Chapter 102: Zhang Dayu's house is a guest
"Hey, don't run away, why don't you know how to say hello when you see someone!" Zhang Dayu smiled at his son's back. "Don't care, the village baby has never seen the world!"
Everyone laughed and said they didn't care.
At this moment, a woman came out of the house, about thirty years old, who seemed to have just cleaned herself up in the house, and her hair was still a little wet with water.
The clothes are not very new, not cleaned up but quite neat, and the smile is quite shy. Behind her, a little girl of seven or eight years old came out from the corner of her dress, dressed in a half-new water-red jacket, and her hair was neatly combed.
The lady first saluted everyone, and then pulled the little girl out from behind and said, "Shui Cao, greet the guests!" β
The little girl, a little shy and shy, awkwardly saw a salute, and her voice was as small as a mosquito buzzing, "I've seen a guest!" β
Ruoyun has a good impression of the shy little girl, she used to have a girlfriend who was very shy when she was a child, but she was raised by the family much better when she grew up.
Seeing this little girl like this at this time, she couldn't help but think of her best friend when she was a child. He said, "Sister Harunba, give a gift to Sister Shuicao and Brother Shuisheng!" β
Originally, she just had to say "Reward!" Haruka could understand what she meant, but in order to show respect for others, Ruoyun still said this.
Haruka took out two delicate purses from his sleeves and stuffed one into his hand for each of the aquatic and aquatic plants. Zhang Dayu thanked the two of them again and again, and the aquatic and aquatic plants also thanked them, and then ran out of the yard shyly.
Everyone was invited to the hall, the house was cleaned very clean, the furniture had been used for some years, Zhang Dayu moved out a lot of small wooden benches that he had made for everyone to sit down.
At this time, I heard a voice from outside the door, "Big brother, sister-in-law, we are here!" β
"Second brother and sister, come in and help greet the guests!" Zhang Dayu's daughter-in-law shouted at the door.
"Hey!" Saying that, a woman in her twenties walked in, also wearing a half-new jacket, thinking that she had just cleaned up at home, and there were towel-wiped marks on her face.
He was followed by three children, two of them were aquatic and aquatic plants that he had just seen, and the other was Zhang Eryu's son, who looked about the same age as Tian'er, with two big eyes and clever eyes, looking at everyone curiously, not shy at all.
Zhang Eryu's daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to greet everyone, and the little boy also had a similar salute to your mother, and everyone laughed happily when they saw him so clever.
At Ruoyun's suggestion, Haruka also stuffed a purse to this child called the level as a meeting gift.
poured tea made from bitter gourd dried at home, poured sugar water for Ruoyun and Tian'er, served fried peanuts and red dates dried in autumn, and the two women took their three children to the kitchen to work.
In the farmhouse, sugar is a precious thing, and the big fish daughter-in-law originally thought that children were afraid of bitterness, so she poured sugar water for Ruoyun, but how could Ruoyun like to drink sugar water, it was better to make tea with bitter gourd.
Although it is a little bitter, it also has a different taste, and the most important thing is that it is good for the body.
Let Qiu Ye help him change the bitter gourd tea, and then let Qiu Feng bring his bowl of sugar water to the three children of the Zhang family to drink. It's a rarity for them, too.
Tian'er originally planned to drink sugar water, but when he saw that his sister changed the tea, he had to change it too, and Ruoyun didn't persuade him, as long as he tried it, he would have a deep understanding.
Qiu Feng went out with two bowls of sugar water, and Ruoyun watched Tian'er crying and drinking bitter gourd tea with a smile on the side. But Tian'er can be regarded as having perseverance, and he drank a bowl of water in small sips, and there was nothing left. Ruoyun is proud of his five-year-old brother from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Dayu and Zhang Eryu accompanied everyone to drink tea and chat, Chu Ziheng and Yin Zhen asked some questions about people's livelihood from time to time, and some things about customs and customs, and then they all kept them firmly in their hearts.
Jiang Yurong also asked curiously, she is an authentic northern woman, and she is also very curious about the life in the southern water town.
And Jiang Yurong asked a question that everyone is more concerned about: "Brother Zhang, your name is Zhang Dayu, and your brother's name is Zhang Eryu, so do you have another brother named Zhang Sanyu?" β
"That's not there, but we have a sister named Zhang Xiaoyu who is already married, so she married to the next village!" Zhang Dayu replied seriously.
After listening to this answer, everyone suddenly realized, yes, in addition to being called Sanyu, they can also be called Xiaoyu, and they can't help but secretly enjoy themselves in their hearts.
As I was listening to their chat, I heard the sound of catching chickens in the yard outside.
Tian'er was curious, and ran out with the autumn wind to take a look, it turned out to be the three children of the Zhang family, who were catching chickens in the yard and asked, "Why are you catching chickens?" β
"Mother said to kill chickens for you to eat in a while!" Shui Sheng said innocently.
Hearing this, Ruoyun said to the Zhang brothers, "It's already troublesome for us to come over, don't kill the chickens, keep the eggs!" β
Zhang Dayu said happily: "The guests rewarded a few children with so much silver, and it is also appropriate to kill a chicken!" Besides, it was a rooster that was killed today, not a hen that laid eggs! β
Just now, the daughter-in-law nervously called him to the kitchen, and he thought something was wrong. As a result, the daughter-in-law took out the purses that Ruoyun gave to the children, and just by looking at the materials and exquisite Cheng dΓΉ of the purse, she knew that it could be worth a lot of money.
As a result, I took out the purse and looked at it, and each purse was filled with two silver nudes in the style of delicate plum blossoms, each silver nude was half a tael, and one purse did not add this purse, and the silver alone was one or two.
The three children are three taels, saving money, and can provide for their family for half a year, he was also shocked, he didn't expect these guests to be so generous. Immediately make a decision, raise the grade of the meal, kill a chicken at home, and then go to the village butcher's house to buy sliver meat.
At this time, the children went to catch chickens, and Zhang Eryu's daughter-in-law went to the village to sell meat.
When everyone saw that the Zhang brothers insisted on entertaining, they didn't shirk it, and when they left, they gave them more silver to subsidize them.
At this time, Tian'er and several children of the Zhang family were very happy to catch chickens, and he didn't dare to approach at first, and slowly began to surround and block the big rooster with them.
When he came back, he still had a chicken feather on his head, and proudly announced that he had caught today's chicken himself, which made everyone laugh.
Because they have to eat early, and when they have finished eating, they will go back to the city. So it wasn't long before the meal was served.
In addition to the main dish boiled small fish paste cake that Zhang Dayu said, there is also a large pot of chicken stewed dried mushrooms, and then there is fried white radish shreds with pork belly, and a big bowl of scrambled eggs.
Although there are not many dishes, the amount of dishes is sufficient, and just one small fish is boiled in a large iron pot.
The cake is baked brown and fragrant, and the small fish are boiled very deliciously, and the cake is dipped in fish soup to eat, which is very delicious.
There is also the pot of chicken stewed dried mushrooms, which is really made from local materials, freshly killed, and the chickens raised by themselves are fed with cereals, and the meat is very delicious. It is completely pollution-free, green and natural food.
Everyone was so addicted to this meal that Ruoyun ate a big cake with an eight-year-old belly. Mama Liu watched her from the side and asked her to eat less, so as not to accumulate food and have an upset stomach.
When they left, everyone cheekily packed the rest of the cakes.
The Zhang family was very happy to see that the guests liked it, and they were afraid that the guests would not be satisfied when they gave so much silver.
After coming out of Zhang's house and getting on the boat again, the Zhang brothers sent them to the place where they had been on the boat.
After getting off the boat, Mama Liu gave the Zhang brothers a purse again, saying that it was the fare to pay. Zhang Dayu refused, but had to accept it. After Ruoyun and the others left, they opened their purse and saw that it was five taels of silver, several times more than the fare, and knew that this was the money to subsidize their food.
The two brothers praised Ruoyun and the others, and then went home happily, with this silver, their brothers will save some more next year, and they will be able to change to a big boat.
Ruoyun and the others arrived at the place where the carriage was placed, and Xiaobai rushed out of the carriage.
It turned out that everyone went to swim in the lake, afraid that the carriage would not be seen, so Ruoyun left Xiaobai to watch the carriage. According to Xiaobai's previous cleverness, everyone is quite relieved.
Originally, Xiaobai was unwilling, but later he was coerced and lured by Ruoyun, so he obediently complied.
Ruoyun came back this time, Xiaobai came to Ruoyun angrily and complained, "Sister, you don't know, after you left, Xiaobai was sleeping in the car, and suddenly felt someone approaching the carriage, I came out to see, there was a man in white, commanding several men in gray clothes, to pull the carriage away!" β
"Oh, man in white, what's it like, did you say anything?" Ruoyun asked.
The man had a white face, and took a fan that flickered, and he said, "Pull the carriage away, and see how they get back in this wilderness." Well, that's what I think says! Xiaobai replied.
With a little white face and a fan, Ruoyun instantly thought of the brother of the woman who robbed them of the boat today, Wu Zhanyang!
"And then, you beat them away!" Ruoyun asked.
"They are so timid, I ran to the woods on the side, learned the roar of a tiger, these people thought it was a tiger coming, and ran away in fright!" The way of the little white disdainful shì.
"That's good, that's good, Xiaobai, you're doing the right thing!" Ruoyun praised Xiaobai Dao, she was really afraid that Xiaobai would be angry and kill these people, and if someone died, it would be troublesome.
"Sister, don't hurt people at will, don't use spells at will, Xiaobai remembers it, Uncle Xiaobai, I'm smart!" Xiaobai, who was praised, had a smug expression on his face.
Ruoyun didn't bother to pay attention to her stinky fart, and said to everyone, "Xiaobai said, after we left just now, Wu Zhanyang brought someone to pull our carriage, and was scared away by Xiaobai!" β
Everyone frowned when they heard this, they didn't expect that this Wu Zhanyang was really small-minded, and today was just a little friction, and he actually secretly took revenge.
"This Wu Zhanyang, don't let this girl see him next time, when you see him, you beat him once, and you actually make it bad secretly!" Jiang Yurong said indignantly. RS
