[Comprehensive] The daily life of Ye Ying's maid

The color of the sky gradually turned leaden gray, the air began to become humid, and the wind gradually picked up. Xue Yi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the sky. Turning to the car, he said: "The weather is very bad, it seems to be It’s raining heavily, we have a car so we’re not afraid of getting caught in the rain, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to sleep in the countryside tonight, the weather will be very cold in autumn.”

Ye Ying and the others in the car were stunned, Hua Manlou frowned slightly and said, "That's all right, there's no way to go to the village or back to the shop, and it's hard to walk when it's raining."

Since the departure on the second day after Huyou Li Chengen joined the team, their itinerary has been going on for three or four days. Everyone felt very fresh after the departure. It's time for Xueyi to cook some simple meals - the sundries they brought include pots, pans and seasonings.

When Sun Simiao ate Xueyi's cooking for the first time, he smiled and joked to Xueyi that Ye Ying had eaten the essence of her cooking, which made Xueyi blush, but Ye Ying finished the meal calmly .

However, Lu Xiaofeng said that the food cooked by Xue Yi is the ordinary home-cooked food that should be in ordinary days, the food that is too bad is a nightmare, the food that is too delicious is not real, and the wise words make everyone look at him differently Qi Qiyan, everyone seldom eats dry food anymore.

They slept in the wilderness, with the sky as the cover and the ground as their hut, and they could see the twinkling stars when they opened their eyes at night, and they had a very pleasant journey.

But the weather is not beautiful, on this day, when the evening was approaching, the clouds pressed up so abruptly.

In fact, Lu Xiaofeng and Ye Ying, because of their internal strength to protect their bodies, they can still hold on if it is not too cold, but Xueyi is a girl, and although Sun Simiao is good at medicine, he is not good at kung fu, and there are three ordinary handlebars. , so they can no longer choose to sleep in the wild today.

"I remember that there is a small village about a quarter of the way from here. Why don't we stay there tonight." Sun Simiao has traveled a lot and is familiar with geography. Seeing everyone's embarrassment, he suggested.

Xue Yi made a decision: "Let's make this decision." After finishing speaking, he asked the coachman to stop the car and jumped out of the carriage to find Lu Xiaofeng and the driver of the last car informed them of their decision, and the group turned around and walked towards the small village go.

A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at a small village. There were people in the huts at the entrance of the village. When they saw the convoy coming, they came out to greet them. When they asked about their situation, they found out that they were sheltering from the rain. Take it to the house of a mother-in-law who has many vacant houses in the village.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others got out of the carriage, and the car stopped in a stable near the entrance of the village. They followed the guide at the entrance of the village all the way to the village while looking at the situation in the village.

Judging from the houses of the villagers in the village, the village is not rich, but everything is in good order. The grain bags are neatly stacked, and a few strong villagers are covering the grain with rainproof and waterproof things. Seeing them a group of strangers, they looked this way curiously.

When Li Chengen saw the grain, his eyes were a little straight: "Oh, brother Wang, your village has a good harvest this year, and you have packed so many bags of grain."

The villager surnamed Wang smiled and touched his head: "Is there any? I still think it's missing, it's okay." Turning around, he made a gesture quietly in a place where everyone couldn't see, and one of the villagers sorting out the grain said to the others : "Hey, go to a hut."

Another villager waved his hand impatiently: "You just have a lot of things to do, so go ahead." The villager slid into the alley between the houses and disappeared.

When the group arrived at the mother-in-law's house, they already knew that the mother-in-law was a widowed old man, but she was usually the most enthusiastic and loved to help others take care of the children at home. Because she used to have a lot of people in her family, so now there are many vacant rooms in the house. They can't live in Huamanlou, but at least they can arrange as many people here as possible.

The mother-in-law looked like she was in her 50s. When she saw them, she smiled and opened her mouth with a few missing teeth and said, "Your guest is here, welcome." Obviously, she had heard the news long ago.

Hua Manlou and the others hurriedly saluted: "Excuse me, if it wasn't for the rain, we wouldn't bother you."

"Yes, yes, it's raining, it's raining, come on, come in, whether you're thirsty or not, mother-in-law will make tea for you."

Xue Yi's face froze slightly, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, mother-in-law, we are not thirsty, so don't bother and waste firewood." Just kidding, who wants to drink the seasoned tea of ​​the Tang Dynasty!She has been drinking plain water since she came to this world, okay?Ye Ying didn't drink either, so needless to say Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing, Li Chengen?He is so poor that he can't afford to eat and still drinks tea?

On the contrary, Sun Simiao laughed and said, "If you don't drink it, I would like to try Sister Wang's craft."

"That's right, young people don't understand this taste, I'll make you a cup later!" The mother-in-law smiled and led everyone into the house.

The room is not very big, and the beard beds are limited. Everyone can sit and stand, and it is not very restrained. The mother-in-law said: "The environment in the house is simple, I neglect everyone, don't mind."

The others didn't say anything, Li Chengen said indifferently: "Grandma, what did you say, I have lived in worse houses, not to mention your house is much better~"

Xue Yi was so angry that he wanted to slap him, did he talk like that?

Unexpectedly, he didn't stop talking. Seeing several bags of grain piled up in the corner of the room, he continued in surprise: "Grandma, your family has also harvested so much grain. Your harvest here this year is really good."

The mother-in-law sighed: "Where is it? They put the bran and rice there. Poor people, where can they afford refined rice and fine grains? It would be nice to mix the two together to make your stomach full."

Lu Xiaofeng and the others froze at the same time, and at the same time, a night of rice with bran husks appeared in their minds, and they began to feel a little stomachache.

"Huh, is that so?" Li Cheng'en, the foolish man, was about to walk over and open the bag to have a look, when an old man's voice suddenly came from the door: "The honored guest came to this village. We are sorry for our sins."

And the heavy rain poured down at this moment.

Hearing someone coming, Li Chengen gave up his plan to walk towards the grain bag, and turned his head to look at the door. This made several people heave a sigh of relief, of course, not only Xueyi and the others.

An old man in his fifties came in with a middle-aged man in his 30s, who was holding an old oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

"Village chief, are you here?" Granny Wang greeted, and everyone knew that it was the village chief of the village.

Everyone quickly stood up, the old man arched his hands and introduced himself: "Old man Liu He is the head of this village. I heard that you are here to stay. The village is poor and the whole family can't accommodate you. I'll come and arrange for you. one time."

Does the village chief have to come forward for this kind of thing?

A trace of doubt appeared in Xue Yi's heart, but her attention was quickly diverted, because the mother-in-law said that she was going to cook, and she quickly followed after receiving several people's "help" eyes: " Mother-in-law, let me help you, won't you be exhausted from cooking for so many people by yourself."

The mother-in-law waved her hand indifferently and refused: "I think the old lady cooked half of the villagers' meals back then. What are you guys? You should rest."

"Mother-in-law, you'd better let me help you, don't look at me as delicate, I'm not the kind of young lady who doesn't touch the spring water!" Xue Yi smiled, and she didn't know what the indifferent appearance brought when she didn't speak. Deceptive, once the mother-in-law refused, she understood in seconds.

Sure enough, when the mother-in-law heard this, she stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at Xue Yi suspiciously, as if to verify the authenticity of her words, Xue Yi continued: "Besides, we brought our own rice in the car, Because none of us are locals, we are afraid that we will not be used to the soil and water here..."

Here he explained with a smile, but Xue Yi complained wildly in his heart: These are all bullshit. In fact, these people are just afraid that it would be rude to spit out the chaffy rice they ate. By the way, this mother-in-law couldn’t have planned it in advance, right?

Xue Yi began to unconsciously make conspiracy theories.

"Oh, that's it, that's fine, you go and get it." The mother-in-law's straightforward response made Xue Yi more affirmed her guess, but Xue Yi and the others were not prepared to eat and live for free, and in order to prevent unreasonable After eating the "legendary" bran rice, he dragged Ye Dashao to fetch things together under an umbrella.

After getting the things back, she followed the mother-in-law to the kitchen.

The two experienced cooks were still very fast, and the food was on the table in a short time. The village chief Liu He and his son did not leave, and ate with everyone.

Under Xue Yi's insistence, the village head, mother-in-law and others also ate fine rice. Although the dishes were simple, there was one thing that everyone couldn't stop eating. The pancakes baked by the mother-in-law were golden, crispy and delicious. They were simply delicious.

The son of the village chief ate so much that he snatched the last piece of cake and said to the mother-in-law, "Grandma, I just told you, even if you sell your pancakes in the city, that's the only one." , you still don’t believe it, look, how good these guests are eating.”

"Yes yes yes, you are right!" The mother-in-law's smiling eyes became a line, and she was also happy to see other people eating happily.

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly interjected from the side: "That's right, I have never eaten such delicious food since I was a child, does mother-in-law have any secret recipes?"

The mother-in-law said angrily: "There is no secret recipe, this snow-clothed girl is watching, but I didn't put any secret seasoning!"

"It's true, I think it's probably because my mother-in-law is very good at all times." Xue Yi nodded, and secretly wiped her sweat in her heart. If she hadn't been on guard against this mother-in-law in advance, she It is estimated that a lot of words have been taken away by this meeting.

This old woman is really too smart.

Huamanlou smiled and said: "If you want to sell it, mother-in-law must give it a good name." , Now we have already mentioned the brand.

"Why is there no name? I have chosen it long ago. With the name of our village, it is called Daoxiangbing!"

"Cough..." Xue Yi choked.
