    "Then I'll have to bother you for two more days. Your family is in a good situation, with both meat and fish." The leader introduced himself as Mr. Li, took out a small purse, and asked someone to bring out a small bag of rice.  Then he said: "Brother, thanks for the hospitality, this is food money for all of us."

    "Haha, to tell you the truth, I am destined to meet you. Our family has some wealth, otherwise we would not dare to invite people over casually. We have enough chicken, duck, and fish."

    Dalang originally didn¡¯t want to make money from them, but he also wanted to make friends with them. In the end, he only accepted one tael of silver, and he was not polite about the bag of rice.  After all, they have to go out and buy the rice they eat.

    Seeing how generous he was, Mr. Li also wanted to make friends with him.  They always have to walk back and forth on this road twice a year, but it is very inconvenient because there is no village or shop in front of them. They have always wanted to find a suitable resting place.  No matter what, he now had an extra friend. Thinking of this, he ordered someone to bring out some of the goods they were selling.  In fact, it's not a rarity, just some mid-grade tea leaves, but it's still a decent gift.

    Dalang was not polite to them. He collected a bag of tea and said: "From now on, you can take this road and come to our village to rest. I will never blackmail you. The food and accommodation are not comparable to those of an inn."  , at least it won¡¯t be any worse. Moreover, as time goes by, our village will gradually grow bigger and the conditions will only get better and better.¡±

    "I'll thank you first. I can bring you some new things next time. Is there anything you want that's hard to buy?" Boss Li started chatting with him enthusiastically.

    Dalang smiled and said: "There is one thing, I really want to ask you. Our village is planning to build a grocery store. We need needlework, thread, oil, salt, vinegar, tea, cloth and other things for daily use.  , it is very inconvenient for every household to go out to buy. Although we have horses, it takes more than three days to go to the nearest market."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Boss Li was a little surprised. There are only five households in this happy village, less than thirty people, and they still have to open a grocery store. Isn't this a waste?  If there were several villages around, this grocery store would be able to make some money.

    As if seeing what he was thinking, Dalang added: "Although our village currently only has five households, some families have not had time to move here. Not to mention opening a grocery store, I also plan to open a serious inn.  , it¡¯s specially designed for you, the passing merchants and tourists, to take a rest.¡±

    Boss Li became more serious now. He originally found that the farmers here seemed to be in good condition. After all, farmers with horses were very rare. In addition, every family was a brand-new big house. He felt more and more sorry for Da Lang.  They became curious and couldn't help but ask: "How much land do you have? I think you are at least a wealthy family."

    "Haha, to tell you the truth, our family is indeed considered wealthy. I have three younger brothers studying in the capital. Two of them are already graduates, and the youngest is also a scholar." Dalang laughed.

    As soon as these words came out, Boss Li and the people in the caravan were so shocked that they almost dropped their bowls. After working for a long time, they were not just a wealthy family. There were three scholars and two literati in the family. From now on, they would at least be regarded as  Official.  A family that can afford to support three scholars must have at least a thousand acres of fertile land.  No wonder Dalang said that he could eat whatever he wanted and his family was well off.

    Boss Li's mind was spinning, and after a while, he said: "It's really disrespectful. I asked you to call you big brother, but you have to call me master."

    "Don't be too polite. Just call me Chen Da here. My brothers don't have official positions and are still studying. The two of us are here mainly to protect our ancestral property. From now on, if my brothers become  Once you become an official, you can have a place to come back and worship your ancestors." Dalang said.

    In fact, not only his mother, but also Dabao¡¯s mother, and Ping¡¯er¡¯s father were buried on this line. They were not too far apart. He planned to move everyone here and gather them together.  In this way, it is easy to take care of during the holidays, and you can burn some paper money and incense candles for everyone.  There is no need to run around alone, there are people from the older generation visiting the graves, they are no longer lonely ghosts, and they can¡¯t get any incense from future generations.  Over the years, there have been too many things, and he has never fulfilled this wish. This year, he has to do it well, so this worry can be regarded as settled.

    "So, this place will become your Chen family's in the future." Boss Li said flatteringly.

    "No, it's just that we occupied some of it." Dalang smiled and didn't say anything.  How could this place belong to the Chen family, but at least part of it belongs to the Chen family, so there is no need to run away.  He wants to make this place the new base of King Yan.  How could King Yan be satisfied with Liangping Mansion alone?  When he came out this time, King Yan gave him this task.?At this time, it becomes even more important to open a grocery store in the village. Otherwise, if there is no salt at home, it will be troublesome to go out to buy it.

    With these live fish, Xinhu doesn¡¯t plan to prepare any more dishes. He just stews a large pot of fish and that¡¯s it.

    Xin Hu quickly picked up the two big fish. He first chopped off the fish bones and heads, then cleaned out the fish internal organs. He threw the fish oil into a pot and fried it, and then put the fish heads and bones with the small fish.  Throw them in and fry them until brown, then add a pot of water and start cooking. I grab a pickled cabbage from the jar, wash it and chop it into pieces, add dried chilies and stir-fry in another pot until fragrant, then add it to the soup pot and stew together.  .  She slowly sliced ??the remaining fish into thin slices and set it aside for later use.

    Coming from Luwei Village, everyone gave them a lot of home-made sauerkraut, pickles, dried chilies and other items, including more than a dozen jars.  If it were just for two of them, they wouldn't be able to finish it in a year.  It happened to be a bargain for the people in this caravan.

    Fish soup was simmering on the stove, and pancakes were being pasted on the stove. Xin Hu looked at the two pots alone, and it didn't look chaotic at all.  When a basket of cakes came out, Dalang and the others returned home with a full load.

    "Oh, it smells so good. What delicious food is Mrs. Chen making?" Boss Li took a sip of saliva and asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

    "It's just a pot of fish. Let's eat with all your heart and keep enough." Xin Hu said as he took out the fillets.

    The white fish fillets tumbled a few times in the boiling soup, and then Xin Hu picked them up and put them in two large basins, leaving only one bowl for her to eat.

    "Can we start dinner now?" Dalang asked as he brought the two baskets of prepared fish into the kitchen.

    "That's it. You take these two pots of fish out first, and then get the bowls, chopsticks and pancakes." Xin Hu said, picking up a few more cucumbers, patting them with a few knives, adding some minced garlic, and adding some salt.  , ordered two drops of sesame oil, mixed a large pot of cucumbers, and added another dish for everyone.

    Several grown men ate so hard that they wanted to swallow their tongues. This fish pot looked ordinary, but the soup was fresh and fragrant and very appetizing. The fish fillets were smooth and tender. Everyone was sweating profusely and exclaiming: "It's really delicious."  It's delicious, it's really delicious. Sister-in-law Chen's cooking skills are simply better than those of the chefs at Tianxiang House."

    Dalang thought, "Of course, my wife is praised by the emperor as one of the best cooks in the world. Isn't it delicious?" After eating Xinhu's cooking, he didn't believe that this caravan would not do it in the future.  Come to the village to eat and rest.  Maybe even help them spread the word.

    Not to mention that Xin Hu cooks this dish well, Ashin and Azhi¡¯s wife also cook well. Everyone has learned how to cook from Xin Hu before, and who doesn¡¯t know how to cook a few good dishes?  There is no difference, but the taste is not too different.  From now on, even if Xinhu is not here, they can entertain guests.

    Therefore, Dalang smiled and said: "This dish is the specialty of our village. Now go to other people's homes in the village to have a look. I guarantee that they also make this dish. People in our village, many housewives.  Make a good dish."

    "Oh, the people in your village are really blessed." Boss Li praised.

    "Come next time, if we are not at home, it is the same for you to eat at other people's homes. They can take care of it and greet you to your satisfaction." Dalang greeted in advance.

    Not to mention that next time he comes, he and Xin Hu will probably not be here. Even if they are here, he will not be able to let Xin Hu entertain everyone again.  He couldn't bear to let his wife suffer.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
