Chapter 296: Eating the Box
The harvest on Zhuangzi is getting better and better year by year, and this hand is also a little bigger, Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhu are not people who like luxury, but since they have earned, there is no need to hold on to it.
The clothes on the family are all expensive, so there is no need to say that the villain and Zheng Lingyi are wearing new clothes in different ways, and Jiang Sheng has begun to learn to walk, and he has prepared many pairs of shoes alone.
Wu punished the big piece in the winter, it cost a hundred taels of silver, not to mention the material, it was from the north side, and went outside to invite the master to make it carefully, and the big piece sent was also satisfying, and it looked heroic on Wu Zhi's body.
The master first praised the high cost of the clothes, and thanked Zheng Lingyi for looking up to her, and said that this was difficult to do, and intentionally or unintentionally exposed ten fingers full of blood.
When Zheng Lingyi was meanness to the Lu family in the past, she also suffered from the ten fingers and hearts, and when it came to the New Year's Day, she gave her salary and asked Luzhu to take an extra food box to the master.
The food box was specially prepared by Zheng Lingyi in the small kitchen, and was given to the housekeepers and big girls in the house and Zhuangzi.
On the medicine village guarded by Qiao Luo and Gan Song, Zheng Lingyi asked Lu Zhu to send five food boxes, and asked Qiao Luo to watch and distribute them to his capable subordinates.
As soon as the food box was opened, the people who got the reward all felt that the master was kind, and the food in it was all real, and there was no goods at all, there were four layers in total, and each layer was full.
The new bun cake in Yue Shi Lou is the most lively in Beijing recently, the puff pastry is set aside with lard, fried into layers of thin shells like cicada wings, and stuffed with full jam.
The jam is boiled when the fresh fruit is on the market, sweet and refreshing, Qiao Niang can't make that taste, Zheng Lingyi asked someone to order, and there are actually two in each food box.
The first person who opened the food box didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just a white-flour steamed bun, sugar slots and the like, and was coaxed to take it out and divide it, but he didn't expect it to be such a good thing.
Zhu Pozi had a thick skin, squeezed in front and grabbed two jujube kernels and apricot cakes one by one, stuffed them into Fen Niang's hand, and grabbed them again.
The food box was closed with a 'snap', and the man gritted his teeth and endured the pain and smiled: "It's enough, everyone, half of the family still needs to eat." ”
No matter how everyone flatters him or ridicules him for being stingy, the person who has won the reward will no longer want to share, it doesn't matter if you have a few words in your ear, the master is really generous! This good thing was taken away for nothing, and the family knew how heartwarming it would be!
When the other people who had won the reward saw this, they also hurried home.
As soon as the food box was taken away in her arms, Zhu Pozi took a sip, scolded a few words, and took back an apricot cake from Fen Niang's hand to eat.
Seeing that Fen Niang didn't speak, Zhu Pozi scolded again, spitting all over the place, Fen Niang didn't listen to a word, just thinking about the gossip she had just heard.
"The master is so generous to our Zhuangzi, and those who serve by her side are not living a fairy life?!"
When she first came to Zhuangzi, it was okay, and she also got the sprinkling and sweeping work on Zhuangzi, but after two days, she was suddenly transferred to the field to weed.
Fen Niang stayed up for a few days, but she couldn't survive it, so she begged Qiaoluo to go to her, saying that she didn't know what she had done wrong, and asked her to show her the way.
Qiao Luo was fiddling with the abacus beads, squinted his eyes, looked at her and said: "The mouth is very broken, don't talk about the master's right and wrong in your ears, are you stupid or think I'm stupid, this Zhuangzi up and down, except for your old lady, can there be people with the same heart as you?" Think you can't get it to me? ”
After speaking, he didn't bother to talk to her, so he let people take two arms and carry Fen Niang out.
Fen Niang knew that she was angry in her heart and couldn't hold back, and she scattered the master's privacy in the quiet house, but now she has been retributed, degraded again and again, her heart is uncomfortable like frying fire, but at this time, she saw Yuezhi quietly walking by with a food box.
"Sister Zhi, you also got a reward!?" Fen Niang was surprised, and shouted in a voice that almost broke her voice.
Everyone looked at Yuezhi, who was already a little hiding from people, and couldn't help blushing, holding a food box and frozen.
Originally, everyone only knew that she came down from the house, and seeing that Qiaoluo treated her well and got decent errands, they only thought that she had made a small mistake, or that the master had sent her down to help Qiaoluo.
But within a few days, as soon as Mrs. Zhu was called, the big guy knew again, Yuezhi couldn't be an aunt and asked the master to drive it down!
When they get along with Yuezhi again, there is a bit of contempt in their eyes when they speak. Yuezhi knew that they were looking down on themselves, but they couldn't explain, so they secretly hid in the room and shed tears several times.
Now this group of people is staring at their food box again, Yuezhi has no choice, and she is alone again, obviously unable to eat it.
"Moonbranch Girl!" Suddenly, a bright voice called her, a familiar man's voice.
Moonbranch crossed the crowd and saw a tall young man smiling at her.
She has a very important errand under her, that is, to keep track of the work and accounts of a few short-term workers, and at this time, people should be counted as wages.
This young man was the one that Qiao Luo had planned to introduce to Huan'er, surnamed Meng, and everyone called him Meng Dalang, but unfortunately Huan'er didn't look down on other people's families and didn't accumulate, and now he is still a single.
Yuezhi breathed a sigh of relief, walked towards him quickly, and said, "You wait for me here, I will take the account book and take you to the account room to get your salary." ”
The young man smiled even more happily, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and he was not too cold to get his teeth.
Yuezhi panicked inexplicably, took the food box and walked back to the room quickly, originally took the account book and went out, thought about it, took a few more pieces of oiled paper, and divided the snacks in the food box into several parts.
Several female workers in the same room are all getting along, and Yuezhi left one for them, and one of them was left in his share.
She hesitated for a moment, put it in the rest of the book, wrapped it firmly, and hid it in her jacket.
Meng Dalang didn't talk much when he worked on weekdays, but he was quite broken at Yuezhi, and asked her if she wanted anything during the New Year, if it was inconvenient to go into the city, he could help her take it.
"Our master has rewarded clothes and snacks, and I don't lack them." Yuezhi didn't look at Meng Dalang much when he spoke, and only walked with his head down.
The two reconciled accounts in the small single room outside the account room, saying that it was a reconciliation, Meng Dalang only nodded his head thoroughly, as if it was a confused head, and what Yuezhi said was what it was.
When he heard one place, Meng Dalang's head stopped nodding and said, "Eh, that's not right." This account was settled once before the winter solstice, and it was said that the head of the house gave a reward in advance, so that we could buy some gifts, and I remember that the few of us who worked were all paid silver from the head of the house. You didn't pay it back, did you? ”
Yuezhi listened to what he said clearly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her head, she remembered that Qiao Luo had mentioned it to her, but she was so busy that day that she turned her head and forgot about it.
If Meng Dalang wasn't the first to settle the bill today, others would never be as honest as him, the account book and the silver don't count, and it doesn't matter if Yuezhi fills the deficit by himself, but I'm afraid that I will lose Qiaoluo's trust in myself and lose this errand!
Yuezhi raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Dalang, and said sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me, I forgot." ”
Meng Dalang smiled 'hehe', as if he was very happy to help with this.
Yuezhi's face was a little burned, and he weighed the money and packed it for him in a cloth bag.
The dim sum in my arms is obviously cold, but it also seems to be burning, and I can't hold it in my arms, and if I don't take it out, I will burn the moon branch.
"Here, give it to you, it's the master's reward, or thank you."
Meng Dalang was stunned for a moment, his eyes were all gone, he stuffed the money and snacks into his arms, walked out a few steps and turned around to look at Yuezhi, Yuezhi made him look hot, and hurriedly lowered his head.
The powerful people in Zhuangzi all rewarded this food box, and the people in Wu's house had even more share.
Green Beads, Green Nong, and Pei'er each have a copy, and Qiuyue and Qiushuang have one each, and Mother Jin and Qiaoniang can't eat these things, so it's more appropriate to fold the silver money and reward it.
The food box is sufficient, how can the girl's family eat it alone, Lu Zhu thought about it, and wrapped half of the dim sum for Qin Erniang, not for her, but just thinking that she still has a daughter by her side.
Qin Erniang was a little embarrassed, her daughter was hungry now, but she didn't have the capital to open her belly to eat, and it was the time of the year and the New Year, and Qin Erniang couldn't shirk it.
Lu Nong's food box, after going out, disappeared, Lu Zhu thought that she must have given it to Huan'er, and didn't say anything.
The two of them were in front of Zheng Lingyi, and they had never been short-mouthed.
Everyone was happy to get the food box, but Pei'er, looking at the food box, looked a little depressed.
She also smiled in front of people, but there was always some haze in this smile.
Today's weather is good, and the autumn frost says to go to the sun to bask in the sun, and people are more energetic.
Pell felt that it made sense, and went to sit on the rockery with a food box, and while holding a bun and eating it, she thought, 'What else can I do in front of Madame now?' ’
She has been half-resting for the past year, but she has also been rewarded, and she is really unhappy.
But this crispy is really delicious, Pei'er eats sweet in her mouth, warm on her body, and her mood is better.
"Is it delicious?" Suddenly, a man's voice appeared out of nowhere, startling Pei'er.
She didn't see anyone around, and was suspecting that she had seen a ghost, when she suddenly saw a man in red and black clothes lying on the wall of the outer courtyard, looking at her.
"Zhen Huyuan, you also bask in the sun." Pei'er whispered a greeting, she usually gets along with women, because the man left her with a very fearful and bad impression, and she was scared, so her eyes hardly saw Wu Zhi's body.
In this way, when she dealt with the man, she was always a little at a loss, thinking about the question he just asked, so she picked up another bun cake, stretched out her hand and handed it over, and said, "There is another one, do you want to taste it?" ”
Zhen Xin was also not polite, turned over and went back and forth, and his feet did not touch the ground in the inner courtyard, so he took the wrapping cake in his hand.
The two basked in the sun and talked harmoniously for a while, and there are few such comfortable days in winter.
