At ten o'clock in the evening, the entire Bai family's courtyard was quiet, Bai Mengdie closed the book, ready to count the money earned during this time before sleeping.

I don't know, I was almost startled, and I actually earned more than 2,000 before and after!

This is worth Bai Aiguo's salary for several months.

So in the real society of her later life, if you want to get rich, you have to do business, this statement is still very reliable.

It's hard to make a fortune by working for others.

Bai Mengdie was about to put all the money away, and suddenly thought that it was not easy for Shi Lei to be a porter for her this morning, and she should share a hundred yuan with him.

So he took a hundred yuan and prepared to go out of the room to see if Shi Lei was sleeping, and if he didn't sleep, he would give him the hundred yuan.

As soon as Bai Mengdie opened the door, she saw a person standing at the door, and she was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

Seeing that it was Shi Lei, Bai Mengdie patted her chest and said, "Why don't you learn to stand at the door of my room in the middle of the night?" Is it okay to be scared to death if people are scary? ”

Shi Lei looked embarrassed and cramped: "I didn't mean to stand at the door of your room, I just finished studying, and when I came out, I saw that the light was still on in your room, and I was about to knock on the door to let you sleep, but you opened the door......"

"Okay, I forgive you." Bai Mengdie handed him the hundred yuan in his hand, "This is the hard-earned money you gave me today as a porter." ”

"I don't want it!" Shi Lei was very unhappy as if he was insulted, "I'm your brother, it's natural to help you do some work, how can I ask for your money?" ”

"What if you're my brother? Brothers settle accounts, haven't you heard this sentence? Bai Mengdie forced the money into his hand.

Shi Lei didn't have Bai Mengdie to be able to speak, but it was right not to take her money.

He pushed her into the room with money: "Go to bed!" ”

Bai Mengdie leaned against the door frame and didn't enter the room: "If you don't accept this hundred yuan, I won't want you to help me in the future." ”

Seeing her eyes firm, Shi Lei thought about it again and again, and bargained: "Then you just give me fifty yuan, one hundred is too much." ”

Bai Mengdie still wants to raise the price for him, how can he be willing to do less?

Shi Lei said coldly: "Then I don't want a penny." With that, he turned around and went back to his room.

Bai Mengdie grabbed him: "I'm afraid of you, so I'll rely on you." ”

He turned around and went into the room and gave him fifty dollars.

Shi Lei took the money and said gently: "Go to sleep." ”

Bai Mengdie entered the room, turned off the light, and went to bed.

Shi Lei stood outside and saw that her window was dark, so he went back to his room.

Bai Mengdie lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while, remembering that she inadvertently kissed Chen Ziqian today, and her face was so hot that she couldn't do it~

Chen Ziqian didn't fall asleep, lying on the bed, smirking at the ceiling from time to time, today the goddess gave him her first kiss, and his heart was full of joy and turned over and over on the bed.

Finally, there was no need to go to school or go to the city to buy goods, Bai Mengdie slept sweetly in the sound of rain in the middle of the night until more than seven o'clock the next day.

With such a heavy rain, there is no need to work in the fields, and the old man and his family rarely have a day off, and the whole family collectively slept lazily, but they all got up before seven o'clock.

After Bai Mengdie got up and freshened up, the two families had breakfast together, and Tian Chunfang specially cooked a bowl of longevity noodles with three tender poached eggs for Bai Mengdie.

Although the noodles are sprinkled with her favorite coriander, the taste of Tian Chunfang's bowl of noodles is really mediocre.

Bai Mengdie ate two bites tastelessly, remembering the sour radish she brought back from her grandmother's house yesterday, so she went into the kitchen and took two sour radishes, passed them in water, and cut them into cubes.

Add dried chili peppers and ginger and stir-fry them in sesame oil on a hot plate, take them to the hall, and use chopsticks to pick up a little diced sour radish and put it in your mouth to taste.

Grandma's pickled diced sour radish is really delicious, salty, crispy and slightly sour, very appetizing, so I poured some into the noodles and mixed them, and the noodles suddenly became delicious.

After breakfast, Bai Mengdie and Shi Lei all stayed at home to study, the old lady took care of the housework at home, and the old man took the others up the mountain to pick mushrooms in raincoats.

Every summer, as long as there is a heavy rain on the first day, mushrooms, black fungus, lichens and other edible mushrooms grow on the mountain the next day.

The terrain of this rural area can only be regarded as hilly, so it is impossible to grow precious mushrooms like Northeast China and Yunnan, which are generally ordinary oyster mushrooms, and slightly more precious ones are chicken leg mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms.

These wild mushrooms are sold to dealers who come to the countryside to collect wild mushrooms, and they are purchased at a price of one to two yuan per catty, and those who can pick them can earn more than ten or twenty a day, so there are many people who go up to the mountains to pick up mushrooms after every rainstorm in summer.

The old man walked on their front feet, and the old lady walked to the door of Bai Mengdie's room with a vegetable basket on her feet, and said to her sturdy back: "Big baby, grandma went to the town to buy meat, you see what you want to eat, grandma will buy it for you." ”

Bai Mengdie put down the pen, ran to the old lady, and said, "I'll go too." ”

The old lady thought that a trip to town would only take an hour at most, and she would not be able to delay anything, and besides, it was her precious granddaughter's birthday, and she could do whatever she wanted.

So he agreed, called Shi Lei to close the courtyard door, and the grandparents and grandchildren went out together.

When she arrived in the town, the old lady took Bai Mengdie straight to the market, planning to buy some pork, soy products, kelp and other ingredients.

I didn't buy the fish, and it rained so hard at noon yesterday that I couldn't work in the field, so the two Bai Sheng brothers braved the rain to go to the pond to catch fish and shrimp.

The more rainy the day, the easier it is to catch fish and shrimp.

Because of the low atmospheric pressure on rainy days, the lack of oxygen in the water, the fish and shrimp have probed from the water, and there is a bait temptation, those fish and shrimp can't pull and jump into the net.

The two Bai Sheng brothers caught several big silver carp and some crucian carp and river shrimp or something, and ate two big silver carp yesterday, and there are still a lot of aquatic products left at home.

Bai Mengdie's ancestors and grandchildren just came to the market, and the meat seller who sold meat to Bai Mengdie's mother and daughter yesterday afternoon greeted Bai Mengdie warmly: "Girl, come to buy meat again, buy uncle's meat, uncle will give you a discount!" ”

Bai Mengdie smiled and walked over with the old lady and bought a pig's tongue, four pig's feet, a pair of pig's ears, three catties of pork ribs, a piece of pork liver, two catties of fine pork belly, and a catty of tenderloin.

Although Bai Mengdie is the most expensive part of the pork she bought, the old lady didn't say a word, just let the child be happy, and spend more money.

The meat seller said that it counted, and the price was really preferential.

When it was time to pay, Bai Mengdie insisted that she would not let the old lady pay, and paid the money herself.

The old lady smiled and said, "On your birthday, we should have paid for the groceries and a banquet for you to celebrate, but in the end, you invited us to eat." ”

Bai Mengdie said indifferently: "Who pays for it or not?" As long as the whole family eats happily. ”

The old lady followed behind her, smiling with satisfaction.

Considering that the family has a large population, Bai Mengdie went to another meat stall to buy a pig's tongue, four pig's feet, and a pair of pig's ears, and then went with the old lady to buy soy products and kelp.

Buy soy products and kelp, and then buy marinade.

Bai Mengdie decided to marinate some braised vegetables and taste them for the whole family.

It's a pity that the family that sells marinades in the town doesn't sell all the marinades, and Bai Mengdie can only settle for it.

Seeing that cumin chili powder and soy sauce were sold, Bai Mengdie also bought some each.

After buying all the ingredients and seasonings, Bai Mengdie was about to go home, but the old lady dragged her to the biggest pastry shop in town to buy her a birthday cake.

Now the life of the peasants is getting better and better, so in recent years, the pastry shops in the town have started selling birthday cakes.

Ever since there was a birthday cake for sale in the town, the old lady bought one for the original owner every year.

The old lady of this birthday cake didn't let Bai Mengdie pay for it anyway, so Bai Mengdie followed her.

The birthday cake was freshly made, and the old lady picked out the largest size of the birthday cake and specially told the boss to make more flowers on the birthday cake and look festive!

also bargained with the boss, and finally got the boss to promise to send a pound of peach cake.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the birthday cake was ready, the boss packed the birthday cake, and the old lady asked Bai Mengdie to carry it.

After paying, the old lady carried a basket of ingredients and peach crisp in one hand and an umbrella in the other, and took Bai Mengdie home.

Bai Mengdie tried to walk where there was grass, and the new sandals on her feet would not step on the mud on the soles of her shoes.

She was a little disappointed and said, "Grandma, why don't we even sell beef in our town, I originally wanted to buy some beef and come back to eat braised vegetables." ”

The old lady bypassed a puddle and said, "How expensive beef is, who is willing to buy it and eat it!" Unless it is the Chinese New Year, there is beef and mutton and hairtail fish for sale in our town. ”

Bai Mengdie thought that next week, she would bring two catties of beef from the county seat back to cook vegetables for the whole family.

When the two grandparents returned to the village, they met the villagers, who saw the old lady carrying a basket full of meat, and all of them asked the old lady what was the happy event at home, and bought so much meat back.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's not a happy event, it's our family's Fluttershy's birthday today, and Fluttershy bought this meat for us to eat." ”

The folks were all surprised: "How did your Fluttershy become so capable, not only can she make meat buns, but also vegetables?" ”

Who in this village doesn't know that Bai Mengdie was poured out of the oil bottle that the old lady of the Bai family was used to and didn't help, and she couldn't do any housework, so why did she suddenly know how to make steamed buns and cook vegetables again?

Everyone is unbelieving.

Uncle Niu's woman walked over and said with a smile, "Fluttershy is really good at cooking, and the cooking is delicious, and our family has eaten her pork belly!" ”

The villagers were full of surprise, Bai Mengdie, the child who said that he was sensible, became sensible, became able to make money, and knew how to respect the elderly, and he could actually cook!

It seems that this young man, as long as he walks on the right path, nothing is impossible!

The grandfather and grandson left in the envious eyes of everyone.

The three Cailing sisters and brothers wanted to take advantage of the rainy day to keep standing in bed, but Yao Cuihua rushed to the mountain to pick up mushrooms, and as soon as they went out, they met Bai Mengdie and the old lady.

The eyes of the three sisters and brothers all fell on the birthday cake that Bai Mengdie was carrying.

CRBT asks, "Fluttershy, do you have your birthday today?" ”

Bai Mengdie let out a cold "um".

CRINGT stretched her neck like a giraffe again and looked at the ingredients in the old lady's basket.

Swallowing his saliva, he asked, "Do you have your birthday at noon or at night?" Then my three siblings will come over to celebrate your birthday. ”

Afraid that Bai Mengdie would refuse, she added: "You celebrate your birthday every year, my sister and brother all participate, and it won't be lively if you don't go this year!" ”

Rainbow and Bai Wei all stared at Bai Mengdie.

The old lady said with a gloomy face, "Don't come to the three of you!" Do you want to celebrate Bai Mengdie's birthday, you just want to come to our house for a big meal! ”

The purpose was exposed, and the Cailing sisters and brothers were all stunned.

When she returned home, the old lady got busy and prepared braised vegetables on the stove at the kitchen door.

Shi Lei wanted to help make the stove, and was rushed to study by the old lady.

As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival passes, there are not a few days left before the college entrance examination.

On a rainy day, the air was humid, the stove was not good, the smoke was billowing out, and the old lady was choked and coughed.

Bai Mengdie hurriedly ran back to her room, picked up the fan from the bed, ran to the stove, squatted down and kept fanning the stove, and finally caught fire.

The old lady wiped a handful of choked tears with a towel, and said to Bai Mengdie: "Big baby, you go to study, grandma will come by herself." ”

Bai Mengdie kept the fire burning, and then poured the coal prepared by the old lady into it, and then said: "I have a whole day to study today, I don't care about these two hours, wait for me to boil things and then go to study, grandma just has to help watch the fire." ”

When the old lady heard her say this, she went to the vegetable garden with an umbrella to pick vegetables.

While the coal in the furnace was not completely burned, Bai Mengdie cleaned the pig's feet, pig ears, and pig's tongue that she bought, and the fire in the furnace had already risen.

Bai Mengdie put all three ingredients in a casserole and boiled them in cold water.

Then the grass fruit in the marinade that I just bought back was cracked with a knife, the cinnamon was knocked into small pieces with the back of the knife, the licorice was cut into thick slices, the ginger was loosened with a knife, and the dried red pepper was cut into sections and set aside for later use.

Braised vegetables need chives, Bai Mengdie found that there were no shallots at home, and she didn't know if the old lady would bring some shallots back when she went to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Forget it, anyway, the marinade is not complete, so if you don't have shallots, use garlic instead.

Bai Mengdie peeled a few garlic heads, smashed them with a knife, and put them for later use.

I went back to the room and found a brand new small handkerchief and washed it, and put all the marinade I bought back into the small handkerchief and wrapped it, and the marinade bag was made.

Wait for the water in the casserole to boil, and all the ingredients in it are boiled until they are broken, then take them out, and then add soy sauce, salt, sugar, ginger, garlic and other condiments to the casserole, and put them in the marinade bag to boil.

At this time, the old lady came back from picking vegetables.

Bai Mengdie is squatting under the eaves to soak in kelp.

After pressing all the kelp into the water, she stood up and said to the old lady: "Grandma, when the braised soup in the casserole is fragrant, you can put the pig's feet, pig's ears, and pig's tongue in the braised soup to cook, and I will go to read the book and wait for eleven o'clock to cook the food." ”

The old lady said lovingly: "Go ahead, grandma remembers." ”

Bai Mengdie went to her room to study.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock that Bai Mengdie walked out of the room and came to the kitchen, where the old lady had prepared everything for her.

The smell of braised vegetables in the kitchen.

Bai Mengdie took a pair of chopsticks, opened the lid of the casserole, and poked the pig's ears, pig's feet and pig's tongue with chopsticks.

On Bai Mengdie's birthday, grandma's family will give gifts every year, and this year is no exception.

Yesterday, when gossiping about homely things, the Tian family knew that Bai Mengdie had a birthday today, so Tian Laohan came with a big pork knuckle and a big birthday cake, plus a piece of fabric.

The old lady had just come back from killing chickens outside the yard, and when she saw that the old man Tian was coming, she hurriedly let him go to the hall.
