During this period, the house behind the government office was completely tidied up.
The house is no longer ventilated, the kitchen has been cleaned up, the cabinets and cabinet doors have been repainted, and everything is clean and clear.
Baking mooncakes in such an environment makes you feel so comfortable.
There are two kinds of fillings in the mooncakes, five kernels and red bean paste.
Except for soybean oil and meat oil, everything else is produced by the Li family. The adzuki beans are cooked, pounded, peeled, and sugared one day in advance. Walnut kernels, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. are also prepared one day in advance, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Since the oven here was used for the first time, the heat control was not very good, so the first batch of mooncakes were a little hot when they came out. But this did not prevent the children from eating. Li Yue, Li Tian, and Li Huai ate deliciously.
, Shunxi and Shuangxi also ate several pieces.
I originally planned to skip cooking at noon and simply eat mooncakes for a bite. Who would have thought that the person who went out to exchange goods unexpectedly came back. When Cheng Xue heard the news, she thought she was hallucinating. After confirming it again, she put down what she was doing and talked to Sister Li Yue.
Brothers, please go out.
"Sister - look!" Li Heng raised the fiery red fur in his hand like a treasure.
Li Yuan looked red like fire, and it was particularly eye-catching. If you wear this in the snow, it will definitely be the most eye-catching. The three Li Yue siblings ran very fast, and Cheng Xue followed behind. Looking at the woolen materials in the hands of the two girls, to be honest, she
I want it too. It's a pity that her current age doesn't allow her to wear red or green anymore.
Bai Shao walked up to her in a few steps, held her arm affectionately, and said:
"Madam, we are lucky today. We met several Beiqi people selling firefox wool. It's really cheap. Twenty pounds of dried vegetables and fifty pounds of whole grains can be exchanged for two sheets. We exchanged six sheets in total, which is enough to give two
The young lady has made a cloak. The eldest young master returned it to the madam, and the master changed it into some sable skins. After this period of busy work, the servant will start making it."
Looking at the two carts full of wool, Cheng Xue touched this and pinched that. It felt really good.
"Mom, those Beiqi people who came to trade were so generous. They exchanged such good leather for food, and they didn't ask for much. We didn't even bargain with them, and the exchange was quick. If these things were shipped back to the capital, it would be terrible
I’ve made a lot of money.” Li Heng said while eating mooncakes.
The mooncakes were brought to him by Li Huai when he came out of the house. They were filled with five kernels and were fragrant and sweet.
Hearing this, Tiandong scratched his head and said with a naive smile:
"I didn't think much about it when I changed it. I waited until the villain reacted and wanted to increase the price, so I stopped rushing."
"Mom, you can't blame Tiandong for this. The main reason is that there is no caravan passing by today, so we can only fumble around." Li Heng helped explain, "I spent money to buy some of the common people in our city, so they didn't suffer any loss.
."
Cheng Xue has no doubt about this.
The children of the Li family have been sensible since they were young. In addition, she and Li Hui are able to guide, have upright views, and are warm-hearted.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. It's better than anything else if the things are not lost. Keep our share and send the rest to the warehouse. Once everything is replaced, it will be sent back to Wanghe Village."
Cheng Xue gave the order, and everyone started to move quickly. The back house is now made of copper and iron. There is no mole, and thieves can't get in. Even rats don't dare to come in because rat poison has been sprinkled around.
After dinner, Cheng Xue led people to bake two more mooncakes. Just after finishing, Li Hui and Yan Yixin came back from the Yamen. They usually make some food for them, and today there happened to be newly baked mooncakes.
Pair it with two bowls of hot oil tea noodles, which is fragrant and stomach-warming.
Seeing that Yan Yixin was almost finished eating, Li Yue asked softly:
"Brother Yixin, would you like some more?"
"No, I'm full." After Yan Yixin finished speaking, he turned to look at Cheng Xue and said, "Auntie, tomorrow morning I'll go to the porridge shop outside the city with Tiedan and Tangtang. Don't worry, everything is ready there.
alright."
"Do you have time tomorrow? I'm so busy, I won't bother you anymore."
"It's okay. I'll go to the Yamen after I'm done with the porridge. I've already agreed with my uncle." Yan Yixin responded with a smile.
When Cheng Xue saw Li Hui nodding, she simply stopped insisting. She told the children to rest early and asked Bai Wei to send Li Yue back to the room, and then she and Li Hui got up and left. Even though the two children had already tacitly understood each other, the two of them still knew each other.
It is still inappropriate to be alone in the middle of the night.
Returning to the east room and closing the door, Li Hui did not rush to change clothes. Instead, he sat on the Taishi chair under the window and held Cheng Xue in his arms.
"What's wrong? When you're tired, go to bed on the kang. How heavy is it to hold me in your arms?"
"Are you still heavy?" Li Hui disapproved, gently pinched her waist and said, "Those four spit."
Cheng Xue stared in surprise, doubting her hearing again. A full seven days had passed since the four people were brought down. Wen Tian and Yongxi took turns asking questions. She thought it would last three days at most, but she didn't expect...
Sure enough, the Deadpools trained by rich families are very good. And apart from training Gastrodia, they will not have another one.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to write something to impeach the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Liang Yan has always been a civil and military official with a clear distinction. Now that Lord Su has extended his hand so far, she believes that Li Hui will not tolerate it.
Who would have thought——
"It's not Old Su, it's Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Army - Gu Quanming!"
Gu Quanming, the second son of the Gu family in Beijing, is also the brother-in-law of the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Mrs. Gu. After the Marquis of Zhenbei left the north, Gu Quanming was responsible for everything in the military camp. It can be said that the relationship between the Gu and Su families is intricately linked.
, and all monarchs who are not fools must be on guard against this piece of fat in the Northern Territory.
Therefore, in line with the principle of "beating the old master to death with random punches", Li Hui was sent here. No matter what Qiu Hong and the four people vomited, as long as Li Hui handed over the words, Gu Quanming would have to leave.
Lord Su is determined to come back in a hurry, but the lamb who entered Beijing still wants to run away?
Cheng Xue looked at the old god Li Hui, smiled, tilted her head and leaned into his arms, and said no more.
The next second, he picked her up completely and placed her on the kang.
"My wife is tired, let's go to sleep."
Seeing that he was sleeping was a lie, but that he was noisy was true. I quickly pressed his hand and reminded him:
"Don't make trouble, you have to go to the Yamen early tomorrow."
Li Hui kissed her on the face, smiled evilly, and said:
"You have three days off on statutory holidays, don't you understand?"
"Shit, there are no laws here...well..."
Before Cheng Xue could finish her words, he was completely blocked and unable to make a sound.
After the clouds and rain in Wushan, Cheng Xue lay tiredly on the kang, closing his eyes and panting. Li Hui was like a satiated leopard, with one hand behind his head and a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law, I didn't lie to you when I told you three days. I really gave the government office three days' leave, but I have arranged for someone to be on duty for these three days. My rotation is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will be at home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"What about Yixin? He will be on duty tomorrow?"
"Yes, that's really smart." Li Hui kissed her as a reward, feeling secretly moved.
I have been busy since I arrived in the North. Recently, I have been so busy taking off to arrange a three-day holiday. I finally have a rest tomorrow, so I naturally have to treat myself...
