When Mrs. Wu heard Wu Youcai reaching out to her for money again, her chest heaved and she pursed her lips for luck.
Stared at him coldly.
Wu Youcai was not frightened at all and looked very bachelor. He opened the purse hanging around his waist and showed it to Mrs. Wu. It was empty. He gave Mrs. Wu a flattering smile.
Mrs. Wu was afraid that he would go out and make noise, so she had to go in and get him a thousand taels.
"You also know that when my family sent me out, it was just a baggage. I didn't have any dowry. I finally saved up some money, but I can't stand you guys asking for it again and again."
Wu Youcai put the banknote into his wallet with a smile and patted it with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, sister, our family, me, and you are one. Only if you are better off than us can we be better off. My brother understands, don't worry."
Mrs. Wu watched him leave tiredly and took a deep breath.
The Wu family's brother-in-law came to the door. Something had been thrown in Wu's room, and someone quickly reported it to Mrs. Wang.
Wang's face was pale, and she took a few sips of tea.
He looked at Nanny Sun, who was waiting on the side: "How did you choose the girl I asked you to choose?"
"Go back to Madam, it's almost time. I've chosen four of them. They are fat and thin. Some are lively and lively, some are gentle and gentle, some are capable of writing poems and paintings, and some are dignified and generous."
Wang nodded: "Well, I can rest assured that you can handle the matter. Bring the person over and let me have a look, and have him sent to Wen Bi as soon as possible."
"yes."
After Grandma Sun left, Wang turned the Buddhist beads in her hand with a deep look in her eyes.
She was extremely dissatisfied when Mrs. Wu was given the title of Mrs. Hou. How could Mrs. Wu look like a Mrs. Hou? Not to mention whether she was worthy of the post or not, her natal family alone was not worthy of much use. They were all members of the same family.
Lagging behind.
Not even a speck of mud was shaken off from my thighs.
How can I help the noble concubine?
Why did she take Mrs. Wu with her that day? Whenever Mrs. Wang wanted to come, she regretted it with all her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught by Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wang exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the beads in her hand spun quickly.
Before sunset, the fleet transporting grain passed Gaoyou Pier, but it was also unable to dock or stop, and was moving forward rapidly.
It wasn't until the last ray of light sank to the bottom of the river that the escort officers stopped the ships.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu had already taken advantage of the daylight to prepare dinner.
When He Feng came to pick it up by boat, a handful of food, chicken, duck, and river fresh food were handed to him one by one.
Then he gave him a special portion: "Brother He, I said I would prepare delicious food for you this morning. This is specially prepared for you."
He Feng was a little surprised. He had forgotten about it and thought it was just a casual comment by the child.
Without refusing, he took it and put it on the boat. He nodded to Huo Xi, took out a purse and handed it over.
"Get the wine and snacks ready. I'll return the rice bowl and pick it up later."
"Okay, we will definitely prepare it." Huo Xi did not refuse and accepted it generously.
It wasn't until they watched He Feng leave that everyone dared to tease Huo Xi: "Boy Huo, what good things have you made for adults? Give us a bite too?"
"Okay, you can also pay money like adults, and I will definitely prepare a share for you."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Who would have thought that the adults who escorted and led the transportation would eat the fishermen's food and pay them back. Aren't those officials always eating and taking away the food and wiping it clean?
Gee, that’s really strange.
Huo Xi ignored everyone's joking and turned around and entered his cabin.
At this moment, everyone stopped the boat for dinner. The Huo family was also eating. Yang Fu first gave Yu Jiang a portion, and then he and Huo Erhuai and Huo Xi set up a square table to have dinner together.
Huo Xi poured out the broken silver from her purse while eating, and the three of them stared at it intently.
"Wow, we got a total of five taels today! Including yesterday's four taels, we got nine taels from selling wine and rice to the adults in these two days." Huo Erhuai was very happy.
"Dad, you forgot that we sold wine to everyone last night, and we got a lot of money."
Huo Erhuai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes. Dad forgot about it. If we sell some more wine tonight, I think we can still get one or two."
It’s great. I’ve earned some extra money along the way. I’ve even earned some extra money to pay the guys at Taoyedu to help carry the goods. Not only do I not have to pay for it myself, but I’ve also recycled a lot of it.
The rice that Huo Erhuai put into his mouth felt extremely sweet.
"Brother-in-law, we don't have much wine."
"Ah, there's not much left?" What will be sold tomorrow? Huo Erhuai was a little anxious when he heard that he couldn't make money by selling wine.
"Dad, you forgot, we can go to Huai'an at noon tomorrow. It's better to sell short tonight. We will just collect some wine from Huai'an and go back to sell it tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, dad has forgotten about it."
That's great, I'll be in Huai'an tomorrow.
He Feng took the food back, and people from the whole boat gathered around him.
After eating the hot food made by the Huo family for two days, who would still want to eat the tasteless cold food? Even Lu Huai said something good about the Huo family from time to time.
"Let me see what's delicious tonight!"
Lu Huai opened the wooden basin, looked at the dishes, and swallowed.
"Sir, I'll call you first." Lu Huai wanted to show off in front of hundreds of adults.
He Feng interrupted: "You go ahead and beat yourselves. That boy said that in order to thank you, you made another delicious meal for you." He Feng gave Yan Baihu the food Huo Xi made specially for him.
The kid didn't understand how he could enjoy the delicious food to himself when adults were around.
"Oh, what is it?" Yan Baihu became interested.
Seeing everyone gathered around, He Feng slowly opened the food.
"Fried rice? I heard that Yangzhou is very famous for making fried rice. I heard that it was made in order to give travelers a convenient and portable meal on the ship to solve the problem of soup and water. Then the fried rice was gradually made.
Reputation. This kid can actually do it? Hey, even mixed with crab powder?"
Yan Baihu smelled it and it smelled good! A smile appeared on his face.
He Feng smiled and said: "That boy was looking at the archway of Guazhou Pier with his eyes fixed on it. He must have wanted to go ashore to see the excitement. So he made Yangzhou fried rice. I don't know where I heard about it."
Recalling what Huo Xi told everyone about crossing the lock, he added: "My lord, I don't know that he told the boatman about crossing the lock and he spoke clearly and clearly. I don't even know the inner secrets, but he knows it clearly."
"Oh?" Yan Baihu was very interested.
He Feng told Yan Baihu what he heard from Huo Xi.
Yan Baihu laughed after hearing this: "Who said that a fisherman boy doesn't know anything other than fishing? He is very knowledgeable."
He Feng also felt that the child had extraordinary experience. When he saw that the fried rice was cooked for more than one person, he was even more appreciative.
I opened another meal and was stunned.
"Hey, is this a dish made with crab powder?" The rice fried with crab powder just now was not very conspicuous, but in this dish, the color combination is beautiful, and the crab powder looks very conspicuous.
If Huo Xi were here, he would tell them that this dish is called "Crab-flavored Shrimp Stewed with Seasonal Vegetables" and it is delicious.
Yan Baihu's appetite increased and he couldn't help but swallow.
"Let me give it a try." He took a spoonful and put it into his mouth to chew.
Seeing everyone staring at him, he nodded: "Fresh, fragrant and delicious!"
Everyone's throats rolled, "Sir, give us a bite."
Yan Baihu looked at the general flags and small flags under his men. He would rely on them in the future, and he said generously: "Everyone should try it."
When everyone heard this, they started to scream quickly when they took down their chopsticks.
"It's delicious!" I still want to eat it!
But with one chopstick and one spoon per person, most of the food was gone. A hundred households saw that they were almost out of food. They did not dare to take any more.
I only envy He Feng's luck. Why don't the ships they manage treat them like this?
