It's no wonder that Xiao Jinyue doesn't know that modern people raise pigs and castrate piglets when they are weaned about 20 days after they are born.

After castration, the pig grows quickly, the meat is delicious, and there is no smell.

And the people of this era are very casual in raising pigs, and they don't know how to castrate pigs, so the pigs raised have a smell, and the meat quality is not as delicious as modern ones.

Xiao Jinyue really couldn't stand the smell, and after trying to get rid of all the people in the kitchen, she quickly got some spiritual spring water out of the space, and added Dongpo meat, fat sausage, pig's head meat, and bone broth to it, which removed the smell.

"Madam, what is delicious today, I smell the fragrance from afar." Before anyone saw it, they heard it. Everyone in the flower hall heard a hearty laugh from afar.

Xiao Pingyuan, who had just returned home from duty, smiled and stepped into the flower hall.

Xue Shi smiled and got up to greet him, "Your nose is really smart, and people smell the fragrance when they are still outside." ”

"I have a good dish today, so I have to drink two glasses." Xiao Pingyuan said and laughed and went to wash up first.

Xue asked his subordinates to prepare the meal.

After Xiao Pingyuan washed up briefly, the family gathered in the flower hall to prepare for dinner.

Xiao Jinyue's stewed medicinal diet bone broth has a mellow soup taste, and when you take a sip, there is a faint medicinal food taste on your lips.

The meat of Dongpo is ruddy in color, fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, mellow and soft and rotten.

The stir-fried fat sausage is tender and crispy, delicious and not fishy.

The pork head meat sauce has a strong aroma and delicious meat, making it the best side dish to accompany the wine.

There are a few more crisp and refreshing side dishes, this meal, up to Xiao Pingyuan, down to the maid's house, everyone can eat it.

It's Xiao Jinyue, whether it's those kinds of meat or bone broth, she hasn't eaten a few bites.

Although she quietly used the spiritual spring water to get rid of the smell, at the dinner table, facing the meat dishes she made, she had no appetite.

Xu is psychological, she always feels that the smell lingers in her mind.

sighed secretly in her heart, this is a shadow in her heart, which makes her happily eat all kinds of delicious meat in the future.

The family was concentrating on tasting the delicious dishes she had made by herself, only Xiao Jinlan, who was sitting next to her, noticed that she only ate those few vegetarian dishes, and almost didn't touch those meats.

Facing the eldest sister's puzzled eyes, Xiao Jinyue could only explain that she forgot to eat lunch at noon, and because she was hungry after coming back from shopping, she had eaten a lot of snacks that had not yet been digested, and she was worried that she would be tired of eating meat again, so she prevaricated.

At the beginning of the lanterns, everyone was full of wine and food, and went back to wash.

Tonight's meal is really delicious, and the whole family gathers to enjoy it, Xiao Pingyuan rarely has such a relaxing time, and it is inevitable that he will drink a lot of wine at the banquet. At the end of the drink, the wine gushed up, and he wanted to boast about his little daughter in the sky and in the earth.

Xue knew that he had a lot of things in his heart, and it was rare to relax once, so he let him drink enough and did not persuade him.

Xiao Jinyue looked at her drunk father who was still talking about it with a smile, the Xue family who responded gently, and the eldest brother, eldest sister and younger brother who were satisfied, at that moment, her heart was full of joy and warmth.

Coming out of her father's side, Xiao Jinyue followed her eldest sister slowly and leisurely back to the West Chamber, washed up, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

……

The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Jinyue instructed the steward and the buyer to help her inquire about the purchase channels of cane sugar.

Hearing the little guy who said that a man named Liu Dashan was going to kowtow to him to thank him, Xiao Jinyue looked confused.

When the little guy brought people in and saw the little boy, Xiao Jinyue was quite surprised.

Here came the little boy I met yesterday when I was buying cane sugar, named Xiaoxi.

The one next to him is his father Liu Dashan.

It turned out that after Xiaoxi went back yesterday, she immediately boiled the cane sugar given by Xiao Jinyue to her mother.

At first glance, when she saw such a large bag of expensive cane sugar, Xiaoxi's mother thought that he had been abducted and tricked into it, and almost dragged her weak body up and beat him.

In order to reassure his mother, Xiaoxi had no choice but to tell Xiao Jinyue about giving sugar and buying firewood. But his mother was still suspicious after hearing this, and refused to drink the cane sugar he cooked, saying that she couldn't take other people's things for nothing, and asked him to exchange all of them back.

In Xiaoxi Niang's opinion, her son doesn't seem to know other people's noble girls, so he really shouldn't take such expensive things from other people.

In the end, Xiaoxi's father came back from the completion of the field, and after listening to what happened, he was silent for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and took the bag of cane sugar.

Liu Dashan didn't even bother to rest, turned around and took a machete and went up the mountain to chop wood.

His wife was bleeding heavily after giving birth and needed to make up for her body, so he couldn't bear to return the bag of sucrose, but let him take it like this, and he couldn't help it.

Due to the poverty of his family, he had no money to return to others, and struggled silently for a long time, and the honest Liu Dashan only planned to go up the mountain to chop more firewood despite his hard work.

One is to send some to the girl's house to be thanked, and the other is to send them to the city to sell, and then return them to others when they have saved enough money.

Before dawn today, Liu Dashan used a cart borrowed from a neighbor's house to load a large cart full of firewood and entered the city with his son.

As soon as Liu Dashan entered the flower hall, he immediately pulled his son, knelt down towards Xue and Xiao Jinyue, and kowtowed.

Xue hurriedly signaled the maid who was waiting on the side to step forward and help the person up, but Liu Dashan couldn't afford to live or die.

After kowtowing, Liu Dashan blushed and said, "Madam, my child is not sensible, I took the cane sugar given by Miss, and asked Mrs. and Miss to give me a little time, I will chop firewood and go into the city to sell it every day, and when I have enough, I will come back to buy the money for cane sugar." ”

Xue asked his subordinates to help Liu Dashan and his son up, brought a brocade stool for them to sit down, and asked the little maid to bring tea and snacks to entertain the father and son.

Xiao Jinyue saw the little boy sitting next to him stiffly, but he didn't dare to touch the tea and snacks brought by the maid, so he pushed the snacks in front of him with a smile and motioned for him to eat them.

Xiaoxi didn't want to eat it yet, but his stomach rang out angrily, and he was called out of bed by his father before dawn, and hurriedly ate a leftover bun from the day before yesterday, and walked so long into the city that his stomach was already hungry.

At this time, when I saw the delicate dim sum, I was persuaded by the fairy sister again, and finally I couldn't hold back my hunger, and reached out to pick up a piece of dim sum and ate it.

Xue listened to what happened, and knew that her daughter had the kindness to pity the poor and the weak, so she naturally would not object, "Xiaoxi met my little girl, which can be regarded as the fate of the two, since my daughter said that the cane sugar is given to the child, naturally there is no need to pay back." ”

Seeing that Liu Dashan blushed and wanted to speak out against it, Xue comforted, "Take the sucrose with peace of mind and cook it for the child to drink." If you don't want to go, you can help me chop firewood, and we will buy it from you at the price in the market. ”

Xiao Jinyue sat next to her and listened with a smile, sighing in her heart, is it really a mother and daughter, her mother and her thoughts are exactly the same.

While everyone was talking, the steward in charge of purchasing came in with a purse, saying that he had paid Liu Dashan the money for the firewood he had sent.

As soon as Liu Dashan heard that someone was going to pay for his firewood, he was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't help it, I can't make it ......."

He is a simple and honest man, and he feels that he has taken a large bag of expensive cane sugar from other people, which is already a great bargain, and the firewood on the mountain is worthless, but he wastes some effort to cut it down and send it to the city, where can he take other people's firewood money.

Although Liu Dashan wanted to refuse, he was helpless not to be the opponent of the Xue family, who was eloquent, and was persuaded by her in a few words, and took the purse handed over by the steward in a daze.

Seeing that Liu Dashan took the purse, Xiao Jinyue smiled and changed the topic without a trace, "Uncle Liu, do you know how to raise pigs?" ”
