Chapter 82: Happy Events (5)
In the evening, after sending off the last batch of guests, the aunt of the Wu family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the guests this time are relatives, some are villagers, and some are special, that is, the bride's maiden family, her in-laws.
I've seen a wedding banquet, but I've never seen everything like her family stacked on top of each other. The complexity can be imagined.
Fortunately, her daughter was a capable person, who came back from her in-laws' house a few days early to help, and quickly cleared up these complicated relationships. Therefore, she can often remind Aunt Wu when she doesn't know the identity of the other party, which saves a lot of trouble.
Rao is like this, ushered in the send-off, some relatives need her to send it in person, some need her to receive it personally, and some need her to send some gifts, which is not sloppy at all.
However, strictly speaking, the pressure of the Wu family's aunt is mainly mental, because most of them are etiquette issues, as long as you don't make mistakes.
But for the people in the Yaya Country Kitchen, it is a double pressure of mental and physical pressure. By the time dinner was over, everyone felt like they were about to fall apart.
This workload is no less than the intensity of the busy farming.
As an accountant, Zhao quickly made a calculation before Aunt Wu came. As a result, the two hundred taels of silver prepaid by the Wu family's aunt were spent a total of one hundred and fifty taels after these three purchases, and there were still fifty taels left. But in fact, after bargaining, the cost of procurement is only one hundred and twenty-six taels.
In other words, they saved twenty-four taels of silver in the procurement process.
Seeing Aunt Wu coming into the backyard, Zhao handed her fifty taels of silver and said that it was the remaining silver. At the same time, I handed over a list of the goods purchased in the past few days and the unit price, and I remember each one very clearly.
This is still listed by her acquaintances in the city.
Aunt Wu saw that all the accounts were clear, and the dishes and taste of the banquet this time simply exceeded her expectations, so she was very satisfied.
looked at the remaining more than ten catties of meat, a few catties of white flour, and a little vegetables, and said generously: "It's really hard for you this time." Take the rest of the things back and divide them, and treat them as your hard work. β
After speaking, he took out eight purses and said: "There are 500 articles in this purse, so I should thank you for your hard work." β
Everyone took it one by one and was very happy.
Zhu and Chen Jida made money for the first time, and they were even more excited. You must know that she and Chen Jida add up, which is one or two pieces of silver.
The aunt of the Wu family took out another purse and continued: "Here is the reward for these three days, twenty taels of silver. β
Zhao hurriedly took it.
After a few more polite words, Aunt Wu left.
When everyone saw the Lord's house leaving, they all cheered up, washed the dishes and chopsticks, sorted them into categories, and put away the boards, stools, cutting boards, kitchen knives, especially the set of plates, and carried all the meat, noodles, and vegetables to the car.
By the time this was done, it was already dark.
was about to say goodbye, but Aunt Wu appeared again, patted her head and said, "Look at my memory, I really don't remember anything now." I forgot to mention it just now, didn't you say it before, you can help buy that plate. Five taels of silver a set, right? I need one set here, and everyone else needs four, for a total of five. All you have to do is buy it and come to me, and when the time comes, the goods will be cleared. β
Zhao hurriedly wrote it down and prepared to go back and tell Ye Feng.
After thinking about it, he said to Aunt Wu again: "Then you have to wait for a while." There is no ready-made dish for this dish, so you need to go to Taojia Village to order it and fire it first, and then go to get it back. β
Aunt Wu said: "This is not in the way, we are not in a hurry to use it, but I love that delicate appearance, but when I think of it, I take it out and make it." β
Ye Ermei knew about this, that set of dishes was only a set of four taels of silver, and if she sold a set, Ye Feng could earn one or two silver. A total of five sets were sold this time, which means that Ye Feng can earn five taels of silver.
They didn't come with him at all, but they earned five taels of silver while sitting at home, and they were really powerful.
The people drove the ox cart out of the way for some distance, and when they reached an open place, they got out of the cart and prepared to divide the money. The consensus of everyone is that they must not share the silver in Chenjia Village. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be red-eyed.
Everyone consciously formed a circle and surrounded the Zhao family in the middle.
In anticipation, Zhao said: "We earned a total of twenty-four taels of silver for this purchase, and the remuneration for cooking is twenty-four taels of silver, a total of forty-four taels. There are eight of us in total, and what we said before is to divide evenly, so one person is five taels of silver and five hundred wen. β
is worthy of the Zhao family, this account is getting more and more slippery, of course, she has also calculated it in advance.
Hearing this, Zhu said to Zhao with envy and admiration: "In the past, I only said that my sister was Mu Ne, and I didn't like to talk, but I didn't know that my sister had such a ability. If you let me do the calculations, I won't be able to keep them for a day or a night. β
Da Niu Ma continued: "Isn't it? Speaking of which, I was scared by her for the first time. β
Next, the Zhao family divided the silver one by one.
After being tired for three days and four nights, at this moment, when they got the silver, everyone felt real. What about being tired, it's just about the same as when the farm was busy, but where is there so much silver to take when the farm is busy?
Coupled with the silver reward given by Aunt Wu before, this time the Yaya Township Chef earned a full six taels of silver per person. Except for Ye Ermei and Chen Jixing, the rest of the people present were two people.
In other words, a family has an income of twelve taels.
Zhu and Chen Jiwang were so excited again that they happily squeezed each other's hands. You must know that after so many years, they have only saved five taels of silver for private money.
If this continues, within a few years, they will be able to live a good life. can build a decent yard, can prepare the daughter's dowry more abundantly, and can also say a good family affair for his son.
Seeing these things in the car, everyone discussed a day of rest and a lunch the day after tomorrow. As for the meat, he directly asked Chen Jixing to take it home and marinate it.
Now the rest is nothing to do except send Ye Ermei home.
In the end, Da Niu's mother and Chen Jida took Chen Jiwan's car and went back to Chenjia Village directly, Chen Jixing accompanied Ye Ermei back to Yejia Village, and Chen Qianshan caught the car.
The next day, Chen Jixing slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, he was too tired. got up together, had breakfast, and told Ye Feng that someone had ordered five sets of dishes.
Hearing this, Ye Feng said happily: "I just tried it, but I didn't expect someone to buy it." It seems that we are going to Taojia Village again in a while. β
Ye Shi is more business-minded, and after thinking about it, he said: "Taojia Village is too far away, and it is not easy to come and go. Otherwise, let's just buy twenty sets and put them back when we go next time, and these dishes won't break anyway. β
Ye Feng felt that this proposal was good, so he agreed.
Chen Jixing took out another six taels of silver he earned and handed it all over to the Ye family. Seeing the silver, Ye was a little unhappy, and Ye Feng asked why.
Ye said: "If I go, it will be twelve taels of silver." β
Seeing her like this, Ye Feng said: "What's this, didn't I give you that pot of dendrobium, I think the flowers are blooming just right now, or let's go to the city after lunch and sell it?" β
Hearing this, Ye became happy.
After lunch, anyway, he was not in a hurry, so Ye Feng called Chen Qianshan, who was supervising the work across the house, to come over, and drove the ox cart to the city with a few people.
Now that Ye is his aunt, he is naturally happy. What's more, there is Ye Feng here. You must know that it wasn't Ye Feng who took him, where did he have his current life.
When they arrived in the city, several people went straight to the Crane Year Hall.
It just so happened that there were no patients at this time, and Dr. Zhang was resting in the inner hall. Since Yip came for a follow-up examination, he has not seen anyone again. He had been waiting for Ye Feng to bring the legendary dendrobium over.
What are you saying?
It turned out that he had recently seen three patients, all of whom needed dendrobium to treat.
The first patient was Li Yuanwai's wife, Tan.
This Li Yuanwai's family is rich, the money is quite rich, and the jade tree is in the wind, suave, and naturally the peach blossoms are constant, in addition to the Tan family, he also married a four-room concubine.
At the beginning, Tan's stomach was angry, and he gave birth to a son within a year of entering the door. This can make Li Yuanwai happy, the first child is a son, or a son-in-law, and the status is self-evident.
Even with it, the Tan family is also very favored.
Who knows, these concubines are also powerful, they have all given birth to children, and the Tan family doesn't know if it's because their grace is not as good as before or because they have physical problems, since they gave birth to their sons, they have never been pregnant again.
couldn't stand the young and beautiful concubines, and there were children beside them, and the pillow wind was blowing badly, and the Tan family was unexpectedly elevated.
In addition to guarding his son's life, it is difficult to see Li Yuan again.
Dr. Zhang specializes in gynecology, and it is naturally easy to see that this Tan family is depressed in the heart, and the liver and gallbladder are depressed, which causes her to have emotional hesitation, liver fire, anger and other diseases.
To be honest, this disease is not difficult to treat, just soothe the liver and relieve depression.
Although he formulated a prescription, without the flavor of dendrobium, the effect would be far worse. Maybe it's because she has been depressed for a long time, but now Tan's face is dark and yellow, and she has a lot of melasma, coupled with her big temper, which has seriously affected the relationship between her and Li Yuanwai.
The second patient is the big shopkeeper of Lingyun Building.
Maybe it's because he's in the catering industry, so he has never treated himself badly when it comes to eating. No, he is chubby, and he is still ruddy in his fifties, which is enviable.
However, I don't know what's wrong lately, and I'm often dizzy. At first, he didn't care, thinking that he might be too tired. As the shopkeeper of the leading restaurant, he does have a lot of things to think about every day.
However, after resting, he did not feel better, but felt a constant dull discomfort in his head, which seriously hindered him from thinking about things.
That's serious. If he continues like this, then he won't have to do it. So I found Dr. Zhang.
As soon as Dr. Zhang saw it, he knew that it was a disease of vertigo. first told him to eat more light food, many vegetables, and less meat, and then only said that he still lacked a taste of elixir.
After a period of vegetarianism, although I have improved a lot, I still can't regain my previous ability to work.
As for the third patient, it was simpler, a menopausal woman who had a very bad temper in recent times, and could be called irritable. Whether it is a daughter-in-law, son or husband, they were all scolded by her.
Afterwards, she herself was distressed.
Dr. Zhang understood at a glance.
After thinking about it, he found that all three patients needed the dendrobium medicine, and they needed it very much. Therefore, I was eagerly looking forward to Ye Feng's arrival.
Therefore, when he heard that Ye Feng was coming with Dendrobium in his arms, he couldn't mention how excited he was.
Hurriedly greeted him in person.
I saw Ye Feng holding a pot of dendrobium in his hand, which grew luxuriantly, it was almost bursting, and the condition was also excellent. I saw that the stems of this dendrobium were growing up one by one, like bamboo. The leaves are dark green in color, and the tip of the leaf is relatively curvature.
As for the flower, it is even more amazing, it is a cherished water red. With this quality, Dr. Zhang knew that its medicinal effect was absolutely sufficient.
Fortunately, he was not arrogant at that time and looked down on Ye Feng. Otherwise, this pot of dendrobium will definitely not be sold here.
Immediately took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to Ye Feng without any pain, wanting to buy this pot of flowers as agreed.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng avoided it gently.
Seeing this, Dr. Zhang was a little anxious, and said in his heart, does this kid want to regret it and sit on the ground and raise the price? Unexpectedly, Ye Feng said to him: "Doctor Zhang, I shouldn't have been so stingy. It's just that I can spend a tael of silver on this flower pot, and other flower pots can't raise this flower. As long as you do what I say, the flower will continue to grow. β
Hearing Ye Feng say that this dendrobium can continue to grow, Dr. Zhang was pleasantly surprised and didn't know what to say.
The three patients, one richer than the other, are all waiting for this miracle cure. Although there are a lot of dendrobiums in this pot, it is definitely not enough for three patients, and besides, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be similar patients coming to the door.
As long as he doesn't kill this pot of dendrobium, he can always have silver to earn. What is thirty taels?
In this condition, he can sell it for two hundred taels.
Listening to Ye Feng's meaning, he just wanted to charge an extra tael of silver, Dr. Zhang immediately said that there was no problem, and took out another tael of silver, Ye Feng then elaborated on the precautions for planting dendrobium.
Dr. Zhang was like a primary school student at the moment, carefully noting down every detail that Ye Feng said. He couldn't help but pay attention to it, this flower is so rare. Rao has been practicing medicine for decades, and this is the first time he has seen a live blooming dendrobium.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Shi said as if he remembered something: "Doctor Zhang, can you help me diagnose the pulse, they all say that I have twins." If that's the case, I'll have to take care of it. β
As soon as it came to diagnosing the pulse, Dr. Zhang immediately became serious, and Ye Feng said in his heart, this is the real expert.
After a serious diagnosis for a while, Dr. Zhang said: "Well, the pulse is powerful, like a ball falling into a plate." Not 100 percent, but nine times out of ten. β
Hearing this, several people were a little excited. It's one thing to speculate, but it's another to hear the doctor's confirmation.
Ye insisted on paying the consultation fee.
In this regard, Dr. Zhang said: "We should also have a fate, and the consultation fee will be counted." And be careful not to eat too much, so as not to have a difficult production in the future. Then, some more precautions were said.
It was Ye Feng, who watched the young man tending to the pot of dendrobium, and said to Dr. Zhang: "If we come to sell dendrobium in the future, like this, is it also thirty taels and one pots?" β
"So, you still have it at home? How many more? Dr. Zhang asked in surprise.
If you want to talk about this dendrobium, no matter how much you do, you don't dislike it. If the market here is saturated, there are still so many places in the country that need it. Although fresh is not easy to ship, even if it is dried, it is a hot item.
You know, there are a lot of rich people in the capital. In order to live a few more years, for the health care function of dendrobium, no matter how much silver you are willing to pay. If Ye Feng could sell him a few more pots, he would make several times as much as he sold them.
"No, I'm going to try my luck in the mountains again." Ye Feng said naturally, and he didn't plan to tell Doctor Zhang in advance.
As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
Chen Jixing's family has no power, and if something really happens, he has no ability to protect himself at all. If it is in modern times, it is okay, but this time and space regards dendrobium as a fairy grass.
If someone knows that he has fairy grass in his house, he may not know what will happen.
Hearing this, Dr. Zhang was a little disappointed, but there was no way, it was not easy for him to buy this kind of fairy grass. Because he said: "It doesn't matter, I will take as much as you can find, and I will accept all of them, and as for the price, it is okay to be a little higher." β
Hearing this, Ye Shi glanced at Ye Feng, and the two of them smiled tacitly. Chen Qianshan saw it in his eyes, but it was because the Ye family was pregnant with twin sons.
After sending a few people away, Dr. Zhang plucked more than ten flowers with a heartache, and asked the young man to run to send them to the menopausal woman, telling her to soak one at a time, and even chewed the flowers after soaking.
After thinking about it, he cut a few small branches with silver scissors, chopped them, prepared the medicine, and sent them to the Tan family and the shopkeeper.
In this way, he received a total of ten taels of silver.
Rao is like this, and he looks heartbroken.
On the way, Chen Qianshan saw that there was no one left and right, so he congratulated Ye, and said to Ye Feng: "What kind of flower is that, it's so beautiful, but it's too expensive, it actually costs thirty taels of silver." β
Ye Feng said: "What is thirty taels of silver, you didn't see Dr. Zhang's expression, he didn't know how many thirty taels he had to sell when he bought it." You don't see that when I just said that the flower pot was worth a tael of silver, he didn't care at all. β
However, Ye Feng is a trustworthy person, but he didn't think about ripping off the bamboo.
Seeing Chen Qianshan's envy, Ye comforted: "There are still a few pots at home, and when you get married, I will send one to my second sister." β
Hearing this, Chen Qianshan was so happy that he didn't know what to say.
When Ye said this, it was clear that he had regarded him as his own. Moreover, such a valuable flower, it is actually said that it will be sent, it seems that it is indeed right to choose a site to build a house here.
If you really want to have something in the future, it will be convenient to come and go.
The next morning, after breakfast, the people of the duck and duck village kitchen gathered together again to prepare for the cooking dinner. After all, there was a lot of meat left over the day before yesterday. The meat is marinated, but the vegetables can't be marinated as well.
The Zhu family, the Zhao family, and the big cow mother all began to prepare lunch quickly, but it was the Ye family, who sat for a while, and then was dragged to the house by everyone to rest.
Ye Shi was idle and had nothing to do, so he sat there and chose vegetables, because he inadvertently said, "It's good that you guys have gathered today." If only my sister lived nearby. β
Da Niu's mother quipped: "What are you panicking about, in a few months, she won't get married." You two live close together, and when the time comes, I'm afraid you'll be annoyed. β
Ye Shi thought about it, it was indeed the case, and couldn't help laughing.
But Chen Qianshan was serious, in fact, he had already found out that Ye Ermei was not there, but he was embarrassed to bring it up, if he dared to say it, he would definitely be ridiculed. Zheng was worried that he couldn't find an excuse, but he heard Ye say this.
The opportunity could not be missed, and he immediately said: "What is this, I'll pick her up, I'll pick her up right away." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed, because he said two times in a row that I would pick her up, and he seemed too eager.
Da Niu's mother, especially Zhao, will not give up this opportunity and make fun of Chen Qianshan together. They all think that this kind of unmarried boy is the most fun, infatuated and shallow-faced, and blushing at every turn.
Chen Qianshan just smiled, and immediately went to drive the ox cart to pick up people.
Seeing this, the Ye family didn't stop it, it was indeed a little inappropriate for unmarried men and women to meet before marriage, but now their own sister is just coming to her house for dinner, not to Chen Qianshan's house, and she is not afraid of others talking nonsense.
Anyway, Chen Qianshan couldn't help much, today was a battlefield for women, so when he went to pick up people, everyone naturally had no opinion.
And who hasn't been young, they are quite supportive of this matter.
When Chen Qianshan brought the person back, several women began to make fun of Ye Ermei again, if it wasn't for Ye's obstruction, Ye Ermei's face would probably be red all the time.
Several people made all the meat, and Ye was greedy, so he asked Chen Jixing to dig some potatoes in the field and come back to roast the meat. Other vegetables, everyone pondered and made them at will, anyway, they didn't make noodles, they were delicious and not wasted.
As for the white noodles, Ye Ermei made a noodle soup, and the rest were all made into two kinds of dumplings, meat filling and woad vegetable filling.
When all the dishes were served on the table, there were vegetarian dishes, meat, noodles and dumplings, and everyone felt very appetizing and began to eat. Because everyone was familiar with each other, and there were people talking and laughing, this meal lasted for an hour, and Zhu even shouted that he had eaten and had a stomachache.
After the meal, Ye Ermei followed Chen Qianshan to the opposite side of Chen Jixing's house to see the scene of the house. After more than ten days of construction, the foundation has already been laid, and the brick walls have begun to be repaired.
Looking at this, Ye Ermei only felt that she had never been so happy in her life. This place will be her home from now on, it's so nice.
Chen Qianshan saw that his fiancΓ©e was happy, and his heart was also sweet. After a while, he asked tentatively: "If you have any requirements and ideas, you can ask me at any time to put them forward before they are built, and I will definitely do it." β
In general, this time and space is still a patriarchal society, and it is not easy for Chen Qianshan to achieve this level.
Ye Ermei's heart was sweet for a while, and after thinking about it, anyway, the two have already made a marriage, and this house will be her home in the future, so it should be okay to put forward some opinions, so she boldly said: "I heard Ye Feng say that there is a method, that is, dig a super big and super deep pool behind the house, and in the future, all the things in the latrine will be discharged into it through a secret passage." Usually, you can cut some grass or something and throw it into that pond, which can be used as fertilizer after a long time. At the same time, it is better to build a bathroom in the backyard, it is better to build two, and it is more convenient to build it for men and women, so that it is more convenient to take a bath in the future. There was to be a place to sit in the bathroom, but the place to sit was empty and connected to the kitchen flue. That way, it won't be too cold when you take a shower. β
Chen Qianshan listened to it and thought it was very interesting. I have to say, the idea is creative, and it doesn't sound too difficult. So Chen Qianshan said: "Don't worry, I'll go to Ye Feng to ask for clarification in a while, and build it according to his words." β
When Ye Ermei heard this, her heart was almost overflowing, and she felt that Chen Qianshan listened to her opinions in everything.
Ye Shi watched from the side, and then he was relieved. There was nothing wrong with the two of them. Chen Qianshan is also impressive, everything is based on the needs of Ye Ermei, and even listens to her opinions when building a house.
It's just that it's normal to do this before marriage, after all, you haven't officially married. I hope that after the two get married, Chen Qianshan can always treat Ye Ermei like this.
