Volume 1 Chapter 11 Touching Yu Dayou

Nowadays, it is not easy to buy a decent table of wine and food in rural areas, because there is no special market in the countryside, and chickens and fishes must be caught and killed. As for pork, it is even more troublesome. A pig can be at least hundreds of kilograms, so people won’t beheaded pigs just to sell some meat.

However, there is no way to buy meat in this countryside. Generally, if a village kills pigs, the nearby villages will receive news that they can still buy meat if they go earlier.

Since Yang had decided to make a meal for her son and Yang Cong, she no longer hesitated. She ran out of the main hall and shouted: "Goudan, gouyuan, hurry up, come here."

As soon as she finished speaking, two eleven or twelve-year-old children ran in from the crowd of children watching the fun outside and said excitedly: "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Yang said to the older child without hesitation: "Goudan, go to Qingyuan Mountain to call your brother Dayou back, and then he said that his friend Qingfeng has come to visit his house."

Hearing this, Goudan replied "Good" and then turned around and ran away.

This Haogetou Village is actually next to Qingyuan Mountain, and Qingyuan Cave is only about ten miles away from the village. At this moment, the children in rural areas are nothing to do if they run around ten miles, just because their family members don’t let them run around.

This Goudan had long wanted to go to Qingyuan Mountain to have fun, but he was afraid that his family would scold him. Now that he received the advice of the Yu family aunt, his family would not scold him anymore. Naturally, he ran away happily.

Yang looked at his back as he ran and jumped, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then said to the remaining little guy: "Gou Sheng, go to the field to ask your parents to come back, and he said that the aunt wanted a few fish, and wanted to ask them to buy some meat."

When Gou Sheng heard this, he shouted, "Eat fish today", while jumping and running.

Although his family has a fish pond, it is impossible to eat fish every day. Only when other people want to buy fish in their homes will his parents catch one more and eat it by themselves, so he is so excited.

Seeing this, other children showed envious expressions, and some even saliva flowed out.

Seeing this, Yang shook his head and smiled, "Okay, okay, I think you are greedy. Let the dog leftover parents buy more meat later. At noon today, each of them will pick up a piece and go play."

When the children outside the yard heard this, they immediately scattered. They could still hear them cheering from afar, "It's okay to eat meat, it's okay to eat meat."

Seeing that the children had all scattered, Yang looked around in the yard. After a while, she found the big rooster that was eating by worms in the corner. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and caught the big rooster, skillfully snatched its wings back, and then carried them into the house.

At this moment, almost every household in the countryside is feeding chickens. If the remaining ones are more abundant at home, they feed less. However, most people use eggs as meat dishes. Except for the Chinese New Year, few people kill chickens to eat.

Yang didn't feed a few chickens at first, and this big rooster was the last rooster in her family. A few hens hatched chickens rely on it, but these are nothing more important now. Yang Cong waved his hand and costs hundreds of taels of silver. I wonder how many chickens he could buy, but she could still be stingy with this rooster.

Yang Cong was bored at this moment. When he saw Yang coming in with a big rooster, he subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and wanted to follow him to help.

This time, not only was Yang shocked, but even Hou Zhitan, who was standing aside, was shocked.

It’s not that if you are a man now, you don’t have to do housework. Ordinary people don’t have to distinguish between men and women at home. Women have to help with the work in the fields, and men also help with the work at home.

Anyone who wants to do nothing all day long and just wait for dinner is a bastard, and the whole village will look down on it.

The problem is that Yang Cong has a different identity. He is a real rich man. It is good if he can stretch out his hands in clothes. It is good if he doesn’t want anyone to feed him. It is good if he helps to cook. What a joke!

Of course, Yang refused, even Hou Zhitan pulled him and refused to let him go.

When Yang Cong saw this situation, he was going even more.

At the beginning, he was a habit, because in his previous life he mostly cooked by himself, and it was necessary to help his parents cook when he went home, and he got used to it.

At this moment, Yang refused, and Hou Zhitan pulled him in a hurry, and he had an idea in an instant.

If Yu Dayou came back and saw him helping his mother with housework, he would probably be very moved.

So, he was like a stubborn donkey, saying that he had to follow him and help him.

Yang refused for a while, but when Yang Cong insisted on helping, he didn't say anything. It was the first time she had dealt with the rich children. She didn't know how noble the rich children were, but Hou Zhitan was still trying hard to dissuade him and even wanted to help Yang.

It's useless to go. Yang Cong pretended to show the ambition of a rich child, and shouted to Hou Zhitan directly: "Are you annoying? You finally went out. Can you let me have a good time? Just wait for this and help the aunt watch the silver. Don't talk anymore."

Hou Zhitan had no choice but to eat and drink. Well, the eldest young master thought it was fun. What else could he do? He could only stand there and watch two bags of silver, but Yang Cong followed Yang into the kitchen with great enthusiasm.

The kitchen of Yu Dayou's family is also quite spacious, the stove is quite large, and the iron pot in the middle is even more terrifying. The pot mouth is half a meter square, and there are two smaller ones on both sides. The pot mouth is at least three feet in diameter, which is enough to prove the prosperity of the Yu family.

This is the first time Yang Cong has entered a rural kitchen like this. Everything looks fresh. The excitement is not something that can be pretended. When Yang saw his expression, he really thought he was "playing" with something new.

Seeing Yang Cong acting so excited, she didn't think much about it, and just thought that Yang Cong was the child of an ordinary family.

Yang Cong naturally cooperated with him. When Yang boiled water, he helped burn the fire. When Yang killed chickens, he helped pluck the hair, and did not think that he was a rich child.

Not long after, Goudan's parents came with a few fish. Yang directly gave Goudan's parents a ingot of silver and asked them to help them go to the villages to find some wine and meat, and then started killing the fish and removing the scales, preparing seasonings such as ginger and onions. Yang Cong helped to carry water and wash vegetables, and was very busy.

Before noon, a sensual smell of meat came out of the Yu family courtyard. At this time, Yu Dayou finally ran back with Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan. When he saw Yang Cong in the kitchen, he was busy and sweating profusely, and covered in wood ash, he was really moved.

In fact, Yang Cong's move is not very clever, and for ordinary people, this move is a bit bad.

He is not a fool. You, a rich man, ran to my house for nothing, and gave money and helped with cooking. It would be strange if you had no intention.

However, Yu Dayou is different from ordinary people. He is really a bit honest or too honest. Not only did Yang Cong do this, he not only did not arouse suspicion, but he felt that Yang Cong was not as stinky as a rich man, and was willing to help others, and deserved close friends.

Yang and Yu Dayou had similar thoughts and were not very careful. When she saw that her son came back, she kept praising Yang Cong's goodness and strongly instructed Yu Dayou to help Yang Cong and not let this good boy be bullied.

Yu Dayou is actually nothing at this moment. He has mastered his martial arts and military tactics. For him, the imperial examination is just a drop in the side dishes. All he lacks is the travel expenses to the capital.

Yang's side beat the drum, and he already had a good impression of Yang Cong. As soon as Yang Cong invited him, he agreed to follow Hui'an to help. Even Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan were clamoring to go together.
