Chapter 46: How Did They Come?
She pursed her lips and ended up saying nothing.
However, after she went back, she had a good quarrel with Wang Tieniu and said:
"Why didn't you think of this idea before? You have to go to Shen's house in the evening to talk about it, do you want to work for them for a few days? ”
Wang Tieniu was also weaving baskets, and when he heard his daughter-in-law's words, he immediately became angry, saying:
"Let me go to the beam when people go to the beam, why do you have to force me to sell baskets?
Now you have to let me go to the door, I can't afford to lose my old face. ”
He said as he reached out and hit his face with a piapia ring.
Seeing him like this, Tie Niu's family didn't dare to be angry for fear that he would beat her.
Wang Tieniu was already angry to death.
He learned the craft, but the basket he weaved just couldn't be sold, and he was blackmailed with ten copper plates last time.
He wanted to go to Shen's house to ask the reason, but he didn't have the face.
Anyway, the person who delivered the furniture has arrived.
Mu Dongzhi looked up and saw that it was the carpenter who came, and immediately said, "Brother Yuan, the carpenter is here." ”
Shen Xiuyuan got up to greet the guests and said, "Hard work." ”
The carpenter said, "Yes, yes."
Help me unload the door, I'll install it now. ”
Shen Kuan strode out of the new room.
Shen Xiuyuan helped hold on to the furniture, and the carpenter began to untie the rope.
As soon as he untied the rope, Shen Kuan pulled out the door and carried it back.
The carpenter looked at him dumbfounded, and said, "The eldest son of the Mu family is so strong." ”
Shen Kuan said indifferently: "What is this?" ”
He carried the door to its place, and brought the bed and furniture into the house.
Shen Xiuyuan was here to help, and Mu Dongzhi didn't have anything to do, so he went back to cook first.
She didn't eat the pig intestine she bought yesterday, but after washing it, she salted it.
She asked Dongmei to go to the back mountain to find out if there were any bamboo tips.
So, Dongmei and Zisu ran happily.
There are still a lot of bamboo tips on the mountain.
The two picked a basket and carried it back.
The rice for the winter solstice is also cooked.
When she saw so many bamboo tips, she hurriedly asked them to help peel them.
After washing the bamboo tip, cut it, boil the oil, boil the caramel, add the green onion and ginger to burst the fragrance, and pour the pig's large intestine into the pot and stir-fry.
Fry the large intestine of the pig off the pot, pour in the bamboo tip and stir-fry together.
She was afraid that the pig's large intestine was still too salty, so she put some water to boil.
After the salt had been boiled in the water, she tasted the saltiness and found that it was still a little salty, so she took out the soup and boiled it again.
After the salt taste is moderate, she collects the juice on high heat, pours in Chaotian pepper and stir-frys.
A delicious bamboo tip fat sausage is ready.
Dongmei happily went to the new house to ask someone to come back for dinner.
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan beckoned the carpenter to come to dinner.
The carpenter thought that there would be nothing good to eat in the countryside, so he could just make do with it, but he didn't expect it to be white rice.
Even at home, he rarely eats white rice, but he didn't expect the Shen family to be so unfathomable.
He hurriedly rubbed his fists and grinded his palms.
The newly acquired tables and benches came in handy.
They put the table and bench away, and Mu Dongzhi got some for the young man first, and said, "The fat sausage is a little spicy, you eat less and more rice."
This is egg drop soup, you have to drink some soup before eating. ”
"Hmm." The boy nodded and took the meal.
Mu Dongzhi brought a large pot of vegetables again.
Shen Kuan beckoned the carpenter to eat, and Shen Xiuyuan took care of Xu Qingyan to eat.
Mu Dongzhi was also about to go to the table to eat, but Zi Su went to grab her and said:
"Winter Solstice girl, you are young, there are some things I have to tell you."
"Huh?"
"Women can't eat at the table."
"Can't you?"
"Hmm." Shiso nodded earnestly.
"If you can't, then we'll get some food to eat in the house." Mu Dongzhi said that he took the big bowl and wanted to go out to get some food and come back.
Shen Xiuyuan greeted her and said, "Why don't you sit down yet?" ”
Mu Dongzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll get some food and sit in the house to eat." ”
"No, you come and sit with Dongmei and Shisu." Shen Xiuyuan said.
Mu Dongzhi shouted at Zisu: "Come and sit, Brother Yuan let us come and sit." ”
Zi Su hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down next to Mu Dongzhi.
The carpenter and Xu Qingyan were surprised, and ordinary women were not allowed to serve at the table.
The Shen family is not so particular, and it is good to sit and eat together.
The perilla never let go, and after eating a little, he said that he was full.
Dongmei said: "Sister Zisu, if you don't eat it, you will cheapen me." ”
She said that she hurriedly picked up the vegetables and pulled the rice, which made everyone cry and laugh.
After the meal, the carpenter went to Anmen again, and Xu Qingyan did not say anything about leaving, and continued to stay to help carve the lettering.
Wang Dapang and they also came to work.
Shisu and Dongmei cleaned up the pots and pans.
When Mu Dongzhi entered the house, the young man carried an engraved basket in his hand and said:
"This sister, that's what the son did, right?"
"Well, you're literate?"
"I know a little. Who taught you how to weave this basket? The boy asked.
"My husband. It's the best looking one. Mu Dongzhi pointed at Shen Xiuyuan and said.
The boy was speechless.
She turned out to be the family's child daughter-in-law.
Moreover, is she too confident in her husband's appearance?
However, the man did have a good appearance, unlike ordinary people from the countryside.
"I'll also engrave the words and bring things."
"You have just recovered from a serious illness, and you still have injuries on your body, so let's take care of your injuries first." Mu Dongzhi said.
"Don't make me feel uneasy." The boy said.
Mu Dongzhi saw that this young man's speech was different from Wang Dapang's, and he felt that this child must be a child of a rich family.
"You're still a patient, get plenty of rest." Mu Dongzhi is also very persistent.
The boy had no choice but to get out of bed and weave a bamboo basket.
Mu Dongzhi saw that he was skillful, the same as hers, and immediately asked:
"How can you make it up?"
The boy didn't say anything, this technique was still his own creation, and he didn't ask them how it would be?
"Who are you making this for?" The boy asked.
Mu Dongzhi said: "There is a master Wu who asked for it, and said that it was sent to the palace, so every bamboo strip must be engraved with the word Fu Lu Shou." ”
"Master Wu? But it's called Wu Yin? The boy asked.
"Hmm." Mu Dongzhi replied.
The young man's eyes lowered and he said, "Please don't tell my sister about me here." ”
Mu Dongzhi said: "Don't worry, my husband has already explained."
So let you heal your injuries quickly. ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Shen Xiuyuan again.
Shen Xiuyuan had Xu Qingyan's help here, and his speed was much faster.
Wu Zhiyuan also joined the ranks of lettering that night, and the three of them carved quite quickly.
Mu Dongzhi and they finished weaving all the baskets with words on the nineteenth day.
They began to carve the baskets that the king had made again.
Wang Dapang and the others made a total of nearly 500 baskets, all of which were engraved.
Mu Dongzhi told Wang Dapang that he didn't want baskets for the time being, and they could cut bamboo and weave it out to sell.
After Wang Dapang and the others took their wages, they felt a little reluctant, but they didn't want it, and they couldn't help it.
Mu Dongzhi saw that they were doing in full swing, and suddenly had nothing to do, and he was a little reluctant to go, and said: "If our family has work to do in the future, I will look for you first." ”
"Really?" Wang Dapang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really." Mu Dongzhi responded to them, and their spirits suddenly improved.
