Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

Du Chang was busy with work, and after being found by Luo Tian, ​​he led his men to finish the work of repairing the fence in about half a month.What Luo Tian said at the beginning was [-] to [-] Wen, but in the end everyone gave [-] Wen, because the work was really well done.And after that, Luo Tian didn't let them go, he simply took them to do the field work again.

After transplanting seedlings, watering and weeding are necessary to ensure that the crops grow well. These tasks are inevitable.In addition, in dry fields, it is necessary to re-drow the trenches from time to time, and some have to be fertilized in the middle of the period, so basically there must be manpower.

In short, according to what Xi Yanqing said, this kind of crops has become a job that requires great care, and there is no need to be careless.

Fortunately, it pays off after working hard, and the crops are indeed growing much better than before.It can be clearly seen that the same rice, the people in Huaping Village grow taller and neater than those in other villages.At first glance, I feel that the scenery in this field is more beautiful than ever.

If only one family grows well, there may not be many people who pay attention to it, but if the whole village is doing well, it will be eye-catching.

Feng Lan had nothing to do, so she took a horse out for a stroll, and wandered to Huaping Village by accident.Originally, he was thinking about going to Chen Huazhang's house when he was here, but unexpectedly, the first thing that attracted his attention after approaching the village was not the people or houses here, but the rice.

He has traveled all over the country in these years, and he has seen a lot of rice, but he has never seen anyone who grows rice like this, like soldiers lined up, which is called a neat one.

"Excuse me, is there anyone at home?" Feng Lan asked the folks and found Chen Huazhang's house.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Feng? Why have you come all the way?" Chen Huazhang wondered if this person was anxious to see the finished furniture?He opened the door enthusiastically, "Come in, please come in."

"Excuse me, Master Chen." Feng Lan was very modest and polite despite her noble background, "I really can't figure out some things today, and I hope Master Chen can clarify my confusion."

"You are serious. As long as I know it, I will know everything." After Chen Huazhang said, he shouted at the house: "Daughter-in-law! There are distinguished guests at home, let's enjoy tea!"

"Got it!" Han Xu glanced out, seeing if he knew him, he made the tea first, and then brought it out.There is a small wooden gazebo in their yard, which was made by Chen Huazhang when he had nothing to do at home. It is just right to entertain guests at the moment, "This is..."

"This is Mr. Fenglanfeng." Chen Huazhang said, "This is my wife, and my son."

"Mrs. Chen is polite. I came here in a hurry today, and I have disturbed you a lot. I hope Mrs. Chen will not be blamed."

"Mr. Feng is too polite. You are a distinguished guest. It is too late for us to welcome you. Then talk slowly, I still have some things to finish in the room." Han Xu felt nervous talking to the person in front of him, so he finished speaking He took the child into the house.

"I really came here unexpectedly." Feng Lan looked at the backs of one big and one small hurriedly entering the room, feeling a little funny.

"My wife seldom leaves this village, so I'm a little shy. Don't take it wrong."

"It doesn't matter." Although Mrs. Chen may not look like a shy person, but this has nothing to do with her intention of coming here.Feng Lan smiled, "I came here to ask Master Chen, has the rice in Huaping Village been grown like this all the time? It's different from other villages, and I see it is very neat."

"I didn't grow it like this a few years ago. No, it was only after my brother surnamed Xi came back. He grows this way, and the harvest is better than other families. Other families have followed him after seeing it."

"It's him again?" Feng Lan was a little surprised, "Why does he always have such novel ideas?"

"Who doesn't say yes, anyway, every time I come up with something that no one else has seen."

"Master Chen, is it convenient for me to take me to see this brother named Xi again?" Feng Lan felt a little regretful that she didn't see Xi Yanqing again last time.He likes to learn about new things, whether it's eating or playing, or knowledge, as long as he thinks it's new, he has to figure it out.And he is more interested in the matter of planting and increasing production.After all, it is possible to benefit the whole country.

Chen Huazhang also felt that it was a bit difficult for one person to entertain Feng Lan.He was actually a little stressed facing this person.He is not the kind of person who is particularly talkative. It is okay to chat with friends on weekdays, but when facing this person in front of him, he always feels that it is okay to talk about things he understands. Out of context.If Xi Yanqing is here, it seems to be easier to say.

Xi Yanqing is in the orchard right now.After the grape seedlings grew out, there were caterpillars on them, which ate the leaves specially.He hastened to grab the chopsticks and the small tube today!He is going to feed the chickens after catching them, lest these caterpillars continue to harm his grape leaves!

There were a lot of bugs, but Luo Fei couldn't stand the wriggling ones, so he decided not to help with this job. Right now, he was counting eggs in the yard and watching the little tiger by the way.

The little tiger was playing with the three beans. He pushed out a wooden ball the size of an adult's fist, and then watched the three beans scrambling there.If you want to bite, but you can't bite, you can only use your claws to pull.But the surface of the wooden ball is too smooth, and the dog's paws often slip when pulled.The little tiger just looked at this giggling, how beautiful it was.

When Fenglan and Chen Huazhang came, the little tiger was standing opposite Heidou.Black Bean is waiting for him to get the ball out.

The little tiger was still young, and his movements were not flexible enough, so Heidou took advantage of this moment to look forward, and when he looked, it was terrible, a stranger came!

"Woof! Woof, woof!" Heidou yelled very loudly.

"Heidou, you don't know me anymore?" Chen Huazhang was a little afraid of dogs, so he didn't rush in.

"Black Dou, don't bark." Luo Fei saw Chen Huazhang bringing someone over, and got up to open the door—it wasn't locked at all, but he knew that Chen Huazhang was afraid of dogs, "This is..."

"This is Mr. Feng Lanfeng. This is Xi Yanqing's wife." After Chen Huazhang introduced, he looked into the courtyard, "Is Yan Qing at home?"

"Yes." Luo Fei invited the two of them in, "It's in the backyard. Heidou, go find Brother Qing, there are guests here."

"Wow!" Heidou glanced at Feng Lan, then quickly ran to the backyard, biting the corner of Xi Yanqing's trousers, and called Xi Yanqing over—since that time when Luo Fei was about to give birth Heidou asked Xi Yanqing to go home, and Xi Yanqing knew that this guy was very smart.This bite knew that something was wrong with him.

"Young Master Feng? Why are you here?" Xi Yanqing was rather surprised.As far as he knew, this young man surnamed Feng didn't know that he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​adding characters to the fruit, because Shi Shi wasn't sure if it would be possible at the time, so he probably had reservations and just said his idea His name was not mentioned.

"It came suddenly, I'm rude. I came here to ask brother Yanqing, why is the rice planted in Huaping Village different from the rice planted elsewhere? Is there any purpose in planting this way?" Feng Lanfeng raised her eyes slightly, full of curiosity.

"It's just to grow more food with fewer seeds. There is no special intention. Mr. Feng is interested in this?" Xi Yanqing wondered what it was.

"Hey, I can't see new things, I have to find out when I see them. I have traveled a lot in these years, and I have never seen such rice growing anywhere. It looks interesting."

"I see. If Mr. Feng doesn't dislike it, he can walk around the house at will. If there is something new, Yan Qing is willing to explain Mr. Feng's doubts."

"Thank you, Brother Yanqing and Mrs. Xi, then Fengmou would be more respectful than obedient."

"Please." Xi Yanqing glanced at Luo Fei after speaking.

"Cooking?" Luo Fei asked almost silently.

Xi Yanqing thought about it, nodded, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Fei smiled and shook his head, ready to go.The young master from the imperial city may not stay to eat, maybe he is not used to it at all.But in case, if he wants to eat, let him experience the delicacies of the countryside and see what is better.

There is an ice cellar at home, so there is meat to eat all year round.Besides, there are so many chickens, ducks and geese at home, and there is still time to kill them now, after all, it is still early.After pondering for a while, Luo Fei figured out what to do, rolled up his sleeves and went to work.

Xi Yanqing took Fenglan and Chen Huazhang to the back garden, and showed Fenglan the berry garden, and also saw the thorny old buds.

"Brother Yanqing, what is that?" Feng Lan asked, pointing to the old bud with thorns all over her body.

"Prickly sprouts. It was originally a kind of wild vegetable that grew on the mountain. My family likes it very much, so I dug some and planted them. I eat the young shoots every spring, and the taste is quite special."

"It's a pity, I should have come earlier, at least I can see what it looks like." Now it is bare, only the trunk remains.

"When the tree buds were still tender, we harvested them, boiled them and dried them in the sun. If Mr. Feng doesn't mind, you can have lunch at the house. Let my wife make some later. Mr. Feng can taste the taste."

"What's so funny about that?"

"It's a rural place, with simple tea and light food, as long as Mr. Feng doesn't mind."

"Then there will be Brother Lao Yanqing." Feng Lan was holding a plum blossom in her hand, but she didn't have the slightest bit of restraint as a younger brother.

But such people are easier to deal with.Xi Yanqing regarded this person as an ordinary friend, and his neither humble nor overbearing attitude made Chen Huazhang who was following him gradually relax.

Later, Feng Lan also saw the wooden lattice tray that Xi Yanqing used to raise seedlings, and the hemp rope with wooden cones tied at both ends for transplanting rice seedlings.Xi Yanqing carefully explained the use to this person.

Feng Lan also asked how much production could be increased and how many rice seeds could be saved per mu of land. Xi Yanqing explained them all, which really benefited Mr. Feng a lot.

But Feng Lan found that what benefited him the most was the dinner table of Xi Yanqing's family!

It's not that he has never eaten farm food, it's nothing more than wild vegetables and vegetables, or egg tofu.A better one can have a fish.

In fact, walking all over the world, sometimes I rushed there, let alone farm food, there are always some dry food in the wild to deal with.Today's Holy Majesty has always advocated frugality. It is the most unaccustomed for princes and relatives to go out and waste money, and he has no such habit, so he has always been one person and one horse, and he can do whatever is easy, and eat what he has.

But the farm food of Yan Qing's family is too rich!It's not plain food at all!This was too different from the farm food he knew.

Pot-wrapped meat made by Luo Fei, chicken and mushroom powder, braised crucian carp in sauce.As for the vegetarian dishes, after Xi Yanqing talked about it later, he mixed a thorn sprout, spicy tofu, and made a potato ball with sauce.Potato balls with sauce are a bit troublesome. The potatoes are peeled and steamed, then mashed, then made into glutinous rice balls, then deep-fried to make the skin crispy, and then topped with thickened sauce... …

All in all, among the six dishes, only chicken with mushroom powder and braised crucian carp in sauce was something Feng Lan had eaten before.For the other items, he may have eaten that kind of ingredients, but he has definitely never eaten the current method.

Fortunately, Jing Rong followed suit recently and helped out together a little while ago, otherwise Luo Fei would have been a bit flustered doing it by himself.

Finally, a bowl of dessert - corn with pine nuts was served.

Live together.

"Young Master Feng, eat." Luo Fei smiled heartily, no surprise!Surprise no!Hum hum!

"It's really causing trouble for Mrs. Xi." Feng Lan got up directly and bowed to Luo Fei.

"No trouble, just try it." Luo Fei went to sit at a table with Han Xu and the others.Anyway, I did everything, and I simply made a large portion, so I called Han Xu, the little carpenter, and those who were at home in the left and right courtyards.

Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei didn't know what others thought, but they didn't regard Feng Lan as a royal relative at all.Today's one is a big table, the kind of three in a row.

The rice cooked at noon, a big pot, a group of people eat in full swing.

The key dish is already delicious, but the more people there are, the more delicious it will be!

Feng Lan wanted to be more gentle before, but as she ate and ate... she seemed to have run away from home, revealing her true nature...

In the words of his brother Wang: You just have the body of a younger brother, and you are actually more of a man than a man.

But this time I really can't blame him, Luo Fei's dishes are too delicious.The food he ate in the imperial city looked good, but compared to the taste, I really don't know who is better than who.

Feng Lan can be regarded as finding an excuse for herself that is not polite, and she has long forgotten her original reason for coming.

I think I understand why the rice is grown so neatly, but now it is why the dishes made by Luo Fei are so delicious.

After the meal, Luo Fei brought out some nuts and preserved fruits for dessert, and the bowls were piled aside.He wanted to brush, but Xi Yanqing refused.

"You must be exhausted from doing so many dishes. You rest, and I will wash the dishes after people leave."

"Then I really won't do it." Luo Fei grabbed a small handful of dried blueberries.

"En. Let's rest." Xi Yanqing looked at Feng Lan in a daze, wondering why this person didn't leave? !

"Young Master Feng, do you want to go elsewhere?" Chen Huazhang asked.He was the one who brought him here, so it's a bit embarrassing for him not to leave at this time!

"Well... still not, it's getting late, and I've been bothering you for a long time today, so it's time to go back." Feng Lan smiled, took off her waistband, and gave them to the little tiger and the little carpenter respectively.This girdle is made of emerald, not only has good transparency, but also is full of water. It can be seen at a glance that it is made of a rough stone and has been divided into half. "This girdle is a pair from birth. These two children are just right If you have made an appointment, then give them as a meeting gift."

"This can't be done." Chen Huazhang was startled.That thing is worth a lot of money at first glance!

"Yes, Mr. Feng, this gift is too expensive, you should take it back." Xi Yanqing only made friends with this man because of Shi Shi's face, otherwise he would definitely not let Luo Fei cook.

"It's just my wish. Don't be too polite, everyone. Thank you for your hospitality today." Feng Lan smiled and gently pinched the little tiger's face. It can be seen that she likes children very much.

"Wow?" The little tiger fiddled with the waist pendant for a while, then suddenly put it in his mouth and sucked it, spitting out the jade pendant.

"Little tiger!" Nima felt embarrassed even thinking about it!Luo Fei laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, children are not sensible."

"It's okay, it's okay, I gave it to him to play." After Feng Lan said, she looked at Luo Fei for a while, but she still didn't express her thoughts in the end.He arched his little finger, whistled loudly, and called his horse over.

The horse was also smart, and upon hearing the whistle of its master, it found it quickly. The ropes of the horse were all loose, obviously Feng Lan hadn't been tied anywhere when she came.

"That..." Feng Lan held the horse, gritted her teeth, and turned around suddenly, "Mrs. Xi, I have a heartless request."

"What's the matter, Mr. Feng, let's talk."

"Can you..." Feng Lan looked at Luo Fei embarrassedly, "Can you teach me how to cook?"

"what?"
