Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 203 Gathering ([-])

Chun Equinox heard noises in the house outside the door, so he asked in a low voice, "Is Madam awake?"

"Get up, come in."

Chun Equinox opened the door with Xiao An, one of them carried a wooden basin with a cotton towel on his arm, and the other brought a bowl of steaming teacup, Chun Equinox walked to the bed and smiled, "Ma'am, I have a headache, I'm suffering from a headache." Hangover soup, Madam will be fine after drinking a cup." He said and handed the tea cup with both hands.

Mu Ai heard that hangover relieved headaches, so she quickly picked it up, smelled it carefully, and there was no particularly strange smell, so she drank it in one breath, and the sour taste seemed to rush directly into the lungs, instantly stimulating It made her nose and eyes feel sore, but after the soreness, she miraculously cleared her mind, and it really wasn't as uncomfortable as before.

After going to the ground to wash and change into clean clothes, I felt almost better, so I asked, "How did I come back last night?"

Xiaoan opened her mouth to answer, but was stared at by Chunfen and immediately went out with a basin in her hand. Chunfen poured a cup of tea for her mistress, then lowered her head slightly, and replied softly, "Mrs. Hui, you were very drunk last night. Master Ouyang sent you back."

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows, that's right, she seemed to remember coming out of the Xianke Building, entering the Jiayin Building, and bought two seal stones, after which it was a little blurry, presumably because the wine's stamina came up when it saw the wind Yes, you should drink in moderation in the future, if you didn't drink too much yesterday, you won't get drunk and pass out.

Suddenly remembered that yesterday he was only talking about business, it seemed that Ouyang hadn't had lunch yet, and he was drunk again at night, he wouldn't be hungry all the time, so he quickly asked, "Master Ouyang came back last night, but did you eat?"

Chun Equinox was taken aback, and then replied, "No, Master Ouyang never ordered to prepare meals. However, the snack box in Master Ouyang's room was newly replaced yesterday, and there are a lot of snacks in it."

Mu Ai nodded, Ouyang is not an idiot, he will definitely eat snacks when he is hungry. "What breakfast have you prepared today, send some more hungry ones to Master Ouyang."

"Yes, ma'am." Chun Equinox answered softly and went out.

After a while, the dining table was set up, and Mu Ai only drank a bowl of white rice porridge, and asked Xiao An and Chun Equinox to bring all the untouched side dishes to the kitchen to eat.

She stood at the door and watched for a while, only to see Ouyang push open the small door of the ear room and come out, just to meet her gaze, the corners of his perennially cold mouth turned up slightly...

Mu Ai's eyes widened instantly, she couldn't be dazzled, was Ouyang smiling?There is no reason like this, just because he saw her and laughed?Did the world turn upside down just because she got drunk just once? The cold and silent Ouyang was actually laughing!However, why is my heart so sweet, so happy that I seem to be flying, this man, I am afraid that the world will only show such a smile to himself...

Mu Liuyi got up early in the morning and took Wu's second sister-in-law Mu Qimujiu and Liu Quan and Shen Wang to tidy up the two courtyards, and then began to wait eagerly for the arrival of his mistress. Then an ordinary green cloth pony carriage slowly drove up.

With sharp eyes, Mu Qi recognized the man in black sitting on the front shaft of the car as Master Ouyang from a distance, and immediately shouted, "Sixth Shopkeeper, it's Madam who is here!"

Mu Liu and the others hurriedly stood in front of the door, and as soon as the carriage stopped, they went forward and took the low stool with their own hands and placed it under the door.Liu Quan and Shen Wang have been diligent and sensible these past few days, which is very much in the favor of He Muqi and the others, so it is inevitable to mention a few words to them.Second Sister-in-Law Wu was their old neighbor, so she did not hesitate to ask them out of reason, so the two of them were very curious about this future boss.

She kept peeking at the carriage, and when the door opened, two maidservants in emerald green clothes and silver hairpins jumped down first, and they turned around and helped down a young woman in a finely embroidered moon-white brocade dress, with towering black cloud temples. There are extremely bright and eye-catching phoenix hairpins on the top, two drop-shaped pendants inlaid with gold and jade on the ears, and a string of snow-white large pearl bracelets on the hands. Wen Dandan glanced over, and the two of them immediately panicked from the bottom of their hearts for the sizing just now.

Mu Liu and others stepped forward to greet him, "Madam, you are here."

Mu Ai looked around at the spacious and flat open space and the horse stakes inserted in the surrounding ground, nodded, smiled lightly, and praised, "It's so convenient for visitors to have a place to tie their horses. The last time I came I haven't seen these arrangements yet, so it can be seen that you have worked hard these days and have worked hard for everyone."

"Ma'am, it's what we should do. It's cold outside, please invite madam into the yard." Mu Liu got madam's praise, his face flushed with excitement, and he quickly bowed and invited the mistress into the yard.

Mu Ai slowly went in and out and walked around twice. Everywhere has been completely remodeled according to the drawings she originally designed. The warehouse where the medicinal materials are to be stored is also opening the windows for ventilation. Another layer of thick wooden boards was laid on it, presumably it was arranged by Mr. Wang.

The two noodle bowls in the large kitchen are filled with fine flour and breaded grain noodles. Pots and bowls are placed neatly on the front of the chopping board. There are still a few unfinished steamed buns left in a large round drawer on the left, and on the right. On the side are raw bean sprouts and a few cabbage, and a few strips of pickled pork belly are hung under the eaves, shaking slightly with the wind.

Mu Ai called Mrs. Wu over, pointed at the pieces of meat and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Wu, is there bacon hanging under the eaves?"

The second sister-in-law Wu had never heard of the name bacon, so she said honestly, "Ma'am, this meat is left over when I gave everyone wages to reward the meat a few days ago. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The method was salted several times, hung on the eaves and blown, thinking that it would be good to cook a stew in summer. We poor people call it bacon, but I don’t know if it is the same as the bacon that my wife said.”

When Mu Ai was young, she only ate bacon made by her grandma. I don’t know the detailed method, but it should be similar. Thinking of the deliciousness of bacon stewed with beans, she said, “Second sister-in-law Wu is really kind, I will buy a few catties in a few days. The meat is marinated in the same way when it comes back, and a few pieces will be sent to the village in summer, and I will make some new dishes."

"Yes, ma'am." The second sister-in-law of Wu answered straight away. She thought that Madam would scold her, but unexpectedly, she was praised, and she wanted to use this bacon to make new dishes, so she immediately smiled happily.

"The medical center will open in a few days. I'm afraid everyone will be very busy. You are in charge of the food. You must arrange it well so that everyone is full."

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry, with me in the kitchen, everyone will be able to eat and drink well every day." Second Aunt Wu vowed to her mistress, her heart was very excited because of her trust.

Mu Ai nodded, "After these two months of work, I will send someone to replace you. Fengshou is very clever at reading and writing every day, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Fengshou followed the young masters and was taught by his wife. I don't think about it at all. I just hope that he will learn more and help the young master in the future." Wu Ersao remembered that her son sat with the young masters every day to read and eat. The meals and snacks, I am more grateful to my wife for her kindness.

"Okay, it's time to prepare lunch at this time, you should be busy. My food is as good as Mr. Wang's." Mu Ai ordered a few words and entered Sanjin's yard, and saw Sun Hao and Er Niu waiting in the yard. Seeing her coming in, they all stepped forward to salute, Mu Ai returned the salute, and then they entered the main hall together.

Mr. Wang was sitting on a chair, drinking tea while reading a medical book, shaking his head from time to time to recite, he really felt at ease.

Mu Ai smiled and said, "I was still worrying about making the old man troublesome at home, but seeing the old man is so at ease today, I realized that I was worrying in vain."

The old man put down the medical book in his hand, and said with a smile, "Girl, I'm afraid I'll be too busy to drink tea when I open in two days, now hurry up and rest for a while, you're still picky!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, how about I cook two delicious dishes for the old man to make amends later?" Mu Ai smiled and apologized.

The old man immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It's not too bad, don't be too troublesome, just have sweet and sour pork ribs and fish head tofu soup."

Mu Ai took the chair on the other side, took the teacup that Xiao An held in both hands, took a sip and said, and told Mu Liu, "Send someone to buy ingredients, and then tell Mrs. Wu that she will only make a big stove. That's enough, I'll do the cooking myself in a while."

"Yes, ma'am." Mu Liu turned around and nodded at Mu Qi, and Mu Qi flew out.

Mu Ai thought of the matter of suppressing Tangbao, and asked angrily, "The old man knew that the medical center was going to suppress Tangbao, but he didn't even remind me in advance. I only found out about such a big event from the medicinal material merchant Boss Hu yesterday." .”

Mr. Wang laughed, "It's a big deal for others, but it's not very easy for you. We are not a century-old brand. We just treat the common people and give up some medicinal materials. We have 200-year-old mountain ginseng and other products That's fine, don't have to offer something that is too eye-catching."

Sun Hao was drinking tea quietly next to him. Hearing the old man's relaxed tone, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth. The 200-year-old mountain ginseng, and their Sun's family's century-old foundation, only saved one. I have never even seen it before, but the old man actually said to take one at random. Could it be that this precious medicinal material is as common as a roadside branch in Mrs. Xian's place.However, when he thought about the Night Fairy Grass that he prepared and drank, he felt at peace. There are such legendary things, and wild ginseng is really too ordinary in comparison.

Mu Ai heard him coughing, so she asked, "Brother Sun, I'm still used to living in the hospital for a few days. I don't know what the result of the old man's pulse diagnosis is? Do you still need to continue drinking medicinal soup?"

Sun Hao laughed quickly and said, "The old man is very skilled in medicine, the medicine will cure the disease, and there will be no need to drink medicinal soup in the future, Mrs. Xie will miss it."

Mr. Wang glanced at Sun Hao with a smile, and said to Mu Ai, "Others will lose weight when they are in poor health. He is very good. He has gained a lot of weight in half a month, thanks to you sending someone to give him food. Otherwise, I would have lost weight." The yard is probably burnt to ruins."

Sun Hao smiled wryly, "Don't blame the old man, I will ask someone to renovate your house this time when I go back this time, so that there is no ashes in the slightest?"

Mr. Wang waved his hand, "No need, as an elder, can I take advantage of a junior like you? Just find someone to repair the stove."

"Yes", Sun Hao quickly responded.
