Chapter Seventy-Eight: Unintentional Willow Insertion

On the way that Uncle Pan escorted his sister and nephew back to Jinan, Pan Erniang was still chatting with her daughter about Aunt Shu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Your second aunt is too disagreeable!" Pan Erniang has said this no less than ten times, and it is almost a mantra.

Qinglan and Mingyu sat there silently, smiling at Pan Erniang, which strange thing did you think of the second aunt this time?

"Tell me, those good papers left by your father, she doesn't write, what's the matter with moving them all to her house!" The paper was given to Mr. Shu by Zhao Bingsheng, and after Mr. Shu retired, he loved to write two strokes when he had nothing to do.

Pan Erniang thought of the second sister-in-law's pie, and her stomach was furious.

First of all, I didn't see a figure a year ago, and my father was sick like that, not to mention going home to do his filial piety, but he could be regarded as catching his family's labor, which didn't need money, and completely left it alone.

Let's talk about the New Year's gifts, the old man can still eat a few meals, why is it so difficult to send something! Are you afraid that your family won't be able to eat her things? I just picked and searched and sent a grilled chicken back - it still stinks, as soon as I opened it, a stream of stinky water flowed out, and I don't know how long the chicken has been released!

After the New Year, I can't see anyone. On the sixteenth day of the first month, I went back to my mother's house for the Lantern Festival, and took a bunch of leftover things from the Ji family for the New Year.

At the dinner table that day, the second sister-in-law still had the face to ask, "What about the grilled chicken I brought to our father?" ā€

The whole family looked at Shu Lao Er, and Pan Er was furious on the spot, "What kind of chicken, that chicken that smells early and can't be eaten?!" "It's as if my family stole her broken chicken!

This is still a trivial matter, Pan Erniang is most angry about the things that Old Man Shu's funeral did.

In the last few days, Mr. Shu had fallen into a deep coma, and Mr. Shu and his wife stayed in front of the bed day and night, not daring to leave at all.

On the night of the third day of the second lunar month, Pan Erniang was too tired to go back to the West House to rest, leaving Shu Erniang alone.

In the early hours of the morning, Shu Lao Er saw that Old Man Shu was about to die, and his breath was already more out and less in. He quickly woke up Pan Erniang and immediately went out to find Boss Shu.

As soon as Boss Shu arrived at the old house, Old Man Shu was no longer good, and the brothers hurriedly reported the funeral, and the fastest to come was the second aunt Shu.

Shu Ergu sent Pan Erniang to the kitchen to cook for the old man Shu (before the small funeral, the deceased should be fed, commonly known as "Hanrice", Shangjia Hanzhu, and the royal family Hanyu), and she checked the fine soft shoulder in the house.

In fact, Old Man Shu has nothing of value here, and he was swept up clean when Xiao Meiyuan left.

There are more than 200 taels of silver, which the three brothers of the Shu family came to treat his father years ago, and one hundred and sixty taels of them came from Qinglan's house.

When Pan Erniang came in with dinner, Shu Ergu had already packed a big burden and was rushing Ji Er's out to let him go home first.

Pan Erniang was immediately angry, I thought she came so quickly, and she thought she was a good one, but she didn't think that people would have such an idea!

Old Man Shu's bones are not cold, what is Second Aunt Shu doing!? Besides, one of her married daughters rummaged through the cabinets in her father's house to get things, saying what it looked like when she went out, and the three brothers of the Shu family were still "alive", so where to put their faces!

But now is not the time to quarrel, because the rest of the Shu family and the people who are helping outside are coming one after another, Pan Erniang has to endure it for the time being.

Originally, the "steward" of Old Man Shu's funeral was set by Zhao Chengzhi, and it was also negotiated by the Shu family a long time ago, in addition to Zhao Chengzhi's ability is not bad, he is also the eldest son of Zhao County, and he is decent.

But Aunt Shu didn't care about those, as soon as the condolences came, she immediately squeezed to the front to collect the gift money, not to mention the embarrassment, and made a mess of the account.

Pan Erniang sometimes really can't guess what Aunt Shu thinks, originally the Shu family and the Shu family in the countryside were not very happy because of the matter of five acres of land, and the brothers did not plan to go any further.

But who knew that when Aunt Shu returned to the village, she was like a mother and daughter with Aunt Shu, with a big bag and a small package for half a car, Pan Erniang was angry when she looked at it, why didn't you do this to your father!

When the old man was buried, everyone returned to the old house to settle accounts, separated the gift money, and returned the favors of each family; There is also the cost of the previous funeral, and the three brothers of the Shu family also have to share it equally.

Who knew that at this time, Shu Ergu made another moth.

First of all, the gift money is not right, the silver money is less, and the amount of gift money given by who on the list is clear and clear, but it can be calculated as a less.

Shu Ergu argued: "There were too many people at that time, and it was possible to remember confused. ā€

Pan Erniang didn't believe her nonsense, she kept staring at Shu Ergu!

Pan Erniang was also not polite, and took the lead in telling Ji Lao Er what money Shu Er had spent in the past few days, how much money she had spent from the gift money account, and gave Ji Lao Er to buy things, but then she didn't make up for it.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Yufen and others also added one after another, and soon completed the accounts.

Shu Ergu's face turned red, she really wanted to pick out some, but she didn't expect to be poked by Pan Erniang so quickly, and she glared at Pan Erniang fiercely.

After settling the accounts, the next step is to divide the family property.

Old man Shu has nothing of value here, just the old mansion.

At the beginning, Boss Shu made a document, and after a hundred years, Old Man Shu would share half of Mrs. Shu's family property with his two younger brothers. But Xiao Meiyuan did not give birth to a younger son, and the question now is how to divide this half of Old Man Shu's real estate.

It stands to reason that Boss Shu's full inheritance is reasonable, after all, he is the eldest son, and this inheritance plan is also recognized in law.

But Boss Shu insisted on sharing it equally with his two younger brothers, and the house had one courtyard for each person. But Shu's second aunt quit, she asked to share the property with her three younger brothers and eldest sister, and she didn't want her name to be added to the deed, as long as one-fifth of the house price in cash.

Now that the Shu family is gone, your daughter-in-law surnamed Ji, why should you share the property of the Shu family?

But Shu Ergu was determined to fight, and scolded a few younger brothers for not knowing kindness, etc., and said the idea of being a child over and over again, and finally rolled on the floor of the house directly, crying.

Ji Lao Er didn't persuade either, just sat there and made trouble by his daughter-in-law, the Shu family understood that this was what the two of them had said, acting.

In the end, it was Zhao Bingsheng who came forward, and he proposed to divide the old mansion into four parts, and Aunt Shu and Aunt Shu shared one share.

"Leave a little thought." Zhao Bingsheng worded it like this, he hadn't seen the money in his eyes yet, they didn't want Aunt Shu's share, let it go to Aunt Shu.

Shu Ergu immediately agreed, a quarter must be more than a fifth, and she calculated this account quickly and clearly.

Since the eldest brother-in-law spoke, the three brothers of the Shu family were not easy to refute, so they responded, and the second aunt Shu reached out to ask for silver on the spot.

In recent years, the population in Weixian County has become more and more, the housing prices have risen naturally, the location of the old house is good, and the surrounding service facilities are convenient, so far, the old house can be sold for about 1,200 to 1,500 taels.

I heard that the upper authorities intend to restore the jurisdiction of Weizhou, and Weixian County is likely to rise from the county seat to the state capital, and housing prices will have to rise by then.

Therefore, Shu Ergu directly asked for five hundred taels, after all, there is huge room for the house to appreciate in the future.

This time, Shu Laosan was the first to refuse, and he directly shook off "disagree". What are you kidding, it's good to share your share, but for the sake of the past sister and brother relationship, why do you have to make inches!

As for whether to ascend to the state capital, it is not up to them to decide, even if it is to be promoted, it is not certain when it will be promoted.

In the end, Shu Ergu couldn't resist Shu Laosan, and retreated to ask for four hundred taels, but Shu Lao didn't want to entangle with her anymore, so he nodded and agreed.

Then there are some bits and pieces, most of which are daily necessities. Second Aunt Shu still refused to let go, but she only said nothing about the silver and cloth she had scavenged from Old Man Shu's house before.

Pan Erniang remembers clearly, how could she let her be so silent. Pan Erniang was very polite, threw the matter out in front of everyone, and asked Shu Ergu to return the silver.

Shu Ergu pretended to be stupid, and in the end, Wang Yufen sang and harmonized with Qin's family, saying that she would report to the official if she couldn't find it, and Shu Ergu saw that Zhao Bingsheng ignored her, so she reluctantly took out the silver, and lied that she was too busy in the past two days and forgot about it.

In short, this time the Shu family was extremely dissatisfied with Shu Ergu's words and deeds, these things were said behind the children's backs, Pan Erniang couldn't hold back her anger, and she didn't vomit unpleasantly when she thought about it.

After splitting up, Shu Boss and Shu Laosan immediately prepared to move back to live, Shu Boss lived in the main house, Shu Laosan's family lived in the East Cross Courtyard, Shu Lao Er took the initiative to ask for the West Cross Courtyard, he and Pan Erniang had feelings for it there, and they were used to living there.

On this day, Qinglan and others rested, and at the end of the first day, Uncle Pan killed chickens and slaughtered geese, preparing to "make up" for the children the next day.

Early the next morning, the soup that had been boiled all night was filled with iron pots, and a large pot of brine was filled with red peppers, which made people appetize when they looked at it.

The ingredients are put in a pot in chronological order, and the aroma of the meat gradually overflows from the boiling juice, filling the taste buds and wafting out from the kitchen.

"What does it smell like?"

A passer-by paused, greedily sucking on the aroma of lo-mei.

"It seems to have come from that family." The person who was questioned searched around and soon found the signboard of "Happy Canteen".

"It smells so good!" The children in the streets and alleys also stopped playing, and their saliva was gluttonous by the smell of braised pork.

Pedestrians and small vendors setting up stalls around are all hooked to look at each other, this store is going to come out with new dishes?

The spicy marinade is different from the local conventional salt marinade, adding a lot of Qinglan's favorite ingredients, and the marinated ingredients are not immediately edible, but are soaked in the prepared red oil base soup after cooling, making the taste more delicious and exciting.

In the kitchen, Xiaobao followed Zhang Ji's ass and kept asking, "Okay?" "Are you already?"

Zhang Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Not yet, wait a little longer." ā€

In the backyard, Uncle Pan had already lit the charcoal and was ready to put it on the shelf to roast chicken wings and chicken legs.

Qinglan eats hypocrisy, she has to use some fruit charcoal to grill, Uncle Pan burned it all morning yesterday.

The braised pork was made by Pan Erniang on her own initiative, but the barbecue was requested by Qinglan, she hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, she couldn't think about it.

When Old Man Shu died, his grandchildren should be under the system for one year, but in fact, it was only nine months.

You can't eat meat if you keep the system, but the common people don't pay so much attention to it at home, as long as you keep it, you can eat it.

When the children were all growing up, Pan Erniang was also distressed when they watched the dishes of the girl Chong Thirteen and Wu Shi shine every day, so she took advantage of this Mu Xiu and passed the three sevens of Old Man Shu, marinated it in a pot of meat, and let the children open the meat.

In addition to braised pork and roast chicken wings, there is also a pickled goose hanging in the yard, which is going to invite Mr. Ji to come to the house to eat roast goose.

"Little shopkeeper, what do you have to eat today?" A wealthy middle-aged man asked Xiang Qinglan with a smile, there were only two people in the store, she and Mingyu, and Pan Erniang and others were still busy in the back kitchen.

Yes? Qinglan was a little puzzled, the sign was very clear, wonton stewed dumplings and chicken soup and music.

"Ha, I knew you had something delicious!" The man had an expression of not hiding, hurry up and take it out.

Feelings are a foodie, smell the smell!

Qinglan suddenly realized, and her heart and eyes quickly turned, "Uncle is really amazing, our family has indeed made some new tricks, and we are still in the process of trying the taste, so..."

"What's there?" Without waiting for Qinglan to finish speaking, the middle-aged man hurriedly asked.

Qinglan reported the lo-mei in the pot, anyway, she made so much, it didn't matter if she sold a little.

"Let's have a platter!" The middle-aged man thought that it was all a taste anyway, so it was better to try them all.

... Platter? ... What do you think about fried bugs?

Shandong people are good at eating "insects", and there are generally "insects" platters in the restaurant, which are roughly divided into five kinds, namely silkworm pupae, grasshoppers, six turtles, bee pupae and bamboo pupae.

Platter, platter!

Qinglan smiled and said to the man: "Wait a minute, the lo-mei is not out of the pot yet, what kind of staple food do you have for you?" ā€

As the saying goes, it's not as delicious as dumplings, and that person is a lover at first glance, and sure enough, his next sentence is - "What kind of filling are dumplings?" ā€

"Mackerel." Qinglan still smiled at the standard.

"Mackerel?" The man frowned, because the fishy smell is difficult to get rid of, and the dumplings filled with fish and meat are not welcomed in Jinan, which is also the reason why Qinglan's dumplings are not easy to sell.

"Don't worry, you won't taste fishy." Qinglan swore to the guests. This dumpling has added new ingredients, not only to remove the fishiness but also to increase the freshness, which was accidentally discovered by Qinglan during the New Year.

"That's... Try it. The man said secretly: Anyway, it's just a lunch, if it's not delicious, he won't come in the future.

******

When Mr. Ji entered the door, he instantly thought that he was in the wrong place, the house was overcrowded, and the aroma of wine and meat filled the entire restaurant.

"This is..."

The little apprentice greeted him with a smile and invited Mr. Ji to the backyard, "Sir, please sit down for a while, the roast goose will come soon." ā€

Qinglan is so happy, I didn't expect a pot of braised pork to open up a new situation in her own restaurant, many people bring their own drinks (Qinglan's family does not sell alcohol) to eat braised pork, and by the way, grilled chicken wings and grilled chicken thighs are on fire!

The number of chicken wings is limited, and the list is scheduled for next month.

Maybe... Qinglan thought as she walked, it was time to find new market demand!
