One person was making a fire while the other was cooking. It felt like you fetched water and I watered the garden, you weaved cloth and I plowed the fields, but neither Xia Yu nor Jiang Baiying realized it.
In short, everything is so beautiful amid the smoky atmosphere of the kitchen.
After the fried gluten and vegetables were ready, Xia Yu fried another plate of chili peppers and bacon. The other pot on the stove was also busy, cooking a pot of tomato and egg soup.
There are no pigs on the farm, so except for the bacon, all these dishes are home-grown. Even the fried gluten is fried one by one by Uncle Tai.
Two dishes and a soup were served on the table, and Xia Yu poured a full bowl of rice for himself and Jiang Baiying respectively.
"That's enough. I can't eat any more and it will be a waste."
Seeing that Xia Yu wanted to give her more food, Jiang Baiying hurriedly said.
"Okay, if it's not enough, I'll fill it up. You're a guest now, and I can't let you go hungry."
After handing the meal to Jiang Baiying, Xia Yu also came to the table with his own meal.
The new rice had just been planted, so they were eating last year's rice, but it still smelled delicious.
"My mom said last time that this rice is delicious. When I get home, I'm going to urge my dad to clean up the farm quickly and plant rice in the fields."
Jiang Baiying spoke.
After spending so much money to buy Wanfeng Farm, there should be some output. Even if it doesn’t generate income, it has to feed the whole family!
Qingming Festival has passed, so it is too late to plant early rice, but it is still possible to plant mid-season rice. Planting one or two acres is enough for a family to eat for a whole year.
Chaolu Farm had only reclaimed less than two acres of rice fields next to the vegetable field. Because the seeds had just been sown, Xia Yu still thought it was a vegetable field. After all, the seedlings had not grown yet.
"Yes, I have Uncle Tai so I don't have to worry. You have to hurry up. It will be bad if the sowing is delayed."
Unlike the purely English business debate in the afternoon, they talked about family matters and local customs at the dinner table. During the conversation, Jiang Baiying couldn't help but admire Xia Yu's cooking skills.
"Senior, the food you cook is better than the aunt we hired."
"It's not as good as you say!"
Xia Yu said this modestly, but his cooking skills were indeed only slightly better than those of ordinary people, and still could not compare with professional chefs. The reason why the dishes he cooked were delicious was more because of their quality.
"I see your vegetable garden is deserted. If there are no vegetables, come to my place and pick them. You can't eat all of them anyway, and you can sell them at a low price in the end."
Xia Yu and his mother had told him before that the vegetables grown on the farm could be sold at the same price as pork, but because there were no mature sales channels, they were now selling them to vegetable collectors at a lower price. However, because of their high quality, the price was not that cheap, and the more expensive ones could be sold at 70% to 80% of the price of pork.
"OK!"
Jiang Baiying did not refuse Xia Yu's kindness. The two of them ate for almost half an hour. It was almost seven o'clock when they finished eating, and it was completely dark.
"I'll wash the dishes when I get back. Now I'll take you home first!"
After soaking the pots and pans in the sink, Xia Yu called Jiang Baiying to go outside.
Since he brought her here, he naturally had the obligation to send her back, but Jiang Baiying also declined a few times.
"Senior, just drop me off at the nearest subway station and I'll take the subway back."
"That's okay too!"
Xia Yu thought about it and agreed to this plan. After all, motorcycles cannot get on the highway in Shanghai, which is still very troublesome at night.
The two of them walked around and came to the gate of Wanfeng Farm again. Xia Yu's car was still parked there.
"Buzz~~"
Starting the engine, Xia Yu drove Jiang Baiying away quickly.
The April evening breeze blew on the two of them, reminding Jiang Baiying of the daytime.
She was not so nervous the second time riding the motorcycle, but she still habitually held Xia Yu tightly so that she felt more secure.
Similarly, Jiang Baiying felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart, looking forward to the arrival of next Friday.
At that time, she can still sit in this car and study and improve together with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu sent Jiang Baiying to the subway entrance, and she took Line 16 and changed trains once before returning home.
"Girl, why are you back today?"
Bai Lu, who was wearing a facial mask, was a little surprised. She knew her daughter had no classes on Friday afternoon, but didn't she usually come back the next morning?
"I went to the farm this afternoon and came back with something I wanted to talk to Dad about."
Jiang Baiying did not elaborate on what happened in the afternoon.
"He's in the study, just go find him."
Bai Lu didn't ask any more questions. She sat down on the sofa and flipped through a fashion magazine.
Her husband is rich, her daughter is obedient and sensible, and there are even dedicated people to cook and clean. Bai Lu has no worries at all all day long.
This is probably what is called a lady!
Jiang Baiying changed into her slippers and walked towards the study. She wanted to talk to her father about farm matters.
On the other side, Xia Yu, who was sent to Jiang Baiying, has returned to the farm.
The farm was extremely quiet at night. The moonlight illuminated the more than 50 acres of water. The wind blew gently across the water, making the huge moon float in the air.
Although the visibility was very high, Xia Yu still turned on the headlights to avoid driving into the water without paying attention.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Heiwangwang barked a few times, but when he saw it was Xia Yu, he stopped barking and turned around and lay down in his doghouse.
Xia Yu parked the car next to the wall of the large kitchen and went in to wash the dishes.
There is a built-in dishwasher in the small kitchen of the master bedroom, but it is a bit long to get there, so it is better to just wash the dishes by hand!
At this time, the disadvantage of having too large a space was also exposed. It was not very convenient to go back and forth. Next time, I would just cook and eat in the small kitchen to avoid the trouble of running back and forth.
After washing the dishes and drying them, Xia Yu closed the door of the kitchen and returned to the master bedroom.
Turning on the large TV in the living room, which was more decorative than practical, the master bedroom, which had not been occupied for a long time, suddenly felt like living. Xia Yu took a short video and sent it to his parents.
Lin Shuqin: "Xiaoyu, your TV is several times bigger than ours!"
"Then I'll move back and switch places with you?"
Xia Yu typed that he was going to entertain his mother.
"No need, we can just go and see it when the time comes!"
The old ones are still the wisest. As expected of Lin Shuqin, she saw through Xia Yu's intention at a glance, and this sentence made her lose interest.
Forget it, I'd better go talk to (flirt with) the senior!
"Then I will wait for the Second Boss to come!"
After leaving this sentence, Xia Yu exited the group chat and turned to the chat interface with Yin Suya.
"Senior, are you free tomorrow?"
The message He Jiawen sent him yesterday had already confirmed the specific time.
On Sunday, the location was Siming Mountain in Zhejiang Province.
There are not many places for mountain hiking in Shanghai, but there are many good options around Shanghai. Zhejiang Province is mountainous, and Siming Mountain has the most beautiful winding mountain road in the province, so He Jiawen chose this place after comprehensive consideration.
Since he was scheduled to go out on Sunday, Xia Yu only had Saturday left. If he invited the seniors to dinner, he would accept either lunch or dinner.
