Chapter 42: A Bowl of Tofu

Zhao Qingshan thought of his mother, wife and children at home, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saluted again, and then trotted down the mountain. Such a big bowl of meat, bring it back earlier and let the daughter-in-law put some potatoes back to the pot, which is enough for the whole family to have a fragrant mouth.

The rest of the handymen were also thinking like this, and after taking the meat bowl and thanking them again and again, they ran away one after another.

Dong Rong is not a stingy person, each handyman has a big bowl of Shangjiaoer, but she made a big pot of braised pork, even if she divides more than a dozen bowls, there is still a small half left. She thought for a moment and put a small table in the shade of the tree, then invited the little medicine boy to sit down and opened a small table for him alone.

The little medicine boy was already so hungry that he couldn't help it, and turned his head to see that the old and young masters had no intention of stopping him, so he sat down and feasted, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the oily corners of his mouth. Dong Rong took pity on him for selling himself as a servant at a young age, and raised his hand and gave him an extra spoonful of meat. In the end, he put all the remaining braised pork into a small clay pot, wrapped a dozen fried small yellow croaker, and put them all into a basket.

Although Silly Zhu was eating and drinking with the master, the corner of his eye kept paying attention to his daughter-in-law's movements, and when he saw this, he asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Dong Rong said with a smile, "I'll go back to the village to send some meat dishes to my father and second sister, you can accompany Uncle Feng to gossip, and I'll be back soon." ”

Silly Zhu answered, got up and sent her to the intersection, and turned around when he saw her go down the mountain and walk away.

Feng Lao took a sip of wine and praised again, "This Dong family is kind-hearted and well-behaved, she is really a good woman in IKEA." I just don't know how Dong Xiucai's old-fashioned old taught such a good daughter? ”

Silly Zhu unconsciously raised his chin, looked like he was honored, and said with a smile, "Brother Ping'er is also a good character, and he studies hard, so he may really be a champion in the future." ”

There were no outsiders present, so the master and apprentice naturally had no scruples, and they talked and laughed comfortably while eating and drinking, which was rare and joyful.

Qingfeng ate most of the food in one go, and when he saw that there was still half of the braised pork in the big bowl, he thought carefully. He rolled his eyes, picked up the big bowl to avoid the eyes of the two masters, ran to the back of the hut lightly, and whispered to the quiet woods, "Oh, this braised pork is so fragrant, I can't find anything more delicious than this all over the world..."

He was triumphantly showing off, when out of nowhere, a gust of thief wind blew, raising the sand and earth to blind his eyes. He quickly crouched down and put down the meat bowl and cursed and kneaded it, until he finally opened his eyes to find that the clay plate beside him was empty.

"Ah, my flesh!" Qingfeng hugged the empty bowl and regretted it in his heart, how could he forget that he had done a light job. Now it's okay, but he suffered a big loss if he didn't show it, and he angrily suppressed his throat and shouted: "Jiayi, you return my meat." This is my lady's reward, you meat thief! I'm going to sue Mr. SΓΉ and Mr. Go, you bully me! ”

Not far away, under the dense bushes, a young man in dark green clothes and pants was crossing Erlang's legs, licking his lips and savoring the wonderful taste of Fang Cai, and finally picking his ears slowly, not taking the threat of the little medicine boy to heart at all. He had long coveted this good dish cooked by his wife, and last time he was so hungry in the small courtyard outside the city that he was almost discovered by the Dong family's scholar. Today, Qingfeng took the initiative to send it to him, how could he let it go?

Feng Lao and Murong Huaide's master and apprentice heard the little boy's shouting, and they probably laughed when they guessed what was going on. Feng Lao shouted Qingfeng over, stretched out his hand and pushed the meat bowl on the table in front of him and said with a smile, "You, every time you tease Jia Yi, you can't succeed, and you always don't have a long memory." ”

Qingfeng blushed a little and defended, "He relies on martial arts and always cheats. After speaking, he didn't dare to delay the master's conversation, and after saluting and thanking him, he went down with the meat bowl. This time, he firmly held the bowl in his arms, ate it cleanly, and finally burped with satisfaction, and in the future, he must ask Feng Laoduo to come to the mountains for a walk, and then he can follow with more delicious food.

didn't mention how the greedy little medicine boy calculated, only said that Dong Rong returned to Cao's house with the basket. Mrs. Cao went out in the morning to gossip with the old ladies in the village, and gained countless envy and jealousy, and she was in a good mood. So at lunchtime, it was rare to be generous, stewed an extra bowl of tofu, and added more than a dozen slices of fatty meat to it. A family of three was spreading out a large piece of pancakes, planning to roll tofu to start the meal, but Dong Rong suddenly pushed the door and walked in.

Cao Pozi panicked, reached out and took the pottery bowl and stuffed it under the placket. Xia Japan was wearing thin, and the tofu had just come out of the pot, so hot that she grinned her teeth, but she insisted on refusing to take it out, for fear that her daughter-in-law would stay to eat, and the good meat slices would fill the belly of this outsider.

Old man Cao frowned in annoyance, he really hated the old woman's stingy temper. Second Sister Cao was also blushing with shame, she wanted to persuade a few words and it was not good to dismantle her mother's platform, so she hurriedly got up and greeted her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, why did you come back at this time?" It's hot, I'll get you water to wash your face. ”

Dong Rong had already seen Mrs. Cao's small movements in her eyes, she was really angry and funny in her heart, so she pretended not to know at all and pulled her sister-in-law with a smile and said, "Second sister, don't be busy, but it's only a few miles away, and I don't feel hot." ”

Second Sister Cao retracted her footsteps in a daze, and then secretly glanced at the old lady with a painful face, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

Cao Pozi's back molars were sour, and her belly was burned unconscious. She lowered her head and sniffed as if there was a burnt aroma, so she became more and more afraid, and hurriedly threw away the pottery bowl and quickly lifted her clothes to check, and felt that it was in vain. It was when he hesitated, Old Man Cao couldn't look at the old woman sadly, so he coughed dryly twice and said, "Why is Sister Rong carrying the basket?" But there is a shortage of vegetables and food on the mountain, so let your mother pack more for you and bring it back for a while. ”

Mrs. Cao's eyes immediately widened and she wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but unfortunately she was glared back fiercely by Old Man Cao.

Dong Rong was just angry for a while, and took the opportunity to punish Mrs. Cao a little, but she didn't want to do too much to dislike her father-in-law and sister-in-law. So she hurriedly accepted it when she saw it, lifted the curtain on the basket and brought out the meat bowl and the plate with the small yellow croaker, and said with a smile, "Daddy Xie is worried about me and the pillar, and there is no shortage of food on the mountain for the time being." However, I made two good dishes today, and I specially sent them back for my father and second sister to taste fresh. ”

As soon as Cao Pozi heard this, she hurriedly stretched her head and looked at the table, but as soon as the big bowl of braised pork and golden fried fish came into her eyes, she couldn't pull it out at all. She got up happily and wanted to hug the bowl to her side, but she didn't want to forget that there was a tofu bowl hidden under her clothes. As a result, with a bang, the tofu bowl fell to the ground and shattered, and the soup splashed everywhere.

Dong Rong frowned, stepped forward to help pick up the pottery bowl, and asked, "Why did my mother put such a hot tofu bowl on her belly, what if it was burned?" ”

Old man Cao looked at the meat bowl on the table, and then at the broken tofu on the ground, he was so ashamed that he couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into. As someone else's in-laws, they are reluctant to have a bowl of tofu, but their daughters-in-law are extremely filial, and they have to send good food back.

Second Sister Cao's face was so red that she could drip blood, and she refused to help her mother play a round again.

However, Mrs. Cao really deserves to be a character whose thickness is comparable to that of the city wall, she insisted on hugging the meat bowl and fried fish in front of her, and then stretched out her foot and kicked the broken pottery bowl under the table, and then pretended that nothing had happened and said, "It's rare that you still know that you have in-laws and sisters at home, remember to send more delicious food back in the future." As the old saying goes, the daughter-in-law who steals food will be struck by thunder and thunder, and I am also for your good. ”

Dong Rong pursed her lips and reluctantly suppressed the sullen breath in her chest. She rolled her eyes fiercely, and secretly swore that she would rather thunder and thunder than give this old woman half a piece of meat again.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law did not refute, Mrs. Cao consciously found a little bit of a posture to be a mother-in-law, and pondered a few more reprimands, but she didn't want the courtyard door to be vigorously pushed open at this time.

"Mother, you are about to take a break from the little goblin of the Dong family. The second dog's house next door to my house is eating a big bowl of meat, and I heard that it was the little fox who rewarded it. You said that she had meat for outsiders to eat, but we didn't see a piece of it in our own house, this dead girl who deserves to suffer from the plague..."

Sister Cao pulled her two dirty, skinny sons, followed by the thief-headed Chen Lao'er, and a family of four broke in arrogantly. Sister Cao is also a person with bad eyes, so she scolded like this and walked to the table to see Dong Rong sneering. She was immediately shocked, but then she felt that she had taken advantage of it, so she was about to say a few hard words on her neck.

It's a pity that Dong Rong was impatient to listen, reached out and tapped the dishes on the table, and then left without saying a word.

"Sister, you are really..."Second Sister Cao stomped her feet angrily, trotted forward and grabbed her sister-in-law to send her out.

Dong Rong is not a person who likes to be angry, and when she left the hospital, she saw that her sister-in-law's tears were about to fall, so she patted her hand and smiled, "Second sister, don't think too much, sister-in-law knows your thoughts." In the future, if you have time to go up the mountain to play, my sister-in-law will give you a good meal. ”

When Second Sister Cao heard this, her heart felt even more ashamed, and her tears couldn't help but crackle anymore and fell. She sobbed and said, "Sister-in-law, our mother and eldest sister are not bad, it's just... Hey, you and my brother will live a good life in the future, and you don't have to worry about your family all the time. ”

Dong Rong smiled faintly, raised her hand to touch her head, and then carried the basket out of the village.

Second Sister Cao wiped away her tears and returned to the yard unhappy. Sister Cao is complaining that Mrs. Cao didn't give her a wake-up call in advance, knowing that she is still planning to tie up her brother and daughter-in-law, and then send her own man to the orchard to take care of it. It's good now, I was caught stealing things yesterday, and I was blocked by scolding people today.

When Mrs. Cao saw that her daughter-in-law was gone, she was distressed about the broken pottery bowl, she bent under the table and shouted to her little daughter while picking up the pieces, "Second sister, go get a broom!" It's all to blame on the little vixen, when it is not good, just in time for the meal. A good bowl of tofu is a filial piety to the landowner! ”

Second Sister Cao heard that the old lady was not only not a little ashamed, but she was still so unreasonable, she also lost her temper, turned around and refused to come out. ZM
