Xianggong farming

Chapter 169
Shopkeeper Chen immediately noticed the strangeness of his boss, and immediately picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip, and the surprise on his face was overflowing: "Brother Dalang, your wife made tea with chrysanthemums?"

Qi Dalang nodded with a smile on the side: "Shopkeeper Chen is right. This is the wild honey chrysanthemum water made by my wife. It is made with wild chrysanthemum tires and wild honey from deep mountains in early September. Although it is cold in winter, it is dry and easy to get angry. This flavor of tea is learned by my daughter-in-law from her grandma. Drinking this tea often can remove internal heat and generate fluid, prevent mouth sores, and tooth swelling and pain.”

Hearing this, shopkeeper Chen repeatedly praised: "Miao! Miao, indeed Miao! Chen only knows that wild chrysanthemum can be used as medicine, but he has never heard that wild chrysanthemum can be used as tea! Not bad, not bad! Brother Dalang told the method so readily. Me, you are not afraid that I will learn it?"

Qi Dalang smiled again: "The shopkeeper Chen was joking, you don't run a teahouse, and my Qi family doesn't make a living from this silver seller, so how could I be afraid of you learning it? If the shopkeeper thinks this tea is delicious, turn around Bring some home for your family to drink. I don’t have much wild honey at home, but my daughter-in-law has dried a lot of this wild chrysanthemum fetus, and I’ll search for some for you later.”

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile: "Although wild honey is more rare, it is even more desirable to want this clean wild chrysanthemum fetus that can be used in tea this season. Brother Qi is so generous, then Chen will thank you in advance."

Jiang Jialei kept silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.As a master and servant for 20 years, it was the first time that shopkeeper Chen couldn't figure out what the young master wanted to show, so he had to laugh and talk with Qi Dalang all the time.

The meals are very simple, mostly vegetarian dishes. Of course, this is in Jiang Jialei's eyes.Sautéed potato cubes, steamed sauerkraut with peppers, fried pork slices with Chinese cabbage and black fungus, and a plate of fermented bean curd.The rice is even simpler, a crock pot called porridge, and a pot of black and yellow steamed buns.Is this Qi family really that poor, or is it not willing to make some delicious food?
Although Jiang Jialei had no expression on his face, he secretly despised him in his heart. A countryman is just a countryman, and the food for hospitality is so crude that he has the nerve to show it.

If Ji Xinmiao knew Jiang Jialei's thoughts, he would definitely kick him out.This meal, in the countryside, is already very rich.Besides, she would still think, even if she has some good ones, why should she cook them for Jiang Jialei?With the look of disgust on his face, giving him these steamed buns made with the techniques carefully passed down by grandma plus her acquired experience and knowledge, is already considered his shit luck.

Shangping Village is all fertile land developed on the back of the mountain. Because of the backing of the mountain, the water is cold, and it is only planted here for one season.There are barren hills everywhere, and the villagers really don't have enough to eat, so they send some money to the village to pay for public transportation, and open some barren hills as dry land.Plant corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes and various crops that can fill the stomach and serve meals.Therefore, each family in the village not only mainly eats miscellaneous grains in winter, but also only eats two meals.

But Ji Xinmiao insisted on eating three meals. There was not enough oil and water in the first place, so it was not nutrition.If you save another meal for the children, the two children will be careful.Even if you can't eat white rice, you still need to eat three meals.

In the eyes of Jiang Jialei, the simple meals are already the dishes for guests in the countryside.Qi Dalang insisted on being so rich at noon today.He said that if shopkeeper Chen arrived at meal time, it would be shameful to let him go away hungry in this snowy day.

Jiang Jialei sat at the table and carefully tasted the chrysanthemum tea without opening his mouth. Seeing that the host's food was served, shopkeeper Chen took the water from Qi Dalang and let him wash his hands, then handed him a bowl of porridge and gave him After picking up a miscellaneous grain steamed bun, he said respectfully, "Master, please!"

Ji Xinmiao, who was serving vegetables, glanced at him contemptuously at his pretentious appearance, and reached out to take a steamed bun to Qi Dalang who kept drinking the porridge: "Sir, don't just drink the thin porridge, you will eat it later." Gotta be hungry."

Qi Dalang knew that the steamed buns made by his daughter-in-law were delicious, so he was reluctant to eat them: "I'm fine, anyway, I don't need to do heavy work today, this steamed buns are for Huzi and Linger, I won't be hungry after drinking porridge."

"What are you talking about? Huzi and Ling'er asked Erqin to take them to eat. Our family is not hungry. What are you saving? Hurry up, we will be busy soon." Ji Xin Miao glared at him, and blamed Qi Dalang for taking the steamed buns.

On the other hand, Jiang Jialei's face became even colder when he heard the conversation between the two. How could you look down on him when you married such a poor farmer? Even if you grew up in Jiang's family, you are different from ordinary peasant women. Isn't he born as a slave?

What are you proud of?
Looking at the steamed buns on the plate, whether black or yellow, Jiang Jialei decided not to eat them.

Just as he was about to put down the bowls and chopsticks, shopkeeper Chen's surprised voice made him stop: "Little lady, did you make this steamed bun yourself?"

Ji Xinmiao knew that shopkeeper Chen's food tasted good. He is a businessman, so he has found life, right?
So she smiled faintly: "Shopkeeper Chen is so interesting, we are a poor family in the countryside, how can we hire someone to make a few miscellaneous grain steamed buns?"

Shopkeeper Chen knew that it was his boss's face and eyes that offended the hostess.But the master is the master, don't blame him, he just doesn't even think about it as a servant.

So shopkeeper Chen took a big bite and said, "It's delicious! I've lived for more than forty years, and it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious multigrain steamed bun. Can I ask you how to make this steamed bun?"

From shopkeeper Chen's questioning, Ji Xinmiao knew that he was tempted. In modern restaurants, besides wine and vegetables, there are also snacks. A plate of steamed buns costs [-] cents each outside, but restaurants are a little more refined, and two yuan each .Wine steamed buns are also a popular snack in modern restaurants. If they are paired with a plate of strong flavored dishes and made into steamed buns, they will become popular in ancient restaurants, right?

Shopkeeper Chen really deserves to be a shrewd businessman.

Ji Xinmiao deliberately put on a embarrassed smile: "The shopkeeper is polite, is this steamed bun made of steamed buns? You have been eating for decades, so you don't need to tell me how to make steamed buns. "

Shopkeeper Chen immediately blushed: "Little lady is right, this old man is reckless!"

"Make a price!" Jiang Jialei ate the steamed buns on the plate while the two were talking.

Ji Xinmiao still had that faint expression on her face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I'm not going to sell this prescription, but it was secretly passed on to me by my grandmother."

not for sale?

Jiang Jialei squinted his eyes and turned around the room, the disgust and contempt in his eyes made Ji Xinmiao even more determined: let this person go easily, she will regret it for the rest of her life!Although she is not Zhou Papi, she is not a living woman either!

So her tone became firmer: "Not for sale!"
