Due to the hot weather, people are staying at home and reluctant to go out, resulting in many deserted shops.

The activity of "exchanging old books for new books" initiated by Qi Wuju also entered the sea like water droplets, and did not get any response.

Affected by the weather and the failure to improve the passenger flow of Qi Wuju, Zhou Jingrong's appetite was reduced and her appetite was poor.

Xian Ge went to the kitchen to make food for her, and she was bored in the room, so she went with Xian Ge.

The two of them walked to the kitchen and saw the kitchen steward reprimanding a young man in a cloth shirt.

The young man, dressed modestly, was polite and kept bowing his hands, as if apologizing for something.

But the steward didn't give up, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he directly raised his foot and kicked over the porcelain altar beside him. The porcelain altar fell to the ground, and a viscous yellow liquid flowed out, and a sweet smell came to the nostrils.

Zhou Jingrong immediately recognized that it was the smell of honey.

She hurried forward, rescued the remaining half jar of honey, tasted it, and couldn't help but be very surprised.

At this time, there is no purification technology, and the honey is the original solution, with more impurities, and it tastes very astringent. But this jar of honey is rare clean and pure, with a mellow taste.

When the steward saw Zhou Jingrong, he immediately changed his smiling face, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just haught.

He was about to greet Zhou Jingrong when he suddenly heard another cold female voice behind him: "Are you the new kitchen steward?" ”

The steward turned around and saw that it was Fu Raohua, and the flattering smile on his face became even more obvious: "The little one has seen the second girl, the second girl is really clever, and the little one is ......."

Fu Raohua only confirmed his identity, and didn't pay attention to his whiskers, but turned around and saluted the man in the cloth shirt: "Brother Lin." ”

Lin Yan hurriedly returned the salute: "Second girl." ”

Zhou Jingrong had been helped up by Xian Ge, and she was still reluctant to hold the half jar of honey in her arms.

Fu Raohua walked up to her, grabbed her arm affectionately, and introduced her: "Second sister-in-law, this Brother Lin is Cousin Tong's cousin. ”

Originally the nephew of Fu Jiaofu's family, Zhou Jingrong smiled at Lin Yan and was slightly blessed.

Lin Yanli was thoughtful for a few times, and bowed again: "Second grandmother." ”

The three of them introduced each other to each other, and the steward listened to Fu Raohua's words and was shocked.

He saw that Lin Yan was wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a few baskets of fruits and vegetables, thinking that he was here to deliver vegetables, so he was furious because of the unintentional collision between the two, but he never expected that this seemingly poor person was actually a distinguished in-law of the Fu family.

Just when the steward didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard Fu Raohua instruct the maid next to him in a flat tone: "Cuixiang, take him to the account room to settle the silver, so that our Fu family will not keep the people who do not distinguish between respect and humility." ”

The steward was shocked and hurriedly apologized: "Second girl, the little one knows that he is wrong!" It was a small dog who looked at people and collided with Lin Gongzi, and hoped that Lin Gongzi would forgive. But the small one was personally selected by the second wife, and it was up to the second wife to decide if she was out of the house, right? ”

Fu Raohua sneered, and looked at him with a cold gaze: "What, do you think that I don't have the ability to dismiss a steward, or do you think that in front of my mother, your words are more important than me?" ”

The steward wanted to move out of the Wu family to take care of Fu Raohua, but he didn't want her to be so assertive at a young age, so his eyes suddenly went dark, and he could only leave resignedly.

After solving the stewardship, Fu Raohua turned to Lin Yan and said in a more casual tone: "Brother Lin, you have worked hard to send seasonal fruits and vegetables again." But you're too honest, what's polite to a subordinate? ”

Lin Yan looked a little cramped: "These are all fruits from my own trees, fresh, and the road is not far, I don't work hard." He, he ......"

Seeing Lin Yan's overwhelmed reaction, Fu Raohua also felt that she was too straightforward, so she looked at the porcelain altar curiously and changed the topic: "What is this?" ”

Lin Yan's face was slightly red, and he didn't know if he was sunburned or shy: "Second girl, this is a special trip to bring you." I heard that you like honey, so I made some and I hope you will like it. ”

In the era of lack of technology and equipment, if you want to get such jars of honey with a relatively pure taste, I don't know how much effort Lin Yan has to pay.

Zhou Jingrong blinked, as if she smelled a hint of gossip.

Fu Raohua smiled openly and thanked generously: "Thank you, Brother Lin!" ”

Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Raohua's heart without distractions and Lin Yan's smirk, and sighed slightly in her heart, it seems that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart.

However, Zhou Jingrong's light bulb was not in vain, and he also got a jar of honey from Lin Yan.

Zhou Jingrong happily returned to the Shi'an Courtyard with the honey jar, and saw that Yan Feng was calling the family to carry things to the cellar.

She walked over curiously, only to see more than a dozen cages full of ice!

Fu Yunshen walked out, took the porcelain altar in Zhou Jingrong's arms, and asked with a smile, "What is so precious?" ”

Zhou Jingrong didn't have time to answer him, so he only asked urgently: "Where did you get so much ice?" ”

Fu Yunshen said lightly: "Friends give it away." ”

Due to the unbearable heat, the price of ice on the market has reached a sky-high price, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Zhou Jingrong opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Now the price of ice is so expensive, this costs a lot of money, right?" Your friend is too wealthy, so he will give it away! ”

As she spoke, she asked uneasily, "What friend?" ”

Before Fu Yunshen could answer, she quickly explained: "I didn't mean to probe into your privacy, I just felt ......."

Fu Yunshen interrupted her: "It's okay, if you have a chance in the future, you will get to know each other." ”

After speaking, a light smile appeared on his face, shrouded in soft light and shadow, which made his eyebrows and eyes picturesque, handsome and unparalleled, making Zhou Jingrong dizzy for a moment.

Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen, her eyes straightened, and she muttered, "It's so good-looking!" ”

Fu Yunshen didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”

Zhou Jingrong pursed her lips, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly: "I said honey, it's very sweet." ”
