Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

From overseas to Fuzhong, one must pass through Taoyuan Village Wharf, so before the news of Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun's return spread throughout Liangguo, Chang Xile knew they had returned safely.

When the two passed by, they didn't rush forward, but stopped at the pier of Taoyuan Village to refresh and visit Chang Xile by the way.The two of them didn't need anyone else to send a message, they just rode the horse in the Shen's inn and rushed to Taoyuan Village.

When Chang Xile saw the two of them, she froze on the spot. Shen Baili walked forward with a smile, and walked around in a circle, "Why, don't you know us? I haven't seen you for a few years, am I more handsome than before?" A lot?"

"You, the two of you are not dead!" Standing up from the chair, he walked up to them with a look of surprise and looked up and down.He patted their arms excitedly and was overjoyed in his heart.

The two disappeared for more than three years and nearly four years, and their temperament is very different from before.Shen Baili looked rougher than before, his skin was tanned, his body was stronger than before and his shoulders were much wider, but he was still as energetic as before.And Pei Qingyun's originally beautiful and fair face was darker and tougher than before, but the overall demeanor was gentler than before, not as bright and aggressive as before.

Shen Baili laughed loudly, "My fortune-telling since I was a child has always said that I am a hard-fated man. I can live to be at least a hundred years old. How could I die so easily? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you will enjoy it more and more. This house is well-built It’s really good, I saw it from a long distance, even if no one brought it here, I know this place must be your nest.”

Pei Qingyun also said at this time: "The entire Taoyuan Village has changed a lot. Most of the houses have turned into green bricks and green tiles. It seems that your life is getting better and better in the past few years. And the pier, we almost thought Looking in the wrong place."

Chang Xile just smiled, and anxiously wanted to ask them about their experience in the past few years, "Let's not talk about my side, where have you been in the past few years? I thought you were gone, and I was sad for a long time. Back then The Shen family inn has been built, and your second brother came, and tears came out when he mentioned you as a tough guy. Fortunately, fortunately, you are still alive, everyone in the family knows, right? You must be overjoyed."

"As soon as we returned to Liangguo, we ordered someone to deliver the news, and we should all know by now. So we can't stay longer today, and we have to leave when the ship is repaired."

Chang Xile led the two of them to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and Chang Yu made tea in the small kitchen in a tacit understanding and brought them some snacks.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun were not polite, and took it for granted.

Shen Baili said with a smile: "I never thought that I would be able to eat the tea and snacks made by Wu Juren as soon as I came back. It is not in vain for us to work so hard to come back."

Chang Yu didn't speak, but sat beside Chang Xile, poured tea for him, and waited on him attentively.

Although the two have always been close, Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun still saw something. They looked at each other, guessing a possibility.

Chang Xile naturally saw their doubts, and said very generously: "If you come back earlier, you can still have the wedding wine with me and Chang Yu."

"You two are married!"

Although they had already guessed something, the two couldn't help being amazed when they heard this.

Chang Xile grabbed Chang Yu's hand and said with a smile, "Yes, didn't you guess it just now?"

Shen Baili sighed and said, "I'll just say, I used to see you two getting along so well that you needed to wear a pair of pants, and I still envied your brotherhood in my heart, so it turns out that you have already had an affair."

Pei Qingyun, who was always venomous, turned around now, and he sincerely blessed: "Congratulations, you two. It is a great blessing in life to have a lover who finally gets married. It just so happens that we brought back some goodies, which can be used as a wedding gift for the two of you." .”

Chang Xi was happy to see that the topic was taken off course, so she quickly pulled it back, "Don't rush to talk about me, you should still talk about where you have been, what you have done in the past few years, and why you just came back now."

At this time, Chang Xile didn't know what the two of them brought back, and he wasn't in a hurry. As far as he was concerned, seeing them return safely was the happiest thing.I am also quite curious about what the two of them have experienced in the past few years. Seeing that they are well dressed, they look like they are living a good life.It can be seen from the demeanor of the two of them, and they feel that they must have experienced a lot of hardships, so their tempers have also changed.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun didn't hide anything, and told what happened in the past few years, but because of time constraints, they didn't go into details, but they also let Chang Xile know the general situation.

The two were also lucky at the time. Although the boat was broken apart by the tornado, the two survived and were blown to an island.The two of them didn't know where the strength came from at the time, they hugged each other tightly, and they didn't get blown away. At least they had a companion by their side, so they wouldn't be so dazed and helpless in a strange place.

Fortunately, the place they came to was not an uninhabited island, and the island was also inhabited.The people there looked different from them, and they had never seen anyone like them, so they were rejected at first.Later, seeing that they had no malicious intentions, they were gradually accepted.They were penniless at the time, and it was not easy for them to survive, and they could not afford to go home at all.

"We had never discovered that island before. When we first arrived there, we couldn't understand what they were talking about. Thanks to Qingyun's ability, we quickly learned their language. We had to talk to chickens and ducks for a long time, and we also had to talk to each other for a long time. It's hard to get their acceptance." Shen Baili sighed.

Pei Qingyun smiled and said nothing, appearing very quiet.

Although Chang Xile was not used to Pei Qingyun like this, she also felt much more comfortable than when she left before, and she didn't seem so lonely.It's just that probably because of his experience and growing older, he has become more stable.

Although the two were unlucky, they were lucky. They found other stranded ships, and many of the goods on them were still intact. Unfortunately, the people on board were gone.

The two of them used the goods above to do business with the local people, and then they got bigger and bigger, and only then did they have the capital to return.

Shen Baili proudly said: "You guys will go to the pier with us in a while, but you didn't bring over too many things. This time it was a bumper harvest, and it will definitely dazzle you. There are precious stones and spices everywhere, as if you don't need money .And they are most rare about our silk, porcelain and tea, and they just exchange what they have. If this business can continue in the future, it will be a great thing for our entire good country!"

Chang Xile was also very happy to hear that, "If this is the case, the court may lift the sea ban."

As long as it can bring huge benefits, he firmly believes that many people will be moved.

Although Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun had just returned to Liangguo, they were known by Shen Pei's family as soon as they entered Liangguo. It took several days to get here from Haikou, so they naturally understood some important things that happened in these years.Now they are very confident that the imperial court will be willing to lift the ban. As long as they see those things on the ship, they don't believe that anyone can bear it.

"I really found a few of the things you drew for me before, so let us go and have a look now."

Chang Xile was overjoyed, "Really? What did you find?!"

Shen Baili shook his head with a smile, and said to Pei Qingyun: "Look, I'm right, I knew this guy would be very excited when he heard this. He is obviously a scholar, but he is worse than a serious farmer." Pay attention to these."

Pei Qingyun smiled, and said to Chang Xile: "The ones you drew before all sank into the sea together. We have some impressions but the names don't match. The words there are different from ours here. I'm afraid you won't know if I tell you. What are they, you’d better go and see for yourself. Some of them are durable and taste good, and we rely on them as dry food along the way.”

Although Chang Xile was anxious to know what he had found, he was not in a hurry to go and see it now, "Let's go there together after we have a meal at home."

Shen Baili waved his hand, "Look at you in such a hurry, this meal is not delicious. Besides, I see that there are a lot of delicious food at the pier, so let's settle it there. Qingyun and I just came here to see what Taoyuan Village is all about. Well, I want to give you a surprise.”

Several people rushed to the pier together, Chang Xile saw what Shen Pei and his wife had brought back, and was so pleasantly surprised that she almost jumped up from the ground.Leaving aside those glistening gems and some weird things that made people want to be envious, Chang Xile couldn't help but kneel down to the two of them just because of the agricultural products.

Peppers, Corn, Sweet Potatoes, Grapes and more!These are the things he wanted the most, and they brought them all back in one go!

Shen Baili pointed to the dried chilies piled up on the ground and said: "This stuff tastes like dogwood, but it's more spicy. Look at this one, which looks like a lantern. Now it's dried and the color doesn't show. It's usually good. Several colors look pretty, but it’s called spicy, the first time I ate one without knowing it, it almost killed me.”

Chang Xile's eyes became hot when he saw so many chili peppers. Although the cornel tasted pretty good after being made by him, it was not as tasty as the chili peppers.When making some dishes, it is far less delicious than chili. There is a reason why cornel was eliminated in the seasoning industry in later generations.

He immediately decided: "You wait, I will cook a dish for you myself, and I will keep your eyes shining after eating it!"

The two of Shen Pei also agreed very bluntly. Even though Chang Xile is now a Juren, they haven't seen each other for several years, but they are still as casual as before.

What Chang Xile is going to cook is a very famous dish in later generations - boiled fish.

The most worrying thing about Taoyuan Village now is that there is no fish to eat. Taoyuan Village is now raising fish in the rice fields according to Chang Xile's previous guidance.At the beginning, everyone was a little worried that the rice would be eaten by the fish. Later, it was found that as long as the timing of frying is right, not only will this phenomenon not happen, but the rice will grow better.

The fish eat the worms of the rice, and the fish dung becomes the nourishment of the rice, forming a cycle.

Although the rice has been harvested now, some of the land will be reserved for fish farming. Now the fish in Taoyuan Village has become one of the important income of Taoyuan Village.

So now everyone raises fish in the fields, and they don't have to worry about fish at all.Moreover, the fish in Taoyuan Village are raised very well, and other villages do the same, but the fish is not as delicious as Taoyuan Village.Now Taoyuan village fish has also become a sign, and the mansion likes to buy it very much.

Everyone said that this was due to the good feng shui in Taoyuan Village, otherwise how could there be so many talents and their lives are getting better and better.Now who can marry a girl in Taoyuan Village, I don't know how many people envy her.

Normally, the fish in Taoyuan Village only needs to be boiled with some ginger to make it very delicious and tender. Now it will only taste better when it is boiled.

Both Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun squatted in the kitchen with great interest, watching what Chang Xile did.When I saw Chang Yu showing how to cut fish fillets, I couldn't help clapping and applauding.

This is not cooking, it's obviously like juggling.

Chang Yu cut the fish fillets evenly and at a very fast speed. Everyone saw pieces of fish fillets being cut into the bowl, like heavenly maids scattered flowers, but they were arranged on the plate.

But after a while, they stopped admiring every step so leisurely, because Chang Xile started to stir-fry the dried chilies, there is no range hood here, and although the kitchen design is reasonable, the smell can still make people faint.They finally understood why Chang Xile refused to let Chang Yu stay here just now, because they were afraid of choking his little lover.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun wanted to continue watching, but they couldn't bear the smell, so they rushed out of the kitchen coughing with their eyes closed.

Chang Yu was very distressed, and this was also the reason why he didn't like Chang Xile's daily cooking. As long as it was cooking, the smell of oily smoke would be relatively strong, and the smell was not always pleasant.So no matter how much he likes Chang Xile's craft, now he won't let him do it easily.

Although Chang Xile hadn't cooked boiled fish for a long time, even in his previous life, he rarely had the opportunity, it was because he was in poor health and couldn't eat spicy food.But this seems to be a deep-rooted talent. Except for being a little rusty at the beginning, it didn’t take long to find the feeling. A pot of oily and red boiled fish came out of the oven and has not been eaten yet. Seeing this appearance, I can’t help it Started to swallow.

When a fish fillet was put into their mouths, everyone couldn't help squinting their eyes.

Shen Baili sighed: "We have been wandering outside for so long, and this is what we miss the most. The food there is completely different from ours. Although some taste good, it's okay to taste it occasionally, but it always feels wrong to eat it often. But we can only eat but don’t cook, and we don’t know what’s going on, we just can’t make the taste of our side there, and we always feel that it’s a bit worse, I don’t know how many times I’ve been woken up from my dream!”

Pei Qingyun couldn't help but glared at him: "You don't know how many times you gnawed on my arm as a pig's trotter! In the middle of the night, you scared me so much."

Shen Baili laughed and said, "Isn't this a dream? I really miss Chang's snail and pig's trotters. Don't worry, we are back now, and it will never be like this again."

Without thinking, Chang Xile blurted out, "Are you two sleeping together outside?"

Shen Baili froze, and Pei Qingyun slowly bent the corners of his upturned mouth when he saw him.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Chang Xile suddenly understood something, and didn't know what to say, so she kept giving Chang Yu the bean sprouts, "Eat more vegetables, don't just eat meat."

Chang Yu frowned slightly, but ate obediently.He still does not like to eat anything other than meat. If he is very happy to ask, he will not take the initiative to touch food other than meat.

Only then did Shen Baili regain his senses, and put the braised pork on the side to Pei Qingyun, "You have a bad spleen and stomach, so you can't eat too much spicy food, you should eat this."

Pei Qingyun didn't say a word, and ate the white rice silently, but didn't touch the braised pork.

Shen Baili glanced at him, then looked at Chang Xile, "Can you come to the mansion later if you have time?"

"Is there a problem?"

Chang Xile wanted to wander around, but he was so seasick that he was always lazy and unable to get up.Although taking the medicine that Pei Qingyun gave him before made him feel much better, it still made him feel a sense of fear.

"After a while, Qingyun and I will get married, and I want to invite you to go together."

bang-

Pei Qingyun accidentally dropped the bowl and chopsticks on the ground and made a noise, but he ignored it, and looked at Shen Baili with wide eyes in disbelief.

Shen Baili smiled and said: "It's too late for you to regret it now, you can't go back on what you said at the beginning."

"You..." Pei Qingyun didn't know what to say, her whole body was trembling.

Although they are already husband and wife, and they have been together for quite some time, it is a special period after all.

The two of them depended on each other for life at that time, and they were alone in a foreign land surrounded by people who looked different from them. It was inevitable that they would feel lonely and wanted to depend on each other.So I can't hold it for a while, and it's normal to want to forget the loneliness and pain.Now that I am back, the feeling of loneliness and bewilderment is gone, and it may not be the same as before.

Pei Qingyun has always understood this truth, so she cherishes the days when the two of them are together, and even didn't want to come back for a while.It can be seen that Shen Baili's eyes look forward to and worry about his family members, so he can only suppress this thought.

Ever since he returned to Liangguo, he has been uneasy. He also wanted to ask Shen Baili what he thought, but he was always worried about hearing what he didn't want to hear, so he kept deceiving himself and didn't open his mouth.I was always worried that it was my own wishful thinking, after all, Shen Baili really regarded him as a brother at the beginning, without any charm.

Shen Baili hugged Pei Qingyun over and kissed the corner of his mouth, "I used to say that you look like a woman and you still say that my mouth is smelly. What is it like to be so cowardly? I am so irresponsible in your eyes Is it the one who casually does intimate things with other people? Seeing that you have been arguing for the past few days, where do you think you scolded me so hard before? You didn’t even say a word Dare you dare not ask?"

Pei Qingyun couldn't help crying anymore, and hugged Shen Baili tightly.

It wasn't that he was cowardly or that he was a bitch, but that he cared too much and became a coward.

Seeing this, Chang Xile was also happy for them, and also realized why Pei Qingyun looked so weird when the two got engaged before, it turned out to be like this.

"Congratulations, both of you, Xiao Miao and I will definitely be there by then, and I will give you a big gift at that time."

Shen Baili patted Pei Qingyun on the back, and said: "There is no need for a big gift, you just need to give me this boiled fish recipe."

Chang Xile glared at him angrily, "You really have no one with such a shrewd temper, and you will miss my prescription as soon as you come back!"

Shen Baili smiled and said: "This is Qingyun and I's engagement dish, of course we have to get a prescription, right, Qingyun. Come on, don't cry, my clothes are expensive. Besides, there are people here, You can just cry on my bed from now on, don't shed tears on weekdays..."

No matter how emotionally Pei Qingyun heard this, he couldn't help but give up, and punched Shen Baili unceremoniously, making Shen Baili scream in pain.The original embarrassing atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and it turned into a food grabbing meeting.

After the four of them wiped out the large pot of boiled fish, Shen Pei and the others left in a hurry.

It is not easy for the two of them to stay here for such a long time. This is also because the Shen family inn is here and needs to be repaired to have this free time. After all, they have disappeared for so long, and their family members are still anxiously waiting for them in the mansion.

The return of the two caused a huge sensation, and the sea ban was lifted not long after, and more and more ships passed the pier.The pier has also become more lively, and more and more merchants rent shops here, and the bamboo buildings used as shops have been continuously expanded.

It takes a lot of effort to go from the beginning to the end of the commercial street, and the things in the shops are rich and varied. It is not only a place for repairs, but also a holy place for shopping.

Not long after Shen and Pei came back, Song Wancheng, who participated in the scientific examination, also received good news. He had passed the palace examination and was admitted as a Jinshi, and he was still a Tanhua!

It is said that if the current No. [-] and No. [-] are not young and not good-looking, Song Wancheng should be No. [-].

In this way, the reputation of Taoyuan Village will be even greater, and the number one scholar has been in Taoyuan Village for five years!And when everyone inquired about it, they found that Taoyuan Village had two martial arts candidates and two literary candidates—the new master also passed the Juren examination this time, and a young man who had only studied for a few years was also admitted as a scholar .After hearing this, everyone believed that the feng shui of this place is really good!

It's just a small village, but there are so many people, and the things from Taoyuan Village have spread to many places. Everyone thinks this place is really auspicious, which makes the things from Taoyuan Village even more popular.

The things produced by Fudi are all blessed!

A few months after the two of Shen Pei came back, the wedding was finally booked, and the two of them sent someone to send invitations to invite Chang Xile and Chang Yu to go together.At this time, Song Wancheng also stabilized, and he was arranged to enter the Imperial Academy.Since he didn't have time to come back, he entrusted Chang Xile to help him ask a bodyguard to escort his family to Beijing.

Going to the capital must pass through the mansion, so it happened that several people went on the road together.

What is unexpected is that Father Chang, who doesn't want to step into the mansion again, will also enter the mansion with them, wanting to see Gao Yuan, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.Chang Xile didn't tell Father Chang about Gao Yuan before, he just mentioned it vaguely, but Father Chang seemed to understand something, and didn't express his position at that time, only sighed deeply.

Chang Xile thought that the two of them would never see each other again, but Chang Daddy finally figured out to go and see.
