Compared with the rabbit meat eaten by Aunt Sheng and the little girls, the meat delivered today is fresher and more tender. Aunt Sheng tried her best to pick out the best part of the rabbit, did it according to the steps of the lily stir-fry, and sent it to Master Liu's dinner table.

Mr. Liu was well-informed, and he tasted rabbit meat as soon as he went down with chopsticks, which was fresh and smooth, and he had a great appetite for a while, and he actually ate half a bowl of rice.

After the meal, Master Liu called Aunt Sheng to come up and speak. When he was in the provincial capital, he was promoted to the eldest mother, serving before and after, taking care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the friendship between the master and servant was deep.

When Master Liu is free, he will also call Aunt Sheng to chat a few words, so as to show others that he attaches importance to her, even the housekeeper Liu Zhong also wants to give Aunt Sheng some face.

Mr. Liu asked Aunt Qisheng how she would think of fried rabbits, most of the ingredients in the kitchen come from their own fields, and some are purchased from other places, only in winter will the grange send rabbits, now is not the time to send rabbit meat.

Aunt Liu talked about Lily, "That daughter-in-law is poor, but she is smart and clean, and she speaks in an orderly manner, and she doesn't want to take advantage of others." ”

Old Man Liu squinted, "You said her man's name is Song Haonian, is it from the Song family?"

He was a noble man and had a lot of troubles, and he couldn't think of Song Haonian for a while, and the housekeeper Liu Zhong was busy owing beside him: "It is the second son of Song Laohan in the fifth room of the Song family, and he has gone out separately." ”

There are also many members of the Song family, although they have not produced any outstanding talents, relying on diligence, they also have a small amount of savings in the town. The Tian and Liu families of the Song clan were next to each other, and Master Liu was a little impressed, and as soon as the housekeeper said it, he remembered it.

"Does Song Laohan have three or four sons? Why do you split up now?" The parents are not separated, the Liu family is a scholar, and they pay special attention to these rules, and when they heard that Song Laohan has split up, his brows are furrowed.

Aunt Sheng hurriedly gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper said unhurriedly: "His family has not been separated, but the sons are all older, and they are married, and it is always inconvenient to be crowded together." It's just that the second son lives separately, and the eldest son and young daughter naturally live with Song Laohan. ”

Master Liu waved his hand, "In this case, it doesn't hurt to accept his family's prey." Last year, the imperial court issued an order to promote sweet potatoes in our Taiping County, and the fields elsewhere in the family have been arranged. ”

Speaking of the imperial court, Master Liu hugged his fist in the air and arched his hand to show respect. The housekeeper understood, promised yes, and withdrew with Aunt Sheng.

As soon as he went out, the housekeeper said to Aunt Sheng: "The affairs of the Grange were originally in charge of your brother Sheng, and I will invite him to my house to drink two cups in the long run." ”

When Aunt Sheng heard that it was a serious matter, she agreed to go, and in a blink of an eye, she caught a lazy little girl and asked her to bring a letter to her man and ask him to come to the housekeeper to talk.

The housekeeper Liu Zhong and the tenant Liu Sheng got together, and after meeting and discussing for a long time, they made a plan.

The Liu family is known as the heirloom of poetry and rites, and is the most powerful in the town, but Master Liu has the most important reputation, and he has always hated the servants of the family to bully the neighbors under his banner.

After two or three days, Liu Sheng looked for a vacancy and went to the west of the town. He wore a muslin robe, careful to avoid the dust on the road. He was very dignified in the town, and there were people smiling and greeting him all the way, and he smiled and accepted them one by one, until he walked to the westernmost Song family.

Standing outside the fence and seeing three low thatched houses with dried game hanging under the eaves, Liu Sheng estimated the situation of the house. A young daughter-in-law is squatting in the yard and turning over gray cabbage, with a thin body and yellow and fine hair, I think it is the "big year's family" that Aunt Sheng said.

"Is Danian at home?" Liu Sheng coughed, and it was not easy to talk to the young daughter-in-law casually, so he asked in the house.

When Lily heard someone ask, she looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a beard, with a stocky and heavy figure, similar to that of Aunt Sheng.

"The big year is ahead, who are you?"

Song Haonian is building a chicken coop at the back of the house, and the chickens in the house are getting bigger and bigger, and they are always locked in the house, so it is better to take advantage of the warm weather to move out. His brother-in-law Liu Sanping is a carpenter, and Song Haonian has learned two hands from him, so it shouldn't be a problem to try to build a chicken coop.

Hearing someone ask him, Song Haonian walked out of the back of the house, and he was stunned: "Uncle Sheng?"

Liu Sheng just entered the door, and said some gossip with Song Haonian with a smile, the parents at home are okay, what kind of livelihood have they been doing recently, and is the family still passable......

Song Haonian replied, while thinking that he didn't deal with Liufu for a long time, and he hadn't even met with this uncle Sheng, but now he suddenly came to the door, I don't know what he was going to do?

"At this time, spring ploughing is going on everywhere, and there is a field in our house, which is near your field, why are you still panicking in your field? If you don't plant again, you will miss the solar term. ”

Yoo Seung finally put an end to the aimless chatter and brought the topic back to business.

Song Haonian didn't farm, naturally because the family had no surplus grain, let alone farming, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Sheng knows, I am impatient to farm, and this mother-in-law in the family is weak, and she is not a person who can farm." ”

These words were in Liu Sheng's arms, his eyes lit up, and he said: "The virtuous nephew is so willing to work, he naturally has a good future." It's just that although the ten acres of land are not high-grade fields, they are also medium-sized fields, and it is a pity to abandon them...... I don't know what the virtuous nephew is going to do?"

Influenced by the main family, when Liu Sheng said kind words to others, he was also a little crepe, Song Haonian was not used to listening to it, rubbed his ears, but understood his intention, because he smiled: "Now I want to rent out the field, but I don't know whose family is interested." Uncle Sheng knows a lot of people, if you know who wants to rent land, please introduce me. ”

Liu Sheng said: "Now that the imperial court is promoting new grain, my lord is trying to rent a few acres of land to try planting, and it just so happens that your field is adjacent to my grange, so why don't you rent it to us? ”

As he spoke, his tone changed, "If you are afraid that my family will be bullying and want to encroach on your family's land, and you refuse to rent it, I will go to find someone else." ”

The two of them actually wanted to promote this matter in their hearts, and after discussing a few words, they agreed to find the villagers to witness the next day, and rent Song Haonian's ten acres of land to Master Liu's family, and the Liu family paid a certain amount of money to the Song family every year.

Lily asked outside the door, "I don't know what you want to plant in your mansion?"

Liu Sheng only talked to the man in charge, and when he heard the woman interject, he felt that it was the unruly of a small family. The partial lily could also say the literary crepe word "Guifu", so he replied half-reluctantly: "It is a new crop promoted by the imperial court, called sweet potato." ”

Lily's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "If your mansion is willing to collect the fields into one percent for us, the rent can be negotiated again." ”

Liu Sheng looked at Song Haonian unhappily: "What this mother-in-law said is true?"

Song Haonian said with a smile: "In my family, my mother-in-law talks the same as talking to me. ”
