Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Yin Ju hesitated for a while holding the cake, and finally said: "Five Wen?"

The old man's eyes widened, Bai Shan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Yin He down and said, "One penny is enough. He said that five pennies can make a round."

Only then did the old man calm down, and glanced at the cloth bag in front of him. There were not many cakes in it, but there were seven or eight, so he generously took out five cents and said, "I bought them all."

Yin or silently collected the money, and waited for him to leave with the wild rabbit and the cake before asking: "The cake is so cheap? It also costs two cents apiece, right? I use vegetable oil for this cake, and there is a lot of meat in it. Because of the high humidity here, I even had someone crush the peppercorns and add it in to keep the cold out.”

He said: "I've done the calculations, five cents is not expensive."

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not cheap, meat is not cheap, even vegetable oil is a bit expensive in this place.

Bai Shan: "I know, but I'm afraid he will beat you." There may be people in this small town who are willing to pay five cents for a cake, but it's definitely not this old man.

"Anyway, the cake is sold, so you can tell me if you're happy or not?"

Yin or nodded after thinking about it, "It feels pretty good."

So Yin Ju took the initiative and said: "Let's go, in order to celebrate that I finally sold the things today, I invite you to a restaurant for dinner."

There are only two restaurants in the town, and they are still opposite each other.

Yin or didn't have a choice, so he took them directly and walked towards one of them. When they first arrived here, they ate at both restaurants. Even after such a long time, they patronized all the food sold in the market. After passing, you will naturally know who's taste is like.

The restaurant has only one lobby, and there are only five tables in the lobby, and the gap between the tables is very small.

A group of people looked at it, and then arrogantly sat down on a table facing the door, so that they could see the street when they turned their heads.

It was already early winter, and there was nothing busy here after paying the autumn tax, so there were quite a few people taking to the streets.

Zhou Man and the others unceremoniously ordered the best dishes in the store. Well, there are only a few dishes in the store.

This is a small town. If it weren't for the two relatively famous mountains beside it, even these two small restaurants wouldn't be able to open.

Zhou Man gave Mingda a bowl of white rice from the shop, and said: "The rice here is delicious, it is thinner than the one in Guanzhong, and it is also soft and fragrant. It tastes good to me, you can try it."

Because there are only guests at their table, the restaurant serves the food fairly quickly, and they are all simple steamed, fried and boiled.

Mingda took a bite, um, this skill is very ordinary, but the rice is indeed delicious.

"Can't this rice be planted in Guanzhong?"

Zhou Man said: "I'm afraid it's because of the regional climate. There are also new types of rice planted here, but I learned a little bit, and the locals didn't give up the rice they kept. The taste is a bit different."

She said: "We can ask Sinong Temple to send people to study and increase the yield of these rice seeds with different tastes."

Bai Shandao: "This is not something that can be achieved in the short term, I can only make a suggestion with Sinong Temple."

Mingda: "Do you want me to speak?"

Now the clan is in charge of Sinong Temple, Mingda's cousin.

Zhou Man spread his hands, "My eldest nephew failed to pass the proposal twice, maybe you can make a suggestion, whether it will work or not depends on their own plans, maybe because the cost is too high, they don't want to forget it."

Mingda thought for a while and then nodded, "I see."

She turned her head to look outside the door and asked, "Winter is here, shall we spend the winter here this year?"

"No," Zhou Man said, "Although it's not as cold as in Chang'an, and it doesn't even snow, it will still be very cold after a light snowfall. You and Yin are in poor health, so it's not suitable to spend the winter on the mountain."

"That……"

Zhou Man giggled and said, "Let's go to Xiangzhou, where there is Tangquan. Let's live there for a winter. I heard that the scenery there is also very good."

Mingda: "Is it far?"

"It's not very far. It should take two days by car." This is because there are many mountains here, and a detour is required, otherwise it will be faster.

Zhou Man and the others had a good plan. When the weather gets colder, they will go to Xiangzhou and leave quietly.

When they came, they pretended to be tourists and did not identify themselves. And this area is full of Yi people, they take care of themselves, although there are village chiefs, most of them are the chiefs of local big clans.

Seeing that Bai Shan and the others really looked like tourists, they traveled around the mountains and rivers to eat and drink every day, so they didn't care too much.

but! ! !

One morning, officers and soldiers and people from Liuzhou Governor's Mansion entered the town, found the head of the village, and asked directly, "Mr. Shanghe, where are they?"

Li Chang looked confused, "Who?"

The officers and soldiers paused for a moment and then said: "Ex-Prince Bai Gong, don't you know? He stayed here, in a place where Long Dushan is."

The village chief pointed in one direction blankly and said, "Changdu Mountain is there, no, where does anyone live on it? There is a village under the mountain, but it's not close..."

It was the chief's son who came to his senses and reminded him quietly.

He just remembered, "Oh, someone told me a few months ago that they would build a place for hunters to settle on Changdu Mountain. It was a group of tourists who only stayed for a while. When the weather warmed up Let's go, it's agreed, that house is to be left to our people..."

When the officers and soldiers heard it, they felt that it was the former Prime Minister Bai Shan, and only those with money and leisure had such interest, so they hurriedly said: "Take us there quickly, His Majesty has an order to give them something."

The head of the village took them to Changdu Mountain with a dazed expression on his face, and when he led them up the mountain out of breath and lamented in his heart that they were all weird people who liked to live in the mountains, he saw that there were already people waiting at the turning entrance .

The other party greeted them, and after saluting, they looked at the officers and soldiers, "Who are you and why are you here?"

One of the leaders took out an official document and said: "Dianzhong province, His Majesty sent me to deliver letters and things to the princess, and also sent some melons and fruits that Lingnan wants to pay tribute to."

The head of the village widened his eyes again, isn't he the county magistrate?

How did she become a princess again?

The man took the official document and glanced at it, then went back, turned sideways and said: "The princess and the son-in-law are inside, follow me."

When the officers and soldiers came up, they carried a lot of things, a total of three boxes.

Zhou Man and the others wanted tofu today, so they took the soaked beans and went down the mountain to grind them into a slurry. At this time, they were cooking tofu in the kitchen with difficulty.

Of course, the main force is Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, and Zhou Man and Ming Da Yin may not help.

Zhou Man's theoretical knowledge is very rich, and he also has a lot of experience as a bystander. When he talks about making tofu, he is very clear, but he can't ask in detail.

For example, when cooking tofu, add an appropriate amount of brine and stir, what is the appropriate amount?

Zhou Man only remembers that when my sister-in-law made a big bucket of tofu, she added a third of a bowl of brine, but that bucket was theirs, and the bowls were also theirs. The ones I use now...they look different.

And to what extent is it stirred?

Big or small fire?

Bai Shan saw that she was just talking on paper, so he simply took her recipe and figured it out by himself. Anyway, no matter what they made, they would eat it by themselves in the end.
