The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 10

Jixiang was silent for a long time, Ruyi held her hand: "I promise, no matter what I do, I will tell you, so that you won't worry!"

Facing Ruyi's insistence, Jixiang thought over and over again, and finally nodded with a wry smile—silly sister, how can there be anyone fighting for hardship?
Ruyi returned to the main room, turned the money jar that Jixiang had given her upside down, and laughed——56 Wen.

The family only eats two meals a day now, not to mention Jixiang's body, Jinyu and Mantang are growing up, follow her, if they can't even eat enough, then she might as well die again.The most urgent thing now is to let Jixiang solve the worries of marriage first, not only Jixiang, but also herself and Jinyu. If the old woman comes back to her senses and makes a comeback, she has to be prepared!
In the evening, there was only the last Baba left in the house. Ruyi made the decision and steamed four corns.While steaming, the aroma overflowed from the steamer, making Jinyu and Mantang so happy that even Ji Xiang who was lying in the west room could smell the aroma.In the evening, Ruyi moved the low table to the bed, the four sisters took off their shoes and socks, and ate a long-lost third meal!
Every grain of the fragrant corn is plump, sweet and tender, and the golden jade is eaten with the sweet water on the cob at the end, looking auspicious and smiling.Ruyi spontaneously took over all the cleaning work, Jixiang wanted to help, but was pushed back, Jinyu and Mantang followed Ruyi like two little tails, helping to clean up the dishes and clean the table, Ruyi saw it in his eyes and felt in his heart Inexplicably warm.

While sleeping at night, Ruyi was planning to go to town tomorrow, but just as she was feeling drowsy, Jinyu in her sleep suddenly started crying, calling her mother while crying, which woke up Mantang, and Mantang also cried get up...

Jixiang felt that Ruyi had been busy all day, and didn't want to wake her up again, so she took Jinyu and Mantang outside, hugged the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, and coaxed them in a low voice, but hearing them call mother, Jixiang coaxed her Coaxed, I also cried.

The bright moonlight came in through the broken window and sprinkled on Jixiang's tearful face. Ruyi hid behind the door and accompanied them silently...

Early the next morning, Ruyi got up early, and the first thing she did was to check the soaked corn.Her method is very simple. The corn is soaked thoroughly, the germ is separated, and then it is ground into a pulp, poured on the dustpan, and the slurry flowing from the bottom of the dustpan is placed in a wooden basin, dried, and then dried. The lumps are then ground into powder, that is, poor cornstarch.

He Yuanji's family has a big graphite, and his family has no fields. Sometimes he earns a little money by grinding wheat for others, and relies on his strength to make a living.Seeing Ruyi, He Yuanji didn't mention how awesome it was. The weather was good today. He Yuanji had already finished grinding a pot of corn kernels before the whole morning was over. It was lunch time when the basin of syrup was placed in my backyard.

When He Yuanji was working, Ruyi took Aunt He to chat in the kitchen.

Aunt He pulled He Yuanji by herself, and swallowed all the bitterness into herself. She was very kind and amiable on weekdays. She had never seen anyone blush, and she didn't like to gossip. She was very happy when Ruyi talked with her.The stove in Aunt He's house is similar to that of her own. All she can see is soy sauce, vinegar, and salt. Her family is a little richer than theirs, with an extra jar of lard.However, people who often eat lard, regardless of whether they are obese or thin, are not good. The most urgent thing is to get the ingredients together.

He Yuanji helped, and Ruyi directly asked him to lead her to the town.

He Yuanji was very familiar with the town. When the village was busy with farming, he would always look for work in the town, and he really knew a few people in the town.

It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. Not long after the two arrived in the town, they found a queue on the long street.Ruyi asked curiously, "Does this usually happen?"

He Yuanji shook his head in confusion, he was not a meddler, and was going to take her along another spacious street, but before he could react, Ruyi had already walked directly into the long queue.

Looking along the queue, its head started from a big restaurant called "Baiweilou". Most of the people in the queue were men, and there were a few elderly women standing sparsely in the middle. One by one, they stretched their heads and tiptoed to look inside.Ruyi stepped forward to ask why, and a man with a towel on his head wiping his sweat kindly explained that it was the Baiweilou who wanted to welcome a big man. The dish samples were sent back. This Baiwei Restaurant is already the best restaurant in the town. The boss has no choice but to release a recruitment post to recruit a chef!
Ruyi couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "How could a cook attract so many people?"

The man had an expression of "you don't understand", probably because he was bored after waiting for a long time, and finally had a tender little sister strike up a conversation, how could he be cruel and ignore it?He grinned at Ruyi and explained—it turns out that the chefs of this Baiweilou are not ordinary people. It is said that there are a few of them, and they have learned from the royal chef in the palace for several years!It's hard to be a chef, but once you are selected, not to mention the high salary, everyone is arrogant. It can be said that he is the most prestigious person in the restaurant except the boss!

He Yuanji didn't know what Ruyi was doing to join in the fun. He thought that Jixiang was waiting for her at home, and she was still in the mood to join in the fun in the town, so he couldn't help being a little unhappy. He wanted to urge Ruyi to buy something and go back quickly, otherwise Jixiang should be worried.Unexpectedly, Ruyi handed him the purse, said "buy all the eggs" and continued talking to the man.

He Yuanji had no choice but to tell her to wait here and not to run around, and went shopping by himself.

The man talked to Ruyi for a long time, and the restaurant attendant who maintained order pointed to the man and told him that he could go in, but Ruyi flashed her figure and smiled at the big man: "Good brother, why don't you let me go first?" !" After finishing speaking, before the big man could react, he had already flashed into the restaurant, and there were dissatisfied people behind him, but he was scolded by the even more dissatisfied guys after suffering from the heat for a long time.

Although it is located in a small town, the decoration facilities and services in this Baiweilou really look like a star-rated restaurant.Walking into the restaurant, people are gathered on the first floor. In the center, there are three tables in front of a big "taste" plaque, and there are three men in the back, and the left and right sides are dressed as chefs. They are in their forties. , the man in the middle is dressed in silk and satin, and his slender eyes reveal the shrewd gaze of a businessman.

Opposite the three tables, there are five temporary stoves, where five people compete at a time.Ruyi was surprised at first, since it is a big restaurant, the requirements are naturally strict, but after the long discharge, it seems that everyone came to try, and when she stood in front of her desk, she saw the requirements of this recruitment. It was only when I was looking at the dishes that I suddenly realized.
