A golden light flashed across the corner of Yu Hang's eyes, and he looked intently, it turned out to be the little yellow cat raised by the younger sister. When did this guy come here? Running wildly in the melon field like this, will it hurt the melon seedlings? But if you take a closer look, the kitten is very clever and only picks up the ridges and runs and jumps, without touching the melon vines and melon seedlings at all.
A scoop of water with a touch of aura was poured into the melon field, and the melon seedlings stretched their leaves in the breeze, as if they were trying their best to grow, and the small young melons seemed to grow when no one was paying attention. quietly grew up a little...
It wasn't until almost noon that the three-acre melon field was watered again. The brother and sister walked towards the house with an empty bucket.
When they arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, they found that the Zhao family was very deserted, surrounded by many villagers at the gate. Uncle Zhao's family lives far away from the village, and rarely interacts with the villagers. His house has always been very clean, why today...
Is something wrong? Brother and sister Xiaocao looked at each other, then ran towards Zhao's house quickly. When I came outside the stone wall of the Zhao family, I heard the surrounding villagers discussing with great interest:
"Wow! Did you see that? That's the imperial decree!! The imperial decree in the play!! It's a pity that it's too far away, so I can't see what the imperial decree looks like!"
"I didn't expect Lao Zhao to be a great general of the former court! Do you know the official who often comes to his house these days? That's his apprentice! He's a senior official of the imperial court!!"
"Didn't you hear from the imperial decree that the emperor cherishes talents and loves talents, and wants Lao Zhao to return to be an official. What did you entrust him with? I didn't remember?"
"General Zhen Guo!! Let him be made a great general!! Tsk tsk, the Zhao Liehu family will be in trouble in the future!"
"Isn't that right! The Zhao family is going to enjoy the blessings in the capital!!"
"The one who announces the decree has no beard, is he the eunuch mentioned in the drama?"
"Shh... you don't want to die?! Those father-in-laws hate people calling him 'eunuch' the most. If he hears about it, they will be beheaded!"
…
When Yu Xiaocao heard this, she was completely relieved. Grandpa Zhao finally guarded the clouds and saw the moonlight! In the past, when she came to Zhao's house, she would inadvertently see Grandpa Zhao staring into the distance in a daze, with a very disappointed expression.
A suit of literary and martial arts, sold by the emperor's family. Thinking about it, although Grandpa Zhao lived in seclusion for thirty years, he is not willing to be ordinary! Fortunately, the current emperor is a wise king who can appoint people on their merits. From now on, Grandpa Zhao and Uncle Zhao should be able to shine in their positions...
"Hey! That little girl? Stop!!" Just as Xiaocao turned around and was about to leave, a loud voice stopped her from behind.
Yu Xiaocao looked around, she seemed to be the only girl around. Could it be that she was called? Who
"Yes! It's you!!" A sound of footsteps came from behind and soon came to her. With a gray beard, a white and fat face, an old man with a red face looked at her enthusiastically with a smile.
"Fifth... Fifth Master?" Yu Xiaocao recognized him, looked at his simple attire in coarse cloth, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Come here if you want!" The Supreme Emperor put his hands behind his back, looked around, his eyes were full of greenery, and even the air seemed to be fresher, so he smiled, "Here, Tao is a good place to retire!"
Yu Xiaocao's head was full of black lines, and she thought to herself: You are always idle, you don't wear fine silk and satin, you have to wear coarse cloth clothes with patches; place to hang out. How can anyone see this poor country as a good place to retire
"You... didn't you come here with the imperial envoy who announced the decree?" Yu Xiaocao asked casually when she saw that he was coming from the Zhao family.
The Taishanghuang laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood: "I heard... I heard that Director Shi went to Dongshan Village to announce the decree. I thought it happened to be on the way, so there would be someone to take care of me on the way. So we came together!"
"By the way? Why do you always come to Dongshan Village?" Yu Xiaocao hugged the little golden cat and gently stroked its smooth hair.
The Supreme Emperor smiled even wider, looked at her with squinted eyes, and looked at Xiaocao's heart in a frenzy, and then said: "Of course I came to find you!"
"Looking for me?" What are you looking for her for? Could it be that she thought it was worthless to spend three hundred taels of silver on the recipe for her stewed vegetables, and wanted to escape back? Thinking about it, this fifth master neither does business nor buys and sells, so spending three hundred taels to satisfy his appetite is indeed a bit extravagant!
The Supreme Emperor smiled at her pretending to be mysterious, waved his hands at her, and said: "Go, talk while walking!" Then he walked towards Xiaocao's house.
Hey! It seems that she really came prepared, and even asked where her home is! However, her family didn't have that much cash. The seller's money and later earnings were all invested in the wharf shop on Wednesday.
The Supreme Emperor paced ahead, and Xiaocao followed behind like a little follower. Behind them are Yu Hang and the followers of the Supreme Emperor.
As soon as Yu Hai went out, he saw a group of people approaching in a mighty way. Taking a closer look, isn't it his little girl walking in the crowd
"Xiaocao... who is this? Yo! Isn't this the fifth master? Why are you here?" Yu Hai also recognized the old man walking in front at this time, and rushed forward to greet him.
The Supreme Emperor sternly slapped his face, and said in a rather displeased tone: "Is the Lord very old? Xiaoyu, honest people can't speak, and they will offend many people! The Lord is very angry!! See what to do!!"
Yu Hai knew that the person in front of him had a lot of background, so if he accidentally touched his bad luck, he might do something to a commoner like them! Even if someone moves his little finger, it is not something he can bear. For a moment, Yu Hai froze in place at a loss, not knowing what to say!
"Fifth Master, don't bully my dad, an honest man!! Tell me, what kind of food you want to eat, as long as we can afford the ingredients, we will make it for you. Let me tell you first, I can only cook home-cooked food, Don't give me Buddha jumping over the wall, abalone, wings and belly, etc. I am a little peasant girl, with little experience, so I don't know how to do it!" Yu Xiaocao thinks that she is somewhat sure about food.
Sure enough, her rude words did not offend Fifth Master, a distinguished guest in Beijing, but laughed loudly and said, "Young girl Xiaocao, you have a temper with me!! Then Fifth Master, I will not be polite—I want to eat Pork head meat! I also want spicy fried fatty intestines, shredded tripe in red oil, and I want to eat duck blood vermicelli soup... "
The Taishanghuang was very rude and ordered a lot, and they all fit the category of home cooking that Xiaocao said. But the duck blood vermicelli soup at the end made it difficult for Xiaocao.
"Fifth Master, duck blood is easy to make, but fans, where do you want me to find it? Let's replace it with duck blood tofu soup, will it work?" Yu Xiaocao has already confirmed the identity of Fifth Master at this time.
He is over fifty years old, tall and strong, and he can tell at a glance that he has been in the army, and he can wear the bright yellow that symbolizes the royal family. Most importantly, he knows the dish "duck blood vermicelli soup"! Fifth Lord is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Supreme Emperor! Alas, the Ming Dynasty was too small to allow two traversers to meet just like that.
However, I don't know if the Supreme Emperor knows her origin, can she be fooled? Yu Xiaocao pretended to have a sad face, and whispered: "Fifth Master, other dishes are easy to talk about. This duck blood vermicelli soup... what are vermicelli? Where can I buy it?"
"Don't be sloppy with me! You little girl is playing with me, and you are still tender! Others don't know what this fan is, but you still don't know? I don't care, 'Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup' is definitely for me! !" The Taishanghuang took a big stride, walked into Yu's yard with great vigor, and sat down on the reclining chair in front of the house.
Seems like it can't be avoided, Yu Xiaocao sees that the Supreme Emperor has no intention of performing a "folk meets fellow" drama, so naturally she won't mention it. She wrinkled her face and said, "Fifth Master! I only know that fans are made of sweet potato flour, but I've never made it before. I don't know how to do it..."
The Supreme Emperor was rocking comfortably on the recliner, his eyes were narrowed into slits, but he insisted in his mouth: "Come on! You can cook roast chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus duck, and you can't be a fan? Who are you kidding? Keep talking, I will Punish your father for the crime of disrespect and send him to prison. Hmph!"
Facing the unreasonable old urchin-like Supreme Emperor, Xiaocao really had no choice. Looking at the terrified father and mother who didn't understand the situation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Fifth Master! Don't scare us honest people. My parents are cowardly, so I can't help but scare them!"
After a pause, he continued: "Fans probably won't be able to eat today! Because the process of making vermicelli is too troublesome, they won't be able to make them in a while. There are also stewed pig's heads, fatty intestines and pork belly, which are all sold at the wharf. If you want to eat, you have to wait until night!"
"Okay! Fifth Lord, I'm not unreasonable. Then just eat something casually at noon, and I'll wait for a big meal in the evening!" Taishang Huang raised Erlang's legs comfortably on the recliner, and suddenly added another sentence , "Why don't you get a rocking chair. The warm sun is shining, and the rocking chair is rocking. I don't know how comfortable it is!"
Dinner at night? Won't the Supreme Emperor go back to town at night? How can Dongshan Village hold his big Buddha? Yu Xiaocao looked at the commander of the guards next to the Supreme Emperor: Don't you know how to persuade
The head of the guards pretended not to see Xiaocao's gaze, and with a cold face, he stood behind the Supreme Emperor and protected him closely. In fact, his heart was utterly devastated: if he could choose, he would rather his master stay in Beijing honestly, that was the safest place in the entire Ming Dynasty.
But his master always likes to run around, the remnants of the previous dynasty are not clear, how dangerous it is outside! Are you still staying overnight in this small mountain village? The master is afraid that he will be too free, so he will give him a problem! It's a pity that Director Liu is staying in Beijing. If he follows, he may be able to persuade him a few words. As for these guards, they can only stand aside!
Yu Xiaocao hid in the kitchen with a broken face, Liu took her hand and asked softly the identity of the people in the yard. Xiaocao didn't dare to reveal the real identity of Master Wu, for fear of frightening her parents, she only said that she was a distinguished guest in the capital, and even the magistrate of the county had to be courteous.
