Chapter 191: Show, Reveal
In addition to the pocket watch, Zhao Shanyu also brought back many novel seeds,
"Mother, these seeds are specially bought by me from a place called the seed shop in the south," Zhao Shanyu also explained to Li what these seeds he brought back were, "This, called cucumber, cucumber, is something that grows into long thin strips of cyan, a bit like our loofah,"
"This is cabbage, which is similar to our Songcai, but the length is good, and it can be stored for a winter,"
"This is a peanut, a restaurant in the south, a small fluttershy fried peanuts cost dozens of dollars, precious,"
"And this, it's called taro, and it's delicious,"
“……”
After saying the seeds he brought back little by little, Zhao Shanyu licked his somewhat dry lips, quite unsatisfied.
He didn't think too much about it when he went to the south, he just thought it would be good to open his eyes, so he didn't bring many things back, and he thought he had bought more seeds at the time, but when he got home, he found that there were still fewer.
Look, there are only a few of them, you know, the seed shop on the south side has dozens or hundreds of seeds.
At that time, the price of seeds was too expensive, and Zhao Shanyu was reluctant to buy more, and now he regrets it.
Li didn't know that Zhao Shanyu's inner activities were so rich.
After listening to Zhao Shanyu's words, her eyes lit up and stared at the seeds wrapped in paper, eager to plant them immediately.
But fortunately, the Li family still has some sense, knowing that there are many people in the city, and they must not plant here, and if they want to plant, they have to take it back to their hometown in the countryside and plant it in their own land to rest assured.
Zhao Shanyu went on this trip, and bought a lot of food, clothing, and use.
A woolen sweater that can be worn on the body, canned fruit wrapped in a thick cloth, laundry detergent and soap for washing clothes, facial paste commonly used in women's homes, and dozens of dollars can buy a thick stack of straw paper......
After showing the things he brought back with Li one by one, the time quietly transitioned from evening to morning.
The tired body made Zhao Shanyu reach out and rub his somewhat sore eyes, and yawned sleepily by the way.
Li Shi looked distressed, "Don't be busy,"
"Hurry up and get some sleep, I'll talk about it when you wake up," Li waved his hand and stood up from the bed, "It's time for the shop to open, I'll go ahead and take a look." ”
After speaking, Li went out of the door, and after closing the door, he went directly to the shop in the front yard.
And Zhao Shanyu saw Li leaving, he also loosened his body, leaned back on the bed, didn't take off his clothes, and fell asleep in a daze.
In the shop, the three hired guys have rushed over, and they are now cleaning the tables, chairs and benches.
Seeing Li come out, he hurriedly called the shopkeeper respectfully.
Li waved her hand and arranged for the three guys to pick up the vegetables and the meat to take the meat, while she herself went to the kitchen.
After taking the lo-mei that had been stewed overnight out of the iron pot, Li first soaked a pot of vermicelli in cold water, and then poured the bone broth on the side into it and boiled it...... After finishing the work in his hands, there was movement at the kitchen door, and Zhao Yinyan opened the curtain and came in.
"Mother, I'll come here," Zhao Yinyan saw that Li was struggling to carry the jar, and hurriedly reached out to take it.
Li handed the jar to Zhao Yinyan, and he reached out to wipe his head, opened the cabinet on the side, and asked Zhao Yinyan to put the jar in.
"What is this?" Zhao Yinyan was curious, and felt that the jar was still strangely heavy.
"The pickled duck eggs and pickled eggs brought back from home," Li propped up the door of the cupboard with one hand, "There are too many, and they have been marinated for a long time." ”
Zhao Yinyan......
Can eggs and duck eggs still be pickled? Zhao Yinyan, who had never done such a thing, was a little confused.
But looking at her mother's expression, Zhao Yinyan didn't ask smartly, and only honestly moved the rest of the jars of the same pickled eggs into it and put them away.
Because during the Chinese New Year, Li will work when he is idle at home.
In addition, Zhao Yu was on the side, and he unknowingly made several jars of pickled eggs.
At the moment, except for a jar at home, all the rest have been pulled back to the shop, after all, the Li family also made it with the idea of selling it for money if it was pickled.
"By the way, Yinyan," Li thought of Zhao Shanyu's return last night, and contacted the recent chaos in the city, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yinyan, "What news have you heard recently?" ”
"The wind?" What wind?
"No," Zhao Yinyan thought about the surroundings of her alley, and suddenly thought of what her mother-in-law Ma mentioned the night before, "Mother, my mother-in-law did mention it, saying that the boss of the pork jerky before had been escorted to Yangcheng County,"
Feeling that what she said was not clear, Zhao Yinyan also deliberately explained other information, "That family didn't sell the shop to ransom people before, and I don't know what's going on, just during the New Year, the family of four was all taken away by the officials,"
"My mother-in-law recently heard the letter, saying that everyone was taken to Yangcheng County and wanted to be conscripted."
Lee's ......
"But what else is there?"
Although this is unexpected, when you think about it, it makes sense.
After all, it is the county order who is greedy for money, and he can't really release the sufferer, so isn't it to make trouble for himself, this kind of thing, it is right to send people away.
Somehow, the Li family linked the recent atmosphere in the city to these things.
I thought of Zhao Shanyu again.
Yes, Zhao Shanyu came back suddenly, and it was a big night, could it be that there was something about them here?
"Side, it's nothing," Zhao Yinyan slipped a basin of water, wiping down kitchen utensils while washing her hands, "It's just recently, in a family at the mouth of our alley, the youngest son of the family suddenly came back, and within two days, he was taken away by the officials,"
Li Shi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "When is it?" ”
Frightened by Li's attitude, Zhao Yinyan said stunned, "Just two days ago." ”
Li Shi listened to the thumping in his heart, and intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with Zhao Shanyu who was sleeping in the backyard.
But she can't say it, because when Zhao Shanyu went to the south, to be precise, only herself, Zhao Yu, Zhao Shanxing, and Zhao Fuxiang knew.
The others only knew that Zhao Shanyu had left the shop, and as for where he went, Li didn't say that they didn't know either.
Seeing that the Li family looked weird, Zhao Yinyan was a little confused, and called out tentatively, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" "It doesn't feel like something is emotional.
After hearing this, Li quickly shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay, I just thought of the things on the side,"
"That's right, Yinyan," Li called Zhao Yinyan, "You can go home and rest if you're not busy for a while, there isn't much business in the shop, I'll be busy alone." ”
"Mother, where is it," Zhao Yinyan shook her head and refused, "There is nothing to do at home, I will stay and help you do the same." ”
That's where the same!
Li Shixin said that Zhao Shanyu was still sleeping in the backyard.
You must know that Zhao Yinyan stays in the shop every day to work, and she will go to the backyard house to sleep.
If you accidentally bump into Zhao Shanyu, it's not easy to explain.
What's more, the Li family didn't have time to discuss with Zhao Shanyu the specific place where he was going during the time he was away.
"Your mother-in-law, isn't she busy marrying her brother's daughter Zhang Luo recently, you have to take a look as a sister-in-law, go back quickly."
"Mother, I'm ......" Zhao Yinyan had to explain, and said that her sister-in-law was just an ornament, and she didn't have anything to do when she went back.
Li didn't listen at all, and stretched out his hand to push Zhao Yinyan out, pulling and pulling the person, and finally drove the person back.
As for Li himself, he took a breath, wiped his forehead, and continued to go to the kitchen to work.
