Chapter 35 Selling land brings wealth
  Zheng Qiushuang and Chen Nier are simply two extreme contrasts.

One can't wait to move all her husband's things to her parents' house.

One can't wait to bring all the things from her parents' house back to her family of three.

"A few eggs in exchange for half a pound of meat from your mother-in-law? That's your fault." The original owner would have to praise his daughter-in-law for this.

But in Ke Muqing's case, that really doesn't work.

"Your boy has been eating and drinking at your mother's house for several days. When you sent him there, he went empty-handed. When you picked him up, you brought a few eggs and half a catty of meat. Your two sisters-in-law haven't done anything in these years. They blocked you outside your parents' home because they are so generous."

"I used to be confused and praised you, but now I'm sober. If a person always wants to take advantage, he will only be annoying. No one wants to get close to or associate with such a person."

"Even between relatives, there must be proper etiquette. You can't take advantage of other people's face and feel embarrassed to speak. You just behave like this. You have to change your mind in the future."

Ke Muqing said, "If you don't believe me, ask Jiye and Jimin, are they more popular than before when they follow me around these days? Are they able to get a smile when meeting people when they go out? Are they liked by others? Is your mood much better than when you were annoying others?"

Yang Jimin was happy when he heard this.

"My mother is right about this." Yang Jimin nodded, "Yesterday when I had dinner in a restaurant, my brothers hugged me and talked. This morning I went to the cowshed to feed the cows, and I met someone on the way. , everyone would say hello to me and smile at me, not to mention, I was really happy in my heart."

Looking at the two big boys who were smiling like idiots, Ke Muqing looked away indifferently.

Gee tut.

Yang Shuangshuang and Ke Xiuyu jumped in.

"Grandma, my little aunt and I went to order a wooden box. Uncle Gen took the deposit and said it would only take three days to make it for us. Xiudama and I also picked out nice-looking locks. We picked different ones. , so that Xiudama and I won’t get the wrong ones.”

Yang Shuangshuang jumped into the kitchen and asked again, "Grandma, do we still have sweet water eggs in the morning?"

"Drink!" Ke Muqing said, "Grandma keeps her word, one person per day. We all need to take good care of ourselves. It's a long journey south, so we need to be in good health to be able to hold on."

"Mom, we don't have enough eggs at home." Chen Nier rubbed her hands and came over, "One is missing."

"You're not greedy, and you don't want to eat. Isn't this just right? What's wrong?" Ke Muqing snarled, and then said to Zheng Qiu Shuang, "I'll go to my house later to get some copper coins, and ask who sells eggs. If so, If you have it, buy some more and bring them back.”

Ke Muqing was determined to cure Chen Nier, so in the morning Chen Nier was really alone watching the whole family drinking sweet water eggs. After finishing the meal, Chen Nier was so aggrieved that her eyes were red.

Mr. Zhang’s wife and sister arrived not too early. A beautifully decorated carriage came rattling with bells hanging on the frame. I don’t know how the bells were made. They were exquisite and beautiful, and the sound was crisp and clear. People find it noisy.

The carriage stopped, and the first person to get out of the carriage was a maid dressed more neatly than any other lady.

She is in her twenties, with her hair pulled up and two silver hairpins in her hair. She looks more elegant than Ke Hongxiu, a lady from the Lou family.

"Madam, the Yang family is here, the floor is dirty, please slow down."

When Mrs. Lin heard what her maid said, she simply didn't get off the carriage. She sat on the carriage and spoke to Ke Muqing who was standing outside.

"Just take us to your field and have a look."

Okay, no matter what, you can't live with money. Ke Muqing agreed and asked the few people who came out to watch the fun to go back.

Mrs. Lin was sitting on the carriage, and Ke Muqing followed her maidservant walking beside the carriage.

On the other hand, there were farmers like Ke Muqing who looked down on them and were stingy with even greetings.

Ke Muqing, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, had no flattery to flatter, and was happy to be quiet.

After walking for two quarters of an hour, we arrived at several acres of land.

Ke Muqing stopped and said, "This eight acres of land belongs to my family. Crops are the life of our farmers. We take care of the crops more carefully than we take care of ourselves. Mrs. Lin doesn't have to worry about our sloppy farming."

"When I planted the land at home, I didn't think about selling it. My father suddenly wanted to take his children south to study. I also wanted my children to learn more from their grandfather, so I made a hasty decision to sell the land."

Speaking of this, Ke Muching paused and said, "It's true that Mr. Zhang was very kind to my family yesterday. The women of the country are very grateful to Mr. Zhang. Otherwise, if not for the grain that is about to be harvested from one acre of land, except for me, where can we get thirteen Can you buy an acre of such good farmland for two?"

Ke Muqing's words made Mrs. Lin very angry, but she couldn't find any fault.

"My Lin family is not short of money either. I just spent forty taels to buy a recipe yesterday. It's just to give people like you a chance to repay my brother-in-law." Mrs. Lin said, "My Lin family is going to Fucheng soon. A restaurant is certainly not short of money."

Ke Mu wanted to cover up the situation, but Ke Mu was smiling and doing things in a perfunctory manner.

However, Ke Muqing's eyes widened when he heard Mrs. Lin say that she spent forty taels to buy a recipe.

It seems that I have found a way to make money!
  "Are you going to open a restaurant in Fucheng? The Lin family's business is really big!" Ke Muqing changed his attitude and complimented Mrs. Lin several times. After making Mrs. Lin happy, she turned the topic to the menu.

"Speaking of recipes, I have one too. The cookbook I read is really weird, and even the name is interesting." Ke Muqing made up a story on the spot, "My father-in-law saved an old man when he was young. I forced it on my father-in-law as a thank you gift."

Ke Muqing lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious, "I heard from my father-in-law that the old man said that his ancestors had been royal chefs in the palace for several generations. Even the current Queen Mother once praised him, but later he offended a villain and the family was forced to leave the capital. It was only after he met a bandit that he fell into despair."

The Queen Mother's compliment directly aroused Mrs. Lin's curiosity.

"Is this really the case?" Mrs. Lin was convinced.

After all, in their hearts, no one dares to make up big stories about the Queen Mother. If the news spread, they will lose their heads.

"The old man said this to my father-in-law. After thinking about it, no one would dare to lie about it. I have read the recipe, and indeed every dish is exquisite." Ke Muqing nodded.

"What impressed me most was the dish called Qianli Lychee Smile. There was a painting in the recipe. Otherwise, I thought it was Lingnan lychee when I saw the painting, but I didn't expect it to be made with meat."

"The recipe says that this dish can almost be confused with real lychees to the naked eye. When you bite into it, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is then wrapped in a secret dipping sauce. It is fresh and sweet. Once you have eaten it once, everyone will love it."

Under Ke Muqing's lively words, Mrs. Lin's greed was aroused.

"Have you eaten it? Is it really worrying?" Mrs. Lin asked hurriedly.
