Farmer's clever woman busy farming

Chapter 209 Tired
Yan looked at the piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Sister Yuan's hand, took it casually and took a bite. After eating it, she found it tasted pretty good, much better than those sold by the peddlers in the market. So, she glanced at Gu Jiujiu who was lighting a fire under the stove and asked, "Xiao Jiu, where did you buy this sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"I don't know either." Gu Jiujiu looked at Yan and told her truthfully, "This sweet-scented osmanthus cake was bought at the market by the way when my husband went to fetch medicine for my mother that morning. Which dim sum shop in the market bought it. If your mother likes to eat, he will come back in a while, you can ask him."

"Why do I ask my son-in-law?" Yan smiled, "Mother just asked casually." After speaking, Yan continued to stew the chicken.

After about an hour, the stewed chicken with mushrooms in the pot was cooked.

Yan took a large porcelain bowl from the stove and put it on the wooden table to put it away. Just as she was about to scoop the second bowl from the iron pot, Shen Kuo returned the carriage from the Yamen and came back.

When Yan saw Shen Kuo, she first let him sit, then looked at him and said with a smile, "Son-in-law, you came back just in time, we are planning to eat."

"I returned the carriage to the county magistrate and came back." Shen Kuo sat down at the table while talking.

Gu Jiujiu watched Yan Shi scooping up vegetables, so she got up to help set the dishes.

The stewed chicken with mushrooms is delicious, the chicken soup is delicious, and the chicken is crispy and tender. Everyone ate a lot.Two full bowls of chicken were almost half eaten.

After the meal, Yan told Gu Jiujiu that in the past two days, she had made all the one hundred catties of rice she bought at the market last time into rice noodles, and they could drive the ox cart to the market to sell it in the morning up.

After washing the dishes and tidying them up, Yan's is ready to stew the pork bone soup that will be used to sell rice noodles tomorrow.

Originally, Gu Jiujiu wanted to help cook together, but Yan didn't let her do it, saying that she must be tired after a day's driving, so she should go back to her room early to rest.

Gu Jiujiu knew Yan's temperament, even if she stayed in the kitchen, Yan would not let her do anything.After thinking about it, stewing pork bone soup is not troublesome, so she didn't insist anymore, turned around and went back to the house.

Brother Yan went to the school, and Shen Kuo didn't have to go to teach Brother Yan's house to teach him to read and write.When Gu Jiujiu went back, he saw Shen Kuo lighting an oil lamp and sitting under the window, writing something.

Thinking about the last time when Shen Kuo went to the inn in the market to get back the account book, he hadn't finished it yet, and it took another two days to send Brother Yan to Jin'an City. If she guessed right, Shen Kuo should be doing the account book right now.

Shen Kuo finished writing the account in his hand, and when he knew that Gu Jiujiu had come in, he put down the brush in his hand, looked back at Gu Jiujiu with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiu, come here."

Gu Jiujiu walked up to Shen Kuo, and while holding her in his arms, Shen Kuo told her, "Xiao Jiu, in the afternoon, when I went to return the carriage to the county magistrate, I told the county magistrate about our purchase of the carriage. The youngest son of the master said it. The youngest son of the county magistrate heard this and wrote a letter to a merchant he knew who sold carriages in the Cangyi country. Before long, the merchant from the Cangyi country would take us The carriage will be delivered to our home. Next time, we will send Brother Yan to Jin’an City, so we don’t have to go to the county magistrate’s house to borrow a carriage.”
