Chapter 134: Basking in the Sun

When they arrived in Beiyuan, Lu Yishou and his wife were not there, only Lu Qian was alone in the courtyard basking in the sun, and when he saw Ye Xiaoyu, he didn't speak, but raised his eyes lazily.

"Aren't Uncle Lu and Madame Lu here?"

Ye Xiaoyu walked over, looked at Lu Qian and asked. She probably hasn't recovered from the blow of the woman in yellow yesterday, her face is pale and listless.

"Hmm. Went to Niutou Village......"

Lu Qian spoke lazily, no emotion could be heard in her voice, she was completely two people from before, it seemed that yesterday's incident hurt her deeply enough. Ye Xiaoyu remembered that even when Quanxiu Village was haunted last time, although Lu Qian was frightened, he was not as unrefreshed as this.

"Oh, by the way, I've brought some small cakes that I made myself, you can try them."

Since Lu Yishou and his wife are not there, this small cake is the same for Lu Qian to eat.

"Huh! Are you going to start slapping me? ”

Lu Qian reached out to take Ye Xiaoyu's small cake, raised her eyelids, and asked with a smile.

"Thinking too much, just with your death-like appearance, what is there worth talking about to me."

Ye Xiaoyu said angrily, moved a chair and sat next to Lu Qian, and also took a small cake to eat. I was in a hurry this morning, and I hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"Am I stupid?"

Lu Qian looked at the small cake in her hand and said softly, as if she was asking Ye Xiaoyu, and as if she was talking to herself.

"What do you say?!"

Ye Xiaoyu took a big bite of the cake and said, although the taste was a little worse than that in his previous life. But it's still delicious.

"Uncle Lu, will they be back today?"

Warmed by the sun and drowsy, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt that life was beautiful.

"I don't know, I might come back in the evening, and they don't bother to pay attention to me anyway."

Lu Qian replied with some anger, since she made such a fuss at Ling Yu's house on the eighth day of the new year, they had been strange to her, and they didn't help her to call Ling Yu back, no matter what she asked, they were all vetoed. Sometimes Lu Qian once wondered if her parents had run into ghosts. Otherwise, how could the attitude towards her become like this. You know, no matter what she said before, they would nod their heads in approval.

Ye Xiaoyu did not answer. I took out a small cake from the oiled paper bag and ate it. It seems that he is really hungry. As soon as I eat it, I can't stop.

Lu Qian's anger was angry, and Ye Xiaoyu knew that she was talking angry.

Lu Yishou and Jiang Ping love face so much, and pay attention to etiquette. Although Ye Xiaoyu didn't know what Lu Qian did at Ling Yu's house on the eighth day of the new year, it was estimated that it touched the bottom line of Lu Yishou and his wife, they probably wanted to frustrate Lu Qian's willfulness, and it would be fine in a few days, where would parents and children have an overnight feud.

"What is this thing called—little cake? That's what you gave Ling Yu that day, right? ”

Unwrapping the oiled paper wrapped outside, Lu Qian took the small cake and looked left and right.

"That's right. But you threw it away. ”

Ye Xiaoyu glared at her angrily, Lu Qian was embarrassed to say, the bag that day was also worth a lot of money, if you don't want to give it to Ling Yu yourself, just say it earlier, why bother to fall to the ground in front of everyone. Although she was thrown away by herself in the end, she was the initiator Lu Qian, right.

"Try it, it's delicious."

Seeing that Lu Qian mentioned Ling Yu, she looked lost again, Ye Xiaoyu added.

Ye Xiaoyu ate it with relish, and Lu Qian also took a bite, which was a taste she had never tasted before, sweet, with the taste of eggs and milk. Since Ye Xiaoyu quarreled with the woman in yellow in the capital yesterday, Lu Qian felt that in fact, Ye Xiaoyu is sometimes a little more tricky and likes to toss, but in fact, he is still a good person.

Sitting in the courtyard for almost noon, Lu Yishou and his wife still didn't come back, it seemed that they couldn't come back at noon, and Ye Xiaoyu had enough sun, so he left the remaining small cake for Lu Qian, and then stood up and prepared to go back to Nanyuan.

"Don't think about it so much, if you still want to eat, you can come to Nanyuan to get ......"

Dropping such a sentence, Ye Xiaoyu went back, although she knew that it was impossible for Lu Qian to take the initiative to come to Nanyuan's own house to get it.

"The kitchen is ready, you can eat it here!!"

Ye Xiaoyu walked out of the courtyard, and Lu Qian's words came from behind.

"Thanks, next time......"

Ye Xiaoyu shook her head and continued to walk forward.

Now that she has recruited someone, she has two meals a day, and Ye Xiaoyu's daily expenses have become a little bigger, although the rice is eaten by the Lu family, but the daily vegetables Ye Xiaoyu has taken money to Hong'er to buy it in the village since the time when Lu Yishou went south, because she really can't stand the crooked chirping of Liu Ma every time she goes to the kitchen to get vegetables, and now, Quanxiu Village says that it is not small, but some news always spreads very quickly, and the matter of recruiting people to come to the Lu family to do private work must have reached the ears of Liu Ma and these people. In the past, I could occasionally go to the kitchen to get some vegetables and fish, but now I have recruited an outsider to come in, and if I go to the kitchen to get vegetables like before, I will definitely be poked to death by Liu Ma's group of old mothers in the back.

Big families have big families, it stands to reason that these things in Lujiazhuang are all from the Lu family, with the permission of Lu Yishou, why can't Ye Xiaoyu go and get some, this is the Lu family's business, and it has nothing to do with Liu Ma and these people. But some people are so unpopular, in their hearts, seeing Ye Xiaoyu, a fatherless and motherless Huazi, just like this, "enjoyed" in the Lu family, they are already jealous, it just so happens that the ingredients and the like are in charge of them, at this time, they will not miss the opportunity to rely on their authority to be powerful in front of Ye Xiaoyu.

Lujiazhuang is so big, and Lu Yishou is so busy, Ye Xiaoyu can't go to Lu Yishou every time to complain, it doesn't matter if he complains, but in this way, he will become the person who provoked the incident, this kind of thing, after the mouth of Liu Ma and Lao Wu, I don't know what kind of vicious story it will become.

Ye Xiaoyu is still young, although she doesn't care much about other people's opinions, but this doesn't mean that word of mouth is not important. Therefore, as long as these people don't deceive people too much and violate her bottom line, she doesn't bother to deal with them. Anyway, now that I have some savings, it doesn't cost much to go out and buy some ingredients.

It was already noon, and when Hong'er saw Ye Xiaoyu coming back, she beckoned Liu Mei'er to come over for dinner. Although Ye Xiaoyu's attitude is very pleasant, it may be because of fear of life, Liu Meier is still a little restrained when she sees Ye Xiaoyu, but she is kind to Hong'er. But it's already a familiar rhythm.

Because I just ate a small cake in Beiyuan. Ye Xiaoyu was not hungry at all, she only ate half a bowl of rice and got off the table, such a move. Frightened, Hong'er thought she was sick. To know. Although Ye Xiaoyu is a girl, she usually eats one to two bowls of rice at noon. Maybe it's because she eats a lot that she grows so fast.

After eating, Hong'er washed the dishes in the small kitchen in the yard, and Liu Mei'er took a needle and thread and consciously began to make handkerchiefs. The Lu family is worthy of being a big family, she not only packs two meals a day here, but also from today's meals, the food is not much better than her uncle's house, you know, although she usually gets the money home on time every month, but because the family has more people and less land, it is a luxury to want to eat a bowl of complete white rice, not to mention fish and meat. She used to eat everything that she could only eat during the New Year's holidays today, and Ye Xiaoyu is also a good person, and her salary is high. She didn't dare to be idle for a moment, for fear that she would lose her job due to some omissions.

In early spring, the temperature was still very low, and after eating these meals every day, Ye Xiaoyu began to get a little bored. Not only is the transportation and communication underdeveloped, but also the variety of food is pitiful. It stands to reason that Yuejing is the capital of Daye Country, and the food types should be the most complete, but from my observation of going to Yuejing several times, the things eaten there are rice, various side dishes, fish, meat, etc., which are all home-cooked dishes, and the method is also very simple, like fish, which is generally steamed and the meat is also boiled, of course, the boiling here is not the same thing as the "boiled meat slices" that Ye Xiaoyu ate in the previous life, here is just cutting the meat into large pieces, putting it in a pot, adding some water, and sauce, some like stewed meat. Like braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, etc., there is no such thing at all. Like pastry food, there are only gnocchi and noodles, as well as flatbread, vermicelli, vermicelli, gouache, pho, rice noodles and other things, which are also pitiful.

Regarding fans, Ye Xiaoyu saw a store in the capital, the boss spoke with a very strange foreign accent, looking at the sign hanging in the store, the signature dish was "Gathering of Heroes", looking at the name of the dish, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't think of what it was, he was just waiting for Lu Qian and Ling Yu, because it was morning, and the business in the store was relatively light, Ye Xiaoyu chatted with the boss without a match. When I asked, I understood, it turned out that this "gathering of heroes" was talking about duck vermicelli soup, which contained duck soup, vermicelli, duck meat, duck zhen, duck intestines, duck liver, bean bubbles, duck blood, green vegetables, coriander, chives and other ingredients, but because the ingredients are relatively rare, and the fans have to buy from other places, the cost of this dish is quite high, so it is more expensive, because the price is high, so there are not many people who eat it, but it is other home-cooked dishes in the store, and the sales are very good.

It can be seen that there are really few types of food here, and in the case of such a low temperature, it would be great if you could make a hot pot to eat. Now that the charcoal is available, the ingredients can also be found, and the most important thing now is that Ye Xiaoyu needs a pot to place the ingredients and a wooden shelf.

Ye Xiaoyu is a man of action, just do what he says. took 3 pieces of white paper, glued them with paste, and drew a pot on it with a brush according to the ratio of 1:1, in order to be on the safe side, Ye Xiaoyu drew a partition in the middle of the pot, so that in the future, you can make a mandarin duck pot to meet everyone's taste. Then, Ye Xiaoyu took out another piece of white paper and drew a square square square table on it. In fact, the hot pot table is quite simple, that is, an opening in the middle of the ordinary table, and a layer is added at the bottom to put the charcoal basin, and it is enough. But to say that, but if you really want to paint, with Ye Xiaoyu's level of painting, it is not so easy, because the people here have never seen hot pot, if she wants to let the carpenter do it, at least she has to paint it three-dimensionally, so that people know what it is. But just for this three-dimensional feeling, Ye Xiaoyu painted for a whole afternoon, and threw away a pile of waste paper. (To be continued......)
