The splendid pastoral of the fierce scholar

Chapter 74 Finding Problems
It takes 20 days at a time to soak radishes, and Chen Yiyi uses Lingshi to scan, analyze and record all the data every day during these 20 days, so as to ensure that the pickled radishes she makes are both tasty and healthy.

In these days, the family is not peaceful.

First of all, Boss Chen, since he has a shop, he almost never looks for a home. It is in the town, and the most he does when he goes home is to ask old man Chen for money.

The reason is that he needs to make connections, and it is very important to make business contacts. Mr. Chen understands this very well. Every time he takes money, he takes money directly.

In the past 20 days, Boss Chen has asked for at least 30 taels of silver in bits and pieces, and Boss Chen can tell what he wants to do every time. Woolen cloth.

But up to now, a lot of contacts have been lost, but the store has not yet entered the right track. It is said to be a business of furniture and small daily objects, but until now, let alone goods, it is rare for Boss Chen to see it.

Every time Boss Chen came home, although he concealed it very well, he still couldn't hide from Chen Yiyi's high-tech spirit stone. Every time, he could scan out the smell of makeup and powder covered by the smell of wine and food on Boss Chen's body.

Chen Yiyi saw Jiang's trust in Sun Cong on her man's face, so she silently mentioned Jiang's three-second silence. What would she do if she knew the truth?In case I feel sad and lose weight successfully, um, this is very inspirational.

Chen Yiyi thinks like this, but she also knows that men in ancient times didn't care about these things, and it's hard for her to say anything, and she can't say anything. It's also someone else's family business, so it's better not to get involved with a child like yourself.

But the other person was not as calm as Chen Yiyi, and Chen's second son also knew about the situation.

Originally, Chen Lao Er was very dissatisfied with the special rights and treatment of Boss Chen, and these days he couldn't get used to it, finding fault everywhere.

Boss Chen drank and ate too many times, and Second Chen began to doubt it. In addition, the business has not been on the right track. Although Boss Chen said that this is not urgent, Old Chen followed suit, but Second Chen did not believe it. Not convinced that Boss Chen can squander the money earned by his family's labor, he wants to see how this big boss Chen has accumulated contacts through eating, drinking and having fun.

So one day, Chen Laoer asked for money from Chen Boss and went to the town to go to the market. After saying that he was planning a business, Chen Laoer sneaked behind Chen Boss.

I don't know if I don't follow, but I was startled when I followed, Boss Chen did rely on food, drink and others to accumulate contacts and plan a business, but what kind of contacts are these contacts, and what kind of business is business, Chen's second is not so clear.

The people who ate with Boss Chen still looked like human beings at a glance, but their behavior, speech, eating manners, and drinking attitudes all felt a bit unserious, but there were some unscrupulous places. Chen Laoer couldn't tell either.

Originally, after reading it, Chen Laoer was not convinced, but he had to admit that it was not much different from what Chen Boss said. A few people were full of wine and food but continued to go out together, as if they were going to other places with high spirits.

Chen Lao Er, who was going back, didn't plan to go back, and continued to follow.

After walking a few streets above the town and turning a few turns, several people entered a dimly lit and hidden alley.

Chen Laoer was shocked, because this place was the only Hualiu Lane in this town, Liuhua Lane.

There are no big brothels in the town, and the folk customs in the town are still very conservative. They don't want to be so mixed with fish and dragons in big places. These places with willows and willows dare not put them on the bright side.

But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is a need, there will be a market. No, Liuhua Lane has appeared, and it has settled in the least crowded and most secluded place in this town.

Usually, Mr. Chen told his brothers that they should not go to those unclean places, but, unexpectedly, Mr. Chen was taken aback. His elder brother actually went with a few people who were negotiating business like this Yes, and it seems that this is not the first time, it feels very familiar.

Chen Laoer was surprised and angry, like this, these people, what kind of business can they talk about, isn't this a waste of the hard-earned money of his family.

The positive money that I had worked so hard for was given to my elder brother to squander, and it was spent on the so-called business like this.

The more Chen Lao Er thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but wanted to rush home. Now he only had one thought in his head, he must tell his father about his elder brother's behavior, and he must uphold justice.

Thinking of this, Chen Laoer ran faster and faster, and the sound of running and wind came from his ears, and the sweat on his forehead burst out directly. The anger in Chen Laoer's heart now made his heart ache. If you don't say these things, you will be pissed off.

Running so fast, Chen Laoer didn't even notice a stone on the ridge of the field. He stepped on the stone and fell to the ground.

The pain from his body made Chen Laoer wake up suddenly, and he stood up blankly, without patting the dust on his body, Chen Laoer walked forward silently, but he seemed to understand something in his mind.

If I am like this, even if I tell my father, what will happen?

I have no proof, and no one sees it like me, so will my father believe it?

Chen Laoer understands that since he quarreled twice about the shop, his father's attitude towards him has changed. In his eyes, his eldest son is the one who has the overall situation, character, and bearing. Thinking of our eldest son.

What about yourself?I am just a second son who doesn't know how to contribute, doesn't know how to contribute to this family, but only knows his own selfishness.

To say it this way, in Mr. Chen's opinion, the credibility is very low. Moreover, my father wants to trust his eldest son more from the bottom of his heart. If his elder brother says a few more words at that time, he will become Selfish, making up lies for his own benefit to smear the elder brother's heartless younger brother.

Thinking of this, Chen Laoer couldn't help laughing at himself, yes, would dad believe him?Won't!
It's impossible for my father to see it with his own eyes. My father doesn't go to the town at all. Even if he does, the eldest brother knows that he won't go to have fun at this time.

Chen Lao Er, who thought hard and found that he had no choice, was depressed after returning home. Mrs. Liu asked Chen Lao Er, and Chen Lao Er told what he had seen, and the husband and wife discussed together what to do.

Chen Yiyi didn't know this, and she had a rough guess about Boss Chen's behavior, but she didn't feel anything.

Boss Chen knew from the very beginning that his character was not good, so it was no surprise that he did such a thing.

But I don't know if it's her own illusion or real, Chen Yiyi always felt that in the later days, Boss Chen always looked at him with eyes that seemed to be nothing, and when he looked at him, he turned his eyes away and looked at other places .

After several times of this situation, Chen Yiyi can be sure that this is definitely not an illusion, Boss Chen is just looking at herself.

After a few days like this, it will be the [-]th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival, this festival of family reunion, naturally it will be a lively celebration.

Mrs. Deng had already done her shopping on the previous market day. She bought meat and pig intestines, and more importantly, she even bought some dry goods, as well as some dates, green dates, and fruits!

Chen Yiyi was very excited, but she hadn't eaten fruit once since she traveled through time. In ancient times, there was no greenhouse technology, and fruits could only be in season, and there were few farmers who grew fruits, most of them were self-sufficient. It happened that the Chen family No edible fruit was ripe.

On this day, August [-]th, Boss Chen was not busy with his own business, and even Mrs. Jiang, who was lazy and naughty, got up early in the morning.

The whole family in the village gathered on the courtyard dam of the village head's house, because today, there is an important thing to do, which is to make glutinous rice cakes!

Making glutinous rice cakes, the so-called glutinous rice cakes are boiled glutinous rice that has just come out of the pot, put them into a cylinder-shaped stone, and several strong men hold a cylindrical tool with thick ends and a thin rod in the middle. Come to make glutinous rice cakes.

Generally, two people, according to the rhythm, will pound the thick end to the hot glutinous rice one at a time. The already cooked glutinous rice will suffer a strong impact, and the shape of the rice will gradually change and gradually become a ball, just like the shape of rice cakes. , but very sticky.

When the two people are tired, switch people and continue serving until all the glutinous rice inside has become a whole ball, and the shape of the rice cannot be seen at all. It is just a ball of paste, and the sticky hot rice cake is complete. up.

Then the two of them hammered the glutinous rice cake with one end of the tool, took out the glutinous glutinous rice cake with the help of its stickiness, and placed it on the table that had been washed and smeared with steamed cooking oil.

The women on the side have already prepared, touched the oil one by one, divided the large balls of glutinous rice cakes into small balls, and then picked off the small balls and pressed them into a round cake the size of a palm. Touch the clear oil on the top and put another one on it, just four or five in one stack, and then re-stack the next stack.

Originally hot glutinous rice cakes, after being pressed into round cakes, will stabilize in the shape of round cakes as the temperature drops. It is no longer soft and waxy at the beginning, but becomes cold and hard. This kind of glutinous rice cakes can be dried in a closed It can be stored for a long time under normal circumstances. If you want to eat it when you want to eat it, you can bake it or steam it.

The day of August [-]th is the day when people here make glutinous rice cakes together. Moon cakes are difficult to eat, which they think are noble things, so they use glutinous rice glutinous rice cakes that are almost available in every house instead. Use this to honor Moon Bodhisattva.

And this thing is easy to save, affordable, convenient, and easier to accept.

It is estimated that when Chen Yiyi crossed, the location is similar to here, and the customs here are also different from those of my modern hometown, but my hometown does not have the habit of making glutinous rice cakes on August [-]th. During the festival, several families will gather together to make glutinous rice cakes.

So Chen Yiyi knew a lot about making glutinous rice cakes. On August [-]th, when Wang told Chen Yiyi that she wanted to make glutinous rice cakes, Chen Yiyi was more than pleasantly surprised.

The glutinous rice cakes here are beaten together by the whole village, so it is impossible for just a few people to beat them. Basically, those who have no home are beaten by their own men, and their own women press them into round cakes while they are hot.

As for the children, most of them are here to join in the fun, and the girls come to learn first, while the boys come to eat the freshly made glutinous rice cakes, which are sweet, glutinous and fragrant, because watching the process makes them even more delicious.

The stone vat for making glutinous rice cakes is only used when making glutinous rice cakes. Most people don’t have one. Only the village chief’s family has one. Everyone gathers at the village chief’s house and beats them in order. The table also belongs to the village chief’s family. Clean tables for everyone to use.

And the clear oil for making glutinous rice cakes is steamed by every household and brought with them.
