The girl who wears fast

Chapter 1298 The Daughter Abandoned While Escaping (10)

Aunt Ye is Chang Shichu's hired servant, she is good at cooking, especially light Cantonese cuisine, salt-baked chicken is also a kind of Cantonese cuisine, she heard that Chang Shichu wanted to eat salt-baked chicken, so she put the two together A live chicken was killed.

So when Wei Yu'an came back from the rice store, he smelled a strong chicken aroma, which went straight from his nose to his lungs.

His eyes were astonishingly bright, and he even lost the calmness he pretended to be imitating Chang Shichu. He jumped and rushed home, shouting as he ran, "Aunt Ye! What delicious food did you make today? It smells so good." what!"

He had been a little beggar for several years, and suffered from sequelae of starvation. The most unbearable thing was the smell of all kinds of delicacies.

"Xiao An, are you back? The boss bought two chickens, and I made salt-baked chicken. It will be a blessing to eat at night." Aunt Ye replied with a smile.

Wei Yu'an slipped into the kitchen, took several deep breaths of the rich fragrance, and said with a happy face: "The most correct thing I did was to follow the master."

Chang Shichu came out of the study, heard his words, and couldn't help joking, "I think you think that because Aunt Ye cooks delicious food?"

"Where is it? I really feel that the luckiest thing for me is to be promoted by you, otherwise I am a little beggar and I would still be hungry in Shangzhao City." Wei Yu'an said very sincerely.

"Okay, okay, your mouth is the sweetest." Chang Shichu poked his forehead, and then asked Aunt Ye, "Can we eat?"

"Okay, the food is ready, we can eat it right away." Aunt Ye said quickly.

Chang Shichu gnawed on the freshly baked salt-baked chicken, sighed contentedly, and praised: "Aunt Ye, your cooking skills are really beyond words!"

Aunt Ye laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth when she heard this: "That's right, my grandfather used to be the imperial cook in the palace, I learned a lot of skills from him, and I will cook them for the head of the family in the future."

"Then I'll just wait." Chang Shichu gnawed on the meaty chicken legs, thinking that if he could eat delicious food every day, then living in this troubled world would be bearable.

Wei Yu'an ate so much that he couldn't lift his head, his lips were shiny, like a starved wolf cub, Chang Shichu brought a glass of orange juice in front of him and said, "Don't eat too fast, be careful not to choke, No one will rob you."

Wei Yu'an quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, blushed and took a sip of orange juice to moisten his throat.

This orange juice is squeezed from the orange juice in Changshichu's space. It is sweet and delicious, much better than ordinary orange juice. My family loves it.

Qing'an City is close to the sea, and there are many people who go fishing in the sea for their livelihood. Aunt Ye bought a lot of seafood. The size of the sea prawns is as big as the thumb of an adult man. Peeling one and just dipping it in some sauce will make it extremely fresh. Yes, the meat quality is elastic and flexible, and Chang Shichu has to eat several of them each time to be satisfied.

There is also sea crab porridge, which is sweet and delicious, and you will never get tired of eating it.

Chang Shichu felt that Wei Yu'an was loyal to him, probably because of the good food.

Just when the wheat in the fields in the suburbs was blooming, the new governor of Qing'an City finally took office. I heard that the new mayor was a scholar from the previous dynasty. Later, the previous dynasty disappeared and a new dynasty was established. Official, slowly climbed to the position of mayor of a city.

It's just that the current regime of the new dynasty is not very stable. The various warlords are divided into one place and each is king. Although they obey the jurisdiction of the central government in name, in fact most of them are obedient and obedient. Otherwise, the massacre in Qing'an City would not have happened No, it won't be only Pu Qirui leading the team to help restrain the killed people after it happened for so long.

The new official took office three times, but this has nothing to do with Chang Shichu. She just occupied unowned land in the suburbs to grow grain, and opened several grain stores in the city. Most of her reputation is It was played by "killing chickens to warn monkeys".

But this kind of prestige is not important in the eyes of other officials, not to mention that she is only a young girl in her teens, which is even more contemptuous.

So after the new chief took office, he hosted a banquet for families, merchants, and gentry of some status in Ancheng to discuss the rebuilding of Qing'an City, but Chang Shichu was not invited.

"Master, do you know about the banquet for the celebrities in Qing'an City by the new chief?" Wei Yu'an asked Chang Shichu mysteriously when he returned home one day.

"I know, what's the matter?" Chang Shichu asked.

"Then did he invite you?" Wei Yu'an asked again.

"No, it should be because my weight is too small, people don't think much of me at all." Chang Shichu said with a smile, in fact, it's better not to look good, she doesn't want to deal with these people, because she has a premonition that it will be troublesome.

It seems that some business needs to be restrained, otherwise the tree will attract the wind, even if she doesn't provoke others, others will provoke him. Although she is not afraid of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, she doesn't want to be troubled.

"Then it seems that this officer is not very capable." Wei Yu'an said a little unhappy.

When Chang Shichu heard his words, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "How do you know that he's not capable?"

"If he is really capable, why doesn't he know what you have done for the people of Qing'an City? Even if it's not because of your business, but just because you helped bury the remains of the people who died in the massacre, you should be invited ? But he didn't, isn't that just ignorance?" Wei Yu'an was very upset about Chang Shichu.

Chang Shi glanced at him for the first time and said, "Wei Yu'an, others may not value what we value. I bury the bones of the murdered compatriots to prevent them from being exposed to the wilderness, because I think it is important to let them rest in the ground; But other people don’t think so, they don’t think it’s their business whether other people’s bones are collected or not? The bones of lowly civilians are worthy of their concern?”

Hearing what she said, Wei Yu'an fell silent immediately. Although he was still young, he lived on the streets since he was a child and had seen everything. He naturally understood what Chang Shichu said. He said that "the streets of Zhumen's wine and meat stink to death", the upper class The dignitaries in China don't care about the lives of lowly civilians. Even if the civilians die on the streets, they will only dislike the smell that suffocates them and the corpses block their eyes.

"Didn't Qing'an City have rich and powerful merchants so soon?" Chang Shichu was a little puzzled, "Didn't those big families leave long before the massacre? Could it be that they came back?"

Chang Shichu has been a little busy with work recently, and has neglected the situation in Qing'an City, but he doesn't know who else has moved in.

Wei Yu'an nodded at this time and said: "I saw servants from a wealthy family buying a lot of rice at our rice store, and many well-dressed wives and ladies went to the jewelry store next door to buy jewelry, they must be rich people. "

Chang Shichu was really surprised at the moment, the upper echelons of Qing'an City were going to return to their previous state of luxury so soon?
