Chapter 339: A Treat
Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
December!
The capital drips into ice!
Pedestrians on the street, everyone hurrying, hunching their necks and hunching their bodies.
I can't wait to shrink myself into a small piece and withstand the daunting extreme cold.
It's not going to be a good winter.
If it continues to be cold like this, the weather will not warm up until the beginning of spring.
The weather is not warm, which is bound to delay spring planting and sowing.
The spring ploughing has been delayed, and next year's harvest is even more worrying.
Therefore, on the street, almost everyone is sad.
Even small people who don't farm are hard to smile.
It's so cold!
The cost of charcoal for heating alone is at least 50% more than last year.
The key is that the price of charcoal has risen this year, and it is two or three percent more expensive than in previous years.
How can you not worry about the fact that your income is not increasing, but your expenses are increasing?
The mixed soup in the north and south has been the business of the grocery stores in the north and south, but it is getting better and better.
The colder the weather, the better the business.
The cost has risen, but the price of the north-south chop soup has not risen, and it is still a bowl of hot chop soup for two cents.
Count and there must be about ten pieces of offal.
Two pennies, warm your stomach, and you can also open meat.
In this harsh winter, for many small people, eating a bowl of chop soup is the most wonderful enjoyment.
Sauce pickles at the North and South grocery stores...... Although the price is slightly higher than that of its peers, it is better than the full use of materials, and the willingness to use salt, which is particularly authentic and tastes very good.
Many small people in the market use pickles and sauces from the north and south grocery stores as salt.
In this way, it seems that there is still some salt money left, but it is earned.
Therefore, the business of these two places, on the contrary, took advantage of the trend to rise this winter, and sales broke through a new high.
……
The Lord's Mansion of Zhuyang County.
The garden pond froze, and Yan Yunge's interest in fishing was undiminished.
She felt that it was a very happy thing to eat a pot of hot and spicy hot pot fish in winter.
She even had the ingredients ready, except for the fish.
Despite the whining of the northwest wind, she insisted on sitting in the gazebo and fishing.
The maids surrounded the pavilion with a screen to block the howling cold wind, and prepared two braziers.
The small gazebo, on this winter day, warms up in a blink of an eye.
Yan Yunge held the brass hand warmer, drank the delicious lotus seed soup, and leaned back on the chair with a lazy expression, like a landlord's eldest lady.
The maids gossiped and gossiped.
"There are clan relatives who come to fight the autumn breeze, and their skin is really thick."
"What do you say those clan relatives think, the family is so poor that they can't open the pot, and they don't want to go out to find work. I don't go to Shaofu in the autumn wind, but I come to our county lord's mansion. ”
"After all, it's a member of the clan, where can I pull my subordinates to work outside to earn money, it's a shame!"
"I can't eat, it's a shame. Sure enough, it is to die to save face and suffer sin. ”
"Aren't those clan relatives just relying on the county lord's mother to talk, and they run to the door twice in three days."
"At the beginning, the first person to come to the door to fight the autumn wind, the county lord's mother was ruthless and drove people out, and it will not be like now, there are people coming to the door to fight the autumn wind every day."
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense! Our county lord's mansion is not short of that bit of food, the county lord's mother is kind-hearted, and it is a good thing to help the clansmen. Also, what does the county lord do, and when will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks. Beware of the girl's punishment of you. ”
A few little maids stuck out their tongues, all with a weak face.
Ah Bei came to Yan Yunge, "Girl, the slave has already taught them a lesson. In the future, they will not dare to talk nonsense! ”
Yan Yunge snorted, "Someone came to fight the autumn breeze again?" ”
"Exactly! has nothing to do with the county lord's mother, just because they are surnamed Xiao, they come to the door with a cheeky face. ”
Yan Yunge bared his teeth.
As the old saying goes, the emperor's family still has three poor relatives.
There are tens of thousands of royal family members, and not every family has a good life.
The members of the royal family have a knight and can operate, and their lives are basically not bad.
But the members of the clan have been passed down from generation to generation, and some of them are so poor that they are not as good as the begging for food on the street.
are all so poor, these clan members will not put down their subordinates to work to earn money.
All they can count on every year is the rice and grain distributed by the head of the Shaofu to survive.
However, there is not enough to eat every year, and the autumn wind has to be fought every year.
The members of the clan who are experienced in dealing with the autumn wind in the Shaofu are experienced.
Every time someone fights the autumn wind, give a two or two meters of noodles to send people away.
A large family, two or two meters of noodles is definitely not enough to eat.
What to do?
Shaofu is also principled, how can you go to Shaofu every day to fight the autumn breeze.
Not to mention, you have to wait five or six days before you can go to Shaofu again to fight the autumn breeze.
Otherwise, Shaofu will directly blast people out, and there will be no grain of food.
At this time, you have to go to the wealthy clansmen's family to fight the autumn breeze, as long as you are thick-skinned, you will not return empty-handed.
They are all people who want to save face, and poor relatives come to the door, and they are stingy even with a few catties of rice and noodles, aren't they people?
It's definitely not people, it's for the rich!
These members of the clan, who are so poor that they don't even have to wear bottoms, are not only thick-skinned, but also able to speak.
Spreading gossip and rumors and ruining the reputation of others are the most powerful.
If anyone does not give them food, they will make up nonsense to ruin their reputation.
How important is fame!
How can you lose your reputation because of a few catties of rice and noodles.
As a result, most of the royal family members can only pinch their noses and endure these poor relatives who are dedicated to fighting the autumn wind.
Fortunately, they are all people who want face, even if they are full-time autumn breeze, they also know how to measure.
One door in a month or two is enough!
So many rich relatives, one by one, went down one by one, and the food they begged was enough to last for a month or two.
It's just that I can't stand too many poor relatives, and all of them are cheeky.
According to Yan Yunge's temper, he directly beat these people out, and if he hurt them, he knew what was wrong.
Fame or not, she doesn't care.
Her reputation is already like this, it doesn't matter if it continues to deteriorate.
Anyway, if she doesn't beat people, her reputation won't get better.
But his mother, Shaw, disagreed.
In Shaw's words, "A little rice is worth a few dollars." For that little money, the dignified marquis girl went to beat people, like something. It didn't take much effort to let the steward below send that group of people, and it didn't cost a few catties of food. After the wax moon, the rice grain in Shaofu was put down, and they said that they could settle down for half a year. ”
"I just think they're disgusting!"
"Out of sight, out of mind. This kind of thing, you just know it, don't take it personally. We're not that small-minded. ”
When it comes to this, it already involves narrow-mindedness or not, what can Yan Yunge do?
I can only ignore foreign affairs in my ears and only fish in the pond.
……
The buoy moved.
Yan Yunge pulled up the fishing rod, and sure enough, it was a grass carp, estimated to weigh three or four catties.
She laughed and prepared to catch another one.
Two fish, eat fish hot pot, that's enough!
At noon, she cooked and cooked herself, and even took care of the work of killing fish.
The cook stood silently aside, feeling dispensable, so sad.
Kitchen things, what else won't the four girls do?
What skills do they have to show off in front of the four girls?
Ay......
Being the chef of the county lord's mansion is so stressful!
Who makes his four girls have top cooking skills, they can eat and cook.
I can only be glad that the county lord is kind and does not dislike the food they cook, nor does she drive them out of the mansion.
If you change to the four girls in charge, from top to bottom in the kitchen, everyone, I'm afraid that if you change it once a year, the four girls will think that the change is too slow.
In the winter, I eat fish hot pot and sweat profusely.
Cool!
Yan Yunge is not spicy or happy, and he eats crookedly.
After a few years of adaptation, the Xiao family, the lord of Zhuyang, can now eat some spicy food, and he is more accepting of fish hot pot.
She paid attention to self-cultivation and didn't eat much, but drank two bowls of tender white fish soup.
She also didn't forget to remind Yan Yunge, "Eat less, beware of accumulating food." ”
The mother can rest assured that no matter how much her daughter eats, she will not accumulate food. It won't be long before the stomach is digested. ”
She has good gastrointestinal function, consumes a lot, and eats more.
So far, I haven't had diarrhea because I have eaten too much, and I haven't had any gastrointestinal problems.
She seems to eat a lot, but in fact, she never eats until she is full, and basically puts down her chopsticks when she is full.
It's just that as she grows older, her eight points of fullness is indeed a bit big for others.
The ladies of the family are beautiful, the amount of exercise is insufficient, and they naturally don't eat much.
Yan Yunge exercises a lot, and he feels hungry every day, so he naturally eats more.
Eat until you are full, put down your chopsticks, stretch your waist, this feels so beautiful!
That's what life should be.
She showed a satisfied expression, and it would be even more perfect to take a nap later!
Xiao Shi rinsed his mouth, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his lips, and then said to Yan Yunge: "Dongping Wangfu sent someone to send an invitation today. ”
Hey?
"Dongping Wangfu actually wants to have a treat?"
Yan Yunge felt surprised.
Since the death of the old King Dongping, the Dongping Mansion has been low-key in recent years, as if it did not exist.
Unexpectedly, the New Year is about to begin, and I want to have a treat.
She asked, "Did you say why you were treated?" ”
Xiao nodded, "The younger brother of the first mother of the king of Dongping, Gongzi Yi returned to the palace and officially resumed the identity of the prince of the palace. In order to celebrate, I will post a treat. ”
Burst!
Yan Yunge, who was drinking tea, almost squirted out.
She took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yi wants to go back to the palace and restore his status as the prince of the palace?" Because he lost his errand in the Southern Army, he couldn't find the meaning of life, so he wanted to be a prince again? ”
Xiao Shi looked at Yan Yunge with a complicated look in his eyes.
Yan Yunge suddenly felt empty, "Why does my mother look at me like this?" Weird. ”
Xiao Shi said softly: "Whether Xiao Yi wants to be a gentleman or not, this palace doesn't know. But there is another speculation in this palace, which may have something to do with you. ”
"Can't have anything to do with me!"
Yan Yunge waved his hand again and again in denial.
"Mother, your daughter is really not as popular as you think, you really misunderstood!"
Xiao Shi took a sip of tea and said with a serious face: "Although you are not so popular, you are not as hated as you think. The Shen family, who listened to one-sided words, did not contact you personally, so they denied you. Princess Chengyang's side is a beam formed in the early years, although the responsibility lies with you, but it is not because you are not good enough. Don't be presumptuous. ”
