Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 25 Visit
"Excuse me, is this Xu Youtian's house?" Zhaodi was adding firewood to the stove when she heard a man standing outside the fence asking.

She saw a carriage parked behind the man, and there was a coachman standing there, but she had never seen her before. She turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Mother, someone is coming outside, looking for dad."

"Who are you?" Xu's mother came out, but she didn't recognize her when she saw her.He was very hesitant to invite someone to sit in. It would be a mess at home, and his father was not there.

"Auntie, I'm Yumanlou's buddy." Acheng didn't want people to know the identity of the young master, so he just made up one.

"Mother, please come in and sit down." Xu Ru came out of the kitchen and saw that it was Yumanlou, thinking that it should be a business matter.

Ling Ruofeng got down from the carriage and walked into the yard. It was his first time in the country, and he was curious to see the peanuts drying in the yard and the things cooked in the big pot in the yard. of what.

"Master, if you want to eat from this pot, you have to wait for a while. Please sit inside, the sun is shining outside." A clear and beautiful voice stopped him from lifting the pot lid.

Ling Ruofeng raised his eyes, and saw a woman standing under the eaves with almond eyes and a smile, her hair was wrapped in blue floral cloth, she was wearing a sky blue floral jacket on her upper body, and dark blue pants on her lower body. Wrapped cloth strips firmly around the ankles, it looks very neat, the sleeves are rolled up high, revealing a slender arm, with some white flour on the hands, although the clothes are simple, it is difficult for the cloth to wear. She concealed her cunning and intelligent temperament.

"It's you? Huh!" Ling Ruofeng took a closer look. Isn't this girl the one who quarreled with him on the street a few days ago? Thinking of this, he felt ashamed.

Last time, because sister Qin gave away the lotus cake he bought for her, she was in a bad mood, so she vented to the beggar, and blamed Hong Xing, saying that sister Qin had said a few words to the beggar in front of him , and held his hand.

He actually wanted to explain, to let her know that he was not the kind of bullying person, especially when he looked at her with teasing eyes, but who was she, so there was nothing to explain.Annoyed secretly in my heart, I hurried into the room, found a bench and made it.

"Sister Zhang, fourth girl." At this time, the third aunt entered the yard through the gate and brought a basket of eggs over.Followed by Xu Hu.

"Big sister, you came just in time. I wanted to ask you to help me, and the tiger came too. Hey, I'm in a mess. You sit by yourself." After speaking, he dragged the third aunt into the kitchen.

It was the first time Xu Ru saw this son of the third aunt's family. He was strong and tall, and he was about the same age as Zhaodi, and he didn't know what he ate to grow up.

As soon as he entered the yard, he found an ax and went to the side to chop firewood. He was skillful and fast, and then neatly stacked the chopped wood on the side of the pot in the yard, watching Zhaodi hehe smile.

She smiled and let him go.

Xu Ru went to wash her hands, and with the help of her third aunt, she could sit down and rest in peace.The ingredients for fried peanuts have been adjusted, and Yinhua has learned the whole process. The first pot has just been fried, and two more times are enough.

"Master Ling is here today for the business of the restaurant?" Xu Ru brought up a plate of multi-flavored peanut beans and placed them on the small table in front of Ling Ruofeng.

"Of course, we ordered so many goods, of course we have to see if you can finish them on time." Ling Ruofeng sat on the stool seriously and coughed.

"This is the five-spice peanut beans I mentioned yesterday. You can try it. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can correct it at any time." Xu Ru didn't care about what happened to him, since it was her little one. Boss, please treat me well.

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Xu Ru smiled and said,
"You take it easy, I have something to do in the kitchen, so I'm sorry."

After Xu Ru left.

"Ah Cheng, come on, try it too. It turns out that peanut beans can still be made in this way. It's so delicious, um, it's not bad." He has eaten too many delicacies since he was a child, and Sun Yuchu comes to the house from time to time to make some snacks. But this is the first time I have tasted such a unique taste.

Xu Ru walked into the yard and saw that Zhaodi was turning over peanuts with a big shovel, the smell of food was wafting all over the yard, people passing by outside the yard stopped and looked at the yard from time to time.She took one and tasted it. The peanut kernels had begun to soften, but not to the point of softness. The water in the pot was gurgling.

Xu Hu stood in front of Zhaodi and watched, and when he saw Xu Ru came out, he said:
"Fourth sister, you see, I want to help Zhaodi, but she won't let me, so I just use a shovel, who wouldn't know that." His bushy eyebrows were all wrinkled together.

"Hmph, Fourth Sister gave it to me. Of course I have to do it myself, so I don't need your help, and you don't know how to do it! Just sit there and light the fire." Zhao Di pushed Xu Hu.

"Third sister, if you are too busy, ask brother Huzi to help you more. Hehe, you can anneal after another half an hour of cooking. Cover the pot with the lid and let it simmer for a while. You should try it yourself. From now on, the boiled peanuts will be delicious You are responsible." This move has a strong sense of responsibility.

But seeing her caring so much, I felt that everything was worth it.With everyone working together, nothing is impossible.

"Fourth sister, don't worry, I remember everything." Zhaodi wiped the sweat from her forehead. Like Xu Ru, she also wrapped her hair with a scarf and rolled her sleeves up, but after all, she was only 14 years old and It's girls who feel tired after working for a while.

Xu Ru went to the kitchen and brought Zhaodi a bowl of hot water. She really felt sorry for her relatives.

The third aunt was helping to light the fire in the kitchen, and Ah Bao didn’t go out to play anymore, so he leaned in front of Yinhua to watch her fried peanut beans, secretly grabbed a few peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, trying not to make a sound while eating, covering his mouth tightly Tightly, Xu's mother is responsible for wrapping the peanuts in flour.

She asked Ah Bao to take a plate and put some boiled peanuts in the yard, and serve them to the guests in the house. , I am still quite timid, I want Abao to get in touch with Ling Ruofeng more.

"Si girl, you are not easy. You can do business with Yumanlou." The third aunt gave Xu Ru a thumbs up.

"I'm also opportunistic. People in the city just eat something new. There are several variations, and the guests find it novel. If the business starts in the future, you should help me a lot, third aunt. Your eggs will be sold directly in the future." Give it to my family." Xu Ru said as she found out the meat she bought yesterday, and soaked two more bowls of rice.The young master of the Ling family should have lunch here. Fortunately, he bought a few catties of meat yesterday.
