Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 204 Gathering ([-])
Several people chatted for a while, Mu Liu excused the hostess and mother's carriage and horses, and cleaned up the room for a rest, so he invited Mu Ai into the east chamber and north room.Holding out the ledger with both hands, Mu Ai took a quick look at it. The reconstruction of earth, stone and wood cost 100 taels, 90 taels of wages, 80 taels of daily food, plus 50 taels of miscellaneous things such as plaque customization and adding utensils. The total cost 320 taels of silver, which is about the same as Mu Ai expected.

Mu Liu opened his mouth to report again, "Ma'am, I recruited two men a few days ago, and they both signed death contracts. Madam, do you want to see me?"

"Well, let them in."

Liu Quan and Shen Wang entered the hall cautiously, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said in unison, "Give Madam hello."

Mu Aixu raised his hand and said, "Get up, we will be a family from now on. We may not dare to talk about other things in Muxian Mansion, but we will never treat you badly in terms of food and clothing. You just need to abide by the rules and follow along." Shopkeeper Mu Liu works hard, and he will have a bright future in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Jiu who was standing aside, and continued, "Mu Jiu and Mu Qi should also work hard. After a year or two of experience, our family will open a medical center in another city, and I will send you there to do it." Shopkeeper."

Mu Jiu's eyes immediately burst into ecstasy, and he stepped forward a few steps together with Liu Quan and Shen Wang to salute and thank him, and then backed away.Mu Ai also explained the matter of going to Sunji Medicinal Material Shop to buy medicinal materials tomorrow, and then she told Mu Liu in detail what she had been thinking about for the past few days and the news that she planned to release. Of course, Mu Liu nodded in response, In my heart, I admire my mistress more and more, and I even faintly believe that the mistress is as miraculous as the news said.

When Mu Qi reported that he had bought back the ingredients, he took Spring Equinox Xiaoan to the kitchen. The second sister-in-law Wu took a set of clean green linen apron with a smile, and while helping her mistress tie it carefully, she said with a smile, "Originally, I always listened to Guo My aunt said, Madam is very good at cooking, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to see it in person, but today I have a good fortune, I must learn two tricks from Madam."

Mu Ai smiled lightly and said, "Cooking is a matter of brainstorming, and you can cook any two dishes in a strange way. The bacon under the eaves outside looks good to me, go find someone to get it Come together."

"Hey, that's good." The second sister-in-law Wu responded quickly, and went out to call for help to climb up to pick the meat.

Mu Ai thought for a while, and asked Xiao An to come over with a few clay pots, and picked out a pot of beans, a pot of eggplant, half a pot of prawns and a big carp about three catties from the space.

Without waiting for orders, Xiaoan began to pinch beans, go to the eggplants, and pick out the shrimp strings. On the spring equinox, he quickly brought the fish outside the door to kill, cut off the fish head and put the one-inch-long body into the basin together. Rinse, until the slightest bit of blood is gone before giving up.

The second sister-in-law Wu happily took a piece of bacon into the house, and saw the fish, shrimp and green vegetables on the chopping board. The wind roared, and the whole house ate such fresh vegetables. From then on, everyone felt that it would not be difficult for their wife to transform into a living person out of thin air.

Seeing her in a daze, Spring Equinox shouted, "Second sister-in-law, come and help me, this kitchen knife is too heavy, and my arms and neck are going to break before the ribs are cut."

Wu Ersao hurried over to take the kitchen knife, and said with a smile, "You are all young girls, how much strength do you have, you go and help Madam, I will do the hard work."

"Then thank you, Second Sister-in-law." Chun Equinox thanked her with a smile.

Mu Ai was marinating the ribs in her hand, and said, "Cut half of the bacon into slices, and mince the rest. Let's bake a pie with bacon and cabbage today."

"Yes, ma'am." Spring Equinox Xiao'an also happily responded in unison with the second sister-in-law's voice.

One master and three servants have been busy for more than half an hour. Mu Ai fished out the last piece of fish in the pot, turned her head to ask Chun Equinox to help wipe off the sweat on her head, and saw that the braised pork ribs in the two big pots next to her had been collected. Juicy, the fish head tofu soup also turned milky white.Said, "I'm going to wash my face, and you all take out the soup and ribs and serve them up. Mr. Wang's grandson, Sun Gongzi, Mu Liu, and Master Ouyang will all sit at the main table with me. Salted pork beans and minced meat eggplant Make too many of the two, set aside half, wait for the pie to be delivered, then you can open another table here."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal for the spring equinox to stay and help, and then went straight back to the temporary resting room, washed off the oily smoke from his face, dipped his jade comb in water to smooth his temples, drank another cup of tea to moisten his thirsty throat, and then went to the hall .

The big round square table has been set up. On the vernal equinox, braised pork ribs are placed in front of the main table, followed by roasted beans with bacon, eggplant with minced meat, deep-fried shrimp, deep-fried crispy fish fillets, and finally the big blue soup pot after the rain. The good fish head tofu soup was placed in the center of the table, and Xiao An swiftly arranged six pairs of thin porcelain bowls and ebony carved chopsticks.Then he bowed and retreated to the door.

Mu Ai smiled and invited Mr. Wang to sit in the main seat, Sun Hao was naturally the guest seat on the right, and the shy Er Niu was below him.Mu Ai sat on the upper left side, then smiled and called Ouyang who was outside the door to come in, pointed to the seat below and said, "Ouyang, come and eat."

She thought that Ouyang would refuse, and even prepared a set of excuses for this, but Ouyang was beyond her expectation, without any twitching, nodded slightly to everyone, and sat down.Surprised, Mu Liulian and Mu Ai didn't hear Mu Liulian Muai's ordering him to sit at the bottom, but it was Xiao An who gave him a light push before he hurriedly saluted and sat down.Turning to look at Chun Equinox Xiaoan's expression, a flash of understanding flashed across his face, and then he was full of joy.The trace of excitement on Er Niu's face froze as if instantly frozen.Sun Hao rejected Mu Liu's scramble, picked up the jug, filled the wine glasses of several people with a smile, then sniffed the wine carefully, and gave a good thumbs up.

Mr. Wang smiled as if he didn't see the faces of the crowd, and he didn't have to ask Mu Ai, the master, to move his chopsticks first, and he raised his hand to pick up a rib and said with a smile, "My old man can't help being hungry because of his age, so let's eat first." .”

"This table of wine and food is just for the old man. It's better for the old man to eat happily than anything else. Come on, everyone use your chopsticks." Mu Ai greeted everyone to eat with a smile, raised her hand and raised her chopsticks but smiled wryly and found that she was busy It's been so long that I forgot to prepare a vegetarian dish for myself. Just as I was about to greet the spring equinox, Ouyang had already said, "Chun equinox, mix some light cabbage."

As soon as the words came out, the people on the table paused whether they were picking up the food or chewing, and then immediately continued to eat and drink.Chun Equinox was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded and went down to prepare.

Mu Ai glanced at Ouyang's still calm face, as if the words just now didn't come from him, she lowered her head and hid the smile on her mouth, for some reason, she liked seeing him more and more cold It looks hot inside.

Sun Hao suddenly raised his wine glass and said loudly, "The clinic will open in two days. I'll borrow some wine from Mrs. Xian, and first wish the clinic a happy opening and everything goes well."

"Thank you grandson for your good words." Muai smiled and clinked glasses with everyone. Master Wang drank the wine in the glass and praised, "This wine is bamboo leaf green. It should have been stored for ten years. It tastes sweet and soft, and has a long aftertaste. , What a good wine."

Mu Liu said, "The old man has really good eyesight. This is the 15-year-old bamboo leaf green that Mu Qi just bought back from Xiankelou."

Sun Hao also said, "Well, this wine is a good wine from Fenglan Winery in Mingyue City. I passed by there in the winter of the year before last and tasted the excellent wine Ruoshui in Mingyue Tower. It is really the best wine in the world. Unfortunately, the season is not right If it really is the day when the moon is at its fullest in July and August, it will be more flavorful to recite poems and taste wine while admiring the moon."

Mr. Wang nodded and said with a smile, "No, we also need to add the good food of the fairy girl. The wine is too lonely without good food, and the taste will inevitably be missing."

Sun Hao nodded and smiled, "Yes, what the old man said is true." After finishing speaking, he poured himself a drink and drank another glass.

Chun Equinox came in from the outside and put a stack of shredded Chinese cabbage and a steamed bun with thin noodles on a disk.Xiao An then put two thin bamboo baskets by the table, inside were steaming pies, fried golden on both sides, everyone drank a few glasses of wine, and gradually lost their restraint at the beginning, and praised Delicious dishes and pies.

After eating this meal for half an hour, they left with all their heart's content. Everyone drank tea to relieve their greasy food, and they agreed to buy medicinal materials tomorrow and open the day after tomorrow.Because it is a medical clinic for saving lives and healing the wounded, it is not for making money, so there are no trivial matters such as entertaining guests and eating banquets that herald a wealth of money.Just steam some steamed buns with fine noodles and distribute them to the neighbors, so that the noodles are familiar.

In the end, Mr. Wang invited Muai to his study alone, and asked with a smile, "Hurry up and take out the medicinal materials that you are going to make as a treasure, and I will deal with them for storage."

Only then did Mu Ai realize that wild ginseng, snowfall grass, and fairy night grass must be fresh. If they are to be different, they need to be processed through special procedures, so she waved her hands and moved the smallest 200-year-old wild ginseng and 100-year-old wild ginseng from the space. When the snowdrops came out, Mr. Wang was so startled that he could stuff an egg into his mouth, his eyes were wide open, and he kept staring back and forth between Muai's right hand and the two medicinal plants.

This made Mu Ai almost laugh out loud, and the old man grabbed her by the arm regardless of the rules of etiquette and asked, "Xian girl, tell grandpa, what kind of skill do you have? How can you conjure medicinal materials out of thin air? You Could it be that the God of Medicine in the sky failed in the lower realm?"

Mu Ai quickly denied it, and secretly apologized in her heart. Today, the old man will be the first listener of her big lie, "Old man, listen to me. I am not the God of Medicine in the sky, and you know that I am from overseas. When I was a child, by chance, I lived on a fairy mountain for a month. I learned a few secret techniques under the guidance of an expert. I can access items at will, and I have some control over plants and animals. The new vegetables and medicinal materials in our village are all I planted them using secret techniques. However, it takes a lot of energy to perform secret techniques, and the amount I can plant every year is limited."
