A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 164 Chapter 164

Hearing his son calling him in the yard, the old village head thought that something had happened, so he hurriedly got off the kang and walked out dragging his shoes.

Seeing a heroic woman stepping forward wearing a gorgeous blue cloak, the old village chief hurriedly knelt down, "Grassman, my lord!"

"The old village chief doesn't need to be polite, please get up when the ground is cool!"

"Thank you sir, it's cold outside, please come inside to warm yourself!" The old village chief stood up and respectfully invited An Chuxia into the house. Because of the cold in the northern winter, most of the guests would be invited to the heated kang superior.

An Chuxia was also invited by the old village chief's family to sit on the kang, and the old village chief's family wondered why An Chuxia came to their house in such a cold day.

He saw An Zixi, who followed, was holding the basin covered with a small mattress, and was signaled by An Chuxia to put it on the kang.

An Chuxia lifted the small mattress on the pot, and a pot of bean sprouts topped with yellow sprouts appeared in front of the old village chief's family.

Looking at the watery and tender bean sprouts with yellow sprouts on top, Village Chief Luo and his family looked at An Chuxia in puzzlement.

"My lord, what is this?" asked the elder son of the old village.

An Chuxia smiled and said: "This is bean sprouts, I didn't hear from you last time that these beans are grown in the corners of the wasteland in the fields.

I can't pay taxes and food, and my stomach bloats if I eat too much, so I thought of sprouting beans, which can be cooked and fried at the moment, but I didn't expect it to be possible.

Our family has used this thing to cook and eat it yesterday. It is crisp and fragrant, and it is delicious. "

An Chuxia pushed the bean sprouts in the pot towards the old village head's wife, and said to her, "Ma'am, spend some oil and salt to fry these bean sprouts."

The old village head's wife has decided that An Chuxia is a good official since she stayed at his house for one night and paid a lot of accommodation fees.

For old women who have never even been to the county seat, an official who does not take advantage of the common people is the best parental official in their eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord, the women promise to fry this dish with all their heart."

The old village head's wife didn't even let her daughters-in-law help fry this dish this time, so she went to the kitchen herself with a basin.

An Chuxia smiled gently at the old woman's simplicity, then turned her face to the old village chief and said, "Go to the village and find some people with a good memory and a flexible mind, both male and female."

The old village head was getting old, and it was inconvenient to go out in winter, so he said a few names and asked his son to call those people.

An Chuxia took a sip of the hot water brought by the old village head's wife, and looked at the big kang that took up half of the room. Sitting on it, the buttocks were warm, but the room still felt cold.

After all, Kang is not like the current heating system that can keep the temperature of the whole house constant.

If you can put a stove in the room like a wealthy family, you won't feel that the room is still so cold.

I saw that the old village head's family was still wearing very thin clothes, and then looked at this low thatched hut, which was dusty all around.

All the heads of a village live in such a house, which shows how difficult the life of the people in Wei County is.

Now that she is in charge of their parents, since she has come here, she has the responsibility to feed and clothe the people here.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and four or five people called by the old village chief's son entered the house.

The old village chief's son must have told them on the road, and after they entered, they quickly knelt on the ground and saluted An Chuxia, the parent official.

"The grass people have met adults."

"Everyone get up! This is not a court, it doesn't have to be like this."

After these people arrived, the bean sprouts of the old village head's wife were fried and served.

An Chuxia said: "It just so happens that everyone is here, try this dish, is it delicious?"

Several people looked at the old village head, and the old village head's wife handed them a pair of chopsticks, "Eat quickly, if the adults let you eat, you can eat, can the county magistrate still harm us?"

The old village head took the lead and put a chopstick in his mouth and chewed it. It was tender, crunchy, and delicious. After swallowing it, the old village head couldn't hold back another chopstick.

Everyone also followed the old village chief to eat.

An Chuxia saw the two grandsons of the old village chief's family watching eagerly, and handed them a pair of chopsticks at hand, "It's okay, come and eat!"

After taking a few bites, everyone put down their chopsticks one after another. After all, this is not the time to eat, and there is no reason to really eat up the food.

Although it was really delicious, they still restrained themselves and wanted to add more food.

An Chuxia looked at them softly, and didn't think it was impolite for them to chew the vegetables loudly when they were eating.

They are a group of people who are busy working for food and clothing every day. They don’t have time to chew slowly when eating. It is normal to make noises. No one has the right to judge their behavior as rude.

The reason why you eat without sound and walk lightly is because you have enough time to groom yourself.

After An Chuxia saw that they all put down their chopsticks, he smiled and said, "Everyone has tasted the taste of fried bean sprouts, what do you think?"

"good to eat!"

"…tasty!"

Several villagers in the room said that fried bean sprouts are delicious. There are no fancy words to describe them. Deliciousness is their highest evaluation of food.

An Chuxia asked, "Do you have beans at home?"

"Have!"

"…Have!"

"Our family has them too!" The old woman who spoke was the old woman who ate at her house on the day An Chuxia and the others collected taxes last time.

This old woman is also a hard-working person. Her son and daughter-in-law passed away one after another, leaving only one grandson, whom the old couple worked hard to raise.

The reason why the old village head was able to call her this time was probably because he took good care of her last time, and the old village head saw that she intended to help the family.

This was also won by the old woman herself. If she hadn't kindly brought water to herself at that time, An Chuxia would not have noticed the old woman.

"It is good to have beans, I will tell you the method of soaking bean sprouts.

You can go home and try to soak some beans yourself, and put the soaked beans on the kang, so that the bean sprouts will grow more easily.

Vegetables are in short supply in winter. After the bean sprouts sprout, you can keep them for yourself, or you can send them to restaurants and restaurants in the county town and sell them for money. "

Hearing that it can be sold for money, everyone's spirits are shocked. For the villagers, anything that can be sold for money is a good thing.

They suddenly felt very distressed, all they ate just now were silver coins.

"You can tell the villagers how to soak bean sprouts. Don't be afraid that if there are too many people, you will not be able to make money. If the restaurants and restaurants in the county can't afford so many bean sprouts.

You can sell the bean sprouts you sent to these three companies, and they will sell the bean sprouts you sent to further places. "

The old village head said excitedly: "My lord, which three families?"

"Xu Da's family in Xujiabao, Luo Landlord's family in Luojiazhuang, and Ma Xiang's horse landlord's family in Mawang Village, just say that I asked you to send them." An Chuxia said calmly.

There is no place to sell such a good thing in winter. The reason why An Chuxia didn't tell the three big households how to grow bean sprouts is to let the common people earn some money for the New Year.

As long as the villagers send things over, the three of them must understand what they mean.
