Chapter 72
Cheng Rui glared at Shangguan Rumo, and then looked at Ye Lan a little helplessly, "Probably that's the case, my current name is Cheng Rui." ”
"Don't worry, master, although you look a little awkward, I won't dislike you, by the way, master, you take off your mask now to meet me, is there any purpose?" Ye Lan was extremely smart, and she thought that there must be something related to this.
"It's not that you haven't been in the city for a long time, your master misses you, so I'll come to see you, it's inconvenient at night, you must meet others during the day, and you wear a mask for fear of scaring others, so I took the mask."
"I see, master, you are so good." Hearing Shangguan Rumo say this, Ye Lan felt a little awkward in her heart, this is still her own master.
"Hehe......" Cheng Rui was still expressionless, but his tone sounded very happy.
The three of them chatted for a while, Ye Lan thought that she could almost eat the sausages she made, so it was better to let the two of them try it today, so she said,
"Master, Brother Shangguan, let's eat here in a while, I made sausages, it's almost ready to eat, and I'll cook some for you to taste in a while."
"It's Xiao Yelan's fresh stuff again? Then you're welcome. "Shangguan Rumo is very interested in Ye Lan making things.
"Brother Shangguan, you can just call me Ye Lan, don't take a bite of a little Ye Lan." Listening strangely, Ye Lan couldn't help but remind.
"Okay, Ye Lan." Shangguan Rumo didn't ask the reason, nodded and agreed.
"Lan'er~" As soon as Shangguan Rumo's words fell, Qiao Zi's voice sounded at the door.
Hearing this, Ye Lan hurriedly stood up, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
"My mother boiled some boiling water for the guests to drink, can I come in now?" Qiao Zi asked while standing at the door.
"Come in."
"There is no tea at home, so we can only serve guests with boiled water, and I ask the two guests not to be surprised." Qiao Zi was allowed to enter the door by Ye Lan.
"Where, boiled water is good, I'm tired of Mrs." Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui both thanked politely.
"Boiled water nourishes the stomach, this is a high-level treatment in our family, and ordinary people don't have it." Ye Lan joked with a smile, and then looked at Qiao Zi,
"Mother, the two of them are eating here at noon today, you let Aunt Jinhua cook a few dishes, and then I'll get some sausages and eat them later."
I don't know how many people are curious about the sausages smoked on the hanging stove, even Qiao Zi is curious about what it tastes like, and now I can't help but feel the spirit when I hear that Ye Lan is going to bring it to entertain guests, can I finally know what the sausage tastes like, put the teapot on the table, Qiao Zi rushed and said,
"Okay, my mother will go and prepare now, and you can talk slowly."
Watching Qiao Zi leave the room, Ye Lan also poured herself a cup of boiling water, took a sip carefully, it was very warm, and somehow suddenly thought of seeing the announcement a few days ago, and immediately asked,
"Master, Brother Shangguan, is the Seventh Lord here?"
"Poof...... Ahem, what do you say? Unexpectedly, both tea drinking men choked.
Ye Lan didn't know why she looked at the two of them, "Didn't there be an announcement a few days ago that the emperor divided the northern land into the territory of the Seven Princes, and in the future he will be the king of our northern land, as a member of the northern land, I should care about it, didn't the last time I posted the announcement that I would arrive at the northern land in about half a month, I haven't entered the city these days, and no one in the village has entered the city, I don't know what the situation is in the northern city, has the king of the northern border arrived, what have you done after coming, what is the situation, Have you issued any policies that are unfavorable or beneficial to the people? ”
"Ahem, it is said that the king of the north has been here three days ago, very low-key, so far, probably only the lord of the official mansion has seen him, because the king of the north is relatively weak, coupled with long-distance fatigue, it seems that the old disease has attacked, and now he is recuperating in his own house, and no one is seen after the order, and the land of the north remains the same." Coughing dryly, Cheng Rui answered Ye Lan's question, and when she didn't notice it, a trace of weirdness flashed in her eyes.
As for Shangguan Rumo, he bowed his head and listened to Cheng Rui's introduction to the King of the Northern Realm, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"If you can't do something for the benefit of the people, then it's good to be sick like this, and it's good to not see the guests and do nothing." Ye Lan sighed when she heard this, she didn't expect this Northern King to be so weak,
"The current official lord is also a good official, and the northern city is also well managed, and the king of the northern realm likes to keep a low profile and not make trouble for the common people, which is good."
Somehow, Cheng Rui listened to Ye Lan's words and seemed to be a little displeased, "The little girl hates the King of the Northern Realm?" ”
"I don't know him, how can I hate him." Ye Lan looked at Cheng Rui in surprise, how did he come to this conclusion?
"Why do you want the King of the North to be bedridden for a long time?"
"It's not, it's a very painful thing to be tortured by illness, the seventh prince has a good family, but he doesn't have a good body, it's pitiful to think about, if he is a good person, I really hope that he can get better sooner, although this northern land is not good, but the environment is still good, as long as the requirements are a little lower, it is not bad to live a lifetime here, of course, if he has other ambitions, he can't say that." Ye Lan shook her head.
"The little girl sees the problem very thoroughly, and she deserves to be my apprentice, but the wall has ears, and some things can't be said like this, so you should pay attention to it in the future." Cheng Rui saw that Ye Lan said everything, and couldn't help but mention it, especially the people in the royal family, who were not allowed to talk about it casually.
"I naturally know, but because there are masters and big brothers sitting opposite, I will say it without hesitation."
So, do they mean to be trusted?
Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui both looked at Ye Lan with some surprise, their clear eyes did not contain the slightest impurity, but they made them such suspicious people look comfortable, and it is always a joy to be trusted, but I didn't expect that there was also their own share in this, Shangguan Rumo's face was crooked, and Cheng Rui was also slightly hooked at the corner of his mouth,
"Even if this is the case, we will dare to pay attention in the future, who dares to guarantee that we can't see whether there is anyone eavesdropping in the place."
"I understand, thank you master for mentioning it, I will pay attention to it in the future." Ye Lan naturally understands that as an ordinary person, you can't talk about people in the royal family casually.
"Actually, the Seventh Prince, it is said that he is still the most beautiful man in our Chu country, but I don't know if this is true or not." When he said this, Shangguan Rumo glanced at Cheng Rui with bad intentions.
Ye Lan noticed Shangguan Rumo's eyes, a trace of deep thought flashed in her eyes, thinking about what Cheng Rui had said before, a thought came to her mind, could it be that this Cheng Rui knew the Seven Princes? So on the surface, I want to mention myself, but in fact, I am also defending the Seventh Prince?
This is the end of the topic of the prince, Ye Lan changed the topic, talking about what she has been busy with recently, Shangguan Rumo said with interest, "It sounds interesting, you really asked someone to plant a hundred acres of land?" How many of your seeds can you harvest at that time, and how much can you harvest those vegetables? ”
"The seedlings have grown, at present, the growth is still good, many workers are amazed while working for me, as long as those seedlings are not destroyed, grow up smoothly, when the time comes, not to mention the quality, in terms of yield, I will be able to break the land in the north as a barren land, the plant yield is not high spell." Ye Lan looked confident.
"Look at you like this, I want to go to the field to see, and what kind of vegetable shed you have, but it's a whimsical idea, I've never heard of building a shed for a vegetable field, are you sure it's useful?"
"At least for today's rainfall, as well as the temperature in the morning and evening, as well as the wind every day, it is resistant." Ye Lan nodded,
"As long as it doesn't come very windy, I can knock down a tree, I should have no problem with the vegetable shed, you must know that when making the frame, I have spent a lot of thought, and then the piling is also very low, so that the workers are built very firmly, I have been busy with this thing for half a month, staring at them every day, never lazy, the quality is absolutely guaranteed, the worry is that the linen cloth is resistant to water and has a good demeanor."
"If according to your meaning, the temperature in the vegetable shed can be maintained at a suitable temperature for growing vegetables, then even in winter, you can still grow vegetables in the vegetable shed, in this way, not only for the northern land, I am afraid that for the entire Chu agriculture is a very great thing, I will go to the field with you to see if you grow vegetables in a while, whether the vegetable shed is useful or not, we will not discuss it for the time being, if your vegetables are really grown, it will be directly supplied to Juxian Lou in the future." Shangguan Rumo did not let go of any business opportunity, even if he didn't see the situation in Yelan at the moment, he wanted to shake all possible money-making opportunities in his hands.
"I have a cooperative relationship with Juxian Building, of course, I will give priority to supplying Juxian Building." Ye Lan smiled, as long as she could grow vegetables, she was not afraid that there would be no place to supply.
"What do you mean by priority, can't I buy it out?" Shangguan Rumo was not satisfied with Ye Lan's answer.
"You can't buy it out, first of all, I don't plan to sell it out, and secondly, a Juxian Building, I don't think I can eat all my dishes, of course, I may be able to eat it now, but not necessarily in the future, I will expand production."
"You're pretty confident in yourself." Shangguan Rumo quipped.
"It's nature."
"Well, priority is not bad." Shangguan Rumo loosened his mouth, in fact, he still didn't believe that Ye Lan could grow a dish that he couldn't eat in the Immortal Building.
"By the way, next time you buy it, by the way, bring me some garlic, ginger and other seeds back, bring more, I don't have it here, these are daily cooking condiments, very important, if I can grow them, it would be great, by the way, and taro, also help me get a little back, the more the merrier."
"You're so unkind to me." Shangguan Rumo couldn't help but look at Ye Lan with a smile, "Do you know how much it costs for me to transport back a basket of things?" ”
"I don't care about this, it's a big deal that you directly divide me into internal deductions." Ye Lan shook her head, her face was firm, and she looked a little unreasonable, but her eyes were shining and cunning, which was really annoying.
“…… All right. As soon as Shangguan Rumo heard that it could be divided into internal deductions, he immediately calmed down with a wrinkled face.
Chatting about the days always passed very well, Jin Hua and Qiao Zi were busy in the kitchen, and they made a few dishes, just waiting for Ye Lan sausages.
"Sit down here and I'll go to the kitchen."
"If I don't mind, I'd like to go." Shangguan Rumo was very curious about the things that came out of Ye Lan's mouth, and as for Cheng Rui, he directly said with his actions that he was going too.
"Okay." Ye Lan found that Cheng Rui didn't seem to like to talk when she took off the mask, if it weren't for the voice, she would never have heard it wrong, and the body shape was right, she really had to suspect that her master had been replaced.
Although the kitchen is relatively large, Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui tacitly understand that they are standing at the door at the same time, there are two women in the kitchen, if they go in, it will not be very similar, and they are familiar with Ye Lan, and they are not too familiar with the other two women, and it will be embarrassing to get too close.
Ye Lan entered the kitchen and asked Jin Hua to take down a sausage for herself, wash it, cut it and put it on a plate, seeing her like this, Jin Hua was a little surprised,
"Ye Lan, so you can eat it? It's been smoked on the stove, but it's still raw, and it's never cooked. ”
"No, it's just cutting the plate first, Aunt Jinhua will light the fire."
"Oh, okay." Jin Hua watched Ye Lan's movements intently.
Ye Lan put water in the pot, took a big bowl and put it upside down in the water, and then put the plate on it to ensure that the water would not get into the plate, and at the same time the sausage could be steamed.
"Aunt Jinhua, use low heat, don't be too big, the sausage is not good after boiling the water for a while."
"Okay." Jinhua understood that the fire was raised.
"Is that okay?" Shangguan Rumo stood at the door and watched Ye Lan's every move, and when she saw that she didn't plan to do anything after putting things in the pot, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, this sausage, you have to make it in advance, you can store it for a year after smoking, when you can eat it, take it out and wash it, everything, like I steamed it, or boil it directly in water, it's all done, you can eat it when it's cooked, don't put any seasonings, because before filling the meat, the seasonings have been put away." Ye Lan briefly told the two people about the origin of the sausage,
"Because it's made with pig intestines, and because it tastes very fragrant after it's done, it's called sausage, which is my name, and that's what it means."
"You've eaten it again, how do you know it's going to be delicious?"
"Doesn't my intuition work, I Qiao Yelan don't have any skills, I still have this talent."
Thinking of Yelan hot pot and spicy chicken, Shangguan Rumo wisely chose to shut up.
It's just a lot of Yelan sausages, Qiao Zi and Jinhua were busy serving the plates, Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui were embarrassed to do nothing, and they also rushed into the room with a plate.
Jinhua Qiao Zi gestured and made a relatively rich lunch, back to the pot meat, braised pork, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and then a pickled egg soup, plus Ye Lan sausage, although it sounds like there are only five dishes, but each dish is sufficient, definitely enough for a few people to eat.
Bringing all the meals to the table, Ye Lan pulled Jin Hua and Qiao Zi to avoid them, and looked at Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui, "Our family doesn't like any men and women to serve the table after eating, do you mind?" ”
Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui shook their heads again and again, they were here as guests, but they were not from their own home, and Ye Lan's eyes clearly revealed that if they dared to say that they would immediately drive them out of the house if they dared to mind her, where would they dare to mind?
"We don't have so many rules, just just be casual, just sit down together."
"I'm not hungry now, I'll eat later." How to say that they are also long-term workers, Ye Lan and Qiao Zi are actually their masters, usually they don't want to eat with them at the table, but when there are outsiders, it is not good, Jinhua has her own considerations, insists on giving Qiao Zi and Ye Lan a long face, and refuses to serve on the table.
"Okay, Aunt Jinhua, let you sit down, there are no outsiders here, the two of them are friends, you don't have to avoid it, and I said, you and I are in an employment relationship, our status is equal, you are not my servant, you don't have to follow the rules like a servant of a big family, otherwise I will call your name instead of Aunt Jinhua." Ye Lan looked at Jinhua firmly and did not allow her to go.
"Let's sit down together." Shangguan Rumo and Cheng Rui are both understanding people, although they are a little uncomfortable, but looking at Ye Lan's appearance, they took the initiative to invite.
At this moment, if you don't sit down, you will take Qiao, Jinhua moved to sit next to Qiao Zi, Ye Lan, Shangguan Rumo, and Cheng Rui sat down alone.
Although I already knew that Qiao Zi and Ye Lan had never taken their long-term workers as subordinates, and they were usually very polite to ask everyone to do things, but when they heard Ye Lan say this again, Jin Hua was still so moved that she couldn't help herself, afraid that everyone would see her red eyes and lower her head tightly to avoid being ugly.
"There seems to be another person out there."
"He doesn't have to go to the table." Ye Lan is good to her own workers, but Shangguan Rumo has no habit of dining with her own people.
"Is it the worker who usually sends water to him, Aunt Jinhua, please serve a bowl of rice and send some vegetables to that big brother." Ye Lan spoke.
