Chapter 164: Lotus Pond Recruitment
Song Zifei and Song Ziyu came around, Zifei just wanted to stretch out his hand, but was stopped by Lu Caiqing and said, "Zifei!" Wait a minute! People haven't come back yet, don't get up the soil, otherwise we will be eating and drinking here, not in vain, we have to make Yang Yibao and a few people in the house drool, that is the real effect. ”
"Hey, hey! Sister Caiqing! It's me who is hungry, you haven't cooked food for us for a long time, so I'll wait! I'll be hungry for them! "Song Zifei is still a child after all, no matter how good his brain is, he can't resist the temptation of food.
Lu Caiqing took the two of them to review some ancient poems, and saw Yang Yibao and Heizi walking home in the same outfits as yesterday, Lu Caiqing hurriedly got up, asked Song Ziyu to guard the ox cart and things, and pulled Song Zi to fly to meet the two.
Lu Caiqing saw that Yang Yibao's face was dark, and he seemed to be unhappy, but he still stubbornly greeted him and said, "Mr. Yang! You're back! How is the harvest today, I took Zifei to greet you. ”
Yang Yibao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not that I won't let you come, I have no intention of accepting apprentices, let's go!" After saying that, he walked around the two of them and walked away, and Kuroko followed closely and entered the gate.
Song Zifei shouted from behind: "Mrs. Yang! You test me, you can't deny me without a word, I have a good brain, and I won't disappoint you. ”
The two stood at the door, they were not invited, and they were not easy to enter, and after a while, the sunspot came out and said expressionlessly: "My husband is the most annoying person yelling, and he also said, since he didn't plan to accept it, what else did he take the test?" Let's go! With that, he stretched out his hand and closed the door.
Lu Caiqing and Song Zifei looked at each other and didn't move, Lu Caiqing thought that he had a chance to talk to Yang Yibao, so it was okay not to talk.
Yang Yibao took off his outer robe, changed into light clothes at home, and asked Kuroko to prepare lunch, and the three of them brought the food to the table under the gourd shelf in the yard and ate it in the shade.
Song Zifei saw it, and whispered with sharp eyes: "Sister Caiqing!" Their lunch was cold, not freshly made. Didn't you say that Mrs. Yang likes food very much? That person doesn't seem to be very thoughtful! ”
When Lu Caiqing heard this, he said happily: "Fortunately, he didn't take good care of him, let's eat him when he leaves, and we will eat them." ”
Song Zifei listened, immediately understood, and followed Lu Caiqing to the ox cart, Lu Caiqing deliberately said to the two of them: "Try to speak loudly for a while, let them hear." ”
The two brothers nodded knowingly, Lu Caiqing's skills are really good, Song Ziyu dug out the rooster buried in the soil, Song Zifei deliberately asked in order to create an atmosphere: "Sister Caiqing!" You've got this chicken covered in mud, but how can you eat it? ”
As soon as the chicken was dug out, the fragrance came to the nose, Lu Caiqing simmered all the seasonings into the chicken's stomach in advance, and after coming out, the mud was crushed, and the feathers on the chicken's body fell off, and the color was yellow and smelled fragrant.
Lu Caiqing mixed the gluten cold skin again, the fragrant fragrance was even better, Lu Caiqing held the bowl and said, "Zifei!" Send this cool skin to Uncle Wang again, and say thank you for his care yesterday! ”
Song Zifei shouted at the door with a bowl for a long time, and Uncle Wang came out, as if he refused his kindness. Lu Caiqing saw Song Zifei coming back with his head drooping, and smiled: "Expected! Zifei don't care about them, let's eat! ”
Song Zifei was immersed in the food for a while, forgetting the setback just now, after lunch, Lu Caiqing and Song Zifei asked to meet and talk at the door again, but they were rejected again, but Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu studied outside for a while, and deliberately recited the ninety-nine multiplication table aloud for a while.
Lu Caiqing saw that it was not early, and he was still worried about Ziwu's recruitment, so he took out the chicken and cold skin that he had flowed out, and took advantage of Yang Yibao's nap for fear of disturbing, so he attracted Uncle Wang, Lu Caiqing said: "Uncle Wang! These are our filial piety to you, I know you came out because you were afraid of us yelling, it's okay we don't bother Mrs. Yang, we'll come back tomorrow! ”
"Ah~ I'll come back tomorrow! Cai Qing girl, my lord is hard-hearted, to be honest, if he decides something, it will not be changed easily, you still save effort. ”
"Uncle Wang! Don't worry about it, it's not good for us to take these foods back, you still have to stay, if Mr. Yang doesn't let you, don't be embarrassed and throw them away. We're gone, come and see you tomorrow! After Lu Caiqing finished speaking, he pulled Song Zifei's sleeve and left.
Uncle Wang didn't dare to open the door easily, and he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he had to watch Song Ziyu drive the ox cart away before going back with the food to say.
When he arrived at the door of the house, Lu Caiqing felt that the door was deserted, didn't he let Ziwu recruit workers? Could it be that he was efficient and finished his work early, and with doubts, he entered the house and realized that the child was not recruiting a job at all in order to save money.
This made Lu Caiqing angry enough, and Song Ziwu said stiffly: "Sister-in-law! I can! Isn't it just a change of place to sleep at night? Brother Li and I just replaced the guards, and we could save some silver. ”
Lu Caiqing said angrily: "Ziwu! How can you be ignorant? What does it mean to sleep in a different place at night, you are not married, Brother Li is busy all day during the day, and he has to accompany Sister-in-law Li at night, it doesn't matter to you, doesn't it matter to others? ”
"That'...... That sister-in-law, isn't it okay for me to keep vigil alone at night? Brother Li during the day! Sister-in-law! They put the ducks in this lotus pond, and no one needs to look at them anymore. ”
"Oops! You kid has stiff wings, don't listen to your sister-in-law and me, right? Then you don't think about it, there are several men in the family, just show you a person to see the fish pond, they have ever slept well, and at night you have to worry about whether you sleep alone, whether there are bad people to steal the fish, and whether your unyielding temperament is desperate with others. Your eldest brother accompanies Zifei to study during the day, do you still have to worry about you at night? Lu Caiqing said a lot of words angrily, in fact, he felt sorry for this teenage child.
Song Ziwu was taught a lesson by Lu Caiqing, and she didn't dare to talk back, she continued: "Money is not often spent, people are always there, you are the second child of the Song family, health is the most important thing for us, money is something outside the body, if you don't earn it, we feel sorry for you!" ”
"Sister-in-law! I was wrong! I'm going to put up a notice at the entrance of the village, and try to recruit two suitable workers tonight. "After saying that, I have to run.
"Wait! Ziwu! When you recruit workers, make it clear to them that it is best to find someone who has no burden at home, and those who are healthy and can deter thieves are preferred. Lu Caiqing instructed.
Song Ziwu heard this, and hurriedly ran away, Song Zifei saw that the second brother was embarrassed, and said to Song Ziyu: "Big brother! I'm going to help my second brother and help him check the gates. ”
Song Ziyu nodded and said, "Go!" Help your second brother take a good look. ”
Song Ziyu watched Zi fly away before going back to the house to pick up things. Song Ziyu and Lu Caiqing picked up for a while, and then rushed to Chen's house, and they didn't take good care of her for several days.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Aunt Tao walking with Chen in the yard, and it seemed that she was getting better quickly and was able to walk on the ground.
"Aunt Chen! It seems that I haven't been in the past few days, and Aunt Tao has taken good care of people. Lu Caiqing happily teased the two.
Chen raised his eyes and said indifferently, "Why are you here?" Didn't you help my uncle go to school? Just now I heard at the door that your two uncles were recruiting, but they didn't work out at first glance, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hang around at the door. ”
Lu Caiqing was not angry when he heard this, Chen saw it and said to Song Ziyu: "Don't expect me to be grateful to you when I get better, I am so angry with you like this, when I get better, you don't have to wander around in front of my eyes anymore." ”
Song Ziyu was not angry when he heard this, he walked under the eaves, took off the flat pole, and took two wooden buckets to carry water. Lu Caiqing saw that several ridges of leeks planted in the yard had grown grass, so he rolled up his sleeves and went down to the ground to remove the grass.
Aunt Tao has become accustomed to seeing it, and she doesn't know why Chen's mouth is so damaged, and the two of them have nothing good to say when they come, and they have always been disgusted with other couples.
Song Ziyu came back with water, Lu Caiqing's grass was also pulled, and when it was time for dinner, Ziwu was busy with recruiting workers today, and he didn't have anything to do, so he just made a meal for them here.
Lu Caiqing thought about making noodles here, beating some eggs and marinating them, but when the noodles were used, she had to open the old lady's cabinet, and after thinking about it, the old lady was so precious that her own box, so don't bother, go back and get some, so she asked Song Ziyu to go back and get some white noodles, take a few eggs, and by the way, bring back some gluten cold skin for the two old ladies to taste.
Song Ziyu has quick legs and feet, and he will come back after a while, he will make a fire under the stove to boil water, Lu Caiqing takes warm water and noodles to save a while, rolls out the noodles into slices, sprinkles thin noodles, cuts the rolls into strips and prepares, and when the water boils below, the noodles are good and the noodles are taken out of the pot and the water is removed.
Then pour oil into the pot, break the eggs and spread them, add green onions, ginger and garlic to adjust the taste, and finally thicken and beat the egg marinade.
Dinner was done, the kang table was placed, and after the things were placed, Aunt Tao praised the taste, Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu stood next to them and watched the two of them take their seats, and then said, "Aunt Chen!" Aunt Tao! You have a good meal, we will go back first, and leave any work of chopping wood and carrying water to us. ”
"Oops! Pick green! Ziyu! You stay, you have been busy for a long time, let's eat together! Aunt Tao sincerely invited.
Song Ziyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! Aunt Tao! There are still people waiting at home, and our two younger brothers are still outside, so we need to go back and have a look. ”
"People are busy! You don't have to talk too much, and besides, this thing is not enough for us to eat? Chen glanced at the two of them and said disdainfully.
"How can you talk like this, people are kind enough to help you do this and that, my old woman is moved, why are you so hard-hearted, old sister?" Aunt Tao hugged them uprightly.
"Don't take other people's soft hands and eat other people's short mouths, but help them say good things, if I take other people's wages, I will also help others say good things."
