Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

When Ye Changyan and the other two crawled out of Liu Guihong's field, they simply washed themselves at the edge of the field, but their clothes and trouser legs were covered with mud, and there were sparse spots of mud on their faces and necks.

When Lu Tingfeng saw his master like this, he felt both distressed and happy, but Liang Jingcheng seemed unaware of it and his face was full of excitement.

Seeing the pile of lotus roots in front of him, Liang Jingcheng smiled like an innocent child, thinking that he had contributed a lot to it.

In the end, Ye Changyan only picked out a few broken lotus roots and left the rest of the whole ones to Liu Guihong, hoping that he could sell them for a good price at the market tomorrow.

Because their trouser legs were wet with mud, they simply walked back barefoot. When they reached the yam field, they dug two yams. When they reached the eggplant field, they picked a few eggplants. When they reached the bean field, they picked two handfuls of beans. When they reached the leek field, they cut a bundle of leeks.

We walked back like this, picking various vegetables from the fields along the way.

When they returned to the Ye family's farm, the backpack was already half full. When Mr. Cai and the others from the Ye family saw the three people, they were all stunned.

After learning the reason, Lian hurriedly gave instructions to Erniu.

"Erniu, hurry up and boil the water for a bath. Don't catch a cold."

The three people's clothes were wet and dirty. Ye Changyan returned to his room, found two sets of his own clothes and handed them to Liang Jingcheng and Lu Tingfeng.

Liang Jingcheng came out of the shower wearing Ye Changyan's clothes, which seemed a little short for him. But this was the longest set that Ye Changyan could find. Seeing that it fit Lu Tingfeng quite well, Ye Changyan smiled at Liang Jingcheng.

"Just make do with it. The short clothes make you look taller."

Liang Jingcheng patted his shoulders and waist, then asked with a smirk.

"Isn't he handsome and tall?"

"I don't feel that. You should go to the village and ask the young girls and wives." Ye Changyan laughed. "Hahaha, I'll see if they don't kick you out of the village."

By the time the three of them finished washing up, the sun was about to set.

"Mom, the vegetables in the basket are what we picked from the villagers' fields along the way. Take some money and go to the village first, explain the situation to everyone, then give the money to the people. On the way, see who has made tofu and buy two pieces back."

Lian looked at the vegetables in the basket and asked Ye Changyan where he picked them. Then she took the money and left.

At this time, Wulang had woken up for a long time. Mr. Cai was testing Wulang's knowledge, and Ye Xiao was watching from the side, sometimes looking nervous, sometimes laughing.

"Liang Jingcheng, come here, I will teach you how to cook."

Ye Changyan and Erniu were squatting by the stove picking vegetables. Seeing Liang Jingcheng looking around aimlessly, they shouted at him.

Liang Jingcheng came running over, picked up the beans that the brother and sister were picking, and asked curiously.

"What kind of dish is this? How do I choose it?"

Erniu looked at Liang Jingcheng in surprise, unable to believe that the tall man in front of her didn't even recognize beans.

Ye Changyan was seen demonstrating and explaining patiently to Liang Jingcheng.

"This is string beans. You do this, then this, and then this."

"This is string beans, isn't that right?" Liang Jingcheng followed Ye Changyan and quickly mastered the method. Seeing Ye Changyan nod affirmatively, he said proudly, "This isn't difficult to cook. Look, I can learn it in no time."

Erniu looked at Liang Jingcheng in surprise again and thought, this is just the beginning.

However, Liang Jingcheng's hands-on and learning abilities were indeed very strong. Soon, with the cooperation of the three of them, the small basket of vegetables was picked, washed and cut by them.

Lian also came back with two large pieces of tofu and a basket of eggs.

"This tofu was just ground by Erhu's wife this afternoon. It's still warm. I also bought a basket of eggs from her house."

Erniu took the tofu, saw the basket full of eggs, and asked Lian.

"Didn't someone visit Goro yesterday and bring him a basket of eggs?"

"There's nothing good in this house. This is the first time the old man and his family have come to visit us. We don't have anything good to offer. Just cook a few more eggs."

The simple-minded Lian believed that eggs were the best thing a farmer could have, and when guests came to his home, he must use the best things to entertain them.

"Erniu made a fire."

After Ye Changyan finished the preparations, he gave instructions to Erniu.

"Okay, brother!"

Seeing that Erniu had lit the fire in no time, Liang Jingcheng asked Ye Changyan.

"Then what do I do?"

Ye Changyan looked at Liang Jingcheng, who looked expectant, and smiled at him.

"Of course you are learning to cook from me. Later you can help me and pass things to me."

Liang Jingcheng was very satisfied, and the three of them got busy.

"Liang Jingcheng, pass me the starch."

"Which one is starch? I don't know."

"The second jar on the left."

"Liang Jingcheng, pass me the salt... This is sugar, not salt."

“Which one is salt?”

"The first jar on the right."

"Liang Jingcheng, pass me the peppercorns."

“Where’s the peppercorns?”

"The third jar in the middle."

……

Liang Jingcheng was busy running around behind Ye Changyan. Erniu, who was burning a fire nearby, saw this and couldn't stop laughing.

"Liang Jingcheng, this is ready, please bring it to the table first."

Liang Jingcheng took the plate handed to him by Ye Changyan and staggered towards the main room.

Not far away, Lian, who was cleaning, saw this and hurried forward, took the plate from Liang Jingcheng's hand, and laughed.

“When you walk with a plate in your hand, you have to watch the road and the plate, to avoid falling and spilling the food.”

"Aunt, is there so much knowledge involved in serving dishes?"

Seeing that Lian was as steady as a rock, Liang Jingcheng put the plate on the table in just a few steps, with an expression of admiration on his face.

"Mr. Liang, there is no science to serving dishes. Practice makes perfect."

Mr. Cai, who was standing by, saw the student working like a monkey, with a smile on his face the whole time, but he secretly sighed in his heart that this trip to the Ye family was not in vain. He had been negligent in the past and was indeed lacking in the cultivation of the child's life skills.

"Liang Jingcheng, serve the dishes!"

Just when Mr. Cai was coming to his senses, he heard Ye Changyan shouting again. Liang Jingcheng ran to the stove and seemed to have become much more skilled in catching the plate.

Lu Tingfeng, who was guarding outside the courtyard gate, heard Ye Changyan's call and looked into the courtyard from time to time. The scene that came into his eyes made Lu Tingfeng drop his jaw again.

With the cooperation of Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, plates were soon placed on the table, and the aroma wafted away along with the dishes on the plates.

This made Mr. Cai, who was sitting not far away and examining Wulang's knowledge, a little absent-minded.

When the last bowl of soup was served, this small eight-immortal table was actually filled to the brim. Although it was a table full of vegetarian dishes, it looked like a table of exquisite banquet.
