After sending away a few noble ladies and looking at the few potted plants left, the Ye family was overjoyed. I closed the door and was about to calculate how much silver I had sold today, when I heard a commotion outside the house.

After thinking about it, he hid the silver and opened the door again. When I got out of the house, I saw a group of villagers outside the house, discussing enthusiastically.

And the content of the discussion, they don't need to ask to know, they want to know how much silver Chen Jixing's family sold flowers today.

"I've seen it, those people are wearing so beautiful clothes."

"Yes, the carriage is also so richly decorated, I really want to touch it. I don't know what it's like to sit in it. ”

"Yes, these people are definitely not short of silver, and they don't know how much money they gave to Chen Jixing's family."

"To say that this Chen Jixing's family is too powerful, it's just a few small trees that grow a little more spiritually, of course, the shape is indeed a little strange, plus a flower pot, you can actually sell so much silver!"

Hearing this, the Ye family only felt that their heads were big.

It's just that these women are too ostentatious, they all sit in luxurious carriages, and they also bring maids. Especially when the woman in red got into the chariot and took the money, they all saw it.

Seeing so many people, Ye Fengfang regretted it a little.

I only blamed myself for why I didn't close the door in the first place and didn't let the villagers come in to watch. As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts, especially if everyone is not rich, and there is no telling what will happen.

In the eyes of the villagers, their own small pot of flowers can be their income for the whole year. But as everyone knows, from digging trees in the mountains, slowly selecting, to firing flower pots, going home to prune and cultivate, and configuring suitable soil...... Which one is not hard work, and which link does not require hard work and dedication.

The most important thing is that Ye Feng is very likely to be the only horticulturist in this time and space. Ye Feng's energy is limited, and the potted plants are not mass-produced now, so they are naturally expensive. When you get more in the future, the price will naturally drop a lot.

However, the villagers only knew that he had sold a lot of silver today, but they did not know and did not want to know anything else.

After greeting for a while, and the sun was getting stronger and stronger, everyone slowly dispersed. Ye Shi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, became happy again, and started 1510

Count the silver.

This number is actually as much as one hundred and ninety-five taels, which makes the family happy.

Ye Feng was even happier and bluntly said that he could buy land to build a new house.

Although the silver was sold, Ye Feng was a little worried, they were indeed too careless today, they didn't expect that there would be so many onlookers. However, if the mouth grows on someone else, it can't be controlled.

Since this is the case, Ye Feng thought about it, and he had to start with his own family.

Mrs. Liu doesn't have to work, and she likes to wander around the village every day when she has nothing to do and chat with the older generation about gossip.

As for the Huang family, it is even more powerful, the famous little horn in the village, how many things are passed out of her mouth. Although Zhu is weaker, he is not a vegetarian.

Therefore, the old mansion is a big family, and it is powerful and can be "used". Speaking of which, it's time for them to repay Chen Jixing's family. During this time, the Ye family never forgot the old house whenever there was good food.

Not to mention the Zhu family, they have gained a lot of benefits from cooking.

Therefore, Ye Feng told Ye Shi his thoughts, and Ye Shi naturally agreed, feeling that Ye Feng was thinking very thoughtfully. As soon as the two of them put it together, they wanted to take advantage of the recent agricultural slack to invite the people of the old house to dinner in the form of a small family gathering.

In the evening, after dinner, Ye Shi talked to Chen Jixing again.

As soon as he heard that he was going to invite the people from the old house to dinner, Chen Jixing was willing.

Since Chen Jida joined the Yaya Township Kitchen, he has become closer and closer to Chen Jixing, and every time he meets him in the field, he will chat with him for a while. This made Chen Jixing feel more and more happy, he was about to usher in the birth of a child, and now he has bought a field and has some silver at home, so he attaches more and more importance to family affection.

Chen Jixing said: "Otherwise, the day after tomorrow, the grass in the field by the lake has not been pulled out yet, and it is estimated that it will be finished tomorrow." ”

For the first time, he had his own land, and Chen Jixing was very careful, pulling out the grass in the field to no longer have a single left, and also cultivating all the corn and fertilizing it.

This busyness is more than half a month.

On this day, Chen Jixing went to the city to buy meat and vegetables according to the plan, Ye Feng didn't want to go, but he knew that he had to prepare paper, ink and brushes at home now.

In the next step, he will definitely cultivate more potted plants, and the peanuts in the field are about to ripen and sell, so it is imperative to keep accounts.

The Ye family is happy to be idle, and now she doesn't have to do these things. Although Chen Jixing is wooden, with Ye Feng to follow, he is not afraid of being cheated of money. Moreover, these few times he cooked, Chen Jixing followed to purchase, and naturally knew the price of general items.

And most of the two of them will go to familiar shops to buy them, so don't be afraid.

When I arrived in the city, I thought that it would be inconvenient to keep it all the time if I bought vegetables and meat first, so I decided to buy paper and pen and ink first.

The two of them asked several study houses in a row, compared the prices one by one, and finally Ye Feng made a decision and bought 300 pieces of the cheapest yellow paper, an ordinary brush, and the most inferior ink.

It's not easy to make an account book, you don't need to buy a ready-made one at all, just take the yellow paper home and let Ye help sew it.

As for the inkstone, it is even more unaffordable, and it is okay to directly use the broken pottery bowl at home.

It still took nearly 500 wen to wrap around like this. It seems that the novels I used to read were not all deceptive, at least poetry, books, pen and ink have always been luxuries, not bought by ordinary families.

After buying these "luxury goods", the two went to buy vegetables and meat.

The first to go was the horse butcher's meat stall, and now, the two are already very familiar, whether it is for daily food or to make needs, they are basically packed by the horse butcher.

I think that at the beginning, Chen Jixing's house couldn't come once for several months. Now, however, it has become the one that buys meat most frequently in Chenjia Village.

Moreover, there is a lot of meat needed to cook, and basically once the duck and duck village chef comes, the horse butcher can rest for a few more days.

When the horse butcher saw that it was Chen Jixing and Ye Feng, there was a smile on his face, because he said, "Little Brother Ye, is this time still the same as before?" ”

The so-called is the same, that is, three catties of fat and thin pork belly and a few catties of pork ribs each time. Chen Jixing's family is only a few people, and there are too many to eat.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "You need to have a treat at home, so let's get ten catties of meat." As for the ribs, it's better to come for five catties. ”

The horse butcher said with some surprise: "Ten catties? Isn't it a little too much? It's hot now, and if you can't finish eating, you're going to lose your taste. ”

These words made Ye Feng very moved, changed to ordinary people, what if you just buy twenty catties, people don't care if you finish eating or not, just give enough money anyway.

Ye Feng said: "It's okay, you just cut it." In addition to eating, you also have to take some to give away. In this way, these ten catties of meat, you cut it... Well, cut into five, one for two catties. "Ye Feng originally wanted the horse butcher to cut it into two pieces, one piece of five catties.

After thinking about it, Huang is a picky person, if he takes a piece of five-pound meat home for her, it is better to give her two pieces of two-pound.

After buying meat, the two went to familiar places to buy some rare dishes, such as garlic sprouts. In fact, this garlic sprout is not uncommon, as long as there are people who grow garlic at home. However, this season is unusual.

This garlic sprout fried meat tastes average, but it smells so fragrant that it makes people drool when they smell it.

This stall selling garlic sprouts belonged to Song's sister-in-law, and when she saw Chen Jixing and Ye Feng coming, she greeted her with a smile.

This sister-in-law Song is the best at doing business, you buy vegetables, she will send some shallots, garlic or something, which makes people feel happy, as if they have taken advantage of something. No, seeing that Ye Feng asked for three catties of garlic sprouts, she gave a handful of shallots and two garlic.

After buying vegetables, the two bought some braised meat.

Chen Jixing's second brother Chen Jida is okay, but now he can be regarded as having insight, perhaps because he has enough oil and water, and he is no longer as gobbling up as before.

But his eldest brother Chen Jiwang still loves to eat braised vegetables as always, especially the pig's ears mixed by Ye Feng, and he can eat a plate by himself with wine.

Since it is a treat, and you have to trouble the other party to help, then you must make people satisfied.

If it was cool in the morning, but now, the sun has risen so high that even if you sit still, it's hot. Although Chen Jixing carried all the dishes in a basket, the pork was carried in his hands.

In such weather, if you put it in a basket, it will change its flavor as soon as you get home.

In order to avoid being blinded, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Jixing stopped, asked Ye Feng to put the meat in, and picked a few leaves on the side of the road. Originally, the invitation was to let the people in the old house help, and when someone in the village exaggerated, he helped to clarify, if he swaggered back with ten catties of meat, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.

When I got home, Ye's had already made steamed buns and simply fried two vegetarian dishes. The family had a brief lunch on this dish and began to prepare dinner.

Ye Feng thought that now the Zhu family is a good cook, and when cooking, the Ye family can also have an in-depth communication with her, which is better than saying it in front of everyone, so he said it to the Ye family.

Ye felt that it was very reasonable, so he asked Chen Jixing to invite Zhu to come, and by the way, he told the people in the old mansion and asked them to come over for dinner in the evening.

After a while, Zhu came covered in sweat.

Chen Jixing is a wooden one, and along the way, no matter how she asks, she can't ask why. It stands to reason that even if the Ye family is rich, there is no need to invite guests to dinner at every turn.

Besides, let her help first, there must be something to say.

Seeing that Chen Jixing didn't seem to be lying, for a while, Zhu was a little puzzled.

It was Ye's family, who saw that Zhu's body was covered in sweat, and he felt a little guilty. If it weren't for her inconvenience, she wouldn't be able to cook so many people's meals by herself, and she wouldn't have needed Zhu to come over to help so early.

Qianyan hurriedly went to bring a bowl of water. As soon as Chen Jixing set off, Ye Shi let people make tea and cool it.

Xu was very thirsty, sweating a lot, and Zhu drank most of the big bowl of tea.

Seeing that the two were about to start chatting, Ye Feng withdrew. As for Qianyan, he has always had the habit of taking a nap, so he went to bed a long time ago.

Ye didn't hide it, and said directly to Zhu: "Second sister-in-law, I need your help this time. Didn't I sell some potted plants a few days ago, and I got a total of 20 taels of silver, but I don't know who saw it, and I thought it was a pot that sold 10 taels of silver. As they say, are we not sent out? So, the next time you meet someone who says that, you have to help clarify it. ”

In fact, the Zhu family had heard this rumor a long time ago, but she didn't believe it in her heart. If you really want to be like those people said, you can just go to the forest and pull out a few trees and sell them for ten taels of silver, then everyone doesn't have to work, just go and plant trees.

However, she also had reservations in her heart, feeling that it was impossible to sell a total of ten taels.

Now, hearing Ye say this, I am relieved. It's just that she didn't believe it and sold it for twenty taels of silver. However, since Ye didn't want to admit it, she was also happy to help, anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her, it was just a few words by the way when it was convenient.

Moreover, before she and Chen Jida joined the Yaya Township Kitchen, she inherited the love of the Ye family.

Therefore, he smiled at Ye's family: "I'll just say, there must be something wrong with calling me over so early." It's a trifle, and it's just for me. If I meet it, I'll definitely help you clarify. To say that these people are really, people's hard-earned silver, even if it is more, it is also people's. If you have time to chew the root of your tongue, you might as well pull the grass out of the field. Who in the village doesn't know that the third brother worked in the fields under the scorching sun during this time. However, your third brother is really ...... Along the way, I asked him for a long time, but he couldn't say anything. ”

Zhu has also started to make money recently, so she hates people asking how much she has earned. In her opinion, she doesn't steal or rob, and it doesn't matter to others how much she earns.

Ye Shi smiled: "Don't you know, he is just like that, a gourd without a mouth, and he has few words." If he had said it carefully, it would not be normal. ”

The two gradually chatted, but they didn't stop in their hands, and they kept choosing vegetables and picking beans. More than ten people's dishes, after they are done, they don't look like much, but in fact, before they are put into the pot, there are still a lot of them.

After resting, Zhu and Ye went into the kitchen.

Zhu is responsible for cutting meat and cutting bones, and Ye is responsible for cutting vegetables. After doing this, Ye Shi mixed the pot with water, put ginger and green onions, threw the bones in, and began to boil the soup.

She plans to use this soup for noodles.

When the two were busy in the kitchen, Ye Feng came in and said to Ye and Zhu: "When I was at home before, I had seen a dish, and it was extremely easy to make. Why don't we make some tonight, and everyone will try it. If you think it's good, we can push it out the next time we cook. ”

When Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up.

To be honest, although Duck Duck Country Chef is now a little famous, it is still much worse than the chefs in the town and city. Without him, aside from other factors, people can innovate from time to time.

However, the duck duck country kitchen takes the low-end route, and it has always used those fixed dishes. At the beginning, it was naturally nothing, but when the villagers became rich in the future, such stagnation would definitely not work.

Ye is also a studious, and during pregnancy, it has been hot recently, and he often has no appetite, so he is a little eager to try it when he hears Ye Feng say that there are new dishes.

Ye Feng said: "This dish is very simple, and the name is straightforward, it is called garlic and white meat." After speaking, he asked Zhu to cut a piece of pork of about two catties in half, and threw about a catty of pork belly into the bone broth that had been boiling for a while and boiled.

After doing this, Ye Feng said to Ye's family: "Sister, just cook this meat well, you can't cook it too much." If you're not sure if it's cooked, poke it with chopsticks. ”

Actually, this dish is what Ye Feng likes to eat, and he can make it.

At that time, he had just started work, and almost all of them ordered takeout. However, takeout is not only expensive, but also tastes like that, and you will get tired of eating it for a long time. In desperation, Ye Feng learned how to cook seriously for a while, but it is estimated that he really has no talent and can't learn anything.

In the end, he simply created his own trick, that is, no matter what the dish, whether it is meat or vegetarian, throw it directly into the water and boil, and after cooking, go to the supermarket to buy various spices and eat it cold.

For a little complicated, pour the vegetable oil directly into the pot, and return the cooked vegetables to the pot after heating.

Don't say it, it's very simple to do this, especially suitable for an otaku like Ye Feng.

The method of this garlic white meat is also quite simple, no matter whether it is authentic or not, anyway, people who love garlic and meat like it like it.

While the meat was boiling in the pot, Ye Feng took the garlic sent by Sister-in-law Song in the morning, peeled it all, and pounded it with a garlic mortar. When pounding, let Ye cut the cucumber and cut it thinly.

Cucumbers are juicy in summer, and for a while, the house is full of the fragrance of cucumbers.

After doing this, Ye Feng took a bowl and let Ye operate it, he just told the method. Ye prepared the seasoning according to what Ye Feng said, and put it in a pottery bowl to adjust it. Scoop up some of the bone broth and pour it into the seasoning to taste.

When Zhu reminded him that the meat was almost cooked, Ye scooped it up. After cooling for a while, Zhu began to cut the meat. It is also cut thinly.

Seeing that everything was ready, Ye Feng said: "There are two ways now, one is to mix the meat, cucumber slices, and shredded green onions, and pour the seasoning that has just been prepared." The second is a piece of cucumber wrapped in a piece of meat, wrapped and neatly placed on a plate, which can be eaten directly or poured with seasoning. ”

When Zhu heard it, this method was indeed very simple, but he just didn't know what the taste was.

With Ye Feng's encouragement, Zhu chose to make cucumber slices wrapped in meat, and Ye chose to pour the seasoning directly. She has a strong taste now and likes to eat this kind of thing that stimulates her taste buds.

After a while, both of them made a plate of each, and a pound of pork belly was clean.

The three of them tasted it separately and thought it was good. The cucumber slices are more fragrant, while the ones without the cucumber slices are more stimulating to the taste buds, and the garlic is fragrant.

For a while, all three of them ate more.

When I reacted, I actually ate most of it. Fortunately, there was still time, and Ye hurriedly threw the half of the pork belly he had just cut into the pot and boiled it.

When Huang and Chen Wumei helped Mrs. Liu into the door, a unique fragrance of fried meat with garlic sprouts came out, and Huang swallowed his saliva.

She was very happy about today's dinner.

Like this, she can eat a big meal without spending money, and she is naturally happy to come. And she doesn't need to do anything to cook, just sit down and eat when the meal arrives. If you do too much, you can take a bowl back when you go.

The three Chen Jixing brothers had just returned from the field, and they smelled of sweat and dung. It turned out that Chen Jixing was teaching his two brothers how to fertilize in the field. Chen Jiwang cultivated soil last year, but he did not try to fertilize.

The corn leaves were thin and long, and he got some of them on his body when he poured dung.

Qianyan is also a discerning person, greeted a few people, and went to the stove room to bring hot water out to wash hands for a few people.

After a while, four meats, three vegetables and seven dishes were served on the table, and a large pot of noodles was served. At the same time, there is a large pot of bones at the table with children.

Maybe it's the first time I eat it, and everyone has a very high opinion of the garlic white meat. Especially Chen Jiwang, a carnivore, thinks that this dish is simply too appetizing, pure meat, and in a hurry, unlike those finely cut meat, which is not enjoyable at all.

The people at Mrs. Liu's table prefer to be wrapped in cucumber slices, which is more refreshing and delicious.

At the end of a meal, whether it was a pure meat version or a white meat with garlic coated with cucumbers, everyone ate it all. Chen Jiwang poured the juice directly into the noodle soup and mixed it, and drank two large bowls.

After eating, Chen Jixing and his two brothers left early, and they were going to the lake to swim in the water. The men in the village are basically like this, in the summer, they are stripped naked, and they plunge directly into the lake to cool off.

Therefore, there is absolutely no woman who will go to the lake at this time.

The Ye family personally stepped forward to help Mrs. Liu, and said today's purpose in front of the Huang family: "Mother, you must have heard that there are always people in the village now, saying how much silver our family sold flowers for." In fact, these are all misinformation, and I ask my mother and sister-in-law to help clarify and clarify the next time they meet. Now the family has saved some money, but they can't afford to build a house soon, and the cost is huge. As you can see, this house is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and it is very shabby. Besides, Qianyan, this girl is big again, I'm about to give birth, and I won't be able to live if I don't build a house. ”

Ye's words were sincere, and these people had just eaten a good meal, so they naturally had a soft mouth, and they had to help. Mrs. Liu is even more supportive of the Ye family, she doesn't want anyone to come to borrow money.

All this silver belongs to her grandson, and no one is allowed to stain half of it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu said: "You are right, no matter how expensive a pot of flowers is, how can it be sold for ten taels of silver as they said." These people are just poor and crazy, and they have nothing to do when they are full. Don't worry, there is a mother here, so I have to say it for you. If I hear it, I have what I can do. Besides, you don't need money to build a house or something? ”

When Mrs. Liu spoke, there was a sudden ruthlessness, and the Huang family on the side was a little frightened, and wondered in her heart if she had heard something.

She can't be blamed for this, just this morning, someone really asked her that. However, she didn't help to clarify, just said: "How do I know, so I want to know and ask myself." ”

In her eyes, this is naturally not a stone.

Seeing that Huang was in a daze, Mrs. Liu was about to say a few more words, but Ye took the lead, she took Huang's hand and said: "In the future, I will trouble my sister-in-law to help me more, by the way, when your third brother went to buy meat today, he accidentally bought too much." You know, he is a good talker, and it must be the meat seller who saw that he was honest and cut more. When I go home for a while, my sister-in-law will take it back by the way, and I will give you a tooth sacrifice tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Huang smiled and said, "It's still polite to my brother and sister, since that's the case, then I won't shirk." Don't worry, if I know who's talking behind my back, I'm going to tear her mouth apart. ”

It's okay to save yourself a lot of words, Mrs. Liu thought in her heart. Originally, she wanted to warn the Huang family a few words, because Chen Wumei had won a few taels of silver for nothing before, and she was happy.

However, now it seems that there is no need, and the Ye family can do it with a few catties of meat.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but look at Ye a few more times, and unconsciously, Ye grew rapidly and knew how to attract people.

After sitting for a while, several people said goodbye and went home, Chen Wumei led Mrs. Liu, Huang carried a few catties of meat, and Zhu took the rest of the vegetables. Along the way, the cool breeze took away the scorching heat of the day.

The family chatted and walked like this, which can be regarded as a happy one.
