What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.
Chapter 14 The ugly man came to propose marriage
Ye Tang shook his head: "He and I are not suitable, there is no need to mention this matter anymore."
Zhao Dongsheng's family had high hopes for him to pursue a career in politics, and marrying a woman who had been married twice would affect his reputation. Even if he agreed, his parents would not agree.
"Sanxi, let me tell you straight, if I marry again, I will only marry someone without a father, a mother, or a brother, because I don't want to serve my parents-in-law and deal with all the family affairs. I want to live a freer life."
Zhao Sanxi was surprised. He never thought that Ye Tang would have such an idea. He must have been provoked by that bastard Xiao Zhong!
People who have no father, mother or brothers are all unlucky, just like Lin Chengye. If they marry such a person, the young couple will definitely have a hard life without the support of their parents-in-law, brothers and sisters. Without some strength, they will easily be bullied.
Zhao Sanxi wanted to persuade him but didn't know how. She thought to herself it was a pity that her second brother had no chance.
Before dark, the villagers who went to look for Xiao Zhong came back, sighing one by one, and it was obvious that they had not obtained any useful information.
There were even a few people discussing that several families in Qingquan Village were building cenotaphs for those people who died on the battlefield as Xiao Zhong mentioned, to express their grief.
"It was only when we went to Qingquan Village that we realized that Mrs. Li was talking nonsense. Ye Tang did not abuse her parents-in-law. It was Xiao Zhong's family who were wrong. Xiao Zhong's grandparents even helped Ye Tang teach Xiao Zhong's family a lesson."
"Ye Tang brought back all the dowry, and the people from Qingquan Village helped her load it onto the ox cart."
"This morning, Ye Peng and his son drove the ox cart out to help Ye Tang get back the remaining dowry."
Many villagers felt ashamed for their previous misunderstanding of Ye Tang.
Over the next two days, perhaps because of Aunt Li's previous experience and knowing that Ye Tang was wrongly accused, the villagers stopped talking about Ye Tang and each of them took care of the few acres of land at home.
In the past two days, Ye Tang not only hoed the vegetable field, planted seeds and raised seedlings, but also taught his younger brother how to make meat buns and meat patties. He also asked Ye Peng to buy spices in the town, made braised meat, and prepared a steamer for buns and a frying pan for meat patties.
"I'm going to buy a pig today, and tomorrow morning our whole family will go to the town to do business." While eating the delicious braised pig's head, Ye Peng could already imagine how good his family's business would be in the future.
Fragrant, so fragrant!
He never thought that pig head could be cooked so deliciously.
No chef in the restaurant in town can compare to his daughter.
The family of three was having lunch when a matchmaker came to their door.
"What? You're here to be a matchmaker for Liu Ergui? Get lost! My daughter won't marry that kind of loser." Upon hearing that the other party was invited by Liu Ergui's family, Ye Peng drove him away without any courtesy.
Not long after this matchmaker left, two more matchmakers came. They were all invited by families with bachelors in the village. None of them were good people. They were either widowers, cripples, or old men in their forties or fifties.
"Get out of here, you bunch of ugly guys dare to covet my daughter!" Ye Peng had a hot temper and yelled at these ill-intentioned matchmakers.
"Your daughter is a divorced woman. It's good enough that someone wants her. What qualifications do you have to look down on her..." a matchmaker shouted in dissatisfaction.
Ye Peng chased after him with a butcher knife in hand: "If you dare to say another word,
"Ah!" the man screamed and ran away.
Ye Peng returned home in a rage and told Ye Ping'an, "If there are shameless bastards like this coming to our house again, don't be polite to them, just kick them out."
Ye Ping'an had a fierce look on his face, and was also irritated by the matchmakers: "No problem, I will protect my sister."
These bastards were clearly here for her sister's beauty and dowry.
If he really can't find a suitable one, it's not impossible to let Lin Chengye be his brother-in-law. For the happiness of his sister, he can make a small sacrifice for his brother.
Ye Ping'an went to find Lin Chengye, who was being enslaved by his uncle's family and had just returned from chopping wood in the mountains.
"Brother, come with me to the town to do business tomorrow, and I will pay you for your work." Since he is going to do other business, he naturally has to help his good brother.
Ye Peng bought a pig from Zhou's family in the same village in the afternoon. Ye Tang prepared flour, chives and other things that would be needed for tomorrow in advance, and the family went to bed as soon as it got dark.
As soon as the hour of Chou arrived, Ye Tang's family got up to slaughter a pig. After bleeding the pig and removing the hair with hot water, Ye Peng separated some fat and lean pork for Ye Tang to mince for stuffing. They then deboned the pig's head, cleaned the intestines, stomach and tongue, and made them into a braised dish.
Around the hour of Yin, Lin Chengye hurried over with a torch in hand to help.
Before daybreak, the aroma of stewed food was already wafting through the village.
They were busy until the morning when Ye Tang and his companions finally loaded the prepared things onto the ox cart, and the four of them drove the cart to the town together.
When it was just getting light, the four of them arrived at the town and paid a four-cent entrance fee.
The stall that Ye Peng rented was on the west side of the market. The location was a bit remote and not as convenient as the entrance.
The four men took all the things off the ox cart, placed the pork back in its original place, placed the braised pork next to the pork, and rented a temporary stall on the right side of the pork stall for five cents to sell meat buns and meat patties.
Lin Chengye didn't know how to make buns or meat patties, so he stayed with Ye Peng to help sell pork and braised meat.
Ye Tang took some braised pork head meat, chopped it up and put it in a wooden bowl: "This is for the guests to taste. There is no braised food sold in the town. The guests have never seen it. They have to try it to know whether they like it or not."
She didn't need to say much about the price, her father knew how to set it.
Afterwards, Ye Tang came to Ye Ping'an, and the brother and sister lit a charcoal fire, steamed buns and fried meat patties.
"Today we tried selling three kinds of food. In the future, we will sell whatever sells well. Otherwise, it will be tiring and troublesome to sell all three together with pork." Ye Tang said as he made dumplings.
"You must remember the proportion of the fillings. Only when the fillings are well prepared will the buns and meat patties taste good."
Ye Ping'an responded while making the meat patties.
Four or five meat patties are put into the pan together and fried until golden and crispy. The fragrance instantly drifts away in the wind.
By this time, the sky was almost bright, and there were more and more vendors at the market, selling vegetables, meat, poultry, all kinds of people.
The old man selling preserved vegetables next door smelled the aroma and drooled: "Ye Peng, why are you selling other things besides pork today? This smells so good."
Ye Peng laughed loudly: "My children have many ideas. They are worried that pork will be hard to sell in hot weather, so they make some food with pork and sell it together. Come, try this braised pork head."
He cut a small piece of meat for the old man to taste.
The old man often sold preserved vegetables here and was already familiar with Ye Peng. He took the meat slice and tasted it, and immediately exclaimed: "How much does this cost per pound?"
Is this really pig's head?
"Twenty cents a pound." Ye Peng's words scared the old man so much that he almost returned the piece of meat he had not finished eating.
Although pork has some flavor, it is not as good as mutton, but it is not cheap either. Fat meat is 12 cents a pound, lean meat is 10 cents a pound, pig bones are 5 cents a pound, and pig heads and pig feet are 7 cents a pound.
It's just a change of taste, but the price of pork head has increased from seven cents to twenty cents per pound, which scared the old man to death.
Ye Peng smiled and said, "It's a bit expensive, but the taste is unique. We are the only one in the town that has it."
The old man was stunned, stuffed the remaining meat into his mouth, chewed and said: "You are right, this taste is indeed unique."
Ye Peng pointed at Ye Tang and said, "In addition to the braised pork, my buns and meat pies are also very delicious, and they are only two cents each."
Just by smelling the food, the old man's appetite was aroused. In addition, he had not had time to have breakfast this morning, and his stomach was growling with hunger. After hearing what Ye Peng said, he could no longer bear it and ran over to buy a meat pie. He took a bite and found that the crust was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat filling was fresh and juicy. It was so delicious that he felt comfortable all over.
Some people in the market had already been attracted by the aroma of braised meat and meat patties. Seeing the old man eating with such relish, they all walked towards Ye Tang.
A few people came to Ye Peng. They originally wanted to buy fresh meat, but when they saw the braised meat on the side, they couldn't help but ask a few questions. When they learned that they could eat it directly, they tried two pieces of minced meat in the bowl and were fascinated by it after one bite.
I bought fresh meat and braised meat.
Some only buy braised meat.
No one cares about pig intestines.
Because this thing is more expensive than pig's head.
