Zhou Qiongniang said diligently: "I'll eat later, you and the third brother will eat first, isn't the third brother going out of the valley today?" You won't send him for a while? You hurry up and eat, we are not in a hurry. ”

After listening to Zhou Qiongniang's words, Lu Chenyan suddenly felt that the bun in his hand was not fragrant, he looked at Lu Shiyan on the side, and then looked at Jiang Tangtang and said, "When will Daddy come back?" ”

Lu Shiyan, as usual, did not sleep, but sat on the side and meditated. He opened his eyes and lifted the guy up, "Go brush your teeth first, and I'll tell you when I'll be back." ”

Lu Chenyan soared all of a sudden, forgot to be sad, and laughed excitedly. Jiang Tangtang also stood up and said to Zhou Qiongniang: "Second sister-in-law, I'll go wash up first and come to eat again and again." ”

Zhou Qiongniang looked at the family of three who walked away, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, these three people are really becoming more and more exquisite, and they don't look like croppers.

But after thinking about it, what Lu Shiyan is doing now is not a farmer. Although she didn't know what a lieutenant was, she knew that it must be a big official, and she had to take the imperial examination before she had a chance to be a lieutenant.

But now that the third brother has become a god, their family will change their family in the future.

She was a little envious in her heart, but when she thought about the danger outside, she didn't have any thoughts.

Glory and wealth are also to have a life, and it is glory and wealth.

Although they are not as rich as the third brother outside in the valley now, they are correspondingly not so dangerous.

She only hopes that Lu Shiyan will come out and promote her two children after settling down in the future.

Lu Shiyan is now a lieutenant outside, and everyone in the village knows about it, except for the Lu family.

It's not that he deliberately showed off, it was purely that last night when Village Chief Song asked how he got so much iron and hit so many farm tools, Lin Erzhu accidentally said that he leaked his mouth.

They had already said that they had already leaked their mouths, and Lu Shiyan also felt that there was no need to hide it, so he simply told Village Chief Song about the situation, and in this way, the whole valley knew about Lu Shiyan's current becoming a captain.

Guo Xuantong struggled in her heart for many days, and had already made up her mind to marry Xiong Zhuang, but now when she heard that Lu Shiyan had become a captain, she was suddenly unwilling.

The village didn't know the rank of the lieutenant, but she knew it.

Although the lieutenant was a military attaché, he was a county-level lieutenant, which was even older than her father's previous officials.

And with his ability, his future official position will definitely be more than that.

She thinks she is no worse than Jiang Tangtang, why is her life worse than her?

Guo Xuantong tossed and turned on the ground and didn't fall asleep all night, listening to the movement of the Lu family, and hurriedly went to the river to freshen up.

Everyone in the village eats the water from the river, so they will consciously go to the lower reaches of the river to wash clothes or something.

After a long time, many people downstream built stools and washboards with stones, and many puddles were surrounded by stones to facilitate washing.

After Lu Chenyan washed up, he sat by the puddle and ate steamed buns, and when he saw Jiang Tangtang, he immediately said happily: "Mother, there are a lot of small fish in the water." ”

Jiang Tangtang tilted his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a lot of small fish, and said with a smile: "I'll bring the net when it's empty, and we'll go back to fry some fish for you to eat." ”

"What is a small dried fish?"

In the past, there was also a small river outside Dawan Village, and the villagers would go to the river to catch fish and eat them at home in their spare time.

But people in this era are reluctant to use oil to fry fish, and most of the fish caught are steamed in a pot, which tastes fishy, which also leads to ordinary villagers not liking to eat fish.

Lu Chenyan has never eaten small dried fish.

Looking at his sparkling eyes, Jiang Tangtang felt that the little cub was really cute and pitiful, she said: "It's just dried small fish, fried in oil, fragrant, and mixed with spices." ”

But now their family really lacks everything, and the only fat is wild boar and wolf meat that have been cured into bacon.

Wild boar meat has a little more fat, but wolf meat is mostly lean meat, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take out the excess oil to make small dried fish.

Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but think about how to get more oil. It's hard for her. As far as she knows, in addition to rapeseed, soybeans, peanuts, corn, etc. can be fried into cooking oil.

She doesn't have anything else now, but there are a lot of soybeans in the space. How can soybeans be squeezed out of oil, and she will study it when she is free.

Listening to the practice of dried fish, Lu Chenyan felt that the bun in his hand was more fragrant.

Guo Xuantong wanted to find a chance to try again, but she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she looked at the bun in Lu Chenyan's hand.

These days, she eats at Lu's house, although she is not hungry, but when Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan are not at home, what to eat every day is Su Shi's final say.

Su Shi has endured hardships and is very anxious, even if there is food at home, he is reluctant to eat more.

They are all wild vegetables such as cassava konjac and eaten with grain. Although meat is also made, it is only distributed to men who do heavy work.

Like herself and her two daughters-in-law, they have no share.

And like Cui Shi and Guo Xuantong, in her eyes, they are purely eating rice, and they have no share.

Guo Xuantong only felt miserable. When she reacted to the fact that she was drooling at the bun in the hand of a little kid, Guo Xuantong felt even more humiliated. She is the daughter of the county family, and she has actually fallen to this.

Guo Xuantong was unwilling, and when she saw that a few people were about to leave after washing, she hurriedly chased after her, "Brother Lu......"

Lu Shiyan said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Xuantong pursed her lips and said, "Brother Lu, I heard that you are now a captain, can you help me contact my uncle?" ”

"Good!" After Lu Shiyan finished speaking, he took Lu Chenyan and left.

Guo Xuantong was stunned. Because he refused to ask Lu Shiyan to escort them back to Jiangzhou the first few times, she took it for granted that he would not help.

She was just looking for an open reason to contact Lu Shiyan, but who knew that this time he simply agreed.

Guo Xuantong couldn't understand why he suddenly agreed, and even began to think about it.

Could it be that he is now a lieutenant, knowing that Jiang Tangtang can't help him at all, and finally thinks of her.

Her heart beat faster at the thought of this possibility. There is a smile between the eyebrows and eyes.

On the other side, Jiang Tangtang glanced at Lu Shiyan a few times, "Are you really going to help her contact her uncle?" ”

"Master Zhang's private treasury is running out of food."

Lu Shiyan only said such a sentence, but Jiang Tangtang understood. Zhang Kui can take out not much food, but in order to develop the army, he still needs a steady stream of food.

And the Cui family, as the largest business in Jiangzhou, must have a lot of grain in their hands. Whether it is the kindness of saving the lives of Cui's mother and daughter, or considering the interests of their own family, the Cui family will provide food support.

Of course, maybe the Cui family is reluctant to give food, but since Lu Shiyan is taking this move, he must find a way to let the Cui family take out the grain in the end.
