Chapter 53: Preparing the Food

When Steward Tang left, Xu Lanyin wrapped some home-made snacks and gave them away. The siblings sent them outside the gate and stood at the door and said a few words. Steward Tang also cooperated with them, talking and laughing while patting Xu Lanzhou's shoulder with his hand, looking like they had an excellent relationship.

As soon as the carriage left, someone asked Xu Lanzhou, "Who are those two people, wearing silk clothes and sitting in a carriage." ”

"Oh, they are the soup housekeeper and housekeeper of the county lord's family, and her girl likes to eat the dim sum made by my eldest sister......"

Xu Lanzhou explained to the villagers that Xu Lanyin had returned home.

Qin Shi looked at the silver and said, "What kind of medicine is that worth so much money?" The county master is not stupid, he asked people to take so much silver, it must be that kind of medicine is good, and use the silver to plug our mouths. My mother felt that the medicine picker might really be an old miracle doctor, and the medicine he gave must not be ordinary. I knew that you should have left a little, but if you don't pay attention to what you get on your face in the future, there is also a medicine to cure it. ”

The Qin clan also thought of this, and regretted it.

Xu Lanyin said, "The county master has sent someone to ask for it, I won't send it out with the medicine box, there will be trouble in the future." Mother doesn't need to be heartbroken, there are many people who are too good to worry about, and we can't keep it. A little scar on the face of the poor is nothing, as long as there is food and drink, life is smooth. ”

She didn't tell them that she had hidden so many pills, and that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Qin nodded. She put away the silver ticket and said to Xu Lanyin, "Mother knows in her heart, you earned all this silver, and your mother has to plan for this family and your two younger brothers." Rest assured, in the future, my mother will prepare a rich dowry for you, so that you will not suffer, and this will also be made clear to your two younger brothers. ”

Before dinner, several groups of people came to the house, including Xu Lizheng's daughter-in-law Ma, all of whom asked Steward Tang about coming to his house, and even asked clearly what Steward Tang said.

These people said congratulations, their eyes were red with envy, and the Qin family also quietly sent a few pieces of candy from the county master's family, saying that it was a rare candy from the capital.

Ma Shi pursed his lips and said, "I heard that they also sent two pieces of silk to your family?" His eyes looked directly at Xu Lanyin, meaning that he should give her a few feet.

Xu Lanyin nodded in acknowledgement, but did not say anything to send her a few feet. For no reason, why give her a heavy gift.

Xu Lanyin always remembered that the original owner was made out of stealing pears. The original owner did something wrong, but because of a few pears to give her such a big hat, the family is not worthy of deep friendship. And they have been holding Gu Wangchen all the time, and they don't treat their own family as a relative, why do they still have a hot face and a cold butt.

The Qin family saw that the girl was reluctant to send it, so it was not easy to say much.

Ma saw that Xu Lan was not conspicuous, so he had to leave reluctantly.

A few days later, Xiaozao Village broke out another exciting news, Gu Juren was going to move to the county seat, and Gu Pozi showed everywhere that she was going to be a county seat.

Xu Lizheng knew that his village temple was small, and the Guju people would have to move out sooner or later. But he especially hopes that Gu Juren can leave after winning the Jinshi, so that Xiaozao Village will become famous again, and he will once again be the guest of honor of the county magistrate. Moreover, Gu Wangchen refused his family's proposal very shamelessly, and only let his family hang twenty acres of land in his name. Of Gu Wangchen's share of 100 mu, 60 mu was given to He Zhuangtou, and many clansmen of the Gu family also got a share of 20 mu.

Patriarch Xu also scolded Xu Lizheng rarely, saying that he couldn't figure out how many catties and taels he had, and Gu Wangchen didn't even recognize the people who had provided him for eight years, how could he give a face......

Xu Li was sulking at home, and he didn't spare no effort to help Gu Wangchen speak outside like before.

After dinner that day, Xu Lanyin went to the town to buy ingredients for dim sum, and happened to meet Gu Wangchen at the edge of the village, so he came back from the gentleman's house in the town.

Gu Wangchen pretended not to see Xu Lanyin, and looked straight ahead. When the two passed by, Xu Lanyin stood down.

She said, "Gu Juren, Miss Su has returned to Beijing, right?" ”

Gu Wangchen stood down, glanced at Xu Lanyin coldly, and said, "It's okay with you and me, why do you still care about Miss Su's whereabouts?" Raised his eyebrows again, "Could it be that Miss Xu has never forgotten me and regretted it?" ”

Xu Lan smiled and said, "Gu Juren is self-inflicted. I just wanted to remind you, don't be too complacent, you're just a dish for Miss Su. ”

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a spare tire, so she could only say that she prepared food.

"What do you mean by preparing?" Gu Wangchen didn't understand.

Xu Lanyin explained, "Preparing the dishes, it is the cold dishes that Miss Su put in the corner waiting for the substitute. When she has good food, she doesn't look at the food preparation. When she doesn't have good dishes and has no choice, she will think of preparing dishes. In the process of eating and preparing vegetables, if a better dish comes along, she will immediately vomit and eat the imported preparation food and choose the good dish instead. In other words, preparing food is not even chicken ribs, and there is no pity when discarding. Hehe, what I said is not accurate, the Guju people will walk and see. ”

After speaking, Xu Lanyin left in a hurry. Why let this pair of dog men and women stage one affectionate drama after another, first pick one in the middle, and plant a thorn in the heart of the ancient male partner.

Looking at Xu Lanyin's back, Gu Wangchen's face changed.

Gu Wangchen's mother and son moved to the county seat on September 16, and the broken yard of the family was sold with the help of the clansmen. Many families went to see them off, and Xu Lizheng also sent them to the entrance of the village with a smiling face.

Xu Lanyin's mood was very refreshing, and she finally didn't have to have anything to do with the annoying mother and son. She went to Xinghua Village to buy two catties of meat, and invited the old couple and the big house family to dinner in the evening to celebrate.

The next morning, Xu Lanyin went to the Qianjin Hall in the county seat with wild ginseng and Xu Lanzhou, who was excited. Qianjintang is a century-old name, with a high reputation, Tong Su is not bullied, and he is familiar with his own family. Selling ginseng there, they are relieved.

After the money shopkeeper carefully looked at the mountain ginseng, he solemnly invited them into the hut in the backyard, and called two pharmaceutical masters to take a closer look. A few people went out to discuss, and the money shopkeeper came back and said, "Miss Xu is lucky to have picked this kind of good goods." This ginseng is between 300 and 500 years, and our price is 280 taels of silver. ”

It was a little more than their ideal price, and the siblings readily agreed.

The shopkeeper gave them two silver bills of one hundred taels and one silver ingot of fifty taels, and silver ingots of thirty taels.

Xu Lanyin smiled again, "My orphans and widows, I still ask the money shopkeeper to keep the matter of selling ginseng a secret." ”

The money shopkeeper said with a smile, "Little lady Xu, don't worry, this is the rule of the trade, we will definitely keep it secret for the seller for this kind of big deal." ”

They sold other herbs, got eighty-six yuan, bought medicine for the Qin family and Xu Lanting, and went to buy some food. When passing by Yiju Restaurant, I saw that the teahouse next to it had been renamed "Yiming Tea Shop", and the name was the same as the teahouse of Gu Wangchen's family in the book.
