Chapter 36: Jealousy
Mu Xinan smiled: "Don't worry, little Lanlan, come in first!" As he spoke, he let the two sisters-in-law in.
"Look at the east, didn't your Uncle Mu Xinze make a new door over there! Just go out through that door in the future! ”
The east courtyard where Mu Lan Mu Cheng and her family live is close to Mu Xinze, the second son of the village chief's family, and there is a passage about one zhang wide between the two courtyards, so there is no problem at all to open a door here. Looking at the newly opened door, Mu Cheng asked happily, "Uncle An, when will this door be repaired?" ”
Looking at the eager eyes, Mu Xin'an, who knew the family affairs of Old Man Mu, touched the top of Mu Cheng and Mu Lan's heads, and laughed, "As long as Xiao Lanlan continues to cook food today, we uncles and uncles will strive to finish it today!" ”
Since yesterday I ate the strawberry pancake made by Mu Lan, everyone has become very interested in Mu Lan's cooking.
Hearing others say this, Mu Lan is very happy, his efforts have been recognized, what is more happy than this, even if there is a happier thing, it will be in the future, now Mu Lan's mood is flying, Mu Lan responded sweetly.
Mu Cheng watched from the side, a faint jealousy rose in his heart, although that strawberry pancake was indeed thought up by Mu Lan, but that one also had her credit in it, how could the people who were praised be Mu Lan?
Once this kind of emotion came out, it was difficult to contain, and the smile on Mu Cheng's face slowly faded.
This situation happened to be seen by the Shen family who came over, but the Shen family didn't show anything!
In her opinion, this is really nothing, Mu Cheng is somewhat childish under the influence of the Liu family, and there is no way to make her not jealous now!
Mu Lan saw Shen coming over, and rushed over happily, now her happiness is about to overflow, and she needs others to share it very much, and now Shen is the best listener.
Shen Shi was stumbled by Mu Li, and looked at Mu Lan with a gentle smile on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end, but spoke to Mu Xin'an first: "Brother An, let's take everyone to drink saliva and rest first, sister-in-law has prepared a dried sour plum soup, which is just right to relieve the heat!" ”
After speaking, he said to Mu Cheng: "Ah Cheng, your grandma was still worried about you just now!" Go and put your things down and go to your grandma to tell you that you're safe! ”
Seeing this, Mu Xin'an began to beckon the people who were still busy to rest for a while, and he didn't forget to mention to Shen Shi that he wanted to try Mu Lan's craftsmanship, and praised Mu Lan all the way, and by the way, he expressed that the children in the family wanted to eat yesterday's small snack again, and Shen responded with a smile. Mu Xin'an took the time to bring someone over early in the morning to help rebuild the yard, and Shen was very grateful.
Seeing that everyone left to rest, Shen Shi lowered his head and nodded Mu Lan's nose, and pulled her to the room.
Mu Lan put the things at the door and pulled Shen to sit on the edge of the bed, chirping out the events of today, including what happened in the morning market.
After listening to Mu Lan's narration, Shen frowned rarely, but that was limited to that.
Shen smiled softly, and simply said his own construction: Since it is a partnership between two families, then each of the two families will launch a person to keep accounts, and there will be a basis for dividing accounts in the future.
Shen also said that he didn't know the person who appeared in the morning market, but only said that it might be someone he knew when Mu Li Muyi was in the army before.
The person who appeared today has a murderous aura, since his father and uncle are familiar with this kind of person, then the skills of these two will not be low, but why? Instead of continuing to serve in the army, Abba and Uncle returned to the small county town to work as blacksmiths!
Although there is a certain danger in being a soldier, the salary of a soldier is not a joke.
When he was in the old courtyard, Mu Jian, who had heard a little drunk, say this: Don't look at his current salary as a forest ranger, it is not low, but compared to the lowest non-commissioned officer corporal in the army, this income is less than half of the other party's, let alone officers above the rank of lieutenant.
However, since their own Abba and Uncle chose to come back, it means that they do have a reason to do so!
No longer entangled in this problem, Mu Lan felt that the construction that her aunt had just proposed was very necessary, and her brother still settled the accounts, not to mention that this time the partnership was between two families, although the possibility was very small, but who could guarantee that there would be no problems in the end? So the next money earned is better to have one person on each side keep half of it.
Moreover, this business is estimated to not be able to do for long, these food as long as others have the heart to study is not immutable, the most optimistic estimate of this business is at most a month, not optimistic is that the time is directly shortened by half, so even a period of time to add a lot, according to today's sales can double the next sales, of course, this is before the appearance of imitations.
Looking at Mu Lan who was out of her mind, Shen didn't bother her, and left quietly, and by the way, he also brought the door up for her.
Mu Lan was distracted for nearly a moment (20 minutes) before she came back to her senses, and when she found a quiet room, Mu Lan suddenly felt at ease.
But peace of mind is one thing, and lunch at noon still has to be refueled.
Thinking about it, Mu Lan jumped up and down to Liu's place and asked Mu Cheng to help. But there was a small episode today: Mu Cheng proposed that she wanted to cook a dish independently today, Mu Lan was first puzzled and then understood, but it was nothing, just do it if you want to.
Mu Cheng was indeed stimulated, she prepared a dish of spicy chicken, this dish is actually not surprising, but before Mu Lan made a small improvement to this dish, the taste is more cumin than the general spicy chicken, there is more cumin fragrance and a little sour taste to increase appetite, and now Mu Cheng has directly used Mu Lan's improvement.
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw it, but she didn't say anything, but she removed another dish about chicken she had prepared from the menu.
Mu Lan thought about it again and again, and simply killed the original plan to make a table of dishes, and now that Mu Cheng is like this, it would be too exciting for Mu Lan to make another table of dishes.
In the end, Mu Lan decided to make two simple dishes, a slightly more complex stewed pork with vegetables and a simple potato cake, both of which were of course improved, and finally prepared some strawberry pancakes to hang in a deep well to wait for them to cool.
After doing this, Mu Lan directly returned the kitchen to Liu and Shen, and went to the yard to help a few boys deal with the shrimp together, and the amount of shrimp prepared today will be directly related to the number of finished products tomorrow.
In order to ensure the taste of the shrimp in the crystal shrimp dumplings and shrimp thick egg roast, all the shrimp meat is patted with a kitchen knife and then cut with the back of the knife, the shrimp meat is rotten and continuous, very tough, which is also the main reason for the peculiar taste of these two small snacks, and the dough of the crystal shrimp dumplings also has a special ratio in it, which is also the main reason why these two simple dishes are difficult to imitate in a short time.
However, some people with extraordinary food sense can still eat it, after all, it is not a secret, and it is still important to come up with a few more good foods.
