After getting Chen Jitang's permission, after going home, Chen Jixing drank a few sips of water, and then told him what had just happened.

Hearing this, Ye Shi said with some joy: "Well, if you want to say that this time this time this thing is really good. Chen Jitang is a good person, and he has raised pigs for so many years, so he thinks he is an experienced person. It's just the village chief......"

Chen Jixing understood in his heart that what Ye wanted to say was why the village chief did not recommend his relatives or anything. And they are doing it, vaguely as if they are doing the best of both worlds.

can not only fulfill Chen Jitang, but also enrich his own money bag.

To be honest, he was also a little surprised before, thinking that this was not like the style of the village chief at all. But now he suddenly thought of something, thought about it and said: "I remembered, Chen Jitang's mother had been the village chief for a while, do you think it would be because of this reason?" ”

Hearing this, the Ye family looked like this.

But she didn't care, as long as someone came to work anyway. Yin smiled and said: "No matter what the reason, he did us a great favor this time, and it is worth you to give him a pig." It's just that you can't do that in the future. There are dozens of pigs in total, and we provide food and everything. I haven't seen any money yet, but I've promised five pigs first. ”

It's true, it's very important to find the right person to do it, after all, in essence, it's pure investment. In addition to natural and man-made disasters, it is almost a sure bet.

The pigsty was repaired, the people were found, and now the most scarce thing was the piglets and food. It's easy to get food, just go to the town or the city and buy some and come back. In addition, this year's land is their own, and the family has hoarded a lot of grain.

Especially corn and sorghum, Ye Feng can't wait to feed all of them to pigs.

Such coarse grains, to be honest, the most uncomfortable thing after eating it is not the throat, but the chrysanthemum. The throat is just a little scratchy when eating, but the chrysanthemum is really guilty. The taste can only be experienced by those who have eaten sorghum noodles.

Hearing this, Ye said: "It's inconvenient for me to run with me, it's better to do this, you pull Chen Jitang together, and start buying piglets tomorrow." He knows a lot of people, and he wants to buy good ones. ”

I have to say that Yip's advice is very good.

Although Chen Jitang is not so conspicuous in the village, and even a little obscure, he does know many people who raise pigs and chickens. These people, in a sense, can be regarded as a circle, and they know in their hearts whose pigs are good and whose chickens lay more eggs.

If he had followed, he would have been able to buy some good quality piglets.

Just do it.

Early the next morning, Chen Jixing found Chen Jitang and said sincerely: "Brother, now that the pigsty has been repaired and the house is ready, the most important thing is to buy piglets." Speaking of which, I have to help me with this matter, brother, to help me refer to the details. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jitang just excused himself slightly, and set off with Chen Jixing. Just as Ye thought, anyway, he will be responsible for raising this pig in the future, and if he chooses it well, he will save a lot of things in the future.

No one wants to raise pigs that are not well fed.

In line with this idea, he took Chen Jixing to several villages one after another, and it took six days to read countless pigs, so that Chen Jixing's family needed to buy all the fifty piglets.

Chen Jitang is also a self-motivated, since he bought ten piglets on the first day, he officially moved over and lived in the room specially prepared for him. After thinking about it, he felt that he was not so hypocritical, so he lived directly in the innermost room.

On the other hand, Ye is also enthusiastic, and often sends some food over, which saves Chen Jitang a lot of things. Anyway, her favorite things now are sleeping and cooking, and it's a big deal to do more every time.

And for Chen Jitang, this is also the best thing. He really didn't have time to cook, and most importantly, he was too lazy to cook.

Taking advantage of the lack of cooking work, Chen Jixing began to investigate where there was land for sale in nearby villages. He bought fifty acres, but it was a lot. As a result, he ran back and forth for more than ten days, and he was really looking for him.

There are outdoor households in Lijia Village, surnamed Zhou, and the people in the village like to call the head of the house as Zhou Yuanwai. To say that the Zhou family has moved to Lijia Village for some years, no, they all have grandchildren, and they can be regarded as prosperous descendants.

The Zhou family spent three generations accumulating a certain amount of wealth, and finally provided a scholar. Just some time ago, Zhou Tianao, the grandson of the Zhou family, won the move, and he was still in the top three, and it is said that he is very likely to hit the next champion.

Seeing this, the Zhou family did not let him come back, but invited a famous teacher to tutor him in the capital, waiting for the next time to soar into the sky.

Zhou Yuanwai thought about it, didn't he have so many dreams of his family just to move to the capital? And the grandson is alone in the capital, he is somewhat uneasy, after so many years, he can see that now in this world, he still has to be an official.

The resources of the capital are good, although it looks like some are not doing their jobs, playing chess today, and holding a poetry meeting tomorrow. However, for people like them, these are just a platform and an opportunity, not only to make friends with more powerful people, but also to be appreciated if they are really knowledgeable.

So, Zhou Yuanwai suggested selling the land and moving his family to the capital.

Naturally, this suggestion received strong support from the whole family. Their idea is very simple, if they can move to the capital, their Zhou family will be regarded as people in the capital in the future, and it will be decent to say.

To say that Lijia Village is comfortable to live in, but it is not as good as in the city.

This week, the family bought a total of more than 200 acres of land in a nearby village, and sold it for several months, but there is still no one to take over the last 70 acres of land. It's no wonder that there are really not many people who buy land in these ten miles and eight towns.

The other rich people have either bought enough, or they do not plan to stay here for a long time, and the common people are buying a few acres and acres, so it is already rare to be able to sell more than 100 acres of land.

Therefore, when he heard that Chen Jixing was going to buy fifty acres in one go, Zhou Yuanwai was overjoyed, and greeted Chen Jixing to his home very enthusiastically, and he was watching and making tea, which made Chen Jixing very uncomfortable.

It doesn't feel like I'm here to buy land, but like I'm visiting relatives.

Seeing that Chen Jixing was a little squirming, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't intervene as a woman, but, Xianggong, you hurry up and get down to business." They may have other things to do. ”

Mrs. Zhou was really anxious to sell all these lands so that she could go to Beijing as soon as possible. Zhou Aotian said in the letter all kinds of prosperity in the capital, and she had long wanted to see it. Staying in this poor country, she is really a little tired.

Therefore, seeing that Zhou Yuanwai only greeted Chen Jixing, but did not talk about business, she was a little anxious. This is the biggest customer these days, and if it can't be negotiated, I don't know how long it will take.

Hearing this, several sons and daughters-in-law collectively praised Mrs. Zhou in their hearts behind the curtain, feeling that she had listened to the public opinion this time and was fighting for their interests. As the relatives of the master of the lifting man or even the master of Jinshi, they also want to go to the capital as soon as possible to see and learn.

After glancing at Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Yuanwai said: "Brother Chen Xian, if you want to say that my family's land is first-class, but the price you said is too little." You also know that if I wasn't in a hurry to go to Beijing, I would be reluctant to sell this land. ”

Thinking of the price that Ye Shi and Ye Feng had negotiated with him, Chen Jixing said: "Outside of Zhou Yuan, it's not that I am lowering the price, it's just that this is the market in these ten miles and eight towns, and I can only get this price." If you want, I will ask for all your seventy acres of land, so it is sincere enough, right? ”

In normal times, the land of Zhou Yuanwai's family would have been sold for eight taels of silver per mu. Just because the soil is fertile and connected, everything is excellent. However, when Chen Jixing explained the situation, Ye Feng asked him to bite six taels and one mu without letting go.

Anyway, the other party is in a hurry to sell, and it has been selling for several months, so he must be a little tired. In this case, if you take it down, you will earn it. Even if you miss it, there is still land around here.

As long as you have silver, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy it.

I thought of what Ye Feng said if I couldn't talk, I would pretend to get up and prepare to leave.

Chen Jixing said: "I have discussed with my family for a long time, and I can only come up with this price." Your land is good, but it's too far away from my house, and if I wasn't in a hurry to grow some food, I wouldn't have traveled so far to buy it. As I said earlier, my family is going to raise dozens of pigs, and they need food very much. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked like he was leaving.

Originally, when Mrs. Zhou heard Chen Jixing say that she wanted to buy them all, she was happy in her heart and could finally leave.

In order to leave as soon as possible, she had already come up with countless ideas, for example, if the land is not sold, it will be placed here, and people will help collect the rent; Or, sell the land cheaply and leave as soon as possible.

However, the owner seems to be following the matter, and he is unwilling to live or die, so he has to sell it at the price he sets before he is willing to move out.

In a fit of anger, Mrs. Zhou almost wanted to leave with her son and daughter-in-law first, but this was just a thought, but she didn't dare to do so.

Now a big buyer finally came, and he wanted to buy all the land at once, but it was just two taels of silver and one acre. Speaking of which, the Zhou family has a lot of money, and they have bought a lot of grain farms in various places over the years, and they have earned a lot, and they don't care about this silver at all.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't stop Chen Jixing, but she could do it outside Zhou, so she pinched him fiercely, and several people behind the curtain sweated. They were worried that the two of them would suddenly quarrel, because with Zhou Yuanwai's temper, they would have had a seizure a long time ago.

At the same time, he was worried that Chen Jixing would really leave and stop buying land.

In this way, the time for them to go to Beijing will be pushed back again.

Xu was pinched by Mrs. Zhou to sober up, Xu is rare to meet Chen Jixing to ask for it all at once, in short, Zhou Yuanwai's expression was very regretful, but he still said: "Since this is the case, six taels will be six taels." However, the silver must be paid within this day, and the silver must be cashed. Expiration does not wait. ”

Hearing that Zhou Yuanwai actually agreed, Chen Jixing naturally hurriedly responded, and took out the silver ticket casually.

Seeing that Chen Jixing was so well prepared, Zhou Yuanwai was stunned for a while, feeling that he had really suffered a big loss this time. If it weren't for the other party's pinching of his own urgency, how could Chen Jixing succeed.

After handing over the money, Mrs. Zhou urged her son to come forward and take Chen Jixing to the official mansion in the city. When everything was done, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, only Zhou Yuanwai looked very unhappy.

Several people seemed to have discussed, and they did whatever Zhou Yuan said, but secretly quickly cleaned up all the valuable belongings. In fact, I started cleaning up a few months ago, and there is not much left.

Therefore, this speed is a bit scary, and Mrs. Zhou has already entrusted the house to the village chief, saying that it is enough to send someone to clean it every month. Not even a penny of silver was left. And even if he stays, the village chief won't dare to accept it, who will let the family have an official immediately.

Therefore, when the Zhou family urged Zhou Yuan to get into the carriage the next day, he was still sighing when the family had this kind of combat effectiveness, and they worked together.

This is the first time.

Chen Jixing, who got the title deed, was also happy, although the name was Ye Feng's, he knew in his heart that the right to use these lands was actually his. To say that Ye Feng has generated a lot of income since coming to this family, but he has never planned for himself.

The most important thing is that this time, one acre of land earned a full two taels of silver. Now even if he doesn't do anything and turns around and sells the seventy acres of land, he can earn one hundred and forty taels.

For the first time, Chen Jixing tasted the taste of making money.

It's just a great feeling.

Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Feng got up, he heard Chen Jixing complaining in the house: "Ouch, my toothache is dead, you see if my left side of my face is swollen, I feel it different." Ay...... You tap, tap ...... It hurts. ”

When he got closer, Ye Shi was touching the left side of his face with concern, but Chen Jixing was in pain and shouted. To be honest, after being at this home for so long, Ye Feng didn't seem to have seen Chen Jixing sick.

As the saying goes, a toothache is not a disease, it hurts to kill.

Seeing Chen Jixing like this, Ye Feng was a little worried, after all, there was no dentist in this time and space, and he didn't know how to solve this problem. It's easy to get on fire, but if you have caries or something, you can probably only get through it.

I don't think there should be this kind of tooth extraction in this plane.

Seeing Ye Feng's concern and fear, Ye said lightly: "Hey, you don't have to worry about him, ** is sick." I think it's because I'm tired these days, so I'm on fire. I'll go find some herbs and come back in a moment, and by the way, I'll have to get some green-shelled duck eggs. ”

Hearing Ye Shi say this, Ye Feng was relieved, it seemed that Chen Jixing often shouted that he had a toothache. Think about it, during this time, I was buying furniture, moving to a new house, building a pigsty, and buying piglets and land.

And Ye's big belly, thinking that the two have not been intimate for a long time, yin and yang are out of balance, no wonder Chen Jixing will be on fire.

After breakfast, seeing that Chen Jixing kept humming, Ye knew that this time it was more serious. After thinking about it, he turned around and went back to the stove room to pick out a large lump of lard with chopsticks, and let Chen Jixing open his mouth and stuff it in.

Chen Jixing took the lard, then lay down and rested on the newly bought rocking chair. Ye Shi carried the basket and took Ye Feng and Qianyan to find herbs.

Seeing the Ye family walking towards the lake, Ye Feng said, "Sister, what are we going to the lake, do the herbs grow by the lake?" I thought I was going to Dr. Mao to buy it. ”

Ye Shi said: "That is, now that life is better, you dare to say this, in the past, you couldn't eat enough, where did you dare to see a doctor." If the people in this village are sick, they all go to the lake or the mountains to find some herbs, and go home to fry them. For example, if you have a cold, you look at this grass. ”

Pointing to a kind of grass with pitted leaves, Ye said: "This is called toad grass, this is called prunella grass, this is called plantain, and this is road yellow." These can be boiled together, and the treatment of wind and cold is the most effective. ”

Seeing that Ye Shi introduced himself and Qianyan with a serious face, Ye Feng realized that the reason why ancient China left herbal medicines was because of the valuable experience of the ancestors and the gift of nature, and secondly, it was convenient and easy to obtain, and it did not cost money. Everyone is sick, just go to the door and dig up some herbs.

"Then what are we going to dig to treat my brother-in-law's toothache?" Ye Feng is most concerned about this. After living so much, it was the first time he knew that there were some herbs that could cure toothache.

"A little further on, that's the place." Ye Shi pointed to the place where there was a large area of aquatic plants and said. As he approached, Ye crossed his hands on his hips and instructed Ye Feng and Qianyan to start pulling out an inconspicuous-looking grass.

Seeing that Ye Feng's face was full of questions, Ye Shi said: "This is called the yellow under your feet, when you pull it out a little hard, pull up the roots too." ”

Because the soil is very moist by the lake, it will get up with a gentle pull. Looking at the soil, the roots of this plant are not yellow. To say that the name of this villager is really simple and rude.

The leaves looked uneven, so they were called toad grass. The leaves look a little yellow, so they are called road yellow.

The roots of this plant are yellow, which is directly called the yellow under the feet.

Ye Feng said: "Can this grass cure a toothache?" ”

Seeing that Ye Feng was a little unconvinced, Ye said: "This alone is not enough, you also need to add a kind of bean paint, and a green-shell duck egg." Let's go, go to your sister-in-law Liu's house, the eggs laid by her ducks are green-shelled, and her yard is planted with bean paint, just buy it together. ”

In this way, carrying half a basket of herbs that the Ye family called the yellow under their feet, several people came to Liu's house again.

Liu was walking in the yard, and when he saw Ye coming, his face was full of enthusiasm. Since her belly has grown, she rarely goes out.

Seeing Qianyan carrying the basket and seeing that it was yellow under his feet, Liu smiled and said, "What's the matter, Brother Chen's toothache is committed again?" ”

Ye Shi said: "Isn't it, I cried out in pain when I came together in the morning, but this time it was more serious than before, and even half of my face was swollen." ”

Hearing this, Liu slowly walked in front of a clump of plants, and was about to squat down to pinch it, but Ye stopped him: "Don't move, I'll let Qianyan pinch it." You see your belly is so big, I look scary. ”

Ye Feng was also very curious, what exactly is Hu Dou paint. The name sounds nobble, compared to the herbs by the lake before. At first glance, it looks like some kind of succulent, with fleshy leaves, a bit like layers of clouds.

While Qianyan and Ye Feng were pinching the hudou paint, Liu turned around and entered the house, and came out with a basket containing twenty duck eggs. Ye Feng saw that the shell of this duck egg was indeed green, and it looked quite good.

After taking the basket, Ye said, "How much is it, I'll send it to you later." ”

Hearing this, Liu Shi said angrily: "If you don't have any money, don't send it over, I don't want it." ”

"Isn't it just to cure a toothache and make an introduction, why do you need so much. And you ......" Ye's words were not finished, but Liu understood.

"Depending on who she is, now I say the number." Liu's usual low-key style is rare to be high-profile.

Ye didn't want to hurt Liu's heart, mainly because he didn't want to give her good intentions, and knew that Liu wanted to thank her for letting her join the Yaya Township Kitchen, and it was rare to be the master once, so she accepted it, and it was a big deal that she would give some generous gifts when she was confined.

The two talked for a while, and then Ye went home.

When I got home, I saw Chen Jixing falling asleep on the chair.

Ye Shi knew that he couldn't fall asleep last night, and now that he finally fell asleep, he deliberately did not wake him up.

When he arrived in the backyard, Ye quickly washed the yellow and bean paint under his feet, cut them carefully, and then took out two green shell duck eggs and beat them, poured the freshly chopped yellow and bean paint into the egg mixture, and stirred them thoroughly.

Seeing that Ye Feng had already lit a fire, he took out all the things he needed to prepare. When the pan is hot, pour in the oil, pour in the egg mixture, and start to spread the omelet.

Ye Feng was burning the fire, and Ye was spreading egg cakes, so neither of them noticed the thousand words swallowing this saliva on the side. Therefore, when the egg cake was stalled, when Ye Feng and Ye Shi went out to call Chen Jixing, Qianyan saw that there was no one around, so he secretly stepped forward and pulled a piece of egg cake and quickly threw it into his mouth.

She had been hungry for this green-shell duck egg for a long time.

In the past, when Chen Jixing had a toothache, Ye just found three or four green-shell duck eggs, and was only willing to use one duck egg at a time, and all the cakes were given to Chen Jixing to eat, and Qianyan had never tasted them.

She said it several times, but every time Ye Shi told her that this egg was very bitter and could not be eaten at all, it was medicine.

In this regard, Qianyan didn't believe it.

That quiche looks so good and smells so good, how can it be bitter. And, even if it was bitter, it was an egg cake, and she didn't think she would dislike it.

Today, at this moment, as soon as she tasted it, she regretted it a little.

It turned out that what Ye said was true, and this egg was extremely bitter. How to say it, it's more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and it's so bitter that it's unbearable.

In the past, she always felt that the Ye family lied to her, but she made up such a far-fetched reason in order not to let her eat it. Now it seems that it is she who is stupid, and it has always been herself.

As soon as Chen Jixing and Ye Shi entered the door, what they saw was Qianyan, who had been stunned by the bitterness.

In this regard, Ye Shi said both funny and angry: "You girl, you deserve it, how many times have you said it, but you just don't listen, just because I am coaxing you." It's good that after you have tasted the bitterness, you will know what the real bitterness is. Let's see if you can eat it in the future. ”

Chen Jixing said dotingly: "She is still young, how can she know this, she thinks it is delicious." Forget it, I know it's very painful. You can spread a few more egg cakes, and give Ye Feng one to sit on, and I'll light the fire. ”

As he spoke, he blew the fire that had not been extinguished, put in the firewood to make a fire, and Ye Shi beat a few more duck eggs and began to spread the cakes. Fortunately, I got a lot this time, a full twenty, which is enough for Chen Jixing's treatment.

It wasn't until he ate the unfilled egg cake in his mouth and drank a lot of water that Qianyan felt that his mouth was not so bitter.

It's just that what surprised her was that this green-shell duck egg actually tasted the same as an ordinary duck egg, and it didn't taste different because the shell was good-looking.

This made her very disappointed.

It's just that this is not over, the next morning, Qianyan got up and had a stomach. This incident made her remember it vividly, even if she got married and became a mother, she still remembers.

The author has something to say: When we are young, we always don't want to believe the words of the old man, and we have to hit the south wall ourselves before we stop.
