Guozijian little cook

Chapter 50
As soon as he heard Xiao Siye's voice, he knew that he should be in a very good mood.

Even though her voice was a little hoarse, she couldn't hide the joy in her tone.

Xiao Nianzhi felt that he should have won a lot of benefits for himself!

She deliberately lowered her expectations, so that when the time comes, no matter what the final result is, Xiao Nianzhi feels that she will not be disappointed.

Xiao Nianzhi got up with Aunt Qin and the others, but was signaled by Xiao Siye who had already come in, and sat back down again: "No, no, where is it? I can just fill a bowl myself."

Hearing this, Xiao Nianzhi smiled: "That's not okay, cold noodles with shredded chicken must be freshly mixed to be delicious."

While speaking, she had already got up and went to the stove.

There are also blanched bean sprouts, and the noodles are also soaked in cold water. The time is short and it will not affect the taste for the time being.

There is also the prepared sauce, Xiao Nianzhi deftly mixed a bowl for Xiao Siye.

Walnut also got up again, and went to pour Xiao Siye a glass of warm water.

His voice was hoarse, and everyone heard it, but Walnut was careful and quick to respond, so he poured water first.

After drinking a glass of water, Xiao Siye felt a lot more comfortable in his throat.

When the spicy and delicious chicken shredded noodles were placed in front of him, Xiao Siye felt that all his exhaustion had disappeared!

At this moment, he was a little annoyed, and thought: Yu Jijiu should be called home for dinner.

For the square one, although the family will definitely prepare meals for him, but it is not interesting for him alone.

It's just that the other party probably has eaten now, Xiao Siye thought about it, so he didn't bother him, thinking in his heart, let the other party come over to have dinner together in the evening.

After eating, Xiao Nianzhi went to look at the soaked peas.

It's not yet time, so we have to wait.

It happened that Xiao Siye had something to say to her, so Xiao Nianzhi followed him to the front yard.

Walnut followed quietly all the way, after entering the living room of the Xiao Mansion, Walnut poured water for the two of them, and then retreated to the door.

It was hot, and it was uncle and niece, so Xiao Siye didn't let Walnut close the door.

Anyway, they are all from my family, and the reward from His Majesty, there will be an imperial decree coming in the evening, so I am not afraid that people will hear it.

After drinking another glass of water, Xiao Siye slowly opened his mouth: "Think about it, the method of making ice, uncle has already dedicated it to His Majesty, His Majesty is very happy, and rewarded a lot of things, the saltpeter powder needed for ice making , There are many things involved, and there is no way to benefit the people, so the reward is also considered by His Majesty."

Xiao Siye was afraid that the rewards would not be as good as the little girl expected, so he took a vaccination in advance.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat.

She has already lowered her expectations, it can't be lower than this, right?
It's not even mentioned in the plot, His Majesty is a stingy one!
Xiao Nianzhi was thinking anxiously, but didn't rush to speak, but smiled obediently.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Siye was quite relieved, and continued: "Your Majesty rewarded a second-entry mansion, which is in the backyard of our Changqing Street, one street away, where most of the officials of the Imperial Academy, most of them They are scholars, and they are easy to get along with, so don't worry about it."

Hearing that there is a house, Xiao Nianzhi felt that he could do it again.

Because in her low expectations, His Majesty might just promise a few hundred taels of silver, just to make people happy.

However, now there is a house in the capital, and it is still a small courtyard with a second entrance, which is already quite good!
And judging by Xiao Siye's tone, the rewards are obviously more than that.

Sure enough, Xiao Siye took a sip of water again, put down his teacup and continued, "Your Majesty has allocated 36 acres of fertile land outside the capital for you, and the fertile land will be managed by the royal family temporarily. You can just take over, and besides that, your monthly salary in the Imperial College will be increased by two taels."

Xiao Siye and Yu Jijiu even had an argument with His Majesty about who should pay the two taels of silver every month.

What His Majesty means is that the Guozijian pays for it by itself, if there are only more than twenty taels of silver per year.

At that time, Xiao Siye and Yu Jijiu said in unison with a particularly tacit understanding: "No money."

His Majesty laughed angrily at that time, and finally waved his hand to say that he paid the money, and even lectured the two of them, to the effect that don't be too stingy, some money should be spent when it should be spent.

In this regard, Xiao Siye and Yu Jijiu said: We all understand the truth, but it is difficult to ask for money from the household department, only the parties understand.

Therefore, it is okay to listen to the training, but not to pay for it!
When Xiao Nianzhi heard it, it was a house and a land, and the salary was raised.

Okay, okay, exceeded expectations.

Originally, the method of making ice could not be popularized, so there was no way to add points to the item of benefiting the people, and the benefits I could get were limited.

She just wanted to use this to make her presence felt in front of the nobles.

Now that the goal is basically achieved, Xiao Nianzhi is really satisfied.

In the evening, the imperial decree of reward came.

After receiving the decree, the chief manager specifically told Xiao Nianzhi that the palace servants would take her to correct the deed of the house tomorrow.

It means that the transfer of ownership becomes hers!
This made Xiao Nianzhi a little excited. During dinner, he wanted to show off, but was stopped by Xiao Siye.

Aunt Qin made dinner, and Yu Jijiu was invited to have dinner together.

After dinner, Xiao Siye personally sent the person out.

After Aunt Qin and the others cleaned up, Xiao Nianzhi took others to grind the peas.

Neither Zheng Shu nor Qin Shu escaped.

Those who are strong must come to work!

Once the peas are soaked, the next step is to grind them into a slurry.

Soaked peas are actually very easy to squeeze out soy milk.

However, it is not that there is no machine now, it can only be done manually.

The millstone in Xiao Siye's mansion was not big, and he didn't prepare a donkey every day, so he had to grind it manually.

When the family uses it, it's actually not that much, just occasionally grinding things.

No one in the family knows how to make tofu. Nowadays, making tofu is also a craft, not everyone can do it.

Xiao Siye originally wanted to go back and read the books, and by the way, he will take Xiao Nianzhi to correct things like the house deed and land deed tomorrow.

However, seeing Xiao Nianzhi and the others get together, he couldn't help but followed.

then……

Although he is a frail scholar, Xiao Siye, who looks strong and is still a man, was also dragged into a strong man, and was called by Uncle Qin and the others to grind together.

People can do without donkeys.

Xiao Siye: ...

If I knew it earlier, he went to read a book!
So, it's okay, don't join in the fun!
However, he had already come, and he was really curious, so in the end, he and Uncle Zheng made a shift, and the three of them took turns grinding.

If you are really too tired, Aunt Qin and the others can also go.

Regardless of whether they are women, they are also quite strong.

Especially Aunt Qin, who is a good hand in the kitchen, it's not a problem to flip a spoon or something, and she can't hold on to the grinder for a long time, but it's okay for a short time.

The personnel are all here, the materials and tools are also ready, Xiao Nianzhi started immediately!
