093 Grape vinegar
Su Yu was still very happy when she saw Fang Shen, however, she found that Fang Shen did not come alone, he brought someone over, that one looked five points similar to him, but his temperament was completely different from him, that person's temperament was cold, and there was a faint sense of alienation when he didn't speak.
Fang Shen had just entered the door, and when he saw Su Yu coming back with the puppy in his arms, he laughed: You guys are back.
Su Yu smiled and said: Yes, why are you free to come over today? Have you eaten?
Fang Shen sighed: This is the time to squeeze out, I can only stay for three days, we have eaten on the road, hey, isn't Brother Su here?
Su Yu nodded and said, "Big brother went to the town and hasn't returned yet."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at the person beside Fang Shen and asked, "Who is this......
Fang Shen hurriedly introduced: This is my second brother, Fang Ce, just came back from the field, do you remember last time, it was my second brother who came back, and I left in a hurry.
Su Yu greeted with a smile: Second Brother Fang is good.
Fang Ce nodded lightly at Su Yu, and at the same time, he also looked at Su Yu, the little girl was born well, but she was too young and didn't grow up, so she couldn't talk about how attractive she was.
Fang Ce was very calm when he looked at Su Yu, but when he saw the puppy cub in Su Yu's hand, his eyes flickered slightly.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, she couldn't imagine that this cold Second Brother Fang actually liked puppies, so she generously handed over the puppy and said: Second Brother Fang, if you help me hold it, I will take Fang Shen in to diagnose Xiaobao's pulse.
When Fang Shen heard Su Yu say this, he was about to stop it, because his second brother didn't like to touch other people's things, and he was a very particular person.
Good. Fang Ce replied, the corners of his mouth turned up suspiciously.
Su Yu handed over the soft puppy, Fang Ce took it carefully, and then hugged it nervously.
Fang Shen looked at his second brother with a dull expression, what about Gao Leng? Does he remember that his second brother even usually speaks like 'um', 'oh', 'good' and so on, with pitiful few words, and he especially doesn't like to be close to people, so what's going on?
Su Yu pulled Fang Shen to find Xiaobao, she saw that Fang Shen was still stunned, so she whispered: Maybe your second brother likes small animals on weekdays.
Yes, is it?
Fang Shen came to his senses at this time, so it turned his head to look at his second brother, only to see that his second brother was gently touching the puppy.
Fang Shen secretly thought, wait until he gets home and ask his brother if he really likes small animals, this hobby, he hides it so deeply! Could it be that it is because my mother is allergic to animal hair, so the second brother has been holding back?
Su Yu took Fang Shen directly to the East House, Su A-Niang was feeding Xiaobao medicine in the house, Xiaobao drank half of it, he looked up and saw Fang Shen, he drank the remaining half bowl into his stomach at once, it was so hot! Xiaobao stuck out his tongue, it's so hot!
Xiaobao quickly rushed to Fang Shen's side, and asked with bright eyes: Brother Fang, can you teach me to read?
Fang Shen smiled: Then you have to be obedient.
Xiaobao nodded seriously.
Fang Shen said again: Because I can only stay here for three days this time, I can only teach you to recognize words for three days, and when the matter over there is solved next time, I will teach you to recognize words.
Xiaobao clapped his hands happily and said: Brother Fang, you can teach me to read, I am very happy! This mouthful of a brother is so sweet.
Fang Shen helped Xiaobao diagnose his pulse, he pondered for a moment, and said: Just take another five days of medicine, his body will not be sick again like before in the future.
Su A-Niang asked excitedly: Really?
Fang Shen smiled: Naturally, it's true, will I still tell lies to coax my aunt?
Su A-Niang's mouth was full of laughter, and she didn't close it for a long time, but Su Yu poked Su A-Niang and said: Mother, you go to the butcher's house in the village to see if there is any better pork, and weigh two catties back, Fang Shen and Second Brother Fang are here, so you have to make a good meal.
Fang Shen hurriedly waved his hand and said: No, no, just cook at home.
Su Yu said with a smile: It's okay, our family has made money selling recently, you don't have to worry about the problem of money, and ah, you have done our family such a big favor, what's wrong with eating two good meals, it's okay. I'm not glad you're so polite!
Fang Shen heard that Su Yu was going to be unhappy, so he hurriedly shut up.
Su A-Niang took 300 yuan and went out to buy meat, 14 yuan a pound of pork, she may buy a lot of money! Of course, Su A-Niang didn't want so much meat, she thought, weigh five catties of pork, burn two catties at noon, and marinate the remaining three catties, and eat it tomorrow.
Su Aniang told Fang Shen that they couldn't go together, so they simply went out to buy meat, and kept the eldest girl and the second girl to talk to them, anyway, they are all young people, and they will definitely be able to talk about a piece.
When Su A-Niang went to the butcher's house, she met Uncle Su who was weighing meat, and when Uncle Su saw Su A-Niang, her eyes rolled, but she snorted: But I heard that your family is so poor that you can't open the pot, what's the matter, come and buy a pig to go into the water and make a tooth sacrifice, tsk, this person is poor, don't think about eating meat.
Uncle Su soured Su A-Niang for a long time, but she weighed two catties of fat, and she still carried the meat in front of Su A-Niang.
Su A-Niang didn't choke with her, just stepped aside and let Uncle Su go first.
Aunt Su gave her a blank look again: After the family is separated, even people won't shout, can people like you teach children well?
Su A-Niang looked up at Uncle Su and said: We didn't stop separating the family, and we also signed the deed breaking paper, what do you mean, you can't regret it? Well, if you give me back the two acres of paddy fields and land and the silver you owe to my family, I will treat it as if it were a paperwork.
Aunt Su was choked by these words, and her face turned blue and red for a while.
After a long time, she turned her head and snorted away, and she said: Don't come to the door when my osmanthus is married!
Su A-Niang wondered in her heart, isn't Osmanthus going to marry Zhang Xiucai's sick son, doesn't the sister-in-law regret getting married, why is she so happy now?
However, Su A-Niang is not a mouthy person, so she didn't ask much.
Su Butcher really thought that Su A-Niang was here to weigh the pig into the water, no, he took it out, but unexpectedly, Su A-Niang asked Zhang Butcher: How much pork do you have left?
Su Butcher was surprised: Are you here to weigh pork? That's a rarity!
Su A-Niang smiled: Yes, I want to weigh ten catties of pork, is there anything else? Five catties and five flowers, two catties of fat, and three catties of skinny. The meat of the Su family was brought back from the town by Su Wang, and when Su Wang was away, Su A-Niang did not go to the village to weigh the meat, so ah, the people in the village really haven't seen Su Wang's family weigh meat.
As soon as Su Butcher heard that the business was coming, it was still a big business, and he immediately said: Yes, of course there is, I will call you.
Su Butcher was born with a big waist and a thick waist, and he was born to do this, besides, this pig killing is also his family's ancestral, and he began to kill pigs when he was more than ten years old.
Su Butcher raised the knife in his hand, clicked a few times, and the ten catties of meat were cut, and ah, it was exactly the same as Su A-Niang's request, he would divide it into three parts, wrap it, and hand it to Su A-Niang.
Su A-Niang took the meat and asked, "How much?"
Su Butcher smiled: You buy more, I will count you cheaper, together with one hundred and thirty Wen. Pure fat meat is more expensive, because it can be refined, lean meat is cheaper, and the pork belly is 14 Wen, so this plus and one subtraction is about more than 130 Wen, Zhang Butcher saw that Su Aniang bought more, so he only charged 130 Wen, don't underestimate these few Wen, in the farmer's house, every penny is important.
Su A-Niang smiled and handed over the money, and then left with the meat.
Su Butcher looked at Su Aniang's back, but he was very puzzled, didn't they all say that Su Wang's family was so poor that he was reluctant to throw away an old coat, this name is ten catties of meat, and it is not like the poor in the eyes of the villagers?
On the way home, she happened to bump into Aunt Bolt, who pulled her aside mysteriously and whispered: Ah Wang, have you heard?
Su A-Niang looked puzzled: What did you hear?
Aunt Bolt opened her eyes wide and said: I don't know yet? Zhang Xiucai's family is sick, I heard that it's good!
Su A-Niang was surprised: Ah, didn't you say that you were about to die? That's good?
Aunt Bolt half-covered her mouth and said: Isn't your mother's family in Zhangjia Village, didn't you go back to ask? I think it's better to inquire more about this matter.
I'm going back to my parents' house in a few days, so I'll ask when the time comes. Su A-Niang said, after a while, she thought again, sister-in-law is not happy because of this, if Zhang Xiucai's son is really well, then it is really a good family business.
Su A-Niang thought about it, and suddenly remembered that there were still distinguished guests at home, so she sighed and said to Aunt Xuan: Sister-in-law, there are distinguished guests at my house, I have to go back quickly, and talk to you next time.
Aunt Tie asked in surprise: Distinguished guest, what distinguished guest?
Su A-Niang hurriedly said: It's Doctor Fang in the town, come over to see Xiaobao's illness, he is amazing, he has cured all the minor illnesses, can I not thank others! No, I just came out to weigh the meat, and I was ready to entertain Dr. Fang. I won't tell you, it's not early, I can't let people go hungry.
Aunt Bolt nodded hurriedly and said: Yes, yes, then you go back quickly.
The bolt aunt was thoughtful.
Doctor?
Powerful doctor, her mother-in-law has been sick for several days and has been coughing, why don't you take it to Ah Wang's house and let Dr. Fang take a look? Oh, that's going to have to be quick, maybe Dr. Fang will leave after eating!
――
When Su A-Niang returned home, Fang Shen was teaching Xiaobao to recognize words, he opened the three-character scripture, called Xiaobao Nian word by word, Su Zhu was also watching from the side, she also pretended to learn, well, she is really learning, some traditional Chinese characters can be recognized, but not very good at writing, take advantage of this meeting, learn it well.
Second Brother Fang is helping the puppies make kennels, and Su Daniu is teaching him to lay grass.
As soon as Su A-Niang came back, Su Yu saw it, and she also saw the meat in Su A's hand, and she was surprised: Mother, why did you buy so much meat?
Su A-Niang smiled: I can't eat it today, but I will eat it tomorrow.
Xiaobao, who usually loves meat, didn't even twist his head when he heard meat today, and he was seriously learning to read and write.
Su A-Niang saw that Erniu was also following Dr. Fang to read and write, so she didn't let Erniu help with the work, and directly called Su Daniu and said: Daniu, come and help me pick vegetables.
Su Daniu was squatting to make a kennel, and when she heard this, she quickly stood up, and before leaving, she also asked Second Brother Fang: Have you learned?
Fang Ce said with a cold face: Hmm.
Su Daniu walked away with a smile, this strange person spoke very shortly, even more boring than when she pretended to be bored.
At noon, I ate roast pork with potatoes, fried vegetables, and a bowl of sour and hot shredded potatoes and a bowl of fried potato chips, as well as a bowl of egg custard and shredded meat soup, which was an extremely hearty dish for the Su family.
Roast potatoes and sour and hot shredded potatoes are added with grape vinegar, which tastes exceptionally good.
Fang Ce's mouth was very tricky, he ate it together, and the meat of this potato roast meat tasted different from other meats, of course, he had eaten potatoes, and Fang Shen brought a bag home.
However, the taste of this shredded potato is not the same as that of his shredded potatoes.
Fang Ce tasted it carefully, he looked up and asked Su Yu: Is there any seasoning added to this shredded potato, it tastes different from the usual shredded potatoes.
Su Yu smiled: Add grape vinegar, just add a little and you taste it? You've got a good palate.
Fang Ce asked: Grape vinegar, what is it? Is it made from grapes, vinegar, what is the word, how he does not know.
Su Yu said happily: That's a good thing, I can take it to you when you finish eating.
Fang Shen hurriedly said: I want to go and see it too.
Su Yu nodded: Okay, okay, let's eat quickly.
After a while, everyone finished eating, Su Yu took Fang Ce and Fang Shen to the kitchen, she scooped out half a bowl of vinegar directly from the altar, and handed it to Fang Ce and Fang Shen, this vinegar can't be drunk, just taste, half a bowl is enough.
Fang Ce dipped his finger and tasted it, he looked at Su Yu with a shocked expression: What kind of taste is this, with a little sweetness in the sourness.
Su Yu smiled proudly: This is the grape vinegar I made by myself, of course, you can also make rice vinegar from rice, and you can also use other things to make vinegar, this thing is made unintentionally, and the seasoning is very good.
Fang Shen tasted several bites, and the more he tasted it, the more he felt that this thing was weird and good.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Ce looked at Su Yu and asked, "How can this thing be sold?"
Do you want to buy? After Su Yu asked, he said, I only have one altar now, if you want to take it home and try it, I can give you half an altar, if you buy it, you don't have to, Fang Shen also helped my brother to read and write, we will definitely not accept this money.
When Fang Ce heard this, his evaluation of Su Yu in his heart was slightly higher, and he had a rare expression on his face, he looked at Su Yu gently and said, "Okay, then give us half an altar."
He asked for something to get up, and the more he really didn't have to be polite at all.
Su Yu was not stingy, so he directly poured out half of the jar of vinegar and put it in a large jar in the kitchen, and then handed the remaining half jar of grape vinegar to Fang Ce.
Fang Ce accepted it calmly.
Fang Shen secretly stabbed Fang Ce, brother, how can you be like this, how can you accept other people's things plainly?
Fang Ce ignored him completely.
Fang Shen was so angry that his face turned green, but in front of the Su family, he had to quarrel with his brother, which would hurt his brother's face, and as a result, Fang Shen was angry all afternoon, and from time to time he greeted his brother with a knife.
Fang Ce was very calm, and the birds didn't bird him.
Fang Ce put the vinegar on the carriage, and then went back to Su's house, and went to tease the puppy again, he thought it was more cute for the puppy.
This afternoon, Fang Shen was still teaching Xiaobao to read with Su Yu, Su Daniu didn't like to read and write, she embroidered with Su A-Niang in the room.
Time passed very quickly, and before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and seeing that it was not early, Fang Ce stood up and said to the Su family: It's not too early, we should go back, Ah Shen, it's time to go.
Fang Shen was struggling, he felt that it would be troublesome to go back and come back tomorrow.
Fang Ce said mercilessly: There is no male host in the Su family, it is inconvenient for you to stay overnight like this, so it is better to go back with me.
Fang Shen agreed in a muffled voice: Okay.
Su Yu felt that Fang Ce was right, so she didn't leave Fang Shen behind, but when the two of them left, she gave them a small half bag of potatoes.
Fang Shen refused to accept it: There are only five bags in your house, and I took one bag before, and there must not be much left in your house.
Su Yu said with a smile: It has been planted in the vegetable garden, and it will grow in a while.
Fang Shen was surprised: Isn't it almost winter, the weather is cold, can this thing grow?
Su Yu smiled mysteriously: I naturally have a way.
Fang Shen accepted half a bag of potatoes with confidence, and then, he got into the carriage with his second brother, and the two drove the carriage out of the Su family.
On the road.
Fang Shen asked Fang Ce angrily: Second brother, why do you take their things casually, didn't you tell you, their family is not rich, so they can barely get by.
Fang Ce glanced at Fang Shen lightly, and said: This thing is a seasoning, the chef of the restaurant can naturally use it, this half of the jar will be given to the chef of our restaurant at that time, let him try to cook, if the guest thinks it is good, we will buy this vinegar with the Su family, and then it will be more than that, and they will naturally make money at that time.
Fang Shen suddenly realized: So that's the case.
Fang Ce sighed and said: You have passed the age of fifteen, and you are still like a child, when will you grow up?
I'm already an adult! Otherwise, how could my father let me go to the suburbs this time, or help the big man to cure the disease! Fang Shen said.
When Fang Ce heard this, his expression changed, he stared at Fang Shen's eyes and said: You can't say this in the future, remember, keep your mouth shut, but whenever someone asks about the condition, you only say that you are a medicine boy, and you don't know anything else, do you know?
Fang Shen was shocked at this time, and he nodded solemnly.
After a while, Fang Shen suddenly said again: Brother, do you remember to pour out half of the vinegar for the restaurant!
You still need to say it!
Fang Shen said with a weak heart: I'm not afraid that you will forget.
