Chapter 196: Repeated defeats and battles
Shumin took off his soaked cloak, tossed it aside, and lit the stove to prepare dinner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rain became heavier and heavier, and a thin water curtain was hung on the edge of the grass house, Yao Su looked at the people who were rushing to sow seeds in the smoke and rain, and his heart was infinitely emotional.
Born in a nobleman, he has thousands of hectares of fertile land under his name, but he never knew that grain was so hard-won.
"Can you make sure that these two rice crops will be successful?" The sudden cold rain made the weather suddenly return to winter, and he asked the question again as he looked at the people who were competing with God for time.
Shu Min was kneading his dough vigorously, and when he heard his question, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Heaven is not beautiful, but cover it with clear paper, there should be no big problem, it really can't be done, you can only burn some charcoal around the field to ensure that these seeds will not be frozen to death." ”
The spring cold is steep, no matter how cold it is, it can't last long, as soon as the sun comes out, the temperature will immediately warm.
"Then I'll ask someone to bring you some black charcoal. Yao Su said.
Although the cost of using black charcoal insulation is higher, if the seedlings can be guaranteed to grow smoothly, such charcoal fires are nothing.
"Then I'm sorry for you, but Master Yao, why do you care so much about the two crops of rice? Could it be that you want to do a grain business?" She is naturally grateful for someone to help her, but Yao Su is a businessman, why does he help himself again and again if there is no benefit?
"The two crops of rice are of far-reaching significance, and it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and Yao can do some meager efforts. Yao Su replied, his ordinary face showed a trace of worry about the country and the people, but it was fleeting, and he changed it to a calculating smile, and said, "Yao is just gambling, if you succeed in research, Yao also hopes to be able to get a little light at that time." Shinong businessman, Yao wants to have a good reputation and raise his identity, Mrs. Qin won't refuse, right?"
"Poof. Shu Min smiled when he heard this. Yao Suruo is an ordinary businessman, this makes sense. But he is the behind-the-scenes boss of Xingsheng Commercial Bank, one of the three major commercial banks in the country, and his friends are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, where does he need Shumin to help him raise his identity?
Besides, although his expression of worrying about the country and the people just now was short-lived, Shumin could see it clearly.
"That thanks to Master Yao's blessing, I hope that the two crops of rice can be successful at one time. Shumin said and continued to knead the dough.
It was getting late, and she had to hurry up and make dinner for everyone.
"That...... Master Yao, can you help me lick the fire?" Ah Fu has not come back from sending ginger soup, Shu Min's hands are stained with flour and it is not suitable to burn the fire, only Yao Su is idle alone, Shu Min has no choice but to beg him.
Yao Su was stunned when he heard this, saw her hands full of flour, smiled, shook his head, and went to light the fire.
With help, Shumin's movements were much faster, she kneaded the dough, cut off the vegetable and meat filling that had been reconciled beforehand, and began to make the pie.
She really doesn't have the talent to make flatbread, but every time she enters the kitchen, she chooses to make flatbread, is this the legendary repeated defeat?
Seeing the strange-shaped flatbreads she hurriedly shot, Yao Su couldn't look directly and was speechless.
"The fire should be smaller, otherwise it will burn. Shumin commanded Yao Su while baking flatbread.
"If the fire is bigger, it's going to be cold. ”
"The fire is smaller, it's too hot"
.......
Yao Su discovered for the first time that it turned out that burning a fire was more difficult than fighting.
After countless times of making the fire bigger and the fire smaller, the flatbread was finally baked. Although the shape is a little weird, in the cold rain night, the aroma of sesame oil and meat is also mouth-watering.
Yao Su unceremoniously took a flatbread in his hand and nibbled on it, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth, and the more he ate, the more delicious he felt.
"Good luck today that there was no broken cake. Shumin picked up the flatbread one by one into the basket, changed it with a cloth and kept it warm, and was very satisfied with the flatbread baked today.
Rao is Yao Su is cultivation is very good, and he can't help but give her a big white eye.
Although Yao Su was holding the flatbread in his hand and nibbling on it, his innate elegance not only did not make him vulgar, but made him more full of human touch, and his temperament was tightly integrated with this landscape and pastoral, and it did not seem abrupt at all.
If it weren't for that ordinary face, he would simply be a fairy-like figure who came out of landscape paintings.
"Alas...... It's a pity. Shu Min felt a little bit in his heart, and felt that his face was very inconsistent with his temperament, and even had some contradictory feelings.
If you still have a face, not to mention the handsome and shocking world, even if it is more delicate. Shu Min felt a little bit in his heart.
This is not to say that Yao Su's current face is ugly, but compared to his bearing and temperament, this face looks a little out of place.
"What are you looking at?" Yao Su was eating intently, as if no one was around, but suddenly saw Shu Min staring at him, and sighed from time to time, thinking that he had something on his face, and unconsciously touched his cheek.
It was nothing, but this touch wiped the oil on his hands on his clean face, and suddenly there were a few more marks on his white face.
"Haha......" Shumin looked amused, pointing to his cheek, but the more he touched it, the dirtier it became, and half of his face looked like a flower cat.
"Is there anything else?" Yao Su was overwhelmed by her laughter, and hurriedly wiped her face together, but the clean other side of her face soon couldn't escape the fate of being dirty.
It's a pity that there is no mirror, the more Yao Su wipes his face, the dirtier it becomes, and he is a little annoyed in his heart, so he has to look at Shumin for help.
Shumin held back a smile, took out a cotton handkerchief from his cuff, dipped it in water and prepared to hand it to him.
Yao Su closed his eyes directly, anyway, he didn't know where his face was dirty, so he simply asked Shumin to wipe it for him.
"This man must be used to being served at home. Shu Min thought to himself, and after being stunned for a moment, he wiped his face without bothering.
Although it was an ordinary face, his skin was really good! The oil was difficult to wipe clean, and Shumin wiped it twice before wiping it off for him.
When the cotton handkerchief rubbed the delicate white skin, even Shumin couldn't help but be jealous.
If that face is a little more delicate, how many women will be fascinated?!
"Okay?" Seeing her wipe it over and over again, Yao Su couldn't help but open his eyes, but he just happened to meet a pair of bright eyes that were looking at his face seriously, those eyes were very clean and with undisguised appreciation, Yao Su's heart suddenly missed two beats.
Shumin was admiring his flawless skin, but he suddenly opened his eyes, a little embarrassed, smiled, and handed him the cotton handkerchief.
"Your hands are dirty, wash them aside. ”
"Oh, good. Yao Su took the handkerchief, scooped water next to the bucket on the side, and washed his hands. He had his head down, and there was some blush on his face, but when he looked up, the blush on his face had disappeared, and his face had returned to normal.
Me and her are just mutually beneficial, Yao Su's identity will not last long, after all, once he returns to the capital, he has more important things that he needs to complete with his original identity.
"Everyone worked hard to get the seeds planted before it got dark. Zhengshun was dressed in a robe, staring at the pouring rain falling from the sky, and shouted to everyone at the top of his voice.
"Okay. Everyone replied and quickened their pace.
"Alas...... I hope that these seeds will sprout and grow as scheduled, and it will not be in vain that we have been drenched in the rain for a day. "At the end of the day, everyone was exhausted and worried. Now that the spring is cold, it is really not the time to sow seeds, in case they are busy in vain, the loss of seeds is a small matter, and it hits the hearts of everyone, and they will not have the confidence to study two crops of rice in the future.
"Rest assured, Mrs. Qin said that if you can succeed, you will definitely succeed. This batch of seeds will definitely sprout. Zhengjian was happy and full of confidence in Shumin.
Unconsciously, his feelings for Shumin have fallen into a blind obedience attitude, thinking that as long as Shumin says and does it, it must be right.
If someone refutes him at this moment, he will definitely say that you are not convinced? If you are not convinced, you will also invent tofu, invent tricycles, and invent mercury in pressurized water?
Madame Qin, who was able to make those unprecedented inventions, became almost synonymous with omnipotence in his eyes.
Chu Feng glanced at this brother speechlessly, and wanted to say, "I'll wait for you to see the big cake she made in a while, and see how you can tell yourself!"
Even though everyone was wearing a cloak and a hat, they were still wet. It was cold and tired, Shumin hurriedly asked everyone to scoop up hot water and wash and change clothes.
"Mrs. Qin, what are we going to eat at night?" Looking at the steaming pot, the smell of meat emanated from it, and everyone's stomachs growled.
"Flatbread and broth in the evening. Shumin stirred the broth, in addition to minced meat and noodles, there was also a lot of ginger in it, and it was eaten on flatbread to fill the stomach and ward off the cold, which was very suitable for dinner on a day like today.
The men were cold, tired and hungry after a long day's work, and everyone was holding the warm broth, nibbling on the flatbread, and eating happily.
Yao Su and Ah Fu also joined them, but they ate much more elegantly than the hungry people.
"Mrs. Qin, your flatbread is beautiful and delicious, do you say yes?" Zhengjian said happily as he drank the broth. In the past few days, although he is often late for Minyuan's meals, it is the first time that Shumin has eaten it himself, and he is full of joy when he thinks of this.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched when they heard this, looked at the strangely shaped big cake in their hands, paused, and moved their buttocks away, away from Zhengjian.
They are honest people, and they really don't say anything against their hearts.
Chu Feng almost choked when he heard this, and he held his forehead and thought that this kid was not saved.
Yao Su had eaten flatbread before, but he was not hungry, but at this moment he was drinking a bowl of broth in small sips, and when he heard this, he felt a smile on his mouth, thinking that the taste of flatbread was indeed good. Thinking of his face full of food, and the way she wiped her face for herself, the flush on his face crept up again.
However, drinking hot soup and eating hot cakes on a cold and rainy night, everyone's bodies were warm and their faces were red. (To be continued.) )
