Chapter 510 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (33)
The only thing that occasionally makes Xu Yin feel anxious is that she still has no clue about the "legendary fragrance that amazes the world".
It seems that ordinary flowers cannot create this legendary fragrance, so we can only rely on flowers with special effects brought by Xiuzhen Small World Baiyuan.
The "Fantasy" and "Broken" that have been prepared so far have not broken through the achievements of the legendary fragrance, which shows that efforts are still needed.
Next year, she decided to focus more on the boutique breeding area at the top of Qunfang Mountain.
Zi Yuan and Hong Qian, who were taught by her step by step, are now able to use the perfume sold in the spice shop. From next year, they can make it freely.
It snowed early this year. A few days after the Laba Festival, heavy snowflakes began to fall, turning the mountains white overnight.
Some sections of the road were icy and the carriages were prone to slipping, so Xu Yin decided to spend the New Year in another courtyard this year.
She gave Xu Kui an early leave and asked him to return home to spend the New Year with her old housekeeper.
Xu Kui refused: "If the girl doesn't go back, neither will the young one! Stay here to spend the New Year with the girl!"
"Do I need someone to accompany me here?" Xu Yin glared at him, "If you still want to work with me next year, just listen to me!"
Xu Kui was so confused.
Xu Yin asked him again: "Are there any other family members here who are working in the government? If so, if you ask them to go back, they will not be deducted their monthly payment and will have an early holiday. It is hard to live in two places, so go back
Have a happy reunion year.”
"But girl..." Xu Kui was really worried, "There are fewer people on duty in other hospitals, could it be..."
"No!" Xu Yin knew what he was worried about, "Have you forgotten that I have a life-saving thing, girl?"
"Fantasy" and "broken" self-defense fragrance, single women deserve it!
Xu Kui couldn't win over the girl, so he had to take a few servants who also had family members working in the mansion to guard the courtyard and returned to the Xu Mansion.
The old housekeeper took a look: The girl has not come back, but you guys have come back?
He was so angry that his beard stood up: "You stinky boy! You left the girl alone in the deserted tea mountain and ran back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year? You really are there! I can't kill you!"
As he said that, he picked up a broom from the corner and chased Xu Kui to beat him.
Xu Kui explained while running away: "Dad! Dad, please calm down! It's not us who want to come back, it's the girl who insists on letting us come back. She said that if we don't listen to her, I won't be allowed to follow her next year..."
The old butler was tired of chasing, panting and stopped, and let out a long sigh.
When he sat down to talk to the cashier, he said: "The girl is kind-hearted. She can't go back because of the heavy snow. So she specially gave the boys an early vacation so that they can come back and spend the New Year with their families..."
Sikong was busy calculating accounts, and listened to the old butler talking a lot, all of them praising his master, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
I thought to myself, why don't you come back? Is it really because of the snow? Maybe you don't want to be fed like a big fat pig.
"But the other courtyard is so small, how can we celebrate the New Year?" The housekeeper didn't know what the accountant was complaining about, and was still worried about the master of the other courtyard, "The place is so remote, what kind of food can I buy? No! I have to give the girl some food.
Go! By the way, send the chef who is good at making pastries over..."
"..."
No one in another courtyard can escape your feeding!
Fortunately, Xu Kui stopped him in time: "Dad! Before I came back, the girl told me repeatedly not to give her anything. Because she was worried about the ice on the road and the carriage carrying heavy things, which could not run fast and would easily slip, she
Not going back home. We walked to the town and came back by bullock cart. If the cook goes, do we have to ask him to carry a lot of things from the town to the tea mountain? You think about it, girl?
You are a kind-hearted person, and you have told us in advance not to send anyone to deliver anything. You still ignore her wishes. Although you are concerned about the girl, from the girl's point of view, do you think that you are making your own decisions?
, you didn’t even listen to her words?”
"But..." The old housekeeper always felt that the girl should be left alone to celebrate the New Year in Chashan. Thinking of the desolate feeling, he felt aggrieved for the girl.
"Oh, Dad, don't be afraid! The girl also gave us a task. There will be a mourning ceremony in the house after the new year. Do the stained paint areas need to be refreshed? When guests come to the house, do they have to give a banquet? Banquet.
Have the venue and ingredients been prepared? You need to worry about everything!"
The old housekeeper listened and couldn't help but laugh: "You have been working as a shopkeeper with the girl for a few days. If nothing else, you are very good at instructing people and assigning work to others."
"Hey, hey, don't you dare! No one dares to instruct you, dad! I'll do it! I'll do all the work! I'll take care of it for you! Just rest, if you're bored, you can just chat with the accountant!
"
"You brat!" the old housekeeper laughed, stroking his beard.
…
Xu Yin has traveled through so many small worlds, and this is the first time she celebrates the New Year on a snow-capped mountaintop. It feels pretty good.
During the New Year holiday, she asked the nursing home to let the maids do whatever they wanted without having to watch over her.
She also gave herself a holiday. During this period, she was completely free and not busy with anything related to work. She cooked tea around the stove, roasted some chestnuts and sweet potatoes, and chatted with the maid and mother-in-law who were also warming their hands around the stove.
chat.
The water used to make tea is the snow water covering the tea trees. After it melts, if you smell it carefully, you can still smell a faint aroma of tea, which is perfect for making tea.
The chestnuts and sweet potatoes were sent by Zhuangzi below.
While eating, we chatted about the specialties of each village under the Xu Mansion.
The maid and the mother-in-law are all children from poor families, otherwise they would not be sold into slavery, so they are very interesting in talking about these topics.
"Girl, my servant Zhuangzi who grows chestnuts has been there. My hometown is there. On the mountains over there, in addition to the big chestnuts with lots of meat and the round chestnuts with round bottoms and pointed heads, there are also little thumb caps like my slave's.
Even smaller rice chestnuts have thin skin and tender meat. You can bite them directly into your mouth and spit out the residue..."
Xu Yin nodded. She knew that the rice chestnuts that Hong Qian described had been harvested and eaten in Forgotten Little World. Maybe there were still some in the system warehouse.
"Girl, I have been staying in Wanhua Village in the west of the city for half a year. It is far away from the mountains. There are hundreds of acres of high-quality farmland connected together. There is a long river surrounding the fields. There are many fish and shrimps in the river. The village outside the village
The children in the village always ran into the village and threw fish and shrimp baskets into the river when the village head was not paying attention. After playing for a long time, they went back and quietly brought the fish and shrimp baskets up. But there were also times when the village head discovered them.
Zhuangzi could hear the angry scolding of Zhuangtou."
Xu Yin asked curiously: "Are the fish and shrimps in the river stocked in the village?"
"That's not true. It was originally there in the river. However, after the old man bought that piece of land, it became the property of the Xu Mansion. People from outside did not dare to catch it even if they were greedy, so there were gradually more fish and shrimps in the river.
The children in the nearby village were greedy and would sneak in when the village head wasn't paying attention. The village head saw that they were all children, and apart from scolding them a few times, he didn't hold them back and send them to the official."
"The fish and shrimps in Zhuangzi are not only eaten by the people in Zhuangzi, but also delivered to the house, but they are not sold out?"
"No." The old woman recalled carefully, "The old man once said that the river water with fish and shrimps irrigated the fields and the crops grew better, so the farmer was reluctant to sell them, so he kept them all, and even opened the river mouth leading to outside the village.
, I set up a net so that if there are too many fish, they won’t be able to swim out.”
Xu Yin held up her forehead: "Then he has kept the filial piety in the house for the past two years? Then the river must not be infested with fish and shrimps?"
"I know about this." A nurse raised his hand, "My wife's uncle works in Wanhua Village. He said that there were too many fish and shrimps in the river. Before the twelfth lunar month, the village head took them to pick out the big ones.
I got up and dried a batch of dried fish and shrimps, saying that there was a filial piety in Kaichun Mansion, so I sent them to the girl to try."
Xu Yin: "..."
This Zhuangtou is really a real person!
I gave the old man a thumbs up in my heart: he has a unique vision! All the responsible persons chosen are loyal!
