The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 346: Named County Lord

Su Wanwan sent someone back to get some sweet potatoes and put them in the coal slag under the stove.

The sweet potatoes baked in the residual heat of coal slag will not become mushy and the skin will fall off easily.

"Hey, Sister Wanwan is eating roasted sweet potatoes. I want to eat some too."

Lin Wenyue was the first to speak. She had eaten a lot of sweet potatoes here, but roasted ones were still the most delicious.

When the villagers saw the county magistrate coming, they immediately dispersed a little.

As soon as Ye Jingxue came in, her eyes immediately looked for Xiao Yue'er.

Knowing that Xiao Yue'er was Sister Nishang's child, Ye Jingxue came to the house to look for Xiao Yue'er often these days.

The letter and the jade pendant had already been delivered to the capital. By this time, the princess' aunt had probably already set off.

Xiao Yue'er also likes Ye Jingxue. This aunt always brings her a lot of delicious food every time she comes. She happened to peel a sweet potato and immediately ran over to give it to her aunt.

"Auntie, Auntie, please eat sweet potatoes. They are delicious."

"Xiao Yue'er is so good. Auntie, you're welcome."

Ye Jingxue took the sweet potato and the more she looked at Xiao Yue'er, the more she felt she looked like her elder sister.

After taking a bite of the sweet potato, Ye Jingxue nodded: "It's really sweet."

Xu Huaiyuan ordered people to carry the things that were delivered over.

It turned out to be two stone lions!!!

"Brother Shen, you guys are starting work today, and I don't know what to give you. I had someone make this for you, just in time for your workshop."

There is a big red silk hanging around the neck of the stone lion, which looks very festive.

The villagers were also stunned when they saw this. This stone lion was even bigger than those at the gates of tall gates and large courtyards in the city. It was so majestic.

Several yamen runners had already carried the lion and placed it on both sides of the gate.

Su Wanwan's mouth twitched as well, but she had to admit that these two stone lions were indeed quite majestic, and their size was quite suitable for the gate of her workshop.

County Magistrate Xu is really thoughtful.

At this time, another horse-drawn carriage came galloping, followed by several ox-drawn carts.

Bai Shao jumped out of the car, looking apologetic.

"Mr. Shen, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, Bai is late."

Then he waved his hand, and several men jumped down from the ox cart behind the carriage, carrying baskets of things towards the workshop.

The villagers were curious, and then they saw that there were meat, vegetables and the like inside.

There was another cart, all filled with wine, and jars of wine were sent directly to the cafeteria.

"I don't have anything to give, so I asked my cook to bring some good wine and meat. I'll prepare a wedding banquet for noon today. Everyone in the village can come and have a good time. Let's celebrate Brother Shen's good start!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered.

Su Wanwan had also made some preparations for today. She was going to host a banquet for everyone, and she bought a lot of dishes and sent them to the cafeteria.

However, the Bai family actually brought the cook with them, so she didn't refuse.

"Thank you."

Shen Yuan also expressed his gratitude.

Su Wanwan immediately said to the head of the village:

"Uncle Liu, we don't have enough tables and chairs here. Please help me borrow some from the village. The villagers don't need to cook at noon today. Everyone can come to the workshop for a feast. Thank you for taking care of Shen Yuan and me these days."

Of course Liu Daping was unwilling to do so. He was the chef of Zuixianlou and the wine was very expensive. The villagers were benefiting from it.

"Come on, go back and bring all the tables, chairs and benches from home here. We'll have a treat today."

Everyone took action immediately.

Ye Jingxue and Lin Wenyue also sent gifts, but they didn’t know what to give, so they just gave a big red envelope.

This was not the end. After a while, Zheng Baiwan from the county also came with his servant, and he actually gave a silver God of Wealth.

Of course, there were also people from the village. Many people gave gifts. My aunt-in-law even gave a red envelope with two taels of silver. Shen Hua also came. In addition to the red envelope, he also brought a basket of oil.

After seeing that everyone had given their gifts, Magistrate Xu ordered people to bring out the imperial edict from the capital.

The ones in front are small, this is the biggest surprise, of course it should be saved for the end.

Seeing that it was an imperial edict, everyone knelt down.

After Xu Huaiyuan finished reading the imperial edict, everyone was stunned for a long time.

Su Wanwan was named the Princess of the County! She was also given the title, Princess of Jiacheng County!

Su Wanwan was a little confused by this surprise.

Although it was just a title, she had no fiefdom and no rights, but the county lord enjoyed a salary from the court, which meant that she was now a person who could get a monthly salary.

And you don’t even have to go to work, someone will pay you.

Isn't this equivalent to modern pension?

Although the salary was not much, the title of county lady was quite intimidating.

Zheng Baiwan was even more surprised and was even happier than if he had received the praise himself.

He actually did business with the county lord!

It took a long time for everyone in the old Shen family to turn around. How come his old Shen family actually had a county lady?

Be good, tomorrow you must go to the graves and burn more paper for your ancestors.

"Princess Jiacheng, please accept the order."

Xu Huaiyuan handed over the imperial edict. This time, His Majesty was finally not stingy.

Not only did he give her the title of county lady, he also rewarded her with some gold and silver. He was not stingy and rewarded her with another thirty acres of land.

The yield of sweet potatoes and corn is amazing. No emperor would be stingy even if the treasury is empty.

Su Wanwan accepted the order in a polite manner, and everyone immediately came forward to congratulate her.

Ye Jingxue chuckled and felt happy for Su Wanwan. This was what she deserved.

This time, the emperor's cousin was finally generous.

Shen Yuan even held Su Wanwan's hand. He felt that his wife's contribution was far from enough.

Of course, he also knew that his wife was not someone who cared about these things.

After asking Mrs. Huang to send all the things back, Su Wanwan immediately took Magistrate Xu and everyone else into the workshop to take a look.

At this time, rows of bean curd sheets have been neatly placed on the custom-made racks.

Su Wanwan ran straight to the stove and took a few pieces from it. The freshly squeezed tofu skin was soft and tender and tasted the best. It tasted completely different from the soaked tofu skin.

It tastes even more delicious if you mix it with chopped green onion and sesame oil.

Su Wanwan decided to add the dish of cold-mixed young bean curd to the lunch banquet.

At this time, she took a few sticks and pulled them into small pieces, then handed a small piece to each person for them to taste.

Many people have eaten the skin on soy milk, but at this moment, looking at this somewhat different tofu skin, even before eating it, they feel that the taste must be different.

This one is bright yellow and looks chewy.

Xu Huaiyuan put it in his mouth first, and then the others began to taste it one by one.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they tasted this.

Because it's not cooked, it just has this original taste, full of the fragrance of beans, and it's chewy and smooth when you put it in your mouth. It's hard to describe the feeling, but I feel it's actually better than meat.

Bai Shao's eyes sparkled even more. He was a businessman. Although he had already discussed cooperation with Shen Yuan, it seemed that what they were discussing was dried bean curd sticks?

But, the freshly baked tofu skin is also delicious.

"Sister-in-law, according to what you said, the yuba has to be dried before it can be sold, but I think the yuba that hasn't been dried can also be used to cook, and the taste may even be better than the dried ones."

He has never eaten dried yuba, but the taste of fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms is also different. Some people like fresh ones, while others like soaked ones.

He likes to eat fresh food.
