Chapter 205: Spring Everywhere
In the afternoon of the same day, many officials' "eyeliner" eunuchs quietly stared at the limping Prince Kang, and walked out of the imperial study with a gloomy face.
So, on the morning of the second day, the officials of the court adhered to the principle that the water dogs must be beaten, and more snowflakes flew towards the emperor's bookcase. But this time, Prince Kang did not remain silent any longer, and he opened his mouth to try not to say anything, even several officials who were good friends with him also went to the court to impeach the prince and the prime minister.
Needless to say, an unprecedented war of words broke out between the DPRK and China, and this battle was ten and a half days. And the many officials who were busy accumulating saliva, none of them had the bother to pay attention to the fact that in the early morning of one day, two ordinary carriages came out of the back door of a certain Hou mansion, and went straight out of the city gate and went straight to the north...
As the old saying goes, the flame is high when everyone gathers firewood. Since the completion of the greenhouses, in addition to the old people with their children who are busy digging and adding wooden boxes, the remaining young and strong children and even women have resisted the firewood knives and poured into the mountains outside the village. Whatever withered dwarf pines, dry shrubs, everything that could be stuffed into the furnace and turned into a fire were cut back.
Seeing that the firewood stacks of each family were as high as the sky, Pucao hurriedly told everyone that they could stop. Only then did everyone rub their sore shoulders and began to learn how to sprout and breed, and how to water in the soil.
Of course, no one in Nangou Village is so busy that no one will form a team to hunt in the mountains in the distance, so it also makes the hunters in the surrounding villages very curious. If there is no prey to grab, there will be more natural harvest, which is a good thing after all. So after a few days, no one bothered to look for it anymore.
In this way, the weather is getting colder and colder in the busyness of everyone in Nangou Village. When the children changed into jackets for half a month, the first light snow finally fell quietly in the middle of the night.
Pucao, who got up early, saw that the courtyard was full of silver and white, and she was very happy to call the two sleeping children to get up, and took a broom and a shovel to build a snowman. It's a pity that the reason why Xiaoxue is called small is because it only has a thin layer after falling overnight, not to mention building a snowman, and even making a snowball is a little difficult.
The two children who got up from the bed were very disappointed, and their little faces wrinkled and looked up at God, hoping that it would have another goose feather snowfall.
Pu Cao was a little weak-hearted, and felt that some time ago, he had confined the two children at home to write, and some of them were restrained harshly, so he smiled and coaxed, "Sister-in-law is going to the city today, why don't you go to the market together?" ”
Shanzi is lively and playful by nature, and naturally claps happily when he hears this. Peach Blossom shook her head, "I should go to the master to learn embroidery today, and go with my sister-in-law another day." ”
Shanzi has always been accustomed to acting with Peach Blossom, and when he heard that Peach Blossom didn't go, he also lost his interest, blinked his eyes and changed his words, "Sister, then I won't go either, I'll stay and watch the house." ”
Pu Cao knows this kid's temperament best, how could he not guess that it was fake for him to stay at home, and it was true that he was playing crazy everywhere with a group of small soldiers. But her original intention was to give the two children a day off, so she didn't break him, smiled and praised him, and went to the stove to make breakfast.
Soon, the family of three had breakfast, and after cleaning the table, Pucao lay on the fence to summon Chunni. Chunni came out of the house with a bowl of rice and asked while drinking porridge, "Have you finished eating, Pucao?" I just set up a dinner table. ”
Chunni and his wife built a greenhouse in partnership with the old couple of the Liu family in the autumn, Liu Housheng refused to forget his roots, and still stayed in the greenhouse of the Zhang family every day, but his own greenhouse was all handed over to Chunni to take care of by his father.
Pu Cao was grateful, and naturally refused to let their husband and wife be so busy, so he discussed with Fang Jie and invited Uncle Jiang to guard the greenhouse. Uncle Jiang is silent and lazy, and Pucao has opened up half of the territory to cultivate mushrooms, and there is not much work left, so Uncle Jiang will be completely started in just a few days.
Seeing this, Liu Housheng was relieved to take care of his own "cornucopia", the old couple of the Liu family had experienced a big lesson like life and death, which can be said to be a great understanding, and they regarded the words of their son and daughter-in-law as a holy decree. As a result, Chun Nier's life is now going smoothly.
Pu Cao saw that her face was ruddy, and she was fatter than last month, and couldn't help but quip, "You, you can do more work in the future, otherwise you will be slaughtered as a fat pig before the New Year." ”
Chunni pursed her lips and snorted in protest, swallowed a big mouthful of japonica rice porridge and said with a smile, "It should be said that I have escaped the oppression of you, the landlord's old wealth, and now I have turned over and lived a good life, so I am wide-hearted and fat." ”
Pu Cao laughed, and in the end, she didn't fight with her, and discussed a few words to go back to Lijia Village to see her godfather and godmother in a few days, and then handed over the two children to her to take care of.
As soon as the two finished talking and laughing, Dongzi drove the carriage to the gate of the courtyard. Chunni smiled and pushed Pucao, "Hurry up and get dressed, your family is here to pick it up." ”
Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, Fang Jie jumped down from the carriage and said in a loud voice, "It's cold in the snow, remember to find a big sweater." ”
Pu Cao's face turned slightly red, and she glared at Chunni, who was holding the empty bowl and squeezing her eyebrows, and responded, "Got it, wait for me for a while." ”
After saying that, she went back to the house and changed into the dress she went out of, and after thinking about it, she turned over a cloak at the bottom of the box that the magpie had sent back a few days ago. This cloak is made of light purple feather veil, which is inlaid with a layer of soft rabbit skin, which is not expensive but elegant and very suitable for wearing in such a season.
Sure enough, as soon as she got in the car, Fang Jie was already smiling and praised, "This cloak looks good, no wonder you don't like the fox skin I sent, it turns out that this color is more suitable for you." ”
Women are pleasing to themselves, and often a compliment from a beloved man can withstand the contempt of the whole world. Pucao is also a Pucao woman, and she is naturally happy with her new joy, but she still pretends to be indifferent on her face, and says lightly, "I look okay." ”
Fang Jie saw that her eyebrows were raised with joy, and suddenly remembered the classic saying of Confucius, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, close is not inferior, far away is resentful", so he couldn't help laughing aloud.
Pu Cao guessed that he must be slandering in his heart, leaned forward and pinched his waist soft @ meat, and asked in annoyance, "Honestly, what are you arranging for me in your heart?" ”
Fang Jie naturally refused to tell the truth, and in desperation, he also performed a trick, bowing his head and sealing the cherry mouth that made people love and hate. The carriage drove all the way through the mountains and forests wearing new snow clothes, leaving two long ruts, but the carriage was boundless spring, and the warm people's hearts were hot, where do you remember that this is the early winter moment...
Xu is in a good mood, Pu Cao and Fang Jie went into the city to take a look at the Xiyangyang Restaurant, which had been closed for three days and relocated tables and chairs. Chen He is a shrewd and capable person, but all the things that Pucao explained some time ago were properly arranged, no matter how big or small. In the back kitchen, the fat cook is making new sauces with the strength of the Chen family.
Dali is the eldest grandson of the Chen family, because the family had a hard time in the past few years, there was no opportunity to study, and he has been doing rough work, and he was even sent to the pottery kiln as an apprentice, and he suffered a lot of hardship. If it weren't for Pucao finding a way to make a fortune for the Chen family, I'm afraid he would have been half-baked by now.
This half-grown son is also a person who knows gratitude, but whenever he has free time, he always has to go to Zhang's house to go around, and he helps with water and wood. Pu Cao saw it in his eyes, and some time ago, he took the opportunity to change the main dish in the restaurant and brought him to the fat chef to help, hoping that he would be able to take charge of himself in the future and learn the ability to support his family.
The Chen family, young and old, was naturally happy, and Chen's sister-in-law almost shed tears, telling her son to work hard countless times and not to embarrass Pucao. Dali is also a competitive person, diligent and not much-mouthed, and he has won everyone's praise after only seven or eight days of coming to the restaurant. The fat cook even said that he had talent and planned to accept him as a big disciple, of course, there was also an ingredient in pleasing Pucao.
Pu Cao knew in her heart that of course she would take out the recipes in her head more generously and share them in the future, which was a win-win situation, and everyone was happy.
The master and apprentice had already mixed the sauce according to the recipe given by Pucao, and when they saw Pucao coming in, they were all happy to come forward to salute, and at the end they asked Pucao to taste and guide.
Pucao tasted the taste of the sauce compared with the taste in the hot pot restaurant in the previous life, and the fresh aroma was really surpassing, so after feeling the deliciousness of the natural food here, he took the two of them to start boiling the soup base.
After a busy time, everyone naturally sat around the table for lunch and tasted the freshness, each of them gave a thumbs up and praised, and rejoiced that the restaurant would definitely be on fire again.
Fang Jie was originally generous, and immediately promised to pay everyone double the salary if the net profit of January was as good as the average of the previous months, so the cheers of the crowd almost lifted the roof.
When the two of them finished the trivial matters again, went to the shop to buy some things for the winter, and returned to Nangou Village, the already somewhat dim sun had immediately set on the top of the West Mountain.
Shanzi was leading his small soldiers to run madly under the willow trees at the entrance of the village, which had lost their leaves, and when he saw the carriage returning, he immediately changed his course, and shouted to meet him.
Pu Cao was helpless and funny, opened the door and handed two packets of sesame candy, telling him to go home early and not go to the river before closing the door again and leaving the village.
As a result, as soon as she arrived at the door, Chun Nier had already led a few villagers to greet her. The rapeseed planted earlier in the past few days has already emerged, and it is delicate and tender but only an inch high. The villagers have long regarded this vegetable seedling as if it were poured with gold, for fear of a mistake, and they can't wait to ask Pucao to take a look at it every day to feel at ease.
No, Pu Cao went to the city to do errands, and it was only half a day's work, and the family waited for more than ten days.
Seeing that Pu Cao was tired, everyone rubbed their hands and laughed, it was really a little difficult to open her mouth and let her run around tired.
Pu Cao was kind-hearted, and he understood the eagerness of everyone to get rich, so he turned his head and said a few words to Fang Jie to go together. Fang Jie originally wanted to have a quiet dinner with Pu Cao, but now that he was about to take a bath, he simply didn't go back to his house and accompanied her away.
(At noon, I sat in the yard with my mother-in-law and nibbled on the bud grain sticks, and when my mother-in-law saw the dragonflies in the yard, she said that there was going to be heavy rain.) I looked up at the rare cloudless clear sky, and I didn't believe it at all. As a result, only four hours later, when I looked up again, the sky outside was already "dark clouds". Woo, mother-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn't question your old man's authority. Let's discuss, let's stop raining, I want to bask in the sun, ah, ah, I'm going to get moldy. )
