Poor family little lucky wife

Chapter 666 Chef
"Borrowing?" Emperor Mo sneered and asked, "Where do you want to borrow?"

Hubu Shangshu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but he couldn't explain why.

He is very difficult every day.

This one asks him for money, that one asks him for food... He is just the secretary of the household department, not sitting on mountains of gold and silver, and cannot change so much money.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that can be postponed." Hubu Shangshu said in embarrassment, "It's just..."

"After the delay, will there be no harm to Da Mo?" Emperor Mo asked.

Hubu Shangshu immediately closed his mouth.

"Forget it, I will lend some money to the national treasury first from the internal funds. I will return it to me when the money from the national treasury is collected." When Emperor Mo opened his mouth, the Minister of the Household Department was so shocked that he even forgot the etiquette, and suddenly looked up. .

He saw that Emperor Mo was still sitting behind the desk with a blank expression on his face, it didn't seem like he had said anything serious.

Hubu Shangshu frowned and rubbed his ears, could it be that he is too old to use his ears well?
"Why? The treasury doesn't need to ask me to borrow money? If not, then..."

"Need!" Hubu Shangshu didn't have time to think about other things, so he shouted quickly.

Nothing is more important than silver now.

There is no silver in the treasury, and now that he sees silver, it is no exaggeration to say that he is closer than seeing his own father.

After the Hubu Shangshu finished shouting, he asked a little nervously: "I don't know how much money your Majesty can lend to the treasury?"

There is no money in the treasury, and there is no money in your majesty's internal funds.

Hubu Shangshu knew this.

So, how much silver can His Majesty lend to the treasury?

One million taels, or two million taels?

You know, now that there is only about 200 million taels of silver in the year of the Great Depression, of course, this does not include food and other things.

"6 taels of silver." As soon as Emperor Mo's words came out, the Minister of the Household Department bit his tongue, and even forgot the gift of the monarch and ministers, and asked directly: "How much, how much?"

The secretly proud Emperor Mo didn't care about Hubu Shangshu's gaffe. Compared with a small gaffe, this feeling of embarrassment made Emperor Mo feel much more at ease.

"What? Isn't 6 taels of silver enough for the transition?" Emperor Mo asked with a straight face on purpose.

"Enough, enough, enough." Hubu Shangshu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"If that's the case, I'll send someone to send the silver over later. Remember to write down all the accounts." Emperor Mo said.

Public and private must be distinguished.

"Yes." Hubu Shangshu agreed with joy.

With these tens of thousands of taels of silver, at the beginning of the new year, the treasury can be relaxed for a period of time.

The matter of Yinzi was settled, and Shangshu Hubu bowed and retired with ease.

Of course, as to why His Majesty suddenly had so much silver, the Minister of the Household Department was so curious that he didn't dare to ask.

Inquiring about His Majesty's internal funds... He hasn't lived enough, and he doesn't want to court death.

Anyway, this year, Hubu Shangshu can live a little easier.

As for Wang'an Mountain, this year is quite lively.

Every household in Wang'an Village was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the fat and thin pork was chopped into dumpling fillings, and the white flour that I was reluctant to eat before was bought, and I made dumplings in the evening.

The dumpling ingredients for this evening are ready, and the women of each family will use their abilities for the New Year's Eve dinner, and they must do their best.

In the past, my family was poor, and during the Chinese New Year, I was willing to get some oil to fry a dish to eat. On weekdays, apart from steaming, I boiled it.

Now, the thick fat meat is thrown into the pot, and the fragrant oil is smelted. Even the fat residue is a good thing, and it should be put into the dumpling stuffing.

The wrapped dumplings, one bite at a time, are so fragrant that people want to swallow their tongues.

The people here are very busy, not only the people in Wang'an Village, but even near the caves where the refugees live, stoves have been set up one after another. The cauldron is steaming hot, and the fragrance is constantly pouring into the nose. drill.

In normal times, the food for the refugees is prepared and delivered by the village.

It's the Chinese New Year, and they just set up a simple stove in advance and let them do it by themselves.

There are a lot of ingredients, enough, they can do whatever they want.

The refugees who were busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner all had happy smiles on their faces. How could they have imagined that not long ago, they were still displaced and their future was at a loss.

Now, in Wang'an Mountain, they feel that they are living a life like a fairy.

There is enough food to eat and a warm place to live.

During the Chinese New Year, there are meat and vegetables, rice and white noodles, not to mention that they are fleeing, even when they were at home, their life was not so easy.

The refugees here celebrate the New Year happily, and the people in Wang'an Village are also busy. At dusk, the smell of the food permeates the village. Smelling this smell is like seeing the future, and it is also delicious. people.

At this moment, a sudden burst of aroma burst into the person's nose domineeringly, and the smell of his own stew was actually suppressed.

This is stewed meat, the stewed meat that makes people salivate, but compared with that aroma, it makes people lose their appetite.

The children who were still around the pot table at home just now all sucked their saliva, and ran out of the house with a thud, sniffing their noses, and followed the scent to find it.

Along the way, I also met many like-minded people.

It's just that, after confirming which house the scent came from, the children in the village swallowed their saliva one by one, and turned their heads back home.

That is the home of the young master and miss. The adults in the family have said that they can't go there to disturb them.

People in the village just swallowed their mouths when they smelled the scent, but some people were much more careless.

For example, Yuan Yushan and Qi Bokang, who are now lonely, have been invited by the Lu Wang family to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

Yuan Yushan smelled the fragrance and opened the door and entered the courtyard: "Auntie, what is this delicious? It smells so good."

"Auntie, auntie?" Yuan Yushan stared at Lu Wangshi who was in the yard in astonishment, then probed towards the kitchen, "Auntie, aren't you cooking?"

"It's not me." Lu Wangshi shook the freshly washed vegetables in his hand with a funny face, "I just want to start, to wash and chop the vegetables."

"Auntie is so lucky. The daughter-in-law at home is really a good hand at work. The cooking is really delicious. Outside, my greedy worms are hooked out." Yuan Yushan couldn't help swallowing. Drooling, "Today, I have a good fortune."

Qi Bokang frowned slightly, as if he had already understood something.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't have such good skills." Lu Wang said with a smile.

Just as Lu Wang was about to speak, Lu Yunxi yelled in the kitchen: "Grandma, grandma, dishes."

"Here we come." Mrs. Lu hurriedly responded, turned around and hurried into the kitchen.

Yuan Yushan followed curiously. Instead of going into the kitchen, he should take a look at the assembly at the door.

"Uncle Qi, the Lu family is really powerful, and they can invite a chef from Fucheng at this time. Let's see clearly. When we go to Fucheng, we will go to that restaurant to eat..." Yuan Yushan clearly saw the chef waving a shovel inside. , His tongue seemed to be shoveled off by a shovel, and all the words behind were shoveled off.
