How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 65: Ingenious and virtuous?
Chen Qiliang is very good at reading people's faces.

Seeing that the sun had set, Yu Wenwen, a fair and tender scholar with a tired look on his face, welcomed them into his house and asked his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, to boil hot water for them and help them catch the wind and wash away the dust.

Then, he personally brewed a bowl of fragrant tea for them.

Yu Wenshu saw that he was using the poorest tea foam to make tea. The tea bowl he handed over seemed to have been used for hundreds of years. The glaze color of the porcelain was not bright, and there were some cracks visible to the naked eye at the mouth of the bowl.He immediately realized that the tea bowl must have been shattered into pieces before, and was later baked by the tinker.

As someone who had read a book, Yu Sucen didn't show any disgust at all, even if he disliked Chen Qiliang and the others because their fingernails were black and full of dirt.

After taking the cup of tea from Chen Qiliang, he gave it a small sip.

After briefly moistening his throat, he took out an account book and a small abacus and began to calculate the accounts for Chen Qiliang.

Chen Qiliang saw that he was making a lot of calculations, and he seemed to be someone who knew how to calculate carefully and was not fooled. He could only subconsciously continue to suffer miserably and cry that the villagers in Chenjia Village were pitiful.

Yu Sucen saw that Chen Qiliang was an old man, and when he talked about his life, he burst into tears. He also saw that his whole family had no shoes to wear... Later, after a whole table of dishes was served to them, this The table was full of bowls of things that looked like pickles, and he felt really unhappy.

Zhao Yamen has been observing Yu Su Cen's face.

Noticing the displeasure on his face, he immediately lost his temper at Chen Qiliang.

"I said, Lao Chen, it's enough for you to prepare a table like this while I'm here. Now that Sir Yu is here, it's a little inappropriate for you to prepare a table like this!"

"Master Yu, we finally came here in person. If you don't cook a few big dishes, who are you looking down on?!"

When Chen Qiliang saw that Zhao Yamen was deliberately making things difficult, he cursed in his heart that he was worse than a pig or a dog.

Knowing that there was no benefit in offending Yu Wenshu, he had no choice but to ask Mr. Zhou to take out his eldest son's money from working as a waiter in a hotel in the county and let his younger son go find Chen Feiyan's family.

Doesn’t Chen Feiyan raise a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs at home?
It is also good to go to them to buy the cheapest chicken, duck or goose.

"Sir, the dishes on this table are indeed not suitable for the table. However, they are all appetizers. The hard vegetables are stewed at the back. When the dishes are cooked later, I will ask my daughters-in-law to serve them."

Yu Su Cen's eyebrows moved when he heard that he had several daughters-in-law.Immediately he pretended to be casual and spoke.

"I don't know how good your cooking skills are."

After hearing this, Chen Qiliang seemed to be extremely confident and patted his chest in assurance.

"Sir, the seven or eight bowls of pickles on this table were all made by Chen Yixuan and his daughter-in-law. They were sent to the big restaurant in the county, and the chefs agreed. If you don't believe me, would you like to try them?"

Knowing that the sour side dishes in front of him were made by that woman, Yu Su Cen's mind was immediately shaken. He stretched out a pair of chopsticks that had been blanched in boiling water and handed them over by Chen Qiliang. I got a small piece of pickled cucumber.

As soon as the pickled cucumber entered his mouth, Yu Su Cen's mouth drooled.

fragrant!acid!There is also a vague sense of joy.

After eating the pickled cucumber, Yu Sucen tried a small yellow radish slice.

The spicy and sour taste also makes people have endless aftertaste.

While Su Cen was slowly tasting it, Zhao Yamen, who was sitting next to him, was also eating pickled cucumber strips.

"Old Chen, these pickled cucumbers are really good! I didn't expect that the women in your village have such good craftsmanship!"

After hearing this, Chen Qiliang said with a smile: "Isn't that right?! Shuanzi's wife is so good at her craftsmanship, we didn't know it before..."

"Shuanzi's wife? Who is she?" Yu Sucen on the side frowned after hearing this.

Chen Qiliang quickly explained: "It's the man and his wife who passed by our house before. It's the Chen Yixuan I just mentioned. His nickname is Shuanzi."

Hearing this, Yu Sucen quickly hummed.Then, continue eating pickles.

When Zhao Yamen on the side saw him like this, he immediately looked at Chen Qiliang and asked, "It would be great if my wife could follow Shuanzi's wife and learn the art of making pickles..." Chen Qiliang heard this. , and immediately laughed.

"Hey, if you want to learn this craft, isn't it easy? I can teach you myself now!"

"Shuanzi's daughter-in-law taught a lot of people in her yard some time ago. None of them are as dexterous as her. Although they all use the same method, the pickled vegetables made by others are just a little less interesting."

Before he could finish his words, his youngest son Chen Zhengsi came back with a basket of things.

Seeing his father and several noble people from the city sitting at the dining table in the courtyard, he hurried over.

I took out a few pickled salted eggs, a preserved egg, and two hard-boiled goose eggs from the basket.

In addition, Chen Feiyan still ate the remaining half of a plate of crispy-bone fried chicken that was oily and smooth today.

Chen Qiliang, who was on the side, saw that the five chicken, duck and goose eggs were just lying there, which didn't look like anything serious. He quickly asked his wife Zhou to cut them up with a knife and arrange them into a flower plate.

An extra plate of oily fried chicken was placed on the dinner table, and a large plate of various salted eggs, pickled eggs and boiled eggs cut into twenty pieces was placed on the table.The faces of Zhao Yamen, Wu Yamen, and Yu Su Cen all looked much better.

At the dinner table, the person with the highest status can use the chopsticks first.

Yu Su Cen didn't move his chopsticks, so naturally the others wouldn't.

Yu Sucen asked curiously: "It's greasy, like chicken, right?"

Chen Zhengsi's mouth watered as he smelled the fragrant crispy fried chicken.After swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, he quickly nodded and responded: "Yes, yes. This is crispy fried chicken cooked and made by Shuanzi's wife herself."

Of course, he didn't dare to tell them that this small, palm-sized plate was for bibimbap tonight.

After hearing this, Chen Qiliang cheered: "This is called Crispy Bone Fried Chicken? It's not bad, it's really delicious!"

After saying that, he greeted Yu Sucen warmly and said, "Sir, you'd better eat this fried chicken while it's hot! It tastes best when it's hot!"

Yu Sucen originally wanted to try Chen Feiyan's skills. When he heard this, he nodded and said yes.

Putting a small piece of chicken with chopsticks into his mouth, he immediately felt that the fried chicken was tender, crispy and delicious.

"Not bad, really good!"

After hearing his affirmation, Zhao Yamen took a tentative chopstick.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's indeed good! I didn't expect that in such a remote and remote place, there would be such a clever and capable woman. A woman like this who can cook must be very virtuous, right? Right, Lao Chen?"

Chen Qiliang listened and nodded.

"Our village women in Chenjia Village are all so ingenious, capable, down-to-earth and virtuous. The girls in our village never worry about getting married. Many girls just rely on their own abilities to marry and enjoy happiness in the city. …”

After hearing this, Yamen Zhao curled his lips in disdain.

He knows everything about Chenjia Village.

What does it mean that many girls marry into the city and enjoy happiness?I think he is a foreigner, but I don’t know the inside story?
People in their place favor boys over girls.

Regardless of whether the family was rich or poor, they all wanted to have their feet bound and send them to the homes of rich and powerful people.

Even if they were allowed to go to those places to work as slaves and maids, their fathers would be extremely happy.I feel that my daughter has a future.
