Chapter 53 Next visit
Another three days later, Zhong Jing was finally about to leave camp, and Zhou Hansheng was also leaving.
Zhong Jing sent his confidant Zhong Lu to reward each of the cooks with three taels of silver, and Zhao Liya, as the leader, gave five taels on the surface, but it was actually three hundred taels.
The reason is that the meals they cook are delicious and everyone is very satisfied. In order to show that he really likes it, Zhong Jing also asked how to make several dishes such as twice-cooked pork, boiled pork slices, and crispy pork belly.
The cooks were all very happy, and they were all grateful and thankful.
You must know that in the past, when they served in the military, it was considered good enough to eat enough and have a place to sleep overnight.
Let’s not talk about rewards, I think it’s great luck to be able to do a little easier work.
I didn’t expect that there would be a silver reward this time, and it’s still three taels!
Three taels of silver!
"This is all thanks to Xiaoya, we are all thanks to Xiaoya!"
"No way!"
Everyone laughed and nodded, this is convinced.
The dishes are all decided by Zhao Liya, and she also tells how to cook, they are just laying hands. Not to mention, this dish is full of various seasonings, it is really delicious!
Even taking them with them is a real treat these days.
Back home, who is willing to waste oil, salt and seasoning like this.
Thinking about it, I still feel a little reluctant to leave
Zhao Liya said a few words humbly, and took advantage of the situation and said: "Aunts and sisters-in-law, we made such a fortune and went back, so don't tell it, I'm afraid someone will be jealous!"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all thought of the Gu family.
The Gu family should know, the money might not be kept!
I originally planned to go back and show off, but I was so frightened that I was in a cold sweat, and said yes repeatedly, "Thanks to Xiaoya reminding, otherwise it would be really bad!", "Yes, yes!", "Then we all have to remember Don't say it, just say it to your man, and don't tell anyone else in the family.", "Yes, you can't say it!"
Zhao Liya also echoed, satisfied.
There is no one in Yancun who doesn't hate the Gu family, so this is the way to draw everyone to her side slowly and little by little. Keeping a common secret will undoubtedly bring the relationship closer.
Before leaving, Zhou Hansheng managed to find an opportunity to pretend to "encounter" with Zhao Liya. Zhao Liya was very grateful to Jin Thigh and had to come forward to speak.
Zhou Hansheng took the opportunity to remind again: "General Zhong is an upright and trustworthy person, if you have any problems, you must remember to go to him, don't have any scruples."
Zhao Liya nodded to express her gratitude: "If there is really something to do, I will naturally have to trouble General Zhong!"
Zhou Hansheng smiled again: "Come again next time, if I have time, I would like to visit Yancun."
Zhao Liya responded immediately with a smile: "If Mr. Zhou doesn't dislike it, come and sit at home when the time comes. Our home is at the entrance of Yancun Village, and the first one to enter the village will be."
Zhou Hansheng was thinking of this sentence, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I must go then!"
Yu Gongcao came to pick them up. Seeing that they had completed their errands well, General Zhong was not dissatisfied, and he was relieved, so he let them go back by themselves.
Everyone has money in their arms and is happy in their hearts. They talk and laugh along the way, and their feet are full of wind.
Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao miss their family very much.
"My parents and my aunt are here, as well as my brother, they must be fine!"
"Um!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. With outsiders around, it is inconvenient to discuss the sugarcane field.
Back home, when Zhao Xiang, Deng Shi, Widow Qu and others saw them coming back, they finally let go of what they had raised, and they were all happy.
At first, I was worried that the two of them would lose weight after suffering, but I didn't expect that after going and coming back neatly, their spirits seemed to be better instead, and everyone was surprised.
The food in this barracks is also really good, right?
Asked carefully about the situation of the two of them on errands, they finally felt relieved.
"This General Zhong is really a good man! Fortunately, we are worried every day."
"Oh, it means that our daughter is blessed, and meets nobles when she goes out!"
"Haha, that's right, I think it makes sense too!"
The family chatted and laughed for a while, and the elders felt distressed again, fearing that they hadn't had a good rest for a while, so they hurriedly urged them to go to rest.
"The military camp is still a military camp no matter how safe it is. How can you not be nervous when you are on duty? When you get home, relax and sleep, and I will call you when dinner is ready."
"Yes, rest assured and go to sleep."
Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao actually didn't feel sleepy, but the elders were so distressed, especially the two mothers, as if they hadn't had a peaceful sleep for a while, their eyes were full of pity and distress, and the two Helpless, had to go to rest.
Qu Yutao first pulled Zhao Liya aside to talk alone, put the three taels of silver in Zhao Liya's palm, gently held her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister take this silver."
"Can-"
"Even if it's my mother and I's living expenses! Anyway, it's a windfall, I don't feel sorry for it, and my sister doesn't have to be polite!"
These words were so straightforward that Zhao Liya had nothing to say.
"Okay, then I'll take it. You don't have to pay for living expenses until after the Spring Festival this year. Also, my sister has been helping me with things, and the salary is paid on a monthly basis. Don't be polite to me, sister."
If the Li family brothers, Li Zheng, Ruan Guishu and others work for her, they will still be paid monthly, which is fair.
Qu Yutao thought for a while, then nodded and smiled.
The two daughters returned safely, and the whole family was beaming. For dinner, Mrs. Deng, Widow Qu, and Aunt Li Shiyi killed chickens, fish and vegetables, and cooked several delicious dishes. Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin also helped peel beans and wash vegetables. They were very busy .
Hu Ling came back from Zaihu Village at around four o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at the posture of the elders, he knew that Zhao Liya and the others had returned safely. He was also very pleasantly surprised and happy: "My sister and cousin are finally back, and everyone is relieved!"
After all, it’s hard not to worry about such things as military service.
Deng said with a smile: "That's right, you should take a break too, let's have a good meal tonight!"
Hu Ling grinned and nodded: "Hey!"
It’s good that Xiaoya is back, just to tell her about the workshop. Although she explained it carefully before leaving, it’s the first time for everyone, and they don’t have much experience. I don't know if they are doing right or not. The big guys don't know what to do in their hearts, and they are afraid that if something goes wrong, Xiaoya's affairs will be ruined. She will go and have a look tomorrow, so everyone can rest assured
Deng and the others prepared the meals, Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao got up early, and the whole family sat around and ate dinner lively.
After dinner, Hu Ling talked about what happened in Zaihu Village. Not to mention Zhao Liya was concerned, Qu Yutao was also very concerned. Everyone must go and have a look tomorrow.
Zhao Xiang also asked a few questions about the matter in the barracks, knowing that nothing happened, so he didn't ask any more questions. After all, the military camp is a sensitive place.
My treasures, please ask for a monthly pass! Double! mwah
