After Su Jian took care of the things in the fields, she rushed back to the general's mansion. Since she had agreed to Qi Mo, she couldn't break her promise. Cooking a table of good dishes would not only earn money, but she could also have a good meal herself.
"Madam, you are finally back."
Su Jian had just returned home when Xiong Hong came to greet her. She was just about to tease Xiong Hong, but didn't want to see Xiong Hong's anxious face: "What's wrong?"
This girl.
She rarely saw her in a hurry.
Xionghong looked around, saluted Su Jian, and said in a low voice: "Madam, the county magistrate is here. He is now in the front hall, and Xu Momo and Xiong Xiazi are entertaining you."
Su Jian's eyes flashed: "What is he here for?"
"Back to Madam, the county magistrate has brought some government servants to help us repair the roof." Xiong Hong said.
Su Jian paused for a moment, then nodded to express her understanding: "Have you bought all the ingredients I asked you to buy today?"
"I bought it. It's in the small kitchen."
"Okay, let's go cook." After Su Jian finished speaking, she walked towards her yard.
Xiong Hong looked at Su Jian in surprise. Her wife ignored the county magistrate and went back to the courtyard directly?
Su Jian really didn't want to pay attention to the county magistrate. She was still bitter about the fact that the county magistrate sent people to her house to ask for food. Su Jian had never been a generous person. The county magistrate made her unhappy for two days in a row. She She didn't want to make him happy. Moreover, from the moment she refused the magistrate's request, there was a gap between her and the magistrate. They were insincere and submissive when they met... Thinking about that scene makes people uncomfortable.
Su Jian thought carefully and after weighing it, she determined that meeting the county magistrate would be of no benefit and would only affect her mood. She immediately made a decision in her heart: "When he comes, how will Xu Momo answer my whereabouts?"
Xionghong thought that Su Jian really didn't care about the county magistrate's affairs. Seeing that Su Jian finally asked about it, he quickly said: "Xu Momo said that Madam is busy farming in Zhuangzi."
After Xiong Hong finished speaking, he carefully observed Su Jian's face and saw that she had no expression, so he continued: "The magistrate asked Madam if she would go to the ground in person?
Xu Momo replied that there were many people in the General's Mansion, but there was no income. Usually it was a problem to have enough food. Now that Madam is here, although there is a bumper harvest of food, it was all grown by Madam with her hard work and hard work. .
Madam is delicate and expensive, so she actually doesn’t want to do it herself, but the men, women, and children in this general’s mansion are all burdens. Madam is kind-hearted, and she can’t bear to see the general’s mansion in such a state of decline, nor can she bear that everyone is hungry. So…”
When Su Jian heard this, he put down the meat in his hand. Xu Momo was indeed a smart man. On the surface, his words sounded like he was answering the county magistrate's question honestly, but in fact, he told the situation of the general's mansion and also said The general's wife was in trouble. Xu Momo was once again explaining the reason for her refusal of food.
"So what?"
"So after that, Xu Momo didn't say anything and just cried silently. When Blind Xiong saw him, he also cried. But Blind Xiong cried very loudly and tragically." Xiong Hong said.
Su Jian's brows jumped: "Blind Xiong is crying too?" Is he just crying like this?
"Yes." Xiong Hong thought of Blind Xiong crying and felt disgusted in his heart. However, he also thought of Blind Xiong's subsequent actions and felt comfortable in his heart: "Blind Xiong cried and hugged the leg where the county magistrate was beating him, and told him about these years. It's not easy in the General's Mansion, isn't it... The county magistrate was so soft-hearted that he even rewarded Blind Man Xiong with two taels of silver."
Su Jian raised her eyebrows and decided to help Xiong Xiong make some meat while cooking. He deserves a commendation: "Well, go and ask someone to make a fire for me. You go to Xu Momo's place and say that I am on Zhuangzi today." I was very busy, and when I came back I was exhausted and had already fallen asleep.”
Xiong Hong accepted the order, but secretly admired in her heart. She didn't mention the county magistrate's intention to see Su Jian, but Su Jian actually guessed it. Also, her wife has always been decisive and smart: "Yes."
Su Jian ignored Xiong Hong, looked at the ingredients intently, and started preparing side dishes. For dessert, Tremella and lotus seed soup can be arranged, a holy dish for beauty; for dinner, steamed tofu with pork foam, braised lion's head, and Peanuts mixed with spinach, a mushroom and pork slices soup, and a stir-fried green vegetable, it looks very rich no matter how you look at it.
Su Jian opened the rice vat and prepared to steam a few bowls of rice first, but the rice was almost bottomed out, and she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Xiong Hong to buy rice today.
"It's okay. We will grow our own rice in the future and we can eat as much as we want." Su Jian actually has her own selfish motives for growing rice. Rice in this world is very expensive, but she is used to eating rice as a staple food. Without rice In her lower abdomen, she always felt as if she hadn't eaten. She just spent money on shopping. If she had more money, she wouldn't care, but... she has too many places to spend money now!
However, it was different when Qi Mo offered to pay for food. It was equivalent to covering all her food and Qi Mo's expenses, and she could still earn extra money.
Qi Mo, who had just finished school, sneezed. He didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition in his heart. But in an instant, he felt that it was impossible. He could eat delicious food tonight, how could it be bad? A premonition?
"Zhan Lei, why are you running so fast?"
Zhan Lei had just gained enough energy and wanted to run past Qi Mo quickly without being discovered by him, but he was still stopped. He turned around and looked at Qi Mo, his face full of struggle and unhappiness.
"Bad boy!" Qi Mo walked up to Zhan Lei and unceremoniously reached out and knocked Zhan Lei on the head: "Your sister-in-law invited me today, and I didn't go because of you."
Qi Mo protected his head and looked at Qi Mo aggrievedly. Don't think that because he is small, he doesn't know anything. When did Qi Mo go to his sister-in-law's yard, it was really because of him: "Sister-in-law said you can't hit someone on the head." Become stupid."
"..."
"If I become stupid and my sister-in-law doesn't like me anymore, I will watch you cry every day." After Zhan Lei finished speaking, he sniffed. Although he said this, he didn't want to shed tears in front of Qi Mo. He wanted to shed tears. He also wants to fall in front of his sister-in-law, who will feel sorry for him.
"..." Qi Moyou deepened his eyes and took a deep look at Zhan Lei. This kid pretended to be stubborn, which made him distracted. So much so that he was very quiet on the way to Su Jian's yard.
but!
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qi Mo became restless!
Qi Mo sniffed, and then sniffed harder. The scent made him immediately forget his own reserve and ran directly into the kitchen. When he saw that the kitchen table was full of dishes, regardless of the When both the appearance and fragrance make people salivate...
Unable to control himself, Qi Mo picked up the chopsticks. Just when he was about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up a lion's head, his wrist was grabbed.
It’s the last day of the month, thank you all for your support in getting me on the list, I hope I can hold on to it on the last day, haha
