Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The group returned with a full load, and it really came back with a full load. They couldn't finish the fish they caught, so they distributed it to each yard, and even Master You distributed two fish.

As soon as he returned to the yard, Steward Li led three women to meet him, "Master, these are the cooks and helpers I invited, they will stay in the yard to serve in the future, and the young masters and young ladies can call them for anything. ."

Bai Shan was still carrying the barrel in his hand, and when he heard the words, he put down the barrel and rolled up his sleeves. He turned his head and glanced at the three of them.

The cook is the oldest among the three. She looks like she is in her thirties. Her head is wrapped in a piece of cloth. Her clothes are white with washing and several patches have been applied. She looks like she is from the Central Plains. A little rough, she was standing with her head lowered slightly, and she felt her eyes fall on her, she couldn't help clenching her hands nervously.

Bai Shan asked, "What kind of dishes do you know?"

Steward Li stepped aside, not intending to speak for her, but obviously wanted her to answer.

The cook couldn't help pinching her fingers nervously, but she gave a fluent gift and replied, "I know how to cook Shu cuisine. I have lived near Gyeonggi for a few years, so I also have some Beijing cuisine."

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Director Li.

Man Bao, who was allocating fish, heard it and couldn't help but let out a "huh". He turned his head to look at Steward Li and said with a smile, "Steward Li specially found it for us?"

Li Guanshi smiled and said, "Mr. Kan and the young ladies have a bad appetite, so I wondered if the food here is not good, so I went out for a walk today, and happened to see Mrs. He, who spoke with some accent. , the little one felt cordial when he heard it, and only when he asked, did he know that she was indeed from Shu, and she could cook again, so the little boy invited her on his own initiative."

He said: "The masters will stay here for a while, and they can't always eat in inns and restaurants. The dishes here are just the same. Although the dishes of each family will be slightly different, they are still the same."

He said with a distressed expression: "This is too wrong for the young master and the young ladies. The young master and Miss Man have lost weight in the past two days."

I heard that there were fish to eat, so Nie Canjun, who was wandering over to pick up the fish, couldn't help but look at Zhou Man and Bai Shan after hearing these words.

And do they have a bad appetite?

They ate together last night, probably because they hadn't eaten rice for a long time. Both of them ate two big bowls of rice last night, as much as he did!

No, they also ate fruits and snacks less than half an hour after the meal!

Nie Canjun twitched the corners of his mouth, looked away, and asked Bai Erlang, "You want to send us fish?"

Bai Erlang returned to his senses, pointed at the fish in the wooden barrel generously and said, "You can pick two at random."

Man Bao suddenly remembered something and asked the cook, "Can you make tofu? I suddenly want to eat tofu fish head."

Mr. Zhuang, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly nodded and said, "This is not bad."

Sister He's face showed bitterness, she squeezed her fingers and said, "I can make tofu fish head, but I can't make tofu."

Man Bao said happily: "If you can't, just buy it, do you have to be able to grow rice if you can cook?"

Man Baole paused for a while, tilted his head and looked at Bai Shan in disbelief, "No way, there's no tofu here?"

Bai Shan carefully recalled the places he walked yesterday, "It doesn't seem to be there, right?"

Sister He said: "No, people here don't even grow beans, so there is no tofu."

She said, "Beans are for horses."

Man Bao thought for a while, and said with uncertainty, "I think I should."

After speaking, she looked at Zhou Liru a little unconfidently. She knew the recipe. When Mrs. Zhou made tofu for the first time, it was Man Bao's advice, but it was her own sister-in-law. She said the last sentence and the other party could understand the next sentence. It's different if you change it to someone else.

Zhou Liru scratched his head and said with certainty, "If there is brine, I will order tofu."

During the two years when the little aunt went to Yizhou, she and her two elder sisters helped to make all the tofu at home, not to mention that the second elder sister also went out and the eldest sister got married.

"But I can't guarantee how it will taste."

Because making tofu is also a craft, when her mother didn't study very well, she thought about letting her learn it well, and getting married in the future is also a craft. So she tried to order two pots of tofu, and in the end the tofu was done, but in the end she left it all at home to eat, and even gave a lot to her uncle's house.

Although everyone didn't say it, Zhou Liru knew that the tofu she ordered was not very good.

But... who cares, anyway, I can eat it in the end, isn't the two pots of tofu still eaten up at home in the end?

She can do brine.

Man Bao turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, it's too late today. At most, we can only make brine. To eat tofu and fish head will have to be tomorrow at the earliest."

Mr. Zhuang didn't pick, "Okay, then tomorrow."

Sister He knew that she could stay as soon as she heard it. She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rolled up her sleeves and went forward to take the bucket, and asked humbly, "What do you want to eat at night, Mr. and Miss?"

After thinking about it, Mr. Zhuang said, "Eat some vegetarian food and stir-fry some vegetarian dishes."

Recently, he has been eating either meat or dry food, and his stomach is a little bit unbearable.

The cook should go.

Man Bao waved his hand and said, "I do whatever I want, I like to eat it, you can make it, by the way, stewed rice, I want to eat rice tonight."

Bai Erlang on the side nodded again and again, "Yes, braised rice."

Bai Shan discussed with Director Li, "When you arrive in Shazhou, remember to buy some rice noodles."

Manager Li complied, and then introduced the other two to them, "This is to help in the kitchen and clean the yard. The masters can also give them anything they need to wash."

After all, there are Miss Man and Miss Li Ru, it is more convenient to have two maids.

The two of them are not too young. They are in their twenties, with high nose and deep eyes. They should be locals. They can speak simple Chinese. It was neat, and Bai Shan decided to leave them behind and let them clean the yard first. They made a mess when they divided the fish.

Nie Canjun stood aside and watched the whole process, stunned, turned his head and asked Man Bao, "What is Master Zhou going to do during this time?"

Twenty days is not a short time, you can't sleep all the time, right?

Man Bao smiled and said: "Tomorrow we will go fishing, but I still want to go to the Gobi."

Nie Canjun asked enthusiastically, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the scenery," Man Bao said, "I heard that there will be some plants growing in the Gobi, which are not found in the Central Plains. I'll go take a look."

The interest on Nie Canjun's face stopped, and he felt that he was asking in vain.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Don't Master Zhou visit the mayor of the town?"

Man Bao shook his head: "He wasn't appointed by the imperial court, and I didn't come here for business. I'll just be my guest, but if you want to join the army, you can go."

See you at 6 pm
