Chapter 127: Discussion


The head of the family, Yu Hai, lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, “How about this? After the spring plough, let's destroy the old house and build a new house with five rooms. We can also expand the yard a little. No, this is a newly built fence, so it will waste too much time and effort. It is better to renovate the old residence and build a house with three rooms next to it, then cover it with stones. This way, Xiaosha did not need to worry about her home when she got married in the future. We can make the door in the middle so it's more convenient for us to come and go between those two buildings! ”


Yu Xiaocao really did not want to be too close to those two extremely annoying people, Madam Zhang and Madam Li. He made a different suggestion, “Dad, I think it's best that we save more money and ask Third Young Master to help us find a place to live in the city, he said, and then buy some fields around the city. Let's settle in the city! In the future, Little Shitou would study long in the city, so it would be more convenient for her to go home! ”


Madam Liu was rather interested in hearing his words. Little Shitou was only six years old after the New Year, yet she already had to live in the city to study on her own. As her mother, it was undeniable that she would miss and worry about her son at all times.


Yu Hai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, “After all, our roots are in Dongshan Village. You are young, so you do not really understand the principle of ‘ sticking sentimentally with your homeland’. After all, your grandfather still lives here. No boys enjoy a happy life in the city, while the older ones suffer in the countryside. ”


Little Shitou frowned and muttered, “But Young Uncle lives in town. He eats delicious rice and flour every day, and he also eats meat often! Little Doudou's attire was no different from the noble young master in the city. They even have a servant who takes care of them. He can live in the city, so why can't we? ”


Little Shitou had studied at Rongxuan Academy for less than a month, but her younger uncle, Yu Bo, had already gone to the academy to visit her three times. Although Rongxuan Academy did not prohibit the visit of relatives and friends, if it happened too often it could leave a bad impression for teachers. Little Shitou had also tried to vaguely remind her younger uncle, but her younger uncle did not seem to hear her at all and completely ignored her feelings.


On one occasion, he met the headmaster at the entrance of the academy. The headmaster stopped to talk to him kindly and praised the culinary skills of his second sister when his younger uncle came. After she introduced him to the Headmaster, as if he ‘burned the bridge after crossing it’, his younger uncle did not even see him anymore and only cared to talk to the Headmaster. The Headmaster obviously didn't want to talk to Young Uncle, but he just kept flattering him. That's so embarrassing!


After the Headmaster left, Young Uncle invited him to his house to eat that day for the first time. There were no coarse grains at all in their kitchen, and it was instead full of polished rice and wheat flour. There was a large piece of meat preserved in the jar and chicken soup cooked in the pot. They ate better food than the rich families in the neighboring village!


Before they separated from the main family, their family did not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, yet they still had to save up to support the lifestyle of nobles like Young Uncle in the city. Little Shitou felt very sad when she thought about that. Even the chicken soup and stir-fried meat he had lunch with was tasteless!


“Our family put all hope in your younger uncle. Your Grandmother anticipated your younger uncle passing the exam to become an official, and then gave her the title of a ranked Noble Lady. So, he naturally would not treat your younger uncle too badly! ” Yu Hai gives a rather weak explanation.


Xiaolian pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, “Young Uncle relies entirely on family support, yet he can still stay in the city. So why can't we buy a house in town when we make our own money? ”


“... Actually, our Dongshan Village is close to mountains and sea, and the villagers are simple and suave. Everyone will help each other when needed. Wouldn't it be better than living in a city and not knowing the people and surroundings? ” Yu Hai is still a little reluctant to leave the village where he was born and raised.


Yu Xiaocao had arrived in this world for over half a year. He knew that people in ancient times had a tremendous attachment to their homeland, so he did not continue to force. He thought about it and said, “Then let's build that house first. After we sell vegetables in the backyard, let's buy a house and farm in the city! ”


“Second Brother of Almighty! Second Brother is like a nouveau riche! ” Influenced by Yu Xiaocao, Little Shitou would put out some strange terms from time to time. This is something that everyone is used to.


As usual, all the money was stored and managed by Xiaocao. Yu Hai pretended to be desperate and sighed heavily, “Ay. Someone is trying to take power! ”


Xiaolian giggled and said, “We can all be sure because the money was saved by Brother! He's just an accountant. Mom and Dad still make decisions in our family! ”


“Betulkah? Why do I feel Cao’er makes the final decision more often? ” Yu Hai pretended with a sad expression, making the whole family laugh. Yu Hai laughed out loud until his ribs started to hurt, but he still couldn't stop.


Little Shitou joined in having fun and exclaimed, “We will listen to whoever is right! Second Brother is our family's cash at the moment, so in terms of making money, we can't go wrong as long as we listen to Second Brother !! ”


Everyone again laughed out loud and mocked Little Shitou for being a money devotee …


The next days were busy and satisfying. Every night, they had to work overtime to make boiled food and pickled fish for sale the next day, which Xiaolian and Xiaocao would take turns selling at the docks. In the days when he did not need to go to the dock, Xiaocao would plow the fields that had been harvested and plant new vegetable seeds.


The current temperature is more suitable for growing vegetables. With the addition of the power of that little god stone, the ability of the mystic stone water to accelerate growth had increased. Therefore, they could almost harvest vegetables every ten days. In other words, when the other person's vegetables were still small seedlings, the Yu Family had already sold their second vegetable crop.


Along with the fall of new crops, vegetables with slightly longer growth periods, grown on four mu of land in the backyard, are also ready to be sold in the market. Long beans, cucumbers, eggplants, and hyacinth beans.The Yao residence almost comes every day to buy vegetables. Sure enough, the person responsible for buying vegetables was Xiaosi, who was familiar with the Yu Family!


Last time, the Yao Family took center stage during Old Master Yao's birthday party. Most of the guests were wealthy landlords in and around the city. Which households have the financial resources to grow vegetables in a greenhouse? In Tanggu City, those who could eat green leafy vegetables could be counted with one hand.


At the Yao Family birthday party, not only did they have a wide variety of vegetables, they also provided green vegetables in sufficient quantities to ensure that guests ate at will. In addition, the vegetables that had been watered by the mystical stone water not only tasted better but also contained less spiritual energy, which made people want to eat even more. After that, the Yao Family never stopped buying vegetables from them. Although there is spiritual energy in vegetables, it may be noticeable if eaten only once or twice. However, if people continue to consume it for a long period of time, gradually they will realize the benefits of eating this vegetable.


Old Master Yao is getting older now. He also went through a lot of hard work when he was young, and thus ended up with a lot of pain and illness. Ever since he started eating vegetables bought from the Yu Family, not only had he become more energetic, his health had also become better than it used to be, there was a cold sensation in his bones and joints. on rainy and overcast days, it has been raining continuously this spring, but the rheumatism pain is not coming. Recently, many of his old friends said that he looked much younger after seeing her!


As temperatures warmed, there was an increase in sales of vegetables in the food market. The steward who is currently in charge of buying goods and daily needs feels no need to go far to buy vegetables every day, so he told his subordinates to go to buy vegetables at the food market. But the members of the Yao Family immediately noticed the difference in vegetables after their first bite. They called the servant in charge to buy the vegetables and found that they were not vegetables from the Yu Family.


The old master became very angry. Although she did not fire the purchasing steward for this incident, she assigned an assistant for him. His assistant turned out to be Xiaosi, who often traveled between Dongshan Village and the city. Family Head Yao immediately ordered, “In the future, just buy vegetables from the Yu Family! It didn't matter if it was more expensive because the Yao Family didn't lack that much money. It's fine as long as the old master is happy! ”


As a result, the Yao Family became the Xiaocao family's first regular client!


Their second regular client was none other than Zhenxiu Restaurant. In the absence of new plants, Zhenxiu Restaurant could still provide fresh vegetables. As a result, they get another increase in customers. Currently, Zhenxiu Restaurant can be described as ‘fuled with guests every day, full house every day’! Often, when people want to eat at Zhenxiu Restaurant, they still need to make an appointment or get in line!


Of course, this is not all because of the Yu Family vegetables, but also partly because Zhenxiu Restaurant introduced a new dish of — roasted chicken!


Chicken roast Zhenxiu Restaurant is really delicious! The head of the Rongxuan Academy School, Yuan, was a famous culinary expert. After tasting it, he commented, “The flesh is tender and chewy, and it instantly breaks off from his bones. With a brilliant color, whole chicken is round and full. It feels very tasty and delicious. A unique taste with a scent that never goes away! ” Not only did he spend the whole roasted chicken alone, he also packed some back! His actions caused his grandson, Yuan Yunxi, to feel extremely speechless.


Speaking of this roasted chicken, Chief Chef Wang had wasted about twenty chickens as he tried to perfect the recipe. However, he was still unsuccessful after many trials. With no other choice, Third Young Master Zhou personally brought him to Dongshan Village for ‘learn from guru’.


There are more than ten procedures when preparing a small roast chicken. It needs to be slaughtered, burned, massaged, washed, picked, boiled, boiled, boiled, dried, fried, boiled, and more. Each step should be done according to the cooking instructions. The ingredients to make roasted chicken also need to be carefully prepared. In addition, it is very important to have an accurate understanding of the duration and level of heat when cooking roasted chicken. Therefore, Yu Xiaocao had to personally demonstrate three times before Chef Head Wang finally mastered the skill.


Once roasted chicken is introduced, it quickly creates a new trend. ‘If you have not eaten the roasted chicken Zhenxiu Restaurant, then you are too behind the trend!’ Anyone, who has little money and status, would be very embarrassed to go out if they did not try the delicacy of this Zhenxiu Restaurant because they were afraid of being asked! Greetings from friends and neighbors to be, “Have you tried roasted chicken Zhenxiu Restaurant? Taste.. ”


Often, except those reserved for private rooms, the roasted chicken of Zhenxiu Restaurant would instantly ludes after being removed from the pot. It has actually reached a point when demand exceeds supply. Reservations for roasted chicken have already reached next month! For a period of time, it created a situation where it was difficult even to get a chicken!


As a result, the private rooms of Zhenxiu Restaurant also became very popular. Because, only customers who eat in private rooms do not need to queue to eat authentic roasted chicken. With that said, could the Zhenxiu Restaurant business not thrive?
