Chapter 27 The kitchen is finished, and Yuan Qing asks Ying Yuanxing to inspect it. The kitchen is expanded from the left side of the cabin...
After the kitchen was completed, Yuan Qing asked Ying Yuanxing to inspect it.
The kitchen was expanded from the left side of the cabin and was built with oak with clear texture, which is consistent with the style of the cabin. It is a very pleasing type to the eye, but Ying Yuanxing prefers another style of decoration.
If the grocery store was open, he could have spent money to buy wallpaper and flooring to decorate the house, but now, he can only accept this house style or decorate it himself.
If you just decorate the house yourself, there is no way to change the decoration style every few days. This is probably a small flaw after the game is made into reality.
However, what made Ying Yuanxing most satisfied was the furnishings in the kitchen. The storage cabinets were all set up, and even the sink, stove, and refrigerator were connected.
Although there are not many kitchen utensils, there are pots, pans, and even a set of baking utensils, so you can just carry the ingredients in and cook.
Yuan Xiu stood outside the kitchen, looking at Ying Yuanxing's satisfied expression. He inexplicably felt that the other party's smile at this moment seemed more sincere than when he was facing him.
Ying Yuanxing came out of the kitchen and praised Yuan Qing profusely. Finally, he said, "Auntie, your cooking skills are so good. I will definitely look for you next time I have work to do."
Yuan Qing was a little overwhelmed by Ying Yuanxing's enthusiasm. After all, when she worked before, the weirdos would pay her on time after finishing the work instead of cheating. Even if she met a good employer, it was the first time she saw someone praise her so quickly like Ying Yuanxing.
Although this kitchen was built at a loss in the end, after being praised like this and hearing Ying Yuanxing's words, Yuan Qing still subconsciously responded.
"Auntie, Yuan Xiu, it's so late, why don't you come over to my place and have dinner before leaving." Ying Yuanxing said eagerly.
Yuan Qing subconsciously wanted to agree, but when he saw that Yuan Xiu's face didn't look good, he hesitated.
Yuan Xiu said, "No, my mom and I have something to do later, let's eat next time."
Ying Yuanxing felt a little regretful, but then he thought about it. His kitchen had just been built, and he hadn't tried it out yet. It was not convenient to just invite the other party to eat. So he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll invite you and Auntie next time, and I can't refuse."
Yuan Xiu nodded with a smile. At another time, he might be interested in staying for dinner, but now, he was in a bad mood and didn't want to see Ying Yuanxing for the time being.
Seeing Yuan Xiu was about to leave, the little black cat followed behind him. Ying Yuanxing thought that the little black cat was helping him see him off, but he didn't know that the little black cat was simply afraid that Yuan Xiu would change his mind after taking a few steps, so he wanted to keep watching him leave.
Yuan Xiu noticed the little black cat's movements and sneered. Xuan Ying really shouldn't be wearing a cat's skin. If he were a dog, he would definitely be more like a cat. At this time, he might even bark a few times to drive him away.
Under the vigilance of the little black cat, Yuan Xiu left the farm. He had no interest in hanging around outside and soon returned home.
After sitting for a while, Yuan Xiu got up and went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.
He usually doesn't use the kitchen because it's hard to find the food he wants to eat there. But today, because he was too excited, his appetite was strong, but he couldn't get what he really wanted to eat, so he could only eat something else to satisfy his craving.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Yuan Xiu paused and his mind went blank for a moment.
Even though Yuan Xiu rarely went into the kitchen and didn't remember what was in it, he couldn't ignore the difference between a normal kitchen and a bare house. The cabinets were gone, the kitchen utensils were gone, the refrigerator was gone, and even the sink was gone...
What kind of thief dares to steal from him? !
Yuan Xiu glanced around but did not detect any aura other than his and Yuan Qing's. Unless the other party's ability to hide his aura was high enough to escape his eyes, there was only one possibility, that Yuan Qing had taken it away.
Yuan Xiu suddenly thought of something. The kitchen of Ying Yuanxing's house seemed very familiar. At that time, he thought that all kitchens were similar and did not think much about it. But when he looked at his own kitchen which was almost stripped naked, Yuan Xiu looked at Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing met Yuan Xiu's gaze, glanced at the kitchen, and turned away silently.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xiu was so angry that he laughed. The smile on his face was brighter than usual, but his eyes were a little dangerous.
Yuan Qing explained that the reason was the contract. According to the general understanding, the kitchen is to build the outer frame, and as for the utensils inside, Ying Yuanxing should prepare them himself. But for some reason, according to the contract, Ying Yuanxing's kitchen should be considered completed only when all the kitchen utensils are prepared.
Originally, Yuan Qing still had time to buy these kitchen supplies, but who knew that Ying Yuanxing completed the contract all at once, resulting in the kitchen being built in a hurry. Yuan Qing had no choice but to give Ying Yuanxing the kitchen supplies at home.
It can be said that this business deal was a huge loss.
Yuan Xiu looked at the empty kitchen, was silent for a moment, and stood up.
"Are you going to get those kitchen utensils back?" Yuan Qing misunderstood and was a little flustered.
"I won't break the contract rules. I'll go and have a free meal." Yuan Xiu said word by word, and glanced at Yuan Qing, "Mom, you can come with me."
But before Yuan Qing could even go out, he ran into Ying Yuanxing who came to his door.
"Yuan Xiu, Auntie." Ying Yuanxing greeted them in surprise when he saw them, and said a little embarrassedly, "I came to borrow some seasoning from you."
"I never bought it before, and the dishes I made were not tasty without seasoning."
Yuan Xiu looked at Ying Yuanxing steadily without saying anything.
Ying Yuanxing waited for a while and saw that Yuan Xiu didn't respond. He felt a little embarrassed, then he saw Yuan Xiu suddenly turn around and go back to the house, then came back with a bunch of seasonings, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, and even flour and rice.
"We don't need so much!" Ying Yuanxing waved his hands repeatedly, a little surprised. He didn't expect Yuan Xiu to be so enthusiastic. He just wanted to borrow some seasoning, but the amount Yuan Xiu took out looked like all the stock in the house.
Wait, is this the Yuan family’s kitchen?
Ying Yuanxing's gaze fell behind Yuan Xiu. The layout of this room was very similar to his kitchen. Yuan Xiu also got ingredients from there, but why was this kitchen empty?
"What is this?" Ying Yuanxing couldn't help but ask.
"There was a thief, and the kitchen was emptied. These are the only things left." Yuan Xiu looked at Ying Yuanxing deeply and sighed.
Ying Yuanxing suddenly felt a little hesitant to take the seasonings, but Yuan Xiu directly handed them to Ying Yuanxing.
"There's no kitchen anyway, so you can use these," Yuan Xiu said.
"Otherwise, you and aunt can come to my house for dinner these days." Ying Yuanxing couldn't help but say. Judging from the condition of the Yuan family's kitchen, it would probably be impossible to cook in the next few days.
It would be fine if he didn't know, but since he saw it, he still had to help. What's more, Yuan Xiu gave him so many seasonings.
Xuanying was guarding the processed fish pieces, waiting for Ying Yuanxing to come back with the seasoning, but the person who came was not only Ying Yuanxing, but also Yuan Xiu, the person he hated the most.
Before Yuan Xiu came to the farm, the other party was not Xuan Ying's most hated person, but now, he has successfully topped the list.
Ying Yuanxing turned around and saw Xuanying staring at Yuan Xiu. Fearing that he would ask something that would hurt the Yuan family, he quickly pulled him aside to explain and told him not to ask questions casually. Then he went into the kitchen and put all the ingredients in the refrigerator.
I clicked on the stove again, and a production page popped up, but there was only one recipe on it: grilled fish.
Ying Yuanxing guessed that to cook in real life, one probably had to study recipes by himself. After all, there were many more ingredients in reality than in games, and grilled fish was something he had made. Even if it was not delicious, it was still made, so it could be lit up.
Just remembering what the grilled fish he had made before tasted like, Ying Yuanxing was worried about wasting a fish, so he chose to remake the recipe. Grilled fish was too troublesome to make, so he just made a braised fish.
The recipe of braised fish is not difficult and does not take much time. Soon, Ying Yuanxing finished cooking a braised fish. At the same time, the icon of braised fish appeared on the menu.
Ying Yuanxing calculated the number of people and decided to make four servings of braised fish, one for each of them, which went perfectly with the rice he had steamed in a large pot.
But before making it, Ying Yuanxing tasted it first to make sure that the braised fish tasted good before deciding to make it.
Before going out, Ying Yuanxing took a fish and cut it into thin slices. The sashimi recipe was completed, but he did not eat the fish. He gave it to the little black cat to save the kitten the trouble of eating fish.
Five plates were a bit too much. Ying Yuanxing was just about to make two trips to serve the dishes when Xuanying rushed in from outside the door.
Without waiting for Ying Yuanxing to react, Xuanying walked out with five plates. Ying Yuanxing didn't see how he carried four plates steadily with two hands. Ying Yuanxing could only go to get the steamed rice.
"Auntie, there is only fish at home and no other ingredients. You can try it." Ying Yuanxing put down the rice and said.
Yuan Qing looked at the braised fish in front of him, and looked left and right, thinking that it was just an ordinary fish. He glanced at Ying Yuanxing, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Xiu again.
She originally thought that Yuan Xiu was the weirdest one who liked to disguise himself as an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that there are always stronger ones among the strong.
When it comes to disguise, Ying Yuanxing is still better. At least Yuan Xiu can't do the same when it comes to eating.
It’s not that weirdos can’t eat ordinary food, but ordinary food is of no help to them. They need to use a little weird energy to help digestion, otherwise they will feel a little uncomfortable if they eat too much.
But since Ying Yuanxing said so, Yuan Qing could only eat. He picked up a piece of fish without any expectation. After confirming again that it was really just ordinary fish, Yuan Qing swallowed it in one gulp and paused.
…
While the Ying family was having dinner, the Yu family was also having dinner.
Even after being severely beaten, Yu Fei and Yu Ye ate with gusto, while Yu Yan was praised by Boss Yu and others for speaking up several times.
Because they got a lot of fish, and they also agreed with Ying Yuanxing to buy fish, the Yu family was extremely happy. Their vigilance decreased, and they didn't notice anyone peeking outside the house.
The other person's eyes were fixed on Yu Fei, watching him eat the fish happily, and even playing with his brother, without any sign of dying as before. The other person's eyes unconsciously became warmer.
Yu Fei noticed something strange and said without any hesitation: "Dad, I feel like someone is looking at me!"
Before he finished his words, Boss Yu and his gang were no longer in the room. However, although they moved quickly, the other party moved even faster. After realizing that they were exposed, they ran away immediately without even a trace of breath left.
After searching in vain, Yu Lao Da and his companions did not dare to search outside for too long and returned home.
"Brother, who do you think it could be?" asked Yu Lao Er.
Boss Yu did not answer. He frowned and looked at the house in the distance. It was the house of his fellow tribesmen.
"Eat first, eat all the fish." Boss Yu looked at it for a long time and turned back to say.
More than three hundred kilograms of fish may seem like a lot, but for six weirdos to eat them at the same time, it wouldn’t take much time at all. However, the three brothers of Yu Lao Da didn’t eat much, and most of the fish was left for Yu Yan and the others to eat.
In the other room, there were strange whispers.
"Is Yu Fei really recovered?"
"How did he do that?"
"Boss Yu found something good, but he refused to share it with us."
"Go and tell the Territory Lord that he cannot keep it secret."
"We can't report it to the Territory Lord, otherwise we will have nothing."
"Follow him and find the good stuff!"
…
Ying Yuanxing still remembered the time he and Mr. Yu had agreed on for selling fish. In order to avoid missing it, Ying Yuanxing waited for him at the village entrance before the time came.
After a while, Boss Yu appeared at the entrance of the village in a daze. In fact, Boss Yu had been hanging around Taoxi Village these days. Knowing that someone strange had noticed the situation in the Yu family, Boss Yu came out early to avoid being followed.
If possible, Boss Yu wanted to cancel the transaction temporarily and wait for him to avoid the limelight, but the transaction time was not something he could decide. He was also afraid that doing so would offend Ying Yuanxing, and he would no longer be able to buy fish and would have to come here.
For this reason, he even wanted to wait for Ying Yuanxing at the village entrance first, but he couldn't get in for the past two days. Until just now, he just took two steps and the entrance of Taoxi Village, which he could not reach before, appeared.
After settling the payment and goods with Boss Yu, Ying Yuanxing was just about to go get some more goods when he noticed that there seemed to be another person coming to the village entrance. The other person looked nervous and flustered, as if he had lost his way in the woods and ended up in Taoxi Village unexpectedly.
Chen Yuan has been following Boss Yu secretly. No matter how the other party tries to avoid him, he will hold on to him tightly. The other weirdos are just curious about good things, but if his wife cannot get treatment, they will disappear completely.
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain. Boss Yu got rid of the others but not him. Although he was far away and could not hear the conversation between Boss Yu and Ying Yuanxing, he saw Boss Yu taking some fish from Ying Yuanxing. The other party was so mysterious, so this fish must not be an ordinary fish.
So what price will you have to pay to trade with the other party?
Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Ying Yuanxing was about to leave, he immediately put aside his anxiety and walked out.
"Sir..." Chen Yuan said.
Ying Yuanxing almost thought he was hallucinating. He must have traveled to modern society, not ancient society.
"Wait, no need to call me sir, are you lost?" Ying Yuanxing waved his hand.
Chen Yuan's mind was working rapidly, trying to figure out what Ying Yuanxing meant by this. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, I'm here to buy fish."
Buying fish? Could this be the customer that Boss Yu helped him attract?
Ying Yuanxing was surprised for a moment, but he quickly remembered that all the fish he caught in the past few days, except for his own consumption, were given to Boss Yu, so he had no more fish for the time being.
Is it true that we can only turn down business that comes to our door?
Ying Yuanxing still wanted to save the situation, so he asked, "I just sold out all the fish. If you can wait, wait until I catch some."
How could Chen Yuan say no? He could only nod, and saw Ying Yuanxing walking away, coming to a river, and fishing.
Chen Yuan felt that the fishing rod looked particularly familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it was Lord Li An's fishing rod. He had been caught by him once before and felt his terrifying aura at close range. At that time, he thought he was going to become a piece of fish meat. However, the other party just looked at him with disgust and threw him back into the water. He luckily escaped with his life.
How did this fishing rod fall into Ying Yuanxing's hands? No, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Ying Yuanxing took this fishing rod and even used it to fish, and caught something.
This information even made Chen Yuan doubt the truthfulness of the news he had heard.
Ying Yuanxing caught fish very quickly and soon caught a few fish. He went to Chen Yuan with the fish in his hand and said, "Do you want these three fish? If you do, they're ten yuan a pound."
Ever since he encountered misunderstanding from Boss Yu last time, Ying Yuanxing would no longer omit the price when quoting it, for fear that saying ten would be misunderstood as one hundred thousand.
But Chen Yuan was also stunned by the price. Was it necessary for Boss Yu to buy a fish worth ten yuan in such a mysterious way? Was it really a rare and strange food that could save his wife?
"If you think it's too expensive, just buy it somewhere else." Ying Yuanxing did not lower the price like he did last time. Last time was his first time doing business, so he was more likely to be soft-hearted. But now, lowering the price rashly would have a huge impact on business. Besides, Chen Yuan didn't look poor, so if he couldn't afford it, he shouldn't eat it for now.
"No." Chen Yuan realized that he was misunderstood, shook his head, and looked carefully at the fish in Ying Yuanxing's hand.
Because he was far away, he didn't see clearly the fish that Boss Yu had just taken away, but the fish he secretly saw last time seemed to be a little different from this fish.
"Is this fish any different from the one you sold to Yu Da?" Chen Yuan asked hesitantly. If his wife's condition was not critical, he could take it back and give it to his wife to try. If it didn't work, he could change it. However, his wife's evil spirit dissipated too quickly. If he failed this time, he wouldn't be able to wait until the next time.
Ying Yuanxing was about to ask what the difference was, but suddenly remembered that the fish he had sold before were all fed with grass. Could this be the difference?
Ying Yuanxing had previously used grass to feed fish simply because he couldn't find suitable feed, but Chen Yuan's words, coupled with some of Boss Yu's actions, made him realize that the grass might be more special than he thought.
"Does your family also cultivate any high-quality fish?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
Although Chen Yuan didn't know what this meant, his intuition told him to nod.
Ying Yuanxing's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was exploding. He had been fishing to make money during this period. Although the money he made was not small, it was obvious that the money earned from fishing had reached a certain limit and there was no way to increase it.
Unless he chooses to raise the price of fish, but if the price increases, how many people will be willing to buy it?
Moreover, the benefits gained from fishing were gradually decreasing for Ying Yuanxing. In the past few days, he had been cooking fish in various ways, such as grilled fish, fish soup, fish skin jelly, braised fish, spicy fish, fried fish cubes...
But after eating fish for three days in a row, I felt a little sick of it. Although it wasn’t particularly sick of it, the time was obviously not far away.
Without fishing, the crops on the farm obviously cannot be grown on a large scale. It can even be said that if we want to produce seeds, there will not even be enough for our own consumption.
Chen Yuan's words gave him an idea to make money by selling grass feed.
If calculated based on the price of selling fish, the price of this feed will be very expensive, but the other party raises high-quality fish, so for the health of the fish, the higher price should be acceptable.
After all, it seems normal for a fish worth hundreds of thousands of yuan per pound to eat feed worth thousands of yuan.
No, he could also package it smaller, lower the price a bit, and make it look like a better value for money.
If the price is just too high, the other party will definitely not be able to buy them all, so he has to find more customers. Ying Yuanxing doesn't know anyone who raises or cultivates high-quality fish, but judging from the connection between Boss Yu and Chen Yuan, the other party must know someone in the same circle, so he can ask them to find a way to introduce them.
The most important thing is that as a businessman, he actively promotes the product. Not to mention how much effort it takes, few people will believe it when he tells others about it. But if it is promoted by a fellow fish farmer, the other party will always believe it.
What's more, as long as the feed is effective, Ying Yuanxing doesn't believe that others will not see it. After all, colleagues know their peers best.
"Ahem." Ying Yuanxing cleared his throat to attract Chen Yuan's attention, and then said, "I know what you want, but that's just a secondary product. Do you want to try the best product?"
If you want to sell a product at a high price, you certainly cannot just say that it is forage grass. Otherwise, even if it is effective, not many people will be willing to pay for it before it becomes famous.
Chen Yuan seemed to see a bewitching monster he had encountered before. The other party seemed to be speaking in the same way. However, the best option mentioned by the other party was the one that would actually lead to death without a burial place.
But, does he have any choice?
"I'll try." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Wait here." Ying Yuanxing smiled mysteriously and ran towards the farm quickly.
Compared with before, the farm has an additional silo. This is Yuan Qing's way of returning the favor by eating and drinking at the Ying family. All the grass harvested by Ying Yuanxing during this period has been placed in it for fermentation.
Ying Yuanxing took out a portion of grass, but felt it was still a bit too much, so he divided it in half, then divided it in half again. This amount of grass looked a bit delicate, but one could tell at a glance that it was grass.
Ying Yuanxing used an axe to chop the grass into small pieces, each of which was the same length. Thanks to his experience of chopping trees with Xuanying over the past few days, his control over the axe has improved a lot, otherwise he would not be able to do it so finely.
After hesitating for a while, Ying Yuanxing went into the kitchen and processed the hay again. A new recipe appeared on the menu: soaked hay.
As for how it tasted, Ying Yuanxing didn't dare to try it, but he fed it to the fish thrown into the pond. The fish ate it just like before, without any disgust.
It should be useful.
You know, in order not to destroy the possible use of the grass, Ying Yuanxing only dared to soak the grass in water and put it in a bottle. When Ying Yuanxing returned to the village entrance, Chen Yuan was still waiting for him, but he looked very nervous.
"This is the best product, 500 yuan a bottle." When Ying Yuanxing said this, he felt a little guilty for some reason. After all, he knew what this forage grass was like better than anyone else.
But Ying Yuanxing changed his mind and thought that if Boss Yu bought the fish for the fodder, then the money he spent on the fish would be almost enough to buy the fodder eaten by the fish. By doing this, he could also avoid the fish from acting as a middleman to make a profit.
Chen Yuan reached out his hand tremblingly and took the grass.
