Chapter 191: Into the Mountain

It was the first time Lin Jiu had seen this mechanism, and he was amazed, and the guys who came over with him to carry the grain were even more stunned by the ingenuity of this design. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Song Chen asked people to bring all the guys who came to the second courtyard to eat, let them stay there for one night, and then go back to Lily of the Valley City with Lin Jiu tomorrow.

After Lin Jiu ate, he drank tea with Song Chen and Su Miao, and while reporting the situation of the grain store, Lin Jiu asked, "Are the newly bought subordinates still satisfied?" "Baiyun Villa is too big, Lin Jiu will need a lot of people to cook, so soon after the villa was built, he asked someone to buy more than 20 people to come back, and handed them over to the housekeepers in Lily of the Valley City to teach the rules.

"There's a steward watching, no problem." Su Miao said, "However, if I transfer the steward over for too long, I'm afraid that it will delay the affairs in the house over there." "There is no superfluous person in Hengqing Hall, and the same is in the house that Lin Jin bought, and if one person is transferred from there, other people may not be busy.

"I'll watch over there first, don't worry." After a month or two, Lin Jiu still won't be too burdened, "Listen to Miss Su, what do you mean, are you planning to arrange another housekeeper?" He is also mentally prepared, Baiyun Villa can directly ask this steward to be a steward, and he has been thinking about which person he will bring up to be the steward after the matter is confirmed these days.

"Well, we brought back a person when we were in Haiguo earlier, and we temporarily left him in Hengqing Hall in Selangor City." Su Miao explained, "Some time ago, we sent a letter to Selangor City, to see if he wants to come here, there should be a response in the past two days." ”

"If Miss Su has someone to use, that's the best." Lin Jiu said, "The position of the big housekeeper is not trivial, and it is necessary to choose someone who is familiar and knows the roots." "Song Chen and Su Miao have their own considerations, so it's okay, if the current acting steward will go back to the house over there when the time comes, he won't have to have to worry about choosing someone again.

The person Su Miao said was Liufu.

That day, Su Miao and Song Chen discussed, although they often lived in Baiyun Villa, they could not be trapped here directly, so they could find the most reliable person to be the housekeeper, so they could go out and walk around at will.

Su Miao's first reaction was to find Liufu, originally when they came back from Haiguo, Liufu also planned to follow them, but it was only because they were going back to Tianjian Peak and Xiaojiabao that he temporarily went to Xuelan City.

But Song Chen asked: "Isn't Lin Yi looking for someone to say goodbye to Liufu?" If he is transferred at this time, will he not be so willing? ”

“…… That's right! Su Miao didn't think of this question for a while, "Then ask how the family affair is going, if it has been said, see if he and his wife are willing to come here?" ”

They usually walk around outside, and they don't have the habit of being a subordinate, except for Liufu, and there are no subordinates who are independent and familiar with them. In fact, there are not no dignitaries, whether it is Hengqing Hall, Tairu Villa, or even Xiaojiabao, they can ask them to send people over, but in this way, it will disrupt their original manpower arrangement, and Song Chen and Su Miao don't want to do this.

After thinking about it, Song Chen still agreed to Su Miao's proposal and wrote a letter to Lin Yi. Counting the days, the letter had already been received, and if he had replied, it should have been received here. I just don't know if something went wrong with the carrier pigeon in the middle of the way, or if Lukfook needs to think about a certain amount of time before replying......

On the second day, Lin Jiu took people down the mountain and went back to Lily of the Valley City. Song Chen and Su Miao were in the villa, and when they had nothing to do, Su Miao cleaned up their yards by themselves. Her yard does not grow ornamental flowers and grasses in other yards, just like her Jade Xuan in King Jing's mansion, she also opened a medicine garden here, planting some commonly used herbs that look beautiful. A small piece of everything was planted, and now the seeds have just been sown, and the yard looks bare, but after a while, the whole field of medicine will look different.

Not only Su Miao's yard, Song Chen also planned his yard exactly the same as Su Miao's yard, but he didn't know how to grow herbs, and he didn't want to fake his hands to others (the flower workers in Zhuangzi couldn't grow as well as Su Miao), and he didn't bother the two masters, Su Miao went to help Song Chen pick up his yard after finishing his yard.

The sun is warm in early spring, and even if it is almost noon, it still has no power. Despite this, Song Chen was still worried that Su Miao was too tired, and as soon as Su Miao did a little, he pulled her to the pavilion to drink tea: "Let's do it tomorrow!" ”

Su Miao thought about it anyway, there was nothing else to do in Zhuangzi for the time being, if it was all done today, she would indeed have to find something to do tomorrow, so she followed Song Chen's advice.

"Come in!" When Su Miao was drinking tea, she saw Xiaobai probing her brain at the door of the courtyard, so she beckoned to it. Previously, when she was sowing herb seeds in the yard, she was afraid that Xiaobai would run around and cause damage, so she once forbade it to enter the door.

After Xiaobai got permission, he entered Song Chen's courtyard, but when he walked, he was a lot more sven, and he changed his hurried appearance.

Su Miao felt awkward when she looked at it, and laughed at it: "Xiaobai, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you become a girl's family?" ”

Xiaobai didn't say a word, and cautiously passed through the place that was designated as a "forbidden area" before he pounced. It didn't dare to mess around in Song Chen's yard and break his things, and it was very likely that he would be punished for not having meat for a month, and the meat money would be used to compensate him!

Song Chen looked at Xiaobai's funny appearance and felt a little funny, awkward is awkward, compared to replanting after destroying the medicine garden, it is better to let Xiaobai suffer a little grievance.

"That's right, Ah Chen." Seeing Xiaobai, Su Miao remembered, it hadn't moved its muscles and bones for a long time, "Why don't you understand that we are going around this mountain?" The last time I came here, I was worried about whether it was suitable to build a house, and there are many forests on this mountain! Let Xiaobai go to see if there is any game, hunt some to taste, and let's go out for a walk! Have a spring outing! "Lannan has a natural geographical advantage, most of the local dishes are based on seafood, river fresh, etc., not only Baxian Fang, but also the purchase and sale in the house on weekdays, but also these priorities. Of course, chickens, ducks, geese, pork, etc., are not nothing, but these are all raised by farmers, and the taste is very different from those hunted directly from the mountain city. In the case of chickens, what you buy in the house is not as tender as the meat that Xiaobai hunted in the mountains. Even if it is used to make soup, the pheasant soup is more fragrant. It just so happens that there is a real mountain not far from Baiyun Mountain, and at this time, the cats and birds and beasts should all come out.

Su Miao wanted to go for a walk, and he was the only one in the plan, so Song Chen naturally agreed.

After the lunch break, Su Miao continued to sprinkle the flower beds in Song Chen's yard with herb seeds, Song Chen originally wanted to help, but he really didn't know anything about these things, if he wanted to help, if Xiaobai said first, he could be ranked second. So in the end, it was reduced to only watching quietly from the sidelines.

However, the herbs planted by Su Miao also belong to the coarse and coarse type, and after the seeds are sown, Su Miao sprinkles a layer of soil slightly, even if it is done.

Early the next morning, Xiaobai, who learned that he could go to the forest to spread wild, woke up Song Chen first, and then went with him to find Su Miao. If Su Miao was in a daze, it would be very dangerous to disturb her, unless she had skills like Song Chen, she could really be thrown out of the window casually. Xiaobai has tried this taste twice, and then he learned fine, if you want to call Su Miao, or call it another person, it is good to watch it from afar!

What is rare is that when Song Chen and Xiaobai arrived at Su Miao's yard, they found that she had already gotten up and was washing her face with water.

Song Chen frowned: "Miaomiao, the weather is still cold now, why don't you wait for someone to bring hot water?" ”

Su Miao wrung out the wet handkerchief, wiped the water droplets off her face, raised her face and smiled: "It's warm, I just came up from the well." ”

Song Chen reached out and touched it, and found that it was indeed a little warm, so he didn't speak. A man and a lion followed Su Miao into the house.

This time, when Song Chen designed the furniture for Su Miao's courtyard, he made a very exquisite dresser for Su Miao, with a wide tabletop, and then inlaid with a large copper mirror on the erected side, which can be illuminated when he is sitting and can still be illuminated when he is standing. However, this dresser, which is very practical for the average daughter's family, is not impractical, and it is different from what other people use. The wide table top was used by Su Miao to put the toolkit she usually carried with her when she went out, of course, she would still apply some skin care balm, and the only thing on the table that could be connected with her daughter's family Aimei was the two cans of skin care balm.

After Su Miao washed her face, she returned to the deliberate place, opened the jar of skin care balm, hooked some balm with her fingers, and put it in the palm of the other hand, and then the palm of the other hand came up, turned each other twice, and wiped it directly on her face. Su Miao saw Xiao Bai and Song Chen waiting quietly next to her, her eyes rolled, she hooked her fingers again, repeated the steps just now, and was about to greet Song Chen's face.

Song Chen originally wanted to refuse, so he didn't want to smear these daughters' fragrant powder, but after Su Miao's palm touched his cheek, it was really difficult for him to refuse the silky touch. Su Miao usually does a lot of work, especially when she was at Heavenly Sword Peak, and the large medicine garden was basically taken care of by her. However, her hands do not have the kind of rough traces that are often formed by rough work, and they have always been white and tender, slippery, which should have something to do with her experience in the care of medicinal herbs.

Su Miao rubbed Song Chen's face in a few clicks, then took a step back and looked at it, and nodded: "Hmm!" It's even more handsome! ”

Although he had just touched the water when he washed his face just now, and when he was blown by the water, Su Miao's hands were a little cold, but at this time, the skin on Song Chen's face that had been touched by Su Miao felt a burst of heat, Song Chen looked at Su Miao, his eyes were shining: "Can I go?" ”

“…… Don't you have breakfast first? Su Miao tilted her head and asked, it's a little strange to go to the forest hungry! Even if you can hunt something, it's a little greasy, so it's not suitable for breakfast......

“…… I mean, go to breakfast, and I'll have someone put it on my side. Song Chen's reaction was extremely fast, and he quickly brought the words back. In fact, he really didn't think about having breakfast just now, just thinking about going out with Su Miao quickly.

The cook of Baiyun Villa was also transferred from the house in Lily of the Valley City, and they had already agreed with Lin Jiu yesterday that the housekeeper would return it to him when the time came, but this cook stayed. Because the dishes she made really appealed to Song Chen and Su Miao's appetite, the taste of the mushrooms, vegetables and meat buns for breakfast could be comparable to Su Miao's. In addition, she can cook big dishes, light side dishes are also good, if it weren't for her daughter's family, she could go to a big restaurant to be a chef.

Before Song Chen and Su Miao went out, they specially explained a few words to Qian Ming (the steward), so as not to find anyone if there was any urgent matter that they needed to deal with.

There is still a lot of farmland on the half-slope and the bottom of Baiyun Mountain, which was originally planted by tenants for peasant households, but now that Baiyun Mountain has changed masters, those tenant farmers do not know how much the new landlord's rent is, so they have tenanted other fields to plant. These fields are empty at the moment, just two days before Qingming, it is time to plant seedlings, Qian Ming invited more than a dozen long-term workers, has been raising seedlings in a piece of the villa outside, at this time in the field to make preparations before planting. These long-term workers were all arranged to live in the courtyard of the first entry, and they also knew the two masters, Song Chen and Su Miao.

When Song Chen and Su Miao walked on the path to the forest, the people they met along the way who were working greeted them one after another. Seeing that they were preparing to enter the mountain, they all reminded them not to go too deep, there were large beasts inside.

Su Miao patted Xiaobai and put down her arrogance: "When Xiaobai catches the prey, I will add food to everyone!" ”

Su Miao guessed correctly, at this time, the mountain was lively, and when they entered, they happened to meet a hunter who was catching rabbits in a trap. Xiao Bai leaned over to see the excitement, which startled the hunter, his reaction was quite fast, and he immediately pulled his bow and arrow after falling in shock.

Fortunately, Xiaobai reacted quickly and immediately jumped to the side to avoid it. Then the second arrow followed, and at this time Song Chen and Su Miao had already followed, Song Chen directly caught the arrow, and Su Miao took Xiaobai to appease the family: "Don't be afraid, this is raised by my family, it doesn't hurt people!" ”

The Orion was shocked, and after looking at Song Chen and Su Miao slightly, his eyes were still staring at Xiao Bai, and he was very vigilant: "It's the first time for the two of you to enter this southern foot mountain, right?" There are many tigers in the mountains, even bears are blind! Although you have the help of this beast, you should be careful! ”

"Thanks for the reminder!" After Song Chen and the others thanked them, they continued to march inside. (To be continued.) )
