Chapter 57
Mrs. Su also knew that Wang Taoqing was joking, so she immediately replied: "My sister-in-law has said the same thing, so I can entrust you with the important task of cooking."

Wang Taoqing frowned: "That's a good relationship, let me show you a hand today."

The three laughed and got busy, washing and chopping vegetables, boiling hot water and killing chickens...

Cooking smoke curled up, and the kitchen was filled with a tempting aroma.

It was just a joke, so it is impossible for the chef to be handed over to Wang Taoqing.

Holding a spatula, Su Mo deftly stir-fried the pork in the pot.

On the side of the small stove is an earthenware pot, simmering chicken soup.

The ingredients are all cut up, put them aside in a bowl, and fry them directly in the pan when you need them.

Wang Taoqing and Hui Niang washed their hands, seeing that there was nothing to do, they immediately said to go back and call for someone to save someone from being late.

Su Mo naturally agreed, but the kitchen couldn't do without people, so he didn't go out to deliver.

After an estimated two quarters of an hour, footsteps came from outside the house.

Su Mo's ears were sharp, and when he heard the sound, he looked towards the door, thinking that the guests had arrived, but saw Fang Yue standing at the door with something in his hand, smiling.

"I can smell the fragrance before I enter the door. I am lucky today."

"Sister Fang is here."

Su Mo suddenly smiled, took out the fried vegetables from the pot, and put them on the stove to warm them.

She never stopped moving, scooping water to wash the pot, then pouring oil, and serving the dishes.

"The food will be ready soon, sister go to the meeting first?"

Fang Yue glanced at the living room, it was empty.

"What about the three children?"

"Learning in the study."

Su Mo put a spoonful of salt into the pot, and then stir-fried, the oily smoke rose and floated down the chimney.

"Reading and literacy is always a good thing. I happened to go back to Huzhou Prefecture and bought some paper, inkstone, pen and ink and the Thousand-Character Wen for Enlightenment.

I am also literate, so I go to practice every morning, and then let them recognize and write with a brush. "

Fang Yue nodded thoughtfully.

The child is still young, if he has this talent, he will be able to study for a living, and he will end up in the future. He does not want to go to high school to become an official, but hopes to be a scholar.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Fang Yue lifted up the things in her hands, her beautiful peach eyes were slightly curved, and she smiled lightly.

"I saw that there was no wine in the things you bought yesterday, so I brought a pot here. The rice wine I made myself is not intoxicating."

Su Mo was startled, also, there is a man in this treat, how can there be no drinks.

"Sister Fang is more careful."

Su Mo put the dishes up and gave Fang Yue a thankful look.

"There is no need to be polite between us sisters."

Fang Yue waved her hands, disapproving, and after finishing speaking, she looked at the gate again and asked, "When will the others come over?
Is there anything I can do for you? "

Su Mo scooped water into the pot.

"Should be here in a while.

There is really no one who needs help. If Sister Fang is bored, why don't you go to the study and call Ping An and them? "

"Sure, then I'll put the wine in the living room first."

Fang Yue is not polite either, between the sisters, politeness seems unfamiliar.

"By the way, which room is this study?"

Su Mo put down the spatula, walked out, raised her hand and signaled, "Just go to the first room this way."

Fang Yue nodded to show that she understood, and after putting the wine into the living room, she went to the study.

Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing also came back, followed by the village head, Chen Cihai, Chen Yuanhai, and the men who helped dig furniture from the ruins a few days ago.

Su Mo saw people and hurriedly yelled at them to sit in the living room.

"The dishes will take a while. There are melon seeds and peanuts on the table. Let's eat and chat for a while."

In Luoshan Village, there is no such thing as different tables for men and women. Su Mo turned out the large round countertop in the warehouse, cleaned it and put it on the square table. There can be many people around it.

The men were a little cautious, and politely responded, choosing a seat to sit down.

Fang Yue also led the three children out.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian were not afraid of strangers, so they called someone and sat down by themselves.

Gu Xingnian huddled in Fang Yue's arms, and she didn't know many people who came.

Fang Yue was also a little uncomfortable, so she simply hugged Gu Xingnian and went to the kitchen.

It happened that Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing were also there.

The two had been to Fang Yue's clothing store before, and they were a little surprised when they met: "Isn't this the shopkeeper of Yuehua Tailor?"

Yuehua Tailor Shop is the name of Fangyue Tailor Shop, which is derived from her and her husband's names.

Fang Yue's eyes swept over the two of them, her eyes were friendly when they met, she smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Su Mo answered with a smile: "It's still my sister of the opposite sex."

Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing looked at each other, a little surprised.

Su Mo smiled and introduced Hui Niang and Wang Taoqing to Fang Yue. The three exchanged a few polite words with each other, and then moved the topic to serious matters.

Hui Niang: "It's almost time, I'll go over and tidy up the table, so it's easier to serve later."

Wang Taoqing: "Sister and brother, where do you put your bowls and chopsticks? I'll take them here first."

Fang Yue didn't want to be idle, so she put down the little man in her arms, glanced at the dishes by the stove, and said, "Then I'll help serve the dishes."

The three of them got busy without waiting for Su Mo to speak, and Su Mo shook his head helplessly. He obviously invited them over for dinner, but in the end they came to help with work.

The dishes were served quickly. Su Mo brought the wine to the table, poured himself a small half bowl, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the care of the big guys these days, I won't say too many polite words, and they are all in the wine."

Su Mo held up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The rice wine tasted sweet and not heavy, so it was not too good to drink.

Seeing that Su Mo was so forthright, the men suddenly lost a little restraint, and said with a smile, you come and go, and the dinner table became lively.

I don't know how long it took, the food on the table was almost eaten, and the pot of rice wine was also drunk.

Su Mo also took out the cold prawns soaked in spring water, poured brown sugar water on them, it was slightly cold, and it was very refreshing to take a bite.

Slightly drunk guys ate a bowl, and they immediately sobered up a lot.

Thinking of going to sea tomorrow and packing up in the afternoon, Su Mo hurriedly greeted her and left with a smile.

Chen Cihai's drinking capacity was hard to describe, he could hold a bowl of rice wine, his face turned red, his head was dizzy from drunk, he tightly clutched Wang Taoqing's arm, and his wife and daughter-in-law kept shouting.

Wang Taoqing was so ashamed that her cheeks burned, she wanted to ask about the recipe of the cold shrimp, but she couldn't care less about it.

After talking to Su Mo, he dragged the person away in a hurry, while Chen Yuanhai laughed at his elder brother's embarrassment, and when he saw the person leave, he also followed.

The village chief called to Su Mo who was cleaning up the dishes, smiling.

"I have already reported your method to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is quite concerned about it, and I guess he will come to the village in the next two days.

If you don't have important things to do, don't travel far in the past two days. "

"I see."

Su Mo nodded with a calm expression, obviously the village chief's reply was expected.

Improving the soil quality and making the barren saline-alkali land grow crops is enough to add a lot of color to the achievements of the county magistrates in coastal counties.

In the Yong Dynasty, local officials were promoted every three years.

The premise of promotion is the annual performance evaluation, and then there is a chance of nomination.

After being nominated, the Ministry of Officials still planned promotions based on political achievements, and then handed over to Emperor Jingyong for finalization.

Those who have outstanding performance can be promoted directly.

But if the performance is mediocre, he will continue to be re-elected.

An official position can be held for up to ten years, and his political performance has been mediocre within ten years. In order to avoid collusion with the local gentry, he will be transferred away.

 The Mid-Autumn Festival goes directly to Kawen for three days.

  No matter what, I feel that the newly opened branch line is so embarrassing. As a result, the manuscripts of tens of thousands of words are all deleted, and I have no saved manuscripts.
