After the fruit, Liu Yuxin's mouth was raised, and she rarely ate what she bought outside, and she always felt that the taste was wrong.

"Miss, Fengyang's apples are so sweet, better than Kyoto's red apples." The malt is not polite, clattering and biting, squinting her eyes, enjoying her face, her own young lady has always been generous in terms of eating, she follows the side, she can always be delicious, her favorite is the peach produced in Ruyang, big and sweet, juicy and much.

Liu Yuxin threw the apple core in the small bucket of garbage, thinking in her heart, she was in a hot summer, she always felt that it was not appetizing enough, she had been eating spicy food and was afraid of fire, she stayed in Kyoto for more than four years, and returned to Fengyang, but she was not accustomed to the water and soil.

"Miss, what do you want to eat, the slave maid went to the kitchen and said." The malt also finished eating the apple, and her eyes were aimed at the melon in the fruit bowl, the apple was too small, and she always felt that she hadn't tasted good yet, so it was gone, and she wanted to eat more, but her own young lady didn't move, and she was embarrassed, a slave maid, and she was so greedy as a servant.??

"Let's share the melons too." Liu Yuxin saw the expression of the malt girl, she knew what she was thinking, she must have felt that the apples were small enough to eat, looking at her eyes shining, it was a unique expression of foodies, and she felt that she was a fellow practitioner, but after so many years of training, her Taoism was relatively high, and she would not be seen.

"It's better to eat cold skin!" Liu Yuxin clapped her hands, how could she forget the snack of cold skin? In modern times, if you don't have an appetite, you will buy one. Later, I heard that the cool skin was washed out by the machine, and the sanitary condition could not be guaranteed, so she also bought a book to study for this purpose.

There are two ways to cool the skin, one is to wash the face, the advantage is that you can eat gluten, but you have to wait for a few hours, and the other is that you don't need to wash the face, you can get out of the pot immediately, for the sake of simplicity and convenience, Qingli decided to use the latter method.

Make cold skin and eat. In fact, there is no technical content. It is to mix flour and starch one-to-one, then stir well, spread it on a plate with thin oil on the bottom, and steam it for a while to get out of the pot. Cut into wide strips. Add the soybean sprouts blanched with water. Cucumber shreds and other ingredients are fine, if you like to eat spicy, put more chili oil, and Liu Yuxin has two cans of sesame paste in the space. When you eat it, add cold skin and stir it, and when you think about it, you can salivate.

"Wow, Miss, it's so simple!", Malt's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, "It's so simple, the slave can also make it, why don't you let the slave cook at night?" ”

"Eh, let Mama Zhao do it, you can study it on the side." Liu Yuxin looked at this excited maid with suspicion, and always felt that she was not very reliable. In fact, the cold skin can also be improved, made with mung bean flour, it becomes a cold powder, and then mixed with chili oil is as delicious, there is a very popular snack in modern times, especially in Qinghai, which is particularly popular, Liu Yuxin also likes it.

After discussing what to eat at night, Liu Yuxin felt comfortable, otherwise she would have to worry about her own food, so she asked the maids not to disturb, she lay on the bed by herself, and slept beautifully.

When he woke up, Mai came in to report that Steward Wang had returned from outside the house and had an urgent matter to see.

"Miss, the old slave listens to your orders, go to the tooth shop to inquire, there are only one or two households in the courtyard of the three entrances, and most of them are two, but there is one place, the old slave looks very suitable, it is a large courtyard of the five entrances."

Steward Wang wiped his sweat, the people of the tooth line gave the five-entry Zhuangzi, which was very close to Xiaofeng County, and took a carriage and horse back and forth for two hours, he went to visit it, and felt that it was very suitable, and there were two hundred acres of fertile land around, if it could be bought, the grain harvest after the autumn would be his own, which was very cost-effective.

"You go and see, what do you think? With such a good courtyard, why is the main family in a hurry to change hands? ”?

In less than two months, the grain in the field should be harvested, and it is not suitable to sell it now, and the fields generally have to wait until after the autumn harvest.

"It's not a rumor!"? Steward Wang sighed, he was listening to the people when he went out today, saying that Xuanyuan Kingdom was really coming this time, and he wanted to attack Pingyang City, if it was before, the people were accustomed to it, and they didn't care, Xuanyuan Kingdom had to provoke several times a year, and each time he was abused back to the nest by 300,000 troops under his own prince, but this time it was different, Muyang in the south has fallen, if Pingyang is enemy, then the Jin Kingdom is a pie squeezed by both ends, and there is more than auspicious.

Zhuang on the staff outside is fifty outside, in the early years to Fengyang to break through, in fact, home in the northwest, in recent years is planning to return to the hometown, a look at the signs are not right, immediately contact the tooth line, want to sell their own Zhuangzi and fields, helpless five into the big yard, the good field is twenty two acres, two hundred acres is four thousand taels, plus five into the yard also four thousand taels, a total of eight thousand taels, not a small amount.

"So that's the case."I just received a letter from Zhao Mingxuan last night, and the rumors spread to Fengyang today, no matter how you look at it, it is the result of the instigation of people with intentions, the purpose is to make the price of grain soar, so that the grain and grass in Pingyang will be more difficult to solve, and Xuanyuan's spies who stayed in the Jin Kingdom are really trying their best.

Liu Yuxin rubbed her hands, and there was an urge to rob it, this feeling would be addictive, no wonder Bai Ruochen was not short of silver and wanted to be a thief, she felt that she should also be a nickname, relying on the grain and grass in her own space, it was a little difficult to fill it in and provide material security for the 300,000 army.

Over there in Pingyang, the landlords who want to make a fortune by disaster, the grain depot is full, and those who are rich and unkind have no guilt in their hearts when they rob it, so much grain and grass, it is better to support the army, there is a country and a home, don't think so much.

"Miss, what do you see?"? Steward Wang hesitated for a moment, and saw that his young lady was distracted, thinking that he was not satisfied with the price, "Miss, in fact, the big courtyard with five entrances is still very magnificent, and the old slave will definitely not be able to take eight thousand taels if he is not in a hurry to sell." ”

"The price is easy to say, and the location should also be seen. Take it if it's appropriate. Liu Yuxin washed up, put on some moisturizing facial oil, and asked Du Juan to go to the village with her, back and forth for two hours, without delaying too long, she will definitely be able to come back before dark, since there is news, hurry up to take a look, before leaving Fengyang City to go to Xiaofeng County, this matter must be resolved.

The carriage headed all the way north. It took about an hour. This side is close to Xiaofeng County, that is, it is one step closer to Pingyang City, about this location. Liu Yuxin thinks it's better. The 200 acres of fields on this side are scattered all around. Wheat is planted in the field. The bullish trend is good, and the so-called fertile land is indeed worth the price.

The large courtyard of the five entrances. Green bricks and green tiles, Steward Wang stepped forward to call the door, and after a while, an old man opened the door and muttered, "Who, who's coming?" ”??

Liu Yuxin glanced inside, the people were busy, and some people also had baggage, it seems that as the Yaxing said, the owner of this Zhuangzi is in a hurry to sell because he wants to return to his hometown, if this is the case, the price may be reduced.

The old man rubbed his eyes, he was a little dazzled, and the young lady in front of him in a white dress looked like a fairy, if he hadn't seen her followed by a cold-faced maid, he would have thought that he had met an immortal in the mountain.

"I'm sorry for you to report it, my young lady wants to see Zhao Yuanwai and talk about Zhuangzi." Steward Wang was very upright and put a handful of copper in the old man's hand, and the old man suddenly disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving a few people standing in place awkwardly.

"Hehe, miss, countryman, I have never seen the world."? Steward Wang ran away when he saw his subordinates, touched his head, and said embarrassedly. But this family is really real, give the copper plate and immediately go to call someone, when he came in the morning, I didn't see this old man so enthusiastic.??

That is, in less than a quarter of an hour, I first heard a hearty laugh, and a moment later, a man in his fifties with a round belly strode out, and when he saw Liu Yuxin, he was stunned at first, and after a while, he smiled, "Miss is really a heavenly figure!" ”?

Liu Yuxin smiled, didn't detour, and went straight to the point, "Zhao Yuanwai, I came here this time to be interested in Zhuangzi, can you let the little girl visit?" ”??

"Of course you can, please Miss feel free to take a look."Zhao Yuanwai is a talkative person, and he talks a lot, and he has only been building Zhuangzi for a few years, and he also looks at the beautiful mountains and rivers here, and wants to enjoy it for a few years, who would have thought that Pingyang is not safe, it seems that there is a posture of war immediately, his family is not in Fengyang, and he doesn't want to take root here, so he wants to sell.??

A total of five into the big yard, the terrain is relatively high, are green bricks and green tiles, look very good, the courtyard wall is also higher than imagined, there is also a ditch under the courtyard wall, it can drain water in rainy days, and it can also prevent small thieves from entering.

Liu Yuxin entered a few rooms, found that the room was dry, well ventilated, and there was no rat burrow in the corner, only to learn that this was Zhao Yuanwai's own warehouse for grain and rice, this year's rain was abundant, and it looked like it was another bumper harvest year, if it wasn't for the movement in Pingyang, he would not be willing to sell it anyway.

Liu Yuxin walked around, there is a relatively large pond on the village, surrounded by green trees, the scenery is beautiful, she sat in the pavilion for a while, to the Wang housekeeper looks, this Zhuangzi she has a fancy to, it is bound to win, as for the price, let the Wang housekeeper to talk, but also to test his ability.

"Miss, Zhao Yuanwai is in a hurry to go, some tables, chairs, benches, beds and the like on the village must not be taken away, all given to us, in addition to twenty tenants, the harvest and the village on four or six points, they share forty percent, we are responsible for the grain tax." Steward Wang came over to introduce the basic situation, Zhao Yuanwai was very distressed, resolutely refused to reduce the price, his own side put forward a few requirements, that side could not be satisfied, and was anxious that he could not find a good buyer in a short time, and finally dropped to seven thousand five hundred taels, the field was easy to sell, and there were many people willing to sell, But with Zhuangzi, there were 3,500 taels more, and those people felt that it was not cost-effective.

Liu Yuxin acquiesced, this price is the final transaction price in her heart, if there is no rumor, Zhuangzi plus good land, at least worth 10,000 taels, others think that the treasury on the village is a burden, for her, is the most useful thing.

Without further ado, the two families immediately signed an agreement, agreeing to go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to go through the formalities, and the money for the formalities will also be borne by Zhao Yuanwai's family.

Steward Wang hesitated for a moment, and asked questions, generally after the change of the owner's family, the tenants were not at peace in their hearts, and they were afraid that the lord's family would take back the fields or oppress them in the coming year, so it was better to gather people over and explain it.

Liu Yuxin walked around the village with her hands behind her back, it was not as hot as in Kyoto, and there was a cool breeze blowing around, she lowered her head and looked at the turquoise pond water, there was her reflection in the water, Liu Yuxin waved a small handkerchief at the pond, and was in a very good mood.

The tenants are worried in their hearts, Zhao Yuanwai, the owner is very good, and now that he has heard that he has changed people, he feels empty, what if it is not according to the previous four or six points, or publish an article on the grain tax, in that case, each family will have some losses.

"Folks, don't worry, it turns out that what kind of contract you have with Zhao Yuanwai, it's still the same with me, but it's just a change of owner."? Liu Yuxin said a few words to appease the people, these tenants are nearby, in case something happens, there is a good foil, she is not familiar with this area, and there is no reason to change tenants, she told the tenants the truth that more work is more.

Several tenant representatives scrambled to speak, their backs were already wet with sweat, and their bare legs were bare, and they saw that they had rushed over from the ground to get the news, Qingli nodded, and asked everyone to go and get busy.

"Steward Wang, if I go back to Xiaofeng County, I will rely on you to come over from time to time." Things are done, on the way back to the house, Liu Yuxin and Steward Wang explain some follow-up things.

At this time, it was already the end of the unitary hour, the sky was gradually darkening, and the sky was dyed red by the burning clouds, Liu Yuxin lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the rice fields outside, and suddenly remembered an uplifting song -- on the field of hope.

I hope that this year will be smooth and rainy, and it will be a bumper harvest year, so that the soldiers of Muyang and Pingyang can be fed and clothed, drive these invaders back to their nests as soon as possible, and return a pure land to the Jin Kingdom. (To be continued......)
