I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food
Chapter 30: Money Yamen
"Wait, I haven't paid you for my consultation yet."
Seeing that they were about to leave, the doctor seized the opportunity and spoke quickly.
"How much?" asked the bailiff.
"No more, no less, exactly 10 cents."
The doctor looked at the six people behind the yamen runners and signaled who would pay.
Wang Er looked up at the sky. The four old women turned their heads away and pretended to talk. Only the supervisor took out money from his pocket with a sour face, counted out 10 cents, and handed it to the doctor.
The doctor then retreated with a smile on his face.
Without having time to deal with the stall, the supervisor's family and Wang Er followed the two yamen runners away, but the leading yamen runner stayed behind.
The laborers were like headless flies, feeling somewhat confused. Now that the supervisors had been arrested, they were not sure whether they should continue to work.
"Everyone, please disperse. Do what you need to do. My two brothers will inform the master of this matter when they return. I believe they will send new people in a while."
The remaining yamen runner spoke loudly, calming everyone down.
"Then you guys clean up first, we'll go to work first." Shen Anyi patted the back of Lou Yuexin's hand to comfort her.
Although the problem was solved, everyone was affected and felt a little depressed after this incident.
"Let's clean up quickly and then go home. We won't be setting up the stall for a few days and we should have a good rest." Xu Si said softly.
They have been working for more than 20 days without any rest.
She felt tired even when working five days and having two days off, let alone this.
Although what they do is equivalent to a half-day shift, the work is tiring.
"Okay," Lou Yuexin agreed. She could hardly hold on any longer.
Selling food and embroidering are not tiring at the same time. Embroidery is mainly tiring for the eyes, and the body is a bit stiff from keeping the same posture for a long time.
Selling food is not just physically tiring, but you also have to keep smiling, which is mentally tiring too.
Since they started selling food, they stopped embroidering.
When I entered Mr. Qian's shop, I didn't expect that the yamen runner was also inside.
Xu Si stopped and wondered whether to say hello, after all, they had just separated not long ago.
Old Master Qian was talking to the bailiff. When he saw Xu Si come in, he stood up and smiled.
"A Si, come get some water. Come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is my son. You can call him Uncle Qian."
Xu Si also shouted out loudly following the old man's words.
Uncle Qian smiled faintly and nodded.
"This is the Xu Si I told you about. Ever since they started selling food here, your mother and I don't have to cook lunch anymore, and we eat very well."
"Originally, I was thinking of asking you to take care of them more when you come over, but I didn't expect this situation when we met today. I was very anxious at that time. Fortunately, they didn't succeed in slandering me." Mr. Qian said with a smile.
His sons seldom come over on weekdays, so he and his wife live alone, and sometimes he feels quite lonely.
After spending so much time with Xu Si, he truly treated her as a junior.
Uncle Qian already had a good impression of Xu Si. The girl was calm and composed when faced with difficulties and spoke in an organized manner.
Now seeing the concern in his father's eyes, he also valued her a little more.
Xu Si was also happy to make friends with the other party. In this small county town, the county magistrate was not accessible, and the yamen runners were considered to be relatively high-level officials. It would be convenient for him to get things done.
Since both parties were interested, they naturally had a great time chatting.
Lou Yuexin and Uncle Qian are of the same generation, but there is a difference between men and women. Shen Anyi is not here, so it is not appropriate to say too much. He simply said hello and went to work.
During the conversation, Xu Si was neither humble nor arrogant, listened more and talked less, which made Uncle Qian's evaluation of her rise to a higher level.
Seeing that they had almost finished chatting, Xu Si stood up and said goodbye to go on with his work, not disturbing the father and son anymore.
There has to be a limit to how you get along with anyone. If you stay too long, it will be too much and both parties will feel uncomfortable.
On the way home, Xu Si still felt a little emotional.
I didn't expect that Mr. Qian's son actually works in the government. No wonder he was able to marry a merchant's daughter. It's considered a good match.
"Let's spend more time with Mr. Qian in the future, and treat him as a relative." Lou Yuexin said. She was very familiar with this kind of interpersonal communication, which was considered a compulsory course for the mistress of a marquis's family.
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current person in charge.
They have no roots here, and this is their only chance to establish a connection.
"I know." Xu Si nodded.
Not to mention Uncle Qian's connections, just talking about Old Man Qian, she is also willing to spend more time with him. The best strategy is to exchange sincerity for sincerity.
When I got home, I felt great thinking that I wouldn’t have to set up a stall tomorrow.
The hard work of the day didn't seem so tiring anymore, and everyone started cleaning, making the house look brand new inside and out.
Qi Ning was the happiest, handing a towel to one and a dustpan to another.
After setting up the stall, seeing that everyone was so tired, he was sensible enough not to bother them and just played by himself.
The chickens in the yard have grown quite big. Thanks to Qining's daily feeding of earthworms, supplemented with vegetable leaves and wheat bran, they will probably be able to lay eggs in two months.
The seeds planted in the vegetable garden have now grown large leaves and are lush and green. Racks have also been set up for the cucumbers and beans, ready for them to climb.
"Let's eat noodles tonight, mashed potatoes and noodles." Xu Si made the decision.
I haven’t eaten noodles since I came here. It’s time to change the taste.
"Mashed potatoes can be mixed with noodles?" Lou Yuexin couldn't imagine it. She had never eaten it and couldn't imagine what it tasted like.
"Of course, it's delicious." Xu Si said with a smile.
Carbohydrates paired with carbohydrates is the way to go.
Add some salt to the fine flour, mix it with cold water, stir it into dough, knead it into dough, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
After the time was up, Xu Si continued to knead the dough. After all, the dough needed to be kneaded more to be chewy.
Her great strength played a huge role at this moment, making kneading the dough a breeze.
After kneading, divide the dough into several portions, roll them into pancakes, brush some oil on the surface, and continue to let the dough rest.
During this process, Xu Si started to cook potatoes.
Heat the oil and stir-fry the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the minced meat and stir-fry until it changes color. Pour in the potato cubes and stir-fry. Add salt, pepper powder, soy sauce, and a little sugar. Pour in water to cover the ingredients, cover and simmer.
When the dough was almost done, Xu Si took out the dough, rolled it out, cut it into thin strips with a knife, and stretched them one by one together with the others.
After Shen Anyi and the others come back, put the noodles in when the water boils.
"Qinghuan, help me mash the potatoes and then add the chopped green peppers." Xu Si said to Qinghuan who was standing next to him while stirring the noodles in the pot.
"okay."
After the noodles are cooked, add them into the mashed potatoes and mix well. That's it.
There are also some minced garlic, chopped green onions and vinegar on the table, which can be added according to personal taste.
Xu Si loves vinegar very much. He can’t eat noodles or dumplings without vinegar, and he even dips buns in vinegar.
It’s so delicious. Every noodle is covered with sticky mashed potatoes. Xu Si is a little dizzy from the fragrance.
Before Su Jinyue took a bite, she was still wondering what the strange taste was like, but she didn't expect it to be so delicious that she ate two big bowls.
Qinghuan loved eating potatoes to begin with, and she fell in love with them straight away, eating them without even raising her head.
"Whoever thought of this way of eating is a genius."
