Chapter 35: Reward
With this money, Yunzhu first fulfilled Tian Tian's wish.
took her to the shop of the famous foot "Zou Ji Hoof Flower" and called for a hoof flower and asked for two bowls of white rice.
The hoof flowers are packed in a coarse porcelain sea bowl, and the pig's trotters are stewed very soft and glutinous, and the soup is snow-white. In addition to the pig's trotters, kelp slices and kidney beans are also added to it. Sprinkle a layer of chopped green onions on top. Two dipping saucers on the side. The dish is filled with nothing more than soy sauce, coarse salt, sesame oil and hot sauce.
Tian Tian's eyes stared at the meat, which gluttony made Yun Zhu feel sad, and she was really badly treated in terms of food. Hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, picked out some of the meaty places, and put them in the dipping plate in front of Tian Tian, urging her.
"Don't just look at the drooling. Serve hot. ”
Tian Tian will get up as he said.
There weren't many pig's trotters, but most of the Yunzhu were given to Tian Tian, and he only tasted a few chopsticks. If you eat it in the summer, you will definitely feel greasy. However, this pig's trotter is really well stewed, and I don't know how much time it took to serve it. Fat but not greasy, crispy and delicious. I didn't expect it to be just right in the weather of Layue. After eating it, my body gradually warmed up.
Later, she scooped up the soup and soaked the rice, and picked some kelp and kidney beans to eat. Later, I asked the store to add soup again.
When the two women wiped their mouths satisfied, as soon as they settled the bill, the meal cost thirty-three yuan. Where are they willing to do it in normal times?
Tian Tian patted his belly and said, "Mother, I'm so full, it's so comfortable." ”
"Gluttonous cat, you love to eat so much, you will have spare money in the future, and my mother will stew it for you to eat."
"Really?"
"What do I coax you to do?"
The two of them went out of the hoof flower shop, Yunzhu pondered how to compensate the Feng family, and if she gave the money directly, she was afraid that they would not accept it, so it was better to give some New Year's gifts while the year was over, even if it was over.
She went to the cloth village to buy a brown wool green cloth, and spent her two taels of silver, sold half a mouthful of sheep, went to the pickled meat shop to buy a preserved pig's head, and bought a four-color meat and vegetarian dim sum, and weighed some variegated threads. specially bought a ready-made embroidered eyebrow for Mrs. Feng. Then I went to the grain and oil store and bought five catties of flour.
There are all sorts of things, and the back basket is about to fit out. Not to mention anything else, half a sheep weighs more than 20 pounds. Plus flour, more than thirty pounds. Tian Tian offered to help, and the cloth and thread, as well as snacks, were given to her. It's good that you don't get greasy.
This homecoming is a very hearty one. Yun Zhu made a rough estimate, and in addition to these expenses, she still had about three taels of silver left. It is enough to wait until the end of the month to buy some New Year's goods.
The two went back to the house happily. Before he had time to rest, Yun Zhu brought a knife and gave half of the mutton to the Feng family. took the fabric and thread, picked some snacks each, brought the eyebrows, and the mother and daughter went to Feng's house.
Seeing that Yunzhu had brought so many things to the door, Mrs. Feng was already dazzled.
"Oh, Song Niangzi, what are you doing here?!" She hurriedly got up and greeted him.
Yunzhu smiled: "I bought a bunch of things, send some for you to taste." ”
She sent these things to the house, and Mrs. Feng was at home. Seeing that it was meat and cloth again, where was Feng Lao Niang willing to accept it, and insisted on not wanting it.
Yunzhu said: "I said to leave the recipe to you, but the eldest lady insisted on not to." Now that it's sold, we can't set up a stall. You also lost a lot of income, and you just sold the money, and I said that it was the end of the year anyway, and it was time to come and go. Thank you very much for your care on weekdays. ”
Feng Lao Niang said: "Song Niangzi, you are too polite. Take back the cloth and the meat. ”
Yunzhu waved his hand and said, "I still have the meat, and the two people in the family can't eat so much." The weather is so cold, just enough to wrap mutton dumplings and eat. Bu Mo, it's my thank you gift to Brother Feng, he helped me a lot before and after, and I should also express it. Besides, Tian Tian and I don't wear this color. Auntie, don't be polite to me, if you have any good ideas in the future, I will definitely need your help. ”
The two shirked for a long time, and finally Mrs. Feng reluctantly accepted it. Yunzhu felt a little better in his heart.
The thread was bought by Yunzhu for Xiangmei, she likes to make needlework, and she must use thread. In this way, the three members of the Feng family all gave each other courtesy.
Feng Lao Niang likes Yunzhu's treatment of people, and thinks in her heart, it's a pity that she is such a good person. There is nothing to say, a talent of Peugeot. The hands and feet are diligent, and they will come to things again, and there is nothing to say about tea and dinner. But why is life so bad? I don't know what her ex-husband's family looks like. Such a good daughter-in-law can't ask for it.
"Little lady, it's not easy for you to blame. One person dragged a child. If I change to another woman, I'm afraid I don't know what it will become. ”
Yunzhu said: "Life has to go on." Hasn't the eldest lady also pulled two children by herself over the years, but I haven't heard you shout a word of bitterness. ”
Feng Lao Niang sighed: "The bitterness is all in my heart. Like you said, life has to go on. When his father left, Ping An was not too small, and he could still help me do a lot of work. It's fine. As for you, you don't have anything to rely on. I know a little bit about your brother. The husband's family is just that, how can the mother's family be like this? ”
Yunzhu said: "Where do I know?" ”
"What are your plans for the future?"
Yunzhu said: "Work hard to earn money to support your family, I hope that one day I can live a good life." It's good that Tian Tian doesn't follow me anymore. ”
Feng Lao Niang admired Yunzhu's tenacity, and thought that as long as she had this tenacity, there was nothing she couldn't do. It's just that how can a woman be a man without her, and besides, she is still so young, and she lives her life so alone, isn't it a pity?
"Song Niangzi, if you can meet a suitable man in the future, I will be your matchmaker, okay?"
Yun Zhu knew that it was a piece of kindness from Mrs. Feng, and she also smiled and replied casually: "Okay." It's still the eldest lady who hurts. ”
The two talked for a long time. It wasn't until Ping'an and Xiangmei came back and saw these things at home that Xiangmei thanked Yunzhu generously.
The look of peace was a little faint. Yunzhu thought to himself, doesn't he like it?
Yunzhu inquired from Xiangmei. Xiangmei smiled: "Sister Song, don't be careful, my brother must like it." Don't you like to have something to collect? I know that cloth is not cheap at all, and it is a shame that Sister Song is so generous. I thank you so much for my brother. ”
Yunzhu said: "When it's free, you can also teach me to do some needlework." ”
"Okay." Xiangmei thought that Qiaoyu always asked her to go to Liu's house to teach her to tie flowers these days, although the Liu family was quite enthusiastic, they were somewhat uncomfortable. So she has a reason not to go.
