Chapter 409 The gentleman does not need to cook far away

Hard work pays off. As Xu Rou and Zhang Yi looked at each other and smiled, Xu Rou and his group finally stayed in Zhangjiazhuang.

No matter how many rumors he has, my sisters are going to marry. Are they afraid of those unclean words? Besides, we are talking so hard that we have been chatting and delaying the time. We have been curfewed in Chang'an City and cannot go back. We had to return to Zhangjiazhuang for a stay!

With the foundation for staying overnight, Xu Rou was no longer afraid of so much. She followed Zhang Yi to greet the people from the Xu family into Zhangjiazhuang, looking like a wife of the Zhang family, making the people from the Xu family who were accompanying him look at each other.

Sure enough, a girl is too old to stay. The water splashed by her married daughter is not enough to be married. Before she gets married, her arms are already crutched. If she gets married in the future, let alone facing the Xu family, even the imperial edict will not work even if Zhang Yi says.

But after thinking about it, the group still walked into Zhangjiazhuang. Their impression of Zhangjiazhuang and Zhang Yi were still very good. From the lives of the villagers who visited Zhangjiazhuang today, we can see that these villagers' lives are really good now, even much better than those of them who live in Xu's mansion.

They also have no worries about food and clothing. Even better, they don’t have to worry. If the Xu family collapses one day, then they will not be able to settle down, and the emperor will be humiliated and the ministers will die. However, the villagers of Zhangjiazhuang are different, and they will have much more stability.

These villagers not only have good material life, but also have great hope for their future. Now every family can have money and food, and their children can also study for free in private schools in Zhangjiazhuang. What a good treatment these are.

In this era, it is quite difficult for farmers' children to become scholars. Not to mention that their families have to support you, a person who only eats but not cooks. Just the purchase and use of books such as paper, pen, ink and inkstone, plus the purchase and use of books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, it is not even considered the money you need to hire a teacher. These things are not money, and the annual expenses of these things are not something that farmers can afford.

However, in Zhangjiazhuang, children can study for free, all for free, and even those children can go to work after school and get a considerable amount of money from the farm.

To be honest, these children who go to help after school make more money than those hired workers in Chang'an City. This is the gap!

And all of these are the result of Zhang Yi, the owner of Zhangjiazhuang, who spent money. If Zhang Yi refused to spend a lot of money, he would not have such an effect.

But they knew Zhang Yi's shrewdness, and even if the whole Chang'an pays attention to current affairs, they know the name Zhang Yi. Such a shrewd person would just ask him to spend a lot of money to benefit the people without caring about the cost, that would be nonsense.

No one in Chang'an knows that Zhang Yi is just a guy who falls into the eyes of money, from dried fish powder to the locust plague that time he gave alms and porridge, and he left the word money when he did things.

In fact, in Zhang Yi's words, no matter what the world is, it will be difficult for you to achieve without money.

If such a person stands opposite them, they will naturally hate him very much, but if they stand beside them, they will be very happy.

Now, Zhang Yi is about to become the son-in-law of the Xu family, and they even wanted to secretly ask Zhang Yi about going to Zhangjiazhuang to retire in the future.

There is no way. The conditions here are so good, eating, drinking, living, and children have good study and study. There is no need to worry about anything. In their eyes, such a place is like a paradise on earth.

After Zhang Yi and Xu Rou invited everyone into the Zhang Mansion, they began to prepare supper.

Tonight is Xu Rou's first day staying in Zhangjiazhuang, and it is also her first time having dinner in Zhangjiazhuang, so Zhang Yi plans to cook for them personally and cook for them so that they don't want to leave Zhangjiazhuang anymore.

Although the protagonist is Xu Rou, she will have many opportunities to eat the food she cooks in the future, it is also good for those accompanying servants to leave them a good memory. At least in the future, they will give themselves some convenience when they go to Xu's house to do business.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yi asked the chef to prepare some ingredients, fish, meat, and some spices, and then began to show his cooking skills in the kitchen.

Zhang Yi was busy in the kitchen. Xu Rou planned to go over and help, but Zhang Yi politely refused.

"You are still a guest now, so you can't let you go to the kitchen." Zhang Yi cut the ginger and signaled Xu Rou to watch.

In fact, he felt that Xu Rou was in trouble. A lady from a prominent family would at most cook some snacks. If she really wanted them to enter the kitchen, it would definitely be a disaster. So Zhang Yi didn't plan to ask her to help, and even if he started, he would simply refuse.

After being rejected by Zhang Yi, Xu Rou felt a little disappointed, and then leaned against the kitchen door and watched Zhang Yi work there.

Seeing Zhang Yi doing a pretty good job, Xu Rou couldn't help but smile and said, "It's said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. I didn't expect that you, the uncle of Jingyang County, would even go to the kitchen, and you look so powerful!"

Zhang Yi didn't even raise his head, but this did not prevent him from communicating with Xu Rou: "I think the saying of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen is not very reasonable. If a person doesn't even know how to eat, wouldn't that be too stupid?"

"Besides, the happiest thing in the world is to enjoy delicious food. If you know how to cook delicious food, wouldn't that be happy?"

Zhang Yi said, cutting a piece of prepared fish into pieces and pouring it into the pot.

Smelling the scent of fish, Xu Rou couldn't help but praise: "Wow, it smells so good. It seems that you really have a good idea."

"No, if this continues, what should I do if I admire you more and more? No, you are so outstanding, I am so worried that I will be disliked if I am not worthy of you."

There is no one else here at this moment, just two of them are here, so Xu Rou acts coquettishly at Zhang Yi without any scruples. Now she is very satisfied with Zhang Yi. With Li Er's marriage, she has already regarded Zhang Yi as her husband.

"When you're fine, think about more useful things and don't just think about these things that are not there."

The woman in love has too low IQ and doesn't listen to the explanation at all, so Zhang Yi didn't plan to explain to Xu Rou at all.

Outside the kitchen, Yoona was about to come over to help Zhang Yi, but after hearing what Zhang Yi and Xu Rou said outside, she stopped.

After thinking for a few seconds, Yoona gritted her teeth and left here. Now that Xu Rou is here, it should be enough!
