Chapter 691: Endless Entanglement

When Zheng Wenting's servant saw that Chu Cong had made a lot of dry food, he anxiously went into the house to report to Zheng Wenting.

When Zheng Wenting heard this, he took ten taels of silver and bought a lot of potatoes, pumpkins and sweet potatoes with the village chief's wife. He also asked Chu Cong himself, "My servants can wash, cut and boil them. You just need to help us fry them." The cake is ready, don’t worry, I won’t let you work in vain. When you return to the capital, I will give you a set of jewelry and facial hair. How about it?”

"Who wants your jewelry for your reputation?" Chu Cong glared, as if Zheng Wenting's words had insulted her.

Just when Zheng Wenting thought that she didn't want to help him, and he was about to ask Xia Zihan, Chu Cang changed his words again, "Because you are a friend of my princess, I will do these things for you, but , your people also have to help, Chu Fei and Shengdi have to pack up after dinner."

"Help, we must help. If they don't help, they won't be able to eat." As he said that, Zheng Wenting glanced at the two boys beside him.

The two young men also nodded and bowed with a smile and said, "Miss Chu Cang, I'll light the fire. If you have any work, just give us orders."

"I'll wash the potatoes. I can't cook, but I can still wash vegetables." Another boy said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll cook first, and you wash all these out first. When the meal is ready, I'll help you make pancakes." Chu Cong pointed at the pile of food Zheng Wenting bought at his feet.

At noon, Xia Zihan knew that Chu Cong had cooked all the edible things and borrowed two large pots from the village chief's house. She told Chu Cong not to let the village chief's wife cook at noon, and everyone would cook together. It's time to have a meal.

It can also be regarded as a break-up meal.

Chu Cong smiled and responded repeatedly, "Even if the master doesn't say anything, the servant borrowed her pot, so he should return the favor."

When he got to the kitchen, Chu Cang told the village chief's wife that she would not have to cook for lunch but only cook a pot of sorghum rice.

She didn't cook much sorghum rice, just two pots, and she had to save it for the road. There were more than a dozen people eating at the village chief's side, and they were all edible, so she was reluctant to give out the sorghum rice.

As for the dishes...

Chu Cong looked at the uncooked Chinese cabbage and saw that there were seven or eight pieces of Chinese cabbage, one weighing five or six kilograms, and about twenty radishes. She had an idea, washed out all the Chinese cabbage and radish, and cooked two pieces. One Chinese cabbage and six large white radishes were eaten for lunch. One cabbage was made into spicy and sour vinegar, and the other was cut into half a piece of braised pork belly and stewed together.

As for the big white radish, she used the leftover soup from the braised pork to stew a large pot of radish cubes.

She cut the remaining cabbage and radishes into shreds, salted them directly, and added some vinegar and chili powder to make them hot and sour. Then she found the village chief's wife and bought two of them. Pickle jar, put the mixed Chinese cabbage and radish into the jar.

In the future, even if there is no firewood to burn, the few of them will not starve to death. They will eat some dry food, boil some sorghum rice with hot water, and eat some pickles, and they will be full.

After cooking, Chu Cang had no intention of sitting down to eat with the village chief and his family.

She divided the dish into four portions. Each portion included a plate of braised pork, a plate of spicy and sour Chinese cabbage, a plate of stewed Chinese cabbage with pork belly, a pot of braised radish cubes, and a pot of potato slices.

The potatoes used for the potato chips were bought from Zheng Wenting. Chu Cong's potatoes were all fried into potato cakes. Since there were not many vegetables and he was afraid that they would not be enough to eat, Chu Cong took a few kilograms of potatoes from Zheng Wenting and fried a potato slice. .

The village chief was very happy when he saw the food brought by Chu Cang. It can be said that that meal was the happiest meal the village chief had eaten in his old age, and it was also the most delicious meal he had eaten. meal.

Chu Cang is very good at cooking. The most important thing is that she is willing to add oil and seasonings. She is not like the village chief's wife, who deliberately cooks unpalatable food for fear of being eaten too much.

While she was cooking, Zheng Wenting's boy put things into the pot and cooked them. After she made the meal, the things were cooked and pressed into mud. Chu Cang didn't even have time to eat, so he was busy helping him. Pancakes.

Chu Cang was so hungry that he ate two pumpkin cakes.

After she finished frying the pancakes, Li Sangwu came. Li Sangwu got Chu Jingqi's order and asked him to buy a lot of rakes and shovels in the village.

It is winter, there is no need to farm, and the villagers do not have access to farm tools for the time being, and the price he gave is high, three times that of buying new farm tools.

When the villagers were happy, they sold him two of their farm tools.

Chu Jingqi's secret guards took some farm tools and walked first.

The rest was all given to the escorts.

When Li Sangwu came, the place had been almost cleaned up, and only Zheng Wenting's pumpkin cake was left, which had not yet cooled down.

"I don't have time to wait for it to cool down. I think I'll just buy a basket, line it with oil paper, and put it directly in the basket." Chu Cong said to Zheng Wenting's boy.

The boy quickly went to do it.

After a while, he came back with a basket in one hand.

After loading all kinds of cakes, the boy moved the two baskets onto Zheng Wenting's carriage.

Zheng Wenting also came out and got on the carriage first.

Seeing that Zheng Wenting was about to leave, Da Ya cried and wiped her tears. She wanted to live or die, and she wanted to follow Zheng Wenting shamelessly.

She muttered, "Brother Wen, you are the eldest son of a wealthy family. How about I go and be your concubine? Your family is rich and has a lot of maids and wives. There are also many concubines and aunts, not many of me." If you’re eating alone, Brother Wen, just accept me.”

"Brother Wen, I really like you, and I can't bear to have you leave, wuwu... please, please take me away."

If Zheng Wenting's servant hadn't been so defensive, she would have rushed up to him, hugged Zheng Wenting's lap and cried.

"I'm sorry, my family has a family rule that you can only marry a concubine if you have no children under the age of forty." Zheng Wenting said lightly, his expression and eyes were very contemptuous, but Da Ya acted as if he hadn't seen it and still kept pestering her. .

The village chief, the village chief's wife, Da Ya's two brothers, and sister-in-law all seemed not to notice the impatience on Zheng Wenting's face, and even tried to persuade Zheng Wenting to be kind and accept Da Ya.

Looking at this shameless person, Zheng Wenting felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

He said goodbye coldly and quickly got into the carriage.

"Brother Wen, please take me away with you, I beg you..." Daya cried and shouted, wanting to rush up to the horse and pull him.

The young man swung for a moment, pulled out a long sword, pointed it at her, and said coldly, "Da Ya girl, please come back. To be honest, you are the only one, not to mention being a concubine for my young master, just to be a concubine for my young master." You are not qualified to be a maid sweeping the floors of my family.”

During this period of time, this big girl used the opportunity of delivering food to the young master to always pester his young master. Even when the young master opened his mouth to drive people away, she pretended not to have heard her. She was as shameless as a ten-year-old. A city wall.
