Chapter 267: Anger, Cake Industry
Xie Ling carefully observed Gu Wei's expression.
He pursed his thin lips slightly and looked straight ahead, but his right hand held Xie Ling tightly in his arms, and the umbrella almost completely tilted towards Xie Ling.
Gu Wei's so-called anger was nothing more than the fact that he changed from giving Xie Ling an umbrella with a smile to giving Xie Ling an umbrella with a cold face.
All the necessary care has been given.
Xie Ling did not forget to take the dessert when she left just now. She hid it behind her. After entering the study, she put the paper bag on the desk.
Gu Wei didn't look away. After putting the paper umbrella into the rack, he sat back in his original seat, picked up the brush and started dealing with official documents.
Xie Ling coughed.
Gu Wei remained unmoved.
Xie Ling coughed twice.
Gu Wei stopped writing, went out quietly, and came back with a pot of hot water.
Xie Ling:......
"Gu Wei, this is the dessert I made for you, remember to eat it."
"Well, thank you. But I don't like sweet things."
Gu Wei's voice was indifferent.
"Then I'll take it."
"But you can try."
Gu Wei took the paper bag away and pointed to the hot water that was gradually cooling down on the corner of the table. "Remember to drink it."
Xie Ling sighed and walked out silently.
As I walked to the door, I heard Gu Wei's cold voice.
"The clothes are very beautiful."
After making sure Xie Ling had gone far away, Gu Wei quickly opened the paper bag. The sweet scent of cream made the air a little sweeter.
The second day, the third day...for three days in a row, Xie Ling brought food to Gu Wei in different ways every day.
On the fourth day, Xie Ling finally understood what Gu Wei was up to.
He just wants her to give in!
Oh man.
today.
Xie Ling went to bring food to Gu Wei as usual.
The staff and advisers in the palace were no longer surprised. They only knew that Gu Wei was in a particularly good mood these days and was always smiling. No matter how strange an opinion someone raised, he would refute it gently, unlike before when he was as cold and harsh as before.
Some people even secretly saw the always upright and serious county magistrate taking candy out of his sleeves to eat. It was really...
It’s a pity that those counselors don’t know the three words “contrast cuteness”.
Xie Ling raised the corners of her mouth with a perfect smile, and placed the basket next to Gu Wei's desk.
"My Lord, the county magistrate must finish all the food today."
Gu Wei frowned.
Why do these four words "Mr. County Magistrate" sound so much like a mockery?
But he nodded anyway.
"it is good."
Xie Ling sat aside, watching Gu Wei open the lid and take out a piece of sandwich.
Gu Wei looked at Xie Ling's fiery eyes and guessed that there must be something fishy about this bread.
But Aling has been so soft on me for so long, I should also make a fool of myself a little to make Aling happy.
Even if there is dog shit in the bread, he has to eat it today.
After thinking about it, Gu Wei stuffed the bread into his mouth like a hero cutting off his arm.
Before I even chewed it, a spicy taste went straight into my throat.
It's mustard.
Xie Ling occasionally uses this seasoning when cooking.
Gu Wei had a good memory and could remember everything he saw. He often helped in the kitchen, so he remembered everything.
He finished the first slice without changing his expression, his handsome face turned red from the spiciness.
There are three more slices in the basket.
He bit his lip to endure it and reached out to take it.
Xie Ling silently took away all the water on the desk.
"Master Gu, you said you would eat it all, so don't break your promise."
Gu Wei nodded and continued to eat the second and third slices.
At this moment, his eye sockets, ear tips, and Adam's apple were all slightly red, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be shedding tears, making him look even more pitiful.
“Ah…”
After saying just one word, he began to cough continuously, almost coughing out his lungs.
"A Ling, cough cough cough... I'm sorry. I was teasing you and wanted you to give in to me, so I pretended to cough cough... pretended to be angry all the time. In fact, I have never been angry with you."
Xie Ling had originally made up her mind not to give Gu Wei water no matter how miserable he was, but now looking at Gu Wei's appearance, she felt a little reluctant.
"It's okay. I was just teasing you. Drink some water."
Gu Wei shook his head, his face flushed like a cooked shrimp, and said in a calm voice: "It's okay. A Ling, you are so cute."
Xie Ling:?
Is this person a masochist?
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, swallowed hard to suppress the discomfort in his throat, and said slowly: "I don't like your cold and aloof look, like a fairy in the sky, reminding me all the time that you are from another world.
I just like the way you look when you are angry, when you are worried about me, it is so vivid and lively. It is real and exists beside me. "
Xie Ling was stunned.
Gu Wei came over and kissed her gently on the face.
A very restrained kiss.
Xie Ling felt Gu Wei's hot cheeks, and the temperature was almost burning.
I feel even more sorry.
"Are you sure you don't want to drink the water?"
Gu Wei shook his head, "I was the one who teased you first..."
The next moment, Xie Ling pointed the water directly at his lips and said, "Drink it, and I will forgive you for being angry with you every day."
Gu Wei's eyes lit up and he drank all the water in one gulp.
"You said you were angry with me every day, don't forget it."
Xie Ling ran away with the basket.
Such a Gu Wei is too terrifying.
……
Xie Ling went to the yard next to the county government office.
This yard was also the property that Xie Ling acquired from the Feng and Si families.
The last time she had the idea of the ovens, she went back and drew a blueprint and hired workers to build two ovens.
It was completed today.
Song, Qiuyue, Pei and others were already waiting inside.
The weather was cold, so a few people lit a charcoal brazier and gathered around it, roasting some potatoes in the brazier.
The potatoes in the field are not ripe yet. This is from Xie Ling's space.
As soon as Xie Ling entered, Qiuyue stuffed a peeled potato into her mouth. It was tender, hot, and golden yellow, and it looked very delicious.
Xie Ling didn't act pretentiously. She took it directly and started eating it with some chili powder on it.
It's a bit hot, but very soft and sticky, and it's even better when dipped in spiced chili powder.
Xie Ling is now looking forward to a good harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
How happy the civilians and soldiers would be to eat this in the cold autumn.
"Everyone knows why I called you here today. You have all eaten the cakes I made. Today, I will teach you this. You can kill time when you are bored on weekdays...
You can sell it to me when you are done, and I will buy it at 20 coins per pound."
Everyone was eager to try it.
Xie Ling did not waste any time and directly taught everyone how to make cakes.
After an afternoon, everyone was so tired that their arms were almost dislocated...
The step of whisking the egg whites into cream is really tiring.
But the harvest was fruitful!
A total of thirty kilograms of cake base were baked, and not a single piece was wasted!
The moment it was baked, the sweet aroma of the cake spread for ten miles and could be smelled throughout almost the entire county government office!
There were always many people coming to the gate of the county government office to exchange public items, and they were all fascinated by the fragrance and could not move.
After seeing Xie Ling come out, several people who had enough centimeters could not stand still for a moment. They immediately ran over and asked in unison whether the cake could be exchanged for centimeters.
Now that people's lives are better off, they naturally want to eat good food.
This thing is so sweet that my mouth is watering just by smelling it, it must be delicious!
It’s suitable for the elderly and children at home!
Xie Ling nodded, "You can exchange it. This thing is called cake, but there are only 20 kilograms today. Each person can only exchange half a kilogram. Two centimeters for half a kilogram. First come, first served."
As soon as he finished speaking, the civilians and soldiers rushed up in a swarm.
Under a tree not far away, Shujian waved at Xie Ling.
Xie Ling took a piece of cake and walked over. After handing it to Shu Jian, she asked, "Why did it take four days?"
Shu Jian frowned, "The mountain roads were slippery, and it took two days to go back and forth. Fortunately, we succeeded in our mission and brought the people back. The man in the mansion is not in good condition, you have to go and check on him quickly..."
Xie Ling nodded, "Thank you."
He turned around and rushed home.
At the same time, I was thinking about the coal mine.
Winter is coming, and the mountain roads are icy and frosty, so they must be very slippery. How can we transport the coal back? Do we need to build roads first?
Shujian looked at the square object in his hand. It was wrapped in a piece of oil paper, golden yellow, fluffy and soft, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and smelled delicious.
Of course he knew this thing.
A few days ago, I went to Gu Wei to report something, and this thing was on Gu Wei's desk.
He hinted to Gu Wei several times to let him have a taste, but Gu Wei was so protective of it that he could only smell the aroma and feel anxious.
Now that Xie Ling gave him a piece, he didn't know how to put it in his mouth. He weighed it, looked at it carefully, and then ate it in one bite.
It smells so good that I almost bite my tongue off.
Shujian’s eyes widened.
Woo woo woo.
How does the general usually live a good life? !
The food my wife cooks is so delicious!
He wants to change too!
Shujian and other staff and advisers also used the work point system on a daily basis, which could be exchanged for houses, gold, silver and food.
