Su Shi also knew that Wang Taoqing was joking, and immediately replied: "Sister-in-law has said everything, then the responsibility of the chef can be entrusted to you." ”

Wang Taoqing's eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "That's a good feeling, let me show you a hand today." ”

The three of them laughed and got busy, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, boiling hot water and killing chickens......

Smoke rises and the kitchen fills with an enticing aroma.

Just a few words of joke, this chef naturally can't really be handed over to Wang Taoqing.

Su Mo held a spatula and stir-fried the pork in the pot neatly.

There is a clay pot on the small stove next to it, simmering chicken soup.

The ingredients are all cut, put aside in a bowl, and stir-fry directly when you want to use them.

Wang Taoqing and Hui Niang washed their hands, and when they saw that there was nothing to do, they immediately said that they would go back and call someone, and someone would be late when the time came.

Su Mo naturally responded, but the kitchen couldn't do without people, so he didn't go out to deliver it.

After about two quarters of an hour, footsteps could be heard outside the house.

Su Mo's ears were sharp, and when he heard the sound, he looked at the door, thinking that the guests had arrived, but he saw Fang Yue standing at the door with something and a smile.

"I smelled the fragrance before I even entered the door, and I'm in for a good time."

"Sister Fang is here."

Su Mo suddenly smiled, took out the fried vegetables in the pot, and put them on the stove to warm.

She never stopped, scooping water to wash the pot, then put oil and serve the food.

"The dish will be ready soon, my sister will go to the meeting first?"

Fang Yue glanced at the hall, it was empty.

"What about the three children?"

"Literate in the study."

Su Mo put a spoonful of salt in the pot, and then stir-fried, and the oil smoke rose and drifted down the chimney.

"Reading and literacy is always a good thing, just went back to Huzhou Mansion, bought some paper, inkstone, pen and ink and 1,000 characters for enlightenment.

I also know how to read, so I go to practice every morning, and then let them recognize it by themselves and write it with a brush. ”

Fang Yue nodded thoughtfully.

The child is still young, if he has this talent, he will study well, and he will end up in the future, not seeking to enter the court as an official in high school step by step, but he hopes to be admitted to the show, and Sister Su can be regarded as bitter.

Retracting her thoughts, Fang Yue lifted the things in her hand upward, her good-looking peach blossom eyes slightly curved, and she smiled lightly.

"I saw that there was no alcohol for the things you bought yesterday, so I brought a pot over, and the rice wine I brewed myself is not intoxicating."

Su Mo was stunned, too, there is a man here for this treat, how can there be no wine.

"It's still Sister Fang who is careful."

Su Mo picked up the dish and threw a grateful look at Fang Yue.

"Between our sisters, why be polite."

Fang Yue waved her hand, disappreciating, and after that, she glanced at the door twice more and asked, "When will the others come?"

Is there anything I can help with? ”

Scoop the pot under water.

"It's time in a little while.

If Sister Fang is bored, why don't you go to the study and shout for peace? ”

"Cheng, then I'll put the wine in the hall first."

Fang Yue is not polite, but between sisters, politeness seems rusty.

"By the way, which room is this study?"

Su Mo put down the spatula, walked out, raised his hand and signaled, "Just go to the first room here." ”

Fang Yue nodded to show that she knew, and after putting the wine into the hall, she walked to the study.

Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing also returned, followed by the village chief, Chen Cihai, Chen Yuanhai, and the men who helped dig furniture from the ruins some time ago.

Su Mo saw the people and hurriedly shouted at them to sit in the hall.

"The dishes will have to take a while, and there are melon seeds and peanuts on the table, and the big guys will eat and chat for a while."

Luoshan Village does not pay attention to different tables for men and women, Su Mo turned out the large round table of the warehouse, washed it and stuck it on the square table, and surrounded a lot of people.

The men were a little restrained, responded politely, and sat down.

Fang Yue also led the three children out.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian were not afraid of life, so they called someone and found a place to sit down.

Gu Xingnian was shrunk in Fang Yue's arms, and there were many people who came she didn't know.

Fang Yue was also a little uncomfortable, so she simply took Gu Xingnian to the kitchen.

It just so happened that Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing were also there.

The two had been to Fang Yue's garment shop, and when they met, they were a little surprised: "Isn't this the shopkeeper of Yuehua Garment Shop?" ”

Yuehua Garment Shop is the name of Fang Yue's Garment Shop, each of which is made up of one word in the name of her and her husband.

Fang Yue's gaze swept over the two, and when they saw each other, she smiled lightly and nodded: "Exactly." ”

Su Mo smiled and took a mouthful: "It's still my sister of the opposite sex." ”

Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing looked at each other and were a little surprised.

Su Mo smiled and introduced Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing to Fang Yue, and the three of them said a few polite words to each other, and then moved the topic to business.

Hui Niang: "It's almost time, I'll go over and clean up the table, and it will be convenient to serve the food later." ”

Wang Taoqing: "Brother and sister, where do you put the chopsticks?" I'll take this first. ”

Fang Yue didn't want to be idle, put down the villain in her arms, glanced at the dishes by the stove, and said, "Then I'll help serve the dishes." ”

The three of them didn't wait for Su Mo to speak, so they got busy, so that Su Mo shook his head helplessly, obviously inviting them over for dinner, but they came to help with the work.

The dishes were quickly served, Su Mo brought the wine to the table, poured himself a small half bowl, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of the big guy these days, I won't say much polite words, it's all in the wine." ”

Su Mo raised the bowl and drank it all, the rice wine was sweet in the mouth, the wine taste was not heavy, and it was not good to drink.

Seeing that Su Mo was so refreshing, a few men suddenly became a little less restrained, and said with a smile, You come and go, the dinner table is lively.

I don't know how long it took, but the dishes on the table were almost eaten, and a pot of rice wine was drunk.

Su Mo also took out the cold shrimp that was chilled with spring water, poured brown sugar water, slightly cold, and it was particularly comfortable to eat it.

The slightly drunk men ate a bowl, and people suddenly sobered up a lot.

Thinking that he would have to go to sea tomorrow and should pack his things in the afternoon, Su Mo hurriedly said hello and left with a smile.

Chen Cihai's amount of wine is a little indescribable, it can be as good as a bowl of rice wine, his face is red, he is so drunk that his head is dizzy, he is holding Wang Taoqing's arm, and his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are shouting non-stop.

Wang Taoqing's cheeks were so ashamed that she wanted to ask about the method of this cold shrimp, but she couldn't take care of it.

After saying goodbye to Su Mo, he pulled people away in a hurry, Chen Yuanhai looked at his eldest brother's embarrassment on the side and laughed, and when he saw people leaving, he also followed.

The village chief called out to Su Mo, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and smiled.

"I have already reported your method to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is quite concerned about this, and it is estimated that he will come to the village in the next two days.

If you don't have anything important, don't go out for the next two days. ”

"I see."

Su Mo nodded, looking calm, obviously the village chief's reply was expected.

Improving the soil quality and making crops grow in the saline-alkali land where no grass grows is enough to add a strong touch to the achievements of the county magistrates in the coastal counties.

The local officials of the Dayong Dynasty were promoted every three years.

The premise of promotion is that the annual performance evaluation is excellent, and there is a chance to be nominated.

After being nominated, the officials still planned to promote the official position according to their political achievements, and then handed it over to Emperor Jingyong for finalization.

If the political performance is outstanding, it can be promoted without exception.

However, if the political performance is mediocre, he will be re-elected.

An official position can be held for a maximum of ten years, and for ten years he has been mediocre in government, and in order to avoid collusion with the local gentry, he will be transferred.
