Chapter 81: Gluttony
Peach Blossom remembers that Zhang's said that it is better to smoke the purse with spices, which is more attractive. I remember that when Zhang's said this, there was still a loss on his face.
Thinking of this, Peach Blossom saw that there was a pharmacy not far away. Mother, if we make the purse fragrant, the lady will definitely find her mother to make the purse in the future."
Zhang's was a little hesitant.The spices she knew about were also heard from her mother.And I heard that it was also very expensive.With all the money in her hand.I looked down and saw my daughter's bright eyes.I couldn't bear to refuse.
There were two people in the pharmacy chatting with their heads on the counter, and one of them was a little chubby, and a middle-aged man with a two-fold mustache on the corner of his mouth asked. Is the lady going to see a doctor or taking medicine?"
At this time, there is still a difference between the poor and the rich. Peach Blossom also found that she was also a woman.
It can be seen that the humility is still very strict at this time, and this rule is so important in this town.
Zhang was a little reserved." Is there jatamanto-rosin?"
The dry pine gas is peculiar, the taste is bitter and pungent, and there is a cool feeling.
This middle-aged man didn't have Zhang's clothes and looked down on her." Fifteen wen one or two, how much does a lady want."
"Give me, give me a tael." After saying a word, Zhang's head was so low that he couldn't lift it.
"Howler, a tael or two of sweet rosin." Another man's voice was loud, and he turned and pulled out the cabinet below him.
The slightly fat middle-aged man took the yellow paper, and the two of them did not show disdain because of the lack of money bought by Zhang, so that Zhang was not as nervous as before, and when he took the paper bag and sent the money, he also showed a smile on his face.
The same is to sell goods.The people I meet are different.Peach Blossom is also because of their kindness to Zhang.Crack their mouths and give a laugh.When the mother and daughter come.Zhang's hand that has been holding Peach Blossom is also a little looser.The faint peach blossom can feel the sweat in Zhang's hand.
"Steamed buns, five pennies a bun, just out of the pot." Diagonally across from the pharmacy is a stall selling steamed buns.
Zhang was overjoyed when he saw it." Let's go, my mother will buy you buns."
Peach Blossom pulled Zhang and shook his head. Let's buy some noodles and make them ourselves, so that my mother can eat them."
Calculate to buy 20 wen of white noodles, buy a radish, can wrap a big pot of steamed buns, enough to eat at home for a few days, if you just buy her a bun, how can she swallow it.
Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, Zhang's nose was sour, and he tapped his chin. Okay, let's buy it back for ourselves."
It is calculated that there are at least eighteen days before the end of the month, a purse of fifty wen, how to get up early and be greedy for seven or eight a day, so that there will be a hundred, that is, five hundred wen, half a tael of silver, enough for the family for half a year.
After Zhang's calculations, when he was buying white noodles, he passed by the meat seller, and he bought another pound of meat.
When I walked to the entrance of the town, I bought a frozen radish on the side of the road. The mother and daughter walked quickly to find the ox cart of the Wang family.
"Aunt Wang." Zhang carried the peach blossom to the ox cart and took out two pennies and handed them over. It's the car money."
Aunt Wang accepted the money and said with a smile. When your mother-in-law came, she said that she would stay at her daughter's house for a few days, so you don't have to wait for her."
Looking at what Zhang bought, Aunt Wang didn't refuse the car money.
Zhang sat back in the carriage, and was not surprised when he heard it.What did Mrs. Cheng do when she came to the town.She knew in her heart.She didn't want to say more.Mrs. Wang also understood Zhang's temperament.She didn't talk much.She didn't ask much.After everyone sat down.The old man drove the ox cart out of town.
On the way, Zhang Shi was not idle, grabbed a handful of rags, and when he talked to Mrs. Wang, he chose the cloth that could be used to make a purse, and separated the cloth that could be used as a purse, linen cloth and cotton cloth.
After Peach Blossom saw it, she also followed along.
I was busy on the road, and I don't remember that it was cold, and when I got home, I picked out more than half of the rags of a bamboo basket.
"Tiger girl, let's eat steamed buns today." Seeing the tiger girl come out to pick up, Zhang smiled and spoke to her.
Tiger girl's eyes are shining." That's great."
Peach Blossom sneered on the side, she knew that the tiger girl at this time was not pretending, that is, she thought of being able to eat steamed buns, and she couldn't help but shed water.
After returning to the house, Zhang's hands washed and cooked, and Peach Blossom sat on the kang and continued to pick out the undivided fabrics. I'll get it with you."
"Separate the linen cloth from the cotton cloth, pick these fabrics that are bigger than your hands." Peach blossom said to her in a tender voice.
Multiple people are doing it with her.
But after a while, she found out that she was wrong. Hu Niu couldn't tell the difference between linen and cotton.
Peach Blossom didn't give face, and she made a mistake and picked it out in front of her.The corners of her eyes swept the way the tiger girl bit her lips.Pout.If you want to save face, don't do things that make people find fault.
I think I know that I can't do it well. I'm going to help my aunt light the fire."
Tiger Niu herself breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no tiger girl on the side.The peach blossoms were picked up quickly.After the outhouse Zhang put the fat out of the oil.She also finished picking the cloth.Rubbed her arms.The body was too small.I couldn't help but hurt my arms after doing this little work.
In the outhouse, Zhang minced the remaining oil shuttle and mixed the copied shredded radish into a filling, and when he relied on the fat oil, he mixed the noodles well, added water to the pot and let the tiger girl burn the fire.
Peach Blossom washed her hands and came over to help.Seeing that her daughter looked decent.Zhang smiled.While doing it, she told her daughter how to make steamed buns.Peach Blossom didn't understand all the outfits.Listened carefully.
After Wang came in from the front yard, he went to the Westinghouse first, and he didn't see Mrs. Cheng.
Without the old lady Cheng watching, Wang took out the bacon, saw the tiger girl burning the fire, and there was a big bowl of lard on the pot table, and her eyes flashed. What are you doing today?"
Hu Niu thought that in the future, she would have to see Wang's face alive. We wrap turnips and meat shuttle buns."
Wang listened to the baba and clicked his mouth." Yo, it's a good day, it's like us, we eat healthy food every day."
The tone couldn't help but be sour, and the tiger girl couldn't help but say that she would let the Wang family come over and eat.
Wang, who was still happy before, looked at the bacon on the cutting board, and lost his previous excitement, turned around and entered the house, and saw Cheng Dalang leaning on the kang to read a book.
"Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, didn't ask you to go back to eat the meat shuttle and radish buns tonight." Wang is that kind of person, she sees how well others are doing, and she is jealous.
What's more, she's uncomfortable, and others don't want to be happy.
Cheng Dalang sat in the house, and he had already heard the sound of chopping things on the other side, especially what Zhang said to Hu Niu when he came back.
But I could also hear that Wang's tone was mocking, so I didn't look at Wang, and turned a page of the book in my hand." My brother and sister don't have to cook for me at night."
Wang scoffed. That's fine, the eldest brother has been back for a few days, and he doesn't go back to dinner.
This is called opening your eyes and talking nonsense. Cheng Dalang and Zhang's disagreement can be seen by everyone.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Wang turned around and walked out of the house. Cheng Dalang put down the book, thinking that he would go over to eat by himself.
"Dad, let's go over and eat together in the evening." It's like Zhang asked him to come over and call someone.
Cheng Lao Han didn't have a head, and continued to hold his hand." I'm not going to go, you can go over."
After a pause, he added. It's not easy for their mother and daughter to have a good meal."
He sees what his wife does on weekdays, and he feels guilty when he sees Zhang's mother and daughter.
Cheng Dalang couldn't help but be disappointed.It seemed that he was going to pass by himself.Also disappointed was the Wang family who was eavesdropping outside the door.The old man also favored the mother and daughter.
I couldn't hear any more words.Wang Shi walked away and was busy cooking.Just as he watched Zhang come out with a wrapped bun and put it in the pot.,Said in a sour tone." Sister-in-law, wrap such a big pot of steamed buns, and bring them out from Westinghouse in the evening."
Peach blossom came out of the house." This is my family's food for the future."
I know that Wang's face is thick-skinned.Fortunately, she has more heart.Follow-up.Otherwise, I'm really afraid that Zhang's will be made and I don't know how to answer.She's not afraid.People as big as Wang's are so thick-skinned.She's only five years old.What's there to be afraid of.
Wang glared at Peach Blossom, and the voice was not loud, but Peach Blossom also heard it. What's the big deal."
Then he went to the cupboard to pick something out, brought out half a bowl of white noodles, took out another cabbage, and deliberately told the people in the East House, and shouted into the back room. Dad, let's eat steamed buns with cabbage and bacon in the evening."
Peach Blossom is not greedy to snicker.Mrs. Cheng eats according to the amount.This half bowl of noodles is not locked.I'm afraid I forgot it.Wang just took it and ate it.Just wait to be scolded by Mrs. Cheng.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Cheng came back, she found that Wang had eaten bacon, cabbage, and white noodles, and scolded her for three days.
As soon as Wang's words were finished, the others didn't react, but Cheng Dalang in the house secretly regretted it when he heard it. I knew that the food here was also good, so I didn't say what I just said. Now I have to be cheeky and go to the East House. Thinking of the disdain in Zhang's eyes, Cheng Dalang regretted his intestines because of what he had just said. Thank you for the PK vote cast by the girl of 'Flower Full Building', what's it? /./
