To go from overseas to Fuzhong, you must pass through the Taoyuan Village wharf, so the news of Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun's return has not spread all over Liangguo, and Chang Xile knows that they have come back safely.

The two did not rush forward when they passed by, but stopped at the Taoyuan Village pier to repair, and visited Chang Xile by the way. The two of them didn't need anyone else to send a message, and directly rode on the horse in the Shen family inn to Taoyuan Village.

When Chang Xile saw the two of them, he froze directly in place, Shen Baili stepped forward with a smile, and turned around in place very sneeringly, "What, you don't know us anymore?" I haven't seen me for a few years, am I much more handsome than before? ”

"You guys, you two aren't dead!" Rising from his chair, he walked over to them in surprise and looked them up and down. I patted their arms excitedly, and my heart was full of joy.

The two have disappeared for more than three years and nearly four years, and their temperament is very different from before. Shen Baili looked more rugged than before, his skin was tanned, his body was stronger than before, and his shoulders were much wider, but he was still as radiant as before. And Pei Qingyun's originally beautiful and white face was darker and tougher than before, but the overall temperament was more gentle than before, not as bright and aggressive as before.

Shen Baili laughed, "I have been told fortunes since I was a child, and I can live to be at least a hundred years old, how can I die so easily." Anyway, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you kid will enjoy it more and more, this house is really well repaired, and I can see it from afar, even if no one brings it over, I know that this place must be your nest. ”

Pei Qingyun also said at this time: "The entire Taoyuan Village has changed a lot, most of the houses have become green bricks and green tiles, it seems that your life has been getting better and better in the past few years." And the pier, we almost thought we were in the wrong place. ”

Chang Xile just smiled, anxiously wanting to ask them about their experience in the past few years, "Don't talk about my side, where have you been in the past few years?" I thought you were gone, and I was sad for a long time. When the Shen Family Inn was built, your second brother came, and tears came out when he mentioned that you were such a tough guy. It's okay, it's good that you're still alive, and everyone in the family knows about it, right? I must have been overjoyed. ”

"As soon as we returned to Liangguo, we ordered someone to deliver the news, and we should have known it by now. Therefore, we should not stay longer today, and we will leave in a hurry when the ship is repaired. ”

Chang Xile led the two to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and Chang Yu made tea in the small kitchen very tacitly, and served some small snacks.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun were not polite, and they accepted it as a matter of course.

Shen Baili said with a smile: "I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, I would be able to eat the tea and snacks brought by the Wuju people, and it was not in vain that we worked so hard to come back." ”

Chang Yu didn't speak, but sat down beside Chang Xile, helped him pour tea, and served him diligently.

Although the two have always been close, Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun still saw something, and the two of them glanced at each other, both guessing a possibility.

Chang Xile naturally saw their doubts, and said very generously: "If you come back earlier, you can still eat my and Chang Yu's wedding wine." ”

"You're both married!"

Although they had already guessed something, the two of them couldn't help but marvel when they heard this.

Chang Xile grabbed Chang Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Yes, didn't you just guess it." ”

Shen Baili sighed: "I'll just say, in the past, I saw that the relationship between the two of you was so good that you had to wear a pair of pants, and I still envied your brotherhood in my heart, it turned out that I already had a leg." ”

Pei Qingyun, who has always had a poisonous tongue, has now turned around, and he sincerely blessed: "Congratulations to the two of you, it is a great blessing in life to have a lover who finally becomes a family." It just so happened that we brought back some goodies that could be used as a wedding gift for the two of you. ”

Chang Xi was happy to see that the topic was deviated, and hurriedly pulled back, "Don't be in a hurry to talk about me, you still tell me where you have been in the past few years, what you have done, and why you are only back now." ”

At this time, Chang Xile didn't know what the two in front of him had brought back, and he was not in a hurry, as far as he was concerned, it was the happiest to see them return safely now. I am also quite curious about what the two have experienced in the past few years, and seeing that they are dressed brightly, they seem to be living a good life. It can be seen that the demeanor of the two of them must have gone through a lot of hardships, and their temperament has also changed somewhat.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun did not hide it, and told the events that had happened in the past few years, but because of the time, they did not go into much detail, but they also let Chang Xile know the general situation.

The two were also lucky at the time, although the tornado caused the ship to fall apart, but the two survived and were blown to an island. The two didn't know where the strength came from at the time, they hugged each other tightly, but they were not blown away, so they had a companion by their side, and they would not be so dazed and helpless in a strange place.

Thankfully, the place they came to was not an uninhabited island, and it was inhabited. The people there didn't look like them, and they had never seen anyone like them, so they were ostracized at first. Later, seeing that they had no malice, they were gradually accepted. They were penniless at the time, and it was not easy for them to survive, and they could not afford to return home.

"We didn't know that island before, we couldn't understand what they were saying when we first arrived there, thanks to Qingyun's ability, we quickly learned their language, we still had to talk to each other for a long time, and it was difficult to get their acceptance." Shen Baili sighed.

Pei Qingyun smiled, but did not speak, and seemed very quiet.

Although Chang Xile was a little unaccustomed to Pei Qingyun like this, he also felt much more comfortable than when he left before, and he didn't seem so lonely. It's just that probably because of his experience and age, he is more calm.

Although the two were unfortunate but somewhat lucky, they later found other stranded ships, and many of the goods on them were still intact, but unfortunately the people on board were gone.

The two of them used the goods to do business with the locals, and later they got bigger and bigger, so that they had the capital to come back.

Shen Baili said proudly: "You will go to the dock with us for a while, and I didn't bring too many things." It's a bumper harvest this time, and it's definitely going to dazzle you. There are gems and spices everywhere in that place, and it's like you don't need money. And their rarest silk, porcelain and tea, which happen to be in exchange with each other. If this business can continue to be done in the future, it will be a great thing for our entire good country! ”

Chang Xile was also very happy when he heard this, "If this is the case, I am afraid that the DPRK and China will lift the sea ban." ”

As long as it can bring great benefits, he is convinced that many people will be tempted.

Although Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun had just returned to Liangguo, they were known by Shen Pei's family as soon as they entered Liangguo, and it took several days to reach here from Haikou, so they naturally understood some important things that had happened over the years. They were now very confident that the imperial court would be willing to lift the ban, and as long as they saw those things on the ship, they didn't believe that anyone would be able to endure it.

"I've found a few of the things you drew for me before, so let's take a look at them now."

Chang rejoiced, "Really? What did you find?! ”

Shen Baili shook his head with a smile and said to Pei Qingyun: "Look, I'm right, I knew that this guy would definitely be excited when he heard this." Obviously a scholar, but he cares more about these things than a proper farmer. ”

Pei Qingyun smiled and said to Chang Xile: "The ones you painted before have all sunk into the sea together, we have some impressions, but the names don't match." The words there are different from ours here, I said I'm afraid you don't know what it is, so you better go and see for yourself. A few of them are durable and taste good, and we rely on them as dry food along the way. ”

Although Chang Xile was anxious to know what he had found, he was not in a hurry to see it now, "Let's have a meal at home and go over together." ”

Shen Baili waved his hand, "Look at you in such a hurry, where can you eat this meal deliciously." Besides, I think there are a lot of delicious food at the dock, so let's solve it right there. Qingyun and I just wanted to see what Taoyuan Village was like, and I also wanted to surprise you. ”

Several people rushed to the dock together, and Chang Xile saw the things brought back by Shen Pei and the others, and was so surprised that he almost didn't jump up from the ground. Not to mention those eye-watering shiny gems and some strange things, those agricultural products alone made Chang Xile can't help but kneel down for the two.

Peppers, corn, sweet potatoes, grapes, and more! These were the things he wanted the most, and they brought them all back!

Shen Baili pointed to the dried chili peppers piled up on the ground and said, "This thing is very similar to the taste of dogwood, but the spicy taste is stronger." You see this like a lantern, now it's dried, the color is still a little inconspicuous, there are usually several colors and it's pretty to look at, but it's called spicy, I didn't know for the first time I ate one directly and almost spicy me to death. ”

Chang Xile's eyes were hot when he looked at so many chili peppers, although the dogwood tasted good by him, but it was still not enough compared to the chili peppers. When making some dishes, it is far less delicious than chili peppers, and it makes sense that dogwood will be eliminated in the seasoning industry in later generations.

He immediately decided: "You wait, I will cook a dish for you myself, and keep your eyes shining after eating!" ”

Shen Pei and the others also responded very unceremoniously, even if Chang Xile is now a lifter, they haven't seen each other for several years, but they are still as casual as before.

Chang Xile is going to make a dish that is very famous in later generations - boiled fish.

Now the most worrying thing in Taoyuan Village is that there is no fish to eat, and Taoyuan Village now raises fish in the rice fields according to Chang Xile's previous instructions. At first, everyone was a little worried about letting the fish eat the rice, but later it was found that as long as the time for the fry was right, not only would there be no such phenomenon, but also the rice would grow better.

Fish eat the worms of the rice, and the fish manure becomes the nourishment of the rice, forming a cycle.

Although the rice has been harvested, some of the fields will be left to raise fish, and now the fish in Taoyuan Village has become one of the important benefits of Taoyuan Village.

So now everyone raises fish in the field, and they don't usually worry about fish at all. Moreover, the fish in Taoyuan Village are particularly well raised, and other villages do the same, but the fish is not as delicious as Taoyuan Village. Nowadays, the fish in Taoyuan Village has also become a signboard, and the house likes to buy it very much.

Everyone said that this is because of the good feng shui of Taoyuan Village, otherwise how could there be so many talents, and life is getting better and better. Now whose girl can marry in Taoyuan Village, I don't know how many people envy her.

Usually, the fish in Taoyuan Village only needs to be boiled and put a little ginger to be very delicious and tender, but now it will only taste better when it is made into boiled fish.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun both squatted in the kitchen with great interest, watching how Chang Xile did it. When Chang Yu showed how to cut fish fillets, he couldn't help but applaud his hands.

Where is this cooking, it's clearly like a trick.

Chang Yu's fish fillets are thin and uniform, and the speed is very fast, and everyone can see that the fish fillets are cut into the bowl, like the goddess scattering flowers, but they are placed on the plate again.

But after a while, they didn't have such a leisurely appreciation of each step, because Chang Xile began to stir-fry dried chili peppers, there was no range hood here, although the kitchen design was reasonable, but the smell could still make people choke. They finally understood why Chang Cai was happy to die and didn't let Chang Yu stay here, because they were afraid that he would choke on his little lover.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun wanted to continue watching, but they couldn't stand the smell, and rushed out of the kitchen with a cough in their eyes.

Chang Yu is very distressed, which is also the reason why he doesn't like Chang Xile to cook on weekdays, as long as it is stir-frying, the smell of oil smoke will be relatively strong, and the taste is always not good. So no matter how much he likes Chang Xile's craftsmanship, he won't let him do it lightly now.

Although Chang Xile hasn't cooked boiled fish for a long time, even in his previous life, he rarely had the opportunity, but he is not in good health and can't eat spicy. But this seems to be a talent that goes deep into the bone marrow, except for a little rusty at the beginning, it didn't take long to find a feeling, a pot of oily boiled fish out of the oven, not yet eaten, seeing this appearance, I couldn't help but start swallowing saliva.

When a piece of fish fillet is put in their mouths, everyone can't help but squint their eyes.

Shen Baili sighed: "We have been wandering outside for so long, and what we miss most is this mouthful. The food there is completely different from ours, although some of the taste is also good, but it is okay to taste it occasionally, and I always feel that it is not right when I eat it often. It's just that we can only eat and can't do it, and I don't know what's going on, I just can't make the taste of our side there, I always feel a little bit worse, I don't know how many times I've been woken up in my dreams! ”

Pei Qingyun couldn't help but glared at him: "You don't know how many times you have gnawed my arm as a pig's trotter!" In the middle of the night, it scared the hell out of me. ”

Shen Baili said with a smile: "Aren't I dreaming, I miss the Chang family's snail pig's trotter pot." Don't worry, we're back now, and we'll never do it again. ”

Chang Xile didn't even think about blurting out, "You two are sleeping together outside?" ”

Shen Baili froze, and the corners of Pei Qingyun's mouth slowly curved down when he saw him curled up like this.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

Chang Xile suddenly understood something, and he didn't know what to say, so he kept giving Chang Yu the bean sprouts, "Eat more vegetables, don't just know how to eat meat." ”

Chang Yu frowned slightly, but he also ate obediently. He still doesn't like to eat anything other than meat, and he won't touch anything other than meat if he asks for it with great joy.

Only then did Shen Baili come back to his senses and give Pei Qingyun the braised pork clip on the side, "You have a bad spleen and stomach, you can't eat too much spicy, so let's eat this." ”

Pei Qingyun didn't say anything, and ate the white rice silently, but didn't touch the braised pork.

Shen Baili glanced at him, and then looked at Chang Xile, "Can you go to the mansion after a while?" ”

"What's the matter?"

Chang Xile wanted to swim around, but he was so seasick that he was always lazy and couldn't lift his energy. Although taking the medicine that Pei Qingyun gave him before could make him feel a lot better, it still made him feel a sense of fear.

"After a while, Qingyun and I got married, and I want to invite you to go with me."

Bang Dong –

Pei Qingyun accidentally got the dishes and chopsticks to the ground and made a sound, but he didn't pay attention to it, and looked at Shen Baili with wide eyes and incredulity.

Shen Baili said with a smile: "It's too late for you to regret it now, you can't go back on what you said at the beginning." ”

"You ......" Pei Qingyun didn't know what to say, his whole body was trembling.

Although they have been husband and wife, and the two have been together for many days, after all, it was a special period.

The two of them were dependent on each other at that time, and they were surrounded by people who looked different from them in a foreign land, so they inevitably felt lonely and wanted to rely on each other. So it's normal to be unable to hold on for a while, and to want to forget the loneliness and suffering. Now that I'm back, that feeling of loneliness and dazedness is gone, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the same as before.

Pei Qingyun has always understood this truth, so he cherishes the days when the two are together, and even doesn't want to come back for a while. It can be seen that Shen Baili's eyes are looking forward to and worrying about his family, so he can only suppress this thought.

Since returning to Liangguo, he has been nervous in his heart, and he also wanted to ask Shen Baili what he thought, but he was always worried about hearing what he didn't want to hear, so he kept deceiving himself and didn't speak. I was always worried that it was my wishful thinking, after all, Shen Baili really regarded him as a brother at the beginning, and there was nothing charming.

Shen Baili hugged Pei Qingyun over and kissed the corner of his mouth, "I used to say that you were like a woman, and you still said that my mouth stinks, what is the matter with the old man twisting and pinching like this." Am I such an irresponsible person in your eyes? Is it the Lord who casually does that intimate thing with others? Seeing that you have been making trouble for the past few days, where did you say that you scolded me so hard in the past? Don't you even dare to say a word and don't dare to ask? ”

Pei Qingyun couldn't hold back his crying anymore and hugged Shen Baili tightly.

It's not that he's cowardly or his, but he cares too much and turns out to be a coward.

Chang Xi was happy to see this and was happy for them, and also reflected why when the two were married before, why did Pei Qingyun look so weird, it turned out to be like this.

"Congratulations to the two of you, Xiao Meow and I will be there then, and I will give you a big gift when the time comes."

Shen Baili patted Pei Qingyun on the back and said, "You don't need a big gift, you just need to give me this recipe for boiling fish." ”

Chang Xile glared at him angrily, "You are really no one with such a shrewd temperament, and you will be worried about my recipe as soon as you come back!" ”

Shen Baili said with a smile: "This is my engagement dish with Qingyun, of course I have to get the recipe, right, Qingyun." Come on, don't cry, my clothes are expensive. Besides, there are still people here, you can cry in my bed in the future, don't shed tears on weekdays......"

Pei Qingyun sighed in his heart and listened to this, he couldn't help but break his skills, and directly punched him unceremoniously, which made Shen Baili scream in pain. The original embarrassing atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and it turned into a vegetable grabbing meeting.

After the four of them eliminated a large pot of boiled fish, Shen Pei and the others left in a hurry.

It is not easy for the two of them to stay here for such a long time, and this is also because the Shen Family Inn is here, and it needs to be repaired to have this leisure, after all, they have disappeared for so long, and their families are still anxiously waiting for them in the house.

The return of the two caused a huge sensation, and it was not long before the sea ban was lifted, and more and more ships passed through the docks. The wharf has become more lively, and more and more merchants have rented their shops here, and the bamboo buildings that are used as shops have been constantly expanding.

It takes a lot of effort to walk from the beginning to the end, and the shops are rich and diverse, and it has become not only a place for repair, but also a place for shopping.

Not long after Shen Pei and the others returned, Song Bangcheng, who participated in the scientific examination, also came with good news, he had passed the guò palace examination and was admitted to the Jinshi, and he was still a tanhua!

It is said that if it weren't for the fact that the current champion and Bangyan are not young and not good-looking, Song Bangcheng should be the champion.

In this way, the fame of Taoyuan Village is even greater, and Zhuang Yuanlang has been in Taoyuan Village for five years! And when everyone inquired, they found that there were two Wuju people and two Wenju people in Taoyuan Village - the new master also passed the Juren exam this time, and a teenager who had only studied for a few years was also admitted to Xiucai. Hearing this, everyone believes that this place is really good feng shui!

It's just a small village, and there are so many characters, and the things of Taoyuan Village have now spread to many places, and everyone thinks that this place is too auspicious, which also makes the things produced in Taoyuan Village more popular.

The things that come out of Fuku's land are all blessed!

A few months after Shen Pei and the two came back, the wedding was finally set, and the two of them sent someone to send an invitation to invite Chang Xile and Chang Yu to go together. At this time, Song Bangcheng also stabilized, and he was arranged to enter the Hanlin Academy. Because he didn't have time to come back, he entrusted Chang Xile to help ask the dart master to escort his family into Beijing.

To go to the capital, you must pass through the house, so just a few people go on the road together.

And what is unexpected is that Daddy Chang, who doesn't want to step into the mansion again, also wants to enter the mansion with them, wanting to see Gao Yuan, who has not been seen for a long time. Chang Xile didn't tell Daddy Chang about Gao Yuan before, he just mentioned it vaguely, but Daddy Chang seemed to understand something, and he didn't say anything at that time, only sighed deeply.

Chang Xile thought that the two would never communicate again, but he didn't expect that Chang Lao Dad finally figured out to go and take a look.
