Chapter 56



To outsiders, rejoining the clan is simply writing back the name that has been crossed out.

But in fact, this matter is still very serious. For example, the Liu family used to distribute land according to the number of people in each household, and the land did not belong to each family permanently. If there were fewer people working on the land this year and the original land could not be cultivated, the uncultivated land would be distributed to other families that could cultivate it.

This rule may sound inhumane, but in fact it is the first management principle of the Liu family so that they will not abandon their farmland, and it is a prerequisite for the Liu family to prosper for so many years.

At the same time, everyone in the tribe is part of the family, and if any member of the tribe encounters difficulties, other members of the tribe are obliged to help him.

The Liu family has many such family rules, and all of them together constitute the united village of the same surname today.

Later on, the fields were no longer popular, and it seemed that there was no benefit in being in the clan or not, but every member of the clan was like a leaf on a big tree. No matter how many branches it had, the fallen leaves would eventually return to the roots.

However, with the arrival of Liu Ben, the Liu family has seen a turn for the better.

Liu Ben seemed to be doing things quietly in the past few months, from opening a shop to a cattle farm, but in fact, everyone in the village saw it and knew that Liu Ben must have made a lot of money with his family. No one was jealous, but they were envious that the patriarch had such a capable grandson.

But later Liu Ben actually said that he would take everyone to grow Wushuang rice, which caused a sensation in the whole village. Although it was only a pre-registration and no real money had been seen, everyone was excited, and even those who had left the village after hearing the news were a little tempted.

Simply put, only members of the Liu family can obtain the qualifications from Liu Ben to grow Wushuang rice and Baiyuluo, and can make a fortune with him.

However, Liu Xiangsi didn't come back specifically for these benefits; she just happened to run into something unpleasant. Liu Ben didn't know the details, but Liu Xiangsi had mentioned eagerly wanting to plant his white jade radish right after she came back. It wasn't because she was eager for quick success, but because she was truly short of money.

"Um, Liu Ben, I heard from Zhuzi that your cattle farm is hiring. I was wondering if I could apply?"

After everyone dispersed, Liu Xiangsi found Liu Ben and asked embarrassedly.

Liu Ben didn't directly confirm or deny it: "I need to ask the person in charge of my cattle farm first."

"Okay, okay!"

In front of her, Liu Ben took out his cell phone and called Zhao Weiguang. After chatting for a few words, Liu Ben frowned and looked at Liu Xiangsi.

Liu Xiangsi felt even more uneasy. She didn't want to be so shameless. She hadn't even been included in the family tree yet, but she was eager to ask for this and that. It was not good to say it, but she was really anxious to make money.

After Liu Xiangsi got married, she became a full-time housewife, taking care of the family wholeheartedly. She had no income of her own. Now she is divorced, but the division of property is still in progress. She doesn't know how long it will take to get the money she deserves. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is just a few months away, she wants to make some money quickly and have a good New Year instead of living off her father's money.

Liu Ben said, "Most of the jobs Zhao Weiguang has done have candidates already been chosen."

Liu Xiangsi was a little disappointed, and then listened to Liu Ben continue: "But there is also work in the evening and early morning to sterilize and bottle milk. Although there are machines, there are still many places that need people to operate and look after them."

"Can I go?" Liu Xiangsi regained hope.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Liu Ben hesitated. "There's no dormitory at the cattle farm right now, so it's hard to rest during the trip. If I go back to sleep, it won't be safe to walk around at night. And your child..."

"No, no! My home is not far from there, and my child is very well-behaved, he won't make a fuss!" Liu Xiangsi said quickly, fearing that if she was a little late, Liu Ben would not agree to let her go.

Liu Ben thought about it and realized that Quan Youbo's house was indeed very close to the cattle farm. It would take a few minutes to walk there, but it would be very fast if he rode a bicycle.

"Okay then." Liu Ben said a few words to Zhao Weiguang on the other end of the phone and hung up.

"You can go to the cattle farm now. Zhao Weiguang will take charge of the actual work," Liu Ben said to Liu Xiangsi. Then, after a moment's thought, he continued, "There's no rush to plant the Wushuang rice. As for the Baiyuluo, you can check in and plant as many radishes as you want. I'll deliver the seeds every day according to the order you register."

"Okay, okay, thank you!" Liu Xiangsi said excitedly.

Liu Xiangsi's child kept sticking to his grandfather's legs, peeking at his mother from afar. When Liu Ben saw him, he waved to him.

Liu Quanyou patted the child on the back and said something, and the child ran over in small steps, but just stayed close to his mother, opened his big eyes, and looked at Liu Ben timidly.

Liu Ben smiled, took out a pack of milk lumps he carried with him from his pocket and handed it to him.

The child turned to look at his mother first. When his mother nodded, he stretched out his two small palms, almost unable to hold the milk lumps. The child carefully held the milk lumps and said to Liu Ben in a soft voice, "Thank you, brother."

"Call me uncle." Liu Xiangsi said with a smile. She was worried and excited just now, but now she is calm, but still very happy.

The child obediently changed his words: "Thank you, uncle."

"Good boy, go and play." Liu Ben touched his hair.

After Liu Xiangsi and Liu Quanyou left, He Mei, who was packing up at home, said: "Although Xiangsi didn't marry a good man, fortunately her father is good to her, and her eldest brother also doted on her when he was at home."

There was some envy in He Mei's tone, and Liu Ben noticed it.

It seems that Third Aunt’s family might not be like this, Liu Ben thought.

"Hey, if you ask me, marrying into a good family is the most important thing. You see, you live very comfortably in my family." Liu Shuanghu said carelessly.

"You're the only one who knows how to joke!" He Mei was amused by him: "I'm living a comfortable life because my parents treat me well, it has nothing to do with you.

"How come it has nothing to do with me..."

Liu Ben raised the corner of his mouth. His third uncle must have known that his third aunt was thinking about things at home, so he deliberately teased her.

Liu Ben still remembered that he came back to harvest radish seeds. He didn't talk much, went back to his room, locked the door and went to the space to work.

And Xingyue Tower, far away in another direction, launched ready-made dishes made from Liu Ben's agricultural products for the first time today.

"Old Yu, why are you rushing us here?" Two elderly men walked slowly to a private room in Xingyue Tower. Seeing another old man looking at the menu inside, they felt helpless.

Old Yu is the most greedy among them. Every time he finds something delicious, he calls his friends to try it together. Xingyue Tower is favored by Old Yu because of the good chef skills and wonderful dishes, but Old Yu has never urged them to come two hours before mealtime like he did today.

Who else could the old man studying the menu be but Uncle Yu? He looked up at the newcomer, his eyes narrowed in laughter. "Come over here! I'm telling you, I've been looking forward to Xingyue Tower's new dishes for a long time!"

"New dishes?" The other two old men were curious: "What dishes did Boss Xue tell you?" They had heard that there would be new dishes in the restaurant today, but they had no idea what the new dishes were.

"Look!"

The two of them sat next to him and looked at the new menu together.

"Tsk tsk, things here are as expensive as ever! A single serving of soup costs 600 yuan!" said one of the old men with dyed black hair.

Another old man with gray hair laughed at him: "Why? Can't the great Master Sun afford to eat?"

"Hey! Master Li can afford it, so I'll have a bite too!"

"Old Sun, Old Li, stop joking and order!" Uncle Yu said impatiently, "I'll order first! Waiter, this, this, and this, and a serving of this soup for each person, that's all."

"Hey, there are only three of us. Don't order too much. I don't have a big appetite."

“The dishes here are all small portions, and you can order them.”

"Then add this fried rice. I haven't had fried rice for a long time."

"Why did you order so many vegetarian dishes? I'll order some meat."

"You don't understand, the magic of his new dish lies in the vegetarian dishes!"

After ordering these dishes, we still have to wait a little longer, but the three old men are not in a hurry. Since they came early, they can chat with each other.

Old Sun asked Uncle Yu, "Are the new dishes really worth ordering? I think these dishes are even more expensive than his old dishes."

Uncle Yu was looking forward to it: "It must be delicious. I heard that when Mr. Xue was researching these dishes, he also took action."

"Is it true? His grandfather is so old, isn't he said to have retired long ago?" Old Li was a little surprised.

"It must be true."

The three of them waited and waited, and just when they were getting a little anxious, the waiter knocked on the door and came in. The three old men present all sniffed and looked at the food cart pushed by the waiter.

Even though the lid was on, a charming fragrance still leaked out, the kind I had never smelled before.

The waiter gently placed the dishes one by one on the round table and finally opened the lid. At that moment, the blocked aroma escaped, making Old Li and Old Sun open their eyes wide.

These tantalizing aromas lingered from the dishes and wafted out through the private room door. Many guests with keen senses of smell who passed by noticed these unfamiliar odors and couldn't help but ask the waiters who were guiding them, "What is this aroma? I don't think I've ever tasted it at Xingyue Tower."

The waiters would answer respectfully as they walked by: "This is a new dish we just launched today. It uses very good ingredients and is very nourishing to the body..."

In Yu Bo's private room, after serving the dishes, the waiter asked the guests if they had any other needs, then pushed the food cart away and closed the door.

"Oh, let me drink the soup first." Uncle Yu picked up the spoon first and reached for the small bowl of soup in front of him.

The soup is very clear. If it weren't for the tender green water shield and thin white tofu shreds floating in the shape of a flower, one might mistake it for just water.

But that was only an appearance. As Uncle Yu took a spoonful of the soup, he felt like a thirsty person suddenly greeted by a spring rain, his whole body refreshed. As he drank the soup, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face. "As expected of Xingyue Tower, with excellent ingredients and a good chef, this is truly a delicacy."

"Is it that good?" Old Li took a sip curiously, and then was stunned.

This is an ultimate delicacy hidden by its light appearance. It looks light and tastes light, but it is fragrant and rich after entering the throat, making people feel intoxicated.

Old Sun was also shocked by the taste of the soup: "No wonder it's so expensive!"

The opening bowl of soup convinced Mr. Li and Mr. Sun, and they began to look forward to the dishes that followed.

The kelp and potato casserole has a thick and soft potato texture, while the kelp has a unique and tender fishy flavor, infused with the aroma of white wine and coated with finely ground black pepper. Without any meaty flavors, the flavors are complex and varied, making you intoxicated.

The fried rice is distinctly grainy, with a texture that's neither too soft nor too hard, just the right amount. Despite the generous addition of ingredients, none of them mask the rice's natural, fresh aroma. Some of the starch transforms into maltose in the mouth, giving the fried rice a subtle sweetness that leaves diners with a lasting aftertaste.

Even the simple cold-mixed water shield was fresh, sweet and crispy, which made Lao Li and Lao Sun praise it highly. They originally thought that the dishes ordered by Lao Yu were a bit repetitive as they were all made with water shield and kelp, but after actually tasting them, they completely threw this idea out of their minds.

There is no way, these two dishes are so delicious, so delicious that it is magical. I really don’t know how they are made!

Only Uncle Yu listened to their sighs and felt secretly proud in his heart. Good cooking skills must be accompanied by good ingredients. Hey, this is also thanks to me, Uncle Yu!

The author has something to say:

Liu Ben: If you rely on others, you are a princess; if you rely on your friends, you are a Japanese; if you rely on the north, you are a Taiwanese; if you rely on your mother, you are a Henan person; only if you rely on yourself can you be a glorious worker. Good morning, workers!

Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution for me~

The cat that loves meows irrigated 20 bottles of sweet potatoes (>ω<*)

Zeng Yanyan irrigated 10 bottles of taro (=●V●=)

I don't often buy North and South irrigation. I bought a bottle of chestnuts ( ̄y▽ ̄)

Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!

The roasted sweet potatoes sold on the street are really delicious...
