Chapter 61: The Yamen's Errand

Zhao Qingzao laughed twice, and then took his hand away: "Look for yourself!"

Shen Changting looked down and saw that there were two duck eggs in the bowl, and he looked up at Zhao Qingzao with a smile: "The good thing you said is this duck egg?

Zhao Qingzao glanced at him with a smile, but did not explain anything out loud, but picked up a duck egg in the bowl, carefully peeled it off, and slowly broke it from the middle, and in an instant the yellow oil flowed out, and she hurriedly put the two halves of duck eggs into Shen Changting's bowl.

At this time, Shen Changting was also dumbfounded: "This ...... Is this still a duck egg? How can it have oil?"

Zhao Qingzao explained with a smile: "This is my salted duck egg, and this oil is because it is sealed and salted and stored for more than ten days, it will be there, you hurry up and taste it, it will be very delicious." ”

Shen Changting nodded, then picked up a piece and tasted it, and then his eyes lit up, and he didn't even care about speaking, he just lowered his head and ate his own things.

Zhao Qingzao saw that he was eating so deliciously, and his mood became better, and he also ate two large bowls of rice in a row.

After Shen Changting was full, he picked up the handkerchief that Zhao Qingzao had prepared for him and wiped his mouth, then looked at Zhao Qingzao with a smile: "Qingzao, this duck egg is really delicious, I like it very much." ”

Zhao Qingzao put down the bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you like it, I'll make it for you in the future." ”

Shen Changting nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, he felt that Zhao Qingzao was virtuous in his heart.

Chapter 61: Wild Duck Eggs

The two of them had eaten, and after a simple wash, they went to bed separately, and the next day, Zhao Qingzao woke up early, and then after washing, he hurriedly prepared breakfast for Shen Changting, he had to go to work in the yamen after eating, and it was not good to be late.

Zhao Qingzao quickly lit the fire, and then quickly made a simple breakfast, and then put it on the table, this is Shen Changting also got up, after Zhao Qingzao saw it, he began to urge him to hurry up and wash, and then eat.

Shen Changting agreed with a smile, and walked to the well, and after freshening up, he came to the hall, and Zhao Qingzao was already able to sit there and wait for him.

So he immediately walked over quickly, sat down, and then looked at her with a smile and said, "You don't have to get up so early in the future, it's still early! You can sleep a little longer, and besides, this breakfast is also sold outside, I'll just buy something to eat, you don't have to work so hard." ”

Zhao Qingzao shook his head with a smile: "When this time comes every day, I can't sleep, besides, you have a lady, why do you have to go out to buy it! And what I make is not much better than what they sell?"

Shen Changting smiled and nodded: "It's better than theirs, that's for sure, it's just, don't I can't bear to watch you work so hard?"

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's cooking for you, I like it. Zhao Qingzao hurriedly shook his head.

Seeing her insisting, Shen Changting didn't say anything anymore, but peeled one of the boiled eggs on the table and put it in her bowl: "Then you can eat more." ”

Zhao Qingzao looked down at the smooth eggs in the bowl, nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Xianggong, and then picked up the chopsticks and was ready to eat, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door."

Zhao Qingzao put down the chopsticks in his hand and said suspiciously: "Who is it so early!" Then he was about to get up and open the door, but was stopped by Shen Changting: "You sit down! I'll go open the door and eat the eggs quickly, it's not good if it's cold." ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded slightly: "Got it, then you go and open the door!" Shen Changting couldn't help but show a smile on his face when he saw her so obedient, and then turned around and went out to open the door.

After a while, he walked in, and Zhao Qingzao put down the bowl in his hand and looked at him: "What's the matter?

Before Shen Changting could reply, a tough male voice came from behind him: "Qingzao, it's me, hiking." ”

When Zhao Qingzao heard this, he hurriedly got up, looked at him with a smile and said, "It turned out to be hiking! Come in and sit down, by the way, have you eaten? We just eat, why don't you eat together?" I'll go get you a bowl." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl, Chu Xingshan saw her movements, and hurriedly stopped him: "Qing Zao, you don't have to be busy, I have already eaten, the porridge made by grandma is still accompanied by the salted duck eggs you sent yesterday! It's delicious, I drank three bowls of porridge!"

Hearing him say this, Zhao Qingzao sat down in his place: "You can think it's delicious, there are still some at home, you can come and get it after eating." ”

And Shen Changting, who was sitting next to her, also continued: "Yes, you just listen to the green dates, and you don't have to be polite to us." ”

Chu Xingshan smiled and touched his head: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you." ”

Zhao Qingzao also looked at him with a smile: "That's good, by the way, hiking, are you here today for something?"

Only then did Chu Xingshan remember the purpose of his visit, and he hurriedly put the basket he was carrying on the table: "Green dates, these green-skinned duck eggs are for you." ”

Zhao Qingzao first turned his head to look at Shen Changting next to him, and then looked at Chu Xingshan: "Hiking, you should keep these duck eggs for your grandmother to eat, we still have duck eggs at home!"

Chu Xingshan smiled and waved his hand: "Green dates, this is what my grandmother asked me to send to you, and besides, I have tasted your salted duck eggs, which are very delicious, so I will bring these to you and let you continue pickling." ”

Zhao Qingzao was a little embarrassed and said: "However, you also bought these duck eggs with money, we ...... them."

Shen Changting also agreed on the side: "That's right! Hiking, you can take it back! We still have a lot of duck eggs at home!"

Chu Xingshan smiled and waved his hand: "It's not to buy, it's not to buy, this is what I went into the mountain and picked up by the stream in the mountain, there are wild ducks there, so these duck eggs are still there, so there is no need to spend money at all." ”

Zhao Qingzao's eyes lit up: "These are wild duck eggs?"

"Yes, it's wild, so it's bigger than our family, but this fishy smell is also stronger, green dates, don't dislike it. Chu Xingshan reached out and touched his nose embarrassedly.

Zhao Qingzao glanced at the wild duck eggs in the basket a few times, and looked up at the two men in the room with a smile: "You don't know! This pickled salted duck egg, if you want to taste the best and the most authentic, you really have to use these wild duck eggs!"

Shen Changting and Chu Xingshan glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhao Qingzao, who was excited, and asked in unison, "Really?"

Zhao Qingzao looked at the two big men and laughed: "When did you two become so tacit?"

Shen Changting was a little embarrassed and coughed embarrassedly, while Chu Xingshan blushed directly and sat there helplessly, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Qingzao also saw his crampedness, and stopped laughing: "Okay, okay, I'm joking with you! Don't take it seriously." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chu Xingshan: "Xingshan, what I just said is not to comfort you, what I said is true, when I marinate these wild duck eggs, I will send them to you to taste them, and see if they are better than domestic ones, and then you will know that what I said is true or false." ”

Chu Xingshan smiled happily at this time: "As long as it can be used, I'll go into the mountain to pick up more in two days." ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded with satisfaction: "Hiking, you are so good, every time you enter the mountain, you can find good things, either wild meat, or some delicious wild fruits, I really admire you so much." ”

Chu Xingshan was embarrassed by her praise: "Qingzao, don't say that, because I am a boy, I have been dishonest since I was a child, and I love to drill into the depths of the mountains when I come. ”

Hearing others praise her husband, Zhao Qingzao's heart was already happy, and she also glanced at Shen Changting beside her with satisfaction, but she still had to be modest in front of outsiders: "Xingshan, you are also exaggerating, our parent pavilion is a little more recognizable, and there is nothing else." ”

Shen Changting also bowed his hand slightly towards Chu Xingshan: "Qingzao is right, Xingshan is indeed too high to think of me." ”

But Chu Xingshan shook his head firmly: "Changting is too modest, my grandmother praises you at home every day, saying that you have deep knowledge and great knowledge, let me learn more with you!"

Zhao Qingzao then remembered that she was going to tell Chu Xingshan something, she tugged on Shen Changting's sleeve and whispered, "Didn't you tell Xingshan the news last night? Now that he happened to come over, let's tell him directly!"

Shen Changting also remembered, he looked at Chu Xingshan and said with a smile: "Xingshan, I heard your grandmother say two days ago that she wants you to find something to do in the yamen, I don't know what you think about this matter?"

Chu Xingshan's face was slightly red: "Changting, Qingzao, my nurse came to you, please find me an errand in the yamen, right?"

Zhao Qingzao nodded lightly: "Yes, Grandma told me." ”

At this time, Chu Xingshan's face was even redder: "What if...... If I'm causing you trouble, then I'm sorry for being here now. ”

"Hiking, there's nothing troublesome, didn't I just say it? You don't have to be so polite to us. Shen Changting waved his hand at him slightly.

"Yes! You're welcome. Zhao Qingzao also smiled and said, "Also, what do you think in your heart? Do you also want to be an errand boy in the yamen?"

Chu Xingshan nodded lightly, plucking up the courage to look at the couple and the couple: "Yes, I also want to work as an errand in the yamen, I don't give up my current short-term job because I am too tired to work as a coolie for others, I am ...... I am...... I am not reconciled to do this because I can't get ahead in my whole life as a part-time worker, and I still want my grandmother to live a good life! As an errand boy in the Yamen, I can do any hard work or tiring work, and I believe that as long as I do a good job, someone will definitely appreciate me. ”

Hearing his words, Shen Changting believed in his character even more: "That mountain, I still lack a handyman in the yamen, would you like to come over?"

Chu Xingshan looked at Shen Changting in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Qingzao: "What......? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true! Zhao Qingzao replied to him with a smile.

Chu Xingshan's hands were shaking happily at this time, but Shen Changting continued to tell him: "Xingshan, the county magistrate will see you tomorrow, you don't have to be nervous, I will accompany you when the time comes, whatever the county magistrate asks you, you can answer truthfully." ”

Chu Xingshan nodded reassuringly: "I know, I'll go tell the nurse the good news now." With that, he hurried out.
