Chapter 007

Ying Furong did not waste the layer of oil on the cauldron, quickly kneaded the black and white flour, and spread a big cake on the lard.

At this time, the yield of wheat is not high, and the price of fine white flour is high, and most ordinary people will buy a black flour mixed with white flour, which is affordable and the taste will not be too bad.

Take out the flatbread and put a small half spoonful of water in the pot and wait for it to boil. The flatbread was cut in half, half of which was put into a basket and hung up, and the remaining half, cut into small pieces, was thrown into boiling water and boiled into gnocchi.

When Ning Fang came back, the noon meal had already been prepared, and Ning Fang washed her hands and prepared to bring two bowls of gnocchi soup with pickles to the stone table in the small courtyard.

There is a tall and lush acacia tree in the precincts, which is lush and green. When the breeze blows, it will make a rustling sound, which is very good. The sun shines through the dense foliage and sprinkles on the ground.

There is a round stone table under the acacia tree, and there are 4 round stone benches around the stone table, and the acacia tree can just shade the sun when sitting here at noon.

Ying Furong wiped her hands and followed behind Ning Fang, raised her hand to cover the dazzling sunlight, and said, "The sun is poisonous at this time, should we go into the house?" ”

"It's okay, there's a shade under the tree, and there's a hint of breeze, so it's good to get in the shade." Ning Fang carried two bowls of hot pimple soup and walked quickly, but after a few steps, she reached the foot of the acacia tree and placed the hot bowls on the two adjacent positions on the stone table.

Ying Furong took off her bib and sat down, saying, "Xianggong came back late today." ”

Ning Fang handed the chopsticks to Ying Furong and replied, "Well, there are more things in the house today. After Ning Fang waited to receive the chopsticks, she also sat down on the stone bench and drank the soup first.

Ning Fang gave Ying Furong a thumbs up and praised: "Well, the gnocchi cooked by the lady is so delicious!" "Ying Furong is a little embarrassed.

After eating lunch, Ning Fang didn't rest, taking advantage of Ying Furong to put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen to clean, she also went into the kitchen and brought the bamboo slices soaked in the kitchen to the acacia tree, sat on the stone bench and made a small dustpan.

Ying Furong's craft of making a small dustpan was still learned from Ning Fang.

Ning Fang's family makes bamboo products for a living, and when she was a child, Ning Fang often followed her father to compile it, and over time, she did better than Han's father. Later, when the Han family's parents died, Ning Fang took Ying Furong to the capital, and at first she also relied on the skills of the dustpan to eat.

"Xianggong, you go and rest, I'll leave these things to do in the afternoon." Ying Furong washed the dishes and chopsticks at noon, and saw that Ning Fang was still making a small dustpan under the acacia tree, so she couldn't help but persuade her.

"It's okay, it's so hot that people can't sleep, it's better to be cool and cool outside!" Ning Fang didn't raise her head and continued the work in her hands.

Ying Furong responded with a smile: "This year is hotter than in previous years. ”

Ying Furong paused, looked at Ning Fang and stopped talking.

Ning Fang glanced at Ying Furong and asked, "What does the lady have to say?" Then without waiting for Dr. Furong, he lowered his head and continued to make the dustpan, turning it over with his big hand dexterously, and weaving an ending to the dustpan in his hand.

"Well, it's just a rumor." Ying Furong said goodbye to the back of her ears and continued: "This King Kang seems to want to dismiss the guests of the palace, has the prince heard of it?" ”

Ning Fang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the news outside was quite well-informed. But he didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and took four or five more with his usual face, and this time planned to make a sieve.

"So, is that true?" Ying Furong's eyes flickered, and if she was dismissed, it would be a good thing.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't had a specific directive yet." Ning Fang really didn't care about the dismissal of the doormen, but he was just looking for a new job, and no matter how bad he was to do a small business, he would always starve to death. In his cognition, he doesn't think it's bad to be in business, and he doesn't think that being a literati is necessarily good.

In her previous life, Ying Furong lived in sadness and anxiety every day, trying her best to know Ning Fang's whereabouts every day, and did not pay attention to the situation of the palace guests, so it was not clear whether the doormen were dismissed and when they were dismissed.

Now the news of being dismissed is still heard by her when she returned home today.

"Do you have any plans?"

Ning Fang smiled and comforted Ying Furong, raised the dustpan in her hand and said: "After being dismissed, the worst thing is to make a dustpan to beg for a living, the lady is relieved, and she has her own plans for her husband." ”

Ying Furong was not worried, smiled and replied: "It's just to ask, I'm the least worried about the whereabouts of my father-in-law, I think it's good to be dismissed." It's just that we want to prepare in advance, and if we are dismissed, we must not find a place to put our feet first? ”

"If we are dismissed, the palace should explain in advance, and we will not be ruthless enough to drive us away immediately." Ning Fang put the half-made dustpan next to the stone table, and poured a cup of tea for Ying Furong and herself: "However, it's good to prepare early!" Lady rest assured. ”

"It's hard to say, given that person's temperament, we should be prepared in advance." Ying Furong pursed her lips, took the teacup handed over by Ning Fang and took a sip.

Ning Fang sounded a little funny, but what Ying Furong said was not unreasonable, that person was far away in the sky, and he had nothing to do with us, but the guests of this palace were just recruited by him to follow the example of other people, if you want to say that you will be driven away directly after dismissal, it is just an order from him.

Thinking like this, Ning Fang felt a little anxious, and the speed of the compilation in her hands became faster and faster.

If Ning Fang was not worried about Ying Furong showing up outside, it was because of her beauty. Now, this problem has been solved very well, and Ning Fang raised her hands in favor of Furong's disguise.

In the following days, the two were even busier.

Ying Furong went out with Ning Fang every morning, and took a few small dustpans to the street to set up a stall for a while. Every day, when the dustpan is sold, I will walk around to see if there is anyone who needs to be busy and turn some small merits.

However, this peaceful life is not every day that people need help, but it is all some trivial things in life, such as some things that are easy to do, and there is no merit point.

The dustpan made by Ying Furong's family is of better quality than most of the ones on the market, and the price is cheap, so many regular customers are willing to buy it here in Ying Furong.

Like the wives of the royal guests, they will often come to Furong's house as guests, gossiping and buying dustpans and sieves.
