butcher's cook

?? After calculations, I thought that the boat should not be abandoned. At least it took more than 1000 taels of silver to get it, right?

??They plan to transport people, help people transport goods from Fuyun County, and take Fucheng and Fuyun County along the way.It wasn't smooth at first, but gradually it got better.

??Bai Ning took the time to graft the grapefruit tree. The spores were taken from a grapefruit tree in Shangqingwan. The rootstocks were those small grapefruit seedlings from the previous year.

??Bai Ning doesn't know when the grapefruit seedlings will be grafted, and the height of a stiff neck will start grafting.He did it himself, and the survival rate can be said to be 100%.

??It doesn't matter that the grapefruit seedlings are grafted, all the fruit trees planted in the house have been grafted once, and then they will be born again with supernatural powers. It is not uncommon for them to bear fruit tomorrow.

??Tan Ming hired someone to repair the canal. The water in that spring should not be wasted.Although it is not considered a waste now, the water flowing down from the spring is also on the mountain.

?? But this can not make full use of the spring, or need diversion.

?? Just like Bai Ning's water diversion canal, basically the whole mountain can be irrigated. Although the top of the mountain cannot be irrigated, trees that do not need water so much can be transplanted.

?? By the way, a stream of water was brought to the yard at the foot of the mountain.

??After two months of grafting, when the grafted seedlings survive and grow new seedlings, they will all be transplanted up the mountain.

??Oranges, grapefruit, walnuts, peaches, pears, and apples, there are more than 400 pieces in total.

?? Fortunately, we have raised pigs, which are fat enough.I dug a hole before, and then transplanted, it must live well.

??Now the fruit trees are still small, and the fertilizer is not used much. When the fruit trees grow bigger, the benefits of raising pigs will be realized.It's not completely useless, his family has a lot of pigs, and they have enough fat. When they planted in spring, Uncle Tan and the others got the fat from Bai Ning and the others.

??Mistress Xu said she would dig banana trees for Bai Ning, but she didn't mean it in vain. Later, she asked Liu Laosan to bring them a cart. Bai Ning circled around the pigsty and around the house. Very good odor barrier.

??In March, the weather gradually warmed up, just in time for the first breeding pig to give birth to piglets.

??The whole family didn't know how to deliver the pigs, and they all waited anxiously outside the pigsty.

??Xiao Linzi is very courageous, and dares to go in and have a look.Bai Ning grabbed him and told him not to go over.

?? "Uncle Bai, I raised Huahua, I don't want to go out." Huahua is the first breeding pig bought from the Qin family, and has a few black spots on her body.

?? "Don't worry, your third uncle is looking for someone, and he will be back in a while, it's okay, you come out first."

?? Didn't wait until Tan Ming came back, the little pig came out, and Xiao Linzi cried out excitedly when he saw the first one, "Come out, Uncle Bai, it's peanuts."

?? Li Po heard the words, quickly took out the prepared old clothes, and immediately wiped the piglet clean, "Basket, bring the basket."

?? After more than half an hour passed, all the little pigs came out, twelve in total.

?? "Congratulations to my master. Congratulations to my master. This first birth has so many babies, and there may be more in the future."

?? After tidying up the pigsty and putting clean grass on the mat, everyone came out of the pigsty.

??The person Tan Ming invited came a little later. Hearing that the little pig was out, that person would not come in. "Tan Butcher, since the little pig is out, I won't go in either. I still have to remind you Once you hit it, the piglets come out. Don’t let others in. Otherwise, it’s easy to take the sows out of milk. You’d better put some rice washing water in a jar and put it behind the door of the pigsty, and don’t let people knock it over.... "

??Tan Ming listened carefully, wrote down everything, and then sent the person back.

??Although he didn't help, Bai Ning still sent a red envelope.From what he said, Bai Ning could tell that this person was quite honest, and he didn't need to tell them about the following issues, but this person didn't hide his secrets at all, he told them all about it The sows that have just given birth to piglets should be fed hot, not cold water, and weaned immediately, etc. It can be seen that they are warm-hearted people.

??People in the village heard that Bai Ning's breeding pig had given birth to piglets, and they all came to watch the fun.Hearing what the old pig farmer said, Tan Ming didn't let anyone in. Although everyone felt unhappy, they didn't dare to do anything, and they all went down the mountain one after another.

??The remaining three sows also gave birth to piglets one after another, but the remaining three did not have as many piglets as the first one. They were eight, three, and five respectively.

??Bai Ning regretted it. He really couldn't think of why they were all the same husband. How could there be so many first ones and so few others?

?? The piglets look different, and at the full moon, Tan Ming castrates them all, and divides them into pens.

??Except that one of the piglets had diarrhea and died at the beginning, the rest also survived. There were 27 piglets divided into four pigpens.

?? Taking advantage of the fact that the sow has no piglets, Tan Ming quickly built two walls between the breeding pig and the offspring to separate them.

??It is not good to feed breeding pigs and piglets together. I didn’t pay attention when repairing the pigsty before, but now it is not too difficult to repair.

??This busy, soon to May, the sky is completely hot, the fiery red sun shines on the ground, and people will feel a burning sensation when they step on it.

?? "It's a good time to bask in honeysuckle."

?? In such a big sun, it is estimated that one honeysuckle can be dried.

?? I was a little busy. I picked the honeysuckle and harvested the goji berries. This year the goji berries are particularly large, much more than last year.

??Last year, we only harvested more than [-] catties of goji berries. This year, it is estimated that we can harvest more than [-] catties.

?? After picking up the goji berries, Bai Ning counted the ripening time of the watermelon with his fingers.

??Watermelons will be planted earlier this year, and breeding will start at the end of the first month. However, the temperature in February is not very good, so the watermelon grows relatively slowly. To be precise, it is much slower. It is already May and a half. A watermelon is considered ripe.

?? I planted six acres of watermelons this year, and Bai Ning doesn't plan to sell them in restaurants.Last year, Bai Ning sent a lot of watermelons to others, so this year there are many people who grow watermelons. The family does not grow too much. They just grow in their own vegetable fields. How much can they grow in two or three parts of the land?

??Bai Ning started to breed, and the villagers also breed, but Bai Ning's watermelons are almost harvested, and the people in the village have just bloomed. At this time, the benefits of the supernatural ability are reflected.When Bai Ning bred, he repaired the genetic defects in the seeds. The original watermelon seeds were all cultivated in the company, and the first year's fruit was the best. It's okay for two years, but it will degenerate every year after that, and the last watermelon will only become the original species.

??But it's not too bad. At most, the fruit is not as big and sweet as it is now, and the disease resistance is not as good as this one.After all, this species is now a high-quality species after multiple genetic optimizations.

??There are more than six acres of watermelons, which are collected here, and Bai Ning has started breeding again.

?? This time I can't catch up with the planting. When I return to Xuancheng this time, Bai Ning plans to take the whole family with me. If this is the case, Granny Li will follow. Granny Li left, and Granny Li's granddaughter will also go with her.

?? They all left, leaving Xiaosi alone.Bai Ning asked him what he meant, Xiaosi naturally didn't want to be alone at home, and wanted to go with him.

?? Simply, all gone.

?? Bai Ning entrusted the Qin family to transplant watermelons.

?? The Qin family's melon seedlings were bred by Bai Ning. Bai Ning bred them well, and the Qin family took them back and planted them directly.She wanted to build a new house, and saw that Bai Ning had sold a lot of silver last year, so she set aside two acres of land to grow watermelons. To the sun, but also almost ripe.

??She also saw the seedlings raised by the villagers themselves. They didn't grow as good as hers, and they didn't bloom as fast as them. Even now, they are only fruiting, and they are as big as bowls.Therefore, now it is only their family, Bai Ning's, whose watermelons are ripe the earliest, and Bai Ning sells the melons in the city, so they must be the only ones here.

?? It will definitely sell for a good price.

??Now Bai Ning tells her to do what she does.

??Going to Xuancheng, I must tell Miss Xu.

?? Miss Xu didn't ask any more questions, but only told Bai Ning and the others to be careful on the road.Miss Xu also thought simply, Bai Ning's father's family is in Xuancheng, there must be some distant relatives, it's better to go back and have a look.

??The [-]-ton ship must not only be loaded with watermelons. They also helped people transport some fabrics along the way. It is a small business and the freight is not expensive.

??Fuyun County is in Quzhou, to Xuancheng, there are two prefectural cities in the middle, the scenery along the way is very good, except for Xiao Tuantuan who was a little uncomfortable on the boat for the first time, the others are well received.

?? Zhang Xiucai found out a fishing rod in a very artistic way, hung some dried meat on it, and started fishing.

?? To be precise, the sailors on the ship are not called sailors, but boatmen.To put it plainly, there is nothing to paddle, but there is something to be a tracker.

?? Fortunately, in Fuyun County, their water flow is not urgent, and the cargo on the boat is simply not enough for them to become trackers.But when they followed the boat, they reached a place where the current was relatively fast, and those boatmen turned into trackers, pulling the rope and pulling the boat forward on both sides.This kind of special danger, if you don't pay attention, you will be beaten into the river. Minor injuries are okay, but you are afraid of serious injuries.Bai Ning has secretly rescued him twice.

??This is the first time for Bai Ning to see such a scene. He was a little shocked. He felt that the wages of the boatmen were high, usually one or two and a half months.

??The boatmen on the boat belonged to the Xu family, and the Xu family traveled from south to north to do business. These boatmen were also familiar with the various terrains of the canal, and the journey was safe and secure.

?? That's it, it took ten days to arrive in the capital.

??Bai Ning checked his watermelon immediately.

??Except for a few long mature ones with a little crack, there is nothing wrong with the others.

??The cracked ones were shared by everyone, and Bai Ning was ready to disembark.

"Boss, does this ship need to find a ferry to stop?" The boss of the ship came in handy at this time, "If we want to berth, we can go to Li's side, their berthing port is cheap, only two taels a day Money. Their family also has a small yard for rent, if the owner wants to live, they can rent a separate small yard, and the yard has everything.”

?? As soon as he finished the introduction, he realized it himself. According to the owner, he was going back to his natal family, so how could he still rent a small courtyard.

??Bai Ning was speechless when he heard the price. Fuyun only costs 500 renminbi a day, and it costs two taels of silver here. It is indeed the capital city!But he didn't accept the boat boss's proposal to rent a small courtyard. If you come to Xuancheng, you must have a stroll in the city. What do you mean by living outside the city?

"Let's stop at Li's Ferry first."

??Bai Ning did some calculations. They would need at least a few days to do business and play. "Ten days first."

??The pier is outside Xuancheng, and there is still a distance to enter the city.

??There are a lot of them, eight people and three children. They went to the city and paid the entry fee, and they entered the city smoothly.

??Xuancheng is much more lively than Fuyun, and the flow of people is also much more lively than Xuancheng, and life is not bad, as can be seen from the clothes and mental outlook of the passers-by.

??Bai Ning and the others belonged to such a group, and they quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Brother, look." Opposite the teahouse, a middle-aged man saw Bai Ning's face, showing a look of panic.

?? "What's the matter?" A person who looked a bit like him turned his head, but found nothing.

?? "I seem to have seen that little bastard." The middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.

"Which one? I said it all, second child, you have to calm down, you are already old, and you can't hold your breath for a junior."

"The one from the Bai family."

?? Having said that, his brother remembered, "Impossible, at that time..." They saw the two little bastards fall into the cliff with their own eyes, and they were shot by two arrows.

"Second brother, did you read wrongly? There have been a lot of things going on recently. You must be confused. That person has been gone for two or three years." His brother advised him, "There are so many similar people in the world, maybe It just looks alike."

"Besides, so what if he comes back? My brother-in-law has expelled him from the Bai family. Even if he comes back, he won't be able to enter the Bai family."

??Bai Ning didn't notice that someone was discussing him here. They were followed by someone as soon as they entered the city gate. To be precise, they were watched by the clerk of the inn.

?? "Master, are you going to be top-notch or have a meal? Our Laifu Inn is the best inn around here. It is clean and cheap. The chefs in the inn are also well-known, and the dishes they cook are also delicious. .”

??Bai Ning stopped, Laifu Inn?This name is indeed familiar. It used to be so prosperous in TV dramas. It is one of the most famous inns!

?? Seeing Bai Ning stop, the boy's eyes lit up, thinking that he was interested in food, and he started talking, "Chef Xi, have you heard? His master, he used to cook there Pass the imperial chef." The young man bowed in the direction of the palace, "I have won the authenticity of Chef Huang, the old man, and the roast duck he made is really unique."

??Bai Ning's curiosity is now completely aroused. Why did the apprentice of the imperial chef get mixed up in the inn to be a chef? No matter how bad his skills are, there are restaurants that invite him to go!Also, he hasn't eaten that roast duck for a long time, so he doesn't know if the taste here is authentic.

Putting it down, Bai Ning looked at Tan Ming, "Why don't we try it in the forest?"

??Tan Ming himself is quite nervous. His current composure is all due to the courage given to him by Bai Ning, so he dared not speak up. "You decide."

?? "Then this one." They didn't have much luggage on them, that is, Xiao Si and Tan Ming had a little on them, and the rest of them were empty-handed, and their luggage was still on the boat.

??Bai Ning thought that the business of the inn was not good, but the business was not bad.

?? It was meal time at this time. There were about a dozen square tables and a few round tables in the hall, and more than half of them were already seated.

?? "Several people sit in the private room and return to the hall. The hall is full of people, but the private room is less quiet."

?? "This is the hall."

??The shop waiter came over with the menu, and then came over with the teapot to pour water for them, "You guys have worked hard all the way, let's drink some tea."

??This inn is very interesting. There is a picture on their menu, and the price is also marked below. The price is more than double that of Fuyun. It can be said clearly.

"Here's a roast duck, a fungus, and a squirrel mandarin fish. Zhang Xiucai, what would you like to eat? Order it yourself." Bai Ning ordered a few of his favorites, and then handed out the menu.

?? Zhang Xiucai waved his hand, "The guest is up to the host, and the host's husband is the host."

??Bai Ning looked at the other people on the table, and they also meant the same thing, let Bai Ning come.

??He ordered a few more big dishes, and then asked the back kitchen to serve a bowl of rice porridge, which was Xiao Tuan Tuan's lunch.

??Bai Ning ordered several steamed and mixed vegetables. These dishes were served first. Bai Ning had no idea. His highlight was the roast duck.

??The roast duck is served very carefully. A large white porcelain plate is presented, which occupies almost half of the table. There are several grids on it. There are sliced ​​duck meat, sauce, sugar, and shredded green onion. , cucumber shreds, lotus leaf cake.

?? "The chef with the duck skeleton made salt and pepper duck skeleton, you have to wait for a while." The little guy explained where the duck skeleton went, and then told Bai Ning and the others about the roast duck, "The duck skin is crispy and can be dipped in." Eat it with sugar, it tastes good. This is shredded green onion..."

??Bai Ning himself knows how to eat this roast duck, but others don't. Hearing such a strange way to eat it, he still has to use his hands.

?? But this roast duck tastes really good. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce is also delicious. With the refreshing cucumber, it is not greasy at all.

??Bai Ning nodded, this roast duck is worthy of its price, a roast duck costs 399 renminbi, if it weren't for the fact that there is no modern style in this shop, he would have suspected that some fellow came here.After all, if you look at the prices, what are squirrel mandarin fish 199, mixed fungus 29, braised pork 99, fried vegetables 19, white water chicken 199... bring 9 for everything.

??Bai Ning rolled one for Xiaobao, "Is Xiaobao delicious?"

"It's delicious, I want more, Daddy."

?? Bai Ning rolled another one for him, and next time, Bai Ning let him do it directly.

?? After a meal, Bai Ning and the others simply stayed here.There is also a courtyard behind this inn, which is divided into several small courtyards, and Bai Ning directly rented one.

?? A small courtyard is a small courtyard. There are not many rooms, only five, but there is a hut, and the maintenance is considered vigorous.But the price is also pretty good, five taels of silver a day.But the price is high, and the inn provides bath water and breakfast.

?? After some cleaning, there is no such condition on the boat. I took a bath and hair comfortably.Tan Ming wiped Bai Ning's hair and asked, "When are you going to meet your father-in-law?"

??Bai Ning don't panic, Mr. Bai is not familiar with the original owner at all, but from his memory, he is a confused person.Doting on concubines and destroying wives, and emphasizing interests and good reputation.

?? For a person like him, Bai Ning went against his will and eloped out of the house, and now he is married and has a child outside.Now that he brought a large family to the door, it would be strange for him to meet.

??But he didn't come here to call Mr. Bai, he just came back to send those who deserved to go to hell.

??The aunt that Master Bai dotes on is surnamed Chen, and everyone is called Aunt Chen.Her natal family is a merchant, and her brothers are also merchants. Logically speaking, literati like Mr. Bai look down on women who are merchants, but Aunt Chen is beautiful, and Mrs. Chen once sponsored him.I met Lord Bai when I was in the boudoir, and Lord Bai even fell in love with her at first sight, but at that time, Aunt Chen still didn't like Lord Bai.Later, Master Bai worked hard to become the second place in the high school rankings, and someone also made a matchmaker for him, and she was still a lady from the official family.Which one is more important, Mr. Bai clearly distinguishes it.

??So, turning around, Master Bai got married.

?? With the help of the Yue family, Mr. Bai was promoted to a level in two years!After only six years in the officialdom, he became a doctor in the household department, from the sixth grade official.

?? Master Bai was less than thirty, and he sat on the fifth rank, and he was a little bit drifting.

?? Recalling the white moonlight cinnabar mole, the former Ms. Chen.

?? Looking back, I found out that Ms. Chen is not married yet. I heard that she was engaged before, but her fiancé got married before she waited to get married.Recalling Miss Chen's beautiful appearance, Mrs. Bai had some ideas, so there was Aunt Chen.

?? Bai Ning reckoned, if it wasn't for the wife of the main house who already had a son and a daughter, and her natal family was able to live on, she still wouldn't know what kind of arrogance this Aunt Chen would have become?

?? But when Yuan was in the mansion, he heard that the biggest backer of the mistress's family had retreated, so Master Bai was also in a state of no one in court.

?? That's why the original body came out like this.

??Bai Ning wanted revenge, but he didn't intend to do it himself.The Chen family was arrogant because they had their backs against Aunt Chen.So I have always been a little arrogant, I dare not cause trouble for big things, but I do have small things.

??Bai Ning intends to do something here.

??But Bai Ning didn't expect that the opportunity would be presented to him before he made a move.

??The main reason is that when Chen Er went back and thought about it repeatedly, he felt that the person he saw this year looked very much like that little bastard in the White House, so he came to check it out in person these two days.

?? It's impossible for Bai Ning to stay only in this small courtyard, but there are so many of them, it's impossible to go together, so they left separately and started to wander around Xuancheng.

??The first thing Bai Ning inspected was the major restaurants.The restaurants in the capital city are much more prosperous than those in Fuyun County, and the architectural style is also different, which looks more atmospheric and upscale.

??Bai Ning took Tan Ming to eat once. The taste is really delicious, and the price is really expensive.

??Go once, Tan Ming will not go, the reason is simple.There are many nobles in the capital, and many young masters will bring two servants with them when they go out.Bai Ning looks good, and he looks neither humble nor overbearing, but Tan Ming doesn't have that concentration. He looks good, but his temperament is not good enough. He has a little inferiority complex.

??Then, Bai Ning said he would not go.

?? If he doesn't go, Bai Ning has no interest in being alone, so he thinks about watermelon.

??The capital city has started to heat up at this time. At noon, the sun is also very hot. Selling watermelons should be easy to sell.

??Bai Ning found a few better teahouses and restaurants, and sold the batch of watermelons separately.As expected of the capital, it can be seen from the prices.

??When he was in Fuyun County, watermelons cost 300 to 400 yuan a piece, and they were sold to Mr. Lin for 500 yuan, which he thought was very expensive.When he arrived in Beijing, the final transaction price was [-] Wen, and he even sold the last batch for [-] Wen.

??Bai Ning never thought that watermelons could be sold so expensively. He thought that two hundred would be about the same.

??This time he brought over a thousand of them, and the watermelons alone sold for more than 600 taels of silver.

??Tan Mingliang looked at Bai Ning with admiration in his eyes, "Brother Ning, why don't we grow watermelons next year and sell them next year, and don't grow fruit trees in the mountains. See how popular watermelons are here. Selling it twice a year makes more money than opening a restaurant."

?? Bai Ning gave him a funny look, "This is already this year. If you are smart, someone will grow watermelons in Xuancheng next year. Just like in our village, look, there are watermelons growing everywhere?"

"That's right." Hearing what the little brother said, Tan Ming dismissed the idea, "Forget it then."

?? "Let's go, let's go out to eat, and find Granny Li and the others by the way. I don't know where Granny Li went to play today?"

?? "They went to Puhua Temple. Zhang Xiucai showed them the way. I heard that the lottery from Puhua Temple is very effective. Grandma Li told you this morning, asking if you want to go?"

??Bai Ning remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and he just nodded, "Is it far away? Let's go if it's not far away."

?? "I heard that I have to go for an hour or two, and I won't be able to come back today."

??The thing of worshiping the Buddha is not just for worshiping the Buddha. You still have to offer incense, listen to the scriptures, and then eat a vegetarian meal. If you have conditions, you will be given some sesame oil money. Three children, it is estimated that they will not come back.

??"forget about it."

??The past few days were not in vain. He had inquired about the Baifu and the Chen family.The past three years have not happened without incident. The fifth young master of the Bai family broke his leg during the autumn outing the year before last, and the future of the contemporary scholar with a limitless future was cut short.The fifth young master is the second son of Mrs. Bai, and is only three years older than the original owner. This young master is a good reader, and he can raise people at a young age. He originally planned to take part in the palace examination next year. Only the [-]th Juren master cut off his future.

?? Bai Ning felt sorry for himself. These five young masters are not bad. When the original owner was in the yard, Aunt Chen's two children had bullied the original owner, but when they met Mrs. Bai's three children, they were usually ignored. .It's okay to ignore, at least you won't get hit.

??Bai Ning secretly went to a big house, determined the direction, and went to the main house.

?? Bai Ning's purpose is also simple, like this kind of businessman!Even if he dared to send someone to kill him, he must have dared to do something illegal behind his back. Bai Ning was looking for evidence.

??He can kill people directly, but what's so cool about it? It's better to hand over the evidence and let everyone know their crimes. Isn't that better?

??The Chen family's house can only be counted as three entrances. It is not too big in this capital, and it is easy to find.

?? At this time, Xu time has passed, and before Hai time, a curfew has been imposed in the city, and every household has closed their doors to sleep.

??The same was true for the Chen Mansion. He secretly went up to the roof, only to find that there was still a light on in one place.Bai Ning was intuitively curious, this place is not popular, the location is also very strange, very remote, and the outside environment is very elegant, with pines and bamboos planted there.

??Seeing Songzhu, Bai Ning understood, this was achieved without any effort!

??The ancients valued text, so elegant!

??Whether there are scholars in the family or not, they all love to build a study room, especially for wealthy families.

??Bai Ning is curious, why is it so late, and there are still people here?

??He approached the study quietly, and the voices of two men talking came from inside.He was not too close to the study room, his five senses were several times higher than ordinary people's, even if they were talking cautiously in the study room, Bai Ning could hear them clearly from outside.

?? After listening for a long time, the content inside is also very single.It seems that they are going to deal with someone. It seems that the two brothers asked someone to do something before and gave them money to send them away. Now the man came back to look for the two brothers and asked them for benefits. The two brothers didn't seem to intend to keep this handle, and planned to find an opportunity to get rid of that person.

?? Hearing the end, Bai Ning also found that the two brothers mentioned him.It seems that he has already been expelled from the Bai family by Mr. Bai, even if he comes back alive, relying on his sister's ability, Liu Laosan is irrelevant.However, just in case, the two brothers were going to find a chance to get rid of him.

?? Bai Ning listened to how the two brothers in the room tried to trick him to death without frowning.I thought to myself that I haven't looked for you yet, but you have made up your mind first. If he doesn't report back, I'm really sorry for your calculations.

??Bai Ning originally wanted to beat up the two brothers first to vent his anger, but before he did it, he thought of what the two brothers said before, to get rid of a certain handle, and he suddenly became interested.

??He came a little late, and didn't hear the previous content.So he was very curious, what did the two brothers do before?To be so threatened by that person.
