Chapter 41: Forty-one days of being an old lady

The donkey cart swayed along the county street, which is very different from the village. The stone path is surrounded by shops of all kinds, some making clothes, some making ironware, some selling wine, and some making food...... The sound of talking, shouting, and singing all came to my ears.

Hu Lao Er said that this is the most prosperous section of the county, and the old lady has not entered the city for many years, I am afraid that she has forgotten the place where he works.

"Mother, the front is the restaurant where I work, and the third child met Prince Anji here last time. Do you want to go in and sit? ”

Hu Lao Er said this politely, with his understanding of the old lady, he would definitely not go in.

But he forgot that this was not the same time as before, and that the old lady was surprised to see everything.

"Well, you arrange."

Hu Laoer: "......"

The water that was spilled out of the words was spilled, and Hu Lao Er had to patiently help the old lady get out of the car. Looking at the door of the restaurant in and out, I couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity that the prince is gone, and I don't know when I can come again?"

Prince Anji is generous, and the reward money for those few days alone can be worth several months' wages. Of course, you can't say this to the old lady, Hu Lao Er still wants to save some private money.

The old lady got out of the car with the help of Hu Laoer, in the end, she was old, and she felt stiff after sitting all the way.

She couldn't help but think of the sticks in Zhang's yard, and she didn't know if Zhang's had any exercises to strengthen her body. She has all the strength, and she can beat her son, but if she really meets an opponent, she is afraid that she will suffer.

Hu Lao Er had already helped everyone out of the car, and the little man in the stable came over to take away the donkey cart with great eyes.

Hu Lao Er was by the old lady's side, and he was very attentive.

The people around him wore long robes, some wore silk satin, and all of them were dyed bright red. The coarse cloth clothes worn by the Hu family are incompatible with this place, just like people from two worlds.

Don't look at Qinghe County, it is just a small county seat, but because it is close to Lin'an City, the water system is developed, and the economy is prominent, so it is the other courtyard of many dignitaries and nobles.

Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, the popular wind direction of Lin'an City blows from here.

The old lady glanced at the diligent Hu Lao Er and broke his mind:

"You also want to send game to the prince?"

"Mother said this, who doesn't want to?" Hu Lao Er generously admitted. Since Hu Laosan got a reward of 200 taels of silver, he was told by the restaurant guys. Who wouldn't want to replicate his myth?

It's a pity that this kind of thing is hard to come by, Hu Lao Er has worked in the restaurant for many years, and he has only encountered this once.

Just think about it, it's not extravagant.

Seeing that he looked calm and had no obsession, the old lady nodded lightly and sighed:

"Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too persistent."

A young man in green clothes walked in front of him, and the old lady happened to pass by and listened to this, and his steps paused slightly.

Hu Lao Er was also stunned in his heart and smiled:

"That's what my mother said."

The old lady is becoming more and more literate.

The man in Tsing Yi and the old lady staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, looking like everything was the same. After a moment, he looked back at the old lady deeply.

And the old lady was ignorant of this, and followed Hu Lao Er into the restaurant.

The restaurant is a three-story small building, the first floor is the hall, there are many people sitting in it, and the old lady has a curious expression when she comes in. The consumption in the restaurant is not cheap, and there is no one who comes here in coarse cloth clothes like an old lady.

However, the old lady was taken to the second floor by Hu Laoer, which aroused everyone's curiosity. What is the identity of this old lady that can make Hu Ledger so receiving?

The layout of the second floor is completely different from that of the first floor, which is specially designed to entertain dignitaries and dignitaries, and cannot be entered without an appointment. On the Bogu shelf that occupies one wall, there are various exquisite pottery wares, so that the guests can be full of wine and food and have a vassal elegance.

Around the corner is the entrance to the third floor, but even Hu Lao Er can't easily go up. The second floor is for dignitaries, and the third floor is for entertaining imperial relatives. Here you can overlook the entire Qinghe County, and the scenery is the first part of the county. Prince Anji is attracted by the scenery here, and every time he comes to Qinghe County, he has to sit here.

Compared to the full seats on the first floor, there are not many guests on the second floor, and there are many empty seats. Hu Lao Er helped the old lady find an empty table and sat down, and then ordered to run to the hall to serve food.

Although the guests on the second floor were also curious about the old lady and her party, they did not look at it wantonly, but even a vague glance was unsettling.

Hu Yue'er was close to Hu Yan'er and couldn't sit still. Even the Cong family, who often comes to the county seat, is apprehensive. Every time she came, she stayed in the small courtyard, and never went up to the second floor.

The old lady was so calm that it felt as if she came here a lot. Although the clothes are out of place, his demeanor is not timid at all.

Hu Laoer's "dismounting" failed to receive the desired results, so he quietly put away his thoughts and enthusiastically introduced the food on the table to the old lady.

"Mother, this is a peach blossom cake, you can taste it."

The three-finger-wide round pastry is pink, and the whole delicate blooming peach blossom is placed on top, just looking at it can be reminiscent of the refreshing aroma of peach blossoms.

The old lady suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Is there a lotus cake?"

At the beginning, in order to fool Hu Guangmao into going to school in the city, she told the lotus cake vividly, and I don't know if this stupid boy has eaten it?

"Huh?" Hu Lao Er was stunned for a moment, and shook his head honestly: "No." ”

He muttered quietly:

"It's strange, Guangmao also asked me for lotus cake."

The old lady touched the tip of her nose and lowered her head to bite the peach blossom crisp.

Not to mention, it is fragrant but not greasy, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the mouth is full of peach blossoms, which is delicious.

"Mother, how is it?" Hu Lao Er asked with a smile.

A pair of smiling faces on the second child, the old lady had a feeling of uneasiness and kindness.

put down the chopsticks and said lightly:

"Okay."

Seeing that Hu Lao Er was still smiling, he added:

"It's almost interesting compared to the peach blossom cake that your father took me to Lin'an City to eat."

Hu Laoer: "......"

When the old lady was young, she followed Hu Laohan to the north and south, and Hu Lao Er was not sure if the old lady had really eaten peach blossom cake, but the old lady was right about one thing.

"What my mother said is that this peach blossom cake came from Lin'an City. In order to get the prescription, the shopkeeper paid a full 1,000 taels of silver. ”

So valuable?

The old lady asked Tongzi in her heart: Is there a recipe?

System: Don't think about it, no.

Hu Yan'er's eyes lit up suddenly, but because she was immersed in eating, no one noticed her abnormality.

The tea was full, and when the old lady learned that the meal cost one or two silver, her eyes lit up.

"Second child, it's out."

can spend a tael of silver to invite the old lady to dinner, it seems that Hu Lao Er has made a lot of money these days.

Hey, it's wool gathering time again!

Hu Lao Er was happy when he saw the old lady, and said casually when he said beautiful words:

"My mother finally came to the city for a trip, and of course I want my mother to eat and drink well. I'll do more work for these two pieces of silver, and I'll be able to pay it back sooner or later. ”

When he said that he would do more work, his eyes were full of bitterness, but he still forced a smile, and he was bound not to let the old lady see his grievances.

Cong Shi was so distressed that he looked at him with a full expression.

"Dad, you've worked hard."

The strand of broken hair in front of Hu Laoer's forehead drooped down, which was even more difficult.

The husband and wife sang and harmonized, and they were full of money and money when they opened and closed.

The old lady also followed suit:

"The second brother's consciousness is high, much stronger than your eldest brother. Let's go, and then accompany my mother to buy two sets of clothes. Looking at other people's floral cloth clothes, mothers are also rare. ”

Hu Laoer: "......"

"Mother, I still have to go to work...... "Accompany the old lady to buy clothes, doesn't he have to pay for it?"

That's not what he meant at all, okay! He spent money on the old lady, why didn't the old lady give him the silver? It wasn't like this before!

Hu Lao Er roared in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. The old lady knew that he was good-looking, and then ordered:

"It's okay, it's the same with your daughter-in-law and son, you give her the silver."

Look, the old lady can't cure you?

Hu Laoer: "......"

Cong: "......"

The nephews and nieces all stared at it, and Hu Lao Er could not ride a tiger, so he could only bear the pain and take out half of the money.

As soon as he passed through Cong's hand, he entered the old lady's pocket.
