Chapter 213: Farmhouse

"Water? Yes, yes, there is water, there is enough! ”

The old man saw that Kangxi and the others were dressed extraordinarily, and he could see at a glance that they were different from the farmers who were digging in the fields, and hurriedly wanted to get up and pour water for Kangxi and them.

Kangxi stopped his movements and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be busy, just let my sons come." ”

"Where is the reason why an old man pours water for a young man."

The old man was a little at a loss: "Nobleman, this can't be done, can't be done." ”

"It's fine."

Without saying a word, the prince took the clay pot of water and a few stoneware bowls from the old man's hand.

The water in the clay pot is completely different from the water that Kangxi and his brothers usually drink, and when it is poured into the bowl, the turbidity inside can be seen to the naked eye.

After a while, there is an extra layer of precipitated things on the bottom of the bowl, gray, and I don't know what it is.

But Kangxi acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and drank all the water in a few sips, leaving nothing at the bottom of the bowl.

Seeing that Khan Ama was like this, none of the brothers dared to say anything, and drank the water silently.

Even Sugar Treasure is holding a small bowl and drinking water in small sips.

Seeing this, the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to stretch a little.

"Your honor, I don't look good at this water, it's actually clean, and my mother-in-law also sent it to me after boiling it and letting it cool!"

After drinking the water, Kangxi sat next to the old man and chatted with him.

"Uncle, how is the harvest in this field this year?"

As soon as the topic came to the grain in the field, the old man immediately laughed, "This year's wind and rain are smooth, and the harvest in the field is good!" ”

He pointed to the plump ears with his finger and said happily: "If the emperor has reduced our taxes, we will be able to have a good year when we sell the excess grain this year!" ”

The old man's face was apprehensive, and there was genuine joy, Kangxi asked him with a smile: "Is the emperor good?" ”

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly cheered up.

"Nobles, don't you know, we are so poor, we were poor in the early years, when the situation was not good, when we encountered a drought or something, don't think about living a stable life all year long, and we can't even eat enough."

The old man spat and even danced with his hands.

"But whether it's a famine year or a good year, the emperor and his lord are thinking about us ordinary people, not only will not raise taxes, but also reduce them below! You say, is the emperor very interesting to us? ”

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard it, "It's really good to hear the old man say this." ”

"No! If it weren't for the fact that my old man really didn't have any money, I would have to set up an immortal tablet for the emperor! ”

The old man happily bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City, "The longer the emperor lives, the longer our good days will be!" Nobleman, you say, isn't this reasonable? ”

"Although we haven't read a book, we still understand this truth."

harvested a bunch of rainbow farts from the mouth of this strange old man, Kangxi's mood was so beautiful that he could go to heaven.

The two chatted a few more words, and the old man even invited Kangxi and his party to his house for dinner.

"There are a lot of people here, and their appetites are not small." Kangxi motioned to the old man to see it clearly, "Go to your uncle's house for dinner, I'm afraid I'm going to empty the rice jar of your uncle." ”

"It's okay!" The old man waved his hand, "The harvest has been good in the past two years, and it has been stained with the light of the emperor, and my family's rice bowl is not so easy to eat!" ”

"But what we eat is the simplest coarse tea and light rice, if you don't dislike it, you can change the taste!"

Sugar Baby, who had been listening with his ears pricked up, hurriedly raised his little hand, indicating that he had something to say.

"Toad, toad, sugar treasure has a few silver!"

She patted the fat duck purse.

Kangxi touched her oily and slippery hair, and the stubborn dull hair unyieldingly came out of his fingers, and swayed at Kangxi twice proudly.

"In that case, let's enjoy the farmhouse today, then bother you." Kangxi made the final decision.

When he entered his yard, the old man yelled twice into the house.

"Old woman, the distinguished guest is here, hurry up and cook rice!"

There was an immediate response from the back room: "Come on, call the soul, you!" ”

A short time later, an old woman came out with another younger girl.

"What's the matter?"

The old man said with a smiling face: "The noble man is here, you hurry up and cook a few specialty dishes!" ”

The old woman glanced at Kangxi and the others quickly, and a smile squeezed out of her face, "I know, I know." You know my cooking skills, I say second in our village, but no one dares to say first! ”

Then he said to the young girl, "Girl, slaughter the old hen at the back of the house, and make a chicken to eat today!" ”

Kangxi hurriedly stopped the old man, "You don't have to kill the chicken, let's just taste the dishes you eat on weekdays today!" ”

The old man waved his hand, "It's just a chicken, let's have a good time eating today!" ”

With so many people pouring into the farmer's house at once, the old man instructed the two female dependents to cook, and he himself moved the stools outside.

"All sit, all sit!"

He also put out a lot of roasted seeds and dried fruits, "all made at home, and the nobles can taste the taste." ”

Tangbao curiously picked up a piece of dried apricots and put it in his mouth, and in an instant, the sour taste made Xiao Tuanzi's facial features wrinkled.

"Okay, good sour duck......" she said as she endured the little pearl and covered her mouth.

This expression immediately made the others laugh.

The old man was surprised for a moment, looked around, and quickly put a small plate of preserved plums in front of Tangbao, "Eat this, this is not sour!" ”

Tangbao spit out the dried apricots in his mouth, drank saliva and rinsed his mouth, and then carefully ate a small plum.

"It's not very sweet...... "Xiao Tuanzi whispered.

Kangxi comforted her: "The dried apricots that Tang Bao'er ate just now are too sour, so I can't taste the sweetness now, it's normal." ”

Xiao Tuanzi hugged his cheeks and sighed sadly, "Okay." ”

Shi'a on the side likes to eat sweet, so he touched a piece of dried plum and threw it into his mouth.

"Huh."

The next second, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he wanted to say something.

The eighth elder brother poked him, interrupted the tenth elder brother's action about to speak, and whispered to him, "Don't talk." ”

Brother Ten: "??? ”

Brother Ten really doesn't understand what's wrong here, but he has the advantage of listening to smart people.

So after eating the sour dried plums in his mouth, he didn't dare to touch anything again, for fear that he would lose his teeth like a sugar baby.

At this time, the girl called Qin Yatou brought out all the hot dishes, and among the eight or nine dishes, chicken, fish, pork and other meats accounted for the majority, and then the rest were a few vegetables.

Qin girl said to the old man crisply: "Dad, my mother said that it was time to eat." ”

The old man's spirits perked up, "Okay, it's time to eat." Qin girl, hurry up and take out all the dishes and chopsticks! ”
