23. Invite Aunt Liu
Xu Wan didn't understand why the second brother became so strict for a while, but she still nodded seriously, she wouldn't say this again in the future.
didn't know that under Xu Wenyuan's calm surface, his heart was already turbulent, and he had a trace of doubt about Tong Xue's sister-in-law.
In fact, Tong Xue has a lot of points, he is the only one in the family who has been to the Tong family, and Xu Wenyuan knows a little more about the people of the Tong family than others.
The Tong family is such a mean family, and Tong Xue can marry Tong Yu like this, although it is to block this family business for Tong Yu, but with such a face, why don't you feel that Tong Xue has no value to the Tong family.
But looking at what happened after Tong Xue came to the Xu family, although many things looked the same as before, but in less than a month, I found that a lot had changed when I thought about it.
Not to mention anything else, just the bits and pieces of money from selling tofu have also saved a lot, and the family can eat and drink for a long time.
The food at home was not consumed much faster than before, but their table was much richer, the vegetables that grew faster than usual, the chickens that loved to lay eggs than usual, and the rivers and mountains outside, as much as possible to enrich their barren tables.
The younger brothers and sisters seem to be happier and more lively than in the past, if there is really a blessing from heaven, Xu Wenyuan thought, probably God let Tong Xue marry into their Xu family by mistake.
And the willow tree outside, thinking of this, Xu Wenyuan shook his head, threw out those thoughts, and was silent in his heart.
The preparation of chicken cake is actually very simple, but now it is limited by the conditions, there is no baking powder commonly used in Western pastries, if only flour and eggs are used, I am afraid that the cake will not be fluffy in the end.
Tong Xue scratched her hair irritably, although the trough cake she ate that day was a little hard, she still felt that something similar to baking powder was added to it.
After walking around the stove room for a long time, her eyes fell on the old dough she left to ferment before, this thing can steam steamed buns, and theoretically can also make cakes.
Why don't you just add it in?
Tong Xue has always been a person who does what she says, drying the old dough, and then grinding it into flour and using it as baking powder, Tong Xue has never made such a strange attempt before, and I don't know what demerits will be made, I hope this idea works.
Of course, if it didn't work in time, Tong Xue still placed a glimmer of hope on the well water in the space, hoping that even if it failed, it wouldn't be too unpalatable at that time.
Using the eggs laid by the hens at home, as well as the last remaining flour and sugar in the family, Tong Xue felt more nervous than ever.
After all, the food she used was very valuable food at home, and if it was hard to eat, she would really feel guilty.
Tong Xue was very nervous, and unconsciously remembered a long time ago in her mind, it was Tong Xue's first steamed steamed bun, originally because she had seen others do it, she thought it was very simple, so she wanted to try it herself, who knew that the noodles were not enough, and the soda was not put in, and the steamed steamed buns were hard and felt that they were hard, harder than Wowotou.
It's just that the food she cooks by herself has to be finished while kneeling, so Tong Xue even ate black and hard steamed buns for a week, and since then, for a long time, as long as she starts steaming steamed buns, Tong Xue is very nervous.
But when I grew up, with the improvement of my craft, this tension has not appeared for a long time, and today, the tension that lingers in my heart has reappeared.
Because there was no mold, Tong Xue put the final finished product into the bowl and put it in the pot, and then breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the result was, it was finally finished, and now she is waiting for the result.
After doing this, Tong Xue realized that she was sweating, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked over to Xu Wenyuan and them.
Now the brothers and sisters of the Xu family are very familiar with making tofu, and Tong Xue only needs to be responsible for ordering brine, but today is a different day, so Tong Xue waved her hand, "We won't go out to sell tofu today." ”
This time it was Xu Wan and Xu Wenyuan's turn to be dumbfounded, Xu Wenyuan immediately thought that today was his mother's death day, so he took the initiative to say, "Sister-in-law, it's enough for us to go to my mother's grave for a morning, I've counted the time, and I won't delay anything." ”
This is a small twenty catties of tofu, if you sell it all, you can earn dozens of yuan, if you go to work outside, you have to sell it honestly for three or four days to earn it.
There is a custom in their village that this kind of thing must be done in the morning, which is a kind of respect for the deceased, and the afternoon time is freer, so there is no problem for Xu Wenyuan to say this.
Tong Xue said that it was not about this, "I am not going to the grave, it has something to do with Wen Zhao and Jing'er, whether they can be like other children in the village in the future, it is up to them to do this." ”
Xu Wan and Xu Wenyuan glanced at each other, and at the same time thought of Xu Wenda's words, and then did not refute and helped Tong Xue get the tofu out.
Tong Xue quickly got the tofu ready, first instructed Xu Wan to go to the stove room to bring up the pot, don't keep it on the fire, and then asked her to find Aunt Liu next door, "Wan'er, you go to Aunt Liu next door to come over, just say that I made new tofu and give her a taste." ”
Aunt Liu is very friendly to the children of the Xu family, and if there is something new at home, she will also give Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing a taste, and Aunt Liu can be regarded as the best family they get along with in the village.
Neighbors have to be polite and reciprocal, Aunt Liu's family conditions are not very good, otherwise they can't live in such a remote place, and often help them, so that Xu Wan and they often feel embarrassed, but sometimes they can't help Aunt Liu.
So at this time, Tong Xue said to send some tofu to Aunt Liu, and Xu Wan agreed very happily, and ran next door with a jump, "Okay." ”
As soon as Aunt Liu heard Xu Wan's intention, she immediately refused, that tofu is not cheaper than white noodles, how difficult it is for these children, how can they take advantage of other people's advantages.
However, I heard that Tong Xue did it herself, so she followed Xu Wan to Xu's house, and chatted with Xu Wan a few times on the way, "I have seen your sister-in-law a few times from afar before, looking at a thin and small person, I was still worried about whether I could take care of you, I didn't expect her to have this craft, it is a good thing to have a craft to make a living, no matter what, I can't be hungry." ”
Compared with those people in the village, Aunt Liu knows a lot about the courtyard of the Xu family, as soon as she walked to the door, she saw that the big willow tree was lush and green, looking like it was waving in the wind, and the leaves on it were green and fresh.
Aunt Liu's eyes widened when she saw it, "Oh Mom, what's going on with this tree in front of your house!" ”
Before Xu Wan could explain, Tong Xue had already come out and warmly held Aunt Liu's hand, "Auntie, come in quickly." ”
Tong Xue pulled Aunt Liu, kept smiling, and cut a small piece of tofu to Aunt Liu, "Auntie, after I got married, I haven't invited you to sit down, Wenda told me, you have always taken good care of them, I have to thank you well, how about my aunt taste the tofu I made?" "I'm very excited to see my friend's tip, thank you Mimoca, skyblue08's peace charm, (づ ̄3 ̄)づ, O(∩_∩)O~~
