Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

The Shen family courtyard was brightly lit, and two lanterns were hung outside the courtyard door.

There are also hangings under the eaves, oil lamps are lit in the main room, and the kitchen is also busy.

Chunju and Xiaotao were both away, so Fan could only take over the kitchen work and cook a bunch of dishes with the two new women.

The dinner was very lively. Although Zhong Ling and others knew that the Shen family was from a farmer's family, they thought that after they became rich, they would live in a big tile-roofed house with a luxurious yard and a lot of servants.

But the reality is very different from their imagination.

There are a lot of servants, but there is no strong sense of hierarchy. Everyone seems to be a family, laughing and joking affectionately, and helping each other with things.

At first glance, you can't even tell who is the master and who is the servant.

Mrs. Fan brought hot water into the house, Shen took a shower, changed into a new pair of thin jacket and trousers, and sat in front of the dressing table refreshingly.

Chunju stood behind her and combed her hair.

Xiao Tao and Liu Ye carried the bath water outside the door, and naturally someone took it and poured it out.

Shen Hui was arranging her clothes, and thinking about Xu Lu, Shen Qing waved her hand for everyone else to go down. She picked up the clean handkerchief on the table, wiped her hair, and chatted with her sister.

"Sister, what do you think of Mr. Xu?"

Shen Hui folded her clothes and didn't dare to look at her, "It's okay! Why do you ask, isn't he the person you recruited?" She naively thought that as long as it was someone recruited by her sister, he would be is trustworthy.

Shen Qing curled his lips and said, "Our family is short of an accountant! And I plan to set up a school in the future so that the children of the tenant farmers can read and write, so that they will not be blind in the future. So when looking for candidates, I will observe them first. After all, this matter cannot be careless. Not just anyone can do it.”

"I think Mr. Xu is good. He is down-to-earth and hard-working. He seems to be quite safe. How about you give it a try?" She rarely expressed her opinion on what her sister wanted to do. In the past, she always said: Just make your decision. .

Shen Qing felt strange, "Sister, do you think he is a good person?"

Shen Hui blinked, not quite understanding her question, "Is he a bad person?"

"Probably not!"

Shen Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "You are the best judge of people. Sister, I believe in your judgment. Are you hungry? Aunt Fan has prepared all the meals and is waiting for you to go out and have a feast!"

Mrs. Fan put three tables together in the courtyard and placed a long dragon. The food on the table could hardly be piled on top.

Shen Qing stood in the courtyard, watching her busy work, and couldn't help but praise: "Auntie, this is a good idea. We all have the most fun eating together."

Mrs. Fan rubbed her hands uneasily, "No, no, I have set up another table for you in the main room. You are the master."

"No need, just let us all eat together. If there is not enough bench, just stand and pick up the food. Anyway, it is enough to eat well."

Fan wanted to say more, but Shen Qi came over and said to her, "Just do what the girl wants."

"Okay!" So Fan asked someone to add another table.

Zhong Ling and others were already familiar with Chun Ju and the others, and they also found out from them what kind of family the Shen family was. As they talked, they also mentioned that the Fan family was going to get a wife in a few days, so the girls became even more excited. However, there are also people who feel heavy-hearted and look gloomy after being excited.

Because they think of themselves, unlike Chunju and other clean girls, they can no longer go back.

Chunju and Xiaotao naturally didn't know what happened to them, and they kept talking about how many banquet tables the Fan family would have, how many people they would invite, and how many firecrackers they had bought.

The main dish on the table was braised duck. I killed two of them and filled two full pots.Because there were so many people, the chicken was also chopped into pieces and roasted with chestnuts picked from the mountains, which was also two full pots.

There is also some smoked rabbit meat, which is always available at home. Rabbits reproduce quickly anyway, and if you don’t catch a few to eat, they will cause trouble for your crops.

In addition, there are stewed fish, steamed pork and fried stinky tofu, which are covered with chili sauce. The smell makes you appetizing.

There are also a lot of vegetables, including a large pot of autumn cowpeas.

When the girls saw the dishes and bowls on the table, their jaws dropped.

"You all use basins to serve food?"

"Is this too big?"

Mrs. Fan said: "There are many people in the family, so it would be too troublesome to serve on a plate. The girl said that it would be more casual at her own home. Come on, you all can come over and grab a bowl to serve the rice. You are welcome. Now that you are here, we will all be a family from now on." "

Cao Cuimei thought she was the Shen family member and happily ran to get the bowls and chopsticks first.

The wood-fired stove for cooking was standing in the yard, and a big pot was filled with steaming white rice.

Even some of them, who are from relatively good families, have never seen so much rice put in a pot and eaten as they go. How luxurious this is!

someone muttered.

“You’re going to collapse after eating like this?”

"You don't eat it every day, right? Maybe it's just to entertain us!"

"Actually, I still prefer steamed buns."

Mrs. Fan heard the conversation between the girls, came over and said with a smile: "Our family has always eaten white flour one day and rice the other day, alternating. Of course, we don't eat it every day. The white flour is mixed with millet flour, and the rice must be mixed with some other grains." , there are a lot of people in the family, and the master said that he wants to eat the same food as everyone else, so there is no difference in food, and besides, he has to do heavy work! How can you have strength if you are not full. "

Several little girls, look at me and I look at you. One of the brave ones asked: "Do we have to go to the fields tomorrow?"

Mrs. Fan felt strange when she heard this, "Master didn't just say that tomorrow we will all go to the fields to collect cabbages. You... I don't know. It depends on what Master means!"

Fan Cuicui stood at the back holding a bowl and said angrily: "The master has gone to the ground, you servants, are you still doing something special?"

"Cui Cui, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Fan was afraid that she would offend someone, so she glared at her.

"Humph! What am I talking nonsense? I'm telling the truth!" She was unconvinced. Maybe she was jealous when she suddenly saw so many beautiful girls at home?

Among the little girls opposite, there was one who was the tallest, probably because she was tall and tall. Her family named her after a boy, Li Shengnan.

There were only about ten girls, and they were divided into two groups. One group was led by Zhong Ling, and the other group was led by Li Shengnan.

It’s not that they are opposed, I just listen to what the two of them say.

Li Shengnan is very good at eating and has a carefree personality. Among all the people, she is the only one with a perfect body. It is not that she is ugly and the water bandits don't like her, but she has a fierce temper and struggles too hard and hits the wall again. He bit his tongue again and scratched several people.

It's not like the water bandits didn't have women to play with, and no one wanted to cause trouble, so she escaped unexpectedly.

Seeing that Fan Cuicui seemed to be hostile to them, Li Shengnan said: "What the girl said is right. We are all servants. There is no need to distinguish between high and low. We are just farming, it's nothing. Come and eat, everyone. There are a lot of meat and vegetables over there. Go It’s too late.”
