The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 146 Preparations Before Returning

"Ma'am, what do you want to eat tonight?" Aunt Jiang asked when Yao Yu came back.

"Let's cook some porridge." Yao Yu said, "For the rest, you can cook a few side dishes."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Aunt Jiang withdrew, and Yao Yu picked up a brush and began to draw a grid pattern.

When Xie Zhimo came back, he saw Yao Yu drew a lot of frames on the paper, and the styles of the frames were not the same, "Yu'er, what are you doing?"

"I bought a three-story shop in the capital, and I plan to open a lattice shop." Yao Yu explained in passing, "It's like this kind of lattice, and each lattice will sell different things."

Xie Zhimo felt that this kind of store was very novel, but then he thought of a question, "If each grid sells different items, how many kinds of things must there be?" Xie Zhimo looked at them and found that these grids are not big, but the store has three floors. There must be more varieties.

"So we not only sell our own products, but also help others to sell products. Of course, we need to charge a certain handling fee." Yao Yu briefly introduced the operation method of Xiajiapu.

Xie Zhimo's eyes lit up, "This is a good thing."

"I think so too." Yao Yu said bluntly.

The two discussed again, and Xie Zhimo also made a lot of suggestions on the source of customers, most of which Yao Yu adopted, which made Xie Zhimo even happier.

"Young Madam, Eldest Young Master, dinner is ready." Aunt Jiang's voice came from outside.

"Let's go, let's eat first." Xie Zhimo said.

Xiaoyouzi had dinner with Mrs. Du today, and Xiao Ruirui went to Xie Yuanwu's, so only Yao Yu, Xie Zhimo and Nuo'er were left in Hong Yunxuan's dinner.Sometimes Nuo Er would cook a small stove alone when she came back late, but today she was still on time and could have dinner with Xie Zhimo and Yao Yu.

Only then did Yao Yu realize that Nuo'er hadn't seen her for a while, and her heart ached suddenly. Since she came to the capital, Yao Yu seldom cared about Nuo'er. Subconsciously treating him as an adult, in fact, strictly speaking, Nuo'er is only ten years old, and Yao Yu felt a little guilty at the moment, "Nuo'er, what do you want to eat recently?"

Nuo'er didn't even think about it, and asked directly, "Can I have hot pot?"

It could be seen that Nuo'er wanted to eat hot pot for a long time, but Yao Yu asked today, so Nuo'er said that if before, Nuo'er would have told Yao Yu if she wanted to eat.Yao Yu felt even worse, "Okay, then we'll have hot pot tomorrow night."

Nuoer smiled, "Thank you, mother."

"You child, why are you being polite to me?" Yao Yu said.

Xie Zhimo rubbed his hands aside, "Then I can enjoy Nuoer tomorrow, and I have long wanted to eat hot pot."

Yao Yu laughed, and then said seriously, "Father and son, you are a family. You must tell us what you want to eat or want in the future."

Seeing that Yao Yu was serious, Nuo'er straightened her expression, "Mother, I will." As she grew up, Nuo'er knew that she was not Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo's biological child, but in all fairness, Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo have always treated him as if they were their own. The son is average.

Xie Zhimo also said embarrassedly, "Don't worry, it won't be like this next time."

Seeing that both father and son agreed, Yao Yu said, "By the way, it happened that you were all here, so I said it together. The second brother and sister-in-law decided to settle in the capital."

Xie Zhimo and Nuoer were surprised, "Really?"

"No wonder they left in such a hurry." Xie Zhimo added, before they had time to see Yao Chang off, they left, which made Xie Zhimo feel a little sorry.

"Well, they will go back to Jiangzhou to settle the matter first, and then they will come to the capital. By the way, Xiaolan and Xiaogui will also come over then." Yao Yu said with a relaxed tone, and it seemed that he was really upset because of this incident. feel happy.

"Great, when Miss Xiaolan and Brother Xiaogui come over, Grandpa Ji won't be so lonely." Speaking of old man Ji, Nuo'er felt a little guilty, going to the court every day to spend time with old man Ji There are very few, and once in a while, Xiu Mu might even go out to socialize.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Isn't that right, by the way, when will you two take a rest?"

"You can rest from the 24th." Xie Zhimo said.

"So do we. If there is nothing to do in the middle, we can go to the court after the fifteenth day." Nuo'er continued.

"Now we can have a good year." Yao Yu said, I don't know how Yao Chang and Liu Xian are handling Jiangzhou's affairs, it would be great if they can come here before the end of the year.

Xie Zhimo asked what Yao Yu was thinking, "Second brother, can they come here before the year?"

Yao Yu shook her head, "I don't know, my sister-in-law's store and my second brother's farm need to be sold, and I don't know what it is yet."

"Why don't we go back and have a look?" Xie Zhimo said, "I'll take a leave of absence from the court in advance, and we'll go back to Jiangzhou and Shuangshui Village together."

"Okay." Yao Yu agreed straight away, and there were still many things to deal with when he went back, especially the roast duck restaurant, and Yao's breakfast.

Nuo'er hurriedly said, "Then I'll take a leave of absence and go back with my parents."

"Okay." Xie Zhimo said, "When I come back, I will bring my second brother, sister-in-law, Xiaolan and Xiaogui to the capital together."

Nuoer nodded, quite happy, "Then when shall we set off?"

Xie Zhimo thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow, you and I will go to ask for leave tomorrow, then pack up our luggage and leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll go talk to Mr. Ji tomorrow." Yao Yu said, since it will take at least half a month to return to Jiangzhou, tell Mr. Ji in advance to avoid his worries.

After the three made an agreement, they went back to their rooms to rest. After Xie Zhimo and Yao Yu lay down, Xie Zhimo asked, "Do you want to write a letter to the second brother?"

Yao Yu shook his head, "It's almost New Year's Eve, and the delivery speed of the post station is slower than usual. Maybe we've all arrived in Jiangzhou, and the letters haven't reached the hands of the second brother."

"That's right." Xie Zhimo sighed, "It would be nice to have the mobile phone that Yu'er said."

Yao Yu laughed, "It may take another 1000 years." Even longer, she can't make this thing, let alone a mobile phone with power, Yao Yu can't make it, if she knows that she will travel through time one day, Yao Yu must study science and engineering well.

In the early morning of the second day, Yao Yu went to Mrs. Du's first, and told Mrs. Du about returning to Jiangzhou.Mrs. Du was a little surprised, "It's already the twelfth lunar month, are you still going to Jiangzhou?"

"Well, I haven't been back for a long time. Some things really need to be dealt with." Yao Yu continued, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back before the New Year."

Mrs. Du was obviously a little worried, "Then let the mansion send someone to escort you back."

"No need, grandma." Yao Yu said, "Knowledge of silence and martial arts, and Pei'an is no stranger to the way back to the capital, we will come back when we are done."

Deng muttered angrily in a low voice, "Sure enough, he is restless."

When Yao Yu didn't hear it, Mrs. Du glanced at Mrs. Deng and said, "Then when are you going to leave?"

"Today Zhimo and Nuoer went to ask for leave, and we plan to leave tomorrow." Yao Yu explained the reason by the way, "The earlier we leave, the earlier we come back."

"That's fine. Be careful on the road, and remember to send a message to your family." Mrs. Du said.

"Yes." Seeing that Mrs. Du agreed, Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and went to find Mr. Ji after leaving the mansion.

Unexpectedly, old man Dao Ji said, "Maybe I haven't gone out for a long time, so how about it, I will go back to Jiangzhou with you tomorrow."

"Okay." Mr. Ji has stayed in the capital for a year, and now he offered to go out, how could Yao Yu refuse, and it just so happens that Nuo'er can accompany Mr. Ji along the way, "Then we will come to pick you up tomorrow morning. "

After talking with Mr. Ji, Yao Yu put all the citron tea that he had made before into the cellar. Although it was winter and the citron tea would not go bad, Yao Yu still wanted to keep the umami taste of the citron as much as possible.

After finishing all this, Yao Yu went to find out the special pot for hot pot, and took them back to Xie Mansion together. Aunt Jiang had already prepared all the ingredients for the hot pot according to Yao Yu's instructions.

Yao Yu returned to Hong Yunxuan and began to prepare the bottom of the pot. Since entering Xie's mansion, Pei'an and Aunt Jiang have not shared a table with Yao Yu, so there are only five people eating at night, but Yao Yu still does it. Two pots, one for Aunt Jiang and the others to eat, and one for the mandarin ducks to eat for themselves.

The servants of Hong Yunxuan sighed a little when they learned that the young lady was cooking in person, and they were even more surprised when they saw the pot that Yao Yu brought out. Finally, when they saw one of the pots being brought over by Aunt Jiang, they could no longer express their feelings.

"This, is this the hot pot?" A servant asked.

"Yes." Aunt Jiang replied, "Hurry up and help the young lady bring all the ingredients to the dining room."

The servants did not have time to ask more questions, so they all helped to bring the dishes to the table, Yao Yu said, "Okay, you all go down to eat, there is no need to keep anyone here."

"Yes." The crowd retreated one after another, and then returned to Aunt Jiang's side. They sat down around the table, and the shock in their hearts hadn't subsided. , the entire Xie Mansion knew about it, but they didn't expect that they would be able to eat this hot pot one day.

"This pot is made by the Young Madam." Aunt Jiang added after finishing speaking, "Young Madam's craftsmanship is very good. Come on, everyone, eat it quickly. Even though the Young Madam said that there is no need to wait, we still have to pay attention to it. movement."

"Yes." Chong En happily picked up his chopsticks and started eating.Si Zhu sat aside, eating hot pot without saying a word, she had heard people say how delicious this hot pot was, and now she tasted it, it was really delicious.

"It's great to do things here." A servant sighed, there is no need to do too many things, the masters are easy to talk to, and the most important thing is that the master even cooks hot pot for the servants, who will believe it.

"So we have to do things well." Aunt Jiang was the oldest in this group of people, as soon as she spoke.Everyone hurriedly said, "Yes."
