Chapter Seventy-Three: Lu Xiaoyao is a nobleman
On the first day of moving to a new home, Zhao Guanlan invited two people back, one was Ermu's mother, and the other was the daughter-in-law of the Hu steward of Zuixianglou.
What surprised Lu Xiaoyao the most was the butcher who brought them pork.
"Tiger girl, long time no see!"
As soon as the butcher uncle in the town saw Lu Xiaoyao, he greeted him warmly, thanks to her, since he sold the tiger, his business has been getting better and better.
Uncle Butcher felt that Lu Xiaoyao was his nobleman, and as soon as he came to the county seat, he received their business, and sent two pigs here every day.
Uncle Butcher felt that his good days were coming, and he looked at Lu Xiaoyao's eyes with special enthusiasm.
Hearing a familiar title that he hadn't heard for a long time, Lu Xiaoyao also smiled and cordially called Uncle Butcher.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao hadn't forgotten himself, Uncle Butcher's eyes showed a gleam, and he asked, "Tiger girl, what are you doing with so much meat?" ”
When Zhao Guanlan found him and said that he would send two pigs here every day, he was surprised and wondered, what were they doing with so much meat?
Lu Xiaoyao smiled and pointed to the sausages drying in the corner of the yard in front of him, "Let's make sausages." ”
Although Uncle Butcher has only been in the county seat for two days, the name of the sausage is like thunder, and now when he heard Lu Xiaoyao, Uncle Butcher was surprised.
"You made the sausages?"
Lu Xiaoyao nodded.
Zhao Guanlan came over, saw that Lu Xiaoyao and the butcher were still talking, frowned slightly and said, "Daughter-in-law, is today's condiment ready?" ”
Hearing Zhao Guanlan say that he had condiments, Lu Xiaoyao didn't dare to talk to Uncle Butcher anymore, nodded with him, and went to match condiments.
The ingredients for making sausage and bacon are all matched by Lu Xiaoyao himself, and each condiment is just right, and it is configured according to the number of catties of meat, so the sausage and bacon made taste the same.
Ermu Niang and Steward Hu's daughter-in-law are responsible for cutting meat, and now there are a lot of pork and prey sent every day, so Zhao Guanlan had to invite two more.
The new ones invited to work were a pair of concubines next door to the shop before, and when they were in the shop, the pair of concubines were not bad, so Zhao Guanlan would choose them.
Within two days of moving, everyone was already on the right track, cutting meat for cutting meat, filling sausages for sausages, everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
During this period, the amount of goods in Zuixianglou has also increased, and Ye Zui sent people to say that Linxian Zuixianglou has also begun to sell sausages, and the response is good.
This is definitely good news, Lu Xiaoyao and Zhao Guanlan are very happy, and with a lot of silver coming in, Lu Xiaoyao is so happy that he is laughing when he sleeps at night.
Seeing that everything in the family is on the right track, the daughter-in-law is happy every day, and Zhao Guanlan is also very happy.
With the passage of time, a shift, it has come to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This morning, Zhao Guanlan still got up early as usual.
Today's holiday, everyone has a day off to rest, this year is the first time he and his daughter-in-law have spent the holiday together, Zhao Guanlan feels that it is necessary to celebrate.
Zhao Guanlan first went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast, and then went back to the room to call his daughter-in-law to eat.
Zhao Guanlan patiently called a few times, Lu Xiaoyao muttered a few words, and fell asleep again.
Every time he saw his daughter-in-law extremely tired, Zhao Guanlan felt guilty, but every time he got to that time, he couldn't control himself.
Sighing slightly, Zhao Guanlan lay down with Lu Xiaoyao for a while, and it wasn't until the time was almost up that Zhao Guanlan called softly again.
"Daughter-in-law, hurry up and get up, let's go shopping on the street for the holidays today."
Hearing about the festival, Lu Xiaoyao remembered in a daze that Zhao Cong missed yesterday and said that he wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes.
It is a food that is steamed with glutinous rice, beaten until it is viscous, then kneaded into small circles or long strips, fried in cooked oil until golden on both sides, and drizzled with brown sugar and sesame seeds.
Zhao Cong said that when their father and mother were alive, the family was poor, and they would make this kind of food every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but since their father and mother passed away, they have never eaten this kind of food.
During last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest aunt made several plates of glutinous rice cakes, but because Zhao Guanlan went into the mountains to hunt, they didn't even taste a bite.
Yesterday, when Zhao Cong talked about brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, his face was coveted and nostalgic, and Lu Xiaoyao did not miss the nostalgia in Zhao Guanlan's eyes.
Lu Xiaoyao turned over from the bed violently, and said anxiously, "Xianggong, what time is it?" Is it too late to make lunch now? ”
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's inquiry, Zhao Guanlan hooked his lips and smiled, and said dotingly, "Don't worry, it's still early, you get up to eat first, and when we eat, we will go out for a walk and come back to cook." ”
Everyone has worked hard during this time, especially Lu Xiaoyao, Zhao Guanlan feels sorry for her who is busy every day, and today is a good day for the holiday.
Hearing that it was still early, Lu Xiaoyao also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, today she had to make brown sugar with Zhao Guanlan and them to make up for the regrets in Zhao Guanlan's hearts.
Lu Xiaoyao quickly got up and washed, and when they went out, Zhao Cong and the others had already had breakfast, and they were all waiting for Lu Xiaoyao to go shopping together.
Lu Xiaoyao greeted them, and wanted to go out without breakfast, but was caught by Zhao Guanlan and entered the hall.
"Drink the chicken soup and eat something to cushion your stomach."
Zhao Guanlan opened his mouth seemingly gently, and there was something hidden in his tone that could not be refused.
Lu Xiaoyao stuck out his tongue at him, and then quickly drank soup and ate, after a tea time, Lu Xiaoyao was led by Zhao Guanlan, followed by the bouncing brothers and sisters, and the four of them walked on the street.
Today's county town is particularly lively, there are shouts everywhere, there are beautiful river lanterns, lanterns are sold, the uncle who is a sugar man shouts loudly, and after a while, there is a circle of children outside.
Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan also rushed over, the two of them helped Lu Xiaoyao work every day, and Lu Xiaoyao also gave them a reward, Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan's silver is afraid that it is more than the income of ordinary people for half a year.
Today's holiday, Lu Xiaoyao did not restrict them, let them buy whatever they wanted, eat whatever they wanted, and these two little ones had a lot of fun on the street.
Zhao Guanlan looked at the lively figures of his younger siblings, and was very moved, this kind of day, after the death of his father, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan lined up to be candy people here, Lu Xiaoyao told them, and then took Zhao Guanlan to the opposite shop to buy something.
This is a grain and oil shop, and it is the only place where you can buy glutinous rice.
Lu Xiaoyao told the boss how much glutinous rice he wanted to weigh, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Guanlan looking at him with burning eyes.
