Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Now that things have come to this, Yan Yiyi is somewhat tempted. Their family wants to improve their quality of life and occasionally give out some things, but it is really not justifiable to rely solely on the mountain behind.

It is indeed reasonable that the family has opened a shop in the county and has a source of income.

If you want to hire someone to look after the store, you can ask your two "cousins" to help introduce them. The people they find are more reliable than those you find yourself.

Yan Yiyi nodded: "The suggestions from the two cousins ​​are very good, but if we only sell chili sauce, the chili sauce we have is not enough. We need to think about it carefully."

When Chen Yong and Xu Jianuo looked at Yan Yiyi, they showed a gratified expression of "a teachable child", and then began to give her advice, such as selling some sweet potato vegetables, mountain mushrooms, game, and also buying some goods to sell like a grocery store.

It's true, after being reminded by them, Yan Yiyi thought it would be a good idea to open a small store. If the family hunts wild game and can't eat all the leftovers, she can ask her employees to set up a stall to sell it. Or if the family can't eat all the vegetables they grow, she can give some away to sell.

If villagers want to buy eggs and vegetables, they can sell them to her at a lower price. The eggs can be displayed in the shop, and the vegetables can be made into dried vegetables or pickled vegetables.

You can sell the goods whenever you have them, and you can also hire Aunt Qi and others to help you, increase their family income, etc.

Anyway, they have the money to buy a small shop, and the money will just sit there anyway, so they might as well buy a shop and tell others that it was rented to them by their cousin's family.

The more I think about it, the better the idea seems.

The donkey cart swayed back to the Dashan Village. After Xin Ye settled the donkey, he went to the kitchen to make lunch. Chen Yong and Xu Jianuo did as they said. They went into the Li family's house, drank a cup of tea, and asked Li's father to find a hoe to open up the wasteland.

How could Father Li watch the two adults work in the fields while he stayed at home to rest? He picked up his tools and followed.

Three middle-aged men were working hard in the fields under the scorching sun.

Yan Yiyi went to dig some yam and came back to cook for Xin Ye, including yam bone soup, fried yam with pork slices, and braised yam chicken. The chopped pepper fish head and boiled fish fillets ordered by the two cousins ​​were indispensable, and finally there was the fried sweet potato leaves with garlic.

After lunch, the two adults took a break and were about to go to open up the wasteland. Xin Ye immediately stopped them: "Uncle! We will use three acres of land for experimentation. You two can take a break. Three acres of land is not much, there is no rush."

Seeing that they finally gave in, Chen Yong and Xu Jianuo looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They went to dig yams when the sun was setting in the afternoon. The yams they dug out were not as big as those on the mountain, but they were also good. Several good friends gave them two yams each to try.

They were not polite either. One family gave some home-grown vegetables, another gave some eggs, and Uncle Gu gave bacon. In short, Uncle Li accepted them all.

From that day on, Chen Yong and Xu Jianuo went to Dashan Village whenever they had free time. In addition to seeing with their own eyes how sweet potatoes were cultivated and planted, they also wanted to supervise the couple and make sure they didn't waste the sweet potatoes.

When visiting my eldest nephew's house, unique farm dishes are a must. The two of us have gained two pounds of weight without realizing it during this period of time.

While Chen Yong was enjoying the "farmhouse fun" at Li's house, the runners sent by him to deliver the letter to the capital, Wang the Sweet Potato, arrived safely.

Wang the yamen runner was wearing his regular clothes. This time the magistrate had specifically told him not to show off and to secretly find his good friend to deliver the letter.

According to the address given by the magistrate, he simply ate a bowl of noodles at the stall and then went to the magistrate's former classmate, Ren Huaimin.

Wang Yayi

Instead of going to the Sinong Temple to look for someone, he went to Ren Huaimin's home. Although Ren Huaimin was an official in the capital, he was only a seventh-rank official, and he lived in an ordinary courtyard.

After knocking on the door for a while, a woman in her thirties came to open the door. The woman looked at the man in front of her carefully and confirmed that she did not know him: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Madam, I am a subordinate of Mr. Ren's classmate. My surname is Wang. I am entrusted by my master, whose surname is Chen, to deliver a letter to Mr. Ren. This letter needs to be delivered to Mr. Ren in person. May I ask, Madam, when will Mr. Ren return home?"

"He is on duty at the lower half of the You hour. Go find him at Sinong Temple."

"Okay, thank you ma'am for telling me. Sorry for disturbing you, bye." Wang, the yamen servant, bowed and immediately turned around to find an inn nearby to stay in.

After the woman closed the door, she realized, "Huh? Since the other party knew Lao Ren, why didn't they go directly to Sinong Temple to find him?"

However, now that things have come to this, we can only wait until Lao Ren comes back in the evening.

At the hour of You, Wang Yayi did not go to Sinong Temple to look for anyone, but waited at the door of Ren Huaimin's house. He waited for half an hour before Ren Huaimin's carriage came back.

Wang Ya Shi immediately stepped forward, saluted and introduced himself, and then asked, "May I have a moment to talk to you, sir?"

"Come with me to the study." Ren Huaimin invited the person into the house. The woman came to greet her man. She was relieved to find that the man she saw in the afternoon was following Ren Huaimin.

Just be good as long as you are not a bad person.

When he returned to the study, it was already dark. Ren Huaimin lit a candle and the study instantly became bright. Wang, the yamen runner, immediately took the letter from his arms and solemnly handed it to Ren Huaimin.

Apart from the normal greetings at the beginning, Chen Yong did not waste any words. He gave a detailed account of how the villagers in a village under his jurisdiction had discovered a new crop and successfully planted it, achieving a high yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu.

He also emphasized that he had eaten it and that it was delicious. He also described in detail the different ways in which it had been cooked and how it tasted, with his tone full of boasting.

Ren Huaimin swallowed his saliva while reading the letter. You know, he had been busy all afternoon and finally got home. He was still hungry, and now he saw such a tempting letter!

"Gurgle~" The stomach indicates that it is tempted by the delicious food in the letter.

Ren Huaimin was slightly embarrassed, his ears were slightly red, and he looked at Wang the yamen runner and asked, "The letter said that you brought sweet potatoes, where are they?"

Wang, the yamen runner, immediately untied the bundle, placed it on his desk and opened it. There was a layer of cloth wrapped inside. After opening it, he saw that the roots of each sweet potato were clearly visible and covered with mud. It was obvious that they were dug from the ground and packed directly without being washed.

Ren Huaimin asked tentatively: "Have you ever eaten sweet potatoes?"

Wang nodded truthfully and began to count the sweet potato feasts he had eaten with the county magistrate at the Li family. He then concluded, "That family also gave me some sweet potatoes. I know how to steam them. Would you like to try some, sir?"

Ren Huaimin looked at the package and saw that there were only a dozen or twenty sweet potatoes. He gritted his teeth and took three of them to him: "Thank you for your help, Brother Wang. Let's have dinner at my house later."

"Yes, then I will obey your command."

Ren Huaimin personally led Wang the servant to the kitchen and watched him wash the sweet potatoes and then steam them directly in the pot.

When it was almost done steaming, a really sweet smell came out, attracting Ren Huaimin's whole family to come over. They hadn't even had their meal yet because they were waiting for Ren Huaimin!
