Chapter 164: Late Spring Trivia

Ye Feng vaguely remembered that the ancients would divide spring into Mengchun, mid-spring and twilight spring according to the season. According to this statement, it should be late spring by now. However, the spring and autumn in Chenjia Village have always been very short, and when they encounter a bad year, it is more like they have not passed.

That's it this year.

A few days ago, it was very cold in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference between day and night was very large, so I needed to wear thick clothes, but today it suddenly became hot. Ye Feng, Qianyu and Qianyan even took off their thick cotton jackets and changed into lighter clothes, and they instantly felt a lot freer.

Although the heavy cotton clothes are indeed warm, they are really uncomfortable. Many times, Ye was afraid that they would catch a cold, so they made them dress very thickly. It's like a tightly wrapped rice dumpling, but it can be moved.

After breakfast, seeing that the sun had risen early, Ye Feng and Chen Qianshu prepared to go up the mountain into the forest to have a look. Originally, the road up the mountain was in the backyard of the old house, but now it is zoned as a place for raising pigs and chickens and ducks.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng didn't continue to walk that way.

Every time I come, I have to alarm Chen Jitang. He was already working hard, so Ye Feng didn't want to disturb him to rest. Second, those chickens and ducks are also used to walking that way, and now the road is almost full of chicken and duck droppings.

In the past, Chen Jixing still picked it up from time to time, and then threw it into the manure tank, saying that it was an excellent fertilizer. But now he is simply a son slave, as long as he doesn't go to the ground, he can take good care of the two children by himself without the help of the Ye family.

In this regard, Ye Shi felt very happy and relieved, she was really tired. Taking care of two children is not a matter of one sentence, there are so many things that need to be paid. And they're small now, so there's more to pay attention to.

Chen Jixing is like this, but he can cultivate the relationship between father and son.

Qianyu and Qianyan saw that Ye Feng was going up the mountain, so they quarreled to follow along.

They now live in a room on the second floor, with a window in the back wall, facing the woods. Hearing Ye Feng say that this forest is actually their own, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs planted in it, the two of them have long wanted to go and see it.

But some time ago, the family was too busy, and a few days ago, I was busy with Chen Wumei's marriage, and then it was the big event of separating the family.

Ye Feng also saw that the weather was warmer, so he remembered that he and Chen Qianshu had planted those branches in the forest last autumn. To say that the winter here in Chenjia Village is really unfriendly, although they have built some corn stalks and other things, I don't know if those dendrobiums can survive.

However, when he thought about it, it was also winter when he found the dendrobium in the forest, so it was okay to think about it. Some things are too delicate, but not conducive to their growth, it is better to follow the laws of nature.

Ye Feng led the way in front, Chen Qianshu pressed the formation behind, Qianyu and Qianyan held hands and walked in the middle, and several people walked towards the forest.

This road is in the backyard, and it was newly opened by Ye Feng and asked Chen Jixing to help him. Although the initial slope is very steep, it is actually less steep and not so difficult to walk as soon as you go up the mountain.

Because it was spring, there were a lot of dead branches accumulated in the forest, and I think they fell in winter. As soon as you step on it, it makes a creaking sound. The sound alarmed the resting bird in the forest, and it flew away with its wings in an instant.

These made the two sisters very happy and felt that it was more fun than at home.

Ye Feng has always loved nature, but it's a pity that this forest is too steep, otherwise he would have wanted to develop it into a farmhouse.

But on second thought, it is not difficult to open a farmhouse, just buy another piece of land in the village, the worst kind of land, plant some trees, and slowly put it away.

Anyway, he had bought ten acres of land before, and if he didn't use it to plant flowers and trees, he would have directly used it to develop it into a farmhouse. Speaking of which, it's not too early. When this year's peanuts go down, planning is a matter of time.

Qianyan and the two are also very happy, the two of them are the age of fun, this one to pick a flower, that to see if there are any eggs in the nest, in short, I think it's more fun than at home.

After walking a little further, they came to the largest pomegranate tree.

Last autumn, when the pomegranates were fruiting, Ye Feng carefully harvested a lot of seeds, and after treatment, they were all scattered around here. Now it seems that none of them succeeded.

However, there are obviously a few small trees in the vicinity, and I don't know how they grow. This made Ye Feng very depressed, it seems that artificial planting may not be successful, but it is born successful.

Fortunately, these trees are still small and easy to pot, so it is not a problem to make a potted plant.

After looking at the pomegranate tree, several people walked to the nearest dead tree, this tree has long since died, but it is big, and it has not rotted for the time being, and Ye Feng planted a dendrobium here.

Gently picking up the corn stalk, Ye Feng couldn't help but be ecstatic, the dendrobium planted last autumn did not freeze to death, on the contrary, it grew quite well.

It's just that, perhaps because of the corn stalks, the leaves are a little yellow.

Thinking of the current temperature, Ye Feng decisively removed the corn stalks and let these dendrobiums receive the spring sunshine and nectar.

Chen Qianshu said even more excitedly: "I thought that these herbs would not survive, but I didn't expect that they would survive and grow well." Well, now it's spring, and we can plant some more. ”

His illness has long been cured, and his body has grown a lot. Coupled with the income of Zeng and his mother-in-law, the life of the family is now living again. However, although he bought land and bought a family business, he was not allowed to work in the field.

So, he was also happy to plant with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng also said happily: "Yes, I'm also a little surprised, now it's okay, these dendrobium orchids can be sold at a better price than those at home." The ones at home are more or less artificially grown, but these are all natural. ”

Although Chen Qianshu couldn't understand why it was also a medicinal herb, he had to sell it at a different price because of the different growth environment, but he still believed in Ye Feng's.

He said yes, and that is.

Thinking that there were still a lot of dendrobiums in front of him that needed to uncover the corn stalks, Ye Feng said to the two Qianyu sisters who were having a good time on the side: "You two are playing here, and we will be back soon." Well, don't run around. Otherwise, I won't take you two out to play next time. ”

Anyway, this forest is not big, it is so far from the left and right, and he and Chen Qianshu are walking in front, and the two children will either follow or go home, and there is no other road that has been opened.

As a result, the two walked quickly several places and found that all the dendrobiums were not dead, they all looked good, and both of them were a little happy.

Ye Feng is happy because these dendrobiums are simply silver, and they can be sold for money when they are picked at the end of the year. Ye Feng had already decided not to sell fresh dendrobium, after all, the shelf life was very limited, and he needed to raise it.

He wanted to cut off the strong branches of dendrobium that were more than three years old, dry them, and sell them directly to the pharmacy after simple treatment. In this way, when you encounter merchants from other places, you can also sell them to other places.

Chen Qianshan said because Ye Feng said that these dendrobiums were planted by the two of them together, and for every dendrobium sold in the future, he would be given a dividend of one or two silver. In just this moment, they have already looked at dozens of dendrobiums before and after, which makes him not excited.

If it is said that he has not dared to do heavy work since his body recovered, he has been idle at home, if Ye Feng hadn't given him this opportunity, I am afraid that he would have been said by the people in the village that he was eating idle food. Everyone knows that his wife and his wife are now regular employees of the Yaya Township Kitchen, especially during this time, they have made a lot of money.

In addition to the dendrobium all surviving, several camellia trees dug up by Chen Qianshu from his yard also grew very well, and there is a tendency to grow into big trees. This made Ye Feng feel very happy, and this year he was ready to start grafting all kinds of flowers, trees and fruit trees.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said to Chen Qianshu: "Qianshu, do you sell those camellias in your yard?" The boss of Liuyunxuan asked me several times, saying that he wanted to buy a few pots, and the price was negotiable. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Feng felt funny, and now the boss of Liuyunxuan can be said to be in pain and happy.

Why?

Since the peanut banquet, there have been too many people who have come to Liuyunxuan to reserve a place and want to taste the taste of peanuts. However, the number of peanuts was limited, and they were about to be sold out, so he started selling them in limited quantities according to what Ye Feng said, and the daily sales of longevity fruits were very small.

Rao is like this, or the supply exceeds demand, so according to Ye Feng's words, he no longer uses longevity fruits to cook, but only makes pastries and fried acacia to sell. The pastries are only ten catties a day, and they are sold out while supplies last. As for fried acacia, it's even less, and there are only ten plates a day, anyway, in a predetermined order.

When Ye Feng heard that he was running in line for next year, he was still taken aback. It's just a matter of frying the peanuts, breaking them, and sprinkling them on top, and the peanuts you need are really not much.

But because of these peanuts, the price of pastries has also tripled. This is simply a huge profit, which makes other restaurants hate itchy, but they are helpless. You can't just grab it.

However, they also need to weigh before grabbing, which is something that even Bai Zhixian knows. It is estimated that it was taken down before it moved.

Bai Zhi County is now very hardworking.

However, fried acacia is a favorite of many alcoholics, and it is simply a weapon to accompany wine, so it can be described as a plate that is hard to find now.

Although there are not enough people in the background can only make reservations and line up honestly, but Boss Wang's family has many relatives and elders, and Bai Zhi County occasionally has to have a banquet for colleagues.

In this regard, Ye Feng also showed that he could not help. However, in a month, peanuts will be planted on a large scale in Chenjia Village, and they will be able to eat them again in a few months.

In short, Liuyunxuan has properly become the most popular restaurant in Qingshan County after the peanut banquet, and it has been like this for several months, and there is a faint tendency to catch up with and surpass Lingyunlou. This made Ling Yunlou regret it very much, why didn't he seize this opportunity in the first place.

What they didn't know was that Ye Feng also wanted to give them a chance. It's a pity that they have always been domineering and look down on the poor. Since this is the case, Ye Feng naturally won't go.

And the people who came to Liuyunxuan to eat, especially those who booked the longevity fruit, were either rich or expensive, and after eating, they wanted to buy a pot of flowers to take away. Ye Feng's flowers were basically sold out last time, and the new ones were still being cultivated and had not yet taken shape, so I had to ask Chen Qianshu's family if the camellia was sold.

The camellia in his family has been cultivated for many years. Add a flower pot, plus Ye Feng and a little pruning, and you can sell it directly.

"Well, I'll have to go back and talk to my mother. You know, it's my dad's brainchild. By the way, how much can these flowers sell for a pot? I mean, after removing the cost of the pots and pruning that you provided. ”

Chen Qianshu asked directly.

After staying with Ye Feng for a long time, he is now speaking more and more directly.

The flower pot is fine, it is indeed necessary to pay silver to buy it, Ye Feng saw that he even counted his own pruning fee, so he said with a smile: "We didn't know each other on the first day, what kind of pruning fee, this can not be calculated." If the quality is good, a pot can be sold for ten taels of silver, and if the quality is average, it is at least five taels. As for the flower pots, five hundred wen each. Then, I counted the others for a tael of silver. ”

Chen Qianshu knew the price of the flower pot that Ye Feng said, even a celebrity like Dr. Mao in Chenjia Village, Ye Feng asked him for one or two silver.

Seeing Chen Qianshu's excited look, Ye Feng said: "Then go back and ask Aunt Zeng, I'll wait for your news, but Boss Wang is waiting for me to reply." You know, he's impatient. Oh, by the way, he's going to take a cut too. However, this time he asked for it himself, and he would charge you a maximum of one or two silver for a pot. ”

When he returned home, Chen Qianshu excitedly discussed with his mother. Of course, he focused on the price. This made the lady of the thousand trees very surprised, originally thought that these flowers were just good-looking, how did she know that they were worth so much.

However, she did not plant these flowers, so she did not express her opinion.

Qianshu Niang didn't want to sell them, after all, these flowers were Qianshu's father's favorite. But after hearing Chen Qianshu say that Ye Feng actually knew how to graft, he looked at the camellia all over the yard, and felt that it was okay to sell more than a dozen of them, anyway, there was still a lot left, so after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

After simple pruning, and the pot was filled with the nutrient soil prepared by Ye Feng, how beautiful these camellia are. I don't know what kind of camellia trees are in Chen Qianshu's house, but they bloom almost all year round anyway.

"If you want to say that your craftsmanship is good, you see that when this flower was planted in my yard, it looked like that, but now after you prune it, it seems to have changed, and even I look beautiful." Chen Qianshu said enviously.

Seeing this, Ye Feng said: "This is indeed a craft, but you can also learn it after systematic learning." I would like to start a horticultural training course in the village when I have time, and if you are interested, you can also come and participate in it at that time. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qianshu couldn't believe his ears, this was Ye Feng's unique skill, or the means of eating. Now, he said that he wants to hold a training class, which means that he wants to pass on this skill so that everyone can do it.

"How do you ...... How willing. Chen Qianshu stammered and asked.

Ye Feng said: "Since I have a relationship with Chenjia Village, then I will teach this skill to everyone." In the future, our Chenjia Village will get better and better, so good that everyone can't imagine it. If there is no pillar industry, then it will not work. ”

Although he doesn't understand what a "pillar industry" is, the magic is that he probably understands Ye Feng's meaning.

Just like Chen Jixing's family, they were like this at the beginning, they felt that they could understand the fresh words that Ye Feng popped up from time to time, but they didn't know how to translate them into their own words.

After all ten pots of flowers were ready, the two of them asked Chen Qianshan to drive to Liuyunxuan. Ye Ermei's fetal image is stable now, except for lethargy and surprisingly good appetite, everything else is no different from before. Chen Qianshan was thinking about going to the town to buy some fresh food in the past few days, when he saw Chen Qianshu begging to come to the door.

So they went together.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Boss Wang has become fatter, but his face is full of red light and full of energy. Seeing that Ye Feng brought ten pots of flowers, he bought them all according to the price Ye Feng said without saying a word.

These flowers don't worry about selling at all, after all, there are many scholars and literati who come here to eat, and even if they can't be sold, it's good for him to put them in the store to make up.

Ten pots of flowers, six pots are in good condition, one pot is priced at ten taels, and the other four pots are priced at seven taels, and the silver is twenty-eight taels. In other words, on this trip, ten pots of flowers Chen Qianshu got a total of eighty-eight taels of silver.

went out for four taels of silver for the flower pot, and went to give Ye Ermei a tael of peanut-flavored pastries to try, this time, Chen Qianshu's family got eighty-three taels of silver.

Chen Qianshu, who got the silver, had to invite Chen Qianshan and Ye Feng to dinner, but it was not his turn at all, Boss Wang had already prepared the meal, and invited a few people to go to the private room on the seventh floor.

Facing the seemingly endless stairs in front of him, Ye Feng wanted to persuade Boss Wang if he could not climb so high when he invited him to dinner in the future, even if it was on the first floor, he didn't mind.

But thinking that Chen Qianshu was here for the first time, he endured it.

He really doesn't like to climb this kind of high-rise without elevators.

The quality of the meals naturally goes without saying. Because the longevity fruit is a rare thing after all, not everyone can eat it. So a few chefs spent their lives learning to invent a few new dishes, delicious and inexpensive, in the end to satisfy those customers who did not eat the longevity fruit.

"Boss Wang, your restaurant business is really good, it is really a daily profit, and it is worthy of being the leading restaurant in our Qingshan County." Chen Qianshu complimented sincerely.

He felt that he not only sold flowers today, but also had free rice, but he was really embarrassed, and he couldn't do anything, so he began to compliment Boss Wang.

I have to say that Chen Qianshu's words just slapped his ass and tickled Boss Wang. In particular, the words "leading restaurant" simply made Boss Wang's heart flutter and excited.

Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Little brother has been promoted, it's good to talk about this business, but it needs to be further improved." This, it depends on whether Brother Ye is willing to help. ”

After speaking, he kept staring at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng naturally knew what he meant, and it was obvious that he wanted to monopolize the longevity fruit business for another year. However, this is obviously hard.

Not to mention how many restaurants will buy in Chenjia Village when the peanuts are ripe this year, the villagers will naturally sit on the ground and start the price, and the one with the highest price will get it. When the time comes, Liuyunxuan will be difficult to deal with, and it will be impossible to buy them all.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said, "This is actually not difficult, but I didn't mean that Chenjiacun would sell all the longevity fruits to you this year." It's just, Boss Wang, if you think about it, even if other restaurants buy longevity fruit, they won't do it at all. You say, don't you? When the time comes, if you want to send these chefs in your shop, you can send them over to guide them and teach them how to do it. Of course, it's up to you to pay the fee. Besides, even if they learn how to do it, it will definitely not taste as good as yours, and I don't believe that those chefs will pass on all their knowledge without reservation. ”

To say that Ye Feng's flower is very explicit, but Boss Wang doesn't think it's a pestle at all. Ye Feng was right, as long as he Liuyunxuan had the most complete method of longevity fruit, even if those restaurants bought longevity fruit, they would not be able to compete with him.

Thinking of this, he was in a much better mood, and said to Ye Feng with a smile: "Then when this year's longevity fruit is ripe, can you come and inform me?" That, I mean, gave me advance notice. ”

After saying that, he showed an expression that you know.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Well...... Boss Wang, my second sister has a body, and she has been greedy for the roast chicken and pastries in your store recently. ”

"It's easy to say, I took care of the roast chicken before your second sister gave birth. That's interesting, right? "Roast chicken or something, the store makes it every day. And the second sister of Ye is just a woman, even if she eats one a day, it is not in the way.

"Of course that's fine, it's just a trifle." Ye Feng smiled thiefly.

got the promise, and Boss Wang was relieved.

Anyway, he had won the first opportunity, and he still remembered the way to Chenjia Village. It's a big deal to send guys to keep an eye on it every day, but he went to the field in person last year, and he remembers it clearly, when the harvest was harvested, the seedlings of the long-lived fruit were yellow, indicating that the seedlings were about to mature when they were yellow.

Chen Qianshan and Chen Qianshu listened in horror while eating on the side, and the two exchanged glances and did not say a word.

According to Boss Wang and Ye Feng, it seems that no matter how many longevity fruits are planted in Chenjia Village this year, they will not worry about selling. It's just a pity that this year's seeds are a little small, according to Ye Feng, at most ten acres of land.

Moreover, Chen Qianshan also knew a news in his heart that no one knew, that is, Ye Feng's family would leave an acre of seeds to plant by themselves, and others would not be able to control it at all.

Ye Ermei is now three months pregnant, that is to say, the day his child was born is almost the time for this year's harvest of immortal fruits in Chenjia Village.

Thinking about it again, he felt that he was a little anxious, and before this immortal fruit was planted, he had already begun to look forward to a bumper harvest.

In the evening, Chen Qianshan, who returned home, took the purchased things one by one in the car, and Ye Ermei saw that he was holding a bag of pastries and a roast chicken in his hand, so she said happily: "There is no taste in my mouth these days, I just want to eat some pastries, so you bought them back." Well, this roast chicken is so delicious! ”

Chen Qianshan said: "This is not worth any money." ”

"You went to Liuyunxuan again?" Ye Ermei asked, and couldn't wait to open the paper bag, tear off a piece and put it directly in her mouth. The aroma of peanut crumbles instantly occupied her taste buds, and it was so fragrant.

Chen Qianshan said: "I went, but this pastry and roast chicken were given by Boss Wang." But it's not his favorite, it's Ye Feng's kid who blackmailed him. If you want to say that this flower is really easy to sell, a pot is a few taels of silver. I remember that Qianshu's yard was full of this kind of trees, and it was really a hair now. ”

Qianshu Niang took eighty-five taels of silver and was a little stunned for a while.

It's not that I'm scared by so much silver, but I'm in a trance. She and her daughter-in-law are both cooking now, and they have earned a lot of money in the past few months, and the family has already weathered the difficulties and no longer worries about the silver.

The reason why she was in a daze was because she thought of Chishu and his father.

At that time, she also complained about Qianshu's father who was obsessed with planting flowers and even delayed working in the field because of this, let alone the villagers. Some people even directly sarcastically said that Qianshu's father was afraid that he was crazy, and he didn't go to farm but planted flowers in the yard, learning to read and be elegant.

Now she understands that the camellia in this yard is not only not a waste and useless, but a wealth left to her by his father. There were at least fifty camellias in this yard, and now they were sold for more than eighty taels of silver.

In a sense, guarding these flowers, she and her family will not starve to death. Could it be that this is the back road left for her by his father?

It's just that why wait until now for her to understand this truth?
