Chapter Ninety-Three: The Grange Increases Production
"Miss Daddy?" Zeng Budo smiled happily with his beautiful hair, "I'll fry a few good dishes for my dad that night." ”
"That's a must," Banniang said with a smile, glanced at Zeng Budo, and found that Daddy was dark and thin, so she was a little distressed, "Daddy, you've only been out for a few days, and you've lost weight like this!" You don't have to go again this time, do you? I will make you good food every day in the future, and raise your body well. ”
Over there, the Zhu family scolded: "Eighth sister, look at you, why is it that the older you get, the more you look like you?" It's that Xiao Ten is better than you. ”
Banniang said in her heart: How can a lively and lovely little beauty like me compare with Xiao Shi's ghost girl who has a black belly when she is a child. But she didn't dare to bring it out on her face, and when she saw Zhu scolding her, she only grinned and said, "I know, I will definitely change it in the future." ”
Afraid that Zhu would continue to talk about her, he left Zeng Budo's arms: "Daddy, I'll go to the kitchen to see, what do you want to eat?" I'm going to do it. ”
Zeng Budo waved his hand: "Everything else is okay, don't forget to cook me a dish of salted peanuts." ”
Daddy, I'm going to have some wine.
Banniang answered, and went to the kitchen, where Wu and Qi Niang were busy. Seeing Banniang, she smiled and asked, "Are you back?" Have you ever seen your father? ”
"I just came out of the main house, and my mother scolded me for not being good, and I was not as good as Xiao Shi, so I escaped. By the way, my dad called boiled dishes and salted peanuts, probably because he wanted to drink some wine, do you still have wine at home? ”
Because Mr. Chen was there, every three or five days, he would send a pot of wine, which was always available at home, so Wu said, "There is still a jar of wine." ”
Banniang helped Qi Niang pick up vegetables and asked what she planned to do at night.
Now that there are few people in the family, dinner is simple, because Zeng Bu came back, Wu specially prepared a few more dishes, which can be regarded as washing the dust for his father-in-law.
Qi Niang is actually good at cooking now, and Banniang has a lot of time to give her a hand, because her father came back, she rolled up her sleeves and said to Qi Niang: "Seventh sister, I'll take charge of the spoon today." ”
Qi Niang smiled and gave her a place, and when the moon was over, the whole yard was full of the aroma of food.
Zeng Budo asked Jue'er to go to the society next door and invite Chen Lanyu to come over and have a few drinks together. Chen Lanyu heard that Master Zeng was invited, and he was also happy.
Because there were outsiders, the three of Wu's aunts and sisters-in-law served the food, and the two sisters-in-law ate in the inner room with Zhu. The Wu family was in charge of adding food and serving food, and also went to the inner room.
Zhu said: "I heard Jiulang say that Mr. Chen teaches very seriously, and the children in the school house also like it very much." He is alone again, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and I see that Mr. is also wearing thin clothes, when you are free, go to the ready-to-wear shop and buy two changes of cotton clothes for Mr. Chen. He is a man's family, and he may not have thought of it. ”
Wu responded.
Zhu asked about Banniang going out with Miss Lu Fu today, because of the matter of opening a restaurant, Zeng Zigu said and agreed with Zeng Budo before, and Banniang did not hide it, and went to Lu Fu every day to teach those cooks some time ago, and Zhu also knew.
I heard that the shop of the restaurant has been bought, just waiting for the dress to be business, although Banniang is capable, Zhu is also afraid that she will not be able to stand up to the problem of a little girl, in the end she is not at ease, but her own master also nodded and agreed, she didn't say much, so she told Banniang: "It just so happens that your father is also back, if there is something, ask more." The restaurant is not a small restaurant, don't be careless. ”
Banniang smiled: "This is natural, I am actually just teaching people to cook, and the specific things in the restaurant are also managed by the seventeenth brother of the Lu family." Mother just don't believe me, and should believe my fifth brother, the seventeenth brother of the Lu family is a good friend of the fifth brother, although the wind is not good, but the person is the best and capable, I heard the fourth sister Lu said that the grange he placed in the countryside in front of him, only two seasons, there was a bumper harvest, and the yield was one-third higher than the average yield per mu, according to him, I still thought that I would have to be free in a few days, invite Lu Seventeen to the family, and have a good chat with my father, if there is any good way, maybe our family's grange can also be done. One acre of land increases the yield by one-third, and our family also has more than 200 acres of land. ”
By what she said, both the Zhu family and the Wu family were attentive, and hurriedly said: "Really? That's really time to ask for advice. ”
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and the meal was good, Wu and Qi Niang packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, Banniang teased Xiao Shi while coaxing Xiao Shi, and saw that Xiao Shi has been getting more and more like a day recently, so he smiled and said: "Mother, why do I think Chu'er has gained weight recently?" Looking at it, it's better than the tenth sister. ”
This time, Xiao Shi didn't sing against her, and the most favorite Xiao Shi Yunchu in the family was Xiao Shi Yunzhen, listening to Banniang's words, while opening Banniang's hand that was pinching Xiao Shiyi's tender face, he said: "Of course, our Chu Er is the most beautiful." ”
Zhu also smiled on the side: "Isn't it the same every day?" By this time next year, I'll probably be able to call you sister. ”
"Mother, what you said is true?" Xiao Shi Niang was so happy when she heard it, she was originally counted as small in the family, this time someone finally called her sister, and the feeling of pride suddenly arose, and she felt more and more that she had a heavy burden on her shoulders, she was a sister, and she had to hurt Xiao Eleven the most in the future.
"That's not a real deal." Zhu shook his head with a smile.
Xiao Shi didn't believe it: "Eleventh sister will definitely be able to walk and talk again next year." I don't believe it, wait and see, our little eleven is so smart, I told her a joke this morning, and she still giggled. ”
Banniang pouted: "If she can understand your jokes, it's weird." ”
As soon as these two girls get together, they pinch each other. Zhu was helpless, and said to Banniang: "Eighth sister, you go and bring some water, I'll wash Chu'er, she hasn't slept for half a day, and I think I'm about to sleep." ”
Banniang got the order. Zhu asked Xiao Shi to coax Yun Chu again, and he took the time to take out the dirty clothes that Zeng Budo brought back, and soaked them, and washed them tomorrow morning.
When Zeng Budo and Chen Lanyu's wine game was dispersed, it was already the moon setting in the west, and the night in October was very cold, Mr. Chen was wearing thin, Banniang thought, so she went to Erzeng's house and turned over an old cotton coat and sent it over, and put it on for Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen smiled and thanked him, and praised Zeng Budo: "The eighth lady in the house is really smart, I heard that the bibliography of the books in the house is sorted out by the eighth lady, I often have to borrow a few books, just ask Jiulang or Zeng Jue to find the bibliography, it is very trouble-free." ”
The daughter was praised, and Zeng Budo felt that the old face was bright, but she said humbly: "She is just idle and has nothing to do." ”
Because both of them drank a little high, Banniang called Jue'er over, helped Mr. Chen back to the hospital, and asked Jiulang to bring hot water to wash for Mr.
The next day, Banniang received 260 guan money from the Wu family, and sent 240 guan from Wu Sanniang to Xu 13 to Lu Mansion.
I told my father about Lu Seventeen's Grange increase in production, and I was really interested in hearing it, if it can really increase production, can I say that Lu Seventeen is willing to promote this method of increasing production, and it is not a good thing for the country and the people?
said to Banniang: "When I am free one day, invite him here, I want to have a good talk with him." That's a great thing. ”
Thinking that if Lu Seventeen could get his father's approval, it would be much easier for him to interact with him in the future, Banniang hurriedly responded: "I knew that my father would want to see him, Xu Thirteen just helped me with my errands, went to the Lu Mansion, and asked him to give a message to the seventeenth brother of the Lu family." ”
After talking to his father for a while, Xu Shisan went back to the house, came back and talked back, saying that Lu Qiqi would come tomorrow when he was free. Zeng Budo thought that if the Lu family's grange was not a fluke, but there was a real way, then he should think of persuading Lu Seventeen to do a righteous act that would benefit the country and the people.
Banniang talked to her father for a while, and then went back to the house to be busy designing the floor plan of the restaurant, as well as all kinds of tables, chairs and benches.
The next day, Lu Seventeen came to visit Zeng's house early in the morning, Zeng Budo personally welcomed him into the study, the two of them really chatted until noon, and Baniang urged him to eat a few times, and Zeng's father led Lu Seventeen out of the study with a smile on his face.
And said to Banniang very happily: "Go to the east courtyard and invite Mr. Chen too, my father is happy today, I will make an exception at noon and have a few drinks with Lu Xian's nephew." ”
Lu Qiqian said: "Uncle, my nephew is not good at drinking. ”
Father Zeng glared: "A dignified man, how can you not be good at drinking?" ”
Banniang secretly grimaced at Lu Seventeen, and said in her heart that this guy can really pretend. Lu Qiqi also secretly smiled at her.
Banniang went to the East Courtyard at this time.
