The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 92 Chopped Peppers
Few people in the village dare to eat meat oil like this. After all, it costs oil to buy it. After buying some, you have to save a long time to eat it after refining it. Unlike the Zhong family who kills pigs every day, there is meat oil to refine every day. This pig The oil is inedible in their house, so they dare to put it so fiercely in the dishes. The villagers are both envious and helpless. They only think that although it is delicious to put so much in the dishes, it is too trampled... …

Zhong Gensheng was sweating all over from running, and sat by the well to cool off a bit, and did not start eating until Dabao and the others came back.

They still eat yesterday's leftovers today, although a lot of them have been given away, but it seems that the rest of the family will have to eat for a day, Shen Sisi means to try to eat all of them in one day.

"Father, it's time to go into the house now..." Shen Sisi said with a smile while eating the vegetables: "The work on the fish pond should start as soon as possible. Before it freezes, dig it out and dry it in the sun. When spring comes, we will Ready to raise fish..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded, but said worriedly: "You build houses and dig ponds, Tu girl, do you have enough money?!"

"Enough, although there are not many, but isn't it selling stewed meat every day?! I still have twenty taels on me, so I can buy a tool to start work first..." Shen Sisi smiled: "Father, don't you I'm worried that when Fumanlou comes to look for me, there will be money in the account again..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded and smiled: "I'm not worried. Although the family has money in the account every day, after all, digging ponds has to prepare meals, buy tools, and pay wages. When they are dug out, they have to buy fry next year. Let me ask more questions." I'm worried about not having enough money, but I know you know what's in your head, don't worry, Dad will go to say hello to them in the afternoon, and then go buy some iron brazing and shovels and other things, it seems that I have to buy a few dustpans to hold soil Come up..."

As Zhong Gensheng talked, he had already started to plan in detail, and his expression was very happy.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, our family will never be short of money again, I promise..."

Zhong Gensheng patted her head lovingly, and said: "It's useless to be dad, who made you think about ways to make money at a young age..."

Shen Sisi smiled, and said cutely: "It is because I am smart that I can earn this money, right, father, mother..."

Niu Xiaohua burst out laughing, and said, "Yes, mother, the local girl is smart enough to earn this money. Is there anyone in the village who can be like our local girl..."

He Axiu smiled lightly, and said: "Yes, only our local girl in this village has the talent to cook so many dishes. Didn't you hear that yesterday the people in the village envied me for having a good daughter? ?!"

Shen Sisi giggled, and He Axiu said with a smile: "One is good at cooking, the other is good at embroidery, our two daughters are all excellent..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded yes, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right..."

The couple each laughed, Shen Sisi didn't blush at all, but Niu Xiaohua blushed shyly.Sibao was secretly surprised when she saw it, this local girl is really not shy at all, she has various expressions on her face, except for shyness, she has never seen it before...

Is she still a girl? !Don't be a monster somewhere, Sibao slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he could only pick the vegetables in the bowl vigorously.

After yesterday's commotion, Zhong's yard finally calmed down. It feels more popular here. Moreover, the red firecrackers that were set off yesterday are still outside the yard gate, but it will take three days to clean them up, because they need to be touched. Popularity and joy, this is a kind of custom, but as long as it is not in the yard, it is not an eyesore.Therefore, when the shopkeeper of Fumanlou drove to Zhong's house with people and gifts, he saw such a scene, red firecracker traces, red wooden doors, and... a magnificent mansion .

The shopkeeper of Fumanlou was stunned for a moment.

It was not only him who was stunned, but also the coachman he brought.The two looked at each other, until someone asked them curiously, they said: "This is... the Zhong family?!"

"That's right..." The villagers were very enthusiastic and proud to outsiders, "It's the Zhong family in our village, and only his family name is Zhong. What do you need to do with them? I'll call someone for you..."

One side was already shouting enthusiastically, "Gensheng, there are visitors from your yard... Come out and see if you recognize him?!"

When Zhong Gensheng put down the bowls and chopsticks and came out, he saw the shopkeeper and a few villagers watching the fun, so he smiled and said, "I know him, please call me..."

Although those people wanted to ask what was going on, but the shopkeeper was not a person in ordinary clothes, so they didn't open their mouths, suppressed their curiosity, and left anyway, but they looked back frequently, feeling very amazed.The Zhong family is well-developed, and even the people who come and go are amazing. It looks like this man is dressed like a rich man, and he even brought his servants and carriage...

Carriage, is there any family in the countryside that has a carriage? This is a kind of livestock that only serious and wealthy families can afford.

Although curious, he didn't want to offend Zhong's family.

Only then did Zhong Gensheng smile and say, "Shopkeeper, why are you here? Please come in..." Sure enough, the local girl had expected it, and he really admired his daughter more and more.

The shopkeeper was a little emotional. The last time I saw their father and daughter, they were still dressed in tatters. They thought they might be from a mud hut. Even in the city, it would be grand enough. Here, after all, it is only a remote county town. There are only a few wealthy families, but there are no very wealthy families.

Sure enough, people can’t be judged by appearances. The shopkeeper secretly looked at the big yard with his eyes, and then looked at Zhong Gensheng and the people eating in the yard around a table. Although the clothes were not expensive, they were very clean and new. , There is nothing patched, and there is a thump in his heart. It seems that he really underestimated others, and he hastily suppressed his contempt.

Originally, I wanted to bring some gifts to shock these country bumpkins, but it seems that this time I made a mistake, and people may not be able to appreciate it...

When I walked closer and looked at the dishes on the table, I felt even more depressed.Thinking about it, he thought things too simply. How could a person who can make stewed pork and that kind of food taste poorly at home? !Look at the dishes, they are better looking and more delicious than those in his restaurant.

The shopkeeper felt even more uncomfortable. Could it be...the price can't be suppressed no matter what? !It seemed like a difficult negotiation.

I was thinking about it, but there was already a three-point smile on my face, and said: "Excuse me, I don't know if you are eating, and you have been delayed for some time in the morning to deal with some business, and you have come here at this hour, I am ashamed..." Said Then he asked the coachman to quickly take out the gift on the car, and said with a smile: "Small gift, it is not a respect, please accept it..."

If there were three points of contempt at the beginning, now I am a little nervous, especially in the morning, and it is absolutely impossible to come to other people's homes at this time. Of course, acquaintances don't care about this, but the official first door If you come to the door late, it will appear insincere. The shopkeeper feels uneasy, and I don't know if he cares about these things...

How can Shen Sisi not understand, she is a transparent person, she just smiled lightly and didn't care, poor people are bullied, this is the truth in the world.They are poor people, and they don't care about anything, as long as the other party can make money for her...

Zhong Gensheng accepted it with a smile, and said, "It's costing you."

The gestures and tone of voice are also quite generous, the shopkeeper is even more concerned, but his heart sinks slightly, this Zhong family... look at the little girl that day again, her face is calm and calm, and her heart is even more entangled, Could it be... this doll is the master of the house? !This is also... The key is that this doll seems to be difficult to negotiate.The shopkeeper already knew it well, if it was difficult to talk about it, he probably couldn't get any cheap.

In fact, it can be imagined that Dabao and the others didn't take advantage of eating and drinking in the restaurant that day, the kind of graceful appearance, the calmness of contemplation that day, and the demeanor of the Zhong family today. Then he showed a wry smile, forced a smile and said: "On the way here, I heard that your house came into the house yesterday, and I have to follow the ceremony for such a big event..."

As he said that, he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Gensheng, saying: "Just make friends, and hope that the Zhong family can think highly of me as a small businessman, and can cooperate for a long time..."

Shen Sisi smiled, this shopkeeper is enlightened, knowing that the timing is wrong, he has already changed his mind, fortunately, otherwise she would have to deal with him, I'm afraid she doesn't have the patience, since she is so knowledgeable, the next thing is easy to talk about up.

Zhong Gensheng accepted it with a smile. He knew that he was asking for his own family, so he would not be polite.If he collected ten taels and gave him some profit, in the long run, the Zhong family would suffer.

"The shopkeeper hasn't eaten yet. If he hasn't eaten yet, sit down and eat..." Zhong Gensheng smiled honestly and said, "It's just a simple meal, so don't dislike it..."

The shopkeeper nodded his head, "Is this tea and rice still a rough meal?" !Then what is he full of blessings? !He sat down eagerly.

Shen Sisi put down the bowl and stood up, said with a smile: "Since the shopkeeper is here, let me make some dishes. These dishes are leftovers from yesterday, how can I use this to entertain guests, dad, please take another table Come to the table, make some tea..."

"Success..." Zhong Gensheng hurriedly let the shopkeeper and the coachman sit down. The shopkeeper was originally from an ordinary family, so naturally he couldn't dislike the coachman who was with him. He is just a businessman, and there is nothing very honorable about it. Above, his status is not as good as that of a farmer who is a cart driver.Besides, the coachman had been with him since he was a child, and he never cared about sharing the table with him outside, let alone now he couldn't share the table with him.

Zhong Gensheng made tea and said with a smile: "My daughter will make new dishes and serve them up in a while, you should drink some tea first..." He said with a smile: "Axiu, take the children to finish the food and clear the table early Bar……"

"Hey..." He Axiu knew that they had something to talk about, so she responded, quickly ate the food, cleared the table, washed the dishes, and hid in the house with Niu Xiaohua.

Dabao and Sibao stayed, but they also sat at that table. They all knew that the next big event was about the future income of their Zhong family.

The dishes were quickly served. The first dish, of course, was yesterday's pickled cabbage fish hot pot, which caught the shopkeeper's attention as soon as it was served.Especially the bubbling, bubbling, tangy smell, their empty stomachs have already started to growl, and they can't help but want to pounce on it like drooling, this taste? !Just smell it...

The second dish is steamed fish with chopped pepper.

The third course is braised fatty sausage pot.

There are only three dishes, but they are served with a large bowl of bone soup wontons.

Shen Sisi came out of the kitchen sweating, sat down on the table, and said with a smile, "Boss, try it..."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "You made all these dishes?!"
