Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 72: Honest Intentions
"Hurry, eat, the food is a little cold. Don't be polite, don't be polite." Seeing everyone sit down again, Father Chen greeted everyone again.
Chen Minglang poured himself a bowl of fish ball soup. A single mouthful gave him a jolt. He bit into the fish ball again. It was fresh, springy, smooth, tender, and slightly sweet—the sweetness of the fish itself. The addition of Gu Yue powder further enhanced the soup's flavor. He then tasted every fish dish on the table, feeling incredibly happy. He was truly lucky to have such a large sum of money. He had even come across such a treasure. He was even more excited about the Spring Festival Banquet.
"Qingning, are these two fish dishes added with Qin pepper? They are a bit pungent at first, but later I felt that although spicy, they are addictive." I didn't check it when I put it in my mouth and was choked by the Qin pepper, but the taste was really addictive.
"Uncle Xu, this is the taste of Qin pepper."
No wonder when he tasted the spicy mushroom sauce and Manager Xu said it was Qin pepper, he was surprised how this small farmer could have such a precious thing, not to mention that it could be used for cooking, as his family had thrown away a lot of it in the past.
"Well, it's delicious, fresh, spicy and flavorful." Xu Minglang kept praising without stopping his hands.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, with nothing left over.
"Oh, I'm finally alive. It's been a long time since I had the food you cooked, Qingning." Yu Shi held his stomach in an exaggerated manner, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Uncle Shi, what you said means that the food we cooked some time ago was inedible?" Qingzhu pretended to be angry when she heard Uncle Shi's intentional joke.
Yu Shi then realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized with a smile: "Uncle Shi, I was wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience. Aunt Chen's cooking is also very delicious. Qingzhu's cooking is also very delicious. They are both delicious."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. It was just as Qing Ning said, the maximum age was three. No more than that.
Xu Minglang looked at Yu Shi and the others and felt that they looked familiar. He then looked at the two old men who were smiling silently beside them. The aura they had was not like that of ordinary people, especially the one they called Mr. Yu. He had a majesty that made people dare not underestimate him. However, he couldn't remember having seen him before during the break, so he had to give up.
"What's that smell? So fragrant, sweet and delicious?" Everyone smelled the sweet smell and knew that the egg cake must be ready.
"Quick, turn off the fire and open the furnace." It was only faintly smelled before, but now it is much stronger.
"I'll do it, don't get burned."
Yu Qi walked forward and asked everyone to disperse. He found a piece of coarse cloth, soaked it and wrapped it around his hands. The moment he opened the oven door, hot steam and fragrance gushed out. He fanned it lightly to remove the mist, then took the baking tray out to cool.
Everyone followed him, unwilling to give up. The fire seemed a little too strong, and some of the cakes were slightly burnt, but fortunately, they were still good. After waiting for a while, he found a bamboo stick and picked out the cakes from the molds one by one and put them in place. The shapes caught everyone's attention. The animal shapes in particular were so naive yet full of spirit, so adorable.
"You all try it and see how it tastes." Qingke was a little nervous. Although it looked good, he was not sure if it would taste good.
The group of people were not polite and couldn't wait to take a small piece to taste.
“Delicious, sweet and soft.”
"Is this really made of eggs? How can it be so fluffy and soft?"
"Yeah, it's delicious, even better than the candy I made before."
"I think Candy is good too. They are two different things."
"Not bad, it's done, but the heat needs to be controlled a little better."
"When I ate those candies before, I felt like even gods couldn't get them. Now that I'm eating this, I don't know what to say. People of our age are meant to eat these."
Everyone expressed their feelings and opinions one by one, and it was obvious that everyone was very satisfied with this.
"Lime, what are candies?" Xu Minglang was curious about what everyone said. What was the difference between these candies?
"Uncle Xu, please wait a moment." Qingke said and went back to his yard, bringing another plate of candies.
Without waiting to be told, they took a piece and tasted it: "Good, good, this dessert is better than the egg cake, and they both have their own merits, good."
Xu Minglang was really happy this time. He wanted to come here to discuss the Spring Banquet, but he didn't expect there would be such a surprise. This business was like it was coming to his doorstep.
After everything was packed up, Mr. Ma and his companions prepared to go back. Qingke picked up two snacks for sisters Chen Xin and Chen Yi to take back and try. Since it was not far from Mr. Ma's residence, he asked them to go back with him.
The Chen family invited Xu Minglang and the other two into the main room, made some tea and started talking about business.
"I've taken the liberty of coming here this time because of the Spring Festival Banquet. I was shocked when I read the detailed plan, and then I heard that it was a five-year-old child. I was surprised, happy, and suspicious. I really want to see what kind of business genius this is."
Xu Minglang spoke bluntly, making Qingning feel a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Xu, you're too kind. I'm not a genius, I just learned from what I saw. I'm also learning from it."
"Even if we're learning from it, we need to put it into practice. Furthermore, the plan is incredibly detailed and thoughtful, detailing everything from the monetary cost, the number of personnel, and even emergency response plans. Even the head shopkeeper beside me lacks this level of thoughtfulness."
Xu Minglang had been very excited since he saw the plan. If such a talent were placed under his command, he was afraid that he would no longer be respected by the head of the family, and he was even afraid that he would be able to claim the position of head of the family.
"Mr. Xu, please stop praising me. How can my daughter be compared with the head manager of your family?" Father Chen spoke quickly when he saw Xu Minglang praising him so highly.
He had no dealings with these young masters from wealthy families, but although Xu Minglang did not look like a bad person, if he wanted to keep Qing Ning by his side, it would be something that an ordinary family like them could not refuse.
"Why not? Patriarch Chen, there's no need to be so modest."
"Uncle Xu, I'm afraid you didn't come here just to praise me. Is there something else?" Qing Ning knew that he didn't come just for the Spring Festival Banquet, so she asked directly.
Xu Minglang was not in a hurry when he heard this. He took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea. Is this Gongmei?"
Well, the tea that ordinary people drink is this high-quality Gongmei, which is amazing.
He put down his teacup and said, "Qing Ning, I came here this time because I wanted to adopt you as my adopted daughter and keep you by my side. Of course, I also have selfish motives. I value your abilities."
"That won't do. Although we're poor, we're not going to sell our daughters." Tan was furious when she heard this, and without caring who he was, she immediately refused. She had thought him a good man before, but now he was openly trying to steal her daughter. She immediately disliked him and was not happy with him.
She hugged Qing Ning tightly in her arms, trembling slightly. Seeing that Tan was frightened, Qing Ning patted her arm gently: "Mom, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be at home with you."
Seeing that Tan was somewhat appeased, he said to Xu Minglang in a serious tone, "Mr. Xu, thank you for being so frank and honest and sharing your thoughts. However, I do not want to leave home, and I do not envy your wealthy and prosperous hometown, so please do not say anything inappropriate in front of my family."
When Shopkeeper Xu saw the situation, he wondered why the young master had offended others right away. Which parents would be willing to give their child to someone else, except those who were cruel-hearted or could not make ends meet.
"Qing Ning, our young master~~~" Before she could finish her words, Xu Minglang raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Don't be angry, everyone. Minglang was mistaken. Although you live a simple life, you are brothers and sisters who are friendly and respectful, and your families are harmonious. If I can't see this, I would be blinded."
Seeing that he no longer mentioned it and took the initiative to admit his mistake, everyone felt a little relieved. However, the younger ones still looked at them vigilantly, afraid that they would snatch their sister away.
Xu Minglang looked on with envy, as this was the warmth that he had never been able to enjoy.
