Chapter 47

"Qingqing!" Qiao Yun waved to Meng Shaoqing at the door, "Miss me?"

Her words successfully eased the embarrassment between Mrs. Lu and Meng Shaoqing.

Meng Shaoqing immediately replied loudly: "I want to!"

She ran over patteringly, took Qiao Yun's hand and couldn't help jumping on the spot twice happily: "I heard Auntie said today that I want to clean out the wing room in my yard, so I know what you should do right now." Here I come. Sure enough, as soon as I got here, I heard my mother making me up, don't trust her, I'm obviously good, hum."

"I didn't say you're not good, why are you so anxious? The guests are here, you don't salute first, but start arguing with me." Lu Shi raised his chin in Yun Xuemei's direction.

Meng Shaoqing's eyes lit up when she saw Yun Xuemei, she saluted Yun Xuemei again, and said crisply: "How is your body?"

Yun Xuemei smiled, she nodded, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, your body has recovered. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become more lively."

"No wonder you look so good, you really look better! You look better than before!"

"Sister Yun family, you were sick before? I haven't heard Qingqing mention it. What's going on?" Lu Shi asked.

"It's just a cold and a cold, it's not a problem. Your son invited Doctor Meng Xiao from Xinglin Hall, and the medicine she prescribed is very effective."

Seeing that the two of them were going to chat again, Meng Shaoqing was not happy, she interrupted immediately after Yun Xuemei finished speaking: "Have you finished your polite conversation? Can you let me take them back to the yard for a rest first?" ?”

The main room is big, but it is indeed a bit deserted. Just to warm up the open room, five braziers need to be raised.People who live for a long time have to waste a lot of charcoal fires, and the couple don't live in the main house in winter.

So Mrs. Lu readily agreed, and also got up from the seat barrier: "That's fine. I've already had the stove lit in advance in the wing room over there. Qingqing, please take your sister and the others to rest first, so don't bother me too much. You two chatted after lunch."

When Qiao Yun heard the word lunch, she was quite eager to try it, and asked Lu Shi with a smile: "It was originally agreed with Mr. Sanlang of your mansion to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Now I want to try it out in advance, so that Madam can know Basically, I’m not afraid that I’ll screw it up.”

"Good boy, I can trust you! You will be busy tomorrow, but not now." Lu Shi couldn't help but say, changing his amiable attitude just now, he refused with a strong attitude, "It's impossible to let the guests come and cook Why? Go back and have a rest! Try your handicraft tomorrow!"

Qiao Yun also realized at this moment that her proposal was indeed not very polite, so she nodded with a smile.

The wing room across the courtyard is the same as the main room across the courtyard, three rooms wide and two rooms deep, it is really not that big.But the windows are bright and clean, the furnishings are elegant, and all kinds of decorations are available.Because it is winter, the various tables and tables in the house are covered with brightly colored tablecloths to cover up the cool-colored furniture as much as possible, at least it doesn't look so clear and cold.

Qiao Yun likes this kind of aesthetics very much, even the magistrate's wife is different from the dignitaries in her impression.

When she followed Wang's husband, Cao Qingye, to the county government office to get the land deed stamped by the government, she met the county magistrate.The middle-aged man with the Chinese character face looked serious and unsmiling, which made people daunting, and his majesty was enough for a county parent official.

But because of too little contact, Qiao Yun couldn't judge whether he was a good official or a stupid official.

The next month of living in Quwo County allowed her to feel that the parents in this county were indeed not fainted, and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, but they still had an instinctive fear of the county government.

From the few words that Meng Shaoheng leaked, she could at least be sure that this was a very strict father to his son.

At first, I thought this county magistrate was the kind of ordinary county magistrate in the peaceful and prosperous age, but seeing his wife today, I felt a little bit different.

Being able to marry such an interesting woman as his wife, and let his son and daughter be taught by his wife to be so approachable and not put on airs, shows that this is also extraordinary.

After entering the room, she first checked her luggage.

The maid had already arranged the luggage Qiao Yun had brought, and neatly folded the clothes into Jinping's Huali wardrobe. The bottles and jars are also placed in a small box on the kang table.

These bottles and jars are seasonings prepared by Qiao Yun.

After all, she is also responsible for cooking a New Year's Eve dinner!There is no shortage of all kinds of meat this season, the most important thing is fresh goods.In ancient times, there was no plastic greenhouse technology, and winter was nothing but radish and cabbage and all kinds of pickles pickled in the late autumn.

When she was cooking for Yun Xuemei before, she didn't have such concerns. Although the fields in the game don't produce vegetables in winter, the warehouse can keep them fresh forever.Ever since she had a showdown with Yun Xuemei, she didn't even buy food after it snowed.

This was before going out, Yun Xuemei reminded her, she just remembered this.

Therefore, she brought all her usual seasonings with her. Those bottles and jars contained not only oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in reality, but also white sugar, fresh honey, red chili noodles, ground black pepper.

Most importantly, there is also local monosodium glutamate made from mushrooms, scallops, and kelp, which is an important foundation for her future fortune.

Qiao Yun opened the box on the table and was relieved to see that there was a lot of these seasonings in a bottle without knocking.

The servant girl sent the two of them to the house and served tea, Qiao Yun then asked, "Where are the dishes I brought?"

"Back to Mrs. Qiao, it has already been sent to the kitchen. Madam knows that these are the ingredients you prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she specially ordered the big kitchen not to handle them privately."

That's good.

Qiao Yun nodded in satisfaction.

She also brought a few green vegetables, some spinach, two handfuls of shallots, and two green onions.

"Ma'am, I want this servant to ask you how you got such a new thing in the winter?"

These green vegetables make people feel happy just looking at them.

Qiao Yun smiled and said: "Put it in a clay pot and place it beside the kang. My house happens to have a spare room that can be exposed to the sun all the time, so it won't be damaged by freezing in the house. That's fine, you go back first." Bar."

"So that's it! It's a good idea to grow vegetables in the kang room!"

The little girl saluted happily, put the teacup on the table, and stepped back.

After the maid left, Yun Xuemei frowned: "It's really possible to grow vegetables like this? Why did you tell Fang Zi to others?"

"It's strange if you can grow it. What can be grown in a clay pot is not enough to fit between the teeth! I brought it from there!"

Qiao Yun looked at Yun Xuemei who was already sitting on the bed, and said with a smile, "What do you think of this place?"

Yun Xuemei groaned, supported the bed and pressed on it twice: "I'm not used to it. It's not as comfortable as our bed."

Hearing this, Qiao Yun went over and touched the mattress, then lifted the sheet to have a look.

The bed was covered with two woolen blankets and a sheepskin quilt. It could be seen that the owner did his best to keep the bed as warm as possible.It's a pity that there is no thick cotton mattress, and the bed is very hard, which may be slightly better than directly laying bamboo mats on bare boards.

The quilt is also a eiderdown quilt, but it is not as thick as the one she made herself, but it is enough to keep warm.

Qiao Yun laughed and said, "Do you know cotton?"

Yun Xuemei raised her eyes and looked at her: "I only saw it in Fuzhou and Lingnan, but how did you know this?"

"Then it's easy to explain to you. I use cotton mattresses to make my bed!" Qiao Yun pointed to her stomach, "Cotton has been taken to the north and south by merchants at the place connected to here. Not only can cotton It is soft enough to be used for sewing quilts and mattresses, and it can also be spun into thread and woven into cloth.”

Yun Xuemei was startled knowingly, and quickly lowered her voice.

"Then you should be careful and don't reveal it to others. This is a good thing to make money. How much can you sell it for if you spin it in the future!"

Qiao Yun couldn't help laughing, Xue Mei Niang was now just as interested in money as she was.

She nodded: "That's natural, but the time is not right now, so we can only use it privately first. Don't show your disgust on your face, it's not easy for people to make such a big sheepskin mattress."

Qiao Yun walked around the house quite freshly, touching this and that, feeling very envious of such a house.

"In the future, our family will also have to build such a yard, and then build a small garden. There will be flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool wind in summer and snow in winter. The place to live must be comfortable! What's enough for our small yard?"

Yun Xuemei was also infected by her smile, and added: "Then we need to build a small pavilion in the yard! Drink tea in the pavilion in summer evenings. Let's buy some maidservants as nurses, and I will teach them martial arts."

"It's better to open a vegetable garden like Wang's family to grow some vegetables, and then build a grape trellis. At that time, I will dry the raisins to make snacks, and I can also make wine and sell them for money."

"Then you have to dig a cool and ventilated cellar! Wine can't be exposed to the sun."

The two of them conceived of the future yard with one glance and one word, and their hearts became eager.

Qiao Yun was gearing up, fighting high, "For the house, save money!"

Yun Xuemei smiled and said, "Isn't that why you brought the ointment and sugar specially for this purpose? Have you thought about where to build the house in the future?"

This sentence stopped Qiao Yun.

She only thought about leaving this county, but she really couldn't remember where to go.

But since she found that the present is very similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty, four cities naturally popped up in her heart.The first choice is of course Chang'an, who doesn't want to go to Chang'an?Luoyang is also good, as prosperous as Chang'an, and it doesn't need to support the administrative center of the empire, so the pressure is not great; Yi Er!
Thinking about it, Qiao Yun suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked an important question.

What is the situation of this dynasty?

"Mother, I have been running around in the countryside before, but I don't know anything about the outside world. You have traveled a lot, do you know what time it is?"

"The 26th year of Kaiyuan."

Qiao Yun's eyes darkened.

Isn't there only ten years of peace left?
