Chapter 110: It's Important to Live Happily (Fourth Watch)
After being busy, seeing that breakfast was ready, the cuckoo said to Huang Que'er: "Sister, let's go to the back and have a look." To see if the tofu is ready, by the way, I called my father and mother to come back for breakfast. β
Huang Que'er said, "I'm not going." I soaked my dad and the clothes we had changed into yesterday. You take the oriole with you. Put some of the venison jerky and spiced braised peanuts for my aunt. β
The cuckoo hurriedly agreed, and went to the kitchen to find a bowl.
She carried a small basket and Huang Li to the courtyard of her aunt's house, and saw a long bench in the open space in front of the kitchen, on which three square boxes were separated by long wooden strips. Two of the boxes were topped with a square plank, and on the last one was a small table, which was turned on all fours. A bluestone slab was pressed on the wooden board and a bluestone slab on the table.
This is pressing tofu.
Under the weight of the stone slabs, clear yellowish water flows from the three squares, flowing down the four sides of the slabs, like a waterfall, and then into the gutter in front of the kitchen.
Huang Laoshi and Ren Sanhe were standing in front of the board and watching, talking as they spoke.
And Lin Chun and Jiu'er probably just finished their martial arts practice, and each brought a big bowl of tofu flowers and squatted under the eaves to drink. Both of them were sweating profusely, and they didn't know if they were practicing martial arts or drinking tofu flowers.
Huang Li was surprised when he saw the new situation of the tofu press, threw away the cuckoo, and shouted happily: "Dad, is the tofu ready?" We also made breakfast. My second sister and I are here to call you and your mother home for breakfast. β
The cuckoo was amused when he heard it.
The little girl gave the credit for making breakfast to "us", and of course she was one of "us".
The honest father did not hesitate to believe it, and boasted with a smile: "My daughter is capable." Ready for breakfast so quickly? β
Every time Huang Li is coquettish with his honest father. The cuckoos were embarrassed to approach, and they were tired of it. I got goosebumps when I heard it.
She greeted Ren Sanhe and the others.
Ren Sanhe saw her carrying the basket and asked what it was.
The cuckoo said, "I have made venison and roe deer meat into jerky." There are also braised peanuts. Send some to my aunt and uncle to taste. β
Aunt Feng Mingying came out of the kitchen, and when she heard this, she said: "It's not that we don't have meat at home, if you want to eat jerky, I can just eat my own kang." You just got that point, it's so easy to do, and what are you sending it for? β
Jiu'er stepped forward, took the basket and said with a smile: "Master, Sister Cuckoo's cooking tastes different." If you're afraid that she'll suffer, just give her more when you're done. I'll try this first to see if it tastes good. β
While speaking. At one side, he put the basket under the eaves of the porch, directly reached out and picked up a piece of dried meat, put it in his mouth, and grabbed a few peanuts and peeled them.
Lin Chun also stepped forward and asked, "Is it delicious?" No need to ask if it's delicious. β
He asked and answered himself, and said that Ren Sanhe and Huang Laoshi both laughed.
Ren Sanhe said: "Jiu'er is right. The cuckoo must be delicious. We ate what she made first, and then we made it for her. "Squat down and eat.
Feng Mingying hurriedly said: "Don't rob it!" Wait for me to bring my chopsticks. β
When she came out with a few pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen, those people had already eaten a few pieces, and praised them while eating.
The things he made were praised, and the cuckoo was inevitably a little proud.
Ren Sanhe looked at the smiling little girl. There is an apron tied around his waist, a coarse cloth plain dress, a double bun on his head, and no ornaments. I choked in my heart, and suddenly felt that the delicious jerky became tasteless.
Seeing his expression, the cuckoo paused, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't taste right?" β
The tone was very nervous.
Ren Sanhe shook his head. smiled: "It tastes good." It's weird, why are you upside down. Does it taste different? This is what your aunt taught you, right? β
The cuckoo suddenly opened up a million pores all over his body, and his eyes bent with a smile. Pretending to be profound: "This is the secret!" The secret of the Huang family! No, it's my cuckoo's secret. Can't say. β
Lin Chun and Jiu'er laughed together when they heard this.
The cuckoo was not ashamed, and asked again: "Little uncle, when will this dried tofu be pressed?" I'm waiting to cook the spiced tofu. The seasonings are all ready - everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! Just wait and see, the spiced dried tofu I cooked must be extraordinary, absolutely superb! β
Ren Sanhe saw her smile bright and bright, like the morning glow shooting out from behind the mountain peaks in the east, breaking through all darkness and morning fog, smiling proudly, and his mood couldn't help but be cheerful.
Isn't she so happy better than anything else?
He smiled and said, "Tofu will be ready soon." Dried tofu will have to wait a while. β
The cuckoo hurriedly said, "Don't worry. Dry tofu should be pressed for a longer period of time. Pressed tightly and firmly, the board is hard and hard, and the bite is only strong when you eat it in your mouth; If it's too fluffy, it's easy to absorb the flavor, but it's also easy to fall apart. β
Ren Sanhe listened to her talk about cooking, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, he said, "You made a mistake this morning." β
He was talking about the cuckoo's practice.
The cuckoo was embarrassed and sneered: "Little uncle, this day ...... Strangely cold. I can't get up in the morning! Wait for the beginning of spring, and when spring begins, I will continue to practice. β
Ren Sanhe said with a face: "Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets!" You are so attentive to everything you do, why don't you just pay attention to it? At the beginning, you begged me, saying that you wanted to learn martial arts. I said that you can't learn anything else, only teach light skills. Who knew that even this would have to be abandoned halfway. If you want to beg me to do something in the future, don't think I'll agree! β
The cuckoo nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." I said I wanted to learn martial arts. I'll do it tomorrow morning. It must not be abandoned halfway. I also know that my uncle is doing it for my good. Not to mention anything else, if you meet a tiger in the mountains, you can run away with light skills. β
In fact, she already regretted it in her heart, why was she greedy for novelty in the first place?
Jiu'er and Lin Chun laughed when they heard it.
Ren Sanhe also smiled helplessly.
At this time, Feng Shi came out with a bowl and said to the cuckoo: "Cuckoo, come, drink a bowl of tofu while it's hot." My mother put aside your favorite fried minced meat with capers, as well as dried shrimp. β
The cuckoo was very happy to hear this, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and said, "I said why didn't I hear the voice of the yellow bird, it turned out that I slipped into the kitchen to eat something delicious." Don't call me a word. It's still my mother's best for me. I hurt that girl in vain. β
Feng said with a smile: "She, she only remembered others when she was full." β
The honest father defended the little girl and said: "Huang Li is not small. She thought you were going to eat it, so she went herself. She's left it to herself. β
The cuckoo scooped a sip of bean curd and drank it, and then said, "I won't tell my father." Daddy's heart is biased to the armpits. Except for the little girl, I can't see anyone else in my eyes. β
The honest father was very uneasy when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Cuckoo, Dad loves you the most, how can you be biased?" Huang Li is not small, I will hug her more. When you were a child, your father loved you too. What do you call Dad for, Dad never said anything......"
Looking at his anxious look, the cuckoo burst out laughing.
Ren Sanhe, Feng Mingying and others also snickered.
Feng Shi saw that he was nagging and confessing, and shouted angrily: "The girl is joking with you, you can't hear it, it's as verbose as a girl." Don't talk about it, unpack the baggage. He carried the large wooden barrel to his side and prepared to fill it with tofu.
Everyone was busy unpacking and picking up tofu, while Jiu'er and Lin Chun were leaving.
Jiu'er suddenly remembered something and said to Du Juan: "Du Juan, I brought sesame cake for you to eat." As he spoke, he turned to Feng Mingying and said, "Master, what about the burden I gave you?" β
Feng Mingying smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I won't give it to the cuckoo?" β
Jiu'er was embarrassed and grinned, "No." I'll give it to the cuckoo! β
The cuckoo hurriedly said: "My family also makes sesame candy." The godmother bothered to send it again. β
Jiu'er waved his hand and said, "It's different." This one is not the same as sesame candy. β
Lin Chun explained for him: "This sesame crisp is made of sesame seeds. β
When Feng Mingying came over with a small baggage, he untied it, and there was a delicate small wooden box inside, or a wooden boxβthe carpenter's family is convenientβand there was a layer of oiled paper inside, and two rows of sesame slices were neatly stacked.
The cuckoo's first reaction was: What a loser!
Sure enough, it is all made of sesame seeds, and it is very thin and thin square slices, which is tempting to look at.
As for the kind that the cuckoo said, the main ingredient is fried rice, and then a little sesame seeds and peanuts are mixed to make "sesame candy" or "peanut candy". All use sesame seeds or peanuts mixed with syrup to make this kind of "crisp", which was common in the previous life of cuckoos; In this life, she feels that she is too loser.
Seeing her staring, Jiu'er urged, "You taste it, it's not delicious." β
The cuckoo rolled up a thin slice and said with a smile: "Do you still need to taste this?" It's definitely delicious. β
I put it in my mouth and took a bite gently, it was crispy, not sticking to my teeth at all, and the sesame fragrance was extraordinarily strong.
She praised it a few more times and called out to the others to taste it.
At this time, Huang Li rushed over from the side and directly held the box in his arms.
The cuckoo said with a heavy face: "Put it down!" What does this look like? β
This girl's problem with food protection has never been changed. It's okay at home, but it's ugly outside.
Huang Li saw her face, hurriedly put down the box, and said flatteringly: "Second sister, I'll eat a small piece." I'm about to have breakfast, and I can't eat too much. Not good for the body. β
The cuckoo was angry and funny: "Isn't this the end!" You know it yourself, why do you knowingly commit it every time? Next time, if you don't change it again and again, I don't want the second sister to take care of you! β
Huang Li hurriedly said, "Not next time." β
Feng Mingying smiled and leaned back and said to Feng: "This is really one thing and one thing. Huang Li was lawless, so she obeyed her second sister. β
Feng glared at the little girl and said, "It's all her father's." β
Huang Laoshi was busy, and after being named, he raised his head and looked at everyone inexplicably.
The crowd laughed again.
Jiu'er saw that Du Juan liked to eat that snack, so he couldn't close his mouth and said to her: "Du Juan, I ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the thirty nights, and Lin Chun came to my house, and we will show you the lion dance." β
The cuckoo nodded hurriedly.
Jiu'er greeted the master and the master, left first, and said that she would come back in the evening.
Lin Chun looked at the cuckoo and asked, "Let's go back, or wait?" β
Du Juan said: "Bring the tofu back immediately." Let's do it together. β
She wanted to ask him why his father scolded him last night.
Lin Chun went to wash his hands and stepped forward to help pick up tofu.
