My Fantastic Chef Wife

Chapter 62: How to divide the work

Ye Xiaoxian did not expect that Wang Xiucai was mentioned last night, and he met today.

Seen in the county.

When Wang Xiucai saw Ye Xiaoxian, he tentatively asked, "Aren't you Baoshan's uncle? I've met you."

"Oh, it's Mr. Wang!" Ye Xiaoxian took a while to remember who this person was in front of him.

"Xiaosheng came to the county today to buy some four treasures in the study, so I don't want to happen to meet you!" Wang Xiucai looked at Ye Xiaoxian.

"Then ... Fortunately, fortunately!" Ye Xiaoxian learned Wang Xiucai's tone.

Wang Xiucai looked at Li Hongmei again: "This is ..."

"This is Baofeng's mother, mother. This is Mr. Baofeng's teacher, Wang Xiucai!" Ye Xiaoxian introduced.

Li Hongmei was enthusiastic. When she heard that this person was Baofeng's teacher, she quickly greeted Wang Xiu before sitting down. Wang Xiucai had no time to speak. Li Hongmei had already handed a bowl of jelly powder to Wang Xiucai.

This is an age of respect for teachers. If Li Hongmei felt that Wang Xiu would not drink her bowl of jelly, she would not respect the teacher, and I'm sorry for Baofeng.

Wang Xiu was a literati, and the literati were a bit savvy, and would not accept this bowl of jelly so easily.

"Sir, hurry, drink!" Li Hongmei almost wanted to feed him in person.

Wang Xiu did not dodge, but had to drink.

After drinking it, he had to give money, but Li Hongmei said that he would not accept anything. He also said that as long as he was willing to teach Baofeng, this bowl of jelly was nothing.

This is probably why Wang Xiu refused to drink jelly.

Ye Xiaoxian looked straight and wanted to laugh.

Wang Xiucai took a look at Ye Xiaoxian before leaving, and said, "Then ... I'll come back to visit your jelly booth next time."

Ye Xiaoxian only smiled. Just when someone was coming to buy jelly powder, Ye Xiaoxian was busy driving again.

Wang Xiucai looked at Ye Xiaoxian dullly for a while, and two poems appeared in his mind: the waves in the eyes, the flourishes of Yingyinghua.

In modern terms, that is Ye Xiaoxian's rough clothes, hiding an interesting soul.

...

"Come at your house?"

At noon, after Ye Xiaoxian prepared the dishes, the housekeeper Liu talked to her about Liu's plans.

"Yeah, our lord said, if you are willing to come to our house to be a cook, I can give you three or two dollars a month, or ... two or five is fine."

Ye Xiaoxian was steaming osmanthus cakes and taro cakes today. After listening to the housekeeper Liu, she smiled slightly.

Mr. Liu also said, "In fact, the monthly money is five or two. In our Qinghe County, we have counted a lot of money. It is a couple of dollars more than the soap service of Yemen. Our master is also a talent, so I asked me to tell you. . Moreover, you come to our house to be a cook. You don't have to sell jelly every day. How long can jelly be sold, there will be no business after the beginning of autumn. "

Ye Xiaoxian still did not answer.

The steward Liu asked again: "Isn't that little lady afraid that the family would disagree? Or you should go back and discuss it with your husband? See if he agrees?"

Ye Xiaoxian said, "I'm going to be busy with the farm soon. I don't know if I can help my family with the farm work. I'll discuss this matter later. By the way, if the farm is busy, I won't be able to come and cook. You can put snacks for a few days, so that Ms. Wu can eat something. "

"Ah, this!" Butler Liu looked disappointed.

...

Ye Xiaoxian came out of Liu's house a little late that day.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Baoshan again, and he was standing quietly at the door again.

"Why are you here?" Ye Xiaoxian asked.

"My mother just came to me and said you haven't come back yet, let me come and see."

"Oh, I'm fine, but the snacks I made today are a bit slow, because I have to wait for the flour to be saved and steam them in the pan. Right, it takes time to pinch the snacks."

"Is it so complicated to make snacks?"

"Miss Liu's is very picky. If she doesn't look good, she won't eat it." Ye Xiaoxian smiled bitterly: "Miss, what does it look like if we are rough and rough girls?"

Xiao Baoshan moved his mouth, didn't speak, and just followed Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian asked him again, "Did you go to work today? Do you want to go back to the door?"

"I won't return to Yemen, I'll walk home with you." Xiao Baoshan said.

Ye Xiaoxian was a little surprised, but she did not object.

This was the first time she had gone home with him, and she would have to walk half an hour.

At the beginning, Ye Xiaoxian was a little awkward, because he didn't speak, but when he walked to the central street of the county, Xiao Baoshan saw that there were rock candy gourds on the roadside, and he asked Ye Xiaoxian, "Leaves, you have to eat rock candy ?"

Ye Xiaoxian nodded: "Come one."

Xiao Baoshan went to buy two.

Eating a rock sugar gourd while walking is just like a modern girl drinking milk tea while shopping, so you can relax a lot when you walk.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Baoshan asked Ye Xiaoxian.

"OK," Ye Xiaoxian said as he ate.

Xiao Baoshan seemed relieved.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled and asked, "What's the matter with you? Are you afraid I don't feel good?"

"What you usually make is delicious, and I'm afraid you hate this candy gourd."

"How can it be that sugar gourd is only delicious in this era, sour and sweet, and can have fruity and sweet flavor." Ye Xiaoxian said.

"This era?" Xiao Baoshan didn't understand.

Ye Xiaoxian broke the topic: "By the way, Liu Yuan's housekeeper asked me today if I would stay in their home as a cook. The salary is five or two months, but I didn't reply explicitly."

May or two months is a very high salary in Qinghe County, Ye Xiaoxian did not agree.

But Xiao Baoshan said: "Then you must have your own plans and plans."

Ye Xiaoxian asked with a smile: "What plan do you think I have?"

Xiao Baoshan looked at her with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. After a while, she said, "Although I don't know, I think you are a very thoughtful girl. Just go as you wish."

After that, I added: "I will support you."

"Thank you!" Ye Xiaoxian asked, "Are you looking at your mother's face, or looking at me as your wife now?"

Xiao Baoshan just bit a rock candy gourd. He didn't look at Ye Xiaoxian until he swallowed the rock candy gourd and said, "All of them."

"..." The two walked and talked, and soon came home.

...

Unsurprisingly, Ye Xiaoxian expected that Xiao Laohan called all the people in the third room that night.

The main discussion this time was about busy farming.

By convention, men sit in front and women stand behind.

Xiao Xiaohan said: "Although you are now separated, the autumn harvest is included in my account, so all of you will participate in this autumn harvest, including the second room that has been allocated."

Li Hongmei immediately said: "Daddy, when you split up, you didn't give us land, didn't you say it was good? When we were paying for food, our second house was tax deductible with money."

Xiao Xiaohan looked at Li Hongmei with an indignant look: "Then do you still have a surname Xiao? Isn't it the Xiao family?"

Li Hongmei muttered in her heart: I'm not surnamed Xiao.

Xiao Xiaohan patted his thigh again: "Although your man is no longer there, you still live in Xiao's house. You are also a farmer in your name. If you have the ability to leave the farmer and become a merchant, it is cheap."

"I ..." Li Hongmei wanted to say something, but Ye Xiaoxian patted her thigh and motioned her not to speak.

The next words were Ye Xiaoxian: "Grandpa, we will naturally help with the farm busy things, but you have also seen that the rice in the field was previously my mother, I and most of the orbs were dried. We did it. Now that the rice is cooked, it is certainly possible for us to participate in it, but we have a requirement. When we pay for food, the share in our second room will be included in the account of the Xiao family. "

Wang Mudan immediately said, "Isn't this good? You have five people in the second room, and each of you fights for a total of five fights. You can pay for your food. We only pay for three fights. The rest of you still use money to pay taxes. . "

"You die ..." Li Hongmei was about to fight with her sleeves up.

But he was stopped by Ye Xiaoxian. Ye Xiaoxian firmly said, "If we don't give us enough five fights, we will not care about the work in the field. Also, the work in the field cannot be divided by head."

Wang Mudan asked, "Which point is not divided according to the head? It's better to follow the old rules. You cut rice in the second room, we thresh the valley in the big room, and the sun in the third room."

Whoever has planted the field does not know that cutting rice is the hardest. If all the rice is cut by Sanfang, then bowing and bending over for three days may not be complete.

In this era, the yield of rice is not high. It is good to have five buckets per mu. A bucket is equal to thirty catties, and the Xiao family has a total of three acres.

Ye Xiaoxian said: "Because our second house can only reach the public grain and cannot divide the grain, our second house farmer is only responsible for the five-field field this time, including rice harvest, paddy and sun-drying in the five-field field. The rest of your big house and Three rooms are in charge. "

"Yo, only in charge of Wufentian. Shameless? In this case, we might as well not want you to help." Wang Mudan said.

Others also opposed, including Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu.

The Xiao family's men always thought that the family's work should be done by women. Men only need to earn money outside. When the farm is busy, the gates will take three days off. The two brothers also lay at home. I have worked hard at Yemen, and I have a chance to take leave, so I need to support myself.

The women of the Xiao family not only had to do farm work during the busy period, they also had to take care of the two ancestors and Xiao Xiaohan and the younger children.

Xiao Xiaohan has been listening to Ye Xiaoxian and Wang Mudan coming and going, looking at Ye Xiaoxian's eyes have become even more scornful and disgusted.

After everyone in the family finished expressing opinions, Xiao Xiaohan sneered and looked at Ye Xiaoxian: "In this world, when is the woman's turn to say so much? The men in the family let you do whatever you want, you actually How dare you bargain? Didn't Baoshan usually teach you how to be a wife? "
