Dong Rong hurriedly refused this matter under the pretext of being clean on the mountain, and in the end, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be unhappy, and said, "I asked Steward Zhang to buy more cotton huā and muslin, and my mother will also add two new bedding." ”

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she really rejoiced again, and said that there was no shortage of bedding at home, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of hope.

Dong Rong was afraid that if she sat for a while, Mrs. Cao had some ideas, and after a few words of gossip, she hurriedly said goodbye to Zhuzi. Mrs. Cao didn't know whether she felt that her home was deserted, or she missed the ease and ease when her daughter-in-law was by her side, so she took Dong Rong's hand and asked her to come back and walk around more.

Dong Rong responded with a smile, but her arm had goosebumps. It's not that she's hypocritical, if anyone suddenly gets thrown away from the cold winter of the ninth month, they will be so uncomfortable.

Anyway, silver is a good thing. Whether the little ghost will grind for silver, she has not seen it with her own eyes. However, Cao Pozi has now been completely defeated by her silver-clothed cannonballs.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but laugh, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never disappeared all the way. Murong Huaide loved the cunning appearance of a little mouse like her stealing oil and drinking, and stole a fragrant kiss when no one was around, which made Dong Rong shy and annoyed, and chased him around with his little fists.

The little couple laughed all the way back to the mountain before they remembered that they forgot to tell Sister-in-law Liu and others to help tomorrow, but now that there are many people in the family, they don't have to run in person, so they casually called a half-sized boy down the mountain, and soon brought a reply from Sister-in-law Liu and others, and it will arrive tomorrow.

The second morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Dong Rong got up and took Wen Niang to toss in the stove, and waited until Dong Ping and Silly Zhu were so hungry that they couldn't stand it and found the stove, a large plate of braised eggs, a large plate of salted water, and a large plate of braised bean curd before they were put on the table. Wen Niang was busy bringing out the rice in the pot, while Dong Rong was enthusiastic and beckoned her younger brother and Silly Zhu to be tasters. In her previous life, although she had learned the practice of lo-mei, she may not have made it for a long time because of the incomplete seasoning at home, and she was really a little apprehensive.

Soon, though, she was relieved. Dong Ping ate two braised eggs before pouring them out and praised them repeatedly, "Sister, how are these eggs cooked, they taste so good!" Zhuzi also ate rice on braised tofu, and occasionally looked up and asked, "Why does tofu smell meaty?" ”

Dong Rong laughed happily, a good start is half the success!

"Wen Niang, I'll make a list in a while, you give it to Steward Zhang, let him go to the city to buy it, and I'll try to make a few fresh dishes."

Wen Niang hurriedly responded, and Dong Rong sat down to eat together. Dong Ping guessed that his sister was preparing for the opening of the park, and there would be women at home to help for a while, so he smiled and said, "Sister, I will go to Mr. Feng's place with my brother-in-law to play for half a day when I am idle today, is it okay?" ”

Dong Rong liked that her brother was so understanding, and patted him with a smile and responded, "Mr. Feng, there are all medical books and herbs, I guess you won't like it." After a while, let Wen Niang pretend to eat two portions, and your brother-in-law will help Mr. Feng do some small work, and you can find a classmate from the nearby village to play. ”

Dong Ping originally wanted to make room for the women, but now he was naturally happy to hear his sister's arrangement, and nodded again and again and said yes.

Soon, the family had eaten, and Silly Zhu and Dong Ping went out with a basket full of snacks and braised vegetables. Steward Zhang took the order and prepared to enter the city, and all the teenagers wanted to join in the fun. But the carriage couldn't fit so many people, so in the end I had to guess the outcome and follow six of them, which was called helping to carry things.

In addition to being strict when teaching the rules, Steward Zhang usually turns a blind eye to the rules, after all, the master can't bear to treat these children harshly, so why should he be a villain in vain. So he sat in the carriage and let the six boys happily change to drive the carriage on the road.

Dong Rong walked around the inner and outer courtyards, and when she saw that she had nothing to do, she called Second Sister Cao to open the cloth and cut it together, but when she was about to put down the scissors, Sister-in-law Liu, Mei Huā and Silian arrived together.

The three of them were all quick-tempered, and their subordinates were quick, and they didn't even drink a sip of tea before they went straight to the needle and thread. When women get together, it is inevitable that the east and west families will talk about some gossip for a short time, the three of them are not in the same village, and all kinds of interesting things are gathered together and they can't finish talking, Dong Rong and Cao Erjie listened to it with relish.

Sister-in-law Liu occasionally looked up and saw Second Sister Cao's curious look, so she patted her head in annoyance, and said angrily, "We are eyeless, and all nonsense comes out." The second sister is still on the side, so I don't have to bring a good girl. ”

Mei Huā and Silian also blushed a little, and just finished talking about a certain widow Sichun, why did they forget that there was an unmarried girl in front of them.

Dong Rong was originally open-minded, and she didn't want to raise her sister-in-law too simple and ignorant of the world, so she waved her hand and smiled, "Just say it, can you still take it back?" Besides, the second sister will also get married in the future, and it is also beneficial to listen more to these parents, and it is time to endure hardships if you get your in-laws' family and study again. ”

Sister-in-law Liu thought about it, and nodded and said, "What the owner said is right, my mother wanted to lock me up in the house all day to do needlework, but when I got to my mother-in-law's house, I suffered a lot to learn the world." ”

"That's it, it's still the owner's open-mindedness!" Mei Huā had a sweet mouth and slapped a sycophant.

Chu Silian thought of her mother's family, half envious and half jealous, and said to Second Sister Cao, "Second Miss is still blessed, if I also have a good sister-in-law like the owner, why bother making such a home that I can't go back." ”

Second Sister Cao smiled and hugged her sister-in-law's arm, shouting, "You can't be greedy, my sister-in-law is already surnamed Cao!" ”

Everyone laughed, Dong Rong threw down the needle and thread in her hand and beckoned everyone to rest for a while, and at the end, she called Wen Niang to bring some food. Wen Niang understood, and brought a large plate of those boiled eggs and other things that were made in the morning.

Although the three sisters-in-law Liu said that because they helped cook in the orchard, the family income was much more than that of ordinary people, and they often saw some meat on the dinner table, but the good habit of diligence and thrift has been engraved into the bones of farmers.

So as soon as they saw that there was delicious food served, the three of them were familiar with the temper of the owner, and each of them was not polite, they reached out and ate it, and at the end of the day, they naturally praised it, "How do you make this dried tofu, it tastes as fragrant as meat." ”

Liu's sister-in-law's father-in-law loves to drink, and he always buys some snacks when he goes to the city on weekdays. At this time, she picked up the salt water and ate it raw, and when her mouth poured out of her free time, she smiled and said, "My family still has half a bag of huā fruits, if the owner is free, teach me how to do this, so that my father-in-law can send all the copper coins to the small shop in the city." ”

Dong Rong said with a smile while pouring tea, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have to cook something else in a while." If it tastes good, when the small restaurant in the orchard opens, it will make a signature dish. ”

Sister-in-law Liu's heart tightened when she heard this, all the signature dishes of the restaurant are secret recipes, and if she is not a close relative, she will not teach them at all, but she is a little too Meng Lang to speak like that.

Chu Silian looked at Mei Huā, who seemed to be only interested in eating, and didn't see Sister-in-law Liu's embarrassed face, but in the end she still opened her mouth and said, "It's good that the owner has opened a restaurant, and Uncle Liu won't have to go to the city to buy wine and food in the future, is this called 'fat water does not flow into outsiders'?" ”

Dong Rong saw the careful thoughts of the three of them, and liked Silian more and more cleverly and righteously, and answered with a smile, "It's not easy to open a restaurant, and everything else is easy to say, that is, the kitchen should put a few trustworthy people." At that time, none of you can escape, so you all signed a work contract for me to work. I will not treat you badly, 800 literary wages, ten taels of silver a year, and a set of silver at the end of the year, how about it? ”

Sister-in-law Liu and Mei Huā used to cook for the handymen, and their monthly wages were only a few hundred yuan, and they might be able to do it for a few days. At this time, I heard that the owner would hire them all year round in the future, and the salary would be generous, and the silver face would be rewarded, and I was so happy that I couldn't even speak.

But Chu Silian didn't think about it so much, she had made such a life and death drama in order to marry Yu Guisheng before, if it wasn't for Dong Rong's money and efforts to save her, Yu Guisheng would not have had any worries about her life, and she would definitely not be able to live. Even if she doesn't want to die, the broken-mouthed mother-in-law in Shili Eight Villages can drown her with saliva. Therefore, she swore in private that she would follow the owner for the rest of her life, and she would never go west if she wanted her to go east, and she would never fight a dog or a chicken. What's more, the owner also said that he would give silver and jewelry, and she immediately responded, "Okay, the owner will write a deed for a few years, and I will press my handprint." ”

Sister-in-law Liu and Mei Huā'er also woke up at this time, and they all happily echoed, "I also press my handprint, and the deed paper will be completed for many years." ”

Dong Rong quipped, "You better go back and discuss with your family, be careful that I kidnap you and sell you!" ”

Sister-in-law Liu, the three of them all giggled, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if the owner wants to sell, we will definitely choose a good family." ”

Dong Rong couldn't help but laugh too, and after thinking about it, she told her what she had been thinking about in the past few days. Sister-in-law Liu and Mei Huā'er were working in the stove before, and they were still in charge of lo-mei and stir-fried vegetables in the future, while Chu Silian was young and skillful and was in charge of dim sum and desserts, so that no matter whether the guests were men or women, they would have to be entertained to eat.

The three sisters-in-law Liu were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they couldn't wait for the small restaurant to be built immediately, so they could let go of their hands and feet. Coincidentally, Steward Zhang took the little servants into the city to buy them back, and Dong Rong took advantage of the high morale of a few people to withdraw the needlework and take them into the stove.

Seven or eight pork leg bones were directly smashed into two, thrown into a large iron pot and boiled with water, and after boiling, scooped up the blood foam and continued to gurgle. Several live chickens were slaughtered, dehaired, and divided into parts, and the pigs were washed and peeled and cut into small pieces, and then all put into another hot water pot to blanch the blood and water, and put them out for later use.

Dong Rong called Sister-in-law Liu and others to gather around her, and then instructed Wen Niang to move all the seasoning jars at home, plus the spices bought back by Steward Zhang, to the board. Relying on her memory, her subordinates quickly grabbed a handful here and a few there, and soon filled a small cloth bag. At the end, I boiled a large bowl of hot oil, poured all the chopped green onions and ginger into the bone broth pot, and finally added some frosting, rice wine, soy sauce and salt, and continued to boil until the pot exuded a rich aroma, and then threw the chicken and pig into the water...

(Finally, two shifts, there are two bones in the back that hurt so much, I don't know if it's a relationship between bending over for a long time.) I really want to lie in the hot quilt, and I can't get up for ten days and a half. Still persevere, come on, everyone go to bed early, good night. ）
