I rely on pancakes to become rich [farming]

The peddler carrying sugar, water and sweets all day long came back home, and the wife of the family eagerly came out and grabbed his sleeve: "Master, hurry, go to the assorted food!"

The peddler was stunned for a moment, put down his pole and rubbed his shoulders: "If you want to eat anything, just buy it yourself."

"Oh, it's not about buying food!" The woman was impatient, and she dragged him out, saying as she walked, "Boss Yan, the assorted food, said that he wanted to recruit the best food in our town, and rent assorted food." The food stalls are coming out!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated: "Is this really true? So Boss Yan is so kind?"

Boss Yan is willing to release a stall as popular as mixed food to outsiders?

"It can be fake! Old man Sun moved in a few days ago, and he has made a lot of money in the past few days. I saw him cut off a whole pig's hind leg this afternoon, and said he would go back to give his granddaughter a boost." Mile!"

The salesman muttered with some doubts: "Old man Sun has never even married a daughter-in-law, where did he get his granddaughter?"

However, to get in touch with assorted food, this kind of good opportunity can't be let go!Even if it is possible to make a trip in vain, you have to try your luck!

I don’t see that Zhao Mason’s family, who used to be a bricklayer business was bleak, and barely had enough food and clothing. Later, he got in touch with the shopkeeper, Yan, and cut some rusty leaves outside the town every day to resell assorted food. Soon he prospered!Now the whole family lives in a big house, and the masons don't work anymore. They built a shed outside the town and planted rusty leaves!

After taking two steps outside, the shopkeeper suddenly stopped: "No, wait a minute."

The woman was dragged to a stop and almost fell, she couldn't help but raised her brows, and stared: "Damn, what are you waiting for? Go late and be careful that all the stalls have been robbed."

The shopkeeper rummaged through his box of sugar figurines, carefully brought out a few exquisite sugar figurines, and scolded: "You woman, you have short-sightedness! Boss Yan is such a capable person, how can this stall be a big one?" Did you just give it away? We have nothing to prove, even if we are the first to arrive, we may not be able to snatch it, we still have to bring someone to eat, and invite Boss Yan to try our craft."

The woman thought for a while, turned her anger into joy, and said angrily: "The head of the house is still thinking carefully, let's go quickly."

Similar situations happened in the homes and alleys of countless small traders in the town.

This is exactly what Yan Moji wanted.

Assorted food wants to grow bigger, but it is impossible to count on itself forever.

Yan Moji naturally knew this in his heart.On the one hand, he would definitely not have enough energy and time to rely on himself alone; on the other hand, if a chain store does not have the support of many parties, even if it can flourish, it will only be a temporary building, and it may not last for a long time.

More people and more businesses should be tied to the big boat of assorted foods, so that the interests of assorted foods are closely related to the interests of more people, and let them consciously maintain and praise assorted foods, in order to ensure the prosperity and stability of assorted foods.

Therefore, leasing the stalls to other delicacies was in Yan Moji's plan from the very beginning, otherwise he would not have deliberately divided so many small stalls when expanding the assorted cuisine.

Of course, not all snacks are eligible to enter the mixed food.It is no exaggeration to say that the current customer flow of Assorted Foods is the number one in the town. When Yan Moji chooses the snacks to be joined in Assorted Foods, he also tastes them himself and has a good chat with the stall owner to confirm that the other party's character is trustworthy. will sign the contract.

Yan Moji doesn't have high requirements for these "partners". They need to pay a fixed amount of booth fees, dress and behave according to Assorted Foods, and regular inspections of hygiene and food safety by the Assorted Foods staff are enough.

And after Yan Moji's review, all the food that joined the mixed food, all the diners who came to the mixed food praised, and the business was booming.Assorted Food has people coming and going every day, from early in the morning to late at night, Yan Moji recruited another staff to barely cope with the flow of customers.

The food delivery business of the franchised stalls is also booming.Because Yan Moji added the share of takeaway to the stall fee, so these stalls can directly use the "Little Blue Clothes" takeaway of Assorted Food, but the accounts have to be done separately.

Accounting is more important, and the people who can read and write in the store are either not good enough or not enough to be trusted.Yan Moji thought for a while, hired an accountant, and after consulting Aunt Zhang's opinion, he transferred Zhang Sanlang to the takeaway bookkeeping post, and asked him to work with the accountant for a while.

Not to mention, Zhang Sanlang is quite talented in mathematics. Yan Moji has cared about him a few times, and his accounts are calculated accurately and quickly. The professional accountant is full of praise, which makes Yan Moji have him for a long time. Stay on the idea of ​​jambalaya.

In this way, Assorted Food has completely become the number one snack in the town. Many people even think that only food that has been certified by Assorted Food can be regarded as real food.

Yan Moji was so busy that he was running around because of these things.

That day, Yan Moji had just arrived at Shijinshi, when he saw Li Si walking over with a strange expression: "Boss, someone wants to see you."

Yan Moji thought it was a businessman who came to discuss cooperation, nodded: "He came to rent a booth? I'll see him later."

"No." Li Si's face became even weirder, "It's your natal family."

Maternal family?

Yan Moji was stunned for a moment before realizing that it should be referring to the original body's relatives.

The original relatives...

Yan Moji slightly raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of playfulness in the corners of his eyes.

The original body was kidnapped and trafficked, and was sold to a family named Qiao when he was young.This family is not a good person. Although Yuanshen's temperament and character have his own reasons, most of them are still influenced by these so-called "mother's family".

The Qiao family gave birth to several daughters in a row, and bought the original body, originally intending to raise the original body as a parent and child, so as to provide them with retirement in the future; however, not long after buying the original body, Qiao's mother became pregnant again. This time, a boy was successfully born, and the whole family was very happy.

As a result, the status of the original body was quickly reduced, and it became an existence similar to a servant of a wealthy family. He was called around every day and insulted at every turn. When the original body was still young, he wanted to escape several times to find My real family members would be beaten every time they were caught and returned, and they would also starve for several days.

Repeated this several times, the temperament of the original body was worn out, and he spent the whole day with Qiao's family in a muddle-headed way.

The Qiao family and his wife sell wine for a living. The whole family is fond of wine and gambling. Yuan's gambling addiction is also learned from the Qiao family.

The original body was terrified of being beaten, and had always had a fearful and submissive mentality towards the Qiao family and his wife. Yan Moji, who had traveled over, did not. Seeing what the Qiao family and his wife did in the memory of the original body, he hated this family so much Extremely, I don't want to have anything to do with them at all.

——Anyway, the married daughter... Bah, the water thrown by the married son, according to the ancient ethics, there is nothing to blame for him breaking the relationship with the Qiao family.

It has been half a year since the original body married Ji Mingwu. During this time, no one from the Qiao family has ever asked about Yan Moji's condition. Obviously, the Qiao family doesn't care at all about how the bought son is doing after he gets married. .

Why did you suddenly come to see him again today?

Yan Moji pondered for a while, and decided to meet up first, to see what kind of medicine Qiao's family sells in the gourd.

When Yan Moji saw someone who called himself "mother's family" in the backyard, Yan Moji was slightly taken aback.

The person who came was a young woman in a pink and white embroidered dress with light makeup on her face. She was looking around in the small courtyard, but when she saw Yan Moji, her eyes lit up and she warmly greeted her: "Brother Moji! haven't seen you for a long time!"

This is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, about the same age as the original body.

Before Qiao Dani got close, Yan Moji smelled a pungent smell of face powder, which made him choke, and subconsciously took a step back: "Long time no see, what are you doing here?"

Qiao Dani pouted: "Brother Moji, are you married to me? I just came to visit you, to see if you are doing well these days."

Yan Moji raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer.

Since the original body got married, for nearly half a year, the Qiao family has been indifferent, but now that the assorted food shop has grown, Qiao Dani has started to care about her well-being?

Qiao Dani glanced around the courtyard just now, Yan Moji could see all the surprise and greed in her eyes.

Seeing that Yan Moji didn't answer, Qiao Dani opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Seeing her cheap brother again after half a year, Qiao Dani originally thought that even if Yan Moji was rich, he would still be as cowardly as he used to be at home, but when we met this time, he seemed to have changed a lot.

There is a bit of sharpness hidden in the calm eyes, which is not at all lifeless and obedient at home before.

Not to mention anything else, just by putting himself in this courtyard without watching the tea being poured, it can be seen that he is not as obedient as before!

Hmph, it's not because of luck that you can make money, so your heart is wild!

Qiao Dani cursed inwardly, rolled her eyes, and put on a smiling face again: "Brother Moji, how are you doing these days?"

Yan Moji was thinking about how much time he could spare to waste with Qiao Dani, and he replied absent-mindedly: "It's pretty good."

"That's right, brother Moji, you have opened such a big shop now, and you've made a lot of money, so your life is going well." Qiao Dani suppressed the sourness in her stomach, and tried her best to look kind, "When I was at home, I didn't I can see that you have such a good craftsmanship."

——Hmph, such a big shop is full every day, I don't know how much money it can make!If this shop belongs to their family, the life of the family will be much better!

Yan Moji said perfunctorily: "When you are at home, you don't let me go to the kitchen, how can you see my craftsmanship?"

The whole family of the Qiao family is addicted to alcohol and gambling, and pays special attention to the appetizers. Qiao's mother cooks alone, and she is afraid that the outsider Yuanshen will eat and steal, so the back kitchen and warehouse have always forbidden Yuanshen to approach.

Qiao Dani choked for a moment, stroked her hair in embarrassment, and said awkwardly: "Isn't mother afraid that you don't like the smell of oily smoke in the kitchen..."

Yan Moji was a little impatient listening to her repeated sour words, and said patiently: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm still busy."

Seeing Yan Moji's impatience, Qiao Dani, who has always been domineering to him, felt a surge of anger in her heart, and immediately wanted to turn her face and scold others, thinking about the purpose of her visit this time, she forcibly endured it, and gathered her sleeves Li's hand grabbed himself hard, and pulled out a smirk: "It's like this, Brother Moji, at first we thought that you had a good life, so we were relieved; but a while ago, my parents heard that, You suffered some grievances at Ji's house, so let me ask to see what's going on."

He was wronged at Ji's house?

Yan Moji was startled for a moment: Why didn't he know?

"Who did you hear?"

Qiao Dani looked at his face, and tentatively said: "It's just rumors... I heard that the old couple of the Ji family robbed your pancake shop and wanted to take over the assorted food. Beat me up and lock you up at home and not let you go out?"

After hearing this, Yan Moji frowned tightly.

He directly entrusted Ji's mother to take care of the pancake shop, and he didn't go out a few days ago because he caught a cold and had a fever... It's all obvious things, how could there be such rumors?

Seeing Yan Moji's serious face, Qiao Dani thought she was right, her eyes lit up, she leaned over, and said in a low voice while the iron was hot: "Brother Moji, although you are married, you are still from our family after all. , you have been wronged, and your parents will not ignore it... These shops of yours are all yours and cannot be taken over by outsiders!"

——Hmph, she just knew that when a man marries into another man's family, what good fruit can he have?Who wouldn't guard against such a foreign man?The old couple of the Ji family were quick to act, and they managed to get the pancake shop just like that!

Yan Moji gave her a sideways look, and smirked: "Da Ni, you are right, these shops cannot be occupied by outsiders... But where do you hear these gossips?"

Qiao Dani's complexion changed slightly, and she forced a smile and said, "It's all what my mother heard from the customers who bought the wine, and no one can remember clearly."

Yan Moji turned around and asked a few more words, Qiao Dani was almost overwhelmed, and felt that this cowardly and stupid cheap brother in the past was now speaking as if he was carrying a knife, and every sentence cut to the core.

Anyway, the purpose of coming here today has been achieved, Qiao Dani hastily bid farewell.

Before leaving, Qiao Dani couldn't help but said again: "Brother Moji, if you want to make up, your parents can also use some strength."

After seeing off Qiao Dani, Yan Moji touched his chin with a serious expression.

He could tell what kind of idea Qiao Dani was up to. It was nothing more than taking a fancy to the huge profits of Assorted Foods and taking the lead for the original pair of adoptive parents.

Expecting to persuade him to reconcile with Brother Wu, and then he will go back to Qiao's house, and the assorted food shop will be transferred to Qiao's name smoothly?

The abacus is good, but it's a pity that Yan Moji doesn't accept this trick.

But aside from the thoughts of the Qiao family, Yan Moji is more concerned about the rumors circulating outside that slander his relationship with the Ji family.

The pancake shop was entrusted to Ji's mother. He did it in public, and Ji's mother didn't want the shop's contract. She just said to take care of it for him. It was obvious. Why did such rumors spread?

And it's only been a few days since he recovered from his illness, why did the unwarranted "dark room plot" spread?

This kind of rumor is definitely not something that can be spread by a few women with their idle mouths. It is likely that people with ulterior motives are targeting the assorted food!

This has to be taken seriously.

First of all, it is necessary to confirm whether these rumors are true or whether Qiao Dani fabricated them.

Yan Moji thought about it while pacing in the yard, found a few takeaways who were taking a break, and asked about it.

These deliverymen run around in the streets and alleys, and they should be quite clear about these gossips.

Of the six martial arts recruits recruited last time, two were divided into takeaways. The one taking a break now was the older man who spoke first during the interview. Yan Moji remembered that his name was Zhou Yanglai.

Ever since he was recruited by Mixed Food, Zhou Yang's spirit has changed a lot this week. He is well fed, warmly dressed, tall and tall, with a smile on his face.

Yan Moji also asked him to go takeaway because of his extroverted temperament - after all, he had to deal with the servants and managers of those big families, which represented the face of Assorted Foods.

Zhou Yang listened to Yan Moji's question, thought for a while, and nodded: "I have indeed heard these words... But how can we not know what the relationship between the boss and Mrs. Ji is? We didn't take it seriously."

It seems that the rumors are true.

Yan Moji asked some more details, thought about it for a while, first went to the pancake shop, and had a tentative chat with Mother Ji.

As Yan Moji expected, the dazed mother Ji knew nothing about this matter. She was busy all day in the pancake shop, and she had never heard of those rumors at all.

Yan Moji was actually a little skeptical. The rumor should have come from the people in the pancake shop, but he just asked Ji Mu, who knew nothing about the interpersonal relationship in the pancake shop, so she didn't think there was any problem.

Yan Moji sighed inwardly: Mother Ji is indeed that kind of simple and simple rural old mother, she might not be as good-minded as Aunt Zhang.

After thinking about it, he didn't reveal anything to Ji's mother, and turned to find Ji Mingwen.

This little girl is eccentric and has a lot of ideas, even Mother Ji can't compare to her when playing tricks.

Since Yan Moji discovered Ji Mingwen's intelligence, he has been cultivating her independent ability consciously or unconsciously these days, so he didn't treat her like a child, but told Ji Mingwen about it seriously.

Hearing that someone was spreading rumors about their Shijinshi and Ji's family, Ji Mingwen blushed with anger, patted his chest little by little, and said to Yan Moji, "Brother Moji, don't worry, I'm very happy." I'll find out for you soon, who is the one who dares to speak ill of our family!"

Ji Mingwen moved quickly. Due to his young age, the women who worked in the pancake shop were not very wary of her, and they had a sweet mouth, so they quickly found out who was gossiping behind her back.

The one who spread the rumors was a little girl who was the first to spread pancakes at the pancake shop. Yan Moji remembered that her surname was Zheng, and she was not engaged yet.

When the girl was pulled in front of Yan Moji by the two women, her face flushed red with fear in her eyes. When she saw Yan Moji, her face instantly turned pale.

Ji Mingwen looked at her bitterly, and asked, "Zheng Xiaoniang, what do we owe you for our assorted food? Why are you chewing your tongue behind your back?"

Zheng Xiaoniang bit her lower lip, lowered her head and said nothing.

Ji Mingwen asked a few more questions, but Zheng Xiaoniang just bowed her head in silence and didn't say a word.

When the little girl was about to lose patience, Yan Moji patted Ji Mingwen on the shoulder to comfort her, stared at Zheng Xiaoniang, and slowly said: "Zheng Xiaoniang, we think that we treat everyone well, and the wages are not cheap. The pay is higher than that of ordinary shops, as long as everyone does things in a safe manner, they will never be harsh. If you don’t want to work in Mixed Foods, just say so, why do you do such a thing?”

The two women who brought Zheng Xiaoniang here also worked in the pancake shop, and they also looked puzzled and resentful upon hearing this.

The wages paid to them by the assorted pancake shop are much higher than those of laundries, tailor shops, and restaurants, and a hundred times better than spinning cotton at home. Some of them work in the pancake shop, and some earn more than the men at home. There are many more, which one is not envied by the neighbors in the neighborhood?

Since I worked in a pancake shop, I got more wages when I took it back, and the life at home is getting better and better. I have meat to eat, and I dare to buy makeup powder. Go out and be proud!

At the beginning, I learned to make pancakes together, but I was not selected as a long-term worker by the mixed food, and my eyes were red with jealousy!And the one who refused by himself, now his intestines are green with regret!

Who doesn't cherish such an opportunity?Who is not grateful to the generous and capable boss, and working harder at the same time?

Work hard and get paid, they are not willing to be lazy!

Why is Zheng Xiaoniang so confused?

After hearing Yan Moji's words, Zheng Xiaoniang's face turned pale again, she suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth, and mustered up her courage to whisper: "Boss, I... I didn't talk nonsense! The Ji family is clearly sucking you up." Blood!"

Everyone present was taken aback.

After saying the first sentence, Zheng Xiaoniang seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and said straightaway: "Master, you are a capable person, you can make assorted food so big by yourself, we are all secretly grateful to you; But what does the Ji family have? The carpenter Ji is not only a lame man, but also has no skills. He is said to be a carpenter, but how many people in the town actually find him to be a carpenter? The old couple of the Ji family used to be just food deliverers. you?"

Zheng Xiaoniang paused for a while, seemed to take a breath, and then continued: "You are married to Carpenter Ji as a man's wife, and Carpenter Ji can take a concubine, but you can't. Doesn't this assorted food become the property of the Ji family? Is it wrong for me to say that the Ji family is sucking your blood! Master, I am doing it for your own good!"

Yan Moji was stunned for a while, then looked over carefully, and found that Zheng Xiaoniang had a stubborn face, obviously believing in what she said.

Looking at Ji Mingwen and Ji's mother, they both looked shocked; the two pancake shop women also looked between Ji's mother and Yan Moji hesitantly, obviously both were moved by Zheng Xiaoniang's persuasion up.

Yan Moji was silent for a while, frowned slightly, stared at Zheng Xiaoniang's eyes, and said slowly: "Let's not say whether what you said is right... This is not the reason for you to spread rumors. If you are really for me Well, tell me in private, isn’t it more useful than spreading rumors like this?”

Zheng Xiaoniang's face turned pale again, and she muttered and couldn't speak.

The others suddenly woke up, and looked at Zheng Xiaoniang with condemning eyes: they were almost coaxed by her!

If you really want the owner to break free from the shackles of the Ji family, why use such a method to ruin the reputation of the assorted food?Wouldn't it be better to remind the owner privately?

"Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Facing Yan Moji's persecution, Zheng Xiaoniang murmured for a long time, and finally confessed.

The person who instigated her to spread rumors was actually an acquaintance.

Wang Er.

Yan Moji was stunned for a while: "Wang Er?"

Ever since Wang Erlai was caught stealing the account book a few months ago, Yan Moji heard that his legs had been broken and he had been lying in bed all day, so he had forgotten about him; now if Zheng Xiaoniang hadn't said When he came out, he almost forgot the existence of this person.

What's the matter with him here?

According to Zheng Xiaoniang's account, Wang Er told her that if Yan Moji continues to be tied to the Ji family, sooner or later he will be sucked dry by the Ji family—Ji's father and mother only have Ji Mingwu as a male, so it's fine if he doesn't have money. With Yan Moji's blessing to make money, he will definitely give Ji Mingwu a concubine to continue his bloodline.At that time, the foundation that Yan Moji worked so hard to build, didn't it all fall on that child?It's good to have a bleak evening scene in the future!

The only way is to discredit the Ji family in advance and let Yan Moji and Ji Mingwu separate.

Wang Er gave Zheng Xiaoniang a sum of money, Zheng Xiaoniang was greedy for money, and thought that she was doing this for the good of her boss, so she began to speak ill of Ji's family everywhere, and she said it in a decent way, and she believed most of it when she said too much .

When the truth came to light, Zheng Xiaoniang's eyelashes filled with tears, and she cried, "Master, I know I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Yan Moji let out a sigh of relief, looked around at the eyes of everyone, and finally fell on Zheng Xiaoniang, and said slowly but firmly: "The rules of assorted food were made very clear when I invited you in. It doesn’t matter if there are mistakes in doing things, it’s fine if you do it well; if you deliberately do something that endangers assorted foods, I will not tolerate anything.”

Zheng Xiaoniang's expression turned pale again, she bit her lower lip, tears streaming down her face.

In fact, there was another reason she didn't say just now.

A capable person like the Dong family should not be restrained by the Ji family, he should have his own wife, concubine and children - but according to the law of this dynasty, when a man's wife gets married, his identity depends on his husband, and he cannot be regarded as an independent person , can no longer marry a wife; but if the Dong family can reconcile with the Ji family, then the Dong family will lose the status of a male wife and can marry a wife and take concubines normally.

In that case, I might, I might...

She raised her head quietly, and glanced at the handsome and indifferent profile of her boss through her teary eyes, her heart was full of pain and remorse.

Now the Dong family may have completely disliked her, even if the Dong family and the Ji family get together, they will definitely not give her another look...

...

Yan Moji didn't embarrass Zheng Xiaoniang too much, he deducted this month's wages and kicked her out.He couldn't afford to haggle over with a little girl who was thinking about it for a while.

As for what happened to Zheng Xiaoniang after she lost her job at Assorted Foods, he didn't care.

He reiterated the rules of mixed food in front of everyone, and then dismissed everyone and turned the matter over.

It's just that Ji's mother and Ji Mingwen's confused eyes after what Zheng Xiaoniang said gave Yan Moji a headache.

He didn't feel that the Ji family was "sucking blood" at all.On the contrary, if it wasn't for the help of a few trustworthy members of the Youji family, how much of the world would he be able to win by himself?

After the shop grows bigger, the share and monthly silver are strictly in accordance with the rules set by Yan Moji. The more you pay, the more you get back. You don't give less just because you're born with someone, and you don't give more just because you're close to someone. .

What's more, the original body also received a lot of favors from the Ji family. Yan Moji inherited his body, and of course he also had to inherit his favor.

Yan Moji persuaded Ji Mingwen and Ji's mother with good words, telling them not to dig into the horns, and urged them to go back to their posts.

After everyone dispersed, Yan Moji went to the small shop of mixed food alone.The original assorted food shop was remodeled from a tea shop, and later the shop expanded. Yan Moji did not connect this small shop with the new assorted food shop, but changed it into a small kitchen and warehouse, where he would often experiment with new ideas.

Now that there is no one here, Yan Moji pulled out a stool and sat down, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

——In fact, he was also influenced by Zheng Xiaoniang's words.

It's all nonsense about the Ji family sucking blood and occupying the shop.Yan Moji would neither feel that he was separated from the Ji family because of this, nor would he feel that someone could take the shop away from him.

only……

"Ji Carpenter can take a concubine to stay, but you can't."

Thinking of what Zheng Xiaoniang said, Yan Moji exhaled lightly, his expression lowered.

He almost forgot that this is an era when men and women can marry normally, and it is also an era where the continuation of children and the transmission of blood are more important than anything else.

In the society of the previous life, how many people regarded having a child of their own as a necessary part of life; when his parents were alive, they would often chat with him about "what if I have a grandson in the future".

Yan Moji didn't realize his sexual orientation until he went to university, and he thought about having a showdown with his family, but it was because his father was seriously ill and his mother was exhausted, so he didn't dare to say it; until his parents died of illness within a few years, he couldn't. Speak to the family.

After graduating, he gave up his job and started his own business from scratch. Even with his gifted memory, Yan Moji was still spinning desperately in different positions like a top, and had no chance of dating at all; when his career stabilized, he wanted to take a vacation. After taking a break, another plane crash happened, and I came to this world as soon as I opened my eyes.

At first, after knowing that men in this world can marry and marry normally, Yan Moji felt very shocked and very happy—in this way, wouldn't he be able to formally marry the person he likes and go out holding hands in a dignified manner? , without worrying about other people's eyes, and without considering the pressure of society?

After seeing that he has such a handsome husband, Yan Moji feels that spring has come - what a perfect starting point!What a perfect object!Two mediocre citizens living their lives sweetly, is simply the life Yan Moji wanted most in his previous life!

——However, he didn't realize until now that even though men and women can get married in this world, the concept of "there are three types of unfilial piety and having no offspring is the greatest" is still widely circulated.It doesn't matter if the family is poor. Many families with some wealth, even if they marry a male wife, will take a concubine to extend their descendants.

——Brother Wu...will he also take concubines in the future?

——Let’s not say that I am still a couple with Brother Wu in name only, even if I am really with Brother Wu, Brother Wu can withstand the pressure of the old couple of the Ji family and his inner desire for children, and live like myself Is it a couple for a lifetime?

Yan Moji bit his lip, his eyes were a little dazed.

He propped his face on his right arm, his eyes were scattered, and various thoughts were spinning in his mind. He leaned against the old solid wood square table and stared blankly for a while, when he suddenly heard a curious voice:

"Boss? What are you doing here?"

Yan Moji was startled, and quickly put away the emotions on his face, put on his usual expression, and looked at the woman dressed as a woman who came from the backyard: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something... how about Miss Wu?" Will you come here?"

Madam Wu held a few branches and leaves in one hand, and rolled her temples a little embarrassedly: "In a few days, it will be the memorial day for the dead son of the slave family, and the slave family has taken leave to go out and pick some wild leaves that he used to love to eat. Pay homage to him."

This Miss Wu is a random person who knows a little bit of cold energy. After being recruited into the mixed food, it happened to be in the middle of summer, and she was responsible for cooling down the cold food and fruits. The food frozen by her is cooler than the well water. , Even if it costs a penny, there are countless customers vying to buy it.

It was the first time Yan Moji knew that Mrs. Wu had a child.But seeing that she should be about [-] years old and dressed as a woman, it is normal for her to be married.

But the wild leaves that Mrs. Wu just mentioned...

Yan Moji looked at the handful of lavender and turquoise young leaves in her arms, and smelled the familiar fragrance, he couldn't help being a little surprised: Isn't this Chinese toon?

Aren’t Chinese toon buds and leaves in spring? Why are there still such tender leaves in midsummer now?

Lady Wu noticed Yan Moji's gaze, and said with a smile: "My master knows this kind of leaves? These leaves are planted near the cottage where my family used to live, and they just sprouted these few days."

Yan Moji hesitated for a moment: "Well, I do recognize it. This is called toon, and it is indeed edible... But I remember that toon sprouts in spring. It's midsummer, how can there be such fresh and tender toon buds?"

Mrs. Wu's eyes brightened: "The master is indeed an expert! The leaves I saw elsewhere all sprouted during Qingming! It's just that the whole family of my family used to practice this cold kung fu, and the surrounding area of ​​the thatched cottage is more beautiful than usual. It's colder, and the leaves bud out later than usual, too."

Hey, these martial arts also have the effect of cooling and keeping fresh?

Yan Moji was a little pleasantly surprised, and forgot the troubles just now, and thought to himself: If this is the case, recruit more martial arts people with cold internal skills and let them practice more in the cellar, wouldn't it be possible to artificially create the effect of a freezer?If summer freshness is preserved until winter, there will be more tricks to play!

Over there, Mrs. Wu caressed the Chinese toon in her hand affectionately, and sighed with nostalgia: "My children used to prefer to eat this leaf, and only ate the young shoots. When they get older, they will find it bitter..."

Yan Moji listened with a smile: "If it is a slightly older toon leaf, you can add salt and knead it, not only to get rid of the bitterness, but also to keep it longer."

These are side dishes that he often made at home when he was a child. A jar of pickled Chinese toon can be eaten for a long time.

"The master is really knowledgeable and talented. I don't know how to make a kneading method? The slave family wants to make a portion and sacrifice it to the dead son."

Yan Moji just didn't want to be alone and think wildly, so he called Mrs. Wu into the kitchen, washed her hands and showed her an example: "Wash the Chinese toon, remove the old stems, rub them on the cutting board, and add them from time to time. Two handfuls of salt..."

The fresh and tender Chinese toon tastes very delicious, whether it is boiled cold or fried, it is very fragrant; but the salt-rubbed Chinese toon has less umami than fresh Chinese toon, but the aroma will become more intense after being stimulated by salt rubbing. strong.

Kneading the toon is considered strenuous work, you need to work hard and repeatedly, you can't stop, Yan Moji's forehead sweats after rubbing for a while; on the contrary, Mrs. Wu looks thin and small, after all, she is a martial arts practitioner, she keeps moving and looks very relaxed.

Rubbing the toon and chatting about the daily life, Yan Moji asked casually: "Miss Wu, where is your husband?"

Miss Wu's hands paused, her expression dimmed slightly: "Run away."

Yan Moji was taken aback for a moment: "Run away?"

What does run away mean?

Mrs. Wu smiled lightly, and her subordinates began to knead again: "The whole family of the Nu family practiced this cold kung fu, which cost a lot of money; and because the couple of the Nu family had mediocre talents, they didn't achieve much. After a long time, the husband of the Nu family So he changed his mind and started stealing. Later, he stole from a group of thieves and was followed to the house. He tied up the slave's mother and son and threatened him to hand over what he had stolen. He left the slave's mother and son and ran away. gone."

Yan Moji's heart skipped a beat: "Then..."

"The child of my family was killed by those villains to vent their anger." Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly, "If a knight-errant hadn't passed by and rescued him, my family would have been humiliated and died by those people."

Yan Moji opened his mouth, but in the end he only uttered two words: "My condolences."

"It's okay, it's been a year, and the slave family has also looked away." Mrs. Wu suddenly smiled, with a stern look in her eyes, "Those who killed the slave's children were all killed by the benefactor; the slave family later found the slave's house." Husband, I chopped off his arm when I met him! It can be regarded as venting my anger for that child."

Miss Wu paused for a moment, and suddenly said with some self-deprecation: "When my master asked me if I was waiting for someone to kill someone, my slave was still in a cold sweat. If my master didn't even want to accept someone who hurt someone, then my slave could only continue wandering in the rivers and lakes." gone."

Yan Moji was silent for a while, feeling complicated, and sighed slightly
