Fortunately, the ox cart has not yet arrived, so Ye and Chen Jixing have time to sort out the things they bought today. Speaking of which, this time when I entered the city, the harvest was really not small.

This and that, miscellaneous, adds up to a lot.

Fortunately, there is a huge yellow cypress tree here, with thick stems and dense leaves, and the leaves are broad and green, which provides a free cool place for passers-by in the summer heat.

"Brother-in-law, this tree is so big, I think it's been a lot of years, right?"

The Ye family was married later, and he didn't think it was as clear as Chen Jixing.

"yes, anyway, I knew there was a tree when I was a kid. Actually, it's not just me, my mother said that she went into the city once when she got married, and she also saw this tree. What's the matter, can this tree also be used as a bonsai? ”

This Chen Jixing is really too sensitive, this time, Ye Feng really didn't think about it, he just thought that this tree was good-looking.

However, Chen Jixing is right. Generally speaking, because the yellow cypress tree has a peculiar shape, and many hanging roots and claws, and winding and staggered, it is full of antiquity with a little pruning, and it is very suitable for bonsai.

What's more, this yellow cypress tree has a particularly long lifespan, and it was originally a bonsai for viewing leaves and roots, so it can be kept at home for a period of time.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng replied: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are right, this tree is the most suitable for bonsai." It's just, do we have many trees here? ”

Hearing this, Chen Jixing said with some disappointment: "I've only seen this one." ”

In this regard, Ye Feng was not disappointed, thought about it and said: "It's nothing, this tree is very lively." When we leave in a while, brother-in-law, you can just break a branch at will, and you can take it back and insert it back. ”

"Really, that's good, I'll break a branch back in a while."

It's just that what Ye Feng didn't say is that this tree that lives by cuttings doesn't know how many years it will take to grow.

Ye Shi first took out a few large lotus leaves that he had just taken from the horse butcher's meat stall, wrapped the fresh pork and pork ribs one by one, and put them into the bottom layer of the back basket; Then, several large bags of braised pork were wrapped tightly and wrapped tightly.

This way, there will be no cross-flavours and no excessive odor.

After doing this, the little bag of white flour was placed on top. Finally, he went to a nearby tree and plucked a few leaves and covered them with flour. As for the cloth and other things, they were stuffed in the cracks.

Now, no one knows what's in this basket.

Seeing her do this, the three of them had a rare tacit understanding and did not say a word. Ye Feng, who had only lived here for half a year, also understood that if he entered the village with a few bags of meat like this, it would not take half a day to spread throughout the village.

When the time comes, who knows what will happen.

Poverty is not the most terrible, but the heart of a person who becomes poor because of poverty is the most terrible.

After doing this, Ye suddenly remembered something, looked around nervously, and then took out the money bag in his arms, pinched it, it was three, but he was not at ease, he opened it a little more, glanced at it, and then put his mind at ease.

Seeing this, Ye Feng suddenly remembered that he still had more than four taels of silver here, and the money he had just bought was all paid by the Ye family himself. As for the braised pork, it didn't cost a penny.

So he touched it in his arms, and only handed the four taels of silver to the Ye family.

Ye didn't postpone it, and took it and put it in the money bag on his chest.

Then, Ye Feng gave all the remaining money to Qianyan, and asked her to go to the "commissary" in the village when she was greedy, which was actually a grocery store to consume.

Seeing this, Chen Jixing coughed quite meaningfully, but Qianyan pretended not to hear anything, let alone see it, which made Chen Jixing a little helpless, but it was not good to ask for money directly.

These two children are too nonsense, this is more than two hundred yuan, Ye Feng just gave Qianyan as pocket money.

In this regard, Ye Shi only smiled, and she also felt that this was very good.

It's just that I inevitably think of my childhood again, if only I had an uncle or brother like Ye Feng at that time.

Ye Feng is not worried that Qianyan will spend money indiscriminately, she is used to saving money with the Ye family, but it is better to have money in her hand than to talk to adults about everything.

Ye Feng's only worry was that on such a hot day, those meats were wrapped in layers like that, and there would really be a suspicion of bad taste.

If you get a bunch of "stinky meat" because of this, it will be a big loss.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the ox cart came.

Sure enough, as expected, there were really a lot of people on this trip, and there was a full car. After getting into the car, Ye put the back basket at his feet at random and did not pay much attention to it. Because of the homework that Ye had done in advance, along the way, everyone didn't care about the back basket that Ye put at his feet at will.

But there was a guy with a particularly sensitive nose who insisted that he smelled the aroma of braised pork. As a result, he was unanimously "ridiculed" by everyone, saying that he was hallucinating.

Because I took the ox cart, although it was the second group of passengers, it was not too late to get home, and there was still about an hour before lunch, that is, it was about ten o'clock now.

But Ye couldn't sit down and rest, because there was still a lot of meat in the back basket that needed to be liberated and processed.

However, after sitting for a while, Ye began to take out flour, cloth, pastries, braised meat, fresh pig's head and pork ribs from the basket in turn. Of course, the bones of the big sticks cut off by the horse butcher in Chen Jixing's hand also need to be disposed of.

And Chen Jixing quickly mixed chicken food and fed the chickens and ducks.

Qianyan went into the stove and took out a dustpan specially for food, and brought bags of braised meat into the stove. Ye Feng took the stick bone into it.

Qianyan couldn't wait, picked a bag of braised pork that I didn't know what kind of meat it was, and tore open the lotus leaf anxiously. After tearing off the lotus leaves wrapped in layers, the braised meat lying quietly in it was revealed.

Ye Feng sniffed carefully, and there was no peculiar smell. However, because of the wrapping of lotus leaves, in addition to the aroma of meat, this will also have an extra fragrance of lotus leaves.

Braised meat does not need to be washed, and it is originally ready-to-eat. But fresh pork needs to be washed.

Ye Shi was not willing to wash with hot water, but just took the well water and washed it carefully. After washing, Ye cut about four catties of meat into the five catties and put them in the basin and castrated.

There is no refrigerator in this plane, and this kind of weather can only be stored like this.

The rest is almost a pound of meat, ready to make dumplings for a while.

Chen Jixing was smirking happily at the packets of braised meat, because these meats didn't cost a penny, which was equivalent to taking them for nothing. Fortunately, Ye Feng ordered a lot in one go, and looked at least five or six catties.

And these braised pork are good things to drink. He himself forgot how long it had been since he had drunk wine with braised pork.

It's okay now, it's okay tomorrow anyway, and you can drink enough tonight.

However, before he had time to be happy, Ye's words made him worried.

"How are you going to divide these braised pork?"

yes, how to divide it?

He was just concerned about his own happiness, but he forgot that there was an old lady at home, two brothers and two sisters-in-law, a younger sister, and several nephews and nieces.

According to the customs of the village, although Mrs. Liu did not separate from her two sons, and the whole family still lived together, she still had to calculate it separately when it came to dividing things.

Ye Feng understood that these braised meat would also be divided into four parts.

Perhaps because of long-term habitual problems, men's world is always simpler than women's. In other words, it's okay if you don't have to think about it so thoroughly.

For example, if you have to eat, you can eat, and if you don't, forget it.

is like these pickled vegetables, Chen Jixing may not really want to share them with others. He was thinking about how long his family would be able to eat.

Indeed, there are many times when the big family in the old house eats meat to improve their lives, and it is true that they have never thought of the Ye family.

However, Ye could never do this.

Because the matter of eating meat at home must not be hidden from the old house, and there will always be people who will go to the old house to talk about it as gossip.

I can't think of the Ye family in the old house, because the Ye family is a junior, there is nothing to say, there is no rule that says that the mother-in-law must think about her daughter-in-law when she eats meat.

However, if the daughter-in-law has good things and ignores her mother-in-law, and only knows that she will enjoy them exclusively, it will definitely not work.

Moreover, if the Ye family turns a blind eye, as Chen Jixing is happy, he likes to eat as much as he likes, and does not give the braised meat to the old mansion, in case Chen Jixing "reacts" one day, he will never blame himself for being greedy, but will only blame Ye for not being virtuous enough, not meticulous enough, and not reminding himself, he can't think of his mother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law or even nephew.

Therefore, whether Ye is out of her heart or not, whether she is willing or not, she has to say this proposal.

Chen Jixing thought for a long time, and then said: "In this way, divide this braised pork into four equal parts, one for each of the eldest brother and the second brother's family, one for the mother, and the rest for ourselves to eat." ”

Fortunately, he counted Chen Wumei and Mrs. Liu as one.

Although it was free, it was about to be divided into three-quarters all of a sudden, and Ye Feng was a little speechless. However, this blood relationship is flowing in the bones, and it is impossible to distinguish it.

Forget it, you don't need money for these meats, so you can divide them.

Because this braised pork is a pound of pieces, it is not cut well, and the pig's feet, hearts, pigs' heads, and pig's ears are all good. Therefore, Yip took the kitchen knife and began to cut the meat.

Seeing that she cut it quickly and accurately, she couldn't cut her hands without staring carefully, even if she was not worse than the chef, Ye Feng admired it a little.

If you change yourself, not to mention the uneven size of the cut, you may even get the cut.

Seeing Ye's skillful skills, coupled with Ye Feng's feeling that the food she cooks on weekdays tastes very good, and any happy events in the village are always asking her to help stir-fry vegetables, so Ye Feng suddenly had an idea.

However, the farm will be busy soon, so let's talk about it after we are busy.

Moreover, it is only before the Chinese New Year that there will be more people doing happy events, and they just have time to prepare.

After thinking about it, Ye Shi had already cut the braised pork, thought about it, took a dustpan again, put all the types in it, mixed it with his hands, and mixed it, so that he divided it into four parts.

Then, take the lotus leaves that were wrapped in braised pork before, pack three servings, and let Ye Feng and Qianyan hurry up and go to the old mansion to deliver food.

Along the way, Qianyan was a little unhappy and looked like he was in pain.

However, Ye Feng didn't think about teaching her "generosity" or anything like that. After all, you can't eat enough, so why bother to talk about those false courtesies.

And a peasant girl is too particular about etiquette, that's the biggest joke.

Seeing Qianyan pouting, Ye Feng felt funny, because he said, "Don't you say it's very reluctant?" ”

Sure enough, Qianyan pouted and nodded vigorously, and the lotus leaf wrapped in braised pork in her hand also swayed back and forth with her.

"Then let's eat a little bit by ourselves, what do you say? Anyway, they couldn't find out. Ye Feng suggested.

Hearing this, Qianyan looked at Ye Feng with some surprise and embarrassment.

I have to say that this offer is too tempting for her. She has been wanting to eat meat since she bought it from a braised meat shop, but she has not been able to eat it until now.

However, if this matter is discovered by Mrs. Liu or the Huang family, it will really be ......

Ye Feng knew her concerns, and said with a smile: "They will definitely not find out." Anyway, we give the meat, and they don't know how much, you say? ”

After speaking, Ye Feng took the lead in opening the wrapped lotus leaf, took a piece of pig's head meat distributed to the Zhu family, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Seeing his enjoyment, Qianyan couldn't help it, and also opened the lotus leaf and took a piece of pork ear meat that was distributed to the Huang family and ate it.

I have to say that meat tastes better than vegetables, not to mention the secret braised meat of Wang Kaimao's family.

With this beginning, on the way, the two couldn't help but steal three more times.

It's just that the last three times are all led by Qianyan.

Anyway, even if the Huang family and the Zhu family found that their own braised meat was less than Mrs. Liu's, it would be difficult to say anything.

When the two came to the old mansion with a smile, the heroine of the "Adoption Incident", the famous loud voice of Chenjiacun, the "Huang's Sound Pill" in Ye Feng's mouth, and Ye Feng's cheap sister-in-law Huang was taking a dustpan to feed the chickens.

Because he saw the two of them coming, he was quite disdainful. Then I thought of Chen Wumei's matter, and my heart became arrogant for a while: what kind of discussion, what kind of investigation, it's not that I can't match my own words.

Since taking the five taels of silver, Huang's mood is very good, and he even walks with the wind.

At this time, if Ye Feng knew her thoughts, let alone give it to braised meat, he would have pounced on her and beat her up. As an aunt and sister-in-law, it is estimated that there is only one Huang family in the whole village.

Ye Feng thought that the Huang family was pretending to be tall and pretending to be tall in front of the two children, so he sneered in his heart, what kind of high is pretending!

He wanted to see what kind of expression she would have when he knew that it was braised pork.

Since they were busy and couldn't spare their hands to greet them, the two immediately bypassed the Huang family decisively and walked towards the Zhu family in the courtyard.

Zhu has always been like this, he has always been a smiling tiger, and he looks like a smile to everyone. She seemed to receive Ye Feng and Qianyan warmly, but it was just a look, and she didn't let the two of them into the house to drink water, but let them stand and talk in front of the door.

She had already seen the lotus leaf bag in the hands of the two, but she didn't ask.

Ye Feng was too lazy to waste time, he still wanted to go home and make dumplings to eat.

After thinking about it, he pulled out a smile and said to Zhu: "Second sister-in-law, my sister sold a few embroideries and a bag of grain today, and got a few dollars. Because Qianyan and I are greedy, I bought a little braised meat. My sister divided it evenly, so Qianyan and I sent it to everyone. ”

After speaking, Ye Feng handed over the Zhu family's share of braised meat.

Huang originally thought that the two of them were just looking for Chen Wumei, but they came to deliver braised pork unexpectedly, which has to be said to be a surprise, or a big pie.

Huang was very happy, so he immediately came over, and without waiting for Zhu, he took his share. After thinking about it, I took Mrs. Liu's share again. Only then did he say to Qianyan: "Thank you for me, mother." It's just that this braised pork was bought from Wang Kaimao's boss? ”

As soon as Ye Feng heard it, he knew that the Huang family had leaked his mouth, which didn't show that the Huang family had gone to Boss Wang to buy braised meat.

It's just that their family hasn't even smelled the smell.

Huang naturally realized that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly remedied: "It's really a blessing to you, I haven't eaten it, but I heard people say that the braised pork of Boss Wang's house is terrible." ”

As far as Ye Feng was concerned, he didn't bother to bother with the Huang family, and he couldn't care about it. Anyway, when the meat is gone, it's time to leave.

He didn't want to stay in this yard for a moment.

As a result, the two were about to leave, but unexpectedly, there was a coughing sound in the house.

Ye Feng rolled his eyes in his heart.

This old lady Liu is not deaf or mute, she must have heard the movement in the yard a long time ago. The coughing sound clearly reminded the two that she was an elder and needed to be offered.

Ye Feng and Qianyan had no choice but to enter the back room and say hello to Mrs. Liu.

If it was empty-handed, it would be fine, but now that the braised meat has been sent over anyway, Ye Feng feels that he naturally wants to confess.

Mrs. Liu sat motionless, silent, and comforted, and then said to Qianyan slowly: "It's not easy for your father to make a few dollars, and he carries the sun on his back to the mountains during the day." It's good, I don't know how to save up and live a good life, but I bought so much meat and came back to eat. It can be seen that your mother is a loser. Say, how much did you buy? ”

looks like he owes her millions.

It seems that Ye Feng and the others don't seem to be here to deliver things, but seem to be here to borrow money.

Ye Feng wanted to say directly, in fact, your son didn't think about you at all, this was sent by your "loser" uncompetitive daughter-in-law. Moreover, the two families have long been separated, and how to spend the money earned is his family's business, and it has nothing to do with her.

But when the words came out, it was like this: "I bought a little bit of it, because I thought that the eldest brother and the second brother worked hard, and my mother was tired, so I didn't dare to enjoy it alone, so my sister specially divided it equally and let us send it over." The sister-in-law and sister-in-law have already given it to them, and your share will be held for you. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu's face was a little better.

However, she was not so high that she didn't want this braised pork, and she didn't think about leaving the two of them for lunch, so she thought about it, said "good", and let the two "go home".

Ye Feng was waiting for this sentence, and after pulling a thousand words, he walked outside the house.

Before leaving, he seemed to think of something, because he said, "Trouble the eldest lady to let the fifth sister come out and have lunch together at our house." ”

In this regard, Mrs. Liu naturally would not object.

Anyway, the braised pork has been divided, and now that her daughter has gone over to eat, she is happy to see it. In this way, the three grandchildren can also eat a little more of their own portion.

After Ye Feng and Qianyan finished speaking, they went to the courtyard and quietly waited for Fifth Sister Chen to come out.

Chen Wumei has been in the back room, in fact, she has already heard the two of them coming. Huang's sound is the best amplifier plus tweeter.

Because of what happened last time, Chen Wumei was full of gratitude to Ye, Ye Feng and Qianyan, but because Huang always said that he had been going out a lot recently, he would definitely be taught bad by his third sister-in-law, so he didn't dare to go out and stayed at home all day to work as a female worker.

Zhu called Chen Wumei out, and got Mrs. Liu's permission, and the three of them walked back together.

When he got home, Ye's had already chopped the fat and thin pork, and Chen Jixing went to the field to pull back a few woad vegetables that were also washed and cut cleanly, and the stuffing was ready, and he was preparing to make dumplings.

Because Ye Feng and Qianyan were walking in front, and Chen Wumei was closing the door in the back, neither Chen Jixing nor Ye saw Chen Wumei.

Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "It seems that it's really time for us to come back, come on, let's pack it together." Sister, brother-in-law, I called my fifth sister to come over and eat dumplings. ”

Chen Wumei entered the kitchen at this time, called Chen Jixing and Ye respectively, and sat down with a few people to start making dumplings.

Chen Jixing is naturally responsible for lighting a fire and boiling water, watching a few people smiling and wrapping dumplings, the atmosphere is very good.

Ye Feng was a single dog in his previous life, so his life skills were almost zero. Moreover, he had never seen his family eat dumplings since he came here, so he took it for granted that everyone should not be very good.

As a result, unexpectedly, the worst of the bag was Ye Feng.

Needless to say, Chen Wumei and the Ye family are all in a thousand words. Presumably, this is a skill that women are born with.

At the same time, this also made Ye Feng feel more and more that his previous idea was playful.

Because Ye's chopped meat is about more than a catty, and there are also many herbs, there is a big pot when the stuffing is adjusted.

Ye Feng felt that with so many fillings, he didn't know how many dumplings to wrap, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish one meal.

However, if you can't finish it, you can fry the leftover dumplings in oil at night to make them delicious.

It's just that what happened next made Ye Feng completely understand how naïve he was, and of course, he also completely understood what it meant to "get Longwangshu" and "be insatiable".

Talking and laughing, after a while, the four of them made more than 100 dumplings.

The dumplings are all full, and everyone is willing to put the ingredients, which looks very cute. However, there are also some strange shapes in this pile of dumplings, which look very incongruous here.

These dumplings are naturally wrapped by Ye Feng.

However, although the dumplings made by Ye Feng were the least attractive, he did not follow the convention, and wrapped various shapes such as ingots and boats, which made Qianyan love it, and shouted that she wanted to eat "a boat" for a while.

Hearing this, Ye nodded her forehead and said dotingly Silly child. Suddenly, a little white appeared on Qianyan's forehead.

Chen Jixing saw that everyone was packing quickly, so he estimated the opportunity to start boiling water. As soon as the water boiled, Ye began to take the wrapped dumplings and throw them into the pot. Prepare to wait for the first pot of dumplings to come out of the pot, and then continue to wrap the second pot, eating while wrapping.

As a result, less than two minutes after the dumplings were put into the pot, the door of the house suddenly "creaked". Ye Feng then remembered that he had taken Qianyan to deliver braised meat before, and when he came back, it was Chen Wumei who walked last.

It seems that she should have simply closed the door with no bolt.

Hearing the knock on the door, several people looked puzzled, and even Chen Jixing was a little strange.

It stands to reason that neighbors will not come to the restaurant unless there is something particularly urgent, which is a "common practice" by everyone.

Chen Wumei was the first to react, but she didn't speak, only looked embarrassed. Ye Feng couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily: "It will come at this time, there is no one else, it must be the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law." ”

Seeing that Chen Jixing's face was a little embarrassed, he swallowed back those "unpleasant" words, and only stood aside and stared at the door of the stove room, but did not speak.

Ye naturally knew in his heart that he would not come early or late, but he would come at the meal, and there was no other purpose.

As soon as the words fell, Guo saw that Huang and Zhu took a super large porcelain bowl, twisted and walked towards the stove.

Ye Feng's face was so black that it couldn't be darker anymore.

He and Qianyan had obviously taken the braised pork just now, but these two people were not eating at home, and they were still thinking about other people's homes.

This is simply the best interpretation of "eating from the bowl and looking at the pot".

And these two bowls look really big and a little scary, such a big one, it's still a porcelain bowl.

The Ye family's household is all worthless pottery bowls, not so magnificent.

That's fine, if you want to eat, then it's better to come over early to help make dumplings, which is reasonable. These two immortals are good, pinch the point, and the dumplings will appear as soon as they are in the pot, which is more accurate than the alarm clock.

Sometimes Ye Feng really wondered if there were two of them undercover in this family.

Seeing that Ye was putting dumplings into the pot, the two of them were excited. When I saw the wrapped ones on the table and not put them in the pot, I felt even more confident in my heart.

In their opinion, there are still a lot of dumplings on the case, and they are just a little bit.

At that moment, Huang said: "Third brother, there has been a lot of work in the field recently, and your eldest brother always shouts that he is tired and panicked, and his heart is tired and his heart is beating. Our hill has not seen the oil star for a long time. Give me the first pot. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye, he knew that Chen Jixing was just an ornament at the critical moment.

Before Chen Jixing could react, or say something, Zhu Shi was not to be outdone: "Then give me the second pot." My mother hasn't eaten yet, and your second brother has just come back from the field, and they're all waiting for me to bring some food back. ”

The room was suddenly silent, and no one spoke.

Huang Zhu didn't seem to notice it at all, only stretched his neck and looked at the dumplings that were gradually tumbling in the pot. When the cold water mixed in by Ye for the third time boiled again, and the first pot of dumplings could be out of the pot, Huang took the bowl and took the initiative to step forward.

To Ye Feng's surprise, Huang's bowl was called an evil one, and the size was just right. The first pot of dumplings was all packed in, and only one remained.

Ye Feng thought that there was only one left, and he didn't take all of them.

As a result, Huang was not afraid of being hot, so he first poured the dumpling left and right with his hands, and then stuffed it into his mouth at once.

In Ye Feng's stunned, Huang took the bowl and walked first.

Then came the second pot.

Although Zhu's bowl was a little smaller, it was just a little smaller, and when it was halfway through, Zhu carefully poured out the soup in the bowl, and then continued to serve.

In the end, there were two left.

Ye Shi didn't think about it, and directly took the bowl, one for Ye Feng and one for Qianyan, only saying that the two children had been hungry for a long time, don't be hungry. Then, she and Chen Wumei continued to make dumplings.

When the third pot of dumplings was cooked, a few people ate the soup.

Originally, today's dumplings were full, and there were even leftovers. It's good now, this amount is enough for a few people to eat seven or eight points full.

However, although everyone's mood has been greatly affected, but because this dumpling is hand-wrapped by a few people, the filling is full of ingredients, the vegetables are fresh and tender, a bite down, full of meat and vegetables, gradually, the food soothed the depressed hearts of several people, everyone was happy while eating, talking and laughing.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be still able to eat, Ye thought that there was still braised meat, so he took it out again. Chen Wumei was a little embarrassed, she didn't eat the braised pork, and went back after a while.

Chen Jixing took out the wine and drank it with braised pork.

To Ye Feng's surprise, Ye Shi was also a drinker.

Seeing her and Chen Jixing drinking together, Ye Feng pulled out a thousand words. Chen Jixing and Ye were obviously unhappy just now, but for the sake of face, they seemed to be able to only keep it in their hearts.

Now that the two of them have started drinking, can they use wine to talk to each other and vent a thing or two?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng took Qianyan out to play.
