Chapter 44: Hospitality
Yuan Qiwen was communicating with Liu Gang about hunting in the mountains, and he was very surprised to know that Du Yuhan was hunting with a bow and arrow.
It is really not easy to hunt with a bow and arrow, because the bow and arrow are not at all controllable by ordinary people, and without a certain skill, you don't want to shoot the prey.
In fact, crossbow arrows are much easier to operate than bows and arrows, but who would make crossbow arrows in general.
Although Du Yuhan knows something, he is not very familiar with it. And the rate of fire of crossbow arrows is slow, which is not suitable for long-range shooting, and the power of a small crossbow arrow is even worse, she still likes bows and arrows.
Yuan Qiwen took Du Yuhan's hunting bow and arrow and looked at it again and again, and felt that it was really beneficial for her to hit so many prey with a bow and arrow.
Han Yixian left his aunt and cousin to eat at home at noon, and under Yuan Qiwen's enthusiastic response, Han Xiuqin smiled and scolded and stayed with his youngest son.
Han Xiuqin also saw a chicken coop in a corner of the yard and circled a captive chicken for it.
Now there is a pheasant in the pen, but I didn't expect it to be Du Yuhan who caught it from the mountains and was ready to lay eggs to eat. This little girl really knows how to live.
In this short period of time, this small courtyard has been taken care of by Du Yuhan in an orderly manner, and girls are still more careful than boys and can manage life.
is also my own good vision, and I found such a little girl who is suitable anywhere.
Han Xiuqin brought a basket of eggs when she came, which is a very precious thing.
Du Yuhan is going to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and fry a few at noon to entertain Han Xiuqin's mother and son.
When she saw the eggs, Du Yuhan thought of the chicken nest that she and Liu Gang built in the corner, and now there is only one pheasant in it.
In two days, she was going to go to the market to buy a few chickens and raise them. When the chickens were raised, they soon didn't have to worry about the eggs.
Of course, Du Yuhan had to entertain Han Xiuqin's mother and son at noon.
She cleaned up the two pheasants she had hunted yesterday and stewed them, and cut off the breasts of the two chickens to make kung pao chicken. There were no peanut kernels, so she asked Liu Gang to pick some walnut kernels instead, and the taste was also good.
The sauerkraut is already ready to eat, and she made another sauerkraut vermicelli, a vinegared shredded potato, a scrambled egg with shallots, and cold wild vegetables are also very good dishes. The staple food is rice.
When eating, Yuan Qiwen saw the food on the table and cheered: "There are so many delicious foods, I want to eat more." ”
Han Xiuqin scolded with a smile: "Today you can satisfy your hunger, your stomach is hungry every day like you can't fill it." ”
Han Yixian said with a smile: "Qiwen's age is the time to grow his body, and he is lively and active, but he is not easy to get hungry." Today there is meat open to eat. But you have to thank Yuhan, we can eat meat because of Yuhan. ”
Han Xiuqin was also very pleased with her good vision, picked up a big chicken leg and put it in Du Yuhan's bowl and said with a smile: "Yuhan eat more, you are also growing your body, and you are full and long." ”
Du Yuhan smiled: "Thank you, Aunt Han, you don't have to take care of me, I'll just come by myself, you can taste the dishes I made." ”
As he spoke, he used chopsticks to clip a chicken thigh into Han Xiuqin's bowl, and a chicken leg in Han Yixian's bowl.
Han Xiuqin saw Du Yuhan's behavior in her eyes and was happy in her heart, it seems that this Du Yuhan will indeed take care of people.
And the nephew didn't refuse, and directly ate the dishes given by Du Yuhan.
She knew that her nephew was a person with some cleanliness habits, and he generally wouldn't eat the dishes that others served.
However, seeing that Du Yuhan uses chopsticks, he thinks that the little girl is very understanding, and he probably knows that his nephew has a habit of cleanliness.
Yuan Qiwen and Liu Gang didn't care about others, and they couldn't raise their heads for a long time.
Du Yuhan made six dishes, a cabbage soup, with meat and vegetarian, with white rice, which was a very hearty meal in this era.
Han Xiuqin sighed again while eating the meal, Du Yuhan's cooking skills were really good, such a simple meal was so delicious through Du Yuhan's hands that people couldn't wait to swallow it.
Looking at the nephew's significantly larger amount of food than when he first came, he knew that his nephew really liked Du Yuhan's cooking.
And the most expensive meat dish on this table is still the wild thing that Du Yuhan hunted back from the mountains, Han Xiuqin felt that she really earned it by finding Du Yuhan to take care of her nephew.
After a meal, Yuan Qiwen stroked his stomach and burped and said, "I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, it's really enjoyable." It would be nice to be able to eat such meals every day. ”
Liu Gang listened to Yuan Qiwen's words and said in his heart that we can often eat such meals, but we can't tell this kid, otherwise he is afraid that Yuan Qiwen will come here every day to eat.
Han Xiuqin smiled and patted her little son and said, "You still want to eat such a meal every day? Even if you have money, you can't eat meat every day, that is, we can eat wild meat with the light of Yuhan, otherwise how can there be meat to eat, and you will be content with what you eat. ”
Han Yixian knew that his little cousin was lively and active, so he said, "Qiwen came here when he had nothing to do on the weekend, and he could go hunting in the mountains with them." However, you are not allowed to act alone, there are wolves in the mountains and it is not a joke. ”
Han Yi first thought of Du Yuhan's salary question, which he had long wanted to ask his aunt, and said, "Auntie, how much salary does Yuhan have a month? ”
When Du Yuhan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You don't have to pay me, I can't eat enough at home, I'm already grateful to be able to eat here, how can I ask for wages?"
Han Xiuqin couldn't tell her nephew that Du Yuhan was the little daughter-in-law she found for him, and if she invited a nanny to take care of him, how could she not pay her salary.
Han Xiuqin said: "Of course I have to pay the salary, I forgot about it." How much do you think it's appropriate? So that she has an allowance of her own. ”
Han Xiuqin also thought that if her nephew didn't marry Du Yuhan in the future, she would really have to pay Du Yuhan, and if Du Yuhan married her nephew, she would not lose anything by giving her nephew's pocket money.
Besides, the little girl often hunts, this is also money, and it is completely appropriate to give the little girl some pocket money.
Han Yixian said: "Yuhan is here to take care of me, and my salary will be paid by me, so you don't have to worry about it, auntie." I'll discuss it with Yuhan when I go back. ”
Han Xiuqin didn't fight with her nephew anymore, her nephew has his own pride, and she won't let her nephew feel that he has to rely on others to live.
The salary paid to Du Yuhan is nothing to the nephew, and it is better for the nephew to pay the salary.
After lunch, Han Xiuqin was about to leave, Yuan Qiwen said that he would not leave, Han Yixian asked his cousin to stay and play for an afternoon, and then go back in the evening.
When Han Xiuqin was leaving, Du Yuhan loaded a large basket of walnuts for Han Xiuqin, and asked Yuan Qiwen to take them after Han Xiuqin finished eating.
Yuan Qiwen heard Liu Gang say that they had eaten elm money rice two days ago, but it was delicious, so he took Liu Gang to pick elm money from the elm tree outside the yard and make elm money rice at night.
The two of them hit it off and went out to pick elm money together. Yuqian is only a matter of these two days, and if it is too late, it will be old and unable to eat.
