Yu Hai, the head of the family, bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said: "How about we knock down the old house and build a new five-room house after the spring plowing, and then widen the yard... No, the yard wall is newly built, so It’s too much work. Why don’t we overturn the old house and build a three-room house next to it, with a stone wall, so that Xiaosha won’t have to worry about the house when he gets married. And make a door in the middle, so it’s easier to come and go!”
Yu Xiaocao really didn't want to get too close to Zhang and Li, so she put forward different suggestions: "Father, I think we should save more money and ask San Shao to give us a house in the town." , and then buy some fields around the town, and we can settle down in the town! In the future, Xiao Shitou will spend a lot of time studying in the town, and it will be more convenient to go home!"
After hearing this, Liu Shi felt a little moved. Little Shitou Kaichun was only six years old, and she was studying alone in the town. As a mother, she was always thinking about her little son.
Yu Hai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly, and said: "Dongshan Village is our root after all, you are still young, and you don't have a deep understanding of the truth of 'the homeland is hard to leave'. Besides, your grandfather is still here Well, there is no reason for a son to enjoy happiness in the town while an old man suffers in the countryside."
Xiao Shitou frowned, pouted and said, "But my uncle is in the town. He eats good rice and noodles every day, and he can often eat meat! Xiao Doudou's clothes are no different from those of the young masters in the town. There is also a girl serving him. He can live in the town, why can't we?"
Little Shitou studied in Rongxuan Academy for less than a month, and his uncle Yu Bo went to the academy to look for him three times. Although Rongxuan Academy does not prohibit relatives and friends from visiting, if it is too frequent, it may leave a bad impression on Mr. Xiao Shitou also reminded my uncle cryptically, but my uncle didn't seem to hear it at all, and didn't consider his feelings at all.
Once, he happened to meet Mr. Dean at the gate of the academy, and Mr. Dean stopped to talk to him cordially, and was praising his second sister for her cooking skills. At this time, the uncle came over, and after introducing himself, the uncle didn't even look at him at all, and only talked to the dean courteously. The dean obviously didn't want to talk to the uncle, he kept flattering him without winking. What a shame!
After the dean left, my uncle invited me to his house for dinner for the first time that day. There is no coarse grain in their kitchen, only white rice and flour, a large piece of meat marinated in the jar, and chicken soup in the pot. It is even more exquisite than the food eaten by the rich households in the next village!
Thinking about it, before the separation, their family had no enough food and clothing, and the money they saved was used for my uncle to live like a gentleman in the town, Xiao Shitou felt extremely sad. The chicken soup and fried meat at noon tasted tasteless!
"Our family puts all our hopes on your uncle. Your grandma points out that your uncle was admitted to Juren and became an official, so she can find an official wife. Naturally, you will not lose your uncle! "Yu Hai explained somewhat palely.
Xiao Lian curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Uncle is all supported by the family, so he can still live in the town. Why can't we buy a house in the town when we earn money by ourselves?"
"...Actually, our Dongshan Village is close to the mountains and the sea, and the villagers are also simple and enthusiastic. If there is something wrong, everyone can help each other. Isn't it better than living in a town with a black eye?" Yu Hai really I am a bit reluctant to part with the village where he was born and raised.
It has been more than half a year since Yu Xiaocao came to this world, knowing that the ancient people had an extraordinary attachment to their homeland, so she no longer forced herself to do so. She thought for a while, and said, "Then build the house first, and after selling the vegetables in the backyard, we will buy a house and fields in the town!"
"Second sister is mighty! Second sister is such a local tyrant!" Xiao Shitou was influenced by Yu Xiaocao's ears and eyes, and from time to time, one or two strange words popped out of his mouth, and everyone was used to it.
The silver is still concentrated in Xiaocao's hands for safekeeping. Yu Hai also pretended to be disappointed and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Oh... It seems that my position as the head of the family will soon be lost. Someone wants to seize power!"
Xiao Lian giggled and said: "The money belongs to my younger sister, so we can rest assured! She is at most a cashier, and it is father and mother who make decisions in our family!"
"Is there? Why do I think Cao'er is more righteous than I am?" Yu Hai pretended to be wronged, making the whole family laugh together. Yu Hai laughed until his ribs hurt, but he still couldn't stop.
Xiao Shitou joined in the fun and shouted: "I will listen to whoever does the right thing! Now the second sister is the cash cow of the family, and it is absolutely right to listen to the second sister when it comes to making money!!"
Everyone burst into laughter again, joking that Xiao Shitou is a little money fan...
Yu Xiaocao really likes the atmosphere at home. Dad doesn't have the tyranny and dictatorship of feudal parents at all, only occasionally a little pedantic. All the mother's thoughts are on the children. Her gentle maternal love and tolerance allow the children to have the freedom to grow up. The brothers and sisters cared for each other and loved each other, which made her gradually forget all the things in her previous life and regard herself as a member of the family.
The days that followed were busy and fulfilling. Every night, I have to work overtime to prepare the stewed vegetables and bad fish that will be sold the next day, and Xiaolian or Xiaocao will exchange them and sell them in the town. On days when she didn't go to the pier, Xiaocao and her mother turned over the picked vegetables and re-sowed the vegetables.
The current temperature is more suitable for the growth of vegetables. Coupled with the surge in the spirit power of the small sky-replenishing stone, the energy in the water of the spirit stone is higher, and a batch of vegetables can be harvested in almost ten days. That is to say, when the vegetables grown by other people's homes were still small seedlings, the second batch of vegetables from Yu's family was already on the market.
Along with it, there are other vegetables with a slightly longer growth period in the backyard of more than four acres. Beans, cucumbers, eggplants, lentils... Yao's house comes to buy them almost every day, and of course the familiar Xiao Sier of the Yu family is in charge!
Last time the Yao family was in the limelight at Mrs. Yao's birthday banquet. Most of the people who come here are local rich people from the town and surrounding areas. Who has the financial resources to use greenhouses to grow vegetables? The people who can eat green leafy vegetables can be counted on one hand in the entire Tanggu Town.
The Yao family's birthday banquet not only has a variety of green leafy vegetables, but also ample portions, which made the guests enjoy themselves. Especially the vegetables irrigated with Lingshi water not only taste better, but also contain a touch of aura, which makes people want to eat it. Since then, the Yao family has never stopped buying vegetables. Vegetables with aura, you don’t feel like eating them once or twice, but after a long time, you can gradually realize the beauty of them.
Old Mrs. Yao is getting old, and he had worked hard when he was young, and his body suffered from many ailments and chronic illnesses. Since he ate the vegetables bought by Yu's family, not only his spirit has improved, but his body has also become better and better. In the past, whenever it was cloudy and rainy, his bones would feel chilly, but this spring it was rainy and rainy, but his old cold legs didn't suffer from it at all. Recently, after seeing him, many old guys said that he looks much younger!
As the temperature gets warmer, more and more vegetables are sold in the vegetable market. Now the supervisor of purchasing feels that it is unnecessary to travel such a long way every day to sell vegetables, so he asks his staff to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and come back. Everyone in the Yao family immediately noticed the difference in the vegetables after taking the first bite. Called to buy and ask, only to find out that the vegetables are not from the Yu family.
The old man was furious. Although he didn't remove the director of purchasing because of this, he assigned him a deputy, that is, Xiao Si'er, who often travels between Dongshan Village and the town. The master of the Yao family immediately said: "From now on, the vegetables will be purchased from the Yu family! It doesn't matter if they are more expensive, the Yao family is not short of that money. As long as the old man is happy to eat!"
Ever since, the Yao family became Xiaocao's first regular customer!
The second regular customer is of course Zhenxiu Restaurant? When there is a shortage of vegetables, fresh vegetables can be supplied, which has added a lot of customers to Zhenxiu Restaurant. Zhenxiu Restaurant can now be described as "full of guests every day, full of guests every day"! Many times, if you want to eat at Zhenxiu Restaurant, you have to make an appointment and line up!
Of course, this is not only due to Yu’s Vegetables, but partly because Zhenxiu Restaurant has launched a new dish—roasted chicken!
The roast chicken at Zhenxiulou is definitely a must! Dean Yuan of Rongxuan Academy is a famous gourmet. After he tasted it, he commented: "The meat is tender and strong, rotten and boneless. The whole chicken is round and plump, bright in color, moderately salty, fragrant and delicious. It is unique and has a lingering fragrance!" Not only did he finish a big roast chicken by himself, but he also packed several to go home! It left his grandson Yuan Yunxi speechless.
Speaking of the roast chicken, Chef Wang compared it with the recipe, and he still couldn't explain why he had killed ten or twenty chickens. As a last resort, Young Master Zhou personally took him to Dongshan Village to "learn from a teacher".
A small roast chicken needs to go through more than ten processes such as slaughtering, scalding, rubbing, washing, grilling, kneading, bleaching, splitting, drying, frying, and marinating. Every process must be carried out in strict accordance with the operating procedures. The ingredients of the roast chicken are also very fine, and the fire should also be accurately controlled. Therefore, Yu Xiaocao demonstrated three times by hand, before Chef Wang mastered the subtleties.
Once the roast chicken was launched, it quickly caused a wave of enthusiasm. You have never eaten the roast chicken at Zhenxiu Restaurant, you are too OUT! Anyone with money, power and status, who has never tasted the delicacies of Zhenxiulou, would be too embarrassed to go out, for fear of being asked! The greetings between friends and neighbors have become "Have you ever eaten the roast chicken at Zhenxiu Restaurant? The taste..."
Often, as soon as Zhenxiu Restaurant's roast chicken comes out of the pan, except for the private rooms, the rest are booked out at once, and the supply is indeed in short supply. People who pre-ordered roasted chicken are waiting for a month later! All of a sudden, a chicken is hard to find!
As a result, the private rooms in Zhenxiu Restaurant have become a sought-after item. Because only the guests who dine in the private room can taste the authentic roast chicken without queuing. You said, can the business of Zhenxiu Restaurant not be booming
