Chapter Seventy-Four: Habits, New Life
After counting the days, it has been six days since she entered the house, and Hua Ningshuang's frightened and restless heart slowly returned to calm.
Rou'er lives alone in the side room, as if nothing is happening, and she has never been afraid because it is a murderous house.
As for Nangong Dui, he never thought that so many rich businessmen had IOUs but didn't dare to ask for accounts, most of the borrowers were powerful and powerful, and used other people's money as their own small treasury.
Jiao Guwan, who is quite popular in the local area, matched him with a wealthy businessman, and he was still skeptical at first.
If you have the ability to ask for accounts but don't directly rob or steal, why should you conspire with others to do things, how troublesome it is!
In the end, he said that his wife didn't want to do things that had no conscience, so she had to trouble and ask for debts for others.
The two of them are divided into 40% of the huge kickbacks, Nangong Dui is 60%, he is 40%, and the brain worker is also very respectable.
Those who don't know really think that the disaster is because of a lot of money, but they don't know that it is a relationship caused by debt.
One of the wealthy merchants did not want a penny, but only asked that the debtor who owed him 5,000 taels of silver should be blinded in the eyeballs, and that his life would be broken after his legs were broken.
A few days later, the wealthy businessman who heard the good news finally finished speaking, everything went well, and gave the two of them an eight-tael gold ingot.
Sixteen taels is a catty, and eight taels have to have half a catty, which is very sufficient.
Due to the excessive workload at night, I didn't even bother to take off my clothes and boots when I got home.
Hua Ningshuang would wash his stinky boots with plenty of water during the day, and every day he had to change into a pair of clean boots to go out to ask for debts.
On this day, under the small tree in front of the main house, she sat on the small bench and bent down to brush his insoles, and then put them in a wooden basin to soak in the morning and dry them in the afternoon.
The water in the pot is lukewarm, and there are many petals in it that contain a strong floral fragrance.
Nangong, who was bored, said lazily, "The insoles are also made of delicate petals, sister-in-law, you are a tyrannical thing!" Wouldn't it be nice to wash it with water, do my brother's feet really stink? ”
"It shouldn't be very stinky, I help your brother take off his boots and wipe his feet every day. Wash his boots every day and dry them so that he can wear them clean every day. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to buy a hundred pairs of it and stack it at home, wear a pair and lose a pair, and wash it every day."
She smiled, thinking that her sister-in-law was a young lady who didn't know the hardships of the world, "I can only cook for you at home, help him with laundry, there is nothing to do, and it doesn't matter if you wash your boots." ”
Nangong Rou walked over and leaned against the tree and said, "Alas, Heifeng Village is still in a new home, and it's okay for me to do it." I heard my brother say before, sister-in-law you want to raise geese and ducks, I think we can raise two in the kitchen, such a big place, only cook vegetables, it's a pity. ”
Because she didn't worry about Hua Ningshuang, she didn't go out with her brother to ask for debts, otherwise she could have gone.
"Okay, I'll get some bricks later, and I'll make a place in the kitchen to raise geese." Leftovers that can't be eaten are poured out and let out to eat. ”
"It's a blue sky and a white day, sister-in-law, you shouldn't be afraid, right? Don't be afraid, I'll go out and get some bricks myself, and I'll stay with you if I'm afraid. ”
In broad daylight, she was bolder, and Hua Ningshuang replied, "It's okay, don't be afraid during the day, remember to buy vegetables and come back when you go out." ”
"Well, got it, then I'm out of the house."
When you buy what you need, choose to build a wall in the corner of the kitchen, put the stacked firewood aside, and then move it to the top and put it aside when it is finished.
Amber wanders in, mistaking it for her new home, and wants to get punched out.
The goose house is very low, not as tall as her legs, and the white goose can't grow so big.
"You still dare to go into the kitchen? If you have something to eat, you don't want to eat it, and you bite half of the good fish, and you will break a few bowls! Nangong Rou saw that it was angry, and turned into a strict old mother educating disobedient children.
Hua Ningshuang heard the sound outside, got up and went into the kitchen, and pulled the shelf, "Anyway, Amber has caught rats a few times in the house, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't dare to come to the kitchen." ”
After cleaning up at home, I only cooked food for two days, and somehow attracted mice.
Crawling into the rice bowl and stealing leftovers is extremely hateful.
The flower condensation that was cooking that day turned pale with fright, and Nangong Rou, who didn't even pay attention to ghosts, hid outside the door in fear when she saw the mouse.
"It's a good thing to catch mice, but it's not good to break the bowl, and if you don't eat it, you have to steal it, alas!"
She looked through the vegetable basket to see what she bought, there were cabbage and chopped chicken, "Rou'er, did you see the boss chop it for you?" It saves me a lot of effort and time. ”
"Yes, I've been buying it from him for the past few days, even the side dishes. We take care of his business, and he has to take care of us. ”
"How about a large onion left over yesterday, cut into slices and stewed in one piece? Add a little more green pepper and shallots, and it should taste good. ”
Nangong Rou replied while squatting on the wall, "I haven't eaten it, try it once." Hey, sister-in-law, before you married my brother, I couldn't explain all the dishes I ate. ”
Hua Ningshuang washed her hands with a scoop and said, "Rou'er, is what you said too exaggerated?" There's always a dish for you. ”
"It's not that my mother and those cooks do it well, it's that the dish itself suits my appetite and I like it. Cut the meat into large pieces, add some spices, add the cut vegetables and stew it casually. Because of the time, the meat becomes very hard and does not absorb the flavor. The eggs are all boiled, I never know, you can make egg drop soup to eat, I especially like the egg drop soup you beat. ”
"You can't buy more than what you like, no wonder you buy more than one at a time! I think the three of us can still finish eating after trying hard, and if we can't finish eating, we will get moldy. Hua Ningshuang took out six eggs and said to her, "I will try to make better food for the two of you, try to be different every day, but you can't buy more of your favorite because you like it." If you eat egg drop soup every day, you will get tired. I used to eat one kind of food all the time, but because of the ordinariness and a lot of food, I quickly began to dislike it. ”
Nangong Rou snorted, feeling that this was also reasonable, "Sister-in-law, what else do you cook?" Can I pick a few of my own and eat them? ”
"Roast goose, fish in sour soup, frog meat and beef, beef can be stir-fried or stewed, there are many recipes."
She stopped building the wall and asked incredulously, "Sister-in-law, have you ever eaten beef?" Cattle are good at farming, and it is illegal to eat them! There are many places where food is forbidden, and my brother and I have never eaten it. ”
Hua Ningshuang put the cut vegetables into a large bowl and said, "It's cut into pieces, who knows if it's mutton, pork or whatever." For large animals, it is best to count beef. ”
"Is it really delicious?"
"When your brother wakes up, we'll ask him to get a newborn calf, and I'll get you some beef to taste, and you'll know if it's good or not."
"If you are found, you will have to cut off your head, after all, cattle are different from other animals."
"Your brother robbed and killed, although the people he killed were not good people, but after all, he killed, which crime is forgivable? Rou'er, you are usually so bold, why are you scared now. ”
Nangong Rou's legs and feet were sore, so she slowly stood up and said, "My brother dares to buy it, but who dares to sell it?" ”
"Money can make a grinding ghost, and isn't it just a calf, so it won't be on the line. I believe your brother can handle it, and we will ask him to help me get it, even if it's a part. ”
"The calf that was born is about a hundred pounds, right? Get two catties back, let's try it. ”
After stir-frying the side dishes with a quick action, cut the onion a few times, put the condiments in the pot, stir-fry casually, and finally put the chopped onion down, add a scoop of water and start to stew.
She also did the fire by herself, and her hands and feet were very fast, but she was also busy.
"Two catties is too little, get one or twenty catties back, you can air dry what you can't eat, do you know how to dry it?"
Nangong Rou choked on the smoke and coughed a few times, and said, "Sister-in-law, the culture of your Qunfang country is really deep, just say something I don't understand, is it air-dried by the wind?" Same as drying clothes? ”
"It's just to cut the beef into strips, add seasonings, cook it, and dry it over a fire."
The more she listened, the more confused she became, and asked, "Then why don't you eat ready-made beef, it's troublesome to do so, isn't it?" Freshly eaten meat. ”
"It can be eaten for a long time when it is dried, and it will not become moldy."
