Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Female General of the Yuemen
Yue Xi made his words clear, and the room was speechless.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to say it, but everyone doesn't dare to open their mouths. The unified opinion of Yue Xi is too unrealistic!
Even Zheng Baocai, a person who lives a big life, has calculated a rough idea, and it will take a few months to go from the imperial capital Qiantang to a long way.
The number of inns and restaurants to be built on such a long road is the first number, and this figure is scary just thinking about it!
And this scary number requires even more scary silver to complete, so just thinking about it, Zheng Baocai was a little discouraged: "Although my brother is just the first day of the new year, isn't it just a few days a year, let's give all the work around the capital this year, and go to other counties?" Isn't it too ......."
Yue Xi held her special tea cup in her hand, didn't drink it, just covered her hands. The palms of her hands were warm and made her feel comfortable.
After lowering her head and listening to Zheng Baocai's words, she raised her head and said lightly: "Who said that you have to do so much work in a year?" ”
"Not a year? How much time are you going to make all of this a reality? ”
"Ten years." Yue Xi said lightly: "Ten years, I will let the Taiping Bureau give peace to all of you here." ”
Ten years, ten years can be exchanged for peace in this life......
How tempting this is for those small people in ancient times who had to work hard for a day as long as they lived, which is unimaginable to modern people.
"Ten years to earn the silver that others earn in a lifetime?"
"It depends on who." Yue Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "I mean, according to the current days, if you don't spend money indiscriminately in ten years, then the silver in your hands should be enough to eat for the rest of your life." ”
"Isn't that the silver that others have to earn for a lifetime!"
The temperature in the main room suddenly rose, and the people in the room began to chatter.
……
When Zheng Baocai took his wife and children back, it was already dark.
Yue Xi asked someone to bring him a big food box, which contained both wine and dumplings, and filled a few plates: "For my uncle, the cover is tight, and it won't be cold when I go back." ”
A family of four sat in the car, and when they walked out, Zheng Baocai still twisted his neck and looked back from time to time.
The lady of the Zheng family hugged her sleeping little son and asked weakly, "The soul has fallen?" I said, what do you look back at? ”
Han Yuexi ...... Daughter-in-law, have you heard of this name? Zheng Baocai lowered his voice and asked.
"Why is this name so familiar?" The lady of the Zheng family immediately twisted her eyebrows and made a contemplative posture, and in a blink of an eye, she shouted: "Isn't it our Dazhao that dead queen mother!" ”
"Oh my mother!"
Zheng Baocai exclaimed, and his back was immediately wet with cold sweat. He only felt that the heart, liver, spleen and lungs in his stomach were shaking with the mule cart at this time, flickering and flickering, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became!
"Your mother?" The lady of the Zheng family reached out and twisted the snot on the boss's face and wiped it under the stool: "Isn't our mother long gone, what ......are you calling?"
Zheng Baocai's sweat was one after another, making him almost unable to sit on the stool.
Reaching out and pulling over the dog who had been leaning out to look out beside the lady, Zheng Baocai buried his head in the child's neck socket, and breathed in the unique milk fragrance of the dog with straight eyebrows, and his heart gradually calmed down.
No wonder she never told herself that she was a woman, and that it was strange that most of the people who followed her were women......
At this time, thinking about the strange things that happened to Yue Xi was no longer strange, Zheng Baocai said to himself: "I don't know any Han Yuexi...... I only know Yue Xi, and Yue Xi is my brother! ”
……
"Master, why do you meet again? Didn't eat dinner well? It's still freezing dumplings outside, and I'm cooking you a plate, right? I wanted to dye and wash up and pour water, and when I saw that the light was still on in the kitchen, I came to take a look, and unexpectedly found that Yue Xi was busy working in it alone.
"I made it, you hurry back to the house, you dare to run out in a jacket, and you are not afraid of freezing!" Yue Xi looked up at her and smiled.
"Oh." Since it was made for the Long Live Lord, the others really couldn't intervene, Xia Ran no longer insisted, turned around and left quickly: "The master also rests early." ”
Yue Xi knew that there were frozen dumplings outside the house, and they were 'thick skin without filling', and the taste was really bad! It's okay to eat a few by yourself, if you give it to the arrogant and squeamish 'daughter-in-law', Yue Xi feels that he can't take it!
"In the future, I have to invite a master to come back, Xia Ran and a few of them have no talent for cooking at all!"
After reconciling the noodles, buckle it on the basin with a large bowl, Yue Xi cut some minced meat, beat it with water before adding seasonings, and chopped two pieces of cabbage core with a green onion and white and mixed it in the minced meat, she lowered her head and smelled: "Well, fragrant!" ”
After putting the noodles on the board and sprinkling some thin noodles and kneading them twice, Yue Xi began to rub the noodles. I grabbed six agents in one hand and sprinkled them on the thin noodles.
"I really don't understand ......"
"I don't understand why I'm tinkering with this?" When Jin Niang entered the kitchen, Yue Xi heard footsteps, and when she opened her mouth, he turned back and smiled at her: "Something?" ”
"You tell me first, why are you so good at cooking, and you can ......" Jin Niang's arm stretched out from the cloak she was holding and shook it at Yue Xi.
"I followed my mother to live in the medicine store when I was very young, my mother has a big temper, and the people who served around her were scolded by her, and in the end, I dared to lean on her, you say, I don't cook, who cooks?"
After the dumpling agent was kneaded, Yue Xi sprinkled a thin noodle on top and rubbed it on the board with both hands, until each agent was stained with thin noodles and was no longer sticky, and she pressed it flat one by one......
"As for the fists and ......feet," Yue Xi reached out to get the rolling pin on the side of the table, but Jin Niang had already taken it one step ahead of her and handed it over: "I don't know this, so I won't get started." ”
Knowing she's giving
Knowing who she was making dumplings for, Jin Niang resolutely did not interfere, and saved people from causing trouble.
Yue Xi took the rolling pin, and said softly while rolling the dumpling skin: "As for the little thing on the fists and feet, it is also thanks to the childlike skills that my mother forced me to practice dancing when I was a child, it is nothing, but it is just neater than you." ”
Yue Xi's words are half-true and half-false, and no one can say anything if they hear it.
As he spoke, more than a dozen dumpling wrappers with thick edges in the middle had been rolled out, Yue Xi put down the rolling pin, picked up the size board for filling, and began to squeeze the dumplings: "What's the matter?" She raised her eyes to Jin Niang and asked.
"Yes...... Something. Jin Niang's face changed, she first looked back behind her, and saw that the two door panels were closed tightly before she saluted Yue Xi and said, "I'm here to make amends, and today I caused you trouble because of my words......
"Oops! Get up! Yue Xi hurriedly put down the things in his hand, and wanted to help Jin Niang, who was saluting, and both hands were noodles: "I have noodles on my hands, you hurry up, this matter should have been told to Brother Zheng a long time ago, and I was afraid of causing trouble to him, so I didn't tell the truth." ”
"And Brother Zheng is a man, he understands everything in his heart, he doesn't complain about me at all, why should you worry about it."
"That's good!" Jin Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face softened a lot: "If you shouldn't ask, if the business of the Taiping Bureau is bigger, do you still have to go to the south?" ”
"I won't be able to leave for a while, so I have to prepare first." Speaking of this, Yue Xi's actions in his hands paused: "It is estimated that it will take a few months to smooth out the business around our capital, and it will take six months to leave." ”
According to Yue Xi's thoughts, she wanted to go to Qiantang after the New Year, but she had no one in her hands, to be exact, there were few people who could take charge alone!
"Let me go, my family used to operate embroidery and satin, when I was a child, I was trained by her when I was by my mother's side, if you can trust me, let me go out and try?"
Jin Niang's Danfeng eyes were almost round, and she looked at Yue Xi nervously.
Yue Xi looked at her with a smile in his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, after the New Year, let's start the business on a few roads on the edge of the capital." ”
"Hmm." Jin Niang immediately smiled and nodded, she understood that Yue Xi wanted to see if she was a piece of material first.
Opening a shop in Qiantang is a big deal, and everyone has to be careful.
"Then I'll go back to the house." Estimating that the master who couldn't say it should come back, Jin Niang stopped grinding and opened the door and left.
The guys who came out of the palace were a little taboo in their hearts, especially unwilling to see Yingsu. Therefore, knowing that he was coming, the courtyard was exceptionally quiet, and he did not come out to go to the toilet at night.
"Evil Beast...... No one! ”
Listening to the footsteps outside the door and leaving in a hurry, Yue Xi's mind immediately appeared with that handsome face, but it was a pity that this guy was obviously not treated by the people around him, and everyone proved their fear of him with their actions......
Yue Xi shook his head helplessly, and he didn't know when the picture of a happy family, including Ying Su, that he longed for, would appear......
"What evil beast?" Wrapped in a cold air, Ying Su quietly entered the house from outside the door, and stood in front of Yue Xi with a smile after closing the door.
Yue Xi raised his eyes and saw his expression, knowing that what he said to Jin Niang had been listened to by him, so he pinched his cheek with one hand and said, "Why do you say you are so annoying!" When I heard that you were coming, I scared everyone out of the house! ”
"That's because they're sensible!" Ying Su bit Yue Xi's finger on one side of his head, drew a circle on her fingertip with the tip of his tongue, and then sucked a few times!
This obviously provocative action made Yue Xi's little heart tremble together, and she glared at him fiercely, but her voice was trilling: "Don't make trouble...... Do you still want to eat dumplings......"
"I want to eat the lady......" Ying Su let go of Yue Xi's fingers, leaned over but held her mouth: "I just want to eat the lady's ......"
Ying Su's kiss was playful and naughty, Yue Xi was bitten by his lip, and the two of them looked at each other eye to eye, both smiling......
"You're in a good mood, boy!" As soon as his mouth was free, Yue Xi quickly dodged and stood on the other side of the table, standing face to face with Ying Su: "Tell me, what good things have happened that make you so uncalm." ”
"Hmm......" Ying Su looked at her proudly and whispered, "Ask the lady something......"
"Loved!" Yue Xi immediately said.
"Huh?" Ying Su was dumbfounded for some reason......
------Off topic------
Think about it, how much it will be for Yue Xi to lead a group of ladies to kill the Quartet in the future......
