Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 8

Even after hearing what Gu Yao said, Gu Yingying just kept cooking, neither defending nor admitting it.

Mrs. Zhou came here to help with the cooking, and even though she had a good relationship with the Gu family, she didn't want to get involved in their family affairs.He just smiled politely at Shen Ruyi, and walked to the stove to help.

Seeing that Gu Yingying stacked the sliced ​​radish, she raised the knife and dropped it quickly, and she cut out the shredded radish that looked like vermicelli in a few strokes.

Surprised and sighed, Zhou said to Gu Yingying's mother, Qin Lingfeng:
"Ying'er's shredded radish is really good. I dare say that in our village, there is no other woman with such a good handicraft as her."

Qin's eyes were full of joy, but she still had to be modest, "Sister-in-law Xu is flattering her. We Ying'er's skills are good enough to show off in our house. How dare we compare with the folks?"

Zhu Shi was not happy, "Mother, my little sister already deserves this praise, what's there to be modest about?"

"As a sister-in-law, you know how to protect my sister-in-law." Qin Shi gave Zhu a shy look, and really didn't know what to say about this daughter-in-law.

Hearing her mother, second sister-in-law, and Aunt Xu chatting happily, Gu Yingying suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

I couldn't help thinking, if the original owner was still alive, maybe they wouldn't be able to see how good her cooking skills are, right?
Even my mother said this when chatting with Aunt Xu:
"It's only recently that I have tasted the dishes made by Ying'er herself. Not to mention, they are much more delicious than mine."

Mothers know how to be human, which not only encourages their daughters, but also does not belittle their daughter-in-law.

In this respect, she admired her mother from the bottom of her heart.

Several people ignored Gu Yao and the others. Shen Ruyi, a mother, couldn't let her daughter argue in the kitchen, so she dragged Gu Yao out.

Soon, several women came to the door of the kitchen and asked Gu Yingying and the others if they wanted to help?

Gu Yingying looked at the dishes placed on the wooden table, smiled and replied:

"When I finish this fish hot pot, I can serve food. After a busy day, you all go to the cubicle to sit down and drink some water."

When only the family eats, the whole family sits at the table and eats together.

But when guests come, the family will clear the cubicle so that some women can sit in it.

And those men will be accompanied by the male master of the house, sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

a while.

The fragrant food is served on the table.

Sitting in the cubicle next to the main room, Gu Yingying could hear the words coming from the main room, all of which praised her.

It's all the same as what Zhou said, saying that she is a good cook.

She soon heard what her father said:
"Everyone is free to eat whatever they like. Although there are no delicacies from mountains and seas, as long as we can get together and have fun, it's no worse than eating delicacies from mountains and seas."

There was a sound of toasting and crossing.

After a while, Gu Yingying heard Gu Qingfeng telling Lizheng that he would do his best to harvest millet for the villagers.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

It's getting down to business.

It's just that there was constant laughter in the room over there, and she wanted to continue eavesdropping for a while, but it was a bit difficult.

Mrs. Zhu picked up a chicken leg for Gu Yingying, and reminded her softly: "Eat it quickly, or it will be cold later. Alas, you have been busy for so long and cooked so many delicious dishes, but you don't know how to eat them well. "

Gu Yingying looked at Zhushi gratefully and nodded.

There is something hidden in my heart, even if I face a table of delicious meals, I don't have much appetite.However, he still picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of scrambled egg with chives for Zhu Shi who was sitting beside him, urging Zhu Shi to eat some too.

"Put the soup." Gu Yao, who was sitting opposite, pointed to the big porcelain bowl, and said to Gu Yingying in an orderly tone.

Qin was displeased, but she quickly stood up and reached for the bowl.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruyi also stood up all of a sudden, with a forced smile on her lips, and said to Qin Shi: "Sister-in-law, I'll do it."

"Mother!" Gu Yao quickly reached out and squeezed Shen Ruyi's hand tightly, not letting her go.Where is the reason for them to serve these country girls?
"Second aunt, let me do it." Before the two elders left the dining table, Zhu hurriedly brought out a bowl, and soon brought another bowl of pig's trotter and lotus root soup, which was still placed in front of Gu Yao.

Seeing that Gu Yao was serving soup with a spoon again, she first filled a bowl for herself, and then filled a bowl for Shen Ruyi.Gu Yingying was puzzled. The two mothers and daughters both eat a lot, but they are both thinner than themselves.How long are they?
You know, the bowl of soup on the opposite side has not been touched by anyone else at the table.

When Gu Yingying was looking at Gu Yao, the women at the table were also looking at her.

It's just that she didn't care to eat much, and she didn't pay attention to the eyes of Mrs. Zhou and the others, they had already lingered on her face for a long time.

The guests left after eating and drinking. Gu Yingying and Zhu Shi packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash.

After a while, Mrs. Qin went in and told Gu Yingying the good news:

"Ying'er, your father just told me that all the folks who came to the banquet today said in front of your Xu Shibo: They can do the harvesting of rice by themselves."

This means that they don't need money, and they don't need to contribute?
Gu Yingying shook her head.It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I think it's not very kind.

Mrs. Qin saw what Gu Yingying was thinking, and said softly: "Maybe they went to the city to find a master, but they couldn't even make the windmill well, so they wanted to use our tools."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yingying said generously, "Then lend it to them and take turns."

I heard from Xu Shibo before that the blacksmith who helped her make tools will not do external work this year.As for the reason, Xu Shibo didn't say anything.

Anyway, when harvesting in the rice field, I also heard some villagers talking in private, saying that the blacksmith was a master, and he used to specialize in making weapons.

Whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, there is a rule that the swords made by craftsmen must be marked.

If anything goes wrong, there is a penalty.

Neither the master master nor his disciples had any problems.

This is also why the master master dared to take over the job, and dared to insist on fairness when faced with pressure from the magistrate, "I made it according to the drawings given by Gu, and I didn't know how to make it after listening to you." come out."

In desperation, the magistrate gave her the reward.

These words were all mentioned by Xu Shibo after the magistrate delivered the imperial food to the imperial city.

Standing in the kitchen, Gu Yingying discussed with Qin Shi before she went to rest, how to pay back the favors of the villagers in a few days.

It is a question of who will bring the harvester to whose field, who will help harvest it, and who will drag the windmill to use it.

As for drying and harvesting millet, try to help the elderly as much as possible.If it weren't for the fact that the original owner and the second elder brother didn't know how to handle affairs, even the children of the old people wouldn't be imprisoned, and they wouldn't be so tired.

After taking a bath, Gu Yingying went back to the room to rest.

Not long after she lay down, she heard a soft knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he found that it was Mrs. Zhu standing at the door.
