Chapter 102 Master Li Comes Again
And so, Yun Ting stayed.
The eldest young master who stayed behind is still the eldest young master and has not changed his appearance.
He goes to the stall every day and sits there like a big boss. No matter how many people come, he won't offer his hand.
Of course, Lu Qiniang didn't want him to help either.
When Erya was unhappy, she asked him for help, but he ended up breaking something or spilling something, and it really made things worse.
Lu Qiniang also felt that Yun Ting was born into a good family in this life.
If this happened in a poor family, they would have starved to death long ago.
Seeing that Lu Qiniang was always polite to him and Yun Ting only caused trouble, Xiao Yan brought Yun Ting with him.
Xiao Yan has been a bit busy recently.
Liu Xing wanted to build a large warehouse at the dock and charge a fee for storing goods.
Xiao Yan is very experienced in preserving things and preventing them from getting wet and getting rid of insects, and he has put in a lot of effort.
The warehouse required a lot of investment, and Liu Xing also spent a lot of money this time, taking out hundreds of taels of silver that he had saved over the years.
He said that it was mainly because of the ice-breaking trip before the New Year that he earned three hundred taels. Before that, he had only saved a hundred taels in total, and that was after he got married. Tong was a person who lived a simple life, and she saved that money with great difficulty.
This amount of silver was not enough, so Liu Xing borrowed some more.
So Liu Xing’s entire fortune was at stake, and he couldn’t make any mistakes.
Yun Ting likes to be in a lively environment and likes to be among men.
Maybe she was hurt because she grew up surrounded by cosmetics.
Without him around, Lu Qiniang felt relieved.
Every time she saw Yun Ting, she felt the tension of being a servant in the Zhou family, having to pay attention to her master all the time.
When will this ancestor come home?
After a few days, the weather suddenly changed, strong winds blew continuously, and all the ships stopped.
After Lu Qiniang and Xiao Yan discussed it, they also decided to take a two-day break and relax with the children.
She did the math and found that she had earned more than one hundred taels of silver in two months, which was really encouraging.
Daya wants to make green rice dumplings.
"The mugwort at this time is all old." Lu Qiniang said.
"It's okay, Mom. I looked over there on the riverbank. There's a patch of mugwort there. I can find some tender ones."
I was too busy to make it when I was eating Qingtuan, so I’m making it up now.
This is what Daya learned from a master from Jiangnan in the Zhou family. The eldest wife of the Zhou family is from Jiangnan.
"Who wants to eat that stuff? It's sticky and not tasty." Yun Ting said with disgust.
"If you eat it, you're a dog!" Arya snorted.
"You are the dog."
Erya went to chase Yunting. Yunting ran and accidentally stepped on Erya's Impatiens, which caused a big trouble.
San Ya sat on Xiao Yan's lap, learning poetry from him, nodding her head.
The whole house was bustling with activity.
Daya came back with some mugwort, and the whole family gathered together to make green rice dumplings, and Yunting also came to join in the fun.
Lu Qiniang used a stone mortar to vigorously crush the mugwort, filtered out the dark green juice with a veil, and poured it into a large bowl filled with glutinous rice flour.
Daya kneaded the dough, and the green color of the dough gradually changed from light to dark. When the dough was finally kneaded, the surface was smooth, revealing a bit of the moistness of the Ru kiln's sky blue glaze.
She rolled the kneaded dough into long thin strips, divided it into small even pieces, and kneaded them into round skins.
Xiao Yan ground sesame powder, mixed it with lard residue, rolled it into small golden balls and hid them in the green dumpling.
Yun Ting came over to join in the fun, but secretly licked the stuffing on his fingertips. Erya hit the back of his hand with a rolling pin, and he screamed.
When the sunset dyed the sky red, the green rice balls swelled into fat baby faces in the steam and were hung to dry on the reed curtains soaked in well water.
Daya cooked a table full of dishes, including fish and meat, which was very rich.
"Dad, Mom, try the peach blossom wine I brewed." She took out a jar of wine and said with a smile.
This is a new brew this year and it’s the first time I’ve opened it.
Because the weather was already hot, the food was placed under the grape trellis.
The moonlight is pleasant, the family is gathered together, and everyone is escaping poverty and moving towards a well-off life. How can one not be happy?
Just as I was about to sit down, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Qiniang was closest to the door and stood up to open it.
Seeing the people outside, she said happily: "Master Li, Uncle Ting, why are you here? Come in quickly. It's better to come at the right time than to come early. It's time for dinner! Xiao Yan, your grandfather is here. Daya, add two sets of bowls and chopsticks..."
"Grandpa? Xiao Yan, who dares to impersonate your grandpa?" Yun Ting jumped up and said.
"You bastard, you're here too." Master Li walked in, scolding and laughing, "I heard your voice from far away."
His health was obviously worse than before, and he could hardly walk steadily. Teng Wenfu supported him nervously.
Yun Ting's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Emperor... Hey! Who stepped on me! Erya, you damn bitch!"
Daya silently withdrew her foot.
Erya was furious, "My name is Zhuozhuo, Zhuozhuo! Only my mother can call me Erya!"
"Grandpa." Xiao Yan stepped forward and saluted, supporting Master Li. "Why are you..."
"I've always wanted to come and see it, but I didn't have time. Today, I suddenly had the urge to come and take a look. I didn't expect that I could even have a free meal."
"Yun Ting, why don't you come over and pay your respects to your uncle?" Xiao Yan said, giving Yun Ting a warning look.
Yun Ting understood a little, lowered his head and called out "Uncle", then stood dejectedly by the side like a quail.
"Hahaha," Arya laughed at him, "So you're afraid of someone too."
"I'm not afraid of my uncle. He's the best to me. I'm afraid of my father. My father..."
His father said that if he dared to act rashly in front of the emperor, he would skin him alive.
"Your father has disowned you, and no one cares about you anymore." Erya stuck out her tongue at him.
"Er Ya!" Lu Qiniang glared at her, "Why don't you help move the table!"
Now that Mr. Li is here, we have to split into two tables.
"Idiot, what are you standing there for? Come and help!" Erya didn't dare to refute Lu Qinniang, and stomped her feet and scolded Yun Ting.
Yun Ting went there reluctantly.
"When did this devil come?" Mr. Li said with a smile after sitting down.
"He has been here for a few days and refuses to go home." Xiao Yan said.
"Then let him know a little about the sufferings of the world."
Lu Qiniang asked, "Have you gone home to take your medicine? I see you're even sicker today than last time. Is the medicine not working? I'll go find Old Hu and come back to check on you."
"Don't bother." Master Li said, "My health will never improve."
"No! I can't take medicine worth three taels of silver without getting better. I'm going to find Lao Hu!"
"No, abandoned mother, I didn't eat it."
Lu Qiniang was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "How can you joke with your own body? If you can't afford it, just tell us, and we can all pool our money. If you don't believe it, then at least try it! It's better to give it a try than to die. You have nothing to lose..."
"Abandoned Mother." Xiao Yan interrupted her, "Grandpa has a stubborn temper. I'll go talk to him later. Isn't there still pheasant soup simmering in the pot? It's time to serve it out."
"Oh oh oh, yes, I'll go right away." Lu Qiniang left in a hurry.
However, Xiao Yan did not try to persuade Master Li, but just stood quietly beside him with his hands hanging down.
Master Li looked at the cozy courtyard in the night and said, "If there is an afterlife, I also hope to be an ordinary person, with three or five acres of land and a small courtyard, cough cough cough——"
