Holding rice noodles, carrying meat, and carrying snacks, Aunt Cha Wu felt that she had never raised her eyebrows like this. Since she got married, she has had endless farm work every day, never able to handle housework, and tired of dealing with disputes between her two sons and other people's families.

When did she have a huge sum of more than 20 taels of silver in her hands?

Thinking of this, thinking of their feet and shoes that Feng Er had inadvertently mentioned just now, Aunt Cha Wu said arrogantly: "Big sister, let's go, let's buy a new pair of shoes." You know, what I hate most is making shoes. And I'm so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground, where do I have time to do it? ”

Hearing this, Fan said, "Shoes? I don't have to buy it, I still have it at home. In this case, I will accompany you to buy it. ”

Anyway, it's still early, even if you don't buy anything, it's okay to go shopping.

Fan's mother-in-law has good eyes and is a diligent person, and she almost covers all the cloth shoes of the family. Today, the reason why she wears straw sandals is entirely because of the convenience and economy of traveling.

Aunt Cha is not good, she is clumsy, except for making shoes for her two children and her husband, she has hardly done it for herself.

When I arrived at the place where the shoes were sold, Aunt Cha Wu picked and chose and bought a pair of the cheapest embroidered shoes, thinking that they would be worn when they went to the market or went to a relative's house in the future. Fan was tempted for a while, and saw that the flowers were good-looking, so he bought beaded flowers. But it's not for herself, it's for her daughter Chunhua.

Speaking of which, the children in the village are all thousand-character generations, but Fan felt that he really couldn't come up with a good name, so he made his own decision to come up with this name. As for his son Qianfeng, he is still a thousand-character generation.

Without him, this was caused by her mother-in-law herself.

As long as her daughter's name sounds good, she can naturally intervene. However, it was not her turn to come up with her son's name.

After the big purchase, both of them spent less than a tael of silver, thought about it, and were proud again, and went back to the city gate in an ox cart.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two said goodbye happily, and then walked towards their respective homes with large bags.

The Fan family was naturally happy, and her mother-in-law, the Wang family, knew that she was going to take the longevity fruit to the city to exchange for silver.

Seeing that there was meat and rice and noodles in Fan's hands, Wang knew that this was done, so he put the soles of his shoes aside, hurriedly stood up and asked, "How much silver did the longevity fruit exchange?" ”

She also joined the ranks of digging the ground to find peanuts yesterday, so she is naturally looking forward to it.

Hearing this, Fan couldn't help but be glad that he had already told Aunt Cha Wu that he had unified the caliber, and no matter who asked, he said that it was three taels of silver a catty.

Therefore, the Fan family took out the seven taels of silver that had been prepared in the car and handed it to Wang: "Mother, the village chief didn't lie to us, it's really three taels of silver a catty!" Then, here are seven taels of silver, you can take it. By the way, I bought some rice, flour and meat with the rest of the money. You know, Jining has been working very hard recently, my mother is tired of making shoes every day, and Qianfeng is shouting to eat meat, let's improve the food. ”

With silver and meat to eat, Wang's mood is naturally good, and Fan's everything is based on her and her sons and grandsons, where to find such a good daughter-in-law.

So he completely put down the soles of his shoes and helped Fan Shi go into the stove room to clean up.

For a while, it was also enjoyable.

Aunt Cha's family was not so lucky, and she met the Huang family before she got home. Seeing the Huang family's gloomy face, Aunt Cha Wu was a little weak-hearted, and her heart was probably known by the Huang family.

If you want to look at the entire Chenjia Village, except for the spicy goods with extremely strong combat effectiveness, she is not afraid of anyone. It's just that this Huang family has always been good friends with her, and he is also an unforgiving mouth.

Although you won't lose if you quarrel with her, everyone knows that Huang's mouth is powerful, and she can turn everything out for you, and anyone can pass it on to you, it's just a moving human flesh horn.

Thinking of this, Aunt Cha took the initiative to greet her: "Sister Huang, where are you going, let's go, go to my yard to drink water?" ”

Glancing at the big bag in the fifth aunt's hand, Huang said in a weird manner: "Yo, who am I, it turned out to be you." I don't dare to go, you and the Fan family sister have left me to go to the city to make a fortune. Look, these hands full of meat, rice, and noodles are exchanged for silver. Hum! ”

Aunt Cha knew that the Huang family was unforgiving, but she didn't succeed in her heart, so she said this just because she and the Fan family didn't call her together, so it would be good to coax her.

Thinking of this, Aunt Cha said painfully: "Big sister, you have wronged me as a sister." The sister of the Fan family got up early, but she didn't dare to go alone, so she ran away with me, saying that she wanted to come back early after changing the silver. You see the sun is poisonous, and we want to come back sooner. If she hadn't pulled me, I'd have wanted to call you. ”

Seeing that the Huang family was somewhat relaxed, Aunt Cha said again: "If you want to say, this time it is really thanks to you, we only shaved a pound of longevity fruit and exchanged it for three taels of silver." Well, how about having a meal at my sister's house at noon? I bought meat. ”

Hearing this, Huang's anger disappeared by half, but it was impossible to stay to eat. Just like that, she didn't pay attention to it. Since Chen Jiwang started cooking, the number of times he eats meat at home has also increased.

Even the leftovers you get back are definitely better than this.

After talking for a while, Huang left happily.

Looking at the departing Huang family, Aunt Cha breathed a sigh of relief. It's still Fan's smart, if she knew that today's longevity fruit was not three taels of silver a catty, but seven taels of silver a catty, maybe how to make trouble.

In fact, Huang can't be blamed for this.

In the morning, she had nothing to do and picked Zhu's thorns. Anyway, it's not pleasing to the eye to look at the Zhu family, it's not right here, and it's wrong there.

In the end, the Zhu family couldn't stand it, and no matter what the Huang family thought, he said directly: "Sister-in-law, it's not me who said you this time, you shouldn't have told Aunt Cha and the Fan family's sister that they could go to the field to grow fruits." You don't know, they are now going to the city to exchange money. On weekdays, I look close to you, but when it comes to this critical moment, I don't quietly throw you down and run away. Hey, after all, we're a family. Look at the last time I cooked, if it wasn't for the third brother's guarantee, I don't know if the eldest brother would be able to enter the village kitchen......"

These words can make Huang angry, but what Zhu said is true, and he said it in front of Mrs. Liu. Therefore, the Huang family just lowered his head and kept silent, but he hated the Fan family and Aunt Cha Wu in his heart. estimated the time, and only blocked two people at the entrance of the village.

Who knows, Fan's luck was good, and he walked fast, and he was in a hurry to go home and hide the private money, but he missed it. Therefore, the Huang family only saw Aunt Cha Wu, and this is the scene just now.

If the Fan family is also there, the Huang family can't handle it.

A few days later, when Chen Jixing's peanuts were about to dry, Liuyunxuan sent a carriage to pick up Ye Feng, and according to the previous agreement, he went to Liuyunxuan to teach the chefs to make fried peanuts.

This time, Ye Feng only called Ye Ermei to follow.

First, she likes to cook very much, and it will definitely not be a bad thing to learn more skills, and she can go back to her parents' house to teach a few younger sisters and even the Lin family. Take the chef who was good at making noodles last time, he just showed his hand, and Ye Ermei learned seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Second, Ye Feng felt embarrassed to call others again. Speaking of which, they've already eaten for free twice, and it's not good to go again. And there are three thousand taels of silver in the house now, and I can't buy anything to eat.

When they arrived at Liuyunxuan, as soon as they got off the carriage, Ye Feng and Ye Ermei were unexpectedly surprised to see Boss Wang and Zhao Da Shopkeeper waiting at the door. Counting the fact that several people are already very familiar with each other, so there is no excessive greeting and embarrassment, and after a little chat, Ye Feng went directly to the back kitchen.

Picking up a peanut, Ye Feng shook it and heard the sound. I peeled it off and tasted it, and it was indeed dry, so I said to Boss Wang: "This level is fine." However, remember to store it in a cool, dry place and never get wet. ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang half-jokingly said: "Haha, where is the opportunity to give them moisture, they will be used to cook soon." Brother Ye, you are also stingy, obviously you still have a few hundred catties, but you just don't sell them to me. I'll raise the price again, and you sell it all to me, how about it? ”

Ye Feng said, "Boss Wang laughed. Those are all seeds, and if they are eaten up this year, there will be no more. Let's do it, next year, if Boss Wang still wants it, we will give priority to selling it to you, how about it? ”

Boss Wang said: "Is this true? That's it. ”

"I can still call the shots." Anyway, selling to anyone is selling. Of course, if the price is reasonable, so much the better. Anyway, I didn't sign a contract, so let's talk about it next year.

Then, everyone followed Ye Feng and began to peel peanuts.

The reason why Boss Wang didn't peel them well in advance was because he was afraid that these peanuts would not be dry enough to meet Ye Feng's requirements.

In fact, in modern times, fried peanuts are made in almost every household, and it is just an extremely ordinary civilian delicacy.

However, it still takes skill to fry peanuts to a crispy, color not blackened, and to keep them crispy for a long time and taste refreshing. In addition to technique, heat is also very important.

This time, since he received a high price from others, Ye Feng naturally would not hide his secrets, and Ye Ermei was still watching and learning.

Seeing that there was almost a bowl, Ye Feng asked everyone to stop. Three hundred catties of fresh peanuts is a lot, but in fact, if you really want to start cooking, you can't sell it for long. Today is just a demonstration, and if you can save it, you can save it.

While washing the peanuts, Ye Feng said: "After peeling it, wash it with water first, dry the water before putting it in the pot, otherwise it will be burst." ”

"If you want to say that this immortal fruit is clean and clean, and there is a layer of shell on the outside, why do you have to wash it again?"

"Oh, the reason why I washed the longevity fruit in advance was not because it was dirty, but after washing it like this, it was not so easy to blow black."

Listening to Ye Feng's explanation, several chefs nodded.

If Ye Feng didn't say it, they would just blow it up like this, blowing up a pot of black ones, and Boss Wang would definitely eat them.

"Next, light the fire. Note that the fire should not be so big, otherwise it will be easy to paste. yes, you take a few more pieces of that carbon. ”

"Okay, now pour the oil, be careful, don't wait for the oil to burn before pouring the longevity fruit, pour it now, stir, stir-fry, so that there is oil on each longevity fruit."

Ye Feng said while operating, the chefs felt that it was nothing, it was easy to understand, just remember the skills. Ye Ermei watched carefully, for fear of missing any detail.

After a while, Ye Feng said, "Listen, everyone, can you hear the crackling sound?" At this time, the fire cannot be continued to be lit, but the fire must be removed. ”

"So it's cooked?"

"Almost. However, don't rush to get out of the pot, just leave it in the pot for a while. ”

After a while, Ye Feng picked one and tasted it, feeling that it was almost there, so he picked up the high wine that had been put aside a long time ago and said, "After it is fried, drop a few drops of wine into it, so that the fried longevity fruit will be more crispy and not easy to regain moisture." That's right, sprinkle a little more salt. ”

After saying that, he grabbed some more salt and sprinkled it in.

Then, Ye Feng took out another pottery plate and served it, and then said to a few people: "That's okay, isn't it very simple?" ”

It's really simple.

But several chefs knew in their hearts that if they didn't know those skills, the fried immortal fruit would definitely not look so good.

Ye Feng took the peanuts and said to a few people: "Let's go, let's go to the hall and sit down and taste the taste." ”

After speaking, he said as if unintentionally: "This plate is not white enough, if only the disk were good, it is just right with this." Not to mention the taste, just looking at it is already pleasing to the eye. ”

Ye Ermei, who said what she said, blinked, she understood that Ye Feng was inducing Boss Wang to buy porcelain.

If you want to say that this peanut rice is naturally for those who love to drink, they are all drunkards, and their attention is on wine and things, who cares if your plate is a disk or a clay plate.

But Boss Wang eats this set.

In his heart, his Liuyun Xuan is no worse than Feihe Tower and Lingyun Tower, but what people eat is the environment and style. But from this point of view, the extravagantly decorated Liuyun Xuan is indeed inferior.

So he said directly: "You are right, I always feel that there is still something missing." Where are the disks sold? Before the business came to the door, I also bought some and came back to prepare it. ”

Ye Feng was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said, "If you want to talk about this disk, I really know." Several times a year, I go to Taojia Village to make pots. Speaking of which, the disks fired by the pottery master's family are the most exquisite. The fly in the ointment is a bit far away. ”

"Hey, what are you afraid of, drive the carriage, one day is enough."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Isn't there someone in our village who cooks and often runs around. According to them, there is a family in Yejia Village who is helping to sell, and it is said that they are some distant relatives of Master Tao. If you want, I'll ask someone to say it, and I'll send it right away. Just don't know how many sets you want? ”

"Then let's have twenty sets first." Boss Wang said boldly.

Hearing this, Ye Ermei was pleasantly surprised. As soon as Boss Wang made a move, he asked for twenty sets, that is to say, her mother's family was about to have twenty taels of silver.

Zhao Da was even more dumbfounded, what is a sale, this is it.

From the back kitchen to this hall, the total has only walked a few steps, and Ye Feng has already quietly sold twenty sets of porcelain.

What kind of distant relatives, the ghost believes it, I'm afraid it's Ye Feng's own relatives. However, he can only pretend that he does not know. Anyway, it costs money, and it is indeed cheaper to have someone deliver it to the door than to take a car to Taojia Village.

When he arrived at the hall, he picked up a place and sat down, and Ye Feng asked a few people to taste the taste of fried peanuts. Speaking of which, these four red grains are in good condition, like red beans, but because they are four, they are not as big as three and two peanuts.

However, a few people who had never tasted fried peanuts were immediately conquered as soon as they ate them. Especially Boss Wang and Zhao Da Shopkeeper, they couldn't stop talking. Both of them are people who love to drink a few sips, and they immediately understood the power of this fried peanut.

Boss Wang had studied in a private school, and for a while he wanted to give this fried peanut an elegant name, and he thought about it at once, but he couldn't think of anything famous for a while, so he asked Ye Feng casually.

Thinking of the famous peanut brand in later generations, Ye Feng smiled and said: "Since it is born for drinking, it is better to call it the drunkard's longevity fruit." It's just that, in this way, I'm afraid that some people will object. By the way, you see that this longevity fruit is red, like a red bean. Therefore, I think it is better to call it fried acacia. ”

"Fried acacia? Why? ”

"In the past, I flipped through the ancient books and happened to see a poem cloud, red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. Persuade you to pick more, this thing is the most lovesick. Since the red bean represents acacia, and we are frying the red bean again, I call it fried acacia. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, if it is called the drunkard's longevity, I am afraid that those sour and rotten scholars will not do it. It's the best way to call it fried acacia. You think, when people are lovesick, they will be lovesick. Isn't it like frying in oil in a pan? Okay, that's the name. ”

"Boss Wang, if it's to increase popularity, it's actually okay. Let the guests who come to the store every day to consume a poem, which must be related to lovesickness. Once every seven days, the winner will receive a table of banquets for free. As for whether to send the longevity fruit, it depends on Boss Wang's mood. ”

"Well, that's a really good idea."

Zhao Da, who had been listening to the side, was also amazed, and forgave Ye Feng a lot for taking the opportunity to sell the disk just now.

If the activity he proposed was somewhat elegant, it would not only appeal to those who like to read books, but also stimulate their competitive spirit. The banquet is small, the key is to win.

In this way, no matter who wins, all Liuyunxuan needs to pay is a table of wine, but it will take countless people seven days. No matter how you look at it, Liuyunxuan has made a lot of money.

To say that Ye Feng really has a few brushes.

At the beginning, he thought that Ye Feng was just relying on his ancestors to accumulate virtue and leave a few rare seeds, so that he could become a blockbuster. In this way, he turned out to be a full reader of poetry and books. Although he didn't know how to read poetry, Ye Feng just read it sounded so good.

Seeing that the plate of peanuts had already been eaten, the sharp-eyed little guy served tea and various pastries for a few people to chat while eating.

Picking up a piece of pastry, Ye Feng said casually: "You have all learned the dishes I know, it's just that Boss Wang has planned it, what should I do with this immortal fruit banquet?" ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang said: "I'm worried, if the younger brother has any good opinions, just say it." Afterwards, I will be thankful. ”

He was about to ask, but Ye Feng said it himself, which saved him from asking deliberately.

Hearing this, Ye Feng said, "I've never held such a grand banquet, so I can't talk about it." But I proposed before that you invite celebrities from all over the county, did you invite them? ”

Boss Wang said: "Not yet, because I really don't have a clue." According to what you said, you must invite the county magistrate's family. When the time comes, those official wives and ladies who have heads and faces will be able to say that they will just go upstairs. It's just that how can ordinary people sit, it is impossible to sit with the magistrate, right? Since we don't sit together, how can we reflect what you said about having fun with the people? ”

As soon as Ye Feng proposed the concept of "having fun with the people", Boss Wang immediately agreed. He has been running a restaurant in Qingshan County for many years, so he naturally knows the preferences of those officials.

That Baizhi County seems to be incorruptible, but in fact, it has not done anything practical for Qingshan County at all. As for asking about cutting Kang bran some time ago, it is said that it was the master's idea. Therefore, he failed to pass the three-year imperial court examination.

If he holds a banquet and can make Bai Zhi County happy with the people, then Bai Zhi County will not only come, but also thank him.

Just, what to do.

Let ordinary people sit with Bai Zhi County, he doesn't dare. Anyway, he had been discussing with Zhao Da for several days, but he still didn't have any clue.

Zhao Da was also curious, he wanted to see how Ye Feng solved this problem. And if this problem is solved, they can naturally start to do something special.

But what they didn't know was that they had unknowingly fallen into the "trap" set by Ye Feng. Ye Feng wanted to help them, but he still had to achieve his own goals.

He wants to sell bonsai at this banquet, and he also has to find relatives.

Pretending to think about it, Ye Feng said: "This problem is actually not difficult to solve, but let's talk about the layout first." Boss Wang, I can say whatever I want, don't you mind. I said a long time ago, I have never held such a banquet, so what to do in the end, it is up to you to decide Boss Wang. ”

As soon as he heard Ye Feng say that this problem was not difficult to solve, Boss Wang was overjoyed and felt that what Ye Feng said was just modest words. How did he know that Ye Feng was telling the truth.

He really didn't understand the rules of this plane, as well as the things and taboos that needed to be paid attention to.

Anyway, he is only responsible for saying his thoughts, as for whether it is feasible or not, then let Boss Wang and Zhao Da refer to it on their own.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said: "First of all, I want to ask, if all the people you invite come to participate, how many floors can you probably sit on?" ”

After thinking about it, Boss Wang said, "It will definitely not exceed three floors." ”

Hearing this, he pondered for a long time before Ye Feng said: "Then that's it, let's arrange for the most ordinary people to sit on the first floor." On the third floor are the ladies and ladies sitting. As for the second floor, Bai Zhixian must sit inside, and so do officials. ”

"Then it's not fun with the people, is it?" For this proposal, Boss Wang and Zhao Da were a little disappointed, they thought that Ye Feng had some amazing suggestions, but they didn't know that this was the case.

"I'm not done yet. After this arrangement, let's select a few representatives from the first floor and let them come to the second floor to dine with the magistrate. Of course, there are two ways to select this selection criterion, one is to let the magistrate choose by himself, and the other is to choose a few clever people who know a little about poetry and books. ”

In fact, Ye Feng also wanted to say that when necessary, he could choose a few scholars to pretend to be Xiaomin. In this way, nothing is lost.

But he wouldn't say that kind of thing.

When Zhao Da heard this, he almost wanted to applaud Ye Feng.

He and Boss Wang thought about something that they hadn't solved for a few days, and they actually solved it all at once, no wonder he said that this problem was not difficult at the beginning.

It's just that among the two methods Ye Feng said, although the second one is safe, it is inferior. The first one was very clever, but how did he speak?

Thinking of this, Zhao Da said, "Brother Ye, just tell us, how to operate the first method?" ”

He was sure in his heart that Ye Feng had a way.

Ye Feng didn't sell it, and said directly: "Then you have to work those ordinary people on the first floor." Boss Wang, when you invite people, you should pay attention, invite some from all walks of life, and when the time comes, you will say to the magistrate, downstairs are people from all walks of life that you have carefully selected, and there are three hundred and sixty lines. If the magistrate is interested in anything and wants to know, he will call people from any industry. ”

"Wonderful! It's just that what if the county magistrate is interested in the industry, and that person just can't speak? ”

"It's simpler. People from all walks of life, you have to pre-elect a representative. In this way, no matter how the magistrate chooses, the person who comes up anyway must be the one you choose. ”

Boss Wang and Zhao Da were fascinated by what he said, and it was a god to say that this idea was amazing. What is foolproof, this is called foolproof.
