Mei found that Gui Chongyang had changed his face and was a little strange.

Chongyang loves sweet food, why don’t you like this? When she took a bite, she immediately understood the reason and frowned: “This Du Qi is really careless!”

Gui Chongyang put down the cake in his hand and rinsed his mouth with tea.

Since Gui Yuan passed away last year and Gui Chongyang started vegetarian food, it has been more than ten months since then. He has been exposed to meat and fish, but he doesn’t feel fragrant, but instead brings a bit of fishy smell.

Mei Xiaoba was still confused, looking at the small tooth cake left in her hand, her big eyes flashing, trying to see if there was something wrong.

Mei Duo hadn't eaten yet, and she was holding the cake and didn't dare to bite it anymore. She frowned and said, "Has the Du family deliberately added something?"

She was suspicious of the Du family in her heart, and she naturally looked at the Du family without any favors.

Mei shook her head and said, "You can eat it without any trouble. I used a lot of oil."

Mei Duo, Mei Xiaoba and Gui Chongyang were eating at the same table. He knew that he was vegetarian. Mei Duo was immediately angry: "The Du family's designation was intentional, and it deliberately did not explain it clearly, which made people feel disgusting!"

Mei frowned and said, "Eating so finely is not even seen in the town. How can this disgusting person be used? Most of the time, Du Qi is careless, don't make a big deal!"

Mei Duo was still indignant and threw away the cake in his hand.

Mei Xiaoba was honest and said justice, "Du Qi doesn't go to the kitchen, so he can't tell the difference between vegetarian oil and big oil at all!"

Gui Chongyang nodded and agreed with Mei Xiaoba's remarks.

He changed his face before, not only because there was meat in the cake, but also because it was the authentic "Taishi Cake".

"Taishi Cake" is also called "Taishi Cake". There are two sources. One is that it is traced back to the Shang Dynasty. When King Wu defeated Zhou, the Shang Dynasty led a large army to resist. Taishi Wen, who invented this sugar cake as military rations. Later, he was defeated by the Shang Dynasty. However, the "Taishi Cake" method was passed down and was later mistakenly recorded as "Taishi Cake".

Another saying is that the cake is "Taishi Cake", which is a sugar cake sent to the prison by relatives and friends through relationships after Sima Qian was imprisoned in the Han Dynasty. Later, it became known as "Taishi Cake", and "Taishi Cake" was a misinformation.

I don’t know which of these two statements is correct, but this cake is indeed a famous point of the Jinling generation.

You should know that the sugar and osmanthus inside are also ingredients in the south, and are not common in the north. The Du family’s “Taishi Cake” is not similar, but the taste is very close to that of Gui Chongyang when he was in Jinling.

Is the chef of the Du family from Jinling? Or is Du Li from Jinling?

If Du Lizheng was not from the south, there was no reason to raise a chef from the south at home. Finally, it was a clue. Du Lizheng could not have fallen out of thin air. As long as there were clues, he could not find out his background by following the clues.

I remembered Gui Chongyang in my heart, so I asked about the autumn harvest.

The two houses in Gui family have only eight acres of land. Because they were used to go to the fields, they originally planted cold-resistant sorghum, but at the end of May, they were ruined by wild boars who went down the mountain. Later, they replanted the millet, and now it is time to harvest the millet.

As for the fifteen acres of land obtained by Mei family and Mei Duo, there is only the land deed. It was previously rented out by Mei Tong's family. The one who planted it was not someone else, but Mei Xiaoba's uncle's family.

Long before Mei Tongsheng transferred the property, it was agreed that the rent for this season would still be handed over to Mei Tongsheng, but Mei's own responsibility for the autumn tax this year.

The Mei family has two scholars, one scholar is exempt from taxes of 80 acres, and the uncle and nephew are exempt from taxes of 160 acres.

Before her birth, Mei Tong held two houses of Mei family, which totaled only more than 60 acres. The rest were all lands of the Mei family, which were hung under the name of Mei family's parents' house.

60% of the money and food saved by tax exemption belongs to Mei’s parents’ house.

Before her birth, Mei Tong was forced to give Mei's aunt and nephew a fifteen acres of land. It was already heartbreaking. How could she let Mei take advantage of her family? She naturally asked her to pay the autumn tax herself, and she collected fifteen acres of tax-free land from her clan members to make up for it.

For this reason, the fifteen acres of land under the name of Mei’s aunt and nephew do not need the Gui family’s autumn harvest this year, but it is necessary to make a new agreement with Mei Xiaoba’s uncle’s family after the autumn harvest.

"Chun'er said that the family has few land, and it will be almost done in one or two days. Then go to the Yang family and the Zhang family to help." Mei Shi said.

Gui Chongyang nodded. After experiencing wheat, cutting millet is not difficult to work.

Although Gui Chongyang was resistant to farm work, he did not only look at Gui Chun's work.

When Mei Xiaoba mentioned the autumn harvest, she was a little eager to try it, but also a little sudden.

How many rural children don’t learn farming? It’s Yang Wu, who is only thirteen years old, has been going to the fields with his father and brother for several years.

Here at Mei Xiaoba, Mei Qingmu originally planned to teach him farming this autumn harvest, but the father and son had little fate, so he became uncle and nephew before this day.

*

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba changed into old clothes and took a sickle to the second room to meet Guichun. Mei and Mei Duo also went with him, intending to help in the kitchen.

In addition to Guichun, Grandpa Gui Second, Grandma Gui Second, and Yang also wore old clothes and a veil on their heads, which obviously meant to go to the ground.

Seeing this, Mei couldn't help but feel uneasy and wanted to go with her.

As for Mei Duo, his unmarried daughter, she has no reason to work in the fields.

Second Grandma Gui fucked her loud voice and said to Mei: "Where are your hands doing farm work? Don't make trouble with it! The bacon was taken out, and it was in the kitchen, with the noodles, steamed steamed buns at noon, and then stewed the bacon in the snow!"

Mei immediately responded.

Unexpectedly, before everyone could go out, the Yang family came. In addition to Yang Jinzhu, Yang Wu and his son, Yang Wei, the eldest son of the Yang family. Yang Wei and Gui Chun are of similar age and look very familiar.

There were only eight acres of land in total, and they could not use these people. Grandma Gui and Yang stayed at home, and the others went to the Mizuli land in the back mountain.

In this land at the foot of the back mountain, eight mu belongs to the Gui family, four mu belongs to the Yang Yinzhu family, and six mu belongs to the Lin family.

After being ruined by wild boars, the Gui family and Yang family replanted millets for food rations; the Lin family did not short of food rations, so they were asked to beans grown by people and used for fat land.

Now that the millet is ripe and the beans are not ripe, there is no movement in the Lin family’s field.

Compared with the eight acres of millet that the Gui family has meticulously worked in, the four acres of land in the Yang family are still sparse, looking sad.

Gui Chongyang looked at Yang Jinzhu, and saw Yang Jinzhu staring at the ground next to him, looking bitter and revengeful.

Gui Chongyang couldn't help but be curious. Yang Jinzhu's family thought that the girl and her nephew had few laborers and took the initiative to come to the autumn harvest. Will the autumn harvest be also included in the brothers' family?

Whether Yang Jinzhu helps his brothers to harvest autumn, it is not today's business. Today we are harvesting the eight acres of land of the Gui family.

Although Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba also took a sickle, who expected them to really work?

It was still Grandpa Gui Er, Gui Chun, Yang Jinzhu, and Yang Wei who were separated and pointed to the other part of the ground, asking Yang Wei to look at Gu Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba so that they would not have cut their hands.

Yang Wei studied farming for several years and was already half a labor force. He demonstrated several postures for Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba, and then started working hard. His speed was no worse than that of a few adults.

Gui Chongyang has participated in the wheat harvest once, so he naturally uses a sickle. In addition, he is not very strong, but he is not patient enough. He bows for a while and then gets up to take a break.

As for Mei Xiaoba, the first time she participated in the harvest autumn, it was not the first time she used a sickle. His stepmother seemed to not let him work, but only let him play in the village, but in fact, she did not miss the scattered work of picking pigs and vegetables and putting chickens and ducks. Therefore, Mei Xiaoba's sickle was more familiar than Gui Chongyang.

Three and a half-year-old boys, and they almost as much as two laborers together.

When everyone arrived at the land, they only had the harvest of nearly six acres (5 o'clock in the morning) at the beginning of the afternoon (eleven o'clock in the afternoon), and only less than two acres were left. In less than an hour, they could harvest them.

Everyone was drinking water on the ground and rested. Yang Jinzhu looked at the place where the boys had just harvested and said to Grandpa Gui Er: "Double Yang and Xiao Ba are good, they are both good kids."

Especially Gui Chongyang, looking at her gentle and gentle, she is not lazy in her work.

Grandpa Gui Er was relieved. One of these two was the eldest son of the eldest son and the other was the heir under his nephew's name. They would have to support the door in the future. Now they all looked good kids.

But people who have always praised other people's children, but there is no reason to praise their own children. Grandpa Gui Er waved his hand and said, "Just follow the nonsense, how can you compare to Xiao Wuzi? You are not bad at all!"

Yang Jinzhu shook his head and said, "It's just a fool's strength. He is not as smart as Chongyang. He and Xiaoba both stared at Chongyang."

Grandpa Gui Er still said modestly: "It's not worth reading for two days early."

Gui Chun was Yang Wei at the same place. Yang Wei hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Cousin Chun, is there any tofu dishes in the shop on Uncle Gui Wu's side?"

Baiwei Xiang Food Store has only been open for three or four days, but rumors about Guiwu's "developed" have spread throughout Mujia Village. How big is it to open three shops at the same time?

I heard that all the yamen went to congratulate me, which is a rumor.

It was because of the strong momentum of the Tie Monk. In addition, some people recognized Zhong Da who was following behind as a minor official in the county government. They just thought that Tie Monk was a master from the county government to travel, so there was such a rumor.

In addition, yesterday was August 20th, and on October 20th, there were large markets in the town. Many families in Mujia Village used to go to markets. Some people stopped outside Baiweixiang, and some were spacious at home. They took more than ten dollars to eat meat.

The braised pork, snacks, and snacks of Baiweixiang have produced many new rumors overnight.

Yang Wei heard the excitement from his father and brothers, and naturally he knew more than the villagers. He couldn't help but feel hope. He didn't want to take advantage of the Gui family, but wanted to find a fixed customer for his tofu shop.

Gui Chun was stunned and said to the truth: "I have been opening the business for a long time. I don't know very much, but Chongyang should know." After that, he called Gui Chongyang over.

Gui Chongyang also has a good impression of this cousin of the Yang family. He is a capable person. Because he often sells tofu outside, he is more tactful than Yang Jinzhu.

When the other party asked if Baiweixiang had any tofu vegetables, Gui Chongyang couldn't help laughing. This was just like him. He had thought about finding an opportunity to repay the Yang family.

"After all, it is a fast food shop. In addition to the porridge and soup prepared in advance, the vegetarian dishes served in those shops are side dishes that are pickled in advance, and the meat dishes served are braised and not cooked." Gui Chongyang said: "I guess there is not much tofu used, but it is bean curd, dried tofu, etc. If my cousin can provide it in quantity, I can mention it with Uncle Wu."
