Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 240 Trapped in Yueshan County

After his grandmother came back, Mo Qianrui introduced the identities of several people to her at once.

The oldest one, Granny Liu, was in charge of some clumsy chores such as cleaning.This is mainly because she herself is not as clean as the other young people. Mo Qianrui has a slight obsession with cleanliness, and other things may be tolerable, but she cares about things in the kitchen very much.

Can you ignore it?That's the entrance thing!

As for the mother and daughter who were bought by Mo Qianrui, the mother was only 21 years old, but she didn't mention her name, and only Lu Zhang's was written on the contract of sale.She asked Mo Qianrui to call her Yunniang, because her six-year-old daughter's nickname was Xiaoyun.And she was married at the age of 13, her husband died at the age of 14, and her daughter was born at the age of 15.

As for the remaining two women, one is 23 years old, her husband's family name is Jiang, and she calls herself Mrs. Jiang.There is another 26-year-old whose husband's family name is Xing, who calls herself Mrs. Xing.

My grandma has a good memory and is used to calling people around.

At that moment, before Mo Qianrui could speak, she called Mrs. Liu to clean the backyard.As for the others, because Mo Qianrui called them to the small kitchen where they were making snacks, Grandma let them go temporarily.

However, the results of the cooking test were not very satisfying.

Obviously, it is no problem for these few people to cook with fire, but it is the first time to use the oven.Even if the oven in the small kitchen was the most primitive one made by the original owner, they couldn't get started for a while.

That's all for Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Xing. Although they don't know how to use them very well, they have a decent attitude.

And Yunniang didn't know what was wrong, she looked absent-minded.

At first, Mo Qianrui thought it was because she had just sold herself as a slave, and she couldn't adjust.But on closer inspection, it turns out that's not the case at all.Because Yunniang doesn't seem to be depressed, she just looks up to the window frequently, and occasionally shows a nervous look.

When Yunniang raised her head to look out the window again, Mo Qianrui hurriedly followed her eyes, but saw Huiniang who was still a little dazed in the yard, and beside her, she kept talking to her with her head up. Xiaoyun.

Sighing silently, Mo Qianrui guessed that her husband's family threatened to sell Xiaoyun, which should be a big blow to Yunniang.Even now that she has settled down for the time being, she is still a little restless, fearing that her daughter will disappear if she is negligent.

Faced with this situation, Mo Qianrui really couldn't bear to scold her, but there was no other way.

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Qianrui finally decided not to be so harsh.Not to mention prostitution, even if they are hired, they have to give them a period of time to adapt to the new job.At that moment, Mo Qianrui simply called Yunniang to take Xiaoyun to clean up the empty room.Xiaoyun, who is only six years old, must not be allowed to come in and out of this kitchen at will, but it doesn't matter if the mother and daughter want to live in the room.

As for Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Xing, Mo Qianrui arranged for lunch.

Although in Yangliu Village and Mingyue Town, most people eat morning and evening meals, at most they eat some snacks at noon to pad their stomachs.But Mo Qianrui has long been used to three meals a day, if there is a shortage of food at home, he can just bear it.But now she wants money and money, food and food, so why bother with her own stomach?

Just in time, let's also test how well Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Xing are cooking, and see if they can become good cooks through acquired teaching.

You know, for a chef, talent is very important.Like Tang Yanxiu, you don't even need to ask him to cook a table of dishes. You only need to see how panicked he is when he enters the kitchen and wants to order the kitchen directly, you will know that he has no talent as a chef at all.

Of course, culinary idiots like Tang Yanxiu are still in the minority.

Because the ingredients are ready-made, and although the small kitchen is used to make snacks, it also has a stove, and there is a pantry next to it.It didn't take long for the two of them to pack up a table of dishes. They were not exquisite and delicious, but ordinary home-cooked dishes.

Basically, it can be said that it is comparable to the cooking skills of Mo's mother.

Mo Qianrui was thinking about it while eating lunch.

With the culinary skills of Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Xing, it is definitely not good to be a cook in charge.After all, it's not fashionable to eat home-cooked food in restaurants these days.In addition, she doesn't plan to open an ordinary restaurant or restaurant, but a restaurant, which may allow Lady Jiang and Lady Xing to cook soup or make snacks.

When making soup, the most important thing is the recipe and enough patience, but the craftsmanship is second.

It is also easy to make dim sum, perhaps because Wanhua County is in the south, ordinary women here do not know how to make pasta such as buns and dumplings.Of course, restaurants and restaurants still sell noodles, but they are not very delicate.

Mo Qianrui also tried it when he was in Mingyue Town.Like my grandmother and grandma, even if they don't know how to make pasta at first, with a little bit of guidance and more practice for a while, there is no problem.Relatively speaking, my father is much stupider, but he is good at kneading dough, even better than Mo Qianrui.

Since the main focus will be dim sum and various soups in the future, even if you are not good at cooking, you can just learn to make dim sum and soup.

No matter how stupid a person is, he will always knead the dough, right?
However, Mo Qianrui still kept an eye on it. She would not teach how to make Western-style dim sum until she was sure of the character of the people she hired.As for stuffed buns and dumplings, it doesn't matter, they are not exclusive anyway.

After making up his mind, Mo Qianrui asked Grandma to buy some flour.Although she went to buy some before to confirm the dishes for the opening, but the quantity was too small, and it was barely enough for her to use.But teaching is not enough.

After getting grandma's eyes, Mo Qianrui successfully welcomed the flour in the evening.

Even Ah Nai bought not only the most common wheat flour, but also two bags of sorghum flour and one bag of sweet potato flour.

Looking at the food, Mo Qianrui was very moved, especially the bag of sweet potato powder, which reminded her of the time when she just crossed.At that time, she relied on the few sweet potatoes in the space to make money for her family.It's just that the bag of sweet potato powder is obviously of poor quality, and it should be the most common sweet potato, not sweet potato.

Maybe some people don't understand the difference between sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, and even think that these two are exactly the same plant, but that is a big mistake.

Basically, sweet potatoes belong to the Convolvulaceae family, while sweet potatoes are legumes.

These are two completely different plants, but in terms of taste, they are very similar.

However, sweet potatoes are sweeter than sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes can be directly made into sugar. If you want to use sweet potatoes to make sugar, you must add appropriate amount of sweet potatoes and maltose, otherwise the sweetness will not be enough.

Thinking back to the time when I just crossed, I once wanted to take out sweet potato seeds and let my father plant them outside, but so many things happened one after another, and this matter was delayed indefinitely.Naturally, with the current family situation, it is impossible for Dad to go back to Yangliu Village to farm, but she can ask others to help plant.

After a quick calculation, Mo Qianrui felt that this matter should not be rushed for a while, after all, she had too many things on hand now, and there was no good reason to take out the sweet potato seeds.It's better to wait for Tang Yanxiu to come back, use his name to buy two acres of land next to Wanhua County, and hire others to plant it.

Thinking about it this way, Tang Yanxiu's name is really useful!

But I don't know when he will come back.

Tang Yanxiu, who was being missed by Mo Qianrui, was now standing drenched on the edge of the pier, shouting unlucky, and thankful at the same time.

Shouting bad luck because the ship hit the rocks.

Fortunately, he was on deck when the ship hit the rocks, and the ship was less than 100 meters away from the pier.

Tang Yanxiu knows how to swim. In his words, it is not a problem to swim two or three times in a 50-meter-long swimming pool.Of course, if the weather is windy and rough, the swimming level of a three-legged cat like him is definitely not enough.However, when he was thrown into the water because the boat hit the rocks, it was a fine day with no clouds and no wind.

It didn't take much effort to swim to the edge of the pier, but the height of the pier was much higher than the water surface. Fortunately, he was small. Seeing this, a man on the pier stretched out his hand and dragged him onto it.It's a pity that besides being grateful, Tang Yanxiu was more aggrieved.

Being dragged half a meter high with one hand...

What a shame!
Then, other people on the pier also rowed to the ship that hit the rocks.

Fortunately, except for Tang Yanxiu's valet, everyone else, including the old man who cooks on the boat, is fluent.

As for the unlucky personal servant, he was carried to the rescue ship by several boatmen.

After the boy was also rescued, Tang Yanxiu immediately dragged the boy to the nearest inn by the pier.Although spring has begun and the weather is gradually getting hotter, it is not midsummer after all.Wearing wet clothes, I must have caught a cold when I turned around... No, it should be a cold.

He took out a silver dime from his pocket and threw it to the waiter at the inn, telling him to boil water immediately and then rush to buy two sets of clothes.

In fact, all Tang Yanxiu's things are stored in the space, but this cannot be told to others.

The hot water came quite quickly, but Tang Yanxiu and the personal servant were dressed completely differently.In addition, it was Tang Yanxiu who gave the silver coin just now, so no matter whether it was hot water or the side, he was the first to use it.So, that night, the valet fell ill.

"Xiaorui, I'm so unlucky!"

The place where the ship hit the rocks was not Ning County, Wanhua County, but Yueshan County, Chongming County, which was five or six days away from Wanhua County.

Although the distance between the two is not too far, the problem is that the wharf in Yueshan County is in an inverted triangle shape. When there was nothing to do before, only one large ship and two or three small boats could pass each time.But now, a ship that big is stuck less than 100 meters from the pier.Although the ship did not sink completely, the bottom of the ship was pierced, making it impossible for the ship to advance or retreat.Secondly, because the ship is too big, the small boat next to it is also helpless against such a behemoth.

Today, Tang Yanxiu either patiently waits for the dredging of the waterway to be completed, or takes a horse-drawn carriage across the entire Chongming County, and takes two months to go to Wanhua County by land.

No matter which choice is made, it is so hopeless.

What made Tang Yanxiu even more desperate was yet to come. Although he was only the hirer of the ship, because the owner of the ship was not on board, those boatmen had completely lost their minds because of panic.Tang Yanxiu was forced to help take care of the ship.

What's more, his valet fell ill because of the cold...

He definitely didn't read the almanac when he went out!
