The county government office was closed, and Yang Heshu had nothing to do these two days. When Manbao and the others came to visit him, he was playing the piano at home for fun.
As soon as they saw Manbao and the others, they immediately waved and said with a smile, "You guys came just in time. I just felt like there was no one to talk to me."
The three of them ran up. Yang Heshu was sitting in the open pavilion, but there was a brazier at his feet. Seeing Man Bao staring at his piano with bright eyes, he smiled and asked, "Want to learn?"
Man Bao nodded, Bai Erlang shook his head, but Bai Shanbao said: "I can."
"Oh?" Yang Heshu looked at Bai Shanbao and said with a smile: "You should indeed learn music at your age. Your husband hasn't started teaching you yet?"
The three of them shook their heads together, and Bai Shanbao said: "But my grandmother taught me, I just practice it occasionally."
Yang Heshu nodded, "It's good to learn some music, so you can express your mood in your spare time."
Bai Shanbao blinked, but that's not what his grandmother said when he taught him. What his grandmother said was that scholars should know how to play musical instruments, otherwise they would be ridiculed when they go out in the future.
Yang Heshu became interested and simply started to play the piano to them. After talking for a while, he stopped and asked, "Why do you have time to come and play with me today?"
Bai Shanbao took the gift from Daji and said, "We also brought you a gift."
The three of them told Yang Heshu about their decision to eat all over the county. Yang Heshu looked at the three children and couldn't help laughing, saying happily: "It's such a rare childishness. What good things did you eat yesterday?"
"
The county is so big, even if there are more stalls and hawkers now, there is still not enough food for County Magistrate Yang who has lived here for a long time, so no matter what food they talk about, Yang and Shu have eaten it.
The four of them opened the gift boxes while discussing the food.
Yang Heshu was startled when he saw the pen holder inside.
The three children were all very proud and asked Yang Heshu, "Does it look good? This is the only penholder in Luojiang County, and we spent a lot of money to buy it."
"..." Yang Heshu couldn't help but ask: "How much did it cost?"
"It's expensive anyway," Bai Shanbao said, "It's enough for me to buy ten pairs of pen stands on weekdays."
Yang Heshu nodded, "That's quite expensive."
It's a pity that he can't appreciate it a little bit?
Yang Heshu stared at the childlike penholder for a while, shook his head and laughed, handed it to his servant and said, "Put it in the study room."
The servant responded and carefully took the pen holder down.
Knowing that Manbao was going to buy a shop in the county town, Yang Heshu was happy, "Your family's life is getting better now. Can you buy a shop?"
"I bought it for my sister-in-law, but my father couldn't bear to buy it." Man Bao told Magistrate Yang verbatim what her father said, saying: "I estimate that if I don't save for three to five years,
My father will not be willing to use the money to buy a shop."
Yang Heshu then smiled and said: "Your father's words are not wrong. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters in this world, as well as blessings and misfortunes. It is always good to have more cash at home. By the way, what do you plan to use your sister-in-law's shop for?
"
"Make food."
Yang Heshu clapped his hands and said happily, "I guess so. I will definitely go to support you when the time comes."
Man Bao then laughed heartily, "Mr. Yang, you also think the food cooked by my sister-in-law is particularly delicious, don't you?"
Yang Heshu thought for a while and said: "It's not very delicious. I have eaten better food than your sister-in-law's cooking, and I don't know how many. But your sister-in-law's cooking tastes not bad. The most important thing is, I don't know why.
, it’s very enjoyable to eat.”
Yang Heshu laughed and said, "Maybe it's because your family's food tastes sweet every time we eat it, and I feel it tastes better just by looking at it."
Yang and Shutong had dinner at Lao Zhou's house twice, and they only went there because they wanted to buy wheat seeds with Lao Zhou's family.
To be honest, he still likes to eat the food cooked by Xiao Qian.
Man Bao became proud and said: "When the time comes for you to go, I will ask my sister-in-law to calculate a cheaper price for you."
Yang Heshu smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The four of them were chattering and it was time for lunch. Yang Heshu graciously asked them to stay and have lunch together.
The kitchen had known for a long time that there were guests today, so they quickly prepared a table.
There are really too few backyard masters, only Yang Heshu has a lot of requirements. He wants a lot of variety, but also needs to be economical and not wasteful. Every time the kitchen prepares food for him, he has to think over and over again, which is almost annoying him to death.
So the kitchen is where guests like to come most.
As soon as they have guests, they can cook more dishes, and they don't have to control the quantity so much that they are tied up when cooking.
It is precisely because of this that Man Bao and the others like to eat at Magistrate Yang's house the most. Not only is the food delicious, but the servants in the kitchen are also very enthusiastic.
Yang Heshu had a great appetite because he had someone to accompany him. He talked to them while eating, "The wheat seeds I bought from you this spring and this autumn have been delivered to each household. I have ordered the farmers who received the wheat seeds to plant winter wheat. Unfortunately, the quantity is not large, so it's still
A little worse."
Man Bao said: "That's because you are too picky. The rest of the wheat can also be wheat seeds. If you dislike the wheat seeds that have not been selected, we will sell them to you cheaper."
Yang Heshu shook his head, "The wheat seed was mutated in your Qili Village and has not been tried in other places. It is better to be cautious and plant some in each household first. If the yield is really high next year, then we can purchase a large amount."
."
Yang Heshu smiled and said: "So don't pre-order all the wheat seeds for Mr. Bai."
Bai Erlang said: "I have planted a lot of new wheat in my farm this year, and the yield is also very high. There is no need to buy wheat seeds from outside."
Yang Heshu asked with a smile, "Then there will be two harvests this year, why are your father still trying to rob me?"
Just as Bai Erlang was about to speak, Bai Shanbao kicked him secretly. When he reached his mouth, he paused, blinked and said nothing.
Yang Heshu didn't want an answer from him. He just smiled at Man Bao and said, "I'd like you to go back and talk to your father and the people in the village about this matter."
Man Bao looked at Bai Shanbao, nodded and said: "I will tell you, Mr. Yang, in fact, our village is not the only one planting new wheat this year, there are also people in other villages."
Yang Heshu nodded, "I know that that kind of wheat flows out of your village. I have already checked. This year, the harvest of the new wheat fields is indeed better than the old wheat, but the range still does not extend beyond Baimaguan Town, so we
No rush."
"My father is not so particular." Bai Erlang was stepped on by Bai Shanbao. Even Man Bao, who was sitting next to Bai Shanbao and one seat away from him, stretched out his foot and kicked him. Bai Erlang instantly had tears in his eyes.
Extremely aggrieved.
The movement under the table of the three children was not big, but not too small. Yang Heshu woke up and saw tears in Bai Erlang's eyes. He couldn't help laughing and said happily: "I know, I know, but I am different from your father.
What he does is business, and what I do is official."
