Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Visiting to Thank You
Seeing how they were wolfing down their food like starving ghosts, Xu Yunfan quickly grabbed their hands as they tried to grab another Snow Meiniang. "Alright, just one is enough to fill your teeth. Take my money first, and get the goods. If you eat too much, do you still need to eat dinner later?"
Xie Baizhou's mouth was full, and he shook his head fiercely. "No more! I'll eat all the Snow Meringue you want. Yunfan, is this something new you made? What's in it? It's delicious! I've never tasted anything like it before."
Just swallow it in one gulp, and both the tip of your tongue and your taste buds will get the ultimate enjoyment, which is very satisfying.
"That's cream, don't eat it anymore. These are to be sold. There are not enough to sell. If you eat more, the other students will stare at you and make holes in your mouth. I'll keep your share, so you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat." Xu Yunfan was helpless and couldn't help but urge them to work quickly.
The other students were afraid of offending Qi Xiu Ze and the other four young masters, but seeing how they ate, they were really envious and distressed. There were not many of those things to begin with, and they ate so voraciously that their flesh ached. But seeing that they could eat as much as they wanted without queuing or paying, they were so envious that their eyes were almost tearing open.
But with Xu Yunfan's words, they became bolder and nodded one by one, saying, "Yes, yes, Master Qi, Master Lin, Master Xie, Master Shen, please have some pity on us who have waited so long in line. Can you at least leave one for us to try?"
Even if they didn't tell me, considering the way Qi Xiu Ze and the others ate, how many would be left?
If they eat one more, it means they have to buy one less, or some students may not even be able to buy one.
This thing is called Xue Mei Niang. Qi Xiu Ze and the others said it was delicious, so it must be delicious. Otherwise, how could a few young masters who have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea eat it like a pig?
After the students who were queuing up to buy the Snow Meringue, they found that it was just as they imagined. This thing was delicious in two words.
As for how delicious it is, just look at the students who have finished eating and see how fast their Adam's apples roll up and down as they stare at other students queuing behind them eating. You can tell how greedy they are and how much they want to have another one.
Xie Baizhou and the other three hurriedly finished their dinner. When they received their own portion of Snow Mei Niang, they smiled so hard that their teeth were visible and patted Xu Yunfan on the shoulder. "Brother, you are so loyal. It's worth making friends with me. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."
Xu Yunfan: "...You guys are really foodies."
Shen Ruxi spoke without hesitation, obviously having prepared a response in advance, or perhaps she was used to rebutting, "You're not right. Food is the most important thing for people, and a foodie is always better than a fool. We are pursuing delicious food. Being able to eat is a blessing, and eating well is a blessing upon blessing. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Xu Yunfan was too lazy to argue with them, so he asked Qin Run to carry a bucket of ice, closed the cafeteria door, said goodbye to them, and walked towards the entrance of the academy holding Qin An's left hand and Xiao Ye's right hand.
After Xu Yunfan and his group turned the corner and disappeared, Xie Baizhou put down the bucket he was carrying. "What's in this? Yunfan just gave it to me, saying we should drink it while studying tonight. It can help relieve the heat and refresh us."
Shen Ruxi lifted the lid of the wooden barrel and saw only a bucket of ice. "What? Are you sure you heard it right? This is a bucket of ice. Does Yunfan want us to chew on it?"
What's so good about this thing? It can be used to cool down.
"Impossible." Lin Xiaoran knew Xu Yunfan. If he really wanted them to eat the ice, he would have given it away long ago and would not have kept it until today.
Lin Xiaoran peeled off the upper layer of ice, and just as he expected, four large bowls appeared under the wooden barrel.
Qi Xiu Ze, who was watching, lifted up one of the upside-down bowls out of curiosity and saw a large bowl of milk tea underneath. He picked it up and took a sip tentatively. It was icy and cool, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
Just as he was about to take a second sip, Lin Xiaoran slapped him and swallowed hard, "Don't drink it. Yun Fan probably meant to save it for us to cool down when we get irritated while studying tonight. Don't finish it."
After returning home, Xu Yunfan told Qi Xiu Ze about his candle business. "I remember everything you wanted to do. Now that it's settled, all that's left is to prepare the goods. But there's no rush. Xiu Ze still needs to send a message to discuss this with his father and brothers. Although the candles I make are simple, their importance here is undeniable. I'm sure they'll discuss it with me again when the time comes. Qinghe Town is neither close nor far from the capital. A round trip at full speed will take at least ten days. I have candle molds in my suitcase. When the time comes, we can just go up the mountain to scrape the pine oil and bring it back to cook."
Qin Runmei was very good. At first, his proposal was rejected by Xu Yunfan, but Xu Yunfan took note of his words and found a way to solve it for him.
Every word he said was valued and cared for by Xu Yunfan. It didn't matter if Qin Run was not beautiful.
Xu Yunfan continued, "As for the food supply issue you mentioned, I've already discussed it with Xiu Ze today. The slaughterhouse will be able to deliver the food to us tomorrow. Also..."
Xu Yunfan told Qin Run about the chicken and duck feet he had ordered. "So, you have to go to Qin Sanniang's house later. And when you discuss Uncle Fang's matter with Uncle Fang, mention it to see if Uncle Fang is willing to let Fang Er and Fang San work in the cafeteria. After all, they are not too old, and he might be worried."
Qin Run didn't even think about this question. "Uncle Fang will definitely agree. Fang Er and Fang San are under the care of Fang Yi, and we and Aunt Qin are watching over them. What can go wrong?"
Qin Run was right. If Fang Er and Fang San were to go to the town to work alone, Fang the Hunter would really be worried. After all, the two children were not too young, but not old enough for them to be at ease. But they followed Qin Run, and Fang Yi and Aunt Qin were watching them. They would teach them if they didn't know something. What was there for him to worry about?
If she had to say she was worried, it was because Fang the Hunter was worried about her own frail husband.
Qin Run didn't know that Fang Fulang's cooking skills were not self-taught, nor were they innate, but were taught by Grandpa Fang. In addition, Fang Fulang was indeed talented in this area, which is why he was so outstanding.
It was obviously not enough to hire only Mr. Fang as the chef in the cafeteria, so Qin Run simply hired Grandpa Fang as well.
However, Qin Run was not stupid and would not make a promise out of hand. Instead, he would let them go to work tomorrow and show off their skills. If they were suitable and could adapt, both parties would sign the contract.
In this regard, Xu Yunfan said that Qin Run did have some brains. Even if it was a relative, he would not act rashly and not do the assessment. He agreed on the spot without saying anything.
After returning home, Xu Yunfan opened the suitcase without stopping. He knew that this thing had some "sense of connection" with him. As soon as he opened the suitcase, Xu Yunfan saw a roll of blackboard stickers and more than twenty boxes of chalk.
This roll of blackboard stickers was not small. When Xu Yunfan took it out and looked at it, he found that its specifications were 30 cm wide and 6 meters long. If he divided it into three parts and pasted them vertically, he could make a blackboard that was 90 cm wide and 2 meters long.
Ono, who was watering the vegetables in the yard, watched his brother-in-law change into coarse clothes, take out some wooden boards and tools from the backyard, and start working with the clanging noises.
Xiao Ye walked over curiously, holding a watering can in one hand. One side of his trouser leg was wet, and his little face was sweaty. He blinked and said, "Brother."
He wanted to ask, Gefu, what are you doing?
Even though he didn't finish his words, just shouted, Xu Yunfan knew what he wanted to say, "Brother is making a blackboard. This thing is what Brother uses for class. Have you finished watering the vegetables?"
"No." Ono shook his head and turned around to go back to his own work.
Xu Yunfan didn't care about him. He was just a child, so he had to do some housework within his ability when it was time to work. He was not a rich young master, so how could he expect to have everything handed to him?
Even if he makes a lot of money in the future, he still has to do what he can and when it is time to do it, as he has two children at home.
Qin Run went to Fang the Hunter's house before going to Qin Sanniang's house. When he came back, he was carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, and no one knew what was in it.
As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard gate, Qin Run heard the sound of thudding and clanging coming from inside. This sound was only produced when Xu Yunfan was doing carpentry work.
So, what is Xu Yunfan doing again?
Before Qin Run had the chance to ask Xu Yunfan what he was doing, Xu Yunfan asked him what he brought back.
"This is something Fang Er and Fang San found when they went up the mountain. They said you're knowledgeable and even know about black seed fruits, so they asked me to bring this thing back to show you."
As soon as Xu Yunfan saw the fruit Qin Run handed over, he immediately laughed, as if he saw a basket of silver waving to him. "This is the lychee, also known as the jelly fruit. It can be used to make jelly. Where did they find it? You can ask Uncle Fang to pick them all and then make jelly to sell."
As he spoke, Xu Yunfan looked up at the sky. It was getting dark, but not so dark that he couldn't see the road. "Go tell them now and buy as much of this stuff as they have. This jelly fruit can only be picked from July to October. After that time, it's gone. Now it's August, so we can still pick it for more than a month."
"Okay, I'll go tell Uncle Fang right away." Qin Run, who was afraid that it would be out of season, turned around and ran away without Xu Yunfan's instructions when he heard Xu Yunfan say that this thing could be used to make food and sold. As for the price, considering the character of both families, it would not be too late to discuss it later.
Watching Qin Run's back running away, Xu Yunfan looked up at the sky and sighed, his tone full of helplessness, extremely shameless and helpless, and said with melancholy: "Alas, these days, it's hard for someone as capable as me not to make money and get rich! Alas, how come the men of the Xu family are so good at making money? And each one is so outstanding? How can other men live like this!"
Uncle Zhou, who was holding a chicken in his left hand and a chicken in his right hand, just arrived outside the yard gate when he heard Xu Yunfan's sigh that sounded like self-blame and guilt, and suddenly there was silence.
This guy from Xiao Qin's family is a handsome man, so why... is he so overconfident?
"Xu kid." Although the gate of Xiao Qin's house was open, Uncle Zhou shouted from outside the door but did not go in directly.
Hearing someone calling him, Xu Yunfan turned his head and looked, "Hey, Uncle Zhou, why are you here? Come in quickly."
Xu Yunfan put down the tools in his hand, went into the house, took out a low stool and placed it under the eaves, "Uncle Zhou, please sit down. Oh, you are so polite, aren't you? Why did you come over and bring me a chicken? This is so embarrassing."
You don't need to ask to know that since he came to my house with two chickens, they must be gifts for me.
Uncle Zhou choked. He hadn't said a word since he entered the house. How could Xu Yunfan know that the chicken was definitely for him? Couldn't he have just caught the chicken and come over to sit for a while?
However, Xu Yunfan was not wrong. He had indeed caught this chicken specially to thank Xu Yunfan. His mother-in-law had even kept an eye on him and told him to pick only big, old hens, saying that old hens were more nutritious.
"Look, you saved my life last time. I don't have any good things. These are the old hens I raised at home. I have raised them for two years. They are very delicious when used to make soup. Don't be disgusted by them." Uncle Zhou knew that Xu Yunfan was the son of a wealthy family and came from overseas, so he might not be interested in his two old hens.
I can never repay your life-saving grace, no matter how much money you give.
Uncle Zhou took out another purse, which contained ten taels of silver. These ten taels of silver could be said to be most of their family's savings. "Xu boy, I know the things you deposited for me the other day were very expensive. I don't have much money, so take these ten taels of silver."
Things that can cure snake venom are naturally not cheap. I heard that some snake venom can be cured, but it will cost dozens or even hundreds of taels to ask a doctor to do it. Xu Yunfan injected himself with that thing once, and it has been a few days, but he is still alive and well and eats well. It can be seen how magical the thing Xu Yunfan injected him is. It is ten times more powerful than the medicine prescribed by the doctor in town.
Originally, as Uncle Zhou's husband, the village chief should have come to express his gratitude, but Sun Wu said that Xu Yunfan needed a lot of firewood and needed to buy a lot of sweet potatoes. The village chief thought that he knew the village chiefs of other villages and knew which village had the best harvest.
Moreover, Xu Yunfan asked Qin Daqian and others to purchase sweet potatoes. If a few men rashly entered the village, people would probably think that they had bad intentions and would not welcome them.
The village chief thought about it, and then took Qin Daqian and his team to several villages. He talked with the village chiefs of those villages and asked them to shout a few times, asking anyone who had sweet potatoes to sell to sell them to Qin Daqian and his team.
This is much easier than asking Qin Daqian and others to ask every household, and it saves time, effort and trouble.
The village chief went to help, and Uncle Zhou thought that this matter could not be delayed, so he came over himself carrying two chickens.
On the way here, countless villagers saw him and chatted with him, asking him how he was feeling and whether the treatment Xu Yunfan gave him that night was effective.
The night Uncle Zhou returned from town, the villagers who had gone there saw it with their own eyes, but the others had only heard about it and were still skeptical about it.
But at this moment, Uncle Zhou was standing in front of them with two chickens and a rosy face. Even if Uncle Zhou didn't say anything, they already believed him 50%.
Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "Ah, whether it's useful or not, you'll know when you see me. It's been a few days since I was bitten by Guo Shanfeng. If it weren't for Xu Yunfan, you would have all gone to my house for a feast. How could I stand here and talk to you? If Xu Yunfan didn't have some skills, how could Sun Mu's wife and his son be safe?"
Sun Mu's wife Li Hui had an abnormal fetal position, and everyone in the village knew about it.
That day, Sun Mu took Li Hui to Jishidiang with a glimmer of hope, thinking that maybe his aunt had touched it wrong, or maybe the baby's position was correct?
It was with this hope that they learned that Li Hui's fetus was indeed in an abnormal position. When they returned to the village, the couple's eyes were red and swollen. When others saw it, the couple started to cry as soon as they opened their mouths to speak. They choked with sobs and said sadly that Li Hui's fetus was in an abnormal position. The doctor said that in this case, it would be lucky if the adult could be saved.
The most frightening thing is two lives lost for one corpse.
After all, they had seen few women with malpositioned fetuses who were able to give birth to their babies, and some adults could not bear it and eventually died as well.
The daughter-in-law had been married for less than two years and the two were in love. When Li Hui became pregnant, the couple were full of expectations, but this expectation brought them a burden that they could not bear.
The villagers didn't know how to comfort the young couple, so they all got ready and planned to go to Sun Mu's house for a banquet in a few days. As a result, Li Hui not only gave birth to a son, but is also doing well now.
As for why Li Hui and her son are still safe and sound, the villagers who were unaware of the situation heard that it was because Sun Muqiu came to ask Xu Yunfan for help.
If Xu Yunfan had not taken action, would Li Huineng and her child be safe?
Her aunt also said that Li Hui's fetus was in an abnormal position and she tried to turn it over for a long time but failed. She could only watch and worry about it. But when Xu Yunfan came, he asked a few questions, touched Li Hui's belly, and finally turned the baby over. He didn't even look at Li Hui's lower body during the whole process. Don't you think this is magical and amazing?
Aunt Li Hui's action sounded like she was praising Xu Yunfan, but in fact, she had a selfish motive. She used this praise of Xu Yunfan and her admiration for him to indirectly tell the villagers that Xu Yunfan had not seen any parts of Li Hui that he shouldn't have seen.
If these things are not made clear, some gossips may talk about Li Hui behind her back. These gossips can hurt people and can also kill people.
Who in the village doesn’t know about Li Hui’s incident?
Now that they saw Uncle Zhou standing here, the villagers believed even more that Xu Yunfan was really capable.
In the village, these things that can be talked about after dinner and those things that are based on hearsay and made up out of nothing can spread the fastest like the wind.
