The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

Seeing Ye Yushan's face getting darker and darker, Ye Fanxing knew that she couldn't bear to watch this show any longer and had to step in to smooth things over.

"You don't want to refuse, and you don't want fifty cents. I'll give you a break, twenty-five cents, okay?"

Ye Fanxing never thought that his words would make Ye Yushan's expression even darker. He scratched his head in confusion. What was going on?

Song Haoming also realized that something was wrong here, and hurriedly called Ye Yushan to his side, and did not forget to instill in him the idea that "husbands' affairs should be resolved by the husbands themselves, and as grown men, they should just wait and see."

If he knew that Ye Yushan would tell him these words in the future, he would definitely keep his mouth shut now!

Listening to the laughter coming from the wall, the two so-called grown men looked at each other and said in their hearts that the feelings of a brother-in-law were really beyond their understanding.

……

In the azure blue sky of the afternoon, there are a few cotton-like clouds floating, moving with the wind and leaving their playful shadows through the sunlight.

Everyone in the Song family had a simple lunch and then began to prepare ingredients for entertaining guests in the evening.

When Zao Ge'er heard that Ye Fanxing was going to treat everyone with wild vegetables, his eyes suddenly widened.

He frowned as he looked at Xing Ge'er in front of him. Was it really true that the richer you are, the more stingy you are?

When Zao Ge'er saw him looking at him with his arms folded and a smile on his face, he always felt uneasy.

Later I thought that compared with the previous two receptions, the only person included in this reception was Ye Yongsheng, the head of the Ye family, who was not liked by Ye Fanxing!

He couldn't help but complain quietly on behalf of the others, saying that Qian Lizheng and the others really had no chance of enjoying the meal this time!

While Ye Fanxing was picking up the artemisia, she was thinking of the names of the dishes for tonight, "Sautéed meat with water celery, scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse, cold-mixed purslane, stir-fried dried tofu with wild onions, stir-fried artemisia, crucian carp and tofu soup."

He was very puzzled. This was not just a lack of enjoyment, this was simply a feast to the eyes!

These are all pure natural, pollution-free green foods. In modern times, none of them are cheap!

Apart from anything else, the artemisia in his hand was recorded in history books as being used exclusively by the imperial court, hence the name "Emperor's Dish".

The book Compendium of Materia Medica also recorded that Artemisia selengensis, also known as Artemisia vulgaris, is sweet, mild in nature, non-toxic, and can cure evil spirits in the five internal organs, wind-cold and dampness, tonify the middle and replenish qi, promote hair growth and blacken hair, and treat heart deficiency.

However, he did not explain these to Zao Ge'er, but just said, "This is called a health-preserving meal, a combination of meat and vegetables. Older people can only be healthy and live longer if they eat it!"

As for whether it is good for health or longevity, Zao Ge'er didn't think much about it. What made him think more was the combination of meat and vegetables.

Thinking of this, he wanted to take back what he had said before. There were six dishes, and three of them were meat. If it were at someone else's house, it would be nice to have one of them.

Just take the amount of meat we cut now, it’s almost as much as other people’s families use during the Chinese New Year!

He had been with Xing Ge'er for so long that he almost forgot the word "thrifty". Of course, this only applied to food...

The kitchen was still busy, but time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the afterglow of the setting sun passed through the clouds, and the golden orange light made everything seem as if it was coated with a layer of gold powder, making it look particularly magnificent.

Ye Yushan led Qian Lizheng and others into the courtyard and sat down. After Song Haoming, the host, greeted everyone, he talked about the reason for holding the banquet outside the house.

Everyone understood, after all, his small house couldn't accommodate so many people.

Of course, Ye Yongsheng was not one of them who understood. He had no sense of following the host's wishes and sneered at Song Haoming.

"Song boy, you want to imitate the ancients and pretend to be elegant, eat and enjoy the moon. I'm afraid you chose the wrong day, right?"

Song Haoming knew that today was the waning moon. "Patriarch Ye, you are joking. I am not a pretentious person, but if you want, I can have a chat with you by candlelight!"

Seeing that he could not win the argument with Song Haoming, Ye Yongsheng turned his attention to Ye Fanxing in the kitchen. He even raised his voice on purpose, as if he was afraid that his voice would not be heard in the kitchen.

"Hey, none of us needs meat, but we have to spend so much money. Song boy, if Xing Ge'er lives like this, how much money do you have to bring him disaster?"

"Patriarch Ye, what you said really chills my heart. How could I, such a thrifty person, be a spendthrift?"

As they spoke, Ye Fanxing, Shen Bai, Zao Ge'er, and Jiang Shuo'er, who were carrying dishes from the kitchen, placed the dishes on the table.

He couldn't help but feel jealous. He had heard that Xing Ge had treated Qian Lizheng twice, and both times he had treated him to delicious food and fish.

Why has the dish shrunk so much now that I’m here?

Qian Lizheng and others looked at Ye Yongsheng's face, which was like a color palette, and laughed in an unkind way.

Qian Lizheng, in particular, specially picked up some stir-fried pork with water celery and put it on Ye Yongsheng's plate.

Then he picked up another piece of pork belly and shook it twice at Ye Yongsheng, "Look at this meat. Tsk tsk, you are absolutely right. This kid really has no way of passing the test!"

Ye Yongsheng was like a suckling pig being roasted on a fire. He was being squeezed and didn't know what to say.

If you say it won't pass, there's nothing good on the table. If you say it will pass, don't you see the evidence hanging on Qian Lizheng's chopsticks!

He could only grit his teeth and said in a timid manner, "Eat quickly. It will be dark soon. Aren't you afraid of eating in the dark and getting your nose and eyes eaten?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai placed the three oil lamps in three locations closer to the dining table...

After that, Ye Yongsheng didn't say a word more. Even when others asked him questions, he just nodded in agreement. He was really afraid that he would be treated differently.

Although he endured the humiliation, he ate the most of this dish!

As for words of praise, of course, the petty-minded Ye Yongsheng was very stingy. He only gave one comment for the six dishes, which was that it was just okay!

Ye Fanxing was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply introduced what tonight's dishes were made of. As for the combination of medicine and food, he just brushed it off, after all, it was very troublesome to explain.

Just when Ye Yongsheng was eating so quietly that he didn't raise his head or open his eyes, Ye Fanxing told everyone that the three of them were planning to open a clothing and tailor shop. Then he saw Qian Lizheng and others with pessimistic expressions on their faces.

As for why I am not optimistic, it is mainly because I think the people in the village are poor, after all, they only have a few pieces of clothing throughout the year.

Ye Fanxing's main purpose in saying this was to hope that they would promote the business more when they returned home. After all, the main target customers of this business were their brothers, sisters, husbands and wives.

As for the big men in the village, they are all farmers, so they'd better stand aside for now!
