The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

When I woke up, the setting sun was already setting over Xishan Col.

The sunset in the sky is dazzling.

Xu Yin opened the curtains with voice control, put on a pajamas and sat on the rocking chair on the west terrace, admiring the sunset for a while before walking out of the room.

After catching up on my sleep and taking a handful of health pills, I felt much better.

She held a thermos cup filled with wolfberry and red date tea, and while drinking, she walked around and visited the old house that Grandpa Xu had carefully renovated.

This is a typical three-heyuan courtyard with three main rooms facing south and two wing rooms on each side.

The layout of the yard is similar to that of many local homes, but there is something special inside the house.

Grandpa Xu asked the designer to open up the three main houses and turn them into a suite with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. Compared with the Xu family’s old house in the capital, the area is as small as a sparrow’s belly, but it has complete functions: a bedroom with bathroom, a bathroom with There is a living room in the study and a tea room for entertaining guests.

The bathroom with a large massage bathtub is located just to the east. The entire wall is covered with coated glass. Sitting in the bathtub and taking a bath, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the terraced tea garden scenery outside without being seen by outsiders. .

The kitchen is located in the east wing, near the courtyard door. It not only has a traditional firewood stove, but also has electric stoves, ovens, steamers, dishwashers and other equipment.

There is a big benefit to the kitchen being far away from the main house - it has less fumes and is quieter.

Next to the kitchen is the dining room, and the two are connected.

The walls of the restaurant are all insulated and explosion-proof double-glazed, which is very bright.Sit in the restaurant to dine. In winter, you can close the roller blinds to enjoy the sun. In summer, the place is shaded after noon, so you can eat and enjoy the scenery at the same time.

There is a wind and rain-proof corridor in front of the east and west wing rooms, connecting the main house.

In other words, if you live here, even if it rains, you will not get caught in the rain if you go to any room without an umbrella.

The west wing rooms are all guest rooms.

The old man considered that after he came here to retire, his two sons might bring their families to visit him during the holidays, so he opened up the two deep side rooms and converted them into four standard suites with bathrooms. The smell of hotels and B&Bs.

All rooms are equipped with floor heating, fresh air systems and air-conditioning outlets, and curtains and lights are voice-activated.

There is also an accompanying intelligent robot in the main house that was developed by the Xu Group more than ten years ago. However, since knowing that she wanted to live here, Xu Chengyi took the chip to the technical team to repair and upgrade it.

Xu Yin saw Xiao Tao and Aunt Song busy in the kitchen, so she didn't bother them and walked slowly to the back of the main room.

The backyard is a lush lawn that has been recently cut. It is soft and elastic when you step on it.

There is a row of transplanted ginkgo trees along the wall.

After more than ten years of growth, the ginkgo tree has grown taller and larger, and will surely turn golden in autumn.

There is also a row of houses next to the gate of the backyard, which are used to store some sundries, tools, or firewood and smokeless charcoal needed to fire the kitchen stove.

When the courtyard door opens, I don’t know what the scenery is like.

But Xu Yin didn't walk over.

She wants to retire here, and she will have plenty of time to explore in the future.

"Miss Xu!" Xiao Tao called her from the front:
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? It's time to eat!"

The first dinner in Taoli Village has the meaning of catching up with the wind and washing away the dust. It can be said that Aunt Song showed off her best cooking skills and wanted Xu Yin to eat and drink well.

"This fish is a local stream fish. Xiao Tao said that you can't eat fried and grilled fish that has a strong flavor, so I made it stewed, added a few morels and bamboo fungus, and only added a little salt for seasoning."

Xu Yin took a sip and gave Aunt Song a thumbs up: "Fresh!"

Aunt Song smiled: "Try this again. This is our hometown's recipe. I have slightly improved it. Qingquan Beef Stew. The beef is the most tender beef shoulder. It is tender and tough but not tooth-filling. It has a great taste." It’s also very refreshing.”

The vegetables are fresh and tender boiled asparagus, and there is also a three-threaded whitebait soup.

Rice is hand-milled, high-calcium rice that retains the most complete nutrients.

Xu Yin ate a piece of spring water beef, took a sip of the soup, and praised Aunt Song again: "Aunt Song, your craftsmanship is really good. Why don't you want to open a restaurant and become your own boss?"

"Hey! When you are your own boss, you have a lot to worry about. I just like to study food, and I don't like to use my brain in other aspects."

Xiao Tao echoed: "That's right, when you become a boss, you have a lot to think about. If the business is not going well, you have to think about how to reduce costs and expand profits. The cooking will not be as careful as when you are a cook."

"That's not true!" Aunt Song laughed heartily, "How can I feel more comfortable now? The ingredients are prepared by my employer, so I don't have to worry about it. I just need to do my part to cook the food, and I don't have so much burden on my heart. .”

Xiao Tao also feels the same way: "I have classmates who started their own businesses after graduation, but starting a business is not that easy. I saw them selling milk tea and fruit tea desserts. They posted advertisements on WeChat Moments at midnight every day, and started new business at five or six in the morning. It's a day of product promotion, and it's even busier on weekends and holidays. It seems like I'm tied to the store every day. If the business is good, it's okay, but if the business isn't good, they're tired. Of course, everyone's pursuits are different. Maybe I'm more comfortable with a nine-to-five job. The life of an office worker, I come to work and get off work at the same time, I don’t have to worry about profit, my salary can support myself, the company pays social security and medical insurance, I can relax and sleep in on weekends, and occasionally travel for a few days during holidays, I am very satisfied. ”

Xu Yin listened to their chat while eating.

This body has the appetite of a sparrow, so small.

I drank a small bowl of soup, ate two slices of beef, two creek fish, a few slices of mushrooms, all the asparagus, and two bites of rice, and I felt full.

Aunt Song and Xiao Tao ate separately: one meat, one vegetarian and one soup, which was the food standard written into the contract.The meat dishes are also made from local river fish, fried and then braised; the vegetarian dishes are stir-fried lettuce; the soup is tomato and egg soup.

Aunt Song packed the unfinished dishes in a crisper box and put them in the refrigerator. They will heat them up at noon tomorrow and add fresh vegetables.

However, she didn't expect that Xu Yin's appetite was so small that she didn't even finish the normal portion for one person. It seemed that she would have to reduce the amount of ingredients in the future, otherwise she would be criticized by her employer.

She has been working in this industry for more than ten years, and the reason why she has received five-star reviews from every employer is that she never covets her employer's things.

No matter how greedy she is, she will not steal the ingredients that her employer eats.Only when her employer explicitly told her to throw away the leftovers, she kept them for herself to eat. It felt like a waste if she didn't eat them.

This is also the most important point why Xiaotao chose her.

Xiao Tao knew the family background of the Xu family. If he hired a greedy person, not only would he be in trouble in the future, but he might also be implicated in her. After all, she was the one who hired him through the interview.

However, neither Aunt Song nor Xiao Tao expected at this moment that Aunt Song was not the cook Xu Chengyi found for his sister.

The nutritionist he really wants to hire has not yet arrived. When someone arrives, Aunt Song's existence will only be to help the nutritionist and cook for others.

Otherwise, he would leave the interview for such an important role to Xiao Tao?
