I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 82 Send calligraphy and painting, the county magistrate arrives

"Don't worry, let's leave first." Jiang Zhi waved her hand, then looked at Ouyang.

Ouyang was looking at Jiang Zhi, and was accidentally caught by Jiang Zhi.

"Ms. Jiang is right to take money." Ouyang said.

"Don't senior officials object?" Jiang Zhi thought that Ouyang would disapprove of her actions because of her status.If he really thought so, then there would be no difference between Ouyang and those sanctimonious hypocrites.Jiang Zhi was quite surprised to get this answer.

"Why do you object? The things belong to Mrs. Jiang, and it has nothing to do with me. The reason why I say that Mrs. Jiang is doing the right thing is because I consider people's hearts. People are always greedy. There are ways to destroy, I have experienced it several times.”

"From this point of view, there are similarities between civilian women and Ouyang officials." Jiang Zhi said lightly.

She also had to pump water to irrigate her own fields, so she couldn't take care of Ouyang, so she had to find a way to distract him.

Seeing that Jiang Zhi was going to work, Ouyang felt that trampling and pumping water was very fresh, so he said, "If Miss Jiang doesn't mind, can I let you try?"

Jiang Zhi paused, and said, "How can I bother you, sir?"

"Hey~ I'm not in an official uniform, and besides, I'm on your territory right now, so don't worry about my identity, just treat me as an ordinary person." Ouyang directly changed his self-proclaimed name to be more intimate.

"Okay, please trouble Ouyang officials." Jiang Zhi gave up the seat to Ouyang, and checked the bamboo pipes for water leakage along the way.

The hole she dug was only one foot deep, and it was unrealistic to irrigate the fields by leaching water from the soil alone, so she dug a hole to connect with the river, so that there would be a steady stream of water pouring into the hole, and the deep hole would not be drained. .

Ouyang felt relaxed at first, but after only half an hour, he felt bored.

This kind of unlimited repeated trampling, although people are sitting, their legs are also very tired.But he also boasted that Haikou wanted to help, so he couldn't give up halfway, not even a little lady.

Jiang Zhi patched up a few loopholes, and then blocked the holes drilled by Tanaka River Crab and others.

There are crabs in this field. It seems that this thing can be eaten, right?

Jiang Zhi suddenly thought of steaming hairy crabs, and couldn't help swallowing.

It was almost [-] noon, and the county magistrate hadn't come yet. Jiang Zhi left Ouyang who was struggling to pump water, and went back to the house to prepare meals.

Ye Xiaomei washed the courgettes (cucumbers) and asked, "Sister-in-law, will the magistrate really come?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Zhi took out the pickled vegetables soaked some time ago from the jar, and prepared to make a carp with pickled vegetables.I heard from Ye Xiaomei that this fish was sent by Erfang when they heard that the county magistrate was coming. In case the magistrate caught up with noon, he would add another dish.

When Li Jintian came to the door, he wanted the elders of the second room to accompany him for a drink.

Compared with yesterday's attitude towards Ouyang, Jiang Zhi felt that she seemed to be too harsh on him, and she only gave him a bowl of plain noodles, and she ate breakfast at the village head's house.

"Do you still have the mulberry candy we made last time?" Jiang Zhi raised her head and asked Ye Xiaomei.

Ye Xiaomei said while pouring the washing water, "I got it, I usually don't want to eat it." She just gave some away at the table last time.

"Give some to Ouyang later, and then replace him, little girl, I have prepared the ingredients, and I will leave the rest to you. I will cook the fish when I come back." Put the fish in the cabinet and cover with a banana leaf.

The fish was sliced ​​into flakes like snowflakes by her with a knife, and the bones and flesh of the fish were separated.She just doesn't taste good when cooking, it doesn't mean that cooking is not good.

She has watched countless videos of these big dishes, as long as there are enough seasonings, there is no reason why they are not delicious.

"Good."

Jiang Zhi looked at Ye Heng who was drawing on the sand table, fed him a piece of mulberry candy, and told him not to run around at home before going out to the river.

Ouyang stared at the purple-black candy in his hand, his scalp went numb for a while.

Is this really sugar?

Why is it this color?
"This is mulberry candy that has been boiled with nothing to do. It is mixed with mulberry powder, so it appears purple-black." Jiang Zhi explained.

"I see. This is the first time I've heard of the existence of this candy."

"Hawthorns can be icing, but why not mulberries?" Jiang Zhi's villain rolled her eyes, her feet were trembling when she just saw Ouyang get off the water pump.Ouyang is just a weak scholar who has never done any physical work.

In the future, her brother Heng can't be like this, he can't study hard, he should be good at both civil and military skills.If you don't breathe after walking a few steps, then this person will be useless.

Although Ouyang was regarded as the number one talented person in the world by the people of Daning, in Jiang Zhi's heart, he was not treated as a talented person.After all, she has no sense of belonging to this era, and is even less familiar with it.If she met people like Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi in the time and space of her previous life, she might still respect them.

"This candy has a slightly sour taste, but it's even sweeter, so the sour taste is not so obvious, but the aftertaste is sweet." Ouyang expressed his evaluation after eating the candy.

Jiang Zhi smiled slightly.

When she came here just now, she saw that there was already a layer of water about three inches deep in her field, and it seemed that she could lend it to the villagers to generate income tomorrow.

Ouyang took the sugar to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade, where seven or eight children were playing. He squeezed the mulberry candy in his sleeve pocket, and felt that it was not enough, so he gave up on sharing the sugar.

Thinking of the white sugar bought during the Dragon Boat Festival, and looking at the mulberry candy now, Ouyang's heart is bleeding.

Sugar is a precious thing, and now Mrs. Jiang gave him so much without blinking an eye.

Isn't this a debt of favor?
The fabric of the clothes on Miss Jiang's body is not good, and the furniture in the house is also old.

Ouyang immediately took a calligraphy and painting. He usually brought his recent calligraphy and painting with him when he went out. He also wrote a single poem, intending to give it all to Jiang Zhi.

In Daning, no matter how many people asked for his calligraphy and paintings, he could not find them. He only wrote when he felt like it, and never sold calligraphy and paintings.Now he especially wanted to leave some handwriting for Jiang Zhi as a gift from his confidant.

In the middle of the noon, several horses appeared at the entrance of Yejia Village. Li Jintian, magistrate of Xin'an County, was sitting on horseback, along with Chen Xiancheng, two craftsmen, and one of Ouyang's servants.

"My lord, the water truck is not far ahead." The boy pointed in the direction of the water truck, there should be someone there now.

Li Jintian nodded slightly, and rode his horse in the direction the boy pointed.Two craftsmen bumped on horseback, they could not ride a horse.Along the way, they feel that their internal organs have been turned upside down.

Chen Xiancheng rode at the end, and his Zhuangzi was next to Xiaoye Village. This was the village where the village woman who opposed him lived. Let him see the true face of this bold village woman today.

Not long after Ouyang delivered the calligraphy and painting to Ye's house, he heard a commotion outside, and the villagers rushed to Ye's water pump.
