Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Treat
With the signature of the head of the Fan family, even if the Lu family and the Qian family are reluctant, they will not be the first bird.
With the three largest families in the county as leaders, there is nothing to fear from other small families.
Yuan Baoer spent nearly half a month returning to the household department with more than a dozen account books.
When the chief saw her return, he was surprised for a moment, and then smiled again.
"Lord Yuan is really capable, it only took such a short time to clean up the problem of Shen Er, in the end, it is a talented young man, and the future of this household still depends on the talent of adults."
Yuan Bao'er pursed her lips slightly, feeling strange in her heart, her ears keenly caught a little sound, she hurriedly arched her hand, and her face was solemn.
"But I dare not accept this praise from my lord. I am young and shallow, and if it were not for the grace of God, I am afraid that I would not be able to lick the position of record. ”
"Fuyang County Mo said that the county order, that is, several family heads are also serious and have passed the election of officials, in terms of qualifications and academic ability, they are all several times stronger than me."
"When I went, I was also apprehensive, and I was afraid that I would delay my errand."
"I don't want Lord Li and several family heads to treat me kindly, I was surprised, and after careful questioning, I realized that it was the kindness of my boss."
Yuan Bao'er arched her hand, "I just heard the adult's praise so much, Yuan felt ashamed, all because of this, it was all the work of the boss, Yuan would never dare to be greedy." ”
The corner of the clothes outside the door quietly left.
The main person was angry, but there was no way out, so he could only smile stiffly, indicating that the adults had a good relationship and were the blessings of his subordinates. ”
After finishing the errand, Yuan Baoer can take three days off.
Yuan Baoer first sent an invitation letter to the edict before returning home.
Mama Wang and Meng Shi had already prepared hot soup and hot water, and cleaned themselves up comfortably, she wanted to see the seedlings, and in half a month, the seedlings had grown a lot, and the ears of wheat, which were still green, had gradually changed to yellow.
Cheng Li finished his errand and rushed back at noon, and saw that Yuan Bao'er's face was ruddy, not only did she not lose weight, but she also gained weight, so she was relieved.
"How's the errand?"
Yuan Bao'er grinned, "It's done, and the soldiers are bloodless." ”
Cheng Li sighed, "Okay, I've grown." ”
Yuan Bao'er scratched her head weakly and whispered, "Actually, it's not all my credit. ”
Cheng Li raised his eyebrows, but Yuan Baoer didn't want to say more.
After all, Gu Sheng slipped out on official business.
The tolerance for days is that I didn't go down to the ground to measure it personally, but when I walked outside, both mentally and physically, I was nervous.
When she got home, she was full of food and drink, and Yuan Baoer went to sleep.
This sleep was enough until three poles of the next day, and then I got up lazy.
After lunch, she called Shang Cuixin and Meng Shi to go to the market to buy.
Meng Shi used to come over, and he was familiar with the vendors, and he got affordable prices.
Yuan Baoer walked all the way, bought all the way, and filled two baskets without stopping.
"Lady, these are enough," Meng couldn't help but remind on the side.
Yuan Bao'er hummed and said, "I'll do more, someone will come tomorrow." ”
Meng Shi was a little surprised and didn't dare to say anything more.
bought two more baskets, and Yuan Baoer went home.
Mama Wang and the two little ones of the Zhang family were surprised when they saw each other, "What kind of big day is it today?" ”
Mama Wang was surprised, wondering if she had missed any days.
Yuan Bao'er grinned, "No, I'm going to have a treat." ”
"Who, please?"
Mama Wang was stunned for a moment, turned her head and followed Yuan Bao'er into the kitchen, "Are they adults?" Do you want to prepare alcohol? ”
Yuan Bao'er remembered this way, pondering what she had forgotten.
"Just buy two jars of pear blossoms."
No one in the house drinks alcohol, so they don't always have these things.
Mama Wang asked Meng to buy it again, and turned her face to see Yuan Bao'er dragging some fruit branches out.
"Lady, what are you going to bake here?"
Mama Wang saw her in the shed that she had erected earlier, so she hurriedly came over and asked.
Yuan Bao'er finished the shelf and clapped her hands, "Bacon." ”
She had long discovered that Gu Sheng liked to eat meat, especially dry meat with a heavy taste or thick oil and water, or meatloaf that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Breads can be made and eaten at any time, but jerky takes a bit of work.
Yuan Baoer kneaded the meat with salt, mixed it with her own unique spices and marinated it for half a day, and then put it on the shelf to smoke.
The faint scent of fruit trees drifted over the courtyard with the curling smoke and dust.
When Cheng Li came back from duty, he smelled the aroma of meat mixed with it.
"This tastes good, the fruit branches at this time are sweet, just in the flesh," Cheng Li said leisurely, catching a glimpse of the white pear blossoms, secretly happy.
"Bao'er is so caring, she actually prepared all the wine."
Cui Xin, who knew the inside story, grinned at him and disappeared.
Cheng Li didn't care, they were all children, and there were no rules or regulations.
He happily went to the study, and when he waited for dinner, he said: "The humidity in Kyoto is better than in other courtyards, and the dried meat must be dried for a few days before it can taste good." ”
Yuan Bao'er sighed and ate vegetables.
"The pear blossom white taste is light, and the jerky is excellent, but the jerky can't be eaten for a while, so it's a little early to buy it at this time."
Yuan Bao'er took a moment in her hand, swallowed the food in her mouth, and whispered: "I forgot to say that, I invited Master Gu and the mouse, and I will come over for dinner tomorrow." ”
"Who?"
Cheng Li's voice was slightly high.
Yuan Bao'er knew that something was wrong when she heard it, and hurriedly put down her chopsticks, "Gu Sheng." ”
Seeing that Cheng Li was about to change his face, Yuan Bao'er hurriedly said: "This errand went so smoothly because of Lord Gu's care." ”
"I saw that Master Gu seemed to like our food, so I invited him over."
Cheng Li put down his chopsticks and grimaced, "What kind of position do you have?" ”
Yuan Bao'er nodded, "I am doing right, sitting up straight, and there is nothing that I can't say to others." ”
"Grandfather, you know and teach me, and I will be rewarded for a thousand years of kindness."
"I can be regarded as having won the favor of Lord Gu, and I should always invite him to repay him."
"Really?"
Cheng Li asked with a straight face.
Yuan Bao'er hurriedly nodded, "It's more real than real gold." ”
Cheng Li snorted and continued to eat.
Yuan Baoer knew that this level had passed.
After eating, Yuan Baoer finalized a few side dishes and main dishes.
The main dish was brought by herself, and the side dishes and main dishes were handed over to Mama Wang and Meng.
On the same day, Yuan Baoer got up early and boiled and stewed.
Gu Sheng and the mouse had just arrived at the door when they smelled the fragrance inside.
"It's so fragrant," a single person, and the saliva of the rat who can only eat outside is about to come down.
"Breath," Gu Sheng glanced at him coldly, and his dismount was obviously a little faster.
Slapped the door open, and Yuan Baoer greeted him with a smile.
Without waiting for greetings, Cheng Li hurried back.
With her grandfather there, Yuan Bao'er immediately retreated to the back, listening to her grandfather's greetings with Gu Sheng.
The mouse hid behind and quietly gave her a look.
Yuan Bao'er understood, looked back, and went to the kitchen.
It didn't take long for the rat to smell it.
"Oh, that's a lot," the mouse sighed, looking at the dishes on the stove shelf.
