Yan Qing asked some more about the baby girl. Liu Jiaqi only said that it was snowing heavily that day, and when his father opened the door, he saw a baby girl lying in front of their house. He was wrapped in an old coat, and in his arms was a jade pendant.

They thought that someone had given birth to a girl and didn't want to raise it, so they raised it themselves. Later, because of her admiration for Chen Gongzi, she entered Chen's Mansion as a seventh aunt.

The banquet gave them five taels of silver each, and let them go back.

On the way back, Liu Jiali was very puzzled by his eldest brother's approach: "Big brother, Ziyu is obviously my biological daughter with the Zhu family, why did you say that just now." ”

"Second brother, do you really not understand or fake don't understand?" Liu Jiaqi snorted coldly: "Master said that the son is from the capital." People have come all the way here, and there must be more important things to inquire about. We have guessed before that Gu Yunjie may not be an ordinary person's child, but may be a child from a wealthy family. I'm also gambling, and you don't understand my painstaking efforts at all. ”

Liu Jiali listened to his eldest brother's words, and his brain was a little chaotic: "Big brother, are you saying that the person they want is likely to be Xiaojie?" ”

"You don't want to think about where that jade pei dad got it. They knew the jade pendant, and they must know the owner of the jade pendant. If they didn't find it, it means that they didn't care about the life or death of the jade pendant's owner at all. Now that they're looking for it, I don't need to say anything, you understand. Liu Jiaqi patted the second child's shoulder and turned his head to look at Liu Zihao: "Zihao, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Dad, I naturally understand what you mean." Liu Zihao nodded: "As soon as you open your mouth, I will know." This Gongzi brother has a better temperament than the Qi Gongzi I saw in Fucheng last time, and looking at Lord Kang's attitude towards him, I guess that it must be the son of a certain official. ”

If the other party does not have an official position, or is an ordinary son-in-law, Lord Kang will not be so enthusiastic, let alone respectful and dare not overstep.

"The boy's attitude is also strange, and after hearing the existence of the baby girl, he didn't react at all."

"It's all to blame on Master Kang, if she hadn't said that Ziyu is now the seventh aunt of the Chen family, he would definitely have to see her. Now that Ziyu has become someone's aunt, he must feel that he has no face to admit it, so he didn't speak. ”

"What the hell is this son? If it was Xiaojie's relative, he didn't have any expression on his face when he heard about the situation of the baby girl. If he doesn't care about the life or death of the baby girl, it makes no sense for us to use Ziyu to pretend to be Xiaojie. ”

The other party values the baby girl, and it makes sense to fake it.

If the other party does not pay attention to it, it is meaningless to fake it or not.

"Dad, what should we do if that son doesn't pay attention? That boy is a noble man at first glance, and we ...... if we can catch up with him. Liu Zihao didn't say anything later, but Liu Jiaqi and they all understood what it meant.

If they can get in touch with the nobles in the capital, this is a big deal, and maybe their family can soar to the sky because of this.

"Big brother, why don't you tell that son, that there is still a wooden sign." Liu Jiali didn't understand this.

In addition to the jade pendant in the box, there is also a wooden plaque.

Maybe the wooden card is the thing that can prove the identity of the baby girl, why didn't the eldest brother say it.

"We have to make sure that the other person values the baby girl first. If the other party pays attention, he will naturally find us, and he will also wonder if there is anything on us that we have not taken out. took it out all at once, and it was not impossible for someone to take it away, and it was not impossible to find another girl to replace it. ”

Liu Jiaqi's temperament is similar to Liu Qingshan, both are good at calculation.

Before the other party inquired clearly, he would not tell the truth easily.

"Uncle, my father's consideration is right." Liu Zihao slowly spoke: "We have to find the purpose of the other party's trip." Whether the other party is coming for people or things, if it is for things, we naturally have to leave a little word on us. If it's for a baby girl, you should naturally have an attitude. ”

"That's right, if it's for people, as long as they are willing to recognize Ziyu, those things will naturally be a lot for Ziyu to take with them."

Liu Jiali moved his lips: "But Ziyu is not that baby girl after all, and they are not fools, they will believe whatever we say." ”

"Second, if you want to become a master, you are naturally bold. If you don't have the courage, how can you get it? Besides, if this matter is done, Ziyu will be a noble person in the future. ”

"Now the problem is, we just returned those things to Xiaojie the night before yesterday, and now we go back and ask for them, and they may not return them to us."

"That's a problem. Those things are definitely important, and we have to get them back. As for how to get it back, what can you do? ”

"The things belong to theirs, and when we return the things, we also admit that the things are the things that my father took, and it is definitely not possible to go directly to the door, so we have to find a way to get them back secretly."

"It's just one day away." Liu Zihao couldn't help but be annoyed: "You guys are too anxious, if you don't return it, who knows that those things are ours." ”

"If you hadn't suddenly fallen ill, we wouldn't have been in trouble. You can also see that as soon as the box is returned, your illness will be cured. "After all, it was something that was taken from the hands of a dead man, and it was somewhat empty-hearted.

The thing was returned the day before yesterday, and the son of the capital came here today.

"It's hard to say, it's easy to say. If that boy really came for the baby girl, we will tell the truth, saying that the contents of the box were snatched by the family, and I believe that the boy himself can get it back. ”

That son is not a mortal at first glance, plus a Kang adult, they want to take care of the family to the east, do they dare to go west.

"That's a way to do it."

When the three of them returned to the village, the villagers saw them coming back and congratulated Liu Zihao: "Zihao, Lord Kang is looking for you, is it because of your entrance examination?" ”

"It must be, if it wasn't for Zi Hao to pass the exam, why would Master Kang be looking for Zi Hao to go over."

"Zihao, you will be a showman in the future, but it's amazing."

Liu Zihao listened to the big guy's words and bowed his hand to the big guy: "Folks, Master Kang just asked me to ask questions, and didn't say the results of the exam." Now the results have not come out, thank you folks for your concern. ”

"Master Kang must have known some news in advance, otherwise how would he have come to you." He stood up with a smile: "Everyone go back, when the exact news comes back, our family will definitely have a big banquet, you must come over." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

When they got home, He tied the courtyard door and pulled them into the house: "You have been going for such a small half a day, what did Master Kang say?" Is it your grades that make Kang people pay special attention to you? ”

"Mother, it's not this, it's another thing." For some things, the family still needs to make a unified confession, Liu Jiaqi called Zhou and Zhu over and asked them to listen to it together.

After listening to this, the family was a little confused.

"What do you mean by that? Do you let Ziyu? ”

"I think that the identity of that son is extraordinary, and Lord Kang is respectful to him, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool. If we do come to find the baby girl, we'll have to take a gamble. "That's right, that's what he's doing.

He was silent for a while: "It's a pity that Ziyu has become an aunt to the Chen family." With this identity, if you want to marry any kind of family in the future, you can't marry it, and you still need to be an aunt to the Chen family. ”

"If Ziyu is really a nobleman, he will definitely come out of the Chen family in the future."

"That's just as well."

Zhu almost cried out about how her daughter, who was ten months pregnant, had become an abandoned baby: "What if they knew that we were lying, would it be dangerous?" ”

It is not difficult to brew a fact, but the difficult thing is how to make it come true. If the listener doesn't believe it, what's next.

"Don't worry, this matter has to wait. Don't let this matter go unnoticed, remember it well. If I'm not mistaken, the noble man will come to us. ”

……

The county ordered Lord Kang to send someone to find Liu Zihao to go to the county office, and Xiaojie naturally knew about it.

At this time, she and Chu Chu went up the mountain to look for herbs.

She now digs herbs not to supplement her family, but for her own use.

If you don't need it, you can store it in the lab and exchange it for other medicines.

The lab can't let itself be overwhelmed and don't have anything to send in.

"Guess he'll make it." Gu Yunjie asked.

"I guess not for that."

"What's that?" Xiao Jie walked carefully in the grass.

It's going to be hot. As soon as the weather is hot, there are many snakes.

If a few snakes suddenly pop up, it would be terrible.

"We'll go to the county seat tomorrow and find out." Chu Chu's intuition has nothing to do with Liu Zihao's exam.

"If the rice harvest is good this season, I want to buy more land to grow rice, what do you think?" In another month, the rice harvest will be complete.

If the harvest is good, it is natural to think about a variety of points. In this era, if you have food in your hands, you won't panic.

"It's easy." Chu Chu looked at Xiao Jie's back: "I'm afraid this matter is too eye-catching." ”

Xiao Jie thought of something and narrowed her eyes: "It's really not good, we don't eat this season's seeds, and sell them all as seeds." With our precedent in the first place, there must be more people who buy it. ”

As long as she doesn't hide it secretly, it's fine.

"Actually, it's simple, we can send some directly to the court." There are good things to offer as soon as possible, and they directly block the mouths of most people.

"Alas, what a nuisance." Gu Yunjie sat on a stone, took out a kettle and took a sip of water: "I just want to grow high-yield rice, and I have to worry about this and that." It's hard to be able to grow rice, but it's also a sin. ”

Chu Chu smiled: "It's not that complicated, don't think too complicated." Being able to grow high-yield rice is the welfare of the people, and it is too late for everyone to be happy. "For those in the upper echelons, it is important to know rice.

An acre of land yields an extra hundred catties, which means that one more child can be fed in a year.

"You're right, why do you want to do so much, take one step at a time. Now the rice seeds are in my hands, and I can't grow them as much as I want. If you change your race, you may not be able to do it. ”

"My lady is the best." Chu Chu did not hesitate to praise.

Gu Yunjie lowered her head and found a few stone mushrooms on her feet, and smiled toothily at Chu Chu: "We have another good mouth today." ”

I don't know if it's related to my experience when I was a child, Xiaojie especially likes to eat stone mushrooms.

I remember when she was a child, when she was just pregnant with her grandfather, her grandfather took her up the mountain to pick up stone mushrooms, and then fried them into vegetables, and she could eat two bowls of rice in one go.

The two didn't dare to pick up much, enough for two meals.

This thing is left unkept, and it will be very old if you stay at home overnight. When she gets old, the meat in it will turn black, very black and black, and she won't dare to eat it, she always feels that she can't eat it.

Back home, Xiao Jie asked Lingbao to peel the skin of the stone mushroom together. It's a big project, and in line with that sentence, it's delicious, but the process of making it is not simple.

If you don't peel off a layer of skin, the layer of sand attached to it is particularly difficult to wash, and if you peel off a layer of skin, it will be much easier to clean.

Lingbao looked at his own kind, without any sympathy, quickly peeled the skin, looked at some small ones, and secretly made them bigger again, so it was a lot easier to peel.

Xiao Jie looked at the stone mushrooms in the basket, didn't see a small one, and asked her daughter with some confusion: "I remember that I picked up a lot of small ones, and you threw them away." ”

Lingbao smiled lightly at his mother, and said softly in his mother's ear: "Mother, I let them grow up a little." Too small, waste hands. ”

Gu Yunjie: "......." ”

Can she still do this, so can she pick up some small ones in the future and make her daughter bigger?

"Sample." Gu Yunjie nodded her nose: "Can they listen to you?" ”

"Don't forget who I am, if I speak they dare not listen." She is a Ganoderma lucidum essence, a mushroom-like spirit, and these little mushrooms dare not listen to it.

"It's quite spirited, you can be careful not to let your great-grandmother find out." Lingbao is a Lingzhi essence, and now he is still hiding it from his father and grandmother.

"Got it."

In the evening, stir-fried stone mushrooms with green peppers, braised pork, and stewed beef brisket are served.

"Milk, I see a lot of stone mushrooms on the mountain, let's collect some and use them in the store for stir-frying." Xiao Jie ate a few bites, and thought that the stone mushrooms were so delicious that they could be put in the store and turned into a dish.

"You can pick it up on this mountain, and you can sell it in the store?"

"People who go to the store to eat are not likely to go up the mountain every day, and they don't have this time. Some businessmen who are away from home may want to take this bite. ”

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain with your dad tomorrow." There is not much farm work at home for a while, so it is good to pick up some stone mushrooms and bring them to the store.

"Look at yourselves, be tender, not too old, not too young. If you don't want to pick it up, you can also release the news, we are willing to buy. ”

"At first, I didn't know if I could sell it, so my father and I will go up the mountain tomorrow to pick up some, and you can take them to the store and try them." If it sells well, we will find a way to collect some and send it to the store on a regular basis. ”

Xiao Jie nodded.

Early in the morning, Gu Lan's went into the mountain, Xiaojie and the others ran back to make breakfast, and Gu Lan's came back with a basket on his back, full of baskets, like a hill.

"Grandma Zeng, take me with you next time you go up the mountain, I want to pick it up too." Lingzhi looked at the stone mushroom like a small mountain, and raised it with Gu Lan's mouth in a milky voice.

"You have to get up early, can you get up early?" Gu Lanshi asked with a smile.

"Call me when you get up, and I'll be able to get up."

"Okay, Grandma Zeng will take you with me tomorrow." Squat down and put the inside looking good, no old ones to the side, and put the bad ones, looking at some old ones, to the other side to keep for their own food.

Gu Yunjie put a basket of stone mushrooms in the carriage, sat in it with Lingbao, and Chu Chu walked towards the county seat with a wave of his whip.

Liu Yuehong looked at the stone mushrooms that Gu Yunjie moved down from the carriage, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Boss, these stone mushrooms, do you want to?" ”

"You're right, I want to add a dish to the store and see the reaction. I'll mention it. ”

There is no one who grew up in the village who doesn't know stone mushrooms.

This stone mushroom is a seasonal thing, and if you miss this season, you won't be able to find it if you want to eat it.

It is also not easy to preserve, and it can only be eaten fresh on the day of harvest in the morning.

"Okay." Liu Yuehong didn't say much, she directly lifted the basket down, and arranged for someone to peel the stone mushrooms by hand.

After a while, the shopkeeper came over.

"Xiao Gu, do you have any ideas about this stone mushroom, is it according to our usual practice, or is there another way."

"According to the usual practice, if you want to eat this, you have to eat the original taste, it is too complicated and distorted."

"What about the name of the dish?"

"Home-style white jade plate."

Shopkeeper Hu nodded and went down.

Soon such a dish was added to the menu.

Yan Qing planned to stay in Wuxian for a few more days because of the jade pendant. He walked around the street casually with his entourage, and when he saw the signboard of the world's best taste, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Such a small place still dares to call the world's best taste, I really haven't seen the world, and I don't know how big the world is." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the world. He wanted to see if the dishes in it were distinctive, and if they were not, he had to slap them in the face.

"Guest officer, how many?" Seeing that a guest came to the door, Xiao Er stepped forward enthusiastically. I also enthusiastically served vegetable water and a small plate of peanuts.

Yan glanced at the menu and ordered a few dishes casually: "That's it, you can't finish eating more." ”

"Would you like some wine?"

"No need."

Xiao Er took the menu, and the dishes were quickly served.

Homemade white jade plate, braised chicken nuggets, drunken goose.

The entourage poured tea for the banquet, and tried the dishes with a silver needle before the meal, and there was no problem before letting the banquet light eat.

The first thing to eat at Yan Qing was the stone mushroom, which looked very ordinary, and after entering the mouth, the taste felt very special.

He called Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, what is this?" ”

"Guest, this is a stone mushroom. This is a new dish from our store, half price today, you are in good hands. ”

"Stone mushrooms?" Yan Qing grew up in the palace since he was a child, where have he heard of this thing. After asking Xiao Er, he let Xiao Er go down, and then tasted chicken nuggets and drunken goose.

These two dishes can also be eaten in the capital, and he often eats them. After taking a bite, he felt that the taste was better than that he had eaten before.

He didn't believe in evil and tasted it a few more times.

Sure enough, the chicken nuggets were tender and the drunken goose tasted better, better than what he ate in the capital.

He said to his entourage: "No wonder you dare to call the world unique, the taste is still okay." ”

People dare to call this name, and they really have some ability.
