The newly promoted scholar ladies are all the same. When the men in the family go on official business, they always come together. The Yan family comes the most often. They all know that the second scholar Yan is highly valued by the palace. What's more important is that the Yan family also has a relationship with the chief manager of the palace.
Keep kissing.
Whether this Yongning City is big or not, the Wang Gonggong and the Yan family did not deliberately hide it, so it is only a matter of time before people find out about this relationship.
Some people say mean things and some look down upon them, but ask yourself, who doesn’t envy?!
In the realm of Guanzhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The King of England is their sky. The chief steward of the Prince of England's palace, the people close to the prince, and the eunuchs with high grades. This kind of relationship... I recognize this kind of relationship.
That’s great!
For scholars, the reputation may be slightly flawed, but the benefits are great!
Look at Yan Er, regardless of whether he is ranked first or not, everyone is the same talented person on the same list. He can work in the palace as an errand and be personally named by the prince to go to Xizhou with his son.
An insider also broke the news that before he was selected as a scholar, he was eating from the palace, which made everyone envious!!
Besides, what a beautiful thing he did. He made his son and the prince recognized as relatives, and established a relationship. He also eliminated several famous people in the family. What a chicken thief, what a chicken thief!
All in all, the ladies who came to Yan's house felt very complicated.
That is Li Xuemei, a veteran teacher for more than 20 years. The parents of these students, no, the relatives of the students have a good idea of what they are thinking. They just get some information from her.
Not wanting everyone to say the same thing over and over again, Li Xuemei made a rule of having a small gathering every five days.
They are all people who have just achieved class promotion, and their muddy legs have not been pulled out from the ground. They can't behave like ladies from rich families having leisurely tea. Li Xuemei doesn't have time to create those fake scenes where talented ladies gather together.
The main theme is pragmatism.
Last time and the last time, everyone worked together to thaw the frozen soil and mix the cinders and briquettes. Li Xuemei was the main one with her mouth, and the other ladies worked hard, and everyone shared the briquettes equally.
Before that, they kneaded skins together and squeezed goat's milk... During the coldest weather, they made tofu all day long. The fire in the stove never went out, the pulp and hot water kept flowing, and they sold the rest.
The Yan family left most of the tofu frozen, and the ladies from each family took some back.
Today’s schedule is to make shoes. Shoes are the most expensive item at any time of the year.
Grandma Rong made new shoes for their family, with wool stuffing inside and a whole piece of leather sewn on the outside.
They cost a bit of material, but they can't keep you warm. Another advantage of these shoes is that when the snow melts, the ground will be covered with mud, and it's easier to take care of them if they are covered in leather.
If you can't finish making shoes in a day or two, just work on them slowly. By the time you're done, it's almost time to put them on your feet.
"Are you leaving yet?" Li Xuemei asked.
Yan Yu just smiled and said nothing.
Li Xuemei knew it.
This is still going!
She took out a few piles of clothes from the kang cabinet.
"Put all your old clothes at home and take them out and wash them. Your grandma and Lady Rong made these new ones for you. Put them on when you leave."
"And these are for your father."
"If you go to Huju, talk to your eldest sister. She has made some for your uncle. Our car is not at home, so my mother doesn't trust her to deliver it."
Yan Yu responded obediently and turned to look at Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian reacted and said with a smile: "Your master doesn't need it. He wears official uniforms all day long, and even if he makes them, they just sit there and eat dust. Two regular uniforms are enough."
Yan Yu looked at her mother carefully, swallowed her saliva and said: "Mom, you don't actually have to do so much for me. I'm growing taller now, and I'll be smaller after wearing it all winter. Besides, what, I'm wearing new clothes outside."
It’s too eye-catching…”
Li Xuemei stared at her.
This damn girl.
If you don't do bad things, why should you worry about this?
"You forgot your sister, you put on your clothes first and leave the small ones for her," Li Xuemei said.
Yan Yu nodded hurriedly: "That's right, leave it to Xiao Ya'er to wear, so I have to wear it more carefully."
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Li Xuemei looked at her daughter, feeling that her round little face seemed a little thinner, feeling distressed, and her voice softened unconsciously.
"Dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage! Pickled cabbage and mutton soup! Braised white meat! Dip with pickles!" Yan Yu opened her mouth and drooled uncontrollably.
Li Xuemei laughed.
Not to mention the first two, the braised white meat should be dipped in garlic sauce, and the pickles should be dipped in miso, both of which are heavy.
Her daughter's mouth was tasteless and she was greedy.
…
When it was time for dinner, Yan Yu not only waited for the items she ordered, but also the shiny skin jelly and freshly fried peanuts!
Li Xuemei scooped up a large spoonful of minced garlic, poured soy sauce on it, and handed it to her.
Yan Qianchu smiled and put the chopsticks into the hands of his sister, whose eyes were glued to the Kang table.
Yan Yu raised her head and looked at Mrs. Tian eagerly.
Mrs. Tian looked at her lovingly and moved her chopsticks first.
Yan Yu then picked up the chopsticks and swept the plates on the table with an unrivaled momentum.
Let’s start with a skin jelly, dip it heavily in garlic sauce, turn it over, and it will be covered all over your body. You swallow it in one gulp, chew it twice symbolically, and then it slides down your throat.
Wow!
Cold!
Garlic is refreshing!
Appetizing!
Then there are the dumplings that she has longed for. The sourness of the sauerkraut and the aroma of the meat are perfectly combined to relieve both greasiness and cravings!
The half-fat and half-lean pork has been processed, and it has moved away from the low-level taste and moved towards a higher level. The thickness of the meat slices is moderate, and when it is wrapped in garlic sauce, it is delicious!
The taste buds are constantly washed.
A few peanuts were put into the mouth in every possible way.
The more you chew, the better it tastes! The more you chew, the better it tastes!
Yan Yu hummed with satisfaction!
When I got tired of the meat, I picked up a radish stick and poked it into the miso.
Farmhouse miso smells bad and tastes delicious.
Yan Yu will eat it.
Take a sip of pickled cabbage soup, drink the shredded pickled cabbage without stopping, and then pick up the mutton in the pickled cabbage soup with two chopsticks.
Woohoo!
So happy!
…
Yan Laoer bought two sheep.
Cut them all into pieces to make mutton soup.
Mr. Xue Qi ate without raising his head or eyes. His mouth was bulging from beginning to end. The only words he uttered were two words: "It smells good! It smells good! It tastes good!"
Yan Laoer still feels a little regretful.
"It would be great if there were sauerkraut. Mutton and sauerkraut are a perfect match. The taste is so delicious! My cousin, please wait for us when we get home. Try our own sauerkraut. I'm not exaggerating, but it's delicious.
!”
Feng Danian held the pancake with his left hand and placed meat on top with his right hand. He was too embarrassed to put it all in. There was a little space between each piece of mutton.
Yan Laoer came over and quickly gave him a few more chopsticks.
Warmly greeting: "Cousin, don't be polite to me. Our family raises a lot of cattle and sheep. Don't think of these as purchased, just think of them as your own, and eat them openly!"
He pointed at Qi Si, who was hovering around his cousin, and said: "The Qi family also raises a lot of meat. When we have enough mutton, let's eat beef, hehe!"
Mr. Xue Qi almost choked.
Good guy, this is for Yan Erkuang!
Are you all going to eat beef?
Not to mention, the cattle outside the customs are not under the control of the yamen, and they can really be killed and eaten for meat!
Cousin Feng Da was shocked.
What does raising a lot mean? How much does raising a lot mean?!
He knew that the Yan family had some wealth, otherwise they wouldn't be able to support three scholars.
