The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 498

Xu Yin explained it to him.

After hearing this, the village head half understood: "According to what the girl said, are flowers and vegetables planted in the house?"

Xu Yin: "...about the same."

In ancient times without plastic film, it would be the same as keeping them in the house.

It's just that the roof and walls can be replaced by straw curtains.

After pondering, the village head said, "I know where to build the shed that the girl mentioned."

He led Xu Yin to a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the village.

This was originally a nunnery, but a fire broke out later, and the nuns in the nunnery went to other places.Later, it was bought by the ancestors of the Xu family.

The entire nunnery is still very large, but it was burned down by a fire that year, leaving only the ruined walls in front of me.

The villagers built houses, and came here to pick up a lot of usable bricks and go back.

There are also roof tiles that have not been burned, and they have all been stripped.

It can be said that, except for a few rafters stuck to the big rocks at the base of the wall, they were too heavy to pull out, and all the other usable ones were pulled away.

"The girl said just now that there is no need for a wall, and we can weave some grass curtains and hang them up? Then is this place suitable?"

Xu Yin walked around the nunnery and found that the ground of the nunnery was muddy, not paved with bricks and stones, and there were weeds everywhere, which meant that things could be planted, so she made a decision immediately:

"I think it's quite suitable, so I'll settle here. Later, I will trouble you to hire a few people to clean up the place. After the new year, the soil will be loosened and fertilized, and the seeds will be planted like on the mountain. First, let's see how the flowers and plants grow. If it works, it can be used as a greenhouse next winter by hanging straw curtains.”

The village head responded one by one.

Unexpectedly, before returning to the mansion, the matter of the shed was settled. Xu Yin was happy, and gave another sum of money to ask Xu Kui to go to the town to buy a piece of pork back, and invite the villagers to have a sumptuous Laba Festival.

This year, the Xu Mansion was still in the period of filial piety, so it was not possible to decorate with lanterns and festivities, and unlike previous years, the gates of the mansion were opened wide to welcome and give gifts.

This year, the gate of the Xu Mansion was closed, and people only entered and exited through the side door, keeping a low profile as much as possible.

Before Laba, the old butler led a group of servants in the mansion to clean up all the yards, the flower gardens and lawns were repaired without a trace of weeds, and the furniture was polished to shine.

Just waiting for the master of the house, the girl, to return to the house.

Xu Yin's arrival made the old butler cry.

"Girl, you have worked hard for the past six months!"

Xu Yin replied: "I don't work hard, you always work hard!"

While carrying the luggage from the carriage, Xu Kui said casually: "Father, do you have clairvoyance? I didn't tell you. How do you know that the girl has been planting flowers and perfumes for half a year?" , don't mention how hard it is..."

The old housekeeper was confused: "What kind of flowers? What kind of fragrance?"

Xu Kui: "...then what, you don't know?"

Taking a peek at the girl, he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

Xu Yin was amused by the conversation between the father and son: "Okay, let's go in and talk. What does it look like at the door?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Go in and talk, go in and talk!"

After sitting down, Xu Yin sipped the tea and talked to the housekeeper about her... er, great achievements in the past six months?
The butler was dumbfounded after hearing this: "..."

"Pfft..." Xu Kui couldn't hold back, turned his face away and laughed.

The old housekeeper: "..." Brat, I'll deal with you later!
Thinking about it afterwards, the girl can come out of the grief of losing her parents, no longer wash her face with tears, and be busy when she is busy, even if she loses weight, it makes people feel distressed.If the master and wife are still alive, how can the girl be so troublesome and laborious.

So, during the Chinese New Year, the old housekeeper ran to the big kitchen every day, instructing a few cooks around, thinking about delicious food for his daughter.

If you fast without meat, you can only pay more attention to vegetarian food and snacks.

A few days after Xu Yin returned home, snowflakes fell inside and outside Luo City.

She had nothing to do, so she was lazy on the soft couch to read travel notes and gossip written by some literati in this dynasty.

On the other side of the kitchen, Jiantian sent her the dishes and snacks that the cook had newly conceived.

Within a few days, she found that her double chin had come out.

"..."

emmm... There are too many pasta snacks shortened by vegetable oil.

Vegetarianism can make people fat, I am afraid no one would believe it in modern times.

However, the old housekeeper felt that she was so fat.

"According to this old slave, the girl is about to draw a stick."

A 14-year-old girl, how normal it is to pick sticks, so she continued to watch the cook fiddle with the dishes, using the few vegetables and pasta that are few in winter, changing patterns to enhance Xu Yin's nutrition.

Xu Yin: "..."

After the new year, the snow on the ground finally melted, and she decided to go back to Chashan Bieyuan.

If I continue to eat, drink, and be lazy in the mansion, I will become a ball fat.

The old butler was worried that she was working too hard.

I didn't know that she cleaned up the chai mountain and planted spice flowers, and built a fragrance workshop in Xujia Village. Now she is planning to build a greenhouse. I don't know how I can sit still in the future.

You can't let the girl be busy, and he can enjoy the happiness in the mansion alone, right?So he planned to go to another courtyard to serve him, and he would come if there was any need for the girl to come forward in the future.

When Xu Yin heard this, she staggered: "Don't, don't, don't! Only if you always sit in the mansion, can I be at ease in other courtyards! If you also go to other courtyards with me, the people in the mansion will be left alone. What about collective rebellion?"

"..."

It is impossible to rebel, but it is possible to work lazily when no one is watching.

The old housekeeper hesitated about this.

Xu Yin spared no effort to continue lobbying: "You see, I stay in other courtyards most of the time, and if I have something to do, let Xu Kui run errands, so I won't be tired. But you are old, and the mountain road is steep and difficult to walk. I am really worried. you go..."

joke!If the housekeeper went and urged the cook to cook three meals for her in different ways every day, plus two snacks in the afternoon and one supper in the evening, would she still be a slender beauty Yin?This is not the Tang Dynasty where fat was considered beautiful.

In the end, the old butler was persuaded by Xu Yin to stay in the mansion with affection, reason, and a heavy responsibility.

He watched the girl's carriage leave with tears in his eyes, until he could no longer see him, then he raised his sleeves, wiped the corners of his eyes and returned to the mansion.

"Hey, the girl is kind-hearted! She is sympathetic to the old slave, and she won't let the old slave run around when she is old, but let the old slave stay in the mansion to enjoy the blessing..."

Sikong paused slightly with his calculating hands, and said to himself: Even a fool can see that she is afraid of you going.As for why you are afraid, do you have no idea?It's almost feeding people into a head... Cough, in short, I got fat, at least a circle of fat when I first returned home a few years ago.

But the old housekeeper was hurt by the truth, he should be a kind person and keep shutting up.

Sikong continued to make calculations and make calculations.

The old butler saw that he didn't answer, and said to himself that it was boring, so he didn't say anything else, got up and planned to walk around the mansion to see what needed repairs, especially the girl's courtyard, so that he could find a craftsman in time.

When he went out, he asked casually: "Sikong, is it because you offended people by talking too much in the past and suffered a great crime, and now you are like a gourd with a sawed mouth?"

Sikong: "..."

He endures!
