The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 60
After a while, a burst of sweet and sweet smell mixed with sweet potatoes came out.

In the Hao family next door, everyone was doing their work, and the person with a sensitive nose suddenly exclaimed: "What kind of smell is this, it smells so good."

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, and started to sniff. Their heads kept turning, looking for the source of the fragrance.

"I smell like sweet potatoes, but the smell of sweet potatoes is not so fragrant!" Yu Xiuman said with a slab of mud.

"I smell like sweet potatoes too!" Someone else echoed.

When everyone heard this, they were all a little disappointed. Who has never eaten this sweet potato? They thought that Leng Ping had money and could go to the city again. Now she can manage a good meal!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help being a little disappointed in their hearts, and the work in their hands was a little slack.

"Which sweet potato can have this fragrance, I smell like white flour steamed buns, it must be!" Another person said.

When everyone heard it, their eyes immediately lit up, white flour steamed buns, you can only eat them during the Chinese New Year!Everyone exchanged an excited look with each other, and the work in their hands accelerated again!

It was finally time for the meal, and everyone stretched their necks looking forward to it, when Hao Dan came in with a big wooden basin, with an excited expression on his face, shouting: "The meal is here!"

Hao Dan nimbly bypassed the plaster and stones on the ground, came to everyone in a few steps, put down the big wooden basin steadily, and saw that everyone immediately stretched their necks and stared at the big wooden basin eagerly.

There were more than [-] yellow-orange pancakes in the wooden basin, and the yellow ones were made from the kang outside. A burst of heat mixed with the fragrance came out, and when they smelled the fragrance, everyone began to salivate.

"This is..." Yu Xiuman couldn't bear it for a long time, took one first, and couldn't wait to take a bite, this pancake was really burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and sweet!
Seeing that Yu Xiuman ate first, everyone couldn't bear it any longer. They scrambled forward to snatch it up, stuffed it in their mouths impatiently, with just one bite, everyone's eyes widened. Can't wait to grab the second one!
"It's delicious, it's delicious, Hao Dan, what is this?" Yu Xiuman asked vaguely while chewing one in each hand.

"It's sweet cakes!" Hao Dan remembered Leng Ping's order, and smiled, "This is my sister's specialty rice, and there will be fish soup and shepherd's purse soup in a while!"

As soon as Hao Dan finished speaking, Leng Ping came out with fish soup and shepherd's purse soup. Those people hurriedly found their own bowls and stepped forward. When they saw the oily spots on the surface of the soup, everyone's mouths were happy.

It's been so many days since I haven't been stained with oil, not to mention the wages, the meal alone is worth it!
"I promised everyone white flour buns, but I really don't have time to go to the city, and I don't have much flour, so I made these sweet cakes, and fish soup and shepherd's purse soup. Everyone will eat it as soon as possible, and I will give you one more later." Copper coins are considered compensation!" Leng Ping said apologetically.

Everyone hurriedly said: "This sweet cake is much more delicious than white noodles, it's nothing!"

Leng Ping felt relieved, and shared a small spoonful of fish soup and shepherd's purse soup.

Cao Big Nose took a sip first, savored it, and immediately gulped it all down. After finishing the drink, he smashed his mouth, looked at the pot anxiously, saw that there was nothing in the plate, and looked at it again. I looked at the bowls of the people around me.

Everyone was reluctant to drink it themselves, and they were willing to give it to others. They all drank it, and after drinking it, everyone sat there in a daze and relished it.

The big guys haven’t eaten enough for half a year. This fish soup and shepherd’s purse soup together with the soft and sweet sweet potato cake is simply the most delicious delicacy in the world.

"What's the matter, isn't it delicious?" Hao finally came out with the hot pancakes, and seeing the big guy like this, couldn't help asking.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, we've never eaten such delicious food, and we're speechless!" Cao Dazhi wiped his tears away.

They have really had enough of the closed life of the past six months. The people live on a daily basis, and the surplus food at home is enough for three months at most. For the remaining three months, the big guys either dig wild vegetables or go fishing in the river. Small fish and shrimp, it was winter at that time, there were no wild vegetables, and there were few fish and shrimp, so the big guys could only stay at home, do nothing, save their energy, and be less hungry this way!

Now everyone has nowhere to go, if the city gate is not opened...

This meal reminded everyone of their current predicament, and a group of elders all wiped away their tears.

Looking at it, Leng Ping felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help saying: "Folks, I heard that the city gate is about to be opened. The plague is about to pass. Once the city gate is opened, everyone will have work to do!"

When Leng Ping said this, everyone's eyes widened and they hurriedly asked, "Is it true?"

Leng Ping nodded, "The county master said it himself, there is no lie!"

"Great, we can live again! The big Yu family in this city still owes me two taels of silver. When I come back, I will immediately buy two catties of pork and wrap meat core dumplings to eat!"

"I also want to eat dumplings, and stewed chicken!"

"I want to eat the roast duck from Gourmet House, the skin is covered with a layer of yellow oil, it's so fragrant!"

"I..."

In the end, the meal turned into a fantasy meeting for everyone. After everyone finished eating, they also said that enough was enough, and their mouth and heart addictions were over, so they hurriedly got back to work.

Leng Ping made up her mind to build the fence stronger first, so she inquired and went to the next village to buy some stones. Fortunately, the stones that the stoner had stored for half a year could not be sold. Seeing Leng Ping buying them, she was naturally eager to Not to mention half the price, and free delivery, Leng Ping was cruel, and bought the stones needed for the other three rooms, and temporarily piled them under the courtyard wall. The body and the roof were almost repaired, and Li Jiu and Yu Xiuman led people to build up the wall again.

"Uncle, what's the height like?" At any rate, Li Jiu was a relative of the Hao family, and when Yu Xiuman was working, he followed Li Jiu's request.

"It's not enough, it's even higher!" Li Jiu looked at the wall that was taller than a person, and gestured, "At least half a body taller!"

"Come on!" The big guy had a full meal at noon, and after receiving such exciting news, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he worked very hard, so he raised the top of the wall by half a meter. .

"Uncle, how do you know that I want such a tall one?" Leng Ping looked at the towering courtyard wall and said happily, "Yes, is it safe like this!"

"Ping'er, come here!" Li Jiu greeted Leng Ping to come aside.

"My uncle heard what you said to Hao Renniang last night!" Li Jiu sighed.

Leng Ping was startled, only then did she know why Li Jiu asked someone to build the courtyard wall so high, it turned out that she had heard those words and made plans for her!
