Chapter 12 Mi Shaodong rubs rice
While bowing to An Xiucai, he said loudly: "Thank you Uncle An for inviting you to dinner." ”
An Xiucai was puzzled, and he didn't know which tendon this leather shop Shaodong was wrong?
I and Nizi are about to run out of cooking, where do we have the spare energy to invite this Shaodong to dinner?
Hongdou came out and pulled her father into the house.
In the dilapidated house, the aroma of rice mixed with pork suddenly came to the nose.
An Xiucai has a feeling of dreaming.
This kind of aroma can only be smelled once when he is a child, when he is a child.
"This ......"
Mi Houjun smiled again: "Uncle An, Hongdou went to the town today to sell a large cart of firewood. ”
"I have to pay for these things, you have to invite me, you see this...... Thank you, thank you! ”
Hongdou glared at him: Less oily here.
Mi Houjun winked at her quietly: Don't scare the old man.
As soon as An Xiucai heard that these good things were bought with money from the sale of red beans for firewood, he was happy and distressed.
Happily, I didn't expect that Hongdou was even more capable than a son.
What hurts me is that this snow-white fragrant rice is hungry for pork belly......
If you get money, you can do it like this, how can you get by?
In front of this Mi Shaodong, it's not good to complain about Nizi.
had to be pulled by Nizi, trembling and sitting on the broken pudun.
There are no extra pots and pots at home.
Red Beans can only clean a small clay basin where they wash their faces, and fill it with rice.
Place the cooked pork directly in the pot.
In pork, except for salt, her family really has no vegetable condiments to add.
Red beans come and go, and you can only put a handful of dried lentils.
There were only two pairs of chopsticks, and the red beans were served first, so that Mi Shaodong and her father could eat first.
Mi Houjun was also not polite, and only slightly let An Xiucai.
In general, with a rice bowl, I went to the pot to sandwich meat, dried lentils, and ate with relish.
Poor An Xiucai has not eaten rice or pork for I don't know how many years.
picked up the rice bowl, and was reluctant to pull the snow-white rice grains into his mouth.
Red Bean had already taken a spatula full of meat and piled it up at the head of his bowl.
He said to him, "Dad, eat, eat." ”
An Xiucai saw that the red beans were not eaten, so she stuffed the bowl into her daughter's hand.
"Nier, you eat first, Daddy isn't hungry yet."
Hongdou smiled: "Dad, don't be like this, you see that there is a lot of rice in this pot and meat in the pot." ”
"You just have to eat, and you're done."
He pointed to the two remaining pieces of baked bread and said, "I just ate a piece of baked cake, and I am not hungry." ”
An Xiucai had to pick up the bowl and eat it slowly.
Mi Houjun quickly ate two bowls of rice.
Hongdou saw that although he had eaten a lot of rice, he didn't actually eat a few pieces of meat.
But the dried lentils that could barely chew were almost all fished out by him.
Mi Houjun put down the bowl and wiped his mouth.
said to An Xiucai and Hongdou: "It's very affectionate, I still have something to do in the shop, I have to go back." ”
"Uncle An, red beans, you eat slowly."
"I'll buy something another day, please please."
Seeing that An Xiucai was about to put down his job and send him off, Mi Houjun hurriedly said:
"Uncle An, you can eat by yourself, don't go out with me."
An Xiucai still had to put down the rice bowl in his hand and personally bowed and sent Mi Houjun out.
In Hongdou's heart, he wanted to send Mi Shaodong out with his father and say thank you to him.
But I don't know why, she still didn't move her steps after all.
The next day, Carpenter Wang found out.
The first thing he met every villager in Longshanao was to ask him:
"An Xiucai's Nizi, how much Wen was sold yesterday for a large cart of firewood?"
"I bought such good rice and pork, and went to invite the leather shop Shaodong to dinner?"
The king carpenter who asked was confused.
I touched my head and thought about it for a long time.
Shaking his head: "I don't have much money, good rice pork, did you buy red beans?" ”
People laughed at him: "Red beans want to be a stammering goods shop Shaodong, I want to be a little mother-in-law, will you see it if you buy good things?" ”
Carpenter Wang looked at the others, but he had a question mark in his head: Is it? I don't know that.
The red beans were empty, and I went to Aunt Chen's house next door to buy cotton wool.
She had almost sewed her father's cotton robe, and she was almost covered with cotton wool.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Chen saw her, but she pulled her face long.
Coincidentally, a few chickens got into the vegetable garden again and pecked a few cabbages that were ready to be eaten in the new year.
Aunt Chen also ignored the red beans, trotted quickly, bent down and picked up a bamboo pole.
At the chickens in the vegetable garden, shouting and shouting, it was a flurry of fluttering.
He also scolded in his mouth: "The dead chickens with plague are not enough to peck blindly all year round." ”
"I'll fade your hair and stew you in a pot."
Another stick hit their flower dog: "It's useless to call you!" ”
The flower dog was inexplicably beaten with a stick, barked in pain, and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Hongdou listened to Aunt Chen's ridiculous scolding, so he said: "Aunt Chen, you scold them, but they don't understand." ”
"It may be that the fence of the vegetable garden is broken, just ask Uncle Chen to make up for it."
Aunt Chen sneered: "The one who cut off his head to death can't buy white rice or pork with a load of firewood every day." ”
"If you ask him to do something at home, it's like asking him to die."
Hongdou saw her talking with a gun and a stick, and didn't understand what the truth was?
Thinking that Aunt Chen is usually okay, she pretended to be confused and didn't want to buy it.
smiled: "Auntie, I told you the day before yesterday to buy two catties of cotton wool with you......"
didn't finish a sentence, Aunt Chen had a tense face.
Explosively said in a loud voice: "No, no, I don't have cotton wool to sell you." ”
After saying that, he ignored the red beans and turned around to go into the house.
Red Bean was stunned at the time.
couldn't help but ask loudly: "Aunt Chen, how can you tell me that you have no cotton wool?" ”
When Aunt Chen heard Hongdou arguing with her, she simply turned her face.
looked at the red bean, and shouted in a straight voice:
"What good things can we sell to you?"
"Didn't you find a good owner? and white rice to eat, and pork to eat. ”
"I also took a large piece of snowflake silver for you to Aunt Fang, are you still afraid that there will be no cotton wool?"
Hongdou was really shocked by Mrs. Chen's inexplicable and wonderful arguments.
I couldn't help but argue: "That's the white rice and pork I bought by myself after selling firewood......"
Aunt Chen sneered: "Red Bean, who are you coaxing?" When we're all fools like your father? ”
"Just the firewood that you and Xiaohuzi chopped, how many pennies can you sell? Enough for you to buy that stuff? ”
For a while, Hongdou was gagged by Aunt Chen's words.
I had to avoid the important and said lightly: "Aunt Chen, who did you listen to chewing your tongue?" ”
"Yes, Mi Shaodong repaid Ye Langzhong's consultation fee for Aunt Fang."
"But that's when he pawned the big tiger to work for him, what does it have to do with me?"
Aunt Chen clapped her hands and said, "Oh, who doesn't know that you want to be a little woman in a leather shop." ”
"It's not me saying you, red bean, you don't want to give it to one family."
"With the benefits, it also gives us all a little bit of evenness."
"People should know what to do, you fell into Linglong Pond, but I took ginger brown sugar and poured it on you."
"What kind of kindness does Aunt Fang have for you? But it fell on such a big benefit? ”
At this moment, Hongdou figured it out in his heart.
I really underestimated the neighbors in Longshan Pass.
None of them seem to be fuel-efficient lamps.
is like this Aunt Chen, who used to think that she had sharp teeth and spoke harshly.
Now she's really getting it.
It's obviously unreasonable, but when it comes to her mouth, it completely changes its taste.
Hongdou was angry and ridiculous in his heart.
But Aunt Chen is not Butcher Zhang and Xing.
You can't just catch her and beat her because she is unreasonable.
Hongdou didn't want to have these idle things with Aunt Chen for no reason, so she expected to tell her something.
simply softened her voice: "Aunt Chen, you don't have cotton wool, forget it, why do you say so much?" ”
"Who's going to do what, little mother-in-law? I'm not uncommon with a big mother-in-law! ”
After saying that, turn around and leave.
When Aunt Chen saw Hongdou leaving, she didn't argue with her very much.
He sneered even louder: "Oh, look at what you can." ”
"You are a girl who has been divorced, you have to be tighter if you can be a little wife for a rich Shaodong......"
had an unreasonable idleness, and Hongdou was really a little depressed.
An Xiucai arrived home and saw her own Nizi with an angry look on her face.
I was frightened, so I asked cautiously: "Red Bean, is this ...... Who did you fight with? ”
Red Bean laughed "poof".
told her father about Aunt Chen's ridiculous shouting.
An Xiucai sighed: "A family is warm and a thousand families are resentful, otherwise, I'll dig a bowl of white rice and send it to her family." ”
Hongdou immediately said: "No, they are bullying people." ”
"Uncle opened such a big mountain goods shop in the town, and built a number of tiled houses behind it."
"The second uncle also has a shop in the town, and there are more than a dozen acres of good mountain fields at home."
"If you want to talk about warmth, who can be more warm than them in this Longshan Pass?"
"Why don't Aunt Chen dare to quarrel with them?"
An Xiucai looked at Hongdou in surprise and sighed, "Nier, how can you talk like this?" ”
Hongdou said angrily: "Dad, you are used to being bullied by them." ”
"I don't believe it, are we born to be poor?"
"After eating a meal of white rice and pork, it becomes ungrateful, I don't know what to do?"
"I want to eat white rice and pork, but also eat better than this."
One day later, Hongdou found that there was still less white rice in the cloth bag.
It was expected that her father secretly dug it up and gave it to Aunt Chen to make amends.
Seeing that Mi Houjun was free, Hongdou walked to the shop.
said to him: "Mi Shaodong, please don't take anything from my house in the future." ”
Mi Houjun, who was keeping accounts, smiled without raising his head: "Red Bean, didn't you say that you are not afraid?" ”
Hongdou said briefly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's troublesome." ”
Meaning, her family cooks too little.
Dahuzi, who was picking up the skin, suddenly said: "Sister Hongdou, don't blame Shaodong. ”
"At dinner that day, Shaodong asked my mother and Xiaocao to eat."
Mi Houjun glared at Da Huzi: "Do your job." ”
Divergently, he said to Hongdou: "Hongdou, I want to take time to go to the mountain, would you like to accompany me?" ”
Hongdou immediately asked, "What is Shaodong doing up the mountain?" ”
Influenced by her father, Hongdou has an instinctive fear of Linglong Mountain in her heart.
Just like these days, she knows that there is a backer to eat the mountain.
I just can't muster up the courage to go to the mountains and see what can give birth to money.
In the end, he could only work with Xiaohuzi to cut some unfinished firewood on a nearby hill to sell for money.
Mi Houjun pretended to be mysterious and said: "I heard the Orion on the mountain come down and say that there is a fairy cliff in the depths of Linglong Mountain. ”
"The people there are all in good health, and the old people live to be more than 100 years old."
Hongdou scolded him and said, "Shaodong wants to seek immortals? ”
Mi Houjun couldn't help laughing and said, "Why should I ask for immortals?" You listen to me slowly. ”
"I've also seen hunters who come down from the fairy cliff to sell skins, and their legs and feet are indeed stronger than those of other mountain nest hunters."
"I paid attention to it, and carefully asked those hunters who came down from the mountains, and they were all fed by the same rice grain and game."
"Later, I found out that it was only because there were many bitter-leaved trees on the side of the fairy cliff."
"The Orion family in that mountain nest, every family goes to pull a handful every day and put it in boiling water."
"If you are sick, you should drink medicine, and if you are not sick, you should drink wine, and you will drink it all year round."
"Red Bean, have you ever drunk tea?"
Red Bean said in his heart, I have also drunk coffee.
But he shook his head deliberately.
She had never seen anyone in Longshan Pass drink tea, so she didn't have a reason to drink it.
Mi Houjun hurriedly said: "I suspect that those bitter leaf trees may be some special wild camellia. ”
"Red Bean, I'll tell you."
"Those really good teas that were born in the depths of the mountains are worth more than gold when they are picked."
This person is worthy of being a businessman's young east, with a keen sense of smell.
Linglong Mountain Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and it is rich in bamboo.
When the red bean was still called Doudou, I once heard the geography teacher say it in class.
Wherever moso bamboo grows, it is suitable for planting high-quality tea trees.
It can be seen that it is not a strange thing that Linglong Mountain can produce high-quality tea in the nest.
Of course, Hongdou couldn't tell Mi Shaodong these things she knew.
However, looking at Mi Houjun who was excited.
The red bean who originally wanted to reject him changed his mind almost instantly.
The excitement of this Mi Shaodong also infected her inexplicably.
She suddenly wanted to go up the mountain to see it too.
Look at this exquisite mountain, in addition to the tea leaves that can make people live a long life and become immortals.
Is there any treasure that can make her and her father eat white rice and pork at once?
After thinking about it, he still asked, "Why didn't Shaodong ask Lao Yu to go with you?" ”
Mi Houjun looked at her and said with a smile: "I don't plan to let him know about this yet." ”
Because he wanted to go into the mountain with Mi Houjun, Hongdou made a pair of sturdy shoes for himself at night.
I chose a sunny day, and early in the morning, the two prepared to enter the mountain.
Mi Houjun entrusted the shop to the carpenter Wang and asked him to guard it with the big tiger.
Mi Houjun had a heart, and he had already inquired about the direction of the Immortal Cliff.
Seeing that Hongdou didn't bring anything, she carried her newly bought woodcutter.
Mi Houjun asked, "Hongdou, what are you doing with a woodcutter?" ”
