When the lid of the pot was opened, the rich aroma of meat swept in. Although there were not many seasonings, it was still very tempting to a family whose eyes were full of meat.
The two little ones could no longer control the saliva at the corners of their mouths and allowed it to pour down. Ye Wen, who was like a little adult, was not much better and subconsciously wiped the wet corners of his mouth.
Ye Yuan was about to feel better, so he directly picked up the chopsticks and said.
"I'll try it first to see if it's cooked!"
Well, this shameless glutton picked up a piece of chicken and quickly "tasted" it.
The three little ones suddenly had their throats rolling, and the two sisters Qiu'er and Dong'er looked at Ye Yuan eagerly, asking eagerly.
"Brother, are you familiar?"
"Brother, can you eat it?"
Ye Yuan smiled, took another piece, and blew it again, the aroma was even more enticing.
Mother Ye looked at it with a smile on her lips, and Ye Tingting couldn't help but frown: Just try one piece, but you can't continue to eat alone.
Ye Yuan suddenly stuffed the chicken into Qiu'er's mouth, who looked expectant, and said.
"You'll know if you try it yourself."
Qiu'er looked at Ye Yuan stupidly, watching him pick up another piece of chicken.
However, the smell of meat in her mouth woke her up, and she couldn't help but chew the tablets quickly.
Fragrant, so fragrant!
Delicious, so delicious!
Then, she saw that her eldest brother gave everyone a piece, and even her mother and eldest sister, who had never wanted it, were forced to get a piece.
At this time, the whole family was laughing, and it was a happy smile that they had never seen before.
At this moment, the small courtyard was extremely happy and lively. It lasted until I fell asleep. I could feel the satisfaction of having a full stomach, and there was an indescribable light joy in my heart.
The next day.
Ye Yuan didn't ask his eldest sister Ye Tingting to provide wake-up call service, and got up by himself.
There is no way, her wake-up service is not gentle. If she is in a bad mood, she will directly pull her ears to force the phone to turn on.
Ever since the first time he stayed in bed and was treated like this, Ye Yuan developed the "good" habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Of course, for this reason... the original person thought about marrying off his eldest sister more than once, so that no one would care about him.
In addition, she is already eighteen years old and is considered an old girl in this era. If she doesn't get married, she may not be able to get married.
However, after Ye Yuan arrived, he didn't feel such urgency.
After all, if the Ye family is really living well, there will be no problem in recruiting foreign wives, let alone getting married.
Moreover, at the age of eighteen, in future generations, he has just become an adult.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Ye Yuan saw the oil lamp burning in the kitchen.
Because they were poor, the Ye family seldom lit lamps at night. They always worked at sunrise and rested at sundown.
But today…
Ye Yuan walked into the kitchen and saw a thin girl cooking pancakes, with a faint aroma in the air.
"Is this... hot chicken?!"
Hearing the noise, Ye Tingting turned around. Although she had a straight face, she couldn't help but express concern in her tone.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ye Yuan held the stick in his right hand and said.
"Practice your sword skills!"
Sword skills?
Ye Tingting looked puzzled.
"Um?!!"
Ye Yuan explained with a smile.
"Don't we have basic knife skills at home?"
Recalling the past, she had never seen her brother practice, so she couldn't help but ask.
"You can understand?"
Ye Yuan said very confidently.
"This is the simplest martial arts, very easy."
Ye Tingting hesitated to speak. In the end, she did not express her opinion, which hurt Ye Yuan's self-confidence. She just said.
"Go and wash up. You can eat later."
"good."
After a while, Ye Yuan, who had practiced basic knife skills, had a slight layer of sweat on his body. After wiping himself off, he appeared in the kitchen.
You can eat it alone in the kitchen without the hassle of carrying it around.
On the stove, there is a bowl of chicken, two large pancakes, and a plate of pickles.
"Eat, you are going to the Yamen today, you must eat."
This is quite true.
When you go to work, you can't just take a rest when you're hungry.
The wind was blowing, and in less than five minutes, Ye Yuan had swept away all the food on the stove.
Well, I barely ate until I was seven-tenths of full.
Then, Ye Tingting began to clean up the mess.
Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"In the future, prepare more meals for each meal so that everyone in the family can have enough to eat."
Ye Tingting paused slightly. She was just about to teach him to save when she heard Ye Yuan continue.
"After all, I can already make money."
Yes, my brother will be a policeman soon and has grown up.
Ye Tingting finally realized this and said.
"Let's take a look first and then talk!"
Seeing this, Ye Yuan didn't try to persuade him any more, thinking that he should just speak with the facts. Once he made money, everything would be fine.
The morning light is faint and the weather is slightly cool. It is the best time in summer and suitable for sleeping.
However, for ordinary people, it is the best time to get up and work.
The streets and alleys of the capital were suddenly filled with smoke and white mist.
"Bang bang bang...Xiaoyuan..."
Ye Yuan heard the identity of the person and responded enthusiastically.
"Here we come, Uncle Qiu."
"Sister, I'm going to the Yamen!"
Ye Tingting nodded, intending to give a few more instructions, but she held back and did not speak.
After leaving the kitchen, Ye Yuan saw Ye's mother, she said with worry on her face.
"Son, please be safe and don't show off!"
"I know."
After saying that, Ye Yuan quickly opened the courtyard door.
Qiu Haining smiled at Ye Mu and Ye Tingting, did not go in, and then took Ye Yuan towards the Yamen.
At the same time, he did not forget to teach Ye Yuan earnestly along the way.
"Xiaoyuan, when you enter the yamen, you must remember that when you encounter beasts in costumes...that is, people wearing official uniforms, don't talk too much!"
"Well, I understand, Uncle Qiu."
"Also, if I'm not with you, you should be more vigilant. If someone asks you to do something beyond your ability, never agree..."
In this way, he kept getting useful information along the way, allowing Ye Yuan to truly understand the survival rules of low-level agents in the yamen.
In the final analysis, there is only one word...Gou!
Don't be aggressive in everything, only then can you live longer.
In addition, the policeman was not an official, but a "servant" hired by the government. He was of low status, and even his descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examination for the next three generations.
Even if I take off these clothes, it's still the same.
Because of Ye's father's identity, although the original person had learned a little bit of writing, he did not continue studying, and neither did Ye Wen.
Looking at it this way, being a courier doesn't seem like a good job.
In fact, this is not the case. After all, the police are backed by the government and have the support of the court. The people at the bottom are still very willing to be policemen.
As for the salary, although it is only about ten taels of silver per year, there are other gray incomes, such as management fees and protection fees.
However, due to the special location of Shuntian Mansion, there are too many people in the capital who cannot afford to offend, so the extra income for the police officers will not be much.
