The splendid pastoral of the fierce scholar

Chapter 73 Visiting the Zhou Family
This time, Boss Chen went to the market, because he bought a shop and wanted to start a business no matter what.

A few people went to the town again, and along the way, Boss Chen rarely talked to Chen Yujie, and Chen Yujie himself didn't notice anything, but felt that the big brother didn't talk much today.

When he arrived at the shop, Boss Chen told Chen Yujie that he wanted to discuss business with others, so he didn't let Chen Yujie come to the shop at all.

Chen Yujie didn't say anything, just happened to follow his daughter to see the little boy.

Chen Yiyi's evaluation of Boss Chen once again dropped in her heart. It is really clear at a glance what kind of person he is.

After inquiring all the way, the two finally arrived at the Zhou Mansion. It looked plain and unpretentious. Chen Yiyi knocked on the door, and it was an adult servant who opened the door.

As soon as they heard that it was Chen Yiyi's father and daughter, the servants immediately welcomed them in, presumably Zhou Chengchen had already greeted the people in the mansion.

Looking at the layout of the Zhou Mansion, Chen Yiyi felt that there was only one word to describe it, that is, make the best use of everything.

Almost everything here is designed according to the most appropriate method, and there is no waste of resources or space. The owner of this mansion also cares about it. I don’t know if my reward will be so caressing.

After entering the main hall, Zhou Chengchen had already been notified by his servants, and he greeted Chen Yiyi and his daughter with a smile.

When Chen Yujie saw Zhou Chengchen, his face was rosy and full of energy. It seemed that the previous shock was nothing, but this time, there was also the previous housekeeper.

The housekeeper and Chen Yujie talked about the housework, and people from two classes who were not related to each other unexpectedly had a happy conversation, but Chen Yiyi felt that the housekeeper's interpersonal skills were the most powerful.

There are only two children left, Chen Yiyi and Zhou Chengchen. Well, of course, neither of them are children in the strict sense.

Looking at Chen Yiyi with slanted eyes, Zhou Chengchen actually expected that they would come on the day of the market, and Chen Yiyi, a money fanatic, didn't seem like someone who would wait for a long time.

"What? What else do you want in return?"

"Hey," Chen Yiyi smiled respectfully, "Isn't this only the market day, this time has come."

"Yes, so, what do you want? I think this kind of life-saving grace should at least be repaid by my family's ancestral jade pendant."

Hearing this, Chen Yiyi complained in her heart, saying that I am only interested in silver, and have no feelings for your family heirlooms.

"Well, I'm the same as my father, and I don't want anything in return. Let's forget about such precious things as heirlooms, and just make whatever you want."

"Oh," Zhou Chengchen smiled treacherously, didn't he, mean whatever he wanted. : "Then, thank you very much, just have a meal at my house, it's casual like that."

Chen Yiyi: "..."

Actually, you don't have to be so casual.

"Well, Master Zhou, you are really humorous. Forget it, let's just forget about food and so on. Our family is very poor. Well, some more money will be enough."

"No, no, how can you use money to save your life? You only got 240 taels before, didn't you?"

Chen Yiyi was speechless in her heart, sir, I understand what you are implying.

"I think a meal is enough."

Zhou Chengchen fully agreed to this.

Chen Yujie didn't know what 240 taels was. He chatted happily with the butler, and when he learned that he wanted to eat, Zhou Chengchen was sure of it, so he agreed.

At noon, when the table was full of dishes, Chen Yiyi felt that she seemed to have watched the scenes in the TV series, and she was inevitably excited, but she knew that she should be reserved in front of outsiders, so she behaved quite calmly.

But Chen Yujie...

"Wow, I've never eaten these things before."

"Hey, what is this? Why is this fan so delicious?"

Zhou Chengchen: "This is shark fin."

"Oh, what kind of egg is this? It's the same as the bird eggs I picked out when I was a child."

Zhou Chengchen: "This is a jade pigeon egg."

"Really, why are there flowers on this one? It's so beautiful."

Zhou Chengchen: "This is carved from a radish, it can be eaten."

"Hey, there are so many dishes in this dish. I have never eaten such a dish in my life."

Zhou Chengchen, but he smiled and said nothing, there was no contempt in his eyes, he seemed to appreciate Chen Yujie's uprightness very much.

Chen Yiyi ate in silence. It was rare for him to eat such a good meal now, so hurry up and eat, and don't care about the rest.

The meal passed in the midst of Chen Yujie's exclamation, Zhou Chengchen's answer and Chen Yiyi's silence.

After eating, Chen Yiyi and Chen Yujie went to Boss Chen's shop.

Ordinarily, it was past noon to talk about things, and it was time to go back to the shop, but Chen Yiyi and Chen Yujie waited in front of the shop for a long time before Boss Chen came back.

Boss Chen saw the displeasure in the eyes of the two of them, but he still invited them to go in. However, Boss Chen smelled of alcohol, maybe it was Chen Yiyi's illusion, she always felt that Boss Chen smelled of powder on his body.

So Chen Yiyi secretly used the Lingshi, and after scanning, it turned out that there was rouge in it, and it was definitely not the amount that was glued on with just a touch.

It's funny, the corners of Chen Yiyi's mouth raised slightly, it seems that the boss is always more assertive and able to do things.

After perfunctory Chen Yujie's few words, Boss Chen told Chen Yujie to go back to work quickly. Chen Yujie had nothing to do when he came to the market. Yiyi went back.

Walking on the road, Chen Yiyi still has plans.

"Dad, remember the last time we were at the market?"

"Well, you're talking about 100 taels."

"Well," Chen Yiyi nodded: "Let's go see how the boss's business is doing in the shop now."

When Chen Yujie thought about it, he really wanted to take a look. After all, this business brought him 100 taels all at once.

The two of them first walked along the previous road to see the current situation of the previous store.

The two went to see it like this. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the store, the two had no choice but to stop. There were really a lot of people. It was already past the meal time, but it was still full. Even the store owner was busy everywhere. Taking care of it.

But after a while, the shop owner saw Chen Yiyi and Chen Yujie, and immediately walked over with a smile.

"The two are finally here, please come in, please come in quickly."

The boss let the two of them into the small room inside, greeted the other guests, and the shop owner came in and couldn't wait to talk to the two of them.

"Let me tell you, but thanks to your method, our pig sausages are sold with small profits and high sales. This one has brought me a lot of business in just a few days. Everyone who has been here loves this pig. The big sausage is very interesting, many people who don’t eat this food can’t stand the aroma, so they can’t leave it.”

Both Chen Yujie and Chen Yiyi smiled and said, "Congratulations."

The shop owner smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, let me tell you, it's really worth it. It's a real treasure. Now I hear that other restaurants want to imitate it."

"Boss, don't worry, they won't be able to figure it out for a while." Chen Yiyi is still confident about this.

The store owner also nodded in satisfaction, and continued to talk to the two of them for a while about his development and receipt of goods in the past few days, smiling happily the whole time.

Chen Yiyi and Chen Yujie also listened together, echoing from time to time.

After a while, the two left, and the shop owner said proudly that he would invite him to eat in his shop next time.

On the way home, Chen Yiyi had a new idea. When she went in, she observed the kimchi sold in the store and analyzed it with Lingshi. She felt that the taste was definitely not as good as her own. Should she continue to sell some kimchi? something.

Thinking about this, Chen Yiyi felt that she had a new idea. The kimchi at home, whether it was pickled radish, pickled cowpea, or pickled cabbage, was delicious.

Moreover, the taste of kimchi is different for each family. Most of them have only a salty taste, or they only have a sour taste, sour cheeks hurt, like Chen’s. The starter kimchi was rare.

The key is that only the ones made at home have this taste, which is the same as calligraphy and painting. You know how to do it, but you just can’t do it yourself.If you use your own spirit stone to analyze it carefully, and then formulate a better and improved plan, then sell it to the restaurant, and the benefits will be considerable.

At the same time, this is a long-term business, there is no concept of buyout or plagiarism, and the money earned from small things is not necessarily small, and it is stable. There are things to buy all year round, regardless of the weather.

Thinking about this while walking on the road, Chen Yiyi couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth. It seems that her road to fortune is very promising.

After returning home, Chen Yiyi got into the plan of researching kimchi.

Wrapped around Wang all day long asking questions, what was the kimchi made of, how long was it, what was there to pay attention to, or what was being processed at that time.

Mrs. Wang is very helpful to Chen Yiyi's questions. When talking about her special skills, she is naturally very interested, and she is also happy that Chen Yiyi wants to learn her own craft. Don't look like nothing, learn more, learn better, and get married in the future Sometimes there is one more place to talk about.

Now the Chen family only has soaked radishes. The red-skinned and white-heart radishes are the most, and there are also a few white-skinned and white-heart radishes. They all taste the same.

Chen Yiyi used spirit stones to analyze the acidity and fermentation inside, and now the mother water in these pickle jars is very good, if he wants to soak more, it is completely enough, and there is no need to worry about quality problems.

Another very important thing is the content of nitrite. People in ancient times didn’t know about this, but Chen Yiyi, a modern person, knows that nitrite is a known carcinogen. In ancient times, there was no concept of cancer. I just thought it was some intractable disease.

Another thing is that people in ancient times generally lived short lives. Except for some wealthy people in the upper class, ordinary people lived in poverty. There was no overeating, and there was no overweight situation. The incidence rate is much less.

Moreover, there was no pollution in ancient times, and there were fewer foods with various chemical additions. Naturally, there were many fewer causes of cancer. The most important thing is that in ancient times, the time to go to bed was relatively early, and going to bed early was the most important reason for good health.

Chen Yiyi knew that there were few causes of cancer in ancient times, and this kimchi may be one aspect.

Because kimchi production process will produce nitrite, which is a powerful carcinogen.

However, it does not mean that eating kimchi must have nitrite, and it must be easy to get cancer.In the early stage of pickling, the content of nitrite is very high, which is basically inedible, but later, the nitrite will start to decompose, and the content will become less and less. It is really soaked and can be eaten. The content of nitrite in it is already very low, basically it will not have any impact on the human body, it is within the normal range, or there is no such thing at all.

But it doesn’t mean that the longer the soaking, the better. If you don’t eat after soaking, keep soaking, and the nitrite content in it will increase until it’s the same as the most opened content, and it will exceed it if you continue.

Therefore, Chen Yiyi is now carefully recording the quality of soaked radishes, and calculates the cooking time of radishes of different quality conditions based on observations, so that she can prevent her own radishes from endangering her health.
