Chapter 138: Millet Cake
"Young Master, you must be interested in what I just heard." Bafang came out from behind the stove, "It has something to do with the bunch of two flowers!" ”
Lai Cai glanced at Bafang, "Why is the young master necessarily interested in the matter of Shu Erhua?" What is rumored by others, you also follow the coaxing? You know that the young master has nothing to do with her. ”
"What are you interjecting, I don't mean that, in the end, it is the first lawsuit adjudicated by the Yamen, and it is normal for the young master to be curious about her current situation."
Meng Changqing stirred the stick in the pot from time to time, "I'm not interested, I'm not curious, if I don't get my hands dirty, I have to care about her for the rest of my life, I'm not such a kind person." ”
Bafang sat back on the stool in disappointment, not interested in what else to say.
"Say it." Meng Changqing was helpless, "It really makes you hold back, you can't sleep well at night." ”
Laicai quipped, "That's not it, I don't tell him when I'm awake, and I have to tell it as if I'm asleep." ”
"Let's talk about it." Come to the money to urge.
"When I went to Luo Sanmu's house, I happened to hear his woman talking about Shu Erhua, guess what, some people from the same village plan to tell Shu Erhua to Luo Yu."
When Meng Changqing heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "What you said, Captain Zhang has already said it just now. ”
"Huh?" Bafang said strangely, "But this is what I just heard, how does Captain Zhang know?" The women haven't officially said it yet. ”
"That's it?" Laicai glanced at Bafang, "Didn't I tell you your daughter-in-law, why are you so energetic?" ”
"Isn't this asking the young master, then Luo Yu looks much better than the man before Shu Erhua, right? Although he doesn't talk much, he doesn't have a mother-in-law at home......"
Without listening to what Bafang said, Meng Changqing dropped the spoon in his hand, "I should send you back to the capital, you are staying here, your eyes have fallen to the ground, I am afraid that you will never be able to pick it up in the future." ”
"Hey, young master, don't be angry......"
"Laicai, you continue to stir, and when it is sticky and laborious to stir, stop the fire and wait for it to cool." After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Young Master!" Bafang chased from behind the stove to the door of the kitchen, seeing that Meng Changqing's footsteps were getting faster and faster, knowing that the other party was unwilling to take care of him at the moment, so he didn't catch up, "What did I say wrong?" ”
"Didn't the young master say it?" Laicai asked him to go back and continue to burn the fire, "You shouldn't always keep an eye on other people's affairs, besides, when you say it, you always want to joke about the young master, do you think the young master can't hear it?" Our young master is very shrewd, and he still wants to play tricks in front of him. ”
"You really misunderstand me." Bafang explained, "I see that the young master wrote an official document early in the morning and wrote it until now, and I want to say some gossip to distract him." ”
"Then you should also talk about other idle things, why do you always mention the second flower?"
Bafang felt wronged, "How can I always mention her?" But there are no other strange things in our town, and people in the town are spreading about her. ”
"The young master is staring at the official documents, the accounts, the city wall, which is not more important than this kind of thing?"
Bafang sighed, "In the past, when we were in the capital, the young master could take us to the street to play without going to the palace, but when we arrived in Liangzhou, it was all business all day long, and we couldn't finish it." ”
"What was the identity of the young master before, and what is his identity now? Although the Qipin county officials are not ranked in the upper ranks, they are the parents and officials in the end, but those who are serious and responsible will not have time to be idle. ”
Bafang couldn't talk about wealth, and suddenly approached him, "Why can you say so much now?" Did you secretly read some book behind my back? ”
"Look at your head! Sit back and light the fire. ”
Since Shu Erhua rented Luo Yu's house, Luo Yu would occasionally go home from the post official to see if she had anything to help, and if she ran into something that she couldn't move alone, she would give her a hand.
Luo Yu pitied this person very much, the more he understood, the more he felt that it was not easy for her.
When I was in my mother's house, I didn't have a good life, but when I arrived at Wang Lamei's house, I met such an elder who was a grinder.
Fortunately, the county lord opened his eyes and asked them both to write down the peace paperwork.
After staring at Erhua for a long time, Luo Yu suddenly understood his luck, although he lost his parents at an early age, he finally had a grandfather to rely on, after his grandfather died, the county lord made him a post officer, taught him what to do, and sent him a fixed amount of silver every month.
The only trouble he had when he grew so old was that there was no one around him to talk to.
After chopping the firewood in the yard, he moved into the stove room, and saw that there was a wooden barrel in the pot, and the barrel was steaming, and there was a sweet smell in the heat, and he couldn't help asking, "What is this doing?" ”
"Millet cake." Shu Erhua opened the lid of the pot and let him see.
When the heat cleared, all I could see was a reddish-brown inside, "Why is this color?" ”
"The top layer is jujube paste." Shu Erhua said, "Didn't the adults ask me to make something that can attract people to buy, I remember when I was a child, I went to Liangzhou with my fellow villagers to catch the market, and I once saw this, but unfortunately I only saw it from afar, and I didn't taste it."
I tried it several times, and today this pot is the best taste, the top layer is the jujube peeled and made into jujube paste, and the bottom is the millet ground into powder and mixed with some white flour steamed out, you taste it. Shu Erhua cut a large piece for him without mercy.
"It's expensive and cumbersome." Luo Yu rubbed his hands and didn't know whether to pick it up or not, "Just cut a corner for me." ”
"It's not a waste of anything." Shu Erhua put the cut millet cake into the bowl and plate, and then handed it to him, "You shouldn't have eaten when you come here now, just fill your stomach with this." ”
"It's a shame to use such a good thing to satisfy your hunger."
Luo Yu picked up the plate and tasted it in small bites, he was quite face-saving, "It's so sweet!" This taste is much better than millet seeds, they are all the same thing, why is this so delicious? ”
"You eat more."
It's probably really delicious, Luo Yu didn't stop eating it next.
After watching the other party finish eating, Shu Erhua asked, "How is it?" ”
"Delicious!" Luo Yu said quite surely, and nodded very hard.
"Can you sell it?"
"It's going to sell."
Shu Erhua smiled politely, "I have something I want to trouble you." ”
"You say."
"Can you help me send a piece to the county master? He has a lot of knowledge, and if he thinks it is good, I will be at ease. ”
Luo Yu looked out the window, it was already completely dark at this time, "It's a little late today, I'm afraid it's not good to go to an adult at this time." ”
"And what about tomorrow?" Shu Erhua said, "I'm not in a hurry, I want the county master to taste it, and I also want him to get an idea, see how much this thing can be sold for, how to sell it?" ”
Luo Yu's face was a little embarrassed, "These little things, adults shouldn't have time to take care of them, right?" ”
"I was reckless." Shu Erhua was also overjoyed, and she didn't expect this for a while, "Yes, then I'll look at it myself." ”
"Hey." Luo Yu thought that Shu Erhua was unhappy, "I can ask the eighth master of the yamen for you, he has seen a lot of things with the adult, and he should know it too." ”
Shu Erhua said excitedly: "Thank you!" I'm really sorry for you! ”
