Chapter 470 Wrong Payment
Especially when it comes to food.
To be precise, they learned many novel foods from Xia Mingyue, which made it more and more obvious that they had never eaten anything before.
"This is one of them." Feng Maocai sniffed again, "Bizhi was moved, mainly because I didn't expect that the Lord would be so generous and willing to share so much of the food sent by Lady Xia to Beizhi. I'm so grateful!"
As he spoke, Feng Maocai hugged all the food.
Then I felt that although my arms were quite long and I could wrap them all around, it would still be a bit difficult to take them away.
After much thought and a pair of eyes rolling around for several times, Feng Maocai directly found a basket of wattle sticks from the backyard and brought it over. While filling it, he went straight to Pei Chenghe to say thank you, "Thank you, sir. Thank you very much." Sir!”
Pei Chenghe’s eyes widened when he saw this. His eyes were blinded, and he hurriedly ran forward, "These are not all for you!"
"I just took them out for you to pick up a few things you like and take them back. If you all Take it away, what should I eat?”
“Ah?”
Feng Maocai was surprised and his eyes were even wider than Pei Chenghe's. After being stunned for a long time, he sighed sadly, "My joy is in vain..."
After all, it was the wrong payment. !
Seeing this, Pei Chenghe felt a little unbearable, and felt that it was not appropriate for him to care too much about some food as he was the top. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "Forget it, I'll give you some more rice cakes and crispy fish!"
"Those who celebrate the New Year should be happy, but I have been an official for several years, but I always have a breeze. , the monthly salary is also meager. Whenever the children in the family ask about buying new clothes and new books, they are always put off by the humble job. Seeing the beginning of the new year, the humble job is tight in pockets. This is the New Year, and it is not surprising. Can you prepare more fish and meat for your family..."
"That's fine!" Pei Chenghe gritted his teeth again, "I'll give you this pork rib casserole and preserved fruit too!"
"My mother at home is now gray-haired, and all she wants every day is..."
"Five-spice dried tofu and canned snow pears!"
"Humble job..."
Pei Chenghe, "..."
If I bite this tooth again, I'm afraid it will be completely broken!
Pei Chenghe gathered all the remaining food in front of him, his face full of alertness and warning.
The county magistrate’s family doesn’t have much surplus food either, so stop forcing each other!
Seeing this, Feng Maocai had no choice but to swallow all the unspoken words. When he saw that he had succeeded a lot, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he let out a long sigh on his face, "Yes, County Even if your magistrate is kind-hearted, you have to take care of yourself first. These efforts are enough. Even if they are not enough, I will try my best to find a way so that the magistrate does not need to worry too much."
He was not worried at all. Is it okay to worry?
"It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." As he spoke, Feng Maocai put all the things into the wattle basket, and then dragged the basket out with great difficulty.
The officer outside saw this and helped.
After helping Feng Maocai deliver the things back, he came back to help Pei Chenghe deliver them to the backyard.
Seeing that most of the original things were missing, Pei Chenghe felt heartbroken, but he also thought that Feng Maocai was older and younger...
Wait, there is an elder?
Pei Chenghe paused and looked at the Yamen next to him, "How come you haven't heard County Lieutenant Feng mention the birthday banquet for his mother at home in all these years?" After hearing this, the Yamen's expression immediately became a little a little bit. He got weird, "Have you forgotten? Mr. Feng's mother passed away early, and it was his father who raised him. He also died of illness a few years ago."
"The son of County Lieutenant Feng..."
"Master Feng has been married for many years and has no children. He only has one daughter, who is only one and a half years old now."
Pei Chenghe, "..."
He was careless!
This year’s New Year was even more lively than in previous years.
One of the reasons for the excitement is that originally all the people were terrified about the upcoming war, but then I thought about it. If we really go back to troubled times, if we close our eyes tonight, we may not be able to open them again tomorrow. You still have to live one day at a time.
I don’t know if I can enjoy such a peaceful and peaceful New Year again next year, so I have to live it lively.
Secondly, since war may or may not happen, we should make the New Year more lively, set off more fireworks and firecrackers, and have more dragon and lion dances, maybe it can be dispersed Get rid of some evil spirits and drive away some bad luck.
The third thing is that many people do it because of the vinegar making workshop.
It can be said that the vinegar-making workshop looks different every day. Not only is it constantly expanding, but it is also well-managed inside. If it continues like this, the vinegar brewed by this vinegar-making workshop will definitely be delicious, and this vinegar-making workshop will also You can definitely make money.
The fact that the vinegar workshop can make money is equivalent to the fact that those of them who bought the shares of the workshop can make money. Since they can make more money in the future, they are still making money now. do what?
It must be lively!
Furthermore, because of the existence of the vinegar making workshop, the refugees were resettled. The county government even checked the identity and household registration, and reissued the household registration for those who lost their household registration due to the war. In this way, the entire Jinqiu County did not suffer from the loss of the refugees. When they arrive, there will be chaos, but they will live in harmony and make people feel comfortable.
And these can be regarded as the credit of the county government. In this case, if the common people are lively during the Chinese New Year, wouldn't it make the adults of the county government happier?
While it was lively outside, Xia Mingyue's place was also filled with laughter and laughter.
Although Lu Qiyan and the others were not at home to celebrate the New Year, there were more people at home this year than last year, gathering together, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
But apart from talking and joking, we can’t avoid eating and drinking.
On weekdays, everyone is not short of food and water. On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, they also ate hard dishes of big fish and meat for two consecutive days. In addition, there was a constant flow of fried food and snacks on weekdays, so that these days Everyone wants to eat some delicious home-cooked food that day.
Xia Mingyue took advantage of the rare free time these days to cook some refreshing and delicious meals herself.
Spontaneous bean sprouts are indispensable, including fried bean sprouts, stewed bean sprouts and cold bean sprouts.
The tofu I bought years ago has been soaked in cold water to preserve it. When I eat it, I just stew the tofu in a small casserole and eat it while it is hot without dipping it in any condiments. It is enough to bring out the delicious flavor. describe.
Wash fresh spinach, blanch it in a pot for a while, remove it, chop it into pieces, mix it with white flour, egg liquid, etc. into a batter, and spread it into thin spinach and egg pancakes.
Even the black vegetables, steamed black vegetable buns with tofu and vermicelli, can make people eat five or six in one meal...
The days pass quickly fifteen.
At the beginning of the new year, everything comes to life and everyone begins their busy work in the new year.
Xia Mingyue also started running between the vinegar workshop and Xia Ji again.
