Chapter 86: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
Left the Ma family father and son for dinner, and after eating and sending off the guests, Xue Lang walked around the courtyard and walked the dog by the way. The latest and fastest updates
Ma Sanbao is a person who knows the measure very well, advances and retreats to a certain extent, and is known for his kindness and righteousness, and has an excellent reputation here in Wei Zeguan. Looking at the intention of the Ma family's father and son today, they should be here to express their gratitude.
Although Xue Lang did it unintentionally, he also taught Ma Yuanliang a skill. Princess Pingyang happened to be about to implement this matter, Xue Lang is a civilian, it is impossible to let Xue Lang go to training, when employing people, the first choice is naturally Ma Yuanliang, who has been training his men for a month. Therefore, Ma Sanbao's thanks, Xue Lang did not feel sorry to accept it.
figured out the trick, and Xue Lang just threw it away. As the saying goes, people see people's hearts for a long time, and no one has good or bad people written on their faces, just look at it everywhere, and if you don't get together, you will get together, and if you don't get together, you will disperse.
The temperature gradually rises, the bare branches slowly add a little green, and the weeds on the edge of the ridge are growing almost one day at a time, but after two or three days, a layer of green weeds grows on the ridge. The fields are full of busy cultivators, spring is coming, spring ploughing is also coming!
Weizeguan is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the developed water system brings the convenience of farming. It coincides with spring ploughing, and men and women in the prime of life are working in the fields, while the elderly and children carry baskets and pick wild vegetables at the edge of the fields and at the foot of the mountain. The newly sown vegetables cannot be picked yet, and the most and cheapest of these days are wild vegetables that can be found everywhere.
After the sweet potatoes were sown, Xue Lang seemed to be relaxed, in addition to paying attention to the sweet potatoes and cabbage grown in the fields, he also went to the plantation and workshop to have a look.
The day before Hugh Mu, Her Royal Highness the princess sent someone to pass the word, and it was Duxue: "I've seen Lord Xue." โ
"Miss Twilight is exempt. What does Your Highness command? โ
Miss Dusk Xue said: "There is no order, tomorrow coincides with the rest of the bath, His Royal Highness will hold a banquet in Feiquan, invite all officials to attend, please Lord Xue Bo must be present." โ
"Okay, I know, please return to His Highness, Xue Lang will definitely arrive."
"Whoa."
It turned out that I was going to a spring outing for a banquet, but I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess will arrange drinks. Thinking of this, Xue Lang couldn't help but show a wicked smile-
In other words, Xue Lang saluted the spirits, so that Her Royal Highness the princess did not go to the camp for three days. It made Lady Liu work as a director of Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess for the past three days, and every time she saw Xue Lang, her eyes were full of reproach.
In this regard, Xue Lang replied with an innocent expression every time, he had already told Princess Pingyang that the wine was very strong, who made Her Royal Highness the princess so adventurous and brave to try!
Thinking of tomorrow's spring outing, Xue Lang called Ah Chen and instructed: "Ah Chen, you go out to see if there are any pigs killed in the nearby villages, buy some fresh pork and come back, and buy me two bamboos suitable for making fishing rods." โ
"Whoa."
Ah Chen took the order and left.
When it comes to spring outings, we must talk about food. It was the busy farming season, and it was the time to do heavy work, and there might be butchers selling meat in nearby villages, so Xue Lang asked Ah Chen to try his luck.
Xue Lang rummaged through his backpack and turned out the fishing line and hook -
Xue Lang's father was very fond of fishing, and on holidays, he often took a tent and a fishing rod to fish at the water's edge overnight. Although Xue Lang is not particularly hobby, but under the influence of his father, he will bring some fishing lines, fish hooks and other things when he goes out.
As for the fishing rod...... is not an enthusiast, he often looks for branches to replace on the spot, so that there are often tragedies where the line with a rod is dragged away by a fish, but Xue Lang is still happy to do it.
In the afternoon, Ah Chen came back with four pig's trotters, a pig's head, and a large piece of pork with bones and meat. Originally, a nearby landlord killed a fat pig for spring ploughing, and Ah Chen went to the door after hearing about it, and it happened that the family couldn't use up the pork, so they divided some of it.
Xue Lang came back from the workshop, and just saw the pig's trotters and pig's head handled by Xiuniang, made the seasoning and bagged it, and asked Xiuniang to make braised meat; took out the pork ribs on the large pieces of pork and taught Xiuniang to make sauce pork ribs; The meat is chopped into minced meat, fried into meatballs, and the remaining large pieces of pork skin are cleaned up, plucked out of the pig hair, cooked in the pot first, and then cut into small pieces, and fried in the vegetable oil of the croquettes.
So, this night, everyone fell asleep again in the seductive scent. Smelling this seductive fragrance, Xue Lang's expectations for the upcoming spring outing tomorrow have risen from the original five points to seven points.
After the spring outing is also going to be eaten, thinking about the fragrant meat, Xue Lang's morning food is just a bowl of somen noodles, Xiuniang probably thinks it is too vegetarian, and fried an egg.
After eating the noodles, Changjian loaded the food box and fishing rod into Wanfu's carriage, and Xue Lang went to call the dogs: "Steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, let's go, go out to play!" โ
Put the backpack on the back of the dogs, take their dog basin, and set offโ
In fact, Xue Lang still wanted to go by bicycle, but considering the impact of the problem, he could only grit his teeth and take a carriage.
The so-called Feiquan is actually a large waterfall group nearby, with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery, which is a rare and good place nearby. The people who were invited, the carriages were all gathered at the gate of the princess's mansion, and when Xue Lang took the buns and they went over, he saw Han Changshi, Dong Sima, Ma Sanbao father and son, Xiong Lang and others, and Her Royal Highness the princess, who was almost a little bit of grade, was invited.
After a while, Her Royal Highness the princess walked out in a plain men's suit, everyone was busy saluting, and Her Royal Highness the princess said: "You have worked hard for a long time, Pingyang invites you to Feiquan to drink and feast today, and I hope that you will stretch your hearts and drink happily." Please! โ
"Your Highness."
Her Royal Highness got into the carriage first, and then everyone got into the carriage, and the long convoy lined up and went out of the city.
Her Royal Highness the princess traveled, even if it was a light car, the movement was not small, although there were guards along the way, but it was not a disturbance to the people, at least, there was no civilians who were farming in the fields to bow down or anything.
Her Royal Highness the princess's motorcade passed by, and everyone just hugged their fists and saluted from afar, and then the convoy walked the convoy, and everyone took care of their own work.
Feiquan is some distance from the princess's mansion, and it took more than half an hour to arrive. Wei Zeguan is worthy of being a water country in the north, there are large areas of reeds along the way, how do others feel when they see this large area of reeds, Xue Lang doesn't know, anyway, when he sees it, he thinks of fat wild ducks, and after a while, you can come and pick up some wild duck eggs and go back, pickle a jar of salted duck eggs, which is also quite delicious.
When you arrive at Feiquan, the cool water vapor comes to your face, and the mountains and rocks are scattered, and the water flow seems to fall from the sky, forming a series of waterfalls. It turns out that the ancients also called the waterfall Feiquan, which is quite appropriate.
Her Royal Highness the princess is going to hold a banquet, so naturally someone has already come to arrange the venue, and it is a flat place with an excellent line of sight, and everyone needs to walk a distance after getting off the car.
Following the flow of water, along the mountain and stone road, I came to the open space for the banquet, and there were already miscellaneous servants who had placed a table and futon, and there were maids making tea in the water and steam.
"Master Xue is fascinated by the scenery, or ......"
Xiong Lang smiled at the goods and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
