Chapter Seventy-Three: The Problem of Cooking
"Ho! Li Chen, I haven't seen it for a few days, the change is really not small! ”
"Huh? This is a new well. ”
"Yo, the vegetables grown in this new greenhouse?"
When the old man got into the new greenhouse, looking at the lush and high-quality vegetables in the greenhouse, his eyes suddenly flashed with a thief's light, and the excitement made Li Chen's heart tense for a while.
After chatting with the two women who were busy picking vegetables inside, the old man pulled a cucumber from the cucumber rack, did not wash it, wiped it with his hand, opened his mouth, and took a bite. Don't look at the more than sixty, a mouth of teeth is still very well maintained, at least quite neat.
"Mm-hmm, yes, that's the smell!"
"What's the smell?"
Li Chen was quite puzzled?
"What does it smell like?"
The old man glanced at Li Chen, like an idiot: "I don't know what the taste is, did you grow this dish?" ”
The old man took another bite of the cucumber and walked to the tomato stand as he chewed it.
Looking at the old man's sweeping posture, Li Chen shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Li Zhiqiu came over: "Chenzi, who is this old man, why is he so rude to you?" ”
Li Zhiqiu also came to work in Li Chen's mountain field, it was his daughter-in-law Geng Lan who took the initiative to find Li Chen, I don't know how they figured it out, but Li Chen agreed without the slightest hesitation, but Geng Lan, who had prepared a belly of rhetoric, couldn't come back to his senses for a while!
Li Chen arranged for Li Zhiqiu to take care of the vegetable greenhouse first, and then prepared to let him take care of the fruit trees.
"The guest I invited, oh, by the way, Brother Zhiqiu, I tell everyone, you have to be polite to his old man in the future!"
Li Chen waved his hand and whispered.
Li Zhiqiu saw that Li Chen was serious and nodded.
"Li Chen, your vegetables are getting better and better!"
Out of the greenhouse, the old man seemed to be a little unsatisfied.
"You've won a prize!"
Li Chen was modest.
"Now, my old man is blessed!"
The old man said, and continued to walk away with his hands behind his back.
"Huh? Where did this little rabbit come from? It's fat!"
Just a few steps away, a few fat little rabbits jumped out, and when they saw Li Chen, they all gathered over, and when they saw these rabbits so cute, Old Man Yuan was also surprised.
"My brother and I picked it up from the back mountain years ago, and now my sister is raising it!"
Li Chen said as he found a few fresh vegetable leaves and threw them to them, seeing them eating them in a big gulp, it was very sweet, and Li Chen's heart was also inexplicably relaxed and happy.
The old man also nodded as he watched from the side.
"Wow!"
The sound of the dog barking came, and several little rabbits alertly pricked up their ears, and then each picked up a vegetable leaf and jumped to the side, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After a while, Xiao Huang ran down from above, first glanced at the old man with vigilant eyes, and then came to Li Chen's feet and rubbed around, his tail wagging very happily.
"Xiao Huang, let me introduce you, this is Grandpa Yuan, who will live in our mountain farm for a period of time from today, you have to be polite to Grandpa Yuan!"
Li Chen squatted down, rubbed Xiao Huang's head, and instructed it at the same time.
Old man Yuan listened ridiculously, and said in his heart that Li Chen, this kid is really interesting, and he actually instructed the puppy?
Unexpectedly, after listening to Li Chen's words, the puppy really looked at himself carefully, his eyes were a lot softer, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, and said that Li Chen is so good at raising dogs? This puppy is smart enough!
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away, it was my sister coming.
"Grandpa Yuan, why are you here?"
"Ah, hehe, Li Xue, I'm an uninvited guest."
"Sister, isn't this what Grandpa Yuan said last time that he would come over to live for a while, but now his old man has really done what he says, so you have to make more for the future meal!"
Li Chen hurriedly said.
My sister was naturally surprised when she heard this, and her mouth moved, but she didn't say anything, just nodded.
Old man Yuan seemed to see her concerns: "Li Xue, if I come to live, will it cause you a lot of trouble?" ”
"Ah, Grandpa Yuan, don't bother, we're very welcome! It is... It's just that I'm worried that the meals we cook aren't to your taste. ”
My sister was heartbroken, but she still expressed her concerns.
"You're wrong!"
The old man smiled: "I won't tell you, I came here, but I came for the vegetables grown by your family, or last time, I eat your food, and I am already addicted, so ah, as long as you don't bother me, I love to eat whatever you do!" ”
Seeing that the old man had said everything about this, Li Xue could only smile and nod again and again.
Old Man Yuan really stayed.
Li Chen didn't craze into a room with him as he said, and he originally suggested that the old man go back to his old house to live, although it was old, it was much stronger than the mountain field. But the old man shook his head like a buleng drum and was stunned to disagree. There was no way, so Li Chen vacated his room for the old man, cleaned up the utility room on the side, and lived by himself.
It doesn't matter to him, but the old man's conditions must be as good as possible for him.
But there was one thing that made Li Chen very helpless.
It was Xiao Wu, the life secretary who originally said that he would leave soon, but he didn't go, or he didn't go far, but parked the car in the corner on the edge of the mountain, and he actually lived there.
Although the March day was a lot warmer, it must have been unbearable to lie in the car.
At the beginning, Li Chen had persuaded him to either go or come to live in the mountain field, but this kid was so hard-headed that he didn't want to say anything, so he lived in the car.
Old Man Yuan also found him and asked him to leave, but he didn't listen.
Later, the old man simply ignored him.
Seeing this person so conscientious, Li Chen looked up to him at the same time, but also had even more doubts about the identity of Lao Yuantou.
However, doubts are doubts, Li Chen is not bored to check anything, in his opinion, the interaction between people is natural, and it is really boring to involve messy.
Since the old man stayed, he really did what Li Xue did and what he ate, and he was never a picky eater.
I don't know if the old man really likes to eat, or the dishes in the greenhouse are really delicious, the old man actually eats extra sweet, as if he is eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and Li Chen and Li Xue who saw it were also greatly infected, and couldn't help but eat more.
Mr. Yuan also deliberately took out 500 yuan, saying that it was a month's food expenses. Li Xue and Li Chen naturally refused to ask for this money, and in the end, the old man had no choice but not to mention it anymore.
With the addition of two security guards and Old Man Yuan to the mountain field, plus Li Chen, Li Chen saw that his sister's cooking was a little hard, so he mentioned it to the people who were busy in the mountain field, saying that whoever could cook part-time could add some additional wages.
Unexpectedly, the second aunt Zhang Qiuyan and Geng Lan's sister-in-law volunteered to take over the errand. But they didn't agree with the salary increase, saying that Li Chen had already given a lot.
The simplicity of the villagers moved Li Chen very much. The idea of leaving a few people for a long time is even more in my heart.
