Interestingly, since the first master, Zhuangzi has never signed a contract with them, and they are not even an employment relationship with each other, but strictly speaking, more like neighbors.

The farmers were grateful, and when the owner was away, they often came over to help sprinkle and sweep, and this habit slowly continued.

When they arrived, everyone didn't come out to greet them, not because they didn't know the etiquette, but the previous masters never asked them to meet them on purpose, and it was also the rule left by the first master, not to disturb the lives of the farmers at will, the reason why Aunt Gu came over was because the previous master took care of her a lot, so she hurried to help after dinner.

Mr. and Mrs. Hou and Concubine Rong are both here for the first time, and they don't know the relationship between the former owner and the farmers, and they have never read the remarks written by the former owner in the contract.

Su Xiaojiu listened, and couldn't help but be very curious about the first master of this Zhuangzi, and asked a few more words, because of the age, Aunt Gu only said that she had heard adults talk about it when she was a child, and this first master was not a person from Dayuan, and the others didn't know much.

Here is located on the edge of the hot springs, there is very little land that can grow crops, everyone will plant some melons and fruits and mountain goods on the nearby mountains to sell money, the winter is better, here is warmer than the next place, birds and animals gather more, the men will mainly hunt, although the income is little, fortunately, the expenses are also less, and they can also maintain food and clothing.

Asked about Gu Yu's father, a trace of melancholy flashed in Aunt Gu's eyes, and then smiled and said, "It's a short-lived one, in the first few years, I went up the mountain to hunt, fell off the cliff, and happened to be met by the Han family's father and son, but I couldn't save it in the end."

Then he smiled heartily, "Hey, there is no short-lived ghost, we don't pull the girl up, it can be seen that this woman is not as good as a man, it is just more difficult, and it will be over after a while." ”

Unexpectedly, this Aunt Gu was born amiable, her face was always happy, and she was long and white, and at first glance, she was clearly a happy woman who lived a rich life and had no city to live, but it turned out that she was also a hard worker.

Accidentally touching someone else's sadness, Su Xiaojiu was a little overwhelmed, apologized and seemed deliberate, and stood beside the case in embarrassment for a while, but fortunately, Aunt Gu was open-minded by nature and was not displeased by this.

However, it also explains why Gu Yu is so old at a young age, the poor children are in charge of the family early, plus they lost their fathers since they were young, and they live in such a barren place with their mothers, and it is normal for them to be sensible earlier than the children next to them.

"You raised Gu Yu very well."

What she said was sincere, although Gu Yu was young, she was the same as her mother, she was neat and open-minded in her bones, and she was generous in dealing with people, even the daughters of some wealthy families in the city may not be able to compare.

Aunt Gu didn't be overly humble when she heard her praise, but said, "This child is sensible, but it didn't let me worry a lot about the big year, let's not talk about this, the nobles eat steamed buns or rice at night."

Su Xiaojiu understood that she didn't want to mention more about this matter, so she picked up her and said, "It's not too full to eat at night, I brought pearl rice, and then put red dates and lotus seeds to boil in a pot." ”

Xiao Jing couldn't interject, so he took the rabbit out, Su Xiaojiu poured out the river shrimp, pinched the head and tail and peeled the skin, and prepared to chop the meat into puree to make the shrimp mud balls when making the lettuce soup, and the other was simply rinsed, ready to make a dry fried small river shrimp.

Aunt Gu made a fire to boil the porridge, and saw Su Xiaojiu take out all kinds of delicate bottles and cans in the food box and put them on the table, she came over curiously, wiped her hands on her apron, picked them up one by one and looked at them, and found that there were just some salt ingredients inside, and exclaimed, "Oh, this bottle is expensive at first glance, and it is actually used for condiment."

I heard that the things used by the nobles in the palace are even eager to use gold and jade in the urinal, and I have seen it today.

Su Xiaojiu didn't despise her fuss, but smiled and said, "I don't need these on weekdays, it's just that it's too inconvenient to go out and get a big jar, so I picked a few porcelain bottles to take with me." ”

Seeing that Aunt Gu's eyes were just pure amazement, and there was no greed, she nodded secretly, and her good impression of her increased a little.

After a while, Xiao Jing had already brought in the peeled rabbit, and Aunt Gu took the initiative to take it, asked Su Xiaojiu how to do it, picked up a kitchen knife to chop the rabbit, and went to get the radish to clean it for later use.

Su Xiaojiu boiled water in the pot, blanched the rabbit meat and set it aside for later use, boiled the oil in another pot, put in the star anise and stir-fried the fragrance, and finally poured the rabbit meat into it and stir-fried, until it was golden brown, added water to the rabbit meat, and began to stew over high heat.

She was busy working, and Aunt Gu was not idle, so she went to get a basin, adjusted a pot of cornmeal batter, and said to Su Xiaojiu, "I'm afraid it's not enough to drink porridge, I'll put a few more cakes in the pot, golden and crispy, and it tastes very fragrant with rabbit meat."

The villagers eat coarsely, but the amount of food is large, and they only have porridge and a dish and a soup for dinner, for fear that the nobles will not be full.

Hearing what she said, Su Xiaojiu was also greedy, nodded and said, "Well, I haven't eaten like this for a long time, and I'm even hungrier when I hear your description." ”

I remember when I was in college, the six girls in their dormitory were very poor, and they were rarely willing to eat meat dishes when they went to the cafeteria to eat, and later opened an iron pot stew in the Northeast near the school, which was good and cheap, and tasted good, so they pooled together money every half a month to eat a meal to satisfy their hunger, and the stickers made in it were just like Aunt Gu described, golden and crispy, and it was so delicious to eat with broth

Aunt Gu skillfully pasted the cake, and said with a smile after listening to her words, "I thought that only our village households ate like this, it turns out that the girl can also eat it in the palace."

"I ate it when I was a child, but I couldn't eat it when I entered the palace."

Su Xiaojiu secretly counted again, smacked her lips with some regret, and pasted a total of eight cakes, except for the Hou Ye and his wife, and Niangniang, there were also a few small balls, it seemed that she couldn't eat them.

Before long, the smell wafted from the kitchen.

The two rabbits were stewed in a big pot, and Aunt Gu saw that the meal was in place, and there was nothing else that could help, so she washed her hands and prepared to go home.

The rabbit just pasted the autumn fat, Xiao Jing specially left two big ones, and they definitely couldn't eat them all, thinking that they had no labor at home, and they must have lived a hard life, Su Xiaojiu called her to stop, took a bowl of rabbit meat and handed it to her, "Auntie has been busy for a long time, bring some rabbit meat back to Xiao Yu to taste." ”

"I can't help it, I can't help it, so keep it for the nobles to eat."

Aunt Gu refused to accept it, and trotted out all the way out, Su Xiaojiu held the bowl, not daring to go too fast, seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Jing came out of nowhere, stretched out his hand, and said, "Give it to me." ”

This guy is a little suspicious, for most of the day, he always goes around the kitchen, Su Xiaojiu didn't say anything, but asked, "Why didn't you follow Your Highness them"

Although the house is safe, their identities are different, and there is still one person who looks more appropriate.

Xiao Jing's face remained unchanged: "I let Lu Cheng go." ”
