A peasant girl

Chapter 683 Start of work, cakes made in summer

After they left, An Hao turned her head to look at Jun Shen and asked, "Jun Shen, don't you always dislike him giving me things, why did you let me accept them this time?"

This guy, aren't you jealous this time?

Hearing this, Jun Shen stepped forward and patted An Hao's head and said: "Among the things they sent this time, you probably know some of them. I just saw your happy face, how can I make you refuse to accept it.... "

Hearing what Jun Shen said, Anhao looked at him and said, "Jun Shen, why are you so nice..."

"It's not good for you, who is it good for?"

Hearing this, Anhao felt warm in her heart. After thinking about it, Anhao looked at Jun Shen and said, "One of the things they sent was called kelp. This thing lives in the sea. Eat more of this kelp to keep out the cold and strengthen your body." Our body's ability to keep out the cold. In addition, it can also prevent and treat some diseases of the rich and noble..."

"Listen to you, this kelp is pretty good."

After chatting for a while, Anhao called Habayashi and the others, and moved everything back home with them.

For lunch, Huixin and the others mainly cook, while Anhao only cooks pork ribs and seaweed soup and cold seaweed shreds.

After moving a few things in the carriage, Anhao stopped moving, because it was getting late and she still had to cook.

After picking out a few pieces of dried kelp from the storeroom, An Hao brought them to the kitchen.

When they entered the kitchen, Huixin and Huilan were cutting meat, Qinglong and Xuebi were helping to wash and chop vegetables, while Suzaku was helping to light the fire, and the wooden barrel rice was already steaming in the pot.

"Master, what are you holding in your hand?"

Seeing that Anhao came in with something, Qinglong looked at it but didn't recognize it, so he couldn't help asking.

When Qinglong asked, Huixin and the others all looked over.

"This one is edible. It's called kelp, and it's a kind of algae that grows in the sea..."

After chatting for a while, Anhao asked Suzaku to heat up another pot. With Suzaku on fire, Anhao only felt that the fire was bigger than usual.

Dried kelp, An Hao intends to steam it, then soak it, and then wash it, so that it is delicious whether it is stewed or cold.

Huixin and the others had never seen kelp before, so they looked towards Anhao from time to time.

An Xin's handicraft workshop was not too dirty, and it didn't take long for them to clean everything up.

The shells dyed years ago are almost used up, and now the workers in the workshop can only make head flower ornaments first.

Seeing that there was still some time before eating, An Xin planned to go up the mountain to pick dyed flowers and plants.

After discussing with An Ran, they went to find Yan Jiu, and when they learned that An Xin and the others were going up the mountain, Yan Jiu asked Yan Yi to go with them.

There is one in the backpack workshop, and you can go up the mountain directly with your back on your back.

When they went down the mountain, it was already noon, and the interviewees had almost finished their interviews, and the workshop was also starting to cook.

After putting down the basket, An Xin and the others went home.

As soon as they left the workshop, they met Tang Tianqi, who happened to be back for lunch.

When they returned home, they happened to see Haruyuki and the others coming out of the kitchen with food.

Not seeing An Hao's figure, An Xin and the others knew she must be in the kitchen, so they ran towards the kitchen.

As soon as he came in, he saw Anhao picked up a spoon, scooped out some soup from the crock, and tasted it.

"Sister, what are you doing delicious today?"

Hearing An Xin's voice, An Hao looked back at them and said with a smile: "Today, I just made two dishes, one pork ribs seaweed soup, one cold seaweed shreds..."

An Xin left early, so naturally she didn't know that the kelp was sent by Mu Tata and the others.

As soon as An Hao mentioned it, they asked, after all, they had never eaten this food before.

After chatting for a few words, An Xin finally understood.

After talking with Anhao for a while, they helped move the dishes.

Mu Tata and the others have come to An Yue Village, so many times, this is the first time to eat at An Hao's house.

Seeing so many dishes on the table right now, I don't know which dish to start with, I just think that every dish is good.Just as she was thinking, Huixin and the others came out with pork ribs and seaweed soup, and after a while, they came out with cold seaweed shreds.

They have also eaten kelp, which is also stewed soup, but the ingredients added to the soup are different from those added by Anhao.

Watching, they picked up the bowls one by one and filled some soup, and this drink was even better than what they had drunk before.

After a meal, Mu Tata and the others only felt that the food in Yanzhou was much better than their Xiliang food.

Not long after eating, Junshen's people drove a carriage to Anyue Village, with a total of twelve carts.

Mu Tata didn't expect that Jun Shen had prepared so many gifts in return, one cart more than their king prepared.

When Mu Tata and the others moved their things into their carriage, Anhao brought some people over. These were also her New Year gift to seal the well. Huixin and the others made bacon in the workshop a few years ago. In addition to the sausages, there are ten jars of pickled peppers to eat, and there are also a lot of white fungus.

Before leaving, Mu Tata came to the workshop where An Xin was, called her out, and gave her a beautiful conch.

Handed it to An Xin, and he left.

When An Xin came to her senses, Mu Tata had already boarded the carriage and left the gate of the workshop.

Holding the conch, An Xin froze in place, what was he doing, to give her a conch, is this a New Year's gift?

Thinking of this, An Xin stopped thinking about it.

But this conch is so big, it is a bit conspicuous when it is brought into the workshop, after thinking about it, An Xin took it home.

In the afternoon, they were all fine, so we went to interview the workers together.

This speed is much faster.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Anhao and the others received a letter from Yin Xiu, inviting them to attend the imperial capital. The time for their children's full moon banquet was set on the 28th of the first lunar month.

Normally, it should be held around the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, but Su Yunniang gave birth to a child with heavy bleeding, so Yin Xiu asked her to confine her for ten more days, so the full moon banquet was held a little later.

This made An Hao very happy, after all, Yang Baoer and the others got married on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, she didn't go to Yang Yuer's wedding, it would be bad if she didn't go to Yang Baoer's wedding.With Yin Xiu's arrangement, they can attend Yang Baoer's wedding and go to the imperial capital.

After receiving the letter, Anhao asked An Dahai to write a letter to Su Heng and the others, asking them to gather at the Juewei BBQ Square on the 21st of the first lunar month, and then go to the imperial capital together.

Well, they didn't finish the interview until the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

People are almost recruited, besides the people and women from these villages, some people who heard the news from other places have also come. After this trick, a lot of embroiderers have been recruited, but only a few are skilled in embroidering. Anhao asked Junshen to find someone to train them.

On the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the new workshop officially started. Before that, the prepared fabrics, needlework, scissors, and overalls were all in place.

An Hao gave the newcomers a month to study with half of the salary, but if they couldn't learn well after a month, she didn't plan to have such an employee.

Most of the people are very happy to learn something and eat and pay half of the wages.Seeing that everyone has no opinion, the few who have opinions can only shut up.

As for the finished embroidery work, other people are responsible for the embroidery, stitching, and packaging.

On the side of the rotating table, there is a division of labor and cooperation.The learning time for newcomers is also one month.

Not long after lunch, Anhao and Junshen came to Xingongfang.

The new workshop started, and Yun Zhengde and the others were good carpenters, so Anhao asked them to help guide and take care of it. When they came, Yun Zhengde, Yun Qingfeng, and Feng Tianxiang were already here.

Seeing how responsible they are, Anhao really doesn't know what to say, they are afraid they came after eating.

See them instructing the workers, and they are watching when they are safe.

After they stopped talking to the workers, An Hao stepped forward to talk to them. After a short chat, An Hao and Jun Shen went to the embroidery workshop.Free training, and wages, most of the people are serious about learning, and Anhao is satisfied with it.

After watching them for a while, An Hao and the others went to the next door, but they just stood at the door, but they didn't go in. The room here is full of embroiderers who are good at embroidery.

At this time, everyone is embroidering, and they are all embroidering very seriously.

The embroidered lady sent by Junshen was among them, walking around and watching.

If you see something wrong, you will come forward and correct it.

Next to them is the workshop responsible for stitching. The embroiderers here are selected. Although the embroidery is not particularly good, the stitching is good.

Packing and cutting are at the back, and everyone in every room is busy.

On the sewing side of the schoolbag, the embroidered lady under Jun Shen is in charge, and she is also busy right now.

Seeing that they were all studying hard, they didn't go in to disturb them.

Just as he was about to leave the new workshop, he saw Yan Yi running over. He seemed to be holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, princess, Shuiyunxing sent someone to send a letter..."

As Yan Yi said, he stepped forward and handed the letter to Jun Shen, and after handing it to Jun Shen, Yan Yi left.

After Jun Shen got it, he opened it and looked at it, and An Hao also leaned forward to have a look.

Ordinarily, Yun Xiaoqi and the others should have returned to Yuehan City long ago, but they never came back, and there was no news of them. An Hao was always worried, and now that the letter came, she naturally wanted to read it.

The letter was written by Shui Yunxing. He said that they came back yesterday afternoon, and Yun Xiaoqi was a little gassy before, so they were delayed a lot of time on the way, and naturally they came back late.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is also the annual Lantern Festival. Shuiyunxing is back, so it is natural to invite Xuan Mingzi and Jun Shen to have dinner with them.Besides, Ye Juese, Fei Yang and the others, Shuiyunxing also invited them.

Speaking of which, this year's Lantern Festival is more lively than previous years.

Because, in addition to the Lantern Festival, there is also a food festival in this year's Yuehan City.It starts on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and ends on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Jun Shen, did Yuehan City have a food festival in previous years..."

Hearing this, Jun Shen looked at An Hao and said with a smile: "Food festivals come in rotations in each city, and this year it happens to be the turn of Yuehan City..."

In addition to the food festival, there are many more lanterns for people to appreciate than in previous years.

Hearing what Jun Shen said, An Hao looked at him and said, "So, you knew it before...."

Jun Shen smiled and said: "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't want to, Shui Yunxing, this guy even sent a letter..."

When Jun Shen said this, An Hao didn't know what to say.

After chatting for a while, they wandered around the workshop for a while, Anhao and the others went to the other two workshops to have a look, and after seeing them all, Anhao asked Jun Shen to go with him to Feiyang's house.

These days, Anhao has taken some time every day to give Xia Tian an injection. Her body is already better than before, and her internal injuries have also been recuperated by Anhao. have to drink.

But her body was injured after all, even if she recovers, her body is not as good as before.

As soon as he heard the knock on the door, Xia Tian knew it was Anhao, because the sound of Anhao knocking on the door was different from others, after listening to it so many times, he naturally recognized it.

"Fei Yang, hurry up and open the door, that girl An Hao must be here."

"Understood, Master, I'll go right away."

Fei Yang didn't know how Xia Tian heard it, anyway, every time she said that, he went to open the door, and what he saw was sure to be safe.

I don't know why, but he always feels that Xia Tian likes An Hao very much. Is this a coincidence?

Having known each other for so long, he has never seen Xia Tian being so warm to anyone, or smiling so much to anyone.

Ye Juese was also curious, how did Xia Tian know that An Hao was here, the courtyard wall is so high, it stands to reason that one cannot see outside.Moreover, Habayashi and the others often send things over.It's not medicine, it's food.

"Well, Jun Shen, you are here, come in quickly..."

As soon as An Hao and Jun Shen came in, Xia Tian yelled at An Hao: "Girl, you are here, come quickly..."

Every time Anhao comes, Jun Shen is with her.

But in Xia Tian, ​​he only greeted An Hao, but never greeted Jun Shen.Jun Shen is also used to it. After getting along these days, he can also see that Xia Tian really likes Anhao, and he is very special to Anhao. He can't tell what kind of feeling it is.

Anhao also found it strange, but she didn't want to ask.

As soon as An Hao sat down, Xia Tian pushed the pastry in front of her to An Hao.

"Girl, have a try, the winter plum and apple cake I made..."

The shape of the cake really looks like a flower, the color is golden, and it looks neither thick nor thin. Anhao picked up one and opened it, and a faint floral fragrance emanated from the cake.

This fragrance is exactly the taste of wintersweet, but there is no winter plum, and the stuffing inside is made of apples.

Take a bite, it is fragrant and sweet, which is not bad.

"Is it tasty……"

"Grandma Xia, the cake you made is not bad, it's delicious."

When Xia Tian heard An Hao call her grandma, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she is not her grandma, she is her great-grandmother.However, she didn't dare to admit it, she was afraid that Anhao and the others would blame her and blame her.

But when An Hao said that the cakes she made were delicious, she was very happy.

"Jun Shen, try it too..."

Xia Tian looked at it, and really didn't know what to say, this girl, why did she like him so much.

"not bad……."

At this time, Ye Juese, who was sitting on the side, said: "We found this flower when we went up the mountain in the morning. We wanted to smell the fragrance and put it at home to smell comfortable. But I didn't want to. Master recognized it at a glance. Lamei, also said that this flower can be used to make cakes, and we went to the mountain to pick a lot of them. After lunch, Master started to make cakes. It was really delicious when I didn’t think about it. I just made it. In a moment, you will come..."

"Then we came just in time..." An Hao couldn't help smiling as she said.

This cake is neither big nor small, even after a meal, you can still eat a few.

After chatting for a while, Anhao gave Xia Tian a pulse, and then went into the room to give her a needle.

Every time after getting the needles in Xia Tian, ​​she had to sleep for a while, seeing her fall asleep, An Hao covered her up, and then she came out.

When she came out, Fei Yang was chatting with Jun Shen, and the topic of conversation was tomorrow's Lantern Festival.

After walking over and sitting down, An Hao looked at Fei Yang and said, "Brother Fei Yang, are you going to Yuehan City tomorrow? Tomorrow, Yuecheng City will not only be able to watch the lanterns, but also have a lot of delicious food..."

Shui Yunxing sent the invitation to Fei Yang and the others separately, so Anhao didn't know yet.

"Tomorrow, of course we are going, Shuiyunxing also invited us..."

"Well, that's fine, let's go together tomorrow. But, will your master go..." Hearing this, An Hao looked at Fei Yang and said.

"I've spoken to her and she said she's going."

"Ah."

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, An Hao and the others stayed at Fei Yang's house until mid-afternoon before returning home.

After dinner in the evening, Anhao told her family about going to Yuehan City tomorrow, and Anxin and the others were very happy to learn that there would be a food festival tomorrow, so that they could eat a lot of delicious food.

It's true to say that, those who came to participate in the food festival from various places have already arrived in Yuehan City.

Food festival, stalls are placed on both sides of the street.

Those who come to participate in the food festival, after arriving in Yuehan City, report to Zhu Cheng, and you will get a booth that belongs to you.

The food festival starts on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and ends in the afternoon of the nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

After the food festival is over, instead of closing the stall immediately, everyone is asked to vote, one person, one vote, and only one family can vote.The number of votes, the top [-], all have rewards, and the rewards are different.The top three will get a handwritten letter from King's Landing. If they really get this, it will be regarded as a golden signboard.

A few days ago, Ding Shan went to Zhu Cheng according to what Jun Shen said, and re-armed Yuehan City. Today's Yuehan City is full of patrolling soldiers.

After the Food Festival starts, the Yanjia Army will still stand guard in Yuehan City.

Tomorrow, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Tang Tianqi and his academy are on holiday, so they can go to Yuehan City with Anhao and the others tomorrow.

As soon as tomorrow was mentioned, everyone was very happy. After chatting for a long time, it was late at night when they went to bed.
