The clouds were thick and the north wind was howling and overpowering the dead grass everywhere.

The Shen family and his party parked their carriages and horses on the side of the road, sat on the ground in the wilderness, nibbled on dry food, and replenished their strength.

Master Shen Wu took a bite of steamed buns and kept complaining: "It's not that we don't have money, why don't we go to the city and go to the guest house?" ”

"Guest house? Do you think the coffin isn't eye-catching enough? Second Master Shen glared at him.

"It's all Shen Yiyi!" Fifth Master Shen rolled his eyes when he choked on steamed buns, and threw away the remaining half hatefully, "It's all because the eldest brother is too soft-hearted, if she was sunk in the pond at the beginning, where did so many things come from now?" ”

"Fifth brother, be quiet, big brother is sitting over there." Fourth Master Shen persuaded him.

Although Master Shen was indignant, he didn't dare to provoke Master Shen openly, so he reluctantly closed his mouth.

Far away from their two carriages, Shen Yi ordered a fire to be born, skewered the steamed bread slices with sharpened wooden skewers, and roasted them on the fire.

Little Pepper opened the baggage, revealing a large number of bottles and cans: "Miss, this is the condiment you asked me to bring from Deshenglou, what do you want to use, I will bring it to you." ”

"Sugar." Shen Yiyi said, "I like to eat sweet. ”

"I want it sweet, too!" Little Pepper exclaimed, handing her the candy jar.

Shen Yiyi patiently roasted the steamed bread slices until golden brown on both sides, then scooped up a spoonful of sugar and sprinkled it evenly.

"Alright, let's try it." Shen Yiyi handed a bunch of pepper to Xiao Pepper.

The steamed bread slices are crispy and fragrant, and the sugar grains seem to melt away, and this sweet feeling seems to be able to sweep away all the fatigue of the journey.

Xiao Pepper quickly finished eating a bunch, wiped her mouth unsatisfied, and said, "I'll bake a few skewers for Wang Qing, so that he won't be noisy later." ”

Shen Yiyi was about to make fun of her, when she suddenly saw Master Shen coming this way, so she said, "You ask Wang Qing to rebuild a fire for you." ”

Little Pepper also saw Master Shen, and said quickly: "Miss, listen to Master Shen in everything, don't be as stupid as before!" ”

How can she be stupid, she is not "Shen Yiyi". Shen Yiyi grabbed a few steamed buns and stuffed them for her and drove her away.

Master Shen walked to the fire and sat down cross-legged: "Yiyi, are you baking steamed bread?" ”

"Yes, you'll have a string too?" Shen Yiyi turned over the steamed bread slices, "Do you want to be sweet or salty?" ”

Master Shen watched her skillfully and naturally flip the steamed bread slices, and his eyes gradually turned red. His daughter, who grew up in the palm of her hand, had to take off her shoes immediately and replace them with new ones, even if there was a little dust on them; Now he can sit on the dry grass and roast steamed bread slices in the cold wind.

Is it because he eloped for a year and suffered too much? Master Shen sighed, didn't want to think about it anymore, picked a string of salty ones from the steamed buns handed by Shen Yiyi, and asked, "Yiyi, the matter of the silver wire offering has been resolved?" ”

"Solved." Shen Yiyi took out the waist card and handed it to him.

"That's good." Master Shen took the waist card, looked at it carefully for a while, called an entourage, and instructed him: "Take it to the other masters to see, so that they can rest assured." ”

The attendant went with the waist card.

Master Shen slowly ate the steamed bun slices and said, "Your fifth uncle, although he has a quick temper, he doesn't bend his intestines, so he is always used as a gun by your second uncle." Your fourth uncle looks obedient to your second uncle, but in fact, he has his own little Jiujiu in his heart. Your second uncle has an idea, and he has been thinking about the position of the big boss for many years. Your third uncle is honest, straight-tempered, and admits death, and has always been at odds with your second uncle. ”

Why did Master Shen suddenly tell her about a few uncles? Shen Yiyi sprinkled pepper on the steamed bread slices, feeling very strange.

Master Shen continued: "Your aunts have a lot of hearts, but your second, fourth and fifth aunts are only in the inner house, so there is nothing to worry about, but your third aunt is ambitious, but she is not the material for doing business." Your cousins, except for your cousin, are not successful, and the others have some talents, but when people have ability, they will inevitably have a bigger mind and will not be very obedient to discipline. Those cousins of yours, you should know each other better than I am, so I won't talk about it. ”

"Our Shen family made a fortune from tea, and then slowly got the principal, and then began to sell everything. Since you have been cooking since elementary school, you have devoted yourself to taking care of the restaurant, and you have your uncles and cousins on the side. ”

"If the business of the restaurant is not good, you don't have to worry, the most important thing in a girl's life is not to make money, but to find a good in-law. I shouldn't have told you about your family affairs, but your mother is no longer part of the Shen family, so I can only do it for you. You followed Wu De outside, and after a year's delay, there may be some difficulties in family affairs, but you don't have to worry, your father has prepared a dowry for you, and it will be handed over to your grandmother. ”

"Your grandmother is often a little biased, but she is a person who understands the general situation, no matter what happens, as long as you make it clear to her that it is for the Shen family, she can understand."

"Dad, what are you telling me about?" Shen Yiyi asked curiously.

Master Shen smiled: "There is always a time when it will be useful." ”

There's always a time to get it...... So, it's not just small talk? Shen Yiyi was confused, looked at the coffin parked in the distance, and asked something more practical: "Dad, the person in the coffin ...... My aunt, how did she die? ”

Master Shen raised his hand and wanted to touch her hair, but suddenly remembered that his daughter was older, and this action was not appropriate, so he put his hand down again: "You don't need to know this." ”

This matter is obviously the most relevant to her at this moment, why don't you need to know?! Shen Yiyi became more and more confused.

----------------------

On the other side, after reading the waist card, several masters of the Shen family were jealous of Shen Yiyi's blessing in disguise, and they didn't want to speak.

In the cold north wind, the smell of barbecue food suddenly wafted in.

Fifth Master Shen stretched his neck and sniffed his nose vigorously: "What is this, so fragrant?" ”

Fourth Master Shen stood up and looked at it, and said, "It's Yiyi baking steamed buns." In the end, it is a person who has learned cooking, and a steamed bun can also play tricks. ”

"She's baking steamed buns, but she doesn't send them to honor her elders?!" Fifth Master Shen bluffed his face and said to Second Master Shen, "Second brother, Shen Yiyi is too disrespectful, you don't care?" ”

Eyes without respect? It's your own gluttonous steamed bread slices, right? Although Second Master Shen also wanted to eat, he didn't want to lose his value for such a trivial matter, so he deliberately said: "Since you know that she has no respect, you should go and ask her to send the steamed bread slices, why waste time yelling at me?" ”

That's right, Fifth Master Shen really strode towards Shen Yiyi's side.

Master Shen also sat by the fire, but Fifth Master Shen thought that he was reasonable, and said to Shen Yiyi confidently: "Yiyi, your uncles are still hungry, you obviously roasted steamed bread slices, but you didn't send some over?" Is this your attitude towards your elders? ”

Shen Yiyi spread her hands: "The steamed bread slices are finished." ”..

The makeshift grill was indeed empty, and Master Shen Wu pointed to the burden next to him: "Isn't there still steamed buns, bake them again!" ”

"But the grill is gone, how do you bake it?" Shen Yiyi spread her hands again.

"Isn't the grill there?" Fifth Master Shen stretched out his hand and pointed.

Shen Yiyi stood up, simply kicked over the grill, and said, "Okay, it's gone now." ”
