Chapter 203: A New Dish

Mu Tianyue sat down with Qian Qianqian, raised her hand and poured her a cup of tea, but she was not in the mood to taste it, her face was still gloomy, and she looked uneasy.

"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't have dealings with General Xiao? also said that he wanted to cut off all relations with the general, why was he more excited than anyone else when he heard that the general had an accident? ”

Mu Tianyue looked Qian Qianqian up and down, her eyes were full of indescribable temptation, and her expression became subtle.

Qian Qianqian came back to her senses, and then realized that she had behaved too much just now, so out of control, everyone would think about it a lot, and those who didn't know thought that Xiao Mohan was her sweetheart.

"I've always been righteous towards my friends, General Xiao has helped me a lot in the past, this time he is in trouble, how can I ignore it? Even if it were you, or Zhao Ye, I would be so worried. ”

Qian Qianqian turned her face slightly, although she said it soundingly, but if you pay attention, you can find that she is just covering up her own weakness, and no one can compare with Xiao Mohan in her heart.

"Really? You may be able to fool me with this kind of words, but you can't fool yourself, no matter how hard you are, these body movements can't be hidden. ”

Mu Tianyue chuckled, with an indescribable mockery on his face, which made Qian Qianqian resolute.

"General Xiao has an accident, why are you still smiling? You're not fooling me, are you? ”

Qian Qianqian stared at Mu Tianyue carefully, her eyes glowing with suspicion, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"How can I fool you about such a thing? When you go to the general's mansion and ask, you will know that the general has been fighting for many years and has rich experience, and he can often return victorious, so I am not as panicked as you. ”

Mu Tianyue's face changed, she retracted her gaze, and slowly shook the folding fan in her hand, still looking like that, but Qian Qianqian was a little unaccustomed to it.

Although Qian Qianqian was suspicious, she also knew that this kind of thing was nonsense, not only could the paper not hold the fire, but it was also very unlucky, Mu Tianyue only Xiao Mohan was the first to look forward, and he should not curse Xiao Mohan like this.

"Then do you have a way to relieve General Xiao?" Qian Qianqian is always at ease, although she knows Xiao Mohan's prestige among the people, she also knows that the sword has no eyes, and Xiao Mohan will not return triumphantly every time.

"What can I do, I'm just a businessman, I can only contribute to the money, I can't do anything else, if you want me to say don't worry about it, deal with this matter in Lianzhou City, and solve General Xiao's worries is more effective than anything."

Mu Tianyue persuaded her bitterly, but Qian Qianqian didn't think so, it was important to settle in the rear, but if Xiao Mohan couldn't come back, she thought that she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"You are General Xiao's good brother, how can you say it so easily? If you don't care about this matter, then don't care what I'm going to do, anyway, with you in Lianzhou City, the people will definitely be able to tide over this difficulty. ”

Qian Qianqian is a stubborn temper, she doesn't hit the south wall or looks back, and she can't wait for the news calmly, so she must make a difference.

"My aunt, your temperament is really exactly the same as General Xiao, you are really a natural pair, I explained so much to you just now, it is in vain, if only General Xiao can hold you."

Mu Tianyue put away the folding fan, very helpless, in the past, he just felt that Qian Qianqian had the stubbornness and pungency that ordinary women did not have, but now at a glance, her temper is really harder than that of ordinary men.

"When is it now, still saying such things, do you care about this matter?"

Qian Qianqian is unrelenting, in fact, she is not an unreasonable person, but this matter is related to Xiao Mohan's safety, and she does not dare to relax in the slightest.

Mu Tianyue was forced to have no choice, he really couldn't manage this matter, but he couldn't let Qian Qianqian go to the frontier, and the errand that Xiao Mohan gave him was really torturous.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, someone knocked on the door, Mu Tianyue suddenly came back to his senses, got up and went over to open the door.

"Boss Mu." The butler stood at the door and bowed slightly towards Mu Tianyue.

"Why are you here?" Mu Tianyue was still a little surprised, but looking at the things in the housekeeper's hand, he also roughly guessed a few points in his heart.

"This is a letter from the frontier, I found out that Miss Qian is here today, so I specially sent it to her."

The housekeeper explained respectfully, and when Qian Qianqian heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately ran over and took the letter from the housekeeper.

"A few days ago, there was a group of bandits on the way back to Lianzhou from the frontier, so the letter was delayed on the road for a few days, and it was not delivered to the general's mansion until noon today.

The housekeeper explained simply, Qian Qianqian's mood eased a lot, nodded slightly, and then watched the housekeeper walk away.

Mu Tianyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, with this letter, Qian Qianqian should be able to settle down for some time, and he will not be forced to find a way now.

Qian Qianqian tore open the envelope and took out the rice paper inside, it was indeed Xiao Mohan's handwriting, every stroke was tall and sharp, and there was a faint fragrance of ink on the paper, which made people smell inexplicably at ease, and they all said that the words were like their people, she didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Xiao Mohan made it very clear in the letter, asking Qian Qianqian to assist Mu Tianyue in Lianzhou and take care of the trivial affairs of Lianzhou City, looking at the tone on the letter, Xiao Mohan seemed to completely regard her as his general's wife.

Mu Tianyue poked his neck, and also saw the content of the letter, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.

"This time it was General Xiao who personally wrote a letter and ordered, you can't help it, if you rush to the frontier now, it is very likely that you will not be able to help the general, and you will cause chaos to the general, you are also a smart person, how to choose, you don't need me to remind you."

Mu Tianyue added fuel to the fire, Qian Qianqian put away the letter, and thought carefully in her heart, she didn't know what the situation was in the frontier, if she rushed to the frontier, it would indeed be very inappropriate, since Xiao Mohan repeatedly instructed her to stay in Lianzhou, then she still didn't let Xiao Mohan worry well.

"I was too impulsive just now, I'm sorry."

Qian Qianqian looked at Mu Tianyue, lowered her eyes slightly, and deliberately lowered her voice, although she said it a little casually, but it was sincere.

"Don't get in the way, as long as you figure it out, there are still a lot of things waiting for you and me to take care of in Lianzhou City, you must cheer up and wait for the good news from General Xiao."

Mu Tianyue raised her hand and patted Qian Qianqian's shoulder, raised her thin lips lightly, her temperament was warm, and she looked particularly calm and appropriate.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll come back to you in a few days."

Qian Qianqian didn't stay long, since the matter of changing grain has been proposed, then you have to give it a try, it just so happens that the weather is good these days, the scorching sun is in the sky, and it is most suitable to dry those fruits and vegetables.

Xiao Mohan replied to her several letters one after another, although she said that she didn't care, but she still sorted out those letters and put them into a locked wooden box, which still stored the deed of their house, as well as the brush that Xiao Mohan gave her earlier, all of which were precious things.

Qian Qianqian cut all the fruits and vegetables picked from the space into thin slices, spread them on the straw mat, and with the help of Qian Fen and Qian Xuan, she took out all those things and dried them in the sun.

Originally, Qian Fen and the others were a little surprised that Qian Qianqian suddenly made so many fruits and vegetables, but Qian Qianqian lied that she had bought a garden to grow vegetables outside, so they dispelled the doubts in their hearts.

"Eldest sister, what's the use of these vegetables being dried? You might as well make it into a pickle. ”

Qian Fen helped Qian Qianqian with her work, and she was very puzzled, not knowing what kind of ghost idea Qian Qianqian had come up with.

"Although pickles are shelf-stable, eating too many pickled things is not good for the body, and there are also a large number of people who can't stand the taste of pickles.

Qian Qianqian explained lightly, did not mention the matter of sending these dried vegetables to Jiangnan in exchange for food, and now the people in Lianzhou City are panicking, and this matter has not been skimmed, so it is better not to spread it.

"I see, eldest sister, you are really capable."

Qian Fen suddenly realized, and her eyes were full of admiration and praise when she looked at Qian Qianqian.

Qian Qianqian just pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything, the vegetables were dried for several days, and finally dried up, and when eating lunch, Qian Qianqian deliberately grabbed a handful and stewed meat with dried vegetables, even Brother Yao, who has been picky since he was a child, thought it was delicious.

"Qianqian, this dish is really delicious, it has more fragrance than fresh vegetables, and it is not as salty as pickles, if it is sold in the city, it will be very popular."

Mother Qian also nodded one after another, in fact, if it weren't for Qian Qianqian's good cooking skills, this dried vegetable might not be so delicious, but since this dried vegetable can capture the taste of several people in the Qian family, take it out and sell it, it must not be bad.

"You think it's delicious, now the people of Lianzhou are having a hard time, deliberately few people have spare money to buy this, let's save a little here, keep it for this year's New Year, it's also a fresh delicacy."

Qian Qianqian cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and responded to Qian Mudao, in fact, Qian Mu didn't know the situation outside, but in Qian Mu's eyes, nothing was more important than silver.

"That's fine, Qianqian, I also heard that the rice in Qianjia Village has problems, and there is no harvest, you took a lot of grain to subsidize those villagers, where did you get so much grain?"

Mother Qian cautiously tested, in the past few days, Qian Qianqian has been feeling that Mother Qian is a little uneasy, as if she has something to say, but she doesn't know where to start, and now Mother Qian has finally spoken.

"Mother, don't worry about this matter, all the grain I put down a few years ago, although there was an accident with the rice, but I can't let those villagers work in vain, after all, they also have to eat."

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and she explained to herself, but Qian Mu didn't seem to care about this, if Qian Qianqian didn't guess wrong, someone should have said something to Qian Mu behind her back.

"Having said that, if you give them all the food, what will we do as a family? And your grandmother's family, their life is not easy, your aunt and third aunt are still in prison, do we have to compensate them? ”

Mother Qian hesitated again and again, and finally opened her mouth.
