The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 597 The Cousin Was Shocked!

The newly promoted wives of scholars are all the same. When their husbands go on business trips, they always gather together. The Yan family comes the most. They all know that Yan Er, a scholar, is highly valued by the palace. More importantly, the Yan family is also related to the chief steward of the palace.

Yongning City is not big, and the eunuch Wang and the Yan family did not deliberately hide it. It is only a matter of time before this relationship is known to others.

Some people say sour words, and some people look down on them, but ask yourself, who would not envy them? !

In Guanzhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The King of Ying is their sky. The chief steward of the Ying Palace, a close person around the prince, is still a eunuch with a rank. This dry relative... This dry relative is really great!

For scholars, the reputation is slightly flawed, but the inside is practical!

Look at Yan Er, regardless of whether he is the first or not, they are all the same scholars on the same list, and he can enter the palace to work, and is personally named by the prince to go to Xizhou with the prince.

There are also insiders who revealed that she was already enjoying the job of the prince before she passed the exam, which made everyone envious!!

Besides, she did a great job in this matter, making her son and the prince recognize each other as godparents, and also established a relationship, and cleared several family members who had achievements, how cunning, how cunning!

In short, the ladies who entered the Yan family had complicated feelings.

That is Li Xuemei, an old teacher for more than 20 years. She knew the thoughts of these parents, no, relatives of students, and they just wanted to get some information from her.

In order not to let everyone say the same thing, Li Xuemei set a rule of a small gathering every five days.

They were all people who had just achieved class advancement, and the mud legs had not been pulled out of the ground. They could not make the ladies of the rich families drink tea leisurely, and Li Xuemei did not have the time to make those virtual scenes. The main theme of the gathering of the ladies of the scholars was to be pragmatic.

Last time and the time before that, everyone worked together to thaw the frozen soil and mix the coal slag into coal balls. Li Xuemei was mainly the mouth, while the other ladies worked hard. The finished coal balls were divided equally among everyone.

Before that, they kneaded leather together and squeezed goat milk and cow milk... During the coldest period, they made tofu all day long. The stove fire was always on, and the paste and hot water kept flowing out. The Yan family kept most of the remaining tofu and froze it, and the ladies of each family took some back.

Today's schedule is to make shoes. Shoes are the most expensive all year round.

Rong Mama made new shoes for all of them. The inside was stuffed with wool, and the outside was sewn with a whole piece of leather.

It was a bit wasteful, but it was warm. There was another advantage of such shoes. When the snow melted, the ground was full of mud, and it was easier to take care of them with leather.

If the shoes could not be finished in one or two days, they would do it slowly. When they were finished, it was almost time to wear them.

"Are you still going to walk?" Li Xuemei asked.

Yan Yu just smiled and said nothing.

Li Xuemei knew.

They were leaving!

She took out a few piles of clothes from the kang cabinet.

"Put all the old clothes at home and wash them. These are new ones made for you by your grandmother and Rong Niangzi. Change into them when you leave."

"And these are for your father."

"If you go to Huju, tell your eldest sister. She has made them for your uncle. Our car is not at home, and mother is worried about asking her to deliver them."

Yan Yu responded obediently and turned to look at Mrs. Tian.

Mrs. Tian reacted and smiled: "Your master doesn't need it. He wears official uniforms all day long. If you make them, they will just be covered with dust. Two casual clothes are enough."

Yan Yu looked at her mother carefully, swallowed her saliva and said: "Mom, you don't have to make so many for me. I'm growing taller now. I'll be too small to wear them for a winter. Besides, it's too conspicuous for me to wear new clothes outside..."

Li Xuemei glared at her.

This damn girl.

If you don't do bad things, why worry about this?

"You forgot your sister, you wear it first, and leave the smaller one for her." Li Xuemei said.

Yan Yu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, leave it for Xiaoyaer, then I have to dress carefully."

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Li Xuemei looked at her daughter and felt that her round face seemed a little thinner. She felt distressed and her voice softened unconsciously.

"Sour cabbage dumplings! Sour cabbage mutton soup! Boiled pork! Dip in pickles!" Yan Yu opened her mouth and drooled uncontrollably.

Li Xuemei laughed.

Not to mention the first two, boiled pork should be dipped in garlic sauce, and dip in pickles should be served with soybean paste, both of which are heavy.

Her daughter's mouth was so light that she was greedy.

...

When it was time for dinner, Yan Yu not only waited for the few dishes she ordered, but also the crystal jelly and freshly fried peanuts!

Li Xuemei scooped a large spoonful of mashed garlic, poured soy sauce on it, and handed it to her.

Yan Qianchu smiled and put the chopsticks in the hands of her sister, whose eyes were already glued to the table on the kang.

Yan Yu raised her head and looked at Mrs. Tian eagerly.

Mrs. Tian looked at her lovingly and moved the chopsticks first.

Yan Yu then picked up the chopsticks and swept across the plates on the table with an unrivaled momentum.

First, a jelly, dipped in garlic sauce, turned over and covered the whole body, swallowed it in one mouthful, chewed it symbolically twice, and then slid down her throat.

Wow!

Cold!

Garlic refreshing!

Appetizing!

Then came the dumplings she had been thinking about. The sourness of sauerkraut and the aroma of meat were perfectly combined, which relieved her greasiness and cravings!

The half-fat and half-lean pork, after processing, has been separated from the low taste and moved to a higher level. The thickness of the meat slices is moderate, and then coated with garlic sauce, it is so fragrant!

The taste buds are constantly washed.

A few peanuts are put into the mouth whenever there is a gap.

The more you chew, the more fragrant it is!

Yan Yu hummed with satisfaction!

When I get tired of the meat, I pick up a radish stick and poke 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, 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 felt 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 in his left hand and put 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 gave him a few more chopsticks with quick eyes and quick hands.

Warmly greeting: "Cousin, don't be polite to me. Our family raises a lot of cattle and sheep. Don't treat these as purchased, just treat 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 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 it mean to raise a lot? How many have you raised? !

He knew that the Yan family had some wealth, otherwise they wouldn't be able to support three scholars.

But what happened to the Qi family?

Can you make money selling charcoal in Guanzhou?

Why didn’t I get stuck~~~Yu Yuyu~~~~
