After sorting out a bunch of things, Chen Tong and Chen Ning ran to the mountain to dig grass for pigs while it was still early. The three children were very busy and were not idle at all.

Thinking about the walnut meat buns and seafood soup, Cheng Yue went to the kitchen to get busy.

Now she doesn't have to make braised food every day. She can just make a big pot every few days and put it in the space. Anyway, the space can keep it fresh and at a constant temperature, so it's a waste not to use it.

Cheng Yue had just fermented the dough and was about to mince the meat when she heard a group of people shouting outside the door.

Her home is on the mountain and normally no one would come up there, let alone a group of people. I don’t know what’s going on?

Cheng Yue put down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands and walked out. She saw the head of the village with an eager look on his face, followed by a group of villagers, mostly men.

"Oh my, Chen An's family really has an extra cow!"

"It's incredible! I said that when the old man came, he was leading the cow, but when he left, it was gone. He really gave it to Chen An and the others!"

When Mr. Chen San asked about Cheng Yue's family at the entrance of the village, they were all shocked. They thought that Cheng Yue had offended someone in his business.

It’s no wonder they thought so. They had only been to the town a few times, so how could they have seen a wealthy man driving a horse-drawn carriage?

Even if they had seen him, they wouldn't have dared to imagine that he would come to their poor mountain village. Apart from thinking that he had offended someone, they couldn't think of any other involvement.

As a result, the master went to Chen An's house and the cow he was pulling behind him disappeared. He knew it was a good thing, so he came up to watch the fun.

Listening to the villagers' exclamations, Cheng Yue finally understood that they were all here to see the cows.

No wonder they make a fuss about nothing. The degree of excitement when someone gets a cow is the same as when someone bought a luxury car in the 1970s.

The village head touched the big yellow cow lovingly and sighed, "This cow is well-built, with thick legs and a big butt. You can tell it's strong! Chen An, what's wrong with this cow?"

When the village head asked, Chen An didn't want to hide anything and told the truth about Mr. Chen San giving him the cow. At the end, he said, "So this cow is specially given by Mrs. Chen to thank Ah Yue."

As soon as Chen An finished speaking, the villagers looked at Cheng Yue with different eyes.

They all knew that Cheng Yue was doing business, but they never imagined that her craftsmanship was so good that she caught the eye of a rich lady in the county?

The head of the village smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Good, good, good, very good."

Chen An's wife has this ability, so their family can live a good life.

It’s an honor for him as the head of the village to have such a great person in the village!

The villagers were extremely envious, but they knew nothing about doing business. How could everyone have this ability?

A group of people surrounded the big yellow cow, looking at it from left to right, and they liked it more and more.

Suddenly a man shouted, "Hey, Brother Chen An, you need to build a cowshed, or the cows will get sick if it rains."

This man is not afraid of getting wet in the rain, but it will be bad if the cow gets sick.

The bullpen needed to be built, but there was no time to find someone to do it. If it weren't for his leg condition, it would have been built in one afternoon.

Just as Chen An was about to speak, the man continued, "Since so many of us are here, we can just build the cowshed for you. It will only take a while, so you don't have to look for people!"

"Yeah, let's help and get it done together!"

Chen An thought it didn't matter who he asked for the job, so since the other party had asked, he agreed.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Tieniu to help you guys. Even though it's not easy to build this cowshed, we'll pay you accordingly. It won't be a waste of your time."

Li Tieniu waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, why do we need to pay for building a cowshed? We are all from the same village. Isn't this a joke on us?"

Other villagers also echoed: "That's right, we have a lot of people, we can fix it for you in no time, what's the big deal?"

"Yes, we are all from the same village. Why should we be so fussy about just helping someone out?"

Seeing the villagers getting along harmoniously, the village head was happy and joked: "I don't know what you are thinking, you just can't bear to see the cows suffer!"

Everyone laughed awkwardly. Although the cows were not theirs, they all shared the same feeling of cherishing them.

The head of the village said, "Okay, hurry up and do it, otherwise it will rain tonight."

After saying that, the village head took the other villagers away, and Li Tieniu and seven or eight other men started working enthusiastically.

Cheng Yue went into the kitchen and made some sugar water, one bowl for each person.

The men took a sip and smacked their lips with their eyes lighting up. Chen An's wife was so generous that she actually made sugar water for them to drink!

With a sweet taste in my mouth, I feel more energetic when working.

Cheng Yue saw this, thought about it and went back into the kitchen. If she didn't want the wages, then she didn't want them, at least she could just cook something.

She had to make buns anyway, so she might as well make more. If there weren't enough walnut petals, she could make some with pure meat and put a few in each of their portions.

At the same time, the villagers who came down the mountain were also sighing.

"When Chen An's family was separated, we thought they would suffer in the future. Look at them now, we never expected it!"

"That is to say, they already have an ox cart, and Chen An's wife is also capable. She is going to turn things around!"

One woman wondered, "Why didn't you see Chen An's wife had this skill before? Now that the family has split up, she has become so skilled?"

"What else could it be? In my opinion, Chen An's wife is smart. Think about it, if she had revealed it before, would we still be able to split up the family and live a good life today?"

"How can her brain not work? Her father is a scholar. Scholars are different from us. It's only a matter of time before she can turn things around."

As they talked, the topic turned to reading. The last time they weighed sweet potato flour, they saw that the two Chen siblings were all good at writing and counting.

Unlike them, who are blind and their children have to dig for food in the fields all their lives. Well, it’s different if you can read.

"Speaking of which, Chen An is lucky to have found a good wife."

"We were all wrong before. We thought that her mother was a butcher and didn't dare to ask for her hand in marriage. Otherwise, this blessing would have been ours."

After saying this, several women laughed. Forget it, even if they were lucky enough, they might not be able to keep it. They could only envy secretly.

Besides, they are not without any luck. They also benefited from Cheng Yue's exchange for sweet potato noodles.

Cheng Yue is capable and kind-hearted. She thinks of them when good things happen. Isn't this a blessing?

Thinking of this, a group of people went down the mountain happily, hoping that Cheng Yue would become as capable as possible.

Cheng Yue, who was being discussed by the villagers, had no idea about this and was busy making a fire and steaming buns.

The men over there moved quickly, and in a short while, only a roof was left for the simple cowshed.

The meaty aroma of the buns wafted out in waves, and the men's stomachs instantly growled. What's that smell? It smells so good!

The few of them swallowed their saliva and quickened their pace in tacit understanding.

We have to finish the shed before dinner, otherwise it will seem like we are trying to get a free meal, which would be so embarrassing.

But the fragrance was so strong that it made their noses go limp.

It’s still early, why is Cheng Yue cooking dinner now? It’s really tormenting!
