In the evening, Weiyang taught everyone how to make a small fish pot sticker. This was something she had eaten in a small village on the way here. There was no good food in the small mountain village. In order to save firewood when cooking fish, they would stick pancakes on the side of the fish pot. It was easy, worry-free and delicious.
This novel approach won unanimous praise from everyone.
They still had some dough of various colors that they had prepared at noon, so Wei Yang instructed You Lan to roll it into thin pancakes and put them in a pan to bake. Then Wei Yang spread out the baked pancakes, put bamboo shoots, vegetables and meat in it, spread some sauce on it, and then slowly rolled it up and handed it to Yan Gui.
"Try it."
There was a gleam of seeking credit in his bright eyes.
Yan Gui took it and took a bite in front of the girls. The chewy dough, crisp bamboo shoots, and fragrant vegetables mixed with the meat were really delicious.
Seeing Yan Gui's expression, the girls didn't hesitate and rolled up their sleeves to start making the pancakes themselves.
When Xiaocao brought the food box to the old general, there was only one bowl of small fish pot stickers and one bowl of fried fish slices. There was only one pancake left, with a few vegetable leaves, some bamboo shoots, and some shredded meat wrapped around it. Xiaocao had snatched it from Yan Xiaoyan for the old general.
The old general did not complain and finished the meal quickly, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
But my son said that Weiyang had injured her foot, so he hadn’t cooked for the past two days. Now that he is cooking again, he is very satisfied.
The daughters of the Yan family came every day, and then gradually their sisters, both big and small, came.
The days passed quickly like this, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year was over and it was already February.
The second day of February is the day when the Yanzhou military guards start school.
This is the second truly militarized school in Yanzhou, different from a private school.
Yan Gui was in a good mood. The school in Tuocheng had already started on the 18th day of the first lunar month. Many families, regardless of their wealth, sent their boys of school age to the school.
In Yanzhou, it is well known among the people that if you learn one more skill, you can live longer than others.
Not a single person hesitated, not a single family said our children didn’t need to go.
"General Yan, these are the students who registered today." Ding Wu handed the registration manual sent by the school today to Yan Gui.
On the first day, nearly two hundred people signed up, and these were from Yancheng and its surrounding areas. People from more remote areas had not yet received the news.
Yan Gui put down the list and fell into deep thought. If one relies on one's own strength, it is easy to set up such a guard post, but it is difficult to run it well.
Should he go to the capital to ask the emperor for some money
At this moment, Wei Yang was shopping with Yan Xiaoling and Yan Xiaoyan.
Yan Xiaoxia is pregnant, and Yan Xiaoli is accompanying her mother to burn incense today. Yan Xiaoyan is bored at home, so she asks Yan Xiaoling to go shopping with Weiyang.
"Aunt, have you heard that the daughter of the Zhou family has been engaged? She will be getting married on the sixth day of March." Passing by a clothing store, the three of them walked in. Seeing the wedding dress hanging on the side, Yan Xiaoling suddenly remembered this matter and said hurriedly.
"So soon?" Wei Yang just felt strange. She hadn't heard about it when she went to the banquet on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Because of her injured foot, she didn't go to the Song family's banquet on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Yan Xiaoyan pouted: "Why hurry up? It seems like she is going to marry far away in Liuzhou!"
"Why would you marry so far away?" Wei Yang asked curiously.
She came from the capital, passing through Liuzhou, and walked all the way through Liuzhou, so she naturally knew how far Liuzhou was from Yancheng. It was inevitable to wonder, with the status of the Zhou family, how could they marry their daughter so far away
