The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...

Time flies, in a blink of an eye to the tenth day of the first month, take the beans to the old king, the old king's head did not take two days to finish, come to inform Hui Niang to take it, there is too much tofu, he can't take it alone, and he is so old, the tofu is tender, I am afraid that it will be broken.

So he came to the door empty-handed, Hui Niang didn't blame him, and Fan Ming and Feng San said that not long after, a few members of the family went to Lao Wangtou's house to get the finished tofu back, and by the way, he gave Lao Wangtou the salary for making tofu, and Lao Wangtou received the money, not to mention how happy he was.

Curiously asked Hui Niang what she wanted so much tofu for, worried that she couldn't finish making so much tofu, and it would be good to waste it then, although this bean was not valuable, but it shouldn't be wasted, Hui Niang heard the old king's worry, looked at the white tofu and smiled: "I plan to make moldy tofu." ”

The old king didn't know what this moldy tofu was for, and it wasn't something that could be eaten when he heard the name, so he didn't ask again, and happily sent Hui Niang and his party away.

Fan Ming and Feng San both knew that Hui Niang had always had an idea, and no one asked much, thinking that it would not be long before they could solve their doubts, so Hui Niang couldn't help but look at them a few more times. When she got home, Hui Niang instructed Feng San and his wife to open all the tofu they took back from Lao Wangtou.

Fan Ming cleaned all the knives in the kitchen, and then took them, after the tofu was put away, Hui Niang asked Feng San to carry a few handfuls of straw over, and taught Aunt Qi and Fan Ming to use a knife to turn the tofu made by Lao Wangtou into square pieces, and they were about to be large.

Fan Ming was puzzled: "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing with this tofu turned into this small piece?" As he spoke, his hand shook, and a piece of tofu was cut by Fan Ming. Aunt Qi carefully cut the tofu, and also pricked up her ears to listen, Hui Niang glared at Fan Ming, snatched the knife in his hand and said, "This moldy tofu has to be cut into such small pieces first." In case of mold and fermentation in the back. ”

Hui Niang has long forgotten the specific principle, but when she was a child, her mother often did this, so Hui Niang still remembers this step.

This moldy tofu is also divided into three colors, cyan, red, and the most primitive white, green mold tofu refers to stinky moldy tofu. The red moldy tofu is made by adding red yeast rice to make it a common red color. You don't need to add anything to the white moldy tofu, just keep the original color, and this white moldy tofu is much simpler than the other two.

This red moldy tofu, although Hui Niang wants to make it. However, if there is no red yeast rice, it is naturally impossible to make it, so I will make this common white moldy tofu.

Can you still eat this mold? Fan Ming asked, the boss with a pair of eyes looked at Hui Niang, Hui Niang glanced at him with disgust, and explained with a smile. Fan Ming seemed to understand when he heard it, and he wanted to cut it again, but Hui Niang didn't let him. Said: "Ah Ming, after you wait for Uncle Feng to bring the straw, cover the cut tofu with straw, and I'll tell you more about it later." ”

In the countryside this makes moldy tofu. When you want to make this fresh tofu moldy, you use straw. A layer of straw, a layer of tofu, layer by layer, and a quilt or something like a quilt on the top, usually in about a week, mold will grow.

The white moldy tofu has a long white mold. Pure white mold, it looks very beautiful, but this is only a few people think so, as far as Hui Niang is concerned, the mold that grows from the moldy tofu, she has goosebumps when she sees it.

But behind this, she definitely didn't touch it, she was lazy directly, and taught Aunt Qi well, Aunt Qi listened to it on the side, and secretly said that this method was novel, and she didn't know that this tofu could be like this.

Feng San brought the straw, Hui Niang and Aunt Qi were responsible for turning the tofu into small pieces, Fan Ming and Feng San were responsible for covering the tofu with quilts, and they were busy in an orderly manner, Miao Miao was accompanied by Xiaoxue, and the two of them went outside to play at this time, and Miao Miao would not come over to make trouble.

At the same time, Camellia Fan, who had lived in Old Man Fan's house for several days, also told Old Man Fan that she was going to leave tomorrow, Old Man Fan was surprised, and said with some reluctance in his heart: "Camellia, you have to go back in a few days, don't you plan to stay for a few more days?" ”

In the past few days, Fan Camellia also finished what she didn't say with Old Man Fan last time, and Old Man Fan knew that Fan Camellia was not going to succeed Fan Shaoxuan and Fan Shaoliang brothers, and he was relieved, in the end, Old Man Fan still didn't want to have trouble with Fan Camellia in his heart, after all, Fan Camellia was also his sister, and she was also a fellow mother.

"No, there's a lot going on at home? Otherwise, big brother, there is no farming at this time, otherwise you can go to my house with me tomorrow to have a look. Fan Camellia hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

Although Old Man Fan didn't ask before, Fan Camellia knew that Old Man Fan wanted to know, otherwise Old Man Fan would not have thought of himself as that kind of person because of Li's provocative words, so he was condemned to death in his heart.

"Camellia, this... It's not right, you also know that your eldest brother is a farmer, if I go to your house, won't it be a shame for you? Don't go, don't go. Old man Fan didn't have the confidence to say that he could take it, so as soon as Fan Camellia mentioned this request, he immediately refused.

Besides, Camellia is surrounded by servants, Old Man Fan doesn't have to think about it to know that the so-called Qian Mansion should be a place where identity is very important, that is where countrymen like him go, I have to say that in this regard, Old Man Fan is a very self-aware person, and he doesn't want to use Fan Camellia's identity to climb any high branches and be a rich person.

"No, big brother, you can rest assured, right? In the early years, maybe I couldn't call the shots, but now it's different, besides, you are my eldest brother, and you are not an outsider, we are still the same as back then, we are brothers and sisters with a good relationship, how can I dislike you, as for others, then I don't have the burden to dare to say about you. Fan Camellia had some expectation on her face.

"Besides, this trip will allow Shaoxuan and Shaoliang to go to the city to see the world, and be a promising person in the future."

When Fan Camellia said this, Old Man Fan was really a little moved, thought about it for a long time in his heart, and said: "Then it's done, I'll agree to go, but your sister-in-law and second brother are them." "If he goes to the Camellia family with his two eldest grandsons, what should Fan Jimin think? and Li's mother-in-law, it is estimated that she will also make a fuss.

In fact, it's good to see the next world, maybe the two grandchildren will grow up to be sensible, Old Man Fan thought in his heart.

"This is naturally gone, from Nanye Village to Yuzhou, not far. This back and forth is only a few days of work, and there is nothing major to delay. Fan Camellia is right. How could she not understand Old Man Fan's worries, not to mention the two elder brothers, the Li family and the Jiang family will definitely have a whisper behind their backs.

The more Fan Camellia looked like this, the more anxious Qing Yao became, she didn't expect that the old lady still wanted a few uncles and second uncles to go to Yuzhou, and they all had to go, so there was no trouble on the way?

"Okay, I'll ask the second brother later." Old man Fan said slowly, if it weren't for the two grandsons. He didn't want to go either.

"Big brother, it's good if you decide, but I think I'm going to go. It's better for everyone to go together, and a few nephews and nieces also followed, just taking advantage of this effort, everyone went to the city for a long time, and don't always quarrel about trivial things in the future. Fan Camellia meant something.

Old man Fan naturally has no opinion. The old face was red by Fan Camellia's words, and after talking to Fan Camellia, Old Man Fan went to Fan Jimin to talk about this matter, and conveyed the meaning of Fan Camellia's words to Fan Jimin by the way, Fan Jimin was naturally overjoyed when he heard it, and sighed: "Originally, I also wanted to go to the city to see the world." This is the light of the camellia, and this requirement can be realized. ”

Old man Fan smiled lightly and was silent, and Jiang didn't dare to believe it. Old man Chao Fan asked, "Big brother, does Camellia mean that you want us to go?" ”

Old man Fan nodded, "This is natural, you discuss it first." I'll go back first, if I'm ready. Come to my house tomorrow and it will be done. ”

There are still a few sons and daughters-in-law who have not been notified, and Old Man Fan naturally can't stay anymore, and he wants to tell his sons the news immediately.

"Okay, big brother, you go back first, and when we discuss it, then go over to your place and talk to Camellia about this." Fan Jimin said.

Old man Fan was worried that Fan Jimin's daughters-in-law would make trouble when the time came, so he whispered a few words of advice to Fan Jimin and left.

Fan Jimin thought deeply about Old Man Fan's words, and Jiang urged: "Boss, what did the eldest brother say to you?" ”

Fan Jimin glanced at the Jiang family, didn't speak, and was still thinking in his heart.

After leaving, Old Man Fan told his sons about this matter one by one, and asked them to think about it for themselves before making a decision, after all, there was still a day to go.

When Old Man Fan came to the door, Fan Ming's family was busy, and when they heard someone knocking on the door outside, Feng San immediately came out, and when he opened the door and saw that it was Old Man Fan, Feng San immediately called Fan Ming out.

Hearing Feng San's shout, Fan Ming came out, and when he saw that it was Old Man Fan, he opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, are you here?" What's the matter? ”

Old man Fan smiled and sold a pass, "Third child, this is naturally a good thing?" ”

"What's the good thing?" Fan Ming didn't understand what Old Man Fan meant.

Old man Fan told Fan Ming about Fan Camellia and letting these relatives in her family follow her to Yuzhou to live for a few days, Fan Ming thought about it and said, "Dad, I have to discuss this with my daughter-in-law, and let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Fan Ming didn't have much interest in going to Yuzhou, so he casually perfunctory a few words to Old Man Fan, and Old Man Fan nodded, "You and your daughter-in-law have a good discussion on this matter, and take this opportunity to go outside to have fun and see the world." Old man Fan reminded.

"Okay, I'll talk to my daughter-in-law when I'm done." Fan Ming promised to do it now, and it didn't take long to forget about it.

As soon as Old Man Fan left, Fan Ming hurriedly went into the house again, Hui Niang raised her eyes and saw that Fan Ming was back, and asked him who was coming, Fan Ming said: "It's nothing, just my father came over." ”

Hui Niang said "oh", did not answer again, and in the evening, she finally finished these tofus, covered them with thick straw, and covered them with several layers of unwanted thick cotton clothes. Finally busy, Hui Niang said that this tofu has to be left for about seven or eight days to grow mold, during which do not open it, so as not to see the air, this mold will grow unevenly.

After being busy, a few people cleaned up the house, Hui Niang and Aunt Qi simply made dinner, cleaned up, and the family of three went upstairs to rest.

Miao Miao played for a day, but she was tired, in Fan Ming's arms, her head was straight, Fan Ming took off Miao Miao's coat funny, put her on the bed and fell asleep, and after covering the quilt, Fan Ming turned off the lights and went out of the house.

When Fan Ming returned to the house, Hui Niang was already lying on the bed and drowsy, but Fan Ming didn't come back, and Hui Niang hadn't fallen asleep yet, waiting for the lights to go out. Fan Ming was lying on the bed, and suddenly remembered what Old Man Fan had said to him in the morning.

asked Hui Niang if they wanted to follow Fan Camellia's house, Yuzhou City, Hui Niang heard that she could follow Fan Camellia to Yuzhou, and suddenly came to her senses, and her drowsiness was gone for a moment, and asked Fan Ming what was going on.

Yuzhou, it's far away when you hear it, as Hui Niang, who has been holding back in Nanye Village for a long time. I don't want to go outside to have fun, I've been here for so long, and I've never been anywhere to play.

Fan Ming recounted what Old Man Fan said. Then Hui Niang said: "Then let's go, just to see what is the difference between Yuzhou and us, just to see it." ”

Hui Niang was full of interest, talking about all kinds of plans for where she went, and Fan Ming listened and listened. Suddenly, I realized that maybe it would be a good thing to go.

The couple whispered that it was very late, and then they fell asleep slowly.

Early in the morning of the second day, Hui Niang hurriedly got up to pack up her things, silver, clothes, and everything that should be prepared. Fan Ming was woken up by the sound of turning things, and when he woke up, he saw Hui Niang busy for the first time, and he was angry and funny.

He also thought that his daughter-in-law was telling a joke last night. Who knew that I really got up so early to pack my things, and I kept rummaging, and I kept muttering.

Fan Ming got dressed and stood quietly behind Hui Niang watching her busy, Hui Niang was startled by Fan Ming standing behind her. patted his chest and said, "Ah Ming, you're up." Why don't you make a sound, you really want to scare me to death. ”

Fan Ming was innocent: "Daughter-in-law, I've been standing here for a long time, but you didn't notice me." ”

Hui Niang was speechless, asked Fan Ming to stand aside, checked the things she had packed, and made sure that nothing was missing, so she wrapped them up. By the time Hui Niang cleaned up, Fan Ming had already called Miao Miao up and told her that she was going to follow her aunt to her house today, and the little girl was very happy that she could finally go out to play.

After breakfast, Hui Niang arranged the affairs of the family, and left a few taels of silver for Aunt Qi, because she was not sure if she could come back on the day of the Lantern Festival, and was afraid that their family would not have the money to buy things for the festival during the festival, so she kept it.

Aunt Qi refused to accept it no matter what she said, saying that their family had monthly money and could use it to buy it, and besides, their family of three couldn't eat anything, Hui Niang couldn't do it, so she had to let Aunt Qi collect it first, what if there were other things? It's better to keep it for emergency use, and if it's useless, I'll give it to her when I come back.

There is also the moldy tofu, Hui Niang naturally did not forget to tell Aunt Qi, she is not at home, don't move first, it doesn't matter if the moldy tofu is left for a few more days, it doesn't matter if the moldy tofu grows mold for a few more days, this Hui Niang is almost done, Fan Ming has not finished talking to Feng San.

By the time Fan Ming finished speaking, it was not too early, and the family of three went to the old mansion first, and Feng San's family stood at the door and watched Hui Niang's family go home until they couldn't see anyone.

When they arrived at Fan's house, Fan Ming's family saw seven or eight carriages parked outside the courtyard, waiting outside, the hall was also full of people, and everyone in the Fan family had already come, and Fan Jimin's family came the earliest, followed by Fan Lin's family, then Fan Jiang's family, and then Fan Lei, Fan Ming's family came the latest.

For this reason, several of Fan Jimin's daughters-in-law still muttered behind their backs for a long time, "I came so late today, and I didn't look at what day it was, I really didn't take my aunt in my eyes at all." ”

"That is, we are going to my aunt's house, not moving, and we are carrying such a big burden, those who know think that they are going to relatives, and those who don't know think that they are still the one who is in trouble?"

Hui Niang thought it was a mad dog barking, and secretly said that you will laugh as much as you like at this time, there will always be times when you cry, and then the family of three found a place to sit down.

Jiang heard a few daughters-in-law muttering behind their backs, coughed, and swept a few sharp glances in their eyes, and the Yu family didn't dare to speak immediately, a few of them could come, and they were guaranteed by their father-in-law Fan Jimin, along the way, no matter what happened, they couldn't chew their tongues behind their backs, otherwise they would go home, and the family would not go.

Fan Jimin asked for this, and he also listened to what Old Man Fan said yesterday, and now the identity of Camellia is different, they have a low status as elder brothers, and they can't help, but at least they must do a good job behind their backs Don't let others look down on them.

That's why Fan Jimin restrained a few daughters-in-law, of course, a few sons are no exception, Old Man Fan saw that people were almost here, opened his mouth and told a few words, and said a lot of things that these juniors in the family should pay attention to, you have to keep your duty, in short, it is similar to what Fan Jimin said to several daughters-in-law.

"I've said everything I should say, all of you are such big people, you also have brains, after going to your aunt's house, what to say and what not to say, pay attention to me, and this is a long way, don't say that you can't bear the hardships of riding in a carriage at every turn, and if anyone complains at that time, come back alone." Old man Fan's words were specifically aimed at the Li family.

Of course, it was also specially said to a few daughters-in-law and nephews, Fan Camellia was silent when she listened, and she was not moved in her heart It was fake, but she didn't expect Old Man Fan to say this, although this word cannot cure the root cause, but it can also have a deterrent effect.

Listening to Old Man Fan's words, everyone's faces were different, Hui Niang stared at everyone present, and then lowered her head. Anyway, it's good to be able to go outside, and Hui Niang, who should be prepared, is ready, so naturally she is not afraid of these.

After Old Man Fan's words were finished, Li's face turned red and white, and he scolded Old Man Fan half to death in his heart.

This damn old man pointed at her so openly, deliberately making her faceless, but Li couldn't find a rebuttal, so he could only stare dryly on the side.
