Chapter 408: The Grain Team is Coming

The two uncles hadn't recovered from what Zhang's mother said that their family was going to open a shop in the county, and Zhang Xiaoxue brought the breakfast prepared for the two of them.

Zhang Xiaoxue brought two plates of steamed buns made by Bing'er last night, and also took out two bowls of rose porridge, as well as a small plate of home-pickled sour and spicy pickles, and a plate of cut salted duck eggs.

"Haha! Breakfast is so hearty! And white bread, huh? How can this porridge be made so fragrant and so beautiful?

Did you make this breakfast, and when did your cooking become so good?

Haha, I'm blessed today, no wonder Bao Bolt has been clamoring to come to your house, it turns out that the food at my little sister's house is so good!"

Zhang Xiaoxue's eldest uncle was a little surprised by his little sister's cooking skills when he saw that his niece and another woman brought over such a rich breakfast.

In such a short period of time, it is definitely not freshly made, which means that these are the leftovers they eat, but they eat so well, the life of the little sister's family is really too comfortable, and I think that I can earn the money in my hand, and my family can live this kind of life in the future.

At first, I was attracted by the breakfast brought by my niece, but when I looked at the woman who came to deliver the food with my niece, I found that she had the word slave tattooed on her forehead.

"This ...... Why do you still have slaves to serve in your family?"

Uncle Wang Quanduo's eyes were also attracted by the rich breakfast, and he didn't find the extra two steamed buns, so he just picked up the bun and took a big bite.

When I heard the eldest brother talk about slaves, I looked over in surprise and found that it was really a young woman with the word slave tattooed on her forehead.

Er Man helped Zhang Xiaoxue, and after bringing breakfast to the house, because there were still many things she had to do in the kitchen, although the two guests recognized her as a slave, she didn't feel that she couldn't wipe her face, and after talking to Zhang Xiaoxue, she returned to the kitchen.

"Hehe, these meals are not made by me, in addition to your niece's cooking, there is also the second steamed bun at home, which is made by this chef.

Speaking of having slaves working at home, it's not because Xue'er is now the lord of Xueshan County, she has 30 slaves, plus the population of our family, His Royal Highness King Yan sent a total of 40 slaves to our family. ”

When Zhang's mother heard her brother mention the slaves in the family, she also felt very proud on her face, so she briefly introduced it to the two brothers.

"What? The slave sent by His Royal Highness King Yan! What do you say? How can we ordinary people have anything to do with His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Hearing Zhang's mother's explanation, the eldest uncle Wang Quancai and the younger uncle Wang Quanduo were even more surprised in their hearts.

"Haha...... Xue'er's Xueshan County Lord was personally sealed by His Royal Highness King Yan, and the quota of the slaves did not let our family spend money to buy it, and he gave it for free.

As for how to get involved, of course, we have to start with the pancakes we are spreading now, and you also know that the pancakes we have spread are going to be sent to the army.

And the highest commander in this army, of course, is also His Royal Highness King Yan, and the relationship between us and us can be regarded as an employment. ”

Father Zhang explained with a smile.

Wang Quancai and Wang Quanduo still had a surprised expression on their faces when they heard Zhang's father's explanation.

Zhang's father told them again that the slaves had built 12 houses on the side of the farmland, and today happened to be the moving banquet, and the family happened to get together for a while.

After the two uncles finished eating, Zhang Xiaoxue took the remaining plates and bowls to his farm, and if he didn't take them back, he would have to deduct star coins.

On a hot day, Zhang Xiaoxue took out a slightly chilled watermelon, cut it, and sent it to the hall to entertain the two uncles.

Of course, it was the first time for the two uncles to eat such a delicious fruit, and they had never seen a watermelon, a cold and cold, big and sweet watermelon, which won their great favor.

Hearing Zhang's father say that when their family was going to plant some of this kind of watermelon after the New Year, they were also a little moved, and they were going to plant some seeds too, and they would also plant some watermelons next year, even if they didn't bear much, they would eat it at home.

Of course, as soon as they told Zhang's father about their intentions, they also got Zhang's father's approval, and Zhang's father asked them not to swallow the seeds in the watermelon they ate, and to keep them to dry them to make seeds.

So when they ate it, there were some black seeds in the watermelon, and they also carefully collected them, and they didn't eat them, and they planned to take these back to dry, and they could try to plant them next year.

When they heard that watermelons are very scarce fruits, they are only grown in Gali Country, and the watermelons that are available in our country can only be obtained by the Tribute Bureau, so they will be even more surprised.

The two of them were not too surprised that Zhang Xiaoxue's family had such a rare fruit, they thought it was sent by His Royal Highness King Yan? After all, the land and slaves were sent, not to mention the fruits they ate, so they were also self-righteous and did not ask about the source of the watermelon.

A watermelon is worth two taels of silver, and they also want to cultivate it, and when the time comes, sell a few watermelons, but it will be worth the harvest they have been planting grain in the field for several years.

It seems that today is a good day for the guests at Zhang Xiaoxue's house, they are still chatting in the house, and the grain team that came to collect pancakes also came over this morning.

The grain team has a total of fifteen carriages, and there are two soldiers on each carriage, led by Chen Xiao, who Zhang Xiaoxue knows, and their team came to Zhang Xiaoxue's house, but they were surrounded by people in the village.

"Ah, it's the tenth brother leading the team, are you tired all the way? Let the brothers all go to the house to cool down and eat some fruit." ”

When such a large group of people came to Zhang Xiaoxue's house, naturally there were children from the village who ran in front to deliver the letter, so when Zhang Xiaoxue and her family came out, Zhang Xiaoxue saw Brother Chen Xiao leading the team.

"Haha, sure enough, Sister Xiaoxue arrived home early, I just heard His Highness say that let me escort you back together, but then it changed, saying that Sister Xiaoxue would be able to arrive home one step earlier, and I don't need to escort you anymore.

I've been wondering in my heart, and I don't know who escorted Sister Xiaoxue, who is faster than our empty food team. ”

When they arrived at the door of Zhang Xiaoxue's house, they stopped the carriage, and Chen Xiao naturally saw Zhang Xiaoxue at a glance, so he got out of the car and said to Zhang Xiaoxue.

"There's no need to be in a hurry to rest in the house, it's not too late to finish the work first, we have a task time to pull pancakes, and we encountered a little trouble on the way here, and we were delayed for half a day

Now we don't dare to delay too long, and after the pancakes are loaded, we have to leave for the return, otherwise I am afraid that it will be too late. ”

Chen Xiao heard that Zhang Xiaoxue asked them to go to the house to rest first, so he told them that they had a task, thinking that they would load the pancakes into the car first, and if there was still time, they could also sit down and rest for a while.
