Lady of the Lord From the East

After choosing the land, Felix personally helped her mark the land because she didn't bring anyone else, and the two of them rode back to the castle.

Back at the castle, Wei Wei first went back to the room and took sixty gold bars—to make it easier for her to ask the system to help replace all gold ingots with gold bars of equal proportions, the system also engraved a regular script "Wei" on it, which is a mark, Also a (fake) family crest.

The sixty gold bars weighed six pounds, which was quite a lot. Wei Wei packed it in a box that pretended to escape the fashion jewelry and carried it to Felix's study.

When Felix saw her holding the box down, he thought it was jewelry or something, but he didn't expect to open it, and the bright gold bars almost blinded him.

"This is?"

Wei Wei looked at his expression carefully, only to see that there was no trace of greed in surprise, the defenses in his heart receded silently, and the smile on his face became much more real.

"When my family traveled westward, not only did they exchange their money for valuable commodities, but they also exchanged a lot of gold in private. My father was worried that he would be discovered and would attract bad people, so he secretly hid the gold with me. When I ran away, I didn't have time to take all of them, so I hid most of them and brought them out."

Now that she has decided to live here, she always has to have a say about the great wealth that will appear in the future.

Of course, Wei Wei won't say how much money she has, and her wealth is touching. Even if Felix's character seems to be very good, she doesn't plan to challenge his bottom line.

Felix now knew that Wei Wei had hidden some of his property in private, but he never imagined that Wei Wei was hiding nearly 2,000 catties of gold, so a fortune would be enough for her to buy a hereditary baron or even an earl title like a great nobleman—if she Men's words.

So at this time, he just praised: "It's a smart way." And he appreciated this smart and wise girl more and more.

His countess should be such a wise woman.

Felix took out the contract drawn up early in the morning and handed it to Wei Wei.

Wei Wei took over the parchment contract, opened it and read it carefully. It clearly stated the quantity, location and price of the land. Felix had already signed his name, and she was waiting for her to confirm it.

The documents required for the transfer of the land were also placed on the table, because Felix was the largest lord in Sardinson County, and when he signed the documents himself, these procedures could take effect immediately.

Wei Wei read the contract several times, and discussed it with the system. After confirming that there was no problem, she signed her name on it—both English and Chinese, she signed both.

After the contract was signed, Wei Wei pushed the gold bar she brought to Felix, but the latter stared at her signature and reached out to touch it, but was afraid to touch it because she was worried that the ink would smear before it was dry.

"Is this the language of your country?"

The two characters "Wei Wei" are the same in traditional and simplified form. This was indeed how they were written in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, so she nodded.

"They look very special, like painted words, and they are beautiful."

Wei Wei chuckled lightly and accepted his compliment.

Don't dare to say anything else. Her name has been practiced with my grandfather who was a calligraphy teacher for a few years. After my grandfather passed away, she didn't touch it again and was a little unfamiliar, but the foundation was still there.

After the contract was signed, it was Felix's business. In front of her, he signed all the documents he had prepared, and finally handed Wei Wei the owner of the title deed.

When she got the title deed, Wei Wei did feel suddenly relaxed, as if she was no longer an alien wandering soul, but a person who really settled here and will integrate into it.

"As for the work of the governess, I may have to do it at a later date."

Carefully received the title deed, Wei Wei said to Felix.

Felix expressed his understanding: "It doesn't matter, you can do your own thing first. If you need anything, feel free to mention it."

Buying land and building a house again, Wei Wei will obviously be very busy for a while, so he naturally won't force her to start working now.

Wei Wei nodded and thanked: "I'll talk to Butler Patton if I have something to do. You'll be polite."

After getting along for a while, she also knows that people here speak more directly, not as reserved as Chinese people. In order to better integrate, she is also trying to change her way of speaking.

Although Felix really wanted to say that she could tell him anything she had, but thinking of her next schedule, she could only silently swallow these words back in her stomach.

Today is a rare time for Felix to take time to return to Fort Sardinson, otherwise he should still be patrolling the territory in the county, while checking the situation everywhere and taking the knights to clear the beasts in the forest.

Wei Wei didn't know at first that he came back on purpose to help her with the land. After dinner, she accidentally heard Butler Barton ordering people to prepare the things Felix needed for his trip the next day.

"Is the Count going to leave as soon as he comes back?"

Butler Patton, who was talking to the servant, heard the sound, and when he saw it was her, he relaxed his serious expression and replied, "Yes, Master Felix took time to come back to repair, and he will continue to go out tomorrow."

Although he didn't say why Felix came back, Wei Wei still heard it.

Seeing a trace of clarity on her face, Butler Barton knew that she understood and was happy.

Their Count has done so much for his sweetheart, how can she not let her know? Naturally, they have to rely on their servants to help Wei Wei know that her status in the Count's heart is different.

Knowing that Felix came back for his own business, Wei Wei, who was a little moved, thought for a while and asked the housekeeper, "Does the Count need to prepare food when he goes out?"

"Yes, there will be some jerky and bread that are easy to store. Of course, you will also bring some pasta with you, plus some spices."

The jerky he said is actually marinated and air-dried meat, cut into small strips and packaged, and boiled in hot water when eating. Needless to say how it tastes, the bread is a very hard bread stick. , and can even be used as a weapon if necessary.

As for the spices, they are used for roasting meat. Felix is ​​not always entertained when he is outside. When he and the knights go hunting, they will use local materials to make barbecued meat. These knights do not say anything else, the barbecue is still very good. of.

And Wei Wei's pasta has conquered almost everyone. It is a staple food that can make a lot of changes, and it is easy to store. After drying, it can be stored for a year or more. The cooking method is very simple, almost Anyone can easily get started, so full and delicious food is naturally very popular when going out. The last time Felix went out, the kitchen specially prepared some, but it was too busy at that time, and they did not prepare much. Felix finished eating soon after he left.

This time, the food warehouse in the kitchen contained a lot of dried pasta, and Felix could bring as much as he wanted.

But the pasta is delicious, but it takes a long time to cook after drying, which takes too much time and firewood, and it is actually inconvenient to eat when you go out.

Wei Wei: "In that case, then I'll go take a look."

Butler Patton's eyes lit up: "Is Miss Weiwei preparing food for the Earl?"

"Well, I'll go see what's more suitable to bring."

Felix only said today that he hoped to eat the food she prepared, and he also handed over the kitchen to her management. Seeing that he helped her so much, Wei Wei felt that she should reciprocate.

In the kitchen, the food that Felix was going to bring with him had already been prepared, but when Wei Wei came over and said that he wanted to prepare, they still cooperated very actively.

Today's kitchens have added a lot of tools, such as steamers, wok and spatula, because Wei Wei comes over from time to time to get some fresh dishes.

With limited time, Wei Wei couldn't prepare anything too complicated. In the end, she led a group of people to make steamed buns and buns.

The temperature is still relatively low now, even the meat in the steamed buns and meat patties can be stored for a few days without going bad. You can steam them for a while or soak them in hot water directly when you eat them. The weird-flavored jerky tastes so much better.

Butler Patton's original intention was to ask Wei Wei to prepare food for Felix, but Wei Wei heard that the food that the knights ate was also in charge of the kitchen. .

Several stoves were fired at the same time, and the steamer was full of wrapped buns and buns. Some people were in charge of kneading the dough, some were in charge of chopping meat and vegetables, and some were in charge of rolling the dough and filling the stuffing.

The fillings for the steamed buns and meat patties are all made by Wei Wei herself. Her hands are very steady now, and she knows what to put and how much to put. Instead, it is the chef Bob who is trying to memorize the filling recipe. Fushui, I really couldn't figure out what Wei Wei meant by "appropriate amount" and "a little". She was blinded. In the end, she could only shamelessly ask Wei Wei to use a spoon to overdose before adding the ingredients.

The stuffing is ready to be wrapped. Bob holds a rolled out dough in his hand, and stares at Wei Wei to make the buns, only to see Wei Wei flick his fingers a few times, and a bun the size of a palm will be filled. Once wrapped, the pleats on it are beautiful like a flower.

But if I changed him, I could barely wrap it, even though the skin was twice as thick as others, the filling was less than half, and the pleats were pinched into small bumps that were not very elegant, even the maid who helped on the side wrapped it. prettier than him.

Wei Wei looked at his big palm-like hands, thought about it, put down the buns, and started teaching him how to make meatloaf.

As long as the meat patties don't leak out, it doesn't matter if they are thin or thick. They are easier to use than steamed buns. Wei Wei will take him to make pancakes after he gets started. She can't make so many patties by herself. .

It was busy until nearly midnight when all the food was ready, which exhausted everyone, and many people secretly yawned.

Wei Wei specially told the housekeeper, who also didn't go to rest, to let the people in the kitchen rest for a while tomorrow. As for the morning food, just use the steamed buns and patties they made to deal with it.

The buns and steamed patties she made were enough for Felix and his party to eat for ten days when they went out, but even the steamed buns couldn't last that long, so part of them was actually prepared for breakfast tomorrow morning.

"The person who helps today can get a meat pie or a steamed bun, and the other servants can eat a steamed bun."

In order to make people feel full, these foods are made as large as possible. The size of one is enough to fill most people's stomachs. Even if there are relatively edible ones, it is enough to drink some soup. The amount of fine flour is not enough. Some of the steamed buns are made with pea noodles, which are the most commonly eaten by ordinary people, but the taste is unique. The bread is delicious.

Butler Barton, who had smelled the fragrance all night, felt that Wei Wei's proposal was a bit extravagant. Such good food was prepared for Lord Earl. How could the servants eat it, but he thought that Lord Earl had already handed over the kitchen to Wei Wei to manage, plus The food smelled so good. If Wei Wei said it, he could also eat a bun or meat pie tomorrow, and even as a housekeeper, he could also give his wife one.

Swallowing secretly, Butler Patton nodded in agreement.

This caused the servants who heard Wei Wei's words and looked at him to cheer in a low voice, suddenly became excited, and began to look forward to the early arrival of tomorrow.
