Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Xu Damao walked back proudly with the twenty yuan given by He Yuzhu. When the crowd saw that there was nothing fun to watch, they gradually dispersed and went back to their homes.

Yan Jiefang followed his father back home. Seeing that his mission was completed, Yan Jiefang wondered, where is my novice gift pack?

Yan Jiefang called the system in his mind: "System, I have completed my mission, why don't you open the novice gift pack for me?"

"Ding, it is detected that the host's novice mission has been completed, and the novice gift package is now opened."

"Ding, the novice gift package is opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a mysterious space, a special chef skill book, and twenty great unity cards."

Yan Jiefang focused his attention on the mysterious space, and his consciousness directly entered the space.

The interior of the space is like another small world. Half of it is fertile land, about several hundred acres, and the other half is a forest with lush and thick trees. In the middle is a small lake with clear water that you can see the bottom of the lake at a glance.

Then a stream of information flowed into Yan Jiefang's mind, giving him a full understanding of this mysterious space. In this space, Yan Jiefang is the master of this small world and can control everything with his mind.

The time ratio with the outside world can be adjusted in space. You can stand still, and the space will remain still no matter how long the outside world spends. You can also adjust the time to a maximum of 30:1, that is, 30 days pass in space for only one day in the outside world.

Any crops can be planted on the space land and in the forest, and livestock breeding can also be carried out.

We had just gone through three years of natural disasters and severe food shortages, and were about to enter that decade again. With this space, Yan Jiefang's life would definitely be quite good in the future.

His consciousness withdrew from the mysterious space, and Yan Jiefang clicked on the super chef skill book with his consciousness. The skill book flashed a ray of light like a meteor and entered Yan Jiefang's mind.

Memories kept pouring in, and the scenes of cooking each dish reappeared in my mind, as if I had experienced it myself.

The various cooking techniques and cooking experiences of the eight major cuisines, Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and Anhui cuisines are fully integrated into Yan Jiefang's body.

All the information related to food ingredients was also passed to him, including the identification and processing methods of various vegetables, fruits, meats, condiments, etc.

Yan Jiefang fell in love with eyes and seriously experienced the benefits that the special chef skill book brought him. Now he is a top chef. In addition, he has the space to provide him with protection. In the days to come, even if there are no tasks in the system, he will be able to thrive.

Twenty big unity tickets are also a considerable fortune. Considering the 27.5 yuan salary of his father, the third uncle Yan Bugui, he would have to work for eight months without eating or drinking to earn that much money.

He took out twenty Great Unity tickets and put them into the mysterious space, and also put in one dollar that he had saved for several years.

The next morning, Yan Jiefang was woken up by his second aunt while he was still asleep. The aunt said, "Jiefang, go to Lijia Village in the suburbs and find the village chief Li. Use your food coupons to exchange some sweet potatoes with him. Your father has already made an agreement with him. If you give him the food coupons, he will give you the sweet potatoes he has prepared."

Yan Jiefang woke up in a daze and was speechless. He thought, you two are worthy of being a couple. I had been planning to sleep in this weekend, but one of you went fishing and the other one traded food, and your plan of sleeping in was ruined.

Hearing what his mother said, Yan Jiefang did not object. He was still thinking about finding an excuse to ride his father's bicycle to the countryside yesterday. Unexpectedly, his mother had already found an excuse before he could even open his mouth.

"Okay, give me the food coupons and I'll go right away." Yan Jiefang put on his clothes, took the food coupons and went out without any hesitation.

Seeing her son agree so readily, the third aunt was a little uncomfortable. According to the temperament of her second son, he would have refused and asked for some benefits before going. But today he was a little abnormal, so she said to the third uncle: "Boss, our second son actually agreed so readily, I am a little uncomfortable!"

The uncle sitting next to him, Yan Bugui, was also puzzled. After thinking for a while, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh no! Is this brat going to ride my bike? I can't let him ride away. I still have to go fishing on my bike!"

Sure enough, before the third uncle and his wife walked out of the door, Yan Jiefang's voice came in.

"Dad, I took your bike away. If you want to go fishing today, you'd better walk."

"This little bastard doesn't consider his father at all. When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson." said the third uncle Yan Bugui.

The third aunt rolled her eyes at the third uncle Yan Bugui and said, "Boss, stop it. You can only catch one or two fish a day when you go fishing, which is not enough for our family to eat. You might as well plant some spring onions and cilantro in your flower pots if you have that time!"

During this period, the third aunt also discovered that every time her second son and the head of the family went out fishing, they would return with a full load, but when the head of the family went out alone, he might return empty-handed, as the harvest was not very big anyway.

After knowing Yan Jiefang's ability, the third aunt also started to pay attention to what Yan Jiefang said. When she heard him complain last night that planting flowers was not as good as planting some green onions, the third aunt took note of it, and so she said to the third uncle just now.

But when the third uncle Yan Bugui heard this, he thought it made sense. He could hardly afford to eat, so why bother fiddling with these flowers? It would be better to grow some vegetables and add some dishes to his family.

"Mother, you make sense. Why didn't I think of that? I'll plant some green onions, coriander and leeks in the flowerpots today." The third uncle Yan Bugui felt a little annoyed. He was famous for his calculations, but he hadn't thought of this matter.

On the other side, Yan Jiefang rode his bicycle to Lijia Village.

"Uncle, let me ask you something!"

Before Yan Jiefang entered the village, he saw an old man sitting in a field resting, so he took the initiative to talk to the old man.

"Young man, who are you and what do you want to do in our village?"

The old man looked at Yan Jiefang with vigilance, as if he was guarding against a bad guy.

Yan Jiefang was also speechless. I just wanted to ask for directions. Why are you so vigilant? I'm not a bad person.

There is a reason why the old man remains so vigilant. Now that the People's Republic of China has been established for more than ten years, enemy spy forces have been lurking among the people. If we are not careful, the enemy spies and bad elements will carry out sabotage.

"Uncle, I want to find the village chief of your village. He and my father have made an appointment. I will come to your village to find him today." Yan Jiefang replied.

Hearing Yan Jiefang say that his father had an appointment with the village chief, the old man looked at Yan Jiefang seriously and said, "Is your father Mr. Yan Bugui? I am Li Youfu, the village chief of Lijia Village."

"Hello, Village Chief Li. My father is Yan Bugui." Yan Jiefang looked around and whispered, "My father told me to give you the food coupons, and then you will know what to do."

"Come with me, the food is at my house!"

After Village Chief Li finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the village.

Yan Jiefang pushed his bicycle and followed Village Chief Li to his home. He then took out the food coupons that Yan Bugui had given him and placed them in front of Village Chief Li.

Village Chief Li picked it up and looked at it, then nodded, looked at Yan Jiefang and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll get the sweet potato out for you."

Seeing that Village Chief Li was about to take the sweet potatoes, Yan Jiefang stopped him and said, "Village Chief Li, don't be in a hurry. It was my father and you who agreed to exchange the food coupons for sweet potatoes. I also want you to do me a favor, okay?"

Village Chief Li turned around and looked at Yan Jiefang with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He said, "Tell me what I can help you with. I'll do my best to help you."

"Village Chief Li, I want to buy some grain, fruit, and vegetable seeds. The quantity doesn't have to be much, just five catties of each grain and a few ounces of vegetable seeds. If you don't have fruit seeds, a few saplings will be fine."

Yan Jiefang added at the end, "I bought them all with my own money."

Village Chief Li did not hesitate and said directly: "Okay, my family has some grain and vegetable seeds, but I don't have any ideas for fruit seedlings. You can go to Qinjia Village to have a look."

Yan Jiefang took note of it silently, thinking to himself, this Qinjia Village couldn't be the hometown of the white lotus Qin Huairu. His cousin Qin Jingru seemed to be a pretty and simple country girl. Although a little silly, she obeyed her husband's words and had no bad intentions at all. In Yan Jiefang's opinion, it would be a good idea to marry such a girl.

"Village Chief Li, please take a look at what seeds you have at home and prepare some for me," said Yan Jiefang.

"Okay, sit down for a while, I'll go find some seeds for you."

Village chief Li said hello and went out to help Yan Jiefang get seeds.

About half an hour later, Village Chief Li brought over a pile of bags and slowly placed them on the ground.

When Yan Jiefang saw this, he immediately stood up, walked towards Village Chief Li, and asked, "Village Chief Li, what kinds of seeds are there? It looks like there are a lot!"

Village Chief Li raised his lips slightly and said with a bit of pride: "These are all the results of my hard work. Originally, our Lijia Village did not have so many kinds of food and vegetables. I went to other villages to exchange them for them."

"Let me tell you about it." Village Chief Li said as he separated the seeds he had just brought over one by one, and said seriously: "Grain seeds include wheat, dry rice, millet, corn, sweet potatoes, and honey potatoes."

After showing the grain seeds to Yan Jiefang one by one, Village Chief Li put them in a snakeskin bag. Then he took the vegetable seeds and showed them to him one by one, including coriander, onion, cabbage, spinach, potatoes and soybeans.

After wrapping the seeds, they were placed in a snakeskin bag, weighing about fifty kilograms.

"Village Chief Li, how much are these things?" Yan Jiefang asked.

Village Chief Li calculated for a while and said, "I won't take advantage of you. Give me eight dollars for this bag of stuff!"

Yan Jiefang happily took out eight yuan and gave it to Village Chief Li. If he sold the things that Village Chief Li prepared for him at the Pigeon Market, he might not be able to buy them even with ten yuan.

At this time, you need a ticket to buy anything, but you can buy it from Village Chief Li, which saves him a lot of trouble.

After tying the two bags onto the bicycle, Yan Jiefang said gratefully, "Village Chief Li, thank you very much. If you have anything to ask, you can come to the Red Star Courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang to find me. I'll be leaving now."

Yan Jiefang rode his bike towards Sijiu City.
