Chapter Ninety-Seven: Praise
"Cook this acorn for me tonight." Qiao Chaoyang said lightly.
Liu was dumbfounded, regretful, and annoyed, he would have known that he wouldn't have said that, and now his son is angry with himself, what if he eats three long and two short?
Fortunately, although she thought so in her heart, she finally didn't shout, and just peeled the acorn and stuffed it into her mouth when eating.
When the bowl of acorns was finished, Liu cautiously said to his son: "If I eat more, my son will eat less, even if I want to die, I should die." ”
Originally, when she started eating acorns, Qiao Chaoyang thought she had figured it out, but she didn't expect that she actually thought that this thing was poisonous. I had to patiently explain: "My mother also knows that this autumn's harvest is very poor, many families have no harvest, and the imperial court does not pull out disaster relief funds, so I can't say that the people of the county will use this to satisfy their hunger in winter, but you say that it wants to eat the dead." ”
Isn't this tantamount to fighting your own son in the ring?
Liu Shi said curtly: "I also have good intentions, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”
Qiao Chaoyang had to explain again: "Mother, your son is now the magistrate of the county, and he is the parent official of Quandingyuan, you treat me like a child in front of people, and the people will inevitably think that I have no prestige." ”
Is this disgusting to yourself?
Liu said hatefully: "You have grown up, become an official, and have your own ideas, and what your mother said is not right." ”
Qiao Chaoyang couldn't argue with her, so he got up and went out.
Fortunately, only his mother and son sat here to eat, Wang Jing saw Liu's posture, and had already explained that Du Juan would only make her a bowl of noodles. Hongying has long been taught by the Gu family, you will do what your sister Jing does.
When he left, Liu lay on the bed with hatred, "I'm afraid that I was poisoned, and no one knows." ”
I didn't want to sleep for a day, and the next morning I woke up without dizziness, waist, pain, legs, soreness, and no problems with my body, and I was embarrassed to apologize to my son.
Seeing Wang Jing peeling acorns there, Liu also went over, "Yo, I didn't expect this thing to be really edible after cooking, the bowl yesterday was eaten by me and your cousin." This kid has been smart since he was a child, and when he grows up, he has more ideas, and no one else thought of this method, how did he think of it. ”
Wang Jing only pursed her mouth and smiled when she heard this, Hongying wanted to correct her, but she didn't want to be stopped by Wang Jing.
When Liu left, Wang Jing said with a smile: "If you expose her in person, I'm afraid that you will be annoyed and angry, and everyone will not get along." ”
Hongying said: "Then let her be so black and white?" ”
Wang Jing said: "Black can't be white, white can't be black." What's the point of telling her clearly. ”
Hongying was still a little unhappy.
Wang Jing had no choice but to give her an analogy, "We passed past the white goose, is the white goose very fierce?" Naturally, we walked over to it ourselves, and there was nothing to lose by letting the geese crow a few times in front of us. Could it be that we will have face after shouting at the goose a few times? ”
If it were someone else, Wang Jing wouldn't have counted it like this, but after all, Qiao Chaoyang and they had a love for growing up together, and besides, she felt that she had lost her identity too much.
After Liu's loud voice, many people knew that acorns could satisfy their hunger.
So the conversation between the people of Dingyuan started with "Have you eaten?" "Became "Went to pick up acorns?" ”
Wang Jing also had these acorns ground into flour, mixed some of them into wheat flour, and made noodles.
When it was time to eat, even Liu said, "The noodles taste a little different tonight." ”
Hongying said: "May I ask Mrs. Gu, is it delicious or unpalatable?" ”
Liu smiled: "It seems to be delicious, with a fragrance." ”
Hongying said: "It's acorn noodles added to it." ”
Liu couldn't help but remember that he said that this thing was poisonous, and couldn't help but bury his head in eating.
The next day, Wang Jing asked people to mix acorn flour with water to make a paste, boil it to cool, and add green onions, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to make a plate of cold powder. Somehow, Liu always wanted to eat something sour recently, but he didn't be polite to everyone, and ate most of the plate alone.
Hongying said: "What does Mrs. Wugu think of the taste of this cold powder?" ”
Liu said: "It's not bad, it's cool and sour, just right to eat." If only I had a bowl like this every day. ”
Hongying said: "Then you have to tell someone to pick up acorns." ”
Liu said: "It turns out that this is a jelly made of acorns, I just said that my Chaoyang is very capable, he can do anything, others read and read grains, he knows a lot of things." ”
Qiao Chaoyang, who hadn't spoken to her for two days, couldn't help it, "Mother, this is what Sister Jing told me." ”
"It turned out to be Jingjing, I thought it was your cousin." Liu Shiqiang smiled, but scolded Wang Jing fiercely in his heart, knowing that what I said before was wrong, he just didn't remind me, and waited for me to pinch with Chaoyang!
Wang Jing smiled: "No matter who it is, my cousin doesn't want everyone to have something to eat." "Unlike some people, they know that nothing is wrong, and they are not tired, and I am tired for you.
"This is all the credit of Sister Jing, many people say that they want to set up an immortal tablet for you." Qiao Chaoyang said.
Wang Jing said: "This is also because my cousin is knowledgeable and willing to trust me, so I dare to do this, and if I change someone, I may not believe my words at all." ”
Qiao Chaoyang smiled silently.
Liu said: "Your cousin, who knows him, doesn't boast." I've only been here for a few days? Every day, a young girl's family brings fresh vegetables, and some people bring prepared food. To be literary and literate, to have good looks......"
Qiao Chaoyang hurriedly said to Wang Jing: "Let's go to the mountain first to see if there is any rosin." ”
Liu still didn't notice that his son's face was not good, and he smiled smugly: "If those girls know that you are on the mountain, they are afraid that they will have to send the food over." ”
Qiao Chaoyang's face was blank, "I told those entourages, whoever wants to leak my whereabouts in private, will not be spared if they are discovered." ”
Only then did Liu realize that his son was annoyed again. I had to force a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell them where you are." Business matters, this kid is too dead-eyed to be good. ”
Now even Hongying didn't want to listen to her nagging, "Sister, let's go to the mountains to see if there is any rosin." ”
I didn't know that in the mountains and forests, the rosin had just overflowed the grooves that had been scraped out.
Qiao Chaoyang asked people to scrape more on the vertical bar again, and it became a "Ya" type.
Hongying was running around excitedly with a rake, and after a while, she picked up a lot of pine needles.
"Sister Jing, this rake is so fun. When they get back, let them cook with these pine needles. She said.
It took her an hour to put the rake down, and she was held by the purple kite again.
"It's so easy to use, people just walk in front, and the firewood will automatically go to the rake."
"You should make more rakes, and picking up a cart of pine needles a day is not a problem." Hongying Road.
Qiao Chaoyang said: "This is the method that your sister Jing came up with, she didn't agree, I don't dare to let people do more." ”
Wang Jing laughed, she can't apply for a patent in this era, not to mention that this is not her invention and creation, "If my cousin doesn't do it, others can probably make it at a glance, why not let the old master do it first, and sell it for a few dollars to survive the winter." ”
Qiao Chaoyang said: "My cousin is very poor now, remember the favor first, and repay it together later." ”
When they went down the mountain, the large bundle of pine needles really aroused the curiosity of passers-by, and they stopped on the street and asked. (To be continued.) )
