Leisurely Farmhouse

There is still a snake in his hand, and the snake's head has been removed.It's a very common cauliflower snake, it looks big but it's not poisonous. "I didn't go far, so there are no big animals. Have you seen enough?"

Su Mo took out a knife and said, "That's enough, you peel off the skin, I live and we roast and eat." As he spoke, he took out a few knots of chopped bamboo from the space and washed them, put glutinous rice and water in the bamboo and sealed it tightly, Put it in a pot and set it on the fire to steam.Shen Chi scalded the pheasant to remove the feathers as Su Mo said, cut a hole in the buttocks to clean the inside, removed the head and neck, and handed it to Su Mo.Su Mo stuffed the washed bamboo shoots and mushrooms into the pheasant's stomach, and then stuffed a few pieces of ginger, and then took out a sewing needle from the space to sew up the opening.After spreading the seasoning on the outside of the chicken, pick a few lotus leaves from the pond in the space and wrap the chicken tightly.The outside is sealed with yellow mud and buried under the fire, and it can be eaten when it is cooked.

Peeled rabbits are skewered and roasted on the fire. While roasting, use a brush to brush seasoning and honey on the rabbit meat. When the rabbit meat is roasted, the honey sauce rabbit meat is ready.Su Mo took out a small pot from the space, cut the skinned snake into one-inch pieces, and put them in the pot to cook snake soup.Shen Chi found a handful of wild garlic around. The wild garlic was small but very spicy. Su Mo peeled a few and put them in the snake soup to remove the fishy smell.After finishing these, Su Mo washed his hands and said, "My task is completed, and the next step is to see if Shen Daxia's barbecue skills are good. If you can't roast meat well, you can only gnaw bones tonight, and the meat is not your share. I'm going to the space." After speaking, he disappeared.

After listening to the child's words, Shen Chi couldn't help but look at the roasted rabbit in his hand, um, it's roasted well, it seems that we can eat meat today.Realizing his actions, Shen Chi turned black, "Has he been so obedient by his wife?Where did Shen Chi, who was so stunned and unmoved back then, go?Forget it, as long as the daughter-in-law is happy. 'Shen Chi was not at all anxious about his change, but complacent about it.

Su Mo came out with a large plate of cherries and saw Shen Chi standing there with a bewildered smile, "It's over, isn't this person stupid? I didn't scare him." He patted Shen Chi on the shoulder and said, "Are you stupid? Just because you can't eat meat?" Shen Chi pulled the child into his arms with one hand and said, "Stupid, I was killed by you."

Su Mo touched Shen Chi's head and said, "You don't have a fever, how can you talk nonsense?" Shen Chi didn't explain any more, and took Su Mo's hand and said, "The rabbit is roasted and the snake soup is almost done. When will we Dinner?"

Su Mo came out of Shen Chi's arms, put the cherries on the plate aside and said, "Let's eat then, it smells delicious." The two divided the rabbits beautifully, pulled out the pheasant from the fire, and knocked it open. The mud on the surface gave off a strong aroma. Su Mo, who had just eaten a rabbit, felt hungry again, peeled off the lotus leaf on it, and the chicken revealed its face. The golden skin and strong mushroom aroma hooked Su Mo's heart itched, he couldn't help but tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and handed the other to Shen Chi. Su Mo chewed the meat in his mouth happily, and kept looking at the pool, not knowing what was inside. Is there any fish?Wait, why is there a white cat there?Su Mo pulled Shen Chi's hand and said, "Ah Chi, quickly take me to the other side of the pool." Although Shen Chi didn't know what Su Mo was going to do, he still followed his instructions.

After passing the water pool, Su Mo ran quickly to the bottom of the big tree and saw a white cat there, with bloodstains all over its body, maybe it was injured. Su Mo picked up the white cat and brought Shen Chi into the space.The white cat was very weak. Su Mo fed the white cat the well water in the space, and then used the well water in the space to scrub its wounds. It took a while for the white cat to recover, and licked Su Mo's hand with the tip of its tongue. He groaned, as if thanking Su Mo.Seeing this, Su Mo's heart softened, and he said to Shen Chi, "Ah Chi, let's adopt this white cat."

Shen Chi helplessly tapped Su Mo's head and said, "It's not a cat, it's a tiger." Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said shamelessly, "It's just a cat. Let's keep it okay. Look how good it is." Shen Chi looked He glanced at the white tiger and said, "There are only two possibilities for it to appear here by itself, one is that it was abandoned here by the big tiger, and the other is that the big tiger died and only it was left. It’s because it can’t live, you can keep it. But you can’t get too close to it, after all, tigers are not cats and dogs, what if they hurt someone someday.”

Su Mo flattered Shen Chi and said, "It's okay, I'll feed it with the well water in the space every day, and it will definitely become very smart." Su Mo said that there are space well sailors, and he is not afraid of anything.I found a basket and put the little tiger in it with a cotton cloth. I fed the little tiger fresh milk to let it heal. Su Mo and Shen Chi went out of the space. The chicken was already cold, so Su Mo put it in the space. Take out the steamed bamboo rice from the pot and open it. A strong sweet smell of glutinous rice and refreshing taste of bamboo comes out. Su Mo ate two of the snake meat in one go, and drank a big bowl of snake meat. Soup, in the end, he couldn't walk anymore.Su Mo covered his belly and grinned. He was very happy to find a little tiger. He nestled in Shen Chi's arms and said with a smile, "Let's give it a name. What do you want to call it?" Shen Chi thought for a while and said, " Just call it Gale." "Gate, it's a good name," Su Mo kissed Shen Chi's chin and said, "I have to take care of why my wife is so talented, or else I will cry if someone else snatches her from her." It's too late." Shen Chi pressed Su Mo's chin and kissed his lips for a while before saying, "I am your daughter-in-law, no one can take it away, and it is impossible for you to be taken away by anyone."

The author has something to say: Milk ate a lot of chicken feet today, and then he became thirsty. He drank a large glass of water. Even old popsicles and popsicles didn’t work. I also drank all the water bought by my roommate. Become a buffalo≧﹏≦

☆, Daqing No. [-] Royal Merchant

The effect of the well water in the space is really good, and the next morning Gale is almost healed, and the wounds on his body are already scarred.Su Mo took Shen Chi out of the space, because they didn't know whether Gaifeng was discarded here or the big tiger died here, so Su Mo and Shen Chi decided to take a look around before talking.

After searching for a while by the pool, I found one or two dark red bloodstains. Shen Chi led Su Mo to follow the bloodstained place for a quarter of an hour, and found the injured white with black stripes in a very hidden place. Big tiger, one of the big tiger's front paws is bent unnaturally, it seems that the injury is not serious.

"Achi, let's scoop up a bowl of space well water for the big tiger, and treat it as our reward for taking away the blast." Su Mo likes small animals, and the big tiger is the mother of the blast. It is equivalent to not having combat power. In a forest full of dangers, without combat power, death is not far away.

Shen Chi looked at the big tiger and said, "Give me the water, I'll put it in front of it, don't follow." Su Mo also knew that he would be slowed down, so he scooped up a wooden basin of space water from the space and handed it to him. Shen Chi, Shen Chi hugged the wooden basin and reached the open space in front of the tiger's den. The tiger made a threatening sound from its throat, and its body tensed up to prepare for the attack. Shen Chi lowered the water and turned around to fly up to the treetops.The tiger looked around vigilantly, did not find any danger, then limped to the basin and sniffed it carefully. Su Mo knew that the temptation of space well water could not be resisted by a tiger. Sure enough, the tiger sniffed it Then start drinking the water in the basin.

Seeing this, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, the tiger's front paws should be fully healed in two days at most.Shen Chi sprinkled red pepper noodles not far from the tiger's den, so that large animals should not come here.Su Mo and Shen Chi left the forest. If the big tiger still can't survive, then it can only be unlucky for itself.

Back in Youranju, Su Mo and Shen Chi finished changing their clothes. Su Mo was a little tired and fell asleep.When Shen Chi came down from the second floor, he heard Uncle He standing in the yard saying, "Master, the workers have been found. There are fifteen people in total. I don't know when they will start work?"

Shen Chi put Su Mo's changed clothes into the laundry tub and said, "Work starts tomorrow, how many days do you plan to clean it up?" Uncle He replied, "The land on the mountain is only weeds, so it's not troublesome to clean it up. Fifteen people can do it in five days." It can be tidied up. Planting trees will take a little trouble, and it will probably take seven days." Shen Chi nodded and said, "I will leave these things to you. Tomorrow, the young master and I will go to the county to buy saplings. You can discuss the family matters with Su An .”

Uncle He cupped his hands and said, "The villain knows, I wonder if the young master should take Shen Sujin with him? This child is smart and can read, and he can help the young master in the future." Shen Chi thought for a while and said, "Take it, he will follow in the future." The young master is doing things, so it is good to learn more now. Let him get ready and set off early tomorrow morning."

At dawn, the future steward of the Shen family had already finished running with the prescribed load, and even Uncle and Aunt followed suit for a few laps.Shen Sujin changed his clothes, ate two bowls of porridge cooked by his aunt and two steamed buns, and then drove the cattle station to wait for the two young masters at the gate of Youranju.At this time, Su Mo was still fighting with Shen Chi. Su Mo could barely fight with Shen Chi's two hands now. Although he couldn't catch a few moves, it was still an improvement, so he wanted to indulge in it for a while. Chi also saw Su Mo's approach, unknowingly controlled the strength, and still made moves in a leisurely manner. The seemingly disorganized but fatal moves, Su Mo had to use more physical strength to dodge these attacks.

A quarter of an hour later, the two stopped their moves at the same time. Su Mo wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "The weather is fine today. We will set off after changing our clothes. We will have breakfast in the car. Otherwise, if there is too little time, if we are still on our way at noon." It's too boring." Shen Chi handed the washed cloth to Su Mo and said, "No hurry, let's find a place to rest at noon before we go, just to see the scenery along the way."

Su Mo took the cloth towel and wiped Shen Chi's forehead and said, "That's fine, I don't know what it's like to be out of Anping Town, this time I'll take this opportunity to see more." Walking on the road, Su Mo took a copy of "Da Qing Zhi" and slowly flipped through it. "Da Qing Zhi" is a miscellaneous note introducing the customs and customs of Qing. , the beauty of the local cuisine is depicted vividly and fascinatingly, and Su Mo will turn to a few pages to read it in his spare time.Shen Chi sat next to Su Mo and used the sand table to practice the accounting method of Arabic numerals. All the accounts of Youranju are divided into two types, one is the accounting method used by the Qing Dynasty similar to the ancient Hua Kingdom Su Mo provided the account management method of the previous life, which clearly marked the balance of expenditure every day, which was clear at a glance.Time passed like this, and soon it was noon.

Shen Chi asked Shen Sujin to find a place with water and rest here at noon. Shen Sujin took a spatula from the bullock cart and prepared to make lunch. Su Mo stopped him and said, "Don't worry, the young master and I brought food. Just go and cut some grass for the cow, this is for you." Su Mo took out two steamed buns from the food box and handed them to Shen Sujin.Shen Sujin didn't expect to have his own dry rations. After thanking him, he took a sickle and went to mow grass for the cattle.

Su Mo took out a piece of clean and soft leather from the bullock cart and spread it on the grass, and took out the space well water and poured it into their bowls to drink. Ever since they discovered the benefits of the space well water, the two have been using the space well water.Lunch is steamed bun beef sauce and fermented bean curd.The fermented bean curd is made by Su Mo during the Chinese New Year. It has been placed in the space and has become fine and soft. It is soaked in red chili oil, and it tastes very good.

At this moment, another car came to the place where they were resting, and three people got out. They were dressed as two masters and one servant.Shen Chi and Su Mo ignored those people and picked up steamed buns to eat their lunch.

Su Mo opened the steamed bun and put a large piece of beef sauce in it. He took a bite of the steamed bun and dipped some fermented bean curd. Soon the air was filled with the aroma of beef and fermented bean curd.Seeing that he was eating too fast, Shen Chi picked up a piece of meat for him and said, "Eat slowly, no one will grab it from you." Su Mo smiled at Shen Chi after eating the meat, and slowed down. The two had enough to eat. It's delicious.

The three people on the side were a little sad, but the servants were fine, they didn't react much after getting used to it.A young man in a blue robe couldn't help sniffing and said, "Brother, it smells so good, even better than the beef sauce made by the nanny." The young man in blue clothes said, " Second brother, keep your voice down, it’s not good to be misunderstood by others.” The young man in Tsing Yi muttered, “We’ve been on the road for several days, and we didn’t even have a mouthful of hot soup today.”

Su Mo and Shen Chi's ears were already extraordinary, so they naturally heard these words, but they just didn't care.Su Mo took out a bamboo tube from the food box, which contained the leftover preserved egg and lean meat porridge from the morning. It was still warm after being taken out in the space.After pouring half a bowl and handing it to Shen Chi, Su Mo poured another half bowl for himself, and there was nothing in the bamboo tube.

The man in Tsing Yi opened his eyes wide and said 'wow' and said, "There is still soup, no, it's too bullying." After speaking, he walked towards Su Mo and the others.Su Mo and Shen Chi didn't move. They could see that the man in Tsing Yi was not malicious. Sure enough, the man in Tsing Yi came over, saluted first, and then said without waiting for Su Mo to speak, "You two brothers, I don't know your beef sauce. Do you want to sell fermented bean curd? If you want to buy some, you can eat dry food."

Su Mo deliberately held a piece of beef and shook it in front of his eyes, saying, "You mean this?" The man in Tsing Yi's eyes were glued to the beef, and he nodded impatiently and said, "That's it, that's it." "Not for sale, This is what we make and eat ourselves, why sell it to you for us to eat?"

"Ah? Don't sell it? Then you can share some with me, okay? I don't want much, just a little." The man in Tsing Yi blinked his big eyes and looked at Su Mo firmly. Only then did Su Mo realize that he was actually young. , about 15 years old, but the dress is a bit old-fashioned, so it looks older. "I'm really sorry, my brother's ignorance has caused trouble for you, and I hope you will forgive me." The man in blue came over to salute Su Mo and Shen Chi, and was about to pull the kid in Tsing Yi away.

The kid in Tsing Yi squatted there without moving, his big eyes staring at the jar of beef sauce without blinking.Su Mo was amused by this scene, picked up the jar and said, "Go get your dry food, I'll share some with you." Then the kid in Tsing Yi stood up cheerfully and quickly went to get the dry food.The man in blue said embarrassingly, "I'm so sorry for being rude." Su Mo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, he's very likable, not to mention it's just a little food, so it's not a problem." The man in blue simply sat on the grass Said, "Cheng Junran, my younger brother Cheng Junqi, I don't know how to call you two?"

"Su Mo, this is my husband, Shen Chi." Su Mo cupped his hands and said.Cheng Junqi came over with dry food and sat on the grass and said, "I heard it all. Big Brother Su Mo and Big Brother Shen Chi are husband and wife. We will be friends from now on. Here, put beef sauce for me, I'm so hungry." Su Mo laughed He picked up the beef sauce and handed it to Cheng Junqi, saying, "Take it and eat it yourself. Aren't you going on your way? Go eat it quickly." Cheng Junqi said embarrassedly, "So you heard what we said, so I will not be polite." After speaking, he spread the beef sauce on the dry food and ate it, and Cheng Junran did the same.When the two left, Cheng Junran took out a jade card and said, "If you have something to do, you can take this jade card to Mingyue Trading Company to find the steward. The steward will definitely help." After speaking, he took Cheng Junqi to leave.

Su Mo received the jade plaque into the space and said, "Do you know who they are? I feel that they are not simple." Shen Chi nodded and said, "The Cheng family has been an imperial merchant for generations, and the heads of all generations have been loyal. They hand over [-]% of their business income to the national treasury, and their family is the first to donate money and food to relieve the country's worries when the country is in trouble. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties value their family very much."

Su Mo nodded and said, "Their ancestors must have been great people to make such a decision, allowing their descendants to keep their glory and wealth without making those in power jealous, and their patriarchs were also smart, which allowed the Cheng family to continue. to date."

The author has something to say: double update today

☆, buy again

Shen Chi said, "Their ancestors are indeed remarkable. This Cheng Junran is also smart. He is the son of the head of the family. He has shown amazing business talent since he was a child. He became the young head of the Cheng family at the age of 15. At that time, some people in the Cheng family opposed him. This incident caused a lot of trouble." It was quite big, and the result was less than a month, and all the opponents either died down and surrendered to him, or there were false accounts, bullying and other problems were discovered. After being found out, the reputation was ruined and the business could not continue, so he had to lose the power in his hand and support him at home. "

Su Mo didn't expect Shen Chi to know so clearly, and asked curiously, "How do you know these things so well?" Shen Chi spread his hands and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm not full." Su Mo seemed to be hanging in the air. Not less than the same uncomfortable. "Here, beef sauce." Su Mo took out another can of beef sauce from the space and said, "Tell me quickly." It was only then that the evidence was sent to Cheng Junran."

Su Mo knew that this was the secret, so he stopped asking.We wandered all the way to the county in the evening, and after finding an inn to stay, Su Mo excitedly pulled Shen Chichi and said, "I don't know what's delicious in Anyang County, let's look for it?" Shen Chi naturally Yes agree.

"Xiaoer, I don't know if there is any delicious food in your county," Su Mo said, taking out a piece of broken silver and handing it to the waiter.

"The two young masters can tell at a glance that they are not locals. When you come to Anyang County, you can eat or drink anything else. The only thing you have to do is try Yong Tau Foo from Yong Tau Foo." The man said enthusiastically after taking the money.

"Oh? How do you say this? Is this shop called Yong Tau Foo?" Su Mo asked the buddy curiously, what's so special about this Yong Tau Foo?

"My son, you are right. This shop is called Yong Tau Foo. There are many people who make Yong Tau Foo in Anyang County. The Yong Tau Foo made by Yong Tau Foo is better than others. The tofu is tender and refreshing, and the flavor of the seasoning is also good. It has an indescribable taste compared to other families, but no one knows how they make it, and they can't learn it, which is very strange." The man shook his head and went downstairs to entertain the guests.

Su Mo was curious about how delicious stuffed tofu was, so he dragged Shen Chi out of the inn, asked someone where it was, and then walked forward. Shen Sujin followed closely behind the two.

Walking to East Street as others said, I saw a lantern with the word "dou" written on it at the entrance of a small shop not far away, which is the symbol of Yong Tau Foo.

The store is said to be small and not too small, it is the kind of small second floor with exquisite decoration, maybe because it is night, there are not many people inside.

Su Mo walked into the small shop and saw about three or four people sitting there scatteredly. He and Shen Chi found an empty corner and sat down. They ordered two plates of stuffed tofu, one plate of homemade tofu, and one dish of tofu and crucian carp soup. Make dishes related to tofu.

The dishes were served in a short while, the Yong Tau Foo soup was rich, the tofu was fried golden, and chopped green onion was sprinkled on top, the yellow, yellow and green were very beautiful!Su Mo took a piece of Yong Tofu for Shen Chi and took a bite himself.

"The soup is mellow, fresh, smooth and tender, very good." Su Mo commented.

"It's delicious, Ah Mo, can you make it?" Shen Chi asked Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled and took a bite of homemade tofu and said, "Yes, but the taste is different from this one. I will make it for you when I go back." After eating delicious food, Su Mo was in a good mood.

Shen Sujin stood respectfully behind Su Mo, Su Mo looked at him and said, "Take it to dinner, don't follow, go straight back to the inn at night." He handed Shen Sujin a piece of silver.Su Mo didn't want someone listening behind him when he was talking to Shen Chi.

The two didn't return to the inn until Haishi, and Shen Sujin was still waiting in the lobby.Su Mo asked him to go to sleep. Shen Chi asked the buddy for hot water to bathe Gaifeng. The injury on Gaifeng's body was completely healed. Now Su Mo was holding him in his arms and playing with Su Mo's clothes with his little baby teeth. .

Su Mo didn't realize that Blast was like a tiger. Shen Chi put Blast on the ground, and Blast pulled Su Mo's legs to climb up. Su Mo looked at it for fun, and poked it with his finger, but Blast flipped over. After somersaulting and lying there pretending to be dead, Su Mo yelled funnyly, "This is Pengci, you're so smart."

At si o'clock the next day, Su Mo and Shen Chi rushed to the place where the saplings were sold.It was a manor with various saplings planted in it. Su Mo and Shen Chi ordered 25 acres of "horse milk" vines. It is said that the wine made from this kind of grapes is delicious. Su Mo also heard about it in his previous life. This kind of grape was brought over by the ancients from the Western Regions.

I also picked peach trees and orange and pear trees. These trees are all mature trees, and their survival rate is not as good as that of seedlings, but as long as they survive, they can bear fruit.

There are too many saplings, and the roots must be protected when digging, so it is not easy to dig. Su Mo and Shen Chi waited for five days before digging, and then went to the county to hire [-] bullock carts to load these saplings, in order to avoid the sun being too hot at noon As a result, the saplings withered, Su Mo asked Shen Mojin to buy dry food and water for the driver. He set off from the afternoon and drove all night, and finally returned to Youranju before noon the next day.

After unloading the saplings and giving each driver an extra two taels of silver, Su Mo asked Uncle He, "Has anything happened at home these few days?"

Uncle He said, "Everything is fine at home. The weeds on the mountain have been pulled out, and a lot of tree pits have been dug. You can plant trees directly in the afternoon. However, Shen and the young master came here, knowing that you and the young master are not here, so there is nothing. Say go."

"Okay, I know, let's go on!" After Uncle He went down, Su Mo asked Shen Chi, "What is Shen He doing here? Could it be that there is another moth in the upper room?"

Shen Chi said, "Don't worry about it, let Shen Sujin inquire and just stare at it"

Su Mo thinks about it too, Shangfang has never been peaceful anyway, as long as he doesn't bother himself and Shen Chi.

After the vines were planted and the trellises were set up, all that was left was to look after and irrigate. Su Mo asked people to build four houses on the mountain.There are one each in the southeast and northwest, where we usually put hoes and fertilizers. When the grapes and fruits are ripe, people can also let people live in them to prevent people from stealing the fruits.

The mountain land behind Youranju was bought by Su Mo and his wife, and no one would come here at ordinary times. In order to prevent people from doing bad things, Su Mo asked people to seal off the road to this forest, and asked Su An to take the nursing home with him. They patrol once or twice a day from time to time to ensure safety.

In this way, there will be insufficient manpower. Su Mo and Shen Chi discussed to buy a few more people.Two men are required to watch the vineyard, and two to make the pastry, preferably women.

Shen Chi thought for a while and said, "Women need to be over 30 years old, so that there will be no problem of getting married, and the prescription will not be spread, and the little girl has a lot of thoughts. If you meet someone who doesn't know herself, add something to us." trouble."

Su Mo knew that Shen Chi was not used to gossip at home, so he said, "I listen to you, you go to town tomorrow, I'm thinking of some recipes for making pastries, and the cherries are ripe, I'm going to pick them off, except The rest of the gifts are made into cherry sauce and sold when we open the shop."

"It's all up to you." Shen Chi kissed Su Mo's forehead.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Mo finished his practice and made a few steamed buns, steamed brown rice porridge, sliced ​​smoked venison, and fried it with cucumber as a side dish. Shen Chi sat at the stove Lower the fire.

After breakfast, Shen Chi went to the town to buy someone, and Su Mo sent someone to pick cherries with a ladder.At this time, Shen Sujin told Su Mo, "Young master, a person outside who claims to be Xie Kang wants to see you,"

"Xie Kang? Please come in." Su Mo turned to Su An and said, "Brother Su, let someone pick two catties of cherries and pack them up first. I want to give them away. In addition, find someone to serve tea."

Xie Kang followed Shen Sujin in from Youranju, and the scenery he saw along the way made his eyes widen in surprise. He also participated in the construction of this house, but he didn't expect that the bare house would become so beautiful in just one month. , it seems that Shen Chi and his wife are more capable than they think.

"Brother Xie is here, sit down quickly," Su Mo greeted.

"Brother Su, this house seems to be alive now. It can be seen that you and Shen Chi have put your heart into it." Xie Kang sat down and said after looking at the furnishings in the house.

Su Mo didn't answer, but pushed the pastry on the table towards Xie Kang's hand and said, "Brother Xie, try this pastry, it's newly made, if you like it, go back and bring it to your sister-in-law."

Xie Kang was also polite, twisted a piece and tasted it and said, "Sweet but not greasy, delicious."

After eating the cake, Xie Kang said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Su, I want to ask you to help me with something."

Su Mo smiled and said, "What can I say if I can help you or not? Brother Xie has helped me and Shen Chi a lot. Shen Chi and I will keep it in mind."

Xie Kang waved his hand and said, "It's not worth it, so I'll make it clear. My brother-in-law used to work in the town, but he was hit by a brick and limped. If you want to be strong, you want to find a job. Yesterday, I saw that your family bought a lot of fruit trees, so I checked to see if your family is short of long-term workers. Although his feet are not convenient, he can still weed in the field and put water. It’s okay. The salary is not high, just a few pennies a day is enough. He will sleep at home for one meal at noon.”

Su Mo didn't expect that he was interceding for his brother-in-law. This kindness is good, but he didn't agree immediately. After all, his inconvenient legs and feet were also a problem.

"Well, let him come and have a look in the afternoon. After all, our family has a lot of land. It's not good if he gets tired after living too much. If he can persist, I will take care of food and housing at the price of [-] Wen a month. You Can you see it?"

Xie Kang didn't expect such a good thing. Eighty renminbi a month, nearly one tael of silver a year. This is a good job. He stood up and bowed to Su Mo and said, "Then thank you, Brother Su. Let my brother-in-law come and take a look." Saying this, he was about to leave.

Su Mo asked Shen Sujin to bring the cherries and said, "These are grown on the trees in the yard. This year, there are few. And this pastry, take it home for my sister-in-law and children to eat."

Xie Kang didn't expect that Su Mo would prepare these meals, so he took the basket and said, "Then I won't be polite, your sister-in-law is good at pickling sour bamboo shoots, I'll send them to your house to try tomorrow."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Then Shen Chi and I will have a good time. Who in the village doesn't know that sister-in-law's craftsmanship is first-class, and no one else can buy it."

Xie Kang left with a smile, and Su Mo escorted him out of the gate.

When others treat him well, he returns [-] points to others. When others treat him very well, he returns [-] points to others. Xie Kang and the others helped him when he and Shen Chi were isolated, so they are willing to take care of them when they are capable. , this is his way of life.

☆、Su Mo makes cherry sauce

Before noon, Shen Chi came back.At the same time, there were two middle-aged men and a woman.

"This is the young master. From now on, I will listen to the young master at home." Shen Chi said to the four of them.

"Yes, I have seen the young master," the four said at the same time.

"Excuse me," Su Mo said

"Uncle He, these two have worked in the orchard before and have some experience. You arrange them to live here. They are called Su Yong and Su Yuan. The two women are also named Su, so they can be called Aunt Su and Erniang Su. You let Auntie and Auntie arrange their accommodation, go down." Shen Chi sent them down.

"Why so fast?" Su Mo asked Shen Chi.

"They came when they bought them. They were all good families. They sold themselves voluntarily because they couldn't afford the land. Those two women were sisters-in-law. They were sold off by the mother-in-law before they gave birth to a son. You can use it." Shen Chi didn't face it positively. Answer Su Mo's words.

Su Mo looked at Shen Chi, couldn't help rubbing his ears and said, "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah..." Shen Chi's other ear was red.Su Mo wanted to tease Shen Chi, but he didn't expect Shen Chi to answer so neatly.With a resounding sip on Shen Chi's face, he said, "Good performance, I'll make stuffed tofu tonight."

Then, Su Mo told Shen Chi what Xie Kang said in the morning. Shen Chi looked at Su Mo with beseeching eyes and said, "I'm not as good as you in this aspect, so you can handle it as you like. As I said, live leisurely." You have the final say on everything, and you don’t need to consider others, including me.”

Shen Chi seldom said such pretentious words, he believed in Su Mo, and in himself and his feelings.He was willing to give Su Mo all his trust, and he also asked Su Mo to fully trust himself.Su Mo understands, so he always does whatever he wants, but the relationship needs to be communicated. Su Mo is using his own way to manage the relationship between the two. Now it seems that this way is good.

After lunch, Su Mo and Shen Chi were picking cherries in the backyard. Shen Sujin came over and said, "Master, a lame man came outside and said he wanted to find you."

When Su Mo and Shen Chi walked to the door of Youranju, they saw a young man in gray shorts standing in his thirties standing at the door looking at the couplet.After seeing Su Mo and Shen Chi, the young man saluted and said, "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Fu. I am Xie Kang's brother-in-law. Xie Kang told me to come over in the afternoon. I can't wait to come and have a look. Didn't bother you?" "

"It's okay, it's our blessing that brother Zhang can come, please come in." Su Mo greeted.

Zhang Fu followed Su Mo into the Leisurely Residence and walked towards the backyard. The fragrance of flowers and fruits along the way was very sweet.Zhang Fu patted his head and said, "Your place is a good place, these fruit trees and flowers are growing very well."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Why did Brother Zhang say such a thing, it's just a common thing."

"Don't look at my limp, my eyes are so sharp. These flowers and plants, fruit trees and fruits are carefully tended, don't look at the same as ordinary fruit trees now, I can't see it for a year, the people in your yard The fruit will be more than one layer better than others, you should be more careful when you sell it."

Su Mo didn't expect Zhang Fu to see the difference at a glance. The plants in this yard, Su Mo, need to water some diluted space well water every seven days, so they grow very well.

"Brother Zhang has good eyesight. Shen Chi learned a method outside. It is very useful for fruit trees and flowers, but the price is a bit high. It is not worthwhile to use it in a large area. I only use it in the yard, so these fruits are very different. .” Su Mo made up an excuse, but Zhang Fu didn’t know the truth anyway.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Fu also knew that the secret method cannot be revealed, so he stopped asking.

"The cherries are big and sweet, but the branches haven't been pruned, which wastes water and needs to be pruned." Zhang Fu said while watching Shen Sujin and the others picking cherries.

"Brother Zhang also understands this?"

"Father used to show fruit trees to others, so I learned a little from him," Zhang Fu said.

Su Mo arched his hand and said, "This is going to trouble Brother Zhang. It's not good there. Tell Su Yong and Su Yuan to let them go up the tree and prune it. Just watch from the bottom."

"Since you don't think I can't work because of my poor legs and feet, I'll take it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'll look at it every day when I come to weed. The monthly money Xie Kang told me No, I don’t want so much, thirty Wen per month is enough.”

"This can't be done," Su Mo arched his hands and said, "Xie Kang and Ah Chi are brothers, so I'll call you Brother Zhang. We agreed that [-] Wen a month would be [-] Wen. If you feel sorry, you can If you teach Su Yong and Su Yuan more, it will be regarded as Shuxiu paid to you."

Zhang Fu didn't refuse anymore, he just told them everything he knew.

And so it was settled.

In the evening, Su Mo made the promised stuffed tofu for Shen Chi.

First wash the tofu and control the moisture, then wash the pork belly and chop the stuffing.Then remove the stalks of the shiitake mushrooms, wash them, remove the water, and chop them into fine pieces, then add the minced pork belly and shiitake mushrooms to salt, pepper, minced green onion and soy sauce and stir evenly for later use.

Cut the tofu into one-inch cubes, hollow out the center with a spoon, and add the mixed shiitake mushrooms.Pour soybean oil into the pan, put the tofu into the pan and fry slowly over low heat until golden brown on both sides.

Take out an empty bowl, pour in salt, pepper, starch, soy sauce, without MSG Sumo uses his own umami powder to enhance the taste, then pour the thickened soup into the fried golden tofu, simmer slowly, The dish is ready until the broth thickens and the flavors soak into the tofu.

Su Mo took a sip of the Yong Tau Fu made. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of the Yong Tau Foo family, the well water in the space tastes better and has the effect of enhancing the flavor. tasty.

Nodding in satisfaction, he stewed another pork rib soup, and the evening meal was ready.

After dinner, Su Mo took Gale to the yard to let the wind out.The dogs, Shen Chi, have been handed over to Su An for training
