Chapter 16: The Strange Beauty of Thought
Because the jars are not enough, the peaches sent by the An family are washed and cut about 130 catties, just enough to put 40 jars, and the plums are cut and made later. Yang Cui and Wen are both good workers, and at about noon, they are all cut, pickled, and canned and sealed in the afternoon.
Yang Cui went to the village chief's house to return the knife and came back, and then began to kill chickens and cook.
"Xiao Cui, just get some food." An Dafu was a little distressed when he saw Yang Cui killing chickens, if it wasn't a New Year's holiday, who would be willing to kill chickens?
"Uncle, it's rare for you to have a meal here, and today I did another day's work, killing a chicken, let's beat the tooth sacrifice."
A rooster of more than four catties was slaughtered and cleaned up, and Yang Cui made chicken stewed winter melon.
Chicken offal is stir-fried with sauerkraut, and the taste is fragrant.
The fragrance wafted out far away, and the family swallowed saliva directly.
The next-door neighbor's gluttony was also hooked out.
Living next door is Lin Shikang's next brother Lin Toyota.
"Mother, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat." Lin Toyota's son Lin Xinbao was crying greedily.
"Eat, eat, eat, eat? Where is there meat to eat? Lin Toyota's daughter-in-law, Lin Wang, reprimanded her, and four-year-old Lin Xinbao cried.
Wang Shi looked angry and scolded in his mouth: "This slut, if you kill chickens, you will kill chickens, and you make it so fragrant, you want to make us uncomfortable!" Let our family be restless! How did jumping into the river not drown her! ”
"Okay, what are you scolding people for?" Lin Toyoda has difficulty understanding his daughter-in-law's brain circuits.
"I scolded her, are you distressed? Even if someone is divorced by Lin Shikang, it is impossible to marry you again. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Toyota was angry, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." ”
With a "snap", Wang Shi flicked his chopsticks and said angrily: "I thought I didn't know what you were thinking, let me tell you Lin Toyota, if you let me know that you and her are not clear, what happened, I chopped off the things in your crotch, so that you can't be a man!" ”
"You, I can't make sense of you." Lin Fengfeng drank porridge in three or two sips, and then went out with a woodcutter.
Wang Yuhe was still not at ease in her heart, thinking that she would have to keep a closer eye on her man in the future, after all, her man was happy with Yang Cui at the beginning, and when Yang Cui was not married, she also proposed marriage to the Yang family. Now that Yang Cui has no man, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not eat back grass.
Yang Cui didn't know that she was just cooking a slightly decent meal, which caused Wang Yuhe to lose her temper.
"Sister, you really have nothing to say about your craft." An Xiaohu boasted with a mouthful of rice in his mouth.
Several other boys in the An family also nodded again and again: "Good times, good times." ”
"Eat more if it's delicious, everyone has come to help today."
An Dafu was a little distressed: "Xiaocui, even if you earn a few copper plates now, you have to save a little, and the days will be long in the future." ”
Why doesn't An Dafu know that the food is delicious? But it's expensive! Let's not talk about chickens, Yang Cui also put oil and salt, how expensive is oil and salt! The oil and salt used for this meal is the amount of half a month's worth of settling down.
Yang Cui knew that An Dafu was kind-hearted, she smiled and said: "Uncle, I know what you said, don't worry, I will pay attention, no, it's rare for you to come here, you can't let everyone eat beans and eggplants." ”
After speaking, Yang Cui used chopsticks to clip a piece of chicken to An Dafu, and poured a spoonful of soup on top of the rice with a spoon, "The soup and rice are more delicious, uncle try it." ”
"Then I'll try it too."
A few boys from the An family, as well as the second and third girls, immediately rushed to fill the soup and mix it with rice.
"Well, it's delicious."
"Good times, good times."
"Sister, your cooking is so delicious, my mother will also burn our chickens like this in the future."
Wen glanced at his youngest son: "Where did we get the chicken for you to eat?" It's weird to think about! ”
"There will always be good days." Yang Cui said, "If the peach ginger can be sold, we can all make some money this year, and when the time comes, Xiaohu, you will all come to help my sister, and my sister will also make good food for you." ”
"Business is good, you can't eat like that." An Dafu said, "But if the business is good, our family will not worry about peaches this year, and we can save some money to give Xiaohai a daughter-in-law." ”
An Xiaohai's face turned red.
Perilla peach ginger is not only related to Yang Cui's future life, but also directly related to the life of the An family.
After the meal, Yang Cui took them to canned and sealed the products.
The An family is very serious and hardworking, and they are also praying in their hearts that business is booming!
Before An Dafu left, Yang Cui took him to Zhou Daniu's house in the village, his family has a mule cart, and he earns some copper plates to supplement the family by carrying passengers and pulling goods every day, An Dafu negotiated with him, and tomorrow morning he will use his mule cart to deliver goods to the stargazing building, and the round-trip fare is 18 Wen.
It took Zhou Daniu a long time to react, and he always felt a little unreal, until An Dafu gave him an advance payment of five cents, and he didn't believe it completely.
"My niece will give you the rest of the fare." Ontario-rich Road.
"Okay, okay, all the folks in the township, you can trust it." Zhou Daniu smiled.
Early the next morning, Zhou Daniu drove the mule cart to park in the yard of Yang Cui's house, and he helped Yang Cui carry the cans into the car.
"Erya, Sanya, take out the dried plums and spread them in a dustpan to dry, and I'll come back at noon."
"Got it, mother."
——
When the mule cart reached the entrance of the village, several villagers were already waiting at the entrance of the village, all of them waiting to take the mule bus into the city.
Zhou Daniu stopped the car: "You can still take one person, which of you goes?" ”
Everyone was surprised to see Yang Cui sitting on the mule cart, and there were thirty jars, and Yang Cui was still holding one in her hand.
"Xiao Cui, what are you doing with so many jars into the city? What's in it? ”
Yang Cui said lightly: "Eat." ”
At this time, Lin Niushi hurriedly climbed into the car, and the others couldn't come up if they wanted to, first, there was no place to sit, and second, the mule cart couldn't bear the weight. Originally, Zhou Daniu didn't want to pull one more person, but considering that there was only one woman on the ox cart, and he was a man, he was afraid of causing criticism, so he decided to pull one more.
Zhou Daniu drove away, and the rest of the people could only walk.
"What the hell do you say Yang Cui and the An family are doing? So many jars, what's in them? ”
"It must be yesterday's peaches, who has nothing to do with salt to wash peaches? Who can eat so many peaches and plums? ”
"They must have a way to get rich!"
"Go back and wait for Zhou Daniu to come back and ask."
……
On the ox cart, Lin Niushi looked at this pile of beautiful jars, and was very curious, there were rumors in the village that the An family had a way to make a fortune and took Yang Cui to make money, she thought it was a rumor, and now it seems likely to be true.
"Xiao Cui, what do you have in this jar? The jar looks weird and good-looking. ”
Yang Cui didn't expect Lin Niu's clan to talk to him, Lin Niu's clan was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin patriarch, and one of the people who forced Yang Cui to leave the Lin family that day.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Yang Cui's tone is not very good, her relationship with the Lin family is already like this, there is no need to be vain.
Lin Niu choked.
scolded Yang Cui in his heart.
