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

After the meat was prepared, Ye Fanxing asked Ye Yushan to accompany the two meat stall owners to deliver the meat to the backyard of Baohetang, and then drove a mule cart to Molinxuan study to meet up with his group.

Now that the adults have basically bought everything they wanted, it’s the children’s turn. You don’t have to worry about not having toys, but you can buy some books as rewards.

Besides, it’s freezing cold and children can’t run around outside, so staying at home and reading and learning is a good choice.

After entering the study, Xiao Nan began to frown, "Little Daddy, there are so many books, when can I finish reading them?"

"Yes, if you read one page a day, there are 365 days in a year, so you can read pages! Sooner or later, you can finish reading all of them in one day."

"Little Daddy, do I still have to study when I become an old grandfather?"

"Nan'er, studying is something you should learn until you die! Knowledge should be accumulated over time."

"Daddy, please tell me, what little daddy said is wrong!"

Xiao Nan threw himself on Song Haoming with anticipation. He hoped that his father could refute his little father. He didn’t want to study for so long!

What he waited for was the old father's affirmation of the young father's words.

"Your little daddy is right. Nan'er, you will go to school in two years. If you continue to be so naughty, you will be punished by the teacher."

Xiao Nan was deeply hurt by his two fathers and had no choice but to run to Jiang Shuoer. He thought he could get some comfort, but ended up suffering another blow.

He forgot that his brother Shuo was even more cunning than his father.

When Ye Yushan came to pick them up in a mule cart, it was time to settle the bill. Ye Fanxing bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a few enlightenment books, not the common "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Characters".

Instead, the books such as "Youxue Qionglin", "Qianjia Shi", "Di Zi Gui" and "Sound and Rhythm Enlightenment" have few words and are easy to understand. They can teach children to recognize words while learning some principles of how to behave in society.

Ye Fanxing didn't expect that Zao Ge'er also bought a book. He only saw that the title of the book was "Clouds and Moon". When he was about to reach out to take it, he was hugged in his arms by Zao Ge'er.

Song Haoming hurriedly stopped the young man, who was very curious about the book in Zao Ge'er's arms. If he looked through it, his young husband would probably blush with shame.

There are two kinds of books in the study that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

One is the book with a red cover and two characters in Zao Ge’s hand, which is suitable for Fu Fu’s fire avoidance map.

The other type is the book with a yellow cover and a three-character title, which is suitable for the boudoir pleasure between men and women.

Seeing that the young man was still curious, he could only distract him and ask, "Are we going home for lunch or in town?"

Speaking of food, Ye Fanxing originally planned to eat in town, but when he thought about the price of food in town, he was worried that he would go bankrupt!

"Go home! We're having hot pot today!"

After leaving the study, Ye Yushan drove a mule cart and took everyone to the blacksmith shop that Ye Fanxing mentioned.

All the custom-made items were loaded onto the carriage, and some additional ironware was purchased.

If the world had not been in chaos recently and the blacksmith had wanted to get his hands on the money, I'm afraid they would have been thrown into the government jail by now.

……

Most of the Ye family members in Daliu Village went to the town today, and they were all shocked by the price of grain in the town.

There were several families who were barely able to make ends meet, so they returned to the village and went straight to Ye Yongsheng's house to start making a fuss without saying a word!

"What are you fussing about! The crops in the fields are much more mature than those harvested earlier. If there's no crops, go harvest the fields!"

Ye Yongsheng basically just shouted. He is not a god, so how could he know that the price of food has increased so many times.

These are all trivial matters. The main thing is that his family doesn't have much food. What he regrets now is why he didn't buy some food at a low price at that time. He would have been able to make a lot of money now.

Seeing that Ye Yongsheng had relented, the families who had been making a fuss hurried to reclaim the land. The so-called "not having enough to eat" was false. The main reason was that someone in the town offered a high price to buy their grain, and they were tempted!

After returning home, Ye Fanxing baked ten sweet potatoes and gave them to everyone as a simple lunch dessert to fill their stomachs.

The main reason was that I had eaten a lot in the morning and was not very hungry, and also because the vegetables and meat for the hot pot were not ready yet.

From the meat he bought today, he picked out a piece of fatty and lean pork belly and gave it to Ye Yushan to cut into thin slices.

He, Zao Ge'er, and Shen Bai and his son carried baskets on their backs and went to the four acres of land that had been snatched away by the Ye family.

If I hadn’t thought of it inadvertently when I came back, I’m afraid the four acres of vegetables would have been wasted!

He has not taken care of the land since then. The grass has grown taller than the vegetables.

They searched carefully and found that the crops were mostly radishes, with some other side vegetables mixed in.

There are so many varieties, and many of them have just bloomed. As for the fruits, they will definitely not be ripe yet.

After Ye Fanxing filled the four backpacks they brought with them, he went to the Wang family and the Xu family and explained his purpose. He said that he would give the two families the edible parts of the four acres of land as a reward.

The reason he wanted those inedible plants was to feed the mules.

And they were also asked to clear the land today.

The Wang and Xu families felt that although Ye Fanxing said that it was for mule rations, they knew that he had a good heart and wanted to help their family.

Seeing that they agreed, Ye Fanxing returned home. If he knew that they thought of him this way, he would definitely say, you really think too much!

After returning home, the job of washing vegetables was given to Zao Ge'er Shen Bai, and Ye Fanxing began to stir-fry the hot pot base.

He had been planning to make a pot of clear soup, but thinking that it was midnight tonight and early winter was about to arrive, he thought it would be better to stir-fry the soup base.

Fry more and use it to cook noodles in cold weather. It is delicious and warms the body.

Put lard into the pan, add ginger, scallions and garlic oil when the oil is hot to enhance the flavor. Pour the spices that have been soaked in warm water beforehand into the pan and stir-fry.

Add appropriate sauce and sauté until fragrant.

"Xing Ge'er, this smells so good!"

"It smells good already? Won't it make you cry when it smells good when it's out of the pot?"

Ye Fanxing was talking to Zao Ge'er without delaying his movements.

I put a little bit of sugar and the peppercorns I bought from Baohetang today into the pot, looked at the fire under the stove, and started to simmer it slowly until the hot pot base slowly changed color.

Ye Fanxing rummaged around in the kitchen again and finally found a bottle of aged wine.

Zao Ge'er thought that this was something he would drink in the evening, but unexpectedly, he saw Xing Ge'er pouring the wine into the pot.

After turning off the heat, covering the pot and simmering for ten minutes, the aroma was so fragrant that Brother Zao was drooling.

Ye Fanxing pushed Zao Ge'er with amusement, "Go and light up two small stoves, we're ready to have fun!"

"Have fun?"

Unable to explain clearly, Ye Fanxing directly pushed Zao Ge'er out of the kitchen. As for what "shabu-shabu" means, he decided to explain it with practical actions!
