Watching the little cat finish a plate of fish soup, Bai Chunsheng rolled up his sleeves and continued cooking.At first glance, Zhou Maoqing was a gentle scholar from "Far Cook", and Zhou Youqing was a child. Bai Chunsheng felt that he should help cook at Zhou's house these days. fixed it.

There was still some fish soup in the pot, Bai Chunsheng was not willing to throw it away, so he cut the vegetables into sections and threw them into the pot for making fish soup. Taking advantage of the deliciousness of the fish soup, he simmered a dish of vegetables. I cut half a bowl of diced meat from the meat I bought, and asked Zhou Youqing to peel off half a bowl of garlic cloves, chopped them, and heated the oil pan. First, I threw the garlic cloves in and sauteed until fragrant, then put in the diced meat, and fried until the surface of the diced meat turned into It turned golden brown, and the lard was boiled out. Add chopped dried chilies and three tablespoons of black sauce, and made two bowls full of fried sauce. The fragrant fried sauce made everyone in the yard feel refreshed. Mrs. Zeng, who doesn't like to go out, couldn't help opening the window and looked at Zhou's side curiously.

"Brother Bai's cooking skills are truly amazing!" After a while, Zhou Maoqing sighed.

"It's a big deal, it's just some home-cooked dishes." Bai Chunsheng kept a bowl of fried sauce in the cupboard, brought the rest to the table, and asked Zhou Youqing to help serve the meal together.

He originally wanted to give a share to Mrs. Zeng, but seeing that there were many people in the yard and Mrs. Zeng lived alone, if he was too attentive, he would attract gossip instead. After thinking about it, forget it. Aunt Zhou's relationship with Mrs. Zeng, even if he didn't talk about it, Aunt Zhou would definitely share some of the past with Mrs. Zeng.

Sure enough, after obtaining Bai Chunsheng's consent, Aunt Zhou filled a small earthenware plate with a few spoons of fried sauce and a bowl of fish soup, and asked Zhou Youqing to give it to Mrs. Zeng to taste.

The neighbors who live in the same yard are like this. Whoever makes some rare food, as long as the relationship is not too bad, they will usually give some to them from door to door. It was the same when Bai Chunsheng accompanied her grandma back to the countryside before. I will definitely make more of the food, and the neighbors will give some, and I will give them whatever delicious food they have. The relationship between neighbors is slowly getting along like this.

The little chubby cat left after eating the fish soup. Aunt Zhou sighed as she watched the kitten leave. This kid is sensible. I didn't stay for dinner, and I don't know if the fish soup is full.

It’s been a long time since the Zhou family has had such a good dish. The delicious fish soup, the spicy and appetizing fried sauce, and even the green vegetables simmered in the fish soup are more delicious than usual. They eat half a pot of miscellaneous grains and rice. There is not even a rice crust left.

"Maoqing, you can rest at home for a while, I will go to the public house on the dock to get the household registration booklet, Uncle Hu from the grocery store promised to help me put it on after I bought the iron pot, and then we can go buy books after the pot is installed ?" Wiping his mouth, Bai Chunsheng asked while holding the hot tea Zhou Youqing poured for him.

"It just so happened that I also took advantage of this time to gather some firewood for the family. Brother Bai, go and get busy first. I'll wait for you at home after I gather firewood." Zhou Maoqing came back every three days, saying it was for a rest, but in fact It is much harder to work in the store, to buy some heavy things such as rice noodles for the family, and to go outside the town to collect firewood.Bai Chunsheng didn't say much when he heard the words, and after drinking tea, they went off to work separately.

The public house really helped him to complete the household registration booklet on time. Unlike ordinary people's household registration booklet, the household registration booklet for the monster clan in this dynasty is in a separate style, and the real body and origin of the monster are also filled in it. There is no place of origin, because some demons don't even know where they were born, so they write about the places where they have been active since they can remember.

To Bai Chunsheng's surprise, this dynasty treats the monster clan, especially the monster clan with pure blood, more generously than ordinary people. For example, ordinary people can only buy two catties of coarse salt every month, but the monster clan can buy ten catties. A demon who goes ashore to apply for household registration can still be allocated five acres of public land from the yamen. The ownership of this public land belongs to the imperial court, and the demon clan cannot buy or sell it. , a full 100 years!

"Hey! This is also a helpless thing. Many monsters are used to living freely and are unwilling to live in the world of mortals. The imperial court has this in order to encourage the monsters to stay." The man in charge of distributing the household registration booklet probably It's too boring, finally someone came to do something, grabbed Bai Chunsheng and started nagging, "I think you are a young man who knows how to live, those monsters are usually the most impatient to do the household registration booklet, I When I was young, I was ordered to deliver a household registration booklet to a master fox fairy, but he tore up the booklet in front of me, saying that the nature of their fox clan is unfettered, and they are determined not to be included in the booklet, alas! Now like you There are too few demons who are willing to apply for household registration!"

Bai Chunsheng: "..." Hehe~ Because Laozi is not a monster in his bones!

However, Bai Chunsheng was happiest to be able to get five acres of public land by accident, and it was exempt from taxation. He learned that as long as he relied on this household registration booklet, he could go to the yamen to obtain the land use certificate and tax exemption document. Afterwards, Bai Chunsheng didn't bother to buy pots anymore. While it was still early, he went to the Yamen non-stop. Qingshuihe Town is the location of the Qinghe County Yamen. Even the county magistrate was alarmed, and ran out to meet this monster who "willingly take root in the human world" in person.

After learning that Bai Chunsheng wanted to use these lands to grow food for himself, the county magistrate repeatedly praised Bai Chunsheng as a steady and down-to-earth good monster, and asked the people in the yamen to bring him some grain and miscellaneous grain seeds.

It is no wonder that the magistrate of the county is so kind. The royal family of this dynasty is the descendant of the ancient monster race, and has been committed to making the race and the monster race live in harmony. It is a pity that the number of the monster race is very small, and very few are willing to accept the laws of the human race. , the imperial court had to promulgate the law, stipulating that those who are willing to apply for household registration and settle in the Yaozu can enjoy the preferential treatment that only mortal children can enjoy, and they can also be prosecuted as officials. There is even an imperial court that raises monster cubs until they reach adulthood...

It's a pity that in the past, when the human race and the monster race were at odds and never interacted with each other, countless monster races wanted to come to the world to experience the life of mortals. Now the government has released the settlement policy of the monster race. The monster race who are used to it are tired of the cumbersome laws of the world, but more people live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and fewer people are willing to settle down.

Hearing that Bai Chunsheng said that he had rented a house in the town, the county magistrate personally asked him where he lived now, asked the people in the yamen to help him find a piece of land close to the town, and rewarded him with an extra ten taels of silver.I hope to use this to encourage more demons to come and settle down, so that his performance at the end of the year will be much better.

After all, being able to attract Yaozu to come and settle down is enough to show the stability and prosperity under his rule, isn't it?

Bai Chunsheng didn't expect that he just came to get a piece of land, and he could also get an extra reward from the magistrate of the county. He felt that he had really made a lot of money this time, so he left the yamen happily, and saw a fish seller on the roadside, so he walked over I chose three arm-length fresh fish, bought a bagful of river prawns, went to a tofu shop to buy a few pieces of tender tofu, and then went back with my things.

When he was approaching the door, he unexpectedly ran into Wang Dalang with a fierce face on the road, and Bai Chunsheng was startled.

Wang Dalang glanced at the fresh fish in his hand, and suddenly said, "The fish soup is delicious, thank you!" Then he left him and went into the opposite yard.

Bai Chunsheng: "..." After a long time, the fish soup that I brought over for my sister yesterday ended up in this man's stomach!

"Chunsheng is back? What a coincidence today. Did you see Mr. Wang at the door? He came back by boat and brought us pastries from the state capital, and you also have a copy. Thank you for sending us yesterday. The fish soup and fried sauce." Aunt Zhou stood up and took out a bag of pastries and handed it to him.

"Auntie, put them there. I'll raise these fish first, and kill them when I come back. I'm going to the grocery store to find Old Man Hu to fill the pots and stoves. Do you want to buy anything? I'll drop by for you."

"No, no, you can go and do your work. Maoqing just bought all the things at home." Aunt Zhou smiled and took out an old wooden basin, and asked Bai Chunsheng to put the fresh fish she bought in it.

The owner of the grocery store found out that Bai Chunsheng got five acres of land and ten taels of silver as a reward for creating a household registration booklet, so he couldn't help being happy for him, and of course he was also very happy for himself, because if Bai Chunsheng really farmed the land, Then some farm tools will also be bought from him.

Somehow, today Bai Chunsheng came to the grocery store to buy a hot pot, and unexpectedly he also met that Wang Dalang.

Wang Dalang came to the grocery store to sell things.Every time he goes out to run a boat, he will bring back some rare goods that are not available in the local area, put them in the grocery store and resell them, earn some money for running errands. Everyone is allowed to bring a big suitcase, and how much you can earn depends on your ability and your own vision. This is the ancient version of purchasing agent.

What Wang Dalang brought back this time were some popular embroidery patterns from the state capital, as well as some cheap beaded incense fans that women like. You can bring a lot of big suitcases, and there are many people who buy this season. The shopkeeper wants everything, but Wang Dalang is not in a hurry to get the money. Instead, he bought some commonly used things in the store first, and let the shopkeeper take care of the rest. Helped change cash.

What a living cat!
