Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

Last year, most of Luo Fei worked alone to store winter vegetables, because Xi Yanqing had to do outside work.But this year, the outside work is basically contracted out, so everyone can work together to store winter vegetables.

Xi Yanqing and Luo Yong dug the potatoes, Luo Fei and Luo Ru picked them up and put them away, cleaned up the ones with a lot of clay on their skins, and divided them into big and small ones.The big ones are kept for winter, and the small ones are cooked and sliced ​​to dry.

Luo Fei wants to dry more dried potatoes, radish strips, and eggplants this year, because he found that Xi Yanqing prefers these dried vegetables, and Xi Yanqing likes the chewy and tough feeling.

Luo Ru used to dry vegetables at home, so she went with Luo Fei.The two found a sunny day, washed the picked potatoes, cooked them in a large pot, and cut them into slices after cooling down.

Xi Yanqing and Luo Yong saw that the vegetable drying curtains were not enough, so they went to get some wormwood stalks.Luo Yong herded the sheep, and Xi Yanqing cut the wormwood stalks.He picked the straight and long ones, and after Luo Yong finished herding the sheep, he took them home and cleaned them up, and weaved a few more curtains.The workmanship is not very good, but it is completely fine to use.The most pleasing thing is that the dried potatoes on the top still have a faint aroma of wormwood.

After Luo Fei and Luo Ru finished drying the dried potatoes, they started cutting radish strips again. They not only made them for themselves, but also dried some for Jing Rong.At first, Luo Ru thought it was unnecessary, since Jing Rong didn't know how to cook food anyway, they could give Jing Rong a ready-made one after they finished the cooking, but Luo Fei didn't hold back.

Luo Fei felt that Jing Rong would have to learn how to cook sooner or later, otherwise how would he live with his eldest brother in the future?You can't eat here all the time.He didn't mind these things, but if everyone was always together, it would lose the fun of living alone as a couple.So let Jing Rong learn how to make small pickles.

Of course, this cannot be said directly to Luo Ru now.

Luo Ru is a kind girl. Even if she knows about Jing Rong and Luo Ji, she may not tell her family, but she will be entangled in the middle. After all, one is the parents and the other is the eldest brother, so Luo Fei feels that it is better Better to let her know later.

"Second brother, do we need to marinate all these duck eggs?" Luo Ru hasn't been able to raise ducks since she got married, and now all the eggs she helps to brush are eggs laid by Luo Fei's raised ducks.There are green shells and white shells, and each one is not small.

"Well, pickle them for the winter and eat them. There are still some to give away." When the weather was cooler, he saved some more, and with one piece he could have about [-] eggs. He planned to pickle them all, and share them with everyone later.Next year he plans to raise more ducks. The pickled salted duck eggs are really popular, but ten ducks can't lay enough eggs.

"Ha, you see, the little tiger is hungry." Luo Ru looked at his nephew with a smile.This fat boy is especially good at eating. Recently, he also knows whether it is because he has teeth or something. He is so greedy for everything he sees.Now stretch out your little hand to get enough duck eggs.

"Let's go!" The little tiger sat on the chair, leaning against the quilt, "Let's go!"

"Hey?! Little Tiger, what was your name just now?" Luo Fei was startled, Dad? !

"Let's go!" Little Tiger patted the armrest of the chair, "Da da da!"

"What is it?" Luo Ru was a little confused.

"He might be calling Dad, your brother Xi always taught him that." Luo Fei quickly wiped his hands on the apron, picked up the little tiger, went to the backyard to find Xi Yanqing, and asked Xi Yanqing to listen. "Brother Qing, let's see what your son's name will be."

"Let's go!" The little tiger opened his small arms towards Xi Yanqing, "Let's go!"

"Hey!" Xi Yanqing was stunned for a moment and then responded with a particularly strong voice. He was very excited after hugging the little tiger, "My dear son, call Dad again."

"Da da da!" The little tiger showed four small deciduous teeth, and the upper deciduous teeth only showed a white edge, and they were not fully grown. "Google!"

"It's not da da da chuck, it's dad. Call me dad again." Xi Yanqing stopped harvesting the grape seedlings, hugged the little tiger and let him ride on his big neck, teasing him to play.

"Da da!"

"Pfft, it's okay. Then you two go kiss, and I'll go brush my duck eggs." Luo Fei smiled and laughed too.For some reason, it seemed to make him happier to hear the little tiger call him father than to know how to call him father.Although the little tiger seems to be unable to connect the character with the name, it may still be in the stage of babbling.But whatever, Xi Yanqing thinks it's just "father"!

Luo Fei flicked his little tail out and continued brushing his duck eggs.After he was done, he found a suitable place to dry the eggshells, and then he boiled salt water again.

Xi Yanqing coaxed the little tiger for a long time but couldn't make the little tiger call "Daddy" again, but he wasn't discouraged either.He went into the house and took the sling to put the little tiger on his back, and then continued to harvest his grape seedlings.During the process of harvesting the seedlings, he had been guiding the little tiger, but the little tiger didn't bark anymore, but got impatient with the words "call him daddy", and pissed Xi Yanqing.

There was no other way, Xi Yanqing had no choice but to send the little guy back into the house to change the diaper.

Luo Fei had just rolled the duck eggs into white wine.He took the little tiger: "Brother Qing, isn't it time for our shop to collect rent?"

I remember that last year it was also harvested around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and recently I was busy with the holidays and Luo Ru's marriage, so I forgot about it.

Xi Yanqing was still thinking about telling Luo Fei about this at night, and nodded when he heard the words: "It's time to collect the rent, but I haven't decided whether to continue renting or take it back and let's do something on our own."

From the current point of view, it is good to have a hot pot restaurant in the town, but it is too late to plant chili peppers this year, and there is not much profit.In addition, there are not many sheep, so they have to keep them for breeding.Then the rest is selling ice cream or meat, haggis or something.

"I have an idea, see if it works." Xi Yanqing pulled Luo Fei to sit down, "Brother Wan opened a shop to sell meat, isn't that shop also rented, why don't we simply rent our shop to him at a lower price The shop he is renting now is small, and it only sells some meat. In fact, it is a bit difficult to sell haggis. Selling ice cream and so on. The town now sells our ice cream in restaurants, and there is no ice cream store, but I think it is very inconvenient. Brother Shi also mentioned it before, saying that he will set up several purchase shops in the future Branch. If you want me to say, let’s diversify our shop a little bit and sell all kinds of frozen food, such as ice cream, meat, and the fruit stuffed glutinous rice balls you made, my wife. I think it can also be sold .In this way, we can also make more profits, and Brother Wan can also get some money from it."

"Then go back and ask Brother Shi and Brother Wan. The most important thing is to magnify everyone's interests." After finishing speaking, Luo Fei elbowed Xi Yanqing, "Fruit glutinous rice balls are my unique secret technique, so I missed them so soon. up?"

"Who told you to make it delicious?" Xi Yanqing kissed Luo Fei across the little tiger, "It is impossible to make more, after all, there are not so many raw materials. A batch of goods, I think it should make a lot of money."

As expected, the fruit trees transplanted this year did not bear many fruits, so most of them were planted in large quantities. Apart from sending them to Shi Shi and the others to make ice cream, Xi Yanqing kept some for himself, and Luo Fei Make the jam and freeze it, you can use it when you want to make glutinous rice balls.

Next year, Xi Yanqing plans to plant more nightshade fruit, and continue to plant grape seedlings, raspberry seedlings, and blueberry seedlings separately.

After these are done, they are all money, and there are many benefits.

Luo Fei had no objection, and waved his hand: "Brother Qing, you can make up your mind, I only care about tricks and collecting money, nothing else."

Xi Yanqing smiled and said yes, and planned to ask after Wan Dayun came.

Before Jing Rong left, he explained to Xi Yanqing which two sheep Wan Dayun came to sell during his absence.There is also a mark on the sheep, so Xi Yanqing will not sell it wrong.

So Wan Dayun came back three days later, and Xi Yanqing sold the two sheep that Jing Rong said to Wan Dayun.Wan Dayun gave Xi Yan the money, and at the same time raised the issue of the sales of haggis.

In hot weather, less mutton is generally eaten than in autumn and winter, and haggis is naturally the same, because everyone knows that eating too much mutton can cause fire.Some people may like to try something new, so they buy it and eat it, but if they eat it regularly, it is unlikely.But it's different today when it's cold, many rich people want to eat some mutton to warm up, and haggis is also one of the choices, so Wan Dayun's butcher's shop has almost no time to relax.In addition to selling meat, he also sells haggis, and the shop was extremely lively that day.

"Fortunately, Damei is sensible and can help me. Recently, she sells the haggis." Wan Dayun felt relieved when he thought of his eldest daughter, "By the way, Brother Xi, when will Brother Jingrong come back? Ke Yang bought it?"

"I'm not sure when I'll be back. But it shouldn't take too long. Isn't it time to breed the sheep? I guess it's time to go back in three to five days at most." Xi After the banquet was settled, it has been five days since Jing Rong left, but there is still no news at all.I don't know if buying sheep is not going well or the road is difficult.

"A regular customer came over yesterday and asked if I could order a whole head of sheep, saying that it would be used during the Chinese New Year." Wan Dayun said, "I don't know if the sheep can be produced before the year. So if you think about it, ask Brother Jingrong first."

"We'll have to wait for him to come back, and I don't know if we can do it." Xi Yan counted, and there were 21 sheep left in Jing Rong, of which there were only six ewes with new births. It was all rams.There must be a ram that can be produced, but he doesn't know which one can be produced.

"Then I'll come back in a few days." Wan Dayun said and was about to go back.

"Brother Wan, wait a minute, I have something else to do." Xi Yanqing told Wan Dayun what he was thinking, "I don't know how long the shop you are renting will expire. If time is running out, then you can consider consider."

"This..." Wan Dayun didn't feel the embarrassment to say that he had only paid this year's rent in full, and the landlord didn't want to rent him anymore.If it weren't for getting to know Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei, it would be impossible for him to pay the rent this year.

"Don't rush to reply, I just have to go to Shifu in two days, just give me a letter when the time comes." Xi Yanqing said and took some dried radish sticks to Wan Dayun.

"Then, I'll reply to you in two days." Wan Dayun accepted the radish sticks, "Thank you Brother Xi and Brother Luo Fei."

"You're welcome, and it's not a rarity." Luo Fei said with a smile, "Brother Wan, if you think it's delicious, you can come back and get it later. This year, my house has sunned a lot."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back first." Wan Dayun walked and stopped, "By the way, Brother Xi, if Brother Jing Rong comes back early, you ask him to help me choose two more sheep as soon as possible."

"Success. If he comes back early, next time I go, I'll lead the sheep over to you." Xi Yanqing waved his hand and called Huadou and Huangdou who had chased him back, looked at Luo Fei suspiciously, and whispered : "Daughter-in-law, you said that elder brother and Jing Rong, don't they want to go home because they don't want to leave?!"

"Can't it?" Luo Fei thought about it, and was a little unsure.The key is his big brother, who is a bit unexpected.If you are not sure, you will quietly take Jing Rong home while playing.

There was a smirk on Luo Fei's mouth, but he didn't know that he really misunderstood this time.

It's not that Luo Ji and Jing Rong are not rushing home, but it's been a few days since they arrived at their destination, but they haven't bought the sheep yet.Jing Rong's cheating half-brother took over the Jing family ranch, and when he learned that Jing Rong had returned, he told the surrounding herdsmen that no one was allowed to sell the sheep to Jing Rong.
