Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

A few days before the New Year's Eve, Xi Yanqing made another three boards of ice cream, about [-] sticks, and this was the last batch he made this year.

Everyone in Yuqingguo also rests during the Spring Festival, about ten days off, and during these ten days, no one usually does business.

Xi Yanqing planned to have a holiday after this batch was released, and it happened that he had to prepare some new year's goods a year ago, so he went to Shifu by the way.

Luo Fei felt that he had nothing to give to the Shi family, so he hurriedly bought a red jacket for Xiao Changle and a purse with the zodiac sign on it.Xi Yanqing took the ice cream along with her, and after delivering them, she talked with Shi Shi about her thoughts.

"You mean to teach the people under me how to make ice cream in the future?" Shi Shi asked while showing three ice cellar design drawings to Xi Yanqing.

"Yes. I didn't expect to find tooth powder before, and I wasn't sure if it could really make ice, so I never thought that I could sell ice cream in summer." Xi Yanqing said with a modest smile, "That's what I was thinking about at the time. Don’t be too idle in the winter, at least earn some money to live on. But now that ice can be made, and ice cream can continue to be sold in summer, then I’d better let Brother Shi lead someone to make this recipe. I'm alone in my place, Luo Fei is not convenient now, and even if we find relatives and friends, there is no place to make it, and we can't make much. But if you come to do it, Brother Shi, these will definitely not be a problem. "

"Brother Xi, to be honest, I have talked to you, Brother Li, about asking you for a prescription. But after all, you and Luo Fei came up with it. Your Brother Li does not suggest that I ask you for a prescription. Shi Shi sighed, "He's a guy. It's okay for friends to get benefits from him, but he won't take the initiative to do things for profit. Even if our original intention is to hope that everyone will get better and better, he also thinks that is against the law." His principle of doing things."

"Brother Li really thinks more. But I let this recipe out just like what you said, Brother Shi, I hope everyone will get better and better. This is resource sharing, let's maximize the benefits, and there is actually no harm. "

"Resource sharing, benefit maximization?"

"Yes, it is to share the available assets or knowledge, items, etc. with everyone, so that the benefits will increase." Xi Yanqing remembered, it seems that there is no word "resource" here?At least he's never heard of it here.

"It's an interesting statement." Shi Shi said, "If that's the case, let's talk about the details after that year. Now that you have taken the initiative to speak up, your Brother Li should not say anything more. I will think about who to take over this matter later. One piece. Brother Xi, don't worry, I will never treat you badly as a brother."

"Sure, then I'm going to buy some new year's goods in a hurry, so I won't stay here for a long time, and wish Big Brother Shi an early New Year in advance." Xi Yanqing clasped her fists.

"I also wish Brother Xi an early New Year's Eve, and Brother Xi will take Si Yuan and me to Brother Luo Fei on behalf of me." After Shi Shi finished speaking, he called the housekeeper, "Uncle Zhang, bring the things to Brother Xi."

"What?" Xi Yanqing was puzzled.

"Some New Year's goods. If it wasn't for the inconvenience of Siyuan, I originally wanted to deliver it to you personally. It just so happened that you came, so I wouldn't go there."

"Thank you Brother Shi and Brother Li." Xi Yanqing waited for a while, thinking that it should be some snacks for New Year's Eve, but the housekeeper brought two assistants to move here, and there were two big boxes full, The kind of big wooden box used for dowry in costume dramas!

"This..." Xi Yanqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Brother Shi, this is really too much." How about a better deal?What else would he buy after putting away these two boxes? !

"Not much." Li Siyuan came out slowly, "It's all food, and many of them are specialties sent by friends. It's just for everyone to try something new. There are also a few crabs in it. It's so cold that Luo Fei Eat less."

"Okay, then respect is worse than obedience. The younger brother will not be polite to the two elder brothers." Xi Yanqing watched the guys help him move the box out, and then helped him to the bullock cart parked outside the town with a cart .When he came out today, he came out with Luo Ji and Li Yuehua. His mother-in-law and uncle also wanted to buy new year's goods. He was shopping at the market when he went to Shifu.

"Yanqing, what is this?" Li Yuehua asked curiously.

"It's some New Year's goods from Shifu." Seeing that the box was sealed, Xi Yanqing didn't intend to open it.But the box is so big, there must be a lot of food in it, so he doesn't plan to buy it as originally planned, just buy some necessities, such as beef and pork, and firecrackers. Finished, bought new shoes, got food ready.Speaking of which, I haven't heard much firecrackers in the city for a long time, so I can set off enough firecrackers now!

"By the way, brother, have you bought the red paper?" Xi Yanqing almost forgot that they still have to write Spring Festival couplets.

"I bought it. I bought a roll." Luo Ji still remembered that he used to write Spring Festival couplets at the village chief's house, and Zhang Yangfan gave them to his family last year.Originally, I thought I would have to go to the village chief's house again this year, but now I don't need it, Xi Yanqing can write.

Along the way, Xi Yanqing was thinking about what kind of Spring Festival couplets to write, chatted with Luo Ji and Li Yuehua by the way, and hurried home quickly.

The ox cart arrived at Luo's house first, and Li Yuehua took all the things she bought out of the cart, and then Luo Ji went to Xi Yanqing's place with Xi Yanqing.Luo Ji helped Xi Yanqing move the box out of the car, originally planning to drive the ox cart back, but Xi Yanqing refused.

After Xi Yanqing told Luo Fei that the box was a New Year gift from Shifu, he opened it and took out some that could be distributed to the Luo family, such as venison, crab, pork, and a roast duck. There are several snacks, frozen fish, flour...

There is no need to buy New Year's goods at all, it is completely the top version of New Year's goods.

Luo Ji said repeatedly: "Enough is enough, Xidi, you keep it for food."

Luo Fei sat on one of the empty boxes: "There are so many, how can I finish it, brother, just take it."

Xi Yanqing took out about a quarter, and planned to give the rest to Han Yang and Han Xu's family.As for Luo Yong and Jing Rong, needless to say, they are definitely going to come to his house to celebrate the New Year together, so they can just eat at their place, at most, they can make ready-made ones for them.

"Did you tell Brother Shi about the ice cream?" Luo Fei waited for Luo Ji to go back, and asked Xi Yanqing.

"Well. I guessed right before. Brother Shi originally had such an idea, but he didn't have anything to say. But we didn't talk about it in detail. We will talk about the details after an agreement is made." Xi Yanqing put pork chops, crabs, venison legs, etc. Take them outside to freeze, and then put the dim sum in a cool and ventilated place, "Daughter-in-law, after dinner, can you help me cut the paper? I'll write some Spring Festival couplets."

"Okay, I want to draw something else. Brother Qing, do you think we can make window grilles? I will draw it, and you can carve it with a knife. I saw that when Han Xu got married before." Luo Fei There are ready-made pictures in the mind.

"Yes, as long as you tell me which part needs to be peeled off." Xi Yan took off her thick clothes and sat on the kang to relax for a while.Luo Feite thoughtfully helped him put dinner on the kang table, including steamed buns and cabbage ball soup.The soup was made after he came back, so the balls didn't fall apart at all, and they tasted very delicious, and the shredded cabbage soaked up the soup, so it tasted delicious.

"Our family is probably the only one in the village who eats so well, thanks to Brother Qing." Luo Fei had been waiting for Xi Yanqing before, and now he ate with him, enjoying the soup.

"I think you are the lucky star. If it wasn't for selling purses and getting to know Shi Shi and Li Siyuan at the beginning, things might not have gone so smoothly after us." Xi Yanqing smiled, "Speaking of it, this seems to be the first time since I was an adult. Someone will celebrate the New Year with you."

"Ah? No way..." Luo Fei was a little surprised, "Aren't you going to Liang Boyuan's house?"

"I went there once. But how should I put it, there is a feeling that I can't fit in." Xi Yanqing still remembers that he went there two days before that year because his aunt kept asking him to go there together. Rested from some injuries, so went.But later I found that I was not used to it.Because his uncle is the boss of the family and manages a large company, many relatives came to the family during the holidays.And he was very uncomfortable there, as if he was in two worlds with them.Especially when everyone was talking about past years, he could just sit there and listen.In fact, he could feel that only his aunt and Liang Boyuan sincerely welcomed him, others...

"Where there are many people, there are many things. But it doesn't matter, I will accompany you in the future." Luo Fei scooped up two balls for Xi Yanqing, "No, it should be us."

"Yes, we can't leave our children behind." Xi Yanqing looked at Luo Fei's stomach with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, do you feel it? Your stomach seems to be bigger than before." In the past, you only felt it when you were full. My stomach is bigger, and I feel a little bulging even if I eat or not.

"It's normal... I hope it's not me who is fat!" Luo Fei didn't dare to poke hard, but he also noticed that his belly is getting bigger, commonly known as: starting to show his bosom.

Xi Yanqing looked at it for a while longer, and when he finished eating, he went to pack it up.Luo Fei took a moment to cut the paper.He calculated the total size of the paper and how many couplets of Spring Festival couplets he could cut out, and then printed them on the line, trying not to waste them.

After Xi Yan cleaned the dishes, he went back to the house and wrote down the Spring Festival couplets he thought about on the road first on a piece of waste paper for Luo Fei to choose.

Luo Fei looked at it and chose: the family will be happy and prosperous, and the Year of the Dog will be prosperous and prosperous.Horizontal batch: Joy always exists.

Xi Yanqing held Luo Fei's hand, wrote the Spring Festival couplets together, and let them air dry naturally. Afterwards, the young couple chatted and had a rare early sleep.

Now I can really rest for a few days.

Xi Yanqing really thought so before going to bed, but unexpectedly heard Jing Rong say that she was going to slaughter a sheep the next day.

Now it's over, killing sheep, burning wool, heating hot water, dividing meat... Xi Yanqing has been busy for another whole day.In the afternoon, he thought he could have a good rest now, right?Who knew there were so many people asking to write Spring Festival couplets!

Originally, no one outside knew that Xi Yanqing would write Spring Festival couplets, but Li Yuehua inadvertently mentioned to someone that Xi Yanqing would write this year's Spring Festival couplets.Who told Xi Yanqing to be kind?As long as there is no suspicion on weekdays, he will definitely help.

There are more than 40 households in the village, and Xi Yanqing shared almost half of the burden. I didn’t finish writing until I ran out of words.

"If I knew I should have called your boy for help, I could have written less." Xi Yanqing stared at Jing Rong across the table.His family shared half of the sheep, and then Jing Rong and Luo Yong came to him to eat mutton and drink mutton soup.

"It takes more work for those who can. Twenty couplets are just a matter of raising your arms for you?" Jing Rong said, "When are you making dumplings? I can come and help."

"Can you make dumplings?" Luo Fei asked.

"I can roll the leather. The bag is not very good, it is easy to break."

"That's fine. I can't roll the dumpling wrappers well! Then it's settled, you all come to help when making dumplings! Brother Qing chops stuffing, Luo Yong and noodles, can you?" Luo Fei said, "It's better to make dumplings for me." It can be wrapped very quickly, let’s wrap more and freeze it, and we can cook it anytime we want to eat.” The temperature here, once the dumplings are wrapped and placed outside, they will be frozen through in a while, and there is a Natural big refrigerator!

"Then how about tomorrow?" Luo Yong said, "I've been craving dumplings for a long time."

"Then I'll come over tomorrow when I finish herding the sheep." Jing Rong said, "Tomorrow the time will be shorter." In fact, there is nothing to eat outside right now, but the sheep have to go out every day. Run, loosen your muscles and bones, just like people, it won't work if you are locked up for a long time, and you will easily get sick.

"Then I'll go and bring the meat into the house in a while." Xi Yanqing reckoned that his family's pork would take a whole night to melt in the house.The gifts received at home, plus what he bought himself, were all large pieces of pork.One piece of tilapia was cut, and it was said to be eaten when it was eaten.There was also a large piece that was not cut.Use this to make dumplings!

There are almost two big slices of pork, which can make a lot of dumplings.

When Luo Fei first came here, he always thought about when he would be able to eat well, but he didn't expect that he could already eat so well in the first year.Although it is not always possible to eat like this, it is also very happy to be able to live such a rich year!It also gives people more hope for the future.

The next morning, Xi Yanqing got up to wash and chop the meat, while Luo Yong kneaded a large bowl of noodles.Before Jing Rong came to herd the sheep, the three brothers were busy with their work.Luo Fei washed the shallots and tidied up the cabbage, and asked Xi Yanqing to chop them up.They want cabbage and pork dumplings.

Luo Yong put the reconciliation aside: "Brother Xi, do you think I want to raise sheep with Jing Rong?"

This time, the fact that Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei were selling ice cream served as a wake-up call to Luo Yong.He couldn't just think about farming.After he built a house here, he could still get two or three acres of land, but it would be too difficult to live a good life just by farming, unless the family really had tens of acres of land and Tax free.But he can't read a few big characters, so he doesn't have to think about being admitted to the scholar in this life, so he doesn't have to think about tax exemption.Then you have to find a way elsewhere.

In short, you can't wrong your wife and children, right?This is what Xi Yanqing said, and he also thinks it makes sense.What kind of skill is a big man if he can't let his wife and children live in peace?

Xi Yanqing also thought about raising sheep before, but he knew too little about this industry, so he said: "I don't understand this, so I need to ask Jing Rong more. Besides, who will sell it to after raising sheep? Should I sell it in the market or give it to the restaurant? At least I have to make an agreement with them before sending it to the restaurant, otherwise they won’t accept it. Or sell milk sheep?”

"Dairy sheep can't be sold. How can there be milk sheep now?" Luo Yong said, "Brother Xi, you don't know that the Jing family bastards don't have many sheep for Jing Rong, and most of them are rams. He Among all the sheep, there are only two ewes with cubs for you. There are still a few ewes with no cubs. He has a total of 44 sheep, and more than 30 of them are males."

"Then how about breeding again now? Is it too late?"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, the best time for breeding must have passed. Jing Rong told me about this before. He said that the best time for sheep breeding is around October, because it is pregnant in May, conceived around October, and the next year The calving in spring can be just in time for the weather to get warmer and the grass can start to grow outside. This way, the ewes can eat fresh grass and produce more milk, and the lambs can grow better. Recently, he has been thinking about Breeding sheep, but I don’t know if it will work.”

"Let's discuss it when he comes." Xi Yanqing said, "I want to get more fruit tree saplings after the new year. Maybe we can try raising cows." Since Shi Shi will still sell ice cream in the future, Why don't they try raising their own cows?Although Jing Rong has never raised cows before, but no one is born knowing everything, and can't learn!

"Brother Qing, what do you mean... we will work hard to supply the raw materials for making ice cream in the future?" Luo Fei immediately thought of this.Otherwise, why would they raise cows to grow fruits?You don't have to make so much to eat at home, do you?

"That's right. We don't plan to make ice cream anymore, but if we can supply the raw materials, we should be able to make a lot of money. The fruits we grow, the milk we milk, we can also raise chickens and sell eggs!" Xi Yanqing said, "That's right. , why can’t we build a diverse ranch by ourselves?!” There are so many of them, and the place is good, so we can try it boldly!

"When Jingrong comes, let us think about it carefully, what will we do next year!"
