Chapter 201 Sugar Water
"See the Overseer, see Ma'am."

Ling Zhu came in and kowtowed to him after a long distance.

An Xu said: "Come closer and talk. What do you want?"

Ling Zhu took two steps forward, lowered his head and said, "The villain is here to beg Madam to let go of my marriage with Zhu Hong'er."

What's the matter, are you retiring together today?

An Xu asked, "Because of what?"

Zong Che was sitting beside him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. As a lady, she really treats everyone as a human being.

Such a temperament, maybe it was raised by the ghost world?

Or, what kind of ghost world can have such a rule that everyone is human?In other words, can a place with such rules be called a ghost world?

Could it be that he guessed wrong at the beginning, Xu'er actually came from the sky.

Just thinking about these things, I heard Xu'er's voice saying: "How much ceremony does the Zhu family want?"

Ling Zhu said: "Ma'am, even if you can lend it to me now, they will open their mouths every time in the future, and you can't borrow it again and again. My status is too low. The Zhu family asked about the son-in-law appointed by other families, so they don't like it." I deserve it too. So I just thought, let me tell you, and I went to divorce the marriage. "

An Xu asked, "What do you think of Zhu Hong'er?"

Ling Zhu smiled wryly and said, "It's just strangers I've met a few times, and the villain has no opinion."

I thought that after the new year, we could hold a group wedding together, but I didn't expect that the two villages would be ruined before the new year.

"Well, I have a very good girl here. I will ask someone for her opinion. If she is willing to meet with you, you can meet her." An Xu looked at the two of them who were relatively good. The person who was born was rejected by the inappropriate person, and suddenly felt that they really wanted to match each other.

If they can succeed, they will definitely not be wrong in the future.

But whether Qiaoer fell in love with Hou Liming that day because of his errands or because of his appearance, An Xu didn't know.

She also didn't mean to force the arrangement, it's up to them to make it or not.

Ling Zhu never thought that the governor's wife would worry about him as a soldier, and he was very moved. Although he felt that meeting again was unnecessary, he still sincerely kowtowed: "Thank you, Governor, Mrs. Xie."

After the people retreated, Zong Che squeezed together with An Xu again, hugged her on his knees, looked at her and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my wife to be the number one and unique matchmaker in the world."

Is it unique?She didn't want to complain.

Zong Che treats the Northern Territory as his home, and An Xu also wants to help. , so I really want to do this well.

On New Year's Eve the next day, I didn't get up early. After all, there are no elders here who need to pay New Year's greetings.

After the Chinese New Year, life passed quickly. An Xu would go to the woolen factory every two days to take a look. The new brothel girls had their own arrangements and gradually integrated into it.

But the wind on the prairie is still bitter, and you have to wear a big fur cloak when you go out, which makes it very inconvenient to move around.

At this time, An Xu missed all kinds of warm clothes in his previous life very much. What he missed most was not down jackets, but the kind of close-fitting and elastic brushed clothes.

Therefore, after going out every day, checking accounts, and occasionally wanting to treat herself with two delicious meals, she began to study materials that can produce elasticity.

This is a big project, and An Xu, who doesn't know anything about it, can only fumble around.

So she was doing useless work for many days. On this day, the weather was gloomy. An Xu worked for a long time in a tent he had split up alone, scrapped two glass bottles, and then came out disgraced.

When the servants who went in to clean up saw the glass on the ground, they were already in the habit of being distressed at the beginning.

"I don't know what Ma'am is doing?"

"It's a waste of one or two glass bottles every three days, and only the general can afford it."

The two muttered in the room to clean up the broken colored glaze, and then put them in a cloth bag. A precious thing like colored glaze, even if it was broken, would still be worth a lot of money.

Send it to a jewelry shop in the city, and people decorate it with gold and silver, and hang it up to be high-quality jewelry that doesn't sell for more than a dozen taels.

An Xu knew that they were tricky, but didn't they have that sentence?When the water is clear, there will be no fish.She doesn't allow these people to make mistakes in other places, and these one-star big ones don't count.

She lay paralyzed on the warm soft couch in the tent for a while, the wind outside made her feel thirsty, it was almost February, and there was still no warmth at all.

The wind blows all day, and it blows everywhere dry and cold.

An Chong came in rubbing his hands and asked, "Sister, why are you in a daze in the room?"

"It's nothing fun." An Xu got up, saw that there was still a little red mark under An Chong's nose, and asked, "Nosebleed?"

An Chong rubbed his nose, "This place is too dry. When the team leader saw my nosebleed, he insisted on giving me half a day off, so I came back."

An Xu pulled him to look in a bright place, "How do you feel now?"

An Chong moved his nose sharply, and said, "It still hurts."

"You wait," An Xu said, and went to the kitchen. After a while, a cup of golden chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea was served. "Drink a cup of this first, and I'll make some sugar water."

There happened to be lily and quail eggs in the kitchen. An Xu rummaged through the two baskets sent by his family after the year, and found two duck pears that were not so moist.

The autumn pear paste made during the Chinese New Year, except for the occasional gift to a few lieutenants, An Xu and his family of five ate it early.

Tea and pears are in high demand here.

This year, An's family will collect more tea and pears.

Soak the lily, cut two pears into hob pieces, add a few taels of rock sugar, mix it with water and cook it in a pot.

At this time, the quail eggs are boiled, and the egg liquid inside is almost solidified for about seven or eight minutes. Soak it in cold water, and then peel off the white and tender quail eggs, put them in sugar water and simmer over low heat.

"Sister, do you want me to help?" When An Chong lifted the curtain and came in, An Xu was pouring the separated cream into a clean basin, and said, "It's just right, open a can of peaches for me."

Opening the can of peaches that was sealed with a layer of soil on the outer ring, An Chong found a rag to wipe the edge clean, took off the hairpin on his head, lifted it from the lid, and reinserted the hairpin into the bun when he heard a squeak.

With a slight twist of the hand, the ceramic flap opens.

An Chong hugged the black pottery pot with a big belly, and took a big bowl handed over by his sister, and poured out a big bowl of peaches mixed with a fragrant liquid.

An Xu still has a lot of vegetable powder made when he is free, such as green spinach powder and red beet powder, which are enough to make a colorful spring ice cream.
