I returned home in a carriage, and it was almost time to eat. Bai Jasmine came out to the door to pick up firewood, happened to see the three of them, and hurriedly shouted.

"Uncle and sister-in-law have come back from the county." As soon as this voice came out, Bai Bai Qi and Niu Shi all ran out and enthusiastically went over to help get things.

Mrs. Li also came out to greet Bai Jinli, and asked her with concern if she was tired, if she had encountered any problems in the county, and if everything was sold.

"Mother, it's all right, you let us go back to drink saliva and catch our breath first."

"Yes, yes, come in."

"Second daughter-in-law, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pour water for the pears."

"Yes, mother, I'll go now." Niu Shi turned around and went to the kitchen, and it didn't take long to bring three bowls and a pot of herbal tea that had been dried in advance.

It's the middle of May now, and although the weather is not too hot, they still sweat after tossing back and forth for so long.

After pouring two bowls of water in a row, Bai Jinli felt that she was relieved.

"Mother, the flower baskets and herbs have been sold. I used the money from the sale of medicinal herbs to buy rice, flour, and oil, which were the money from selling eggs and flower baskets. He handed the money to Mrs. Li, who looked at it and put it away.

"Good girl, you can still do it!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Bai Jinli nodded in response. She seems to have gotten used to being praised by Mrs. Li. "Mother, when I came back, I bought some pastries by the way, and you can taste them before you have eaten yet." After speaking, Bai Jinli gave each of the pastries she bought.

They took the pastries and ate happily one by one.

"I also bought two catties of meat, let's eat meat buns and soup noodles at noon today." Bai Jinli went to the kitchen, and Zhang and Niu had just come back, and they hadn't started cooking yet, so she made a suggestion.

"Okay." Mrs. Li nodded in agreement. Hearing this, the whole family was a little happy, because they could eat meat again.

With the experience of the last time, Zhang's re-processing pigs are obviously much more proficient. When stir-frying meat, Zhang's first refined the oil with fatty meat according to Bai Jinli's words, and then put the cut lean meat and pork ribs into the pot and stir-fried.

When they are cooked, take out the ribs, and then add some green peppers to stir-fry together. The stir-fried pork with chopped green peppers sandwiched in the white steamed buns is extremely tempting, and a bite is simply delicious.

If you can use freshly baked cakes to grill the meat with minced green peppers, I am afraid it will taste even better. Everyone was so satisfied after eating a meat bun that they couldn't wait to swallow their tongues.

It's good to be able to eat it, they don't have the luxury of eating too much at one time. After Zhang and Niu finished eating the meat sandwich buns, they began to make soup noodles.

The so-called noodle soup is also very simple. It is to knead the thin noodles that have just been kneaded and pulled out in the water, cook them, and then take them out and control them.

After making a new pot of soup from the pork ribs and broth, the soup is boiled over a fire, and the pre-cooked noodles are scooped into a bowl and poured over a large spoonful of steaming soup.

Then sprinkle the egg cake and leek chopped with the slices, and add a spoonful of oil and peppers. Perfect.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Old Man Bai was the first to speak.

"That's a must, this is a meal cooked under the guidance of my daughter, can it be delicious?" Mrs. Li snorted, still with a deep pride in her tone.

"Dad, mother, if you like it, eat more." Bai Jinli smiled and spoke. In the end, it was stained with meat oil, which was different from the coarse grains and wild vegetables they ate in the past.

After eating, everyone touched their stomachs with great satisfaction, and Bai Jinli was no exception. She burped as she pondered a question.

If she eats at this pattern, will she still be able to lose weight? Inexplicably, I was a little worried.

After eating, Mrs. Li went back to her house to hide the money, and Bai Jinli followed.

"Mother, I bought you a gift by the way when I went to the county today."

"What gift?"

"Mother, look." Bai Jinli took out the fragrant pancreas she bought.

"What is this? Square-shaped? ”

"This can be used to wash your hands and face and take a bath, and your hands and face are slippery after washing." After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she forcibly pulled Mrs. Li to try it.

"Huh? Really, pears, look. "It was the first time for Mrs. Li to use this kind of novelty, and she was a little happy for a while.

"Uh-huh, mother, do you like it?"

"I like it, this thing is so good, how much silver?" Mrs. Li put her hand under her nose and sniffed, smiling all over her face.

Not only is this thing good, but also because this thing was given by her daughter, she is happy.

"It's not worth a few dollars, mother, if you like it, you have to use this thing every day, you can't waste a piece of my heart in vain, I will remind you in the future."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely listen to what my daughter says." Mrs. Li responded with a smile. As soon as Old Man Bai walked into the house from outside, he was shown off by Mrs. Li, and suddenly his old face was full of unhappiness.

But Mrs. Li couldn't control the joy in her heart, and kept dangling beside Old Man Bai.

"How's it going, master, look at my hands, are they smooth and slippery? You come to smell it, isn't it fragrant? ”

"I know, I know, I know that your daughter is the best for you." Old man Bai snorted, but there was some taste in his heart.

"Hehe, Dad, I went to the county this time to buy you a gift." Bai Jinli looked at Old Man Bai's expression, couldn't help the expression of wanting to snicker, and spoke seriously.

"Well, what? And mine? Old Man Bai suddenly turned his face to look at her.

"How's that, Dad, do you like it?" Bai Jinli handed the small teapot she had taken a fancy to Old Man Bai.

"It's ...... For me? ”

"Yes, it was specially selected for you, how about it, Dad, are you still satisfied?"

"Well, it's not bad, yes." The old man Bai took the teapot and looked it up and down, left and right, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and his heart was already happy, but there was still a trace of dissatisfaction and blame on his face.

"Pears, this thing isn't cheap, is it? Why are you spending money indiscriminately, and it's not like there is no bowl for tea at home. Bai Jinli looked at him who couldn't close his mouth because he was happy, holding back a smile and saying accusations against his will, pretending to be tangled and talking.

"Dad, if you don't like it, then I'll take it and return it, the shopkeeper said, if you're not satisfied, he can return all the money to me."

"No, I've bought everything, why should I return it." Hearing this, Old Man Bai hurriedly put the teapot into his arms, hugged it like a baby, and refused to let go.

"You, you obviously like the things your daughter gives, why don't you admit it, it's true." Mrs. Li is the person who knows Old Man Bai the most, and she can't help but talk about him.

"Uh-huh." Bai Jinli looked at the embarrassment on Old Man Bai's face, and said with a light smile: "Okay, Dad, Mother, I'll go back to the house if it's okay, you can rest for a while." When Bai Jinli left, Old Man Bai smiled and spoke.

"Old woman, have you noticed, our daughter is becoming more and more sensible, and she doesn't like to lose her temper anymore, and now she knows how to give me things."

"That's what my daughter gave you for my sake, otherwise only I have a gift, and you don't, then wouldn't you be ugly? Anyway, the girl loves me the most, huh. Mrs. Li hummed and wanted to take the teapot to see, who knew that the old man Bai refused to let go, and said that it was specially given to him by his daughter, so he didn't give it to others, and the angry Mrs. Li hammered him several times, turned his back and went to sleep.

The more the old man Bai looked at it, the more he liked it, and finally he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and washed the teapot, took another pot of water, and went out with his arms.

In the old days, some of the people in the village liked to get together after eating and gossip, and some would go home to sleep.

In the past, when Old Man Bai didn't want to sleep at noon, he would go out and listen to what those people had to say.

Then he found out that it was nothing more than show-off or nonsense. Some people secretly praised his son for being obedient and sensible, and a good worker.

Some people say that the crops in their fields are growing well, and this year's harvest should not be bad. Some people say that the neighbor of one of their relatives gave birth to two sons, but they are happy.

There are also people who secretly boast that his family ate meat, and that his son was a boy in the county and came back to buy him something good.

In the past, Old Man Bai just listened to it, soured it, and didn't talk about it. But today, he suddenly wanted to show off a little bit as well.

"You know what? Isn't my son a buddy at the Tak Cheung Restaurant in town? Yesterday he came back and told us that he had been promoted to a steward, and that he had an extra income of 50 yuan a month. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Old man Bai took a sip of the kettle's mouth and spoke.

"It's still your son who has a chance, but my family can't, he only knows brute force all day long, and he doesn't let me go to work in the field, saying that he is afraid that I will be tired. Hey, the more I get older, the more disobedient I become. ”

"What a filial child." Old Man Bai continued to stroke his teapot with his hand.

"Didn't you say that taxes would be raised this year? Don't know how much grain to collect? Our life is really getting harder and harder, it's been a hard year, and I don't know how much wheat will fall next month.

“

"There's no way, it's fate." Old Man Bai sighed, raised his head and poured another sip of tea. He used to be low-key, but now he interjected several times in a row, and everyone suddenly turned their eyes on him and saw the small teapot in his arms.

Soon, someone asked.

"Hey, the teapot in your hand looks exquisite, where did it come from?" Old Man Bai was happy in his heart, thinking to himself, these people can be regarded as asking about ideas, but on the surface, they have a casual and casual face.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about? When my daughter went to the county to buy rice today, she bought me as a gift, and it was not anything valuable, just to drink water. After the old man Bai finished speaking, he successfully saw the expressions of disbelief, envy, jealousy and hatred on everyone's faces, and his mood was extremely comfortable in an instant.

How else to say that these people are okay and like to get together to chat and brag, it turns out that this feels really cool.
