Chapter 14 Xia Yifan sent soybeans, and Shen Wenjun returned to the village
Old man Shen's words made the two brothers nod their heads again and again, and they all said that they would look at Old Lady Shen. Old Mrs. Shen pulled her face and didn't say anything in front of her son.
The Shen family has eaten the Su family's dowry in the past few years, and it is about to come to an end!
When Mu Chenglin came back, Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin were cleaning vegetables in the yard, and Shen Yunxi was sitting in the yard chatting with them.
Seeing that Mu Chenglin was back, Shen Yunxi asked excitedly, "How is it?" ”
Mu Chenglin put down the back basket, and then closed the courtyard door, "A pound of bean sprouts is set at 20 yuan, and an agreement has been prepared." Xia Gongzi also said that two hundred catties of soybeans and stone mills would be sent over in two days! ”
Shen Yunxi grabbed Mu Chenglin's arm excitedly, "Really, really?" Hahaha, a pound of bean sprouts costs 20 yuan, Xia Yifan is really cheating! ”
Mu Chenglin was also a little happy when he saw her so happy, but he couldn't help but be a little disdainful, "Xia Yifan is not easy to deceive, because he likes other ways to eat your soybeans, and there are fresh ingredients out of his hands, and he can earn several times!" ”
"For example?"
"For example, a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, he may sell it for a plate of 100 yuan."
“…… Profiteer!!! ”
Because Shen Yunxi had an injury on his arm, today's sauerkraut, as well as vinegar, were all done by Mu Chenglin with his mother and younger brother.
After doing this, he made a few wooden frames according to Shen Yunxi's instructions, Shen Yunxi said that this is used to put tofu, Mu Chenglin doesn't know what tofu is, but now he supports Shen Yunxi very much!
Although Shen Yunxi is just a small village girl, her endless ideas can help him take his mother and younger brother to live a better life.
In the past two days, the two hundred catties of vegetables have been harvested, Mu Chenglin settled the money with several families, and Aunt Huang sent a lot of vegetables for him to eat fresh. Aunt Yang gave him a few more corn cobs and asked him to bring them back to cook.
Shen Yunxi looked at the jar in the backyard, her heart was very steady, after Mu Chenglin came back, she asked Mu Chenglin to take out the bacon, wash it with water, and dry it.
Mu Chenglin went to the mountain again to find a lot of fruit tree branches and a lot of sour fruits, and built a vacant land next to it to smoke bacon.
There are many grass and trees on the mountain, and it is easy to catch fire if you are not careful, which is why Shen Yunxi was reluctant to make smoked bacon at first.
Early in the morning two days later, Xia Yifan sat in his luxury carriage, pulling two hundred catties of soybeans and a stone mill, preparing to go to Aoki Village.
If the practice of developing several soybeans can be developed, it will be an unprecedented incentive for the agriculture of the entire Xia Kingdom, and many new species have been introduced by the caravan in recent years, but unfortunately no one can find the best way to eat them.
Even potatoes with such a high yield were left out in the cold because they were easy to sprout.
Xia Yifan's car had just left Qingfeng Building when someone blocked the way, "What's the matter?" Xia Yifan asked coldly.
The coachman lifted the curtain and said, "Childe, there are two scholars in front of me, saying that they are going to Aoki Village and want to take a ride!" ”
Xia Yifan frowned, he didn't want to sit with these sour people, and besides, there were so many soybeans in the back of the car, and they saw it again, and his head hurt when he heard it.
"Give them ten cents, and let them go to the donkey cart by themselves!" Xia Yifan said.
The coachman took out ten pennies and gave them to the two scholars, and then raised his whip, and the carriage drove away.
The moment the carriage started, the curtain moved, and Xia Yifan saw the two scholars through the curtain.
One is about twenty years old, slightly fat, and the other is about a teenager, thinner, and both of them have the taste of a reader.
However, the two of them were gorgeously dressed, and the older ones had a valuable jade pendant pinned to their waists, which looked like the things of the former nobles.
Such a car has no money and needs a ride?
Xia Yifan sneered in his heart, "I guess I fancy him for this carriage, right?" Such people hold their own identities and do not want to ride in donkey carts with the villagers. Whenever there is a break, the money is almost spent, and there is no money to hire a carriage. I happened to see his carriage, so I wanted to prostitute it for nothing! ”
Shen Wenjun looked at the ten cents in his hand, the luxury carriage that drove away, and scolded angrily in his heart!
The last time he went back, he hired a carriage, and it was not good in the village, but this time because he went to a restaurant for dinner, the money was almost spent, so he didn't have the money to hire a carriage.
You won't let him squeeze the donkey cart with those stinky villagers who can't read a single word, right? Those people also deserve to sit in a car with him Shen Xiucai?
"Fourth uncle, if we don't take the donkey cart, we can't walk back, right?" Shen Zhenyu pulled Shen Wenjun, he was so worried that the fourth uncle was really going to go back.
He and his fourth uncle have been studying since they were children, where have they come so far?
Of course, it was impossible to walk back, Shen Wenjun thought of an idea.
"Uncle Zhao!" Shen Wenjun walked to the entrance of the town and said hello to Uncle Zhao, who was driving the donkey cart. Uncle Zhao was also particularly surprised, Shen Wenjun, who used to have his nose pores facing the sky, would take the initiative to greet him today?
"Can I discuss something with you?"
Uncle Zhao was somewhat flattered, "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Wenjun took out five copper plates, "I have covered this donkey cart!" ”
Uncle Zhao immediately laughed, Shen Wenjun deserved to be a talented person who had read books.
Let's not talk about whether his five copper plates are enough, just this morning, he pulled a cart of people over, he threw these people in the town, and he wrapped the donkey cart to Shen Wenjun, which is immoral!
How will he still be in the village in the business of donkey carts?
Uncle Zhao smiled and waved his hand, "Shen Xiucai, this can't be done, why do you have to wait for other people to come together before you can leave, besides, you only need two cents for one person to take a ride, and for the two of you, four cents is enough!" ”
After speaking, Uncle Zhao found a penny to give to Shen Wenjun, and Shen Wenjun immediately shouted, "Zhao Wu, don't give you a shame, those stinky villagers are also worthy of riding in a car with me Shen Xiucai?" Do you know how expensive the clothes on my body are? If you break it in the push, shoving, and shoving, can you afford it? ”
Uncle Zhao gave all the four copper plates to Shen Wenjun, "Since this is the case, Shen Xiucai will go find another car!" There are quite a few villagers who came to town this morning! Your clothes are expensive, don't spoil them! ”
Where else could Shen Wenjun go to find a car, except for this donkey cart, he could only walk back.
Shen Zhenyu pulled his clothes, Shen Wenjun pulled his face and gave Uncle Zhao four copper plates, and then pulled Shen Zhenyu to find the best position and sit down.
After the luxurious carriage of the Xia family entered the village, it caused a lot of sensation, and everyone rushed to tell each other, and for a while, the girls in the village came out to watch in all their costumes.
Even Shen Pingping, whose face was still swollen, stood in the crowd with a silk flower.
With such a luxurious car, the owner must be worth a lot of money, and I don't know who they came to Aoki Village for!
The coachman lowered his head and asked the nearest girl about the location of the Mu family, and the girl happily pointed out a location for him, "The Mu family lives on the mountainside, and the carriage can only drive to the foot of the mountain over there!" ”
There are also bold girls who heard that the carriage was going to the Mu family, "The son inside, what are you going to do at the Mu family?" Come to the slave's house and sit down! ”
"That is, except for Shen Yunxi, who has just married, there is only Aunt Mu in the Mu family, although Aunt Mu is good-looking, but unfortunately she is a little old!"
Everyone laughed, and at this time, two strong men stood out from behind the carriage, which frightened the little girls at once, "We went to Mu's house just to deliver goods!" ”
Shen Pingping looked at the soybeans and a stone mill pulled behind the carriage, and guessed that the Mu family must have thought of some good idea, but unfortunately it was early yesterday, and the old lady Shen suffered a loss in the Mu family, and she would definitely not go again today.
The carriage went in front, the girls chased behind, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage stopped, and Xia Yifan walked out of it.
As soon as Xia Yifan came out, everyone gasped, young, handsome, this dress is worth a lot of money at a glance, and the jade pendant on his waist is even more dazzling than what Shen Wenjun often takes out to show off.
and the temperament around him, if he hadn't grown up in a big family, his aura wouldn't be so strong!
When did the Mu family know such a person?
Thinking that the Mu family only came to Aoki Village a year ago, maybe they had a lot of background before, and now the Mu family is going to get better and better.
No, such a handsome and rich man came all the way to the door in person in a carriage to deliver goods to the Mu family.
A few people looked at Shen Pingping, who had a blue nose and swollen face, to know that Mu Chenglin originally wanted to marry Shen Pingping, but she was a demon herself, and wanted to occupy Shen Yunxi's marriage, so she knocked Shen Yunxi unconscious and stuffed it into a sedan chair!
Xu Zihui is not calm, she was overjoyed when she saw Shen Wenjun like that before, but the old lady of the Shen family kept hanging them, and she didn't say yes or no.
She is fifteen years old this year, and she can't delay any longer, if she can marry the son in front of her, Shen Wenjun will have to stand aside.
In order to please Mrs. Shen before, her mother offended Shen Yunxi, but now that she thinks about it, she is really stupid, she wants to get the favor of this son, and now only Shen Yunxi can help her!
There is also Shen Xiujuan, she didn't have much feelings for Cui Zixuan, after Cui Zixuan was admitted to the top of the Xiucai list, her mother had this idea, before this, the Shen family also had scholars, and Cui Zixuan was not in the eyes of the old lady at all.
But compared with Xia Yifan and Cui Zixuan, one is in the sky and the other is in the quagmire! She Shen Xiujuan has such a rich dowry, so she doesn't want to marry Cui Zixuan, she wants to marry Xia Yifan.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiujuan immediately turned around and walked home, before Xia Yifan left, let her mother go to Mu's house to find Shen Yunxi, and let Shen Yunxi match her!
Xia Yifan took two strong men, Mu Chenglin heard the wind and hurried out, and the three big men carried the soybeans and stone mills to the Mu family little by little.
Shen Yunxi looked at this scene, and secretly cheered in his heart, when he had money, the first step was not to expand his business, but to build a house at the foot of the mountain.
In winter, it was very cold on the mountain, and I don't know how the Mu family came over last winter.
Now that autumn is approaching, she needs to hurry up and build the house before winter comes.
It was rare that Xia Yifan would come as a guest, Shen Yunxi thought of a few recipes, and then asked Mu Chenglin to help.
Xia Yifan didn't mention the eating of soybeans, he saw Mu Chengjin reading in the yard at a glance, he liked it very much, and chatted with Mu Chengjin.
Shen Yunxi asked Mu Chenglin to go to the river to catch a fish and catch a wild duck, Shen Yunxi went to look at the sauerkraut, although it is not fully ripe, but the temperature is high these days, you can eat a little.
She went to pick fresh mushrooms and prepared the ingredients for the side dishes she was going to use.
Under the guidance of Shen Yunxi, Mu Chenglin sliced the fish into slices, the fish slices were marinated with flour and wine salt, the sauerkraut was chopped, oil was poured into the pot, the oil was hot, the sauerkraut was poured and stir-fried, the chili pepper and other peppercorns were added to taste, the water was added after stir-frying, the fish bones and sauerkraut were put in, the water boiled and then waited for a few minutes to take out the fish bones and sauerkraut, and then added the fish slices, and took them out after scalding, sprinkled with green onions and chili peppers, etc., poured hot oil, and the fragrance directly filled the whole yard.
Xia Yifan and the two strong men frequently looked inside.
The salted duck and pheasant mushroom soup had long been stewed in the pot, and Mu Chenglin made stir-fried rabbit meat and steamed a large pot of rice.
The practice of sauerkraut fish and salted duck is also the first time that the Mu family has tried.
Shen Yunxi ate it, because there is no vegetable oil and no soy sauce, the sauerkraut fish tastes a little worse, but for these Xia people who can't make fish, it is really delicious.
In one meal, the Mu family's big pot of rice was all eaten, and the two strong men licked their tongues unsatisfactorily, Shen Yunxi was speechless, there was not much left of the ten catties of rice I bought a few days ago!
Xia Yifan didn't mention the practice of soybeans to the Mu family from beginning to end, and finally Shen Yunxi mentioned that if it was successful, the finished product would be sent over early tomorrow morning.
Sure enough, the corners of Xia Yifan's eyes lit up!
Before leaving, Xia Yifan said that he wanted that kind of sauerkraut, which is not a fresh vegetable, but it is not a pickle either.
Shen Yunxi smiled, "Young Master Xia, today's sauerkraut fish is what I used to sell sauerkraut, but the sauerkraut has not been fully fermented, and when it becomes more delicious, even if you don't say it, I will take the initiative to come to the door!" ”
Xia Yifan smiled, "Okay! Then I'll be waiting for your good news in Qingfeng Tower! ”
Shen family, Shen Xiujuan lost her temper, don't eat, Mrs. Shen was persuaded by the side, Shen Xiujuan didn't eat, and no one else could eat, except for Shen Wenjun and Shen Zhenyu, who came back from Xiu Mu.
The younger Shen Zhenwen and Shen Zhenxing cried and made trouble, and Li and Liu comforted them respectively.
"Mother, haven't you seen the appearance of that Xia Gongzi, who is tall and handsome, and the clothes on his body are more expensive than the fourth brother!"
Shen Wenjun, who was picking vegetables in the bowl, came back and heard that a luxurious carriage had come to Aoki Village today, with two hundred catties of soybeans and stone mills behind it, and he knew that this carriage was the one that refused to carry him in the morning!
Now that his sister said that this son is so good that he is about to compare himself, Shen Wenjun threw the chopsticks, "Don't eat it!" ”
There are also a lot of vegetables on the chopsticks, and when he threw it, the oil was splashed everywhere! Everyone else sitting at the table pulled their chairs back.
"Oh, my good boy, why don't you eat it?" Seeing Shen Wenjun throwing the chopsticks, the old lady was very distressed and hurriedly asked.
"Mother! What do you think my sister said? I'm also a scholar, a showman, what kind of Xia Gongzi is just a businessman, I can't compare to him? ”
