Chapter 44 Follow me and eat meat.
The three of them acted in unison, and they all couldn't wait to take a bite.
Aunt Zhang behaved more elegantly. As a relatively respectable nanny in the house, she could still eat meat regularly. However, the two long-term workers were different. In previous years, they ate more when their schedules were good. In the past two years, I only eat meat during the New Year and holidays.
I thought eating meat would be a happy enough thing, but when they tasted the taste, all three of them were amazed, and this time even Grandma Zhang was no exception.
This is different from what they eat elsewhere!
How can this meat be so delicious?
The three of them immersed themselves in cooking the rice. After the meat was finished, the rice mixed with the broth was also indescribably delicious.
The three of them ate quickly in the first half, but then ate extremely slowly in the second half.
It's fast because it's so delicious that I can't help but take one bite after another. It's slow because it's so delicious that I want to taste more and don't want to lose it after a few bites.
When they finished eating, the two long-term workers were embarrassed to finish their words. Nanny Zhang couldn't help but ask Wei Ruo: "Miss, is this meat made in the kitchen? How come it's so delicious?" "
This is made by Xiumei. ." Wei Ruo replied.
"Miss Xiumei's cooking skills are so good!" Grandma Zhang couldn't help but praise her, and at the same time, she looked at Xiumei with something new in her eyes that wasn't there before.
From the first time she met Xiumei, Grandma Zhang had disliked her because she was a maid hired by the He family for Wei Ruo. She stayed in the countryside with Wei Ruo and had no education. She was far inferior to those of them who came out of the school captain's mansion. of.
I didn’t expect this girl to have such abilities! It seems that these country people are not all unruly and short-sighted, but they are also somewhat powerful!
Xiumei couldn't help but smile when she felt the amazement in Nanny Zhang's eyes when she looked at her.
This was the first time she saw Nanny Zhang, who looked at people through her nostrils, showing such an expression to her!
Wei Ruo said to Granny Zhang and the two long-term workers: "Lunch is just one aspect. As long as you follow me and work hard, and complete the tasks I assigned you successfully, I will not treat you badly." At this time, one of the long-term workers, Agui
, Finally I couldn't help it anymore: "Do you mean, Miss, that we will provide us with such delicious lunch in the future?"
"Not only lunch, but also other welfare benefits." Wei Ruo promised.
"Miss, don't worry, we will follow you!" Agui quickly expressed his stance to Wei Ruo.
"Me too!" Xiaoba, another long-term worker, hurriedly agreed.
Even though it was just a meal, it was very rare for them. Although they didn't know what other preferential treatment Wei Ruo mentioned, it was enough to make them work harder for Wei Ruo.
Aunt Zhang didn't say anything. Although she thought the food given by Wei Ruo was delicious, she was not so shallow-minded that she would not change her view of the eldest lady just for a meal.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiumei came over and handed Nanny Zhang a small cloth bag.
At the same time, Agui and Xiaoba were given a pack each. Each pack was of the same weight and felt quite substantial in their hands.
Aunt Zhang curiously opened the cloth bag, saw the food inside, and asked, "Is this the dried sweet potato that the eldest lady gave to all the ladies to eat before?"
Aunt Zhang heard about this, and it is said that she won everyone's approval. It was unanimously praised, but she had never seen what the real thing looked like.
"Well, yes, this stuff is easy to store and filling. You can eat it when you are hungry or take it home to your children to try." Wei Ruo said.
Out of curiosity, Agui and Xiaoba took a piece and tasted it carefully.
Neither of them spoke, but judging from their expressions, they liked and enjoyed dried sweet potatoes very much. For low-class people like them, sweets are a very luxury item, so their reaction is greater than that of ordinary people.
Grandma Zhang looked at it for a while, and there was nothing special about its appearance. It was not as attractive as those exquisite pastries. But driven by curiosity, I also took a few bites.
Although the reaction was not as big as that of the two long-term workers, they still showed their liking.
Nanny Zhang, who had just complained in her heart that she would not easily change her attitude towards Wei Ruo just for a meal, now started to waver because of a pack of dried sweet potatoes.
The eldest lady seems to be really generous to those of them who work with her...
The three of them only ate one piece and didn't eat more. First, the lunch given by Wei Ruo was very large and they were full. Second, they all want to keep it and take it home to their families to try.
After lunch, everyone continued to work, and this time the two long-term workers obviously had to work harder.
They were not lazy before, but just did their duty. Now Wei Ruo gave them the motivation to work harder, and their spirits were different.
###
Not far away, there was another group of people who, like Wei Ruo, came out of the South City Gate.
Chu Lan's eyes swept across the desolate south of the city. He thought everything was as desolate and desolate as he thought, but he didn't expect to see a few figures in the middle of the empty wasteland.
"What's going on?" Chu Lan asked his men.
"Back to Your Highness, this group of people belongs to Wei Xiaowei's family. They say they are trying to plant wasteland. If it succeeds, they can lead the people in the city to plant here after the war improves. This matter has been approved by Magistrate Qian. ." The attendants who followed reported to Chu Lanhui.
As Chu Lan's follower, when Chu Lan visits a place, he will investigate some basic conditions of the place in advance.
"A member of the Wei family?" Chu Lan asked in surprise, "When did the Wei family know how to do such a thing? It's not something that that family can do." Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "Your Highness, it looks like
this The Wei family still gives people a lot of surprises. Last time it was calligraphy, and this time it is land reclamation."
Chu Lan did not refute Lu Yuhong's words, her eyes still stayed on the Wei family's land reclamation people, and asked: "Who is commanding over there? Who is he?"
After looking at him carefully for a while, the subordinates who followed him made a guess: "Maybe it's the eldest lady of the Wei family who just returned home."
"The young lady who just returned home?" Chu Lan was a little curious.
"The Wei family claimed that he was raised in the countryside due to poor health and was brought back recently." The subordinate replied.
"You have been raised in the countryside, so you are good at farming, right?" Chu Lan asked.
"It is said to be so." The subordinate replied.
Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "The lady from the Earl's Palace who grew up in the countryside and is proficient in farming is a bit novel." "You have
to see what kind of crops she can grow to know whether she is proficient or not. People who don't know how to work in the fields are called proficient." Chu Lan had reservations about this matter.
"That's true, results only count. In comparison, the Four Treasures Palace is more interesting." Lu Yuhong said.
Although he was politely rejected when he asked the shopkeeper last time, Lu Yuhong was still thinking about Sibaozhai and always thought it was a good opportunity to make money.
After stopping briefly, Chu Lan led everyone in the direction of Wangyue Mountain without attracting too much attention from this little episode.
