Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 188 Life Is All About Ups and Downs
After the matter of the butter was over, Han Duyue went to prepare lunch for the nobleman. Although the servants around the nobleman told him a lot of precautions, compared to just now, Han Duyue's pressure was much less.

Judging from the nobleman's reaction just now, it should be that you are satisfied with the production of cream, right?
According to the order of the servant just now, Han Duyue made only four dishes after deliberation, one sweet and sour pork tenderloin, one crispy fresh milk, one bitter gourd scrambled eggs, and one thousand knife meat. to be included.

In addition, Han Duyue made two more soups, tomato egg soup, corn egg soup, one salty and one sweet. As for the corn in the corn soup, it was naturally listed in the list made by Han Duyue just now I bought it at Shuiyue Tower.

As for the staple food, in order to show his tenderness and consideration, Han Duyue specially prepared several kinds of staple food, from steamed buns to cakes, from cakes to noodles, everything that should be prepared was prepared.

These are the food for the nobles, and Han Duyue remembered Song Ning's advice before: "At that time, you should pay attention to the servants around the nobles, especially those who can serve in front of the nobles, it must be very difficult , if you can talk to me, or show me a favor, don't hesitate."

Han Duyue thought that this is an opportunity to show her kindness to those people, so after preparing these meals, she fried a few more ordinary side dishes, and the main food was the same as that for the nobles.

When the woman came to serve the food, she saw two food boxes in front of Han Duyue. She thought they were all for the master, but was stopped by Han Duyue when she was about to carry them.

"Sister, one of these two food boxes is for nobles, and the other is for you. There are only a few home-cooked dishes fried in them. Don't dislike them." Han Duyue smiled sweetly, and his voice was crisp. , very rare.

The woman raised her eyebrows, didn't say much, and left the kitchen with the food boxes left and right, while Han Duyue followed silently.

When they arrived at the nobleman's yard, after the woman brought the food, she told the nobleman that Han Duyue had also prepared meals for the servants around her.

Han Duyue hurriedly explained from the side: "I saw a few sisters standing outside all the time, it was really hard work, so I prepared some side dishes, and I helped them cook after I finished the meal for you. of."

"Do I look like that kind of harsh person?" The nobleman glanced at Han Duyue and waved his hand directly, "Since Miss Han took the trouble to prepare, let them taste it, don't forget it later Thank you Miss Han."

The woman nodded, and then left a food box and took the other food box down, so for a while, only Han Duyue and the nobleman were left in the room.

Han Duyue had no choice but to take out the food from the food box one by one, and when the food was all set up, he hurriedly made a complaint: "They are all small life dishes, I hope you don't dislike them, if you can't eat them If I get used to it, I can do it again.”

"It's very appetizing to look at, and it smells delicious, but I don't know what is the reason for these dishes?" The nobleman nodded, and his eyes glanced lightly at the food on the table.

Han Duyue briefly introduced the four dishes he made, and finally said: "... If you have to find a reason for these dishes, it is that they have all the ups and downs, and it is also the taste of life. As for these two soups, one is salty and the other is sweet. I won’t say much about the salty one. As for this sweet one, it’s called corn egg custard. The corn in it is grown on our land, so please try it .”

The nobleman looked at those few dishes one by one, but he didn't intend to move his chopsticks.

Han Duyue stood for a while before realizing it, picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the side, and said, "If you don't dislike it, why don't you let me try these dishes first?"

The lives of these people are really complicated. They have to test for poison before eating, and test for poison before drinking water. Does it mean that before going to bed, they should also check whether someone has tampered with them on the bed?What's the point of living such a life?

"No need." The nobleman waved his hand, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and started to eat.

Han Duyue was silent for a moment, then obediently stepped back and stood aside.

According to the order introduced by Han Duyue before, the nobleman tasted the four flavors of food, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, and commented: "Your craftsmanship is very good, and this dish is also very fresh."

"The so-called 'Food is the paramount necessity of the people', I'm just messing around, as long as you like it." After getting an affirmative answer, Han Duyue grinned.

The woman over there has come back, seeing that the nobleman has already started to eat food, she couldn't help being surprised, and subconsciously glanced at Han Duyue: "Master, forgive me, the servant girl came back late, I wonder what dishes the master ate?"

"You can serve me a bowl of soup. I want this egg and corn soup." The nobleman just raised his eyebrows, motioned for the woman to help her serve the soup, and emphasized, "Just serve it to me."

The implication is that there is no need to test the poison first.

Hearing this, the woman not only glanced at Han Duyue again, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and walked over to help the nobleman serve the soup.

After tasting a few mouthfuls of vegetables, the nobleman took a sip of egg and corn soup. She didn't seem to know how to eat the corn in the first mouthful. After chewing a few mouthfuls, her eyes lit up and she drank again A few mouthfuls.

"My lord, have you ever eaten corn before?" Han Duyue asked tentatively after thinking about it.

She felt that she was so frightened because of the arrival of this noble person, and she stood here serving this person for a long time, so she couldn't just give blindly and take nothing, could she?
However, Han Duyue did not dare to mention other requests, but she felt that the corn matter could still be mentioned. After all, this is a good thing that benefits the people and the country. Han Duyue feels that this topic is simply mutual benefit. Your honor shouldn't mind, right?

The nobleman raised his eyebrows, and after taking another sip of soup, he nodded slightly and said, "Although I've heard of it before, I haven't eaten it like this before."

This is easy to understand. According to what Han Duyue knew before, it's not that the people here have never grown corn, but because the method of planting it is wrong, and the way to eat it after it is finished is not reasonable, so they didn't do it later. People have grown this kind of thing again.

"Then do you think corn is delicious?" Han Duyue continued to blink and ask.

The nobleman nodded again: "Not bad, did you grow this corn?"

Although the content of these words is questionable, there is a touch of affirmation in his tone. Han Duyue guesses that this person has already found out about this matter before, so he is not pretentious, just nodded and said: "I figured it out blindly." , Originally, corn wasn’t that delicious, but because it’s so rare, I still made some money.”

Now Han Duyue's family's money has begun to be separated from public and private. Generally, half of the money earned by each person must be handed over to public property, and the remaining half will be kept privately.

On weekdays, if it is something that the family needs, such as everyone's clothes, daily meals, etc., it is all public funds, but if anyone wants to buy their own things, they have to spend their own money.

So after the corn incident, Han Qingmei and Xiaonian also had some savings of their own. Han Qingmei disagreed at the beginning. After all, most of the family's income now comes from Han Duyue. If it is divided in this way, everyone will still spend the money earned by Han Duyue.

But she thought about it again, even if it wasn't so divided, they used to spend Han Duyue's money before, and with Han Duyue's persuasion from the side, Han Qingmei finally agreed.

"Although you are young, you seem to be quite good at doing business." The nobleman seemed to have a small appetite, so he only ate some vegetables, drank a bowl and a half of egg and corn soup, and didn't even eat the staple food, so he put down his chopsticks directly "Are you bringing this up, are you trying to tell me something?"

Han Duyue thought about it, and said with anxiety: "I think the yield of corn is not low. Not only can it be made into various foods, but it can also be ground into noodles, steamed buns, and staple food. It’s good to be able to promote it.”

In fact, Han Duyue's plan before was to mobilize the people in the village to plant corn together, so that a small number of people could mobilize most people, and eventually corn planting became commonplace.

It's just that after the rumors happened, Han Duyue also realized a problem. Sometimes it's not because you have good intentions that you can accomplish good things. After all, people's hearts are the most unpredictable. If Han Duyue really wants to do it In this matter, I don't know what resistance I will encounter.

So she thought that if the documents could be issued from the top to let everyone learn to grow corn, and she appeared as a representative of the superior, then the meaning would be different. By then, her and their family's status in the village would be different. So, who would dare to question this matter?

In fact, it is obviously the same thing, but if you change the method, the process and effect will undergo huge changes. This world is so magical.

"But why do you think I can help you?" The nobleman looked straight at Han Duyue and asked word by word.

Han Duyue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized a very serious question. Although she had already guessed some possibilities in her heart, it was only a guess after all, and this nobleman hadn't said anything yet.

At this time, if she rashly made such a request, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the nobleman that she had already guessed about her identity?

Han Duyue secretly scolded herself for being too careless, and her thoughts wandered back and forth, and then said awkwardly: "I think that since even Master Yang treats you so respectfully and calls you a nobleman, you must be very powerful. It is precisely because of this that I made this unreasonable request, if you are not happy, then just pretend that I didn't say anything, but please don't be angry."
