Yan Zhengxing was a little stunned for a moment. Did he really not know all this? No, maybe he did know it.

But what good would he get from going to his eldest brother and making trouble... At most, he would be kicked out by his eldest sister-in-law with a broom again and again.

And those brothers from his eldest sister-in-law's family, no matter how he was washed away by the water, or how he came back.

He didn't want to blame anyone, but he almost lost his life. When he returned home, he found that his two brothers had separated the family business. What should he do if no one took responsibility for this? He couldn't just blame himself for his bad luck.

"Don't cause trouble for yourself at your age. You can't afford to offend your fourth brother now."

"Alas, if you had been more open-minded, you would still have had a brother to hang out with. You wouldn't be living alone like now."

Yan Zhengxing was extremely depressed after being pointed out so clearly.

Needless to say, he would never mess with his fourth brother's family again. Last year, he was arrested and thrown into jail for several days because of buying land, and he was scared out of his wits.

No matter how depressed he was, the new house of the Yan family was bustling with activity. Zhao Guizhi had no time to prepare meals these days because she was busy harvesting beans.

It took four days to collect the goods here, and the warehouse was finally full, and then things finally calmed down.

After working for several days, Zhao Guizhi prepared a sumptuous meal. She had been reluctant to use oil in her cooking before, but today she was particularly willing to do so.

I just heard Chu Xiao say that he had money, so I didn't really plan to take these to the county town to sell them. I just wanted to buy some of them this year while the price was low, and then sell them when the price of miscellaneous beans was high next year. The profit from this combined purchase and sale would be close to 20%.

Food prices have always fluctuated, especially when compared with staple foods like rice, wheat, brown rice and barley, the fluctuations are even greater.

Buy at a low price and sell at a high price, but it takes some time to wait. It would be a lie to say that Zhao Guizhi was not tempted. She even wanted to buy more, but Yan Zhenshen said that buying too much would be too eye-catching, not to mention that there were not that many people who really grew beans in the surrounding villages.

Now, after four days of harvest, the crops in the nearby villages should have been sold out.

Zhao Guizhi was so happy that she unconsciously hummed a little tune while cooking, the same kind she usually sang to coax Xiao Yuer to sleep.

She added plenty of seasonings to the braised duck, and even used a strong wine to remove the fishy smell, but it was much more expensive than the tasteless wine she usually used when cooking.

The pork fried with peppers is made with half fat and half lean pork, and a lot of peppers are added to make it very flavorful.

A bowl of vegetable and tofu soup with a few drops of oil in it, with a little bit of oiliness, it looks like it will taste good.

She also steamed the fish, which is something farmers seldom do because if it’s not done well, the fishy smell will be very strong.

But Chu Xiao had nothing better to do than whisper a few recipes to her and tell her what seasonings to add. Not only did the dish not have any fishy smell, but the meat was also very tender.

"This tastes really good." Zhao Guizhi originally had a light taste, and she was more accustomed to the taste of braised spicy food. "Xiao brother, if you have any new recipes, tell me and I will make it for you."

Chu Xiao carefully spit out the fish bone in his mouth before speaking: "Let me think about it."

Although there are several cookbooks in his space, not all dishes can be made immediately. Many of them are missing some raw materials, so he has to find substitutes first.

However, Chu Xiao felt that the variety of food nowadays was enough, and there was really no need to think about those things.

However, he felt that it was unnecessary. But he had a greedy girl at home. The look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Xiao was full of anticipation.

Nowadays, the family no longer wants to know why Chu Xiao knows so much. It is enough to know that he is a good person.

Besides, if you really have a husband who is both prosperous and capable, I don’t know how many people will envy you.

When Yan Sanmei thought about the abundant food she would have if she followed Brother Xiao, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

But then she thought that she would be fourteen after the New Year, and girls had to get married at that age, so she might not be able to eat for many more years. She regretted very much why she was a girl. If she was a man, as long as her eldest brother didn't say anything about dividing the family, she could eat for a few more years.

Naturally, no one would pay attention to her little thoughts. If people knew that she didn't want to get married just for a bite of food, she would probably be laughed at to death.

The whole family enjoyed this meal very much, with dishes of all kinds of flavors.

The men in my family have strong tastes and will eat an extra bowl of rice if there is a spicy dish.

Although there is no shortage of meat at home now, perhaps because there was too little oil and water in the past few years, no one in the family would actually leave the meat and choose to eat the clear soup and side dishes instead.

A duck, a pound of meat, and a fish weighing more than three pounds. I ate as much as I could and it seemed like there was nothing left.

Even the chili peppers were eaten up by the father and son with their meal without leaving any trace.

Yan Zhengdao was very full and burped several times: "That's because your second brother is not here, otherwise neither of us would be able to eat much of this plate of chili."

Zhao Guizhi was cleaning up the dishes. When she heard what he said, she glared at him angrily: "Aren't you afraid of getting a sore throat after eating too much chili?"

"I don't eat it often." Yan Zhengdao patted his full belly and said, "The last time I ate chili peppers was during the autumn harvest. The second child ate half a plate by himself, and I didn't even have time to pick up a few chopsticks."

There was an inexplicable sense of grievance in saying this.

"How old are you and you are still so greedy." Zhao Guizhi didn't care whether he felt wronged or not. As a good mother, she would naturally think about her children first. As for her husband, he should be of the same mind as her and think about the children first and then himself.

This idea has been deeply rooted in the minds of most parents since ancient times, and Zhao Guizhi is no exception.

"Okay." Yan Zhengdao nodded repeatedly. His wife had to take care of everything at home and outside, and he would not refute what she said.

"I pickled a lot of chilies this year. I'll give you a few every two or three days."

It’s not that Zhao Guizhi couldn’t bear to part with those things, the main reason was that Yan Zhengdao couldn’t eat spicy food or drink alcohol during the eight years he was sick.

Although the illness is cured now, I still can't help but feel a little worried. If I don't let him eat at all, I'm afraid the old man will drool out of greed.

So Zhao Guizhi could only control herself and try not to do those things when her son was not at home.

"Oh, that's great." Yan Zhengdao smiled and raised his eyebrows at his wife.

Zhao Guizhi sneered, "How old are you? You are still so frivolous."

Yan Zhengdao didn't care what his wife said and raised his eyebrows several times. The way he tried to make his wife laugh really reminded Zhao Guizhi of her youth. She couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth and burst out laughing.

Yan Zhenshen, who hadn't had time to leave yet, said: "..."

Is this something he can see?
