Ran Yuanyao hadn't sat down for a while, when laughter came from outside.He turned around curiously, and saw two dark-skinned teenagers coming in with a basket on their backs, stuffing snacks into their mouths from time to time.

As the sun went down, people from a distance came back in twos and threes, and many people's roofs had already emitted cooking smoke.

The sun has become so warm, the evening wind blows, the tired birds return to their nests, and the sunset glow in the sky dyes everything with a thin layer of red light.

Even Ran Yuanyao, a science student, had to sigh when he saw this scene.

The old man also came out, and seeing only the two of them came back, he asked, "Where's your master?"

"Walk behind with master, today we caught a lot of small crabs, master said fried five-spice crabs to eat."

The old man shook his head, he couldn't appreciate their taste very much, "Little crabs are all shells, what's delicious?"

"It's delicious when it's done. The small crabs are cleaned, coated with seasoned flour, and deep-fried in the pan. I can take one bite at a time." Zhao Mingtai smiled, met Ran Yuanyao's eyes, and Ran Yuanyao smiled at him Laughing, greeted Zhao Mingtai and Zhao Fushun, "Hello."

The old man took a look and patted his head, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten it. Mingtai, obedient, this is your master's friend Ran Yuanyao, you call him Uncle Yuanyao."

Zhao Mingtai and Zhao Fushun immediately shouted, "Uncle Yuanyao."

Ran Yuanyao pointed to the small basket in their hands, and greeted them with a smile, "Want to help?"

"No, no, you can just sit down. If the master comes back and knows that we asked you to help, he will definitely peel off our skin."

Ran Yuanyao smiled, "So afraid of him? Your master is very cruel to you?"

"If you are not fierce, you are not fierce. Master is very strict with us."

Ran Yuanyao saw that they put things away neatly, poured well water and poured the small crabs into the wooden basin, each of them took a small brush and began to brush the small crabs, he got a little excited, gave the old man a hug, rolled up his sleeves, He smiled and said, "I'll brush with you."

Zhao Mingtai and his two had already practiced their skills, they picked up the small crabs quickly and well, with their fingers flying, a pile of small crabs had accumulated in the basin after a while.

They were sitting on wooden stools and working slowly, Li Ping and Zhao Danshi walked back shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing.

Zhao Danshi was very pleasantly surprised to see Ran Yuanyao. Before he put down his things, he couldn't help rushing up to hug him, "Yuanyao, long time no see."

Ran Yuanyao patted him on the back, "It's been a long time, it looks like you're doing well."

Zhao Danshi was tall, fair-skinned, and full of smiles in his eyes. Standing there, his spirit was different from that of ordinary people.

"That's right." There was a hint of pride in Zhao Danshi's eyes.

After Ran Yuanyao hugged him, he turned to greet Li Ping with a smile, "Li Ping."

Li Ping asked with a smile, "Did you drive all day?"

"That's not true. I stayed in the hotel last night and left at nine o'clock today."

"Don't stand here, let's go in and have a chat while having tea." Zhao Danshi ordered his disciples without saying a word, "Go catch a chicken and kill it. We will eat chicken tonight."

"Master, are you still frying the little crabs?"

"Fry it, fry a small crab, fry a chicken, kill a few rice flower fish, add some cold cucumber, and make a soup, anyway, you can figure it out, the standard of six dishes and one soup, I can't handle it with you Try."

"Decree! Master, let's catch a big cock right now." Zhao Mingtai and the others have been coveting the big cocks of Zhao Danshi's house for a long time, and when they heard what their master said, they immediately ran over to catch the big cock .

After a while, Liu Erhua also came back and cleaned up the vegetables with his junior brother.

Hearing the laughter in the yard, Ran Yuanyao couldn't help but said to Zhao Danshi: "You manage well, how is it, now you're a master, doesn't it feel good?"

"That's it. It's the same as raising children. Whether they are happy or not is secondary. The main thing is to let them learn crafts. After they graduate, they can rely on cooking skills to make a living. I will be worthy of their family." Zhao Danshi poured him tea, " Are you tired from driving? Do you want to take a shower quickly, and go to bed after eating. "

"It's okay. I'm not too tired." Ran Yuanyao said with a smile: "Actually, I haven't been driving for long. It's much easier than when I go to work."

After dinner, the sun had already set. The three disciples bid farewell to Zhao Shanshi and went home together.In the evening wind, their laughter spread far away.

Ran Yuanyao couldn't help but sigh when he heard it at home, "You three apprentices are really lively."

"Young people, it's more lively." Zhao Shanshi smiled, "Shall I take a bath now? Shall I help you fetch water?"

"No, I can do it myself." Ran Yuanyao stretched his waist, "Don't be polite to me, or I will feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, then I'm not being polite to you, you can do it yourself. Are there any towels and toothbrushes? If not, I'll get you one."

"No." Ran Yuanyao asked: "Is there a toothbrush with soft bristles? Get me a toothbrush with soft bristles."

"Yes." Zhao Shanshi turned around and went to the room to bring him a toothbrush and towel, and instructed him to carry water to the bathroom for a shower.

They usually boil water to [-] or [-] degrees now, and they have to mix cold water with hot water to take a bath.The well is right next to it, so if you want to take a bath, just press some water out.

Ran Yuanyao said by the water: "You really live in an idyllic life here."

Zhao Shanshi lowered his voice, "I have Watchman. If it weren't for Watchman, our life would not be so lively."

"That's true."

When Ran Yuanyao came out of the shower, Zhao Shanshi took him to the room.

The room had just been tidied up, and it was very clean inside, except for a wardrobe, a bed, a table, and a chair.The furniture in the room are all old objects, with the kind of special warm light precipitated by the years.

In order to cater to Ran Yuanyao's aesthetics, Zhao Danshi specially placed a pottery vase with a big belly and a small mouth in a corner of the table. Together, lively yet quiet.

Ran Yuanyao fiddled with the flowers with his fingers, and couldn't help laughing.He was still a little worried about Zhao Danshi's life at first, but after seeing this vase, that little worry in his heart completely disappeared.

If a person does not live very leisurely, he will not even notice this small detail.

The night in the countryside is dark, like a huge quilt wrapping all its people in it, luring them into the deepest dream.

Ran Yuanyao was never a sleeper, and he didn't get up until after eight o'clock the next day.When he woke up, the whole yard had already woken up, and the most human life was everywhere, and it didn't seem noisy, but it was full of the fireworks of the world.Lying on the bed and listening carefully, I can still hear the babbling of DouDou.

"Yuanyao, are you awake? Get up and wash up and get ready for breakfast."

"Wake up, come." Ran Yuanyao lazily shouted, got up and changed into casual clothes, and walked out with a drag.

His appearance was originally gentle, but with such a dress, he immediately looked a few years younger.

Zhao Danshi looked at him, as if he had returned to his high school days, "Morning."

"Good morning. What are you eating this morning? It smells so good."

"Drink rice porridge, with side dishes and meat buns. The porridge made from new rice, side dishes pickled a few months ago, and meat buns stuffed with my own stuffing. Try to see if it suits your taste."

Ran Yuanyao said with a smile: "I don't need to taste it, I know the taste will be the same."

"Then wash up and eat breakfast quickly." Zhao Danshi smiled and said, "I saw that you were sleeping soundly so I didn't call you. The others have already eaten. This porridge, buns and side dishes are specially reserved for you. You Let's have breakfast first, and see what you want for lunch later?"

Before Ran Yuanyao could answer, Zhao Mingtai, who was chopping vegetables and leaves in the yard to feed the chickens, heard the movement and hurriedly answered, "Master, dry pot duck, you said yesterday that you would make dry pot duck to entertain guests."

Ya Zimei asked for leave today, so the job of chopping vegetables and feeding chickens fell to him and Zhao Fushun.

Zhao Shanshi was bringing breakfast under the eaves, and he had a headache when he heard the words, "You can't hear anything else, but you react the fastest when it comes to food."

"That's right, I'm a chef."

"Okay, the two of you will catch two ducks and kill them after you finish chopping the vegetables and feeding the chickens. I'll do it myself at noon." Zhao Danshi raised his voice and asked Li Ping who was in the room, "Brother, when will Yao Jingming arrive? You ask?" Ask him if he can come over for lunch?"

After a while, Li Ping replied: "He said yes, he is already in our county, and he will arrive in the village in more than an hour."

Zhao Danshi put down his breakfast and said to Ran Yuanyao: "Yuanyao, there is another guest coming later, do you want to stay here after breakfast or go out with me?"

On WeChat, Zhao Danshi asked Zhao Zhiming to leave him two catties of pork ribs, two catties of pork belly, and a pair of pig's trotters. When they came back from picking vegetables, they just stopped by to pick them up.

"Let me go out with you for a stroll."

Their village is not big, but the scenery is good, and there are many places to see.The dozens of acres of vegetables grown by Zhao Danshi alone are quite interesting.

"Where do you sell these vegetables? Is there a market?"

"Yes." Zhao Danshi pointed to the vegetables in front of him, "We opened a vegetable shop in the county town, and we pick vegetables every morning to sell in the county town. Besides, we also have a regular big customer , Every morning, a truck will come to pick up the vegetables.”

"Once these two batches are consumed, the remaining vegetables are basically nothing. If you can't sell out vegetables such as beans that grow faster in a day, you can pick pickled sour beans, dried beans, etc. The same is true for peppers, etc. If it can’t be sold out, the sales of dried chili will be good.”

"There are many kinds of vegetables grown here, but the quantity of each is not very large. We have already opened a Taobao store. If the production volume catches up next year, some of them may be sold directly through Taobao."

Ran Yuanyao couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said clearly and logically, "It's not bad, it looks good."

Zhao Danshi showed a hint of pride on his face, "We earn more money now than when I was a designer."
