Hearing the eldest girl call Xiaoshan her little uncle, Shen Anan couldn't help but laugh secretly, because there was indeed a teenage difference between her and Xiaoshan, and Xiaoshan was the youngest uncle.

"Do you know who the master went out with?" Ask the eldest girl Li Sheng what she is doing, she definitely doesn't know. If you ask who Li Sheng is going out with in the morning, you may be able to know what Li Sheng is doing today.

After such a big incident happened yesterday, Shen Anan thought that Li Sheng would say something to him when he came back, but he didn't say anything to himself, but comforted her that she didn't have to care about anything.

In this way, Shen Anan was even more unsettled.

Li Sheng is reporting good news but not bad news, and he will definitely not tell Shen Anan about bad things. Thinking that the two of them didn't say a few words last night, he fell asleep.

"Madam, the slave doesn't know." After speaking, she paused again, "However, there is one thing that the slave maid does not know whether to tell Madame or not. ”

"You've said it all, and you're trying to tell me. However, I am afraid of what the consequences will be. Right? ”

I saw that the eldest girl nodded hurriedly, and her eyes widened, obviously thinking that Shen Anan was very right.

"Don't worry, I won't say it, you can just tell me."

"The eldest girl believes in Madame, but I'm afraid that the master will scold me if he finds out."

This has something to do with the master? Shen An'an, who originally looked relaxed, also had a little more caution on his face.

"You say, I'll come in as one ear, and the other ear goes out."

Then the eldest girl whispered in Shen An'an's ear, Shen An'an listened, the expression on her face did not change, and said to her: "I know, you go and call the coachman, let's go back later." ”

"Master Chen is already waiting at the door, just waiting for you."

"Hmm." Shen Anan and the others brought all the things they needed to bring, and then got into the carriage with the eldest girl.

"When the eldest girl went out today, she took Qingzi out?"

"No, I saw that Brother Qingzi went out early in the morning and didn't go with the master."

Shen Anan listened and did not speak again.

Along the way, Shen Anan casually asked the eldest girl about the things in the mansion in the past few days, except for the Wang family, everything else was quite normal. But other things in the house, what can you say to a girl.

And the eldest girl is not like Sanniang, her mind is very simple, and she believes everything others say.

"Madam, do you think I can write these words well?" It's rare for the eldest girl to go out alone with Shen An'an once, and she has done a lot of work. As he spoke, he took out a pamphlet from his side, on which a lot of Arabic numerals from 1 to 10 were densely written.

"Big girl is so attentive, let me see." While speaking, Shen Anan took the booklet in the uncle's hand and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he nodded. This booklet is about forty or fifty pages long, and it is full of big girls, and it is written crookedly from the beginning, not like numbers at all. to the back slowly become neat.

When Shen Anan turned to the last one, he found that the Arabic numerals written on it were already nine points like that.

"Big girl, you are great, you write very well, I believe that as long as you persevere, you will write a lot of words in the future, and even settle accounts." After reading the very serious notes written by the eldest girl, Shen Anan felt that he seemed to underestimate the determination of these little maids.

In fact, they also want to learn, they also want to be motivated, and they also want to be able to be independent like men. Shen Anan felt that he had to hurry up and get the character class up.

The affairs of the Women's and Children's Bureau should have been almost prepared. She has to speed up the pace of doing things one by one, if the Li family really has a problem, she has to find a new breakthrough to solve the current dilemma.

Shen Anan was thinking about his own affairs, his mind was spinning quickly, but he was very happy to see the big girl next to him. "Really? Madam, is it okay for a big girl? But I don't know a word. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you study hard, you can do the same well."

Shen Anan felt that it was necessary to cultivate a group of her own people, and now there are few maids in the house that she can look at, either following Man'er and the previous maids to learn to cheat and play tricks, or they are not clever enough to do things.

A good helper who is satisfied can be worth ten ordinary maids. Let's take the interrogation that day, there are really not many powerful people in this house, they are all soft bones, and she doesn't need any such people.

The eldest girl and the second girl are not bad, the most important thing is that these sisters are still worthy of their duty and loyal enough to her. Since you want to use people, you have to use them well, like Zhao Chunhua, she will never meet again.

"As long as Madame doesn't dislike the big girl, I will definitely study hard."

The master and servant talked all the way, and soon arrived at Taoyuan Village.

Seeing that her daughter came back with a maid and a big bag, Cao's happy eyes narrowed together.

"Mother, this is the best cotton yarn I bought for you, this is used to make cotton clothes to keep warm, this is the best material, it is very comfortable to wear."

"This is the spice I brought for you, didn't you say you were going to open a shop, and they are all ready for you."

Shen Anan said as he put the big bags in front of Cao, and Cao's tears of excitement were about to flow out.

"Hey, it's better for me to be a third girl, I'm busy all day long, and it's rare to plan for my father." As Cao spoke, he shouted into the house, "Father, child, hurry up and give Nizi the dish we made to taste." ”

Hearing Cao's words, Shen Anan knew that the two of them were probably also studying the braised vegetables in the past two days.

"Mother, what about Xiaoshan, why didn't you see others?"

"That kid went out to play with other kids again."

"Mother, today I actually came to take Xiaoshan to private school, he is not young now, and he is about to start studying. Then I want to tell you that I am going to let Xiaoshan stay with me for a while, so that I can urge him to study on weekdays, so that he will not have to run around all day. ”

So the eldest girl said that she went out to look for her, and seeing that she had a bit of eyesight, Shen Anan told her about the appearance of Xiaoshan. The eldest girl immediately said: "Madam, don't worry, the eldest girl can still find someone." "As soon as you ask, you know.

"Okay, then you can go."

Seeing that the girl left, Cao grabbed Shen An'an's arm and said, "Nizi, you are going to take Xiaoshan back to live, does our aunt have any opinions?" His big family, plus a small mountain, is terrible is not very convenient. ”

In ancient times, men and women were guarded, even if they were sisters and brothers, they could not live in the same house, like a large family, and they were even more exquisite. Therefore, the Cao family is not blindly ignorant, and she is also worried that after Xiaoshan goes, it will bring trouble to Shen An'an.

"Mother, this idea was put forward by Ah Sheng himself, and the matter of the private school was also Zhang Luo's by him. Don't think about it, I'm definitely going to take it away today.

Besides, if Xiaoshan is really promising, you will have something to rely on when you are old in the future. ”

"But our brother is only so big, can he do it?" Cao suddenly thought that Xiaoshan was leaving him to study, and he suddenly felt very reluctant. This is her youngest son, the baby egg on the point, and she is really reluctant to leave them at such a young age.

Shen Anan thought of enlightenment education and began to brainwash Cao's again. "Mother, you have to start learning from an early age, don't look at children as small, but they have flexible brains and good memory, so from elementary school, it will be of great benefit to him in the future."

Of course, Cao knew that what Shen Anan said was reasonable, but when he thought of a child as old as him, he said that he would leave if he left, and it hurt in his heart.

"Hey, look at what kind of sin I have created, four children, all of them are at home. Originally, if you got married and your brother went to the army, our family would be deserted enough. Now if Brother Shan is not even by our side, what will your father and I do? ”

"Mother, don't you still have a father, and your braised vegetable restaurant? If your business really starts, you will be busy in the future. Besides, even if Brother Shan doesn't study now, he still has to study in the future. If he is given to him now, it is better to send him to the school as soon as possible, so that he can adapt to this reading environment as soon as possible. ”

"I'm really afraid of you, your mouth is so good at talking, and you have nothing to say. I really doubt that you are still my third daughter? ”

Shen Anan hurriedly hugged Cao's arm, and the mother and daughter seemed very affectionate. "Yes, of course it is, you are my mother, you can't run in this life."

"Seeing that the child is not doing right, her father, let it go here quickly."

Shen Sanlang listened to Cao's instructions, and hurriedly came out with a large pot of meat from the house, and Shen Anan took a look, there were quite a lot of varieties. There are chicken gizzards, chicken, duck meat, duck intestines, and goose paws, which are basically meat, and there are no braised side dishes.

It's just that they are now in the experimental stage, and many things have not yet been figured out. And the meat is easier to preserve, in case it is not delicious, your own family can still eat it.

"I've prepared so much, did you guess that I would come back today?" Shen Anan picked up the chopsticks and tasted the taste of the meat, which was somewhat similar to what she made, but if she wanted to sell well, it was still a little worse.

So she pointed out to Cao again, the chicken gizzard and goose paw were difficult to burn, and they needed to be burned for a while. If you want a stronger flavor, you can marinate all these meats in advance, and the spices should not be saved, but the amount must be increased.

"Nizi, you don't know, just what you wrote, your father and I have been looking for the town for a long time, and we are about to go through the whole town.

"Mother 1, these spices are not necessarily only available in the town, and there are a lot of them on our mountain. For example, the tangerine peel and star anise, which I stumbled upon when I was going up the mountain, were only brought back later and dried to make spices.

I believe that there are others, there are also in the mountains, anyway, there is no hurry, let's think about it slowly, and then find a way to find a way for the lack of spices.

Fortunately, the lo-mei made by Shen An'an is not particularly complicated, and she can find the most important ingredients, as for a small number of bay leaves, it's okay if you don't put them. If you don't make spicy, numb, and peppercorns, you can leave it out.

It's just that Sichuan pepper is a very important spice, even if it is not used much now, when cooking, there are a lot of Sichuan peppercorns.

You have to pay attention to this, and then find other purchase channels in the future.
