Chapter 147: The Taste of Cucumbers
In order to hurry, the people in the convoy did not eat for seven or eight hours, smelled the aroma of meat, couldn't hold back any longer, hastily washed their hands, everyone lined up, and waited for Feng's red roast pork to be poured on the noodles, one spoonful per person. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Stir shredded potatoes and pat cucumbers are not less, and they are placed in two large pots, so that people can take their own.
When it's hot, people prefer to eat refreshing, after Mo Xiaohe mixed the cucumber, he ordered a few drops of sesame oil, and everyone also noticed that it tasted better than shredded potatoes.
"Husband, don't you eat cucumbers?"
Mo Xiaohe looked at Gu Zheng's bowl of noodles for half a bowl, and he didn't see him go to pick up the side dishes for a long time, so he was anxious, and finally showed that it was rare to complete a cold dish independently, and he was waiting for his husband to comment a few words and give her some motivation.
Making cold dishes, it's very simple to say, but it's not like that, it takes skill to shoot cucumbers, and salt, vinegar and spicy are all according to the proportion, she is also estimated according to the amount of cucumbers, and the people who eat a bowl go back to serve it, Mo Xiaohe is not calm.
"Do you want to eat?"
Gu Zheng thought that Mo Xiaohe wanted to eat, so he went to serve a small plate, put it on the table, and then continued to eat noodles.
"Well, it's hot in summer, and the cucumber is refreshing, why don't you eat some?"
In fact, Mo Xiaohe can directly say that she made the cucumber shooting, which made Gu Zheng cheer, but she refused, and the topic revolved around the cucumber, I don't know how much it took to spit.
Gu Zheng finally felt that something was wrong, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the noodles in the bowl had been eaten cleanly.
"Lady, didn't you say that you shouldn't eat garlic before going to bed at night? There will be a taste in the mouth. ”
The residual garlic smell can not be cleaned with tooth powder, Mo Xiaohe is squeamish, before I have heard that the people in the village like to use garlic to season their dishes, and they will put some minced garlic into the stir-fry.
Her husband's expression was too serious, which made Mo Xiaohe embarrassed, she said this, it was because the husband and wife had sex at night, kissing and kissing, all of them smelled of garlic, so she said casually.
It's not like modern times, there is mouthwash, chewing gum, the taste is very tenacious, and a little smoky, she hesitated, and whispered, "Why don't you eat a piece?" ”
"Okay."
Gu Zheng had no objection, picked up a cucumber with chopsticks, shook off the minced garlic on it, and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Husband, what does it smell like?"
Mo Xiaohe couldn't describe the excitement at the moment, and he was instantly proud and ambitious, and he would practice his craft well in the future, and make good food for his husband in the future. Although he was tall and muscular, he was a little too thin.
"Yes, the smell of cucumbers."
Gu Zheng understood in his heart, but he still had a straight face, teasing her own lady, obviously she was impatient, as soon as she teased, she immediately looked like a fried cat, grinning her teeth, showing her claws, ready to attack at any time.
“……”
Mo Xiaohe was speechless, so he simply opened the car window and ignored him.
It was already dark, and the village not far away was silent, it was the busy farming time, and the villagers went to bed early, and there were a few faint cicadas. Outside the carriage, the convoy was being rectified in the tent, Jiang Lao Wu adopted two babies, laughed from ear to ear all day long, laughed and laughed, and hummed a few mountain tunes when he had nothing to do, mobilizing the atmosphere of the convoy.
After going out for 20 days, everyone has become accustomed to it, when they eat and sleep in the open, they don't feel bitter, they eat and drink well, but the sun is bright during the day, and it is a little difficult, and the people who come out are obviously darker by a degree.
Feng was washing the dishes and chopsticks, Dog Wa and Chunni sensibly handed over the rag, and there was a big pot of boiling water next to it, which had to boil a pot of boiling water every night, ready to be poured into the kettle carried by everyone early the next morning, and kept to quench their thirst on the road.
Plain, comfortable, no wind and waves, in fact, such days are also very good, looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Mo Xiaohe felt something.
There are about seven or eight days to reach Yingchuan, and a batch of silk prepared along the way has been sold, which is better than she expected, Luzhou silk is a good thing, and it has never been sold. If it weren't for the lack of supply, and she was in a hurry to go home, she would definitely do a big job.
Gu Zheng learned that he had offended his own lady, so he honestly ate all the cucumbers in the bowl, sent the bowls and chopsticks off the carriage, and gave Mo Xiaohe hot water.
"Hmph."
Mo Xiaohe turned her head, snorted, pretending not to see him, she felt sorry for him in her heart, she was driving during the day, the sweat penetrated her clothes, wet and dry, dry and wet, never called a word of bitterness, not only that, but she could also take care of her, he was always very silent, and he would not express his emotions.
Mo Xiaohe really wanted to do something for Gu Zheng, after thinking about it, she was very frustrated, no one expected that she would get married before she could get married, and she didn't have time to learn housekeeping.
"Lady, soak your feet."
Gu Zheng put the wooden basin in front of Mo Xiaohe's eyes, and tested the water temperature with his hands, just right, he stood up again to pick up the carriage, and the two little babies were in the car during the day, with a little bit of fruit peels, Mo Xiaohe didn't clean up.
On the side of the carriage, there were oil lamps hanging on the wall of the carriage, and the dim light made people feel quite warm, Mo Xiaohe soaked her feet while looking at the shadows of her and Gu Zheng on the wall of the carriage, with a faint smile on her face.
The day of returning home is getting closer and closer, and they will be able to see their relatives immediately, and all the goods will be sold this time, and the silver exchanged for them will be enough to live a very rich life for ten years, if they are only in the village, it will be enough for a lifetime. It's hard to go anywhere, but she just adapts to the slow pace and feels that there's nothing wrong with it.
In modern times, the Internet is developed, there are television, telephone, and many Internet platforms, which are changing with each passing day, and some people have once lamented that in the past, the carriage and horse were very slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime.
"Husband, we're almost home."
Mo Xiaohe sighed with emotion, she has been out for more than half a year, and she has seen the scenery and customs of various places, she really wants to lie on the big bed at home, she arranged it with her own hands, and she has not lived in a wooden house yet.
In autumn, the wildflowers all over the mountains are picked in a bouquet, dried into dried flowers, placed in colorful ceramic bottles, placed by the window, and on the dining table, which is also a beautiful scenery. She made a swing out of vines and watched the scenery from the treehouse, and at that moment, she waited for a long, long time.
Xu is God is eyes open, there has been no rain in the past few days, the team has been traveling day and night, eight days have passed in a flash, Mo Xiaohe has made her life extremely fulfilling every day, she humbly consulted with Feng, making clothes, dresses, and shoe uppers, all of which have mastered seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
Feng Shi gave a suggestion, you can go to the bazaar to buy a thousand layers of soles, make your own uppers, or a few copper plates, save time and effort, look at Mo Xiaohe, not bad for that money, don't have to do everything yourself.
Sewing, washing, feeding chickens and ducks, pickling meat, making steamed buns, Feng Shi came out one by one, Mo Xiaohe was afraid that he would not be able to remember, so he specially recorded it in a small book, and if he forgot it later, he would flip it through from time to time.
When you arrive at Yingchuan, not far away is the border city, which is the main production area of Dayue medicinal materials, the pills are very cheap, and the results are good, the men of the convoy more or less bought some, most of them are bought for the elderly and children at home, in order to prevent any headache and brain fever.
Mo Xiaohe and Gu Zheng went back to the clan, sent a few jars of good wine, silk, and some gadgets brought from Luzhou, and she went to the house of herself and Gu Zheng to take a look, the furnishings have not changed, no one in the clan has been married, and the house has been preserved.
"Husband, let's keep some of the silk and sell the rest."
The convoy was scattered in Yingchuan, Uncle Jiang went back, she still had a cart of wine and bits and pieces, and when she returned to Dawu, she had to hire at least a coachman to help transport the goods.
"Last night, Feng Dachun came to me, and he didn't seem to want to go back."
I heard that he was going to Dawu all the way, Feng Dachun wanted to go to Dawu to see, he had a lot of strength, he couldn't starve to death anywhere, this trip to the far side, he made up his mind, and it was better to change to a new environment in the future than to listen to gossip in the village.
"Does Uncle Jiang agree?"
Leaving home in these years is a big event, and it must be carefully considered, otherwise some will regret it, and many villages are closed, and the villagers have always had reservations about outsiders.
"Uncle Jiang can't convince him."
Feng Dachun is a person with ideas, he has already made a decision, he said to Gu Zheng that his salary is given to Uncle Jiang, and he only has two taels of silver left on him, which is enough to live.
When you go to Dawu, rent a small yard, 200 wen a month, save some food and housing, and after settling down, you can first do a coolie who transports goods, first stabilize and then think about it in the long run.
The husband and wife came to the money village, Mo Xiaohe is full of silver tickets, she wants to exchange a part of the cash, the twenty taels that she said at the beginning, have given a deposit of five taels of silver, and the rest of the silver money will be settled today.
As soon as he returned to the inn where he was staying, Uncle Jiang brought Feng Dachun to greet him, and seeing that the two of them looked calm, they should have reached a consensus.
"Da Chun thought of Da Wu, and I didn't convince him, so it's okay."
Change the environment, start from scratch, maybe you can still fight for a career, marry a wife and have children, although it is far away, you can't see each other often in the future, and it is good to write two letters a year.
Uncle Jiang didn't want Feng Dachun's money, the two pushed and shoved, not only that, Uncle Jiang was afraid that he would be alone outside, so he insisted on giving his salary to Feng Dachun.
"Brother-in-law, I have relied on you to take care of the family for so many years, Tie Niu is going to get married in the next two years, and the little girl will get married in a few years, I am an uncle, I can't say nothing."
Feng Dachun's words were sincere, he had long held such thoughts, if he was still hesitating before, the opportunity that suddenly appeared made him firm in his confidence, and there was nothing bad about Dawu.
"I'll talk about it when you have the money later."
Uncle Jiang just refused to ask for it, he took the silver away, how will Dachun live in the future? If his wife knew, she wouldn't necessarily be angry with him.
The two were at a stalemate, and finally Gu Zheng adjusted, since Feng Dachun had a heart, he left ten taels of silver for Uncle Jiang, just this trip to Dawu, and there was a lack of a coachman, he would pay another five taels of silver to settle in Dawu, if they encountered tricky things in the future, they would also take a hand if they could help.
