Chapter 259: The Lord's House is Simple
"Mother is not tired, I am used to doing these jobs, I am idle, if I don't do some work for a day, I still feel uncomfortable, if I follow what Xue'er said, I have to become a lady who stretches out her hands for clothes and opens her mouth for food. Mother Zhang said to Zhang Xiaoxue with a smile.
"Hehe, our family will also be a slave in the future, isn't my mother going to be a lady? Zhang Xiaoxue joked with a smile.
"What old lady, even if there are a few slaves, our family is still a farmer, and we still live in the village, and our own slaves are just called old and lady, if there are really villagers who call me madam, I am embarrassed to agree.
Xue'er, although you are now the lord of Xueshan County, you have an official position, but you can't be arrogant in your actions, you have to remember that your father and mother are also farmers, you don't look down on the villagers. ”
"Hehe, mother, don't worry, what kind of character your daughter and I are, don't my mother know? How can I look down on the villagers? I'm just a little peasant girl. ”
When Zhang's mother heard Zhang Xiaoxue say this, she thought that what her daughter said was right, her daughter's character, and she did understand that her daughter was indeed not the kind of arrogant and domineering person.
Zhang's mother remembered that when she saw those slaves for the first time, she saw that the female slaves were each carrying a burden on their backs, and she thought it was the luggage of these female slaves.
Thinking of the tattered clothes worn by those slaves, Zhang's mother was not unhappy about her daughter's behavior of not feeling sorry for money at all, which shows that her daughter is kind-hearted and sympathetic to slaves, not to mention that it is not good for the villagers in the village.
"Why did your father give these five female slaves such ugly names? What big steamed buns, two steamed buns, not at all like the names of girls, although they are only slaves, but they are all girls, looking at their age, they are not very old, call some flowers and branches or something, how beautiful. Mother Zhang thought of the names given by Zhang's father to these five female slaves, and she felt that it was really unpleasant, so she couldn't help complaining.
"Haha! Dad said that our family can eat big steamed buns now, so he gave them these names, which are simple and easy to remember. ”
Although Zhang's mother said that Zhang's father's name was not good, Zhang Xiaoxue would not agree, she said these names in front of her father at the time, if she changed her words now, and then Zhang's father knew about it, she would not be able to say that she was a two-faced.
"That's okay to explain it like this, it's really simple to call, and it's easy to remember, those male slaves, have you named them?"
"I don't know, I guess in the afternoon, my dad may have thought about it in his heart, right? When my dad comes back, let's ask. ”
"I'm going to see the female slaves making clothes, where did Cher arrange them?"
"I asked them to sew clothes in the hall, which had tables and stools, which was more convenient. Let's go, I'll go with my mother, and I'll watch them make clothes, and I'll call Erman, go to the kitchen to cook lunch, and see how Erman's cooking skills are. ”
"Okay, I'll be idle at home in the future, I don't need to cook anymore, and it's really a bit of a lady's money. "This kind of day, Zhang's mother never dreamed of before.
"Hehe, my mother can take care of the family's finances in the future. ”
The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, and they arrived in the hall, and as soon as someone entered, the five steamed buns all stood up together, and hurriedly called Mrs., master.
Mother Zhang still felt a little awkward when she heard others call her Mrs. again, but thinking that these slaves in the family would call her like this in the future, she gradually let go and let them sit down and continue to be busy.
In addition to the master, the other people in the master's family are exactly the same as ordinary villagers, and the clothes and fabrics they wear are still the same linen cloth as the sewn clothes in their hands.
"Erman, you hand over the work in your hand to the big steamed buns first, and you come with me to the kitchen for us to cook lunch. ”
"Okay, master. ”
Er Manu followed Zhang Xiaoxue with a happy face, and when she arrived in the kitchen of the master's house, it was the first time she entered the master's kitchen, and it was really simple inside.
Just now, the five slaves were in the hall of the master's house, and they felt that the master's house was very simple, and it seemed that it was really like a very poor peasant family.
However, they all know that the master has a lot of treasures, and there is no appearance of a poor peasant girl at all, although this is a bit contradictory, they all think in their hearts, maybe the master's family is relatively low-key and unwilling to show his wealth.
Zhang Xiaoxue took out a portion of pork and a few fresh vegetables, and asked what meals Ermang would use these vegetables to cook.
Listening to Er Man's answer, she really knows a lot, but it is a bit of a small restaurant chef's feeling, Zhang Xiaoxue asked her to make two stews and four stir-fried vegetables, thinking that tonight's meal is like this, she can use seasoning next to Erman.
Zhang Xiaoxue watched from the side, Erfu felt a little unable to let go of his hands and feet, he was afraid that he would make a mistake, no matter what he did, he was cautious, and he didn't dare to slow down, he was afraid that he would be slow and make the owner unhappy.
Zhang Xiaoxue found that Er Man's movements were a little stiff, thought about it for a while, and knew what she was for, so she said: "Er Man, my temper is okay, you don't have to be nervous, just relax and work, even if there is a small mistake, I won't blame you, the work in the kitchen, you just need to ensure that it is clean and hygienic." ”
"Thank you host, I haven't touched these kitchenware in years, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. ”
At this time, the system's prompt bell rang, the two crops on the farm were all ripe, Zhang Xiaoxue did not make an excuse to leave, harvested all the peaches and blueberries with his mind, went to the store to buy seven bamboo shoot seeds, planted the bamboo shoots, and waited for the bamboo shoots to be harvested, and then the order could be delivered.
Zhang Xiaoxue checked the detailed data of bamboo shoots.
I didn't expect bamboo shoots to be two crops in two seasons, haha! It turns out that a level 12 farm can buy two crops in two seasons, and she has never found these yet.
Er Manchu saw the smile on his master's face, and then slowly relaxed and started working.
