Chapter 11 Invitation

In her opinion, the young master doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he never gets angry.Aside from the fact that Zhu'er seemed a little unpredictable and had a good temper, she didn't understand why Grandpa always had such a sincere and fearful look on his face.

Gong Zhiming glanced at Xiangxiang lightly, and then looked at Uncle Yun who he had scolded first, guessing that the old man was afraid that he would be harsh on Xiangxiang, so he said a few words first.In fact, the old man is still too cautious, as long as he doesn't violate his taboo, how can he care about this little girl.

Lifting his only movable right hand to close the window, blocking the hot scene outside, he lay down again, just about to pick up the book next to the pillow, but found that there were a few more plates of food on the Kang table at some time.It was nothing special at first, but the small buns on the plate caught his eye.

The skin of the steamed stuffed bun is white, tender and smooth, carefully carved and twisted into a flower shape, the flower shape is more three-dimensional than usual, the wrinkles are pinched extremely thin, like a girl's water waist, the whole steamed stuffed bun is like a thin-necked vase.What's more ingenious is that the flower heart on the top also ordered a black bean.

This steamed stuffed bun looks pleasing to the eye, and it must have taken a lot of thought to make it, Gong Zhiming's eyes flashed with interest.In this barren village, you can still see such exquisite food.It's just that I don't know, what kind of wonderful person is this cook?

Thinking like this, he propped his right hand on the bed and got up again, and finally picked up a bun.There is a soft and moist touch from the palm of the hand, and the aroma enters the nostrils after a sniff, as if the fillings in the buns are rushing all the way to the nostrils.At the entrance, I found that the dough was very tough, and the stuffing inside was cut into pieces. I couldn't tell the raw materials, but it was very delicious.

It was rare for Uncle Yun to see his master so interested in food, his eyes were full of joy, and he said with a smile, "Master, this colorful bun is a new product bought from a tea shop in the village. I heard that the cook who made this bun He is the apprentice of the grandma of the mountain god here, and he does have some unique skills."

"How can gods and ghosts believe it!" Gong Zhiming slowly finished the bun in his hand, his stomach felt extremely comfortable, but he spoke indifferently.

Uncle Yun was reprimanded, but he still had a smile on his face, "Young master is right! However, it's rare that the steamed stuffed buns made by that woman suit the young master's appetite. The old servant is thinking about recruiting people from left to right, why not recruit this woman into the courtyard Come cook and eat. How are you?"

"Not good!" Xiangxiang yelled when she heard the words from the side.Uncle Yun was so annoyed that he pulled her arm, he was the most disciplined in his life, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiangxiang was his own granddaughter, he would have slapped her away long ago.How could the master not speak up, and the slaves objected first?

Gong Zhiming didn't care about it, he waved his hands and said, "Uncle Yun just decides, you all go get busy."

Uncle Yun quickly agreed, and as soon as the grandparents and grandchildren left the room, Xiangxiang yelled, "Grandpa, that woman can't be recruited! Recently, it has been rumored in the village that she is carrying a wild seed in her stomach, so shameless!" , must not be recruited into our courtyard!"

"Shut up!" Uncle Yun was furious, half because of his granddaughter who didn't understand the rules several times, and half because he couldn't bear it after hearing "wild species", the old man's eyes were as cold as ice, "I warned you to be careful Be careful, can you even forget? Don’t think that the young master can get along well. I have been serving the young master for decades, so I’m not as good as a girl like you? If you can’t control your temper, I’ll send you back to your hometown!”

It would be a shame to be demoted back to his hometown. When Xiangxiang came out, she showed off to the little sisters, and she will return to her hometown in full glory in the future.

Seeing her grandfather's rare sternness at this moment, no matter how wronged she was, she could only endure it, after all, she would have to rely on her grandfather to have a good life in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiangxiang bowed her head and apologized kindly, and hugged her grandfather's arm to act like a spoiled child, and then it was over.

Uncle Yun is an old man, how could he not see the disbelief in his granddaughter's eyes.But he could only sigh in the end, and after a long stay, he took care of all the trivial matters of moving, and finally went to Ding's tea shop.

In the Ding's shop, only Mrs. Lu was wiping the tables and chairs, and when he saw a visitor, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Old man, do you want to pad your stomach or have a cup of hot tea? Our shop has recently released a new dumpling, with both meat and vegetarian fillings. Do you want to try it..."

Ding Wei can't stay idle at home these days. After raising her for more than half a month, she began to toss and study new styles of food. The income of the tea shop was more or less affected by the disaster she caused.She has no way to stop those verbal swords that are shot at her family members, and she can't save her family members from grievances, so she can only use her heart to develop ways of making money.

The dumplings are exquisite in shape, and the fillings are bright and changeable. Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not skillful in wrapping them for a while, so she was the only one hiding in the back of the shop and busying herself in the kitchen.It was time to pick up the dumplings and make up the curtains, so she didn't care about the people coming in the front lobby.

After hearing Uncle Yun's self-report, Mrs. Lu looked at the old man very carefully.This foreigner bought land in the village and built a yard, so he was considered half a villager.

Nowadays, everyone treats the Ding family like a snake and a scorpion. If they can establish a good relationship with outsiders, even if there is no benefit, there will always be no harm.Thinking of this, she became even more enthusiastic, and before the old man could open his mouth, he picked up a plate full of buns of various colors from the shop and brought them up.

"The appearance of this steamed stuffed bun is really flattering. I heard that it was made by the disciples of the Mountain God. It would be a wonderful story to spread the word." Uncle Yun smiled and spoke softly.

When Mrs. Lu heard her daughter being praised, she couldn't see her eyes from a smile, "Master Yun is too flattering, and my daughter also happened to fall into the eyes of Grandma Shanshen."

But Uncle Yun didn't move his chopsticks, instead he said straight to the point, "To tell you the truth, old girl, my grandson has been too lazy to eat recently, but he ate the buns from your shop this morning, and he really likes them. That's why I'm here now Things come."

"What's the matter with Master Yun? To put it bluntly, if our family can help, we will definitely not refuse!" Lu's face was full of joy, and he deserved it.She is kind and warm-hearted, not to mention people from the same village, even if she is a stranger old man asking for help, she will try her best to help.

"I want to invite your girl to my yard to cook some food." Unfortunately, as soon as Uncle Yun opened his mouth, Mrs. Lu got into a difficult situation, thinking about how to refuse.

Xu Shi saw Lu Shi's thoughts, Uncle Yun sighed again, and begged with a bitter face, "Old girl, I also know that my request is a little rude, but you don't know, my grandson is not feeling well, eating It’s very little, but it makes me worry every day. I didn’t expect to send someone to the shop this morning to buy a few steamed stuffed buns to go home. My grandson’s appetite was met, and the buns were eaten up. That’s why I came here with an old face Please, old girl, don’t worry, my yard is very clean, and my wages are also generous, definitely worthy of your girl’s craftsmanship!”

Of course, Mrs. Lu is not worried about the amount of wages. After all, the two taels of silver that he earned on the opening day was written by Uncle Yun. He is obviously not mean and stingy.

It's just that, for an unmarried girl's family, it's always a little bad to show up and help cook in outsiders' yards.Besides, although Wei'er has a much more docile temperament than before, she is a person with ideas in her bones. This matter is not a trivial matter, and she was not sure for a while.

Seeing this, Uncle Yun felt that he had something to offer, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Old girl, I can guess what you are worried about. But I only value your girl's craftsmanship, and nothing else matters! Besides, my yard is far away from In the village, gossip will be isolated, and it is a good thing to say nothing."

"Master Yun, I know that this errand in your family must be excellent. It's just that my daughter has her own ideas, and I can't decide. Can you give me some time to go back and discuss it with my daughter and family members..." Lu's heart was very moved, but she was a woman, she had no idea, so she had to agree to think about it first.

"Of course!" Uncle Yun immediately responded with a smile. From his point of view, no matter what the reason is, the Ding family will not refuse.

While talking, he bought more than a dozen buns, then left and left, leaving Mrs. Lu frowning to enter the back kitchen.

Ding Wei was bending over to lift the drawer from the pot and stove, her jacket and skirt were stained with flour, her temple hair was disheveled, and she was sweating profusely.Occasionally, I looked up and saw that my mother's expression was not right, so I asked, "Mother, the buns are all steamed. Just now, who were you talking to in front?"

When Lu came back to his senses and saw her like this, he rushed over immediately, took the heavy cage from the girl's hand, and complained, "Oh, who made you do this heavy work? You are still weak, don't worry about it." Be more careful!"

"It's okay!" Ding Wei wiped the sweat off her face and smiled lightly.The family is burdened by her, and she feels at ease by helping out with the chores.What's more, there are still theories in later generations, and more activities are also good for future production.

Mrs. Lu sighed inwardly. Since her daughter went to bed and forgot about the past, although she has become smarter, she has also begun to hide her thoughts. As a mother, she sometimes looks distressed but is really helpless.

"Wei'er, mother has something to discuss with you, so come and sit for a while." Mrs. Lu grabbed hold of her daughter who was still busy, and became more determined to protect her.The mother and daughter went to sit in the spacious lobby, and Mrs. Lu told the request of Master Hu Yun from outside.

"I won't go!" Ding Wei refused without thinking.Her craftsmanship cannot be said to be rare, but at least it can be sold as rare here.She also plans to expand the family shop. If she works as a cook for others and earns three to five taels of wages every month, she will definitely suffer a loss.

"Mother, are you worried that I can't bear the gossip of the villagers. Don't worry, I'm the disciple of Grandma Shanshen, so I'm not so narrow-minded. I will try to find a way to make money after I give birth to my child, and I will definitely let you Have a great time!"

Mrs. Lu touched her daughter's hair, and the circles of her eyes gradually turned red, "How can mother not believe you, but mother loves you. Girl, you don't think about yourself, but also think about the child in your belly. In the first few months It's easy to lose your body. If you work so hard day and night, if you don't sleep well, I'm afraid you'll be exhausted.

The courtyard of the Yun family is clean, Master Yun really loves his grandson.He also said earlier that he knew about you, and he promised his mother that the people in the Yun family's yard would not gossip about you, so he should hide for a quiet life.You listen to your mother's advice and think about it carefully. "

Ding Wei looked at her mother's slightly gray hair on the sideburns and the concern in her eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart, and after pondering for a while, she said, "It's not impossible for me to go to Yun's house to cook and eat, but I can't live there all the time. I went there a few times, going early and returning late, I was really worried about my home and shop."
