Chapter 204 Pickled Cabbage
Seeing that his grandparents had all agreed, Ye Changyan was very happy, and then he asked Liang Jingcheng with a smile on his face.
"Can you drive?"
Liang Jingcheng seemed a little surprised, and then his tone of voice seemed to carry some pride.
"I have also dabbled in all the six arts of a gentleman. What a coincidence that I also happen to be able to drive."
"Then I'll trouble you to be the driver for a while. We'll go to the county town to do some shopping, and I'll use kimchi to make two dishes for everyone in the evening."
When Liang Jingcheng heard this, he immediately stood up and gave Ye Changyan a silly smile.
"I am very happy to serve you, Junior Brother."
The two brothers walked out of the courtyard, got on the carriage, and headed towards the county town.
My grandparents' family were not the kind of people who could sit idle. When they saw that Ye Changyan and his two brothers had gone to the county town, they called Erniu and took them to the fields. While the weather was good, they planted some fruits, vegetables, and various beans.
Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng came to the county town, bought two fish, a big rooster, a large bundle of vermicelli, and some other things, and then drove a carriage to Yunfeng Tower.
Zhong Dingyi and his wife, Huang Huamin's family, Qiu Zhenkui and Su Yu Niang returned to the city early this morning. Zhong Yunfeng was checking the account books in the backyard.
"The kimchi processing workshop has several jars of kimchi that are almost ready. I plan to open the jars today and eat the kimchi in the evening. Can you come over in the evening?"
When Zhong Yunfeng heard Ye Changyan say this, he looked happy, put down the account book in his hand and nodded at Ye Changyan.
"Then you can go to Mr. Xia's private school later and pick up Wulang from school."
"no problem!"
"Oh, by the way, I plan to let my uncle and cousin work in the processing workshop. It's too hard for them to dig for food in the soil all their lives."
"That's a good thing. The cattle dealers are coming back soon, and the processing workshop will be too busy by then."
"The eldest son of Li Baolin's family who had fled to Liangzhou has also been found, and he has brought back the ashes of Fang Xiaotong's brother and sister's father. Li Baolin wanted Li Rongxu to work in the processing workshop. I saw that the boy could read and write, and he was quite smart and intelligent, so I agreed."
"Since he can read and write, he can naturally be trained as a key target. However, we need Aunt Zhang to observe him more. I am worried that his personality may be a little too erratic."
"That's not the case. I think he has learned a lesson from what happened in Liangzhou."
When Zhong Yunfeng heard Ye Changyan say this, he nodded in agreement, because he had great faith in Ye Changyan's judgment of people.
"You said yesterday that the batik fabric will arrive in the next two days. I have asked Aunt Zhang to find girls and women who are good at sewing. They will come to the processing workshop tomorrow to try out the work."
"The printed and dyed cloth should arrive in the county town tonight. I will personally deliver it to the village tomorrow morning. I also want to see what the finished cloth bags look like."
A few days ago, Zhong Yunfeng signed a supply contract with several merchants from Yizhou Prefecture. The convoys of these merchants are expected to pass through Wanshou County in early March.
Yesterday, I reached an agreement with Qiu Zhenkui on the supply of goods to Lihua Lane. When we returned to the county town last night, both parties signed the contract.
Lihua Lane's own caravan is also responsible for the transportation, and it is expected to arrive in Wanshou County by mid-March at the latest. It seems that we have to hurry up and sew the cloth bags.
After coming out of Yunfeng Tower, Liang Jingcheng drove the carriage towards Shanglin Village.
Towards evening, Zhong Yunfeng's carriage stopped at the gate of the Ye family's courtyard. As soon as Wu Lang jumped off the carriage, he smelled a different fragrance.
"Wow, what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"
As he said that, Goro rushed into the yard and then ran straight to the kitchen.
After Zhong Yunfeng tied up the carriage, he saw Erniu coming back with Lian Xiaolong, followed by Mr. Cai, Ye Xiaozheng, Mrs. Lian and the entire Lian family.
Zhong Yunfeng hurried forward to greet them, and the group then walked towards the yard.
Everyone seemed to smell a different fragrance. Just when everyone was looking for the source of the fragrance, Goro came out holding a bowl and chopsticks.
Seeing this, Erniu and Lian hurriedly washed their hands and went to the kitchen to help.
Soon, the two dining tables were filled. Although there were only six or seven dishes on the table, there were several large bowls on each table, so the tables were full.
"Sanlang, the dishes tonight are really different. It has a fragrance I've never smelled before. It makes my mouth water."
Old Cai and Ye Changyan's grandfather sat at the top seats of the Eight Immortals Table, looking carefully at the dishes on the table, but could not figure out the specific details, so they asked Ye Changyan.
"Teacher, these three dishes are made with the kimchi that has just been pickled in the kimchi processing workshop."
Ye Changyan pointed to the three golden dishes on the table towards Mr. Cai, but before Ye Changyan could finish his words, Liang Jingcheng spoke to Mr. Cai excitedly.
"Teacher, let me introduce you to the dishes on the table today. I participated in the whole process, and they tasted really good."
It was rare for Mr. Cai to see Liang Jingcheng so excited, so he smiled and nodded at him.
"This is pickled cabbage and taro chicken. The chicken is sour, spicy and fragrant, and the taro is soft and tasty. It tastes really great!"
Hearing Liang Jingcheng's description, Mr. Cai looked at Liang Jingcheng with a puzzled look.
"How do you know so clearly?"
"Of course I tasted it in the kitchen. Sanlang is in mourning and doesn't like to eat meat, so I was the only one who helped taste the saltiness of the food."
Everyone laughed when they heard Liang Jingcheng's words.
Only then did Mr. Cai ask Ye Changyan's grandfather to pick up his chopsticks. Seeing that the two old men had picked up their chopsticks, everyone followed suit.
I saw Mr. Cai picked up a piece of golden chicken and put it into his mouth. An expression of surprise appeared on his face. Then he chewed it carefully. His expression gradually changed from surprise to enjoyment.
Zhong Yunfeng and everyone in the Lian family picked up the chicken at the same time. They all had a look of surprise on their faces and ate with gusto.
When Wulang saw everyone eating chicken and smelled the aroma wafting away, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"This chicken is really sour, spicy, fresh and fragrant!"
Everyone in the Lian family and Zhong Yunfeng nodded repeatedly, and then Liang Jingcheng pointed to a dish next to it and introduced it.
"This is pickled fish, which tastes sour and spicy. The fish is tender and the pickled cabbage is sour and crisp. There is no fishy smell at all. The taste is very unique!"
Everyone stretched out their chopsticks to the pickled fish that Liang Jingcheng had just introduced, and then everyone looked like they were enjoying the meal.
Ye Changyan noticed Wulang swallowing his saliva beside him. It was really funny to see him greedy but unable to get food.
"Wulang, I also made a vegetarian dish with this kimchi. Although it doesn't have the freshness of chicken or the deliciousness of fish, it is sour and refreshing, and a delicious dish that goes well with rice."
