After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 54 The School Cook

"Thank you mom!"

"Great."

Seeing that his mother was willing to accept it, several children jumped happily in the small yard.

Not long after, "Er Ya, go to Shanliang and call your father to come home for dinner." The smell in the kitchen filled the air, Dali's daughter-in-law called her eldest daughter to her side and ordered while cooking.

"Okay." The eldest daughter ran out in a hurry.

"Daughter-in-law, what's the smell outside?" Next to the villager Lu Dali's house is the house of the little widow Xiaoxiao.Xiaoxiao was eating lunch with her mother-in-law at the door at the moment. There were a few pieces of wild vegetables mixed with a handful of sorghum noodles in the bowl. While eating, her mother-in-law suddenly asked.

Because there is no man in the family, the life of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is more difficult than that of other villagers.

The mother-in-law is over 60 years old, with a stooped body and skinny, blind eyes, she is completely a burden.And Xiaoxiao has been adhering to the tradition of Chinese women for thousands of years. Although she did not consummate the marriage with her husband, after her husband passed away, she still took care of her blind mother-in-law day after day and year after year, and was respected by the villagers for this. Respect.

"Mother-in-law, it's Dali's daughter-in-law cooking meat at home." Xiaoxiao replied.

"Daughter-in-law..." The mother-in-law put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Mother is 67 this year, and she is blind. She has few years to live... Mother hasn't tasted meat for a year, mother is greedy." .”

The meaning is obvious, she just wants to have a good meal before she dies.

"Mother-in-law, there are seven or eight members of the Dali family..." Xiaoxiao expressed helplessness after hearing this, "I seemed to have vaguely heard that Heidan said that the rice and bacon were all given by Mr. Qin."

"Mother wants to eat meat..."

"There's no way, with a mother-in-law like you, the daughter-in-law can only be shameless once."

Lujia Village Ancestral Hall.

That is, in school.

Several of the prince's students were busy with fire, Zhu Biao was burning fire in front of the open-air stove, and from time to time he was blowing into the stove with his mouth vigorously, Zhu Di was breaking branches, Zhu Xi was washing rice, and Xu Da was chopping wood...

All of them were covered in black and gray, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Only Qin Yu is idle. In fact, among these people, he is the only one who knows how to cook. After all, he has supported teaching before.However, in order to exercise the students' hands-on ability, he did not step forward to help.

It can be seen that these children of the village chief usually do less housework. After all, the village chief Huang is the richest man in Lujia Village.

This is probably the so-called starvation of his body, skin and muscles, Xu Da looked at it with a smile and said in his heart.Only the prince educated in this way is the hope of Daming.

If the prince only knows pleasure, only knows how to study in the inner courtyard of the palace, and does not distinguish between the four bodies and the five grains, he may become a scourge of the country in the future.Now let them cook a meal for themselves, at least know how the people live.

Only if you have experienced the suffering of the people, will you not treat the people as bulls and horses.

"How do you big men know how to cook, looking at your disgraced faces..." At this moment, a voice came.The crowd looked back and a young woman appeared at the gate.

The woman walked in directly, without treating herself as an outsider at all, "Come here, you all take a rest, I'll help you do it." After she finished speaking, she grabbed the pot in Zhu Xi's hand and began to wash the rice skillfully. , and then put it into the pot, and let Zhu Biao go away and help him start the fire... After a few diggings in the stove, the fire started.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, looking at the woman with great surprise: she was quite handsome, but a bit pungent.

"You are..." Qin Yu asked.

"I'm Lu Dahong's daughter-in-law, and I came here to help you cook." Xiaoxiao said.

"Goose, that's fine." Qin Yu expressed his helplessness.

After the meal was cooked, Xiaoxiao started to chop and stir-fry the vegetables again, and the rich aroma came out immediately. "Is it too fragrant?" Zhu Biao said. "Yeah, it seems to be better than the food at home." Zhu Di said.After all, the bacon is fried, and the aroma is much richer than fresh.And a few people are also busy for a long time, and they eat more deliciously when they are hungry after labor.

Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, kept gulping while cooking.

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao said quickly.Packed the rice for a few people, brought the bowl to a few people, and put the stir-fried vegetables on the table, like the hostess of a family.

"Thank you very much." Qin Yu said to the woman who came to help and was familiar with it.

"You're welcome... this is what I should do..." Xiaoxiao, after speaking, stared at a few people to eat, as if thinking about how to speak.Although she has lived in Lujia Village for a long time, she is still young and not so thick-skinned.

"You haven't eaten yet, why don't you stay and eat together?" Qin Yu said as if he saw something.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Xiaoxiao said, she wanted to eat it herself, after all, she hadn't eaten meat for nearly a year, but she was still refusing, "I'm just doing a favor."

"You said that you were helping. Since it is helping, then the master should keep you for a meal." Qin Yudao.

"Then...then I'm welcome." Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly.

"You don't need to be polite here, just order it, go and serve the meal yourself, and then come over to eat together." Qin Yu said, "Anyway, there is more in the pot." Xiaoxiao deliberately fried a little more just now.

"Mr. Qin, I still have a mother-in-law who is 80 or [-] years old..." Halfway through the meal, Xiaoxiao hesitated to speak.

"Then you can bring her a copy back." Qin Yu immediately understood what she meant and said.

"Then thank you Mr. Qin." Xiaoxiao said sincerely, "Mr. Qin, why don't you let me cook for you in the future, and let me wash any dirty clothes for you..."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Qin Yu said.

At this time, he also saw that this woman was here to eat.In order to make it more convenient for her to eat in the future, she agreed to her request and asked her to help with laundry or something, and she would also feel at ease.

"In addition, if you come to cook for us every day, I will give you salary at the end of the month." Qin Yu said.If she came every day, she would be equivalent to a cook in the school cafeteria, a school employee.

And also part-time help with laundry, which is equivalent to a laundry room.

Will Mr. Qin still give money?Xiaoxiao was overjoyed when she heard this, and her heart was beating wildly.

In this small mountain village, it is difficult to make money.The only source of income for the villagers is those hunters who can hunt. After they have caught the prey, they will sell it at the market that takes a few days to walk on the mountain road, and then buy some daily necessities.This is almost exclusively reserved for capable men in the village, praised by every household, and the prey cannot be exchanged for a few dollars.

Xiaoxiao is a woman and can't hunt, so her family has almost no income all year round.

Now Qin Yu is willing to work for her and give her money!

This time, she compared all the capable men in the village, how could she not be excited?
