The Scenery of Farmgate

Yang Shu had lunch at Chu's house, and then went to Lie Sun's house. Master Sun was very busy recently, and Yang Shu didn't see anyone, so he talked to Mrs. Sun for a while, and mentioned that he wanted to make small snacks. Because the young master of the Sun family had been thinking about going to Dongshan Village to play, Yang Shu thought that he would let the young master of the Sun family go to play with the brothers of the Chu family for a long time.

Because Mr. Sun has always praised Yang Shu, Mrs. Sun was also very polite to Yang Shu, but she didn't agree immediately when she heard this, but said, "I can't decide this matter, I have to wait for the master to come back to make a decision. "

Yang Shu said: "It doesn't matter. If you can come, you can come with Mr. Chu and the others. If you can't, I will ask Mr. Chu to bring some food back for the young master."

"You are interested, no wonder that child likes you so much," Mrs. Sun said with a smile, her son really missed this Yang Silang very much, and when he came back, he either wanted to keep Yang Shu or go with him.

"Madam, you are welcome. The young master is very cute, obedient and sensible, very cute."

Yang Shu didn't know Madam well, so he was about to leave after talking politely for a while, Madam Sun asked him to pack a lot of snacks for him to take back to eat.

After leaving Sun's house, Yang Shu went shopping in the county again, and just after shopping, he ran into Yang Shan who was patrolling the street.

Yang Shan was with another yamen servant, and the two of them were sweating profusely from the heat.

The clerk who was with him seemed very dissatisfied with him, and kept complaining, "It's really unlucky, so I'm in a group with you. If you didn't offend someone, who would come out to patrol under such a big sun."

"I used to think that you were quite clever, but in the end you are also blind. You can't tell who can offend and who can't. I think you should stop being a government servant, pack up your things as soon as possible and go back to farming go."

"There are too many people who want to enter the yamen. If you leave early, you can make room for others. Maybe you can get a thank you."

Yang Shan didn't say a word, but his expression was ugly.

In fact, he regretted it a long time ago. He shouldn't have listened to his parents say a few words and then pushed the leader to trouble him at Yang Silang's stall. Who would have thought that the Yang family was so poor back then, and owed foreign debts of more than ten taels of silver. I don't know how long it will take to pay it off.Even Yang Silang, who jumped into the river, didn't know if it would be okay.

In the end, I didn't expect that the Yang family would marry him a happy husband, and it would be fine in a blink of an eye. For a rich and powerful family in the county, it is just a matter of letting the people in the yamen squeeze him out.

But it's useless to regret it any more. The few insighted people in his family offended the Yang family thoroughly, and even implicated him. He didn't have the face to beg Yang Silang not to be squeezed out of him anymore. He only hoped that Yang Silang Don't care about it like his family, just let him lose this job.

Yang Shu didn't expect to meet Yang Shan, nor did he expect to hear such words. He didn't call for anyone, and just pretended not to see him and left with his things.

How Yang Shan is different from the rest of his family, Yang Shu doesn't care, anyway, Yang Qiaoer, Yang Dafu and others have offended him severely, so he doesn't have the kindness to speak for Yang Shan.

……

After Yang Shu waited at home for two days, the Chu Heng brothers came, as did Master Sun and Young Master Sun.

Young Master Sun had never been to such a country place before, so he felt that it was not as clean as the city, but he also found it strange.Of course, what made him miss the most were those little snacks that Yang Shu said.

As soon as Young Master Sun saw Yang Shu, he ran towards him, "Brother Yang, what delicious food did you cook, can you give me some first, I didn't even eat breakfast and kept my belly full."

Master Sun also stepped forward to talk to Yang Shu, "Mr. Yang is laughing. This kid has been thinking about coming to your house to eat delicious food since last night. This morning, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat when he is full. He doesn't even have breakfast. Ken ate it."

Yang Shu smiled, but he could understand that Young Master Sun is a snack food person, nothing is more important than eating, and the food must be able to fit in the belly.

Yang Shu greeted the Chu Heng brothers again, let them sit down again, and said: "I made some shortbread with different flavors. I originally wanted to let you take it away when you go back, but the young master didn't eat. Then eat two shortbread to pad your stomach first."

Yang Shu asked Tangning to bring out two plates of shortbread. It was different from what Yang Shu made last time at Sun's house. This time, there were not only fillings but also empty ones. Yang Shu pointed at the small round cakes without fillings Introduction, "This can be called a biscuit. Today I make sweet ones, or I can make salty ones, and I can also make onion-flavored ones. I can make some at any time, depending on personal preference."

The shortbread filled with fillings was filled with different fillings, including meat fillings, sugar fillings, and nectar mung bean paste and red bean paste. Tangning picked up two of each, and each person could share half of it. In this way, you can eat several other fillings.

"Eat first, I have a lot to do today, so I'll go to the kitchen first."

Master Sun waved his hand, "Go, let's go, we're lucky too."

Yang Shu was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and first made three kinds of spicy strips, with different shapes and slightly different tastes.

Then I made a pot of lo-mei, with both meat and vegetables. The vegetarian dishes were all picked from my own vegetable garden, and all the meat was sold.

For example, there are many kinds of duck neck, duck gizzard, chicken leg and duck leg, and pig large intestine. Yang Shu also divided them into flavors, spicy, spiced, and sweet and spicy.

Without chili, Yang Shu completely used cornel as chili, and now he is very proficient in seasoning.

The four people sitting in the yard kept talking, and even recruited the Yang family's children who were playing outside, running and jumping while chattering and eating, it was very lively.

Yang Shu didn't cook at noon, he only cooked rice, then cut some braised pork, some ingredients, half an egg for each person, and poured a little marinade for lunch for the Yang family.

Master Sun and the others were also very greedy looking at the braised pork rice, but they started eating it as soon as they came, and they could only watch it longingly when they were full.

Master Sun was a little envious and a little bit sighed when he saw his son who was mixed with the children of the Yang family, "This brat is still smart, I should have gone out without breakfast in the morning if I knew it like this."

It's not just him, Chu Gan is also very envious. He also wants to eat braised pork rice, but he is also very supportive.

Only the eldest son of Chu, Chu Heng, was more reserved, but he also ate a lot this morning.

The Yang family went to rest after lunch. There was no place for Chu Heng and the others to sleep at home, so Yang Shu found two umbrellas and took them to see the waterwheel.

On the way, Chu Gan approached Yang Shu and said to him, "Boss Yang, don't you plan to build a house in your family? I see that you have so many families, it's quite crowded to live in."

"Besides, it's not convenient for people to come here. I think you can build a bigger house and live in a spacious place, don't you think so?" Chu Gan looked at Yang Shu with anticipation.

Then he added, "If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you. Oh, by the way, there are rewards. Because of the water mill, there are a lot of rewards from above. This time we also brought some for you. I am in a hurry to get off the carriage in the morning. Forgot to give it to you."

The meaning of Chu Gan’s words is obvious. He wants the house to be wider, and he will come to eat and drink in the future and have a place to rest. It’s okay to be hot now, but if it’s cold, it’s not good to sit in the yard and eat. How much it affects appetite.

Yang Shu smiled after listening, "Then I will think about it."

"What are you thinking about? This house has to be repaired sooner or later. Didn't you just finish your work? There must be a lot of idle people in the village. You just take advantage of this time to find someone to repair it. If there is no suitable one in your village, I will You can also look for it in the county." Chu Gan continued to lobby.

It's not that Yang Shu didn't think about repairing the house, but at that time there wasn't much money, and it wasn't enough to repair a bigger one, and it was better not to repair it if it was too small.After that, I was just busy and forgot.

Now that Chu Gan mentions it, Yang Shu thinks it’s time to fix it. Apart from anything else, it’s getting cold. There’s no air-conditioning or heating here, and there’s no down jacket here. It’s probably all about being upright in the winter. Living in the current house in winter is indeed true. uncomfortable.

"You don't need to look for it. I'll go back and discuss it with my family. If they think it's okay, I'll fix it."

Chu Gan was happy when he heard this, "Then you must tell your uncles and aunts well, if you don't have enough money, you can find me."

This kindness made Chu Heng, who followed them and heard their conversation, feel that he was really blind, pulled him to his side, and said to Yang Shu: "Your house is indeed well repaired. When the business starts, someone will come to you." When the village sees that your house is too poor, I'm afraid it will look down on you."

No matter what era the house and car are in, they are a certain status symbol.

Although it is said that it is in the country, it will not make people think highly of it, but it must be happy to have a good house.

"Well, I'll tell my family when I go back, by the way, Eldest Young Master, what you said just now means that someone wants to come to our village to buy goods?"

Chu Heng nodded, "Stinky tofu and snail noodles are well-known in Kyoto, but not in other places. Businessmen who know how to do business are probably on their way to Dongshan Village."

Master Sun also answered, "My caravan has been traveling for so long. I must have met a lot of people on the road. I guess there are also many people who want to do this business. I can't hide this matter. Just ask about it. arrive."

Running a business can’t be done alone, otherwise no one will know what will happen on the road. Master Sun has told his subordinates, and if anyone inquires about them, he will tell the truth. After all, there are many people in Dayu, and the business is also sold out.

After hearing what they said, Yang Shu had an idea in his mind, "It seems that I not only need to build my own house, but also need to build an inn for these people who come to buy goods."

While talking, they had already arrived at the place where the waterwheel was erected. The tall waterwheel stood in the river. Yang Shu let them watch, and he went to release the water. When the water hits, the water splashes up and down to the fields on the side.

It also brings a little bit of coolness, which relieves the heat of the day.
