Throughout the night, everyone suffered from insomnia.The next day we met each other with panda eyes on our faces.Especially Jiang Shuai was more haggard than others.

See the butler is still the same dress.Even Jiang Shuai couldn't stand the mending, so he couldn't help but ask him: "Why don't you change it." If this clothes is washed twice, it will become a waste cloth. This imposing mansion has such a big front yard and backyard. In this place, you can change clothes even if you catch a few fish casually.

"Clothes are small things. Such a big house requires money for everything." The housekeeper looked stingy, wishing he could break a penny into eight petals to spend.On the contrary, things like clothes have become optional.

Ming Xiang looked uncomfortable, and took out his worst piece of coarse cloth, his skin was delicate.It's not good to wear fine cotton.Not to mention the coarse cloth.Said: "Here." Although Ming Xiang was thin and weak, he came out to flee, Fu Wenyu told them to make every piece of clothing loose.I'm afraid that people will see that his thin skin and tender flesh are different.It's just that he didn't wear it once.It's cheaper butler.

The housekeeper hasn't worn new clothes for years.Now when he saw this, he was immediately happy and said, "Thank you, young master." His eyes were full of gratitude.

Even the eyes of the few stewards around him were full of jealousy.

It's just a piece of clothing.

Not so much.

Jiang Shuai sighed silently in his heart.This place is really poor.After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Is there any city lord here?"

The housekeeper looked disdainful: "It's long gone, we are in charge of this city now."

The people behind him were Zhang San, Li Si, and Zhu Lao Wu.Zhang San is in charge of the pond behind.Li Si is the duck.Zhu Lao Wu is in charge of the vegetable field in front of him.The housekeeper is Wang Er, who is in charge of the expenses and accounts of all the people in the house.

"How much income does the family have?" Jiang Shuai asked.

But Wang Er said with a bitter face: "We still have ten acres of land outside. It's just that the farmer's harvest is not good due to severe drought, and there is no one to cultivate it. It has long been a barren field. There are several shops and theaters in the city. Back then, it was a place where money was made every day. But now it’s gone and scattered, and even a tenth of the silver can’t be collected back. If the house hadn’t been changed to what it is now, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to survive.”

"Where do ducks come from?"

"Steal!"

"Where are the vegetable seeds?"

"In exchange for ducks."

"Where's the bullock cart?"

"Those people are fleeing to other places, and the oxen can't go away, so they exchange them with ducks!"

Jiang Shuai rubbed his hot temples: "How many of them did you steal?"

"Twenty."

"Bandits!" The capital, which is thousands of miles away, must have never imagined that the fiefdom has become so poor.

The crowd was silent.

Jiang Shuai said: "Go back and check every house for me. See how many people are still in the city. Which shop is open. You have to investigate clearly. Su Yuan and Ming Xiang will go with them." These two people are doing business. It's pretty safe.

"But in the house?"

"The butler stays."

Jiang Shuai looked at the grain storage, and there were only two bags of corn and a few bags of sweet potatoes. Wang Er told them that they usually just drink a little.Three more months.It's just that when they arrive now, even if they tighten their stomachs, they still don't have enough food for a month.

"What if there is not enough food?" Jiang Shuai asked him.

"I can only catch some fish and exchange them outside." Wang Er said.

Don't look at them making a big fish pond.The fish are fat and fat, but they are reluctant to eat any of them.To transport it to the outer city to sell, it takes ten days to walk, and it is especially difficult to bring fish with water.There are refugees and bandits along the way, and their lives are often in danger in order to get something to eat.

Jiang Shuai said, "Is there a shortage of salt?"

The housekeeper whispered: "There is a salt well in the backyard of our house. The salt can be dried out with water. It is better to cook with this salt than to buy it from outside!"

Jiang Shuai nodded.He casually asked Fu Wenyu beside him, "What do you want for lunch?"

Fu Wenyu said: "I want to eat grilled fish." Jiang Shuai's grilled fish skills were proficient in the two months of sailing at sea.Using the simplest ingredients can make the skin crispy but not mushy.The meat is tender inside.

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Okay! We'll have the fish right here." He took them directly to the pool in the backyard.Overcrowded.Constantly jumping up and down in the water.Each one weighs more than five or six catties.Just grab two of them.

Jiang Shuai took out a dagger.Skilled fish kill.After washing, cut the fish body into slices and pat it with salt.Fu Wenyu was not idle, and directly set up the stove.The one with the sky and the floor is just outside.The two have a great understanding of experience.After a while, the fish sizzled.The fat on the top melts into golden oil bubbles.I don't know what he added.The aroma is overflowing.The butler beside him kept swallowing.

The five or six catties of fatty fish are a bit too big for grilling.He just kept flipping.The fragrance diffused throughout the mansion.After a while, I saw the strong man come out smelling the fragrance.I am not afraid to see Fu Wenyu and Jiang Shuai.Crouching by the fire, watching the big fish with longing eyes.

It will be done in a short while.Jiang Shuai gave half to Fu Wenyu, and the rest to Wang Er and the strong man.The thorns are few and the meat is thick.Salt into the meat.Hot without any fishy smell.We have never eaten such delicious grilled fish.How could this be enough for a big man?Three times, five divisions and two divisions.They ate up all the fish, leaving only the spines.

"Master, the technique of grilling fish is really good!" It's fine if you can't eat it in the past, but this time you ate it.Hooked out all the gluttons in the stomach.Gulu Gulu can't stop screaming!Haven't had a meat star in months.I used to eat stewed fish during festivals.The stewed ones taste different from the roasted ones.

Fu Wenyu ate slowly, and could hear the sound of people around him swallowing.Especially the eyes of the strong man.Stare straight at the fish.

Fu Wenyu clapped his hands and said, "Eat it!"

The strong man was so happy that the corners of his mouth were almost cracked to the base of his ears: "Hey!" He replied happily.

The butler looked distressed all the time.This guy doesn't sleep with the master, and it's fine to eat the rice at home, but now he even wants to grab the meal of the serious lady, what a nonsense: "Don't take it, the lady is not full yet." He didn't admit to watching the strong man take the bowl , There is a feeling of jealousy growing in the chest.

The strong man stopped there, staring at Fu Wenyu eagerly.It's very pitiful, it's pitiful, with his size, let alone a small piece of fish, even two large fish are not enough for him to eat.

"Give it to him!" Fu Wenyu didn't care.

The butler said angrily: "Our Jiang family doesn't leave food for free. After eating our food, we have to work!"

While eating the grilled sweet fish with big mouthfuls, the strong man said vaguely: "I can work. I can farm!"

Jiang Shuai roasted another one.The butler was uncomfortable now.Wanting to eat at the same time, but also thinking about the master: "You haven't eaten a bite yet."

Jiang Shuai said: "I will eat this."

A grilled fish hooked everyone's cravings.Four pairs of eyes stared at the fish.Every time you turn it over, it has a strong umami taste.Works up the appetite.Can't help swallowing saliva.

Finally baked.Jiang Shuai gave half of it to himself, and another piece of tender fish to Fu Wenyu who was not full, and the rest to the housekeeper and the strong man.

The fresh feeling spreads from the tongue to the stomach, and the deliciousness makes people want to squint their eyes.Although they were not full yet, everyone was satisfied.
