Immediately, Ye asked Ye Feng some detailed questions, and Ye Feng patiently answered them one by one.

After discussing for a while, Chen Jixing, who doesn't like to talk much, said: "After thinking about it, I think this method is feasible and not very difficult." Why don't we give it a try? If we really do, we can also save some hard-earned money. If not, there is nothing to lose. ”

If Ye Feng wanted to talk about Chen Jixing's advantages, he really didn't know what to say. However, although it is relatively wooden and its advantages are lackluster, there is nothing to say about the Ye family, and there is no machismo problem, everything in this family is discussed.

This alone made Ye Feng look at Chen Jixing with admiration.

Seeing that Ye Feng and Chen Jixing both felt that it was okay, as if they had made a lot of determination, Ye Shi said: "Okay!" Since everyone thinks it's possible, I want to try it too. After speaking, he turned to Ye Feng again, "So, what do we need to do first?" ”

Ye Feng suddenly thought of another question, so he asked Chen Jixing and Ye: "Sister, brother-in-law, first of all, we have to determine the candidates, which means that we need to find a few good cooks in the village or relatives." It is best to be clean, diligent, and familiar with the dishes of the table. If you don't have it, you can't do it, if you find the wrong person, you can't do it. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jixing nodded, and then said: "I agree with this, it's over if you choose the wrong person." However, I recommend giving preference to the one that can cook a lot of dishes with one person. Otherwise, there are too many people, even if they do well, even if they make money, they won't be able to share a few dollars. ”

In this regard, Ye Feng and Ye Shi agreed.

Especially Ye Feng, he suddenly felt that Chen Jixing seemed to have a talent for doing business. He just said a little, and Chen Jixing quickly knew the secret.

"What else?"

"There is also the fact that we need to prepare a complete set of kitchen utensils, from pots and pans to chopsticks, spoons and cutting boards. I have two choices here, one is that our family has bought all of them ourselves, and when the time comes, we will share a little more. Second, among these people who were found, everyone pooled their money to buy them, and the money they received from the banquet was also divided equally. How do you choose? ”

After Ye Feng finished speaking, the two began to calculate, and after thinking about it, both agreed to find someone first, and then pool the money together to buy the kitchen utensils needed for the banquet.

Ye Feng knew that the two of them wanted to spread the risk to the greatest extent. Then there is the need to consider the feelings of several other people, after all, when it comes to dividing the silver, it is better to divide it evenly.

After speaking, the three of them discussed again and carefully screened the people in the village who were suitable to join the village kitchen team. After the discussion, the two got up and prepared to go to the village to call people over for a "meeting".

Before Ye Feng could react, the two of them had already walked into the courtyard. Seeing this, Ye Feng had no choice but to say loudly: "Sister, brother-in-law, it is best to choose one of the people you are looking for, and it is best to have an ox cart at home, so that it is also convenient to transport all the items you need." ”

Ye Shi finally replied, "Eh, I know", and disappeared.

It seems that both men are action-oriented.

After a while, the hall of Chen Jixing's house suddenly became lively.

In addition to Ye Feng's familiar big cow mother, Chen Qianliang's mother Zhao, there is also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old guy who Ye Feng only knows called Qianshan.

Da Niu Ma is Ye's best friend and best friend, the two families live closely, and there is an ox cart at home, so Ye Feng is very familiar, and there is naturally no problem in choosing her.

Because Zhao is a widow, she is very simple, but because her son Qianliang often fights pigweed with Ye Feng Qianyan, he also comes to Ye's house from time to time to help take care of it, and cooks good dishes, and according to Ye, he also has an ancestral craft, so it is not surprising to choose her.

It's this Chen Qianshan, who is a generation later than Ye Feng according to his generation, and Ye Feng doesn't know what to call it, and it's very rare on weekdays. Except for knowing that he has many brothers in the family, and his mother seems to be surnamed Liu, I don't know anything else.

Therefore, I called him at this moment and I don't know why.

Chen Jixing and Ye Shi beckoned everyone to sit down on the bamboo chair and chatted with everyone, while Ye Feng and Qianyan hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil boiling water, still brewing mint tea, and brought it out after a while.

The person who came was a guest, Ye Feng's family had just drunk tea, so they only served tea to these people. Thinking that these cups would be shared, Ye Feng made up his mind in his heart, and took advantage of this time to go into the city to buy cooking utensils and buy a few more cups by the way.

I just don't know if people sell it alone.

Chen Qianshan was a little embarrassed to take the tea, after all, he was a generation lower than Ye Feng according to his seniority. I was a little surprised in my heart, and felt that this thing was a little incredible.

Didn't the people in the village say that Chen Jixing's family was one of the best poor households, why did they even drink tea now.

Da Niu's mother and Zhao took it generously, took a sip of tea, and were full of praise: "Well, it's good, I love to drink." It's just that what kind of tea is this, it smells a different fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed. ”

These people never drink tea at home, let alone use teapots.

When you are thirsty, you just use a bowl of water from a well to drink. At this moment, I took the teacup, and the hot boiling water made everyone warm up instantly. I think it's good for this taste. This made Ye Feng more confident to sell some herbal tea after the beginning of spring.

Seeing that everyone had drunk tea, Ye Feng said, "Sister, brother-in-law, are these people there?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Shi and Chen Jixing nodded. Originally, they wanted to call one or two people together, but when Ye thought that there were more people and less money, and he still had his own plans in his heart, he only called these three people.

Ye Feng said: "Since there are only a few of them, then everyone will discuss and discuss, do you think this idea is feasible?" If everyone agrees, we will set up a team of village cooks, and when they are ready, we will start buying cooking utensils to make the table. ”

In fact, Ye Feng really wanted to ask why that Chen Qianshan was also called, after all, although this guy looked spirited, he didn't look like a person who could cook.

Hearing this, Da Niu's mother immediately said: "Why not! As soon as Qianyan said that her mother said it, I immediately agreed, except for the fact that the Zhao family sister and I can't build a stove and chop wood, the rest can be. If you want to say that everyone has tasted the dishes we have cooked, I don't boast, I think that as long as these ten miles and eight towns are not the banquet of the rich and noble, we can take over this business. ”

This is a good statement, Ye Feng felt that there was no exaggeration at all.

Da Niu's mother's words gave everyone confidence, and Zhao's identity made her very cautious in her words and deeds, and she usually didn't take the initiative to speak on weekdays.

But perhaps it was this atmosphere that encouraged her, and she only heard her say: "Everyone knows that there are not many people in my family, just two people with me. On weekdays, I feel idle after finishing my housework, but if this business can be successful, I will definitely do my best to do it well. You also know that Qianliang's child is like a day by day, because the family is poor, and no one has been willing to marry in the past few years. I really want to join this township and the village kitchen team, and I will definitely work hard. ”

After listening to Zhao's words, Ye Feng felt that Ye's vision of seeing people was really good. Zhao loves to be clean, dressed plainly, and wants to earn some money to talk about his son's family affairs, so he will naturally work wholeheartedly, and will never cheat and cheat.

As for the big cow mother, it is even more powerful, not only is it refreshing and spicy, few people dare to provoke it, and more importantly, there is an ox cart at home. It can be said that the big cow mother looks at how suitable.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their attitudes, Chen Qianshan said: "I have to leave all the heavy and dirty work to me, and I am the best at building a stove and chopping firewood." I'm a junior, and I have the strength, and when the time comes, everyone just asks. ”

This sounds a bit deliberate, as if everyone is afraid that everyone will ignore his role.

Only then did Ye Feng understand the reason why the Ye family came to him.

But isn't it, after discussing for a long time, I actually forgot about building a stove to chop wood and carry water. Although Chen Jixing has strength, he may not be able to build a stove. Therefore, no matter how well the theory is said, it still needs to be tested by practice in the end.

With this beginning, everyone's enthusiasm has been stimulated, and it is related to making money, and they have offered suggestions and suggestions. You talk to me and discuss all kinds of things.

Not to mention, the number of these people is powerful, and after a while, everyone discussed a whole set of processes, and even Ye Feng sighed a little, these people are all sincere.

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, he thought about the situation of his mother's family again, and cheered himself up several times in his heart, Ye Shi said: "Everyone, I remembered it, we still lack a person to make longevity noodles, and we are not good at this." ”

Hearing this, Da Niu's mother patted her knee and said, "No, I forgot about this, let me think about it, who in our village will do this." ”

As a result, several people thought about it for a long time, but they didn't have a suitable candidate. At most, the villagers make hand-rolled noodles and knife-cut noodles, but they really don't know how to make shou noodles.

For a while, some fell into silence, this longevity is a necessary item for longevity, and it is indispensable.

It was Ye Shi, who seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "I have a candidate, but I don't know if everyone is willing?" ”

Zhao said: "Tell me, if you really have this ability, we will invite him to join us." ”

Da Niu's mother also agreed.

Ye naturally hurriedly recommended his own sister-in-law, Ye Ermei. After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone expectantly.

After Ye's marriage, Ye's second sister quickly took over Ye's position, washing and cooking, taking care of her sister, working in the fields, and being well-known for her virtuousness.

Although the age has long reached the age when it is time to say kiss, there is no market, there is no way, the family is poor, not to mention the dowry or anything, if you get married, you will have such a mother's family, and people are afraid that Ye Ermei will help her mother's family infinitely.

Hearing this, Da Niu's mother took the lead and said, "I think it's okay, I know your sister, although she is a girl's family, but she is a man who can do anything." ”

Zhao and Chen Qianshan naturally had no objections, after all, this was Ye's sister-in-law, and Ye had the intention to help, and this idea was put forward by others, so one more person would be one more.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to go home tomorrow to tell the second sister, she would definitely be happy.

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, and the interest was quite high, and it was just idle chatter to talk about it any longer, Ye Feng said: "Since everyone has reached an agreement and agrees with the establishment of this village kitchen, then, I still have three points to add." ”

Everyone naturally knew that this idea was originally proposed by Ye Feng, so they all cared about Ye Feng's point of view.

"First, we need to prepare kitchen utensils such as pots and pans in advance. I suggest that each of you give a little silver, and when you have all the money, you can go to the city and buy it as soon as possible. This should be done as soon as possible, after all, we must be ready to take over at any time. ”

"Second, everyone thinks that we need to give our team a name so that other people can quickly find us and remember us."

"As for the third, since everyone has decided to do it, let's go to our relatives and friends in other villages to publicize it, well, it's to help and say, let everyone know about our existence."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, everyone felt that Ye Feng's words were very pertinent.

Among them, the third one is the best, anyway, almost everyone has relatives and friends in other villages, just take the time to look for it.

It's just that the first one needs to be paid, and I'm a little depressed, and I haven't made money yet, so I have to pay first.

However, several people have calculated it in their minds, but it is just kitchen utensils, plus Ye's sister-in-law, there are six people in total, and it will not be much if it is evenly distributed, and it will definitely not exceed one or two pieces of silver.

But the second one, that's really a bit harder. Everyone is illiterate, and it is difficult to name children, which makes it even harder to name your own team.

As a result, the discussion was fruitless for a long time. But the big cow's mother listened to the ducks in the yard of Chen Jixing's house, and said with a smile: "We croppers pay attention to the truth, according to me, there is no need to call that bells and whistles." Even if it does, people may not remember it. Otherwise, how about we call it Duck Duck Country Kitchen? ”

As soon as Da Niu's mother finished speaking, several people present agreed except for Ye Feng. Seeing that everyone liked it, Da Niu's mother even took the lead in applauding, Ye Feng didn't want to say anything, and swallowed the name he had thought of into his stomach.

In this way, Chenjia Village and even the first village kitchen in this country were established. It's just that the name is really full of local flavor, and it is so earthy.

Forget it, the Duck Duck Country Kitchen is the Duck Duck Country Kitchen, and the name is really easy to remember.

At this time, Ye Feng thought of another thing, so he said directly: "Generally speaking, there are two kinds of banquets, if the host family lets us choose by ourselves, I suggest choosing all-inclusive." This means that we went to the Lord's house to receive the money and went to the market to buy all the ingredients we needed. ”

As soon as Ye Feng said it, Da Niu's mother reacted, and the whole package was naturally more profitable. She is naturally happy to make money.

After a little more discussion, until it was time to make lunch, the group reluctantly dispersed. Da Niu's mother has four big men in the family who need to be served, and she can't leave her, and if she doesn't go back, it is estimated that she will come to the door in a while.

According to what Ye Feng said, after lunch, they went to relatives and friends in other villages, helped with publicity, and promised to give a discount if there was a happy event at home.

The Zhao family is the one in charge of the family, so naturally there is no need to discuss with anyone, but just talk to his son. Da Niu Ma has always been spicy, she is an idea, and there is money to earn, Da Niu Dad is naturally willing.

However, Chen Qianshan's family is a little complicated.

What is even more annoying than Da Niu's family is that he has four brothers in his family, including him, and he is the third. What's even more exaggerated is that the four brothers are no more than a year apart from each other. In other words, his eldest brother is now twenty years old, and his second brother is almost nineteen, and neither of them has been able to settle on a marriage, so the family is very anxious.

Now Chen Qianshan said that he wanted to participate in the village kitchen, and the family agreed, but the family had a surprisingly unanimous opinion on the matter of paying money to buy kitchen utensils in advance, and they would never pay a penny out.

This made Chen Qianshan extremely distressed. If you don't pay for kitchen utensils, will the big cow mom kick herself out?

On the other side, after having lunch in a hurry, Ye took a chicken and a duck and walked towards his mother's house alone. Walking on this path, which was once extremely familiar but now a little unfamiliar, Ye's heart was in a trance.

How many years have passed?

Yes, since I got married, I haven't been back to my parents' house.

People say that they are more timid in their hometowns, and this is not true at all. Fortunately along the way, as soon as he reached the entrance of the village, Ye involuntarily slowed down.

I wonder what the situation will be at home now?

When she got home, Ye Shi saw that the house was even more dilapidated than when she left, and the thatch was still stuck together.

The silence at home made her a little uneasy.

was about to call her second sister, but she saw a thin woman coming back with water on her shoulder. My second sister is thirteen years old, but no one has come to propose marriage yet, hey, it's all because the family is poor.

These two buckets of water don't look light, Ye Ermei's shoulders don't have much meat, which makes her feel painful, so when she picks them, she puts her hand on her shoulder, and moves them from time to time to alleviate the pain.

Seeing this, Ye hurriedly stepped forward and put the tied chickens and ducks in the yard and asked her to put down the bucket.

Seeing Ye go home, Ye Ermei was very surprised. Although it is not far away, her eldest sister has never been back. Seeing that she brought back a chicken and a duck, she asked with some trepidation: "Sister, does this chicken and duck brother-in-law know?" ”

"That's what he asked me to take, it's fine."

Ye waved his hand, picked up the burden lightly, and walked towards the stove room. She is used to doing these jobs, and she has long had a cocoon on her shoulders, and she is no longer afraid of pain.

Seeing this, Ye Ermei hurriedly untied the hemp rope on the chicken and duck's feet and put them in her backyard.

"What about my parents and sisters?"

Pouring water into the tank, Ye saw that there was no one in the family, so he asked.

"My father and mother took the third and fourth sisters up the mountain to fetch firewood, and took advantage of the current slack to get some firewood in the backyard in winter. The fifth sister went to the neighbor's house to play. ”

The Ye family has no man except for Father Ye, and even girls have to follow him to collect firewood, which makes people sad to think about.

Ye didn't want to wait any longer, after all, cooking was more important. In Ye Feng's words, time is silver. If only they could receive the deal one day earlier, they would have received the money one day earlier. According to Ye Feng's plan, several members went to other villages to publicize this afternoon, so she naturally couldn't hold back.

After thinking about it, Ye Shi pulled Ye Ermei and said, "My sister and your brother-in-law have discussed, plus a few neighbors, we are going to take over the banquet in Shili and Eight Townships." Don't you know how to make longevity noodles, and I'll call you in advance when there is a birthday banquet in the future, and you can make some money. On weekdays, when you have the opportunity, try it out more and practice your craft. By the way, you will slaughter that chicken in a while, and make it for your father and sister to eat at night. Keep that duck, it's laying eggs now, my family is feeding it well, that duck ......"

Speaking of these things, Ye felt that he couldn't finish talking about it for a few days and nights, so he picked up the main thing and said it.

Hearing these words, Ye Ermei was already in tears.

A few years ago, the village said that the Ye family had suffered the white eyes of his father and grandparents before he got married, and he hated his family, otherwise he would not have returned to his parents' house after marrying for a few years.

Now, although the grandparents have passed away, the Ye family not only came back, but also gave himself such an opportunity, which shows that the Ye family still remembers his mother's family.

"Sister, I will, I'll practice when I have the chance. Last month, Uncle Ye 5th birthday was 60 years old, and I made the longevity noodles. Ye Ermei said excitedly.

After thinking about it, Ye took out another two hundred yuan, handed it to Ye Ermei, and held her hand tightly: "You are not small, you can save some of your own body, and it is also useful in case of emergency." My sister can't give you much, and when I earn money later, my sister will give it to you. ”

It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, which is very true in the Ye family. Growing up so big, Second Sister Ye had never received so much money, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and cried both moved and sad.

No matter how tired she is, she is not afraid, what she is afraid of is indifference.

This family doesn't talk much every day, and everyone seems to have their own thoughts, but they don't want others to know. As a result, everyone became accustomed to silence.

In the past, when the Ye family was not married, she was the second in the end, so many things were handled by the Ye family. As soon as the Ye family left, she knew how hard the Ye family had lived in those years.

The Ye family was in a hurry to go home, and the second sister Ye didn't dare to keep it, because she knew that the Ye family still had a lot to do, and she didn't know anything about Chen Jixing's personality.

Sent Ye Shi far away, Ye Ermei's eyes were full of reluctance, so she wiped her tears and went home.

After thinking about it, she hid the money that Ye gave her, and then began to kill chickens. Some men don't dare to do these things, but she is very familiar with them.

Second Sister Ye quickly went into the stove room to boil water, poured it into a wooden bucket and cooled it. He stuck the chicken to death again, pinned the chicken's neck, and stabbed it several times to the neck.

After putting the blood in the bowl, the chicken was thrown into the bucket and soaked.

After a while, when he was almost soaked, he plucked the feathers clean, and made a fire in the yard, and put the plucked chickens on top of it to burn the fluff clean.

After doing this, I thought about it, and I still didn't go to the river to wash, because there were many people there, and I might get into some unpleasant things. Therefore, still in the yard, the chickens were carefully dissected, and the internal organs were taken out and washed one by one.

These offal smell very fishy, but you only need to wash them and stir-fry the red peppers and celery soaked in the jar to keep them fragrant.

In the evening, when Father Ye came home with a few women, Second Sister Ye had already fed the pigs, finished all the housework, and made dinner.

She kept half of the chicken, salted it and put it in a clay pot.

Although the weather is cool now, it will not change its taste, but it is estimated that it will be left for several days before eating. As for the other half of the chicken, she chopped it directly and stir-fried it with green peppers.

Fortunately, the Ye family's chickens are extremely fat, even if it is half a chicken, it has several catties. In addition, Ye Ermei also added some potatoes when she was frying, so she made a big pot full of them.

Ye Sanmei and Ye Simei were tired and half dead, and they felt that their shoulders were strangled and painful, and it was estimated that they were either swollen or broken. The two of them were originally a little unhappy, after all, who let the girl do this.

But as soon as I got home, I smelled the smell of meat, and I was looking forward to it.

When they knew that this was brought by the Ye family, Father Ye and Mrs. Ye were a little unnatural, but a few children didn't care about these and ate happily.

When he heard about Ye's plan, he naturally agreed.

After another two days, everyone gathered again according to the previous agreement, and prepared to go to the city to buy kitchen utensils and other necessary items.

Ye Feng saw that Chen Qianshan was a little uneasy, so he quietly asked him the reason.

Chen Qianshan didn't hide it, and told his troubles. He was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that everyone would not want him because of this.

Ye Feng felt that it was nothing, since he had decided to do it, there was no reason why he would not unite before he started, and after discussing with everyone, it was decided that everyone would come out of the money first, and the money he earned would be deducted from his dividends later.

This time Chen Qianshan was happy, and he gave it to a few people, and promised that he would do a good job.

A few people went to the bazaar, which specializes in kitchen utensils, and bought pots and pans, steamers, and some small plates.

At Ye Feng's suggestion, Ye quietly went to the pharmacy to buy some star anise, fennel and the like.

Originally, Ye Feng thought that everyone knew about it, but when he asked last night, he realized that these things were all medicinal herbs and were not used as seasonings, so he popularized some common sense to the husband and wife, which made Ye immediately want to try it.

She is very attentive to cooking.

In the end, Ye Feng asked Ye Shi to buy some dried chili peppers, but Da Niu's mother said happily: "You don't need to buy this, I have more at home." When the time comes, just come to my house and pick it up, no money. ”

Ye Feng then remembered that there were indeed a lot of dried chili peppers hanging on the walls of Da Niu's mother's house.

Chen Qianshan was worried about what he couldn't help, because he saw that Ye Feng said that he needed dried chili peppers, so he patted his chest and said, "I also have a lot of this at home, and I can also bring some here." ”

This was also Ye Feng's temporary decision, because he asked a few people, and several of them were sure that this dried chili pepper was used to enhance the flavor, and no one in the country had ever seen the spicy and spicy seeds that Ye Feng said.

Ye Feng was happy for a while, this oil and spicy seed is a powerful weapon to enhance the flavor, with it, the cold dishes will immediately add a lot of color.

When they returned home, everyone counted the purchased kitchenware and other items, discussed them one by one, and found that they had all purchased, and then they began to count the silver.

At the beginning, everyone was apprehensive when they saw a bunch of things, but as soon as they were evenly divided, each person was only 350 yuan.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Ye Ermei's share, it was naturally Ye's out. And Chen Qianshan's is owed first, and then deducted from it when he has income.

At this point, the Yaya Township Kitchen was officially established, and the kitchenware and everything were purchased in place, waiting for the business to come to the door.
