CHAPTER XXV

A horse with a plain color is suitable for men's clothes, and Aunt Wu can make clothes for her pillars and pillar fathers.

One horse is brighter in color, suitable for women, and can just make clothes for Aunt Wu herself.

As for the big wooden barrel that was bought, it was paid to the village chief's family.

It turned out that the borrowed bucket was kicked and broken by that strong man, so you can't return the broken barrel, right? That must not be scolded to death! And pull a hate?

What happened when you borrowed it, and what it should be like to return it back.

It's just that it's already evening, and it's not good to disturb the village chief's house, so Anxi decided to return the barrel tomorrow.

After that, Anxi helped Mo cook vegetables in the kitchen, and simply picked a cabbage mixed with white rice in the vegetable field in the yard to cook some cabbage porridge.

and gently picked up Xiao Anjiao, who was dozing on the table, and hugged her to the table.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk enough to warm their stomachs, Anxi washed the dishes and brushed the pots diligently.

After everything was cleaned up, An Xi didn't ink, turned around and locked the door of the kitchen tightly.

After all, there are now the most valuable things in this kitchen.

Especially today, the whole village knows that their family bought an ox cart.

There's no guarantee that no one will venture into the wall in the middle of the night to steal the things she has bought today.

Therefore, the lock is tighter and more secure!

It's night,

Every household closes the door, sleeps soundly, and occasionally hears the barking of dogs in the deep alleys, but it only stops for a moment.

The gloom of winter gradually faded, and the remaining wind blew the branches and leaves in the middle of the night, bringing a faint spring coolness.

Following.

An Xi woke up when Mohs turned over and got up.

When I opened my eyes, I felt that today was not as cold as before.

After Mo cleaned himself up, he told Anxi to remember to feed the chickens, water the vegetable patch and make breakfast.

Then he took a basket on his back, a hoe, and went to the field to pick potatoes.

In the early morning, with a slight coolness, the sun is gentle and not scorching.

As soon as Mo Shi pushed the door open, he bumped into Aunt Wu who was going out at the same time.

The two walked together, talking and laughing along the way, but they were also happy.

"Sister-in-law Mo, are you going to harvest potatoes in the field?"

Mohs nodded, and lifted the back basket up again.

"Yes, there are only potatoes to harvest, and you also know that those two thin plots of land cannot grow other crops, and only potatoes that are easy to survive and have tenacious vitality can be harvested."

"This whole family is also eccentric enough, this good land is tightly hidden and tucked away for the two sons, and these two acres of barren land are not good for you, it is also funny, that Erlang is not her own? Isn't that Yi'er her grandson? ”

Aunt Wu was on the side to fight for Mo's grievances.

As soon as she finished saying this, Mo Shi hurriedly covered her mouth.

He looked left and right tightly, and looked carefully, and saw that there was no one else around except them, so he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.

"Auntie, it's good if you say this to me, you must not say it outside, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth."

"There are a lot of people in this village who like to chew their tongues, if they are accidentally listened to by one of them, and then add oil and vinegar to spread it, I'm afraid we will be finished, and we will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River at that time." Mohs then said softly.

"I forgot, my sister-in-law reminded me right, I'll pay attention to it in the future."

And Anxi, after Mo's pushed the door and left, he also cleaned up properly.

Today she wants to make knife noodles because she is a little nostalgic and wants to eat the oily knife noodles from her previous life.

Anxi washed his hands and dried them, took out some flour into the flour bag, mixed it with some water, kneaded it into a hard dough, and let it rest for half an hour.

After half an hour, knead the dough again, knead it smoothly and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Only then use a rolling pin to roll out the dough thinly, preferably evenly thick.

After rolling out the dough into a dough, sprinkle some dry flour evenly on top and spread evenly.

Then roll both sides of the dough inward at the same time, and then use a knife to cut the rolled dough into thin strips and arrange them in an orderly and neat manner.

Then Anxi lit the firewood again, scooped some water into the pot, covered the pot, and waited for the water to boil.

In the meantime, Anxi didn't waste time, and picked a tomato, a carrot, a cucumber, a few green onions, a few garlic, and two fiery red peppers from the vegetable field.

Peel and shred the carrots, shred the cucumbers, shred the peppers, cut the tomatoes into chunks, wash and chop the chopped green onions and garlic respectively.

After the water boils, Anxi lifts the pot and puts the knife-cut noodles into the pot one by one, avoiding pouring them together at one time, and sprinkle in some salt, not too much salt.

When the noodles are cooked, scoop up the noodles with a knife and put them on a plate, pour out the water in the pot, and pour some oil on the bottom of the pot after the bottom of the pot evaporates and dries.

Pour the shredded carrots, cucumbers, peppers, and chopped green onions and garlic into the pot one by one, sprinkle some salt and fry almost, then scoop them up and put them on a plate.

Simply wash the pan, pour the chopped tomatoes into the pan, pour some water, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cover.

When the tomatoes are ripe and thoroughly blended with the soup, turn the pot up, pour in the hot knife-cut noodles and stir them, adding some oil and vinegar.

Finally, pour a pot of fried carrots, cucumbers, shallots, and onions into the pot, stir them in the same way, and blow out the firewood.

The pot is steaming, and the oil with the lingering fragrance is poured with a knife to cut the noodles.

It's not necessarily true to say that it's oily, according to Anxi's understanding, it's more like spicy tomato knife cut noodles.

Just this pot of knife-cut noodles is just the size of three people.

In ancient rural areas, peasants generally only ate twice, and only those nobles with noble status, or people from Zhong Mingding's food family, were three meals a day.

So this breakfast is also noon.

Anxi covered the pot, in this weather, the food is easy to be cold, and if the lid is tight, it will cool slowly, and you can also eat a bite of hot rice.

It's mainly for Mo's consideration, after all, I don't know when Mo's will come back, and I don't know if I want to bring it to her.

Without thinking about it, Anxi took two of the few eggs left in the kitchen.

Bring the water to a boil in another small pot, crack the eggs into a bowl, sprinkle some soup, pour some boiling hot water, and stir quickly with chopsticks.

After a while, a rich egg aroma lingered sweetly on the bowl.

"Gollum."

An Xi touched his somewhat thin belly, and muttered in his heart that he could really eat it in recent days.

She could clearly feel that when she scooped a basin of water to wash her face, she saw herself reflected on the water.

That face, although still immature, has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the cheeks on both sides are rounder than she was at the beginning.

What does this mean? It shows that she hasn't eaten in vain recently! Ate long meat!

There is a saying about it.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Well, yes, at first she thought she was going to starve to death, but now, not only can she think of a way to earn money to save rations, but she also accidentally got thirty taels of silver.

Let your family be able to eat better.

Thinking of her fishing methods, and thinking of the troublesome villagers who were thinking about her, she didn't know if it was a mental effect, and she felt a little headache.

An Xi shook his brain hard, trying to shake out all those anxious and melancholy troubles, and his heart was peaceful!

And after the thirty taels were removed from the medical treatment for Mohs and all the expenses spent in Hezi Town in those five days, there was also the barrel of wine, the big wooden barrel......

An Xi snapped his fingers and crooked his head, as if he had an abacus in his heart to stack these expenses one by one.

In the end, it was concluded that there were still thirteen taels of silver left!

She handed over all the thirteen taels of silver to the Mo family for hiding.

According to her thoughts, she actually wanted to use the thirteen taels of silver to do some business, and the whole money made money......

But after careful consideration, it turned out that if it was in town. It's only thirteen taels that can't afford to do any business, and renting a shop is more than that, let alone buying some ingredients and other messy things.

How to say it, after all, Hezi Town is the center of Ping'an County, and it is the most prosperous area in the entire Ping'an County, and the low price must be more expensive.

Anxi wants to go to other towns to develop first, but the nearest Hezi town in Anjia Village has to take two quarters of an hour by ox cart, so are other towns farther? I don't think the gains outweigh the losses!

The most important thing is that his brother lives in Dai Mansion in Hezi Town, and if she wants to do business and make money, it would be better to choose Hezi Town.

But it doesn't matter, Anxi can wait, and she is willing to wait, she knows that it won't take long, she can!

But then again, it's good to have this money for Mo's to collect.

An Xi can see that Mo's humble mother has really never seen so much money.

I still remember when she quietly took out thirteen taels of silver and handed it to Mo last night.

Mo was so excited that he almost shook the silver down.

After a few weeks of nervous walking around the house, he dug a hole under the bed and buried the thirteen taels of silver.

Looking at the cautious behavior of Han Han's mother, An Xi wanted to laugh a little, why is her mother so cute? But it is also understandable.

"Huhuhuhu"

The cold wind with spring raised his head and slammed towards the kitchen.

suddenly woke up An Xi, who was standing in the kitchen, his thoughts were blown away by the wind, and even that trace of trouble was blown away.

"Sister, sister."

Xiao Anjiao, who had just woken up and rubbed her worried eyes, walked with her little short legs, took a step and shouted her sister, and shouted her sister again when she took a step.

"I'm here."

An Xi ran out of the kitchen, leaned against the door, bent down and waved at An Ji with a smile.

"Sister."

Xiao Anxi was attached to Anxi, and as soon as she saw Anxi, she hurriedly ran towards Anxi with her short legs.

hugged An Xi's waist.

Well, it seems that he can only hug Anxi's waist, after all, Xiao Anjiao's size is only barely reaching Anxi's waist.

An Xi pinched her cheek and muttered quietly

"Provo, it would be nice if this little face was fat, it must feel very comfortable."

brought Xiao Anjiao in, and closed the kitchen door again, blocking the wanton spring breeze from the door.

And the egg syrup is not so hot, An Xi picked up the bowl and felt the temperature of his palm.

Well, this temperature is just right, so I handed it to Xiao Anjiao.

The two snuggled up to each other and sat on the haystack drinking sugar water.

As soon as she sat down, Xiao Anjiao shivered, Anxi took out a free hand to pull away Xiao Anjiao's clothes, and touched her little hand again, which was a little cold.

An Xi said softly, "Come and sit closer to my sister." ”

Xiao Anjiao obediently approached Anxi closer, and then drank the bowl of sugar water slowly with both hands.

Seeing that Xiao Anjiao was still trembling slightly, Anxi thought about lighting the firewood under the stove.

Moved Xiao Anjiao around the stove together, and picked up some hay to pad behind her ass before sitting down.

In this way, the two of them are quite warm.
