Chapter 2216

The party returned with a full load. They really returned with a full load. They couldn't eat all the fish they caught, so they were assigned to each yard, even master you.

As soon as he returned to the yard, steward Li led three women to meet him. "Young master, these are the cook and helper I invited. In the future, they will stay in the yard to serve. Young masters and young ladies can call them if they have anything."

Bai Shan also carried the barrel in his hand. When he heard the speech, he put down the barrel and put down his rolled up sleeve. He turned his head and looked at the three people.

The cook is the oldest of the three. She looks like she is in her thirties. Her head is wrapped in a piece of cloth, her clothes are washed white, and she has made several patches. Her face should be from the Central Plains. Her hands are a little rough. She is standing with her head slightly lowered. She feels that her eyes fall on her. She can't help holding her hands tightly.

Bai Shan asked, "what dishes can you cook?"

Manager Li stepped aside and didn't mean to speak for her. Obviously, he wanted her to answer by herself.

The cook could not help holding her fingers nervously, but she was very fluent. After a gift, she replied, "I can cook Sichuan food. I have stayed near Beijing for several years, so I can also cook Beijing food."

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li steward.

Man Bao, who was dispatching fish, heard it and couldn't help but "eh", looked back at steward Li and said with a smile: "steward Li specially found it for us?"

Steward Li smiled and said, "I don't think my husband and young ladies have a good appetite, so I wonder if the food here is not delicious. So I went out for a walk today. I happened to see sister-in-law he. She spoke with some accent. When I asked, I knew that she was from Sichuan and could cook again, so I invited her on my own."

He said: "if the masters want to stay here for a period of time, they can't always eat inns and restaurants. The dishes here come and go like that. Although each family will make some differences, they are also the same."

He said with a distressed look on his face, "it's too wronged for young masters and young ladies. Young masters and young ladies have lost weight these two days."

Nie joined the army when he heard that there were fish to eat, so he couldn't help looking at Zhou man and Bai Shan. He looked back and forth for several times and didn't see where they were thin.

And do they have a bad appetite?

They had dinner together last night, probably because they hadn't eaten rice for a long time. Both of them ate two bowls of rice last night, as much as he did!

No, they ate melons, fruits and snacks less than half an hour after dinner!

Nie joined the army and drew a corner of his mouth. He looked away and asked Bai Erlang, "do you want to send us fish?"

Bai Erlang regained his mind and generously pointed to the fish in the barrel: "you can pick two at will."

Man Bao suddenly remembered something and asked the cook, "can you make tofu? I suddenly want to eat tofu fish head. "

Mr. Zhuang, who had never spoken, suddenly nodded and said, "this is good."

His sister-in-law's face showed bitterness, pinched her fingers and said, "I can make tofu fish head, but I can't make tofu."

Man Bao said happily, "if you can't buy it, do you have to be able to grow rice if you can cook?"

Man Baole paused halfway, tilted his head and looked at Bai Shan incredulously, "no, there's no tofu here?"

Bai Shan carefully recalled the place he passed yesterday, "doesn't it seem?"

Sister he said, "no, people here don't even grow beans, so there's no tofu."

"Beans are for horses," she said

Man Bao thought for a moment and said unsure, "I think I should."

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Liru with some self-confidence. She knew the recipe. When sister-in-law Zhou made tofu for the first time, she was instructed by man Bao, but it was her sister-in-law. When she said the last sentence, the other party could understand the next sentence, which would be different from others.

Zhou Liru scratched his head and said definitely, "if there is brine, I will order tofu."

In the two years when my sister-in-law went to Yizhou, she and her two sisters helped make all the tofu at home, not to mention that later, the second sister also went out, and the eldest sister got married. Basically, she fought behind her uncle and mother, but

"But I can't guarantee the taste."

Because making tofu is also a craft. When her mother didn't learn very well, she wanted to let her learn it well. Later, getting married is also a craft. So she tried to order two pots of tofu. In the end, the tofu was finished, but she stayed at home to eat. In addition, she sent a lot to her uncle's house.

Although everyone didn't say it, Zhou Liru knew that the tofu she ordered was not very good.

But... Whatever, I can eat it in the end. Didn't the family eat up the two pots of tofu in the end?

She can make brine.

Man Bao turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, it's late today. You can only make brine at most. If you want to eat tofu fish head, you'll have to go tomorrow at the earliest."

Mr. Zhuang didn't pick, "OK, tomorrow."

Sister-in-law he knew she could stay as soon as she heard it. With a sigh of relief, she immediately rolled up her sleeve, took the bucket, and asked humbly, "what would you like to eat in the evening, sir and miss?"

Mr. Zhuang thought about it and said, "eat some vegetables and stir fry some vegetables."

He has been eating either meat or dry food recently. His intestines and stomach can't stand it.

The cook should go.

Man Bao waved and said, "I'm free. I love to eat. You can do it. By the way, stewed rice. I'll have rice tonight."

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, "yes, stewed rice."

Bai Shan discussed with manager Li, "remember to buy some rice noodles when you arrive in Shazhou."

Steward Li responded, and then introduced the other two people to them. "This is to help the kitchen and clean the yard. If the masters have anything to wash, they can also give it to them."

After all, there are miss man and Miss Li Ru. It's more convenient to have two maids.

They are not young either. They are in their twenties. They have lofty noses and deep eyes. They should be local people. They can speak simple Chinese. Their clothes are a little better than sister-in-law he's, but they are also washed white and their hands and feet are neat. Bai Shan decided to leave them to clean the yard first. They made a mess when they divided the fish just now.

Nie Shenjun stood aside and looked at the whole process. After shaking his tongue, he turned and asked man Bao, "what is Lord Zhou going to do this time?"

Twenty days. It's not a short time. Can't you sleep all the time?

Man Bao smiled and said, "we'll go fishing tomorrow, but I still want to go to the Gobi."

Nie joined the army and asked excitedly, "what are you looking at?"

"Look at the scenery," man Bao said. "I heard that there are some plants on the Gobi, which are not found in the Central Plains. I'll go and have a look."

Nie's interest in joining the army was put away and he felt that he had asked for nothing.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "won't lord Zhou visit the mayor of the town?"

Man Bao shook his head: "he's not sealed by the imperial court, and I'm not here for business. I'll just be my guest, but if you want to join the army, go."
