Culinary Specialization through Farming

When they left Li's house, Li Maoshan and Chen Yan simply had lunch, and they drove the donkey cart to the county without staying too long.

On the way, Chen Yan sat at the back and looked at the scenery on both sides that gradually receded along the way. Thinking of the scene of Li Fu's strong resistance like howling ghosts and howling wolves, he suddenly laughed muffled.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Maoshan turned his head in doubt, when Chen Yan just threw himself on his back.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. Just thinking of your stepmother and your cheap little brother's resentment but not daring to vent to you, I'm so happy." Chen Yan rubbed his back and said with a smile, "But your Houmu is quite hypocritical. I thought he was really mad at Li Fu to gamble and wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect you to see that it was a fake."

"Ah."

"Then you said he would farm the land honestly?"

What Chen Yan was even more curious about was this. Letting a lazy and high-minded person go to the fields with his back to the loess every day to farm, this is more tormenting than the physical lesson.

"He should be honest in a short time."

"Let's see how long he will be honest."

The two chatted all the way, and when they returned to the restaurant, the busiest time for customers had passed.There were a few diners scattered in the lobby eating, Li Maoshan drove the donkey cart directly to the backyard, while Chen Yan got off the car early and went to the lobby to inspect it.

Agui handed over the noon income to Chen Yan.

Facing the tent, Chen Yan saw him standing aside, so he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Agui looked at Chen Yan hesitantly, hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "It's okay." He turned his head and ran away.

Chen Yan saw him surrounded by several other people from a distance, and he didn't know what they said. The young people made a fuss and went about their business.

After counting the accounts, he explained a few words and went to the backyard.

Xiao Xin is taking Xiao Bai in the backyard, but she is a very well-behaved little milk baby on weekdays, but since Chen Yan went out, she has started to make trouble.

"My little ancestor, look at how well-behaved Xiao Hei is, why can't you just eat and sleep when you're full?"

He hugged the little milk baby and kept moving around, hoping that he could sleep well early.It's also tiring to hold a child all the time.

"Wow wow-"

However, Xiaobai didn't give Xiaoxin any face, and kept crying, his small face was flushed from crying for a long time, tears were streaming from his round and bright eyes, and Xiaoxin was also worried .

Xiao Xin coaxed him with his mouth flattened: "Don't cry, don't cry, if you keep crying like this, if the bosses come back, they will think that I abused you."

"What's the matter? I heard crying from far away."

As soon as Chen Yan approached the room, he heard the sound of crying. At this moment, he pushed the door open and saw Xiao Xin crying. When he saw him, his eyes flashed with excitement, which made Chen Yan even more worried.

The crying came from his arms. Chen Yan took a few steps forward and saw the hiccupping baby crying in Xiao Xin's arms.

"Boss, you are back, this kid is too difficult to serve."

As soon as Xiao Xin saw Chen Yan, he began to pour bitter water.

"Give him food, he doesn't eat honestly. After finally finishing eating, he urinated directly. After changing his clothes, he started crying again. He was obviously very well-behaved and sensible before, but why did he make such a fuss in my hands?"

Chen Yan took the baby from Xiaoxin's hands, and the crying baby stopped crying immediately.It's just that a pair of red eyes looked at Chen Yan, and before the corner of his mouth smiled, he hiccupped first.

"Oh, what a little ancestor."

When Xiao Xin saw him baring his teeth and smiling, he immediately pouted with heartache.

Chen Yan laughed lightly, patted the little baby with his hand, and said to Xiao Xin: "I guess he is used to me hugging him, in the future you hug him more and let him get used to you, so he won't cry like this .”

"No, I'd better go to the front and help with the work. It took just a few hours, but it's more tiring than working for a few days." Xiao Xin refused firmly with a face of "I don't have a baby", " It’s good that you’re back, boss, I’ll go to work first.”

Before he could wait for Chen Yan to explain something, he ran away.

Xiao Hei rubbed Chen Yan's leg, expressing his happiness intimately.Chen Yan hugged the person with both hands, so he had no choice but to say hello to Xiao Hei.Xiao Hei got a response, barked twice, and went back to the door to lie on his stomach.

When Li Maoshan entered the room, Chen Yan was lying on the bed, and the little milk baby next to him was having fun with himself by waving his limbs.

Walking to the bed, he saw Chen Yan with his eyes closed, and reached out to rub his cheek.

Chen Yan opened his eyes slightly and saw Li Maoshan, so he smiled back.

"If you're tired, go to sleep. I'll go and see how the ingredients are prepared for the evening."

Li Maoshan explained and was about to leave when he found that he was being pulled by the corner of his clothes.He looked back and saw that Chen Yan's expression was not very good.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

He probed Chen Yan's forehead anxiously, and found that he didn't have a fever, so Li Maoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yan shook his head: "I don't know why I'm a little lethargic, it's not typhoid fever, don't worry."

"Then I'll ask a doctor to show you." Li Maoshan was a little worried, "You wait and I will."

"No need." Chen Yan pulled him back, "I'll sleep for a while, maybe I'm tired after sitting in the car for a long time."

Li Maoshan sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Chen Yan's slightly pale face, and said softly, "Then go to sleep, I will watch over you."

"No, go get busy. Stop by to see if the drink is enough for a few days. If it's not enough, ask Hu San to bring some more."

"Okay. I'll go when you fall asleep."

Li Maoshan spoke softly, his eyes full of warmth.Seeing him looking at him like this, Chen Yan felt a little sweet in his heart.

He hummed lightly, and then closed his eyes.

"Ah-"

The little milk boy waved his hand, and made an unidentified sound.

Li Maoshan picked him up and said in a low voice, "Good boy, your mother needs to rest, let's not disturb him."

On this day, Li Fu came to the restaurant early, and as soon as he saw Li Maoshan, he hurriedly stuffed a few handfuls of fresh vegetables from behind his back into his hands.

"I said brother, you asked me to deliver food to you, and you didn't get me a donkey cart. I came here early in the morning, but I was so tired."

Li Fu threw the empty back basket aside, and seeing the scent coming from the stove, his saliva couldn't stop flooding.

He opened a pot and looked, "Lean pork porridge!"

Smelling the aroma of meat in his nose, he quickly fetched a large bowl and scooped a spoon full of lean meat porridge.

He took two mouthfuls and found that the taste was very delicious, so he immediately drank the whole bowl of lean meat porridge in one go.

"boss!"

Ah Gui saw that this person didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and only picked good food, so he became angry.Especially when Li Fulian ate three bowls of porridge and took some meat buns.

Seeing his ugly eating, Ah Gui really felt worthless for his boss.

Li Maoshan raised his hand to stop Agui's words, but stood silently, watching Li Fu pick and choose among several stoves.After he finished eating, Li Maoshan said to Li Fu, "It's fifty copper coins in total."

Li Fu hadn't eaten enough yet, and was stretching out his hand to the next steamer. Hearing Li Maoshan's words, his hands trembled, and the meat bun fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and was immediately covered with dust.

Li Maoshan glanced coldly at the meat bun that fell on the ground, and said in a strong tone: "Food is not for wasting, pick it up."

The meat bun has already been bitten open by Li Fu, and the fragrant gravy is slowly flowing out.

Under his cold stare, Li Fu bent down reluctantly, "Okay, I picked it up. Where to throw it?"

He asked, but he disliked the dirty bun in his hand and put it directly on the stove.

As soon as he looked up to meet Li Maoshan's expressionless face, he dodged the other person's sight with some guilt.

"Fifty Wen, I don't accept debts." Li Maoshan still said coldly, "As for the basket of vegetables you sent, I can only count you ten Wen."

"Hehehe, brother, you really know how to plan carefully. Why don't I just eat some of your breakfast, you have to haggle over every detail with me." Li Fu said dissatisfiedly, "And those dishes, if you don't give me a donkey cart, I can I will carry a basket for you, and you should thank me for my hard work and ability."

"Hehe, that's how the word hardworking and capable is used."

Chen Yan rested for two days, and he was in good spirits today. Unfortunately, he heard a very unpleasant voice as soon as he walked into the lobby, especially what the owner of the voice said made people disagree.

"You have a thick skin. We open the door to do business. Naturally, these foods are used to sell money. Since you ate, everything must be counted as money."

Compared with Li Maoshan's indifferent attitude, Chen Yan's mood is more open and direct.

He didn't give Li Fu any face, strode forward, stretched out his hand and asked Li Fu directly for money.

Chen Yan's aggressive posture made Li Fu feel very embarrassed, especially when diners had already come in for breakfast, and those probing eyes lingering on him made Li Fu feel uncomfortable.

He took a few steps back, looking at this beautiful brother who should be called Brother Fulang in front of him, but in his heart he wanted to humiliate him severely.

However, the reality is that he has to bow his head.

"I'm here to deliver food to you today, how can I bring so much money." Li Fu said in a low voice, "Brother, it's not good for you to be so angry early in the morning, it will hurt your body."

As Li Fu was talking, he realized that there was a small strange figure in Chen Yan's arms.

"This……"

Chen Yan gave him a hard look, and handed over the baby in his arms to Li Maoshan.

The little milk baby who was changed into a hug was suddenly a little unhappy, and his mouth was flattened, but fortunately he didn't cry out loud.

"Since you didn't bring it today, let's do it tomorrow." Chen Yan said disgustedly, "Remember to come early tomorrow, and come here at this hour. If you wait for your vegetables to go into the pot, the day lily will be cold."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Fu replied hastily, his eyes still looking into Li Maoshan's arms.

"What are you looking at, we are going to do business, you can get out if you have nothing to do."

Standing in front of him, Chen Yan cut off Li Fu's malicious scrutiny.

"I'm just curious, when will you guys have a baby?"

The little doll was pink and tender, and looked several months old, and I don't know where they got it.

Chen Yan started to chase people away: "This is not something you should worry about, just leave as soon as you have nothing to do."

The unwelcome Li Fu could only step out of the restaurant embarrassingly under Chen Yan's eyes of chasing people away again and again.It's just that before he left, he still didn't forget to look back at the little doll. He always felt that the little doll had a kind face. Where did he see it?

"It should have been seen recently."

With the backpack in his hand, he walked three steps and stopped, but he couldn't remember anyway.

Li Fu scratched his head and walked all the way. Seeing that he was about to leave the county town, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Okay, so that's what happened." Stopping in front of the city gate, Li Fu threw away the basket.

Under the doubtful eyes of others, Li Fu laughed and walked back, muttering: "It's time for me to make a small fortune this time!"
