Chapter 246 246. Never get used to it
There were eight pieces of pastry on a small white plate, which were beautifully arranged. Shen Xingqi picked up one and thought it was delicious. The only man had tasted it once. Then I stopped touching it.
Seeing this, Cheng Xi remembered that she had never made such sweets for the two of them, and she had not noticed it before.
However, it is extremely rare even in modern times for men to like sweet things.
The four signature dishes were served quickly, but Shen Xingqi found each dish tasteless after one bite.
"My sister-in-law's cooking is still delicious."
Cheng Xi commented sincerely, "Your skills are better than those of the restaurant chef."
The dishes on the table tend to be steamed and cooked, and there are not many seasonings for stir-fry dishes. , the taste is naturally not very good, but the taste of the ingredients itself is also highlighted, which makes the taste very unique.
None of them have the habit of wasting. Fortunately, the restaurant's dishes are exquisite. The four-course meal is small in quantity, which is not a problem for a few big eaters.
Shen Xingluo didn't frown during the whole process. Cheng Xi repeatedly sighed at his superb expression management. You must know that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and it is not ordinary to go from luxury to frugality.
Look, the little girl next to me has been heading towards the cakes.
"So that Zhao An has always disliked you?"
Cheng Xi dragged his chin and observed Shen Xingluo. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this kind of thing was very reasonable. He already had a long hair. A face full of hatred, not to mention a top-notch talent?
"It is mediocre not to be envied by others. My husband has worked hard these years."
"My wife must have worked hard those years too."
Shen Xingluo glanced at her. He still remembered how many certificates and trophies there were in the villa. They were all equally divided.
"Then the Zhao family"
"It's just a clown, Madam, don't pay attention to it."
"." The second-ranked wealthy businessman in Fucheng can really use the four clowns One word to describe it?
Cheng Xi was speechless for a long time, and finally chose to give the Zhao family some wax silently.
She has been with Shen Xingluo for so long, so she knows what he is like very well. Since she dares to say this, she must have already made a plan in her heart. If she is really unlucky, it will definitely be the Zhao family.
The carriage gradually stopped, and Wang Shu's voice came from outside, "Master, madam, we're here."
When the two got off the car, they saw an angry old man standing at the door of Shen's courtyard, with a chin on his face. His beard curled up and down with his breathing.
"Unfilial disciple, unfilial disciple! It's unjust. She took her husband and sister to the city to enjoy the scenery and eat delicious food, but she left her master alone at home and starved to death without anyone knowing!" "
"Master, did you meet Mrs. Shen Zhang at the free clinic today?"
She was familiar with this tone of voice. Shen Ziqing's mother was the only one in Shen Village who had this tone.
Xu Lao was startled, "So the woman who likes to lie on the ground and roll around is Shen Zhang?"
"."You don't know who the other person is and you still imitate others? Where is the face!
"Master, didn't I tell you this morning? There is an aunt cooking in the ancestral hall every day. You can just eat with the patrol team."
While leaving, I still You promised well, why did you regret it after a long time? Let me also explain that the one who invited you to enjoy the flowers together was your refusal because you always dislike the beauty and beauty.
Mr. Xu snorted, with a disgusting expression.
"Can the food in the ancestral hall be eaten? In addition to stewed game, it is steamed buns and rice, and there is no wine!"
But that is something that ordinary people can't afford.
Cheng Xi was dumbfounded and opened the door and walked to the kitchen, "I'm going to make something to eat, just later."
If it weren't for the fact that her little girl didn't eat much at the restaurant, she would have never eaten. Not used to it!
Mr. Xu immediately smiled happily, hummed a tune and walked around with his hands behind his back.
The sun above the head has gradually shifted to the west, which means that it is past noon and it is impossible to cook a serious meal at this time. Cheng Xi simply makes some simple food to fill his stomach.
She drove Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu out of the kitchen, who were coming to help, and ducked into the space.
However, this operation could not stop Shen Xingluo. After she took out the refrigerated steak from the storage compartment where time stopped, he had already washed his hands and stood in front of the cooking table.
"What are you going to do?" "Easy, fry the steak, heat up the ready-made puff pastry, and make a few Chinese burgers."
Shen Xingluo took over the steak and took over almost all the work. Cheng Xi just went to the yard to pick two fist-sized tomatoes and a few lettuce leaves to help.
After a while, six generous burgers were completed.
One bite of the fried pastry that is golden brown on both sides is crispy, and the next bite is the black pepper steak and sliced tomatoes wrapped in lettuce leaves, which explode in your mouth instantly.
Mr. Xu squinted his eyes after eating, "This is what people eat. My mouth has been spoiled by you and your wife."
"." It turns out that you also know that you have a bad taste now.
The old man ate two hamburgers in one go and divided the remaining hamburgers equally between each person. His stomach instantly felt full.
After eating the snack, Mr. Xu didn't know where he went for a walk. Cheng Xi followed Shen Xingluo to the ten acres of land used by the clan to grow potatoes.
More than a month has passed since germination. After fertilizing once, the growth is quite gratifying.
“Look at this posture, it will bloom.”
"Well, it will be ready in a few days."
Blooming means that the plant will begin to bear fruit underground, and it will take a while to harvest.
The growth cycle of potatoes is about 60-100 days. Lin'an Prefecture is located in the central and northern parts of the country with four distinct seasons and a suitable climate. It can be grown twice a year. In the early stage, they shortened the time by raising seedlings at home.
“If you calculate it this way, if you plant it in mid-April, you can harvest it in late June or early July.”
You can catch up with the autumn planting in August.
Shen Xingluo was silent for a moment and looked sideways at her, "Xiaoxi."
"Huh?"
"How about we leave for the capital after the first potato harvest?"
Huh?
Cheng Xi was stunned, "Isn't the additional test after autumn at the end of August?"
No matter how slow this crop of potatoes grows, they will be harvested in early July at the latest, and it only takes 10 days to travel from Lin'an Prefecture to Beijing.
"Do you have anything to do?"
Shen Xingluo nodded invisibly, "These are small things, just leave them to Su Zhan and Fuguang. A few days ago I heard you talk about many beautiful mountains and rivers, why don’t you go visit them all?”
Cheng Xi suddenly remembered the travel book that she had torn through and her heart moved.
“But potato planting and promotion is such a big thing.”
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Xie is a good official. There is still Uncle Mantun in Shenjia Village. Don't worry."
If he has to do everything, what's the use of keeping others?
Shen Xingluo didn't take it seriously. He couldn't stay in Shenjia Village all the time. If he went to Beijing after autumn, he might not come back for a few years. Then Shenjia Village would have to rely on themselves.
"I remember that you have been talking to Uncle Mantun a few days ago. At that time, I thought you were discussing potato planting with him. Turns out you were arranging the following matters?"
"Mrs. Smart.”
"."
"So, Madam, do you want to accompany me to see half of Dayan's country?"
Shen Xingluo stretched out his hand towards her, staring at her with his dark eyes and making an invitation. .
Cheng Xi smiled sweetly without thinking, and put her hand on the warm hand in front of her.
“What an honor.”
