Wang Meihua smiled and said, "Brother, Yunxiao has the final say in our family now. If she says it's okay, don't fight."
Wang Haonan's eyes turned red and he said, "Sister, let's do this. If I make money from selling pastries in the future, I will give Yunxiao 10% of the bonus."
He didn't tell his sister, nor the Gu family. He obviously accepted his niece's love.
He remembered something and continued to ask: "My family has no money to open a shop. After I can make pastries, can I set up a stall to sell them first?"
Another 10% benefit?
Gu Yunxiao was amused in his heart and nodded repeatedly: "Of course!"
As for the 10% benefit, it doesn't matter whether my uncle gives it or not.
Wang Haonan looked at his son and said seriously: "God bless, why don't you thank your cousin!"
Wang Tianyou, who was full of bookishness, stood up and bowed to Gu Yunxiao respectfully to the ground.
This action was chic and elegant yet elegant. Gu Yunxiao had seen it in the costume movies she had watched before the end of the world. Unexpectedly, she was immersed in the scene at this moment. She suddenly panicked, quickly gathered her thoughts, and hurriedly escaped and said: "Cousin, hurry up. do not do that!"
"It should!"
After finishing the evening meal and having nothing to do, Gu Yunxiao said to everyone enthusiastically: "Anyway, there is nothing to do now. You can start building the earth-style oven now."
Wang Tianyou quickly thought of something and asked: "Cousin, is the oven you are talking about used for baking pastries?"
Gu Yunxiao didn't expect his eldest cousin to react so quickly. He nodded and said, "Yes! Once we have the oven, I will teach you how to make pastries."
Wang Tianyou rolled up his sleeves and said, "Cousin, you take command, and I will do it with your strength."
Gu Yunxiao sighed in his heart, his eldest cousin is indeed a good person!
She started to give instructions while Wang Tianyou, Yunlan and Yunduo helped. An hour later, an ugly earth-style oven was built.
Gu Yunxiao said to everyone: "You guys light the fire and dry the inside first. I'll knead the dough and bake a pot of biscuits later."
She added some sugar and eggs, mixed with a piece of egg noodles, and waited until the oven was almost dry before baking a pot of biscuits.
After the biscuits come out of the pan, the aroma immediately wafts out.
Everyone sniffed in unison and said, "It smells so good!"
"Everyone has a try. I will make cakes for you later. The taste will be more intense and attractive. You will definitely like to eat it."
Gu Yunlan and Gu Yunduo looked at me with admiring eyes and said, "Brother, you are so awesome!"
Gu Yunxiao said in a relaxed tone: "What am I so good at? It's because after I became the deputy head catcher, everyone looked up to me and I got to know a lot of people, so I had the opportunity to learn the art of making pastries."
In fact, she didn't want her family to worry.
After taking up the position, she racked her brains in order to gain a firm foothold in the yamen, cling to the county master's thick legs, and avenge her advantageous father.
Thanks to his experience in his previous life, otherwise he would have become a little catcher who was dawdling around.
In this life, she not only wants to protect her family, but also wants to live a better life.
Now that she's here, she doesn't want to be a cabbage on the roadside, she must control her own destiny.
After she recovered her thoughts, she found a piece of bamboo, used a knife to break it into more than twenty pieces, removed the bamboo core inside, and made a simple egg beater.
Then beat fifteen or six eggs in a basin and stir them continuously with a clean egg beater.
Although she was quite strong, her wrists ached slightly after doing mechanical exercises for a long time, and her brows furrowed quietly.
Wang Tianyou realized that his cousin was tired, so he took the initiative to ask for help, "Yunxiao, I'll come..."
Gu Yunxiao handed him the simple egg beater and said, "Cousin, stir quickly and evenly until the eggs are foamy."
"good!"
Wang Tianyou took the simple egg beater and stirred vigorously.
Gu Yunxiao looked at his eldest cousin with a solemn face, and a sentence suddenly sounded in his mind: Men who work hard are the most handsome.
Not to mention, my eldest cousin is still very attractive.
I don’t know whose daughter will benefit from it in the future.
Gu Yunxiao had no idea that when her eyes fell on her eldest cousin's face, her mother and uncle saw her. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Half an hour later, the cake was baked.
After opening the oven, a stronger aroma rushed out and entered the breath of everyone present.
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.
“It smells so good!”
Seeing everyone's greedy looks, Gu Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Don't touch it, it's too hot. Let it dry for a while."
She carefully cut the cake with a knife and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the blacksmith furnace to make a few iron molds, and the cake will have a fixed shape. You can try it."
Everyone picked up the cut pieces of cake and tasted them. The taste was super delicate, sweet and refreshing.
Gu Yunxiao saw everyone's eating habits and said, "It would taste better if you put some fresh milk or fresh goat milk in it."
Gu Yunlan said in surprise: "Brother, this pastry is already delicious, but it's even better. How delicious will it be?"
She asked as she spoke, with a look of anticipation on her face.
Gu Yunxiao said in a comforting tone: "Don't worry, I will definitely find fresh milk tomorrow and make a cake mold so that you will never have enough."
Wang Haonan looked at Wang Tianyou and said, "How about we wait another day and wait until you have mastered the technique of making pastries before going back."
Wang Meihua nodded repeatedly and said: "I think this is the best. After you learn it, you can set up a stall and sell cakes when you go back."
Father and son soon decided to stay.
Gu Yunxiao packed up the side room.
Fortunately, the temperature is suitable during this season, so it's not a big deal to spend a night on a bed made of a few wooden boards.
The next day, after finishing the morning meal, Gu Yunxiao remembered that Brother Murong should ask her about making salt, so he came to the blacksmith shop half an hour in advance, explained in detail the pastry molds he needed, and paid a deposit that made her feel distressed.
Then, he hurried to the Yamen.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Mrs. Wu walking over with a big smile on her face.
"Gu Captor, the old lady has been waiting for you here for a long time. Two sets of clothes are ready. I will find a place to try them on to see if they fit. If not, come to me to change them. I also had underwear and shoes made. These things are all from my heart.”
Gu Yunxiao saw that Po Wu looked completely different from yesterday. He guessed that he and the county magistrate were brothers and let the other party know about it, and he rushed to flatter her.
Gu Yunxiao didn't want to offend the villain, so he smiled and pretended to be confused: "Aunt Wu, I accept your kindness. Thank you very much."
She took the big bundle and looked at it. There were two sets of inner and outer clothing, shoes and hats, and even an ebony hairpin to tie her hair.
This is also diligent!
Mrs. Wu continued to buy in a low voice, "Brother Gu, no one else has these things. Just know what you know and don't tell anyone."
"I know……"
She didn't want to listen to her mother-in-law's nagging, so she carried the bag and walked to Murong Han's house. Before she could walk in, she bumped into someone.
"oops……"
Gu Yunxiao exclaimed and almost fell down, but was hugged by a pair of strong arms, including the baggage and the person.
She quickly recognized that the person who bumped into her was none other than Murong Han.
I was secretly glad that I had a big burden in my arms, otherwise I would have been thrown into the arms of someone else.
Murong Han also realized that it was Gu Yunxiao. After seeing that the other person had stood firm, he let go and said angrily: "Brother, why are you walking so frizzy? Thank you for meeting me. If you met others, you would definitely fall. "
The gentle and caring words came to Gu Yunxiao, and he felt that Brother Murong was like the big brother next door.
My heart suddenly felt warm.
He hurriedly explained, "Brother Murong, I wasn't paying attention just now, and besides, I was walking in a hurry..."
Murong Han said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, don't do this again. By the way, are you free in the morning?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his big hand and touched the top of her furry head.
I muttered in my heart: It feels good, very much like the kitten my mother raised when I was a child.
The sudden head-touch made Gu Yunxiao feel uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, she was holding a bag of clothes in her hands, and her body's flexibility was greatly reduced. She could only pretend not to care if she wanted to hide away.
He looked around and asked cryptically: "Are you going to teach that?"
Murong Han curled his lips and nodded and said, "Yes, I will take you there right now. You can put these things in my room."
"Okay, I'll teach you in half an hour. I have something to do at home in the afternoon and I want to take time off."
"If you have something to do in the afternoon, just go and do it, as long as it doesn't delay the business. I heard from Capt. Song that the portraits of the two men who killed Capt. Gu and escaped have come out, and I saw them. I didn't expect you to be a good painter."
"It won't delay the business. I learned painting when I was a child, but I didn't expect that I would put it to use."
Murong Han looked at Xiaodou's little face with white teeth and red lips, and murmured in his heart: This kid is not old now, how old did he learn it?
He retracted his thoughts and really wanted to touch the other person's porcelain face. Feeling inappropriate, he touched her furry hair again.
"You come with me now and let those people learn it as soon as possible."
"good!"
The two smiled tacitly and walked out.
Gu Yunxiao was half a step behind the other party. When she walked outside, she found that a government servant had brought two horses.
Murong Han obviously wanted to ride a horse.
Gu Yunxiao said in embarrassment: "Brother Murong, I can't ride a horse."
Murong Han said casually: "It doesn't matter, let's ride a horse."
"this……"
"What's the ink stain? Hurry up!"
Murong Han turned over and climbed onto the maroon horse, stretching out his big white hands.
Gu Yunxiao quickly adjusted his mentality. What happened to him? Isn't it just riding a horse together?
Now I am a woman disguised as a man, two men riding a horse, who can say anything?
Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and held the other person's delicate, soft and strong hand, then jumped up and sat in front of Murong Han.
Murong Han clamped his legs on the bay horse's belly, and the horse ran forward at a steady pace.
Gu Yunxiao suddenly felt swaying, and at the same time he felt Murong Han's clean and refreshing breath, as well as the heat of the two people's body contact.
She felt a little nervous, causing her muscles to tense up momentarily.
Murong Han's comforting words came out at the right time: "Brother Gu, everyone will be nervous when riding a horse for the first time. Just relax, I will take care of everything."
Gu Yunxiao knew that Murong Han had misunderstood, and when he heard the concern in his tone, he gradually relaxed.
The body is also in sync with the forward rocking motion of the horse.
After gradually getting used to it, she discovered that riding a horse was really fun.
The scenery on both sides of the road gradually receded, and the wind blew in my face, and the sweat stains on my forehead and body were immediately blown away.
She remembered that she wanted to buy a donkey as a means of transportation last night, and suddenly she felt short-sighted.
"Brother Murong, how much does a horse cost?"
Murong Han quickly understood what she meant and asked with concern: "What? Do you want to learn to ride a horse?"
Gu Yunxiao hesitated before saying: "I just want to know the price, I guess I can't afford it."
Murong Han immediately raised his lips and said with a smile: "Brother, you really can't afford it with your salary. Have you forgotten? I promised you a 10% benefit on that matter? Besides, we are brothers of the opposite sex. You want to learn to ride a horse for transportation, Just choose one from the county government horse pen."
Gu Yunxiao's face suddenly turned red and he said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
A gentle tone rang in his ears, "We are brothers, one horse is nothing."
Gu Yunxiao instantly remembered the coarse salt extraction and storage method. In the face of this technology, it was really nothing for him to give himself a horse.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Murong. I would also like to trouble you to take the time to teach me how to ride a horse."
Murong Han said loudly: "No problem, I like a cheerful personality."
Gu Yunxiao felt delighted when he heard Murong Han's clear and sweet compliments with a hint of magnetism.
With the county magistrate as a big brother, everything will go smoothly in this life.
While they were chatting, Murong Han pointed his riding crop not far away and said, "It's right in front, we're almost there!"
This is the outskirts of the county, similar to a small villa. The manor in front looks very quiet.
Gu Yunxiao suddenly felt a little disappointed. He really wanted to continue riding horses with Brother Murong and enjoy a moment of warmth.
