"Brother Jinchen, what is it?" Mingsheng asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Bat, don't you know, right?" Su Jinchen looked at the peach blossom with a smile in his eyes.

"Well, what Su Gongzi said is very right. Peach Blossom nodded, thinking that this little problem would naturally not be difficult for him.

"Then I'll tell you one too," Mingsheng said.

"Mingsheng can also guess riddles? Su Jinchen looked at Ming Sheng and said with a smile.

The group just talked and laughed and arrived at the village.

From afar, I saw Zhang standing under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village walking back and forth uneasily, and when he saw a group of people coming back, he hurriedly ran over to greet him, and several people comforted him. When he got home and unloaded the belongings, Jin Dazhong thanked him again and wanted to invite Su Jinchen and Ah Yu into the house to sit, but Su Jinchen politely refused.

Back in the kitchen, Zhang lit a brazier in the house, although there were no candles, but it was also bright.

Zhang looked at the rice and noodles and said happily: "I bought so much food, I can eat it for several months." ”

Jin Dazhong said: "Isn't it, thanks to Peach Blossom catching those rabbits." ”

"And I and me. Ming Sheng was in a hurry to invite credit, for fear that he would forget him.

"Yes, yes, and our Xiao Mingsheng. Zhang smiled and hugged Mingsheng in his arms, "Then will you stew chicken soup tomorrow?"

Zhang stayed at home and cleaned up the pheasants, thinking that a few people would come back in the afternoon, and stewed and ate in the evening, but he didn't expect to come back so late, so he had to stay until tomorrow to eat.

Peach Blossom also smiled and squinted, she had been here for a while, and she hadn't eaten meat yet.

Then Pear Blossom told the Zhang family about the discussion with the embroidery workshop, and the Zhang family was even happier, and the two calculated the income they would have in the future, and the more they talked, the happier they became, and Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng were also very happy to hear it. The night breeze was cold outside, and the family inside the house was looking forward to the future around the brazier.

Until Mingsheng yawned, Zhang hurriedly said: "Okay, you guys go and clean up, I have hot water in the back pot, wash it while it's hot, hurry up and sleep, I'm definitely tired after a day of running." Zhang said.

"Well, good. Rika said with some reluctance, full of expectations for the days ahead.

The day went by, busy and happy.

The next day, Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng stayed at home and did not go to the dock to work, because the family stewed chicken soup at noon, which was also a feast in the Jin family.

After breakfast early in the morning, Pear Blossom swept the yard, Jin Dazhong couldn't stay idle, so he went to the field to see the growth of wheat, and Jingsheng also went out, I don't know why I went.

Peach Blossom helped Zhang's scrub the dishes and chopsticks, and Mingsheng squatted next to him and looked at the clean pheasants cleaned up in the basin, not knowing what he was thinking in his head, and was giggling.

"Look at the kid who is hungry. Zhang scolded with a smile, and then his face was a little gloomy, hey, these children haven't eaten well for a long time, and they are too unqualified to be a mother.

Peach Blossom saw that Zhang's face was wrong, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Mother, let's discuss with the second sister in a while what to do with those rags." ”

As soon as he heard Peach Blossom mention this, Zhang smiled again and said, "Okay, then let's quickly pack up, come, and pour this water." ”

Peach Blossom agreed, hurriedly took the dirty water from the dishes, and poured it into the yard, just enough to press down the dust raised.

After cleaning up, the mother sat around the stone table in the courtyard, rummaging through the pile of rags to see if there was anything better.

"Ah, this piece is still thick!" Rika said happily, holding a piece of crimson cloth high in her hand.

"I'll see, it's true. Zhang took it in his hand and looked at it: "Although it is a little small, it is enough to make a purse." ”

Peach Blossom is calculating on the side, a thick purse, if you sell it, it will be almost one or two, but if you sell it to the embroidery workshop, it is estimated that 500 Wen is unlikely, but you have to have 300 Wen, so you can at least have 300 Wen in your account, not bad.

With this good start, the mothers were more motivated, but they couldn't find another piece better than cotton cloth after rummaging around.

"That's not bad, there are five big ones here, which can be used to make embroidery handkerchiefs, and seven or eight small ones, which can barely be used as purses, no matter what, they are better than we expected, and there is a finale, a thick purse, which can be sold for three hundred yuan, which is worth more than a few of our rabbits." Peach Blossom said optimistically.

"Hehe, isn't it, it's too much to earn more than our simple embroidery work. Zhang said, why didn't he think of this idea before, it seems that his daughter was really enlightened by the Bodhisattva.

"Well, these are too broken, we can sew them together to make underwear, and wear them in anyway. "Pear blossom is very frugal, so you can't waste these cloths.

"My second sister is so good at living!" Peach Blossom exclaimed, looking at Pear Blossom with a playful look in her eyes.

"No, whoever marries my daughter in the future will be blessed. Zhang said.

Peach Blossom nodded in agreement.

Pear Blossom didn't follow it, and shouted that the Zhang family and the two of them partnered to bully her.

The mother talked and laughed, while not forgetting the work in her hand.

The sun was moving slowly from the east, and it was almost noon.

"Alright, it's almost noon, and your dad and they should be back in a minute. Let's go cook. Zhang looked at the sky and said.

Peach Blossom went to the back yard to pull the radish, and then took it to the river to be cleaned, and it was easy to use when the chicken was stewed at noon. Pear Blossom went to the stove to burn the fire as usual, but the peach blossom couldn't burn the fire well, either it made the house full of smoke, or the fire was too big or extinguished, which made Peach Blossom very depressed.

Zhang cut the washed radish into cubes and set it aside to make the soup ready to use. Look at the oil in the pot is hot, put the peppercorns in it and fry the fragrance, pour in the ginger, shallots and salt, and then pour the chicken pieces into it and stir-fry for a while, see that the heat is almost over, Zhang's got some water into it, almost full of pot, and then cover the pot.

"Why do you get so much water?" asked Peach Blossom, and it didn't take so much to stew chicken soup.

"This pheasant meat is hard, no better than a domestic chicken, and it needs to be stewed to be able to eat it. Zhang explained.

At this time, Mingsheng, who was gathered around the pot, interjected and said, "It doesn't matter how long you stew, as long as you can eat meat." ”

The mothers glanced at each other and laughed.

It happened that Jin Dazhong came back from outside, followed by Jingsheng.

"Coming back?" Zhang said, looking out.

"Well, Peach Blossom come out quickly, see what your eldest brother has caught?" Jin Dazhong shouted.

Peach Blossom and Mingsheng hurriedly ran out to see.

"Ah, it's shrimp. Peach Blossom was pleasantly surprised. The bucket in Jingsheng's hand was full of small river shrimp, dug from the ravines in the field, and this thing was the most there.

"That's a lot. Mingsheng also looked at the keg and said.

"Erlang and I caught them, these are big ones, and there are a lot of small shrimps under the bucket, go back and let my mother fry them for you to eat. Jingsheng said.

"Thank you, big brother, wow!" Peach Blossom said excitedly, the sentence I love you almost blurted out, but fortunately remembered that it was ancient times, and stopped his mouth in time.

Kim Dae-chung went into the kitchen.

Jing Sheng nodded a little unnaturally, put down the bucket and was about to go to fetch water to wash his face, but Peach Blossom hurriedly went to help.

Then Peach Blossom and Mingsheng chattered around the small bucket and discussed how to eat, and finally the two of them thought that they should sort these shrimp and bathe them first.

When the two of them brought the basin to the Qingshui River in front of their house to wash shrimp, Zhang and Jin Dazhong looked at it with a smile through the kitchen window, and didn't help, let these children do it themselves, didn't they love to serve these things when they were young.

When Peach Blossom and Mingsheng came back with the cleaned shrimp, the chicken soup was also stewed.

The family looked around the table at the big pot of chicken soup in the middle, the chicken soup was very fragrant, the soup was shiny, everyone had a smile on their faces, Ming Sheng also swallowed his saliva exaggeratedly, and the pear blossoms laughed for a while.

Zhang picked up the bowl and first served a bowl to Jin Dazhong, then a full bowl to each of the children in turn, and finally served it to himself, but there was not much meat in the basin anymore.

"Mother, I can't finish eating, give you a piece. Rika said, and then took a piece of meat from her bowl and gave it to Zhang.

Without waiting for Zhang to say anything, Jing Sheng, Peach Blossom and Ming Sheng all took a piece from the bowl and gave it to Zhang.

Jin Dazhong looked at Zhang, and also put a piece in her bowl, and his voice was choked: "Child, these years, I have really suffered you!"

"This, I ......" Zhang looked at Jin Dazhong and then at the child, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

It seems that nothing needs to be said.

A meal of warmth and happiness.

"Mother's cooking is so delicious!" Mingsheng said with the corners of his mouth shiny as he touched his bulging belly.

"Of course, otherwise why would you grow so big, and you won't be able to drink all day long. Peach Blossom said.

Pear Blossom sneered, looked at Zhang's and said, "Look at Peach Blossom." ”

"Neng" is a local dialect that means smart, but it is often derogatory. Here's the compliment.

"You can too!" replied Zhang.

"Haha. "Peach blossoms are happy.

Rika pouted and said, "I'll be able to." ”

Now, everyone is happy.

In the afternoon, Peach Blossom put the small shrimp on the dustpan and took it to the yard to dry. Mingsheng looked back and forth. Jin Dazhong went to the back mountain to collect firewood to see if he could catch some more game, and Jingsheng also followed. Zhang cleaned up his dirty clothes in the back room and prepared to go down to wash them.

"What are you doing with it? If you want to eat it, let your mother fry it for you at night." "Pear blossom embroidered handkerchief, see the peach blossoms are busy working, very puzzled, the Zhuang family usually does not have many snacks, are fried peanuts, sunflower seeds or something, or catch some small shrimp, fried and fried, are their own production, or do not cost money.

"I kept some of it in the house and went back to stir-fry it. Then dry a part, and put a little bit in it when my mother makes soup again, it should be more flavorful, and we can also add a little when we drink porridge on weekdays, so as to change the taste. Peach Blossom said, in fact, she thought of it when she first saw the shrimp, the key is that this thing is particularly calcium, her small body is too weak, not to mention the rest of the family, she must make up for it, and she will have to let the eldest brother catch more in the future.

"That's right. Rika nodded, then lowered her head and began to embroider seriously.

Peach Blossom continues to be busy.

Thinking about making spicy shrimp for everyone at night, this is also what she is good at, in her previous life, she loved to eat shrimp very much, and she would do it in many different ways, but she liked the spicy way to eat the most. But there are not too many seasonings at home, and it is estimated that the taste is not as good as in the previous life.

Zhang took a large pot of clothes to the river to wash, Peach Blossom went to help, and Mingsheng looked bored and ran out to play again.

Zhang put down the basin, took out the clothes and put them into the river to rinse, then put them on the bluestone, took out a wooden stick and hammered it, and rubbed it a few times with his hands in the dirty places. In fact, there are soaphorns in this era, and the peach blossoms saw it when I went to the county last time, and I wanted to buy some, but it was too expensive to sell, and it cost five cents for a piece, so I was not willing to buy it, thinking that it would not be too late to buy it if I had more money in the future.

Peach Blossom watched Zhang's movements, and also took out a small coat and rubbed it vigorously.

Zhang watched the peach blossom movements and asked her to slow down, otherwise she would be tired after a while.

The mother and daughter were talking in a low voice, when they suddenly heard footsteps behind them, and then another voice came.

Zhang and Peach Blossom looked back.
