The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 353: Imprisonment (3)
Mrs. Li doesn’t know how to cook. His wife used to eat well, but a plague took them away. He and Mrs. Li have been making do with each other at home these years. Now Mrs. Li has found the matchmaker and introduced several widows , the first thing he asked was if the food was good.

Those people's craftsmanship is not as good as Hao's.

Li Jiu couldn't forget the scallion pancakes she ate when she was shop outside Hao's house a few years ago.

After a while Hao Shi brought in the stuffed pie, Li Jiu got up quickly, with a polite smile on her face: "I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"No trouble, you finally came here, but today Ping'er didn't know you were here, and didn't buy any good things. Today's food is really a bit overwhelming!" Hao Shi said, and put a basket of stuffed cakes Served on the table.

Leng Ping served small tofu behind her, and said with a smile, "It's simple but delicious, uncle, try it!"

Li Jiu just smelled the smell of stuffed pie and was already hungry, so she sat down immediately, took one unceremoniously, not afraid of the heat, and took a bite in her mouth.

The hot and sour taste of sauerkraut immediately filled his mouth, Li Jiu's eyes widened, and he started to gobble it up.

"If it's too sour or too spicy, eat some small tofu!" Seeing that Li Jiu was sweating profusely from eating, Leng Ping pushed the small tofu in front of him.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, brother Hao, you are so lucky to have a sister-in-law!" Li Jiu couldn't help but say.

Hao Shi was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly that this rough man Li Jiu would say such a thing, her ears turned red all of a sudden, and she hurried out with an excuse.

Li Jiu didn't feel anything, she just ate the stuffed pie and kept praising her.

Leng Ping didn't point it out, just watched with a smile.

Li Jiu left after she was full.

Hao Shi wrapped six more stuffed pies and asked Li Jiu to take them back to Granny Li.

"Hey!" Li Jiu didn't refuse, and agreed very neatly.

Li Jiu got on the horse, Hao stepped forward, and couldn't help telling Leng Ping again: "Let's leave Ren'er's affairs to her uncle!"

Li Jiu patted her chest and said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Hao Ren is my nephew and son-in-law, I will definitely take good care of him!"

Only then did Hao feel relieved.

Li Jiu got on the horse and left.

Hao Shi kept watching until Li Jiu's shadow was gone.

"Mother, if you keep watching like this, others will gossip!" Leng Ping knew that Hao Shi must have entrusted Li Jiu to take care of Hao Ren. She looked at Li Jiu, but she was actually thinking of Hao Ren, but if others saw it, would she I thought she was interested in Li Jiu!

It was only now that Hao Shi came to his senses, and his face suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

She hurried home and closed the door.

Leng Ping sighed a little, in fact, Hao Shi and Li Jiuting were a good match, but the two were considered in-laws, which might be nothing in modern times, but in ancient times, they were poked in the back!
Because she agreed to Yan Chong's reclining chair, Leng Ping soon forgot about Hao Shi and Li Jiu.

Carpenter Han was the carpenter who used to make furniture for Leng Ping. There was a plague that year, and other people's homes couldn't get rid of it, but Leng Ping was making furniture at that time. The carpenter still remembers Leng Ping and is grateful to Leng Ping.

When he heard that Leng Ping was going to build a recliner this time, he was startled.

This carpenter Han is in his fifties this year and has been working as a carpenter for more than [-] years. He can be regarded as an old carpenter. He has beaten all kinds of furniture, but he has never beaten a recliner.

"I'll draw the blueprint for you, and you follow suit!" Leng Ping said.

Carpenter Han hurriedly responded.

After the drawings were drawn, Hao Dan rushed to look at them first.

"What are you looking at, you know carpentry?" Leng Ping couldn't help but tease.

In fact, Hao Dan has a very high emotional intelligence. Because of the iron stove, he recognized Li Tiejiang as his godfather, and the iron stove also made a lot of money, but now that the iron stove is too popular, he has no profit, so now he is planning to Find new items.

"Sister, you go out first, I'll talk to Grandpa Han about the price!" Hao Dan rolled his eyes and immediately said with a smile.

Leng Ping knew that he had some ghostly idea, so she immediately nodded and went out the door first.

After a quarter of an hour, Hao Dan came out of the room contentedly.

"What's the matter? The business is settled?" Leng Ping couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Hao Dan scratched his head and smiled, "My sister has many good ideas, but she just doesn't know how to do business, so I'll just take advantage of it! Don't worry, sister, I've negotiated with Carpenter Han for this reclining chair, and I don't want a penny. Ours, and if he makes a deck chair like this for others in the future, we will charge fifty cents!"

When Hao Dan advanced the conditions, Carpenter Han almost turned his head on Hao Dan. He has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen someone who asked him to do work and charged him money, but after looking at the reclining chair, He was completely convinced - this thing definitely has a future, but the mechanism on the chair at the back is the key, if he doesn't agree, Hao Dan will say that he will find someone else to cooperate with!
But when he thought about his age being tricked by a brat, Carpenter Han felt upset.

"Grandpa Han, if this chair is put on the market and no one wants you to make it, how about I pay you a tael of silver?" Hao Dan said again.

"A tael of silver, what a brat you are!" Carpenter Han said with his goatee raised.

"Although I'm a brat, my elder brother is the master of juren. With my elder brother here, are you still afraid that what I say won't count?" Hao Dan raised his head and said unconvinced.

When Carpenter Han heard this, he immediately responded, yes, Hao Dan can't escape Master Juren if he can run away, but this matter has to be secured!

Hao Dan agreed to draw without saying a word.

Leng Ping looked at the thing that looked like a contract and couldn't help but be speechless. This Haodan is smart. He knew how to sign a contract at such a young age.

Hao Dan took a peek at Leng Ping's expression, and couldn't help but smile.

Half a month later, the reclining chair was ready, and Leng Ping asked Hao to sew a soft cushion and tie it to the chair, and sent it to Yan Chong.

Although the wood is not the best, it has a unique shape. If you sit on it, if you are tired, you can lie down by pressing the mechanism next to it. In addition, the back of the chair and the cushions on the seat are soft and comfortable, Yan Chong is very satisfied.

"When the weather is hot, I'll ask Hao Dan to weave a bamboo mat for you to spread on it. It's comfortable for Master to squat on it at noon!" Seeing that Yan Chong liked it, Leng Ping said with a smile.

Yan Chong nodded and said: "Okay, I didn't hurt you for nothing!"

Leng Ping also smiled, thinking of another purpose, she asked: "Master, do you have any news about Hao Chenyi?"

Now it's March, counting the days, Hao Ren should have passed the imperial examination, but there is still no news.

"I know you're impatient, but it's useless to be anxious. It is said that the emperor personally presided over the palace examination, and the result is kept secret. Even the old man can't find out!" Yan Chong thought that Leng Ping was worried about Hao Ren's grades, so he stroked He stroked his beard and said, "But don't worry, Hao Chenyi is the old man's apprentice. The old man knows how good he is. He will definitely pass high school this spring!"
