Early in the morning, the silence in the yard was broken by the sound of horses barking.

Inside the house

Qin An sat up and got dressed, turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law who woke up next to him, "Sleep again, I'll call you when you're ready." ”

"No, there are a lot of things to do today, there are a lot of fish in the fish pond, I plan to make smoked fish, Xianggong, it's not the right time for you to come back, and you have to work as soon as you come back."

Su Yan stood up and went to the cabinet to get coarse cloth clothes, this time she was fishing, so naturally she couldn't put on her clothes.

Thinking of this, she wrapped a cloth on her head again, so that she would kill the fish and not be afraid of the scales flying on her head.

Although this day shampooing dries quickly, but on the hair, washing laboriously.

Qin An bent down to fold the quilt and said in a low voice: "It's just the right time, otherwise you will be tired and have back pain." ”

Tuan Tuan was probably woken up, crying one after another, Qin An walked out quickly, and it didn't take long for Tuan Tuan to stop crying.

Knowing that there was something going on today, Dongzi woke up, and he didn't need Su Yan to say anything.

If Su Yan was too lazy to make breakfast in the past, she just went out to buy some, and her family finally came back for a few days, so she naturally had to improve her food.

"Xiaoxiu, go out and buy some fresh pork and come back, I'll make some dumplings to eat."

"Xianggong, Tuan Tuan doesn't cry, you can come and knead the dough, saving me half a day."

"Here we are." Qin An handed the child to Cuilan and followed him into the kitchen.

There are many people in the family, even if it is to make dumplings to eat, it doesn't take much time.

When eating, Dongzi couldn't help but praise, "Madame's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Su Yan smiled, "If you like to eat, eat more." ”

She gave the dumplings in the bowl to Qin An, and whispered: "Xianggong, help me eat a few, as if I am not hungry, I will be full after eating a few." ”

Qin An looked at her, slightly worried, "Can't eat again?" ”

"No, maybe I ate too much last night."

As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, there was a shout outside the door: "Boss, are you up?" ”

"Get up."

Su Yan hurriedly got up and opened the door, and Zhou Pingsheng came with the fish, "Put it in the yard." ”

"Uncle Zhou, if you're not busy today, come and help me for a day if you're not busy, and the salary will be calculated as two hundred yuan."

She is generous on weekdays, Zhou Pingsheng will definitely not ask her for this money, besides, she called him to work righteously, and he was paid.

"I'm not busy, I've been paid, I don't want it."

Su Yan didn't say anything to him, and when the time came, she would directly give the money, "Move in and eat first, Xiaoxiu, and scoop a bowl of dumplings for Uncle Zhou." ”

"It's so embarrassing, eating and drinking." Zhou Pingsheng hurriedly waved his hand.

At this time, Qin An strode out, then bent down to lift the big wooden barrel and entered the courtyard steadily.

Zhou Pingsheng sighed: "The strength of the owner is really great. ”

"I'm used to doing farm work before, come in, Uncle Zhou, start working after eating."

Su Yan said this, and he was embarrassed to say anything more.

The pickled fish hung in the yard full, and the spicy fishy smell permeated the entire yard, and passers-by looked at it again and again.

There were probably a lot of people, and the 100 catties of fish were finished in the morning, so I pulled another 100 catties over.

I was busy until noon, but fortunately I ate dumplings in the morning, and I wasn't very hungry.

A group of people were tired all morning, Su Yan's arms were sore, and she didn't want to cook, so she asked the food shop to send the vegetables over.

After eating, Tuan Tuan shouted that he wanted to fall asleep, at this time he asked Su Yan to hug and coax, Qin An didn't let him, he carried him out, and after a while, he hugged him back.

Tuan Tuan was already asleep.

Su Yan whispered: "Put it in our house, be quiet over there, I'll send Erdan to a private school and come back later." ”

After speaking, she beckoned to Erdan and led him out of the yard.

Zhang Xiu and they can also do these things, but they are afraid that they will be too careful, and children are already sensitive.

Sun Erdan is very well-behaved, other children at this age always walk around, but he stares at the people around him, for fear of hitting Su Yan.

"Mother, do you want to eat sugar gourds? I'll buy it for you, and I've saved a lot of money. ”

Every few days, his mother would give him some money and let him buy food or things he wanted to buy by himself.

He didn't lack anything, so he saved it.

"Eat." Su Yan said.

Erdan happily shouted to the uncle who sold the sugar gourd, and counted five wen before taking the sugar gourd and handing it to Su Yan.

Su Yan fed it to his mouth, "You help my mother eat some." ”

Erdan opened his mouth to bite the next one, and he caught a glimpse of her eating it too, smiling and her eyes were slit.

After sending the second egg to the private school, she went home directly, which would be Qin An washing the dustpan used in the yard.

After the fish is stained, the fishy smell is heavy, so you have to wash it carefully with soap.

It's a bit clumsy for the big man to do these small jobs.

"Soak there, I'll wash it later."

Qin An looked up at her, his eyebrows and eyes were soft, Su Yan came over and fed him the sugar gourd, "I bought the second egg." ”

Qin An opened his mouth to bite it, chewed it twice and swallowed it, "Go to sleep in the house." ”

"Don't be sleepy, take advantage of the good weather, I'll make some dried vegetables for you to take to the capital to eat."

Su Yan finished eating the last sugar gourd, lifted the vegetable basket on the side of the threshold, took out the greens inside, and sat next to him to wash them.

Wash and dry on a string.

Probably the hemp rope was dried, a little hard, and it was accidentally stabbed.

She quickly withdrew her hand and looked down to see if anything had entered.

Qin An naturally noticed, put down the work in his hand, and shook his hand over, "Pierced?" ”

He reached out and took her hand, looked closely, there were obvious short thorns, reached out and pulled it with his fingers, and he didn't get it out for a long time.

Soon he went to the house to get a needle, picked it out, and then lowered his head and sucked it through his mouth.

After finishing and looking up, he saw his daughter-in-law looking at him with a smile, he laughed and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, let's go back to the house and sleep." ”

Of course, Su Yan knew what he was thinking, and said angrily: "Rest, there are still a lot of things you haven't gotten when you go to the capital." ”

Qin An inserted the needle into the thread group again, "You don't need to prepare, it's easy to break if you bring too much." ”

At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, the two looked over, Ning Yi got off the carriage, and Su Yan knew that he was here to recruit a cook for the imperial dining room.

"You go to the hall to sit down, and I'll get the recipe."

She entered the house very lightly and quickly came out with the recipe.

Ning Yi glanced around, there were fish and vegetables hanging in the yard, the Qin family had done a lot of business, and it was already a wealthy family in the county seat.

But every time I visit, it's like an ordinary person.

"What are fish made for?"

"Smoke and sell in winter."

Su Yan handed him the recipe and said: "There are no dishes in the capital, I don't know the taste of that one, these dishes are sweet, spicy and clear, and let the cook adapt when the time comes." ”

"Have you chosen a good cook? I suggest that it is best for you to go to someone who can be trusted by the Ning family. ”

If the dish is made to the right taste, the emperor will reward it, and the Ning family will naturally benefit.

Choosing a chef is naturally very important.

Ning Yi looked at the recipe and said warmly: "I have chosen." ”

He glanced at Qin An, and then looked at Su Yan, "Are you going to the capital?" In a few days, we will return to the capital, and the guards in the capital have already spent money to check it. ”

"It's a big favor for you to help my family."
