Chapter 17
(ps: Ah, I just realized that I set the wrong time, so I posted it quickly! Thank you Xiaoke for the reward pk, and Xiaoma for the reward. Haha, I’m really happy to see a familiar face again. Happy weekend, please
Everyone has also forgotten it, recommend and collect it~)
Seeing a pretty little girl in Nianfu asking what was going on, the steward, although not angry, thought that she was too young to be of help to him, so he sighed, "Forget it, I can't explain it to you, a kid.
"
But Aunt Song helped Nianfu and said, "By the way, does your wife eat tofu? Her family specializes in making tofu, dried tofu, and her craftsmanship is good. I get all the products from her."
The steward was about to get on his horse, but after hearing this, he paused for a moment, frowned and said, "But doesn't the tofu taste the same when it's cooked? I guess Madam won't like it either."
"That's not necessarily true!" Nianfu vaguely felt that this was a big fish, and quickly tried to sell it, "May I ask if your wife is pregnant? Pregnant people should eat more tofu. It is easy to digest and easy to mix. It is bitter and spicy.
Sweet and sour, you can eat it however you want."
The manager was amused, "You're a smart girl, how could you guess that our wife is unhappy?"
Nianfu pursed his lips and smiled, "If it weren't for being so happy, who would be looking for food on the street? Uncle, if you trust me, can you take me to try it?"
Just when the steward was about to answer, he suddenly saw a young man rushing out from next door, "Stay here, stay here! I will recommend someone to you, maybe he can cook the dishes that the lady in the house wants to eat!"
The young man in front of me is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. He has not yet reached his crown. He is wearing a straight-fronted satin coat with a maple leaf pattern on a soot background. His jet-black hair sets off his fair and delicate facial features.
Even someone like Nian Fu, who has seen all kinds of beautiful men, was stunned for a moment. There was only one very hypocritical sentence in his mind: A gentleman is like an orchid, and he is as gentle as jade.
Hoho, I can't calm down anymore.
Because she also quickly remembered that this handsome man was the guy who splashed muddy ideas all over her that day! But why did he come to compete with her for her job?
I'm so worried about blessings. No matter how good-looking a handsome guy is, he can't be eaten! Of course, if you have a fish and a bear's paw, you should give up the fish and take the bear's paw;
She said anxiously, "Are you reasonable? I was the one who came here first!"
The handsome man looked at her seriously, with a hint of amazement flashing through his eyes, but he said with the same persistence, "There is no age to learn, and those who have mastered it come first. Even though you came here first, you can't stop others from recommending this girl."
Isn’t it?”
His voice was a little hoarse, and if you look closely, his face was also a little pale, as if he was just recovering from a serious illness. Normally, Nianfu would not have the heart to bully such a weakling, but it was related to the livelihood of the whole family, so she couldn't help but say, "Since you are a scholar,
Don’t you know that a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood? Looking at what you are wearing, you are not a person who is worried about making a living. Why bother with me, a little girl who has to go out to make a living during the Chinese New Year? "
The handsome man didn't expect her to say such words, and his face softened a lot at that moment, and he said sincerely, "If it were for me, I would not fight with you. But the person I want to recommend is also struggling to make a living.
Speaking of which, I may be more pitiable than you, girl."
Not angry after reciting the blessing, "Since you know I'm pitiful, why don't you help me? Instead, you come to block my way?"
The handsome man looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to help, but it's because there are some hidden secrets that I have no choice but to tell, so I asked the girl to make it easier for me."
"I helped you, so who will help me? You kindly helped that family, but your family had no food to eat. Where can we reason?"
The beautiful man was stunned on the spot. He felt that this question was actually more difficult than any problem in books in his life. For a moment, he was at a loss.
On the other hand, the steward and Aunt Song were listening to the fun for a long time. At this time, Aunt Song said, "You two, stop arguing. In my opinion, the steward, why don't you take these two back, who did it?"
Who can be left here? After all, his wife doesn’t just give up on one thing. If you have skills, why don’t you have a place to show them off?"
Uh... That's true. Nianfu apologized sheepishly, "I was in a hurry just now. I'm sorry for any offense I caused." The conflict was resolved, but he still had to leave a good impression on the handsome guy.
The handsome man also said politely, "I was reckless just now and didn't think carefully. I hope you can forgive me."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to come and worship me. It's not like you want to worship heaven and earth." The manager made a random joke, which made both of them blush, and then he asked the pretty boy, "Are you?
Who is from the Cui family?"
The handsome man smiled and said, "That's my uncle's house."
Oh! The steward nodded, "It turns out that he is also the son of a wealthy family, so I am disrespectful. But although the Cui family is an old family, they say there are no good cooks left. Who do you want to recommend, sir?"
In fact, in his mind, this handsome man is much more reliable than Nianfu. At least he is dressed like a rich man, and maybe he really knows how to be a good cook.
The beautiful man said excitedly, "It's the Shi family who makes tofu in the city. His family has a granddaughter who is very smart. I think she can make dishes that will satisfy the wife."
Ah uh... Now it was not only Nian Fu who was dumbfounded, but also Aunt Song. She looked suspiciously at the handsome man again, "The one you want to recommend is Sister Mu?"
The handsome man nodded, "Yes, it's her! You also know?"
Aunt Song said nothing, but pointed at Nianfu, "Then do you know who she is?"
The handsome man shook his head honestly, "When we first met, I didn't recognize which girl it was."
Then he took another look at the beautiful red phoenix eyes of the girl opposite, who kept looking at him blankly, but she blushed slightly unconsciously, and her heartbeat also showed signs of accelerating. Oh, why is she still looking!
Aunt Song thought about it and asked, "How did you know that Sister Mu can cook?"
The handsome man tried hard not to look at the girl and answered truthfully, "She used to help cook at my house, so she knows."
Nianfu's eyes widened, and his mouth opened into a silly O-shaped shape. He raised his voice and asked, "You...are you the eldest young master of the Ouyang family?"
"Exactly." The handsome man admitted and looked at her again doubtfully, "Ouyang Kang, girl, who do you recognize in my family?"
sky!
His surname is Ouyang, how dare he call him Kang? Nianfu's mind has automatically imagined a terrifying scene of two scumbags merging into one.
Aunt Song burst into laughter, "This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. One family no longer recognizes the other. Ah, you can't say that." She pointed at Nianfu with a smile and introduced, "This is
Sister Mu, the person you want to recommend is her!"
This time, it was the "double scumbag"'s turn to be dumbfounded. After being dumbfounded, his handsome face burned like a cooked prawn, and he stammered, "This...how do you say this...I,
That me..."
Aunt Song smiled and pushed Nianfu, who was still in her thoughts, in front of the steward, "Look, look, even the young master of the Ouyang family came to recommend her, she must be good. Why don't you take her back and give her a try?"
, if you can, I will finish your errand, and secondly, you can help this girl. Her family suffered a disaster years ago, and it is not easy to sell tofu in this cold winter. If you are celebrating the New Year, please help if you can.
Take it."
The manager also laughed when he heard this, "It's easy to talk. But Sister Mu, if I invite you, when can you go?"
Nianfu came to his senses and replied quickly, "I can go there tomorrow! I just don't know how far away your home is and how to get there?"
The manager was hesitant, "My family is easy to find out. Just ask where the county government is. It's just difficult to travel in this snowy weather. It's still more than ten miles away from here. Do you have a way to come here by yourself?"
Nianfu felt a little worried after hearing this. It’s more than ten miles away. It’s not that far. Try walking! There is no asphalt road at the moment. People are not even allowed to take the better official roads. Those civilian roads are full of potholes and mud.
, this little bit of road is enough to take half a day.
She asked Aunt Song, "Can Auntie help me hire a car? Or a donkey. I also want to bring some tofu, but I can't hold it with my hands."
Aunt Song shook her head in embarrassment, "If we wait until the fifteenth day, it will not be difficult to hire a car, but where can we find people now? I have a flatbed truck at home, but it can only be pushed. Besides, I will open my business tomorrow.
, I can’t spare anyone to accompany you.”
Ouyang Kang suddenly said, "I have a solution for this. Will I pick you up at your home tomorrow?"
The handsome man is so good! His eyes suddenly turned red when he said the blessing, "That's a lot of work. Many people in the Doufu Shi family know this, and you can't be wrong if you ask about it."
Seeing that the matter was settled, the person in charge was about to leave. He still felt that Nianfu was unreliable, so he planned to visit a few more towns and find some restaurant cooks to try.
Although Nianfu saw what he meant, he didn't say much. He only told Ouyang Kang the direction of his home, then settled the money with Aunt Song, and happily trotted back and forth to pick up Huiniang.
It stands to reason that even if Madam Hui walked slowly with her burden, she wouldn't have been here for so long. Just curious, when Nianfu walked out of this street, she knew what was going on.
A drunken pig head came out of nowhere and brought two servants with him, blocking Hui Niang in an alley and entangled her.
Madam Hui was so angry that she was in a dilemma, but no one was passing by on that road, and she couldn't seriously argue with a drunkard. If it hurt someone, it would be her fault. But the pig head didn't know what to do, and kept stumbling.
The son fell on her, trying to take advantage. Hui Niang was afraid of getting involved with this man, and she was also afraid that he would damage her family's burden, so she could only avoid it at every turn.
Seeing her mother being bullied, Nianfu's blood rushed to the top of her head. She ran over, picked up a lump of slush from the ground, and threw it at the back of the drunk man's neck. Like a little hen, he rushed up to protect his mother and rushed towards the man.
Roar, "Go away! If you get drunk, go back to your house and go crazy. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
Although he was angry, he still kept his sense when reciting blessings. He knew that certain things such as teasing women from good families should not be said. If someone with a heart heard about it, everything would become serious.
On such a cold day, the feeling of the cold slush falling on the neck was not pleasant. The man was suddenly sober. When he saw a young and beautiful girl who was very similar to Huiniang, he was startled.
He was startled, "Huh? Why is there another Hui Niang?"
A servant next to him helped him, "Master, this is Hui Niang's daughter."
The pig head suddenly smiled, and his eyes were obviously clear, but he relied on the strength of the wine and said, "Hey, I didn't expect Tofu Xishi's daughter to be so beautiful. That's just right, buy the big one and give the little one free, why don't we go back to the house with the master!"
