Chapter 28: Ready to go to the beam
"Who's making trouble?" Someone reported to the official, and the officials of the government came to arrest the person.
Mu Dongzhi quickly stepped forward and dragged Shen Kuan over.
Seeing that Wang Genzhu and Wang Tietou were covered in ashes and had injuries on their faces, the officials immediately took the two away for questioning.
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and some people followed to the yamen to watch the excitement.
"Shall I go and see it?" Shen Kuan asked.
"Don't look at it, let's go." Mu Dongzhi was afraid of provoking right and wrong, so he said to him.
"Yes, it's important to get down to business, we need to go to the blacksmith's shop." Shen Xiuyuan said.
Shen Kuan thought that there was still a carving on the basket, so he had to make a tool for engraving, so he went to the blacksmith shop with Shen Xiuyuan.
They typed tools in the blacksmith's shop.
The blacksmith was a slippery man, and he quickly built it, saying, "If it is dull, it will be sharpened on the stone." ”
Mu Dongzhi paid two more copper plates, and then followed the two brothers of the Shen family to go back.
After arriving home, Xiao Huang pounced over and pulled Mu Dongzhi's feet with his paws, and then hugged her legs with two more paws, opened his mouth and tore her skirt.
The excited little tail wagged in circles.
Mu Dongzhi took out the fresh meat bun and chewed it to feed it, so it was not sticky.
Still, when she made the noodle soup, it still came to lie at her feet.
Mu Dongzhi cooked noodle soup, and the three of them ate the fresh meat bun with noodle soup.
In the afternoon, the two brothers went to the mountains to cut bamboo.
Mu Dong Solstice is to prepare things to dye cloth.
The green, purple, and purple blue ones are each dyed with one horse, and the rest is dyed with their own cloth.
At night, they began to work, Shen Kuan split the bamboo strips, and Shen Xiuyuan and Mu Dongzhi scraped the bamboo strips.
As soon as he scraped two of them, Shen Xiuyuan began to engrave.
Lettering was always a big job, and he had to do it, so they didn't want to delay him.
The three of them helped in the middle of the night before going to sleep.
But Shen Kuan still went up the mountain alone, and he still had to go to the trap to hunt.
The next day, Mu Dongzhi went to the river with Shen Xiuyuan to wash the cloth after eating, and then set up the bamboo pole that Shen Kuangang had just cut back and dried the cloth in a yard.
Shen Kuan had already returned with two hares.
Mu Dongzhi said: "Big brother, are you going to sell it today?" ”
"Busy, I can't take care of it." Shen Kuan said.
They'll have to make baskets quickly.
Shen Xiuyuan said: "Let's keep it for ourselves to eat, rabbit fur can be used as a hat in winter, or it can be used as a scarf." ”
Mu Dongzhi thought about it, so he agreed to stay and eat.
Shen Kuan killed the rabbit with his hands and feet, skinned the rabbit, and then took out the internal organs.
He wanted to give it to Xiao Huang, but Mu Dongzhi said that the little milk dog couldn't eat this, so he threw it away.
He packed up the rabbit and sat down to make the bamboo strips without saying a word.
Mu Dongzhi pickled the rabbit meat with salt, green pepper wine and chili peppers, and then sat down to make bamboo strips.
Scraping bamboo strips is fast, but lettering delays the work.
Mu Dongzhi and Shen Kuan had already scraped a lot of bamboo strips, but Shen Xiuyuan had only carved a few.
"I'll engrave it too." Mu Dongzhi said.
Shen Xiuyuan said: "You better make grasshoppers first, we all do what we are good at, so it's faster."
Mutual cooperation can achieve a win-win situation. ”
Mu Dongzhi didn't understand very well, but Shen Kuan's explanation made her stunned.
Shen Kuan said that a wolf can't kill a tiger, but a group of wolves and tigers don't dare to mess with it.
Shen Xiuyuan: "......"
It's not a nice analogy, but that's the reason.
Mu Dongzhi began to weave grasshoppers.
At noon, Shen Kuan wanted to get up and cook.
Mu Dongzhi said, "I'll come." ”
Shen Kuan thought about Mu Dongzhi's craftsmanship, so he responded.
However, he offered to help with the pot.
Mu the winter solstice, wash the rice, and cook the rice in the pot.
Although Shen Kuan was a little reluctant to eat rice, he thought that they were not short of food now, and they still had to eat better.
These days have been a lot of oil, and he feels that he is not so hungry easily.
In the past, when he went up to the mountains to hunt, his eyes were always dizzy when he was hungry.
You still have to have oil and water in your stomach.
Mu Dongzhi asked Shen Kuan to burn the stir-fry pot on high heat.
Shen Kuan immediately filled in some more firewood.
After Mu Dongzhi put the lard in, he fried the ginger shreds, and waited until the ginger shreds were squeezed dry, and then poured the marinated rabbit meat into the pot in a hurry.
Immediately a flame burst out of the pot.
However, Mu Dongzhi quickly stir-fried the rabbit meat with a spatula, and the flames quickly went down.
Shen Kuan was surprised when he saw this scene.
What was the fire just now?
Mu Dongzhi fried the rabbit meat and filled a large bowl of water into it to boil, which just overflowed the rabbit meat.
Shen Kuan lit the fire, and Mu Dongzhi continued to weave grasshoppers.
After a while, the water in the pot dried up, Mu Dongzhi got up and turned over the rabbit meat, and said to Shen Kuan, "It's okay." ”
She sprinkled the green onion again, flipped it over, covered the pot and simmered.
Shen Xiuyuan was working on the side, and his saliva was about to flow out when he smelled the fragrance.
The dishes cooked by the little daughter-in-law are better than those of the chef of Zuixiang Building.
"It's time to eat." Mu Dongzhi said.
Shen Kuan hurriedly went to clean his hands.
Shen Xiuyuan was still unhurried, but the excitement in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
White rice is served with hare meat, and the life of the prince and minister is nothing more than that, right?
Shen Xiuyuan thought secretly in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the world could eat enough and wear warm clothes, he wouldn't even want to take the test to gain fame.
Guarding the little lady like this, isn't it good to eat fragrant and drink spicy?
After the meal, Shen Kuan contracted to wash the dishes.
Mu Dongzhi and Shen Xiuyuan continued to work.
Shen Kuan continued to split bamboo strips, Shen Xiuyuan carved words, and Mu Dongzhi made grasshoppers.
She has already made up a lot, and they are all inserted in the cracks of the wall inside, for fear that Xiao Huang will give Huo Huo.
When it was almost dark, Shen Xiuyuan and Mu Dongzhi collected the fabric that was hanging outside.
None of them would have thought that muslin would look better when dyed.
Mu Dongzhi put the cloth in the receiving room and came out to cook.
They all ate a little full at noon, and ate some casually in the evening.
and work with a lamp.
Mu Dongzhi asked: "How many days does the house have to be sunburned?" ”
"After we finish the work in our hands, we will talk about Shangliang." Shen Kuan said.
"Will it rain? Besides, the harvest is almost over, and I'm afraid I won't find anyone by then. Mu Dongzhi said.
Shen Kuan thought about it.
So, he said, "I'll go out and ask." ”
He came to the fortune teller in the dark and asked when it would be appropriate to go to the beam.
The fortune teller said that another day would be a good day.
Shen Kuan came out of the fortune teller's house and went to find Wang Gen to live with them.
Wang Genzhu did not refuse them, and the day was finalized.
Shen Kuan came back and said, "The day after tomorrow." ”
"So what do you have to prepare?"
Shen Kuan thought for a while and said, "You have to take care of the rice, and you have to steam the Hualien buns."
I'll go to town again. ”
Mu Dongzhi didn't ask much, thinking that he was going to buy firecrackers.
Who knew that early the next morning, a large pot of fish was placed in the big pot at home.
Mu Dongzhi knew that Shen Kuan had caught these eighty percent last night, and sighed a little in his heart, the eldest brother was really like a father, working tirelessly.
She thought that she was going to steam Hualien buns today, so she was ready to make noodles.
It's just that their family doesn't have such a big basin, so she had to distribute the noodles in a wooden bucket.
