Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sending Charcoal

It's just that it was more than ten years ago, and she has forgotten the structure of that thing in her mind, and the reason why she can still remember the general outline is because she was curious that day, and she also helped shake the corn for several days, until her hands were blistered, and finally lost her interest. (倩倩Chinese.)

Because she tried to say this thing, but Yun Niang and Zhong Nan didn't understand it, Ruan Yunsi had no choice but to give up.

It was easy for the four of them to work together, and finally before the tenth day of the new year, they drove out all the rents and military rations to be sold, and the remaining hundreds of catties of corn cobs were to be kept for their own food, so there was no need to worry. Seeing that the people from the government entered the village, they set up a stall to collect grain at the big landlord Cheng's house, Ruan Yunsi watched the villagers transport bags of grain to Cheng's house, she was really tired, so she pulled Yun Niang and said: "That's it, let's not Chapter 79: send charcoal to catch up with this excitement, and Ming'er will put the grain in a sack and sell it." ”

Yun Niang smiled: "No wonder I asked you to farm before, saying that it was better than weaving, but you refused." Now it seems that it is not only because of your craftsmanship, but also because you are really not qualified for this farm work, so you should go back to weaving, and Nan Ge'er Xiu and I will first load seventy bags of grain and sell them. ”

At that time, it was almost dusk, and as soon as Ruan Yunsi heard that it was just such a little time, and she had to load seventy bags of grain to sell, her body softened by half, and she shook her head and said: "That's it, I really can't earn my life to help you, I'll go back to cook, let's make a big pot of rice today, and stew a pot of kidney beans, potatoes, bones, and sticks, and you come back and eat a full meal." ”

Yun Niang and the others agreed, and Ruan Yunsi went home and stewed kidney beans and potatoes with bone sticks. I also steamed the rice in the pot where the leaf blend mordant was refined on weekdays, because these are all natural plants, and there are no harmful substances such as chemical raw materials, so I don't need to dye the cloth every time. This cauldron is brushed clean and can still be used for cooking.

When I went out to see the sun, it was almost on the side of the mountain. Ruan Yunsi suddenly moved her head today, and went down to the ice cellar to take a few squid, and the noodles were thin, Chapter 79: Sending charcoal with salt and meat residue and green onion stumbled, and oil was also poured into the cauldron outside, and some squid rings and Chinese shrimp were fried (a kind of pasta in the countryside, that is, some seasonings are put in the noodles. Fried in oil, before it was put shrimp skin, so it was called Chinese shrimp, our family is put meat scraps, and the taste is also very good. Wait until the fire is lived. saw Yun Niang, Zhong Nan and Zhong Xiu also returned.

At that moment, Zhong Xiu hugged Ruan Yunsi and said weakly: "Sister Su Ri only said that she was tired of weaving cloth and didn't let me catch up, but now you know?" If this farm work is rushed, it will be worse than weaving. ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled: "No, now I also know what it's like, otherwise I can make so many good things to reward you?" Okay, let's eat, Brother Nan will wash his hands first. One sentence scared Zhong Nan, who wanted to secretly catch a piece of Chinese shrimp to eat, away.

Although the weather was cold, several people were covered in sweat. Ruan Yunsi had already taken a shower when she came back, and water was boiling in the cauldron outside, so everyone took a bath before they went to the table to sit down, looking at the food on the table, their eyes were glowing green.

Zhong Nam Zhong Xiu and Yun Niang haven't eaten fried squid rings and Chinese shrimp yet, so they eat it at this time. It was really fragrant and soft, and the fragrance was abnormal, so I couldn't help shouting that it was delicious, and begged Ruan Yunsi to make some more on the second day. Her cooking skills were affirmed, and Ruan Yunsi was naturally very happy, so she agreed.

One meal, four people, just like the wind and clouds, especially when Zhong Nan is growing his body, the amount of food is even more terrifying. In the end, there was only a small bowl of rice and two potatoes left, and several people were tired, so Zhong Xiu cleaned up the table quickly, and Yun Niang laid out the kang quilt, and here Ruan Yunsi said to Zhong Nan: "Brother Nan from today don't go back to Yun Niang's house, just sleep in the West House, the weather is getting colder day by day, beware of cold winds when running back and forth." ”

Zhong Nan said while wearing a padded coat: "I have to go back to watch these days, although it is okay to say that the people in our village are okay, I am afraid that there are people from other villages, once someone comes to steal food, I still have a deterrent at home, and when the food is sold out, I will come to sleep again." ”

Ruan Yunsi thought about it and made sense, so she didn't say anything, and let Zhongnan go by himself. Here she and Yun Niang were lying on the hot kang, burning their backs warm and comfortable, Yun Niang said in a daze: "Sister, you said that our food here this year is used as military food, is it the help of the little grandfather?" Otherwise, how can such a good thing be spread on our heads? ”

"How do I know? You don't care about this, you can make money if you have it. Ruan Yunsi grunted, closed her eyelids, and pulled the quilt up to cover her shoulders, and her breathing was even.

"I think it's the little grandfather who helped us speak, in fact, he has a lot of heart for you, I can see it, it's just that he is like that......" Yun Niang also squinted and muttered, didn't hear Ruan Yunsi answer, turned her head and found that the other party had already fallen asleep, she couldn't help laughing: "Really, talking about you, you fell asleep." It seems that I am worried in vain, but I also sleep, and I am more tired than you. After saying that, he yawned, rolled over and fell asleep.

On the second day, the weather was sunny, Yun Niang and Zhong Nan and the others continued to be busy loading and selling grain, Ruan Yunsi really didn't want to move, thinking that she would help until now, which would be considered benevolent and righteous, so she weaved cloth at home, just let Zhong Xiu also go over to help. When it was close to noon, I remembered that Yun Niang and others liked to eat fried squid rings and Chinese shrimp, so I took out the materials and prepared them, and specially steamed rice, and then made rice balls, and it happened that there was a tofu seller on the street, so I bought two catties, and stewed a big pot with vermicelli cabbage and meat slices.

was busy working, suddenly heard someone shouting in front of the street, as soon as he heard the familiar voice, Ruan Yunsi's hands trembled, almost cut off his fingers, and when he hurriedly went out to look, he saw Su Mingxi followed by more than a dozen family members, driving two big carriages, and the firewood and charcoal loaded on the cars were at least a few thousand catties.

For Su Mingxi's repeated favors, Ruan Yunsi is already powerless, anyway, he said that he didn't want the other party to listen, and he sent it to the door himself, but this time the charcoal was a little too much? So I had to open the street door and say shamefully: "What is this for?" Sue...... Why did Su Gongzi send so much? We are a family of four, where can we use it up? ”

"If it's just an ordinary life, you can't use it up, but you still have to dye cloth, can you run out of it? I didn't come here to send these things to the girl, the person who collected the military rations yesterday should have arrived? I followed the emperor's order and deliberately went down to see if there was any corruption and deduction, but I don't know where the place to collect military rations is? I hope the girl will give me some pointers. ”

Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "I see, a few days ago, Yun Niang and I received a letter, and we guessed how the fat difference of this year's military rations came to us?" Now it seems that the little grandfather must have spoken in the yamen? β€œ

Su Mingxi said with a smile: "Girl, what I mean, it seems that I am favoritism because of human affection." Yes, I handed over the words, but it wasn't for you, I have been here no less than a dozen times this year......" Seeing Ruan Yunsi's eyes widen, the little grandfather coughed, and said with a slight sadness in his tone: "Why should the girl be surprised? I don't come to you every time, although by now, this cheek has been exercised a lot thicker, but it is not impenetrable. ”

Ruan Yunsi's face turned red, knowing that Su Mingxi knew in his heart that he was not welcome him, so he secretly complained. She tried her best to pretend to be calm and didn't understand, Su Mingxi is also an interesting person, only nodded a little and then stopped mentioning it, and continued: "Because I have come and gone so many times, I see the crops in the field are green, it is really gratifying, you have good rain here this year, so the grain is good." So a few days ago, I mentioned it to Zhen Shangshu, and he sent someone here to check around, and I think it's okay. That's why I decided to harvest grain here, but it doesn't really have much to do with me. ”

Ruan Yunsi thought to herself, it doesn't matter, why did you still come over to check if there was any favoritism? Is this your concern? has doubts on her face, but she refuses to say it in her mouth, but the little maid next to Su Mingxi, Mingyan and Sweeping Shu, are all people with clear eyebrows, where can you not see her doubts? At that moment, Ming Yan smiled and said: "The girl doesn't know, this matter was later known to the emperor, the emperor praised our little grandfather very much, saying that others go out to have fun just to have fun, only our little grandfather, you can still think about the national economy and people's livelihood during the fun, this is very good, so let our little grandfather also supervise, no, the master has no choice but to come." Otherwise, everyone knows that there must be a little cat in this matter, as long as it doesn't make a big fuss, who doesn't turn a blind eye? Now that the master has a holy order, he has to come over, even if he pretends to be, he always has to pretend. ”

Ruan Yunsi understood in her heart, it turned out that Su Mingxi came this time to go through the motions. Because he didn't want to say more, he pointed to the east end of the village and said: The tolerance used the large yard of the landlord's house, and the son walked forward and saw that there were many people in line, as if the people in other villages heard about this and also ran over, but they didn't know whether the tolerance would accept their grain. ”

Su Mingxi said with a smile: "Although it seems that the border is in danger now, but the north and west of Daning are strong enemies, and now that the army is strong, they dare not act rashly, once they are weak, they will definitely take advantage of it." Therefore, for so many years, the emperor only went to the border to increase troops, never cut, the need for this grain and grass can be imagined, although it is in Xiaowang Village to collect grain, but as long as the people of Sili Township come, tolerance will not refuse. After speaking, he glanced at the east of the village, and said with a smile: "I saw the grain truck, and it was lined up here, what a big scene." Then I went, and the girl would take them here to unload the charcoal. (To be continued) RQ!!
