053, back to the village
Because he still has patrol tasks on his body, even if Gu Tingfeng is unhappy in his heart, he can't continue to delay time in this town.
Before leaving, he once again used all kinds of generous benefits to lure Liu Jiaojiao to go with him, but Liu Jiaojiao just didn't agree, so she had no choice but to leave a piece of jade pendant, so that if she went to the capital in the future, she would go to a merchant to find a shopkeeper with this jade pendant, and the shopkeeper would naturally contact him.
Of course, if you encounter trouble in the capital, you can also use this jade pendant to find the shopkeeper, as long as you don't offend too many high-ranking and powerful people, basically any trouble can be settled.
Liu Jiaojiao accepted it happily, because she had a hunch that she might really go to the capital one day. As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, maybe there will really be a place for the third prince to help at that time.
The more connections, the better, and she doesn't refuse to come.
The next day, with a large amount of food prepared by Liu Jiaojiao, Gu Tingfeng reluctantly left the town with the guards.
The third prince is gone, the case of the traffickers is solved, and Zhou Yuanwai is also settled, Liu Jun feels that the big stone that has been hovering in his heart for many days is finally gone.
Lei Zhong also breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't agree with Liu Jiaojiao from the beginning to approach the third prince, that is a dignified prince, he can kill his head and steal his family at will, how dare ordinary people approach easily? But Liu Jiaojiao had a resolute opinion, and he also knew that his granddaughter had an idea, so he had to ask the innkeeper for help as she said.
I didn't expect this recognized granddaughter to be not only proficient in medicinal herbs, but also proficient in cooking, although I don't know where she learned that the third prince was in the Yuelai Inn, and I don't know how she knew that the third prince was good food, and she really got the favor of the third prince with that strange cooking skills.
His granddaughter is so powerful and smart that he doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
After the task was completed, Liu Jiaojiao naturally couldn't stay in the inn kitchen anymore, and after bargaining with the innkeeper for half an hour, she left a few delicious dishes and took away five hundred taels of silver.
Those delicacies were sold directly in the form of buyouts, and the value of them must be more than five hundred taels according to reason, after all, those are delicacies that have never been released and are praised even by the picky third prince, but because the boss has a relationship with Lei Zhong, and he has been very cooperative with her in the past few days, she directly gave a friendly price.
The innkeeper is a knowledgeable person, so he is naturally very grateful, and has repeatedly said that the inn will always give her a six-fold discount, and if there is a food recipe to sell, you must come to him, he will definitely give a good price.
Liu Jiaojiao smiled and agreed.
Money can't be earned, but some friendships can be maintained, and who knows when they will be able to use it?
In the afternoon, he was going back to the village, and Lei Zhong took the Liu Jun brothers and sisters back to his house for a hearty lunch.
The chef is naturally not Liu Jiaojiao, Lei Zhong feels sorry for her tossing in the kitchen for several days, where is she willing to accept the baptism of fireworks? It just so happens that the chef skill given by the system has expired, and now she can only make something that can be eaten at most when she is asked to cook, and it is too far from food, so she is happy to eat ready-made.
Since ancient times, there must be good wine in banquets, and although this is a family banquet, it is no exception.
Liu Jiaojiao was too young and a girl, so she was asked not to touch the wine, and Lei Zhong pulled Liu Jun to drink a lot.
After three rounds of drinking, Lei Zhong's face was slightly red, looking at Liu Jiaojiao, his eyes were full of praise and pride, and he said warmly: "God treats me well, with this granddaughter, what more can I ask for!" ”
Liu Jun's face was full of pride, and although his face was as usual after drinking, he obviously talked a lot, and echoed: "My sister is the smartest and best in the world!" ”
was praised by the two closest people in turn, even if Liu Jiaojiao had always been thick-skinned, she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved her hand and said modestly: "General, third in the world." ”
"What does the world mean?"
"Why the third?"
The two questions were thrown at the same time, the corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched, finished the ball, and said that it was smooth, the humor of modern people was estimated to be incomprehensible to the ancients, and it was not easy to explain, so she changed the topic and said: "Grandpa, brother, what kind of wine are you drinking?" It smells like peach blossoms. ”
Lei Zhong was already a little drunk, and was immediately led astray by success, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, your nose is really spiritual, this wine is called peach blossom brewing, which is made of peach blossoms picked in spring and snow water in winter, although it is not a famous wine, but because it is not easy to make, it is not common on the market, and I also got three altars by chance." ”
Liu Jun frowned and said, "It's too sweet, like sugar water, could it be that there is sugar in it?" ”
"Haha, that's because the peach blossom petals are pickled in sugar, so the wine will be sweet, but although this wine tastes sweet, it has a strong stamina, so I don't let Jiaojiao drink it." Lei Zhong explained.
Liu Jiaojiao understood, isn't it similar to modern fruit wine, it tastes sweet and silky, but it has great stamina, although she really wants to taste the fruit wine of this era, but after thinking about it, she still gave up this idea.
Although she can't talk about a thousand glasses of not getting drunk in modern times, she has also practiced a lot of alcohol for many years, but at this moment, this small body is afraid that she has never touched wine, and it will be troublesome if she is drunk and says something that should not be said.
Lei Zhong and Liu Jun, you have a cup of me, but they drank a jar full of peach blossom brew, and when the two brothers and sisters got into the carriage, Lei Zhong was already drunk and did not come to deliver it, while Liu Jun looked fine, his eyes were shining, but the words in his mouth were non-stop, and he knew that he was not lightly drunk at a glance.
"Jiaojiao, I will definitely buy you a very big house in the future, bigger than Lei Dong's house."
"Jiaojiao, I must buy you a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the future, and you change the pattern belt every day."
"Jiaojiao, I will definitely earn a lot of silver in the future, so that you can be served by someone and do whatever you want."
……
Along the way, the drunk Liu Jun kept making promises to Liu Jiaojiao, eager to dig out her heart and lungs, and Liu Jiaojiao was moved and a little crying and laughing at the same time.
knew that the little brother would become chatter if he drank too much, so she would not let him drink so much.
It's not terrible to chat, it's terrible to talk too much, because he doesn't just keep talking, but also keeps asking you "Did you hear" and "right" and the like, you have to answer them one by one, otherwise you will keep asking, and if you answer too quickly, you will say that you are perfunctory, and if you answer slowly, you will keep asking, which is simply a big head.
Liu Jiaojiao felt that all the patience in this life was used now, and if it was someone else, she would definitely be stunned directly to prevent future troubles.
It was the guy from the pharmacy who was driving the car, and when he heard the movement in the carriage, he couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that the relationship between the brother and sister was really good.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the old mansion, Liu Jun was already asleep with no alcohol, so the man directly picked him up and sent him back to the room, and then politely refused the broken silver handed over by Liu Jiaojiao, and immediately drove the carriage back to the pharmacy to pay the errand.
After not going home for a few days, the furniture and the floor will inevitably fall dust, and after covering the sleeping Liu Jun with the quilt, Liu Jiaojiao began to clean the house.
Before leaving, she was afraid that the Liu family would come to make trouble, so she deliberately asked the village chief to help and asked him to arrange for people to come to the old house a few times a day, and the village chief naturally readily agreed. Now it seems that the village chief has kept his promise, otherwise if the Liu family knew that there was no one at home, the shameless person of the Qin family would definitely take the opportunity to move things.
Just after wiping the table and chairs and preparing to sweep the floor, there was a knock on the door, and then Liu Jiaojiao heard the male duck voice of the calf who was in the period of voice change: "Jiaojiao, Brother Liu Jun, are you back?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly put down the broom and went to open the door, and sure enough, she saw the calf and the willow root, who were standing at the door.
"You've got news pretty fast, we've just arrived home, and you'll know." Liu Jiaojiao smiled and let them in.
The calf smiled back and replied, "The carriage is so loud that as soon as you entered the village, someone saw it and came to tell me, so I came at once with the roots." ”
"What? Haven't worked for a few days and have itchy hands? Looking for a job? Liu Jiaojiao quipped.
Before the calf could reply, Willow Root smiled and said, "We haven't eaten enough for a few days, so we want to have dinner." ”
Maverick: "......" is a foodie he doesn't know.
Liu Jiaojiao laughed, although this body was the youngest, she still couldn't help standing on tiptoe, raised her hand and softened the hair of the willow root, this second-class child is so funny.
Liu Shugen hurriedly dodged and said: "Jiaojiao, my mother said that a man's head and a woman's waist can't be touched." ”
Liu Jiaojiao deliberately showed a fierce face and threatened: "But I just want to touch it, what should I do?" Do you give it or not? ”
Considering her amazing force value, Willow Root gave up almost quickly, took two steps forward with his head drooping, stretched his head over, and said in a sullen voice: "Give." ”
"Hahahaha, tree roots, you're so much fun!" Liu Jiaojiao didn't touch his head again, but covered her stomach and laughed.
Willow Root raised his head, looking dazed, how could he be so funny? What did he do?
He looked at the calf suspiciously, and the calf gave him an angry look, and then pulled him towards the hall.
This brother was chosen by himself, no matter how stupid or stupid he is, he has to help, who made him a righteous person?
The little cow specially brought the willow roots to help, knowing that the two of them must have accumulated a lot of things after being away from home for several days, he is a heavy promise, since he promised to do three months of hard labor, then he can't do it for a day less.
Liu Jiaojiao just took a fancy to him, so she had the intention of cultivating him, but although the calf man was shrewd, it was a pity that he was illiterate, which gave her a little headache.
After helping to finish all the work at home, Liu Jiaojiao asked Xiao Niu: "Do you want to read and write?" ”
The calf's eyes lit up at first, then turned dim, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not reading material." ”
Liu Shugen stuffed the food that Liu Jiaojiao brought from the town into his mouth, and defended him: "Brother Niu is smart, he can learn everything as soon as he learns, but the private school is too expensive, so he didn't study." ”
So that's the case, Liu Jiaojiao nodded clearly. She knew that the situation of the calf's family was indeed poor and white, and she really couldn't afford the high tuition fees.
Glancing at the calf who was secretly sad, Liu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Little calf, if I say that I will send you to study and read, but you have to sign a ten-year deed of sale with me, are you willing?" ”
"What?" The calf looked up sharply with a look of surprise.
