Chapter 40: The Incident
was amazed when he saw Yuan Lingchen coming in from outside.
"Chan'er, come and take a look."
Yuan Lingchen already knew what was inside, so he was not surprised.
There is also a reason why she decided to take white noodles.
Although she was just a slave in her previous life, with the rise of the Murong family in the second half of her life, she also came over with brocade clothes and jade food.
Even in the days after Murong's death, Lu Xu never treated her badly.
I've already raised one of her mouths.
After so many days here, although she gradually got used to it, she couldn't help but want to taste it when there were really good things.
There were some concerns before, but when the Chen family found her and handed over the power of the housekeeper to her.
She knew her chance had come.
"Grandmother, from today onwards, let me cook the food as well."
When Chen heard this, where should he not be: "Such a fine white flour, it is a waste of good things to make it for me, you can do it, and my grandmother can rest assured." ”
This is true, she has only seen such things as white noodles, and she has never eaten them, let alone how to make them, but she has heard that some people in the city make noodles into soup cakes and steamed buns.
That's just heard, if she really wants to start doing it, she doesn't dare, like this kind of delicate thing, if it is accidentally ruined, it will be struck by lightning.
"These things will be common in the future, and there is no need to enshrine them as heavenly things, just treat them as ordinary things."
Having said that, only when she really saw the white noodles in the bag, she was also shocked in her heart, even in the palace in her previous life, she had never seen such a fine white face.
It feels smooth and greasy, there is no rough feeling at all, and there are no impurities in it, only a white piece.
It's very different from the white face I saw before.
At this moment, her heart also gradually itched, her cooking skills had not been used for a long time, and now her grandfather's doubts were dispelled, and there were things that did not need to be hidden, and she also treated her mouth badly.
Thinking so, he opened another bag.
Inside, instead of white flour, it was crystal clear rice.
"Hey, isn't this bag white flour?" Yuan Jinan only opened one bag in the city, thinking that both bags were white noodles, but he didn't want the other bag to be not.
Yuan Lingchen reached into the bag and grabbed a handful of rice to look at it carefully.
It's not the same as what she used to eat, it's whiter and brighter.
The words of the ear system also sounded at the right time: "This is a new type of rice over there, which has undergone the most reasonable threshing treatment, and has been listed as an excellent product in terms of taste and nutrition." ”
……
When Yuan Baozhu came in, Chen and Yuan Jin'an had already left, and the unique fragrance of rice was wafting in the pot.
She twitched her nose slightly, and happily threw herself on the stove: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, what are you going to eat today?" ”
Yuan Baozhu, a person who should have been heartbroken when he was just retired, has really unexpectedly behaved these days, not only is he not sad, but he seems to have shaken off a burden, and the whole person's spirit is different.
Now she is undoubtedly much more alive, and there are more smiles on her face.
Yuan Lingchen poked his head out from behind the stove: "Sister-in-law, eat rice and rice for lunch, and eat soup cakes for night." ”
"Rice? Not corn? And soup cakes? "The ingot beads are already overjoyed, and I don't know what to do.
Although they planted rice in their fields, because of the high price of rice, after paying taxes and rents, they would often exchange rice for corn.
Although Yuan Baozhu is favored, he has never eaten rice a few times since he was a child.
It's still white rice without a little wild vegetables and grains.
This fragrance is naturally more attractive, and the ingot beads have been so hungry that they can't walk anymore.
Yuan Lingchen simply chatted with her without a match: "Sister-in-law, have the silkworm seeds hatched?" ”
"It hatched in the morning, and this time the silkworm seeds hatched more than in previous years, and the next two months will be busy. I'm also worried that there aren't enough mulberry leaves in the mulberry forest. ”
"What if there are really not enough mulberry leaves?"
"Some people's silkworm seeds hatch less, so they have excess mulberry leaves, if they are good, they can ask for some, if they don't, they can only buy them with money."
"If the mulberry leaves are really not enough, then redeem that acre of land." Yuan Lingchen opened his mouth while withdrawing the fire, and the tone of his voice was as relaxed as discussing what to eat for lunch.
"There are indeed a few mulberry trees planted on the edge of that acre of field, but where did we get so much money?"
"Don't worry about the money, I've got it here."
"Didn't you mean that the merchant gave it? That's not good, my mother said that the money was to help the merchant receive the goods. ”
"I said yes, naturally yes, you don't believe me?"
"How could I not believe you? My mother gave you the right to take care of the house, so naturally what you say is what. Yuan Baozhu spoke a little absent-mindedly, and most of her mind was attracted by the rice in the pot.
"Hey, you say, why wasn't the rice so fragrant in the past?"
Chen happened to enter the door, and when he heard her words, he immediately said: "You fool, how can we compare with this when we grow it in that field?" ”
Yuan Baozhu grinned and didn't care about that.
Here, Yuan Lingchen had already said to the Chen family: "Grandmother, I heard my sister-in-law say that the mulberry leaves are not enough, so it is better to redeem the acres of land." ”
"That's not good, you can't embezzle that money, otherwise the one above will be unhappy."
"They don't care about that."
"Really?" If the field can be redeemed, the Chen family is naturally willing, but they are only worried that their granddaughter will be affected.
"It's really okay, I've already asked, and I'll be on it in the future."
"Then grandmother will listen to you."
During lunch, Yuan Lingchen mentioned the matter of ransom of the field, and when he learned that it had no effect on Yuan Lingchen, Yuan Jinan was relieved.
I also thought in my heart that as soon as my granddaughter became a family, they not only had white rice and white flour, but also redeemed the acres of land.
In this regard, his vision is not as good as that of the old woman at home.
As soon as they finished speaking, Yuan Baozhu had finished eating a bowl of rice, and she rubbed her slightly bulging belly: "It's the first time I've eaten such delicious rice when I've grown so big." ”
She smacked her lips, a little unsatisfied, but in the end she knew the proportions, in such a year, it was extremely difficult to eat a bowl of rice porridge, not to mention such a bowl of rice that was not mixed with anything, where could she open her mouth to have another bowl?
Yuan Lingchen saw through her mind and said to her: "There is a lot of cooking just now, and there are some others in the pot, if my sister-in-law can't eat enough, let's use some more." ”
Yuan Baozhu was happy at first, then looked at Yuan Jin'an, looked at Chen, and then looked at Shen, and still shook his head: "I'm already full." ”
At that moment, there was a commotion from the village, and the sound of footsteps mixed with faint screams reached their house.
Chen is not a person who likes to watch the excitement, so he is naturally indifferent.
But Yuan Baozhu, a person who had just retired and should have been honest with his family, said that he wanted to go out and have a look.
Chen objected: "It's chaotic outside, and I don't know what's going on, so don't go out." ”
Yuan Lingchen actually knew it for a long time: "I'll accompany my sister-in-law to go out and have a look." ”
With her opening, where would the Chen family object, and only asked Yuan Jinan to accompany them out.
has been walking along the source of the riots, and you can meet people who are on the same road in twos and threes.
Until the door of Yuan Jinning's house, he saw that the gate was closed, because the courtyard wall was more than one person high, and the people outside could not see the movement inside, and only vaguely heard Wang Xiuli's wail.
Until the patriarch heard the news and rushed to come.
"Knock the door open for me."
