All three have been chefs for a long time, and their years in the kitchen are no joke. For how to master the heat and how to season has its own set of methods that are not passed on, otherwise Boss Wang would not have spent a lot of money to invite him back, and he was allowed all kinds of preferential treatment every month.

After tasting it, several people were a little surprised, and then relieved.

At the beginning, they thought the same as Boss Wang, that is, since this longevity fruit is so rare and unique in the world, then they should always take some valuable ingredients to match it, so as not to disgrace its uniqueness.

However, as Ye Feng said, this longevity fruit is a dish in itself, or rather, it is a seasoning, they only need to cook it in the way they cook on weekdays, and they don't have to cook it as an ingredient that is difficult to serve.

To say that this kind of ingredient is the rarest, it can be matched with anyone, and it will not dominate. Yes, it's just the icing on the cake or even the finishing touch.

Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei also tasted it, and they were immediately amazed by the deliciousness of the marinated longevity fruit. The seemingly inconspicuous long-lived fruit, the long-lived fruit that grows silently in the soil, can be so delicious.

It seems that what Ye Feng said about ten taels of silver a pound is not very outrageous.

Seeing that several people had eaten it, Ye Feng said, "Now I'll do a little investigation, which one of these dishes do you think is your favorite to eat?" ”

As a result, it is not surprising that Boss Wang and the three chefs, including Chen Qianshan, naturally liked the pot of boiled peanuts, while Qianyan and Ye Ermei liked Kung Pao Chicken.

In fact, this result was not expected by Ye Feng at all, whether it was boiled peanuts or simple fried peanuts, it was a man's favorite. If you add a few jugs of good wine, you have the potential to drink all night.

Seeing Ye Feng ask like this, a hint of strangeness flashed in Boss Wang's heart, he felt that an idea in his heart flashed away, but he didn't catch it because the time was too short, so he looked at Ye Feng as if asking for help.

Seeing this, Ye Feng said: "Boss Wang, this boiled longevity fruit is even simply boiled or fried in water, it is an excellent accompaniment to wine." Although the taste of braised fruit is better, it takes more time and effort, so I suggest that you divide this longevity fruit into three categories. ”

"Oh. Three categories, which three categories? Brother Ye, tell me about it. ”

Okay, Junior Brother Ye has become Elder Brother Ye, Second Sister Ye glanced at Chen Qianshan, and saw that the other party didn't seem to notice, so she had to lower her head and continue to eat.

"It's very simple, one is boiled in marinade, which is the kind that everyone just ate; One is boiled with water and some simple seasonings, which is simpler but tastes just as good. The last one is fried in oil. The first two are shelled, and the latter one needs to be dried and peeled off and fried, and I will teach you how to do it when the time comes. ”

When Boss Wang heard this, he was overjoyed, but he wanted to be able to order a plate of dead and expensive immortal fruits and drink and talk around the table at night. As a result, the liquor in the store is about to sell well.

Thinking of this, he felt that Ye Feng knew everything about him, and it was time to set the price, so he said to Ye Feng: "Little brother, you can directly quote the price to the elder brother, how much silver is a catty." After we have discussed, let's go to the field and take back those long-lived fruits to wash and dry. Honestly, I can't wait to do it. ”

He had a hunch that this was the best time for Liuyunxuan to become famous.

He also wants to let Lingyun Tower and Feihe Tower see, what is a blockbuster. Therefore, no matter how much silver a pound Ye Feng is immortal fruit, he will buy it all. Of course, this could not be said to Ye Feng.

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "Since Boss Wang is so bold, the younger brother will naturally not take the opportunity to raise the price." In fact, I have already thought about the price, ten taels of silver a catty. That and that, there can be no less, this is the result of my discussion with my family. ”

Seeing that Boss Wang didn't answer, Ye Feng said again: "After a large number of plants are planted in Chenjia Village next year, the price of this immortal fruit will definitely be reduced." However, this stubble is unique, and even silver can't buy it, only Liuyunxuan has it. ”

Hearing Ye Feng say that ten taels of silver a catty, Boss Wang actually had some pain, and the cost was too high.

He can see that the skin of this longevity fruit is thick, and it is actually a loss to use it for cooking, so it is better to cook it directly in the shell and sell it. However, in that case, the dishes will be more monotonous.

He quickly calculated that a pound of immortal fruit could be peeled out of a maximum of six taels, and in the case of Kung Pao Chicken, a maximum of four dishes would be made. That is to say, the price of a dish cannot be less than two and a half silver, otherwise it will be a loss.

However, this was originally sold to rich people to eat, and they just tried it and didn't mind the price, so they could sell it for five taels of silver at home, so they could make a lot of money.

Moreover, as Ye Feng said, this is unique, and it is not something that can be bought with money. For that alone, he earned.

After some consideration, Boss Wang finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, ten taels is ten taels, so when will we go?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "You can go now, but it looks like it's noon, why don't we go after dinner?" You also know that the conditions in the village are poor and very simple, but there are no good things to entertain Boss Wang. ”

Boss Wang said: "Of course, Shopkeeper Zhao, you quickly order to go down, pick up the fastest and easiest vegetables and bring ten of them, and we will go to Chenjia Village to harvest the longevity fruit after we eat." By the way, you go and get the wagon and the silver ready, and then come with us. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Feng and said, "About three hundred catties, right?" After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Da again. Zhao Tiantian understood that this was to ask him to prepare the silver.

Ye Feng said: "Three hundred catties at most." By the way, it is better to use silver tickets, of which five hundred taels are to be taken in cash, preferably ten taels and one ingots, I have a use. ”

Chen Qianshan heard Ye Feng say that he would eat lunch before leaving, and he knew in his heart that he could eat again. Anyway, the bosses of Liuyunxuan are here, and I don't think those chefs dare to slack off.

When the meal came up, Chen Qianshan knew that he had guessed well, all the things he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat on weekdays. Boss Wang said with some regret while eating: "It's a pity, although this longevity fruit is good, it is too little, it would be nice if there were more." ”

In this way, he can monopolize the peanuts in Chenjia Village for a year or more before they produce peanuts next year.

In fact, this is because Boss Wang is a little greedy and insufficient. For a big restaurant like theirs, not to mention a year, it is a monopoly business for two or three months, which is enough to make other restaurants unbearable.

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "What's this, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive." If this longevity fruit is everywhere, like the white siad, naturally no one is rare. Less also has the benefit of less, you can sell it in limited quantities every day. ”

"What a limited method, you can tell me about it." In fact, his own stomach is full of business experience, but he just wants to hear Ye Feng's opinion.

In this regard, Ye Feng did not hide his selfishness, thought about it and said, "Very simple answer." For example, boiled peanuts do not exceed two catties a day, Kung Pao chicken only makes four plates a day, and so on, so that you can sell it for a while longer? ”

When Boss Wang heard it, this was not the case.

At that time, he will make an appointment in advance, and those who want to eat longevity fruit must make a reservation in advance and give a deposit in advance. In this way, there is no fear of not being able to retain business. And this longevity fruit is just an attractive gimmick, and the other dishes in the store are not bad.

Moreover, as for the effect of prolonging life, he naturally wanted to publicize it. If you want to say that these nobles in the city haven't eaten anything, now it's just a taste and health. And the longevity fruit is both, and it may even become a status symbol.

After eating, under the leadership of Boss Wang, several people went downstairs and prepared to go to Chenjia Village.

Zhao Da had already prepared the silver and carriage, looking sincerely afraid. This made Ye Feng think of the time when he had just graduated and interned in the company, and he was not like this in front of his boss.

This Zhao Da is even better, the time to serve the table is later than several people, but he eats the fastest. By the time a few people came downstairs, he had already prepared everything, and his hands and feet were slow.

After some excuses, Boss Wang and Zhao Da took the carriage, Ye Feng and Ye Ermei Qianyan took the ox cart to lead the way in front and rushed to Chenjia Village.

When they arrived at Chenjia Village, Ye Ermei got off the bus at the fork in the road and went back to inform Ye and Chen Jixing to help, while Ye Feng and Qianyan continued to lead the way and went directly to the peanut field.

Now, just after lunchtime, there is no one outside at all, everyone is resting in the house, and it is a good time to harvest peanuts.

After a while, Chen Jixing and Ye arrived.

After a brief greeting, everyone began to pluck peanuts.

Several people knew how to do it, but Boss Wang and Zhao Da saw that it was so easy to harvest peanuts, so they also learned it. Within an hour, Ye Feng saw that he had already pulled out almost half of it, so he said to Chen Jixing: "Brother-in-law, you are most familiar with this place, have you seen half of it?" ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang hurriedly said, "I don't think there is, let's pull some more." After saying that, he worked hard, and the speed was even faster than before. Zhao Da saw it, and secretly sped up his speed.

Zhao Da knew in his heart that his boss wanted to charge some more. He had tasted those dishes just now, but the taste was not enough to sell. Now it's faster, and I can pull out a few more dishes to count a few dishes.

Boss Wang said that when this thing is done, he will give him a salary increase. That way, he can take more money home.

Chen Jixing walked to the ground and looked at it carefully, and then said: "It's not half yet, and it's almost four or five steps forward." ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder: "Brother-in-law, why are you so accurate?" You can't sell too much, and the remaining half has to be used for seeding. Otherwise, the village chief wouldn't agree. ”

Hearing this, Ye Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, what he said is right, there must have been a mark in front." Didn't you just say last night, only half of it was sold, and as soon as you left in the morning, he went to the ground to measure it, and made a mark. Rest assured, there won't be a problem. ”

Thinking of what Ye Ermei told them just now that it would be sold for ten taels and one catties, Ye said that it was impossible, and Chen Jixing was even more stunned.

I knew this earlier, so I didn't agree to the village chief before, and when the time came, I asked the village to buy it with its own money, which was another amount of money.

The reason why Ye Feng asked Ye Ermei to tell the two of them in advance was because he was afraid that the two of them would make a fuss when they checked out the bill, wouldn't that be revealing the stuffing. Ye Feng told Boss Wang that the price of ten taels and one catty was the result of discussion with his family.

After pulling it out for a while, there was a small stick stuck in the right edge of Ye Feng's insight, it seemed that this was what Ye said Chen Jixing had done.

Ye Feng walked there in advance, quickly pulled out a way out, and stood there himself, telling Boss Wang with practical actions that he could only sell so much this time.

Seeing this, although he was unwilling, Boss Wang had no way to refuse. To say that Ye Feng, this kid is smart, he directly cut off the idea that he and Zhao Da wanted to fish in troubled waters in this way.

So a few more people began to pull the peanuts from the seedlings.

After about two hours of busy work, I finally pulled out all the peanuts and filled several bamboo baskets. Chen Jixing hurriedly weighed it again, and began to weigh it with Zhao's shopkeeper.

As a result, no more, no less, it was exactly three hundred catties and a few catties. That's fine, a few extra catties, even if the weight of the bamboo basket is good, it seems to be a big bargain.

Chen Jixing, Chen Qianshan and Zhao Da were busy carrying the bamboo basket onto the carriage, while Boss Wang took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, took out a few more, counted them, and then handed them to Ye Feng and said, "Here are two thousand five hundred taels of silver." According to your request, the other five hundred taels are cash, and I will leave it in the car, and I will give it to you now. ”

Ye had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he was not very surprised when he saw the silver ticket. Ye Feng knew in his heart that the reason why the Ye family was like this was because it was a bit like modern online payment. Anyway, with a light click of your finger, you can enter the password, and there is no big feeling.

Sure enough, when the Ye family saw the five hundred taels of silver that Boss Wang took out, they suddenly became very excited, much more excited than when Ye Feng had just accepted the two thousand five hundred taels of silver.

Cash silver or something, its impact is greater than silver tickets.

Before leaving, Boss Wang repeatedly said to Ye Feng: "Then Brother Ye, we have a contract, within this year, I don't want to see any restaurant in the city sell longevity fruit." ”

"Don't worry, besides, there is also this contract as a guarantee. I don't want to pay for it. ”

After getting Ye Feng's promise, Boss Wang left satisfied.

He is now very anxious to go back and wash and dry these immortal fruits, Ye Feng can say, go again in five days, and teach them to fry peanuts.

Seeing Boss Wang leave, Ye and Chen Jixing couldn't help but get into the ox cart and began to count the silver there. In fact, it's just ten silver ingots, and there is no need to count them back and forth. But none of them had ever seen a silver ingot of fifty taels or one, and it was very rare for a while.

Seeing this, Ye Feng said: "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go back at night and see if it's okay, come down and help, let's take back all these immortal fruits today." ”

What Ye Feng didn't say was that although the peanut seedlings had been pulled, there must still be a lot of peanuts in the mud. When all the harvest is finished, come to the field and turn the ground with a hoe, not to mention more, there must be twenty or thirty catties. It's just that this is the first time to plant, I don't have much experience, many needles have fallen, and some of them may be about to germinate.

Hearing this, Chen Jixing hurriedly jumped down and helped Ye Feng pluck peanuts.

In fact, several people's hands were a little painful, but when they thought that a pound of longevity fruit would be sold for ten taels of silver, if they didn't take it home, they would definitely suffer if they were discovered, and several people began to work hard again.

Ye Shi was no exception, although she found it difficult to bend down, but she did not rest, but held a bunch of peanut seedlings as a stool to sit on, and Qianyan picked the peanuts and put them in the bamboo basket there.

It was also lucky, until the sky gradually darkened, and several people harvested all the remaining peanuts, and no one passed by.

When the ox cart came home with four baskets of peanuts, several people were so tired that they didn't want to speak, but they were all indescribably satisfied.

After closing the yard, Ye went to cook, while Chen Jixing and Chen Qianshan picked a load of peanuts and went to the lake.

Originally, they still wanted to pick up water to wash at home, but Ye Feng said: "Not this time, it's too much." Each of you picks up a load and goes to the lake, puts the bamboo basket into the lake, and stirs it slowly with a stick. Well, it's like washing sweet potatoes. Stir it for a while, and when you see that the water is not mixed, pick it up, and wash it again. ”

The two went to the lake and tried it according to what Ye Feng said, and it was really good.

When I got home, it was white and fat, and there was no need to wash it again.

Ye Ermei and Ye Feng had already found five big bamboo mats and laid them out neatly in the backyard, and when the peanuts in those bamboo baskets were almost dry, they poured them out to dry.

Looking at the dried peanuts, Chen Jixing and Chen Qianshan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and today was a successful harvest. What's more, no one found out, which saved a lot of trouble.

Seeing that a few people breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Feng said, "This is not over yet!" One is that tomorrow we need to pick out those tender ones, we cook and eat them, and after working so hard, it is time to try them, and these tender ones are not suitable for seeds. The second is that there must be a lot of longevity fruit in the mud, and tomorrow we will take a hoe to turn the ground, and there is absolutely no twenty catties. ”

Hearing Ye Feng say this, Chen Qianshan said: "I'll just say it, there must be something in the mud." This afternoon, I saw Boss Wang and Shopkeeper Zhao pulling out quickly, and from time to time I saw some longevity fruits falling to the ground, and I picked them up for a while. Later, thinking that he was in a hurry, he just cared about pulling it out and didn't pick it up again. Remember to take me with you tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, Chen Jixing took a few people to the field with hoes, leaving the Ye sisters at home to pick out the tender peanuts according to Ye Feng's words.

As soon as a few people went to the field, they saw Zhu and Huang coming from afar.

What are they doing here, Ye Feng thought to himself, and at the same time he was glad that it had been harvested, and they were all in the field, even if they were going to report or something, they would not go home if they wanted to. Anyway, Ye Feng also planned to give some to the village chief's family after turning over the peanuts in the field.

To say that the Huang family has indeed converged a lot recently, since her man joined the Yaya Township Kitchen, the business has been good recently, and the family has income from time to time, so at least he is polite to the Ye family, and he no longer wants to talk like before.

When they got closer, they saw that several people were turning over the ground, and from time to time they picked up some gourd-like things and threw them into the bamboo basket, Zhu said: "Third brother, yo, you are all here, what are you doing?" ”

She suddenly remembered the flowers and plants that Ye Feng had planted, but now they were gone overnight. At that time, Liu expressed his doubts: "If you believe him, you are an authentic fool." That kid, a ghostly spirit, never wants to suffer, how can he take such a large piece of land out to play around. According to me, those flowers and plants must be strange. ”

Looking at it now, it's not.

Ye Feng didn't plan to hide it from the two, and it was about to be made public, and it was not a secret. He knew that Chen Jixing couldn't say it clearly, so he smiled and said: "Two sisters-in-law, this is the longevity fruit, you can eat it, if you are interested, you can also rummage through it together, and what you find is your own." ”

As he spoke, he gave one of them and told him how to eat it.

By the time Zhu finished eating slowly, Huang had already joined the army of ploughing the ground, and even used the excuse that Qianyan was too small to use a hoe, so he directly grabbed it and used it himself. Fortunately, Qianyan was just playing, and it was indeed a little difficult, so he went by the Huang family.

I have to say that although Huang is usually lazy, she actually works very well, and I saw her go down with a hoe and find a few peanuts impartially, which made Chen Qianshan, who always digs peanuts in two, impressive.

Huang couldn't wait to peel one and throw it into his mouth, the work on his hands did not slow down, and he stuffed it into his pocket while digging, and said, "If you want to say that this immortal fruit is really delicious, I like it very much." Even these three brothers' family is too bad, so they haven't told us until they finish collecting it. ”

Zhu said: "This naturally can't be said, you think, if everyone knew that these were edible, it would probably have been pulled out a long time ago." Since both of them joined the Yaya Township Kitchen, the Zhu family has always inherited the love of the Ye family, and helped to say a few good words from time to time.

It was noon, but it was only a little bit of a turnover, which made Huang so tired. Seeing that he had only turned over about two catties, he suddenly thought that the Ye family must have received a lot, so he said with an idea: "Do you think there will be a lot of younger brothers and sisters?" Let's go, let's go to her house to have a look, if there is, give us a little more, it's better than turning it over here. ”

Chen Jixing was also about to go home, so he said to the Huang family: "There are indeed a few hundred catties at home, but that is for seed use." The village chief knows about this, and we will plant it in the village next year, and then everyone will share the silver together. ”

Different from Huang's unhappiness, Zhu sensitively captured the sensitive words of planting together and dividing silver, so he asked: "Third brother, do you mean that all the seeds in the family will be planted next year?" ”

Chen Jixing said: "Yes, when the time comes, find the village chief to sum up, and a piece of land in the village will be planted specifically for this longevity fruit." When the money is sold in the fall, everyone will divide it equally. ”

"Then how much silver does such a delicious longevity fruit have to sell for a pound of silver, but it can't be cheap. In my opinion, this thing is called longevity, and maybe you can live a long life if you eat it. Huang interjected. In her heart, such a delicacy is only available in Chenjia Village, even if it is sold for one or two silver catties.

I didn't know that I heard Chen Jixing say: "Yes, this longevity fruit is available in our Chenjia Village, and when it matures next year, those big restaurants in the city will definitely come to buy it, and I estimate that it will definitely be okay to touch two or three taels and one catty." ”

Even if you plant more than ten or twenty acres of land next year and produce thousands of catties of peanuts, it will not be enough to sell, even if the consumption in the city is not exhausted, those shopkeepers will not be sold to other places!

Chen Jixing's words successfully aroused the surprise of the Huang family and the Zhu family, according to Chen Jixing's statement, even if it produces 1,000 catties of longevity fruit next year and sells 3,000 taels of silver, according to the current number of people in the village, how much silver can one person share?

Huang only felt that his brain was not enough, and he couldn't count.
