The county government office is closed, and Yang and Shu have nothing to do these two days. When Man Bao and the others came to the door, he was playing the piano at home for fun.
As soon as he saw Man Bao and the others, he immediately waved and smiled and said, "You guys came just in time, I just feel like no one is talking to me."
The three ran up, and Yang and Shu sat in the open pavilion, but there was a brazier at their feet. Seeing Man Bao staring at his qin with bright eyes, they asked with a smile, "Want to learn?"
Man Bao nodded, Bai Erlang shook his head, but Bai Shanbao said, "I will."
"Oh?" Yang Heshu looked at Bai Shanbao, and said with a smile: "You should really learn temperament at your age. Your husband hasn't started teaching you yet?"
The three of them shook their heads together, Bai Shanbao said: "But my grandmother taught me, I just practice it occasionally."
Yang Heshu nodded, "It's good to learn some rhythms, and you can express your mood in your spare time."
Bai Shanbao blinked, but that's not what his grandmother taught him. What his grandmother said was that scholars know how to play musical instruments, otherwise they will be ridiculed when they go out in the future.
Yang Heshu became interested, so he simply started talking about the piano to them. After talking for a long time, he stopped and asked, "Why do you have time to come and play with me today?"
Bai Shanbao took the gift from Daji and said, "We even brought you a gift."
The three of them told Yang Heshu about their decision to eat all over the county, Yang Heshu looked at the three children, couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "It's really a rare childlike fun, what good things did you eat yesterday? "
The county is so big, even if there are more stalls and hawkers now, there is still not enough food for County Magistrate Yang who has lived here for a long time, so no matter what food they talk about, Yang and Shu have eaten it.
The four of them opened the gift box while discussing the food.
Seeing the pen holder inside, Yang Heshu was taken aback.
The three children were very proud and asked Yang Heshu, "Isn't it beautiful? There is only one pen holder in Luojiang County, and we spent a lot of money to buy it."
"..." Yang Heshu couldn't help asking, "How much did it cost?"
"It's expensive anyway," Bai Shanbao said, "It's enough for me to buy ten pen holders on weekdays."
Yang Heshu nodded, "That's quite expensive."
It's a pity that he doesn't appreciate it a bit
Yang Heshu stared at the childlike pen holder for a while, shook his head and laughed, and handed it over to his servant, saying, "Put it in the study."
The servant responded, and carefully carried the pen holder down.
Knowing that Manbao is going to set up a shop in the county, Yang and Shu are happy, "Your family's life is getting better now, can you buy a shop?"
"I bought it for my sister-in-law, but my father is reluctant to buy it." Man Bao told County Magistrate Yang verbatim what her father said, and said, "I reckon, if I don't save it for three to five years My father would not be willing to spend the money to buy a shop."
Yang Heshu laughed and said: "Your father's words are not wrong. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters in this world, and there are also sayings of good fortune and misfortune. It is always good to keep more cash at home. By the way, what is your sister-in-law's shop going to do with it? "
"Make food."
Yang Heshu clapped his hands happily, "I guess so, and I will definitely join in the show when the time comes."
Man Bao laughed heartily, "Master Yang, you also think that the food made by my sister-in-law is very delicious, don't you?"
Yang Heshu thought for a while and said, "It's not very delicious. I have eaten better food than your sister-in-law's, and I don't know how many, but your sister-in-law's taste is not bad. The most important thing is, I don't know how much it is. Why, eating makes people very happy."
Yang Heshu laughed and said: "It may also be because every time you eat, your family's food is delicious, and I feel that it tastes better when I look at it."
Yang and Shu had eaten at Lao Zhou's house twice, but they only went there because they wanted to buy wheat seeds from Lao Zhou's house.
To be honest, he still likes to eat the food made by Mrs. Qian.
Man Bao became proud, and said: "When the time comes, my lord will go, and I will ask my sister-in-law to make it cheaper for you."
Yang Heshu nodded with a smile, "OK."
The four of them chattered, and it was time for lunch. Yang Heshu generously asked them to stay for lunch together.
The kitchen has known for a long time that there will be guests today, so it went ahead and set up a table.
It's really that there are too few masters in the backyard, only Yang Heshu, and he has so many requirements, not only wanting more varieties, but also saving and not wasting. Every time the kitchen cooks for him, he has to think and think again, and he is almost bored to death.
So the kitchen is the favorite place for guests.
Once there are guests, they can cook more dishes, and they don't have to control the amount very much, so that they are tied up when cooking.
It is precisely because of this that Man Bao and the others like to eat at County Magistrate Yang's house the most. Not only is the food delicious, but the servants in the kitchen are also very enthusiastic.
Because of the companionship, Yang Heshu had a great appetite, and talked to them while eating, "The wheat seeds I bought with you this spring and this autumn have been distributed to all households. I ordered the farmers who received the wheat seeds to plant winter wheat. Unfortunately, the quantity is not much. Still a bit worse."
Man Bao said: "That's because the adults are too picky, and the rest of the wheat can also be used as wheat seeds. If you don't like the unselected wheat seeds, we will sell you cheaper."
Yang Heshu shook his head, "The wheat seed was mutated in your Qili Village, and it has not been planted in other places. It is better to be cautious. First, plant some for each household. If the yield is indeed high in the coming year, then buy a large amount. .”
Yang Heshu said with a smile: "So you don't pre-order all the wheat seeds to Master Bai."
Bai Erlang said: "My family's village has planted a lot of new wheat this year, and the yield is also very high. There is no need to buy wheat seeds outside."
Yang Heshu asked with a smile, "Then why is your father still robbing me of two incomes this year?"
Bai Erlang was about to speak, but Bai Shanbao secretly kicked him, and when he reached the point of his mouth, he stopped, blinked, and did not speak.
Yang Heshu didn't want his answer either, and just smiled at Man Bao: "I'd like to ask you to go back and talk to your father and the people in the village about this matter."
Man Bao looked at Bai Shanbao, nodded and said, "I'll tell you, Mr. Yang, in fact, it's not just our village who planted new wheat this year, there are also people in other villages who plant new wheat."
Yang Heshu nodded, "I know, that kind of seeds flowed out of your village. I have already checked. The harvests of the fields where new wheat is planted this year are indeed better than that of old wheat, but the range is still within Baimaguan Town, so we Not urgent."
"My father is not so particular," Bai Erlang was stepped on by Bai Shanbao, and even Man Bao, who was sitting next to Bai Shanbao and a space away from him, stretched out his foot and kicked him, Bai Erlang's eyes were filled with tears instantly, I am so wronged.
The movement under the third child's table was not big, but it was not small. Yang Heshu noticed it, and seeing Bai Erlang's tears in his eyes, he couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "I know, I know, but I'm different from your father. What he does is business, what I do is official duty."
So he has to be more careful.
