"Lao Qing, the warehouse on this side of your kitchen is big, so take up your place to put some food."

Early in the morning, Lao Qinggang took a few cooks to make breakfast for the government office, and several officials walked in with a group of people carrying sacks.

"Yo, Qiao Tou, look at what you said, the warehouses on my side are almost empty, you can use them as you like. Come, it's so hot and humid, you work early in the morning, you're tired, hurry up and drink saliva to rest. ”

Lao Qing hurriedly poured a bowl of tea for Qiao Tou and handed it over with a smile.

"It's still your Lao Qing who has eyes, don't mention it, it's really a toss to death these days, and I'm tired of carrying food with people every day!"

Qiao Tou took the tea handed over by Lao Qing and patted Lao Qing on the shoulder.

"That's that, that's really hard for you. What's that, Qiao Tou, with so much food, when will our government have to eat it? ”

Lao Qing looked around and found that the cooks were all in the kitchen looking at the steamed steamed buns, and there was no one else here, so he asked casually.

"Haha, Lao Qing, isn't it stupid. There are only a few people in our county government, and so much grain can't be eaten until it becomes moldy! ”

Qiao Tou looked at the honest Lao Qing and smiled, then beckoned to Lao Qing and motioned for him to step forward.

"Let me tell you, this grain is the grain and grass that our adults have mobilized to prepare to encircle and suppress the bandits in Luoyun Village, don't look too much, three thousand people eat and drink, it is enough for a month's consumption. Don't worry, I won't occupy the warehouse here for too long, and my lord is going to send troops to encircle and suppress Luoyun Village on August 8, and there are only five days left, and I will move away soon. ”

"Oh, it wasn't for us to eat, hehe, we don't need this warehouse in our kitchen for the time being, you can put it as you like." What's that, my steamed bun is almost out of the cage, I'll take a look, you are busy first. ”

Waving his hand at Qiaotou, Lao Qing turned around and walked back to the kitchen slowly.

"Lao Qing, are the steamed buns ready, give me two if it's okay, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm hungry."

Soon, the food was moved, and Qiao Tou shook into the kitchen and shouted to Lao Qing, who was picking up steamed buns outside.

"Okay, okay, I'll pack two for you, put some small pickles, and you can eat them together."

Lao Qing hurriedly snorted, wrapped three or four large steamed buns with lotus leaves with his hands and feet, and put some melon strips and pickles in them.

"Thanks, I'll have to take someone to transport another batch. I'm leaving! ”

Qiao Tou took the lotus leaf and stuffed it into his arms and hurriedly left, and did not forget to wave his hand to Lao Qing before leaving.

Lao Qing also raised his hand and waved it twice, looked at Qiao's figure walking away with a smile, and muttered softly.

"I want to thank you too."

"Master, breakfast is ready."

Later, several cooks and two apprentices had already filled out the steamed buns and the congee, which was held in several large pots, and the congee was packed in several large wooden barrels. There are also a few small pickles and pickles in a pot.

"Okay, let's start eating, at this hour, the yasmen should all get up."

Lao Qing waved his hand, and several cooks and an apprentice walked straight to the canteen in the mansion with a large basin and a wooden barrel.

Lao Qing and another apprentice took out a few baskets of meat buns from the small stove on the side, accompanied by shredded chicken porridge and four side dishes mixed with sesame oil, and packed them in food boxes one by one.

The two of them had just packed a few food boxes, and Xiao Yahuan came to pick up the food boxes one after another. They are Mrs. Pei Guangyuan's, the two concubines, and Master Sun's. After several people left, a little girl came slowly.

"Yo, Miss Xiaocui came late today, and all the other houses have been taken away."

The junior apprentice saw Xiao Cui walk in and smiled busily.

"Isn't this that the masters have just woken up, if I take it early, it won't be good if it's cold."

Xiaocui smiled proudly, and then looked at Lao Qing on the side.

"Lao Qing, the master stayed with our beautiful aunt last night, you can also give me the master's breakfast."

"Hehe, I've already prepared it for you, this beautiful aunt is only favored by our county master, who doesn't know this whole house, how can you remind you of Miss Xiaocui."

Lao Qing smiled and handed the fit to Yahuan Xiaocui, and watched the other party walk out of the kitchen triumphantly, and then put away his smile.

This Xiaocui is Aunt Mei's maid, Aunt Mei is not surnamed Mei, but because of the love of the beautiful and deep Pei Guangyuan, she is called Aunt Mei by Pei Guangyuan at will. In order to please this favored aunt, everyone also called her Aunt Mei, and over time, this became the name of this aunt.

"Xiao Dunzi, it's been a busy morning, let's hurry up and eat something."

Greeting the elementary school apprentices, Lao Qing took out a cage of big meat buns from the side, which was a cage of steamed buns that Lao Qing specially hidden.

"Hurry up and eat, you won't be able to eat when they come back."

"It's delicious, the meat buns are so delicious!"

Xiao Dunzi is not very old, only twelve or thirteen years old, and he looks stocky, and he has just entered the house for less than three months. Because of his strength, he was arranged to come to the kitchen to do heavy work such as making noodles and chopping wood and carrying water.

But the actual identity is indeed the person who Deng Yueru arranged to enter the county government to assist Uncle Qing in delivering the news.

"I just heard from Qiao Tou that Pei Guangyuan set the day of encirclement and suppression of the cottage on the eighth day of August, with a total of 3,000 people, and there are only less than five days left. After eating, you quickly pass the news out. ”

Looking up at the door, and finding that there was no one outside the kitchen, Uncle Qing hurriedly whispered.

"I know, Uncle Qing don't worry, I'll go out after eating, it just so happened that yesterday they said that there were not many cabbages, so let me go to the market to buy some vegetables."

Listening to Uncle Qing's words, Xiao Dunzi's eating action paused, and only after Uncle Qing finished explaining, he continued to eat in a big gulp.

When they finished their breakfast, those who went to the government canteen to deliver food also returned, and they all ate directly in the canteen after delivering their meals. After eating, the recycling and washing of dishes and dishes are responsible for a few aunts, so they are not needed.

"Dunzi, there are not many cabbages left, you can go to the market and buy some greens." Go early, don't delay cooking at noon. ”

In front of everyone, Uncle Qing said to the pier who was brushing the pot.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Dunzi put down the brush in his hand, took the copper coin from Uncle Qing's hand, and ran towards the apprentice's room behind.

"I'm going to change my clothes, I won't lose time."

"Go ahead, remember to go early and come back early."

Uncle Qing casually shouted a few words to Dunzi, and then led people to clean up the things in the kitchen, and when they were done, they could rest for a while. Wait until it's almost noon, and then start preparing lunch.

And quickly ran back to the pier of the room, closed the door, and changed his clothes neatly. Then he took out a small cloth bag from under the bed, took out a pencil made by Luoyunzhai, wrote a sentence in pinyin on a small note, and quickly folded the note and stuffed it into his belt, walked out of the room, and walked towards the outside of the county office.
