Chapter 359 Returning Home
Zhang Juexia accompanied Old Madam Shen as they walked down from the workshop, talking and laughing. When they arrived at the door of their house, they saw Ye Beixiu getting off the carriage.
Zhang Juexia was suddenly stunned. Why did he come back?
After getting off the carriage, Ye Beixiu first paid the driver the fare and then helped the driver turn the carriage around. He watched the carriage go away before turning back.
He saw Zhang Juexia walking towards him quickly, and his face flushed with excitement, "I, I thought you were alone at home and might be too busy, so I came back.
I have asked Master Song for leave and he approved it.
Madam…”
Zhang Juexia smiled and nodded, "Now that you're back, why don't you pay your respects to Old Madam Shen?"
Ye Beixiu hurriedly saluted to Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen looked at the young couple with a smile, "Okay, okay, Miss Juexia is blessed. It's good to have someone thinking about you!"
Zhang Juexia coquettishly hugged Madam Shen's arm, "Madam, even you make fun of us..."
Ye Beixiu quickly calmed down and said, "Madam, my lady, it's too sunny outside, let's go inside and talk!"
"Your wife said she would take us to the back mountain to have a look! How about you come too?"
"Okay, the way up the mountain is difficult to walk on. I'm here, I'll take care of you."
The group came up the mountain in a mighty procession, which frightened Liu Wanfeng who was directing several servants to feed chickens. He quickly stuffed the things in his hand into the hands of the person next to him and trotted over to them.
Liu Wanfeng thought to himself, I hope it’s not another big shot. The last time the magistrate went back, his legs were weak for several days.
He is the worst at dealing with people. How come people come to watch him raise chickens? I'm really impressed.
He was thinking about it, but he still went to Ye Beixiu and asked, "Beixiu, what is this?"
Ye Beixiu introduced Old Madam Shen to Liu Wanfeng, and Liu Wanfeng hurriedly bowed to her respectfully.
"Madam, this is my best brother Liu Wanfeng. He takes care of these chickens."
"It's not uncommon for an ordinary family to raise ten or eight chickens at home, but you can actually raise so many chickens in the back mountain. It's really amazing."
"This is all thanks to my brother Liu Wanfeng. At the beginning, we didn't dare to raise so many, but as time went by, he gained experience.
Juexia is smart too. He knows that there are so many eggs laid by chickens that he can never finish them all.
She thought of sending fresh eggs to the town, and if there were more, she would send them to the county town.
She also wanted to make fried chicken out of the little rooster, and even opened a fried chicken shop in the county town.”
Madam Shen looked at Zhang Juexia with admiration, "She's a smart girl, I didn't make a mistake.
By the way, I, an old woman, also want someone to learn how to raise chickens from you. Is that okay?
I also have a mountain on my hands, and I usually just plant some fruit trees there.
I'm quite happy to eat some fruit every year. Thinking about it, I've wasted many years."
Zhang Juexia agreed without a second thought, "Of course, old lady, your people can come whenever they want."
"well."
Ye Beixiu winked at Liu Wanfeng, telling him to get busy, and Liu Wanfeng was obviously relieved.
"Old lady, if you are tired, let's go inside and drink some water and rest. There are sheep on the hill over there, but they are not big."
Madam Shen perked up. "I'm not tired. Let's go and take a look. I've really opened my eyes today. I have to learn from them."
The lambs on the mountain looked at it, and also looked at the fruit trees she had someone send to her.
On the way down the mountain, Zhang Juexia supported Madam Shen, "Madam, there are some medicinal herbs planted under the guidance of Doctor Liu.
Oh, and I got some good stuff, too, and I want you to see it."
"You're not shy at all, girl. If I told you that when I return, I'll use everything I learned from you on my mountain, what would you think?"
"If the old lady can learn it, it means I'm doing well!"
"Well, this is a capable person."
The group went down the mountain and saw the good things that Zhang Juexia had mentioned.
Old Madam Shen asked in surprise, "Girl, are these peppers you're growing?"
"Madam, do you know her?"
"A few years ago, when I went to the capital, I saw some wives of wealthy families growing it. But they planted it in pots for people to admire.
When these peppers are ripe, they are all bright red and very festive.
In the capital, it is very popular among the ladies, and everyone likes to grow it.
But, I didn’t expect that you would plant it in the ground.”
"Madam, peppers are meant to be planted in the ground. I'm grateful to Doctor Liu for bringing me some seeds, so I was able to try planting some.
You see, they are almost ripe."
"Can they be eaten?"
"Of course you can eat it. Chili peppers? They're spicy, and they're great for seasoning. You can use them to stir-fry rabbit, chicken, and all kinds of vegetables. Anyway, they have a lot of uses."
At this point, Zhang Juexia's mouth couldn't help but flow down. He reached out and pinched a few red peppers. "Old Madam, I'll make you a dish with them when we get home. I just don't know if you can handle spicy food."
Mrs. Shen was so hungry after hearing what Zhang Juexia said that she no longer cared about her own face. "Girl, let's go home quickly. I can't wait to try it."
"good."
Ye Yunhai heard the news and rushed over from another hilltop. He saw Zhang Juexia picking a few peppers for him and felt a little distressed. "Bei Xiu's wife, these are not ripe yet, why did you pick them!"
"Uncle Yunhai, I'll go home and try it first."
"Don't pick it before it's ripe."
Zhang Juexia nodded quickly.
One of the uncles from the same family said, "Mrs. Beixiu, you specifically told your uncle Yunhai to take good care of this land.
You are not at home, so you don’t know that he sees it more precious than his own eyeballs.
We didn't even dare to look at them, but you picked all of them at once. He didn't scold you, but he gave you face."
Ye Yunhai glared and said, "What are you talking about? This thing belongs to Bei Xiu's family, why can't they pick it?
I just think it's a shame that this thing is not yet cooked."
Zhang Juexia knew that Ye Yunhai was responsible, so he quickly admitted his mistake and promised not to do it again.
Ye Beixiu was afraid that the mountain man would say something vulgar again and disturb Old Madam Shen. "Madam, you and the old lady should go home first. I haven't spoken to Uncle Yun Hai and the others for a long time. I'll talk to them before going home."
Zhang Juexia understood and supported Old Madam Shen as they continued walking forward.
"Girl, I am really relieved now.
Not only are you good at business, but you're also good at managing people. You're much better than I was back then."
