Chapter 59: Sending Duck Eggs
Shen Changting took it, and felt very moved by Zhao Qingzao's behavior in his heart, every time he had a request, Zhao Qingzao always didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and would directly help himself.
Thinking of this, Shen Changting looked at Zhao Qingzao gently: "After I get off work today, I'm going to go to the market to go around, do you have anything you want to buy? I'll buy it back for you." ”
Zhao Qingzao looked at him suspiciously: "You have money?"
Shen Changting nodded: "Yes, what do you want to buy?"
Zhao Qingzao stretched out his hand and pointed at him, pretending to be angry: "Okay, you dare to hide private money behind my back? You say, why are you hiding this money? Are you like those unserious sons, go to drink flower wine and find girls?"
Shen Changting listened to her words, and several black lines appeared on his forehead: "No, I didn't hide private money." ”
Zhao Qingzao didn't give up: "Then you say, where did the money on your body come from?"
Shen Changting stroked his forehead helplessly: "This was given to me by the county magistrate last night, not private money." ”
Zhao Qingzao had a trace of embarrassment on her face, but she still raised her face and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me? I see you, you just want to hide your private money!"
Shen Changting couldn't cry or laugh now: "Didn't I forget! Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't be angry." ”
After speaking, she was about to take out the money from her arms and wanted to hand it over to Zhao Qingzao, Zhao Qingzao also knew that she was overreacting, she waved her hand slightly: "Okay, okay, I'm joking with you! You should keep this money for yourself! ”
Shen Changting felt that he was familiar with the sensible Zhao Qingzao again, seeing her say this, Shen Changting no longer insisted, withdrew his hand, and picked up the lunch box that had just been placed on the table: "Do you really have nothing to buy?"
Zhao Qingzao shook his head firmly: "It's really not, okay, you can leave quickly! The dish will be cold after a while, and it will become unpalatable." ”
Shen Changting nodded, turned around and walked out, and Zhao Qingzao sent him to the door: "Then you be careful on the road and come back early in the evening." ”
Shen Changting smiled and nodded: "I know, if you feel that you have nothing to do at home, then you can go to Grandma Niu to talk." ”
Zhao Qingzao also smiled and nodded, and watched him go away, and when he couldn't see him, he went home and closed the door, approached the hall to clean up the bowl he had just eaten, took it to the kitchen to clean it, and picked up a rag to wipe the table in the hall, and when all this was done, she finally took a breath.
Then he went around the house and found that there was nothing to do, so he went to the cellar and pulled out the duck eggs that he had pickled not long ago.
She carried the jar to the kitchen, pulled her fingers and counted the date, only to find that the day by day passed very quickly, seeing that the duck eggs had been marinated for more than ten days, and they should be ready to eat.
The good days were almost over, so Zhao Qingzao opened the jar, took one out of it, put it in a bowl, and covered the jar again.
She filled a small half bowl of rice left over from noon from the pot, and then peeled off the salted duck eggs in the other bowl, she first tasted a small bite, and found that it was not very salty, but the taste was still very good, very delicious, she broke the salted duck eggs from the middle, and saw that the yellow oil was exposed from the cracks, and the taste was very fragrant.
Zhao Qingzao is even happier now, the duck eggs have already come out of the oil, which means that they have been pickled very successfully, the duck eggs are not salty, it just means that the time is still not enough, and if they are marinated for two more days, the taste will be heavier.
She finished the salted duck egg with the small half bowl of rice, and then fished out three or four more, ready to send it to Grandma Niu, and by the way, tell her about the good deeds.
Zhao Qingzao washed the bowl, and then put the jar of duck eggs back in the cellar, ready to marinate it for two more days before eating, and after she put the jar away, she walked out of the cellar, returned to the kitchen, wrapped the four salted duck eggs taken out of the table in advance, and walked in the direction of Grandma Niu's house.
She walked to the door of Grandma Niu's house, raised her hand and knocked on the door a few times: "Grandma, I'm Qingzao, are you at home?"
After Grandma Niu heard the shouting at home, she hurriedly ran out to open the door, and when she saw Zhao Qingzao, she hurriedly pulled her into her house.
Grandma Niu asked Zhao Qingzao to sit on the stool, and then asked Zhang Luo to boil water for her, after Zhao Qingzao saw it, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Grandma, don't be busy, I'm not thirsty, I just drank a big bowl of water at home, you sit here, let's talk." ”
When Grandma Niu heard her say this, she no longer insisted, she never regarded the green dates as an outsider, if she insisted too much, it would be a little alienating.
Grandma Niu sat beside Zhao Qingzao with a smile: "Okay! Grandma will accompany us to talk to Qingzao." ”
Zhao Qingzao smiled childishly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Grandma Niu: "Grandma, I'm here to tell you good news." ”
Grandma Niu asked a little nervously, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Qingzao smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is a fall! When my father-in-law came back today, I told him about hiking." ”
Grandma Niu held Zhao Qingzao's hand tightly: "That...... What did the pavilion say?"
Zhao Qingzao looked at Grandma Niu's nervous appearance, and felt a little distressed: "Grandma, my father-in-law said that Xingshan is a good seedling, and he will help him find things to do in the yamen, grandma, you can rest assured!"
Grandma Niu immediately happily pulled Zhao Qingzao and asked, "Qingzao, are you really saying it?"
Zhao Qingzao pursed her lips and pretended to be annoyed: "Grandma, of course what I said is true! What? You don't believe me? Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll let my father-in-law come and tell you in person, okay?"
Grandma Niu saw that Zhao Qingzao actually made a joke about herself, so she smiled and lightly tapped her forehead: "You ghost girl! Grandma doesn't believe you?"
Zhao Qingzao smiled and said, "I know that Grandma won't doubt me." ”
Grandma Niu smiled and patted her arm: "Qingjube girl, but to be honest, Grandma really wants to thank you and your parents for hiking! If it weren't for you, then ......."
Zhao Qingzao hurriedly stopped what Grandma Niu was about to say next: "Grandma, don't thank us, these are all because of the integrity and kindness of the hiking, so he will have this opportunity, so, Grandma, if you want to thank you, thank God!"
Grandma Niu looked at her puzzled: "What am I thanking God for?"
"Thank you, God, I have sent you a good grandson!" Zhao Qingzao said with a smile.
After Grandma Niu heard this, she also laughed happily: "Yes, yes, yes, I really want to thank God for sending such a good grandson to our Chu family." ”
Zhao Qingzao also smiled and nodded, and Grandma Niu still held Zhao Qingzao's hand after laughing: "Qingzao girl, no matter what you say, Grandma still wants to thank you and Changting." ”
Zhao Qingzao knew that if she didn't accept Grandma Niu's thanks, her old man would always be on her lips, so Zhao Qingzao had no choice but to nod helplessly: "Okay, Grandma, can't I accept your thanks?"
Grandma Niu looked at her with a smile: "This ghost girl ......"
Zhao Qingzao laughed twice, and then said mysteriously to Grandma Niu: "Grandma, I came this time not only to tell you about this, but also for another purpose. ”
Grandma Niu smiled and looked at the little girl who was pretending to be a ghost: "What purpose?"
Zhao Qingzao smiled: "I'll give you a delicious one." ”
Grandma Niu knew that Zhao Qingzao would always get something delicious, so she asked, "What kind of rare food did you make up this time?"
Zhao Qingzao smiled and handed the cloth bag in his hand to Grandma Niu: "That's it!"
Grandma Niu took it suspiciously, opened it and saw that there were four big duck eggs inside, Grandma Niu hurriedly closed the bag and returned the four duck eggs to Zhao Qingzao: "Green dates, this duck egg Grandma doesn't like to eat, you better take it back! Let Changting eat it, make up for him, you see, what kind of weight he has lost." ”
Zhao Qingzao smiled and put the cloth bag in his hand on the table: "Grandma, I still have it at home! This is to honor you, you can take it! Moreover, my duck egg is not ordinary, you can taste it and you will know." ”
Grandma Niu looked at her with a smile: "Isn't this just a duck egg, what can be extraordinary?"
Zhao Qingzao looked at Grandma Niu in a foolish manner: "My egg is a duck egg that can produce its own oil." ”
Now Grandma Niu was a little curious: "What? Will it produce oil? This duck egg will produce oil by itself?"
Zhao Qingzao nodded: "Yes, I just ate one at home, it's delicious, and the oil in it is very fragrant." ”
Grandma Niu reached out and took the cloth bag on the table, opened it and looked at it carefully, but still didn't find that the four duck eggs in it were different from the usual duck eggs: "Green jujube girl, you didn't make Grandma happy!"
Zhao Qingzao hurriedly shook his head: "Look at what you said, Grandma, how can I make you happy! What I said is true, if you don't believe it, I'll knock one open for you to see now." With that, he was ready to take one out of it and knock it open.
Grandma Niu hurriedly stopped her: "Okay, okay, no need to prove it, Grandma believes you, can't you?"
Zhao Qingzao nodded with satisfaction: "Then you can take it and taste it!"
Grandma Niu hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, according to what you say, these four duck eggs are not ordinary, Grandma won't eat them, you better take them back and eat them with Changting! ”
Zhao Qingzao looked at Grandma Niu helplessly, so she had to use her killer move: "Grandma, if you don't eat it, then you have to let Xingshan taste it!"
Grandma Niu once again wavered in her determination for the sake of her grandson, and Zhao Qingzao looked at her with a smile: "Okay, Grandma, I won't tell you, I'll go home." ”
Grandma Niu got up and sent her to the door: "I'll accept the duck eggs, thank you, green jujube girl!"
