What the aunt next door said, Mo Xiaohe didn't hear it at all, taking advantage of the good weather, she quickly washed the dirty clothes she had saved a few days ago, hung them on the clothes pole, and took a rag to clean up the house inside and out, she wanted to be a diligent little lady.

Although in the village, there is no Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang on weekdays, Mo Xiaohe is not affected, every household in the village raises chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock, she has not touched it, which saves a lot of effort. Raising livestock, and worrying about the rations of the animals, are delayed for an hour or two a day.

Chai He is Gu Zheng's fight, and she doesn't need to contribute to fetch water, and now she doesn't have to care about the food of the rest of the people in the shack, she picks up the yard, cooks two meals a day, and waits for her husband to come home.

At noon, Mo Xiaohe slept for a while, and when she got up, she took the broken silver, carried the bamboo basket, and went straight to the only butcher's house in the village.

In these years, the people are short of oil and water, the fatter the pork, the more popular, there are not a few pieces of meat on the big bones, just the weight, buy it home to boil soup, you can only taste a meat taste, it is not cost-effective at all, no one cares about it at all.

Mo Xiaohe likes stick bones the most, always let the butcher chop them open, revealing the bone marrow oil inside, which is nutritious and the best thing to use to replenish the body, eating pork every day, it is inevitable that she will feel greasy, she really wants to change the taste of her husband.

"Little lady of the Gu family, are you going out?"

The village chief's daughter-in-law was carrying a basket in her hand, and she was in the same direction as Mo Xiaohe, and the two were quite familiar with each other, so they said hello.

"yes, sister-in-law, where are you going? Do you go to buy meat too? ”

Stretch out her hand and don't hit the smiling person, the village chief's daughter-in-law is a shrewd person and likes to be careful, but if she doesn't offend her interests, she is still a good talker, Mo Xiaohe pointed to the location of the butcher's house at the head of the village, "I'll go buy two bones and stew vegetables home." ”

"Yes, I dried some gourd strips at home, and it was cold, so I wanted to stew some pork to eat."

The village chief's family has a good life, but they can't always eat meat, there is a small piece of bacon at home, and sometimes a few pieces of stir-fried vegetables are put on it, all of which are counted, and the men in the family eat first, and it is her turn to eat, and there is nothing left.

"Gourd strips? Why don't we change it? ”

Mo Xiaohe remembered the taste of gourd strip stew, swallowed her saliva, she came to Tianshui Village late, for a month, there was almost no production in the backyard vegetable field, and she didn't take advantage of it, and wanted to exchange it for bacon.

"What can't be changed, there are a lot of gourd strips at home, if you want to take it, don't be too outside!"

Hearing that gourd strips can be exchanged for meat, the village chief's daughter-in-law smiled and squinted her eyes, her heart was full of will, but she didn't show it on her face, and she shirked a few words, she paused, with a touch of worry on her face, "Little lady of the Gu family, your family was robbed a few days ago and lost a lot of things, right?" ”

Mo Xiaohe said to buy bones, there is silver, who will eat that? Eighty percent was stolen by Gao Lao Wu, and he could only save his life, thinking of this, the village chief's daughter-in-law glanced at her sympathetically.

"The widow in the village has stolen all the money she kept to buy the coffin board!"

Not only that, but it is said that it was also ...... The village chief's daughter-in-law hates the widow who seduces the man everywhere, and she doesn't know how happy she is when she sees the widow unlucky.

"Alas, yes, the thief stole my purse, thanks to the husband still has some money on him, otherwise he would have drunk the northwest wind."

Mo Xiaohe was noncommittal, if someone knew that there was silver, it was easy to be remembered, since the village chief's daughter-in-law asked her, she pretended to be pitiful and sighed, "The husband said that the village chief took people to the mountains to look for it, but they found nothing, and I am afraid that the silver money will not come back." ”

After hearing this, the village chief's daughter-in-law pondered for a moment, pulled Mo Xiaohe aside, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I think we are quite close, I will make a deal with you, but don't say that I said it." ”

Two days ago, a family in the village suddenly caught fire, his father-in-law took the village people to the door, the other party did not open the door for a long time, and did not let people in, and finally finally entered the door, the staff sent some food, good words, if there is no cat greasy, who believes?

Because it rained for two days in a row, the house outside the staff was on fire, and many people in the village didn't know about it, and the village chief and daughter-in-law said that Mo Xiaohe realized it later, before she got married, Li Er knew the widower outside, would she hide there?

No matter what, Mo Xiaohe was still very grateful to the village chief and daughter-in-law for telling her the news, and the two went to the butcher's house side by side to buy meat. ”

"Who has such a big appetite that they can eat a whole pig?"

The village chief's daughter-in-law sank her face, and finally her stingy father-in-law was willing to bleed, so she cut a few catties of pork belly and stewed it home, did she run away in vain? If you go to the surrounding villages, you have to walk more than ten miles, and at this point, the good location has already been sold out!

"It's the old man who came to serve as a servant and bought farmland and built a house in the village!"

The butcher grinned, now there are only two pig loins, which he keeps for himself, and the rest, not even a pig is in the water.

Tenderloin is 12 wen a catty, there is no oil and water, pork belly is 15 wen, and 18 wen on the chest, few people in the village buy tenderloin, unless they are hungry for meat, and they don't make money in money.

"Okay, give me and Gu Xiaoniang half of the ridge there, but the price is ......"

The village chief's daughter-in-law deliberately lengthened her voice, and the butcher sold it as a pig, and the silver had already been earned, so in order to do favors, she waved her hand, "The normal price is 12 Wen, that's all, a total of four catties, one of you is 2 catties, and one is 15 Wen." ”

After converting the price, one catty is only seven or eight Wen, the village chief's daughter-in-law is very satisfied, and Mo Xiaohe is following the borrowing light, she specially chose a small one, more than one catty, and gave Fifteen Wen.

For Mo Xiaohe's practice of knowing current affairs, the village chief and daughter-in-law were quite satisfied, and after going out, she said kindly, "My maiden name is Osmanthus, you can just call Osmanthus sister-in-law, don't be polite, look for me if you have something in the future, turn around and be free, and send you the gourd strips." ”

"Then thank you, sister-in-law Osmanthus."

Mo Xiaohe was very polite, and when the people were far away, she lowered her head and looked at the tenderloin in her hand and frowned, it seems that she has to change the recipe for the next night, why not make a sweet and sour tenderloin?

On the way back, I happened to see a family killing sheep, because of the strong smell of fishy, the people in the village don't like to eat it very much, but some people are proud, noisy and shouting on the side, Mo Xiaohe saw that there was mutton, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of what she could do at night.

After waiting for half an hour, she finally bought mutton, Mo Xiaohe went to the village again, bought a big rooster, and let the other party kill and shave on the spot.

Chicken wings, necks, thighs, breasts, bits and pieces of chicken hearts and gizzards are skewered together, sliced lamb skewers, tenderloin, sprinkled with a small amount of spices marinated, ready for a barbecue dinner in the evening.

In Dawu, the only advantage is that the seasoning is developed, Mo Xiaohe was quite shocked when he saw cumin in the grocery store, it is said that the big restaurant is used to using such a seasoning. Cumin has a different name, called cumin celery, and the fruit can be used as medicine to treat indigestion, stomach cold and abdominal pain and other symptoms.

Mo Xiaohe put the cumin grains on the board, broke them with a rolling pin, collected them in a small jar, as well as sesame seeds, chili noodles, and prepared peanut oil, she was not good at barbecue, that was Gu Zheng's unique skill, she prepared all the follow-up work, and waited for her husband to go home.

Even if she was reluctant, she went to the grocery store opened by the village chief's daughter-in-law, bought sorghum wine with a relatively high degree, and made fried peanuts and garlic cucumbers as appetizers.

As the sun set, Gu Zheng and his uncle Li Dazhuang came back together, because the pace of mountain and rock mining could not keep up, they all went to the mountain to help, the work time was not too long, and they were tired enough.

"People, it's not okay to be old, thanks to Lin Xiucai's help, otherwise it would be really hard to be assigned to Quarry Mountain, no wonder Li Er couldn't stand it, and would rather bear the consequences of being imprisoned and run away."

Li Dazhuang's back and legs hurt, after entering the courtyard, he sat on the big stone at the door, Gu Zheng invited him to come to the house for dinner, and he followed without thinking about it.

"Uncle, you sit down for a while, wash your face first."

Mo Xiaohe didn't know that her uncle was coming, she was stunned, she pulled Gu Zheng and pulled him into the stove with a twist, her face was red, "I bought meat, but it wasn't roasted well, I have to come with you, I don't know that my uncle is coming, I'm afraid it will take a while to eat." ”

There is no staple food at home, Mo Xiaohe pondered about some vermicelli, made a bowl of hot and sour noodles to eat, and it was too simple.

"There's so much meat, it's enough to eat, I'll make a charcoal fire, and we'll roast it in the yard."

Gu Zheng hooked the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared in his eyes, it must be his own lady who is greedy, it seems that he has to show off his skills.
