Chapter 21: Barbecue

On the second day after the three girls came to Zhuangzi, Shao Yu couldn't wait to find the fishing equipment used by his father and brother to fish, and the three of them prepared to go fishing.

The fish he caught was ready to be grilled and eaten, and Shao Yu took out the barbecue grill that he had asked the blacksmith to make a few years ago and cleaned it, and today he was going to grill something in the gazebo to eat.

The interest of Green Pothos and Monroe was very high, and the three of them put on their hats and got everything ready to start fishing.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of pothos, Shao Yu said with a smile: "We are going to hold a fishing competition today, whoever catches more can eat more, so pothos you have to fish hard." ”

Luluo patted her chest and said, "Sister Yueniang, don't worry, I will, you just look at my performance." ”

Meng Luo is quiet, but she caught the first fish first, and the pothos sat for a while, but she couldn't sit still, picking lotus flowers for a while, picking leaves for a while, and putting the leaves on her head to say that she was a fisherman.

Pothos later simply put the fishing rod aside and went to catch the dragonfly. Shao Yu and Monroe caught six fish together, each fish was about half a catty, which was enough for them to eat.

At this time, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, and Shao Yu said: "Sister Mengluo, let's go back, the sun is strange and panicked this time, let's go back to the pavilion to rest." ”

Meng Luo suddenly made a silent movement at this time, then signaled Shao Yu to be quiet, and pointed to the water. Shao Yu saw that the fish under the rod was gone, and she immediately mentioned it nervously, and a fish was hooked. The strength of this fish is so big, it planted Monlo forward at once, Shao Yu hurriedly helped to pull the fishing rod to the shore, and a grass carp weighing a few catties was thrown ashore.

At this time, the green pothos also ran over to touch the grass carp, who knew that the grass carp seemed to be unwilling to be caught ashore, jumped up and flicked its tail upward, just on the little face of the green pothos.

Shao Yu and Meng Luo both laughed happily, and Lu Luo snorted angrily: "I'll eat you later, it will make you very angry, hum." ”

The maids and mother-in-law began to be busy killing fish, cleaning the internal organs, today Shao Yu also asked the mother-in-law in the kitchen to buy beef, the chicken is freshly killed, and also skewered green vegetables, wild mountain mushrooms, cucumbers, shiitake mushrooms, etc., meat and vegetables match.

The seasoning on the skewer is Shaoyu's exclusive secret recipe, and with this seasoning, these barbecues are delicious.

At the request of the pothos, she first tested the grass carp that bullied her, and after it was cooked, the pothos tasted it: it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious, and quickly said: "It's so fragrant, you can taste it too." ”

Monroe took a bite and praised it: "We eat fish either steamed or braised every day, and it is very delicious to eat it like this." ”

Each person ate a fish, and later roasted beef, chicken skewers, wild mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Everyone ate a round belly, and the pothos ate too much and yelled.

There were still a lot of left, so the maids and women ate them together.

The three girls returned to the attic, and after washing, Shao Yu changed into cool pajamas. This pajamas are designed by herself, and the purple tulle long skirt with leaf sleeves is directly pulled, which is also very convenient to wear.

Monroe and Luluo were dumbfounded, they never dared to wear such clothes, they always thought that such a dress was too shocking.

Shao Yu said with a smile: "It's very cool to wear like this, and there are no others, so it's okay." ”

Green pothos said with envy: "It's so beautiful, I really want to have a nightdress like this, but if my mother knows, she will definitely scold me again." ”

Shao Yu said: "What's so difficult about this, I just brought a few more pieces this time, you can see if you can wear them." ”

As he spoke, he took out two pieces from the cage: one blue and one moon white, and the sisters put them on to fit properly.

At this time, Cui'er came in and said in Shaoyu's ear: "Steward Xue from Zhuangzi came with a group of people and said that he had something to tell the girl. ”

Shao Yu frowned and said, "You let him wait in the flower hall, I'll be there in a while." ”

After Shaoyu finished dressing, he and Cui'er went down to the attic and out of the courtyard, and went through a corridor to the flower hall.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in the flower hall, and the leader was about his early thirties, wearing a blue scarf, medium build, and a brown robe, looking very elegant and elegant.

As soon as these people saw Shao Yu coming, they all saluted her, that is, they were not irritable, and their eyes were not casually looking, Shao Yu was secretly surprised.

Shao Yu said: "Steward Xue sit down and say, I don't know what Steward Xue is looking for me?" ”

Steward Xue hurriedly thanked him, but only sat on half of the chair and said: "Xue Mou came here this time for the affairs of Zhuangzi, I wonder if the girl can know how the harvest of this Zhuangzi is in a year?" How much rent is charged to tenants? How much is the income in a year? How many tenant farmers in this village depend on the village for their livelihood? ”

This series of questions stopped Shao Yu and hurriedly said, "I really don't know about this girl, and I ask Steward Xue to teach me." ”

The steward Xue stood up and saluted and said: "I can't talk about giving teaching, Xue told the truth that this Zhuangzi can make about 1,000 taels a year, and the rent collected from the tenants is 4/10, and there are 60 tenants in the Zhuangzi." ”

Shao Yu was taken aback after hearing this: "This is true, you have been in Zhuangzi for a few years, and I see that you are very raw." ”

Steward Xue said unhurriedly: "Xue has been coming to Zhuangzi for four years, and it was Old Man Pei who asked him to come to Zhuangzi to take care of the accounts, so the girl has never seen it." ”

I saw him say again: "Old Man Pei rarely asks about this Zhuangzi, and the girl and the young master don't come often, so there are many things that the girl doesn't know." ”

Shao Yu said: "But girl, I can't just listen to Xue Guan's words about you, after all, this Liu Zhuangtou is an old man who has been following his father." ”

Steward Xue said: "If the girl doesn't believe it, you can ask these tenants, you know how much rent they pay every year." ”

Shao Yu smiled: "In case these people have already colluded with you, what can I ask." ”

Then the manager Xue was a little angry and said: "That is the case, then when Xue is troublesome, then these tenants will be stiff, and the girl may not be able to stay alone." ”

After saying that, he took those people and threw off his sleeves.

Shao Yu instructed Xiao Yu at this time: "Xiao Wu go and invite Liu Zhuangtou to come over, girl, I have something to ask." ”

Shao Yu turned his head and asked Cui'er: "Do you think what Steward Xue said is credible?" ”

Cui'er shook her head and said, "The slave and maid can't say it clearly, I always feel a little strange, but I can't find anything strange for a while." ”

"When will the young master come over, these people are estimated to have trouble." Shao Yu said.

Cui'er replied: "If you don't come today, you will definitely arrive tomorrow." ”

After a while, Liu Zhuangtou came, this Liu Zhuangtou once walked with his father Pei Zhong, and was injured because he saved Pei Zhong, so his father asked him to retire in Zhuangzi.

Then Liu Zhuangtou hurriedly wanted to salute, and Shao Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu, sit down, didn't you torture me by saluting me?" ”

Liu Zhuangtou said, "Yes, girl." I wonder what the girl is looking for me for? ”

Shao Yu said: "Just now Steward Xue came and said some nonsense, I don't believe it, but I can't wronged Uncle Liu, so I invited you over." ”

Liu Zhuang pouted and said slowly: "I'm sorry big brother, what Steward Xue said is right." ”

At this time, Pei Shaoyu froze, not knowing how to answer.
