Sichuan Jiao understood, and continued to drink tea and chat with Master Sui.

Master Sui was very talkative, and was more worried about the drought in Tongcheng, and even hinted openly and secretly that the Hou Mansion in Zhennan called on the dignitaries and nobles in Yucheng to donate food and silver to Tongcheng.

Hua Jiao smiled: "Don't hide it from the master, I don't know anything about these things, if you need help, go back and let Wu Zhixian go to discuss with Hou Ye, after all, you and I are not the ones who can call the shots." ”

Even if it really comes to the step of donating food, it should be Wu Zhixian who asked Zhao Yan for it, not Pei Ze.

She will continue to pay attention to the drought in Tongcheng, and if necessary, she will naturally discuss with Pei Ze what to do when she sees the end.

She is not a person who is unkind to the rich, but she will no longer let people lead the nose and be wronged.

"Yes, yes, I just said that, don't take it to heart, madam." Master Sui was a little embarrassed, "Although I can't call the shots, I heard that many villages have sown two or three times just by sowing seeds, and the emergence of seedlings is also very low, if it doesn't rain again, there will really be no harvest this autumn, and the rations of tens of thousands of people in Tongcheng are a big problem." ”

Hua Jiao nodded and said, "Then we can only wait and see." ”

It's not yet March, and the autumn harvest is still a few months away, so if you really need relief, let's talk about it then!

Master Sui just sighed, paused, and continued: "Tongcheng is not as prosperous as Yucheng in a corner, although it is said that it depends on the sea to eat the sea, but there are only a few people who can go to the sea to fish, take Liulin Village on the outskirts of the city as an example, every family in their village weaves wicker baskets for a living, I heard that now every family has hundreds of wicker baskets, if Hou Ye can help find a buyer, it will also help a lot, and the next village Liuwang Village, their village relies on some tea fields to earn some oil and vinegar silver, but our local side, almost no tea drinks, Most of the tea people went to Yucheng to sell tea, and if Hou Ye could buy their tea, the villagers would be grateful. ”

"Master Sui, the Marquis of Zhennan is also a eater, does he have a cornucopia, where can he swallow so many willow baskets and tea?" The more you don't want to be the wronged leader, the more people want you to be the wronged leader...... You say it's not annoying!

The two of them talked about it for a while, until Da Chun and Xiao Chun came in, Hua Jiao got up to say goodbye, it was noon, Master Sui had to leave Hua Jiao to eat, Hua Jiao excused himself and said that he had to go to see the box, so he said that he took the two out of the yamen.

She never knew that a master could be so enthusiastic.

On the way, Huajiao asked Dachun Xiaochun: "Did you find anything?" ”

"I basically figured out the layout here, but there are officials on duty during the day, so it's inconvenient to start, so I'll talk about it at night." Da Chun looked at the pepper and instructed Xiao Chun, "You escort Mrs. back to Wutong Town, I'll stay and step on it, you go and come back quickly." ”

Koharu Michi is.

I haven't been to Tongcheng for a long time, Huajiao looked at the bustling crowd, remembered the last time I came to Tongcheng with Pei Ze, and now I think about it like the things in my previous life.

The weather was sunny and not cold.

The three of them did not go to the private room, but sat down in the lobby.

This Zangzi noodle restaurant has a good business, although it has passed the meal, but it is still full of people, and the dishes are also served quickly, the noodles with the same width are soaked in the rich soup with the noodles, and under the backdrop of the bright green small coriander, it is more and more fragrant, even Dachun Xiaochun can't help but move his index finger, a large bowl of Zangzi noodles is swept away, and when the pepper gets up to check out, he hears a familiar voice behind him whispering: "I'm short on time, I have to go back, you make a long story short." ”

"Okay, Master Liang, please."

Hua Jiao quietly turned his head, and just caught a glimpse of Liang Yu following a person in an indigo robe to the private room, didn't he say that Liang Yu had just come from the capital? How come there are still acquaintances here?

Besides, at this time, just after dinner, Liang Yu came over to drink tea with someone?

Thinking of this, she gave Da Chun a look, Da Chun understood, and followed without changing his face, Hua Jiao took Xiao Chun to the carriage and waited, and after about a cup of tea, Da Chun came out of the noodle shop: "Madam, those two people did not stay to eat noodles, but went to the backyard to talk, Liang Yu said, he can return to the capital in about three months, and then the man said that he should report truthfully, and they also mentioned the internal guard." ”

"Guards?" Hua Jiao was very puzzled, "What internal guard?" ”

"Madam, the internal guard should be someone close to the emperor." Oharu Road.

Sichuan pepper: "......"

No, the emperor brought Liang Yu over to spy on Pei Ze?

That's too suspicious, isn't it?

When he returned to Mingxiang Building, Huajiao asked Xu You: "Aren't there many people at noon?" ”

"It's quite a lot, most of the palace dishes ordered." Xu You replied truthfully, "Master is well prepared, but he is not busy. ”

Hua Jiao looked around and asked, "Where is your master?" ”

"Oh, my master went to Nanshi to buy ingredients, and he said that there was a lack of shiitake mushrooms in the kitchen, and many dishes had to be used." Xu You admired Liang Yu very much, Liang Yu was obviously a person from the imperial dining room, but he came to such a small town to be a cook, he felt that Liang Yu used a knife to kill chickens.

These days, the master and apprentice have gotten along more and more tacitly.

Xu You's court dishes are gradually getting a little better.

Sichuan pepper didn't ask again.

In the evening, the Gu family came to ask for the news of Brother An'er again, and the Wang family sighed: "It's rare that the mother of the family is worried, and she hasn't come back yet, the third child has gone to Yucheng, and I don't know how things have been done. ”

"Then let's wait!" Gu Shi actually came for Pei Ze's matter, but in the face of Wang's family, she couldn't ask, sat down for a while, and went to Mingxiang Building to find Sichuan pepper, Sichuan Jiao was busy in front of the counter, Gu had to give up, simply don't ask, such a thing, or don't ask.

When it closed, Liang Yu hadn't left yet, Xu You was still cleaning up the kitchen with the old juncture, and after settling the accounts, he walked into the stove room, walked to the basket of short and fat mushrooms, took a closer look, and said to Liang Yu with a smile: "This mushroom is very good to buy today?" Where did you buy it?

"This is not ours here, this is the mushroom from Tongcheng." Liang Yumian did not change his color and said, "Today, I originally wanted to go to Nanshi to buy mushrooms, but I didn't want to take a fancy to Nanshi, so I could only go to Tongcheng near and far, and I bought these mushrooms in Tongcheng." ”

"You ran so far to buy mushrooms?" Hua Jiao smiled and said approvingly, "Chef Liang's selection of ingredients is really strict. ”

"The palace cuisine is originally more elaborate than the Jianghu cuisine." Liang Yu explained, "First of all, the ingredients must be selected well, otherwise no matter how superb the cooking skills are, they will not be able to make the top taste." ”
