A group of people returned with a full load, it was really a full load, and they couldn't finish the fish they caught, so they were divided into various yards, and even Mr. You had two fish.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Guan Shi led three women to come to see him, "Master, these are the cooks and helpers I invited. They will stay in the yard to serve in the future. You can call them if you have anything to do." .”
Bai Shan was still carrying the wooden bucket in his hand, upon hearing this, he put down the wooden bucket, put down his rolled up sleeves, and turned his head to look at the three of them.
The cook lady is the oldest among the three, she looks like she is in her thirties, her head is wrapped with a piece of cloth, her clothes are washed white, and she has been patched several times, her face should be from the Central Plains, her hands She was a little rough, and she was standing with her head slightly lowered. Feeling that someone was looking at her, she couldn't help but clenched her hands nervously.
Bai Shan asked, "What dishes do you know?"
Li Guanshi stepped aside, and didn't mean to speak for her, obviously wanting her to answer by herself.
The cook couldn't help pinching her fingers nervously, but she blessed her very fluently and then replied, "I know how to cook Sichuan cuisine. I've lived near Gyeonggi for a few years, so I also know how to cook some Beijing cuisine."
Bai Shan slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Guan Shi Li.
Man Bao, who was distributing the fish, heard it, and couldn't help but "huh", looked back at Li Guanshi and said with a smile: "Li Guanshi specially found it for us?"
Li Guanshi then smiled and said: "My little one sees that Mr. and the young masters and ladies don't have a good appetite, so I wondered if the food here is not to my taste, so I went out for a walk today, and happened to see Mrs. He, she spoke with some accents The younger one felt kind when he heard it, but after asking, he found out that she is from Shu, and she can cook, so the younger one invited her here on his own initiative."
He said: "My masters are going to stay here for a period of time. You can't eat inns and restaurants all the time. The dishes here are just the same. Although each family's cooking may be slightly different, they are still the same."
He said with a distressed face: "This is too wronged the young master and the ladies. My little one sees that the young master and Miss Man have lost weight in the past two days."
Hearing that there were fish to eat, Nie Canjun, who wandered over to pick up the fish, couldn't help but look at Zhou Man and Bai Shan when he heard this.
And do they have a bad appetite
They ate together last night, probably because they hadn't eaten rice for a long time. Both of them ate two big bowls of rice last night, as much as him!
No, they still ate melons, fruits and snacks less than half an hour after the meal!
Nie Canjun twitched the corners of his mouth, looked away, and asked Bai Erlang, "You want to give us fish?"
Bai Erlang came back to his senses, pointed at the fish in the barrel generously and said, "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 and fish head."
Mr. Zhuang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly nodded and said, "This is not bad."
Sister He showed bitterness on her face, she squeezed her fingers tightly and said, "I can make tofu fish head, but I don't know how to make tofu."
Man Bao happily said: "If you don't know how to buy it, do you have to know how to grow rice if you can cook?"
Man Baole paused halfway, tilted his head and looked at Bai Shan in disbelief, "No way, there's no tofu here?"
Bai Shan carefully recalled the places he walked yesterday, "It doesn't seem to be there?"
Sister He said: "No, people here don't even grow beans very much, so there is no tofu."
"Beans are for horses," she said.
Man Bao thought for a while, and said with uncertainty: "I think I should."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhou Liru with some unconfidence. She knew the recipe. It was Man Bao who instructed Mrs. Zhou to make tofu for the first time. It's different with someone else.
Zhou Liru scratched his head, and said with certainty: "If there is brine, I will order tofu."
During the two years when my sister-in-law went to Yizhou, she and her two elder sisters helped to make all the tofu at home, not to mention that the second sister also went out later, and the eldest sister got married. Basically, she followed the eldest aunt to help, but...
"However, I can't guarantee the taste of the order."
Because making tofu is also a craft, her mother didn't learn it well back then, but she thought about letting her learn it well, and getting married in the future is also a craft. So she tried to order two pots of tofu. In the end, the tofu was ready, but in the end they all stayed at home to eat, and even gave a lot to the uncle's house.
Although everyone didn't say anything, Zhou Liru knew that the tofu she ordered was not very good.
But... whoever it is, anyway, I can eat it in the end. Didn't the two pots of tofu be eaten up at home in the end
She can make brine.
Man Bao turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang: "Sir, it's late today, at most we can only make brine, and the earliest time to eat tofu and fish head is tomorrow."
Mr. Zhuang didn't choose, "Okay, then tomorrow."
As soon as Sister He heard that she could stay, she breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to take the wooden barrel, and asked humbly, "What do you want to eat, sir and miss?"
After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhuang said: "Eat some vegetarian dishes, stir-fry some vegetarian dishes."
Recently, he either eats meat or dry food, his stomach can't bear it a bit.
The cook should go down.
Man Bao waved his hand and said, "I can do whatever I want, I like to eat, you can see how to do it, by the way, stewed rice, I want to eat rice tonight."
Bai Erlang on the side nodded several times, "Yes, stewed rice."
Bai Shan discussed with Li Guanshi, "Remember to buy some rice noodles when you arrive in Shazhou."
Manager Li agreed, and then introduced the other two people to them, "This is for helping the kitchen and cleaning the yard. If the masters have any washing things, they can also be handed over to them."
After all, there are still Miss Man and Miss Liru, so it is more convenient to have two maids.
They are not young, in their twenties, with high noses and deep eyes, they should be locals, they can speak simple Chinese, their clothes are a little better than Mrs. He's, but they are also pale from washing, and their hands and feet are not bad. Neatly, Bai Shan made the decision to keep them and let them clean the yard first, because they made a mess when they divided the fish just now.
Nie Canjun stood aside and watched the whole process, then turned around and asked Man Bao, "What is Mr. Zhou planning to do during this time?"
Twenty days is not a short time, so you can't sleep all the time, right
Man Bao smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will go fishing, but I still want to go to the Gobi."
Nie Canjun asked enthusiastically, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the scenery," Man Bao said, "I heard that there are some plants growing on the Gobi, which are not found in the Central Plains. I'll go and have a look."
The interest on Nie Canjun's face disappeared, and he felt that he was asking for nothing.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Master Zhou, isn't he going to visit the mayor of the town?"
Man Bao shook his head: "He was not appointed by the court, and I am not here on business, so I just want to be my guest, but if you want to join the army, you can go."
