Farmer's little Fubao is cheating

Chapter 214 Fried Tofu
"What?"

Changan put down the spoon and walked out of the kitchen.

The little boy retreated to the persimmon tree and said seriously: "My name is Tao Tie. I am seven years old this year."

Chang'an: "So?"

The little boy's eyes squinted back and forth, seeming a little embarrassed.

Finally he said: "Chang'an, can you be my wife?"

Chang'an was stunned.

If the person speaking at this time was not a child of several years old, she would definitely give him a big blow.

"Why do you say that?"

Chang'an looked at the little boy and saw that he was not as tall as his shoulders, but he was pretty and delicate. He was very different from his half-sister Tao Jiaojiao.

Tao Tie: "Because you are good-looking."

Chang'an:...

Well, for the sake of him praising himself, I won't beat him.

Tao Tie quietly raised his eyes to look at Chang'an, quickly looked away, and asked with a blushing face: "Chang'an, are you willing?"

Chang'an twitched his lips, but finally said nothing. He turned around and called the guards outside the yard: "Uncles, take Tao Tie out for a ride."

So Tao Tie happily went to learn to ride a bicycle with his bodyguard, and soon forgot what he said in Java.

After boiling several large pots of mung bean soup, asking a few guards to scoop buckets of water, and picking up the land for the pioneers to drink, Chang'an dressed up Tao Jiaojiao.

First let down her high-bundled hair, pick out two long strands of hair from her ears, and then tie her into two buns with a red ribbon.

The bangs are also let down and slightly trimmed into a cute eyebrow band.

Then she used dark color and painted Tao Jiaojiao's long and narrow eyebrows, slightly raised, to make her look more charming like a girl.

Because Tao Jiaojiao has a healthy complexion, there is no need to apply powder or put rouge on her lips. As long as she puts on a red dress, she is a hot little girl.

Chang'an brought a large round mirror to Tao Jiaojiao to look at, and asked, "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Tao Jiaojiao glanced at herself in the glasses, as if she were seeing a stranger, and couldn't help but feel shy.

She stroked the silk hanging on both sides of her cheeks, pursed her lips and smiled: "Chang'an, your craftsmanship is really good."

"It's you who looks good." It's not that Chang An is flattering against his will, but Tao Jiaojiao also has merits.

Although the girl's eyes are small, they are long and narrow and beautiful. With a little modification, they can become the most charming fox eyes, also called red and phoenix eyes.

In addition, she has a wanton temperament and a tall and beautiful figure. She doesn't look out of place in a flamboyant dress, and it will only make her look more attractive.

Tao Jiaojiao looked back and forth in front of the mirror, feeling secretly happy from the bottom of her heart.

But when Chang'an took her out, she refused to go out and had to change into her original clothes.

Chang'an pretended to be angry and said: "I worked so hard to tidy you up, but you don't appreciate it? Humph! I won't help you dress up anymore."

Tao Jiaojiao paused and murmured: "It's not that I don't have it."

"Then what else do you want to change into?" Chang'an pulled her out and said, "Don't worry, I haven't worn this dress before, it's new."

Tao Jiaojiao quickly defended: "That's not what I meant."

She was just too embarrassed to dress up and go out looking bright.

Lian Xin laughed and said, "Miss Tao, our lady sometimes wears a red skirt, so that's okay."

Tao Jiaojiao's maid also said: "Miss, you look really good like this. If Madam sees it, she will definitely like it." Tao Jiaojiao did not refute this. Her own mother always despised her dressing up as a teenager, and every time she did it If Tao Jiaojiao refused to wear the new dress, he would be so angry that he wouldn't talk to her for several days.

So, surrounded by Lian Xin and Xiao Ju, Tao Jiaojiao and Chang An walked out of the courtyard.

There are no people in the city now, except for some shops and vendors, and some children of a few years old fishing for red shrimp with earthworms by the pond.

There was also a lame veteran sitting by the pond, knitting straw sandals under a willow tree, and also watching over these children.

"This pond is a new pond that was just dug in spring. Miss Chang'an spent money to buy fish and shrimp fry and put them in it."

Xiao Ju introduced it to Tao Jiaojiao: "Every few days, we sprinkle some wheat bran to feed the fish. Next year, we will have fresh fish and shrimp to eat."

Tao Jiaojiao looked at the large clear pond and was surprised: "Where does this water come from?"

Chang'an: "It was accumulated in the rain." In fact, she made it out of small beads.

In the spring, she asked her father to gather more than a thousand people to dig a pond. It took nearly a month to dig a pond ten feet in diameter. From now on, the residents of the city would not have to worry about the problem of drinking water.

You know, there are often droughts and water shortages here, and there are no decent rivers. Most people in the city rely on well water for their lives.

As for laundry and vegetables, you can either do it in the two green ponds in the city, or go out of the city to wash in a small stream.

But the water in the creek is very shallow and the distance is long, making it inconvenient to go back and forth.

Now that there are newly dug ponds, residents' water pressure has been greatly reduced, and women no longer have to carry baskets far away in search of available water sources.

"Chang'an, where did you buy all your cars? I want to buy one too." Tao Jiaojiao locked her eyes on the cyclist in the distance again and said with envy.

Chang'an: "I bought it in Yuyang County. My uncle owns a car shop. If you want to buy it, it will be available next month."

The spare parts I brought last time were basically assembled into two-wheelers or three-wheelers. I kept two three-wheelers and a few two-wheelers at home, and handed the rest to my father for distribution.

Song Erxiao had ten hundred families under his command, scattered in ten forts around the guard station. Each fort was allocated five two-wheeled vehicles and two three-wheeled vehicles.

The remaining cars were sold by Changan at a price of one hundred and eighty taels per car.

"The goods won't arrive until next month?" Tao Jiaojiao's face dropped. She couldn't wait that long.

Chang'an smiled and said, "I still have two cars at home. If you want to learn to ride, leave one here tomorrow."

Tao Jiaojiao puffed up her mouth.

She knew that Chang'an's family had two cars, but before she had a chance to touch them, they were snatched away by her two nephews.

The eldest nephew is four years older than her, so there is no way she can steal him.

Of course, I can't win over my little nephew.

A few girls walked around the city and bought some pieces of tofu. Chang'an was going to make fried tofu.

Just cut the tofu into small pieces, fry it in an oil pan until golden brown, remove it and put a little soybean paste, then add chopped green onion and pepper, sprinkle more pepper, then add water and boil.

Don't add salt, because the miso itself is very salty, and too much salt will make the tofu become too salty.

"It's so delicious!" Tao Jiaojiao imitated Chang'an, piercing a piece of fried tofu with a bamboo skewer and eating it. It was so spicy that her mouth turned red and she didn't want to stop.

Lian Xin and Xiao Ju also poked the tofu with bamboo sticks and ate it. Seeing Tao Jiaojiao's two maids standing still at a distance, they called to them: "You guys can come and eat too."

The two maids looked at their young lady and then at Chang'an. When they saw that he was also waving at them, they came over.

"It's a bit spicy. There are fried rice dumplings here. You two can take them and have a bite." Chang An placed a plate of fried rice dumplings on the table.

Then I cut a watermelon, red in color and very sweet.

It's not meal time, and no one else is around, so the master and servants don't have any taboos, so they just sit around the table and eat.

Mrs. Jiang came over with one hand protecting her lower abdomen. Seeing that her daughter was eating spicy food again, she couldn't help but scolded her: "My little girl doesn't even dare to eat leeks and green onions. You'd better eat the peppers as a snack."
