Chapter 97 Chapter 97 The young husband has been led astray...

Seeing Xu Yunfan's beautiful smile, Grandpa Fang couldn't help but laugh too. "Haha, by the way, Fang Yi said that you guys are going to town with Xiao Wu in an oxcart. An oxcart can't protect you from the wind and rain like a horse carriage. What if it rains?"

Before Xu Yunfan could reply, Grandpa Fang said, "How about this? I'll make you some brown clothes tomorrow! That way you can at least get some protection from the rain."

The so-called palm leaves are "raincoats" woven from palm leaves that can protect against rain. They were commonly used by ancient people.

This is a good feeling.

"How embarrassing!" Xu Yunfan smiled shyly.

Seeing this, Grandpa Fang thought he would refuse. After all, he was smiling like that, so he was probably embarrassed to bother him. However, the little man changed the subject and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Fang was stunned. "...Haha, what's the big deal? I'm idle all day anyway, so having something to do can help kill some time."

"Grandpa and grandma, we're back." Fang San's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

There has been no work to do in the fields recently, and Fang Er and Fang San have nothing to do, so they go up the mountain with Fang Fulang to look for some wild fruits.

Dali Village is flat, but it is not a plain. Beyond the vast expanse of cornfields are rolling hills.

There are some forests where villagers are used to chopping firewood. Therefore, the villagers will tacitly go to a certain mountain to chop firewood, because it is definitely safer than other forests where few people go.

Some mountains are places where hunters go specifically for hunting. Hunter Fang often goes to another mountain. He knows exactly whether there are any dangerous wild animals at the foot of the mountain or even halfway up the mountain.

Precisely because he knew this clearly, he felt at ease letting Fang Er and the others go. Even so, Hunter Fang had reminded them to travel in groups, to bring weapons for self-defense when going up the mountain, and to be careful of poisonous snakes and other things.

Fang Er and Fang San have been in the mountains for a long time and are very experienced. They know some things without being told by Hunter Fang.

Therefore, over time, Hunter Fang began to feel at ease letting the two brothers go out.

When the two brothers ran in, they saw Xu Yunfan talking and laughing with their grandfather. They were immediately delighted and surrounded him, calling him "Brother Xu" all the time. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that they were brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time and that was why they were so eager to see each other.

When Xu Yunfan saw Fang San, who was in his early teens and looked a little silly and a little fierce, he remembered that he had forgotten something.

As the son-in-law of Xiao Qin's family, it was his first time to visit the Fang family. There were also elderly people there, so Xu Yunfan felt embarrassed to come empty-handed, so he specially wrapped a pound of candy in oil paper and stuffed it into his clothes.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he put down the backpack and started chatting with Grandma Fang and the others, and forgot about the candy. Now when he saw Fang San, Xu Yunfan remembered that there was still a bag of candy in the backpack he had placed under the eaves.

Xu Yunfan quickly stood up and took out some candy from his backpack. He smiled at the other party and said, "Come here. Brother Xu brought you some candy. Take it to your grandparents to try."

The reason why Xu Yunfan didn't say this to Grandpa Fang was because he knew very well that if he told Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Fang would definitely not accept it and would ask him to take it back.

Fang Er and Fang San glanced at the packet of oil paper in Xu Yunfan's hand and didn't dare to take it.

They had never eaten candy, but they had heard of it.

Every night when their eldest brother comes home, he will tell them what is sold in the cafeteria of Qingfeng Academy that day, and candy is one of them.

Speaking of candies, Fang Yi's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in amazement, "You don't know, the candies made by Yunfan are brightly colored, some are very cute, and some are very beautiful. Each one is not big, but it costs two copper coins. Even with this, the candies are not enough to sell once they are put on the shelves."

Candy that was better than brown sugar, so expensive and so beautiful, the cafeteria couldn't even sell enough, but Brother Xu gave them a bag. Fang Er put his hands behind his back, not daring to take it, "Brother Xu, I can't take this."

Grandpa Fang followed closely behind and said, "Xu kid, what are you doing? You're here, why are you bringing candy?"

"It's okay, it's just some candy for my two younger brothers to try. It's not something very expensive. Just accept it. Why are you being so polite? It makes me feel embarrassed to stay for dinner." Xu Yunfan stuffed the candy into Fang San's hand and sat back.

Before discussing business with the hunter Fang, Grandma Fang asked him to stay for dinner.

It was hard to refuse the two old ladies' invitation. Xu Yunfan had no lunch yet, so he refused once with embarrassment. After Grandma Fang said a few more words, he immediately agreed.

After Xu Yunfan said this, Grandpa Fang was reluctant to say anything else. He was afraid that he would say a few more words. Later, when they ate, Xu Yunfan was too embarrassed to take two more pieces of meat. "Since Brother Xu brought it to you, just accept it and thank him properly."

Fang Er and Fang San smiled at Xu Yunfan embarrassedly, "Thank you, Brother Xu."

"What's there to thank me for? You're welcome. What were you doing just now?"

The two brothers Fang Er and Fang San hadn't even put down their backpacks since they entered the house. Since they were guests, Xu Yunfan didn't have the nerve to look over to see what was in their backpacks.

Fang Er and Fang San then put down the backpack, lifted the weeds on top, and revealed the wild fruits underneath. "They are wild grapes and other wild fruits. Brother Xu, I'll wash some for you to eat."

wild fruit?

That really suits Xu Yunfan's taste. "That's great, Brother Xu, I love to eat these."

Hearing this, Fang Er was delighted and took a few bunches of wild grapes and other wild fruits to wash.

Fang San stayed behind to put the wild fruits in the two baskets in order. Those that were ripe should be eaten as soon as possible, and the unripe ones should be covered and eaten in two days.

"Where is your little dad?" The children are back, but why hasn't her husband come back?

Fang San, who was in the woodshed, shouted back, "Dad is still sorting firewood by the roadside. He'll be back soon."

As he spoke, Fang San ran out with a brown, hard, slightly round object and handed the "fruit" to Grandpa Fang. "Grandpa, do you know what kind of fruit this is? My second brother, my father, and I have never seen it before, so we don't know if we can eat it."

At this time, Fang the Hunter, who had finished sorting the peppers, came out and saw this. He said casually, "Those are black-seeded fruits. They can't be eaten. You've reached Beiling Mountain, right? There's a large area of ​​black-seeded fruit trees there."

"Yes, it is." Grandpa Fang took the fruit and turned it around before confirming.

The so-called black seed fruit is named because it contains several black seeds.

When the black-seeded fruit is unripe, it is very hard and impossible to eat. Later, the villagers discovered that it will automatically crack when it is ripe.

I originally thought that this fruit was like the wax gourd, that once it cracked it was ripe and could be eaten. However, I didn't know that even if the black-seeded fruit was ripe, it still couldn't be eaten. The black seeds inside were very hard and could not be eaten at all. Even if you bit through the black seeds with force, the taste was extremely bitter and really hard to swallow.

Xu Yunfan, who was standing by, was stunned. Black seed fruit?

The ancients were really amazing, the names they came up with are very appropriate.

This is not a black fruit, it is clearly "silver".

In fact, the so-called black-seeded fruit is actually tea fruit.

Tea trees have seeds, and tea tree seeds are the seeds of tea trees, also commonly called tea fruits.

The tea fruit is green when it is unripe, and turns brown and reddish brown when it is ripe. It turns brown when the skin cracks.

Tea tree seeds can be eaten, but generally not directly, as they will taste very bitter. The main way to eat them is to extract oil. Tea oil extracted from tea tree seeds is one of the high-quality edible oils. Therefore, in modern times, many farmers or big bosses will widely plant tea trees.

Tea oil is expensive, but Xu Yunfan knows how expensive it is. When he went to the countryside to visit his cousin, his cousin encouraged some villagers to plant tea trees in order to help them get rid of poverty and become rich. For this matter, his cousin worked all night to make a plan to promote the planting of tea trees, and asked Xu Yunfan to check it for him. Therefore, Xu Yunfan specially checked the information on the Internet to determine whether this was feasible.

After reading so much information, it is impossible for the little prince Xu Yunfan not to know what tea oil fruit looks like.

It is only September now, and the tea oil fruits can be picked in about a month.

Before going to bed last night, Qin Run asked Xu Yunfan that now that they had contracted the canteen, they needed a lot of oil.

Oil is needed for cooking and frying meat, and a lot of oil is needed for deep-frying meat dishes.

In ancient times, the most eaten and used thing was lard. There was rapeseed oil in the Dayan Dynasty, but it was not mass-produced and was expensive, so few farmers would buy it.

However, there is a disadvantage when using animal oil to cook or fry food. This disadvantage is not a big deal in the hot summer, but once the weather turns cooler, this disadvantage will become apparent.

That is, animal oil will solidify, which is commonly known as oil coagulation.

Anyone who has eaten animal oil knows that using animal oil to cook, especially in winter, will only take a quarter of an hour for a steaming hot dish to become greasy due to the oil solidification. At that time, not only will you feel greasy when eating it, but just looking at it will make you feel greasy.

Qin Run thought of this, but he didn't know how to solve it, so he could only ask Xu Yunfan if he had any solution before going to bed.

The oil used in the cafeteria for frying and other dishes is all animal oil. Qin Run thought: "Even if we use rapeseed oil, I'm afraid it won't work. Because if rapeseed oil is fried with meat, the meat will be fat, which is fine. If it is a little fat, it will definitely be oily. When we cook, we will definitely have to cook a few dishes first. It's cold in winter, and it will get cold if left for a while."

Xu Yunfan turned around and said, "I've thought about what you said. The rapeseed oil you mentioned is actually vegetable oil. In fact, vegetable oil will solidify to varying degrees when the temperature drops to a certain level. So, when winter comes, regardless of whether it solidifies or not, once the food gets cold, it might be fine in the summer, but in the winter, it might just make people lose their appetite. The key is to keep the food warm."

Another thing is that when making chili sauce, it is indeed better to use vegetable oil than animal oil.

However, when Qin Run mentioned rapeseed oil, Xu Yunfan became curious. "You still have rapeseed oil here? What about peanut oil? Do you have it? And since you sell rapeseed oil, why don't I see any in grocery stores even after so many visits?"

Qin Run explained, "Rapeseed oil was brought back from the Ling Kingdom by the Imperial Merchants. It's very expensive, five hundred coins per pound. How could ordinary people afford it? Grocery stores mainly serve ordinary people, and few people can afford such expensive rapeseed oil. Ordinary grocery stores won't stock it. Moreover, rapeseed oil isn't something that shopkeepers can buy and sell whenever they want. It's sold uniformly by the Imperial Merchants' shops. I only learned about this kind of oil when I heard them talk about it when I was carrying large bags at the dock. As for the peanut oil you mentioned, it's the same as rapeseed oil, also bought from the Ling Kingdom by the Imperial Merchants."

"If we buy everything from the neighboring country, does that mean the neighboring country knows everything?" Xu Yunfan thought. It's no wonder that rapeseed oil is expensive. Modern transportation is developed and convenient, and food imported from abroad is still relatively expensive, not to mention the ancient times when transportation was inconvenient.

Qin Run laughed. "How could they be that powerful? Lingguo is a small country, but I heard they grow a lot of daylilies and peanuts, and they make money by selling oil."

Xu Yunfan patted Qin Run's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm already trying to figure out how to solve the problems you're thinking about. With me here, nothing is a problem."

"I knew you were great." Qin Run praised casually. He knew that Xu Yunfan liked to hear these words.

As expected, Xu Yunfan laughed grimly after being praised, and began to tease Qin Run in an inappropriate way, "That's right, I'm not only smart, but I also have another special ability, but you haven't seen it yet."

Maybe he really has a jealous nature in his bones. He says that he likes Qin Run, but he especially likes to "bully" Qin Run. He likes to see Qin Run blushing and shy when facing him, which makes people feel itchy and eager to make a move.

That feeling makes people feel uncontrollable joy.

Xu Yunfan made excuses for this. If he'd made dirty jokes to other people, that would have been vulgar, indecent, and a hooligan. But since he was on the same household registration as her boyfriend, no, he wasn't really her boyfriend. Qin Run was already her husband, as evidenced by the household registration.

So, telling dirty jokes to your husband is not called being a hooligan, it should be called romance, which is a more appropriate and nicer word.

Qin Run is a conservative guy, and taking the initiative to pursue Xu Yunfan is the bravest step he has taken in abandoning secular traditional concepts. How could he understand anything else better than Xu Yunfan?

Seeing Xu Yunfan's eyes filled with smiles, looking at him expectantly, his mouth corners as gentle as usual slightly raised, with a rare ruffian air. They were obviously two completely different temperaments, but when they appeared on Xu Yunfan's face at the same time, everything complemented each other so well, without any sense of incongruity.

How could anyone who was bewitched by a male vixen lose their rationality? Qin Run subconsciously satisfied Xu Yunfan and asked, "Where?"

This silly guy is so stupid. He was laughing like this, but he still took the bait?

Such a silly guy is lucky to have met an upright, brave and decent person like me. If he had met another man, he would have been bullied.

Xu Yunfan chuckled softly twice, moved closer to Qin Run, and then lowered his voice to laugh in his ear, saying shockingly: "My strength is naturally my skills in bed. You don't know it now, and you haven't seen it. You will know how good I am in the future."

Qin Run: “…”

Qin Run choked and his face turned red like a monkey's butt.

I originally thought that Xu Yunfan looked very ethereal and would not say such vulgar words, but I didn't expect that this man was just like other men, sometimes not very decent. It is true that all men are the same.

"You...why are you like this?"

"What's wrong with me? Don't you like me like this? Don't you think I have a kind of naughty and seductive charm like this?" Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows, and his expression seemed quite proud.

He read a post online where a netizen said that women don’t love men who are not bad. Some women like those “bad” men, and he thought that this guy was the same.

Netizens also said that the style of Pi Shuai combines occasional unruliness with a handsome face, forming a dangerous charm that makes people deeply attracted and forms a "fatal" attraction.

Xu Yunfan believes that he is not that kind of cool and handsome guy, nor that kind of serious handsome guy, but if a guy like him is a little more cool, Qin Run will probably fall in love with him to death.

There will definitely be no problem doing this.

Xu Yunfan is a good student and can solve any problem after reading it once. However, when it comes to love and making his girlfriend or boyfriend happy, he has no experience. There is no standard answer for this matter. He can only learn from others and refer to their successful experiences.

Since women like "bad" men, then he is "bad", so there is no way he can be wrong.

Qin Run didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Xu Yunfan before was not like this. In his impression, Xu Yunfan was just like those students, a modest gentleman, gentle and polite, with good manners. But Xu Yunfan tonight obviously broke his inherent impression of him.

How did this person become like this?

Could it be that he has been visiting Qin's place too much recently, chatting with those men too much, and has been led astray?

When Qin Run went to the river to wash the quilt covers, he accidentally heard several husbands gathered together to discuss some things about bed. Some of them even asked other husbands how many times their husbands could have sex in bed in one night, etc. As they talked, the husbands even teased each other and laughed.

It is obvious that those husbands are not like this in his impression. He thinks that those men are like this too. They like to brag when they have nothing to do, and they will go astray while bragging. Maybe they taught Xu Yunfan like this, or talked about these topics in front of Xu Yunfan, and Xu Yunfan, who has never experienced it, was led astray.

In order not to undermine Xu Yunfan's self-confidence, Qin Run thought for a moment and said carefully: "I like you. I like you no matter how you are. I like you when you are serious, and I also like you when you are not serious. As long as it is you, I like you."

Xu Yunfan was very proud and lowered his head and chuckled a few times.

Qin Run is really something, does he like me so much?

But it is understandable. After all, Qin Run is pursuing him. Plus, with his face, even if he picks his nose, he is still very handsome in Qin Run's eyes.
