Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 51

This made the county magistrate's wife overjoyed, and the reason why she handed over this matter to Yiyou was because she disliked the wedding cakes made by several shops in the county town as too vulgar.This girl made peony cakes, which are considered top-quality cakes in the capital, so the wedding cakes she came up with are not far behind.

"Think about it carefully, and if you do this well, the title deed of the courtyard will belong to you."

Even though Yiyou has seen big storms, she couldn't restrain her inner agitation at this moment.There is no other reason. Since the name was removed from the Shen family tree, although the mother and son settled down in the county magistrate, they are still black households.The Dai Viet Decree is slightly different from the previous dynasties. If ordinary villagers want to settle in a certain place, they must buy real estate.

Since her mother reconciled and left, she was afraid that the Shen clan would know about it, so she only said that she had settled down in the county magistrate.However, paper cannot contain fire, and as time goes on, it is inevitable that the secret will not be exposed.The matter of Shen Fuhai happened today, I'm afraid they will pay more attention to it.

Not to mention the high value of the courtyard house, but the fact that the house deed is available for settlement is enough for Yiyou to be very happy.

Today, she finally feels that although Mrs. Xiancheng is a bit savage, she is not as evil as she was in her previous life impression.She didn't know that it was because of her change that the attitudes of the people around her changed accordingly.

One link after another, just now there is good fortune today.

Convinced sincerely, she bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Ma'am, the daughter of the people is bold, and I still have one thing to ask."

"You girl, you have a lot of things to do at such a young age. Anyway, my wife is in a good mood today, let me tell you."

"Minnv intends to buy a maid with skillful hands, and a rough maid. However, the minnv has been poor since she was a child, and she has never been in touch with this matter. Now she has no clue. The servants in the back house of the county government have their own limits. I think Madam must have some experience here, please give me some pointers."

"Forget it, this time Qiao Jie got married, I also chose a few more maids and wives, and now I will assign them to you two."

Yiyou's move was to avoid laziness. In her previous life, she didn't know people clearly, and in this life, she dared not buy people casually from traffickers.However, she also has concerns. The two came from the county government, and they were rewarded by the county magistrate's wife.

At that moment, she took out her purse: "Please tell me how much the maid bought by Madam is worth."

"Use it first. If the wedding cake is well done, the two of you will reward you together with the house deed."

Having seen riches and honors, Yiyou knew that ten taels of money would be regarded as a huge sum of money by ordinary people, but to the county magistrate's wife, it was just pearls and hairpins that were used to reward her servants at will.

Even so, she didn't hold back, "Mrs. is so kind, Yiyou will definitely make a wedding cake that satisfies Miss."

The matter came to an end. Seeing the sound of the clock outside and the sky starting to turn yellow, she spontaneously stood up and said goodbye.

Mama Wu personally sent her to the door, Yiyou smiled brightly: "Today's matter is thanks to shopkeeper Wu and Mama Wu."

"Madam's blue eyes are due to the girl's luck."

"According to my mother's auspicious words, everyone in the county does not know that my mother is a person who benefits from my wife's side. I will ask my mother to speak more kindly in the future."

Seeing that Madam loves this girl, Madam Wu still has the cold attitude before, so she tactfully agreed.

"Go slow, girl."

Coming out of the county government office, Yiyou followed the two of them, holding the contract of selling their lives in their hands.With two thin sheets of paper in hand, she is the master of these two.

Mama Wu walked back and asked the servant girl to prepare the meal, and she went to talk to Zhang Shi herself.

"The old slave has served Madam for many years, and it is rare to see such a transparent girl. She is handsome and has no temper. Madam is so close to her today, and when she faces the servants again, she is still calm and shows no arrogance .”

"Hey, it would be great if the two sisters were swapped. Don't talk about that temper, just because of that face, if you give it to a nobleman, you have the right to pave the way for my son."

Mrs. Zhang felt deeply that the officialdom in Dayue was still dominated by men.And to please Shangfeng, the best thing is to send a beautiful concubine.Her husband is no good, she always has to think about her children.

"That girl has a strong temper, and I'm afraid she will make revenge if she sends her up."

Chen Xiancheng just came in, and when he heard this remark, he immediately felt angry with the enemy: "Ma'am, the Shen family's mother and daughter are not pleasing to the eye, and the master also thinks that the two are too annoying, why don't you find some yamen servants and take over her stall."

It was flattering words, but it was very uncomfortable to Zhang's ears: "That's the family that makes wedding cakes for Sister Qiao, master still want to touch?"

The county magistrate's desire for revenge was immediately extinguished, and the two of them got his wife's favor, so he had better not provoke them.

Yiyou doesn't know what calculations the three of them have. In her previous life, although she calculated every step of the way, none of the high-ranking people is a human being.The county government is secretive, how can a little maid like her know it at will.

At this moment, she was paying attention to a pair of maids and women behind her. After leaving the county office, the two of them had sullen faces, and their posture was taller than Mama Wu's.

"You two feel that my small temple has wronged two big Buddhas."

The little maid looked only seven or eight years old, and all her thoughts were written on her face: "We stayed in the county government well, why should we be called out by you."

The old mother was really thoughtful, she smiled and said repeatedly that she didn't dare.

"It's not that my mother has never served as a maidservant before. The servants' work is nothing more than that. The county government also has someone who dumps Yexiang and picks up excrement. Since the two of you have been kicked out by your wife, do you think you are some right-hand man?"

The old mother's face changed: "I dare not."

Yiyou asked sharply: "Since you dare not, why do you look like a late lady?"

Captured by her aura, the old mother shuddered: "This old servant knows his mistake."

Pulling the deed of prostitution in her hand, she straightened her body: "Have you seen this thing? In the future, the life and death of both of you will be in my hands, and the officials must not interfere."

The little girl's eyes turned red: "Woo... I dare not."

"I'm not the one who yells, beats, and kills. Mama Wu must have told you two that my family sells buns. The work is not heavy, and there is white flour and meat to eat."

Flour and meat are rare things. Since the two were sold as slaves, they must not be wealthy people. Their eyes lit up when they heard this.

Yiyou turned around and raised the corners of her lips, and gave a sweet date with a stick, she has long been familiar with this.

"Okay, here we come."

There is a secluded courtyard at the corner, with ivy climbing on the wall, and a gust of wind blows, enveloping the smell of meat.

"Good luck to you, tonight my mother cooked braised pork, go in quickly."

Hearing the creaking sound outside the door, Mrs. Li came out to greet her daughter, but was startled by the two behind her.

"Mother, these are the two maids that the county magistrate gave me to help make buns and wedding cakes for the young lady's wedding."

"Madam is really a kind person."

Mrs. Li has lived to thirty and has never been served by servants, so she is quite embarrassed at this moment.She has a pure and kind nature, and treats them unconsciously with politeness.

Yiyou is helpless, Diao Nu is mostly used to soft customers like mother.In desperation, her rigid and soft attitude had to harden again. The mother and daughter sang the red face and the other sang the bad face, and they cooperated seamlessly invisibly.

A few people entered the kitchen, and after a simple chat, she set out the details of the two of them.The old mother was sold off by her husband's family after ten years of marriage without pregnancy.The little maid came from a barren county adjacent to Yunzhou. Her mother gave birth to four daughters in succession. The fifth child was a boy and was weak, so she sold this daughter to her brother for treatment.

"Mother said the peaches were ripe on the old tree outside the house on the day I was born, so she called me Taozi."

Although the little girl looks small, she is actually only two years younger than Yiyou.The old mother is 26 years old and looks old, but it is actually caused by the ruthless overwork of her husband's family.

The tragic situation of the two caused Li's eyes to turn red. Immediately, she held the old mother's rough hand: "Both belong to poor daughters. From now on, Liu Ma will be my younger sister. If my elder sister has a bite to eat, she will never be short of you."

Changsheng also came out of the fear of facing strangers, and stared at the little maid curiously.

Yiyou looked softer: "You look really good in this green dress, so let's call you Bi Tao."

"Bitao, that sounds good!"

The little maid was overjoyed, and Mother Liu was also moved by Li Shi.In just this moment, the two actually had a sense of belonging to this family.

After talking about this conversation, the braised pork is completely cooked.After all, Yiyou's heart is not so hard, she took the initiative to call out: "Our family doesn't have so many rules, you two come up and eat together."

Yiyou's culinary skills are all passed down from Li Shi, and now Li Shi cooks in person, the braised pork is charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and the taste is extraordinary.

Changsheng's mouth was full of sauces. Mama Liu and Bi Tao used this delicacy for the first time in many years. They thought about the difference between the master and the servant and did not dare to add more. They chewed every bite slowly, wishing to swallow their tongues .

"As long as everyone makes steamed stuffed buns well, they will earn more money and have meat every day."

The real stimulation from the taste buds is more effective than [-] empty words.The two of them were already touched by the kindness of their master, and now they have such a good meal, and even better ones in the future, the last bit of rebellious feeling in their hearts naturally disappeared quickly.

After a meal, the two of them were already devoted to this family.Mother Liu took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Yiyou walked out of the kitchen to scan around the courtyard to find a suitable place for her.

In the future, her body will finally be more relaxed, but there are still many things to do.Thinking together in her heart, she gradually got an idea.

Today, Shen Fuhai has been arrested, step by step, no matter how difficult it is, it will come to fruition.
