Chapter 26: Steamed Buns
Juxianzhuang, Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou.
Lin Lin and another guard dismounted and returned to the village.
That's right, she is out of the village again, and the original promise to Jilan has long been left behind by her......
Of course, she hasn't forgotten to tell the people in the village not to tell the rigid Uncle Ji!
And she still went on horseback, she only took two one-on-one riding lessons with Jilan, and then began to "go on the road without a license", although the speed of the "car" was not fast, but there were still some risks......
However, Lin Lin felt that since horses were the fastest means of transportation in this era, they had to learn sooner or later.
The other guards couldn't beat her, and they were not good at words, and they had to surrender in silence for two rounds at most.
Lin Lin went out to see Gongsun Qi in the city this time, people sacrificed so much for the development of the village, isn't it natural for him to take such a little risk to enter the city?
Because of the grounding of the head of the family's father, Gongsun Qi now has very few opportunities to leave the house, and even if he occasionally goes out, many guards and maids follow.
However, after Gongsun Qi came to the village to discuss with Lin Lin for a long time last time, they found a corresponding countermeasure.
In order to satisfy the future in-laws, Gongsun Qi's father specially invited people from the city's female red hall to enter the house, responsible for teaching Gongsun Qi's female red, thrush and other skills, as well as some lady etiquette and scholar rules.
At first, Gongsun Qi was very resistant, but after the exchange of going out of the house to study directly in the library was approved, she reluctantly agreed.
Of course, this is also the idea that Lin Lin gave her.
As long as she arrived at the Women's Red Pavilion, Lin Lin spent a little money to dredge up the people in the hall and find some excuses, and the two would naturally have a chance to meet steadily.
After all, they only need to avoid meeting with their subordinates, and once a half a month is not too frequent, and the girls in the hall only need to cover up the situation, so naturally they will not have any opinions.
However, this is only the first step to rescue Qimei, Lin Lin has already promised to help Gongsun Qi completely get out of the sea of suffering, but the specific method has not yet been determined.
Fortunately, Qimei's wedding date is one year later, and there is still time to plan slowly, after all, if you don't get it right, it will anger the Gongsun family, and it will be very troublesome for Juxianzhuang.
Now Lin Lin is most annoyed that he doesn't know when Chen Wentian will come back, if he can come back sooner, then just run away from home with Gongsun Qi, anyway, they are also going to find another place to start.
It's just that when it comes to Chen Wentian, Lin Lin always has only one sigh......

Back in the village, the sound of the children's reading came into their ears, which naturally included Ning Sheng and Ning Chao.
These days, with the help of Lin Lin and others, the two brothers are also gradually getting used to life in the Han Dynasty.
In order to integrate into this era as soon as possible, Ning Sheng also studied with the old Confucian students like Lin Lin, and he also participated in the "physical education class" taught by the Zhuang Li guard.
As for Ning Chao, he is very biased.
He has no interest in poetry and Confucianism, even if he is dragged by Ning Shengqiang to listen to the lectures, he still can't learn.
But if he takes martial arts-related classes, he likes it very much, whether it is riding or physical training, and it seems that he has a good talent and learns quickly.
"You're back, go, I've got something good to show you."
When Ning Sheng saw Lin Lin coming back, he gave the old man a salute, then got up and came out and couldn't wait to say to Lin Lin.
After speaking, he urged Lin Lin, who was a little confused, to go to the kitchen together.
When the two walked to the kitchen, Lin Lin smelled a familiar fragrance, and when she saw Ning Chao, who was running with her, holding a big steamed bun and stealing it, the surprise in her heart naturally went without saying.
"This ...... Is this a steamed bun? Where did you get that? No, you've made flour!? ”
Lin Lin was very surprised and stammered and asked.
She finally remembered that Ning Sheng found her some time ago and said that she wanted to buy some wheat, but at that time she didn't understand what it did, after all, there were not many wheat cultivation and applications in the Han Dynasty, and now she understands that it was originally used to grind flour......
Ning Sheng took out some flour from the kitchen and showed it to Lin Lin, and then pulled the greedy Ning Chao and said:
"This is the last one, you can't eat it anymore, I don't grind much this time, I'll let everyone taste it later, you won't have enough points to eat again!"
Ning Chao, who was limited in the amount of food he could eat, was unhappy when he heard this, so he had to reluctantly put back the other steamed bun in his hand, after all, except for seafood barbecue, he hadn't eaten something so close to the taste of the future for a long time.
Lin Lin took the steamed bread handed by Ning Sheng and looked at it carefully, although because the fineness of the flour could not be compared with that of later generations, the surface of the steamed bread looked rough, and the color was not pure white.
But there is not much difference in eating, and it still retains the original wheat flavor.
"It's really good, I haven't eaten steamed buns for a long time, and it's more fragrant than what I bought in the supermarket before!"
Lin Lin took a bite and chewed it, and praised happily.
"Of course, he also praised this steamed bun for Uncle Chen, saying that it was better than that of Huaxia Restaurant."
Ning is more addicted to mouth, and naturally he is also helping his brother to speak.
Ning Sheng touched the back of his head and smirked on the side, but after a while, he remembered something and asked Lin Lin to go with him to see the flour grinding tools again.
The three of them left the village and came to a mountain spring behind Dog Mountain, and Lin Lin saw a newly built small water mill.
There is a waterwheel built next to the mountain spring, and the impact of the mountain spring can be used to drive the rotation of the grinding plate, as for the rest, she doesn't know much about it......
Seeing that Yu He was also admiring his works on the side, Lin Lin naturally praised him in the past.
She only understood why Ning Sheng always came to Yu He mysteriously recently, Bacheng was discussing this, Ning Sheng had no carpenter skills, and only through Yu He could he put his ideas into practice.
"Uncle Yu, you must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"
"That's not it, Ning Boy is not ambiguous, and I have changed it many times back and forth! Alright, you've seen the water mill owner, and I'll go back and repair my shelter......"
Yu He took the opportunity to express his credit, and then happily went back to continue working.
The shelter he is in charge of is very large because it has to accommodate everyone in the village to live temporarily, and it involves many types of work that he is not good at.
What's even more excessive is that Chen Wentian and Lin Lin only arranged two helpers for him in order to keep it secret, so he has not been able to complete it until now.
"Uncle Yu worked hard, I'll ask someone to send you more steamed buns later."
Lin Lin smiled and said to He, she still understands the art of leadership to some extent. Turning around and seeing Ning Sheng who was still smirking on the side, she asked again:
"How did you come up with this, it's amazing!"
"I didn't ...... Nothing, just trying to make you eat better. ”
Ning Sheng suddenly blushed and said with some twist.
Seeing his brother's appearance, Ning Chao on the side said with a smile that he didn't think it would be a big deal to eat melons:
"Sister Lin, don't you understand? My brother has a crush on you! ”
