Every day I want to quit my job and farm
Chapter 16 Welcome Guests
The corn sown early in the field is beginning to mature, and the weather is fine today, and I know it is called twitter.Shen Xi broke a piece of corn from the vegetable garden behind the house, and tore off the corn coat wrapped around it. The exposed corn kernels were so tender that water could be squeezed out.Taking the corn back to the house, Shen Xi grabbed the corn kernels one by one and put them in a bowl.Dr. Qiao was arranging the medicinal materials at the side: "It's a shame to break only one of you."
"I said earlier that you want to eat too." Shen Xie called Liu Feng to break some more, "I plan to fry them as snacks."
"That's a waste of oil." Dr. Qiao disagreed, "The water in the pot is cooked. Listen to me, don't fry it, boil it."
"That's not okay." Shen Yu broke the corn more and more vigorously, "I only make it if I want to eat it. If I don't want to eat it, why should I bother."
Dr. Qiao turned his head and glared at Shen Yu angrily: "You are just competing with me. You don't listen to a word I say."
Liufeng broke back three or four corns, and also sat down to pick the corn kernels.Shen Xi smiled: "What's the point of cooking every day, change the way of eating."
With a snort, Dr. Qiao stopped talking.The corn kernels from the three corns were filled into two large bowls, and the rest of the corn was not peeled. Shen Xi took the corn to the stove to wash it.Liufeng helped light the fire and cleaned the pot.Wash the corn, pour the oil into the pan, then add the washed corn and stir fry.After stir-frying, add appropriate amount of salt, then stir-fry again until the corn kernels are plump and shiny.
Shen Xie used a small bowl to divide the corn into four portions, and asked Liufeng to serve it to Dr. Qiao and his uncle.Watching Liufeng bring the bowl in, Dr. Qiao couldn't help swallowing, he could smell the aroma when frying.Two bowls of bright yellow corn were placed on the table, and Dr. Qiao stepped forward to smell them.
It smells so good, fried corn can be so fragrant?Dr. Qiao hurriedly sat down and took a bite with his chopsticks, biting down, the fragrance of corn exploded in his mouth.The uncle came into the room and saw that Dr. Qiao was eating deliciously, and smiled: "Is it delicious? Don't talk about wasting oil?"
Dr. Qiao held the bowl and turned to one side, unwilling to eat.Uncle shook her head helplessly, sat at the table and tasted the corn.
Holding the bowl, Shen Xi moved the stool to the door and sat down.With the slightest wind blowing, he was extremely satisfied eating the crispy corn kernels.
"I didn't expect fried corn to be so delicious." The uncle stopped after a few tastes, "Boy Shen knows how to eat it."
Shen Xi was speechless, how could he know how to eat it, in modern times this is an extremely common dish, every household can eat it whenever they want.But the common people in this world generally only need to eat enough, and they are not willing to put oil in the stir-fry, anyway, they can be cooked well.He didn't want to treat himself badly when it came to eating.
Day by day, the rumors in the village became more and more fierce. Shen Xi stayed at home all day long, not caring much about the outside world.Qiao Ke is used to being pointed and pointed at, and he just walks around when he encounters it.Dr. Qiao and his aunt were busy with the banquet, so they didn't have time to deal with it.
Soon it was the day before the confession banquet, and my uncle asked the woman he was close to to come to help tomorrow.Shen Hao and Liu Feng went to the county town to buy ingredients, originally only intending to invite some relatives and friends, but later several people from the village came to ask, and the uncle had no choice but to invite everyone in the village to have a feast.
Modern banquets have at least a dozen dishes, including all kinds of chicken, duck and fish.In this era, setting up a banquet is much simpler, just buy pork and make it into a big dish and serve it on the table.Shen Xi didn't understand these things, so he listened to his uncle.Liu Feng went to buy vegetables, he went home to deal with some things.
Shen Yu has never responded to the matter of buying a big house, and Zhou Guanshi has come to look for it several times but has not seen anyone, so the matter has been postponed.After returning home, Shen Xi took out the invitation card to Fengze and ordered him to send it to Steward Zhou and the crew who hadn't left the ship.The more people the better, it looks lively.
After Fengze left, Shen Xi looked at the account book and felt that he should give people more trust.This time he didn't check the accounts and went out with the invitation.
He had to deliver the invitation to Hong Yan himself, and Shen Yu stood in front of the gate of the Hong Mansion with a smile.The door opens, the concierge please come in slowly.
As soon as Shen Xi walked into the study, he saw Hong Yan looking at him resentfully.He sat next to Hongyan and handed out the invitation: "Excuse me."
Hong Yan casually accepted the invitation, continued to stare at Shen Yu with resentment and said, "Do you know that I haven't slept well recently?"
"You can't blame me." Shen Xi took a sip of tea, "The key lies in yourself. Although my aptitude is a bit weak, just because I am poor, wouldn't it be more proof of your ability to educate me? Besides, you have the heart to look at the big characters of the children. Don't you know?"
"Anyway, you have something to say." Hong Yan picked up the invitation and glanced at it, "Are you really planning to not give up until you achieve your goal?"
Shen Hao shrugged: "I'm halfway through things, so why not give up now? I don't want to give up either."
"I've never seen such a stubborn person like you." Hong Yan put down the invitation card, "I recognized my adoptive father with great fanfare, and paid for the school, just to buy the land in Wuhu Village. If this news spreads, do you think outsiders will miss Wuhu Village?" What is there in Lake Village that is worth your effort?"
"I like it, I'm happy." Shen Zhuo looked dead like a pig and was not afraid of boiling water, "I am willing. What can you do with me?"
"Wo can't wait to beat you up before throwing you out." Hong Yan gritted her teeth and said, "If it wasn't for the sake of the plot..."
With a snap of his fingers, Shen Xi got up and waved his hands in a happy mood and walked out, "You come tomorrow, maybe I will let go."
Hong Yan just wanted to roll his eyes, he picked up the invitation and looked at it again, then threw it on the ground.Not relieved, he stood up and stomped on the invitation a few times.I've never seen such a shameless person, blatantly threatening him!After getting angry, Hong Yan had to pick up the invitation again.
After delivering the invitations and buying the vegetables, Shen Xi and Liu Feng went back to the village in a bullock cart.Everyone in the village knew that Dr. Qiao's house would have a meal tomorrow, and they couldn't help swallowing when they saw Shen Xi buying them in big and small bags.Tomorrow, I have to empty my stomach and go eat meat!
The ox cart stopped in front of Dr. Qiao's house, and several people moved their things into the stove.Shen Xi also bought watermelons and hung them in the well to freeze.
When eating at night, Dr. Qiao's chopsticks kept picking up the watermelon.The big guy laughed unconsciously when he saw it.
After eating, Shen Xi sent Qiao Ke a large slice of watermelon.Qiao Ke has never eaten it, and thinks it is the most delicious thing in the world.
After talking to Qiao Ke, Shen Xi went home.Everyone go to bed early tonight, and get up early tomorrow morning to start working.
Zhao Wumo and Li Sansao came to help after breakfast, but when they entered the kitchen, they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw so many things.Only they know the meaning of this glance, both families have daughters who are waiting to be married, and when a good man comes out, of course they have to think about their own daughters.
When they were busy at work, Zhao Wuma and Li Sansao often inquired about Shen Xie.The main concern is whether Shen Xi is married or not, and whether there is someone he likes.
My uncle had never asked about these things before, so I honestly answered that I didn't know.Speaking of marriage, he felt that Boy Shen and Qiao Ke...
A few helpers set up tables, chairs and benches in the yard, and Shen Xi helped to see if there was anything missing.The children smelt the smell of meat and gathered around the kitchen, refusing to leave.After Liufeng asked Shen Xi for instructions, he took some snacks bought yesterday and gave each of the children a handful.
Tired, Shen Xi sneaked into the house to eat sunflower seeds.Not long after he sat down, Liu Feng said that Hong Yan had arrived.
Throwing down the melon seeds and clapping hands, Shen Xi went to greet her.In front of the courtyard gate, Hong Yan was getting off the carriage, and when he saw Shen Yu, he became angry.
With a smile on his face, Shen Xi cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that I sent out so many invitations. Mr. Hong was the first one to come."
"Fuck you." Hong Yan tapped Shen Yu's shoulder with the fan in her hand, frowned and looked at the room, "You live here?"
"Yes. Mr. Hong, please come in." Shen Xi led Hong Yan into the courtyard, and went directly to the bedroom to talk.
After the two entered the house, the villagers who came in advance saw a lot of discussion.Everyone was discussing who Hong Yan was, and he actually came in a carriage.Someone mentioned that before Shen Yu came out of the yamen, it is said that he bought a house in the county town.Everyone exclaimed for a while, buying a house in the county town is really rich.
Many women and elder brothers with children were tempted to find excuses to go home and let their daughters and elder brothers dress up before coming back.
inside the house.Hong Yan sat down and glanced at the melon seeds on the table, picked them up and peeled them slowly, "You like melon seeds so much? You can eat them wherever you go."
"To pass the time when I'm free." Shen Xi cracked melon seeds first-class, picked up the melon seeds and knocked them into his mouth, immediately the shells were shells, and the benevolence was benevolence.
Compared with Hongyan, eating melon seeds is elegant and slow, slowly peeling off the shell with both hands, and then eating the kernels.Hong Yan ate a melon seed and said: "I really can't figure out what is there in Wuhu Village that makes you miss? You have to stay here, there are so many good places."
"How should I say it. You don't understand even if I explain it." Shen Zhuo ordered Liu Feng to pour tea in, "Just treat me as nostalgic."
"Nostalgia?" Hongyan really rolled her eyes at Shen Hao this time, "Wuhu Village is not your hometown, so nostalgia."
Curling his lips, Shen Xi stopped talking.His savior is here.He hasn't repaid his favor yet, where can he go?Even if you want to change your place to live, at least you have to help Qiao Ke live a better life.The previous life was too tiring, to be honest he really didn't want to run around.
Shen Xi didn't have the energy and mind to travel around.Why travel all over the rivers and seas, see all the mountains and rivers, how can you feel comfortable in the bed?
At this moment, Liu Feng came to report that Steward Zhou and the crew had arrived.Shen Xi let Hongyan sit by himself, and he went to receive the guests.
Hong Yan sat alone in the room, frowning in confusion.Why did Shen Xie have to stay in Wuhu Village?
Outside the courtyard, Steward Zhou got off the carriage and saw Shen Xie smilingly greeted him: "Boss Shen, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Hearing this, Shen Hao smiled and said, "Blame me, I've been too busy recently. Manager Zhou, please come inside."
The crew also greeted Shen Yu, who received them one by one and led everyone to the hall to sit down.The crew chatted with Shen Yu about being on the boat, and it was only when Steward Zhou heard that Shen Hao had been to Fucheng.Steward Zhou had a lot of guesses in his mind, and his attitude became more respectful.
Sitting in the room feeling bored, Hong Yan took a plate of melon seeds to the hall to talk to everyone.Seeing that Hong Yan naturally sat next to Shen Xie, everyone knew that the two had a close relationship.Hong Yan is also considered a celebrity, Zhou Guanshi was surprised and praised Hong Yan and Shen Yan.
Shen Xi grabbed a handful of melon seeds and chatted with the crew while knocking.Hong Yan was very curious about the matter of Shen Xi on the boat, and listened with great interest.
Listening to what he had done before, Shen Xi felt that he had a lot of loopholes, thanks to the crew who didn't think much about it.
The atmosphere was quite good, the crew sent congratulatory gifts, and Manager Zhou also sent a copy.Hong Yan sent a copybook for Shen Xi to practice hard.
Accepting the copybook with a wry smile, Shen Yu repeatedly decided to practice his calligraphy well.Liufeng took down the empty plate, served some snacks, and delivered them inside and outside the house.Shen Xi took a sip of tea and said, "Where did Steward Yang go this trip? He promised me that if there are good things, let me pick them first."
A crew member laughed loudly: "Guard Yang mentioned it to us. You are the only one who dares to disturb Manager Yang's rest in the middle of the night."
"Who told me to be short-tempered." Shen Xie looked calm, "Guangshi Yang doesn't care, what are you talking about, kid."
