Chapter 24, not difficult
When Zeng Rongzheng was dumbfounded, there was a scolding movement in the hall outside, and it was his grandmother Wang who came in.
It turned out that after Tian Shuilan said that after twisting her waist and moving the fetal gas, Zeng Chengchun was a little frightened, and sent Zeng Guixiang to call Zeng Rong's house before calling Zeng Chengqiu's house to call the child's grandmother.
And when Wang heard that Tian Shuilan was because of kneading her dough and twisting her waist, she hated Tian Shuilan's squeamishness and hypocrisy, and also hated Zeng Rong's ruthlessness, because she taught Zeng Rong two years ago, and Zeng Rong was doing it for the first two years.
Zeng Rong heard Wang's scolding, but remembered a past incident, the Qingming Festival after the eldest sister in the previous life was gone, the grandmother came to help them make green fruits, and the old lady scolded people while doing it, either scolding the dead eldest sister or scolding her for not doing anything, and also scolded Tian Shuilan for being squeamish, etc., because of this, Zeng Rong remembered that scene.
Isn't it just kneading the dough vigorously with your hands?
What's so hard about it?
Thinking of this, Zeng Rong quickly scooped water and washed his hands, Zeng Rong happened to be rolling up his sleeves when Wang came in, and he also stood in front of the board, obviously about to start doing things.
Rao is like this, Wang still glanced at Zeng Rong, and asked angrily: "You still know how to come back, I thought you didn't want this family anymore!" ”
"Grandma, don't scold me, I'm also making money for this family, if I don't move out to live, this family is busy all day long, can I earn ten taels of silver?"
When Wang heard this, he was moved, and came to his granddaughter's side, "Then tell Grandma, how much do you earn?" ”
"Grandma, my mother is lying on the bed humming, you should hurry up and see her." Zeng Rong had already finished rolling her sleeves at this time and grabbed the dough, she was afraid that the old man would see that she was a new hand.
Fortunately, Wang's attention was not on Zeng Rong's hands, and seeing that she couldn't ask anything from Zeng Rong, she glanced at Zeng Rong angrily, and then pushed open Tian Shuilan's door, and Zeng Chengchun naturally followed in.
Without the elders in front of him, Zeng Rong also relaxed, kneading his dough while listening attentively to the people in the room.
She wanted to judge whether Tian Shuilan was dead from the conversations of these people, and she also wanted to know if the two bandits were related to Tian Shuilan.
It's a pity that apart from hearing Tian Shuilan's complaints and Wang's abuse, Zeng Rong didn't catch any useful words.
However, she found that kneading dough was really not difficult, but it required the strength of her hands, and it was indeed easy to stretch her waist, so she was not sure whether Tian Shuilan was pretending or really twisting her waist.
In just over a quarter of an hour, Wang came out of the house, and saw that Zeng Rong was still standing in front of the panel and laboriously kneading the dough, "I'm going to die, you haven't finished it for half a day, be quick, don't look like a ghost, let me tell you, your mother has had a fetal gas these days, don't go out to live, just stay at home and take care of her for a few days." ”
"What about my money? I can now earn one or twenty wen a day by digging medicinal herbs, and I can earn ten wen by embroidering two silk handkerchiefs, and Granny Liu has begun to teach me to make purse embroidery two days ago, how much does it cost me to delay me for a day? This money must be deducted, or I will not be able to come with ten taels of silver, and you will clamoring to sell me. In order not to stay and serve others, Zeng Rong also gave up and reported his family background.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang heard her words, he pinched his fingers and calculated silently, she didn't understand anything else, but she still figured it out that this granddaughter could earn almost a string of money in three days, and she was an old man who was almost sixty years old and couldn't get a few strings of money in her hands for most of her life.
Therefore, she made a decisive decision, "That's it, you go and get busy with you, I've been diligent in the past two days, but I've said ugly things in front, if I can't see your ten taels of silver at the end of the year, don't blame us for having to sell you." ”
After speaking, Wang glared at Zeng Rong in disgust, searched around, and saw that there was nothing good, muttered a few words, and pulled Zeng Guixiang out.
Zeng Rong looked at her departing back and was carefully recalling the days when Tian Shuilan gave birth in the previous life, Zeng Hua interrupted her, "Eldest sister, you come to help me grind the bean flour, I can't do it, you don't need to knead that dough." ”
Zeng Rong knew that Zeng Hua was reminding her, so he walked over to take over the work in her hands, and Zeng Hua also washed his hands, only to see that she skillfully divided the big green ball into four small balls of similar size and put them into the steaming drawer, and then asked Zeng Rong to help her put the steaming drawer into the cauldron, Zeng Hua took the initiative to sit down and burn the fire.
After Zeng Rong ground the soybeans in the medicine mill into fine powder, Zeng Hua's rice dough was also steamed, but fortunately, there were only two sisters left in the stove room at this time, Zeng Hua asked Zeng Rong to take out the steaming drawer, took out a wooden mold that had been washed a long time ago, and began to teach Zeng Rong to make green fruits hand in hand.
This job is not difficult, the steamed green ball into a small ball of similar size, knead the small ball into a small circle and press it on the template, take it off after leveling it and then turn it over and press it again to the next template, the pattern on the template will go to the green fruit, and the final product is a round cake the size of an adult's palm, with the word "Fu" and the word "Shou" on both sides.
After Zeng Rong got started, Zeng Hua wrapped it directly with her hands, and the green fruits she wrapped were somewhat similar to the shape of dumplings, and the bean flour filling that Zeng Rong had just ground was placed in it.
The two sisters were busy for more than an hour to make the youth group, and the next thing was to make dinner.
Fortunately, Zeng Rong has helped Granny Liu many times in the academy these days, and he is no longer at a loss for cooking, and Zeng's rice is especially easy to make, and the more difficult iron pot stewed rice is made by Zeng Hua, Zeng Rong is only responsible for putting the washed vegetables into the pot to cook, no oil, and adding a little salt.
However, because Tian Shuilan said that his waist was twisted and he needed to make up for his body, Zeng Chengchun told Zeng Rong to cook a poached egg, and when the poached egg was about to be cooked, Zeng Hua took a handful of shallots from the outside, chopped them on the board, and put them in the pot.
Zeng Rong was already holding her stomach when she saw this, but she saw Zeng Chengchun come out and personally send this bowl of poached eggs into the house, and now she couldn't help it anymore, but it happened that Zeng Guixiang smelled the fragrance and rubbed it over.
"Second brother, you usually eat poached eggs like this?"
"How can I have this treatment, don't you know how I usually eat?" Zeng Guixiang gave Zeng Rong a roll of his eyes, thinking that she had asked a stupid question.
"Where's Big Brother? What does Big Brother usually eat? Zeng Rong remembered the two gruel he had eaten at this house.
"I said, sister, what's wrong with you? Aren't you cooking all the food in our house? Zeng Guixiang felt that something was wrong, and looked at Zeng Rong suspiciously.
