At this time, it was already past noon, and the Wang family and Lin Mancang, who went to repay the money, also returned.

Lin Mancang didn't need to say much, seeing that there was no chores at home, he carried a flat shoulder and a somewhat leaky bucket to carry water. Wang sat on the bench a little tired, but she was not tired after walking a few steps. It's just that the money borrowed before was suddenly paid off in one go. The big stone in my heart was unloaded, so I was suddenly a little tired.

"Mother, drink saliva first." Lin Baoru scooped a scoop of water from the pot and handed it over, this water was still when she went out, she boiled it and warmed it with the embers, thinking that everyone could drink something hot when they came back.

Wang breathed a long sigh of relief, she was not good at making family routines with others, but now she has been talking to people for a long time, so her voice is also a little hoarse. She took the scoop cut from the gourd, drank a few sips of water, and waited for a while to slow down, then looked at the few pieces of pig pancreas that Lin Baoru had just poured in the yard and still smelled fishy and asked, "Why did you pick up so many of them again?" ”

Lin Baoru was thinking about making pig pancreatic soap in her heart at this time, she remembered that when she lived in the countryside with her grandmother in her previous life, her grandmother would leave pig pancreas after killing pigs every year, and then smash it into a paste with caustic soda, and finally knead it into pig pancreatic soap.

When she was a child, no matter how dirty things were rubbed on her clothes, her grandmother would use pig pancreatic soap to scrub them. Even if she has a crack on her hand and face, her grandmother will scrub it with pig pancreas, and then wipe her face with thousands of purple and red oil......

It's just that later, the conditions of every household have improved, and there are all kinds of soap and laundry detergent on the market, and there are few people who make their own pig pancreas, and they may not even be able to buy them.

Grandma said at the time that caustic soda must be used to smash pig pancreas, otherwise you will not be able to wash your clothes. But in ancient times, what could she use instead of caustic soda?

If you can really make it yourself, don't say whether you can sell it for money, that is, if you can scrub and clean these cloths at home, it will be worth it.

She was pondering when she heard Wang's doubts speak.

"Mother, I heard my father say before that the owner of the company where he works finds someone to make laundry gadgets with pig pancreas every year, and said that the clothes washed with that thing are clean and fragrant, so I wondered if we could make some too."

Lin Baoru naturally can't tell the truth, but after accepting the fact of crossing the truth, she is always ready to say this.

She had thought before that maybe she was the heroine of this world, or God would give her a golden finger to let her pick up some treasure, or what inheritance she would get. When the time comes, she will always have to have a statement to deal with the doubts of others.

And the best way is nothing more than to push Lin Lao, whose life and death are unknown. Two bodies.

Fortunately, Lin Lao. Second, he used to go out to work, in addition to the town and county, he even went to other counties with the businessman. In the few farmhouses that can go far and go far, he can be regarded as well-informed.

Now, Lin Baoru said that he was listening to Lin Lao. The second thing is naturally reasonable.

When Wang heard this, he nodded. She sighed and said in a depressed mood: "Hey, your father can always name rare objects that we haven't seen." I used to hear your father say that he heard the head of the running merchant say that some people in the capital would wash their hands and face with bath beans. ”

When Lin Baoru heard this, her mind moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Bath beans?" ”

Seeing his daughter's strange face, Wang couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know the specific mother, your father said he hasn't seen it." At that time, he only heard people say that only the real rich and noble can afford to use bath beans, and said that all the women and young ladies who used bath beans were as beautiful as fairies. ”

"We don't have such precious objects."

Lin Baoru didn't know what the bath beans were, but most of them could guess that they were probably the same as the facial cleanser or shower gel in the previous life. Although she is not professionally developed, she has also studied cosmetic chemistry, and she does not find it difficult to make some simple handmade soaps.

It's rare that the family lacks everything now, and there is not much she can use.

Thinking of this, she was not only a little discouraged.

On the side, Cairu helped her rinse the pig pancreas and asked, "Sister, I've washed it all, have you peeled off the outer skin?" ”

Lin Baoru's thoughts were interrupted, and she turned her head to look at Cai Ru, who was called herself. She no longer thinks cranky, and her initial thoughts are just to make some simple soap to clean the dirty cloth.

She rubbed Cairu's head and said, "Don't do this, you can help the eldest sister burn the fire in a while, let's boil the lard first." After boiling the lard, stew some lard crispy vegetables, and let's have a good meal. ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Caihe, who was leading the hill to play, couldn't help but cheer. She ran to the eldest sister with Xiaoshan in her arms, raised her head and asked, "Eldest sister, can I eat one more piece of pork crisp?" ”

Lin Baoru nodded her little brain and said with a smile: "Not only can you eat a piece of pork crisp, but you can also eat a piece of dim sum!" ”

In winter, the days are short, and it is the time of slack farming, so every household basically eats two meals. Even Lin Baoru, a modern core person, can only follow the local customs in the face of a lack of food and drink at home.

Caihe remembered the bag of fragrant snacks that his mother and eldest sister brought back yesterday, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She has grown so big, she has never eaten dim sum, when she used to help her aunt do work and even take her three cousins, she had seen dim sum, crispy and smelled sweet, but unfortunately every time she could only watch her cousin and cousin eat.

Twice, she secretly pinched the dim sum pieces that her third cousin dropped on the ground to eat, although there were some teeth, but it was really fragrant and sweet.

At this time, the eldest sister said that she could eat a whole piece of snack, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt like a dream.

However, Caihe thought about it and asked a little embarrassedly: "Sister, can I eat half a piece today and half a piece tomorrow?" ”

Lin Baoru was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course you can, we have a whole bag of dim sum, and you and Xiaoshan can share two pieces." ”

When Lin Caihe heard that there were two pieces, she immediately grinned innocently, and she eagerly confirmed the eldest sister's words. Then he clapped his hands happily and counted with his fingers, "Two pieces of dim sum, I will eat it for several days......"

Wang listened to Lin Baoru's words and hesitated, but seeing the joyful looks of several children, she could only swallow the original plan back into her stomach.

She had thought about discussing with Baoru whether to send a few pieces of that snack to the Li family. After all, after confirming that her mother-in-law had gone through the separation, she was seriously ill, and I heard that she was not in good health yet.

She didn't want to get up to pay respect, but remembered that the Liu family was the second mother's mother, and her own Cairu had received her kindness at the beginning, so she ......

Before she could speak, she could hear Caihe rubbing Baoru's arm and confirming it in surprise.

Even Cairu, her eyes lit up, and she looked very expectant.

It's just that Cairu is calmer in the end, she looked at her mother happily and asked, "Mother, can we eat that snack?" ”

In the past, as long as there was some delicious food at home, my mother would let them send them to grandma and grandpa first. Even the rabbits and birds that the children in the village weave for Xiaoshan with wool and straw, if they are seen by the eldest aunt and say that they look good, they will also be sent by the mother to play with the cousin of the eldest uncle's mother.

Over time, they will get used to it, and if they have good things at home, they must not move first.

Xu is children's expressions are too sad, so that Wang no longer has a good time to talk about his original plan.

"Mother, you don't plan to send it to grandma, do you?" Lin Baoru frowned and asked.

Seeing the girl's somewhat reproachful expression, Wang felt a little guilty, shook his head and said with a smile: "Since my mother promised you to take care of our own family first, of course it will not be like before......"

As for that, what she said was a little vague, but she could also make Lin Baoru understand.

Lin Baoru saw that her mother seemed to have something on her mind, so she simply stepped forward and took her mother's hand and said carefully: "Mother, it's not that I'm stingy, it's not that I don't want you to be obedient and filial, our family has given enough." ”

"When we didn't split up before, forget it, no matter how difficult and bitter it is, our family is still full of hair and wings." Lin Baoru looked at the silent thin mother in front of her, probably because of her perennial labor, which made her eyebrows and eyes carry more vicissitudes and roughness than her peers. "But now that we're separated, I just want our family to live a good life. At this time, if you still want to serve over there, then I and a few girls, can we still have a good future? ”

"Mother, reputation is really not worth anything compared to living well as a family!" Lin Baoru saw that Wang's face was moved, and persuaded more seriously, "Besides, the eldest brother has just changed for the better because of the separation from that side, at this time, if you want to go back there, maybe the eldest brother will have to become the same as before!" ”

Wang was reminded by her before she came to her senses, she pursed her lips and nodded with some fear: "My mother almost committed the old again. Defect. After a pause, she seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Lin Baoru and said, "Baoru, you have a good head, talk more about your mother, and the mother of the province will think about it in the future." ”

Wang made up his mind and didn't mention letting the children see Liu's anymore, and the children's expressions became happy again.

Wang looked at Cairu and Caihe, who were busy again, and his heart was also mixed. In the end, she silently took the hill pulled by Caihe, and watched a few children get busy and have dinner.

Lin Baoru got Wang's assurance, and her heart relaxed a little.

She washed her hands, cut the newly bought fatty meat into small pieces, and scooped out the warm boiled water in the pot for everyone to wash their hands and faces. Finally, the fire was lit and the lard began to boil.

Fortunately, when she was a child, she saw her grandmother boiling lard. At that time, it was the time when she liked to be praised the most, so she often helped her grandmother work, but she knew that once the fire was too big, and a pot of fat meat almost had a mushy taste. Later, grandma also taught her to make a fire with a smile, and at that time, grandma always said that she didn't care about anything, and she could only learn it before she could ask for help.

So at this time, she can easily master the heat just right.

As soon as Bai Huahua's fat meat entered the hot pot, a puff of white smoke came out of the pot, and then the aroma of oil mixed with the aroma of meat wafted out of the pot.

Cai Ru and Cai He, who had washed the vegetables, trotted over with the vegetable basket, and the two of them looked at the fat in the pot gradually becoming transparent, and finally a little burnt, and then they all chirped their mouths.

Lin Baoru smiled and nodded the heads of the two of them, coaxed the two of them to open their mouths, and only after the two of them were chewing a small piece of lard crisp with a smile, she said: "It's a little greasy to eat puff pastry, let's wrap some up for a while and wait for the New Year to make dumplings to eat, and then leave some usual stews for use." ”

Cairu and Caihe, who were coaxed by the puff pastry in their mouths, nodded again and again, of course. Although they think the lard crisp is also delicious, the eldest sister says that it is greasy, that is, it is greasy......

Lin Baoru took out the fried lard puff pastry and dried it, and then took the oily man who had been scrubbed by himself a long time ago, and scooped the bubbling yellow and clear lard into the jar.

Probably because the meat bought was collected by the butcher shop in other villages, and there was no water-injected meat that appeared in the previous life, so the lard boiled out was more than Lin Baoru thought. At least in a small oil urn, half a finger high.

She carefully put away the oil urn, took the green onion under the fence, plucked the cleaned green onion, cut a few slices of green onion and threw it in.

The green onion is white and rolling. In the hot iron pot, it turned yellow and black in an instant, and the green onion was fragrant.

Stewed cabbage does not test skills, especially for their family who have not had a good meal for a long time, stewed cabbage with oil and pork crisp is a rare delicacy.

After picking up the stew, Lin Baoru cooked some thin soup and little water bud rice porridge, and warmed the last few cakes in the family, and then beckoned the family to come over for dinner.
