Husband and wife are hot on the kang

From the beginning of the sixth day, some people walked out of their homes and started a New Year's greetings trip in the village.

The first one was Yang Da's family, but this time it was Yu Juren and Shi Hong who went, all the old men who were in charge of the house, no female relatives, and Aunt Qiao's mother also invited, and Qiao Xiaowu, By the way, they asked Li Huiniang, the new daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, to help, and the three women cooked four tables of meals.

In fact, the meals are very simple, that is, boiled meat, stir-fried leeks with bean sprouts, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pickled cabbage vermicelli and frozen tofu, a spinach and egg soup, and the staple food is steamed buns with two noodles and fried bean buns.

The steamed buns with lianghe noodles were steamed by Mrs. Yang years ago, and the fried bean buns are Mrs. Qiao's specialty, with a little sugar sprinkled on top.

Less than Juren ate a whole four!

"You are still the same as when you were a child, you like to eat this!" Yang Da's face was full of red. Although the braised pork was changed to white meat in consideration of the younger Juren, but Yu Liangji was able to come over with Shi Hongda early, just to give him face and cut the younger Juren. There is no pretense when eating.

"I have loved to eat since I was a child!" Yu Yu raised people to beat snakes and stick them on him.

The original owner's memory does have this memory, and Mrs. Qiao learned this song from the original owner's mother. In order to coax the children to eat, and there was nothing good to eat at home, they used some oil and fried bean buns.

Less oily, not greasy, crispy on the outside, sticky rice noodles in the middle, and sweet bean filling inside.

Although they drank strong wine, they prepared rice wine for Yu Juren, and no one dared to pour him wine, because there were people sitting beside him!

The old village chief on the left, Grandpa Che on the right, and Shi Hongda on the opposite!

"Xiaojuren, the licorice apricot you told me about last time, let's try it this year!" The old village head deliberately mentioned this when everyone was already here and started eating.

This meal has only been drunk for three rounds, and it is time to start chatting.

"Okay, let's talk to everyone." Yu Liangji knew what the old village head meant, and deliberately said at this time, anyway, there are people who can be the masters of the house.

So the old village head said, especially one thing to name, this thing can be kept for oneself to eat, of course, if you want to sell it for money, don't stop it!

It's just that the big guys haven't done much, and they don't like innovation very much. Apricots are something that they usually eat, and they don't like it very much. They are all grown-ups. Women and children like it!

The old village head didn't expect everyone to have such an attitude, so he was a little unhappy at that time!

Yu Juren tugged at him: "It's okay, it will be fine tomorrow."

"It will be all right tomorrow?" The old village chief was baffled. Will it be all right in just one day?

"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables!" Yuju put his head down and ate. Although Mrs. Yang's cooking skills are mediocre, she excels in that the dishes are ordinary and taste homely, and the most important thing is that there is no extra oil!

I'm getting a little tired of eating recently, Yu Juren thinks so.

But the matter of the licorice apricot was still heard by everyone.

The second was a treat at Fu Dazhuzi's house. Although he had greeted him in advance, Yu Liangji brought his things early the next morning, let Shi Hongda and Batu ride horses, and Batu drove to the county town!

I didn't want to go to the banquet at all!

The reason Liu Wenxi gave was simple: to visit friends in the county!

"Visiting friends? Does he still have friends in the county?" Fu Dazhuzi didn't believe it at all!

"It's the county magistrate." Liu Wenxi almost squinted at him at the gate: "We have been in touch."

Fu Dazhuzi choked on his saliva!

How could he forget?

I don't know if Yu Juren gave the magistrate a salute during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, but their family did get a salute from the magistrate!

Fu Dazhuzi couldn't help feeling uneasy because he thought he acted recklessly. Xiao Juren knew the county magistrate, what if he retaliated against him?

Yu Juren really didn't have time to take revenge on him!

Because Xiao Juren had inquired about it a long time ago, the brothers of the Fu family were here to treat them to dinner in the past two days, so he could have two days to go out and walk around!

It was almost noon on the first day when they arrived at the county seat, and it was because they got up early and got up before dawn!

When you arrive, go directly to Yang Kai, because they are just such an acquaintance!

Yang Kai just opened for business. Although the snack shop has small profits but high sales, it won't be closed for a few days. After all, every day is money!

"Why are you here at this time?" Yang Kai was surprised when he saw Shi Hongda.

"When I come to visit friends in the county, I will come to your place to have a look!" Shi Hongda pointed to the double-wheeled carriage at the back: "Xiao Juren is also here."

"Quickly, get out of the car and enter the house!" In the first lunar month of the new year, there are much fewer pedestrians outside, and all the people going back and forth are carriages from various families visiting relatives or visiting friends.

Yu Juren opened the door of the carriage and greeted Yang Kai. Yang Kai almost couldn't recognize Yu Juren's outfit when he saw Yu Juren's outfit!

Xiao Juren this time is more grand than the last time he frightened Fu Dazhu and fooled the Zhang family at home, because it was his first visit to the county magistrate!

Still in the name of a private person!

It doesn't matter if you don't want to be grand!

So when he got out of the car, he was very careful.

After arriving in the house, there was no one in there, and Yang Kai's wife also came out, she was taken aback when she saw Yu Juren, and then immediately became cautious.

"Don't look at me like this, I have no other choice!" Yu Juren said with a bitter look on his face, "I still have to visit my lord in the afternoon, well, second brother Yang, get me something to eat, I got up early in the morning and drank a bowl Porridge is nothing else, I'm hungry now!"

He got up too early in the morning and had no appetite, so he drank a bowl of porridge and fell asleep leaning on the pillow when he got in the car. Fortunately, he combed his hair with a net towel, which was not easy to mess up, and covered his head with a Confucian hat.

He was still wearing a rabbit fur cloak, and even had this huge hood. He looked in front of the mirror, and he was really like a jade!

Just one mouth, and the temperament is gone!

"You boy, I'm so nervous if you don't talk." Yang's second daughter-in-law immediately laughed, and wiped the table and bench with a new towel: "Sit here, the first day of opening today, there will be distinguished guests coming! I must go this year Great luck."

"Business is booming!" Only then did Yu Juren realize that he wanted to congratulate someone.

Yang Kai quickly cooked two dishes, the main thing was to warm up a large plate of steamed buns, and to pad their stomachs first. It was already noon, and a guest came to eat, but when he saw the Yu Juren inside, he also turned around and left!

It's still very awkward for ordinary people to eat with this kind of nobleman, so they just don't come to eat!

Yang Kai and his daughter-in-law didn't pay attention, Shi Hongda saw it, and saw that Xiaoju was full, so he dragged him to say goodbye, and paid the full price for the meal. Hongda even packed the meal money with a small lotus.

"It's exquisite!" Watching Yu Juren and his party go to the biggest inn in the county on the opposite street, Yang Kai stood at the door, his wife clutching her purse.

"He's making faces for us. I'm giving you a purse to make you happy!" Yang Kai wiped the apron on his body, and wiped the table with a new towel today, which is really right!

When the group arrived at the inn, they directly chose an upper room. Fortunately, because of the Chinese New Year, the inn had just opened and there were few people there. The waiter took them to the upper room graciously. This time it was different from the inn they went to last spring.

The upper room is divided into two rooms, the outer room is the living room, and the inner room is the bedroom, separated by a thick curtain.

Both the inside and the outside have fire walls, the inside is a kang with brand new bedding, and the outside is an Eight Immortals table and a circle of stools.

There is a painting on the wall, which depicts the snow scene in the Northland, and there is a couplet. A long table is leaning against the wall, and there are two vases on it, with feather dusters in it, and an incense burner in the middle, with incense rising slowly. It is a faint jasmine fragrance.

There are even two pots of daffodils on the windowsill!

It looks very advanced at first glance!

But no matter what, Yu Juren was a little sleepy, but he couldn't mess up his hairstyle, so he had to lie on the kang to catch up on sleep. Shi Hongda supported his head to keep his hair from messing up. After all, no one here can comb this kind of hairstyle , this was combed by Aunt Song, not even Miss Song!

Batu was resting in the other upper room, and Bado was looking at the carriage and the gifts on it from below. After all, in their view, gifts are very precious and there should be no mistakes.

After sleeping until one o'clock in the afternoon, Yuju woke up and wanted to stretch, but was stopped by Shi Hongda!

"Don't stretch your waist, you can't stretch your waist with this clothes!" Shi Hongda's voice immediately woke up Yu Juren.

"Ah!" Yu Juren sighed, "I haven't posted it in a day!"

"After the meeting with the county magistrate and the gift of the new year, let's come back and change our clothes before we go back!" Shi Hongda helped him up in a funny way, squatted on the ground and put on boots for him: "I'll go right away, and when I get there, have a cup of tea Let's say goodbye!"

There is absolutely no need to talk to him!

"Is this okay?" This is the New Year!

It was the first time for him to visit someone, and just drink a cup of tea?

"What's wrong?" Shi Hongda was noncommittal.

"Anyway, I have to treat guests to dinner, and drink some wine?" Xiao Yu was puzzled: "Look, I brought both Mr. Batu and the three of you to drink. When the time comes, get down with him!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and waved it in the air, very silly!

"What's for dinner? What's for drink?" Shi Hongda put on his shoes and stood up, giving him a slap in the face: "There are a lot of people waiting to meet the county magistrate! Like us, he has to be grand." Reception, if we don't take up his time, he should be happy!"

Yu Juren hugged his head: "Don't hit it! The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the hairstyle can't be messed up!"

"Stop looking at the unofficial histories of the Holy Grandfather, it's not interesting!" Shi Hongda got up and carried him the big woolen clothes, signaling him to go out.

Yu Juren touched his face in grief and indignation, he traveled through the seniors!

The county government office is the most beautiful building in the county. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, Sheng Taizu had his own department for building management, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and he implemented high salaries to support honesty. The salary of the county magistrate was as high as 3000 taels of silver. High, not counting bonuses for outstanding achievements.

The county magistrate lived in the official mansion behind the county government office. When they arrived, there were already many people begging to see him at the door, but a middle-aged butler, a man with a small beard, blocked the door and said, "Please, everyone!" Go back, my lord has an appointment with someone today, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you all."

"Big steward, who is it? Can you compare us country gentry?" Some people are not convinced, but at this time, when they can openly give gifts, his family has connections, and they already know that the county magistrate is likely to raise his salary. Because the official performance appraisal is probably a top.

"You can't talk too much about this. They are all squires under the master's rule. You don't want to embarrass the master, right?"

The man shut up.

The big butler had a smile on his face, but he was already roaring in his heart: Why don't you come?

If it wasn't for the letter saying that he would come to visit, why would he be waiting here?Being entangled?

At this time, Shi Hongda and the others arrived, but Yu Juren didn't get out of the car because he heard the commotion outside, so he got out of the car and saw many people holding gift boxes. Is this a gift?Is it too blatant?

Later, I heard that the butler was refusing, and I was a little unconfident about the gift I brought. If someone else refused, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to come here?

But it's okay, if he also refuses, he will sell the licorice apricot to others in exchange for money, and he can show off to the villagers when he goes back.

Shi Hong didn't even get off the horse, and directly threw a hot silver invitation to the housekeeper: "Show your master a look!"
