Food Garden.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Qian Yuan squatted in the corridor without any image, with his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the little sister and Wang who were chattering non-stop not far away.

"My sister was born in a military family and came from a poor countryside." Wang kept shaking his head and said: "It is said that the southeast is rich, it is really true, I am dazzled by it!" ”

"I've never seen so many ...... before" The little sister threw herself on Qian Yuan's shoulder, "Brother, brother......"

"Old hen, clucking." Qian Yuan turned around and scratched his little sister's nose, "If you like it, it's all left to you as a dowry." ”

"Congratulations, your brother loves you, and I'm afraid that if you get married in the future, you won't have more than ten miles of red makeup."

"It's a pity that my sister is already married, otherwise that part would be indispensable." Qian Yuan touched his chin, "If you don't go back and change the dowry list, my sister will have a little more confidence at home in the future?" ”

Qi Jimei, who had just come over, muttered: "Even if there is no dowry, the sister-in-law is full of confidence at home, how dare the eldest brother not listen to ......"

"Hahaha!"

The little sister smiled and leaned back and forth, and the Wang family couldn't help but laugh in the end, Qi Jiguang was originally a rake ear, but now it is even worse...... Because after the first battle of Linpingshan, Wang's appetite was lost and he often nauseated, so he asked a doctor to confirm that he was pregnant.

"Sister, I will still live in the food garden after the year, not for yourself, but also for the child in the belly." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "The maid, the cook, and the stable woman will all prepare it first, you just have to rest assured that the spare tire...... I happened to look at the treasury for my younger brother, and I was really afraid that a thief would come to the door. ”

The Wang family knew that the Qian family was going to Huizhou Mansion after the New Year, so he was not polite this time, nodded directly, and asked, "Little brother, have you received so much...... It's going to be okay, right? ”

"No, it won't." Qian Yuan stood up on his knees and stretched, "I haven't come out yet, what can happen?" ”

Although today's Qian Yuan is still just a small showman, he has a very high reputation in the southeast, after all, with several great victories, this name has spread all over the southeast, and it was degraded because of the fake military merits, but the subsequent battle of Linping Mountain made the name Qian Yuan shine in the southeast.

It is also the battle of Linping Mountain, so that Qian Yuan in Hangzhou people, gentry enjoy a very high status, from the day of escorting the prisoners into the city, the dining garden guests overflowed, on the grounds of the relocation of the Qian family to send a large number of gifts, gold, silver and jewelry is not much, but all kinds of exquisite furniture, celebrity calligraphy and painting are countless.

"What are you doing here?" Lu hurriedly walked over, "Speaking of a cook, Brother Yuan, you have to cook yourself, since you want to cook...... It's getting dark! ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qian Yuan hurriedly responded, when he was in Songjiang Mansion, he was still worried that his uncle Lu would not go to Huizhou, but he didn't expect that people couldn't wait.

The reason is very simple, his uncle Qian Zheng gave birth to a daughter in the concubine of Huizhou Mansion and wrote letters...... To the effect that he was destined to have no children, he had changed his concubine, and he would see if he could inherit a grandson from his nephew Qian Yuan in the future.

Wearing a simple mask, Qian Yuan entered the kitchen and put one foot on Zhang San's pouting buttocks, "Come to steal food again, be careful that the plate is not enough at night, chop off your paws to make up the number!" ”

"Hey, young master, are you willing to do it?" Zhang San pinched the braised pig's trotters in his hand and refused to let go.

"Phew!" Yang Wen on the side couldn't help but spit.

Qian Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, clapped his hands and asked, "Are the guards ready?" ”

"It's all ready, the wine and meat are enough, the strings have been tight for half a year, and these days are easy and relaxed." Yang Wen said with a smile: "The young master is generous, he rewarded the fabric to make new clothes, and sealed the New Year's red envelope, and those guys also said that they would come to the food garden to kowtow and thank you later." ”

Qian Yuan fell silent and smiled reluctantly: "Forget it, they all deserve it." ”

The less than 100 guards have killed and injured more than 10 people in half a year now, and for Qian Yuan, who was a criminal policeman in his previous life, every lost guard made him uncomfortable.

Drove out Zhang San and Yang Wen who came to steal food, Qian Yuan started to cook with vigor, most of the dishes had been prepared before, braised beef, braised pig's trotters, braised pig's ears, and stewed bacon with winter bamboo shoots can all be served directly, just stir-fry a few dishes.

Qian Yuan was busy here, and Qi Jiguang hurried back to the city over there, and he didn't bother to go home, so he went straight to the food garden, first went to visit his wife Wang, and thanked Lu and Tan for taking care of him, so that he had time to see the busy Qian Yuan.

"It's coming."

"I see that you are really not happy with the elders when cooking, you really like to cook!"

"Can you handle it?" Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, "There is a way to govern a big country like cooking a small fresh, I am touching the bypass!" ”

Qi Jiguang also rolled his eyes, "When will you leave?" ”

"Around the tenth day of the first month, I happened to spend the Lantern Festival with my uncle in Huizhou Mansion." Qian Yuan roared, "Xiaohuo, smoke two firewoods!" ”

Qi Jiguang leaned in and took a look, his nose twitched, "It's braised pork again...... It's a pity that Wei Xi is not there. ”

"Hahaha......" Qian Yuan couldn't help laughing, Wu Baipeng has dinner in the dining garden at night as long as he is free these days, and he must order a braised pork, but no matter how cheeky he is today, he doesn't have a face to come to the door, after all, it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

"By the way, you get along well with Brother Weixi?"

"Not bad." Qi Jiguang's eyes were a little complicated, in the past half a month, Hu Zongxian and Wu Baipeng's attitude towards him has improved greatly, all of which is naturally because of the young man in front of him who is wielding a rice spoon.

Although the Qian family is a big family, but Qian Yuan's lineage is ridiculed, and he does not pay attention to too many cumbersome etiquette during the New Year's Festival, Qian Yuan inherited the habits of his previous life, and simply made a big round table, and the two men and women served together.

Eight cold dishes, twelve hot stir-fries, six stews, plus two dim sum and a sweet soup, everyone feasted on it, Qi Jimei held the pig's trotters and ate a mouthful full of oil, Qi Jiguang took two bites but could only drop them under Wang's forced gaze, the little sister loves to eat fish, and Qian Yuan's chopsticks fall like rain and only care about eating winter bamboo shoots.

The maid on the side made tea, and everyone chatted slowly in groups of threes and twos, among which the most concerned was naturally the Wang family, the Lu family and the Tan family kept teaching relevant experience, the little sister pricked up her ears and listened carefully, while Qian Yuan and Qi Jiguang chatted about other things in a low voice.

"That formation diagram is really interesting." Qi Jiguang sighed and praised: "Especially the wolf tooth whire, it is really a stroke of genius!" ”

Qian Yuan blushed a little, and forced himself to calm down, "The formation drawn on the drawing may not be right, don't stick to it." ”

"Of course, I've selected some personal soldiers to practice these days, by the way, how about leaving Wang Yi to me?" Qi Jiguang was thirsty for talent, "The Japanese will not flow to Huizhou Mansion, it is enough to have Yang Wen and Zhang San with some guards, and besides, they are all waterways." ”

Qian Yuan hesitated, "I'll ask Wang Yi about this, if he wants, let him take two teams of guards to stay." ”

"That couldn't be better." Qi Jiguang was overjoyed, "Anyway, you will have to pass the Hangzhou Mansion in the township test next year, and you will take it away when the time comes." ”

"The Governor Yamen has ordered the implementation of a conscription system, how many people will you have?"

"A thousand people, after all, is just a guerrilla."

"Where to recruit troops?"

"Estimate the Yanzhou Mansion."

Qian Yuan touched his nose unconsciously, he was really a little scared.

Although Zhang Jing and Li Tianzhong followed history and were escorted to Beijing after the great victory, Hu Zongxian, who was supposed to be the governor of Zhejiang, became the prefect of Hangzhou, and Qian Yuan did not know that leaking the opportunity would not bring any unpredictable changes.

After hesitating for a while, Qian Yuan said in a low voice: "Brother Wei Xi is from Yiwu, you go and ask." ”

Qi Jiguang blinked and was about to ask carefully, when suddenly Yang Wen reported loudly outside the door.

"Young Master, Mr. Liangqing is here."

Qian Yuan Huoran got up, Wang Yin, as Hu Zongxian's most important staff, suddenly visited on Chinese New Year's Eve, could something big happen?
