"Knock knock~" Early in the morning, Zhou Kuiruo had just carried the rice bucket into the pot and steamed, when there was a knock on the wooden door of the Zhou family.

"I'll take a look." Chun Tao continued to prepare the ingredients, and Zhou Kuiruo went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a middle-aged man with a dark face saluted Zhou Kuiruo. "Excuse me, is this the Zhou Mansion?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Kuiruo didn't answer, just looked at him vigilantly.

"I was entrusted by the shopkeeper Qi to deliver food to Mrs. Zhou."

"Please come in." Zhou Kuiruo let down his guard and let the middle-aged man carry the burden into the courtyard, Chun Tao looked at the man suspiciously, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhou Kuiruo.

"This is the vegetable farmer who was entrusted by the shopkeeper Qi to deliver vegetables to us, and he has not yet asked for his name."

The vegetable farmer saluted Chun Tao again, "Hello madam, the little surname is Wang, you can just call me Lao Wang." ”

Lao Wang looked much older than Chun Tao, but he bowed down and spoke, which made Chun Tao very uncomfortable. He replied lightly, and stepped forward to check the vegetables in the burden.

"I'll go inside and get the money, you wait."

"Good!" Zhou Kuiruo went into the house to get the money, and after Chun Tao checked the vegetables, Lao Wang nodded with satisfaction when he saw her, and without waiting for her to say hello, he picked the vegetables into the stove room again, took them out one by one, and put them away.

"That's... You... You have... Balls... Cowpea? ”

"Cowpeas? Yes, but not much, how much do you need? ”

"A lot... Very tender... Arrive... to no. And then... Cabbage. ”

Regarding Chun Tao's stammering, Lao Wang didn't react, wasn't surprised, and didn't ask much. "Cabbage is no problem, when you sow seeds after a while, you can make smaller ones, as long as you are not afraid of more."

"Don't be afraid."

Zhou Kuiruo took the silver out, heard the conversation between the two, handed the silver to Lao Wang and said, "Brother Wang, don't call yourself 'small', our husband and wife are not rich or bosses, we can't afford it, and we are not used to being called so." ”

Lao Wang was a little embarrassed, scratching his head, at a loss.

"It's all from the villagers, if you don't dislike it, call me Kuiruo." He pointed to Chun Tao and said, "Just call her Chun Tao, don't call her Mrs. anymore." ”

When Chun Tao heard this word again, she couldn't help but feel a little upset, and turned around and went into the stove room.

"It's... That's not good! Otherwise, call you Zhou Lang, and call Mrs. Zhou the lady, so that you will not lose your manners. ”

The lady of the Zhou family is not bad. Zhou Kuiruo was secretly happy because of this title, and the smile on his face was a little sincere. "Okay, then you go slowly."

"Howler!" After sending Lao Wang away, Zhou Kuiruo entered the stove room again.

"What just happened? Look at you don't look right. Recently, for some reason, Zhou Kuiruo is very sensitive to Chun Tao's emotional changes.

Chun Tao neatly washed all kinds of vegetables in his hands, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Do you say that people can be separated from the world?" ”

When Zhou Kuiruo heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment. "Naturally not. Perhaps, but not easily. ”

"Why?" Chun Tao stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhou Kuiruo intently.

Zhou Kuiruo looked back at Chun Tao, and this time neither of them avoided it. "If you can leave this world, you must be a person who wants nothing. But this world is full of desires, how can they get rid of it. ”

Zhou Kuiruo smiled lightly, and while talking, he pulled a strand of spring peach's scattered hair behind his ear. "Even monks can't help but associate with people and turn into good karma."

"No, although the monk interacts with people and turns into relationships, he is not wronged by human feelings."

"You're really stupid, aren't you?" Zhou Kuiruo smiled dotingly and poked Chun Tao's forehead with his hand, Chun Tao was patiently trying not to pat off Zhou Kuiruo's fingers, so naturally he didn't notice any difference in his smile today.

As for Zhou Kuiruo himself, he didn't find out, and still said his own words. "How do you think so many temples came about? It's all the monks' readings, in exchange. ”

Out of respect for the monks, Zhou Kuiruo replaced "desire" with "thought".

"The temple was built with people's respect for the Buddha, how can it be related to the monks." Chun Tao tried her best to defend the monk, which made Zhou Kuiruo a little flustered.

Could it be that she wanted to twist her hair and become a nun. "Where do people know about the Buddha? From the monks. Since he is a Buddha, he can stay in his heart, so why bother to build a temple? It's just that the monks want more people to worship and believe in the Buddha. ”

"That's when Buddhism was first introduced, and that's not the case anymore."

"How not? So why do people now invite monks to come to their homes to recite scriptures and pray whenever there is something white in their homes, and then give the monks money for sesame oil? This back and forth, coming and going, isn't it the so-called sophistication? ”

"That's just exceedance for the past."

"Then you shouldn't take that sesame oil money."

"But monks also have to live, how can they live without money?"

"They can grow on open land and be self-sufficient. That's why I said it's hard to be sophisticated. Unless you live alone in the mountains and forests and no longer interact with people, even monks and nuns cannot avoid this. ”

"Crooked!" Chun Tao faintly felt that there were some places that she could refute, but she couldn't think of it for a while, so she could only end the argument hastily and make food.

Zhou Kuiruo knew that he was cheating, and said that there was indeed something wrong, and he didn't say anything more for fear that Chun Tao would react. Anyway, he just wanted her to dispel the idea of twisting her hair and becoming a nun.

"Sister Chuntao, did you do this?" At lunchtime, when Chun Tao opened all the lids, October pounced directly.

"Hmm!"

The cold dishes prepared by spring peach are: cold lotus root slices, spiced peanuts, cold shredded potatoes, cowpeas, lettuce with scallion oil, pickled peppers.

Meat dishes include: fried chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, braised pork ears, braised pork, braised duck.

Since it is mainly for midday business, there is plenty of time to prepare spring peaches, which can make so many dishes.

"But will anyone eat this chili? So spicy. September looked at the small portion of chili peppers and was a little worried.

"Yes!" Chun Tao has observed that there are one or two people who have a strong taste and like heavy spicy, so they prepared this.

"Hostess, you're really amazing. I just said yesterday, and today you can get it done. Zhao Da was the first to squeeze over, looking at the dazzling array of dishes, very amazing.

"Of course, Sister Chun Tao is the smartest." October patted his chest and gave a thumbs up.

Looking at his sister who didn't remember anything about the whole day, September shook his head helplessly and took out a new price list.

"Vegetarian dishes are all two pennies?" Zhao Da looked at Chun Tao in surprise, and September urged him to continue reading.

"One piece of meat and vegetables, one piece of soup, and four pieces of rice per person? Why is this meal so expensive? Zhao Da was one of the few literate people on the dock, and as soon as he finished reading, the rest of the workers exploded.

"Uncle Zhao, didn't you see the words on the back? You can add rice three times, which means that one bowl is just over a penny. And there are also white rice, two for one person. ”

"Although the people on this dock have a lot of food, there is no one who can eat three bowls at a time like me! Also, what is the difference between this dish of rice and white rice? ”

"Look!" September opened the lid of the rice bucket, and the rice in the bucket was mixed with green vegetables and red and white meat grains.

Looking at this dish, Zhao Da's face was finally not ugly. "The proprietress is not afraid that only people will buy food and not your food?"

In fact, Zhao Da asked in vain, Chun Tao would not answer, and the answer was still September. "Naturally I'm not afraid, where can you uncles bear to do this!"

As soon as I said this in September, where would someone buy food instead of vegetables, it was just a matter of more vegetables and fewer vegetables.
