pastoral little wife

Chapter 52 Unhappy

From time to time, voices could be heard in her ears, Yun Duo woke up in a daze, and at a glance she could see the green mountains in the distance, the green wheat fields nearby, and the cool autumn wind blowing on her face, which made her wake up slowly.

At this time, it was morning, and when the mist was enveloping, the wheat seedlings had just sprouted, the mountains were blue and the sky was blue, and the air was clear and the water was green.

Yun Duo returned the jacket to Nie Dalang, and stretched his neck to look around.

With the development of modern industry, the hustle and bustle of the city has replaced the tranquility and comfort of green mountains and rivers. She has not seen such an empty and leisurely natural beauty for a long time.

Nie Dalang saw her little face brimming with joy, like a curious bird, looking at her with warm eyes.

The closer to the county seat, the more people on the road, some in a hurry, some in a leisurely manner, Wang Zhong and a servant drove the donkey cart very quickly.

After passing the city gate, you can see the wide street, the endless stream of people, the ancient buildings on both sides, and all kinds of cries.

Yun Duo thought of the five qian silver that Steward Luo gave her, and she took it with her, and will see if she can add more later, and try this ancient snack.

The donkey cart crossed the street, arrived at the gate of the Han Mansion, went around, and stopped at the corner gate.

Wang Zhong went to call the door, and a gatekeeper woman came out, looked at Yun Duo, and said with a smile, "I thought it was an old man, but I didn't expect it to be a pretty little girl."

"Hello aunt!" Yun Duo greeted with a smile.

Seeing that she was not timid or hiding, the old woman greeted her with a smile and squinted her eyes, and said, "This little mouth is really sweet! Follow me in! It's time for lunch soon!"

Wang Zhong was invited by the servant to drink tea in the porter's room.

Nie Dalang was also left in the concierge, watching Yun Duo being taken away by the woman, he frowned slightly.

Wang Zhong looked at it and laughed, "Don't worry, when the fish is ready, the clouds will come out."

Yun Duo also looked back from a distance, giving Nie Dalang a reassuring look.

Followed the mother-in-law all the way to the second door, and the daughter-in-law of Luo Guanshi came to Chen's mother to lead Yun Duo to the kitchen, "Don't be afraid, just cook the fish well. If you do it well, the wife will reward you!"

Yun Duo responded, "Thank you, Aunt Luo, for your suggestion."

The cook in the kitchen has already started cooking. Seeing Yunduo coming over with Chen’s mother, she looked at Yunduo inquisitively. Someone knew Chen’s mother very well, and greeted her with a smile, “Chen’s mother! This little girl is really juicy. Is it your relative?"

"Our head of the family found the fish from outside! I heard that the fish she cooks doesn't smell fishy, ​​and it's really delicious!" Chen's mother saw that the fish was ready, and the stove was empty, and urged Yun Duo Hurry up.

Yun Duo responded, and looked at the fish, silver carp, carp, crucian carp, mandarin fish and perch. She didn't plan to cook them all, so she killed a silver carp, stewed the fish head with tofu, and sliced ​​the fish meat. Poached fish.Another carp was fried and braised in brown sauce.

It's like cooking well, it's time to set the meal.

Mother Chen personally brought three dishes to the upper room.

A few cooks in the kitchen said to Yun Duo, "Seeing that you can cook fish at such a young age, you are really good! The fish soup is milky white and thick, and it really doesn't smell fishy at all." !” Praise her first.

"I saw that you made fish money and washed it with red water in a bamboo tube. That is the potion you brought to get rid of the fishy smell?" She said while she was in a good mood.

There are people who want to see it quickly.

Yun Duo's eyes were a little cold, and he smiled and looked at the few people without speaking.

Seeing that she didn't talk to her, just looked at them without making a sound, the cooks felt a little resentful.

After a while, Mother Chen returned, "My wife said that the fish you cook is good, so I want you to make two more dishes!"

Yun Duo looked at the remaining fish, steamed a sea bass, and cooked a sweet and sour carp.

A few cooks who wanted to steal the teacher saw her cooking like that, only the potion to get rid of the fishy smell was the key.

Mother Chen came back again, took a money bag, and thought of what his wife said, "give her ten taels of silver, and let her sell the prescription for getting rid of fishy smell", she looked embarrassed.The head of the family said before that if the little girl was really willing to sell, he would not bring her to the mansion to make fish.

When Yun Duo heard that the wife of the Han family wanted to buy the secret recipe, she had already expected, "Mother Chen! This secret recipe is the foundation of my family's survival, and no one will buy it or sell it."

Mother Chen said a few good words, seeing that Yun Duo's face did not change, she did not let go, and went back.

"A grassroots person, just asking for money. Give her 20 taels." Mrs. Han Fu doubled it.

Chen's mother walked over again with a little heavy footsteps, and tried to persuade Yun Duo, "What price do you want, so I can plead with my wife."

plead?Yun Duo frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Mother Chen is doing it for my own good, and I'm telling the truth. It's not about money. The family secret recipe won't be sold. If my wife likes to eat fish, just ask me to come over and make it."

Chen's mother frowned, wanting to threaten, but also thought that the prescription could not be bought, and she would be asked to cook fish in the future, so she went back to the wife's words with a sullen face.

In the end, 20 taels became two taels, and Yun Duo had to cook again tomorrow before leaving.

It was already past the noon meal time, and Mother Chen stayed with Yun Duo for dinner, but Yun Duo politely declined, and went out of the Han Mansion directly with the money.

Seeing that she was not as happy as when she came, Nie Dalang glanced at the gate of the Han Mansion, "What's wrong?"

Yun Duo sighed, "I really don't like this place!" She restrained everything she did.She looked at Nie Dalang sympathetically, she would earn enough money soon, and then she could go home, but Nie Dalang would have to live here for the rest of her life, what a pity.

"Then what place do you like?" Nie Dalang asked her softly, sighing like an adult.

"There are delicious places!" Yun Duo laughed, and pulled him to the street, "I'm so hungry, let's go buy something to eat!"

Nie Dalang stared for a moment, didn't ask her why she didn't eat, and went shopping with her on the street.

Sure enough, the county town is much more lively than the town, and there are many kinds of snacks. Whenever Yun Duo is in a bad mood, she will eat a big meal. Now that she has money, she buys some delicious food whenever she sees it.

Nie Dalang also ate a lot with him.

After walking down the two streets, Yun Duo was full, his mood improved, and the dozens of pennies he had saved were all spent.Yun Duo smiled at Nie Dalang embarrassedly, "Hehehe! All the copper coins I saved are spent. I can only spend money to stay at the inn at night."

Nie Dalang patted her head, and led her to find an inn on the street.

Yun Duo took out the five renminbi that he had saved before, and was about to stay in the hotel when Wang Zhong approached him, "I just delivered something to the uncle, and you two couldn't find anyone later. Is this going to stay in a hotel? We My family has a house in the county, so come with me! It’s not safe to live outside!”

Yun Duo wanted to decline, but Wang Zhong said again, "Our uncle and grandma also want to try your fish!"

After thinking about it, Yun Duo agreed, this hotel is not cheap, don't waste the two taels of silver you just earned.

It's just that the two of them followed Wang Zhong to the small courtyard of Fan's family. Yun Duo was thinking that he had to cook a fish meal for the Han family tomorrow. There was not much medicine left, so how to distribute the meal tonight, when he found the bamboo tube containing the medicine gone.
