A leader of the men in black took a step closer and bowed his head slightly.

Respectfully said to Qian Junbao: "Lord, what are your orders? ”

Qian Junbao didn't turn around, but said lightly: "The guards around me have gone to do errands."

I called you here so that you could find a few people to change into their outfits and follow us in the carriage when the time comes. ”

"Yes!"

The man in black looked at the catchers in front of him again, and asked in a deep voice, "Lord, what about them?" ”

When Tian Zhutou heard this, his heart tightened.

Qian Junbao said in a cold voice: "You follow this head catcher back to Zhicheng, and arrest Cha Shaojian, the son of Cha Demin, the chief bookkeeper of Zhicheng, with him."

Then wait for the black armor army to enter the city in the evening, and then copy the Cha family!

Let the local prefectural ordinance decide the rest.

When I turn around, I will write you an 800-mile express to take away, and be sure to have someone send the express to the capital before the evening of the day after tomorrow. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!" With a wave of the leader's hand, the black shadow flashed a few times, and soon more than a dozen people disappeared.

The jaws of the catchers who witnessed this scene in front of them were about to drop in shock!

……

……

This was the end of the matter, and Ye Qing and his party soon left Zhicheng.

As for the fate of the main bookkeeper's family, I won't say much, but Fu Lao Goose heard that he accidentally broke a leg while walking and broke his front teeth.

When they returned to the new house of the Qian family in Chongyang, it was past noon.

Without alarming Ye Wenshan to come out, Ye Qing asked people to move the things they brought back into the warehouse, and some souvenirs were moved to the outhouse where she lived first.

The big guys were tired, too, and they had already eaten something in the wagon, so they weren't hungry.

A few people washed up and went back to the house to take a nap.

Ye Qing had only slept for less than half an hour when she was woken up by the laughter in the courtyard outside, she rubbed her eyes, turned her head and found that her side was empty again.

Turned over, sighed, and then put on the basin of cold water in the house, washed his face, and walked out casually with a bun.

Following the noisy voice, I saw a group of maids and maids, pouring red peppers into the big round dustpan to dry.

Under the shade of the trees, there are a few older mothers-in-law pounding garlic and chopping peppers, and there are more than a dozen large black jars under the table.

Ye Qing squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to block the sunlight in front of him, walked over and asked, "What are you doing with so many chili peppers?" ”

"Ah, Madame is here!"

"Hello ma'am!"

"I've seen Madame!"

Everyone hurriedly put down their work and began to say hello.

Ye Qing waved his hand and motioned for a servant woman named Granny Dou to come out and reply, "What are you doing chopping so many chili peppers on a hot day?" ”

"If Mrs. Hui speaks, today is the twelfth day of July!"

Ye Qing looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong with July 12?" ”

A little maid beside Granny Dou answered: "Mrs. Hui, today is the Chili Eggplant Festival, and the slaves and maids are making minced garlic and chili sauce."

Later, when it's done, I'll make dried eggplant! ”

"Uh, chili eggplant festival?" Ye Qing said in a daze, thinking that there is such a festival?

Granny Dou nodded and said, "Yes, today and tomorrow are days to make dried peppers and eggplants."

The night after tomorrow is the Yu Lan Festival, and after July 15, the big guys will start harvesting the grain. ”

Seeing that Ye Qing still looked ignorant, the little maid said again: "Madam, this is actually a festival of eating, in the evening we will make fried eggplant with chili peppers and stew with new potatoes, you can just wait and eat it then!" ”

Ye Qing recalled it and found that there is really such a custom in this local area, the cucumbers and beans in the vegetable field in the summer have begun to turn yellow and old, and they are basically used for seed retention, and there are fewer fresh vegetables that can be eaten.

At this time, new potatoes and eggplants are on the market in large quantities, and the peppers are all turning red.

When it's time to make chili peppers, the women of the countryside will meet to make chili peppers and dry eggplants.

Pick the red peppers and eggplants from the ground, wash them, blanch them in boiling water, and spread them out to dry.

Dry for one day, cut it that night, mix it with salt, and continue to dry it the next day, about four or five times in a row, until the moisture is dry, and it can be stored for a long time.

Over time, this has become a festival, and the way to celebrate it is very simple: in the evening, it is to make a variety of dishes with eggplant, peppers and potatoes.

Ye Qing came back to his senses and smiled: "You go on, when you want to cook at night, come and call me, and I will show my hand." It just so happens that eggplant, peppers, and potatoes are all my favorite foods. ”

The little maid immediately smiled sweetly: "Okay! ”

Ye Qing smiled at the little maid, "In the evening, remember to come and call me!" ”

"Yueyue has written it down!" The little maid responded smartly.

Ye Qing nodded, and walked towards the courtyard where Ye Wenshan lived with her hands behind her back, she just thought that Qian Junbao might be going to see her father.

When the sun set in the evening, the little maid Yueyue called Ye Qing to the kitchen.

At this moment, in addition to the smoky atmosphere in the kitchen, several women were still chattering non-stop.

Regarding Ye Qing's coming to the kitchen to cook, the cooks still have some small opinions.

After all, on the day the new home was moved, Ye Qing and Qian Junbao went to Jianzhou, and these cooks had never seen Ye Qing cook.

Some people haven't even seen Ye Qing yet.

But Ye Qing is the mistress of this Qian Mansion, and her identity is there, and the cooks don't dare to complain on their faces.

On the contrary, they all showed their housekeeping skills and made vegetables into flowers.

No, when Ye Qing came over, several cooks had already made seven or eight chili eggplant dishes:

There are scrambled eggs with chili, fried shredded pork with chili, stewed braised pork with eggplant, fried eggplant box, eggplant with garlic paste, eggplant shake chili with tea oil and dry fried chili flakes.

This is still because the Qian family is a rich family, and the cooks dare to make a lot of oil and meat, but if they are ordinary people, they dare not use too much meat and eggs, let alone fried eggplant boxes.

Looking at a few dishes, Ye Qing was not polite, took a pair of clean chopsticks and tasted them.

The taste is still passable, but the taste is a little heavy, and it is understandable that the ancients felt that eating salt can increase strength, and it is a happy thing to be able to eat more salt.

Among so many dishes, one of the most popular among the locals is the tea oil eggplant and chili pepper.

This is the most classic famous dish in Chongyang Town, as long as the people of Chongyang hear this dish, they are full of praise and applause;

When outsiders come to eat this dish, they all have an aftertaste.

This dish is spicy and fragrant, fragrant and spicy, the eggplant oil is soft and glutinous, the salty chili pepper is crispy and spicy, and the unique spice of garlic can make people eat a big bowl of rice.

A cook came up to me and asked, "Madam, what do you want to cook, the slave and maid are ready to prepare." ”

"Just bring me the cleaned eggplant, peppers, and potatoes first."

After a while, Ye Qing picked up the kitchen knife and began to get busy, and the women who were still muttering quietly before quickly closed their mouths, leaving only their eyes that were getting bigger and bigger.

Ye Qing's neat action of chopping vegetables, garnishes, spooning, throwing the pot and throwing vegetables for seasoning, made the people in the kitchen stunned.

By the time she cooked both dishes at the same time, there was only admiration left in the kitchen.

Half an hour later, Ye Qing made stuffed meat with chili, fried chili with black bean sauce and clove fish, tiger skin and green pepper drizzled in oil, fish-flavored eggplant pot, spicy potato strips, sweet and sour pork ribs with potatoes and so on.

Originally, she still wanted to make fish-flavored eggplant, but unfortunately there was no bean paste from Sichuan here, so she couldn't make that taste, so she gave up.

However, the dishes she made still amazed several cooks who were originally a little bit of Qiao.

There are even a few clever cooks who are paying attention to how Ye Qing cooks, thinking about learning a few dishes.

After dinner, the cups and plates were in a mess, and there was not half of the vegetables made by Ye Qing left, Ye Wenshan, Ye Xi and the others were still sitting at the table after eating, and none of them left, and they couldn't walk anymore.

In fact, Ye Qing's cooking was enough for ten people to eat, but after everyone was full, they still tried their best to stuff it into their mouths, and it was not until all the dishes she made were eaten that everyone willingly put down their chopsticks.

Ye Xi leaned back in the chair, wiped his mouth and said, "Sister, you must tell us the next time you go out for so long, I want to die of the dishes you cook these days!" ”

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "What should I do?" I'm going to go out again next month, and maybe for a long time! ”

"Ah......" Ye Xi wailed, but soon laughed again: "It's next month, that's okay."

Anyway, I don't want to go to the school after July 14th, the school has a long vacation!

And it has been until mid-September, hahahaha...... Wherever you go, I can follow you! ”

At this time, Ye Qing was stunned, and asked in surprise: "How can you take such a long vacation?" ”

Ye Xi smiled: "Sister, you forgot, our students under the age of twelve are supposed to have a two-month vacation from mid-July to September." ”

"Hmm! It seems to be. ”

At this time, the holiday is hot and busy, and in early September, it is because the autumn test is coming, and there is room for the older students.

Ye Wenshan answered: "You are going to Jianzhou next month?"

"Well, there are two patients over there who want us to come over, and there are still some things to buy, and maybe a trip to the north!"

Ye Wenshan was shocked: "Go to the north? ”

"Well, there are some things that you can't buy here, so you have to go there and buy them."

Ye Wenshan said disapprovingly: "Just let someone buy it back for you, the north is so far, it will take at least two months to go back and forth!" ”

Ye Qing smiled and took a sip of osmanthus sour plum soup, "Dad, let's take a big boat over."

I calculated that it would only take five days to get from Jianzhou to Penglai Island, and another ten and a half days and a half on the way off the boat would be enough for us to walk around in the north.

I estimate that in forty days we will be back, and if I find someone to rebuild the boat, we will be back and forth in a month. ”

When Ye Wenshan heard this, he didn't say anything more, but was interested in following along.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow I want to worship my ancestors, I want to go back to the old house, or will you go back with me?"

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't say anything, he said again: "If you don't go to the old mansion, then go to the third brother's house to stay."

Also, from tomorrow I will be staying at the old house until the Chinese New Year. ”

Ye Qing's eyes widened instantly, he looked at Ye Wenshan and asked, "Dad, you want to live in the old mansion until the New Year, why?" ”

Ye Xi pouted and said, "It's not grandma's trouble!"

She wanted to live here after eating the moving meal that day, but her father wouldn't let her, so she made a fuss.

also said that her father was not filial, and she would hang herself at the gate here! ”

"Huh? And such a thing! Ye Qing's mouth opened slightly, and he glanced at Qian Junbao beside him, who gave her a wry smile.

"No, sister, you don't know ......"

"Xi'er!" Ye Wenshan glared at his son, and Ye Xi had no choice but to close his mouth.

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Dad, your health is not good yet, living in the old mansion is not conducive to your physical recovery!"

If you really don't plan to live here, clean up the small courtyard at the north gate, and add another room for two servants to live in.

You and Ye Xi live together, right? When the time comes, it will be convenient for you to go to the academy! ”

Ye Wenshan shook his head and said, "The small courtyard near the academy is not enough, so I'd better go to the old mansion." ”

Ye Qing asked suspiciously: "How can it not be enough?" ”

Originally, there were four rooms, and if one more came out, there would be five, one for Ye Xi and his father.

The remaining one is for Dabao, one for Lan Gu, and one for the other two servants or guards, is that enough?!

"If I live in town, your grandmother will move in too.

Not to mention that the room is not enough, if the mother is not satisfied, the noisy will also affect Xi'er's reading. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Ye Qing, sighed and said, "It's all about money, there is no comparison, she won't make trouble!" ”

Ye Qing and Qian Junbao glanced at each other again, and they were a little embarrassed in their hearts, and asked, "Then, Dad, are you really going to move to the old mansion?" ”

Ye Wenshan nodded and said, "I've thought about it, I'll move to the old mansion, and when the time comes, I'll take a hundred taels of silver out and slowly renovate the old mansion."

There are mountains and rivers in the countryside, and maybe it will be good for my illness.

In addition, don't worry, after all, I am still your grandmother's biological son, and I know what she thinks in her heart, and I can still handle it. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qing could only smile bitterly and nodded.

It is unrealistic to ask Ye Wenshan to listen to himself completely and not take into account the old woman.

Ancient people attached great importance to filial piety, not to mention his biological parents, the Ye Jiang family, who had severed relations with her, so he could not give face.

Even if she did die, she wouldn't shed a single tear.

But Ye Wenshan can't do it, even if Ye Jiang's words about hanging himself at the gate are threats, it won't sound good to spread out.

If he does too much, he won't have to think about going to the academy in the future, and Xiucai's reputation may be abolished.

What I can do now is to try to let Ye Wenshan get over there and live a more comfortable material life.

If Ye Jiang's family could not be so noisy, in fact, she would give her some affection for Ye Wenshan's face.

With hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, nothing that silver can solve now is a problem.

If it is really necessary, Ye Wenshan wants to give Ye Jiang's family a few hundred taels of silver, or build a big house, she will not care.

Originally, the silver before was also Ye Wenshan's, as long as it did not exceed her bottom limit, she would turn a blind eye to whatever he wanted to do.

The next day, the sky was clear.

Ye Qing asked someone to load a carriage of local products brought back from Jianzhou and Zhicheng, and took Ye Wenshan and Ye Xi to Xiushui Village together.
