Lu Yu looked at Ye Yuan with dazed eyes, as if Zhang Er's monk couldn't figure it out, and he lost his temper. He smiled and said, "It's food, a new food, made from pickled eggs. , not only delicious but also diverse in taste.”

"You, don't be a fool." Ye Su nodded Lu Yu's forehead and smiled, "Tell us quickly."

Lu Yu stuck out her tongue and looked at Ye Su's acting like a baby: "I want to arouse your curiosity first."

Ye Han nodded like a rattle drum: "We are already curious enough!"

Lu Yu smiled and glanced at the playful Ye Han before saying: "The name of the food I'm talking about is salted eggs, which are pickled. There are several methods and flavors, and I happen to know all the methods."

"Zhengjun, I want to learn from you!" Ye Yuan said impatiently.

Lu Yu: "...you don't tell me, I will definitely teach you." After seeing Ye Yuan smiling and nodding contentedly, Lu Yu continued: "But I just want to teach one of the methods to Ye Family Village. People, do you think this is okay?"

"Yes." Ye Chengxiao agreed first: "The same is enough. If there are more methods, they may have arguments."

Lu Yu glanced at Ye Chengxiao approvingly, before continuing to smile and said, "That's what I think. Because of the different methods, the final prices must be different, and disputes are inevitable."

Ye Yuan asked: "Zhengjun, should we leave the remaining methods for us to do?"

"Well, I have this plan." Lu Yu explained to Ye Yuan: "In fact, each method is not difficult, but the cost may be a little higher, and of course the taste will be better."

Ye Yuan asked: "How many ways are there in total?"

Lu Yu pursed her lips and thought for a while before answering: "The simpler one is salt water pickling, which can be eaten in about twenty days, and there are sediment pickling, batter pickling, and white wine pickling. The duration is also about [-] days. We can also make all kinds of spicy, wine and five-flavored salted eggs, but these will take a little longer, it may take more than a month or two or three months to produce Pickle well." After Lu Yu finished speaking, she frowned slightly and struggled: "I haven't decided which pickling method to give to Yejiacun yet."

"The method given to them must not take too long." Ye Zhi said from the side: "And it should not be too complicated, and the cost should be relatively lower than other methods."

Lu Yu frowned and struggled until he finally gave up: "Then just choose one of the first three, you guys choose, I don't care."

The rest: "..." How do we choose?

After Lu Yu sighed, he looked at Ye Yuan, sighed again, and said, "Ye Yuan, I will tell you all these production methods now, and then you can help me choose one to teach to everyone in Ye Family Village."

Ye Yuan: "...Okay, Zhengjun."

Seeing Ye Yuan nodding, Lu Yu moved the chair to Ye Yuan's side, and then explained to him in detail how to make various salted eggs. The rest of the people were only Ye Su who listened carefully, and the others said that they really didn't know how to make salted eggs. Not interested, Ye Han supported his head with one hand, while tearing off the dead skin at the corner of his mouth with the other, Ye Chengxiao was quietly asking Ye Zhi something about jam.

After a long time, Lu Yu finally explained all the production methods to Ye Yuan carefully twice, and then moved the chair back to Ye Chengxiao's side. Seeing this, Ye Chengxiao also stopped talking with Ye Zhi, and conveniently He took Lu Yu's left hand and looked at him with a smile.

This time, Ye Yuan was struggling. He thought to himself for a while before saying to the people present: "I think it's better to tell them the method of pickling in salt water. It doesn’t take too much effort to get up, and every household has the necessary things.”

Lu Yu applauded and concluded, "Then pickle it in salt water! Don't change it, brother Xiao, you can simply tell a few clan elders what kind of food this salted egg is. Don't talk about the details. Let's get it started first." Their curiosity, let them itch for a while."

"Okay." Ye Chengxiao said with a doting smile, "Listen to you, I will tell them tomorrow."

Then Lu Yu gave them a detailed description of the characteristics and taste of salted eggs. Everyone present was very interested. Ye Han even stood up and suggested: "Or I will go to the village to buy it tomorrow." Come back with more eggs, can we start making salted eggs tomorrow?"

Ye Yuan was also impatient: "I think it's okay! Zhengjun, what do you think?"

Lu Yu smiled without hesitation: "Listen to you, Ye Han will go to the village tomorrow to buy some eggs and come back, Ye Zhi, you will go to the town tomorrow, we need a lot of sealed jars, you go to the one we often go to Order more from the shop. You also need to buy more salt, wine and seasonings.”

"I know." Ye Zhi nodded.

Ye Chengxiao also looked at Ye Zhi and said to him: "Look at what's missing at home, and buy them as well."

Ye Su said in time: "Ye Zhi went to buy more thick fabrics, and I will make two more thick clothes for you. It is getting colder and colder, and your current clothes can't survive this winter."

"Thank you, old lady." Ye Zhi was very moved after hearing this, he got up and solemnly bowed to Ye Su, Ye Yuan and Ye Han did the same.

Ye Su waved his hands and smiled lovingly: "You're welcome, we're all a family, and it's not a big deal to make a few clothes."

"Then let's get some more fabric." Seeing that the rest of the people looked puzzled, Lu Yu immediately explained: "After the elder brother gets married, we will prepare to buy more people when we come back. This is not to buy the fabric in advance and give them first You can also make two sets of clothes, but you can’t do so many clothes, so let Aunt Ye Li help you. I heard from Ye Rou that Aunt Ye Li’s needlework is also very good. Give it to her."

"Yes." Ye Su nodded, then looked at Lu Yu and said hesitantly, "But she definitely won't ask for wages."

Lu Yu's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "We can prepare a piece of thick cloth for each of her and Ye Rou. This will be regarded as her wages, so that Auntie will not be able to refuse."

"That's a good idea." Ye Su nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Yu shook his head, and his tone was very proud: "I don't want to see who thought it!"

"You~" Ye Su stood up and pointed Lu Yu's forehead with her index finger, then smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's all go back and rest."

Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Chengxiao walked out of the gate to find some clan elders, he saw Village Chief Ye walking towards him. Ye Chengxiao raised his eyebrows and walked a few steps faster. Chang also spotted Ye Chengxiao in front of him, and he also began to speed up towards Ye Chengxiao.

Ye Chengxiao looked at the blue and black under the eyes of Village Chief Ye, and thought that Village Chief Ye might be so worried that he didn't sleep all night, it seems that he really encountered a problem.

These thoughts were fleeting, Ye Chengxiao quickly restrained his mind, looked at Village Chief Ye who was getting closer and closer to him, and asked, "Village Chief, are you here to find me?"

Village head Ye nodded with a worried face, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't say it, as if it was very difficult to say: "I have something to ask you."

"Then let's go inside and talk?" Ye Chengxiao suggested to Village Chief Ye, pointing to the house behind him.

Village Chief Ye's frown relaxed a little, and he gave Ye Chengxiao an ugly smile: "Okay." Then he asked in embarrassment: "Will it delay your work? I think you seem to have something to do." To do."

"It's nothing serious." Ye Chengxiao smiled and shook his head: "This matter has something to do with you, let's go in and I'll talk to you in detail."

After hearing Ye Chengxiao's words, Village Chief Ye finally loosened his brows completely, and felt relieved a lot. He showed a sincere and relaxed smile: "Then let's go in and talk."

"Brother Xiao? Why are you back?" Lu Yu was playing in the house with the cutie in his arms. He felt Ye Chengxiao's footsteps. He raised his head to look at the door and found that it was Ye Chengxiao who really came back. He asked a little surprised.

Ye Chengxiao smiled, and secretly pointed behind him with his index finger. Lu Yu understood, and silently asked: Village chief?

The arc of Ye Chengxiao's mouth widened a little more. At this time, Village Chief Ye also came forward. Lu Yu quickly put down the cutie, stood up straight, and greeted Village Chief Ye with a smile: "Village Chief."

"Brother Yu is here too, I didn't bother you, did I?" Village Chief Ye smiled, this smile was two points more gentle than the one outside the door just now.

"No, please sit down, the village chief. Let's chat first." Lu Yu said, "I'll ask someone to pour you tea." After speaking, Lu Yu picked up the cutie and went out.

"Sit down." Ye Chengxiao also said with a smile.

Village Chief Ye responded, "Hey, good."

The two were silent for a while again, and Village Chief Ye looked at Ye Chengxiao several times and hesitated to speak, but they always ended with him patting his thigh and sighing silently.

Seeing this, Ye Chengxiao didn't know what to say. It felt strange for him to raise this matter first, as if deliberately poking his sore spot, and if Village Chief Ye didn't say anything, Ye Chengxiao could only pretend I don't know yet.

Until Lu Yu brought Ye Han in, Ye Chengxiao and Village Chief Ye still didn't say a word, and Ye Chengxiao watched Village Chief Ye struggling alone.

Ye Han left after pouring tea for them, but Lu Yu didn't go out, and sat directly beside Ye Chengxiao, secretly asking with his eyes: Didn't you say anything?

Ye Chengxiao nodded invisibly: He hasn't spoken yet.

Lu Yu: "..."

Lu Yu adjusted his facial expression, and then showed a very standard smile: "Village chief, have some tea. What is the reason you came to see us? I think your complexion is not very good."

Village Chief Ye showed a wry smile, rubbed the center of his brows and sighed before saying in a low voice, "You must have heard about what happened yesterday, right?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao asked in unison, innocent and ignorant.

Village Chief Ye: "..."

Village Chief Ye sighed again very tired and said: "Don't pretend, the whole Ye Family Village knows about it, my nephew did a good deed."

Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao smiled awkwardly, and then Lu Yu asked fearlessly, "Village Chief, can I ask you something?"

Village Chief Ye nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "Ask whatever you want."

Seeing that Village Chief Ye agreed, Lu Yu closed his eyes and opened his mouth: "Did you know beforehand?"

Village Chief Ye: "..."

Village Chief Ye: "..."

Village Chief Ye: "..."

Village head Ye wanted to slap the table vigorously with his hand, but he had already raised his hand. Seeing Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao who were opposite him helplessly put their hands down again, he took a deep breath. cO. m.ninth.Chinese.Wang breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists to answer Lu Yu's question: "I don't know, if I knew..." Village Chief Ye did not continue with this sentence, nor did he intend to continue.

Village Chief Ye was silent for a moment before Lu Yu and Ye Chengxiao could open their mouths and continued to sigh with a sad face: "And I also heard that some people in the village plan to re-elect the village chief."

Lu Yu asked in surprise, "You know everything?"

Village Chief Ye nodded with a wry smile: "There are no secrets in this village."

Ye Chengxiao touched the rim of the cup and asked, "Then what are you going to do, village chief?"

Village Chief Ye looked up at Ye Chengxiao and shook his head: "I don't know yet, isn't it cheeky to ask you guys? I...I really have no other choice."

"We really have a good idea." Ye Chengxiao pondered for a moment and continued: "Village chief, what do you plan to do with Ye Mingzhi?"

Village Chief Ye gritted his teeth, then pursed his lips tightly, lowered his eyes, clenched and loosened his hands on his thighs, and went back and forth several times. Then he took a long breath and raised his eyes seriously. Spit out two words: "Eliminate the clan."

Lu Yu's eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened slightly and he looked at Village Chief Ye in shock: "So serious?!"

Village Chief Ye hunched a little more, and his shoulders were a little slumped. He closed his eyes and shook his head: "This is not decided by me alone, it is decided by the clan elders."

Lu Yu quickly calmed down. He also knew in his heart that in feudal society, it was a serious crime to become pregnant out of wedlock. He asked Village Chief Ye in a low voice: "Then are they going to leave Yejia Village?"

"I don't force it." Village Chief Ye shook his head: "They can stay or leave if they want, but the genealogy of Ye Family Village doesn't have their names anymore."

The three people in the room remained silent for a long time, and then Ye Chengxiao broke the silence: "What do the clan elders think about the re-election of the village chief?"

"They don't have a clear opinion." Village Chief Ye took a sip of his tea before sighing, "I can't guess either."

After Lu Yu glanced at Ye Chengxiao, he turned to Village Chief Ye and asked, "Village Chief, do you still want to continue to be the village chief?"

Village Chief Ye nodded without hesitation and said in affirmation: "Of course I do. My father fought hard for me to win this position. Since I was a child, I wanted to be a good village head like my father, but now it's obviously not what I want. .”

Village Chief Ye's voice trembled a little at the end of his speech. It could be seen that he really took the position of village chief very seriously, and he really wanted to be a good village chief.

Ye Chengxiao looked at Lu Yu, who nodded to him.Ye Chengxiao said calmly: "We have a way to keep your position as village chief."

"What?" Village Chief Ye looked excited, his eyes flashed, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably: "Xiaozi, what did you say?"

Ye Chengxiao said this sentence again slowly and seriously: "I said we have a way to let you continue to be the village head."

"This..." Village Chief Ye was even more excited and incoherent: "This... this is... I... I... I don't know what to say." Rubbing his thighs with both hands to relieve excitement and tension.

Ye Chengxiao and Lu Yu didn't look different when they saw his appearance. Ye Chengxiao calmly told Village Chief Ye about their plan. After hearing this, Village Chief Ye's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked up: " Not only I thank you, but the whole Ye Family Village would also like to thank you, without you, we probably would never have a better life in our next life."

"You're serious." Ye Chengxiao smiled and said, "Then let's talk to the clan elder about it later?"

"Let's go now." Village Chief Ye looked very impatient, and stood up after speaking. The expression on his face was not as heavy as before, and his face was relaxed and excited. If you look closely, you can find his dark cheeks There is also some redness.

Ye Chengxiao didn't reject Village Chief Ye's proposal either, he nodded and went out with Village Chief Ye to find some clan elders.
