My Fantastic Chef Wife - Chapter 397
Soon after the year, Mobei City was already very lively.
Starting from the fifth day of the New Year, people at the county government office lined up all day long.
Since the people all allocated fields, but there was no surplus food in their homes, they needed to go to the Yamen entrance to get relief food before the next round of fields had harvested.
These were all recovered from the granaries of the four great squires, enough for the people to hold for a while.
Ye Xiaoxian also participated in the distribution. Of course, this is authorized by Xiao Baoshan. She is a planner and a supervisor. She strives to distribute the paid food fairly and fairly so that everyone can fill her stomach.
The weather was still very cold, the snow in the previous round had not yet melted away, and the sky drifted a little bit of snow from time to time, but she did not feel tired, too busy, and her small face was cold and red, but full of enthusiasm.
In addition to food distribution, Ye Xiaoxian occasionally teaches the people how to cook these foods. Mobei not only has sorghum but also grows rice, Ye Xiaoxian teaches them to bake, and the baked goods are delicious and stored for a long time, although they can not be eaten every day, but It is also good to eat occasionally.
Ye Xiaoxian taught them to cook mixed grain porridge, nutrition and fullness.
During that time, those who had seen Ye Xiaoxian said that she was an ordinary fairy.
The more the people are grateful to Ye Xiaoxian, the more the four country squires hate her.
The four squires will also come to the Yamen from time to time to see the people who were previously slaves to them, and Ye Xiaoxian looks like a fairy, and they give the people the grains paid from their granaries. They hated their teeth, and at the same time they felt that Ye Xiaoxian was hypocritical. This was simply a show.
They can’t wait to break Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan into pieces.
Four years later, the four squires gathered together again to discuss their future career.
In the past, they had a meeting, how to get a big table dish, one chicken, duck and goose, in addition to meat, fish, etc., may not be finished, anyway, not worry about no one to eat.
But now I’m gathered at Mr. Wu’s house, not to mention chickens and ducks, Mr. Wu has no eggs. He only makes people fry a plate of peanuts, prepares a little of the previous wine, warms it on a charcoal plate, and each person drinks a few glasses , Even if it’s a party.
The four of them complained about the misery of their New Year while drinking, Master Wu said: “My family is thirty years old, a dozen people have eaten a chicken, a plate of cabbage stewed noodles, grandma’s, never had such a shabby year .”
Master Ji said: “To each other, my family didn’t even want to burn firecrackers. I didn’t have the money to buy them. They burned from the street to the end of the street in previous years.”
Mr. Fu: “My family eats bacon, but it’s not a dozen people. It’s still a piece of meat that you can afford to buy after you rent it. This time you eat the meat, and you will have to wait for the next time you eat the meat.”
Master Ma didn’t say anything, and only drank in silence. On New Year’s Eve, because of the New Year, he had a long argument with his wife. His wife complained that he couldn’t even eat chicken. He was annoyed and slapped his wife. His desperate wife, now very sturdy, burst out at once, and slapped him in the face. His cheeks still hurt.
Mr. Ji said again: “The family members who used to work in our house now have a great life after returning to the village. They have fields and houses, and they can eat the noodles in the New Year.”
Master Ma said: “Well, if you go on like this, I’m afraid they will be able to eat meat next New Year. These poor ghosts can’t be seen before.
Mr. Ji was impulsive and said: “I saw Mrs. Xiaohou that day, and the lady went out without a sedan or a carriage, and almost met me. Guess what I was thinking at that time? I really wanted to press her Have a fight on the ground!”
Master Wu asked, “Why don’t you fight?”
“Do I have that courage? She was followed by the guard, who stared at me with my eyes, afraid that if I said one more sentence, he would be killed.” Master Ji took a fried peanut and took another sip liqueur.
Mr. Fu finally said: “Right now, we are incapable of consuming them. They are crushed to death. Fortunately, we still have a big house and a little shop. Although the days are tight, but it is not too bad. Starved to death, can’t eat meat, dry rice can always be eaten. Just live this day.”
The other three listened silently.
The rich man is waiting aside.
Although the family members of their four big families were almost severed, they would still leave one or two. For example, some family members have no relatives and are willing to continue to be cattle and horses.
This family named Leng Hua is one of them.
Every time he heard Ye Xiaoxian’s name, a strange light flashed in the corners of his eyes.
…
Two months passed, and the weather gradually became warmer, and Mobei no longer snowed.
Good news also came from the people’s fields. Many kinds of crops were coming out, especially some vegetables.
These people can’t eat meat all year round, let alone meat, they can’t even eat dry rice, the porridge can’t be too thin, and there is no land to grow vegetables. Generally, digging wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, but digging wild vegetables also depends on luck, not when Can be dug.
Nowadays, Yamen divides the food, and they can occasionally eat a dry meal, and they can also eat the vegetables grown in their own fields. Let’s say cabbage, stir-fry a plate with some spicy seeds. Even if there is no salt, it is very delicious. of. In addition, the potatoes in the field have also been harvested. They can be simmered in the fire, steamed in the cage, or fried to eat, which is very full.
They can more and more feel that Xiao Baoshan is good for them. Some people have harvested things in the field, and they will send a basket to the entrance of Xiaofu with a basket, saying that it is for Xiao Baoshan and Ye Xiaoxian to eat.
Although the guards at the door have repeatedly emphasized that they do not need to deliver, they insist on sending, and do not wait for the people inside to come out, and leave on the ground.
Therefore, Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan can often eat very fresh vegetables and potatoes.
Although these are not valuable things, every time Ye Xiaoxian sees the uneven vegetables collected in the kitchen, she is very touched by her heart, and only feels that it is very meaningful to do these things.
The weather is getting warmer, and she will go to various villages with Yao County Cheng to see how the people’s lives are going.
People used to have no land of their own, but now that they have their own land, they all started to work like chicken blood. They started to work every day before dawn. They worked till the evening, and the whole family was dispatched. Don’t go home.
Ye Xiaoxian looked at the smiles on their faces and thought of the numbness and hard work on their faces when they first came to inspect with Xiao Baoshan. She heartily felt that freedom is really good.
Even if you are poor, as long as you can work freely in the countryside, that is happiness.
In a short time, a new round of wheat ears, rice, and fruits will grow on this piece of land, and there will be a piece of yellow everywhere. The men and women on the land will be happy to harvest and busy here, how happy it will be thing.
Ye Xiaoxian thought, when the time comes, the children must be brought in, so that the children can participate in it, feel the hard work in the field, and realize that the farmers are not easy to grow food.
However, Ye Xiaoxian did not expect that she could not see this scene.
…
Beiqing.
Beiqing is also usually cold. It is a semi-nomadic and semi-urban country.
However, unlike the Tianshan tribe, there are many people here, and they are strong and strong, everyone is good at shooting, and everyone will fight.
If there were no generals like Xiao Baoshan who were proficient in warfare, otherwise the generals of the Daqi Dynasty could not resist their attack.
The Beiqing people are barbaric and do not accept defeat, especially humiliation.
Of course, they will take the initiative to attack others, but they are run away as a shame.
Jing Feng, the general of Beiqing, felt that Xiao Baoshan was humiliating him. Since Xiao Baoshan came, they did not succeed in one provocation.
For the well-being Jing Feng, it was a shame.
When the snow melted, Jing Feng was studying the next round of attacks in the camp of the North Qingjun.
In fact, he never stopped thinking of invading Mobei.
He also hates that he has lost his best chance.
After praying for civil strife last year, Yan Ziyan went south to Beijing. At that time, it should be the easiest time for Beiqingjun to succeed, but the emperor Beiqing did not take the initiative to attack, resulting in white misses, taking into account the agreement that the two countries had not signed for war within ten years. A good opportunity.
Therefore, Jing Feng was very angry, but later took the initiative to provoke once, but did not expect Daqi to send Xiao Baoshan over.
Xiao Baoshan is his nemesis!
At this time, Jing Feng was sitting inside the camp, watching the secret report sent by his men.
Over the years, Beiqing has released many spies in Daqi’an, some are ordinary fishermen, some are courtiers, and some are doctors. Of course, Mobei City has also installed a lot, but it has never been used.
The secret report was handed over by an ordinary people. The handwriting was ordinary, and no core secrets were found. There was only some daily life about Xiao Baoshan.
For example, Xiao Baoshan was busy settling the people during this time, and now the people are grateful to him.
For example, what happened in the city of Mobei. In the past, the four great squires were in charge, but now it is replaced by Yacheng’s county Cheng and Xiao Baoshan’s wife Ye Xiaoxian.
Midway also mentioned Ye Xiaoxian’s name and what she did.
After reading the secret report, Jing Feng put the secret report on a candlelight and burned it.
After burning, he could not help saying: “In this way, Xiao Baoshan’s woman is not easy.”
…
In March of Yangchun, Jing Feng planned another provocation, wanting to attack the weakest south of Mobei City, because he got the thread report that the foundation was decaying recently due to the snow, so there were not many soldiers installed there, which could be broken in one fell swoop. .
Jing Feng really led people to attack, however, he never thought that this was just a trick of Xiao Baoshan.
