The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 166 Food shortage

"Cough cough cough..."

The old lady who was in the middle of eating was suddenly caught. The mung bean cake got stuck in her throat and she coughed violently.

This frightened Yue Mingzhu so much that she immediately used the Heimlich maneuver to make the old lady spit out the cake.

The old lady spent the rest of her life half slumped in a chair.

My heart is full of joy, good guy, he almost left just now.

Yue Mingzhu was afraid that he might do something wrong, so she asked carefully: "Old lady, are you okay? You said that you are really old. You can eat whatever you want. You even ate it secretly and almost choked yourself. Come anyway!"

The old lady was so angry that she stared at her and said with a strong breath: "Aren't you a damn girl? You don't know how to knock on the door when you come in? You don't know whether men and women can kiss each other? If I were really scared to death by you, Well, it’s up to you what to do.

Also, I’m not eating secretly. I don’t have anything to eat, so why should I eat secretly? You girl, don't talk nonsense. I'm just afraid that the pastry will get spoiled on the table. Do you understand that every grain of it is hard work? Food is so precious and must not be wasted! "

The old lady had a serious look on her face, and she cared more about food than the old farmers who worked in the fields.

Yue Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, pretending to be taught, "Yeah, yeah, it has to be you, I understand, I will never waste this pastry, I promise to eat it all, then I will take it away right now!" Literally picked up the plate.

The old lady was furious. This girl really didn't know how to respect the old and love the young. Could she deserve to compete with an old man like this?

He cleared his throat and said, "What about that, girl, I probably coughed on the cake when I coughed just now. If you take it back and eat more, just leave it here and I will eat it for you."

Yue Mingzhu: "..."

Yes, the old lady risked her life just to stutter.

She just got into a fight with him today, and she didn't believe in treating him or not. Seeing that he would still be dissatisfied with things in the future.

"Old Master, I don't despise you. You can be my grandfather. How can I despise my grandpa? Besides, as you said, every grain of it is hard work. Isn't it just stained with some saliva? Isn't it so big? matter."

This is determined to take the pastry away.

At this moment, the pastry has not yet cooled down, and the fragrance penetrates directly into the old lady's nose. Not to mention that he is hungry, his stomach is growling, and he feels that if he doesn't eat, he will starve to death.

So, he simply snatched the plate from Yue Mingzhu's hand and said like a rogue: "I don't care, if you enter my house, it belongs to me."

He grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. Well, it was delicious. This wicked girl was really going to starve to death.

The Moon Pearl looks up at the sky speechlessly. Is this the old master who is highly respected and talented? If ordinary people saw him like this, their filters would probably be shattered.

She sat down slowly and looked at the old lady with a smile: "How about it, are the pastries delicious?"

With his mouth full, the old lady took the time to reply: "Well, generally, that's it."

Quite tough-talking.

Yue Mingzhu followed him and said: "Well, it's quite ordinary. I just went to the kitchen to take a look. Chunhua also made osmanthus cake. Oh, the taste is amazing. The whole kitchen is filled with the scent of osmanthus. In comparison, this mung bean cake It’s really too ordinary. Come on, if you want to eat the mung bean cake, you can eat it. I have to go to the kitchen to eat the osmanthus cake. It’s just come out of the pot and it’s delicious!”

The old man felt that the mung bean cake in his mouth was no longer fragrant after what she said. He also wanted to eat the hot sweet-scented osmanthus cake just out of the pan.

So he surrendered.

Knowing that Yue Mingzhu wanted to cure him, she deliberately caught him, but who made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake really fragrant? The person who gave it to him seemed to have already smelled the fragrance in his nose.

Well, who can be at odds with his stomach? He has no grudge against delicious food.

Clearing her throat: "Girl, you also go to the kitchen and bring me a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I will try to see if the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by this girl Chunhua is really that fragrant, otherwise I will suspect that you are exaggerating."

Yue Mingzhu saw him like this and let him go. After all, he was a master, so he always had to give him some thin noodles, as long as the old man didn't make a fuss and let her cook for him. She got up happily and went to bring osmanthus cake to the old lady. Not only the osmanthus cake, but also medicinal food.

The old man hadn't eaten before, so it would be bad if he got really hungry. She had told Chunhua to make some more for the old lady.

The old man looked at the food on the table and was very moved.

Generally speaking, Mingzhu girl is still a good girl with a conscience. He even felt a little guilty in his heart. This girl is so busy, and it seems inappropriate for him to want to torment her.

So from then on, the old lady never mentioned letting Yue Mingzhu cook, and Yue Mingzhu didn't completely ignore it. She would also do something to reward the old lady in her spare time.

In this way, they have reached a consensus on the diet, and overall it is quite harmonious.

Because Chunhua's cooking is really good, the old lady always eats quite deliciously. Whenever the meal starts, the old lady's energy is comparable to Qiushi.

Qiushi thought that he was an old man, so she didn't care about him and let him eat as he pleased. Anyway, he had made enough food and was satisfied, so there was no need to rob him.

The old lady seemed to have found a partner for her meal. Every time she ate with Qiushi, the food tasted particularly delicious.

He feels that Yue Mingzhu's home is simply his blessed place. He has found many close friends here, and he feels that he can retire here.

In our free time, we have Yuedashan to chat with and exchange farming experiences. During meals, we have Linlan (also known as Mrs. Wang) to encourage us to pick up food, and we also have Qiushi, a food partner who speaks a common language. Life is simply wonderful. .

But that day, he suddenly became absent-minded while eating, and Yue Mingzhu felt that something was wrong.

This kind of thing that doesn't even taste good is designated as a big deal.

She didn't ask any more questions at the dinner table, as there were some things she couldn't say in front of everyone.

After dinner, Yue Mingzhu took the fruit tea she had prepared to the old lady's room.

Normally the old lady would lie on the bed to eat after eating, but now she was sitting at the table with a frown on her face.

It seems like it's really not a big deal.

Yue Mingzhu poured a cup of fruit tea and handed it to the old lady and asked, "You have something on your mind, can you tell me?"

The old lady took the fruit tea and took a sip. It was fragrant and refreshing, refreshing, and dispelled a little bit of the gloom in her heart.

He didn't speak immediately, thinking about whether he should tell Yue Mingzhu. After a long while, he said: "Something happened at Pingling Pass. I received the news that Pingling Pass was in urgent need of food. The court urgently prepared food, but because of the shortage of the national treasury, Silver, in addition, the entire Daqian is in short supply of food, and the Ministry of Revenue has not raised much food so far. If this continues, what will happen to the 200,000-strong army at Pinling Pass? The army’s stomachs are not full, how can they go into battle to kill the enemy? I really I’m extremely worried!”

Mingzhu Girl is King Huai's sweetheart. Now that King Huai is at Pinling Pass, it doesn't matter if he talks to her about this matter. It can at least let him vent his frustration.

After Yue Mingzhu heard this, her little face tightened and looked serious.

Hube?

Isn't the current Minister of Household Affairs the eldest brother of the head of the Han family in the county? What a coincidence.

The eldest son of their family is the Minister of Household Affairs, and the second son is an imperial merchant. She does not believe that their family's strength will not be able to raise food. If they really can't raise food, then how did Han's Grain Store get a cellar full of food in the backyard? ?

I just want to wait for the price to sell, or I want to turn the tide at the critical moment, save thousands of people from the fire and water, and make an immortal contribution.

In short, the Han family’s plans are not small.

She refused to let them have their way!
