Chapter 299: A Lively Dining Table
The old fairy also said that he estimated that he had only a few years left, and he could only help the children lay a foundation, so that they could be flexible and strong, so that they would not have to enter the Taoist gate with such a cumbersome ceremony.
Ah Yuan is really happy at this time, so it's good, the children won't suffer too much, and the body will benefit for a lifetime, which is the highest requirement of being a mother.
As for the delicious food, there is no shortage of this in the county lord's mansion, the cake room is free for the old people to find food, the meat and vegetables on the stove are uninterrupted, and even the wild vegetables are packed with several baskets, and they can eat as much as they want!
The cook who came back from digging wild vegetables was very happy, they were all bitter children, and they were no strangers to this thing.
The noodles are like water, a grasp is sticky with one hand, and you need to desperately dip it in flour to roll it into a round agent, and you can't put more after wrapping it, and you can't put it more after wrapping it, so you can put it directly in the steamer and steam it.
The old fairy made a list of herbs, and Zhang Dashan personally went out to purchase them like a holy decree, and the era of children soaking in black medicine soup is coming.
Steward Xu waited for the old fairy to eat, watching him happily start to taste the newly baked cake, on the left hand side is a roasted crispy chicken called Hua, I don't know if you mix it up like this, do you think it is salty or sweet?
When it was time for lunch, the old fairy waved his hand and stopped eating, he was too full!
However, the steamed buns stuffed with shepherd's cabbage were served steamingly, abandoning the old fairy of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he couldn't abandon the temptation of wild vegetables.
Ah Yuan accompanied the three children to dinner, and the "little third" provoked as usual, now. The eldest brother has a heart. Know how to protect your bowl. And always be wary of that spoon.
In the end, the eyes of the heart could not keep up with the changes of the times, and the "little third" found that the defense above the eldest brother was very tight, and switched to attacking the next three sets.
The little feet of the black girl were cocked vigorously, and finally kicked on the elbow of the "little boss", which was the most sore place.
The results can be imagined.
"Little Boss" puffed his mouth again, just now he himself was trying to practice eating, this kick. He spilled the spoon and bowl again.
However, reality has long proved that no one will help you when you cry, and you can only bear the grievances yourself.
The "little boss" pushed his small bowl towards Cui'er, and muttered: "To-".
That's a lot of progress! The word "to" is very important, and only by understanding this word can life have the meaning of continuation.
Cui'er looked at the county lord with a worried face, and finally got a nod, so she quickly took the bowl out and washed it, and filled a steaming small bun with shepherd's cabbage. The mouth was torn open and divided into countless small pieces. Give it to the eldest young master to re-practice the ability to command the spoon.
The "little third" did not wait for the expected purpose, his expression was puzzled and unwilling, his body fell crooked on the baby chair, and the little foot girl attacked again from below.
What is commendable is that while doing these things, the little girl's mouth did not stop chewing, and Qing'er pretended not to see it at all, and when she should feed it again, she would feed it when she wanted.
The old fairy was very happy to watch, especially when the "little boss" organization fought back, the two little feet came and went, and they didn't delay eating, it was just - so talented!
On the other hand, the "little second", hiding behind the battle to watch the excitement, holding his own small bowl and eating violently, once again won the first place in the full place.
After eating the portion in the bowl, you can drink a glass of milk, and the "little second" has a white beard on his mouth, and the two villains are still fighting.
Facts once again prove that once the boy exerts his strength, the girl's body is not enough to see, the "little third" loses continuously, the foot is kicked sore, and suddenly "wow-" cried.
The "little boss" seemed a little surprised, shouldn't he have cried the most in the past? How did you change people this time?
Cui'er carefully peeked at the county lord's expression again, fortunately, as before, the mother ignored it, and how the two children changed the position of strength and weakness.
When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.
Today's ending is that the "little third" didn't eat enough and drank an extra glass of milk.
Removing the three children to wash and change clothes, the old Taoist priest laughed "hehe", pointed at Ah Yuan and shook his head: "Unexpectedly, in the dignified royal county lord's house, raising children is the same method as in the Taoist temple. You guys, but I don't know who can be more productive when they grow up? β
Ah Yuan was stunned for a moment, the way to raise children by himself is the same as in the Taoist temple? Don't you look like a loving mother? Could it be that other mothers really don't manage it like this?
It seems that Li Wei always lets Bao'er crawl around and stick to her body, and she is obedient to everything she wants; looks like a green willow, and she is also very fond of Yaya, Yaya knocked down the bowl, and she still smiled proudly, just like how much a child has grown up.
Is their way right? The management method inherited from the orphanage is the same as that of the Taoist temple, does that mean that his mother is incompetent and has not fulfilled her obligations?
My sister never wanted her children to enjoy the atmosphere of the orphanage, although she used to think that it was not bad.
There was some unspeakable sadness in Ah Yuan's voice, and his denial of himself was caused by the unintentional words of the old fairy.
"IβI didn't think about itβI had to make them do anything, just β healthy β happy β just that."
The old fairy shook the sleeves of his robe and swayed out, leaving Ah Yuan, who had always been proud like a peacock bird, with tears in his eyes.
A woman's emotions are sometimes uncontrollable, and an unintentional sentence may bring about an endless follow-up.
For example, at this moment, Old John stepped forward tremblingly, wanting to daoqian for the last time, but was waved by Ah Yuanyi: "You go to the woodworking workshop as an apprentice, I approve it, learn as you like." β
If you are in a bad mood, you can't vent with others casually, so you can only pick up the tomato seedlings in the garden by yourself, like a real old farmer, pull your trouser legs, loosen the soil and water the ridges in the fields.
Because it is still the second generation of tomato seedlings that have been cultivated, the seeds are too precious, and he is reluctant to throw away a few grains, so Ah Yuan left all the full and big seeds to the tenants, and made do with some "defective products" by himself.
In fact, when the fruit does not bear fruit, who can absolutely determine what kind of seed is the most suitable?
The soil of this garden is fertile, in fact, it is more difficult to raise flowers than to farm, I wonder if the original princess Izumishita would approve of his move to sell all the precious flowers in the garden at a price and change them to a tomato garden.
The dozens of zhang of silk cloth that was consumed has been lifted from the vegetable garden, and the maids have washed it cleanly, and the broken places have been sewn and repaired, so that it can be used again when the weather is cold.
Half a palm-high vegetable seedling is very beautiful, because the first time I did it myself, there is no basis for thinning, some three or two are tied together, and some are even five or six crowded.
In fact, the county lord's mansion not only needs a gardener to take care of the precious flowers in each garden, but also needs a farmer who knows how to farm in all seasons, and even, in the eyes of a person who has enjoyed starvation as a child, growing vegetables is far more practical and precious than growing flowers.
"Steward Xu, post a notice and go out, the county lord's mansion hires a farmer, and those with experience in growing vegetables are preferred."
The county lord, who was finally tired and sweaty, and his mood was relieved, came out of the vegetable garden and gave the first order.
Ah Wen went home, accompanied Ah Fu, who was still dull, and dragged old John, who was always probing his brain.
See, everyone has their own knots that they can't untie.
This dinner was eaten by a large number of people, and Zhang Dashan, as the children's "teacher and nephew", was allowed to serve on the table.
Bringing the elusive old immortals again, there was even an uninvited guest on the way, Lord Zhengdong, who had not appeared for a long time, and the team was a bit huge.
To tell the truth, the county lord's mansion has never had a feat of more than five adults at the table, and now seven adults are eating, three children are mischievous, three maids are feeding, and a group of servants are serving......
Steamed wild vegetables and mixed with smashed garlic paste are delicious dishes that are not rare for a fairy; Braised pork is suitable for those who feel that the stomach is not enough to fill the oil and water, old John poured the gravy into the rice and stirred, a big tablespoon of the thief who eats is happy, he is also lonely, there are so many people to accompany the meal, and the stomach can be eaten without food!
"Sister-in-law, you want to recruit a farmer, I happen to have the right candidate, you don't care, I asked him to take some time out every day to take care of your vegetable field, and promise not to disturb the life in the house." Little Arwen's eyes were grunting, even though the upper and lower contours of those eyes were still a little smaller.
"That's okay, we don't have to delay our own fields, just take the time to take care of it. You look at the salary, don't take it out of the public account, I looked at Steward Xu and was about to come to me to cry. Ah Yuan couldn't see this younger brother's tempting appearance, and as soon as his eyes rolled around, he would definitely have some unlucky idea, just to find some source for his Yulu.
"No problem! After my sister-in-law, just wait to eat wolf peaches! β
It's so rare, this kid is generous? Usually, I only get in and out.
Could it be that the way I educate my own children is incorrect, but it is suitable for my younger brothers and sisters?
Because of the large number of people at this meal, the three children sat in a row together, and the warmonger Song Haohao did not accept the lesson of noon, and once again openly put one foot on the foot of the "little boss", and with one hand, probed the cheeks of the "little second" next door. (To be continued......)
