In fact, after Bai Zhixian and his party came to the village to inspect, there was another person who benefited, and that was Chen Qianfan.

It's just that this person is relatively low-key, and he didn't lose himself in the face of countless praises, but was more cautious, which impressed the gentlemen of the academy, and secretly admired in his heart, thinking that this kid must have a great future.

The students also liked Chen Qianfan's character very much, and thought of the scenery that the classmate who came back with Bai Zhixian that day, so he said directly to Chen Qianfan: "Brother Chen, I heard that your village is now full of apricot blossoms, and I love apricot blossoms the most." You see if this will work, when the apricot blossoms bloom next year, can you take us to have a look? ”

Such a request is not too much at all.

Hearing this, Chen Qianfan said happily: "No problem, I will definitely invite you to take a look at it when the time comes." It's just that this day has to be chosen well, because the people of the Liqun Club will also go, as long as they don't bump into it. ”

Don't bump? They're trying to crash.

Another person said: "Actually, it's nothing to bump into each other, we just play our own games, and we don't stay in one place." Besides, those ladies will come with their daughters, and I really want to meet one or two......"

Most of the boys in the academy are adolescent boys, so they naturally have fantasies about the opposite sex. As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone began to heckle and think it was a good idea. The worst of them is also a person, and if they meet that pair of eyes, they will not insult each other's families.

They are also highly sought-after. The reason why I haven't decided on a marriage yet, but I want to wait for the next year's exam.

If you do well in the exam, you can marry a girl with a better family background. They have heard that whenever the list is released in the capital, it is the time for the rich and noble families who want to have a relationship with officialdom to catch their sons-in-law.

When the gold list was inscribed, the candle night in the cave room was the supreme dream of scholars since ancient times. And if you can meet your beloved before you get married, it will be even more beautiful.

Anyway, when the time comes, it's just a "chance encounter", and I won't dare to do anything out of the ordinary when I think about it, Chen Qianfan said: "I know, I know, don't quarrel, when the time is determined, I will inform you." As for whether or not you can meet by chance, it depends on your own creation. ”

No matter how powerful Liqun is, she can't clear the scene.

Everyone was very happy when they got the promise, but in fact it was just a dream, who could really imagine what they could do.

After a little more talking, they dispersed.

Ye Feng saw that the apples in Chen Wumei's field were all sold, so he took her and Qianyu to the orchard with special scissors, and taught the two to prune the branches hand in hand.

Qianyan has completely given up learning to graft and tending to fruit trees, and she still likes bonsai more. She was not interested in such work that required going to the field and soaking in the field all day. Speaking of which, except for some hardships in the past few years since she was a child, she lived a very nourishing life in the following days.

It's a good time to catch up.

Chen Wumei and Qianyu studied very carefully, and asked some questions from time to time. If they still had doubts about grafting before this batch of apples was sold, then there are no more doubts at this moment.

It's a magical technique that not only changes the variety, but more importantly, makes the bitter fruit palatable.

At the same time, I also began to look forward to what sweet pears those grafted pear trees would produce in the coming year.

As for fertilization, Chen Jixing's big biogas digester is more farmhouse fertilizer, and there is no need to tell at all, Fan Jifei himself took the initiative to follow behind them, as long as the branches are pruned and cleaned up, Fan Jifei quickly picks up a hoe to turn over the soil under the tree, and then picks up the wooden barrel and starts to water fertilizer.

Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this free labor is really easy to use." Without being commanded or watched, he came by himself, as if it were a daily necessity. ”

One sentence successfully provoked Chen Wumei to blush, and Qianyu covered her mouth and laughed on the side. At her age, she is also beginning to be sensible.

It was so busy for almost ten days, the weather was getting colder, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. Fortunately, the sun is very strong during the day, which is the best time to dry things.

Ye Feng took Qianyu and Chen Wumei to be busy in the rose field, picked off the rose buds that were still flower bones, washed them and put them in the sun to dry. At the same time, he carried a basket into the mountain and picked mint, prickly pear, wild chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, etc.

With the plum blossoms picked at the beginning of this year, the lotus flowers picked in the summer, and the osmanthus picked some time ago, it is enough to open a beverage store.

At the same time, thinking of the dozens of apples sent by Chen Wumei at home, Ye Feng asked the two of them to help, first washed the apples, and then took out a kitchen knife to prepare to slice and dry them.

Fruit tea or something, it's not bad.

Seeing Ye Feng come out with a knife, everyone thought that he was going to cut the apples and distribute them to everyone, so Ye said: "I just roughly counted, there are about twenty-seven or eight here, you don't need to cut them, there are still leftovers for each person." ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "Sister, these are not for eating, I have other uses." Qianyu, you help me pick these stalks, wipe the water with a cloth towel, and then cut them with me. You see, cut it like this, cut it thinly, not too thickly. ”

Chen Wumei said: "What are you doing with such a thin cut?" It can't be dried and then drunk with those flowers, right? ”

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Haha, this time you are right, you really used it to make tea." It's just that it has to be dried. Cut it thinner because it's easy to dry and easy to preserve, so you have to store it until next year. Also, if you cut it too thickly, it will be too bad. ”

When Chen Wumei heard this, she suddenly realized that she had guessed correctly, and this apple slice was also used to make tea. She was afraid that Qianyu would cut her hand, so she took a kitchen knife and cut it like Ye Feng.

Ye's twin sons are having fun at the moment, they just learned to speak some time ago, and when they saw everyone chatting around cutting apples together, they grabbed the apple slices cut by Ye Feng and Chen Wumei and stuffed them into their mouths, making everyone laugh and laugh from ear to ear.

The two children were so clever that they had just tried to nibble on the whole apple, but they couldn't bite at all.

And these thin, sliced apple slices are just right.

is so busy, and when winter comes, a few people have already got all kinds of dried flowers, dried fruits, and dried fruit slices.

In order to be afraid that the prickly pear's thorns would stab the guests, Qianyu and Chen Wumei also carefully wiped the fruit and most of the thorns, and then they packed it in a cloth bag with confidence, tied the bag tightly, and hung it on the beam.

Now, they have dozens of catties of dried roses, more than 10 catties of dried mint and honeysuckle, dozens of catties of wild chrysanthemums, 5 catties of lotus, more than 3 catties of osmanthus, and more than 30 catties of prickly pear. As for the apple slices, they have not been weighed, but they are at least five or six catties when weighed.

Preparing these basic raw materials for brewing herbal tea, Ye Feng took the two of them to find a craftsman and began to decorate the shop.

The shop in Qianyu has been renovated and renovated according to the rules of the restaurant. Because it is not far from home, the second floor was also renovated. It's just that the windows have not been renovated, Ye Feng said that he has a plan, and the storage is different.

So since the shop has been renovated to the present, everything is good, and it is all perfect, but the square hole in the wall on the second floor looks really incongruous.

Because this shop that was going to sell food was renovated some time ago, Ye Feng also wanted to try the effect of installing the glaze, so he first asked a craftsman to take out the largest piece of glaze, first polished it, and then carefully inlaid it and reinforced it to ensure that it would not fall off.

I have to say that with this piece of glaze, which is already very mature, the whole house is a lot brighter.

At the same time, Ye Feng arranged a few pieces of glass that had been accidentally broken before on the roof instead of tiles. As a result, there is almost no need to light up the room, and it is simply bright.

Only then did everyone know why Ye Feng asked them not to decorate the windows, but to keep them until now. It's all decorated, and it immediately has a more advanced feeling than the shop next to it.

After decorating this shop, Ye Feng began to use craftsmen to decorate his flower shop and the beverage shop in cooperation with Chen Wumei.

That's right, this cooperative store is going to be used exclusively to sell drinks. When the time comes, talk to the pastry shop in the county and buy some pastries from the other party every day. Drinks and pastries, I think business will not be bad.

Considering that people who come to drink drinks are naturally thirsty or tired from walking, and want to sit down and rest, the place to sit must be comfortable. Ye Feng designed each chair to look like a sofa, and as for the table, it was the simplest solid wood table, which was coated with a layer of varnish.

As for the overall layout of the store, Ye Feng is designed according to the current beverage store. Therefore, when the craftsmen listened to Ye Feng's explanation, although they knew what to do, their minds were actually full of doubts.

With such a design, can it look good when it is decorated?

Who knows, when everything was done, Ye brought his family over to watch, and he was really surprised. Huang didn't want to come, but first, Mrs. Liu also came, and second, she also wanted to see what Chen Wumei's shop was like. It doesn't matter if she recognizes the door, in case she sells food in the future, she can also come to eat from time to time.

Ye Feng really holds a grudge, and he is willing to give Chen Wumei a shop, but he is reluctant to give her one. After thinking about it, it wasn't because she was embarrassed by the Ye family at the beginning.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on it, he began to look at it as well. How to say it, this shop looks too different, it's just ......

First of all, the most amazing thing is the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the second floor.

Originally, although the glass brought by Kang's from the capital has high clarity and is almost transparent, it is the most suitable to use as a window, but the size is not enough. In order to glue these glasses together without falling off, Ye Feng didn't think of a way.

In the end, I had to find Master Lu, who built him a glass house, and used a special glue to glue a few pieces of glass. This is naturally not possible, because I don't know if the glass will be separated after a long time because of the peeling off of the glue.

After thinking about it, the master handled it in the simplest way, that is, wrapped it in a very thin piece of polished metal at the joint. Perhaps because he was afraid that Ye Feng would dislike it, he drew on the metal piece.

I heard Ye Feng say that this shop is used to sell drinks, and almost all of them are flowers, so this master also described all kinds of flowers in accordance with the situation.

Ye and Chen Jixing couldn't wait to walk to the window, sat down next to the strange chair, and immediately felt very comfortable, this chair was exactly the same as the glass room at home, and there was a backrest behind it.

At the same time, if you look out the window, you can almost clearly see the people and objects on the street. Sitting in the house, staying at home, but being able to clearly see the people and things outside.

It's a really bizarre feeling.

Ye Shi said happily: "It's just right like this, it's suitable for women to sit here, it's not good if it's too transparent." We can see outside, but people outside can't see us clearly. ”

As soon as Ye said this, Ye Feng became even happier.

To be honest, he originally disliked that these glasses were not transparent enough, but now it seems that there are benefits of not being transparent enough.

It was a real bonus.

In addition, each table has a small pot of bonsai, all of which are specially made. In order to stop these pocket-sized bonsai, Ye Feng really spent a lot of effort. First of all, I looked for suitable flowers and trees, and then I went to Taojia Village to burn a batch of small flower pots.

After potting, it was carefully pruned, so that it was appropriate for the scene and not abrupt. A small pot can be placed in the palm of your hand.

In modern times, he planted succulents directly, which were both beautiful and very easy to take care of. But here, he didn't find any traces of the flesh, so he had to design this small bonsai instead.

Then there are the stairs.

In ordinary shops, in order to save space, the stairs are made like ladders. As a result, it is somewhat steep, and the taller ones will hit their heads if they are not careful.

For this reason, Ye Feng first wrapped a layer of soft things on the top of the wall, so that even if he touched his head, he would not be injured. In addition, he was able to slow down the stairs and increase the width of each staircase.

Although it takes up some space on the first floor, the second floor is originally an important area for hospitality. There are only four tables on the first floor, and the rest are places for pastries and drinks.

When she arrived on the first floor, Chen Wumei said, "You all sit down, I'll make you a drink." ”

Zhu's is okay, she also bought a shop at home, and it has already been renovated and has already started business.

But the Huang family was reluctant to buy silver, and always felt that it was a bit unreliable to buy a shop with three hundred taels of silver, and she felt that she was embarrassed to go out without a few hundred taels of silver at home, so she didn't buy a shop.

At this moment, she naturally knew that the prices of these shops had risen, and she regretted that she was not firm enough, and seeing that someone like Chen Wumei who was taken home by her husband's family could be the boss, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, she didn't care whether Mrs. Liu was happy or not, she was the first to sit by the window and said to Chen Wumei: "Okay, hurry up and give my sister-in-law a drink, I am really a little thirsty after you have seen the shop for half a day." Ah, this chair is really good......"

In this regard, Mrs. Liu couldn't tell whether she was angry or not, because her face was expressionless. Although he didn't bother to pay attention to Huang, he sat opposite Huang and stared at her like that.

She wanted to see what kind of waves this big daughter-in-law could make as she sat here and stared at her.

What does it mean to watch a shop for a long time? Coupled with the shop that sells food in Ye's house, this is just the second shop, and she can get tired if she goes upstairs twice? I really think of myself as a big lady.

I have to say that this trick is very effective. But after watching it for a few minutes, Huang was furious by Mrs. Liu's heart, so she took the lead in bowing her head and making a small one, and added: "Thank you, Fifth Sister, Fifth Sister has worked hard." ”

Approaching the high operation room surrounded by three walls, Ye Feng and Chen Wumei began to get busy. The wall is neither high nor short, just waist-high. The walls are painted with various flowers painted in gold, which is extremely gorgeous.

And this glass door is also very soundproof, sitting here is quiet, not very audible outside sound. So, it's like another world.

Mrs. Liu is old, and she said that she has been on fire recently, so Chen Wumei is going to make her a cup of prickly pear tea, and then put some sugar gnocchi on it. The prickly pear was originally a little sweet, but Mrs. Liu is old, her sense of taste has deteriorated, and she can't taste it if it's light.

Huang shouted at the flowers, and Ye Feng was ready to make her a cup of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea. As for the others, Chen Jixing likes to drink mint, Ye and Qianyan like to drink roses, and Qianyu only likes the fragrance of apples.

It's good to be a family member, and you don't need to ask to know each other's preferences.

Chen Wumei ignited the stove, quickly washed the teapot, filled it with water, and began to boil the water. Ye Feng will wash the cups according to everyone's taste, and then wash the various flowers and other materials with water one by one, and then throw the materials into the cup.

Huang saw that Mrs. Liu's cup added a lot of sugar, but her share was not, and said in his heart that this is really watching people put off the plate, thinking of this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Fifth sister, add a few pieces of sugar to my cup." ”

Hearing this, Fifth Sister Chen didn't say anything, so Ye Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I am reluctant to add it to you, but didn't you say that you are on fire?" Adding sugar doesn't have that good effect. In addition, if you eat too much sugar, you will become fat and have a lot of phlegm. ”

Since his life has become richer, the Huang family is like a hungry ghost reincarnated, eager to eat and fish every day, but seems to want to make up for all the things that have not been eaten in the past few decades. It is said that this month alone, her family consumed more than 30 catties of pork, a few chickens and ducks, and a few big elbows.

As for the flour or something, it is naturally all white flour and fine noodles.

The current Huang family is like blowing air, and the whole person is fat, which makes honest people like Chen Jiwang a little disgusted. Because she is fat, she always farts at night, stinks, and snores, thinking that it should be because she has eaten too much meat.

The other women in the village, on the other hand, were fond of eating meat for a while, but slowly began to turn their attention to other things.

For example, I cared about my son's studies, cared about my daughter's lifelong events, began to learn to match different styles of clothes, began to buy rouge and gouache to dress up, and so on. Seeing Huang like this, everyone was a little crying and laughing.

The Huang family naturally knew this, so as soon as Ye Feng said it, she closed her mouth in a daze and never spoke again.

She really didn't want to continue to gain weight.

Recently, she always felt that Chen Jiwang's eyes that had been stabbed a thousand times always glanced at the little daughters-in-law in the village who were wearing pinched waists. However, there was no evidence of this, after all, she saw it alone.

Second, those little daughters-in-law are now confident, if the Huang family dares to say this, it is estimated that the other party will pounce on her directly. And there are more daughters-in-law in the village who like to wear waist-pinching clothes, and she will offend many people if she says this.

And with the silver, life is rich, it seems that everyone's temper has become bad, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get along. It's no longer like before, what the Huang family says, they just hear.

Now, they simply won't put up with it. If the Huang family dared to say anything unpleasant, they would immediately fight each other, making the Huang family very faceless.

After a while, the water on the stove began to smoke, and it seemed so warm on this winter morning.

Ye Feng specially went to the forest to get this water yesterday, in order to show it to everyone today. Compared with well water, mountain spring water tastes better when making tea. Of course, when there are many people, the price of mountain spring water and well water is naturally different.

This depends on the economic strength of each person.

As soon as the water boiled, Ye Feng took a thick cloth and lifted the teapot and poured boiling water into each cup, and suddenly, all kinds of floral and fruity fragrances seemed to be activated, and they came alive.

Speaking of which, they used to be alive, but then they were dried by the sun and stored. Now, a cup of boiling mountain spring water has brought them back to life and restored their former appearance.

Originally, the effect would be better if it was soaked in a glass, but it was helpless that he hadn't seen it for the time being, so Ye Feng fired this batch of pure white porcelain cups in Taojia Village. The cup is slender and has some flowers painted on it, which is insulated and beautiful.

Seeing that Ye Feng had made the tea, Chen Wumei took out a wooden utensil, which was the tray that Ye Feng said, put all the cups of tea on it, and walked towards everyone.

Ye Feng didn't know where to turn out a few exquisite pastries, but he cut them carefully with a knife, and then put a special small plate in front of him.

Don't dare to take it out completely like this, who knows if Huang will lose his temper again and desperately stuff it into his mouth. She's the one who can even rob her own children of food, let alone others.

Everyone was given their favorite flavor of tea and a small plate of pastries. I took the cup and put it in my mouth, and took a sip, and my mouth was full of the fragrance of plants. Finally, he picked up the spoon again and scooped a bite of the pastry into his mouth.

The sweetness of the pastry and the aroma of flowers and fruits are really beautiful.

At this time, the sun shone in through the glass, shining on everyone, and everyone was very warm after drinking hot water just now. Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes, drank tea, ate pastries, and looked at the people coming and going outside, feeling that this life was simply too beautiful.

Perhaps influenced by this atmosphere, Huang's every move became lighter, less vulgar and more elegant. She was amazed at what she found, but she couldn't bear to break the beautiful atmosphere.

I thought to myself, when the farming is idle in the future, I will come here to drink a cup of tea and eat pastries when I have time, which is really beautiful. Thinking about it, whether it is Ye Feng or Chen Wumei, they will not accept her money.

After the tea was drunk, Ye Feng poured it full for everyone again.

After drinking again, Ye Shi proposed to go home.

On the second day, Ye Feng began to decorate the shop selling flowers again.

The decoration of this shop is much simpler, and it is mostly made of shelves to facilitate the placement of bonsai. At the same time, a half-human-high part of the wall was also set aside and inlaid with three pieces of glass. In this way, people outside can see the flowers in the shop when they pass by.

As for the second floor, Ye Feng placed a small single bed, which seemed to be not in harmony, but could be integrated with bonsai.

When business was good, he planned to live here.
