Chapter 9 Crispy Peanuts

"Is the rice cooked, I'm hungry!"

Father Han shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although his family has enough to eat, and his eldest son often goes into the mountains to hunt, the prey is exchanged for money, so he does not eat meat much throughout the year. He's hungry.

On rainy days, it gets dark faster, so they call it off earlier than usual.

"Come on, Daddy, wash your hands, sit down and rest for a while, and the dishes will be out of the pot immediately. ”

Luo Qinian is counting the time to cook. When Han's father and them came back, she only fried two green vegetables and was done.

"Osmanthus, Xiaofeng, come and serve me food. ”

Zhang Guihua lost her temper: "It's you cooking today, you should serve the dishes and bowls, why ask us to help." ”

Luo Qinian opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Xiaofeng.

I saw Zhang Xiaofeng helping Han Jie wipe his hands, with low eyebrows and a shy face. As if I hadn't heard her.

Luo Qinian frowned, forget it. Since the division of labor is done, let's make it clearer.

There are a lot of dishes tonight, and Luo Qinian went in and out several times before all the meals were served on the table.

Han Xian took an exaggerated sniff: "Well, it's really fragrant, it's more fragrant than what Chef Jufulou made." ”

Zhang Xiaofeng's originally unsightly face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot.

Luo Qi came here at the beginning of the year, and he didn't know why, but when he saw that Han Xian liked it, he smiled and said, "Yes, then I can consider going to the town to open a restaurant in the future." I'm in charge, and I don't know if it's going to be full. ”

"That's inevitable. I'll tell you, sister-in-law. The food in our academy is worse than pig food, and my classmates who have a little money are not willing to eat in the canteen, so they go out to fight tooth sacrifices and take care of small stalls and restaurants. Jufulou is the most we go to, because the price is cheap, or the third sister-in-law's house. ”

"Hehe......" Luo Qinian laughed dryly. Bastard boy hurt himself and offended others. She smiled at Zhang Xiaofeng embarrassedly, but who knew that the other party didn't look at her at all. The embarrassment was great.

"Eat your meal, talk a lot. ”

"Oh, eat, eat. After realizing it, Han Xian also knew that he had upset the third sister-in-law. I wanted to apologize, but people didn't pay attention to it at all, so I had to eat with a meal.

Back in the room, Han Xuan ping-pong tinkered with some wooden boards.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll make you a bed. ”

"Why ......" she was a little nervous, rubbing her hands on the corners of her clothes.

"My bed is small, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable sleeping. ”

"No!" Luo Qinian wanted to cover up: "It's good, it's not uncomfortable." ”

"Yes. Han Xuan's keen gaze swept over Luo Qinian's tangled fingers: "Then I won't take it, let's sleep together tonight, and we will sleep together in the future." ”

"Huh?" Luo Qinian's apricot eyes widened, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.

"We are husband and wife, and if we sleep together, we can have children earlier. ”

But didn't ...... say that he was going to give me a wedding banquet? Didn't he say that he wouldn't touch me before the wedding banquet?

"Hmph......" A low, hoarse laugh came from Han Xuan's chest. Luo Qinian had an epiphany, she was tricked!

"You're lying to me!" she folded her hands on her hips, glaring angrily, her cheeks bulging.

Han Xuan pinched her cheek, Luo Qinian's mouth leaked, and with a "poof", it was deflated.

"What are you lying to?" Han Xuan's voice was hoarse, and his gaze was deep, like a deep pool, easily drowning people.

His gaze frightened Luo Qinian, so he dodged and didn't dare to look directly into Han Xuan's eyes: "It's nothing, don't you want to build a bed?" Hurry up, I'm tired." ”

Han Xuan doted: "Little guy, duplicity." ”

Luo Qinian looked at the dark night outside the window and pondered. The Han family is not wealthy and rarely eats meat, so tonight's meal of fish and meat will make them very satisfied.

"Han Xuan, do you want to do business?"

"Daddy won't allow it. ”

"Why? It's so good to do business, you can get money quickly, and you can eat meat at once. ”

"Shinong, businessmen, and businessmen have a low status. After the fourth brother took the official career, someone in the family influenced him to conduct scientific research through the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Luo Qinian twisted his eyebrows, not understanding: "The dignitaries and nobles are all doing business, they have a lot of shops and granges, don't they still make steady progress and soar?"

"Different. If the fourth brother can be promoted in the future, we can also do business. However, the fourth brother could not be promoted before the promotion, because the scientific examination had to investigate the family situation, and the merchants were not allowed to participate in the scientific examination. ”

"Is that okay?"

Luo Qinian thought it was too incredible, only the governor was allowed to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps! No wonder she didn't want to do embroidery in her previous life, and when she wanted to go to the town to set up a stall, Li Xianren's face was ugly, and her mother-in-law cursed her more than once.

"Then you have to urge the fourth brother to read diligently and get promoted as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, I must urge him to read diligently, and come back next year after the exam, don't delay you to make money." ”

Han Xuan's eyes were full of smiles, as if the starlight had been crumpled and sprinkled inside, extremely bright.

Luo Qinian was unhappy: "What." It makes me feel like a money junkie. I just want everyone to have meat at every turn, and I want my dad and mother to wear good clothes. ”

Han Xuan was moved, this little girl, as long as others treat her better, she will think about others with her heart and lungs.

suddenly thought of Li Xianren, that talented and gentle man annoyed her, and Luo Qinian hurriedly married him in order to get rid of him.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qinian saw Han Xuan stunned, and his little hand waved in front of his eyes.

"Nothing. "Men don't like men who are better than them in front of their daughters-in-law, otherwise their majesty will be compromised.

Han Xuan set up the bed and lay down to try it. Well, the bed was firm and flat. brought a new quilt from Han's mother's room and laid it out for her: "Sleep." ”

"Gui'an. ”

Han Xuan was not used to it, and it was a little awkward, but thinking about his daughter-in-law's literacy, she might be used to being different from others, so he also said, "You are the same." ”

At breakfast the next day, Han Xian held the bowl and looked at Luo Qinian's infinite resentment.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qinian didn't know.

Han Xian came over with a shy face: "Sister-in-law, I took a vacation, I am going to study at the academy, and I will not go home until half a month." ”

"Oh. Luo Qinian responded, she knows. In the past, when Li Xianren was studying at the academy, she took care of her luggage, so she was very familiar with the college's rest time.

"That, sister-in-law. I won't be able to eat the food at home when I go to the academy, so you can prepare some dry food for me. ”

"Well, whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you later. ”

"Pancakes. "This one can last two more days.

Luo Qinian remembered that he said last night that the food in the college cafeteria was unpalatable, and his classmates often went out to fight tooth sacrifices. It is estimated that he is also greedy, but the conditions at home are limited, and he can't go out to eat like other classmates.

"Okay, I'll get you some crispy peanuts and pickles. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. ”

Han Xian was satisfied, drank the porridge in a big gulp, and went back to the house to read.

"Wow, sycophant. ”

Although Zhang Guihua's voice was very small, Han Yu and Luo Qinian, who were sitting next to her, still heard it.

Luo Qinian thought that her brother-in-law disliked Zhang Guihua's cooking was not delicious, and she was uncomfortable, so she didn't squeak.

After breakfast, Luo Qinian went to Han's mother to ask for peanuts. Han's mother poured half a basket for Luo Qinian. Luo Qinian was surprised: "Mother, it's too much, the fourth brother can't finish it." ”

Han's mother smiled: "How can you eat alone, bring more with you, so that you can share a share of his classmates." ”

"That's still a lot. ”

"You're stupid, just make it for Han Xian. Don't eat a bunch of people in the house. Your dad likes to drink when he's old, so make more and serve him snacks. ”

"Oh. ”

Crispy peanuts are simple. Luo Qinian mixed the peeled peanuts with egg whites, salt, five-spice flour and flour, and put the peanuts in the pot when the oil in the pot was hot. When the peanut skin turns golden brown and makes a crackling sound, the pot is raised.

The fragrant crispy peanuts aroused Han's father's cravings. He took out a jug of wine from the cupboard, poured half a bowl in an enamel bowl, and ate it with the taste of peanuts.

Today, after eating peanuts, Han's father led his sons up the mountain to cut bamboo and weave baskets. When the farm is slack, baskets, dustpans and other things are made, and when the autumn harvest is approaching, they can be picked up in the town to buy, and they can also be exchanged for a few dollars to supplement the family.

I have to say that Han's father taught his son very well. Even Han Xian Muxiu had to do farm work at home, saying: People, you can't forget your roots. If the croppers don't divide the grain, they will be laughed at.

This time, Luo Qinian was fortunate to follow him on the mountain. Han's father took Han Yu, Han Jie, and Han Xian to cut bamboo. Han Xuan took Luo Qinian to hunt, and by the way, he saw if there was any prey caught in the trap.

Han Xuan didn't take Luo Qinian into the deep mountains, but only wandered around the slopes. Luo Qinian was dissatisfied, and pouted in protest: "Han Xuan, is it okay for us to go to the deep mountains, there is no prey on the slopes." ”

"No, there are a lot of big guys in the mountains, I can't protect you. ”

Luo Qinian was unhappy, and secretly thought that she would secretly run to play by herself when she had the opportunity in the future. She hadn't been in the mountains, so she wanted to see it. Like, there's something very important in there.

The traps that Han Xuan dug were in good locations, and almost every trap had one or two pheasants and hares or something. There is a trap in the middle of the hedgehog and then the hedgehog. No one bought the hedgehog, and the meat was not delicious, so Han Xuan threw it away. Seeing it curl up into a ball and roll into the grass, Luo Qinian laughed: "This is rolling, it's fun." ”

Han Xuan also smiled: "Today's harvest is good, tomorrow I will go to the town to tear a piece of cloth for you to make a few clothes." ”

Luo Qinian blushed, and packed a few sets of clothes, but the better ones were all looted by Luo's mother, leaving only two sets of patched clothes, which were changed in turn.

"Thank you. She was touched that the people who had only been with her for a few days were so kind to her. The blood relatives squeezed the only value she had, and she would not give up until she squeezed it dry.

"Silly girl, we are a family, say nothing thank you. ”

Luo Qinian was suddenly very emotional and made a move she didn't expect. She threw herself into Han Xuan's arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, her cheeks against his chest, and listened to the sound of his heart pounding and beating.

In this way, she felt very relieved.

Han Xuan had never been so close to a woman, and he stiffened and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, he felt a wetness in his chest and hurriedly looked down. It turned out that his little girl was crying.

Helplessly, he patted her on the back and coaxed her like a child. "Don't cry, don't cry. Do you like new clothes? If you like, I'll buy you a lot of clothes and let you change them every day. ”

"Puff...... Luo Qinian burst into tears and laughed: "What you said, you are not allowed to repay the account in the future." We're hooking and hooking, and if you're paying the bills, you're a puppy. ”

"Okay, pull hook hook. ”

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, a hundred years, don't change!"
