"Abbot, it's us!" the young monk corrected immediately.
"Go get my key! I need to get the banknotes out."
The monk immediately ran in: "Yes! Abbot!"
As the abbot watched the carriage go away from the foot of the mountain, he immediately clasped his hands together and said, "I hope she can see this Miss Ning!"
Ning Xiaotang squinted in the carriage, thinking in her heart that Fang Zhen was lucky enough to be bailed out by her eldest brother, even though it was Old Man Ning who delivered the silver note.
But what she didn't understand was that Ning Zilin was trying to give Fang Zhen some leniency.
But did Fang Zhen accept this relaxation?
"Ling Hu, how is Fang Zhen doing now?"
"My dear, Fang Zhen has brought Liu Sanhong back to Ningxiahe Village. As his legal wife, Chen Erni cooks and washes clothes at home every day. Although Fang Baihan doesn't say anything, she knows that Fang Zhen stole the Ning family's soap and caused this incident.
Liu Sanhong was not accepted by Fang Baihan, who always made her live in the storage room, but Fang Zhen also went into the storage room every day.
”
"Chen Erni is so unlucky. She thought she was marrying a perfect husband, but who knew he was such a greedy man. Her family is already living in poverty, but she still follows others in supporting concubines?" Ning Xiaotang narrowed her beautiful eyes.
"Miss, are you going to deal with Fang Zhen?" Quan Yue immediately poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Hmph, as long as Fang Zhen does what he's supposed to do, I won't cause him any trouble. However, if he dares to covet my Ning family soap again, I'll definitely give him a good beating. I'm not just the eldest brother, I have no friendship with him!"
Quan Yue immediately swallowed her saliva: "But, girl, that old man Fang seems to have a good relationship with you."
"Uh~! I was so focused on Fang Zhen that I forgot about Old Man Fang." Ning Xiaotang reached out and scratched her ear.
"What should we do with the girl?" Banyue immediately asked in embarrassment.
"It's okay, everything will work out in the end, no need to worry!"
When the Ning family returned to the Ning residence, they saw Old Man Ning leading a group of people at the door, welcoming them with a smile on their faces.
"Wife, you've been running around with Tangtang for several days. I miss her so much. Come on, let me have a good look at her!"
"Master, I'm here!" Ning Xiaotang immediately showed her cute little head in the carriage behind.
"Hey, my dear Tangtang, come and let me take a good look at you. You have grown a lot taller!" Ning Zhenyu immediately praised happily.
"Growing taller means that the vegetarian food in Fuguang Temple is nourishing!" said Old Mrs. Ning and Luo Xiangqin.
"Grandpa, Grandma, the vegetarian food at Fuguang Temple is delicious, but I prefer the crispy pork, fried fish, and crispy shrimp from our Ning family!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately looked like a greedy kitten.
Chen Ya immediately stepped forward and said, "Okay, Auntie, take the vegetables you've sold to the kitchen and prepare them. We can have them for lunch soon!"
"Thank you, auntie!" Ning Xiaotang said sweetly to Chen Ya.
"Okay, eat more later!" Chen Ya immediately ordered the servants to carry fish and shrimp into the kitchen.
"Ya'er, please marinate the meat later. I will make the crispy pork myself." Luo Xiangqin immediately said to Chen Ya.
"Yes, mother!" Chen Ya immediately took people downstairs to prepare.
Liu Lanqing immediately stepped forward and said, "Tangtang has been clamoring for delicious food since she came back, but has she been hungry these past few days?"
"Mom, I'm not hungry, but I just want to eat delicious food. I'm greedy~!" Ning Xiaotang immediately smiled sweetly.
"Master, where are my eldest uncle, second uncle, and father? Why aren't they here to greet us?"
"Oh, I just remembered that the three of them went to harvest the crops. It should be a busy time now!" Old man Ning immediately smiled, happy that he had a lot of income from grain this year.
"Master, you planted corn for your crops. I'll let you taste what corn paste is later." Ning Xiaotang smiled immediately.
"Is it the yellow grain with sticks?" Old Man Ning immediately stared at Ning Xiaotang and asked.
"Yeah, that's the one!"
"I have already sent some over to the kitchen. The kitchen staff is worried about how to eat them." Old man Ning shook his head.
"Master, I'll go to the kitchen now and ask them to prepare it." Ning Xiaotang had just finished speaking when she took small steps towards the kitchen.
After coming to the kitchen, I asked Quanyue and Banyue to peel the corn kernels, and then grind the corn with a mill. After grinding, the corn weighed about several pounds and was packed in a small cloth bag.
"Boil a pot of water immediately, Quanyue."
Ning Xiaotang gave the order, and then Quan Yue started boiling a pot of water next to her.
When Ning Xiaotang saw the water boiling, she said, "Sprinkle half a spoonful of corn paste on top. Don't sprinkle it too quickly. Sprinkle it slowly to prevent the corn paste from clumping."
Ban Yue did as she was told. "Ban Yue, stir the paste quickly with a spoon."
Then Banyue kept stirring the corn paste in the pot.
At this time, a pot of golden corn paste came out.
"Give everyone a bowl of corn paste. Remember to bring a small spoon because corn paste is very fragrant. Don't waste it." Following Ning Xiaotang's instructions, the servants did as they were told, and Luo Xiangqin and Chen Ya worked together to make several dishes that Ning Xiaotang wanted to eat just now, plus a few side dishes.
When Old Man Ning saw his corn cobs turned into a bowl of golden corn paste, he felt warmed to his heart and stomach after taking a sip.
"This is so delicious! It's so warming to drink in the fall. It would definitely be even better in the winter!"
"Just drink as much as you want. I think there's more in the pot!" Luo Xiangqin was also sitting opposite Old Man Ning and preparing to eat.
"I thought this corn was unpalatable. The grains are so big that I can't even bite them." Old man Ning muttered to his wife in a low voice at this time.
"Look, Tangtang actually knows how to eat this corn. Could it be that someone has mentioned it to her?" Luo Xiangqin said.
"Who cares how Tangtang knew that? The most important thing is that Tangtang is smarter than us and loves reading. Maybe she learned it from a book."
Tangtang: “…” Grandpa is really nice and found a good excuse.
After a while, Tangtang came in and said, "Grandpa, grandma, there's another way to eat this corn paste. It's made into corn buns by mixing it with white flour. They're also very delicious."
"Can it be eaten like this?" Luo Xiangqin immediately put down the bowl. She had just taken a bite and the corn porridge was so fragrant that it made her excited.
For Luo Xiangqin, who has bad teeth, corn paste is more delicious than white rice.
"Grandma, I still have a lot of cornmeal paste I just ground. I'll ask my aunt to steam it into cornmeal buns for everyone to eat in the evening."
"Okay, I'll listen to Tangtang. Ah Yuan, please call Yaer over and I'll talk to her."
"No need, grandma. I just told my aunt in the kitchen. She knows."
