Cub Nursery

The square fresh tofu is dug up, and the dug out tofu is mixed with meat filling, then stuffed back into the tofu, and steamed in a pot.Yan Xun's movements were skillful, while he was busy preparing a cold dish that was not put into the pot, but was directly mixed and eaten. The red, green and green dishes were very beautiful.

Jing Feng stayed by the stove at night, always helping Yan Xun deliver things very quickly.

Seeing this scene, Si Ping suddenly felt that he was a little redundant. He was holding the dough in his hand and was beating it non-stop.

"Water." Yan Xun said suddenly.

"Here we come." The cub with a snake body hurriedly swam over, leaned on Yan Xun's thigh and glanced at the pot, and there was clear water inside.

Yan Xun walked over quickly and picked up the dough to knead, and put the kneaded dough on the side of the pot.Si Ping imitated his example and handed over the kneaded dough, and finally finished his work, with a lot of flour on his hands, he was a little at a loss.

The kitchen is very big, but there is no water tank, and the water is used for the help of snake cubs.

The little cub is chubby and has a round face, but it has a long body, no hands and feet, and can only use its tail for everything.Si Ping hesitated, ready to wipe with the handkerchief he was wearing.

"My lord, you come." The snake cub swam out for a while, then swam back and shouted at Si Ping.

"There is hot water and soap. Come and wash your hands." The flame cub ran over and pointed to the water basin in the yard and said, "After washing your hands, you are ready to eat."

Si Ping hurried over, the water in the wooden basin was warm, and there was a piece of transparent and beautiful soap beside it, the scented one, and a very clean cloth next to it, the unused kind, specially made for soap. Guests wipe their hands.

After washing and wiping his hands clean, Si Ping followed the cubs into the house and waited for their meal.

The kang was cleaned up, the wooden boards had been wiped several times, and it was very warm to sit on.The two cubs carried the long table, put it carefully, took out the futons, and arranged them one by one.

The other cubs happily sat on it and thanked them sweetly.

Si Ping also got a futon, thanked him quickly, sat on it, put his hands on his lap, and looked at these well-behaved cubs in a trance.

He originally thought that he was pushed out by the Ministry of Industry and had to come to Honglu Temple to discuss road construction. He would definitely die without a problem and would go back and be ridiculed.As a result, he entered the door after arriving, the room was too warm, Si Ping couldn't help discussing many things with Yan Xun.

Unknowingly, he ate a lot of tea and snacks on the table, and when it was time for the meal, Yan Xun actually prepared the meal himself.

Thinking about it, Yan Xun is the only one in Honglu Temple other than monsters. If he doesn't cook, how can he still be hungry?Si Ping didn't know what was wrong with him, he who never cooks unexpectedly also helped with making noodles.

The fragrant smell wafted into the room, and Yan Xun entered the room with a big pottery pot in his arms.

"Put it here." The little cub hurriedly pushed the special mat forward.

Warm soup, brown pancakes on one side, two large pieces of stuffed tofu, and refreshing cold side dishes on the wooden plate.Si Ping has never eaten it, but just by smelling the aroma, he knows that it is no worse than the big dishes in restaurants.

The pancakes were very fluffy, obviously they were just very rough flour, but Si Ping ate three of them at once, and he ate all the vegetables, so he was full.

But compared to Jing Fengye, Si Ping didn't eat much.

The rest of the pancakes and vegetables went into Jing Fengye's stomach. Seeing that he ate with ease, his figure didn't change at all. If it wasn't for the obvious dragon scales on his face, Si Ping would have thought that Jing Fengye He is the same person as Yan Xun.

When he was about to leave, Si Ping was a little bit reluctant.

"Come back tomorrow." Yan Xun said with a smile.

Si Ping hastily agreed, before coming to Honglu Temple, he never thought that he would be looking forward to the second visit.

After eating, the flame cub hurried to the workshop to help burn the cement.

Piles of cement packed in bags were pushed inside the house, and there was a steady stream of burnt cement coming out of the oven, all in preparation for road construction.

The Flame Cub puffed out his cheeks and was busy working very seriously.

Jing Fengye helped to open the cabinet where the money was hidden, and moved out the money inside, "Does your lord really want to pay? This money is hard earned by your lord, why do you want to build a road that everyone can walk on?"

"It is precisely because everyone can leave that Honglu Temple needs to pay for it." Yan Xun said while thinking, "This is a long-term matter, and you will know it in the future."

Everything that Yan Xun does has a deep meaning, and it is the result of his hard work that Honglu Temple is accepted by so many people.Jing Fengye would not refute this, but he couldn't figure it out.

"By the way, the cubs have made their own concrete statues, why don't you make one?" Yan Xun raised his head and looked carefully at Jing Fengye, who was tall and handsome.

It is said that Song Feiliang is a handsome man, but in Yan Xun's view, he is not as good as Jing Fengye.

Jing Fengye shook his head lightly.

Yan Xun misunderstood, thinking that he was afraid of those Taoist soldiers, and said, "You don't look like a cub, so it's fine to have that kind of thing. Although our place is Honglu Temple, it is also a conservation hall."

"I don't need it." Jing Fengye said silently in his heart, you are enough for me.

He understood why Yan Xun did this, it was good for the cubs, but he didn't need such kindness, what he had to do was to stay by Yan Xun's side with peace of mind.

"It's up to you." Yan Xun didn't force it, and when everyone knows about it in the future, it doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person.

The flame cub ran over, hugged Yan Xun's thigh and said, "My lord, Du Qinsheng needs to see you."

"What's the matter?" Yan Xun stroked the flame cub's head, and took his hand through the small door to the workshop.

Du Qinsheng was staring at the cement like a hill, blowing his beard and staring. Seeing Yan Xun approaching, he hurriedly said, "My lord, do you really want to spend all of it to build roads? Do you have to spend money to hire labor yourself? There are many servants in my family who can help." , don’t need wages, just take care of the food.”

As he said that, Du Qinsheng thought that the food provided by Yan Xun was also very good and expensive, and suddenly said with a heartache: "Don't worry about the food. My lord, in my opinion, there is no need to build roads, so much cement If they were all made into cement boards, how much money could they earn? They were all used to build roads, but they didn’t make any money, and they had to lose money.”

Ever since Du Qinsheng knew about it, he couldn't help it, it was all money.When the flame cub came to burn the cement, Du Qinsheng held back, but couldn't hold back, and went to the flame cub and said that he wanted to see Yan Xun.

"I'm going to start repairing from the gate of Honglu Temple. I'll buy the houses on both sides, and the ones that need to be demolished." Yan Xun said, "You don't need to worry about the other ones, just keep the cement and keep the accounts. Otherwise, there will be any mistakes. , I will take you as a question."

"I know, I know. My father sent me all the accountants at home, and they will come tomorrow." Du Qinsheng was sullen again when he mentioned this.

These days are busy, building buildings and burning cement, so the rouge from Honglu Temple is very limited.

When Du Qinsheng got it, he sold it within a few minutes when it was hot. There were still many people who wanted to buy it but couldn't buy it, so they went to ask Du Xuanfeng.

In this way, for the sake of these personal contacts, Du Xuanfeng asked Du Qinsheng to guard the cement workshop carefully, so as not to make Yan Xun angry, and this time he even sent the accountant to help.

"I'm free to arrange the employment." Yan Xun said.

What he was looking for was none other than Sunjiacun.

When Sun Yuanbao came back with a message, the village chief hurriedly discussed the matter with the clan elders, and then everyone in the village knew about it.

"Your Excellency said that you don't have to be a young and strong man. Brothers and married women can go there, and the wages are not bad. You can take care of one meal a day and don't care about staying at night." Sun Yuanbao smiled stupidly, "My family is in the city. The mansion can accommodate many people, I told the adults, and the adults said that brothers and women should live there, and the men can come back at night."

"Every household discusses it on their own. The adults said that the work at home should not be left behind, otherwise they will not come to us next time." Sun Yuanbao said again.

Yan Xun has considered all aspects, Sunjia Village only needs a little discussion, each household has a few people, and they leave the village in the middle of the night, there is nothing to be afraid of if there are too many people, and they still talk and laugh.

After entering the city, the genius had just dawned.

The door of the workshop was opened, Yan Xun came out with a big bag of money, and yelled: "The row of houses in front has been demolished, when the work is finished, the money will be yours."

"We got it." Sun Yuanbao took the lead and yelled, "Everyone, get on with it, don't be lazy, or you won't be allowed to come next time."

Honglu Temple was originally the house of a poor family, and there are similar houses nearby. Some of the dilapidated houses can be knocked down by a few people, and some are simply straw sheds, which can be knocked down without any effort.

These strong men like Sun Yuanbao rumbled forward like bulls all the way, knocking down a house in a short while, and another in a short time.The brother and the woman in the back helped to pack up the stones, wood and so on.

You can hear the movement here from a long distance, and you can see it more clearly when you walk in.

Qin Shisan was dumbfounded all the way.

The imperial decree reached Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Households actually got the news. After all, building roads cost money, and the Ministry of Households had to pay for it.

It's just that there is no imperial decree from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Shang Shu pondered it and simply pretended he didn't know about it.

Qin Shisan had just joined the household department as an errand, although the official was small, he was the prince after all, and the household department had to give Qin Shisan some face no matter what, so he allocated 20 taels of silver to Qin Shisan and asked him to send him Lu Temple.

Holding 20 taels of silver, Qin Shisan was very worried, but before he even got to Honglu Temple, he saw that the outside was already busy.

After entering the gate of Honglu Temple, Yan Xun happened to be eating, so he asked Qin Shisan to eat with him.

"Come inside, it's cold outside." The Flame Cub ran over, holding a pair of warm straw sandals, the same pair that Qin Shisan wore when he lived in Honglu Temple last time.

Wooden bowls, plates, and chopsticks were all very familiar, and Qin Shisan's eyes turned red.

"Sure, go to Du Qinsheng later, buy 20 taels of cement, and then start repairing from the gate." Yan Xun was calm, "You don't have to go back these few days, and follow Du Qinsheng to learn how to keep accounts."

Qin Shisan was able to go to the household department because of the notes written by Yan Xun. Now that he didn't finish his errands, Yan Xun was not angry and asked him to learn to keep accounts.

The old accountants of the Du family have decades of experience, which are generally not passed on to outsiders.Yan Xun brought Qin Shisan himself, handed over an account book, and said, "Use this method of accounting."

The old accountant didn't know that Qin Shisan was the prince, so he didn't want to bring it with him at first, but when he saw the account book, he suddenly had nothing to say.

After Yan Xun went to work on other things, the old accountant said, "My lord's accounting method is extremely accurate, and it is even more difficult to cheat. If you learn it, it will be enough to benefit you for a lifetime. However, before keeping accounts, you need to be able to understand them." Account book, I have taught you the previous accounting methods in the past few days."

The old accountant thought that Yan Xun gave him the new account book because he wanted him to teach Qin Shisan the previous accounting method; Qin Shisan thought more, and he had the opportunity to meet Du Qinsheng again, and thus came into contact with the extremely favored concubine Xian , This is an opportunity delivered by Yan Xun himself.

But Yan Xun did not personally teach him how to keep accounts in the new account book. Instead, he had to borrow the hands of the accountant of the Du family. There are many articles in it.

The flame cub over there is still burning cement, very close to the furnace cellar, with a flushed face.The other cubs were helping out, and the burnt cement was continuously transported out and put into bags.

"It's time for tea." The Flame Cub stopped suddenly when he heard the movement, and ran over to ask Qin Shisan, "You can also go to have tea together."

"Okay." Qin Shisan agreed without thinking.

Qin Shisan suddenly felt that the Du family and Concubine Xian were not so important.

A whole row of houses was knocked down, and the foundation was dug, sand, crushed stones, etc. were spread, and cement mixed with sand was spread on the top, and a layer of fine cement was spread on top.

Yan Xun also decided to build a bungalow outside the high wall of Honglu Temple. From the outside, it still looks like the wall, and it is taller and stronger, but this is not a wall, but a row of houses.

There is a fire wall in the house, and a layer of stone and a layer of wood are paved on the floor. Although the place is a bit small, it is many times better than before.

On the day the building was completed, Yang Shuning personally came and walked around the entire Honghe Temple, looking at Yan Xun from time to time with his eyes, and simply said: "Master Yan, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I want to build a road, so I built a fence along the way." Yan Xun said calmly, "You don't want it, I can use it."

"Yes, why not?" Yang Shuning laughed loudly, then suddenly changed the subject and said darkly, "Master Yan, don't try to bribe them. The Taoist soldiers I selected have all killed monsters and were killed by monsters before." .”

The surroundings suddenly became cold, Yan Xun remained unmoved, still indifferent, "What General Yang said is very true."

From the gate of Honglu Temple to the street, there are new changes every day.

At the beginning, the house was demolished, and the ground was dug so deep that many people still couldn’t understand it, but soon it was covered with cement. After the cement solidified, people who saw it suddenly realized, “Isn’t this the cement board used for the kang?”

There are many wealthy families in the city, and almost all of them have bought cement slabs and kangs. At this time, they are stunned to see that the wide road can run several horse-drawn carriages at the same time, and they are all made of the same thing as cement slabs.

"This, this place is really a horse-drawn carriage?" He looked at it, but he didn't dare to step on it.

"Why isn't it a horse-drawn carriage?" Sun Yuanbao came over carrying a stone, "My lord said, this is a horse-drawn carriage."

"Then, that...you have to be a master to run away, right?"

"Hey, I asked my lord, and my lord said that as long as there is a carriage, anyone can run." Sun Yuanbao didn't believe it when he asked, he laughed and continued to work.

A long and wide section of cement road has been repaired, and the stones on both sides have not been removed. This section of the road has become an existence that everyone wants to say a few words.

Yan Xun went out to buy a lot of pork, rough noodles and vegetables, and when he came back, he saw Jing Fengye and smiled: "Many people in the city say that the road costs as much as a hill..."

"If they are all sold, there will be as much money as a small mountain." Jing Fengye smiled, and he finally figured it out.

What is incomprehensible is Du Qinsheng, who sees the cement going out one by one every day. Not only does he not earn money, he even has to take money out to buy food and meat for the workers to cook for. Not only that, Yan Xun even calculated their wages.

These few days Yan Xun has been busy, hardly sleepless, big dark circles can be seen on his fair face.Seeing that the road was basically repaired and there was no need to be so busy, Jing Fengye hurriedly said: "My lord, why don't you take a rest for a day?"

Don't worry about the rest of the work, Yan Xun also wanted to let the outside talk more about this journey, so he nodded and said: "Success."

Jing Feng was overjoyed at night, hurried to boil hot water, and carried buckets into the bathhouse.The fire wall was burning hot, and the heat was steaming inside. Because it was too hot, the window was opened, and a trace of cold air was blown in, which just happened to be less hot.

"My lord." Jing Fengye took the washed clothes and entered the outer room of the bathhouse.

After entering the warm bathhouse, Yan Xun also felt that the past few days were too tiring, and he was feeling exhausted all over, so he took off his clothes and went into the inner room.

The door outside was not closed, Jing Fengye took a look, and happened to see Yan Xun's white back, thin, and he could see the beautiful Butterfly Valley, Jing Fengye quickly regained consciousness, closed the door, and touched his nose.

Inside, Yan Xun thought he couldn't sleep, but the heat was so comfortable that he couldn't help wanting to sleep.

When he fell asleep, Yan Xun didn't worry about himself, what he thought was that there was Jing Fengye anyway.

Jing Feng kept watch outside for a long time, guessing that it was almost time, so he called out to the adults, but there was no movement inside, fearing that something might happen to Yan Xun, he hurriedly opened the door and went in.

Yan Xun really fell asleep, the water was still hot.

The body has been washed clean, Jing Fengye glanced at it, quickly looked away, picked up Yan Xun gropingly, walked quickly to the outside room, wrapped it with a cloth.

Yan Xun was defenseless, with his eyes closed, his eyelashes were very long, and there was still a little drop of water.Leaning in Jing Fengye's arms, he even took the initiative to find a more comfortable position.

"Hey." Jing Fengye carefully helped Yan Xun get dressed, seeing that he was still sleeping, his heart ached a lot.

Even if the monsters in Honglu Temple are a little more free, they are not as good as Yan Xun, and they can't help in many things.It's just that if you go out rashly, it will only cause trouble for Yan Xun, so the cubs are very well-behaved, and Jing Fengye will never talk about it.

What he can do is to make Yan Xun feel more comfortable when he is in Honglu Temple.

Seeing Jing Fengye coming out with Yan Xun in his arms, the cubs hurried into the house, took out the quilts and spread them quickly and well, opened a corner of the quilts, waited for Yan Xun to lie down, and hurriedly covered them again.
