Border Cook

"Look at you, you look like a hopeless person, as if you have never seen money before?" Yin Lingyou curled his lips, "Is there not enough money left in the family now?"

"There is a lot of silver in the house, but different kinds of silver are different." Mao Sanli laughed.

"What's the difference?"

"That silver was earned from selling things, and this silver is from consultation fees, earned." Mao Sanli looked up and sighed, "I can't even remember the last time I received consultation fees, so I'm naturally very happy."

"Master received one or two taels of silver for his medical consultation today. This person came here because of gossip spread by outsiders. This means that many people outside know about our Huichuntang. In the future, more and more people will come here because of our reputation."

"For each person who comes, I will not say one tael of silver, but five cents of silver. One person is five cents of silver, ten people are five taels, and a hundred people are fifty taels!"

"If Master holds on tightly, it will definitely not be a problem for him to earn a thousand or eight hundred silver coins this month!"

Thousands and eight hundred...

Even the landlord’s mule isn’t so tired!
You really don't treat your master as a human being, right?
Yin Lingyou was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time. When he saw the clear, stupid and expectant light in Mao Sanli's eyes, he swallowed all the insults that were about to slip out of his mouth.

Well, the disciple that I chose in the first place would not be beaten to death.

Punish him by not allowing him to eat meat for two days!
Here, Xia Mingyue was still teaching cooking according to the established teaching plan. During breaks, she would go to the orchard to check on the current condition of the orchard.

Guo Kanglai was following the plan he had agreed upon with Xia Mingyue earlier and was starting to dig ponds and raise poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, and pigs. In the gaps between the fruit trees, he had begun to plant early potatoes, spring sweet potatoes and other crops that could be harvested in summer.

In addition, Guo Kanglai also proposed digging two more cellars to facilitate the storage of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some fruits.

"Just do as Manager Guo said." Xia Mingyue nodded in agreement.

"Madam Xia, you came a little early today. The peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet. You can come back to enjoy the flowers in ten days or so when the peach blossoms are in full bloom."

Guo Kanglai said, "The peach blossoms here are beautiful in color and multi-layered. It is definitely a rare sight. Pick some peach blossom petals and make them into food or scented sachets to put in the house. It is also very practical."

"If Madam Xia is too busy to take time off, I will give her some of the gifts when the time comes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Xia Mingyue could respond, a burst of extremely rapid "woof woof" dog barking was suddenly heard.

The voice was shrill, not Wu Jin's voice, and it was noisy, obviously there were more than one dogs.

"What happened?" Xia Mingyue stuck her head out to look, but she was deep in the orchard at the moment, and all she could see were lush fruit trees, so she couldn't see anything at all.

"I guess it's someone from the Zhang family again." Guo Kanglai's face darkened and he walked out in a hurry.

"Again?" Xia Mingyue quickly followed.

"I haven't had time to tell Madam Xia about this yet." Guo Kanglai kept walking while explaining, "The Zhang family also wanted to buy this orchard before, but when they saw that the previous owner was in a hurry to go to the capital, they wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price and only offered 650 taels of silver."

"Besides, the Zhang family doesn't have a good reputation outside and often exploits tenants, so the owner was unwilling to sell. It just so happened that Madam Xia wanted to buy it, so the two sides had a pleasant discussion and the orchard was sold to Madam Xia."

"After hearing about this, the Zhang family was very dissatisfied. A few days ago, Zhang Chunwang brought a few servants and dogs to the outside of the orchard and started cursing and even wanted to let the dogs bite people. In the end, it was only after we threatened to report to the police that the matter was temporarily settled." "I thought that Zhang Chunwang would just make a fuss and let the matter go, but I didn't expect him to do it again today..."

As they were talking, Xia Mingyue and Guo Kanglai arrived at the edge of the orchard and saw a young man dressed in bright silk and with a fierce face. Behind him were several servants in blue clothes, all of whom looked aggressive.

"It's Zhang Chunwang." Guo Kanglai gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go take a look. Madam Xia, please go to the house and rest for a while, so as not to disturb her."

Zhang Chunwang is a vulgar person. When he scolds people, he uses a lot of foul language, which is really disgusting to hear.

Guo Kanglai didn't want to pollute Xia Mingyue's ears.

"Zhang Chunwang didn't come earlier or later, but he came at this time. He must have heard that I came to the orchard today, and wanted to show off. If I hide away, he will think I am timid and weak-willed, and he will be more motivated to come to the orchard to cause trouble."

Xia Mingyue said, "It would be better if I go and take a look together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar "woof woof" sound was heard in the distance.

Xia Mingyue looked up and saw Wu Jin running towards her.

Under the sun, his jet-black hair shone brightly, making him look even taller, more powerful and more agile.

Running to Xia Mingyue, Wu Jin stuck out his tongue and barked twice very seriously.

Who doesn’t have a dog at home?
Since the other party brought a dog, its owner must also bring a dog, so that it will appear more imposing!

Besides, if the master is going to confront the other party, there is no reason for Wu Jin not to be present.

Guo Kanglai felt that what Xia Mingyue said made some sense, so he nodded, and walked forward with her and Wu Jin to Zhang Chunwang.

Zhang Chunwang was short and fat, with a face full of flesh and a fierce look. Seeing a woman with good temperament and pretty appearance following Guo Kanglai, he guessed that she was the new owner of the orchard. He straightened his body and leaned back slightly, full of arrogance, with a little vulgarity in his narrowed eyes, "Hey, where did this little girl come from? She is so pretty. Why don't you come back with me to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks?"

Guo Kanglai and others were so angry when they saw Zhang Chunwang was so rude and disrespectful that their faces turned red and they were about to scold him.

Xia Mingyue, however, had a calm expression on her face. She just stretched out her hand and fanned the air. "Who said that bullshit? It's really loud and smelly. Look at this posture. He must have eaten two zombies for breakfast this morning. The moment he opened his mouth, he smelled the stench of old corpses."

As soon as the words fell, Guo Kanglai and everyone else were shocked.

They had met Madam Xia several times. She was pretty, gentle, and spoke softly and slowly. She was very friendly and a very gentle and kind person.

But at this moment, such sharp and confrontational words came from the extremely gentle Madam Xia.

It's really unexpected!
But it really sounds refreshing!
My master is so awesome, he can choke this dog to death with this thing that can't even spit out ivory!

Guo Kanglai and his group were gloating over the misfortune, but Zhang Chunwang's face was completely black. "You are a shameless person. You really take yourself seriously and put on airs. Bah! Shameless person!" (End of this chapter)
