The countrymen do not have the rule of "eating without saying a word, sleeping without speaking", Zhou Dingxiang and Mei Duo sit together, gossiping while eating.

After knowing that the aunt and nephew were both continuing the work of the embroidery village in the town, Zhou Dingxiang asked, "Which one?" ”

"Caixiafang, Wen family." Meadow Road.

Zhou Dingxiang nodded and said: "The owner of that family is kind, and the embroidery business is not one of the best, but it is done by word of mouth, not the kind of stingy and black-hearted people." ”

Mei Duo said briskly: "That's it, so my aunt has taken over more than ten years of work at his house, and since last year, I can also pick up some simple handkerchiefs and purses back to embroider." ”

Although it is all small work, there are not many copper plates, but in the end there is an income. Mei doesn't want this money, let Mei Duo save it by herself, and now she has half a lot of money.

Zhou Dingxiang's face was full of envy: "It's so good, I can't do it, the needle and thread recognize me, I don't recognize it." ”

Mei Duo was close and said, "I'll teach you in the future." ”

Zhou Dingxiang pursed her lips and smiled: "That's a good dare, I will teach my sister two dim sum when I have the opportunity." ”

Mei listened and frowned slightly.

If the Zhou family marries a daughter, then this family affair is naturally the Gui family's high climbing, and everyone is eager to do it; If the Zhou family wants to recruit a son-in-law, I am afraid that the Gui family will not nod. It's not that life can't go on, Gui Wucai "returned to the sect", how could he allow his nephew to follow his old path?

Yang didn't perceive the deep meaning of the little sister's words, so when the two of them surrendered, they joined in the fun and said: "We don't have a girl in our family, and Duo'er doesn't have a companion when she is a child, it's rare to meet a little friend who is about the same age, and your little sister is so fragrant." ”

The second daughter responded crisply.

Gui Qiu worked as an apprentice in a restaurant for a year, and he didn't lose anything, knowing that there was little meat at home, so he avoided a few meat dishes and didn't eat them, and only concentrated on eating the shrimp skin boiled tofu.

This tofu is divided into white tofu and black tofu, which was not bought from outside, but brought by Uncle Yang.

The Yang family has their own tofu factory, and they rely on this subsidy to earn some hard-earned money during their leisure time. Uncle Yang and his wife brought their youngest son to the banquet today, and the eldest son went to the next village to deliver tofu.

White tofu is made of soybeans, and black beans are used for black tofu.

"Uncle's tofu is better than the tofu in the town." Gui Qiu said: "You can also taste the cloves?" ”

Zhou Lilac was the master, and the dishes were all made by her, and she had naturally tasted them before, but now she still listened to Guiqiu's words, took a pair of chopsticks, tasted them carefully, and nodded: "The fragrance is rich, delicate and soft, and it is indeed good tofu." Speaking of this, his eyes lit up: "There is still half a piece in the kitchen, why don't I take it with me when I go back?" ”

Yang only thought that Zhou Lilac really liked to eat, and said with a smile: "That half piece is less than a catty, what is enough?" If you like to eat, Ming'er and his uncle made a new one, and asked your eldest brother Chun to send you a few catties. ”

Without waiting for Zhou Dingxiang to speak, Gui Qiu had already shook his head and said, "Just let you taste it, what do you want to do?" The uncle's tofu is small, and the surrounding villages are enough to sell, so there is no need to send it to the town. ”

There are people in the town who buy and sell, how can the countrymen just intervene?

Although the restaurant of the Zhou family is not big, it has also been open for twenty or thirty years, whether it is meat, vegetables, poultry and eggs, or oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there are prescribed supply channels, and it has been cooperated for many years, and it is not easy to break.

Zhou Dingxiang only concentrated on the craftsmanship of the stove, and couldn't think of these things carelessly, but Gui Qiu wouldn't give the pole to it, and opening his mouth like that would only make Master Zhou embarrassed.

After listening to what his son said clearly, Yang understood Zhou Dingxiang's intention to bring tofu, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's it, that is, the Zhuang family is still mainly farming, but it is just grinding a few plates of tofu during the slack time, where can I send it to the town?" ”

Zhou Dingxiang said with a little regret: "This tofu is really good, especially black tofu, there is no town in the town." ”

Black beans don't taste good, and few families will think of eating them, and most of them are used to feed livestock on fertile land. I didn't expect it to be made into tofu, the taste is slightly harder than white tofu, but there is another simple and fragrant fragrance.

Gui Chongyang listened to everyone and didn't interject, but his eyes kept falling on the bowl of shrimp skin boiled tofu.

In the book left by "Dad", there are several recipes for eating, all of which are made of tofu, he didn't care about it before, but he didn't expect that the Yang family would have a mill so coincidentally.

Thirteen years ago, in the "Difficulty of Nine Dings", four people died in the Gui family, and two people in the Yang family also died, namely Old Uncle Yang and Third Uncle Yang. On Gui Chongyang's repayment list, the Yang family is naturally also on it. What's even more rare is that the kindness of the Yang family, not only has they not resented and alienated the Gui family over the years, but they have helped a lot. With this, Gui Chongyang also intended to be a good person and give their family a fortune.

A recipe can be passed down to the family, but when there is no ability to protect it, it is also the source of disaster. How to act, Gui Chongyang still has to think about it, but he is not in a hurry.

The atmosphere was just right in the east wing, and I heard a faint noise outside.

Mei immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up.

Just now, when he saw Mei Tongsheng coming uninvited and following Village Chief Du, Mei was scared, afraid that he would make trouble.

The atmosphere in the room immediately condensed, and the noise outside became more and more real, coming from the upper room.

Gui Qiu "Teng" got up suddenly and said, "I'll take a look." "Let's go out in a hurry.

Gui Chongyang could still sit still, and immediately got up to follow.

Yang Wu ate the chicken thighs and ate them fragrantly, and didn't pay attention to anything else, seeing that everyone put down their chopsticks, he couldn't help but be confused, and he had no brains. But the brothers of the Gui family all went out, and he couldn't sit anymore, swallowed the chicken in his mouth and said, "I'll go and see it too." ”

There were a few women left, looking at each other.

Mei gritted his teeth and said: "He must be making trouble, there is no one else, I will go to see him, what do you want to do?" After that, he also wanted to go, but was pulled by the Yang family.

"The gentlemen are all in the house, what are you anxious about? This is the Gui family, what can the coffin scoop do to be the master of the Mei family, and what can it do to the master of the Gui family? Yang said cheerfully.

Mei Duo's face changed beside her, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy when she thought of herself.

Zhou Dingxiang sensed that something was wrong and said, "What's wrong with my sister?" This must be someone who eats too much and goes crazy with alcohol, what's so scary about this? ”

Mei Duo is not good at talking about her own ugly things, and it is still difficult to feel at ease when she thinks of her future. Zhou Dingxiang scratched the back of her head: "If you're worried, let's take a look?" ”

Without waiting for Mei Duo to answer, Yang clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, let's go and see, what is the old coffin scoop tossing?" ”

*

In the house, there is already a mess.

Originally, there were two tables on the male guest's side, which was the East House, with one table on the kang and the next table on the kang.

Those who are old and senior are all sitting on the kang table; The younger ones of Gui Wu and Gui Chun's generation sat at a table underground.

Although the Mei family and the Gui family broke off diplomatic relations, there was Village Chief Du, and the second grandfather of Gui reluctantly greeted Mei Tongsheng and asked Mei Tongsheng to sit under Village Chief Du, which was secondary.

Mei Tong is stingy, not only to others, but also to his own family.

The Mei family has a lot of land, and the village school also has income, but there is still no meat on the table. Every time her daughter-in-law cooks a meat dish, Mei Tongsheng has to talk about losing her family for a long time. For a long time, the Mei family's dining table was full of cabbage and turnips. Du Shi privately bought sauce and meat to supplement her husband and son, and she had nothing to save snacks to satisfy her hunger, and the whole family was really short of mouths.

Although Mei Tongsheng is not good, he will not get along with his stomach. Seeing that the table was full, there were two main dishes, the fist-sized Sixi meatballs and the fat buttery fat chicken, he shook off his cheeks and began to eat, and the others began to move their chopsticks, and he had already killed most of the meatballs.

By the time Gui Wu poured a circle of wine, Mei Tongsheng had already begun to stretch out his chopsticks for the second meatball.

It's really ugly to eat like this, Gui's second grandfather is the main family, it's hard to say anything; Grandpa Zhang, a neighbor, was straightforward and said, "There are eight people at this table, and you have made two big balls yourself, so that others can eat them?" ”

Seeing this, Village Chief Du also persuaded: "No matter how delicious it is, it must be slow, don't choke, you are getting old in the end." Poor insight, your life has not been easy these years. ”

This sentence really speaks to Mei Tongsheng's heart. His own people know their own abilities, he and his second son are not good at farming, and they are half-baked when they read; The most promising in the family is the eldest son, who is down-to-earth and hardworking, can wait for the crops in the field, and has talent in reading, otherwise he will not be able to give birth to a good grandson.

But this promising eldest son was dragged down by the Gui family and killed, and his bones were gone.

"I'm miserable! My family's green pine is here, and I can't live so poor this day, I can't even afford to eat a meal of meat! Mei Tongsheng toasted the wine in his glass and hammered the table.

Second Grandpa Gui frowned, this matter is the Gui family's weakness.

Gui Wu had already gotten up from his seat and was about to come over to persuade him.

"Who doesn't know whose family, guarding more than 100 acres of land and crying poor, can't we live with mud legs?" It was Grandpa Zhang who opened his mouth and said: "Your family doesn't have a son, but there was a lot of trouble back then, even the ancestral grave of the Gui family was occupied, and the dowry of the Gui family's aunt and grandmother was also deducted, and the living could buy a few." It's been more than ten years, and the old story is recalled, what do you want? There is no such greed as a man. ”

This grandfather Zhang is the same generation as Mei Tongsheng, a few years older than Mei Tongsheng, he was a friend of Mei Tongsheng's eldest brother back then, and a witness to the "Difficulty of Jiuding" back then.

Mei Tongsheng was unskinned, and in shame, he lifted the table.

"Kill to pay for your life, pay off your debts! My son lost his life in vain, why can't I make trouble? If our boss is still there, there is a pillar in the family, and life will be up. Pity my eldest grandson, he has no father without remembering, he is lonely and pitiful, this is all the sins made by the Gui family, and they are all the sins made by Guiyuan's little beast! Mei Tongsheng stood on the kang, holding his neck up, and his face was hideous.

When Gui Chongyang and Gui Qiu came in, this was what they heard.

Gui Chongyang looked at more than a dozen guests on and off the kang, and everyone was silent, obviously agreeing with this sentence.

Gui Chongyang's heart sank.
