Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 194

At the second door, there was already a strange old woman waiting. When she saw Shen Jiayan, she looked her up and down. Seeing that she was neatly dressed, she showed a reserved smile and led her inside.

It's still in the flower hall, the personal nurse next to the county magistrate's wife is waiting.

Seeing Shen Jiayan, she was taken aback, "Ms. Shen looks more energetic than last time, and her complexion is much better?"

Shen Jiayan bowed to the nanny before saying: "It's all thanks to Mrs. Lai and his wife's care. Now our family has no worries about food and clothing, and our life is going smoothly. Natural energy will be fine!"

After hearing this, the nanny couldn't help showing a smile, and signaled Shen Jiayan to put down the pannier she was carrying to the nanny who brought her in, and took her to see his wife himself.

After hearing this, the unfamiliar old woman stretched out her hand to pick up Shen Jiayan's basket.

Shen Jiayan dodged her body and said to her close nurse, "Nurse, it's not that I don't understand etiquette, but that the things in this basket have to be presented to the lord and madam in person, so—"

The words were only half spoken, and the personal nurse of the county magistrate's wife understood.

This nanny's surname is Dong, she is the nurse of the county magistrate's wife, she is the most valued by the county magistrate's wife, and she is in charge of almost everything in the backyard.

Therefore, he looked suspiciously at Shen Jiayan and the basket, and his heart was a little drummed. Last time, the good-looking mushrooms that Shen Jiayan sent, my wife liked them very much, and sent some back to her natal home, and her natal home even wrote a special letter to praise her. .

Could it be that Shen Jiayan found something good again in the mountains this time?Is it a good medicinal material?Or ginseng?Lingzhi?

After hesitating for a while, Mother Dong waved her hand to signal the woman with vivid eyes to back out, and then looked at Shen Jiayan: "Ms. Shen, according to the rules, the things in this basket have to be checked by the old slave, otherwise the things from outside are not safe. It cannot be presented to the master."

Shen Jiayan saw that there was no one else in the room, since the last time she came here, she could tell that this nanny was the county magistrate's wife's confidant, so she didn't hide it from her, and signaled Dong nanny to come in, and then lifted the straw curtain on the back basket, revealing a flat mouth The jar was sealed with kraft paper, and when the kraft paper was removed, a jar full of something like snow-white salt grains could be seen inside.

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

You must know that the salt eaten by the world today is the kind of large grains of salt that ordinary people have. After returning home, they have to smash it by themselves to use. If there is too much salt, it will have a bit of bitter taste.

Only officials and eunuchs can afford pure white salt, which is expensive.

Even in their mansion, even though the lord is the county magistrate and his wife has a rich private house, it is rare to see such white and delicate salt.

She raised her eyebrows, where did this country woman get the salt?You know, this salt is not something you can buy casually, it is controlled by the government!Even she has never seen this kind of salt, could it be private salt?

What kind of operation is this to send private salt to the county magistrate's backyard?
Momo Dong couldn't understand it for a while, she just asked dumbfounded: "Shen, Mrs. Shen, this, this is?"

They all stuttered a bit.

Shen Jiayan didn't expect that Mammy Dong suspected her of buying private salt, and thought that Nanny Dong was a smart person, and was amazed by her white granulated sugar, er, no, plum blossom snow sugar.

Stretching out her chest, she pretended to be calm and said: "Nurse is a person who knows the goods, I think I recognize it, my plum blossom snow candy—"

"You private salt—"

The two opened their mouths together and closed their mouths together.

After a while of silence, the voices of the two rang out at the same time: "Private salt?"

"Plum Blossom Snow Candy?"

The room fell silent again...

After a long while, Mammy Dong figured out that what was in the jar was not private salt, but plum blossom snow sugar made by the country widow in front of her!
Mammy Dong is also a well-informed person, she has seen brown sugar and brown sugar, but she has never seen such white sugar as white as snow.

Especially the name is also wonderful!Plum Blossom Snow Candy!Isn't it just like plum blossom snow?

It's just that she still has some doubts, so don't blame her for thinking too much, she is just a little widow in the country, how can she refine such high-quality sugar?

Furthermore, this is an entrance item, without verification, why can't it be sent to the master, right?

Shen Jiayan saw Dong Nanny's concerns, smiled, and asked Dong Nanny to borrow a clean spoon.

Mammy Dong came out of the flower hall, called a little girl at the door, gave some instructions, and after a while, two clean spoons were delivered.

Shen Jiayan took one, scooped a little white sugar in the jar, and put it in his mouth, a burst of sweetness spread in his mouth.

After waiting for a while, Mammy Dong saw that Shen Jiayan's expression was fine, so she scooped up some sugar with a spoon and licked it lightly with the tip of her tongue, and the sweetness that she had never experienced before overflowed on the tip of her tongue.

I couldn't help but licked two more mouthfuls, my mouth was full of sweetness, the candy was delicate and soft, it melted in my mouth, it was sweet, without any miscellaneous taste.

It is several times better than the brown sugar used in the house.

Even in her city, she couldn't control the exclamation and joy on her face, she hurriedly put down the spoon, made a confession, and ran to the main room.

After a while, he ran back in a hurry and signaled Shen Jiayan to take the jar of candy and the pannier, and followed her to the main room.

The main room is spacious, and two little girls at the door lowered their heads and opened the curtain when they saw Dong Nanny and Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan followed behind into the house, and only saw the furnishings in the house, although she basically didn't recognize them, but she could tell that they were not ordinary.

The county magistrate's wife was in the side room next to the main house, serving tea, her brows were a bit sad.

Seeing Shen Jiayan coming in, she wanted to salute her, so she was stopped by Madam Dong, who sat down to talk, and served tea and snacks.

After Shen Jiayan sat down, he smiled and exchanged some greetings, first asked about his body, and then asked how the children at home were doing.What's the trouble?
Compared with last time, his attitude was more friendly.

Shen Jiayan smiled slightly, answered all the words of the county magistrate's wife, and added a few words of flattery, coaxing the magistrate's wife to iron her heart, the smile on her face became softer, and then she got down to business.

First served the jar of plum blossom snow sugar, and then took out a jar from the back basket, which contained brown sugar, and opened it in front of the county magistrate's wife.

"Ma'am, this is the result of a few months of refinement after the woman got a sugar refining recipe by chance. The woman's family dare not enjoy it to herself, so they specially picked the best two of them and honored them to adults and children. lady--"

Madam Dong said hello in advance, and the county magistrate's wife really saw the plum blossom snow sugar. Although her heart was turbulent, her face was still steady.

Hearing Shen Jiayan's words, he finally moved his eyes away from the plum blossom snow candy, and looked at Shen Jiayan with a little more intimacy and satisfaction: "It's hard for you to think about me and my lord! Participated!"
