Winter nights come very quickly, and as soon as the sun sets, twilight comes up.

The small living room of the Qin family was lit with an oil lamp, and a large table of guests crowded around one after another, eating in full swing.

"Ziheng's daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, it is not a problem to take it to the big restaurant, your family is really blessed!"

For Chen Youyi's cooking skills, everyone unanimously expressed their heartfelt appreciation, and the chopsticks never stopped.

"You eat slowly, and there are good dishes waiting in the back!" Mu Xiulian greeted the guests, although she felt that Chen Youyi was doing more, but Chen Youyi wanted to do it, and Mu Xiulian also wanted to do her best to help.

As he was talking, the door was opened, and Qin Ziheng held a large plate and put the dishes inside on the table.

"What kind of dish is this?" The guests were surprised by the bright red color, and after a second look, they recognized the prototype of the ingredients: "This is, tofu and fish?" ”

Tofu and fish are common ingredients here, but this is the first time I've seen this way of eating.

"Let's try it all, this is Youyi's own concoction, what is it called, mapo tofu, boiled fish fillet, made it a few times at home, it looks strange, but it is very delicious."

Under Mu Xiulian's persuasion, soon, a guest sandwiched a chopstick tofu and said: "I've eaten tofu for a lifetime, and it's the first time I've eaten it like this, let me taste it." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on the man, watching him put the tofu in his mouth and chew it, the expression on his face changed from surprise, to disgust, to shock, and he took another chopstick.

"Don't say it, it's really delicious!" The man reminisced and tried to express his experience: "The first bite was very hot in my mouth, but the tofu was smooth and tender, and I swallowed it at once." The burning sensation in the mouth became refreshing again, and there was a special fragrance. ”

Seeing that he was eating vigorously, the other guests also held the mentality of trying it and picked up the first chopsticks. After that, several people jumped into the basin.

"The dish is coming!" As soon as the door opened, this time Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng came, each with a dish in their hands. Spicy lotus root slices, spicy dry pot, spicy razor clams, and a large plate of spicy diced chicken.

If it weren't for the lack of chili peppers, she would have to save on it, and she would also like to make a spicy chicken dish to stimulate the taste buds and eyes of these guests.

Chen Youyi glanced at the table when she was serving, and the two spicy dishes served before were eaten upside down, and she had a bottom in her heart.

The next few plates of good dishes naturally did not escape the clutches, and each plate was made into a CD, and even the soup was eaten with rice.

"Ziheng's daughter-in-law, your craftsmanship is really a must!" The guests all ate with small bellies, and they were still unsatisfied: "What are you making of this, we have never tasted such strange flavors before." ”

Chen Youyi waited for them to ask questions, and then took out a handful of dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns: "The ingredients are all ordinary ingredients that can be seen everywhere, and the reason why these dishes taste special is because these chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are added as condiments." ”

The pepper is planted in the mountains, and the villagers don't know that she is growing it, but there are villagers who have seen this 'weed' when they go up the mountain. As for the pepper tree, it was planted in the courtyard of the Qin family, and passers-by could see it, and they had been curiously discussed because few people planted it, and more people knew about it.

"Can you eat these things? Can you make tofu, lotus root slices, and fish so delicious? ”

The little pepper and pepper were passed back and forth in the hands of the guests, and they were all surprised by the power of this gadget. At first, I didn't believe Chen Youyi's words, but I didn't believe it until I smelled the smell.

Seeing that they gradually believed, Chen Youyi said: "These are very rare condiments, I found them by chance, add a little when cooking, you can make more flavorful dishes, and everyone has tasted them." ”

Everyone echoed and answered, but they didn't understand that she was so sudden and serious, and they didn't know what to say.

Chen Youyi made such a table of 'foreshadowing', just to impress people with facts, and said: "I came to you today, in fact, I want to discuss this matter with you." If you need it, I can give you the seeds and plant them together. ”

She gave a brief introduction to the functions and flavors of chili peppers and peppercorns, as well as the growth period. Sichuan pepper can't come in handy for a short time, but once harvested, it will be a lot of income. Peppers are more convenient, annual plants, planted in spring and harvested in summer and autumn, which is very easy to grow.

However, the response from the villagers was not as enthusiastic as expected.

"Ziheng's daughter-in-law, it's not that we don't accept this kindness, it's just that we haven't seen what you said!"

"yes, yes!"

The villagers talked a lot, but they couldn't accept it. In their opinion, it is good to grow this thing at home and improve the taste, and the dish on this table today is really delicious.

But as for what Chen Youyi said, this East Evil can be sold at a good price, they only think that Chen Youyi is young and ignorant, and casually boasts about the big cake.

I have never heard of anyone eating this pepper and selling it for money. If it's really a valuable good thing, how can it be their turn, wouldn't those rich people have poached it early?

Chen Youyi was a little helpless about the villagers' heartfelt resistance, but she couldn't force them. She regretted that the villagers had missed an early opportunity to escape poverty.

Alas, find a chance to convince them later. Chen Youyi can only comfort herself like this.

Sichuan pepper and chili pepper were not sold, but the grass was greatly loved. The guests who came today are all here for pasture, and I hope to cooperate with the Qin family in the coming year and use topgrass as the main feed.

This year, the villagers have seen that the cattle and sheep raised by the primrose are less sick and stronger, and they are all rushed to the market to buy, and they are sold more expensive than the sheep fed with ordinary feed, but they are sold better.

"Okay, everyone is willing to cooperate with our family, of course." Chen Youyi agreed, but this time the form has changed: "I have two plans for you to choose, one is to plant grass by us as before, and then provide it to everyone, and collect dividends at the end of the year." ”

The second option is to distribute the primrose seeds directly to the villagers and let them plant them themselves, only for the money for the seeds.

The money for seeds sounds a bit expensive, but it is still nearly half less than the forage dividends at the end of the year. The people in the village are all farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they can grow pasture, as long as they have seeds, they are of course more willing to grow them themselves.

There was no suspense, everyone chose the latter, only bought seeds, and went back to plant their own.

Seeing off the guests, Mu Xiulian couldn't help but complain: "You, I want to know that they will definitely pick a cheap one, why do you still come up with such a bad idea, so that the income of the grass will be reduced by half?" ”
