Chapter 151: Coarse Tea and Light Rice
No one spoke in the valley for a long time, but in the end, it was Mrs. Cui who took two steps forward and said with a smile, "A thousand taels of silver sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is distributed everywhere, and there is not much." Let Lord Zhou bother, wait for the village chief and them to come back, and everyone will discuss it and get together. It's just that the drawings have to bother adults! ”
When the other villagers heard this, they came to their senses and quickly thanked them.
"Thank you, Lord Zhou, it is already a big deal for our peasant family to spend 100 taels to build a house. I was really shocked when I suddenly heard that it would cost a thousand taels. ”
"Yes, such a big valley is not comparable to our farmhouse yard."
"Thank you, sir, for your trouble."
Master Zhou is a person who is obsessed with technology, and there are not so many twists and turns in his stomach.
He had already heard what Mr. Wen said on the way, knowing that everyone had fled from the famine, and there was no silver, and it was normal to be surprised when he heard that it would cost a thousand taels, so he naturally wouldn't be angry about it.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will think about it carefully, try to spend as little money as possible, and do my best. After all, it's close to Kyoto, and it's all the rich and noble people who come to play, and the hot spring yard is too simple. ”
Everyone nodded hurriedly, and it happened that Jia Xi Jia'an came running and shouted, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." ”
Uncle Zhao hurriedly invited Lord Zhou and a few of his staff, "Lord Zhou, let's pad your stomach first and then get busy." In the mountains and wilderness, there are no good things, don't dislike it. ”
"No, I'm causing you trouble."
Both sides were polite, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Everyone lived in shacks and ate earthen stoves, and there was really nothing too good to entertain guests.
Tao Hongying hollowed out her mind to make two dishes, a cake and a soup, the dish is cabbage fungus fried bacon pork and cold wild vegetables, the cake is the day before yesterday Li Lao Er bought back the pork belly chopped, with dried vegetables, baked pies, the soup is wild vegetable egg soup.
The black and white combination of cabbage fungus is pleasing to the eye, and the cold wild vegetables are also full of green, sweet and sour.
The most brilliant is the dried vegetable patty, the oil of the pork belly is absorbed by the dried vegetables, take a bite, soft and fragrant, slightly salty, and with a bowl of egg soup, it is really perfect.
Mr. Zhou originally thought that the people in the village were talking about coarse tea and light rice, but it was really coarse tea and light rice.
I didn't expect that in such a desolate valley, a group of homeless people living in shacks would make such delicious food to entertain them.
Seeing the sorghum rice porridge in the villagers' bowls and the stewed water cabbage from a distance, they became more and more enthusiastic.
Even without Mr. Wen's entrustment, they had to do their best to help build the hot spring villa. Not for anything else, just for this group of kind and simple villagers.
Jiayin sat in Mrs. Cui's arms at this time, sharing a pie with Mrs. Cui, eating with a small mouth dripping oil, and from time to time proud of the old lady's good craftsmanship.
Although Ye Gongzi sent food and Mrs. Cui also brought some over, no one in the village was willing to throw off their cheeks and eat it thoroughly.
Today's pie, in addition to entertaining guests, only half of Mrs. Cui's guests, as well as Mrs. Li and Uncle Zhao, were injured, and only one person was divided.
Of course, the old people like to eat, but they feel more sorry for the children, so they simply make a look and give it to the little dolls.
Mrs. Cui gossiped with Mrs. Li and others, and Jiayin traveled while eating.
There are a lot of cabbage radishes in the space, and after a few days, grandma will be healed and can walk around casually, and then you can find an opportunity to take it out, and the excuse is to exchange it in a nearby village.
Today's problem is still the fruit tree saplings in the space nursery.
How do you make sense of it?
At this time, she missed Ye Gongzi very much, and if he was there, she would definitely help.
After all, they had silver in one hand and pills in the other, and the transaction was still very smooth.
Ye Gongzi didn't have any inquiries and suspicions, and his calmness made Jiayin subconsciously feel that he was more trustworthy than his grandmother.
Grandma is just an old lady from a peasant family, and she is more concerned about her safety and self-preservation.
But Ye Gongzi, regardless of his identity or knowledge, is enough to carry all the dangers and solve all the problems for her, and he is the best shield at present.
It's a pity that when I got acquainted before, Ye Gongzi was still a new Tingbo, and now he has been promoted to marquis, and he is still a military marquis with troops, and he is busy and can't catch it, and she can't catch it if she wants to...
After lunch, Mr. Zhou measured a lot of detailed data, and then took the staff to leave.
The villagers thanked each other and sent it all the way out of the valley.
Because they were worried about Mr. Wen and the village chief, everyone stood for a long time, but unfortunately they still didn't wait for anyone.
Uncle Zhao shouted at everyone to continue to go up the mountain to open up the wasteland, no matter how the hot springs in the valley are organized, the mountain bags on both sides must be picked up.
Cutting down trees and weeding, everyone was busy, and there was no time to worry about the thousand taels of silver.
At dusk, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the closer they ran, the villagers came down from the mountain and immediately blocked the mouth of the valley, for fear that someone would come to grab the hot spring.
As a result, the horse team approached, but it was Ye Gongzi who jumped down.
Everyone cheered, and they rushed forward and shouted, "Ye Gongzi is back!" Hou Ye is back! ”
Jiayin was squatting by the fire, accompanying her grandmother to roast the fire, listening to the cheers, she was so happy that she opened her calves and rushed over there.
Mrs. Li was afraid that her granddaughter would fall and wanted to catch up, but her shoulder wound hurt, so she could only call Jia Huan.
"Pick up Fu Niu, don't fall!"
Jia Huan strode forward, picked up his sister and lifted it directly to his shoulder.
Jiayin grabbed his brother's hair and shouted, "Uncle Ye! Uncle Ye! ”
Ye Gongzi was talking to the villagers, and when he heard the child's delicate voice, he turned his head to look at it and smiled.
He strode through the crowd, hugged the little girl directly, and kissed her white and tender little face carefully.
"Little girl, I miss my uncle!"
"Uh-huh!" Jiayin nodded his little head vigorously, his little face was full of seriousness and joy, "I miss my uncle, I miss it very much!" ”
Ye Gongzi smiled heartily, "I haven't seen you for a few days, our Fu Niu has spoken so clearly." ”
The villagers gathered around him and sat by the fire, and Mrs. Cui helped Mrs. Li to come forward to salute.
Ye Gongzi personally helped the old lady sit down, and the old lady was worried about her son, so she told her about someone robbing the hot spring before.
Ye Gongzi had already seen the hot spring in the distance, so he said, "I was just at the dock, and I just taught those two little officials a lesson, and I'm worried about how you will settle down here." Unexpectedly, a hot spring was dug out of the barren beach, which was a blessing for the village. Don't worry, no one can snatch it! ”
When everyone heard this, they seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and they suddenly became much more stable.
Ye Gongzi said again, "As for Mr. Wen and the fourth child, you don't have to worry." There are already many contradictions in the relocation of the imperial court, and now the affairs in our village are just an introduction, and the imperial court is afraid that it has been looking forward to this day for a long time. So, the result must be good, and they will be able to come back tomorrow. ”
He hugged Jiayin and sat on his lap, his expression was gentle, and his tone was firm, which made people couldn't help but be convinced.
