Su Shen and Meng Zhen tacitly cooperated, and soon a particularly sumptuous lunch was served to the table by the two.

There are a total of 10 dishes prepared by Meng Zhen, including braised rabbit meat, spicy chicken, boiled fish fillet, sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried tofu rolls, fried radish balls, glutinous rice lotus root with rock sugar, scrambled eggs with zucchini, stir-fried green beans, and small rape with shiitake mushrooms.

The staple food is the leek box and millet gruel she made.

The smell of food filled the entire courtyard, and Hao Mengyun, Yan Zhenwu, and Xiao Meng Qi all narrowed their eyes with intoxication, took a deep breath, and then took a deep breath.

Little Meng Qi is very well-behaved, knowing that he is guarding filial piety and can't eat meat, so although his eyes can't help but drift towards the meat dishes, the food he asked Meng Zhen for is still all vegetarian dishes.

He asked Meng Zhen to give him radish balls for a while, asked Meng Zhen to give him tofu rolls for a while, and said that he wanted to eat rock sugar glutinous rice lotus root.

As for the zucchini scrambled eggs and mushroom rape that he deliberately bypassed, Meng Zhen would occasionally put a little bit of it on his resentful eyes.

"It smells so good! This is the life of a human being! After eating and drinking, Hao Mengyun leaned back in the rocking chair and hummed comfortably.

Meng Hao rolled her eyes while washing the dishes, "You are waiting to eat ready-made meals, what right do you have to complain about the bad food?" ”

Yan Zhenwu smiled honestly, "My cooking is really not delicious, don't blame your master for disliking it." ”

Meng Hao looked helpless, "You just spoil her, you see what you have spoiled her." ”

Yan Zhenwu smirked and continued to clean the spatula, basin and other things.

Hao Mengyun threw a rather smug little look at Meng Hao, and his provocation was beyond words.

Meng Zhen shook her head speechlessly.

"These are the two clothes I asked Aunt Guo next door to help Ah Qi make, now that the weather is getting colder, you remember to dress him more in the morning and evening."

Before leaving, Meng Zhen took the two muslin clothes to Yan Zhenwu, and asked him to add more clothes to little Meng Qi when it was cold.

"I'll bring the cotton clothes next time, as well as you and my master, I also asked Aunt Guo to prepare two muslin single clothes and two cotton clothes for each of you."

Rural people do not have such a strict "defense of men and women", Meng Zhen asked Aunt Guo to help make clothes, in addition to the remaining cloth and cotton, she will also very strongly subsidize Aunt Guo some tofu, brown sugar, millet and other fine food.

In order to earn more extra money to subsidize the family, Aunt Guo doesn't care who she makes this dress for.

Yan Zhenwu was a little embarrassed, "Let you break the bank." ”

Although he can cook food and clean up well, he is extremely untalented in cutting cloth and sewing clothes.

His big hands, which can wield a big knife, will immediately reveal their original clumsiness as soon as they pick up the embroidery needle.

In previous years, he and Hao Mengyun's four-season clothes were basically not bought by them in the ready-to-wear store, or Meng Zhen's father and mother asked them to carefully prepare for them.

Now that the Meng family's parents are no longer there, Yan Zhenwu originally thought that they would return to the ready-to-wear shop again this year, but he didn't expect Meng Zhen to prepare it for them a long time ago.

So I really don't blame him and Hao Mengyun for being a rare Meng family, they are really caring and kind.

"By the way, this is the title deed of the Zhuangzi I bought for you." Yan Zhenwu wiped his hands clean, and then took out a tightly wrapped small oiled paper bag from his arms.

Meng Hao couldn't help but laugh with a smile on her face, "Why do you still have this title deed with you?" ”

Yan Zhenwu looked serious, "This is a small two thousand taels of silver, where would I dare to go out if I put it at home." ”

What he didn't say was that he hadn't really been out of the house since he got the title deed - although after changing the red deed, even if the title deed was lost, he could go to the yamen to reapply for it, but it also needed to open the way in front of the white and heavy little silver ingots.

Meng Hao was moved and amused, "Let you worry about it." ”

Yan Zhenwu waved his hand, "This Zhuangzi has a total of 150 acres of upper fields, and there are ponds and wells on the edge of the fields, so it is very convenient to use water. In addition, this Zhuangzi also comes with a small farmhouse courtyard with two entrances, and the only fly in the ointment is that the houses in this small farmhouse courtyard have collapsed in half. ”

Meng Zhen: ...... So she bought an abandoned house? Not to mention, it feels pretty fresh.

Yan Zhenwu also thought that Meng Zhen was disgusted that the house was no longer inhabitable, and he explained to Meng Zhen, "The seller of the house did not collect money, which is a gift to us for nothing." Counting the hard-earned money for the tooth people and the tea expenses for the officials in the yamen, I only spent more than 1,830 taels on this Zhuangzi. ”

Meng Zhen helped her adoptive mother manage the house and keep the accounts, so she quickly found out that something was wrong, "Where did you get the extra two hundred taels?" And this Zhuangzi is too cheap, right? ”

Now that the new dynasty has just been established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, the land is indeed generally cheaper, but no matter how cheap it is, the best fields can still be sold for eleven taels and a half of an acre.

In addition, Yan Zhenwu bought her a piece of high-quality fields, like this kind of Zhuangzi, which has formed a scale and is extremely convenient for water, is undoubtedly a hot commodity at any time.

Yan Zhenwu smiled innocently, "Didn't I happen to know the tooth man with Zhuangzi in his hand, we have a good relationship, and he almost sold it to me at the reserve price." As for the two hundred taels of extra flowers......"

He didn't say any more in the middle of his words, but the look he looked at Hao Mengyun revealed the true owner of the more than two hundred taels of silver.

Meng Hao looked helpless, "Master, can't you save some silver for yourself?" ”

Hao Mengyun waved his hand at her, "It's not the first time you know that I can't save money. If you want me to say, instead of giving me so much money in one go, you should give me a few taels of silver every month for living expenses. ”

Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu are the kind of children of the rivers and lakes who have nothing to achieve in their hearts, and they always boast of being "informal", they spend money when they have it, and earn it when they don't have it, so they often go hungry and have a full meal.

But even so, they still helped the poor people the same and never showed kindness.

This is also why these two people are obviously capable, but they are not very wealthy.

And why they have an unimaginably fine network of relationships in Ninghai County.

"Okay, then I'll send you some silver taels every month from now on." Meng Hao made a compromise, anyway, even if there was no such thing, she would have to support Hao Mengyun for the rest of her life, who would let the other party be her mentor.

Yan Zhenwu smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, "Zhuangzi will take you to see after the autumn harvest, the crops in the field were originally said to be left to the original owner of Zhuangzi." ”

Meng Hao nodded slightly, "Then Uncle Lao Yan will have to worry a lot." ”

"Sister, next time, don't forget to bring Xiao Hei with you." Before eating, I heard Meng Zhen say that he had a little black milk dog, and Meng Qi has been thinking about it until now.

"Got it, next time Sister Ah will bring Xiao Hei on time." Touching his brother's head, Meng Zhen said goodbye to Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun.

Su Shen also followed her example and touched the little fat baby's little brain, and then sat on the wheel and waved his hand to Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun to say goodbye.
