Chapter 15 Salty Porridge
"Then let your brother stop catching snakes and come back to scare you." Father Shen also spoke.
"And yellow eels and loaches can't be caught." Shen Wei said.
"You love your big sister, so you won't eat these things in the future?" Mother Shen looked at her little daughter playfully.
"Ahh Shen Wei answered, then lowered her head and said to herself at a loss: "I can't eat it." ”
Seeing Shen Wei's very sad look, the Shen family sisters laughed, but Shen Lan couldn't bear it, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't listen to my mother, although the eldest sister is afraid of snakes, as long as the snake is skinned, the eldest sister will not be afraid, let the little brother skin you later, and the big sister will stew you to drink." ”
Hearing this, Shen Wei immediately became happy, and her mouth became sweet: "Big sister is the best, I like big sister the most." ”
"What are you so happy about?" Shen Hailing went and returned, and when he entered the door, he heard the little sister patting his eldest sister on the back, and asked a little confused.
"The eldest sister said to stew snake soup for the younger sister." Shen Lian replied.
"Isn't the eldest sister afraid of snakes?" Shen Hailing replied.
"The eldest sister said, don't be afraid of skinning, you quickly kill the snake, and we will stew it in a jar later." Shen Mei said.
"Ah, I want to stew soup, I just gave the snake to Sister Lamei, I think the eldest sister is afraid anyway, it's a pity to lose it, it's better to give it away, it just so happened that Sister Lamei went out to take out the garbage, so I gave it to her." Shen Hailing spoke depressedly.
Shen Lan didn't expect a delicious snake soup to fly like this, but she also blamed herself for not being angry, who made her afraid of snakes.
"Okay, if you give it away, you give it away, let's eat." Shen Lan said.
"What a pity." Shen Lian spoke with some regret.
"Third sister, what's the pity, I'll go to Zhuyuan to look for it later, if I run into it, I'll catch you." Shen Hailing promised.
"Don't catch it, it's not good if you get bitten, and don't you want to follow your father and mother to make bamboo? If you have the kung fu to catch snakes, it is better to make more bamboo utensils and wait for the market. Shen Lan persuaded.
Shen Hailing felt that it was right when he heard it, so he changed his words: "When I am free one day, I will catch a few snakes for you and come back to fight tooth sacrifices." ”
"Don't think about playing all day long, learn how to weave flower baskets with your father when you have time, and you can learn a craft to support your family in the future." Shen Mu said.
"Okay, eat, eat and get started." Father Shen motioned for everyone to start eating, and after speaking, he lowered his head and drank porridge.
"Mei Niang, did you sprinkle salt in the porridge?" Suddenly, Shen's father put down the bowl and slapped his chopsticks heavily on the table.
"No, what's wrong?" Shen Mei was a little confused.
"How is porridge salty?" Father Shen asked.
"How is it possible, the salt jar and the oil jar have been kept by my mother, I didn't sprinkle salt, this is too strange." Shen Mei was a little unconvinced, so she took a bowl and tasted the porridge, but she really tasted the salt, and she was at a loss.
Shen Lan, who was sitting, was a little uneasy, it wouldn't be because of her that Shen Mei would be scolded.
At this time, Shen's mother got up and walked towards the back wing, the grain, salt, and oil were all collected by her on weekdays, because she was worried that the children were young and ignorant, and she was afraid that they would squander indiscriminately, so she hid it, but she didn't expect Shen Mei to still find salt.
After entering the back room, Shen's mother rummaged through and found that the salt jar had not been touched at all, but there was indeed a salty taste in the porridge, what was going on?
Walking out of the house, Shen's mother shook her head at Shen's father and said, "The salt hasn't moved." ”
Now everyone is wondering, why did their porridge become salty?
"Ouch, mother, anyway, the second sister didn't touch your salt, this porridge tastes good, let's talk about it after eating." Shen Hailing picked up the bowl and drank it, this porridge with salt was really delicious.
"Yes, the second sister is really good, she can cook porridge with salt without salt, it's amazing." Shen Lian also took the bowl and drank it with a smile, admiring her sister very much.
"Mother, I really didn't touch your salt." Shen Mei muttered.
Because of this, Shen's father and Shen's mother are strange, where did this salt come from, it can't fall from the sky.
Seeing that no one doubted his head, Shen Lan also persuaded: "Father, mother, it's our second sister who has good craftsmanship and cooks the porridge well, so don't worry about it." ”
"The second sister is amazing, the porridge is so delicious." Shen Wei also spoke.
Seeing that several children were speaking for Shen Mei, Shen's father and Shen's mother were naturally pleased, and although they suspected that something was wrong, they still picked up the bowl to eat.
Seeing that everyone was no longer entangled in the issue of salt, Shen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had to find a way to cover up the matter, otherwise it would not be good for people to find out that the problem was her.
After breakfast, Shen Lan secretly replaced the water in her water tank with seawater, she planned to go to the well later, and secretly replace the water in it with seawater, so that everyone would not have any problems, after all, when she watched TV before, she had seen a salt well, and the water coming out of the salt well was salty, if the well water became salty, then no one would suspect herself, and it was not a strange thing that Shen Mei could make a flavorful porridge.
However, through this incident, Shen Lan knew that salt was actually a very expensive thing in this era, but she didn't know how much salt was worth, if only she could know, she had a sea, and she could still cook salt with seawater, and she would be able to sell salt when the time came.
After breakfast, Shen Xiaoquan and Zhao Guixiang went outside the house to clean up the bamboo, while Shen Lan led Shen Wei to take a walk in the village to eat, of course, the main thing was that Shen Lan wanted to take the opportunity to find the well where she got water, and then do her tricks.
"Lan Niang, you're well, come in and sit down for a while." After not taking a few steps, Shen Lan was stopped by someone shouting.
A woman about the same age as Zhao Guixiang was sitting at the door of her house with the soles of her shoes, watching the Shen Lan sisters pass by, so she greeted with a smile.
Shen Lan was a little dazed for a while, and she didn't know what to do, but Shen Wei hurriedly said: "Fifth aunt, my sister fell her head and doesn't remember people, don't be surprised." Then he turned his head and said to Shen Lan: "This fifth aunt, you can remember." ”
Shen Lan nodded embarrassedly, and then shouted to the woman slightly shyly, "Fifth aunt, hello." ”
"Ah, uh, good, good......" The fifth aunt was a little confused by Shen Lan, after all, the greetings at this time were 'Have you eaten?' 'Eat' is not interesting, so the fifth aunt is very unaccustomed.
"Fifth aunt, is my sister Ling here? What are you busy with? And don't go to play with me. Shen Wei ran to the threshold beside the fifth aunt and asked, which also resolved the embarrassment of Shen Lan and the fifth aunt.
"It's not your eldest sister who has an accident, I'm afraid that your sister Ling will cause trouble, so I told her not to go to your house these days, I heard that your father and mother went to your eldest sister-in-law's house yesterday, how is the matter? When will their family pick up your eldest sister? The fifth aunt didn't care much about Shen Lan, after all, what was the situation with Shen Lan, it was Shen Yunting in the village who rescued her, so the general situation was still known to the fifth aunt, so she didn't ask Shen Lan about it, but asked about Shen Wei.
Shen Wei helped the fifth aunt sort out the cotton thread in the basket, looking very familiar, Shen Lan naturally couldn't do it, so she simply stood not close and looked at them silently.
"I don't know, my dad didn't say it, but after all, I have to wait for my eldest sister to get better, and my dad won't tell me about these things." Shen Wei wrinkled her cute little nose and spoke with some resentment.
"Lan Niang, don't stand, come and sit here for a while, there is a stool in the house." Seeing Shen Lan standing not far away, the fifth aunt greeted, and then said to Shen Wei: "Go, move a chair for your sister to come out, you are obedient, you know how to sit on the threshold and throw your sister outside." ”
Shen Wei smiled when she heard this, and said affectionately: "Hehe, aren't I used to it, I'll move a chair for my sister right away." ”
"Fifth aunt, no need, it's too troublesome, let Wei Niang accompany me to walk a few more steps to eliminate food." Shen Lan said busily.
"What's the trouble, my aunt is not instructing your sister-in-law, just let your sister-in-law move in for your aunt later, your girl is polite to her aunt when she is sick, and her own aunt is polite, the longer she gets, the more she goes back." The fifth aunt said angrily.
"Yes, big sister, you sit." Shen Wei had already moved a chair with a back out of the house with her short legs.
Shen Lan had no choice but to sit down against the eaves, and then looked at the fifth aunt who had stitches and stitches to take the soles of her shoes, in fact, the picture was still quite embarrassing, Shen Lan herself was not a person who liked to talk to strangers suddenly, and she didn't know what to say, after all, she was labeled with amnesia.
After holding it for a long time, Shen Lan finally spoke: "Auntie, who is this making shoes for?" ”
"Your fifth uncle, he runs outside all the year round, and it costs a lot of shoes, so I will make shoes for him when I have time." The fifth aunt replied with a smile while threading the needle.
"Uh, isn't the fifth uncle not at home all year round?" Shen Lan asked casually.
"Yes, your fifth uncle drives a car in the dart bureau, how much can you earn some money to come back to supplement the family, it is better than the tenant at home, facing the loess all year round, and you are so tired that you can't fill your stomach." When the fifth aunt said this, her tone unconsciously brought a hint of pride.
Shen Lan smiled, and then said: "That's right, my fifth uncle is also capable, he has been running around for many years, and he will definitely make a lot of money, but it is better than those of us who stay at home." ”
"Where to make any money, it is enough to support the family, but there are many places to go, and I often don't stay home for a few months, and I have your sister Lingniang and Brother Zhiyuan to accompany me, otherwise it will be sad this day." Saying that, the fifth aunt couldn't help but sigh.
"That's also very good, the fifth uncle often brings things back to Sister Ling and Brother Yuan, and we haven't seen each other." Shen Wei interjected, so Shen Ling and Shen Zhiyuan are the most popular children in the village.
"Your fifth uncle will buy some useless things and come back to fool you children." The fifth aunt said with a smile in her eyes.
