Chapter 58: Makes Your Flesh Hurt
As soon as Cao Langzhong was sent away on the front foot, the guys who delivered rice, noodles, meat and vegetables in the county on the back foot came, and the people who came with him came to ask for the money for those beds.
The Cheng family looked at the half of the pork, ten chickens and ducks, a few large grass carp, and a basket of vegetables, as well as a bag of polished rice and a bag of white noodles, and they were so distressed that their faces couldn't hold back.
Some good neighbors deliberately came to see the excitement, "Yo, Yanping damn it, your family is really amazing." I usually look at the mountain dew, but as soon as this in-laws came to the door, they immediately let our big guys see the eyes. So much meat, you get a lot of silver, right? ”
Cheng Zhou's mouth was so angry that his mouth turned white, just the half of the pork, to say the least, he would have to pay more than one or two silver. If there are those chickens, ducks and fish, plus polished rice and white noodles, it will cost at least one or two more silver!
Li looked at Cheng Zhou's distressed, but somehow, she was a little happy in her heart. If this matter had been put in the past, she would definitely have been distressed, after all, the Cheng family's silver would belong to their second room in the future.
But now she doesn't think so.
After all, the two old things of the Cheng family are less than forty, and who knows how long they can live, so it is really hard to say who the silver will be in the end, it is better to eat and drink now, and you will also be able to benefit yourself.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one noticed her, the Li family sneaked out of Cheng's house and went to her parents' house.
She had to get her son back and let him eat some oil and water.
The guy who delivered the grain, meat and vegetables and the guy who asked for the money for the bed waited in the yard for a while, and there was no one who wanted to give money, so he said with a smile: "The things have been delivered, please settle the account with which of you is in charge of the money bag, we are still in a hurry to go back to pay the errand." ”
Cheng Zhou's wanted to say who ordered something to ask for money, but Cheng Xiyu kept secretly pulling her clothes behind her back, "Mother, give the silver first, don't let people see jokes." ”
Thinking of Old Man Cheng's face-saving energy, Cheng Zhou had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, so he asked, "How much silver?" ”
"Mine is one or two dollars."
"Mine is two or five dollars."
Cheng Zhou's eyelids jumped, he dropped a sentence and waited, turned his head and left the house.
Old man Cheng heard all the words outside clearly, and when he saw her come in, he cried, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you crying about!" ”
Cheng Zhoushi gritted his teeth and whispered: "What do you say I'm crying for, it's only been a day, and ten taels of silver are gone." Ten taels, our family chewed it for a year. ”
Old man Cheng was also distressed, but things were already like this, and now he could only comfort himself and spend money to buy peace.
"It's done, they only spent more than three taels, and the rest is the money for me to catch medicine. What's the matter, Lao Tzu has worked hard for half his life, and he still can't take a tonic of more than six taels of silver? ”
When Cheng Zhoushi heard him say this, he didn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart. With a sigh, he turned and went to the corner of the wall for a while, pulled out a box from the ground, and opened the lock on the box, in which were placed a few silver dollars, and some loose silver and copper plates.
This is all the belongings of the Cheng family, and the total is less than one hundred taels, which the Cheng family has saved for many years. But after returning from the Su family, the speed of this money was like flowing water, and she was so anxious that she was dying, but there was no way.
took out more than three taels of broken silver, and buried the box back, Cheng Zhou went out with the silver and paid the two guys.
The man took the money and walked away happily.
Those neighbors smacked their tongues again and again, saying that they had underestimated the Cheng family before.
Three taels of silver, it's not a small amount of money.
Cheng Zhou's heart was irritable, so he asked Cheng Lianxiang and Cheng Xiyu to close the door, and he went back to the house to lie down and relax.
When cooking at noon, Cheng Lianxiang and Cheng Xiyu didn't let anyone arrange it, so they went to the kitchen by themselves. After all, those have already been bought, so naturally they have to be eaten. The Cheng family lives quite frugally on weekdays, and they have escaped outside for a few months, and the taste of eating bran vegetables makes Cheng Lianxiang almost crazy.
Now that she finally has meat to eat, she naturally wants to be more positive.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the kitchen door, I saw several brothers of the Su family working in the kitchen. As soon as they came, the brother from the eleventh row of the Su family waved his hand at them, "Let's cook at noon today, you can rest." ”
The two sisters of the Cheng family couldn't get into the kitchen, for fear that they would make hands and feet on the meat and steal food and hide something, so they smiled and said: "You are guests, how can you do it, a few brothers-in-law, you just go and sit outside, and leave it to us here." ”
Su Shiyi waved his hand, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's all my own family, so I don't have to pay attention to that." Besides, we've seen your craftsmanship, it's really not good, just make some batter soup, this meat dish is in your hands, I'm afraid it's going to be ruined. ”
The two of them were embarrassed and their faces were flushed.
The Cheng family really can't do anything about cooking.
Seeing the Su brothers crowded in the kitchen, the two of them were embarrassed to squeeze in, so they had to stand at the door and not leave.
Su Jiu squinted at the two of them, "What are you doing here?" Afraid that we will steal it? ”
The two of them were embarrassed and hurriedly waved their hands, "Aren't we afraid that a few big brothers won't be able to find something." ”
Su Jiu snorted coldly, "Your stove room is so big, and the condiments are so different, what can I not find?" Why, could it be that you still have some good things hidden in your house? ”
There was a sneer on the faces of the two, they really couldn't stand Su Jiu's sarcasm, they were defeated, and hid back in the house.
Su Jiu sneered, "There are things that can't be on the table in the family." ”
Su Shiyi put a pork rib on the board, chopped it into a small voice, and said while chopping: "I didn't know what the fifth uncle thought back then, and married our tenth sister here." ”
The fifth uncle is Su Qinniang's father, and the tenth sister is naturally Su Qinniang, and she ranks ten in the family's daughter's family.
Su Jiu lifted the firewood and filled it into the stove, "Let's not talk about the past, now we have to give the tenth sister a good outrage, and then get this house in hand, so that the tenth sister can live in the future." ”
Su Shiyi snorted, "That's necessary, but don't be too anxious, we have to empty the Cheng family's silver first." Take this opportunity to make up for the two nephews, the two little ones are too thin. ”
Su Jiu said while burning: "Then it depends on your ability, you make the meal and eat it, they can eat more." ”
The bone chopping knife in Chef Su Shiyi's hand was crisp and neat, "Don't worry, keep it so that you can finish this meal and think about it." ”
It didn't take long for an enticing scent wafting from the kitchen.
When Zhou Zhou and Yueyue smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help but run to the kitchen.
The two little guys had already memorized all the eight uncles, and hung on the edge of the stove and looked into the pot, "Uncle Eleven, it's so fragrant." What is this made, it looks delicious. ”
Su Shiyi looked at their little gluttonous cats, smiled and took out two pieces of grain from his pocket, and handed them to them, "Come, first sweet and sweet, this sweet and sour pork ribs are not cooked yet, and then wait." ”
