Shen Jiyao seemed very happy because he found a suitable restaurant. He happily returned to the village, and called the five people into the house to discuss with them about going to the town. After getting rid of worries, the happy mood gradually disappeared, and the five people began to worry.
The layout of the restaurant is very large, so a few more people will have to be recruited at that time, and after the restaurant is opened, everyone will inevitably live in the backyard, so if all the people in the room go to the town, who will take care of it? What about family affairs and field work? The chickens and geese that have been raised for so long, Shen Jiyao, are reluctant to sell. They always feel that these are a symbol of a family, and there is also a milk sheep that needs to be taken care of, and someone needs to watch the field from time to time. Although few people know about the place, it's hard to say whether it will be discovered in the future. Although there is no fear of being taken over by people with the title deed, there are still many people in the village who can't understand them and feel uneasy. It is better to be careful, otherwise Waiting for them to destroy or dig up the vegetables will not be worth the loss.
If it doesn't work, leave the two of them at home to take care of the crops in the field, and the other five can go to the town.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiyao said: "The restaurant has been found, and it has a backyard. In the future, we don't have to run around and live in the restaurant directly, but we have to leave two people at home to take care of the house and the vegetable field. If the food in the house can be collected, we will come back to collect it, as long as the family is well managed, if anyone of you is willing to keep it, tell me."
When the five people heard the words, they immediately looked at each other with embarrassment, and did not speak.
Seeing this, Lan Qianjue thought that they were afraid that he and Shen Jiyao would feel that they were lazy at home and did not dare to speak up, so he said, "Whether you go to town or stay at home is helping us, you don't have any other ideas. , if you want to go to town with us or stay, just say it straight.”
Several people hesitated for a while before Wang Yueer took the lead and said: "I want to go to the town to help Brother Shen with their work."
Xu Rong said, "Me too."
Zhang Yong also hurriedly said: "There is still me and me. I am so capable, so naturally I cannot be missing."
Seeing this, Shen Jiyao had no choice but to look at Wang Baoer and Xiaoba Zhang Goudan. The two looked sad at this moment, and the three of them rushed to say it first. Now I am afraid that they can only be kept, so Zhang Goudan looked displeased. Said happily: "He, they are all, go, that's just me, I will follow, and Bao'er will stay."
Seeing the grievance on his face, Shen Jiyao suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I'm afraid even Xiaodoumi can tell that you don't want to, Bao'er, Goud, you want to go to town too?"
Wang Baoer pursed his lips and nodded hastily, his eyes were full of hope, he could see that he wanted to go to the town very much, but he couldn't say anything, but Zhang Goudan was a child at heart, he roared full of grievances: "Shen Brother, go, I'll go, wherever I go! You all go...go to the town to work, just, let's enjoy the blessings at home, I don't do it, I don't do it, I suffer all kinds of hardships Okay, just don't, don't let me idle in the village, idle, although there is work in the field, but here, doing business in the town is not easy at all, brother Shen, we, our business is so good, we You five, five or five people are too busy, busy, too busy, you still, take me and Bao'er."
It was so laborious to stammer and speak a paragraph, it was both funny and heart-wrenching.
Shen Jiyao looked at Lan Qianjue with some helplessness. After all this questioning, no one wanted to stay at home. They cared about them all the time. Naturally, Shen Jiyao was reluctant to order anyone to stay. He was afraid that they would have something in their hearts, so he had to say : "What should I do, sell all the living things in the house? Just take a milk sheep, and let's go to the town together?"
When several people heard the words, they looked at Lan Qianjue eagerly, fearing that he would disagree.
"That's fine." Lan Qianjue picked up the bib and wiped Xiao Doumi's saliva, but didn't see the hopeful eyes of the few people, and said, "It's troublesome to keep, or sell it, since they don't want to stay in the village, Let's go to the town together, after all, they have been waiters for several months and know how to greet guests."
Shen Jiyao thought for a while, then said: "Poultry can be sold, but what to do with the vegetables in the field must not be left alone. In fact, I have always had an idea about Brother Zhou and the others, but it's not yet time. So I don’t want to say it too early, but now it seems that it has to be implemented.”
Lan Qianjue said, "What's your idea?"
Shen Jiyao said: "Hire a few people who are close to us in the village to grow vegetables for us, such as Brother Zhou, Da Zhuang and Zhang Quanwang, so that we can hand over the crops in our field to them, and then we will pay them money. Guarantee that they earn more than farming, do you think it is feasible?"
Lan Qianjue thought for a while, and said, "I have to see if they are willing, or I'll ask Brother Zhou and them."
Shen Jiyao said: "You don't need to ask, I'll tell them, you go and invite Brother Zhou and the others to have a meal at home later, invite those who have a good relationship with us, since we opened this shop, we will also I haven't had a good time with them, so it's not bad to have a good time today."
Lan Qianjue hummed and said, "Okay."
The matter was settled, and the five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jiyao said to Xu Rong: "Do you know how to kill chickens? If you can, catch four chickens and kill them. Then kill two rabbits. I will make something good for you to eat tonight."
"I will, I'll kill right away." Xu Rong stood up and said to Wang Bao'er, "Bao'er, shall we go together?"
Wang Baoer nodded, got up and followed Xu Rong.
Now that the temperature is getting higher and higher, the vegetable seeds sprinkled in the vegetable field in the yard will germinate within a few days, and they will be edible again in a month and a half. Shen Jiyao pulled some tender vegetables in the vegetable field to pick them up. In the evening, it was used to cook hot pot, while Wang Yueer took a pot full of tender vegetables to the well to wash the vegetables.
In the evening, Shen Jiyao's chicken and rabbit had already exploded, and he was waiting for Lan Qianjue's stone bowl to mix glutinous rice cakes with chili peppers to make a spicy chicken and stir-fry a braised rabbit.
Although it is easy to get angry when eating spicy chicken hot pot in this hot weather, Shen Jiyao hasn't eaten spicy chicken for a long time, so he cooks it for a meal. At this time, Shen Jiyao's brain has also turned around. A flock of geese at home can take To sell, but the chickens can be kept for slaughtering for cooking. Although they are all raised by themselves, some of them can't be killed by hand, but they are also slaughtered if they are sold. They are slaughtered everywhere, so Shen Jiyao no longer struggles These were gone, so I fed them some good ones, and then killed them.
Shen Jiyao asked a few people to move two tables and a dozen benches to the courtyard to fix them up, and then went to fetch lanterns to hang on the tree, planning to have dinner in the courtyard.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lan Qianjue, who had gone to invite people, led the crowd.
A group of people entered the yard talking and laughing, and greeted Shen Jiyao one after another. Mrs. Zhou came up to Shen Jiyao with a smile and said, "I heard from Brother Lan that you are going to invite us to dinner again. I am really bothering you, even though I have to trouble you again." , but we still came here with shame, once we heard that you want to eat delicious food, we couldn’t control our legs.”
Zhang Quanwang said with a gruff voice and hearty smile: "Isn't it? My son has long wanted to come, and he ran faster than a rabbit when Brother Lan said he wanted to come to your house to eat."
Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "It's my honor for you to show your face. We're eating in the yard today. You sit down first and be casual. I'll get the food."
Lan Qianjue carried the stone bowl in his hand and followed Shen Jiyao to the kitchen, while telling: "Xu Rong, go get the shortbread you bought last time and give it to everyone."
Over there Xu Rong responded, and cheerfully went to the house to get shortbread.
Everyone pulled up the stools and sat down. Wang Dazhuang looked around the yard and sighed: "The days go by so fast. I haven't eaten the dishes made by Brother Shen for five or six months."
Li Quanfeng smiled at the side and said nothing, Zhang Quanwang hugged his son, and joked: "You might as well sell yourself to Brother Lan's house, and you can eat the dishes made by Brother Shen every day from now on."
This remark caused everyone to laugh, and Zhou Laosan said: "Da Zhuang, don't keep thinking about Brother Shen's cooking skills, I see, you are short of a wife, hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law to cook for you , you’re in your twenties, if you don’t look for it, no one wants it, we’re all in a hurry for you.”
Wang Dazhuang's dark face couldn't help but reddened, and he said, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"
His shy appearance made everyone laugh again.
Wang Yue'er came out with the tea pot at this time, and distributed bowls on the table to pour water for several people, while Xu Rong took two packs of shortbread wrapped in oil paper and put them on the table for everyone to eat.
In the kitchen, Shen Jiyao passed the dried chili through the water, and then began to pound it in a stone bowl. The wet chili was very weak and not easy to mash. Lan Qianjue was very puzzled why he had to dry the chili after so much effort. The pepper was pounded through the water again, so he asked Shen Jiyao's intention.
While peeling the garlic cloves, Shen Jiyao said: "There are several types of peppers, and there are three common ones. One is dried and then fried with fire. The fried peppers can be crushed directly. It is burnt pepper noodles, which are used for cooking. Dip it in water, or eat it directly in noodles. One is to mash it directly after drying. This is raw chili noodles. It hurts the stomach to eat raw. It can be fried with oil for cooking, but if the raw chili noodles are finely mashed Put some salt in it, it tastes good for dipping boiled potatoes, and there is another kind of chili pepper, this kind of chili is probably the most delicious of several kinds of chili, no matter what it is used for, it is delicious If you want a dish to taste good, chili is the key. For example, the spicy chicken I want to make, if it is fried with raw chili noodles, the taste will not be very good, so there must be glutinous rice cake chili.”
Lan Qianjue seemed to understand what he heard, so he didn't ask any more questions, but continued to pound the chili peppers.
Shen Jiyao peeled the garlic, put it in a stone bowl and pounded it together with the chili pepper. It took a full quarter of an hour to pound out the glutinous rice cake chili pepper.
Shen Jiyao happily scooped two chili peppers into a bowl with a wooden spoon and smelled them, then sighed exaggeratedly, praised the aroma before starting to cook.
Lan Qianjue really likes to watch Shen Jiyao stir-fry. The process of cooking food is always the most interesting.
It was getting dark, and several people were still chatting and laughing in the yard. Xu Rong came out to light the lanterns. Seeing that Shen Jiyao's dishes were almost done, he began to consciously go to get the bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing that the meal was about to start, everyone was in no mood to chat for a moment, and they all looked at the kitchen.
Not long after, Shen Jiyao finished frying the hot pot with spicy chicken, and fried the stewed rabbit early in the morning. Wang Baoer and the others put all the food on the table and stood aside consciously. Shen Jiyao hugged Xiao Doumi, who was so hungry, came out and said, "What are you doing standing up, come over and eat together."
Brother Zhou looked at them and said, "Yeah, we don't pay attention to that. All of you come over and sit down together. Stand aside and watch what's going on."
Several people glanced at each other, and Lan Qianjue said, "Sit down and eat together. Brother Zhou and the others are not outsiders, so you don't have to be too cautious."
Hearing this, several people walked to the table and sat down.
Lan Qianjue went to get a jar of wine and poured it for everyone. A group of people sat around in the courtyard, sitting under a tree by the light from a few lanterns and began to drink and eat meat. Shen Jiyao was feeding Xiaodoumi. Seeing that he didn't have time to eat, Qian Jue picked up a piece of deboned chicken from time to time and handed it to his mouth to feed him.
There is no doubt about the taste of Shen Jiyao's fried dishes. As soon as they came to the table, they moved their chopsticks and ate quickly, sweating profusely. Even the five people who seemed more restrained because of the presence of outsiders gradually ate happily. A group of people ate and praised. Four chickens were fried into a pot of spicy chicken, and half of it was gone soon. The taste is simply unbelievable.
Shen Jiyao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou doesn't know, but this is actually not cornel fruit, but a vegetable from Fanbang called chili pepper, which tastes much better than cornel."
"Chili?" Mrs. Zhou said, "That's a good name, but where did you get the Fanbang cuisine?"
Shen Jiyao said casually: "Last time in the town, a group of people dressed in strange clothes came to eat, but they didn't have any money to pay for the meal, so they used these seeds to pay off the debt. I called you here today to discuss something with you." Regarding these vegetables, I don’t know if you are interested.”
Zhou Laosan, who had not spoken since the meal and had been eating chicken all the time, opened his mouth at this moment, and said without raising his head, "Whatever, you can just say it."
Shen Jiyao thought for a while before saying: "Qian Jue and I found a restaurant in the town and planned to open it in a few days, so I thought about using these seeds to grow some rare vegetables that we don't have in the town to cook and sell. , but all seven of us are going to the town, so we don't have much time to farm, so I just want to ask you if you would like to help us plant these vegetables. When they mature in the future, I will spend money to collect the vegetables for you. Everything is needed, and the price is negotiable.”
Everyone paused, with hesitation on their faces, and did not speak.
"What kind of vegetables are there?" Zhang Quanwang said: "Is there any problem with the vegetables in Fanbang? It is said that the people in Fanbang are not very friendly and ambitious. They always want to annex the country of our Daqing Dynasty. They give It’s probably some kind of poisonous weed.”
"No, what you're eating now was grown with the seeds they gave you, so it's okay." Shen Jiyao smiled, then changed the topic, and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou, how much money can you make by planting crops for one season?"
Sister-in-law Zhou said truthfully: "When we grow crops, it depends on the mood of God. When it is the best, we can keep the food we eat at home, and we can sell it for two or three taels, and when it is not good, we can sell it for one or two taels."
Shen Jiyao gently shook his legs to tease Xiaodoumi, and said without hesitation: "Well, I will rent your land and hire you to help me grow vegetables. When the vegetables are cooked in the future, I will spend money to collect them. What do you think?" ""This is not necessary." Hearing the words, Zhou Laosan immediately said solemnly: "Wouldn't it be a big loss for you to do this? If you really need these vegetables, we will set aside one or two plots of land for you to grow. I don’t want your money, why are we so polite, we want Lao Shizi’s money.”
"Brother Zhou, what I want is not the amount of one or two pieces of land." Shen Jiyao said: "You can see if this works, I will rent an acre of land for three hundred yuan, and I will give each of you one or two yuan a month to help me Plant vegetables, and when the vegetables in the field are cooked, I will collect them at a price of three yuan per catty, what do you think is good."
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Quanwang said at this moment, "You are in business, not in a loss-making business. It's fine to rent our land and hire us. If there is any, you have to spend money to buy yourself. The principle of asking people to grow vegetables, I know that little brother Shen is taking care of us big guys, but we really can’t bear you like this. It’s no problem to grow the vegetables you mentioned. I Zhang Quanwang agreed, and I will lease all the seven acres of land to you. You can grow whatever you want, give me the vegetable seeds, and I will plant your vegetable seeds when the crops are ripe and harvested this season."
Li Quanfeng, who had been meditating on the side, said, "Brother Zhang is right, although I don't have much land, I can grow a lot of vegetables with three acres of land. Brother Shen, if you don't mind, I will plant it for you too. "
"I think what they said is okay." Mrs. Zhou said: "The land is leased to you, and we will let you hire it, but you don't need to pay for the vegetables in the land, otherwise people will laugh at us."
"That's how it is." Shen Jiyao said: "Four hundred dollars per mu of land, plus two taels of silver per month for each of you, the vegetables in the vegetable field will not be bought with money, what do you think?"
Zhou Laosan groaned, and said: "You two are really good people. It is impossible to work in this field every day. Sometimes you just sit at home when the farming is slack. Let's put aside the relationship between brothers and just discuss the matter. It’s not worth two taels of silver. Some vegetables can be cooked soon after being planted, but most of the vegetables have to wait for several months to eat. Brother Shen, we only earn seven or eight taels in those two months of the year. Yinzi, how can I charge you so much money, let’s do this, the rent for the land is only three hundred yuan, one or two a month is enough.”
Wang Dazhuang said: "I think this way, even if it is like this, it is much more profitable than farming by myself. Sometimes the crops in the field are not harvested well, and it is only enough to make ends meet. Where I can make money, I will follow what Brother Zhou said. , none of us are at a loss."
Shen Jiyao looked troubled, and when he was thinking about whether to agree, Lan Qianjue said: "Although you can't make much money from farming, it's all net money. You will definitely keep a year's ration before selling the grain. But we don’t have any food to keep when we grow vegetables for us. If you don’t give us more, you won’t be able to make any money. After all, it’s better to grow your own crops. If you are all willing to help us grow, then listen to Ji Yao, regardless of the value. It's not worth the calculation, we are good brothers, don't worry about the money, it's settled like this, [-] yuan per mu of land, [-] taels per month per person, counting from the time the seeds are planted, wait for me Go to the town with Ji Yao to see the development first, if the business is good and the supply and demand are high, I have to come and trouble everyone."
Everyone stopped talking. Facing the temptation of benefits, everyone was tempted, but they didn't want to let them suffer, so everyone kept silent. Brother Zhou thought about it, and then reluctantly said: "That's it, let's do it You said it."
Lan Qianjue smiled and said: "Then it's settled, we'll tell you after we go to the town for a few days, okay, let's all eat."
After dinner, they chatted until late at night. Shen Jiyao was so happy that he almost forgot to tell them about his land, so he hurriedly told everyone, and wanted to ask them to take care of it for a few days. Of course, There is a reward, but Shen Jiyao didn't say it. It would be embarrassing for everyone to say it like this. It's not good to answer it or not. He felt that he would not do such a small favor, so he planned to wait for someone to pick it up, and go directly to the other's house with the money.
The job was finally taken over by Mrs. Zhou's family. Shen Jiyao thanked her a few times before changing the topic.
Entrusting the family's land, Shen Jiyao felt more at ease, and tomorrow he could go to the town to find a carpenter to build tables and chairs, paint and paint them.
Lan Qianjue and Brother Zhou drank some wine before dinner, and they were still sitting in the courtyard talking, Zhou's sister-in-law had already brought Xiaobao back, Tianci also fell asleep in Zhang Quanwang's arms, Shen Jiyao was really sleepy , so he hugged Xiao Doumi to rest, leaving a few gentlemen to blow wildly in the courtyard.After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jiyao felt that the quilt had been lifted off his body, and a faint smell of wine lingered around.
Shen Jiyao looked back in a daze, but there was no light in the room, and he couldn't see anything.
Shen Jiyao felt a pair of hot big hands hug him gently and then slowly opened his pockets, then he called softly: "Qian Jue?"
"Yeah." Lan Qianjue answered in a low voice, followed Shen Jiyao's breathing, leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, then untied his trousers and pulled down his trousers, stretched gently a few times, and then lay down He pushed in from behind.
Xu Shi had been drinking tonight, and Lan Qianjue's movements were so big that Shen Jiyao couldn't help humming.
Afterwards, Lan Qianjue didn't pull out, but hugged Shen Jiyao gently and fell asleep.
Shen Jiyao struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so he had to let him go.
The next day.
Shen Jiyao went to Mrs. Zhou with a tael of silver, pushed and shoved and finally gave her the silver, and then came back to have lunch and was about to go out. The few people were very curious about what the new restaurant looked like, and they all wanted to see it They looked but didn't say anything, they all looked at Shen Jiyao expectantly, and Shen Jiyao could see it, so he took the five of them to the town together.
They first went to the person who made tables and chairs for the shop in Snack Alley last time, and ordered a batch of beautiful and elegant tables and chairs. They spent a total of 20 taels of silver, and then went to the painter to negotiate the price, and then went to the restaurant together. .
There is a street outside the restaurant, only a few hawkers do business here, seeing them go to the end of the street and enter the restaurant, a peddler whispered to a hawker selling small vegetables: "This building has not been opened for a long time, you said this little brother Could it be that you are stupid, you chose this place, and you are not afraid that no one will come to your door, and you will waste so much money in vain."
The vegetable vendor said: "Hey, you can see that he is a brother. He can do great things. If someone pampers him, he likes to lose this kind of money. Besides, who doesn't want a building with a cheaper market price? In this world Although it’s peaceful, it’s hard to do business, didn’t we come to this ghostly place just to hide from the market money worth more than a dozen dollars?”
"That's true." The peddler sighed, and then suddenly said nervously: "Hurry up, hurry up, the supervisor is here!" He stood up first to shoulder the burden, ran to the end of the street, and then turned into another road. In the alley, by the time the vegetable vendor reacted, he had disappeared.
The vegetable vendor cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly picked up the burden and ran away.
The five of Wang Yueer looked around in the restaurant and couldn't help but marvel, while Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue led the painter to look up and down, and then said: "How does the master think, can you just pick the peeling paint and paint it. "
The painter was a man in his early years. He looked at the railing on the second floor for a while, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I think it should be repainted. It's better not to paint it. Your building is not as good as the paint." There are not many places where the skin is cracked, but after a long time, if you pick it up, there will be pieces here and there, and you can't stand it."
Shen Jiyao smiled and said: "Then it's up to the master, you can arrange it, but the price..."
The painter said: "I will never charge you more than that, so how about adding one or two more."
Shen Jiyao didn't say a word, he thought it was a little expensive, but seeing that the pillars of the restaurant were so high, and there were more than forty painters, it was not easy to climb up and down, so he said: "That's all right, you do it, I'll pay first I'll give you one tael, and I'll pay you another tael when you're done, and I'll give you the key first, we live far away, and we can't come to open the door for you in time, I'm afraid it will delay your work."
The painter nodded, took the key and a tael of silver, and felt more fond of Shen Jiyao in his heart. He had never seen such a carefree and unsuspecting person.
After the matter was settled, Shen Jiyao no longer cared about the painter, but took a few people who were waiting for him to finish the discussion to visit the backyard.
This restaurant is very delicately built, at least it can be seen that the owner of this restaurant is very emotional, the roof is a steeple, the combination of red walls and green tiles is very eye-catching, the second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, but it is There are railings around the perimeter, although there is no window-facing position, but it can stand high and look far away, which has a special atmosphere.
The inside is more grand, the floor is paved with wooden planks, and the surrounding walls are all laid out with wooden planks. The kitchen and the ledger are lined up on one side, and a door is opened at the end. The kitchen is even more atmospheric. The stove has five stove holes, and behind it is a row of well-built wooden cabinets, which can hold many things. All the pots and pans inside are piled up in a corner. Shen Jiyao only took care of it today. Dong Kan looked around, and after reading it, he felt that he had made money.
A group of people circled around on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor. The stairs were diagonally facing the stove, and it happened that they couldn't see the situation inside the stove.
Several people went upstairs, but the facilities on the second floor were simpler, so they didn't take a closer look, but went directly to open the doors on three sides. There was no door on the side facing the backyard, which was a good protection for a group of people. After seeing the corridor, several people were amazed, they were really satisfied with this restaurant.
After viewing the second floor, a group of people rushed downstairs again and headed for the backyard.
After seeing the backyard, those people were dumbfounded.
They had never expected to live in such a courtyard one day, and suddenly they could live in such a good place, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
The layout of the restaurant is very large, so a few more people will have to be recruited at that time, and after the restaurant is opened, everyone will inevitably live in the backyard, so if all the people in the room go to the town, who will take care of it? What about family affairs and field work? The chickens and geese that have been raised for so long, Shen Jiyao, are reluctant to sell. They always feel that these are a symbol of a family, and there is also a milk sheep that needs to be taken care of, and someone needs to watch the field from time to time. Although few people know about the place, it's hard to say whether it will be discovered in the future. Although there is no fear of being taken over by people with the title deed, there are still many people in the village who can't understand them and feel uneasy. It is better to be careful, otherwise Waiting for them to destroy or dig up the vegetables will not be worth the loss.
If it doesn't work, leave the two of them at home to take care of the crops in the field, and the other five can go to the town.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiyao said: "The restaurant has been found, and it has a backyard. In the future, we don't have to run around and live in the restaurant directly, but we have to leave two people at home to take care of the house and the vegetable field. If the food in the house can be collected, we will come back to collect it, as long as the family is well managed, if anyone of you is willing to keep it, tell me."
When the five people heard the words, they immediately looked at each other with embarrassment, and did not speak.
Seeing this, Lan Qianjue thought that they were afraid that he and Shen Jiyao would feel that they were lazy at home and did not dare to speak up, so he said, "Whether you go to town or stay at home is helping us, you don't have any other ideas. , if you want to go to town with us or stay, just say it straight.”
Several people hesitated for a while before Wang Yueer took the lead and said: "I want to go to the town to help Brother Shen with their work."
Xu Rong said, "Me too."
Zhang Yong also hurriedly said: "There is still me and me. I am so capable, so naturally I cannot be missing."
Seeing this, Shen Jiyao had no choice but to look at Wang Baoer and Xiaoba Zhang Goudan. The two looked sad at this moment, and the three of them rushed to say it first. Now I am afraid that they can only be kept, so Zhang Goudan looked displeased. Said happily: "He, they are all, go, that's just me, I will follow, and Bao'er will stay."
Seeing the grievance on his face, Shen Jiyao suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I'm afraid even Xiaodoumi can tell that you don't want to, Bao'er, Goud, you want to go to town too?"
Wang Baoer pursed his lips and nodded hastily, his eyes were full of hope, he could see that he wanted to go to the town very much, but he couldn't say anything, but Zhang Goudan was a child at heart, he roared full of grievances: "Shen Brother, go, I'll go, wherever I go! You all go...go to the town to work, just, let's enjoy the blessings at home, I don't do it, I don't do it, I suffer all kinds of hardships Okay, just don't, don't let me idle in the village, idle, although there is work in the field, but here, doing business in the town is not easy at all, brother Shen, we, our business is so good, we You five, five or five people are too busy, busy, too busy, you still, take me and Bao'er."
It was so laborious to stammer and speak a paragraph, it was both funny and heart-wrenching.
Shen Jiyao looked at Lan Qianjue with some helplessness. After all this questioning, no one wanted to stay at home. They cared about them all the time. Naturally, Shen Jiyao was reluctant to order anyone to stay. He was afraid that they would have something in their hearts, so he had to say : "What should I do, sell all the living things in the house? Just take a milk sheep, and let's go to the town together?"
When several people heard the words, they looked at Lan Qianjue eagerly, fearing that he would disagree.
"That's fine." Lan Qianjue picked up the bib and wiped Xiao Doumi's saliva, but didn't see the hopeful eyes of the few people, and said, "It's troublesome to keep, or sell it, since they don't want to stay in the village, Let's go to the town together, after all, they have been waiters for several months and know how to greet guests."
Shen Jiyao thought for a while, then said: "Poultry can be sold, but what to do with the vegetables in the field must not be left alone. In fact, I have always had an idea about Brother Zhou and the others, but it's not yet time. So I don’t want to say it too early, but now it seems that it has to be implemented.”
Lan Qianjue said, "What's your idea?"
Shen Jiyao said: "Hire a few people who are close to us in the village to grow vegetables for us, such as Brother Zhou, Da Zhuang and Zhang Quanwang, so that we can hand over the crops in our field to them, and then we will pay them money. Guarantee that they earn more than farming, do you think it is feasible?"
Lan Qianjue thought for a while, and said, "I have to see if they are willing, or I'll ask Brother Zhou and them."
Shen Jiyao said: "You don't need to ask, I'll tell them, you go and invite Brother Zhou and the others to have a meal at home later, invite those who have a good relationship with us, since we opened this shop, we will also I haven't had a good time with them, so it's not bad to have a good time today."
Lan Qianjue hummed and said, "Okay."
The matter was settled, and the five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jiyao said to Xu Rong: "Do you know how to kill chickens? If you can, catch four chickens and kill them. Then kill two rabbits. I will make something good for you to eat tonight."
"I will, I'll kill right away." Xu Rong stood up and said to Wang Bao'er, "Bao'er, shall we go together?"
Wang Baoer nodded, got up and followed Xu Rong.
Now that the temperature is getting higher and higher, the vegetable seeds sprinkled in the vegetable field in the yard will germinate within a few days, and they will be edible again in a month and a half. Shen Jiyao pulled some tender vegetables in the vegetable field to pick them up. In the evening, it was used to cook hot pot, while Wang Yueer took a pot full of tender vegetables to the well to wash the vegetables.
In the evening, Shen Jiyao's chicken and rabbit had already exploded, and he was waiting for Lan Qianjue's stone bowl to mix glutinous rice cakes with chili peppers to make a spicy chicken and stir-fry a braised rabbit.
Although it is easy to get angry when eating spicy chicken hot pot in this hot weather, Shen Jiyao hasn't eaten spicy chicken for a long time, so he cooks it for a meal. At this time, Shen Jiyao's brain has also turned around. A flock of geese at home can take To sell, but the chickens can be kept for slaughtering for cooking. Although they are all raised by themselves, some of them can't be killed by hand, but they are also slaughtered if they are sold. They are slaughtered everywhere, so Shen Jiyao no longer struggles These were gone, so I fed them some good ones, and then killed them.
Shen Jiyao asked a few people to move two tables and a dozen benches to the courtyard to fix them up, and then went to fetch lanterns to hang on the tree, planning to have dinner in the courtyard.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lan Qianjue, who had gone to invite people, led the crowd.
A group of people entered the yard talking and laughing, and greeted Shen Jiyao one after another. Mrs. Zhou came up to Shen Jiyao with a smile and said, "I heard from Brother Lan that you are going to invite us to dinner again. I am really bothering you, even though I have to trouble you again." , but we still came here with shame, once we heard that you want to eat delicious food, we couldn’t control our legs.”
Zhang Quanwang said with a gruff voice and hearty smile: "Isn't it? My son has long wanted to come, and he ran faster than a rabbit when Brother Lan said he wanted to come to your house to eat."
Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "It's my honor for you to show your face. We're eating in the yard today. You sit down first and be casual. I'll get the food."
Lan Qianjue carried the stone bowl in his hand and followed Shen Jiyao to the kitchen, while telling: "Xu Rong, go get the shortbread you bought last time and give it to everyone."
Over there Xu Rong responded, and cheerfully went to the house to get shortbread.
Everyone pulled up the stools and sat down. Wang Dazhuang looked around the yard and sighed: "The days go by so fast. I haven't eaten the dishes made by Brother Shen for five or six months."
Li Quanfeng smiled at the side and said nothing, Zhang Quanwang hugged his son, and joked: "You might as well sell yourself to Brother Lan's house, and you can eat the dishes made by Brother Shen every day from now on."
This remark caused everyone to laugh, and Zhou Laosan said: "Da Zhuang, don't keep thinking about Brother Shen's cooking skills, I see, you are short of a wife, hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law to cook for you , you’re in your twenties, if you don’t look for it, no one wants it, we’re all in a hurry for you.”
Wang Dazhuang's dark face couldn't help but reddened, and he said, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"
His shy appearance made everyone laugh again.
Wang Yue'er came out with the tea pot at this time, and distributed bowls on the table to pour water for several people, while Xu Rong took two packs of shortbread wrapped in oil paper and put them on the table for everyone to eat.
In the kitchen, Shen Jiyao passed the dried chili through the water, and then began to pound it in a stone bowl. The wet chili was very weak and not easy to mash. Lan Qianjue was very puzzled why he had to dry the chili after so much effort. The pepper was pounded through the water again, so he asked Shen Jiyao's intention.
While peeling the garlic cloves, Shen Jiyao said: "There are several types of peppers, and there are three common ones. One is dried and then fried with fire. The fried peppers can be crushed directly. It is burnt pepper noodles, which are used for cooking. Dip it in water, or eat it directly in noodles. One is to mash it directly after drying. This is raw chili noodles. It hurts the stomach to eat raw. It can be fried with oil for cooking, but if the raw chili noodles are finely mashed Put some salt in it, it tastes good for dipping boiled potatoes, and there is another kind of chili pepper, this kind of chili is probably the most delicious of several kinds of chili, no matter what it is used for, it is delicious If you want a dish to taste good, chili is the key. For example, the spicy chicken I want to make, if it is fried with raw chili noodles, the taste will not be very good, so there must be glutinous rice cake chili.”
Lan Qianjue seemed to understand what he heard, so he didn't ask any more questions, but continued to pound the chili peppers.
Shen Jiyao peeled the garlic, put it in a stone bowl and pounded it together with the chili pepper. It took a full quarter of an hour to pound out the glutinous rice cake chili pepper.
Shen Jiyao happily scooped two chili peppers into a bowl with a wooden spoon and smelled them, then sighed exaggeratedly, praised the aroma before starting to cook.
Lan Qianjue really likes to watch Shen Jiyao stir-fry. The process of cooking food is always the most interesting.
It was getting dark, and several people were still chatting and laughing in the yard. Xu Rong came out to light the lanterns. Seeing that Shen Jiyao's dishes were almost done, he began to consciously go to get the bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing that the meal was about to start, everyone was in no mood to chat for a moment, and they all looked at the kitchen.
Not long after, Shen Jiyao finished frying the hot pot with spicy chicken, and fried the stewed rabbit early in the morning. Wang Baoer and the others put all the food on the table and stood aside consciously. Shen Jiyao hugged Xiao Doumi, who was so hungry, came out and said, "What are you doing standing up, come over and eat together."
Brother Zhou looked at them and said, "Yeah, we don't pay attention to that. All of you come over and sit down together. Stand aside and watch what's going on."
Several people glanced at each other, and Lan Qianjue said, "Sit down and eat together. Brother Zhou and the others are not outsiders, so you don't have to be too cautious."
Hearing this, several people walked to the table and sat down.
Lan Qianjue went to get a jar of wine and poured it for everyone. A group of people sat around in the courtyard, sitting under a tree by the light from a few lanterns and began to drink and eat meat. Shen Jiyao was feeding Xiaodoumi. Seeing that he didn't have time to eat, Qian Jue picked up a piece of deboned chicken from time to time and handed it to his mouth to feed him.
There is no doubt about the taste of Shen Jiyao's fried dishes. As soon as they came to the table, they moved their chopsticks and ate quickly, sweating profusely. Even the five people who seemed more restrained because of the presence of outsiders gradually ate happily. A group of people ate and praised. Four chickens were fried into a pot of spicy chicken, and half of it was gone soon. The taste is simply unbelievable.
Shen Jiyao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou doesn't know, but this is actually not cornel fruit, but a vegetable from Fanbang called chili pepper, which tastes much better than cornel."
"Chili?" Mrs. Zhou said, "That's a good name, but where did you get the Fanbang cuisine?"
Shen Jiyao said casually: "Last time in the town, a group of people dressed in strange clothes came to eat, but they didn't have any money to pay for the meal, so they used these seeds to pay off the debt. I called you here today to discuss something with you." Regarding these vegetables, I don’t know if you are interested.”
Zhou Laosan, who had not spoken since the meal and had been eating chicken all the time, opened his mouth at this moment, and said without raising his head, "Whatever, you can just say it."
Shen Jiyao thought for a while before saying: "Qian Jue and I found a restaurant in the town and planned to open it in a few days, so I thought about using these seeds to grow some rare vegetables that we don't have in the town to cook and sell. , but all seven of us are going to the town, so we don't have much time to farm, so I just want to ask you if you would like to help us plant these vegetables. When they mature in the future, I will spend money to collect the vegetables for you. Everything is needed, and the price is negotiable.”
Everyone paused, with hesitation on their faces, and did not speak.
"What kind of vegetables are there?" Zhang Quanwang said: "Is there any problem with the vegetables in Fanbang? It is said that the people in Fanbang are not very friendly and ambitious. They always want to annex the country of our Daqing Dynasty. They give It’s probably some kind of poisonous weed.”
"No, what you're eating now was grown with the seeds they gave you, so it's okay." Shen Jiyao smiled, then changed the topic, and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou, how much money can you make by planting crops for one season?"
Sister-in-law Zhou said truthfully: "When we grow crops, it depends on the mood of God. When it is the best, we can keep the food we eat at home, and we can sell it for two or three taels, and when it is not good, we can sell it for one or two taels."
Shen Jiyao gently shook his legs to tease Xiaodoumi, and said without hesitation: "Well, I will rent your land and hire you to help me grow vegetables. When the vegetables are cooked in the future, I will spend money to collect them. What do you think?" ""This is not necessary." Hearing the words, Zhou Laosan immediately said solemnly: "Wouldn't it be a big loss for you to do this? If you really need these vegetables, we will set aside one or two plots of land for you to grow. I don’t want your money, why are we so polite, we want Lao Shizi’s money.”
"Brother Zhou, what I want is not the amount of one or two pieces of land." Shen Jiyao said: "You can see if this works, I will rent an acre of land for three hundred yuan, and I will give each of you one or two yuan a month to help me Plant vegetables, and when the vegetables in the field are cooked, I will collect them at a price of three yuan per catty, what do you think is good."
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Quanwang said at this moment, "You are in business, not in a loss-making business. It's fine to rent our land and hire us. If there is any, you have to spend money to buy yourself. The principle of asking people to grow vegetables, I know that little brother Shen is taking care of us big guys, but we really can’t bear you like this. It’s no problem to grow the vegetables you mentioned. I Zhang Quanwang agreed, and I will lease all the seven acres of land to you. You can grow whatever you want, give me the vegetable seeds, and I will plant your vegetable seeds when the crops are ripe and harvested this season."
Li Quanfeng, who had been meditating on the side, said, "Brother Zhang is right, although I don't have much land, I can grow a lot of vegetables with three acres of land. Brother Shen, if you don't mind, I will plant it for you too. "
"I think what they said is okay." Mrs. Zhou said: "The land is leased to you, and we will let you hire it, but you don't need to pay for the vegetables in the land, otherwise people will laugh at us."
"That's how it is." Shen Jiyao said: "Four hundred dollars per mu of land, plus two taels of silver per month for each of you, the vegetables in the vegetable field will not be bought with money, what do you think?"
Zhou Laosan groaned, and said: "You two are really good people. It is impossible to work in this field every day. Sometimes you just sit at home when the farming is slack. Let's put aside the relationship between brothers and just discuss the matter. It’s not worth two taels of silver. Some vegetables can be cooked soon after being planted, but most of the vegetables have to wait for several months to eat. Brother Shen, we only earn seven or eight taels in those two months of the year. Yinzi, how can I charge you so much money, let’s do this, the rent for the land is only three hundred yuan, one or two a month is enough.”
Wang Dazhuang said: "I think this way, even if it is like this, it is much more profitable than farming by myself. Sometimes the crops in the field are not harvested well, and it is only enough to make ends meet. Where I can make money, I will follow what Brother Zhou said. , none of us are at a loss."
Shen Jiyao looked troubled, and when he was thinking about whether to agree, Lan Qianjue said: "Although you can't make much money from farming, it's all net money. You will definitely keep a year's ration before selling the grain. But we don’t have any food to keep when we grow vegetables for us. If you don’t give us more, you won’t be able to make any money. After all, it’s better to grow your own crops. If you are all willing to help us grow, then listen to Ji Yao, regardless of the value. It's not worth the calculation, we are good brothers, don't worry about the money, it's settled like this, [-] yuan per mu of land, [-] taels per month per person, counting from the time the seeds are planted, wait for me Go to the town with Ji Yao to see the development first, if the business is good and the supply and demand are high, I have to come and trouble everyone."
Everyone stopped talking. Facing the temptation of benefits, everyone was tempted, but they didn't want to let them suffer, so everyone kept silent. Brother Zhou thought about it, and then reluctantly said: "That's it, let's do it You said it."
Lan Qianjue smiled and said: "Then it's settled, we'll tell you after we go to the town for a few days, okay, let's all eat."
After dinner, they chatted until late at night. Shen Jiyao was so happy that he almost forgot to tell them about his land, so he hurriedly told everyone, and wanted to ask them to take care of it for a few days. Of course, There is a reward, but Shen Jiyao didn't say it. It would be embarrassing for everyone to say it like this. It's not good to answer it or not. He felt that he would not do such a small favor, so he planned to wait for someone to pick it up, and go directly to the other's house with the money.
The job was finally taken over by Mrs. Zhou's family. Shen Jiyao thanked her a few times before changing the topic.
Entrusting the family's land, Shen Jiyao felt more at ease, and tomorrow he could go to the town to find a carpenter to build tables and chairs, paint and paint them.
Lan Qianjue and Brother Zhou drank some wine before dinner, and they were still sitting in the courtyard talking, Zhou's sister-in-law had already brought Xiaobao back, Tianci also fell asleep in Zhang Quanwang's arms, Shen Jiyao was really sleepy , so he hugged Xiao Doumi to rest, leaving a few gentlemen to blow wildly in the courtyard.After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jiyao felt that the quilt had been lifted off his body, and a faint smell of wine lingered around.
Shen Jiyao looked back in a daze, but there was no light in the room, and he couldn't see anything.
Shen Jiyao felt a pair of hot big hands hug him gently and then slowly opened his pockets, then he called softly: "Qian Jue?"
"Yeah." Lan Qianjue answered in a low voice, followed Shen Jiyao's breathing, leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, then untied his trousers and pulled down his trousers, stretched gently a few times, and then lay down He pushed in from behind.
Xu Shi had been drinking tonight, and Lan Qianjue's movements were so big that Shen Jiyao couldn't help humming.
Afterwards, Lan Qianjue didn't pull out, but hugged Shen Jiyao gently and fell asleep.
Shen Jiyao struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so he had to let him go.
The next day.
Shen Jiyao went to Mrs. Zhou with a tael of silver, pushed and shoved and finally gave her the silver, and then came back to have lunch and was about to go out. The few people were very curious about what the new restaurant looked like, and they all wanted to see it They looked but didn't say anything, they all looked at Shen Jiyao expectantly, and Shen Jiyao could see it, so he took the five of them to the town together.
They first went to the person who made tables and chairs for the shop in Snack Alley last time, and ordered a batch of beautiful and elegant tables and chairs. They spent a total of 20 taels of silver, and then went to the painter to negotiate the price, and then went to the restaurant together. .
There is a street outside the restaurant, only a few hawkers do business here, seeing them go to the end of the street and enter the restaurant, a peddler whispered to a hawker selling small vegetables: "This building has not been opened for a long time, you said this little brother Could it be that you are stupid, you chose this place, and you are not afraid that no one will come to your door, and you will waste so much money in vain."
The vegetable vendor said: "Hey, you can see that he is a brother. He can do great things. If someone pampers him, he likes to lose this kind of money. Besides, who doesn't want a building with a cheaper market price? In this world Although it’s peaceful, it’s hard to do business, didn’t we come to this ghostly place just to hide from the market money worth more than a dozen dollars?”
"That's true." The peddler sighed, and then suddenly said nervously: "Hurry up, hurry up, the supervisor is here!" He stood up first to shoulder the burden, ran to the end of the street, and then turned into another road. In the alley, by the time the vegetable vendor reacted, he had disappeared.
The vegetable vendor cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly picked up the burden and ran away.
The five of Wang Yueer looked around in the restaurant and couldn't help but marvel, while Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue led the painter to look up and down, and then said: "How does the master think, can you just pick the peeling paint and paint it. "
The painter was a man in his early years. He looked at the railing on the second floor for a while, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I think it should be repainted. It's better not to paint it. Your building is not as good as the paint." There are not many places where the skin is cracked, but after a long time, if you pick it up, there will be pieces here and there, and you can't stand it."
Shen Jiyao smiled and said: "Then it's up to the master, you can arrange it, but the price..."
The painter said: "I will never charge you more than that, so how about adding one or two more."
Shen Jiyao didn't say a word, he thought it was a little expensive, but seeing that the pillars of the restaurant were so high, and there were more than forty painters, it was not easy to climb up and down, so he said: "That's all right, you do it, I'll pay first I'll give you one tael, and I'll pay you another tael when you're done, and I'll give you the key first, we live far away, and we can't come to open the door for you in time, I'm afraid it will delay your work."
The painter nodded, took the key and a tael of silver, and felt more fond of Shen Jiyao in his heart. He had never seen such a carefree and unsuspecting person.
After the matter was settled, Shen Jiyao no longer cared about the painter, but took a few people who were waiting for him to finish the discussion to visit the backyard.
This restaurant is very delicately built, at least it can be seen that the owner of this restaurant is very emotional, the roof is a steeple, the combination of red walls and green tiles is very eye-catching, the second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, but it is There are railings around the perimeter, although there is no window-facing position, but it can stand high and look far away, which has a special atmosphere.
The inside is more grand, the floor is paved with wooden planks, and the surrounding walls are all laid out with wooden planks. The kitchen and the ledger are lined up on one side, and a door is opened at the end. The kitchen is even more atmospheric. The stove has five stove holes, and behind it is a row of well-built wooden cabinets, which can hold many things. All the pots and pans inside are piled up in a corner. Shen Jiyao only took care of it today. Dong Kan looked around, and after reading it, he felt that he had made money.
A group of people circled around on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor. The stairs were diagonally facing the stove, and it happened that they couldn't see the situation inside the stove.
Several people went upstairs, but the facilities on the second floor were simpler, so they didn't take a closer look, but went directly to open the doors on three sides. There was no door on the side facing the backyard, which was a good protection for a group of people. After seeing the corridor, several people were amazed, they were really satisfied with this restaurant.
After viewing the second floor, a group of people rushed downstairs again and headed for the backyard.
After seeing the backyard, those people were dumbfounded.
They had never expected to live in such a courtyard one day, and suddenly they could live in such a good place, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
