Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Everyone did not expect that the young man who appeared to be from an extraordinary background in front of him was so delicious, it made people laugh.

After all, with such a background, if you haven't seen any delicious food, you won't be surprised.Who would have thought that he could be ashamed to beg for food? It was really surprising and a little funny.

Shopkeeper Zhao is very helpless, but the matter has come to this point and there is nothing to stop it.

Although the son of his family was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he is not as extravagant and self-willed as other sons from rich families in the mansion. He is smart and humble. Running a business is hard but never complains, and even enjoys it.

But there is only one thing, and that is delicious.

Obviously, there is never a shortage of food at home, and they are quite particular about it, but whenever they come across something they have never eaten, they want to try it.

Other gourmets are very picky because they have tasted all kinds of food. When cooking food, every step must be perfect to be satisfied, so as not to make a fuss and end up with nothing to eat.But his young master is not like that, he loves to eat but he doesn't pay much attention to it.He can be thick or thin, whether it is delicate dishes or rural rough food, he can taste the unique taste.

It was also because of this that those old gourmets didn't take his son to play at all, because they thought he was an idiot rather than a person who knew taste.His son also disdains to be with these people, thinking that they put the cart before the horse and are too particular about the charm of different delicacies.

It's good that my son is like this, but it's just that he is so undefended at this time, which makes people feel a little helpless.

Although my son is not like this usually, now he sees that this group of people don't look like villains, and there are people from the Ping An Escort Bureau here, so they are unscrupulous, but what if everything is wrong?

But his son insisted on getting closer, and there was no room for negotiation in that posture, so shopkeeper Zhao couldn't say much.

Although my son is usually very talkative and polite to them old people, but when it comes to making up his mind, no one can question him, especially when it comes to eating.

Although shopkeeper Zhao was helpless, he didn't stop him, he just made a gesture and ordered people to be vigilant.If something happens, he can respond in time, not because he is too careful, but because the experience of these years has made him a habit.

Chang Xisheng smiled and said: "My lord, you don't need to be polite. If you like to eat, you can take it. Why do you need to care about it like this? It's not a valuable thing."

Young Master Jinyi waved his hand, and said very principledly: "I'm not the one who eats for free, you guys should try my beef jerky too, I dare say you have never eaten such delicious jerky."

Chang Xisheng still wanted to refuse, but Chang Xile secretly stopped him, saying: "In that case, let's exchange. If I'm not mistaken, you guys are dried yaks? I always wanted to try it if I had the chance, but I didn't expect it to happen today. It happened. This thing is expensive, but we took advantage of it."

The cattle here are a very important part of farming, and they cannot be slaughtered at will. If they die of illness, they will be reported to the Yamen.However, this does not mean that there is no beef for sale, it is just that there is less.

But yaks are not farming cattle, so there is no problem in using them for food.It's just that yaks are not from good countries, but from other countries, so they are rare to see, and the price is not cheap.

Young Master Jin Yi's eyes brightened a bit when he heard this, "I knew you were a foodie! How could you know what it was made of just by looking at it like this? Don't you think about food?"

Chang Xile smiled, "Thinking about it is not enough, but it is more delicious, so I just think about how to make delicious food in my spare time. Life is alive, eating, drinking and having fun."

Mr. Jinyi was even more cheerful, "Your words are too appetizing to me. Others say that delicious is not a good word, but it must be accompanied by laziness. If you have the ability to satisfy your mouth, you can taste all the delicious food in the world. This is not in vain to come to this world! Come, come, come and taste my dried yak, and I will eat your snail noodles, tsk tsk, this stuff is really delicious, I can smell it from all the way.”

Chang Xile accepted it bluntly and distributed it to everyone, and Mr. Jinyi didn't need help from others, he boiled the rice noodles and put the ingredients in the soup by himself.

go down...

Choking.

Young Master Jin Yi almost coughed out his lungs, his entire face turned red.

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly delivered water, and Mr. Jinyi drank several mouthfuls before he regained his strength.

"Cough, cough, why is this thing so spicy!"

"There is cornel in it, and a lot of it. This is the spicy rice oil made of cornel paste and cornel. You put too much of it just now..."

Chang Xi was happy to see tears in his eyes, so hot that he wanted to jump up on the spot, and sympathized very much.

It's not that he forgot to remind, but that when he saw the person in front of him, he knew that he was a foodie who had tasted all kinds of food.Thinking about foodies with good conditions, most of them have sensitive senses of taste and smell, so they must know what these two things are.Especially this person looks very knowledgeable, did not expect that it is not the case at all.

"Hey, this is dogwood. I've eaten it before, but it didn't taste good, so I didn't try it again. I didn't expect it to be so delicious. I said that the taste is so familiar. I didn't know what it was for a while, but I thought it was very fragrant. , accidentally put too much."

Young Master Jin Yi just recovered, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and wanted to eat.

Chang Xile and Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly stopped her.

Shopkeeper Zhao: "My lord, you can't, this food is too spicy, if you eat it, it will damage your stomach."

Chang Xile also said: "You are not used to spicy food, so don't eat like this, it will cause stomach upset."

Young Master Jinyi frowned, "I just accidentally choked on it, it's nothing too spicy."

Chang Xile didn't want this well-known figure to have a stomachache after eating his own food, and he would be in trouble if he got angry for a while but found them bad luck.

"Young master, why don't you try to eat less spicy food first, it's better to be cautious on the way."

Shopkeeper Zhao also begged helplessly, "My lord..."

Only then did Mr. Jin Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, "It's alright, alright, I'll just change to another bowl, but it's a pity that this bowl was lost."

The talkative groom was the quickest to respond, and quickly said: "This bowl is a reward for the old and the little ones!"

The snail soup is not easy to take. Although it is intentionally thickened and water is added to make a large pot of soup, it is still not much, and one bowl is only for one person.Most of the people who run outside are big-bellied men, so as to ensure their physical strength for a day, so such a bowl is not enough at all. Although it can be accompanied by dry food, there is no better way to eat rice noodles.

Shopkeeper Zhao originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to be caught first, so he could only give up in embarrassment.Although he is not as delicious as Mr. Jinyi, this stuff is obviously much more delicious than the dry food in his hand!Besides, no matter how delicious the dry food in their hands was, they still felt sick after eating it for more than half a month.

Unfortunately, there was not much left in the pot, and the second bowl of Mr. Jinyi was already the last.

Young Master Jinyi was finally able to eat this time, and he couldn't help but praise immediately after taking a bite, "It's cool!"

Three times, five times and two times, I finished eating in a few times, and I still feel unsatisfied after eating.

"This stuff is really strong, especially the dogwood in it, which is very spicy. After a day's driving, eating this stuff can relieve the pressure in my chest."

Mr. Jinyi praised sincerely that the snail noodles are indeed delicious, but it is still obviously a thick soup mixed with water, which is not so pure, and the taste is slightly inferior.So what amazes him the most is the spicy taste in it. This kind of taste makes people unable to let go once they get used to it. It is a taste that will make people enchanted.

Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng are not surprised by this result, they are also the most direct recipients.Although my head was fainted when I boiled this stuff during that time, no one would not like to eat it because of this.Now that Chang's family is short of a meal, he feels uncomfortable somewhere, and always feels that things are not tasty enough.

Seeing that he liked it so much, Chang Xile and the others were also very happy, and they became more confident in their own things.After all, this unknown young master is likely to be the Shen family or someone with a relatively high status in the Shen family. If someone like him appreciates it, it means that their things are not a problem.

Chang Xisheng said: "If you like it, young master, you can take a jar of dogwood paste and spicy rice oil and treat it as a replacement for this dried yak meat."

Mr. Jinyi was very generous and gave a lot of yak meat, which was far greater than the value of snail noodles.Moreover, the taste of this yak jerky is indeed very good, very chewy, making people unable to stop after one bite.The most important thing is that although such people do not expect to climb up, if the other party likes it, it will be extremely beneficial to their promotion and sales.

Young Master Jin Yi waved his hand, "The yak meat was used to exchange this snail powder just now, you want to give me dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil, and I will also give you a bag of spices. Although this thing is used for making incense, but I think it can definitely be used for cooking food."

As he said that, he gestured for shopkeeper Zhao to get it. Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and went out to get things in the carriage.

Chang Xi said happily: "My lord, there is no need to be so polite."

"It's just reciprocity. If I'm not mistaken, the dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil are loaded on the carriage outside, right? The reason why you came into the mansion is to do this business?"

Chang Xisheng and Chang Xile looked at each other, and Chang Xisheng said generously: "Master, the dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil are indeed from our Taoyuan Village, and I want to see if these things are sold this time. Besides these two things , and tea seed oil."

"Taoyuan Village? The name of this village is good. It reminds me of the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains. I think it must be an extremely beautiful place." Young Master Jinyi looked yearning.

"You guys have ideas. You know that farming is not enough. This snail powder is also produced by you? I have traveled all over the world, but I have never seen such a way of eating. Everyone thinks that snails are very cheap, and poor people don't pay much attention to them. , I didn’t expect that this soup would be so delicious.”

Chang Xi paused for a moment. This thing was made by Chang Xile, but everyone never asked where it came from, and they thought it was in the county.Later, when he went to the county, he discovered that there was no such thing, and it was all new things.In fact, he was also curious about how his younger brother was so familiar with the matter on the stove.But after thinking about it, he felt that his younger brother was a smart kid, so he might not have the talent, so he didn't say much.

Just being asked, Chang Xisheng hesitated.

This time, Chang Xile no longer read everything in books. After suffering a loss, she would rather brazenly portray herself as a genius who can do anything.

"It's just some ideas in my spare time. I didn't expect to make it taste really good."

Chang Xisheng was slightly surprised, this statement was different from before.

Chang Xile said embarrassedly: "Brother, I used to be afraid that you would say that I was too lazy to study and ponder these nonsense, so I didn't tell the truth."

Before Chang Xisheng could open his mouth, Young Master Jinyi smiled and said: "I can tell from looking at you that you and I are on the same road! Such delicious food is indeed made by you. Presumably the same is true for these dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil, right? "

Chang Xile smiled and did not deny it, Young Master Jin Yi ran to Chang Xile's side and wanted to sit down, but was pushed aside by Chang Yu, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.

Young Master Jin Yi was stunned, then ran to the other side, and was squeezed away by Chang Yu again.

Young Master Jin Yi squinted his eyes, and jumped up and down on both sides of Chang Xile, but Chang Yu didn't mess around with him, and stood up, grabbed Young Master Jin Yi's collar, and threw it aside.

The members of the Shen family's caravan helped their foreheads one after another, feeling extremely ashamed that their young master was being stupid again, but no one came up to help.

After all, it would be embarrassing to use them to save someone who was thrown out by a ten-year-old child.

Chang Yu grasped his sense of proportion, so he didn't throw people hard.

Young Master Jin Yi stood up straight, not only was he not angry, but he was very interested in Chang Yu, "This kid is really strong!"

Although Chang Yu behaved like an ordinary person outside, he still didn't hide his possessiveness towards Chang Xile.Apart from Chang Xisheng, even Chang Xiqing and the others refused to let them approach, and Chang Xile had nothing to do about it.Fortunately, he himself is not very close to people, and no one like this young man in brocade clothes always wants to be by his side.

"I'm offended, Xiao Miao is still young and doesn't know much about the world."

Young Master Jinyi just smiled and didn't care, nor did he insist on sitting next to Chang Xile, "With such a person guarding me, I can sleep well at night."

Chang Xile smiled without saying a word, thinking that this really happened.

At this time, shopkeeper Zhao came in with a bag of things, and Mr. Jinyi said: "You are very talented in eating, just help me take a look at this thing. I want to know how this thing is used for cooking food besides making incense superior."

Chang Xile was not polite to him, and opened the bag directly, her eyes lit up, "Isn't this cumin!"

He had been asking the doctor to check for these spices before, but he couldn't find them all the time, but he didn't expect to come across them at this time.

"You really know this thing!" Young Master Jinyi said excitedly, and wanted to get closer to Chang Xile but was stared back by Chang Yu.

Chang Xile was also very happy, "Using this stuff to roast mutton kebabs and roast whole lamb, you will never forget the taste after eating it once. This stuff is excellent as a seasoning!"

Young Master Jinyi was overjoyed, "I said this thing must be edible, and I was laughed at. Everyone said I don't know how to be elegant, hmph, I still think they don't know what to do."

Making incense with cumin sounds more elegant than food seasoning, but it is far less attractive to Chang Xile than food seasoning.

Chang Yu used to beat wild sheep back from time to time, which made him miss cumin and mutton skewers even more.

Maybe it was because he couldn't eat many things after being ill in his previous life, which made him extremely obsessed with eating, always thinking about recovering and eating happily to make up for the regrets in the past.

"When we get to the village ahead, if someone raises a sheep, we can buy one and show you the charm of this thing."

Young Master Jin Yi was even happier, "I knew this thing was right for you to see!"

After the conversation, Chang Xile realized that cumin is not available in Liangguo, and it needs to be sent from a very far away, and the cost is very high.Because it is expensive and rare, people here use it to make incense, so they don't think about cooking.

After hearing this, Wang Dali couldn't help but said, "Wouldn't it cost a lot of money for such a small bag?"

Young Master Jinyi disagreed, "It's not easy to meet like-minded people, this is nothing. Besides, this thing is not so precious now. Now that the business roads have been opened up, it is more convenient to come and go, and there are more caravans. It’s becoming more and more worthless. In fact, this thing is not a rare item, it’s just that the long distance has raised the price.”

Chang Xile was also very happy to hear this. Although he is not that delicious, if he can enrich the menu, why not do it.

Seeing Mr. Jinyi confessing so frankly, everyone felt closer, so they dared to ask them about running a business.Although Young Master Jinyi looked pampered, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and sometimes acted like a child, he seemed unreliable, but he went to many places.

And he is also a good speaker, talking about the things during the journey, like a storyteller, people can't stop listening.

These stories also contain a lot of information, from which Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng can learn a lot about the folk customs of various places, what is missing and what is available, the rules of doing business in the house, etc., and benefited a lot.

And Chang Xile would use his past life experience and knowledge to explain some problems and phenomena from time to time, so that Young Master Jin Yi, who was originally just an anecdote but now understood the meaning behind it, also gained a lot, and he also admired Chang Xile very much.

They talked happily and exchanged identities with each other, which let Chang Xile know who this young man in brocade clothes really is.

This young man in Jinyi came from the Guo Shen family, and is Shen Baili, the third son of the current head of the Shen family.He has been running around with caravans since he was 13 years old, and it has been five years now, which can be described as rich experience.

Although Chang Xile and his group had never been to a business, they could guess how hard it was from Shen Baili's understatement just now.

It is not uncommon for the Shen family to go to far away places and not come back for a year or so.The journey was difficult, and sometimes people lost their lives along the way.Like this time, their trip lasted only a month, so it was relatively relaxed, so they looked clean.

Chang Xisheng couldn't help sighing, "Didn't I think that you, a son, would need to travel around?"

In his heart, he always thought that those sons and brothers didn't have to do anything, and they didn't have to eat by themselves, and someone fed them to their mouths.

Shen Baili said: "That's someone else's house. Our Shen family's rule is not to support useless people. Although my elder brother and second brother don't need to run a business, they both started to get in touch with business early. And they didn't work as stewards from the very beginning, but from the bottom of the small workers. Let’s start. My dad said that only the people at the bottom know what to do, and the people at the top will know how to arrange it.

My second brother is in charge of the village, and he has to go to the fields to plow the land. The sun is as black as charcoal. If you see him on the road, you will think it is some farmer.My eldest brother does not need to be exposed to the wind and the sun, but the work is not easy. Before, he had to carry goods.Their bodies are so strong that they seem to be able to break the waist of a little girl with one hand. Before, my mother was worried that they would not find a wife. "

In Liangguo, it is precisely said that the rich and powerful in the city regard thinness as beauty, including men.What is important is to be elegant and free from dust, and this kind of person who is not thin into a paper figure can't produce any effect at all.You have to have thin skin and tender flesh, fair skin, and a soft figure.Many men put on powder like women, making their faces ghastly white. When they come out at night, they can scare people to death, and they will be breathless after walking a few steps.

Shen Baili was tall and slender, and although his complexion was not fair, it was definitely not dark, but in the eyes of those people, he was already thick and black, not to mention his two black and strong brothers.

Wang Dali's eyes widened, he did not expect such a situation in the mansion.He is tall and strong, and he is also very strong, but he is well-respected in Taoyuan Village.Because it means being able to work, otherwise why there are so many strong men in the village, the Chang family chose him to come to the mansion together, maybe because of his stature and strength.I didn't expect that this is not the case at all in the mansion, and the men are also made to look like female dolls.

"Then if I'm in the mansion, wouldn't it be even more difficult for me to marry a wife?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "If you want to marry Miss Qianjin, you can't help it, but if you are ordinary people, you don't have to worry. That trick is played by the rich. They think that this is the only way to distinguish them from ordinary people. After all, ordinary people In order to make a living, one must have a strong body, where they can lie down all day and have food to eat, so it looks different."

Wang Dali scratched his head, completely unable to understand the relationship between the two, "I really don't understand the thoughts of the rich."

Chang Xile felt that the Shen family was very insightful, no wonder they had accumulated such a huge wealth in a short period of time.Shen Baili's father, Shen Shuo, also came from a poor background, and today he has made it all by himself.With this kind of teaching, Chang Xile concluded that the Shen family could at least prosper for a long time.

At least from Shen Baili, he can see the educational achievements.Shen Baili is enough to hold up a world no matter his character or behavior.

Shopkeeper Zhao sighed: "The rich people in the mansion were not like this before, and I don't know why it has become like this all these years."

Shen Baili shrugged disapprovingly, "Anyway, our Shen family is not the same as those people. Fortunately, we don't deal with these bad things when we do business, otherwise we will be choked to death by their powder. But thanks to They, our family's spices are so profitable."

Incense is very popular in the mansion, and there is also fighting incense every year, which is very lively at this time of year.The top perfumers are extremely sought after, and their status is extraordinary.

The most important business of the Shen family's caravan was spices, which transported rare spices from distant places and sold them at high prices.Although the journey is far away and even very dangerous, the profit in the delay is very high, and the supply has been in short supply.Although many people said they were not used to the Shen family's unconventional style, there were also many rare items that could only be obtained from the Shen family, and they could only interact with them with their eyes closed.

Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help frowning, "My lord, don't talk nonsense."

Shen Baili curled his lips, knowing that if these words were spread, there would be a storm, so he didn't say anything more.

Chang Xile asked curiously, "Douxiang? There is such an interesting competition."

"Not only do you have fighting incense, you can fight anything, such as dyeing cloth, brocade, food, etc., all kinds of things. This is an opportunity for unknown people to become famous in one fell swoop, and our Shen family is famous for it. Back then, my father ran a business. I got the rare spices, the taste is unique and the world has never seen before, so I won the championship back then, and opened my first business. But now it is not easy to make a name for yourself, all kinds of competitions are basically controlled by the big families , but there are surprises in everything.”

Chang Xile's eyes lit up, this is another chance for him!
