Chapter 53 Difficult Things
Seeing what the other party said, He Shunzi responded with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm sure. If you really can take on this job, you must do it beautifully. Not to mention, Guanshi Fu and a few daily It’s all very hard work. Apart from that, there are a lot of chickens raised in this house, and the eggs and chickens can still be taken care of.”
I don’t know if they are really raised in this house, but. Putting the words here, it makes people feel comfortable.
The boy liked He Shunzi very much, who was smart and good at doing things. He smiled and patted his shoulder, "But I'm just waiting. I won't say anything to you now. I have to wait and see." Send it to Butler Fu. The old lady’s carriage will arrive in the evening. If you are late, you will have no chance.”
“Then you should be busy first”
He Shunzi bowed and waited until the corner door was closed before he straightened up and walked home.
I hope this rice dumpling can be of great help to me today. If I can continue this life, I will definitely thank Madam Xia!
The boy who took the rice dumplings brought by He Shunzi left one for himself, then went to find the Fu steward and explained He Shunzi's visit.
Guanshi Fu laughed when he heard this, "This He Shunzi is quite smart and good at doing things."
"Yes, I think so too." The boy was all smiles. , "Uncle Fu didn't think that the people who delivered vegetables to us were dull and didn't know how to do things. Didn't it happen that a clever one came here? Why don't Uncle Fu give it a try?"
"Yes." Manager Fu nodded, "When the old lady comes and settles down, I will talk about this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, a young man hurried over, "Uncle Fu, Someone came to report that the carriage of the old lady and her party was already five miles away. Mother Gui, who was accompanying them, told them to get ready to greet the old lady. "
"Hurry, hurry!" Manager Fu. His expression suddenly became tense, and he hurriedly called a few people over, "Hurry up and open the door, tell everyone to go to the door to greet you, and prepare the sedan chair! Then call a few smart people to wait at the door to guard against the old lady. I want something nearby.”
The reason why Guanshi Fu is so nervous is because this is the first time someone has come to live in this house since it was built.
Moreover, this old lady was the previous head of the He family. Because she is old and in poor health, and she feels that there are too many people at home and there is no quiet time, she came here to recuperate this time. I heard that the slaves were busy The soldiers took no less than fifty or sixty people with them, and more than ten cartloads of belongings.
Even though Guanshi Fu had never been in contact with such an old lady, he still guessed that she was probably full of majesty but limited in gentleness.
Guanshi Fu didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. There was a layer of fine sweat on his nervous forehead, and even his underwear was soaked through and clinging to his body.
Seeing that Butler Fu was so busy, the boy did not dare to make any more noises and disturb him. He just put the meat dumplings in the small kitchen, preparing to heat them up in the evening and then deliver them to Butler Fu.
——
Having the experience of handling bamboo last time, Xia Mingyue and the others are now familiar with the task this time. They sawed and chopped all ten bamboos in about the same time as last time. .
Washing, soaking glutinous rice, marinating meat, grinding bean paste, cutting candied dates...
At noon on the second day, Xia Mingyue and Zhao Dahu went to deliver these bamboo tube rice dumplings, as well as the daily pancakes and wraps. Liangpi.
There were a lot of things, and the road from West Street to the County School in Dongcheng District was not close, so Xia Mingyue borrowed a flatbed truck and transported them there in one trip.
Arrived at the door, the gatekeeper Lao Li Tou trotted out, "Mrs. What happened?”
"Ms. Xia, don't ask questions yet. Just push the car to the corner over there. Wait until I give a signal to Ms. Xia later, and Ms. Xia will come over again."
Old Li Tou helped while talking. As Xia Mingyue pushed the car over, she even warned, "Remember, wait until I sign Xia Niang If you don't make a gesture when you come here again, Madam Xia must not show her head. Remember, remember." Seeing that Old Li Tou said it seriously, Xia Mingyue did not dare to neglect, "Okay, I will note it down. ”
Then he took Zhao Dahu and waited obediently at the corner.
But out of curiosity, Xia Mingyue still poked her head in from time to time to see what was going on.
The time soon reached noon, but no students went out at the gate of the county school today. The gate was still closed. After another cup of tea, the gate of the county school opened, and a few people who looked like masters were opened. , walked out of the gate. Dai Changnian and Shen Yongan walked side by side.
When he saw that there was no one else at the door, Dai Changnian smiled and nodded, "It seems that the admonishment given to the students yesterday had some effect."
Finally, I no longer think about all those messy things to eat.
"Yes." Shen Yongan nodded, looked around, and sighed slightly.
I probably won’t be able to eat such delicious rice dumplings anymore.
Because he couldn't forget the taste of the rice dumplings he had eaten that day, he took a careful stroll on the street after school yesterday and even bought a lot of rice dumplings.
But nowhere else the rice dumplings were as delicious as the ones I ate that day.
And he couldn't ask Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang, so he could only think secretly in his heart that when they went to get more such rice dumplings, he would take the opportunity to "ask" for a few.
Now...
No matter what, after all, I have no chance with that rice dumpling.
Shen Yongan felt sad and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Master Shen has always looked sad these past two days, as if he has a lot of trouble on his mind, but what difficulties have he encountered?" Dai Changnian asked with concern.
“It’s nothing difficult, which worries Mr. Dave.” Shen Yong’an slightly cupped his hands, “Maybe it’s because the weather is getting hotter and the weather is getting hotter, which makes people feel less energetic. "
"It would be better for Master Shen to go see the doctor earlier," Dai Changnian reminded.
Master Shen has been conscientious and diligent since he took up his post in the county school. Dai Changnian felt that his physical discomfort was mostly due to overwork.
"Go and take a look if you have time." Shen Yongan agreed smoothly.
Just mentioning the matter of seeing a doctor...
Shen Yongan clenched his empty sleeves and stopped, "I was walking in a hurry just now, and I actually left my money bag behind. Mrs. Lao Dai is waiting in the room for a while. I'll be back soon."
"It doesn't matter." Dai Changnian waved, "I'll just pay for Mrs. Shen."
"Since we've agreed that I'm going to invite Dave to tea, we can't let him spend any money. I'll be back soon, and Dave can wait for me at the teahouse for a while."
After that, without waiting for Dai Changnian to speak, Shen Yongan bowed his hands and turned back.
At this time, at the gate of the county school, Lao Li saw that several teachers had already walked away, and when they were so far away that they could no longer be seen, he called Xia Mingyue over.
Then he shouted twice more into the county school.
Zhang Mingyi, Fan Pingyang and the two scholars who went to Xia Mingyue's stall yesterday to buy rice dumplings came out quietly.
In the new week, I hope to get continued support from the little cuties~
