The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 294 Preparations for departure ([-])

On the fifth day after Su Chengzhi came back, the Su family hosted another banquet. This was the last banquet before the Su family left Geshan Village. It was both a celebration and a thank you.

Maybe it was because Lu Jinkang came together, or maybe it was also because Su Chengzhi came back in person, the level of guests this day was much higher.

Of course, there are quite a few folks in Geshan Village, even the Zhang family was invited.

The distinguished guests were arranged in Shenquan Villa, and the folks, relatives and friends of Geshan Village, including the Ning family, were all arranged inside and outside the Su family's courtyard.

Fortunately, it was a cloudy day, and although the temperature was not low, it was not too hot. Dozens of tables were lined up, and the food and wine on the table were rich and delicious.

Whole chickens, ducks and fishes, large pieces of meat, and large bowls of wine made the villagers' mouths dripping with satisfaction.

The noodles at Shenquan Villa are much more refined, and they are a combination of meat and vegetables. Naturally, there are a few fresh dishes on the table.

Preserved eggs are added to the cold tofu, which is delicious and appetizing.

The boiled fish fillet has a more delicious seasoning than dogwood. Although everyone was so hot that they breathed heavily, no one was inferior to the action of chopsticks. In the end, it was a pity that the number of spicy dishes was too small, and someone wanted to ask I asked what kind of seasoning was added to this dish. It was so spicy that people wanted to eat it even after eating it.

Su Chengzhi didn't know that Su Yunduo had found a new seasoning seed. Although he felt that today's spicy dishes tasted very different from the usual ones, they were even more spicy, but it was just that the dogwood grown at home was also better than other people's home-grown dishes. more delicious.

When asked at this moment, Su Chengzhi just mumbled and couldn't explain why.

Fortunately, there is Lu Jinkang who knows the truth, but before the chili is officially on the market, it is not easy to reveal the bottom line in advance, but he also vaguely told the guests that the old doctor found a new kind of seasoning when he returned to the doctor's valley. There are too few, so we can only let everyone try the taste first.

Of course, Lu Jinkang had to advertise for Su Yunduo's tomatoes and peppers, and said that when the seasoning and new vegetables were successfully cultivated, he would send some to the guests' homes, so he fooled the matter.

It's just that, Chen En has another errand on his body. When the tomatoes and peppers in the field are harvested, he has to give some to these famous people in Yanshan Mansion to taste.

Of course, the happiest person today is Qian Bingtai. Today's spicy dishes are very popular, and he sees the money rolling in. He is so happy that he can't find his eyes on his chubby face.

After finishing the day's banquet, Lu Jinkang went to Yanshan Mansion together with the prefect of Yanshan and the general soldier. Before leaving, he asked Jiu'er to come over and tell Su Yunduo: "Miss Su, arrange the matter quickly. Turn back, that is the day of departure."

This is because he couldn't wait for the originally scheduled half-month period, and had to leave a few days earlier, so Su Yunduo reorganized the matter in hand.

After confirming that only the artificial lake was not in order, Zhang Zhong was hurriedly called: "Apart from planting grass and trees in the embankment, what else needs to be improved?"

On that day, Zheng Daniu took Zhang Zhong around the lake. Zhang Zhong was very satisfied with the entrance and exit gates and waterwheels of the artificial lake, but the bare embankment was really worrying. He found Su Yunduo and said that he would plant grass and trees for the embankment. .

Su Yunduo also knew that this was a big deal, so he specially asked Ning Zhongping to help find some turf and willow saplings. Zhang Zhong has been busy with Zheng Daniu at the artificial lake for the past few days, and even entrusted his marriage to Bai Ying in a few days. Nanny Han helped out.

Although Zhang Zhong and the others came to have a feast today, Xi Bi immediately went to the embankment to plant grass and trees on the bare embankment.

Seeing that the rainy season in Yanshan Mansion is coming, even if the embankments are rammed solid enough, they will not be able to withstand the heavy rain if they are bare. Only grass and trees can be planted to stabilize the soil.

"Everything else is good, only half of the embankments are not ready for planting grass and trees. The lotus pond is ready, and the water in the lake is almost enough. Miss, let someone send lotus seeds and fish fry." General Zhang Zhong Let's talk about the situation on the artificial lake side.

In fact, Zhang Zhong wanted to talk to Su Yunduo about lotus seeds and fish fry two days earlier, but Su Yunduo was too busy these two days, so Zhang Zhong had to delay this beforehand. Seeing Su Yunduo asked today, he would not Miss it again.

Su Yunduo really didn't consider the matter of planting grass and trees on the embankment before. She only felt relaxed and happy when she looked at the wide embankment and the big lake, but she forgot that the embankment needs solid soil.

When Zhang Zhong proposed to plant grass and trees on the embankment to fix the soil, Su Yunduo finally understood why when he looked at the embankment, he felt uneasy besides feeling relaxed and happy.

"Then I'll send someone to deliver the letter today, and it will be delivered in three days." After saying that, Su Yunduo pondered for a moment and then said: "In a few days, you will marry Baiying, and there are always some things that you need to deal with yourself. For the work on the embankment, you leave it to Zheng Daniu, and when the lotus seed fish fry arrives, you will be busy again! If the manpower for planting grass and trees is not enough, you can hire some part-time workers. Now it is the slack season, part-time workers are not difficult try to find."

Zhang Zhong rubbed his head in embarrassment and said: "I really have something to ask the girl for leave these two days, Zheng Daniu is not bad, he is very capable and hardworking, let him help me with it for these two days Take people to plant grass and trees.

It is best to finish the work of planting grass and trees before the arrival of lotus root seeds and fish fry, so as not to scare the fish fry, it is better to hire some part-time workers. "

Su Yunduo estimated the part-time labor needed in his heart, consulted Zhang Zhong's opinion, and turned to look for Liu Donglin again.

Liu Donglin was leaning on the bamboo couch at this moment, he drank a lot of wine in yesterday's event, and in the end his two sons carried him back home.

After all, he is an elderly person, not comparable to when he was young, and the aftereffects of getting drunk soon after waking up, even though Wei Shi prepared drunken soup for him, he is still dizzy and uncomfortable right now.

"I told you to drink less and drink less. I can't remember it. I feel uncomfortable. Humming, chirping, it's killing me!" Before Su Yunduo stepped into the courtyard of Liu's house, she heard Wei's complaint, He couldn't help but stop and pursed his lips and chuckled.

Don't look at Liu Donglin as a very measured person, but the appearance of the wine fight with others yesterday really seemed to be a different person.

"Aren't I happy!" Liu Donglin's momentum was a little weak despite his excuses.

"If one day we pass the Jinshi examination in Yushu, you will be so happy that you will fall into the wine vat!" Wei said angrily.

"Don't talk about the Jinshi, if our jade book can win the exam, so what if I fall into the wine tank, Guangzong Yaozu!" As if he had seen the beautiful things about Liu Yushu's high school, Liu Donglin's voice suddenly became a little high.

"That's true! I hope our Yushu can be more successful, and let us have a good time." Wei's tone was full of expectation.

"Father, mother, after Su Jinshi passed my uncle yesterday, didn't he say that as long as my uncle continues to work hard, it is only a matter of time before he wins the exam."

This is Zhang's voice.

Then it was Wei's sigh: "The county school in our Xiushui County is not as good as the Baiyun Academy in Fucheng. It would be great if you can go to Baiyun Academy to study with Lin Daru for a few years. It's just that our family's situation is not good. Menlu can't afford to send the jade book to Baiyun Academy."
