Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2216 Invitation

  The group of people returned with a full load. It was really full. They could not finish the fish they caught, so they were distributed to each yard. Even Master You got two fishes.

As soon as he returned to the yard, the steward Li led the three women to come up to see him, "Master, these are the cooks and helpers I have invited. They will stay in the yard and wait on them in the future. The young ladies can call them whatever they want. ."

  Bai Shan still carried the wooden barrel in his hand. Hearing this, he put down the wooden barrel and the sleeves he rolled up. He turned his head and glanced at the three of them.

The cook is the oldest of the three. She looks like she is in her thirties. She has a cloth wrapped around her head, and her clothes are washed white. She has also applied several patches. It seems that she is from the Central Plains. Somewhat rough, she was standing with her head slightly lowered, and she felt her eyes fall on her, and she could not help but clenched her hands nervously.

  Bai Shan asked: "What dishes will you make?"

   Guan Shi stepped aside, and didn't mean to speak for her, obviously he wanted her to answer.

  The chef couldn’t help but squeezed her fingers nervously, but she was very fluent and replied after a gift: “I can cook Shu dishes. I have stayed near Gyeonggi for a few years, so I can also get some Beijing dishes.”

  Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li in charge.

  Man Bao, who was dispatching the fish, heard it, and couldn’t help but uttered a "Hey". He looked back at Guanshi Li and smiled: "Guanshi Li specially found it for us?"

Guan Shi Li said with a smile: "Mr. Kan and the young ladies don’t have very good appetites, so I wondered if the food here is not to the taste, so I went out for a circle today and happened to see Sister-in-law He. She spoke with a little accent. The little one felt cordial when she heard it, and when she asked, she realized that she was from the Shu area, and she knew how to cook again, so the little one asked her on her own terms."

  He said: "The masters have to stay here for a period of time. They can't always eat inn and restaurants. The dishes here are just the same. Although the dishes will be different from each other, they are not different."

  He said with a distressed look: "This is too wrong for the young masters and young ladies. The little ones have lost weight in the past few days."

  I heard that there are fish to eat, so Nie Canjun, who was swaying over to pick up the fish, couldn’t help but look at Zhou Man and Bai Shan. After looking back and forth for a few times, they couldn’t see where they had lost weight.

  And do they have a bad appetite?

  I had dinner with them last night, probably because they hadn’t eaten rice for a long time. Both of them ate two big bowls of rice last night, as much as he did!

  No, they ate fruits and snacks less than half an hour after the meal!

  Nie Junjun twitched his mouth, looked away, and asked Bai Erlang, "Are you going to send us fish?"

   Bai Erlang regained his senses, pointed at the fish in the barrel generously and said, "You can pick two of them."

  Man Bao suddenly remembered something, and asked the cook, "Do you know how to make tofu? I suddenly want to eat tofu fish head."

  Mr. Zhuang, who has been silent for a long time, nodded suddenly and said, "This is good."

  Sister-in-law He showed bitterness on her face, she squeezed her fingers and said, "I can make tofu fish head, but I can't make tofu."

  Man Bao said happily: “If you don’t know how to buy it, do you have to be able to grow rice if you know how to cook?”

Man Baole paused in the middle, tilted his head and looked at Bai Shan incredulously, "No way, there is no tofu here?"

  Bai Shan carefully recalled the place he walked yesterday, "It seems that there is no?"

  Sister-in-law He said: "No, people here don't even grow beans, so there is no tofu."

  She said: "Beans are for horses."

  Man Bao thought for a while, and said unsurely: "I think I should be."

After talking, she looked at Zhou Liru with a little bit of confidence. Fangzi knew it. The first time Zhou Dasao made tofu was Manbao’s advice, but it was her own wife. She said the last sentence and the other party could understand the next sentence. It's different when you change to others.

   Zhou Liru scratched his head and said with certainty: "If there is brine, I will order tofu."

  In the two years that my sister-in-law went to Yizhou, she and her two sisters helped to make all the tofu at home, not to mention that the second sister also went out and the eldest sister got married. Basically, she followed the eldest mother, but...

   "But I can't guarantee the taste of it."

  Because making tofu is also a craft, her mother did not learn very well at the time, and then she thought about letting her learn it well, and marriage is also a craft in the future. So she tried to order two pots of tofu. In the end, the tofu was finished, but in the end they all stayed at home to eat. In addition, she gave a lot to her uncle's house.

  Although everyone did not say anything, Zhou Liru knew that the tofu she ordered was not very good.

  But...what about him, anyway, you can eat it in the end. Didn’t the two pots of tofu be eaten up at home in the end?

  She knows how to make brine.

  Man Bao turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang: “Sir, it’s late tonight, at most I can only make brine, and it’s the earliest to eat tofu fish head tomorrow.”

  Mr. Zhuang did not pick, "Okay, then tomorrow."

  Sister-in-law He knew that she could stay there. She was relieved and immediately rolled up her sleeves and took the barrel, and asked humbly: "What kind of food do you want to eat, Mr. and Ms.?"

  Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said: "Eat some vegetarian food, and stir-fry some vegetarian dishes."

  Recently, eating either meat or dry food, his stomach can't stand it a bit.

  The cook lady responded.

  Man Bao waved his hand and said: "I do whatever, I love to eat, you can watch and make it, by the way, braised rice, I still have rice tonight."

  Several Shirajiro nodded their heads, "Yes, simmering rice."

  Bai Shan discussed with Guan Li, “When you get to Shazhou, remember to buy some rice noodles.”

   Manager Li responded, and then introduced the other two people to them, “This is to help the kitchen and clean the yard. The masters can also give them whatever they have to wash.”

  After all, there are also Miss Man and Miss Liru, but it is more convenient to have two maids.

The two are not young. They are in their twenties, with high noses and deep eyes. They should be locals. They can speak simple Chinese. The clothes on their bodies are a little better than those of Sister He, but they are also washed white and their hands and feet are fair. Neat, Bai Shan left them behind and asked them to clean the yard first. Just now they made a mess when they were dividing the fish.

  Nie Junjun stood aside and watched the whole process. After speechless, he turned to ask Man Bao, "What are you going to do during this time, Lord Zhou?"

  Twenty days, the time is not short, you can't sleep all the time, right?

  Man Bao smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will go fishing, but I still want to go to the Gobi to see it."

  Nie joined the army and asked enthusiastically: "What are you looking at?"

   "Look at the scenery," Man Bao said, "I heard that there will be some plants growing in the Gobi, which are not in the Central Plains. I will go and take a look."

  The interest on Nie Junjun's face was put away, and he felt that he had asked for nothing.

  After thinking for a while, he asked, "Don't Lord Zhou visit the mayor of the town?"

  Man Bao shook his head: "He is not a court appointee, and I am not here on business. I will be my guest, but if you want to join the army, go."

  　See you at six in the afternoon
