Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 409 What is Glutinous Rice?

The mason said cheerfully: "My daughter bought it a few days ago. The little girl loves it, and now she refuses to take it off all day long. The bright colors are really pretty, but they are a bit expensive."

But when he talked about being expensive, the smile on his face only increased, "Fortunately, I still have this skill now, and the wages of working in the city are high, so it's okay to support the two of them."

Looking at the mason's eyes full of satisfaction and expectation, Ma Liang's heart moved slightly.

This is because he really felt that Xu Jiajun's arrival was good.

Juyong City in winter is also very lively, the streets are full of people coming and going, there are several more shops than before, and the sign of "Xu" is added to the plaques of many shops.

Although Ma Liang and the others were fighting, new news from the city also spread to the barracks from time to time. Every morning and evening, officers and soldiers from the Xu family army came to read the newspaper and tell everyone what happened in the city recently.

The news that the aristocratic trench gentry in Shanggu County no longer existed shocked Ma Liang and other frontier soldiers for a long time.

They really couldn't imagine how Xu Jiajun brought down these high mountains.

But now, judging from the shops marked with the word Xu, it is known that the Xu family army has successfully completed this difficult task that the superiors of all dynasties and dynasties could not do.

Because most of these shops along the street originally belonged to the private property of the noble family.

But the strange thing is that he also saw many old men from aristocratic families wandering happily on the street.

I don't know what benefits Xu Jiajun promised them, so that they are willing to make such a big parting.

I'm afraid that threats and lures have been used in turn, and only then did they achieve the great harmony they can see now.

In fact, as long as they follow the rules set by Xu Jiajun, most people can live better than before.

Just like the bricklayer just now, the craftsman used to have a low status, and when he came out to work, he could barely make ends meet. How could he have enough money for his wife and daughter to buy fashionable scarves for women?
Speaking of this lady's scarf, Ma Liang and the others really became curious, wanting to see what is so strange about this scarf that makes ladies rush to grab goods regardless of etiquette.

This thing should have just come to Juyong County not long ago, and I haven't seen anyone wearing it on the road.

But as Ma Liang and the others got closer to the convenience store in the center of the market, they could see girls with brightly colored scarves walking over with smiles on their faces.

The women laughed and chatted generously on the street. The passers-by seemed to have gotten used to it, but they were attracted by the vigorous vigor of the young women to take a second look, and then went to work.

There were no rich men from aristocratic families who came out to make fun of them, and there were no bullies who rushed out to rob the women of the people. Ma Liang's nerves were so peaceful that he tensed up like a big joke.

He thought that he could at least stage a heroic rescue of the beauty today, but he didn't expect that he was overthinking.

There are soldiers from the Xu family patrolling everywhere in the city, and the streets are so neat and clean that even beggars are taken to work, so how could it be possible to rob women in broad daylight?
correct!

Ma Liang slapped his head, and then he remembered that Shanggu County no longer had a son of aristocratic family, and the so-called bullies might have been wiped out when the Xu family army entered the city.

"Oh~" Ma Liang and the others sighed in disappointment.

At this time, the women walked over with a smile, wrapping scarves made of colored fine cashmere around their slender necks. Against the backdrop of a gray and white street scene, they looked like gorgeous wildflowers in spring, swaying wantonly in the wind and emitting fragrance.

Xu Jiajun's military uniform is really eye-catching. Ma Liang is tall and tall, and he looks even more handsome and tall in military uniform. The women can't help but peek at him.

With that shy but actually bold glance, Ma Liang and the others subconsciously puffed up their chests, pretending not to care, striding past the women with cold expressions.

Then, they heard the silver bell-like laughter of the women coming from behind.

Looking back, I realized that the young boy in the team had poor concentration, and was blushed by these girls, and his mind was wandering, and he accidentally tripped over a small basket sold at a roadside stall.

The sound of "crash" and the embarrassment of the little soldier made the girls laugh out loud.

Well, just as he was about to show the coldness of the soldiers, he was disturbed by his fellow pig teammates.

Ma Liang's face was dark, the girls' non-malicious laughter echoed in his ears, his heart beat faster, his mouth was dry, he picked up the little soldier in embarrassment, and hurried into the small shop next to him.

"Let's have a pot of cool water!" Ma Liang shouted to the counter.

The clerk quickly came over with a kettle, and Ma Liang drank two cups in a row, finally relieving his dry tongue.

He took out two purple chips and asked the clerk to bring some food.

The clerk looked like someone from Xu Jiajun, holding a notebook in his hand, asking them about their tastes, and writing them down with a pen and paper. The whole set of actions was smooth and smooth, and after a few strokes, he put down a list and went to serve them snacks.

First, there was a stack of soybean cakes, which were glutinous and glutinous, slightly sweet, and had a strong fragrance. Ma Liang and the others each took one piece, and when they wanted to eat the second piece, they found that the plate was empty.

Fortunately, the clerk brought a few more bowls of white and tender snacks that exude a bean aroma. The mouth is smooth and smooth. If you want to eat sweet, you can add some sugar. If you want to eat salty, you can put a pinch of dried plums. , Ma Liang's eyes widened in surprise.

"What kind of food is this? It tastes so good!"

The clerk did not show contempt because of their ignorance, but replied with a light smile:

"It's called bean curd. Our store sells snacks made from soybeans. The cakes you ate just now are also made from soybean flour and glutinous rice flour."

"What kind of rice is glutinous rice?" Ma Hao asked curiously.

Ma Liang, who was born in the north, had never even seen rice and knew nothing about glutinous rice.

The clerk replied: "It's a kind of rice from the south. The food it makes is soft and glutinous, almost like flour."

Ma Liang groaned, remembering that he hadn't eaten the refreshing sweet fragrance just now, and asked the clerk to serve four more dishes.

The clerk looked at them helplessly, wanting to remind this group of people that too much glutinous rice is hard to digest, but looking at the uniforms on Ma Liang and the others, he thought that their physical fitness should be pretty good, so he turned around and took four plates of soybeans without saying anything. Come here.

Several big men's eyes lit up when they saw the pastry.

At first, they thought that the wooden chips Xu Jiajun gave them were of little value, but only after using them did they realize that the wooden chips were really easy to use.

In the past, they would not be able to buy such cakes with their military salary, let alone eat them all at once.

While resting his chin with his hands to prevent the powder from the soybean cake from falling on his new clothes, Ma Liang sighed in his heart that Xu Jiajun really had endless food and money to spend, just like the rumors.

So rich, could it be that God is supporting Xu Jiajun behind his back, allowing them to get as much money as they want?
