Chapter 22, Food Delivery

   "Mother, is Daddy busy recently? I haven't seen him much." Daohua asked.

  Mrs. Li put down the account book in her hand and said solemnly: "The court has sent King Rui to help the disaster, so your father can't get busy."

   Daohua wondered: "But isn't the disaster situation in Linyi County not serious?" If you are busy, it should be those places that have been severely affected.

Mrs. Li sighed: "Your father is busy because it is not serious. He is busy resettling the homeless refugees. I heard from Steward Sun that the refugees assigned to Linyi County these days have already arrived. The sky is already so busy that I can eat and drink in the county office in front, so I only go back to the backyard to sleep at night."

   Daohua is a little surprised: "In this way, Daddy is very diligent and caring for the people."

   Hearing this, Mrs. Li showed a proud look on her face: “The Yan family is the home of farming and reading. Your father understands the suffering and suffering of the people below. Since taking office, he has not been indifferent to the people’s affairs.”

  "Linyi County is the third county where your father took office. In the first two counties, when your father left, many people came to see him off, and every time my mother received several carts of fruits and vegetables."

  Hearing this, Daohua was really surprised: "Father loves the people so much, why when my grandmother and I get there, we will encounter a servant who beats others?"

The smile on Mrs. Li's face narrowed a little: "Where will there be no two or three rat shit? Your father has already fined those yaks, and if there is another incident of harming the people, he will hit 30 boards, and then rush. Out of the county government."

   Daohua feels better about her father at this moment.

   "Mother, since Dad is so good, why didn't he get promoted?" Daohua asked her question.

Mrs. Li sighed: "How can you tell the affairs of the officialdom? Although your father is a good official, there is no one to help him. Our family does not have enough silver to take care of. This county magistrate has done one term after another. "

  "This time, your father is so busy, he wants to make some political achievements and see if he can get a promotion. Even if he can't get a promotion, I hope that this assessment can be assigned to a better county."

   Daohua: "Father is going to be assessed?"

  Mrs. Li nodded: “All officials have a small exam a year, and a big exam in three years. Those with outstanding political achievements can be promoted. Linyi County is not rich. Although your father is diligent and conscientious, he has not made any political achievements.”

  "In this assessment, your father said that unless someone above is helping to speak, or has outstanding political achievements, otherwise, the chance of promotion is not great."

   Daohua supports her cheeks with her hands: "Is there really nothing to do with our family?"

  Mrs. Li’s eyes drooped: "It's also something to do. Your four uncles are already Grade 4 officials in the capital. I heard that they have some friendships with the prefects of Zhongzhou, but our family has not had contact with them for some years."

  Inahana straightened up, and said in surprise: "Why?" Fourth uncle, this relationship is definitely close.

  Ms. Li's expression darkened: "Your fourth uncle's family probably thinks that your father's generation will be in the county magistrate, and there is no value in continuing to make friends. In these years, your aunt has rarely contacted the family."

  Ina Flower nodded.

  She knows this. She has heard her grandmother hear it many times, and she looks melancholy every time.

   "Can't we take the initiative to contact my aunt?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li touched Daohua's head and sighed: "Silly boy, you don't know, if a woman marries, if her mother's family doesn't work hard, her life at her husband's house will be very sad."

   "Your uncle's house now makes it clear that it looks down on ours. We are going to disturb your aunt. Your aunt's life will be even more sad."

   "Three years ago, your aunt wrote to tell your father that your uncle took a house with a concubine, and he was very sad in words. Unfortunately, our family could not support her."

  "When your aunt needed us, we could not help her. Now how can we look for her?"

Daohua didn't know how to answer the conversation. After a while, she asked, "Grandma doesn't know about this, right?"

  Mrs. Li shook her head: "Your father didn't dare to tell the old lady, because he was afraid that the old lady would come out in a hurry."

  After that, both mother and daughter were silent.

Suddenly, Daohua smiled and asked, "Mother, can I go to the front yard of the county government office?" She wanted to see how the ancients used to work, and by the way used the food grown in the space to supplement her father's body. , And then contact the relationship.

  Mrs. Li wondered: "That's where your father's office is. What are you going to do?"

   Daohua: "Didn't you say that Dad eats in the front yard these days, I will send him food."

  Ms. Li thought for a while, felt that this could pull in the relationship between the father and daughter, and agreed, but she said, “It’s okay to deliver food, but you shouldn’t interfere with other people’s work, you know?”

   Daohua immediately nodded: "Mother, my daughter can do things well, so don't worry."

  Mrs. Li smiled, turned her head to look at Pingtong: "Watch the big girl, she is not allowed to run around."

   Pingtong smiled and agreed: "Madam, rest assured, I will take care of the big girl."

   Soon, Daohua became busy.

  County government kitchen.

The maid lady   seeing Daohua approaching, she hurriedly got up and saluted.

   "Big girl, why are you here?" The person in charge of the kitchen, Mrs. Ren, said with a smile.

   "I want to give Dad something to eat, let me see what I can do." Daohua wandered around in the kitchen, and took a closer look at the ingredients.

  Ms. Ren said with a grimace: "The big girl is going to cook by herself?"

   Daohua nodded, and she seemed a little embarrassed to see Mrs. Ren, and smiled: "Mother Ren, I won't mess up the kitchen. I'm just here to make soup."

  I know her own cooking skills, she dare to say that the food delivered is entirely based on the fact that the ingredients in the space taste better than the ingredients outside.

  After hearing this, Mrs. Ren was relieved, and then began to compliment Daohua's filial piety with other maids.

  At this time, Ping Tong came over with a small bag of white noodles: "Girl, the white noodles you want."

  Inaba nodded, motioning for her to put it aside.

  This white noodle is produced by Space. When she was still in Yanjiacun, she put the white noodles in other grains and asked the third uncle to bring them together.

  After she came, she took the white flour to her room.

  Pingtong smiled and asked, "What is the girl going to do?"

  Daohua picked out the ingredients, chose some green onions, a few eggs, and it was gone: "Lump soup!"

  Pingtong: "." Sure enough, there should be no expectation.

   Seeing her incomprehensible, Daohua immediately said, "What is your expression, the soup I made is delicious, didn't everyone say it was delicious last time?"

  Pingtong nodded, but said in his heart.

  That is the kind words that people don’t want to save your face.

  Of course, this is because she has never drank it.

  Ignoring other people’s opinions, Daohua started to let the maid boil the water, and then under the dumb gaze of other people, he poured the egg liquid into the white noodles and stirred it a little bit. Once the water boiled, it was poured directly into the boiling water.

  Ren Pozi and Hepingtong et al.:

  I saw such a rough soup-making technique the first time.

  Inaba said, there is space and waywardness!
