Chapter 226: Farmhouse
The search for relatives continues, and every day there are people who are happy to find their loved ones, and of course, there are also those who cry and are disappointed that they still have not found their relatives over time. These people either don't have all the information, or their relatives aren't here. No matter how hard the volunteers tried, they couldn't find it.
However, this does not stop the tourists from having fun.
In addition to food, there are a few things that tourists talk about the most.
The first is the beautiful scenery of Chenjia Village.
To be honest, when everyone came, they mainly came for food and family search meetings. They were all curious about the beauty of this event, which even His Majesty the Emperor strongly supported. As a result, when they participated, contributed money and efforts, they were all moved to tears, and they did their best to help those in need.
It is said that after the family tracing meeting, several tourists have finally made up their minds to join the ranks of volunteers. In the end, I heard Kang's say that you don't have to go to Chenjia Village to volunteer, you can do it at your own doorstep. Doing good deeds can be done anytime, anywhere, regardless of location or strength.
Only then did he give up the idea of taking root in Chenjia Village.
Kang didn't lie to them. She, Ye Feng and Bai Zhi County had already made a calculation, and when this family search conference came to an end, they would write to the imperial court and suggest that volunteers be set up in various places.
However, the ten views of Chenjia Village are not imaginary, they are really beautiful. The natural scenery and the acquired design simply complement each other.
The first is the Lake Center Pavilion. It is said that there are many pavilions in the center of the lake all over the country, but it is really rare to dare to build the pavilion in the lake like Chenjia Village. Some experienced tourists naturally know that some lakes are not lakes at all, but were formed by diverting water at a later stage.
Especially in the weather like this, there is often wind, and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers gradually fade, and now it is the world of lotus flowers. There are even tourists who, on a whim, disregard the advice of the villagers, secretly jump into the lake and dig up some lotus roots.
At this time, the lotus root was not ripe at all, and there was really no plan to see it, and slowly no one did such a thing anymore.
However, there are too many tourists who come to the Lake Pavilion every day, or come to blow the wind, or come to see the scenery, but it is not worth the trip.
Secondly, the beauty of the rhododendron forest is really attractive.
Although the azaleas are not as gorgeous as they bloom in May and June, due to careful cultivation and timely fertilization, there are many trees that bloom now. And the autumn in the forest is crisp, and it is also a beautiful thing to call a person to eat, and it is also a beautiful thing to sit in the forest while eating while watching the scenery.
Even if you don't want to spend money, there are tanstoves and charcoal in the pavilion, and you only need to walk to the forest to fetch some mountain spring water, and you can boil water to drink as soon as you fill it in a pot.
Then there is the apricot tree of Erniu's house, after a few days of visiting, the branches of the tree have been hung with dense red cloth strips, as well as various notes written with people's wishes.
Erniu's mother and Erniu's daughter-in-law, Yang, have been busy leading the way for tourists recently, as well as selling some red cloth strips and incense candles for paper money. For this alone, it is said that he has already earned several taels of silver.
In addition, the docents are also good, the men and women are beautiful, and the speech is clear, which leaves a deep impression on the tourists.
Second, the farmhouse opened by Chen Jixing's family is also very popular.
Speaking of land, now in addition to Mr. Zhao's family, I am afraid that Chen Jixing's family has the most land, not only planting long-lived fruits, planting fruit trees, planting flowers and plants, but also a large forest.
That's fine, I don't know who inspired it, Chen Jixing's family took a few acres of land out, and only planted some bamboo, apricot trees, fruit trees or something in the field, and built a small yard far away, there is everything in the yard, which is the most suitable for this kind of tourists who come out for a family to travel.
The developed projects are also very down-to-earth, to put it bluntly, they are do-it-themselves and use local materials. As for the food, you can make it yourself, or you can use the people waiting inside to make it, and you can pay for it.
Let's take Mr. Liu's family from Xianshan County as an example. Mr. Liu's family is a celebrity in Xianshan County, not only has silver, but also has someone in the family who is an official in the county.
This time, according to the requirements of the imperial court, each county must send a representative to Chenjia Village to contact the affairs of the abduction, and Liu Kui, the son of Master Liu, contributed the most in this matter, and was the best at figuring out the intentions of the imperial court, so he was sent by the county without accident.
Liu Kui's wife, Zhang, was born in a celebrity, and she didn't want to come because she knew that there must be nothing fun here when she heard the name of Chenjia Village. It's crazy to ask her to go to the village to play with a daughter.
However, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were very interested, and felt that they were tired of being in the county and wanted to change the environment, so they followed Liu Kui.
When Zhang heard this, he couldn't do it, so he had to follow.
Naturally, there is no reason in the world for her mother-in-law and father-in-law to go out on a long journey with her father-in-law, but she herself enjoys happiness at home. If you really want to do this, you won't be pierced through the backbone.
Therefore, Zhang was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not dare to show it. After all, the family is happy, and it's not a matter for her to keep her face tight.
As a result, halfway through, Zhang knew that this Chenjia Village was the world-famous Chenjia Village, and the complaint in his heart immediately disappeared, replaced by excitement. Recently, people have always been talking about this Chenjia Village in her ear, and she is also very curious.
Now, I can meet it in person.
When he arrived, he was arranged in the Lotus Inn, and ate all kinds of delicious food in the shop, and Zhang's complaints were long gone. To say that these foods are so distinctive, and they are clean, it is completely different from what you imagined.
On this day, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu heard about the name of the farmhouse again, so they brought their family here to feel it.
When I arrived, I saw a very distinctive house, a small window was opened, and someone was queuing in front, so Zhang hurriedly walked a few steps faster, and hurried in front of Mr. Liu to ask the crowd queuing in front of him: "Why do you need to queue?" Is it here to go to the farmhouse? ”
The man said, "Yes, because there are so many people, you need to queue up." You came at the right time, and if it's late, you won't have a place to stay. There are rooms at different price points with different themes. The price is different, the food and accommodation are different, and the corresponding services are not the same. ”
But Zhang was confused, and he felt quite complicated. It's just that she has to pretend not to understand, after all, if someone knows about it, she is a daughter, and she is actually stunned in a village, it is a joke.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu also rushed up, listened to the person's introduction, and said to Zhang: "I have discussed it with your father-in-law." So, if you can, you can set a place with chickens and ducks, and by the way, we want to stay here for one night, preferably with everything. ”
The reason why he chose this way is only because Mr. Liu was from the countryside before, but he became an official after being admitted to fame, and now his son is an official again, so he no longer has the opportunity to experience rural life.
He wanted to go back to his hometown for a few days, but unfortunately, as long as he went back, first, there was almost nothing in the house, and everything had to be reprepared, and second, those people in the village were so enthusiastic that the house was crowded almost every day, and there was no private space at all.
At the beginning, Mr. Liu was still very happy, thinking that the villagers had not forgotten themselves. It's a pity that while chatting, they can turn around and turn to their son who is an official.
In order not to cause trouble to his son, Master Liu did not go back.
Nostalgia or something, in the end, it has changed its taste.
However, they were lucky that there were still houses with such a theme left. After giving two taels of silver, the Liu family successfully got a bunch of keys. There is a child in front of him who leads the way, saying that it is a winding place and it is easy to get lost.
Sure enough, after passing through a bamboo forest, around a fruit forest, and a large apricot forest, I arrived at this place known as "Danruoju".
Seeing that the little child who led the way was out of breath, Zhang thought of his child, and felt that he had come out to beg for a living at a young age, so he took a handful of copper coins from his purse and gave it to the child, and he didn't know that there were dozens of dollars.
The kid picked it up, thanked Zhang very politely, and then left in a hurry. Seeing this, Zhang's mood was a little better.
"Well, this yard is neat and clean, not bad, not bad." Seeing that all the Danruo plants around the house were planted, Master Liu and Mrs. Liu were very happy. If Dan is a symbol of many children, this is a good sign.
I hope that the Zhang family can give birth to more children and spread the branches for their Liu family.
"Dad, do you want to taste it, these Danruo are all edible." As he spoke, Zhang stepped forward to pick one and handed it to Master Liu. Just when he was queuing up to pay the money, the man said that the fruits around Danruoju can be picked casually.
However, the main family knows how many Danruo there are around the house, and they have to collect money on a case-by-case basis. However, the Liu family is not short of these.
Mrs. Liu took the fruit and let the maid behind her deal with it, and then she tasted it with Master Liu, it tasted delicious, the key was because it was picked by herself, it was a little more interesting, and she felt that the taste was better than what she usually ate.
Entering the courtyard, it is very warmly furnished, a typical rich farmhouse courtyard. Not only that, but there are also new aprons that have not been opened, as well as farm tools such as hoes, rakes, etc., that have never been used.
Seeing this, on a whim, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu took some farm tools and went out with a bamboo basket. Zhang knew that he was going to cook here at noon, so he ordered his subordinates to follow the second elder, and then he took his son and daughter to find someone to catch fish.
Everyone in the family likes to eat fish, so how can there be no fish for lunch at noon? And neither she nor her children have ever seen a fish from the lake live.
When Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu arrived at a fruit grove, they saw some weeds under the trees, so they began to hoe the weeds, and the posture was decent. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu smiled, unfolded her brand-new apron and tied it, and began to beat the fruit with a bamboo pole.
The fruits here are pears and apples, but they look very different because they are wrapped in strips of cloth.
"Old man, why do you say that these fruits are wrapped in strips of cloth, so that I can't even tell which is better." Wrapped, naturally you can't see the appearance directly.
"You, look at it, just pick up the big one. I guess, to prevent the birds from pecking. You see, the fruits near our house are not packaged, and none of them have been made a mess. ”
Mrs. Liu finally knocked down a big apple, and then she opened the cloth strip and saw that it was really a big and red apple inside. The color alone is much better than the ones sold outside. Then she cracked another pear.
This pear is a grafted Fengshui pear, which is big and delicious. When you bite into it, your mouth is full of sweet juice.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu picked a few more according to the number of people in the family.
On the other side, Zhang took the two children to the lake, and when it was their turn, the villager took a special net and caught a big carp in a few clicks. The carp kept struggling in the net, making a splash, and the two children applauded excitedly.
Because this fish weighed five or six pounds, neither the Zhang family nor the two children could hold it, and in the end, a child in the village volunteered to help, carried it in a wooden basin, and carried it to Danruoju with the two Zhangs.
Seeing this, Zhang had no choice but to promise to give him dozens of yuan as a running fee. When the boy heard this, his heart died.
Mr. Liu hasn't exercised for a long time, because there is really nothing to raise his interest, and as soon as he works today, he feels comfortable and not so lazy. Seeing that the time was almost up, the old couple went back to their lodgings with a basket of fruits.
Zhang has already hired a local to help with the fish in the kitchen and cook the dishes by the way. Seeing that the second elder was back, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the basket, washed and cut the fruit himself, and brought it out.
Both pears and apples are delicious and have received unanimous praise. Seeing that the children and the elderly love to eat, Zhang said: "In this case, let's buy some when we leave, I eat better than the ones sold outside." ”
"Do people sell it?" Mrs. Liu asked, her taste buds were getting more and more diluted, but today she was moistened by this apple and tasted fresh.
"I have already asked about the sale, and when the time comes, we can pick it ourselves, or let them pick it, and then we will weigh it and give it to the silver."
The noon meal is a typical peasant meal, a large stove with a pot on top and a firewood fire below. This stove is relatively wide, and you can put some dishes and chopsticks and the like. Looking at the fish and chicken stewed in the pot and some fresh vegetables, there are some nests pasted around the pot, and the family is very appetizing.
And the two children who usually have to be fed by people when they eat also sat down obediently, and they didn't need to be fed at all, and they surrounded the pot, thinking about when it would be good, and they had long wanted to taste it.
Now there are many such women in the village, who go to the shop at the door to spend money to learn the craft, and when there are many tourists, they help cook here to earn a little processing fee.
Eating the meals made with fresh ingredients, whether it is the second elder of the Liu family or the Zhang family, I have a hundred praises in my heart. It's a beautiful taste.
Dinner was much lighter, but, thinking that Master Liu was going to drink, Zhang went to the shop at the entrance of the village to buy some food made of longevity fruits, and unsurprisingly, won the love of the whole family again.
At night, covered with a newly dismantled quilt, listening to the insects outside, coupled with the excitement and fatigue during the day, I slept very well, and even the insomnia of more than half a year disappeared.
When he left the next day, the Zhang family bought ten catties of pears and ten catties of apples, all of which were happily beaten by the family themselves.
There are also some people who eat the chicken here that tastes so good, so they asked Chen Jixing's family to kill a few, saying that they wanted to take them home to do. Hearing that the other party said that his home was not far away, Chen Jixing sent someone to kill a few.
When Ye Feng took Shopkeeper Ye and Yao Wushuang to the door, Chen Jixing's family was busy with their feet not touching the ground, and even Mrs. Liu and Ye's maiden sister came over to help, helping to greet guests and collecting cashiers.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Ye and Yao Wushuang were not ordinary tourists, Ye Shi looked at Ye Feng with an inquiring eye, and Ye Feng took the initiative to say: "Sister, brother-in-law, this is my father, the father I just found, this is my second mother." ”
Hearing this, Ye and Chen Jixing were taken aback, thinking that this was some guest from the county, but it turned out to be Ye Feng's father.
Also, what the hell is Erniang?
Ye and Chen Jixing hurriedly put down the work at hand, led Shopkeeper Ye and Yao Wushuang to the glass room, and said, "Hey, you kid, why didn't you say it earlier, when did it happen." According to me, you kid is too thoughtful, and you don't think we can help with such a big thing......"
As he spoke, Ye cried.
There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Although Chen Jixing was a little calmer, and he was not as emotional as Ye's, he still took Ye's shopkeeper's hand and said, "Hey, I finally found you, this kid has suffered a lot to find you." ”
After saying that, I don't know what to say.
Chen Jixing naturally knew that these two families were the families that Ye Feng had been living in before, and when he saw Ye's moved crying, he felt very uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, when Ye Feng was most vulnerable, it was the Ye couple who helped Ye Feng, not his own father.
After saying some words of thanks, the shopkeeper Ye said: "You are my benefactors, speaking of which, I am doing things in Zhenbao Zhai." If you come to the city to find me in the future, I will not refrain if I can help. ”
Yao Wushuang drank tea, ate exquisite pastries, and lay lazily on the sofa, and suddenly felt that the shopkeeper Ye was a little exaggerated. With such conditions as this family, can Ye Feng still endure hardship? Just this tea, just this dim sum, people in the city may not be able to eat it every day.
Besides, what is this chair made of, and how is it so comfortable?
She really wants a handful, too.
While serving Yao Wushuang snacks and tea, Ye Shi observed, and saw that Yao Wushuang was not sad at all, and he was too lazy to pretend, so he felt a little uncomfortable. Such a second mother, hey, it's not easy to get along with.
It's just that Ye Feng is so old, and the shopkeeper Ye is his father, and she can't say anything as a sister.
Fortunately, since last year, Ye Feng has been financially independent from them, and each earns his own money. At the time, they were unwilling, but now it seems that they have saved a lot of trouble.
Even if the shopkeeper Ye can't, it's hard to guarantee that this Erniang, who only knows how to eat and drink, won't trouble them. And Erniang or something, isn't she a stepmother?
Seeing Yao Wushuang's sweet eating, Ye Shi turned around and went out, and when he came back, he brought a plate of platters made of various fruits. These fruits were only picked this morning, and they are fresh.
When Yao Wushuang saw it, he had a great appetite and kept stuffing it into his mouth. Whether it is apples or pears, or large plums that can't be bought outside, Yao Wushuang is full of praise for eating.
When Ye Shi saw it, he suddenly had an idea, took Yao Wushuang's hand and asked quietly: "Sister, it's not that I raised it, and I don't mean anything else, I really don't know how to call it, it's just that you have a body?" ”
Ye Shi knew in his heart that she and Ye Feng were commensurate with sister and brother, and they could not be called Yao Wushuang's sister according to their seniority. However, why should you surrender your identity for no reason and call each other an elder?
And Yao Wushuang's appearance is really unbearable, and it shouldn't be like this if he likes to eat, after all, he is just a guest. And Yao Wushuang is dressed extraordinary, just now the shopkeeper Ye claimed to be from Zhenbao Zhai, so there is only one explanation, that is, this Yao Wushuang is estimated to be pregnant.
Yao Wushuang was also stunned when he heard this, and he didn't care about analyzing the meaning of Ye's words, but retracted his hand, touched his lower abdomen and said, "What you said is true?" ”
No matter what age she is, she won't call Ye her sister. And the word sister is not necessarily a good name, just look at her cousin.
Hearing this, Ye said, "I guessed too." When we women have a body, we naturally have a great appetite and love to eat everything we see. You...... How long has it been since I changed my clothes? ”
Yao Wushuang paused, and only after half a sound did he say happily: "It is estimated that there is really one, counting it, I have been ten days." ”
When Ye Shi heard this, he knew in his heart that this was most likely there. Poor Ye Feng has just found his father, and his stepmother has it. No matter what you have to say, the days to come......
Ye hurriedly blessed Yao Wushuang with a few words.
Yao Wushuang saw that Ye's attitude was good, and he had no conflict of interest with her, so he couldn't beat him, so his attitude towards Ye's was better.
It's just that Ye Feng and a few men were chatting on the other side, but they didn't know this. Looking at Ye Feng, they seemed to be chatting happily, and Ye's heart was very complicated.
Dinner was naturally eaten at Ye's house. In order to entertain these two special guests, Ye and Chen Wumei both used their housekeeping skills, and made more than ten dishes alone, not counting those few pots of good wine and five or six dishes made with longevity fruits.
Yao Wushuang ate very happily, these dishes are forgotten, anyway, they are either chicken or fish, they are nothing, except for freshness, they are no different from those in the city.
It's just that these five or six dishes made with longevity fruit are very unusual, she has eaten those big restaurants in the city, and the taste is just like that, but this Ye's cooking is much better than that.
Taste aside, judging from the performance of several children in the family, the family often eats it. That's how rich this family is.
Moreover, she had heard that Ye Feng also had his own industry. In this way, it saves a lot of trouble, at least she will not fight with her children for family property. Now, the group of people living in the family, she is really too lazy to deal with it.
At the dinner table, Ye Feng introduced Shopkeeper Ye and Yao Wuliang, Chen Wumei and Qianyu Qianyan. Seeing the two girls, Yao Wushuang reluctantly took off the jewelry he was carrying, and gave one to Qianyan and Qianyu.
As for Chen Wumei, at first glance, she was dressed as a married girl, and she didn't have to think about it, so she ignored it directly.
After the meal, Chen Jixing sent the three of them far away, and as soon as they went home, they listened to Ye and Chen Wumei sigh there. Chen Wumei said: "This treasure is the best jewelry shop in the city, and Ye Feng, the second mother, is also a powerful one." ”
Ye said: "Isn't it, when I saw her today, I felt that she was a difficult person to get along with." It's just that Ye Feng has been following behind them, I don't want to ask, and I don't know what happened to Ye Feng's mother-in-law. ”
"Hey, I had a difficult birth when I gave birth to Ye Feng." Chen Jixing replied, "Don't worry, don't you know Ye Feng, this kid, no matter how powerful his second mother is, it is estimated that he will not be able to hurt Ye Feng." And I just heard what Ye Feng meant, but it seems that I want to build a house in the village, and I don't want to live in the city. ”
"Hey, it's not a matter of living here, my grandparents are in the city, and my father is also in the city, what do you say he lives here! However, it's okay like this, most of his second mother has a body, and when he has his own child, he probably won't care where Ye Feng lives. ”
Sighed again, and then dispersed.
There's a lot more to do with them, and the business has been so good lately.
