Chapter 13: Delivering Food
The method of dough is very simple, that is, the wheat noodles, here called gray noodles, add water to make a paste, pour it into a pot and spread it into a thin cake. In fact, if you have vegetables, it is best to use vegetable burritos.
It's just that they have eaten the last meal now and have not eaten the next meal, and it would be good to have sauerkraut. A total of six cakes were spread, and half of the gray noodles were used.
When the cake is ready, the porridge will cook for a while. "Baobao, come and taste the deliciousness made by my mother."
The son looked at it for a long time, of course, he had to comfort this little gluttonous cat first. Tear off a piece of dough, Mu Zhen rolled it and fed it to the little bun.
"Well, it's delicious. This is the most delicious meal Baobao has ever eaten, and it is even better than what Aunt Shanzi cooks. "The little bun is very face-saving compliment.
"Eat some more delicious buns." Looking at her son's cute expression, Mu Zhen's heart softened into a puddle of water.
"No, aren't we going to bring food to Daddy? Let's wait for Daddy to eat together. ”
Knowing that her son was sensible, Mu Zhen gave up, let him look at the fire, and turned around to find a basket to fill the food.
There is not much rice at home, Mu Zhen's porridge has added some other ingredients, what red beans, mung beans, bud rice, although the grain is miscellaneous, but the taste is very good, and it smells very fragrant.
Put the porridge in small wooden barrels, and the sauerkraut in a sea bowl, carry it in a basket, and go out with a small bun.
As soon as I went out, I met a family in the upper room who was squatting at the door to eat.
"Yo, third daughter-in-law, aren't you sick and can't get out of bed? I just went out this morning, and now I'm going out again, and I look in good spirits. Thinking of Mu Zhen's attitude in the morning, Li Shi opened his mouth in a strange way.
When Song heard this, the old face immediately pulled down, "The third daughter-in-law, I look at you very well, tomorrow you will wash the clothes, the fire will be yours, and the eldest daughter-in-law is also busy every day." ”
Mu Zhen glanced at Li angrily, and said to Song with a soft attitude: "Mother, Dr. Xu came to give me a follow-up examination, and he said that I had bruises in my skull and couldn't go to bed all day, so I endured the pain and turned around." ”
"Bruising? What's that? It's not a big deal, right?,I'm looking at you very well.,It's not going to be a girl, right? Without waiting for Song's squeak, Li rushed to speak.
"It's not a big deal, it's just going to die." Mu Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Li family, and spoke directly with the weakness of the Song family.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you're full of food, aren't you? If the mouth is cheap and the hair is long, can't you settle down? Sure enough, this trick worked the most. The Song family didn't pretend to be a good mother-in-law anymore, and yelled directly at the Li family.
The Song family is so powerful, Mu Zhen also has to pretend to be virtuous, "Dad, mother, when I am well, I will serve your old man well." You eat first, I'm going to deliver food to the third child, he said that the work in the field should be hurried, no, when I left in the morning, I said that I wouldn't come back to eat, so I sent him to the field. ”
Things must be reversed, the Song family and He Laohan have been squeezing them for a long time, if they are deflated here by Mu Zhen again and again, maybe this trick will not work at that time.
Giving them a soft mouth, it can satisfy their vanity in the past, and it can also confuse them, making them feel that they are still afraid of them, so why not.
The Li family's status in this family was not the highest before, but with her giving birth to two grandchildren in a row, it was by no means the lowest, and now because of Mu Zhen, she was scolded by the Song family one after another, and she was naturally uncomfortable.
"Delivering food? Since you know how to cook, then we will divide our family's meals in the future, why don't you just eat and dry? Also, why don't you bring it to your father and mother first? ”
Mu Zhen knew that the Li family would find fault, and she had already prepared to accept it, "Sister-in-law, why don't I want to be filial to my father, but what is my craftsmanship, my father and mother must be clear." As long as you don't dislike it, I'll take care of the food from now on. ”
"Old man, are we missing you to eat or to drink? Cook me a few meals and you can't even make them? Then what am I going to do when I tell you to come back to my son? ”
He Laohan is an authentic farmer, although his family has been rich over the years, but he is still very frugal, and he feels distressed when he thinks of the kitchen and the burned meals that were almost burned at that time.
Therefore, before Song could speak, he roared first.
And the Song family, the Li family's provocation this time, she and Ben didn't care about it. Does the third family have delicious food? Joke, give them something every month, she won't know?
The wheat bran, sauerkraut, pickled vegetables and the like mixed with the gray flour are all melted and they don't eat. What are these things doing in the upper room? They use to feed the pigs, and this will be good?
"Okay, let's go quickly, you don't have anything to cook and do, if you're good, just burn the fire and wash your clothes." As he spoke, he wiped his oily mouth with his hand, and twisted his body to get up.
Li was yelled at by He Laohan, and Song didn't give her help, so she had to enter the house in a gloomy manner.
Xiao Baozi ran happily in front, and as soon as he saw He Laosan, he shouted excitedly: "Dad, Dad, come and eat." My mother's cooking is delicious. ”
As soon as He Laosan came over, Xiao Baozi took He Laosan's hand and said, "Dad, my mother is amazing, in the morning, my father and mother-in-law didn't pack bags, didn't scold my mother, and scolded my mother." ”
He Laosan was surrounded by small buns in the clouds, looked curiously at Mu Zhen who came with a small bucket and basket, and stepped forward to take the things in her hand, "What do you mean by what Yiqing said?" ”
Xiao Baozi's excited voice, Mu Zhen heard it from afar, no wonder he was so happy just now.
"It's nothing, it's just that my sister-in-law kept finding fault in the morning, and I cleverly blocked it back, she set herself on fire, and was scolded by her father and mother."
In Xiao Baozi's impression, only they were beaten and scolded, and their family was fine this morning, but the eldest lady was scolded, can you not be happy?
"Okay, my mother said that my father and mother will protect the little buns in the future. Bags, go to the gutter and wash your hands, and we'll start eating right away. ”
The ditch is a small stream, just next to the road, relatively shallow, and Mu Zhen is relieved that Xiao Baozi will go alone.
"Xianggong, I used a lot of food at home for a meal in the morning, and it is estimated that in another three or five days, we will have no food to eat." The food given to the upper house every month is on the first day of the new year, which is only the middle of the year, and it is still far away.
"There's nothing to do, I'll find a way without it. I still have a few taels of silver saved at home, and when the time comes, I will ask Geumsan to go to the town to help buy some back. "My daughter-in-law can cook for him now, what does it matter if the food runs out.
"Do you have silver? Have they not taken all your money? Mu Zhen knew that as long as the Song family asked for it, even if He Laosan didn't want to give it, he couldn't refuse, so how did he save this money?
"When Yiqing was young, he was always sick, and he didn't give them money when he asked for it, and then when I went to other people's houses to do cooking, I took the time to go hunting, and they didn't know the money, so they didn't ask me for it."
After Xiao Baozi came back from washing his hands, he saw his father and mother talking, and sat beside him obediently. Mu Zhen rolled the cake for He Laosan and Xiao Baozi, and served them a bowl of porridge to dry.
"Oh, by the way, I remembered when you said silver. Last time Aunt Xu came to our house, she quietly left us ten taels of silver. When you came back that day, I was so dazed that I forgot to tell you about it. ”
