"Hurry up and go into detail, not a word is allowed to slip out."

The county magistrate's wife suppressed the pride in her heart, carefully put the pancakes wrapped in straw and linen paper in her hand on the stone table in the courtyard, and let her family sit down with peace of mind, before she spoke clearly.

It turned out that the county magistrate's wife was very aware of her wife's social duties, and this morning she heard that the relatives of the Zhang family's mansion had come to the county seat, so she hurriedly brought her mother-in-law and girl over to pay a visit.

The county magistrate's wife thought that she was noble, and it was not easy to deal with these vulgar soldiers. When the people of the Zhang family returned to the county seat of Zhang, they handed the post in, and the concierge of the Zhang house was decent and respectful, but it was passed back as the old saying goes, the Zhang family was filial piety and inconvenient to see guests, so please bear with Yunyun if you neglect it.

The county magistrate's wife even ate two closed soups, and her heart was also bored, so she took her entourage to look at some clothes and jewelry in the streets of the county to relieve her depression, this Ping'an county is also very prosperous, walking around, I saw a neat building, the signboard in front of the door, it was clearly written, Ping'an County Telegraph Office.

The county magistrate's wife thought that she should also contact her son who was studying in the capital, so she walked into the telegraph room and delayed for a while, her own affairs were done properly, and she was about to go back, when she saw a few children walking in, the two little girls in front of her were plain dresses, plain tweed coats, and simple makeup, but the demeanor and demeanor made people see at a glance that it was the young lady who brought the girl, and the two little boys accompanied them left and right, and they did not look like ordinary children.

As soon as the county magistrate's wife was about to step out of the door, she saw a dozen soldiers in yellow military uniforms piled up at the door, and they were also carrying big black spears, which were the group at the door of the Ping'an Restaurant that had rejected them in the morning.

The county magistrate's wife thought about it, so she turned back to the telegraph room, found the right time, and talked to the children.

Zhang Meixi is a person who came from an era of absolute peace and stability, she first suspected that the Zhou family's wave of bandits would be unfavorable to her family, and later found out that the Zhou family and her family were wolf bèi relations, and the alarm was lifted, so she felt that it was very rare to come to the county seat, so she refused to stay at home, and wanted to go shopping.

Let the eldest girl go out for a walk, which was originally the purpose of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou and her party today, and the entire Ping'an County was regarded by the Zhang family as their own backyard, so naturally there was nothing to worry about.

Mrs. Zhang let her girl go out and walk around at will, and Mrs. Zhou let her two sons bring people to follow, such an open and open-minded style would definitely be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to be decades earlier, but who made it now the Republic of China.

Shopping to the telegraph room in the county, Zhang Meixi must have gone in to find out, the telegraph room is actually very small, but she is very interested, and it is a careful look at the price description, and it is an example of studying the telegram text, and even the ticking sound came out of the telegraph room, she squinted her eyes and listened carefully, as if she was appreciating the most beautiful music.

The guys in the telegraph room saw that there were a few children, and they probably had no business to do, so they didn't deliberately solicit them, but the children were dressed decently and luxuriously, so they didn't dare to offend, and just let them visit at will.

The county magistrate's wife seemed to have a few words with a few children at random, and Zhang Meixi saw that this lady was very kind and spoke neatly, so she also responded politely and decently.

A few children in a line, just the little peach who looks most like a little girl is actually a little girl, and he speaks a little arrogantly:

"Big girl, what's so nice about this telegraph room, it's a place for people to stay, besides, the big telegraph room in our Zhang family's old house is more magnificent than this one, and the big girl will look the same when she goes home."

is such a simple sentence, it completely leaked the details, so that the county magistrate's wife's eyes flashed, and quickly recovered, and said in her heart, sure enough, this is still a nowhere to find the iron shoes without any effort.

Zhang Meixi heard Xiao Taozi say this, and remembered in a trance that the old mansion seemed to have this telegraph room, but the original owner didn't care, and he was not familiar with it when he first came, so he ignored it, and now he has to take a closer look.

Zhang Meixi said goodbye to Mrs. Heqi who accosted her, and was about to go out to go out for a walk elsewhere, Mrs. Heqi answered with a smile, I also just finished sending the report and was about to go out.

A few people went out, and next to the telegraph office was a large pharmacy and medical center, and there were some people at the door. Zhang Meixi and his entourage originally came out to hang out, so they also followed the boring visitors.

It turned out that the door was a rural village woman, this village woman brought a three or two-year-old fat boy, carried a basket of home-made pancakes to the county to sell, this pancake is a local specialty of food, that is, spread out with miscellaneous grains, made into a grinding plate large, cicada wings thin a kind of dry and tough multigrain cake, can be wrapped with green onions or any vegetables to eat, local families will make their own, so it is not easy to sell.

Today, the peasant woman's pancakes were only sold a few sheets, and the child with her suddenly fell ill and had a stomachache, so the peasant woman took the child to the hospital to see, and the hospital quickly relieved the child's pain and prescribed medicine.

In the end, the peasant woman said that if she didn't bring any money, she wanted to take a basket of pancakes to replace the medical expenses. The guys at the infirmary disagreed, so they started arguing.

The spectators next to him all talked about it, saying everything, and some said that it was the old rules that were good in the past, and they couldn't afford to pay for medical treatment, so they took something to pay off their debts. Some people objected, saying that this was a big pharmacy in the county, not a rural village, and it was a mess to get some chickens, ducks, fruits and vegetables to pay off debts.

Zhang Meixi saw that the child was young, and felt pity in her heart, so she asked Little Peach to give the peasant woman a dollar and bought the basket of pancakes.

The peasant woman paid for the medicine to the man, and only used three triangular points, and even most of the wealth, and she was very happy, and the pancakes were even carried in the basket, and she gave small peaches. The spectators dispersed.

Zhang Meixi said goodbye to the peasant woman and Mrs. Heqi, and walked forward again.

The county magistrate's wife saw that the opportunity was about to slip away, and she was willing, and came up to her again:

"It just so happens that we also have to buy pancakes at home, so let's share some with me." The county magistrate's wife was very precise, and only took out a dime to buy a few pancakes.

Zhang Meixi saw that this wife only needed a few sheets, and it was not easy to collect her money, so she gave her away in vain, and the county magistrate's wife only said thank you, so she picked out a few pancakes with her own hands, wrapped them in straw paper in the back basket, tied them with hemp rope, and let the mother-in-law who followed behind her carry them.

A few people continued to walk forward, and the county magistrate's wife said some special food in Ping'an County, because the county magistrate's wife is a foreigner, and she will naturally inquire about local food, and she has eaten and used it in the past two months.

If it was the original owner of the eldest girl, he would definitely disdain it, but Zhang Meixi came through a hundred years later, and she was especially interested in these characteristic local products.

So the two chatted a few words about food, and they were very speculative.

The county magistrate's wife took the opportunity to boast about the good cooking of her family's potted cabbage, which is a local specialty staple food that is famous and pancakes alongside, steamed with wheat flour, golden in color and fragrant.

This pancake and the like have to be said to be good, it really has some famous characteristics, suitable for all ages, and you can get it. If you want to talk about the price, it's just as worthless, it's all things that can buy one or two baskets for a dollar.

The county magistrate's wife said that she wanted to send Zhang Meixi a few pots to eat, Zhang Meixi was really hard to refuse, the world is the most particular about repaying the peach, sent pancakes, recovered the collapse of the pot, it was reasonable, so she had to report her name and address, and said that she was from the countryside, and she would return to the countryside in three or two days.

Mrs. Harmony immediately said that she would go back and let the cook do it, and send it to her in the evening, and the two said goodbye again, and Mrs. Harmony went happily.

Zhang Meixi didn't think much about it here, because the interaction with this kind wife was too smooth and natural.

Standing next to her, Momoko didn't dare to say it openly, but muttered secretly:

"The eldest girl doesn't eat what outsiders give, and when she sends it, she feeds it to the dog."

As soon as Zhou Shuhao, the third young master of the Zhou family, heard the wife talk about the collapse of the pot, a few golden and fragrant pots immediately popped up in his mind, and the full stomach that he had just eaten at noon was now hungry again.

Zhou Zhongkang, the second young master of the Zhou family, had a slight smile on his face, and thought silently in his heart, the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. I just don't know where that lady came from.
