Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Seventh Dark Clouds Surging
No matter, no matter what, this is cooked by the girl herself, which represents her filial piety. Grandpa should not be to blame! The cooks gritted their teeth and brought this large plate of stewed dishes, together with the same exquisite dishes, to the table of the lady of the country.
When this dish of stew that "can't be on the table" appeared on the table, it seemed so out of place. Jun Miao'er even showed an expression of disgust: "What's the taste! Braised vermicelli with sauerkraut and pork? This dish is only eaten by people in the North who are too poor to eat meat. No family will eat it. Hurry up and serve it, so as not to affect your aunt's appetite. "
Jun Miaoer originally created a gentle, generous, elegant and beautiful ladylike character, and it has always been well maintained. However, as Ding Fang'er became more and more favored, she gradually lost her temper. She couldn't understand why her aunt was so nice to her when she knew it was a fake. Could it be... Are you going to accept this country girl as a righteous daughter?
No, she couldn't let this country bumpkin take her place, so in front of her aunt, she never forgot to give Ding Fang'er a small blow. Seeing the pickled cabbage noodles, she naturally understood that it was the craftsmanship of that country girl. Want to please your aunt with your cooking skills? Are you the chef of your own Ching Fung House? It's no wonder my aunt could eat this rotten, sticky dish!
Jun Li'er frowned and looked at the dish, but didn't say anything, but took a food box from her maid, took out a plate of squirrel mandarin fish, and said with a smile, "Aunt, this is me. The squirrel mandarin fish is the most appetizing, sweet and sour. You can try it...”
Jun Miao'er put her hand under the table and tugged at the veil. What a good Jun Li'er, finally showing the fox's tail, right? Relying on the fact that his family is better than himself, he spends money to buy dishes from Qingfenglou to please his aunt. A dish in Qingfeng Building can range from a few taels to hundreds of taels. Jun Li'er's move is really lavish! She thought to herself how much money she could use in her small vault, and she felt a little frustrated.
Jun Shi showed a gentle smile: "You are all filial good children!"
She was the first to taste the pickled cabbage vermicelli, and nodded approvingly to the slightly embarrassed Ding Fanger: "This dish is very authentic and has the taste of hometown. When I was a child, the war was undecided, and my family lived in seclusion in a mountain village. It's been a rough day.
In my memory, during the Chinese New Year, every family in the village stewed and killed pig dishes. Among them, the sauerkraut pork noodles were shiny, and the sauerkraut had the aroma of pork. When my brothers saw that I was eating deliciously, they only took a chopstick symbolically and ate the rest with me! At that time, although the life was poor, the family was very strong..."
Ding Fang'er heard it, her eyes were bright, and she said with infinite aftertaste: "Yeah! My father is a good pig butcher. Whenever anyone in the village wants to kill a pig, he will be invited. It's fragrant, and everyone is willing to ask her to help. When I was young, my parents often took me to eat pork-killing vegetables. At that time, I looked forward to the New Year every day!"
Jun Li'er already knew Ding Fang'er's identity, so she was afraid that her aunt would see something, so she helped cover up: "Cousin, are you talking about your adoptive parents? I didn't expect your adoptive parents to treat you very well. It hurts to be your own. However, such a slip of the tongue can’t happen again in the future, your father’s and mother’s uncle and aunt!”
Jun's took Ding Fang'er's hand, patted it lightly, and said with a smile, "It is said that raising a kindness is greater than heaven, and Fang'er's adoptive parents raised her so much that they should be called 'parents' as well. Fang. Son, as a human being, you must not be ungrateful. The kindness of others will be repaid in the future. This time your elder brother and younger brother are going to Yancheng, do you have anything you need them to pass along?"
Ding Fang'er was so moved that her nose was sour. The lady was too gentle and kind. Before the real girl from the government's palace came back, she must keep this secret and honor her for the girl. She said in a slightly nasal tone: "No need, I just asked someone to bring back thirty taels of silver. Enough to spend at home for a while!"
"Then let your eldest brother go to the warehouse to find some Songjiang cloth and bring it with you." Songjiang cloth looks like cotton, but it is denser and softer than silk, and it is very comfortable to wear. Rural people go to work in the fields, even if they give them silk and satin, they have no chance to wear them, so it is better to give them useful things.
"Thank you, mother!" Ding Fanger knew that if she refused again, she might arouse the suspicion of the lady of the country, so she quickly thanked her.
Jun looked at her with a gentle smile: "My family, you're welcome..." But her heart flew to the far north, hoping that her daughter could also meet noble people and live a life without food and clothing. Doting on Ding Fang'er is just a kind of psychological sustenance and compensation.
Grandpa Guo and his sons ate in the outer courtyard. I heard that because of the stew made by Ding Fanger, my wife ate half a bowl of rice and was overjoyed. Grandpa Guo was even more delighted and rewarded him with fifty taels of silver to send to Ding Fang'er. On Jun Li'er's side, they also rewarded money. The squirrel mandarin fish in Qingfeng Building is not cheap.
At this time, Gu Ye, who was far in the north, received the emperor's will and was very happy. The emperor is really interesting, and actually rewarded a Zhuangzi for her research. Although it is a bit far from the prefectural city and the terrain is a bit out of the way, it is worth at least a few hundred taels of silver!
If Ling Juechen was there, looking at her greedy appearance, she would definitely laugh and scold her as a "little money fan". Gu's most precious pills cost more than one pill, so how happy is that?
Gu Ye is righteous and confident: Windfall money, don't want it for nothing!
More than 20 days later, General Chu arrived at Yancheng with a team of 100 guards. A month later, news came from Yinzhen Pavilion that the cowpox sample Gu Ye wanted was found.
Gu Ye began to move his laboratory to that remote village. The virus sample was escorted by a hidden guard who had survived smallpox. Using the special utensils provided by Gu Ye, it would not cause the virus spread that everyone was worried about.
After more than a month of research, the vaccinia vaccine was finally developed. Yao Zhifu, who got the news, came to bring Zhuangzi in person, regardless of his wife's obstruction. Major General Chu was also present.
Yao Zhifu asked excitedly: "Success? A vaccine that can prevent smallpox has been successfully made? Has it been tested? When will this cowpox be widely vaccinated?"
Seeing that General Chu's face was a little serious, Yao Zhifu gradually calmed down his excitement, straightened his face, and asked, "What's wrong? Could there be something wrong with the vaccine?"
Chu Muhua slowly shook her head, and said more firmly: "Miss Gu intends to experiment on herself first. I persuaded me to stop it!"
