After Huo Lianjue retired from the hall, he returned to the study in the backyard of the yamen, he changed out of his official uniform and put on a homely plain white robe, picked up the official document he had seen half of before and continued to read it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know how long it took, but the official Ada cautiously probed in: "My lord, my lord......"

"What's the matter?" Huo didn't even raise his head, still writing at his desk.

Ada hurriedly said: "The notice for recruiting new catchers has been written, and it will be stamped with a big seal so that it can be posted." ”

"Good!"

Ada hurriedly spread the notice that the ink had not yet dried in front of Huo Lianjue, and after Huo Lianjue looked at it carefully, he opened the wooden box on the table and took out the big seal, which was stained with scarlet ink and covered it heavily on the notice.

Ada cautiously took the notice with the big seal before leaving the door of the study, but met the black-clothed uncle who was also unsmiling, and he hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Ye catches the head!"

"Hmm!" Ye Zhutou nodded casually, but did not stop at his feet, and went straight into the room.

"My lord, I'm back. ”

"Ye catches the head. Huo Lianjue finally raised his head from Ruhai's official document and asked aloud: "How is Li Erhu?"

Ye Zhutou picked up the cold tea on the table, took a big sip, wiped the water stains on the stubble, and then sighed: "I heard the doctor say that his leg is afraid that he can't be saved, and the others are skin injuries, and they will only recuperate for a few days." ”

"So serious?" Huo Lianjue's thick eyebrows frowned, and Jun, who had always been unsmiling, finally showed a trace of anger on his face: "This thief is too arrogant, even the people of the yamen dare to hurt him." ”

Ye Zhutou said helplessly: "My lord, these Jiangyang thieves who are wandering around are different from those who are splashing on the street, most of them are ruthless, and they are not afraid of the deterrence of the government at all. It's also the two tigers who are unlucky, and they just ran into this terrible evil star on patrol at night, and they just came out of Hu Mansion. ”

Huo Lianjue was still holding the cinnabar pen tightly in his hand, and his thin lips were closed tightly and he didn't make a sound. However, Ye Zhutou continued: "Just now, I saw that the lady of the Li Mansion on West Street was buying all kinds of rare antiques, saying that she was going to prepare a dowry for the second lady who was about to marry Liu Zhifu as a house-filler. I'm worried about ......"

Huo Lianjue sneered again and again, and said, "I'm worried that Li Mansion will be his next target?" Hmph, I'm afraid he won't dare to come......

――――――

After Ada posted the notice at the entrance of the ya, he sniffed hard by the way, the air was filled with a rich fragrance of noodles and the unique fragrance of the meat filling, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, stretched his neck to look at the crowded crowd at the yamen.

The big fat man in the crowd was sweating profusely chopping the minced meat, but the flower girl was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't know whether it was Dashuang or Xiaoshuang, who was kneading dough on the makeshift board.

And she saw the white and smooth dough flying up and down in the palm of her hand like a living thing. All of a sudden, it was stretched into a long strip, and at one moment it was torn into a dough. When kneading rises, she even tosses the dough high and then spun like a butterfly and reaches out to catch it from her back.

"Good ......"

"One more ......"

Seeing that the originally ridiculous bun making competition had turned into an even more ridiculous vaudeville show at the moment, Ada shook his head a little helplessly and funny.

Ada was about to turn around and go back to the yamen, but saw the elusive flower girl standing in front of him at some point.

Hua Lianyue showed a big smile on her pretty face, and she was still holding the notice he had just posted in her hand, and she happily said to Ada: "I don't know what to call this big brother?"

Ada can not change his face against the most vicious criminals, but in the face of this flower-like smile, his careful liver begins to jump uncontrollably. So he blushed slightly and said honestly: "The girl can call me Ada!"

"Ada!" Hua Lianyue called out loud: "In the yamen, this is to recruit fast?"

"Yes, isn't it clearly written on this notice?"

"Well, how many taels of silver are there in a month?"

Hearing this, Ada laughed and said, "The flower girl said that she was joking, our monthly routine is only six coins of silver." ”

"So little!" Hua Lianyue frowned slightly, this answer was obviously beyond her expectations.

Ada touched his head and said with a smile: "It's a lot, my brother works as a government servant in Qing L County next door, and he only has four dollars of silver a month, and he is often in arrears." ”

"Okay, six dollars is six dollars! Is it to eat and live in this yamen?" Hua Lianyue's long eyelashes blinked, and her big eyes flickered, like a curious baby.

Ada's black cheeks turned red again, and he snorted: "That's not necessarily, now only Ye Catcher is staying in the yamen for a long time, and the other yamen and catchers are all on duty in the yamen in shifts." ”

"That's it, I see, thank you Adago. Hua Lianyue's smiling appearance is like a strange aunt who abducts a little boy.

"No, no!" Ada turned around and returned to the yamen dizzily, and almost stumbled over the high threshold, he completely forgot the notice that he had posted before the paste had dried, and at this moment it had been removed by Hua Liyue and held tightly in his hand.

Hua Lianyue turned around with a smile, but she was right with Dashuang's little face full of disapproval.

"Miss, do you want to do fast catching?" Dashuang hated iron and steel.

"Well...... You see, the three of us have all spent all the money on us, and we can't steal it. In fact, it's good to catch quickly, and it's also a ...... to eat and live," Hua Lianyue looked empty-hearted.

"It's only six dollars a month, enough for us to spend a few days?" Dashuang began to count the accounts with his fingers.

"We used to be too extravagant, in fact, six coins of silver is a lot, and the Qing L county next door is only four dollars of silver per month. Let's save a little, and it can be used for a long time. Hua Lianyue nodded vigorously to show her determination.

"It's cheap to catch fast, if the master knows, he will be furious. Dashuang made heart-wrenching words and threats.

"It's Hua Lianyue who catches fast, what does it have to do with Daddy!" Hua Lianyue's eyes fluttered, but she didn't dare to look at Dashuang.

"It's a pity that the yamen won't accept women as fast catchers. "Dashuang finally used a killer move.

"Where, where?" Hua Lianyue hurriedly flipped through the notice in her hand. The content of the notice is very simple, only the number of people and positions that are recruited quickly, but it is not marked that it must be a man.

Probably Master Zhang, who wrote the notice, didn't expect that there would be a bold little lady like Hua Lianyue who whimsically revealed the notice.

"Dashuang, you are scaring me again, this notice clearly does not say that women can't be fast. Hua Lianyue's little face immediately turned cloudy, and she didn't see her big hands on her forehead, looking like she had a headache.......

Making steamed buns is different from making dumplings, rolling noodles, and it takes a long time just to let the dough rise until it is fluffy.

Fortunately, Xiaoshuang has been playing like a treasure, but it amused the lively crowd very happily, and he didn't feel that time was difficult at all.

It wasn't until the sun set, the red glow covered half of the sky, and flocks of tired birds chirped and crossed everyone's heads, that the well-made buns were successfully released from the cage in the thousands of calls of everyone.

Take a bite, your mouth is full of fragrance, chew it, and your cheeks will be full of relish. The snow-white skin is so soft that it melts in the mouth, and the proportion of fresh meat and chopped green onion and minced ginger in the filling is seamless. Shredded green onions, minced ginger will not rob the freshness of the fresh meat, but it hides the original fishy flesh of the pork, and the soup is overflowing, tender and delicious.

Zhang Dapang wiped a handful of sweat beads from his forehead, and looked at the crowd of people on the opposite side without tears, and then compared with the cold and desolate on his side. There are also those carefully made, steaming but unpopular buns, and a kind of sadness that the general trend has gone lingers in my heart.

A lame beggar couldn't squeeze into the crowd opposite, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally limped in front of Zhang Da Fat. In his eager eyes, the beggar trembled and reached out to take the buns in the cage.

Hua Lianyue smiled and walked over with a large plate of steamed buns, and she casually took two from her plate and threw them into the broken bowl held by the beggar. The beggar was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to hide aside with the broken bowl to taste the deliciousness.

Hua Lianyue turned around lightly and entered the half-hidden gate of the mansion like a flower butterfly. Completely ignoring Zhang Dapang's black face behind him, he shouted angrily: "Stinky girl, I Zhang Dapang and you are incompatible." ”

Hua Lianyue is generous at the moment like a fortune boy under the Bodhisattva's seat, one by one, fragrant, hot buns are sent into the hands of the officials on duty who meet along the way.

The officials also knew that the county magistrate had said not long ago that he wanted to give them a witness, so no one was so blind to stop her way. After all, the delicate and pretty little girl is full of smiles before she speaks, and she is particularly attractive wherever she goes.

Especially Ada, the simple big black boy was easily bought by a hot bun with a sweet smile, and he didn't forget to take Hua Lianyue to the study of the county magistrate.
