Happy peasant girl

Chapter 73
Lin Qinghai shook his head first, then turned his head again, and suddenly grinned and said: "Xi girl, I know what you mean, you mean let me use tofu to make dumplings or buns?"

Lin Qingxi gave an "um" and smiled.

Lin Qinghai slapped his thigh, stood up suddenly and said: "I thought of it, I thought of it, haha! After the tofu is turned into vegetarian chicken, doesn't it taste like meat? Then I used to make meat dishes, but now I only need Replace the meat with tofu to make vegetarian chicken. Also, since there are big meat buns and wild vegetable buns, why can’t there be tofu buns? With tofu buns, you can have tofu dumplings, tofu chaos, tofu balls, Cold tofu, fried tofu, steamed tofu, boiled tofu..."

Listening to what Lin Qinghai said to himself, he was going crazy, the old Lin family around the dinner table couldn't help but looked at him and laughed helplessly. They were really afraid that one day Lin Qinghai would become another picture because of cooking. look.

Wu shi was a little embarrassed, but also a little proud to look at her husband, then shook her head, ignored him, and just used a small wooden spoon to feed the Linnian water in her arms to drink porridge.

"Second brother, you only have three days now, is there still time to try all the tofu dishes first?" Lin Qingmu felt that the time was tight but the task was heavy. With so many different tofu dishes, it might be too late Do.

But Lin Qinghai said confidently: "It's okay, if I have time, even if I don't sleep all day and night, I will make all these dishes."

"Erlang, you can cook with peace of mind. Your patriarch, grandpa, has already said that he will fully support you. All the tofu villages will provide it. If there is anything missing, just ask, and the clan will solve it for you." Linyuan Shan recently He is closer to Lin Renyi, Grandpa Hao and several clan elders, and his prestige among the clan is getting higher and higher.

"Understood, Grandpa!" Lin Yuanshan's words made Lin Qinghai more confident. With the support of his clan, he felt that he had a strong backing when he did things.

As soon as he finished his meal, Lin Qinghai plunged into his own kitchen, and Lin Qingmu was very willing to help him, because he could be the first to taste the delicious dishes made by Lin Qinghai by helping to cook the fire and fetch water.

Lin Qingxi originally planned to go to Lin Xiaoyu and the others to embroider after dinner, but Lu Zhiming sent someone to pick her up to the county government office. Only when she arrived at Lu Zhiming's place did she know that the two senior brothers Wei Xuan and Shen Han who were far away in the capital not only gave her She sent a lot of delicious and interesting things, and each wrote her a letter.

Without shy away from Lu Zhiming, Lin Qingxi opened the letter and read it.Observing the expression on her face, Lu Zhiming found that his little apprentice became more and more calm, and he kept smiling slightly while reading the letter.

In fact, he didn't need to read the letter Wei Xuan and Shen Han wrote to Lin Qingxi, he could probably guess the contents, probably related to the response of tofu in the capital and purple soil.

Sure enough, after reading the letter, Lin Qingxi said to him: "Master, the seventh and ninth senior brothers said that the tofu business in the capital is very good, and the emperor has ordered the construction of a royal tofu store, and let the third senior brother take charge of this matter." Seventh brother also said that he is going on with Zitu, so Master and I don’t have to worry, good news will come soon.”

"Well, I'm very relieved for Xuan'er's work. Before spring plowing, you can ask your people to reclaim part of the ten thousand mu of purple soil, mainly for seedling cultivation. In addition, in the past two years, many refugees have come to Fu'an County. I will ask Master Jiang to pick out some good ones for you to use. When the time comes, you can take care of their food and give them some money. If the money is not enough, you can get it from Master first." Recently, the case at hand has been handled almost, Lu Zhiming plans to spend more time on the purple soil and purple potatoes in Linqingxi in the coming year.

Lin Qingxi also knows a little bit about Lu Zhiming now, knowing that this master is concerned about the country and the people, and loves her apprentice very much, but she also knows very well that other people's three-year county magistrate is full of gold and silver, while he is a seven-year-old magistrate. The county magistrate of the year was clean and clean, and his wife, the county magistrate's wife, wore plain dresses and faded pearl hairpins.

Even if she really needed money, she couldn't bear to "make things difficult" for her master and wife.Fortunately, the embroidery sold to Jinniang made some money before, but if she hired a large number of refugees in the coming year, her money would be nothing but a drop in the bucket after deducting daily expenses.

After returning home, the other family members did not see any difference in Linqingxi, only the mother, Mrs. Mu, noticed her daughter's depression.So, when the other family members were busy, she dragged Lin Qingxi into the house, and the two of them whispered.

"Girl Xi, your master told you to come over, is there something important?" Mrs. Mu looked at Lin Qingxi and asked cautiously.

After all, she also knew very well in her heart that she, a woman who is a mother, should not ask about many things Lin Qingxi was doing, because they were all "big things", but she was still very worried.

"Mother, it's nothing important, but the two senior brothers brought me some things from the capital, and also wrote me a letter, and asked them to send them to the master first. The master said, those things were sent with me in broad daylight too It's conspicuous, and at night, he will send someone to the house." Lin Qingxi said to Mu Shi with a smile.

Mrs. Mu nodded slightly, looked at her and said: "So that's the case, your two senior brothers are also good. After all, you are a girl, so it's not good to send the letter directly to your home. However, Mother still thinks , You seem to have a big knot in your heart. Girl Xi, tell mother if you have anything to do, mother doesn't want you to get sick."

Hearing Mu's concern, Lin Qingxi thought for a while, then looked up at Mu and said: "Mother, I... I really can't figure out something in my heart, but I will figure it out after thinking about it. Yes, um... I want to ask how much money is left at home now."

Known daughter Mo Ruomu, Lin Qingxi's faltering words made Mu quickly understand what her daughter's knot was.

"Xi girl, do you need money? How much?" asked Mu.

"Well, mother, after the new year, I may need a large sum of money, but I also know that the money at home is not too much, so..." Lin Qingxi said with some embarrassment.

Mrs. Mu interrupted her and said: "Girl Xi, don't worry about the money, father and mother will find a way. Mother has a total of 480 six taels of silver in her hands. This is still the money you sold embroidery back then, is it enough?"

Mu's original plan was to leave all the money to Lin Qingxi as dowry money, but now she would take it out if she needed it urgently, since Lin Qingxi was still young, she, a mother, could slowly buy it for her as a dowry.

"Mother, let me use 400 taels first, and I will pay you back later!" Lin Qingxi calculated in her heart that 400 taels could not help her solve the main problem, but it is better than nothing, and she will only be able to open up wasteland in the coming year. Top priority.
