Chapter 154: Win-Win?
There are many women who cook in this world, but the chefs are almost all old men, and there are many women who can tailor, but the more famous old men also account for the majority.
No matter how high the cooking skills are, they disdain to make it for outsiders to taste; No matter how good the tailor is, he only gives the needle and thread to the people who are concerned about him, and they regard these as special areas, specific people, and specific relationships, so that they are fortunate to enjoy and are qualified to enjoy. As for the god of food and Parisian fashion, where the men broke their heads, they didn't care.
I once had a colleague who never crowded the canteen or went to the restaurant with us old bachelors; Every afternoon, the large lunch box with layers, the microwave oven of the public house, the layers are opened, and three or two steaming, attractive aromatic home-cooked side dishes make everyone salivate.
If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour, and this psychology does not distinguish between genders. So rumors about someone's petty family anger and fear of guilt rippled. Single, envy is a little, but this kind of person is more or less contemptible, and people are calm, laughing and never reasoning with us. At that time, I thought it was the kind of soft person, so I despised it even more, but now that I have become a family, I know the benefits and understand the original mentality of others. If you don't reason with us, it's not a fear of things, it's completely a posture of contempt, contempt, and no need to reason with idiots. Thereupon...... But I don't have the conditions to bring a lunch box to the unit now!
Ying's cooking skills are good, and the second daughter is also very good, when she is free, she is in a good mood, and she will personally cook two small dishes and bring them out for me to taste. The food cooked by my wife, the taste is secondary, the important thing is the atmosphere, feel the unique warmth of the family, you can't buy it with money, no matter how good the cook is, you don't care what the guest is. I used to know a very famous old chef. Family handicraft, almost 200 years old brand in the faΓ§ade, a month of 100,000 to the family money, but the old guy has never cooked at home in his life, when he goes home, he calls his mother-in-law to the next noodles, serves an old bowl of oil noodles, spicy mixed red red, squatting on the threshold of his own family to pull the oily face. Feng Ren praised his mother-in-law for her good position in the kitchen. An acquaintance wanted to ask why he didn't do it himself, and the old cook said: "How can I compare with my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law, and eat what I make when my brain is in water." The others were furious: "I'm in the water in my brain, what's the matter!" β
Ying is in a good mood today, and the second daughter helped her solve a big problem, so. I cooked a few side dishes to make up for the loss of my lunch not being good. In this era, aquatic products were scarce, especially in Guanzhong, and dried seafood was rarely used in aristocratic banquets, but the off-season cultivation technology has a long history in China. There are winter vegetables, but the price, I only eat them, I don't ask.
In this era, more attention was paid to agricultural development. The traditional out-of-season cultivation techniques have been improved and renovated, and a special organization in charge, the "Onyukan", has been set up to preside over the development of this business. The base is located in Lishan Mountain, which has extensive hot spring resources, and similar to those spring recesses of Wangjia Villa, their main task is to be responsible for using special geographical climate or hot spring water to irrigate vegetables and fruits, so that they are "ripe from time to time". The inner garden is divided into warm soup, and the melons have been entered in mid-February. "It was a model for the time. At the beginning, Ying wanted to learn from the "Wen Tang Supervisor" to develop and plant some vegetables in her own villa, but it was difficult for the official to dig up talents. The iron rice bowl served by others was unwilling to go to the landlord's house to be a vegetable farmer, and no matter how much money he took, he lost his identity, so he had to end hastily. In winter, the vegetables eaten on the small stove at home are all special offerings bought by a wealthy sister. In the winter, it is very face-saving to have a guest or something, and to put a few small dishes of green vegetables.
"The leeks have been fried, pay attention next time." I took a leisurely sip of my wine. He put another ear in his mouth. Crispy. "Yes, that's good. Thankfully, I got the pig's head and the water back in the middle of the year. Come, taste them all. The dirtier the place, the more fragrant it tastes, and the fat sausage is also eaten, and the second daughter eats it first. β
Ying is still a little unaccustomed to these, and the second daughter and I secretly ate them when we went out, which can play a helping role. Ying reluctantly put a small circle in her mouth, as if I forced her to kill herself, chewed it hard and swallowed it, let out a sigh of relief. "It tasted weird and delicious. The second daughter will eat more if she likes it," said and flicked a few chopsticks into the second daughter's dinner plate in a row, "The husband also eats more, this is the second daughter's own hand-blended," put the remaining half of the plate directly on my side, and said with a smile: "The concubine has been greasy and stained a lot recently, so I want to eat some food." β
I didn't eat the taste, it was delicious, and I was relieved to finish distributing it. "I usually eat more meat, look at how thin you are, and your arms are not as thick as the second daughter." Ying belongs to the slender people, and the proportion of plump and beautiful women who are not yet popular in this era is not large, but there are signs of development towards this trend. Nutrition is the key, it is still early from the Tang Dynasty, and the improvement of life is only food and clothing, fat people are not eaten in one go, and the principle of letting a small number of people get fat first is the same as in the early days of reform and opening up.
The knots in Ying's heart were untied, and she took advantage of the festivity of the New Year, drank a few glasses of wine, and the second daughter was forced to drink a small cup, the Yun family didn't know what the New Year's ceremony was, but ...... It's a relief.
Yun Yatou also brought a generous gift to the door to thank her during the New Year, and spoke highly of the Wang family's selfless help to the Yun family in the past year, and extended a helping hand to the Yun family to tide over the difficulties. Class feelings? Who has ever seen such deep class feelings? Indeed, if Ying's attempt is not counted, the Wang family is not selfless and can be evaluated, it is simply a living Lei Feng in the landlord class. The money and food are all taken care of, including breeding technology and product sales, and even the foreign debts of the Yun family, which is very high.
Yun Yatou is still grateful in addition to gratitude, and it is not clear what she thinks after gratitude. Anyway, if anyone is so good to me, I'll think about why. Yun Yatou is not an idiot, her IQ will not be much lower than mine, but Ying is an insurmountable existence for her, and women have seen a lot of tricks with smiling faces but guarding against each other and even-for-tat, although they are in a weak position, they will never be restrained.
The second daughter seems to have made a bold strategic idea on the problem of the Yun family, I don't know the specific situation, the two women muttered one afternoon, I was warm under the sun, and accidentally fell asleep...... However, judging from Ying's expression, the second daughter's method is still promising.
"Husband. Let's go to the villa in two days to rest, and we will have to get busy after fifteen and eleven," Ying poured me a glass of wine, "There are more things to worry about this year than in previous years, and cotton alone will not save trouble." β
"Don't worry," he took a drink from his wine glass, and said with a pout: "In the days when I sowed, I went to greet him personally." You and your two daughters stayed at home for less than ten days. There is nothing to do with our family under the seed, the court has its own skilled hands to take care of it, and the farmers just follow the learning, and they will be old in a year or two. The key is that there must be a boundary to deal with the picked cotton in the future, and it doesn't matter if the yield is small in the first two years, it is still distributed to pick seeds and spin threads, but if you want to make money from this, you have to demarcate a good place. It's too far away on the side of the Feng River. There is no place to put our Zhuangzi, so we have to sum it up. β
"What's in total, Yunjiazhuang is so big, it's enough." Ying seemed to have taken down the Yun family, "The purchase price of the fourth egg is so high. That's planned. The eggs have been stored for a long time, and in the future, not only in the capital, but also in the earth, I will spread out to the north and south. It's a bit of a merit. This year's price increase is an example, this spring comes, there are not a few people who are red, there are definitely more chickens, and the eggs in the capital are full, hehe......"
"I'm afraid I can't do it for a year, right?" It's not an industrial chicken raiser, baking a cake like hatching chickens, as many as you want.
"Not in a year. But in two years, it's definitely a lot. Ying patted the second daughter's head and said with a smile: "Clever, you can't be stupid." The Yun family and the fourth child are now verbally agreed, and the concubine is ready to let the fourth child make a written contract for a whole year, with this contract, the Yun family has taken the bottom, and she dares to raise more chickens, as long as there is no chicken plague. Then she's been so moisturized this year. β
"That's it. Sell as much as you want, and the price is still guaranteed. Raise everyone aside. "The fourth child has long had this plan, that is, he is going to go to the Yun family at the beginning of the year to make a note, "The note should be there, why only book it for one year?" You must know that this summer's chicks will be the best time to lay eggs until next year, and if you want to order it, you can order it for two years. β
"Just one year, the second daughter said, hehe." Ying was happy when she mentioned this, and diligently poured me a glass of wine, turned her head and served the second daughter a dish, "She will definitely add a lot of chickens back this year, not only her Yun family, but also the surrounding ones, and maybe even farther away." The feed workshop over there is booming, and it is still the same way, taking the family's feed land to buy, and the feed money is deducted from the eggs, except for the Yun family. β
"It should also be excepted, people are also maggots to raise, we limit the feed is not to ensure the quality of the eggs, as long as the egg quality is good, there is no need to be too strict." The fourth child is now making money at both ends, not to mention the risk of raising chickens, but also reducing the cost of recycling in disguise.
"Except for the Yun family, it's just talking, and the princess Zhuangzi also raises feed, so let's not take it right. In the year after tomorrow, we can find fault with her feed, and there is an excuse not to make a contract with her family. Ying and the second daughter glanced at each other with a wicked smile, and couldn't help pinching the second girl's little face.
"Why don't you order it again? You two are bad enough. "I finally heard the doorway, I married two mothers-in-law is like marrying two time bombs, and I have to do sabotage once a while." It's not good, it's better to light the Yun family with a fire, it's too ruthless. "This year, we only discovered the benefits of raising chickens, and began to hatch a large number of chicks to raise them, and when the chicks began to lay eggs, more than half a year passed, and the effect will not be achieved until next year. Signing this contract with the Yun family seems generous, but in fact, it only has the effect of reassuring the Yun family, and the profits will not improve much, and it is just to lay the foundation for the coming year. In the coming year, everyone's chickens began to lay eggs desperately, egg production rose suddenly, and the price would definitely drop significantly, and the fourth child terminated the purchase contract with the Yun family...... The only way for the Yun family is to engage in the wholesale and retail business of fresh eggs like most people. If you sell one or twenty other land, you can't sell it out or not, it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect your life; But the Yun family is different, she is the capital, just rely on this to support the family, more than 100 eggs per day, this year will definitely increase the number of chickens, by next year is estimated to be more than 200, a day or two to say, can not be sold can still be put away, a long time, there is no preservation measures, how much is this side, how much is bad there...... Thinking about it, his head is big, "No, even if you want land, you can't do this way, it's too lacking in morality." Tomorrow, I will find the fourth child to come over and say, either the contract is not made, or it is booked for two years, and according to the method of the second daughter, it will be killed! The lives of the three sisters and brothers! The little doll didn't offend our family. β
"I know that my husband said this." Ying smiled and gave me a blank look, "It's not that it can't be solved." Leave her alive. As long as she obediently sells the land to our family, she will be guaranteed the contract for the next five years. Yun Yatou is a clever person, and she will definitely be able to see the benefits after raising chickens, which is more profitable than farming. Without land, she can still raise chickens to make money, and she can still live and nourish; But without chickens, it is impossible for her Yun family to turn over from the fields. The money and food that the concubine gave to the Yun family was originally a ten-month period, but now she is simply generous. Extended to the beginning of spring next year, with the contract time of the fourth child, the two sides will be attacked, and the cloud girl who keeps her will be caught. Hehe...... Haha......"
"It's also a two-sided attack, and it sounds good......" I glared at Ying fiercely, oh yes, I forgot the culprit, turned my head and glared at the second daughter again. Lack of virtue on both sides! It's a pity that you two don't want to be ringing horses," twisted and lifted the second daughter's low little face to look at it, with big eyes, a tall nose, and a red and tender little face. The little mouth of the pout, how can it be seen that they are all flowery girls who exude a youthful atmosphere, "It's not easy, this brain." It's a pity not to build an atomic bomb. β
"What's the egg?" Ying is now sensitive to eggs, so she asked, "Is it delicious?" β
"It's delicious, it's delicious. However, only the Japanese people eat it, and the people in other places do not have that blessing. "I really dare to say this, I can finally despise someone who is more ignorant than me for once, a big white eye, "It looks like an egg." As soon as the shell is cracked, mushrooms grow indiscriminately, and the boss is one. β
"It's definitely not a good word," Ying smiled and pushed me, "Don't worry about it, husband, the Yun family is thorough." This is much better than the concubine pinching her neck now, which is a good thing for both families. Her family lost the opportunity to turn over, and our family lost eggs and fertile fields. She just resents us, we have to cooperate with the fourth, don't she? β
"Alright. Use the means, don't be too bad. Pinch the weight. Ying's words also make sense, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the Yun family has no land, which is not necessarily a bad thing, so you can devote all your energy to the cause of poultry breeding. The so-called "no break, no stand", this is the truth. Ying talked about the big truths one by one, and just told others about it. She still thinks that land is more important than money, and she is rushing to make money from the Yun family to collect the land, hehe. There is also a second daughter, who has been with the fourth child for a long time, and these doorways are also clear, if she is released to be alone, she may not be worse than the fourth. Not many people can think of this bad idea, and I may be able to, but I don't want to think about it; The fourth child may be able to, but he will not think so badly, the businessman is not false, but he knows mutual benefit, and uses interests to drive the other party to comply; The second daughter is different, open-minded, others dare not think, can't bear to think about it, she has no problem, she is not very old but has unique insights and decisiveness, it is really a pity to only be a concubine for me.
Ying is different from the intelligence of the second daughter and the fourth child, but has an amazing ability to learn and imitate, the Wang family was just a broken household at the beginning, and the merchant was born in the first place, Ying did not have extensive knowledge, and the second did not have outstanding talents, but in just one year, she successfully entered the social circle of Chang'an noblewomen, and was at ease. Looking at the current Ying, who would have thought that a year ago she was still a vain little woman who smeared white putty on her face like a powder wall, especially the first time she accompanied her back to her parents' house, the rise of smearing powder, even I didn't let go of that time, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Sometimes I have to admire, strong adaptability and excellent comprehension, in the face of the princess and all kinds of county lords and county lords, there is no restraint at all, and the people who associate with Ying have long forgotten her identity as a merchant girl.
"What do you want?" Ying saw that I was distracted, so she took a bowl of hot soup and handed it over, "While it's hot, don't worry too much, the concubine knows when to use what method, and she will never lose her reputation because of this matter." Guarantee to let the cloud girl personally come to the door and send the title deed respectfully. β
"No, I think something else." The second daughter was secretly taking the meat on the table and feeding it to the needle nose, and Wangcai was very envious, looking at it with her tongue stretched out. is worthy of my mother-in-law, even the nurse learned so similarly, threw a piece of meat to Wangcai, and said with a smile: "Stinky girl, even the dog is so clear." β
"I've seen it for a long time, pretending to be a ghost." Ying poked a finger at the second daughter's head, "I haven't seen such a bad thing, I don't care about the New Year, I am becoming more and more bold, and I don't even avoid people." β
The second daughter laughed stupidly, and secretly asked the needle nose to walk away, so as not to be retaliated by Ying.
In the future, if Ying and her second daughter both give birth to children, the two mother-in-law and a short father will not be able to leak anything. Don't raise it for the scourge of the countryside. With my personality, I guess I'll help the kids fight in groups outside...... That's it. There is also Lanling, if she wants to have one with me, it will be even more of a headache, Lanling will let the children be both civil and military, I will help go out to fight in groups, and then, my children and I will develop towards the side of the capital's bullies, plus the promotion of several mothers, the Wang family will have a bad reputation from now on!
I didn't dare to think about it, I was too scared, I shook my head, and retracted my thoughts, "In the future, whether at home or outside, you must convince people with virtue, and you are not allowed to have bad problems with protecting your shortcomings." Second daughter, what about you, don't you say that you will feed Wangcai, why don't you listen? Ying, don't laugh, why are ants knocking down the embankment of a thousand miles, have you heard of it? "As he was talking, the needle nose bit Wangcai, this is worth it, I'll fight!
