Chapter 44 Follow me and eat meat
The movements of the three were very consistent, and they couldn't wait to take a sip.
Nanny Zhang is relatively more elegant. As a relatively respectable nanny in the mansion, she can often eat meat, but the two long-term workers are different. In the past, when the schedule was good, she would eat more. In the past two years, the only time to eat meat is during Chinese New Year.
I thought that eating meat was already a happy thing, but when they tasted the taste, all three of them were amazed, this time even Zhang Nanny was no exception.
This is different from what they eat elsewhere!
How can this meat be so delicious?
The three of them immersed themselves in the rice. After eating the meat, the rice mixed with the broth was indescribably delicious.
The three of them ate fast in the first half, and then ate very slowly in the second half.
Fast because it was so delicious, I couldn’t help eating mouthful after mouthful, and slowly because it was so delicious, I wanted to taste more, and I didn’t want to eat it after a few mouthfuls.
After eating, the two long-term workers didn't have the nerve to finish talking, Zhang Nanny couldn't help asking Wei Ruo: "Miss, is your meat made in the kitchen? How do you make it so delicious?"
"Xiumei did it." Wei Ruo replied.
"Miss Xiumei's cooking skills are so good!" Madam Zhang couldn't help praising her, and at the same time, she looked at Xiumei with something that she didn't have before.
From the first time she saw Xiumei, Nanny Zhang looked down on her, because she was a maid hired by the He family for Wei Ruo. She stayed with Wei Ruo in the countryside and had no education. of.
I didn't expect this girl to have such abilities! It seems that this countryman is not all unruly and shallow-sighted, and there are some amazing things!
Feeling the astonishment in Zhang Nanny's eyes, Xiumei couldn't help smiling.
It was the first time for her to see Nanny Zhang, who looked at people with her nostrils, showing such an expression to her!
Wei Ruo said to Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers: "Lunch is only one aspect. As long as you follow me and work hard, the tasks I assigned are completed satisfactorily. I will not treat you badly."
At this time, one of the long-term workers, Agui, finally couldn't help it: "Miss, do you mean to provide us with such delicious lunch in the future?"
"Not only lunch, but also other benefits." Wei Ruo promised.
"Miss, don't worry, we will follow you well!" Agui quickly expressed his opinion to Wei Ruo.
"Me too!" Another long-term worker Xiaoba hastily seconded.
Don’t look at just a meal, it is very rare for them. Although I don’t know what other preferential treatment Wei Ruo mentioned, it is enough to make them work harder for Wei some.
Nurse Zhang didn't say anything. Although she thought the meal Wei Ruo gave was delicious, her eyelids were not so shallow, so she wouldn't change her opinion of the young lady just because of a meal.
Just as she was thinking, Xiumei walked over and handed Mammy Zhang a small cloth bag.
At the same time, I also gave Agui and Xiaoba each a pack. The weight of each pack is the same, and it feels quite heavy in the hand.
Nanny Zhang opened the cloth bag curiously, saw the food inside, and asked, "Could this be the dried sweet potato that the eldest lady gave to the ladies?"
Nanny Zhang heard about it, and it is said that it has won unanimous praise from everyone, but she has never seen what the real thing looks like.
"Well, yes, this thing is easy to preserve and very filling. You can eat it when you are hungry or take it home for your children to try." Wei Ruo said.
Neither of them spoke, but judging from their expressions, they liked and enjoyed dried sweet potatoes very much. For low-level people like them, sweets are a luxury, so the reaction is bigger than ordinary people.
Nanny Zhang looked at it for a while, but there was nothing special about the appearance, it was not as attractive as those delicate pastries.
But driven by curiosity, I also tasted two sips.
Although the reaction was not as great as the two long-term workers, they also showed their liking.
Mother Zhang, who was complaining in her heart just now that she would not change her attitude towards Wei Ruo just because of a meal, is now wavering because of a bag of dried sweet potatoes.
This eldest lady seems to be really generous to those who work with her...
The three of them only ate one piece and didn’t eat any more. One was that Wei Ruo’s lunch was sufficient and they were full, and the other was that they all wanted to keep it and take it home to have a taste of it with their families.
After lunch, everyone continued to work. This time, the two long-term workers obviously had to work harder.
Before they were not lazy, but they were just following their duties. Now Wei Ruo gave them the motivation to work harder, and their spirits are different.
###
Not far away, another group of people went out of the south gate like Wei Ruo.
Chu Lan glanced across the desolate south of the city, thinking that everything was as he imagined, desolate and desolate, but he didn't want to see a few figures in the middle of the empty wasteland.
"What's going on?" Chu Lan asked his subordinates.
"Returning to Your Highness, this group of people belonged to Wei Xiaowei's family, and they said they were trying to plant wasteland. If they succeed, they can lead the people in the city to plant here after the war improves. This matter has already been approved by Qianzhi County. .” The attendants who followed reported to Chu Lanhui.
As Chu Lan's entourage, when Chu Lan visits a place, he will investigate some basic conditions of the place in advance.
"People from the Wei family?" Chu Lan asked in surprise, "When did the Wei family know how to do such a thing? It doesn't seem like something that family can do."
Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that the Wei family has given quite a lot of surprises. Last time it was calligraphy, and this time it was land reclamation."
Chu Lan didn't refute Lu Yuhong's words, but still kept his eyes on the people of the Wei family who opened up wasteland, and asked, "Who is the person in command over there?"
The following subordinates looked at it seriously for a while, and then gave a guess: "It may be the eldest lady of the Wei family who just returned home."
"Miss who just returned home?" Chu Lan was a little curious.
"The Wei family said to the outside world that they were raised in the countryside because of poor health, and they were brought back recently." The subordinate replied.
"I have been raised in the country, so I am good at farming?" Chu Lan asked.
"It is said to be so." The subordinate replied.
Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "It's a bit novel to be a lady of the Earl's Mansion who grew up in the countryside and is proficient in farming."
"Whether she is proficient or not depends on what kind of tricks she can grow. It doesn't mean that she is proficient if she can go to the ground." Chu Lan has reservations about this matter.
"That's true, only results are counted. In comparison, the Sibaozhai is more interesting." Lu Yuhong said.
Although the last time I went to inquire about the shopkeeper of the store and was declined, Lu Yuhong still had Sibao Zhai in his heart, and always felt that it was a good opportunity to make money.
After stopping briefly, Chu Lan led the crowd towards Moon Moon Mountain, without being attracted too much attention by this little episode.
