Dong Ping didn't know that Xue Dashao had a bad heart, maybe it was the credit of the box of small shortbreads, and his classmates treated him more and more kindly. Everyone reads books and eats together, and often sits in the shade of the tree in their spare time to talk, poems and songs, anecdotes about people's livelihood, everything is discussed, everything is done, it is really happy and comfortable.

Besides, Xue Dashao instructed the little guy to take the silver money to find the ruffians on the street, and planned to ask them to go to the Dong family's small courtyard that sold ice to smash it and give him a bad breath. I didn't want those ruffians to be very happy to collect the money before, but when I heard that I was going to find trouble selling the ice Cao Niangzi, I immediately stuffed the silver back, and refused to take the job, not to mention, and even pulled the little guy out.

That little guy is also a stubborn temper, he has never suffered any grievances since he was a child serving the master of the Xue family, and he didn't want to let a group of ruffians slap his face this time, where could he bear it, so he didn't eat or drink and stood guard outside the ruffian's door for a day and a night. Later, the ruffian couldn't help but squat in front of the door and be as difficult as a debt collector, so he collected ten taels of silver, and cautiously talked about the reason.

It turned out that after Cao Niangzi's business of selling ice was just booming, many ruffians planned to go to the door to get some silver flowers after finding out her details. However, after three or four waves in a row, each group of people was pulled into the dark by a strong man who appeared out of nowhere before they reached the gate of the small courtyard, and when they appeared in front of the people, either this one broke an arm or the other one broke a thigh, which can be described as extremely miserable.

Of course, there are also ruthless people who don't believe in evil, and they bring more than a dozen good hands to gnaw on this hard bone. However, this time it was even more strange, and no one had seen them since the group left the city gate.

The ruffians who have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years finally really smelled the danger in these strange things, so they all regarded the small courtyard of Cao Niangzi outside the city as a forbidden place, even if the purse was shriveled, they didn't dare to fight the idea there. And now the Xue family wants them to smash Cao Niangzi's business, even if they have the courage to start the business. Silver is good, but lifeless flowers are in vain.

Xue Dashao was also suspicious when he heard the small servant's return, could it be that the Dong family and the Cao family are not just ordinary farmers, what other big people are behind them? Although he has been pampered by his parents since he was a child and has developed a domineering temper, this does not mean that he is stupid and has no brains. Since spending money to find someone to make trouble is not successful, endure it for the time being, as long as the Dong family siblings are still in Qingxian County, there will always be a time for him to take revenge.

Dong Rong didn't know that a plate of shortbread would also attract villains for his own family, and since then, he has to make some food and send it to the side gate of the academy every three or four days. And every time Dong Ping receives a food box, he just picks out a piece of Mr. Xiaojing, and the rest is all the classmates who gather by smelling the aroma.

Xizi is greedy, but it's a pity that the good things sent by the hostess are always only one or two so pitiful in his mouth, so he estimated that it was the day when the food was delivered at home again, so he ran to Xiaomen'er to wait.

As the old saying goes, if you eat people, you have a short mouth, and you have a soft hand. The old man guarding the door took Dong Rong another bag of salted peanuts, and then looked at Xizi, who was smiling so flatteringly, that he squeaked open a crack in the door and asked him to go out to breathe.

Dong Rong was very happy to see Xizi, and pulled him to ask his younger brother about his daily routine. Xizi answered clearly and understood one by one, but in the end, he begged the master to add more food next time, and then told everyone how cheeky to come to the door to grab food.

Dong Rong heard what he said and thought it was very funny, but in the end she promised him that she would send more next time, so she drove the little boy who was almost jumping into the door.

After going back, Dong Rong found a clean evening and wrote a thick letter to her younger brother while thinking about it, and put it in the food box when it was time to send snacks. Dong Ping took the letter, read it carefully, pondered for a long time, and then went to his friend's place to walk around and changed his previous reserved appearance. Today I borrowed a few travelogues from someone who had a lot of books at home, and tomorrow I jokingly snatched a piece of ink from someone, in short, there is a great way to recover the interest.

Originally, Xu Mao and the others always blushed for eating and drinking, but the Dong family's food was so delicious that their stomachs that were ravaged by "pig food" couldn't resist the temptation. Everyone has the heart to buy some return gifts but feels that it is difficult to grasp the severity, it is when it is embarrassing, Dong Ping took the initiative to become a "robber", so anyone who has been "robbed" will go to the small courtyard to eat and drink again, it is much more reasonable.

And Mr. Yang's share of "filial piety" was also delivered on time as usual, but Dong Ping slowly changed the timing to the afternoon when the gentlemen gathered to drink tea and enjoy the scenery. The Dong family's dim sum is novel and delicious, and it is naturally welcomed by many gentlemen.

Mr. Yang also gained countless envy and jealousy because of a disciple who knew etiquette and filial piety, and he felt happy even if he ate a few less pieces of dim sum because of this. Dong Ping was often left by gentlemen to take school homework or listen to the crowd talk about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and his knowledge and knowledge were growing rapidly.

In this way, Dong Rong's food box entered and exited through the side door three or four times, which helped Dong Ping to mix well in the academy. Not only did his husband and classmates like him to be generous and thoughtful, but even the cooks in the canteen often pulled him to pester, wanting to learn how to make those novelty dim sums. Dong Ping didn't scold, insult or perfunctory because he was a subordinate, but really replied to his sister and asked.

Dong Rong heard that her younger brother wanted a pasta recipe, so she chose some simple transcripts and put them in the food box and sent them over. The cook's recipe was like a treasure, and he was locked in the stove for a few days, and when he came out again, his skill took a great leap forward.

The soft and easily digestible dough cakes, the shiny and fragrant green onion cakes, and the simple and hidden bean paste steamed buns were all welcomed by everyone, but they were snatched up within a moment when they were served on the table, so the chef rose to the top of the canteen and soon became the chief steward. He is also a person who knows gratitude, and he looks forward to asking Dong Ping for a new recipe again, so he praises Dong Shengren for his gentleness and politeness, and he will definitely take the top prize and become a big official in the future. Even before the canteen opened, he had to wipe Dong Ping's seat clean in person, and he was more respectful and courteous than all the gentlemen.

A few years later, when the news of Dong Ping's gold list title came, the chef had already opened a noodle shop, and he was so happy that he distributed three days of steamed buns for free, and finally changed the name of the shop to the word Wenqu, implying that he was as wise as a torch, and he saw early that Dong Ping was a Wenqu star.

Of course, this is all a later story, and although Dong Rong didn't know about these trivial matters in the academy, she looked forward to the rest of the day, she saw that her younger brother had a ruddy complexion, full of energy, and acted and spoke much more mature and smooth than before, so she let go and turned to seriously implement her orchard renovation plan.

The peach trees that occupy the middle of the mountain, originally she planned to prune and deal with them, trying to ensure that some fruits are harvested in the autumn, whether it is selling, making wine, or drying dried peaches. But Mr. Chen's words that day reminded her that there were very few wealthy families with farms and orchards in Qingxian County, and most of them were medium-sized families who did not worry about food and clothing but did not have constant production. On weekdays, when you are tired of shopping in the back garden and the market, it is inevitable that you want to find a place with a good scenery to walk. If you can open a manor similar to the farmhouse in the previous life, which integrates play, food, drink and accommodation, I think the business will definitely be very good.

In spring, sitting on the hillside, bathing in the peach blossom rain and drinking peach blossom wine. In the summer, I sit by the lotus pond, enjoy the lotus while fishing, and occasionally come to the interest and can also go boating to pick lotus flowers. In autumn, I pick my favorite fruit with a basket on my shoulder, and when I am tired of playing, I sit down and take a nap under the wooden stand full of grapes. In winter, take a bow and arrow all over the mountains to look for rabbits and pheasants to play majestic, and at night around a hot pot to eat sweaty, so if you still don't feel sleepy, then even put on a coat, chisel open the frozen pond to fish...

As long as the beautiful scenery continues at four o'clock, it will definitely not break the guests. But to complete these arrangements, it will inevitably take a lot of time and manpower and financial resources, Dong Rong also hesitated for a long time, but in the end, her yearning for a leisurely life made her decide to take a risk. Even if this manor can't make money, it's nothing, so it's time to open up a peaceful paradise for yourself.

She has a quick temper and immediately implements her decision. Zhao Qingshan and a group of handymen can no longer be as idle as before, in addition to taking care of fruit trees, they also dig ditches, repair roads, and cut wood every day, and they are so busy that they walk with a gust of wind, and they are so tired that they almost have to crawl home when they get off work at night.

Fortunately, within two days, Dong Rong released a message to recruit young students to work in the orchard, because the work is heavier, so the salary is set at 25 yuan a day. That's five pennies more than going into the city to sell ice, and there's another full meal at noon. With the braised pork a few days ago as a guarantee, a group of handymen went home that night and brought their brothers or cousins over. If nothing else, just to make money and save some extra oil and water for the belly.

When the news reached Yimian Po, the whole village was boiling. Those families who followed Dong Rong into the city to sell ice have become more and more comfortable in their small lives, and from time to time they will bring some rice noodles and other things home, and everyone is extremely envious behind their backs. Now that the orchard is close to home, the salary is higher than selling ice in the streets and alleys, and anyone who doesn't want to go is a fool.

In this way, more than fifty juniors ran to Zhao Qingshan to sign up in just one day, but Dong Rong only planned to recruit twenty people, which was a little difficult to do. The folks in the township, they don't look up and see each other on weekdays, and it's not good to drive anyone back. Later, Zhao Qingshan came up with a good idea to draw lots!

Dong Rong pondered for a long time and felt that it was feasible, this was purely up to her luck, no matter what the result was, no one would blame her. So, on the second day, those descendants went up the mountain again and were led to a big bamboo plaque in front of it, and when they caught the paper ball with the word "stay", they directly asked Zhao Qingshan to assign work, and those who caught the blank paper ball went down the mountain in frustration.
