Husband, Have Dinner

The matter is over for Bai Yun, and in a short time no iceman will dare to come and propose marriage to Ayao.

The ice man came to ask for a kiss, and the future of that talented talent was half ruined. It was only because A Yao was unwilling to agree to the marriage. This matter was publicized. Who else would dare to come to ask for marriage? This girl has a strong personality if it is not easy to provoke. Wouldn't it be troublesome to marry home?

Ayao couldn't ask how they loved to spread it, so she didn't have to open the door to hear the iceman say "Girl, I see you are getting good things coming soon."

The shop was open as usual, but the number of customers began to dive. It was only three or four days from the crowd of customers to three or two kittens, and then to the sparrows. All this was only due to the hotter weather.

Oppositely, the shop specializing in the business of women’s households was left in the cold, and ordinary girls don’t like to come out on the street. The ice sellers dared to walk through the streets and alleys. I rushed into Sunniang's foot shop and ordered a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and ebony plum soup. I added crushed ice to cool off the heat, but it was still not enough to quench my thirst. Then I had another bowl of houttuynia cordata pear soup, which was more comfortable.

"God, this thief, it rained and started to be a demon again. The weather was not so abnormal in previous years."

The ice vendor slurped two bowls of soup and drank it, feeling that the whole person was finally alive, "Your ebony soup smelled sour and drooling. After drinking it, I don’t feel good. I need something more to quench my thirst, this houttuynia cordata. The Sydney pears are really good, they are very sweet, and I have two pears after drinking, and I will have another bowl."

"Another bowl is okay, but this time you don't add ice. You drink two different drinks and add ice again. Beware of troubles. Your family can trust you." Song Fang packed his bowl and said, selling The ice hawker is also a regular customer of their store. After selling the ice, he comes to rest, spends a few copper plates to buy one or two bowls of tea, mixed with a little bit of the remaining crushed ice water.

"I know," said the vendor. "Then I want a hot bowl this time?"

Sunniang interrupted, "Don't be cold and hot. It's not an idea to help the doctor's business. Yaozhu certainly doesn't agree. It's not easy for anyone in this hot day. Please forgive the doctor."

The hawker talked about it, and suddenly thought of something, "I glanced across the moat and felt that the water was running out. It is said that the farmland outside the city was cracked. I see this year's harvest..." The hawker shook his head and spit out the word "hang." "

The grandson frowned, "Really?"

"I lied to you. If you don't believe me, you can go to the rice shop to find out if the price of food is more than ten dollars more than before." The hawker said, "I thought that the rain eased the drought, but I didn't expect it to be just a little surprise. After the alms, the price of rice will go up and the price of rice will go up. As they said...this year I am afraid it will be suffering."

The severe drought is a matter of people’s livelihood and people’s worries. How could it not be mentioned in the temple? What makes the officials of Sinong Temple even more troublesome is that according to the weather, if the weather continues, the harvest may have to be harvested. Locust plague.

The overwhelming migratory locusts symbolize the failure of the king.

The officials of the Lingtai Division Tianjian were also worried. Various astronomical signs have shown that this year is very likely to be a drought year. The friendly friends from the Sinong Temple next door sent them a letter saying that there are signs of locust plagues in many places. Remedy, minimize the loss, otherwise they will be even more miserable when the sins of the Holy Spirit are revealed.

Regardless of the fact that the officials of Sinong Temple and Sitianjian are all technical officials, they may not be better than the officials of the three provinces and six ministries in terms of tactics, and they are also lower in terms of official rank. According to the information left by the officials of the agricultural industry, there are always a few things that have been discovered throughout the past dynasties--

With history as a guide, severe droughts and small droughts have followed successive locust plagues, and even population declines and the decline of the government. In severe cases, it will lead to uprisings or foreign invasions.

Food is sufficient, the world is rich, the people are safe and the country is peaceful, turbulence started from famine, if even the most basic desire of fullness is not satisfied, rising up is just a matter of shouting. The country is vast and there are so many coveted people. As long as the people can be fed, how can they care who is sitting on the dragon chair? From another point of view, there is no food to fill the stomachs of the soldiers, what they use to fight the war and what to defend the city.

At present, the water level of rivers in many places is falling, and it is necessary to drill deep wells to take the water from underground rivers. The government guarantees the daily drinking water of the people, and the people also need to abandon wheat and rice to plant beans. Compared with rice and wheat, beans need more water. Less, it is said that locusts don't like to harm beans.

They made suggestions for digging a deep well, but the Ministry of Households had an opinion, and they stretched out two fingers, one meaning, and no money.

The reason is very simple. Last year’s harvest was good. You can’t think of it as a dry year just because there is no rain after the Dragon Boat Festival this year. If there is no rain in the capital not long ago, it will protect us.

In a while, the locusts will be familiar in the ground, and you will soon be able to see the migratory locusts all over the sky. The people's livelihood must be prevented before they happen. The officials of Sinong Temple couldn't help but smash the Huhu.

Sitianjian and Sinongsi were in the same position, and the three parties were unable to talk to each other at the court meeting, and then...the discussion was postponed.

Si Tianjian was instructed to continue to measure the weather and see when it rained.

In the days before it rained, there were no conclusions about the fact that Sinong Temple had fought with Hubu in several court meetings in the temple, while a rumor has quietly emerged in the suburbs and other places.

In a blink of an eye, A Yao received an order in late August.

Only after arriving did I know that this family had invited her more than just one person.

The maid led her to the kitchen. The cooks and their assistants glanced at her, looked at her from the beginning to the end, Mingwu flashed in their eyes, and the corners of their mouths hummed and bowed their heads to work.

"Today, there are two banquets in the mansion. They were just those two banquets." The maid said, carefully avoiding them, and led A Yao to the stove in the deepest part of the kitchen that no one has occupied. "This is yours, girl. Please forgive me for the limited number of stoves in the work place." She drew out the palm-sized area, and there was only one pot and one steamer.

When she took the order, the host didn't make any request. When she got here, after seeing the stove, she found that there was no material? Asked the maid, "What are the ingredients and the host's favorite dishes, are there any taboos?"

The maid said, "The ingredients are here, and there is no need for the girl to prepare too complicated food. The sixth girl likes to have a light diet. You can just make some soup or porridge."

"Huh? Not a banquet?"

Ayao followed the maid’s fingers and was silent for a while, and then listened to her tone, it seemed that she was preparing dishes for Six Girls, not like other cooks who were in charge of some of the dishes in the two banquets.

"It's a small banquet. The six girls are going to ask her handkerchiefs to show flowers and chant poems." The maid said, "This little door goes out to the lotus pond. If the girl needs any ingredients, please move to the lotus pond. There are still important things, one step ahead."

"..."

The ingredients are a bunch of lotus, chrysanthemum and jasmine, making soup, making porridge, and handkerchief? Small feast?

No, why does she feel so unreliable?
