"Qingqing!" Qiao Yun waved to Meng Shaoqing at the door, "Did you miss me?"

Her words successfully alleviated the embarrassment between Mrs. Lu and Meng Shaoqing.

Meng Shaoqing immediately replied loudly: "I want to!"

She ran over and took Qiao Yun's hand. She couldn't help but jump up and down in joy: "Today I heard my mother-in-law said that she wanted to clean out the wing room in my yard, so I knew you should do it now.

Here you go. Sure enough, as soon as I got here, I heard my mother arranging things for me. Don’t believe her. I’m obviously very good, huh.”

"I didn't say you were naughty, so why are you so anxious? The guests are here, and you don't bow to me first, but start arguing with me." Mrs. Lu raised her chin in the direction of Yun Xuemei.

Meng Shaoqing's eyes lit up when she saw Yun Xuemei. She saluted Yun Xuemei again and said sharply: "How is your health?"

Yun Xuemei smiled, nodded a little, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I'm already feeling better. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become a lot more lively."

"No wonder you look so good. You are really in great shape! You look better than before!"

"Sister of the Yun family, were you sick before? I've never heard Qingqing mention it. What's going on?" Madam Lu asked.

"It's just a cold that caught me. It's not a problem. My son has invited Doctor Meng from Xinglin Hall. The medicine she prescribed is very effective."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting again, Meng Shaoqing was not happy. She hurriedly interrupted after Yun Xuemei finished her words: "Are you done with your polite words? Can you let me take them back to the yard to have a rest first?

?”

The main house is large, but it is indeed a bit deserted. Just to warm the open room, five braziers are needed. Living there for a long time requires a lot of charcoal fires, and the couple does not live in the main house in winter.

So Mrs. Lu readily agreed and got up from the chair: "That's fine. I've already asked someone to light up the heater in the wing over there in advance. Qingqing, please take your sisters and the others to rest first. Don't bother me too much."

We had a chat with you two after lunch."

When Qiao Yun heard the word lunch, she was quite eager to give it a try. She smiled and asked Mrs. Lu: "I originally made an appointment with Mr. Sanlang of your house to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Now I want to try it in advance so that I can let Madam know.

Fundamentally, you are not afraid that I will mess it up when the time comes."

"Good boy, I trust you! You will be busy tomorrow, but I can't do it now." Mrs. Lu couldn't help but said, changing her friendly attitude just now, and refused firmly, "How can you start cooking when the guests come?

What’s the point? You should go back and rest first! I’ll try your craft again tomorrow!”

Qiao Yun realized at this moment that her suggestion was indeed not very polite, so she smiled and nodded.

The wing room across the courtyard is the same as the main room across the courtyard. It is three rooms wide and two rooms deep. It is not really big. But the windows are bright and clean, the furnishings are elegant, and all kinds of ornaments and utensils are available. Because it is winter, there are various tables and tables in the house.

They are all covered with brightly colored tablecloths, covering up the cold-colored furniture as much as possible, at least it doesn't look so cold and cold.

Qiao Yun likes this kind of aesthetic very much. The county magistrate's wife is different from the dignitaries in her impression.

She had met the county magistrate before when she followed Wang's husband Cao Qingye to the county government office to have the land deed passed by the government. The middle-aged man with a Chinese character face had a serious expression and was unsmiling, which was intimidating. As a county official, he was majestic.

is enough.

But because she had too little contact with him, Qiao Yun could not tell whether he was a good official or a weak official.

The next month of living in Quwo County made her feel that the county parents were indeed healthy and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, but they still had an instinctive fear of the county government.

From the few words Meng Shaoheng leaked, she could at least confirm that he was a very strict father to his son.

I originally thought that this county magistrate was just an ordinary magistrate who could no longer be an ordinary magistrate in the peaceful and prosperous times. But when I saw his wife today, I felt that something was not quite the same.

To be able to marry such an interesting woman as his wife, and to allow his son and daughter to be taught by his wife to be so approachable and not put on any pretense, shows that he is also an extraordinary person.

After entering the room, she first looked at her luggage.

The maid had already arranged the luggage that Qiao Yun had brought, and put several pieces of clothes neatly into the Jin Ping Tuohuali wardrobe. The makeup she had brought was placed in a beautiful dowry made of mother-of-pearl and magnolia flowers, and some unknown items.

The bottles and cans were also put in small boxes and placed on the kang table.

These bottles and jars are all seasonings prepared by Qiao Yun.

After all, she is also responsible for cooking a New Year's Eve dinner! There is no shortage of various kinds of meat in the county this season, and the most important thing is fresh products. In ancient times, there was no plastic greenhouse technology, and winter was nothing more than stored radish and cabbage and pickled vegetables in late autumn.

Various pickles.

She didn't have such worries when cooking for Yun Xuemei before. Although the fields in the game don't produce vegetables in winter, the warehouse can keep them fresh forever. Since the showdown with Yun Xuemei, she can't even produce vegetables after the snow.

I won't buy it.

This was before she went out, Yun Xuemei reminded her, and she remembered this incident.

Therefore, she brought all her commonly used seasonings. Those bottles and jars contained not only the real oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, but also white sugar, fresh honey, red chili noodles, and ground

black pepper.

Most importantly, there is also local MSG made from shiitake mushrooms, scallops and kelp, which is an important foundation for her future fortune.

Qiao Yun opened the box on the table and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were many bottles of condiments without touching them.

The maid sent the two of them to the house and served tea. Qiao Yun then asked, "Where are the dishes I brought?"

"Back to Madam Qiao, everything has been sent to the kitchen. Madam knows that these are the ingredients you prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she specially ordered the kitchen not to handle them privately."

That's good.

Qiao Yun nodded with satisfaction.

She also brought a few green vegetables, some spinach, two handfuls of spring onions, and two green onions.

"Madam wants this slave to ask you how you got such new gadgets in the middle of winter?"

These green vegetables make people feel happy just looking at them.

Qiao Yun said with a smile: "It's okay to plant it in a clay pot and place it next to the kang. I happen to have a spare room in my house that can often get the sun. It won't freeze if you put it in the house. Okay, please step aside first."

Bar."

"That's it! Growing vegetables in the Kang room is a good idea!"

The little girl bowed happily, placed the tea cup on the table, and left.

After the maid left, Yun Xuemei frowned: "Can you really grow vegetables like this? Why did you tell others the recipe?"

"It's weird to be able to grow it. What you can grow in a clay pot is not enough to fill your teeth! I brought it from over there!"

Qiao Yun looked at Yun Xuemei, who was already sitting on the bed, and said with a smile, "What do you think of this place?"

Yun Xuemei groaned, and pressed on the bed twice: "I'm not used to it. It's not as comfortable as our bed."

Hearing this, Qiao Yun went over and touched the mattress, then lifted up the sheets and looked at it.

The bed is covered with two wool blankets and a sheepskin mattress. It can be seen that the owner has really tried his best to make the bed warm. Unfortunately, there is no thick cotton mattress. The bed is very hard and is better than just laying it on a bare board.

Bamboo mats may be slightly better.

The quilt was also an eiderdown quilt, but it wasn't as thick as the one she made herself, but it was enough to keep her warm.

Qiao Yun was amused and said, "Do you know cotton?"

Yun Xuemei raised her eyes and looked at her: "I've only seen it in Fuzhou and Lingnan, but how do you know this?"

"Then I can explain to you, I use cotton mattresses to make my bed!" Qiao Yun pointed to her belly, "In the place where we are connected, cotton has been carried all over the country by merchants. Not only can cotton be sold there,

It is elastic and soft and can be used to sew quilts and mattresses. It can also be spun into thread and woven into cloth."

Yun Xuemei was startled and quickly lowered her voice.

"Then be careful and don't tell others. This is a good thing to make money. How much can you sell it for if you spin it out in the future?"

Qiao Yun couldn't help laughing, Xue Mei Niang was just as obsessed with money as she was now.

She nodded: "That's natural, but the time is not right now, so we can only use it privately first. Don't show your disdain on your face, it's not easy for people to make such a big sheepskin mattress."

Qiao Yun walked around the house quite freshly, touching this and that, feeling very envious of such a house.

"In the future, our family should build a yard like this and build a small garden. There will be flowers in the spring and a moon in the autumn. There will be cool breezes in the summer and snow in the winter. The place where we live must be comfortable! What is enough for our small yard?"

Yun Xuemei was also infected by her smile and added: "Then we need to build a small pavilion in the yard! We can drink tea in the pavilion in summer evenings. Let's buy some maids to serve as nursing homes, and I will teach them martial arts."

"Why don't we open a vegetable garden like Wang's family, grow some vegetables, and build a grape trellis. Then I can dry the raisins and make snacks, and I can also make wine and sell it for money."

"Then you need to dig a cool and ventilated cellar! You can't make wine in the sun."

The two of them imagined the future yard with each other's glances, and their hearts became eager.

Qiao Yun geared up and said, "Save money for the house!"

Yun Xuemei said with a smile: "Isn't this the reason why you brought the ointment and sugar? Have you thought about where to build a house in the future?"

This sentence stopped Qiao Yun.

She just thought about leaving this county, but she didn't really remember where to go.

But since she found that the current situation was very similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty, four cities naturally popped up in her mind. The first choice was of course Chang'an. Who wouldn't want to go to Chang'an? Luoyang is as prosperous as Chang'an, and it doesn't need to support the administrative center of the empire.

, the pressure is not great; Yangzhou is also good, it is located in a fertile land like the south of the Yangtze River, without war and chaos, and has a developed economy; Yizhou is also good, after all, Yang Yi Yi Yi Er!

After thinking about it, Qiao Yun suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked an important issue.

What is the situation in this dynasty?

"Auntie, I used to run around in the countryside and didn't know anything about the outside world. You have traveled a lot. Do you know what time it is now?"

"The twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan."

Qiao Yun's eyes darkened.

Isn’t this just a dozen years of peace left?
