What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Jamel Xiao saw him and went up to him and asked, "Are you kneeling on the washboard again?"

Tao Quan glared at him and said, "Stop gloating over my misfortune. This is your sister-in-law's unique love for me. You know nothing. Lead the way. I want to see my wife."

Jamel Xiao: "Your wife is chatting with my wife, you'd better not go in, otherwise you will be kicked out like me."

Tao Quan: "...You guys won't fight, right?"

Jamel Xiao: "Do you want them to fight? I'll go tell my sister-in-law."

"Get back here."

Qin Jinhua is a community veteran. Although it was the first time she met Ye Tang, they were able to get along like friends. It was not until Xu Meilan came over and told them that they could set the table for dinner that Ye Tang brought Qin Jinhua out of the main hall.

"Madam!" Tao Quan had been waiting outside. The moment he saw Qin Jinhua, he immediately ran over.

Qin Jinhua glared: "Why are you here?"

Tao Quan: "Jing Xuan is moving to a new house, how can I not come? Come on, set the table and let's go grab a good seat."

Ye Tang said hurriedly: "I will arrange a good position for you."

There are thirty tables for today's banquet. The courtyard of the new house is very wide, so all of them can be set up at once.

The sun was shining brightly, and Ye Tang arranged a shady place for Tao Quan and his wife to sit. Sitting at the table with them were the two elders, Ye Tang, Xiao Jingxuan, the nanny sent by Su Yanyun, Ye Peng and others.

When the ice jelly was served, Qin Jinhua looked at it with a puzzled look in her eyes: "What is this?"

Tao Quan brought the ice jelly to her: "This is the ice jelly I told you about last night. It's icy and cool, sweet and not greasy. It's a great delicacy to cool down in the hot summer. Try it."

The Ye family's braised food and ice jelly, the Xiao family's tofu, cold noodles and other things have long been selling like hot cakes in the county town. He tried a little in his spare time and fell in love with the taste of these delicacies. He eats them almost every day, especially the ice jelly. He would go to Ye Ping'an every day to drink two big bowls of them.

When Qin Jinhua came over last night, it was already too late and he only had time to give her a taste of his tofu.

There are many kinds of tofu in Xiao's family, including dried tofu, tofu skin, moldy tofu, stinky tofu, tofu brain, water tofu, vegetable tofu...

Today's banquet includes a dish of minced meat stuffed tofu.

Old Mrs. Zeng smiled and told Qin Jinhua: "Madam, this is our special delicacy. You can't buy it anywhere else."

Ye Tang also said: "If sister-in-law likes it, you can take some with you when you leave later."

Under their expectant gaze, Qin Jinhua took a bite of the ice jelly. The sweet and sour aroma of fruit, the sweet taste of sugar water, and the cool feeling of ice jelly, all kinds of flavors instantly spread in her mouth.

This novel way of eating made Qin Jinhua's beautiful eyes light up slightly.

She ate bite after bite with great grace.

"It's delicious." Qin Jinhua praised.

Tao Quan picked up another piece of minced meat stuffed tofu for her: "Try this one too. This is the first time I've seen it eaten this way."

As he spoke, he also picked up a piece of tofu for himself and took a bite: "Fragrant, smooth, and delicate in texture, really good."

Seeing this, Qin Jinhua also tasted it and said, "It is truly a delicacy."

She said to Jamel Xiao: “The chef you hired is very good at cooking.”

Master Xiao Wu smiled and said, "It's not that the cook is good at cooking, it's that Sixth Brother's wife taught him well. She taught the cook how to eat tofu. The cooks who cooked today are all rough guys."

Qin Jinhua's eyes brightened when she looked at Ye Tang.

Jamel Xiao instantly felt a sense of crisis coming towards him.

Tao Quan and Qin Jinhua really didn't expect that the dishes prepared at the small rural housewarming party would be so delicious. Although the villagers around them didn't eat in a very nice way and were very vulgar and noisy, it created a great atmosphere.

This informal atmosphere has a more down-to-earth feel than those lavish banquets in the capital.

It was Qin Jinhua's first time to experience this kind of countryside courtyard banquet, and she quite liked it.

She and Tao Quan accidentally ate too much.

The servants and guards also sat down to eat and ate their fill.

Before they finished their meal, a fellow villager gave them more rice.

He even politely told them to eat: "Eat more, don't be polite, if it's not enough, add more."

Almost all the people of the Xiao family went to help in the new house, except Xiao Erzhu's family.

Under the scorching sun, Xiao Erzhu, Zhang and Xiao Yi were busy carrying firewood, water, washing clothes and doing household chores under the scorching sun, and they were sweating profusely.

"I'm so tired!" Zhang was scrubbing the clothes, cursing, "Eat, eat, eat, eat you to death, a bunch of starving ghosts."

Her stomach growled.

Zhang stopped moving, her face almost wrinkled, "I'm starving to death, Ah Yi, stop carrying firewood, and hurry up to cook. It will be dark soon."

Xiao Yi put down the firewood: "I haven't read a book today..."

Xiao Erzhu interrupted him before he could finish, "Don't read anymore, eat first. Don't blame your parents for forcing you to work. There is really too much work. If you don't work, you can't even get enough to eat. How can they afford to support you to study..."

Xiao Yi remained silent.

He had used up all the money in his family when he took part in the provincial examination. Now his family had no money to pay the tuition, so he had no longer gone to the academy to study.

He could have read books at home, but Xiao Zhong and Wang Chunxue died and one was imprisoned, leaving no one to do the housework. His parents forced him to work, so he had no time to read.

It seems that my parents will not continue to support his studies.

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and glanced over at the new house. There was smoke rising from the chimneys and a little bit of noisy sounds could be heard faintly.

Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, his expression somewhat gloomy.

When Ye Tang was at their house, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing. He just had to concentrate on his studies. He was also very lucky and passed the examination on his first try. If Ye Tang was still at their house, he wouldn't have failed the provincial examination, and the big new house would have belonged to their family...

Xiao Yi was unwilling.

He felt he had to do something.

After the banquet, Tao Quan and Qin Jinhua did not leave, but called Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan into the house to tell them something.

"Do you know how big a mess you two have made?" Tao Quan said in a roundabout way, looking at Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan seriously, "I have been badly tricked by you two."

Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang were completely confused. They hadn't been to the county town for a long time, and they didn't go to see him when they went there. How could they have been so badly screwed?

"Tell me what you want to say clearly, what can we do to you?" Xiao Jingxuan glared at him.

Tao Quan snorted twice: "I sent sugar and soap to the capital, and my father was so excited that he fainted and almost couldn't wake up. Wasn't he screwed by you guys or something?"

Jamel Xiao rolled up his sleeves: "Don't throw the blame on us. The emperor is in such good health that he can crush you to death with just one finger. How could he faint? It's obviously nonsense you are talking about. Sister-in-law, wife, get out of the way first. I want to beat someone up."

Tao Quan was furious: "You don't respect your elder brother and beat me up at every turn. This is totally unreasonable!"

Princess Xian glanced at him and said, "If you don't tease him, he will beat you. You deserve it. Hurry up, stop fooling around and get down to business. I'm sleepy."

"Okay!" Tao Quan turned to Ye Tang and said, "The white sugar and soap you invented have pleased the emperor greatly, and he wants to reward you."
