"Master, you must be interested in what I just heard." Bafang came out from behind the stove, "It has something to do with Shu Erhua!"
Laicai glanced at Bafang and said, "Why is the young master so interested in the matter of Shu Erhua? Are you also making noise about the rumors spread by others? You know that the young master has nothing to do with her."
"What are you interrupting? That's not what I meant. After all, this is the first lawsuit that the Yamen has decided. It's normal for the young master to be curious about her current situation."
Meng Changqing stirred the stick in the pot from time to time, "I'm not interested or curious. If I get my hands on her, I have to control her for the rest of my life. I'm not such a kind person."
Bafang sat back on the stool in despair, not even interested in what to say.
"Tell me what you want." Meng Changqing said helplessly, "I'm really holding you back. You won't be able to sleep well at night."
Lai Cai joked, "That's not true. If you don't tell him when you're awake, you should just talk in your sleep when you're asleep."
"Speak quickly." Lai Cai urged.
"When I went to Luo Sanmu's house, I happened to hear his woman talking about Shu Erhua. Guess what, someone from the same village planned to tell Luo Yu about Shu Erhua."
When Meng Changqing heard this, he couldn't help but frown, "What you said was already mentioned by Captain Zhang just now."
"Ah?" Bafang asked strangely, "But I just heard this. How does Colonel Zhang know? Those women haven't officially told it yet."
"That's it?" Lai Cai rolled his eyes at Bafang, "I'm not telling you about my wife, why are you working so hard?"
"Aren't you asking the young master? Luo Yu looks much better than the man before Shu Erhua, doesn't he? Although he doesn't talk much, he has no mother-in-law to pressure him at home..."
Before hearing what Bafang said, Meng Changqing dropped the spoon in his hand, "It's time for me to send you back to the capital. Your eyes have fallen to the ground while you were here. I'm afraid you won't be able to pick them up again in the future."
"Hey, Master, don't be angry..."
"Laicai, keep stirring. When it becomes thick and difficult to stir, stop the fire and wait for it to cool down." After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Master!" Bafang chased from behind the stove to the kitchen door. Seeing Meng Changqing's steps getting faster and faster, knowing that the other party was unwilling to pay attention to him at the moment, he did not chase after him, "What did I say wrong?"
"Didn't the young master say it?" Lai Cai asked him to go back and light the fire, "You shouldn't always focus on other people's affairs. Besides, when you said it, you always wanted to make fun of the young master. Do you think the young master can't hear it? We The young master is very shrewd and wants to play tricks on him."
"You really misunderstood me." Bafang explained, "I see that the young master has been writing official documents so early in the morning, and I want to make some gossip to distract him."
"Then you should talk about other things. Why do you always bring two flowers?"
Bafang felt wronged, "Why didn't I mention her all the time? But there are no other strange things in our town. Everyone in the town is spreading rumors about her."
"The young master is staring at the official documents, accounts, and city walls. Which one is not more important than this kind of thing?"
Bafang sighed, "In the past, when we were in the capital, the young master could take us to play on the street if he didn't go to the palace, but when we arrived in Liangzhou, it was all business all day long, and there were endless business matters to deal with."
"What was the young master's status before, and what is his status now? Although the seventh-grade county magistrate is not ranked high in the court, he is still a parent official. Anyone who is serious and responsible will never have time to relax."
Bafang couldn't help but suddenly approached him, "How can you be so talkative now? Are you secretly reading some book behind my back?"
"Watch your head! Sit back and light the fire."
Since Shu Erhua rented at Luo Yu's house, Luo Yu would occasionally come home from the post office to see if she needed help. If she encountered something that she couldn't lift alone, he would give it to her. Give me a hand.
Luo Yu felt sorry for this person. The more he got to know her, the more he felt that it was not easy for her.
I didn't live a good life at my parents' house, but when I arrived at Wang Lamei's house, I met such a tormenting elder again.
Fortunately, the county magistrate opened his eyes and asked both of them to write a divorce document.
After staring at Shu Erhua for a long time, Luo Yu suddenly understood his luck. Although he lost his parents at an early age, he finally had a grandfather to rely on. After his grandfather passed away, the county master made him a post officer and taught him every step of the way. What should he do? A fixed amount of money will be given to him every month.
As he grew up, his only trouble was that there was no one around him to talk to.
After he chopped the firewood in the yard, he moved it into the stove. When he saw the wooden barrel in the pot, the barrel was steaming, and there was a sweet smell in the heat, he couldn't help but ask, "What is this for?" "
"Mizi cake." Shu Erhua opened the lid of the pot and let him see.
After the heat dissipated, all he saw was a reddish-brown color inside, "Why is it this color?"
"The top layer is made of jujube paste." Shu Erhua said, "Didn't the adults ask me to make something that will attract people to buy it? I remembered that when I was a child, I went to Liangzhou market with my villagers and saw this. Unfortunately, I only came from afar. I've seen it from afar but never tasted it.
After trying it several times, this pot tastes the best today. The top layer is jujube paste made from peeled dates, and the bottom layer is ground millet into powder and mixed with some white flour and steamed. You can try it. "Shu Erhua cut a large piece for him without any mercy.
"This thing looks expensive and troublesome." Luo Yu rubbed his hands, not knowing whether to take it or not, "Just cut a corner for me."
"Nothing is wasted." Shu Erhua put the cut millet cake on a plate and handed it to him, "You probably haven't eaten when you come here now, so just use this to fill your stomach."
"It's a pity to use such a good thing to satisfy your hunger."
Luo Yu picked up the plate and took a small sip. He was quite proud of it, "It's so sweet! This tastes much better than millet. They are the same thing. How come this one tastes so good?"
"You eat more."
Probably because it was so delicious, Luo Yu kept eating it.
After watching the other person finish eating, Shu Erhua asked, "How was it?"
"It's delicious!" Luo Yu said with certainty, nodding vigorously.
"Can it be sold?"
"It will definitely sell."
Shu Erhua smiled politely and said, "I have something to trouble you with."
"you say."
"Can you help me give a piece to the county master? He has a lot of experience. If he thinks it is good, I will feel at ease."
Luo Yu looked out the window. It was already completely dark at this time. "It's a bit late today. I'm afraid it's not a good time to go find the adults."
"What about tomorrow?" Shu Erhua said, "I'm not in a hurry. I want the county man to try it, and I also want him to get an idea of how much this thing can sell for, and how to sell it."
Luo Yu had some embarrassment on his face, "You don't have time to take care of these little things, right?"
"I was rash." Shu Erhua was also overjoyed and didn't think of this for a moment, "That's right, then I'll have to figure it out myself."
"Hey." Luo Yu thought Shu Erhua was unhappy, "I can ask the eighth master of the Yamen for you. He has seen a lot of things with you, so he should also know."
Shu Erhua said excitedly: "Thank you very much! I'm really sorry to trouble you!"
