Li Zhutou was driven out of the yamen by Jing Zhaoyin, and the whole person was like a headless fly, and he was in a hurry at home.
As a catcher in the yamen, you can earn four taels of silver a month, and with so much less income, life will be much more difficult in an instant. Now that the Li family owes a lot of money, Li Chen's body and bones are not yet well, and this matter is like a heavy burden, pressing on the man's shoulders, and it is almost driving Li Zhutou crazy.
Because his life is not good, Li Zhutou is busy and anxious, working for others everywhere, he is old, and he does not have a personal craft, so he can only do some hard work, and he is tired all day long and does not even have the time to breathe, where is the heart to go to the waste village and find Wan's trouble?
Seeing that Li Zhutou had lost his errand and did not have a few coins in his hand, the Yan family was naturally unwilling to continue to stay in such a fire pit, she asked Li Zhutou to leave her, but the man was unwilling, and the Li family and the Yan family were in a stalemate.
Regarding the affairs of this family, Pan'er only asked once, and after making sure that Li Zhutou was honest, he didn't put his mind on this kind of person anymore.
There has been no rain in the past few days, as the weather gradually becomes hotter, the peach gum on the peach tree is also a lot more than before, Zhou Zhuangtou lived in the small yard of a lot of peach gum, the first batch of peach blossom tears were sent to Pan'er's hands, she stewed the peach gum with milk, added some peach nectar after the pot, the sweetness in the soup is not heavy, but the aroma is very attractive.
Pan'er has eaten stewed peach gum for several days in a row, and her skin is much more moisturized than before.
When Chu Liang came back from the barracks at night, when he saw his little daughter-in-law who was crooked on the couch, he strode up and hugged the person in his arms.
The little daughter-in-law had just taken a bath, smelled the smell of sweat all over the man, pursed her lips with some disgust, pushed Chu Liang's strong chest with her little hand, and snorted softly:
"Go wash it, the smell on my body is almost ...... to my nose"
Chu Liang also knew what kind of character Pan'er was, pinched the white and soft chin with calloused fingers, kissed it a few times, and kissed the little mouth red and swollen, and then let go of the person and walked behind the screen to wash.
After entering the summer, a fiery man in the prime of life like Chu Liang was very confused in taking a bath every day, only using cold water to flush his body, not even using his pancreas.
Recently, there have been a lot of recruits in the north camp of Chengbei, Chu Liang personally trained these recruits, and there was no less tossing during the day, there were still many thorns in this group of people, and it took a lot of effort for the man to clean up these young and vigorous boys, and he didn't dare to make any more trouble.
The sound of water behind the screen gradually stopped, and Chu Liang walked out, with water vapor on his body, and his hair dripping down, wetting the snow-white dirty clothes.
The man who stayed in the army all the year round didn't care about these little things at all, and he opened the brocade quilt and lay down next to his little daughter-in-law, Pan'er was a little tired, and her little hand covered her mouth and yawned, she wanted to sleep well, but she was wrapped around her waist by a cold hand.
"Let go, I'm a little sleepy." The little daughter-in-law grunted dissatisfiedly.
The thin lips were pursed tightly, Chu Liang's two arms were like iron hoops, and he hugged his little daughter-in-law at all.
"No, we've been in the waste village for a few days, except for one on the first day, and then again, daughter-in-law, I thought about it."
Pan'er couldn't help but roll her eyes, the waste village is not as good as the Hou Mansion, there are so many servants and subordinates, if Chu Liang's mind is followed, it will inevitably be covered in sweat, coupled with the fine silk cloth soaked in oil, Pan'er feels breathless on her body, and the sticky feeling feels awkward as long as she thinks about it.
"I don't want to use fine silk."
Hearing this, the man's dark brows couldn't help frowning, his big palm wrapped around his soft and boneless little hand, and he disagreed: "We have Xiaobao and Yuxiu, and I don't want to have any more heirs, if you don't use fine silk cloth, a fierce man like your husband can make you pregnant in a few times, how can this happen?" ”
Pan'er grinded her teeth, eager to bite off a piece of meat from the man.
She snorted: "General, don't put gold on your face, how old a person is to still boast about himself like this, Ge Zhichuan has a recipe there, wait for me to ask him for a recipe that doesn't hurt my body, it's not too late for us to have sex again." ”
After speaking, Pan'er leaned into the bed and soon fell asleep.
There was the sound of the little daughter-in-law's steady breathing in his ears, Chu Liang leaned sideways, stared at the woman's slender figure, and grinded his teeth fiercely.

Peach gum is also a good rarity, after this thing was dried, some of it was sent to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to the Lin family, and some were sent to the Chen family restaurant.
Originally, Pan'er wanted to send some peach gum to Dai's family, but Ge Zhichuan said that pregnant women should not eat peach blossom tears, so he stopped thinking about it.
Chen's restaurant is now famous in the capital, after all, Chen Fu's cooking skills are excellent, and the food he makes is not worse than the imperial chef in the palace.
These guests will come to Chenjia Restaurant almost every day, order a few signature dishes, and finally have a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall, drinking some tea, eating dim sum, and the afternoon has passed.
Peach gum can nourish a woman's body, Chen Fu, as a cook, naturally knows this, but there are not many fruit farmers who specialize in planting peach trees near the capital, and the quality of the peach blossom tears picked is not very good, if it is of high quality, it will be sent to the palace and become a tribute, as for those that are not very good, the taste is inferior, and Chen Fu is too lazy to do it.
At present, such a bag of peach gum was sent to the waste village, and the white fat hand pinched up an amber peach gum, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
The little apprentice who changed the knife on the side couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are you going to do with these peach gums?" ”
"Just stew sugar water, anyway, we still have snow swallows sent from Yunnan in the building, and peach gum, stewed with milk, not only tastes excellent, but also nourishes the body."
Saying that, Chen Fu put the peach gum and snow swallow in the water to soak, soaked for a whole day and a night, changed the water three times, the impurities in the peach gum and snow swallow were all washed away, and the volume also swelled a lot, Chen Fu set up the cauldron, put all the materials in the porcelain cup, and stewed through the water.
Because Chen Fu's cooking skills are the first in Chen's restaurant, he usually only makes some big dishes that take a lot of effort, such as sugar water, Chen Fu rarely interferes.
The little apprentice smelled the fragrance in the pot and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After simmering for less than half an hour, because he was afraid that Xueyan would stew, Chen Fu hurriedly got up the pot, put the porcelain cup on the porcelain cup, and let the guy take it out.
This bowl of sugar water is called Snow Peach, and it has not yet been cooked, and old and new customers don't know it, so they can't order this dish.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the Chen Family Restaurant had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, so he asked the young man to divide the peach in the snow into several parts, and when there was a female guest at the table, he brought a bowl and sent it up.
The great cause is open to the atmosphere, although there is also that kind of sour Confucianism, thinking that men are heaven and women are earth, and women should not show their heads, but most of the girls' families will still go out often, and there are naturally female guests in this Chen family restaurant.
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and the man walked in with a bowl of peach gum.
There was only one master and one servant in the house, and the little maid looked at the sugar water in the bowl and couldn't help asking: "We didn't order this, didn't you send it by mistake?" ”
"Don't worry, the little one is not wrong, this snow peach is a new food in the restaurant, and there are peach gum, snow swallows and other things in it, which are beneficial to the woman's body, and the shopkeeper will let the small one send the snow peach to the female guest."
The pink porcelain bowl contains milk, and you can faintly see the amber peach gum inside, revealing a faint peach blossom aroma, although it is not strong, but it is unexpectedly a little greedy.
After the man stepped back, the maid closed the carved wooden door carefully and whispered, "Miss, this sugar water smells so good, do you want to taste it?" ”
Miss Chen, who was sitting at the table, was a little pale, today was the first time she had entered this Chen family restaurant, the food here was really as delicious as rumored, the ingredients were fresh, and the cleaning was clean, although the price was a little more expensive, but for those who had a lot of money, it was nothing.
The woman bowed slightly, pinched the porcelain spoon with her thin fingers, stirred it lightly in the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of sugar water and brought it to her mouth.
At this moment, the sugar water is not so hot, Miss Chen just drank it, and felt a rich milk fragrance in the mouth, this milk is well handled, without a trace of fishy, because of the lack of moisture, it is more mellow and fragrant, the peach gum and snow swallow in the bowl have a soft taste, with a faint fragrance.
A burst of warmth slowly diffused from the lower abdomen, and a trace of crimson appeared on the woman's pale face, and her complexion was much better than before.
drank a small bowl of peaches in the snow, and the maid next to her couldn't help but be a little stunned when she saw this scene.
She has been serving by her master's side for a long time, and the maid knows that the young lady has a small appetite, and she is not willing to use chopsticks when she eats on weekdays, so she can eat three or two bites.
The dishes in this Chen family restaurant are good, Miss has eaten more than usual today, and the bowl of sugar water called "Snow Peach", even if it tastes delicious, it will not be eaten completely? The peach gum snow swallow in the sugar water is also available in the Chen Mansion, and the mothers-in-law in the kitchen are all boiling and sending it to the young lady, but she doesn't even look at it.
Even if the sugar water in the restaurant is stewed well, isn't it still sugar water, how good can it be?
"Miss, you have eaten a lot of food today, will your stomach be uncomfortable?"
Miss Chen shook her head, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the bustling diners downstairs, and suddenly said: "I remember that there is peach blossom wine in Chen's restaurant, buy a pot and go back to taste it." ”
"You're weak and drinking...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
"What's wrong? Although my stomach is weaker, it is not paper-based, so you don't have to worry too much if you drink a little less every day. ”
Seeing that the master had made up his mind, the maid couldn't disobey the young lady's orders, her face was wrinkled, and she found Xiao Er to buy a pot of peach blossom wine and took it back to Chen's mansion.
