talk about wine

The two of them arranged the yard of their house very well, and the ten chickens they raised have all grown up healthily. They have been raised for more than two months. They are not big in size, but their feathers have begun to change.

After feeding the chicken, Meng Chuxi is going to make dinner. There are still cattail vegetables at home, and the stewed chicken Meng Chuxi is going to make shredded chicken.

Shredded chicken is very convenient to make. Rinse the shredded chicken with water, add salt, soy sauce and marinade, add ginger and garlic, sprinkle with sesame seeds, drizzle with sesame oil and steam it, and you can eat it.

The main dish is Pucai. Yesterday, I just made an omelette with Pucai. Today, Meng Chuxi wanted Zhou Qingwu to try stir-fried Pucai.The core of cattail cabbage is like white jade, fresh and fragrant, crisp and slightly sweet when eaten raw, so the best thing to do when making cattail cabbage is to cook its original taste and tenderness, without heavy salt and heavy oil to cover it.

There is still some smoked meat at home, Meng Chuxi cuts off a few slices and cooks them directly in the casserole.The soup cooked from smoked meat is milky white, savory and fragrant, and the color of the meat is naturally beautiful.

When the cattail is put into the pot, the oil temperature should be high, and after it goes down, it should be fried quickly at high heat, so as to keep its crispness and tenderness. When the juice of cattail cabbage starts to come out, pour in the cooked smoked meat slices, and then pour the milky white Soup, a stewed cattail dish can be out of the pot.

Meng Chuxi picked one up and put it into Zhou Qingwu's bowl. Zhou Qingwu picked it up and put it in his mouth. The crisp and tender taste is enough to make people's eyes shine. , It's so delicious that I can't wait to swallow my tongue.

The shredded chicken soup is thick and slightly sour. It is very appetizing with rice. The combination of spicy minced garlic and chicken is delicious. Zhou Qingwu is very satisfied with this dinner again.

After eating, looking at the dishes that were swept away in front of him, Zhou Qingwu was still regretting: he felt that he was at a loss.

This cattail is found in the swamp by the river in their village and by the two ponds. I never thought that this kind of delicacy is hidden under the water.

Meng Chuxi smiled and said: "One piece of chopsticks is crispy and the cattail vegetables are tender, and the plate is full of fresh and delicious carp. The cattail vegetables are the delicacy of the people of all generations. I will take you to pick them when I have time. Can I make them for you?"

The little girl was probably really annoyed at missing out on delicious food, Meng Chuxi thought it was cute and funny, so she coaxed her here.

May has ended without knowing it, and it's time to pay the monthly money. The reward of one hundred guan was brought by Bell Tower for Meng Chuxi and handed over to her.In addition to the silver reward of one hundred guan, another monthly money was given to sixteen guan.

What kind of concept is this? Today in the Dayan Dynasty, an adult man labors among the people. If he does rough work, his wages are only seventy or eighty yuan a day, which still includes food.

For example, some capable people can work as clerks in a good shop, and their daily salary can be about eighty or ninety yuan, which means that the monthly salary is about two or three yuan, which is already very good.And being able to look after the shop and start helping with the business, the wages are higher, for example, Zhou Ping is considered decent, and six pennies a month is already enviable.It is conceivable how rich the sixteen guan a month is.

Meng Chuxi probably knew that the salaries of several important members of Jinyun Pavilion were linked to their income, and they did not do badly this month, but she had only been here for a month, so she couldn't get so much.

Noticing her surprise, Zhong Lou snorted: "Although you did not do badly, you still don't want to dump so much Lai Fu Lai Lu, and part of it is for that girl Qing Wu, you have to make it clear to her There are four of them are hers, two of which are spent by the cashier, and the other two are the subsidy given to her by me and the shopkeeper."

Meng Chuxi couldn't help laughing, "Thank you Uncle Zhong and the shopkeeper for your kindness, Qingwu will be very happy to know."

Bell Tower looked at her sideways, and he felt that Meng Chuxi was very happy, because he was happy for Zhou Qingwu, at least he didn't see her smile so happily when he gave her a silver reward of [-] guan.The arrogant old man couldn't help softening his heart, thinking that the person in front of him was only eighteen or nineteen years old. He lost his memory after being seriously injured, and brought Zhou Qingwu who couldn't speak all the way to the present. The hardships are self-evident. I'm afraid it is No man can do what she does.

The voice was rare and soft: "Okay, go, be happy with that girl."

Meng Chuxi nodded and was about to turn around and go out, when Bell Tower stopped her again: "I almost forgot one thing, girl Qingwu is good at settling accounts, you should have discovered it too, I was thinking that if I let her learn how to do accounts from Mr. Feng , what do you think about it?"

Meng Chuxi was taken aback: "Mr. Feng?" This Mr. Feng is the old accountant of the Yan family. He was in charge of the accounts when the Yan family got rich.As he got older, Mr. Feng's temper became more and more eccentric, and he demanded some things meticulously to the point of harshness.

This rigorous and serious attitude is also the reason why he can make the accounts so beautifully.But it's a good thing to be strict with the dead things like accounts, but for people, it really takes temper to bear it.

Naturally, she knew Zhonglou's kindness, and what an honor it was to be able to follow Mr. Feng, and naturally she could learn a lot, but Meng Chuxi was afraid that Zhou Qingwu would be wronged.Her little girl couldn't speak, and she had a soft temper. Thinking of Mr. Feng's tone, Meng Chuxi felt distressed.

"Why, you still don't want to?" Bell Tower, who had just calmed down, exploded again.

Meng Chuxi frowned, slightly apologetic: "No, I know that you and the shopkeeper value Qingwu, and we are very grateful. It's just that Uncle Zhong, Qingwu can't speak, you know Mr. Feng's temper, I'm afraid that if Qingwu Something went wrong, he..."

Bell Tower sighed: "Chuxi, it's good that you love her, but she wants to grow up on her own, and it will do her no harm if she can learn more things. Besides, you know, she looks soft and weak, and she has a soft heart in her bones." She is resilient and able to handle things, and she still survived without you. She is a good seedling, if it hadn't happened, and with her parents around, she would definitely be able to take over her family's affairs."

Meng Chuxi didn't understand, but she was still worried.But she still thanked Bell Tower: "Thank you Uncle Zhong for reminding me, I will tell Qingwu about it, and thank you for your recognition and respect for her."

When the two returned home in the evening, they learned that Meng Chuxi had won a reward of [-] guan, and the monthly money was also [-] guan. Zhou Qingwu was so happy that he grabbed Meng Chuxi's clothes, and looked at Meng Chuxi with starry eyes.

Without her saying a word or making a gesture, Meng Chuxi could also see the full of admiration and admiration from it. No one could remain indifferent when his sweetheart looked at him like this.Although Meng Chuxi felt that it was not because of how good she was, she still couldn't help showing a little proud expression.

Holding the extremely happy Zhou Qingwu, Meng Chuxi lowered her head and touched her forehead, and said with a low smile, "Do you think my sister is very powerful?" Her voice was low, soft and seductive.

Zhou Qingwu blushed immediately, but still nodded without hesitation.

Seeing her nodding like a chick pecking at rice, Meng Chuxi burst out laughing, but her face was still hot and flushed suddenly, which was very embarrassing.With a little daughter-in-law like Zhou Qingwu, she would swell.

One hundred guan is quite a lot, and the amount is astonishing. At that time, a copper coin weighed five baht, but now it is 1.3 grams per baht, which means that the weight of a consistent coin is nearly thirteen catties.One hundred guan has to be calculated in copper coins, which costs more than 1000 catties, which is enough to exchange for silver.Meng Chuxi was a little speechless, this ancient currency is really inconvenient.

She thought that if there was more, she would have to save it in a bank, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.Zhou Qingwu had already started counting there at the moment, and after counting the silver coins, he seemed to be quite a fan of money.

Finally finished counting, Meng Chuxi smiled and asked, "Isn't it?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded shyly, and gestured there again: Chu Xi is too powerful, he has sixteen hits a month, much more than others.

Meng Chuxi laughed, and shook her head: "I'm not so good, it's Qingwu."

Zhou Qingwu looked at her puzzled, Meng Chuxi took her hand, and said softly: "I've only been in for a month, how can I have such a high monthly fee, Qingwu you are inside, a full six guan."

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback, a little unbelievable: I have Liuguan?Didn't you say you don't need wages?

Seeing her disbelief, Meng Chuxi continued to coax the little girl: "So Qingwu is amazing, because you have done so well, so Uncle Zhong and the shopkeeper feel that they must pay you wages. In fact, there is not so much, because it is agreed. You don’t need wages, so you only have four guans, and the other two are supplied by Uncle Zhong and the shopkeeper. They like you very much. In this way, out of the sixteen guans, it’s not that you have six guans, which are comparable to someone , don't you think it's great?"

This sentence is comparable to someone making Zhou Qingwu more happy than this six-month money, but her cheeks were flushed but she was happy, and she confirmed once again: Are there really so many?

Meng Chuxi's eyes were soft, "It really is. Our Qingwu is great. We can go to the living room and the kitchen. We are a good wife and mother at home, and we can take care of ourselves outside. Originally, I wanted to support you, but now it seems that Qingwu doesn't need me to support you."

The smile on Zhou Qingwu's face froze for a moment, and he grabbed Meng Chuxi anxiously, nodding and gesticulating: If you want to raise, if you want to raise, I will give it to you, you raise me.

Meng Chuxi's heart was made cute by her, and she laughed happily: "So Qingwu wants to give me all the wages, and then let me support you?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded seriously, Meng Chuxi was so excited, he stepped forward and kissed her on the lips, his eyes flashed: "Why are you so cute?"

After being tired in the room for a while, the two of them went to cook.Looking at the man brimming with joy, Meng Chuxi's eyes were fond and soft.No matter how much Zhou Qingwu relies on herself, she understands that Zhou Qingwu never wants to be attached to herself, sometimes she needs to silently give her confidence to let her know that she is good enough to match her in every way.

And it's not a lie to her, she does have monthly money, Siguan.And she performed so well that Zhong Tower recommended her to Mr. Feng.Although she was worried that Zhou Qingwu would be wronged, it was a good recognition.

At night, Meng Chuxi hugged her, and when the lights were not turned off, the shadows of the two of them were cast on the wall, swaying on top of each other, intimate.Meng Chuxi played with her hair and told her what Zhonglou said by the way.

"Uncle Zhong thinks highly of you and wants you to learn how to manage accounts with Mr. Feng. He is the old accountant of the Yan family. This time, it was very harsh, so I was afraid that you would be wronged. But I know your temperament, so I didn't make the decision for you, what do you think?"

Zhou Qingwu understood what she heard, she nestled in Meng Chuxi's arms and thought, the person holding her spoiled her too much, "If you don't like that, I'll just say no, it's okay."

Zhou Qingwu hurriedly straightened his waist and gestured: I'm not afraid, I want to go.

In fact, this answer was expected by Meng Chuxi. Her Qingwu never wanted to be a dodder, how could she be scared away if she had the opportunity.Although she didn't want her to be wronged, she supported Zhou Qingwu's decision intellectually, so she didn't say anything else, but told: "Mr. Feng has a bad temper but he is not a bad person. If he scolds you, you are wronged." Come back and tell me, don't hold back, okay?"

Zhou Qingwu groaned and nestled into her arms, and for a moment she looked at Meng Chuxi with joy again, and gestured: You said you wanted to start your own business, and then I'll take care of the accounts for you, okay?

Meng Chuxi looked at her, hugged her, and sighed, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

After discussing with Zhou Qingwu, Meng Chuxi took Zhou Qingwu to see Bell Tower. Bell Tower acted quickly, and took Zhou Qingwu to Mr. Feng that day.

Because of the greeting in advance, Feng Yu knew Zhou Qingwu's situation, glanced at her and said bluntly: "The old man accepted you for the sake of Zhonglou and Tong Shuo, but you can't speak. It will take a lot of hard work to learn, but you Have you figured it out?"

Zhou Qingwu's eyes were clear, and he nodded firmly.

Feng Yu glanced at Meng Chuxi, and said to himself: "Your way of keeping accounts is a bit interesting, and you will be afraid of future generations."

Meng Chuxi quickly returned the gift: "I also made a mistake, and Mr. Feng praised me absurdly."

"Hmph, mistake, you said this too lightly, can you use mistake in bookkeeping?" Obviously he was dissatisfied with Meng Chuxi's statement, and immediately choked back without mercy.

Meng Chuxi was a little embarrassed and helpless, so she could only say, "Mr. taught me that." She glanced at Zhou Qingwu and smiled wryly. This Feng Yu was even more arrogant than Bell Tower.

"Okay, I'm going to be busy, you leave people behind and go quickly, don't delay me. Zhou Qingwu, come with me." Feng Yu didn't intend to be polite to them, so he called Zhou Qingwu and left.

Zhou Qingwu looked back at Meng Chuxi, and hurriedly followed.Meng Chuxi didn't move her eyes and looked worriedly until the person disappeared.

Seeing her like this, Zhonglou couldn't help laughing: "You look like this, those who don't know think you have sold your sister. Your sister is more worried than other people's mothers. Don't worry, Mr. Feng's demeanor, to her He has a pleasant face. He has a strange temper, but he is not impersonal, don't worry, go back."

Meng Chuxi blushed slightly, so she could only go back.
