Chapter 19: Workmanship
Zixi had never seen a lotus root before, and after taking it out of the field a few days ago and washing the mud on it, he knew that the lotus root was white and tender.
Before he washed it, he still thought about how could he eat this black thing?
But after Sheng Ling'er fried a plate and brought it out, he found that the lotus root was crisp and sweet, just put a little salt, and there was a fresh fragrance in the slightly sweet, which was indeed different from what he ate.
In Sheng Ling'er's mouth, he learned that this thing can not only be cold and eaten but also steamed and fried, fried, single or with meat------ this is with meat, according to Sheng Ling'er, it is crispy fried lotus root, it takes a lot of time, you have to cut it into slices first, and it is very troublesome after all of this is done, so Zixi is free to try it this day.
He is willing to put effort into cooking, because every time he makes something particularly suitable to eat, he always feels that Sheng Ling'er is 'better' to him that day.
------Of course, this 'good' is not a gentle whisper, but that there will always be a little mercy when practicing martial arts on that day. Sheng Ling'er is not a gentle person, and she doesn't want the delicate young ladies mentioned in the play.
If she did it, if Zixi didn't use all her strength, most of her body would be green, and he also knew that this was the consequence of Sheng Ling'er's strength. If she doesn't keep you, I'm afraid I'll lose my arms and legs.
Therefore, Zixi paid special attention, and the first few times Sheng Ling'er was happy could be regarded as a coincidence, but when it was the same a few times later, Zixi pondered about it. Since then, he has been more concerned about eating, not to mention anything else, just Sheng Ling'er is in a better mood, he can be beaten less, and he is also willing to make Sheng Ling'er feel better.
Although it didn't take long for Sheng Ling'er to change back to her original appearance, at that moment, Sheng Ling'er's eyes narrowed slightly, comfortable and good-looking, he looked inexplicably happy, so even if it was only for a moment, Zixi was willing.
·······················
Hua Jia,
"Why are you a little upset today?"
Several people were eating at the table, with a plate of fried greens and scrambled eggs and a plate of pickles in front of them.
Lin Wu looked at him and asked.
Lin Anxie took a bite of food and said to Lin Wu.
"Nope."
Aunt Hua and Lin Wu glanced at each other, there must be something, this is their son, how could they not see it?
Aunt Hua thought for a while and asked, "But Mr. Xie has been assigning a bit too much homework recently, so he can't be busy?" ”
"No, don't guess." Having said that, after Lin Anxie mentioned Mr. Xie, his eating speed was much slower, and he obviously looked a little absent-minded.
Aunt Hua knew in her heart that although he was used to doing farm work, he was not stupid, but very shrewd, otherwise she would not have supported the family alone.
After all, Lin Wu only reads sage books and rarely goes to the fields, so it is good to be able to mop the ground normally, but Lin Anxie cultivated him as a 'talent', so she was naturally reluctant to let him do rough work, so she could only do it alone.
"It's related to Mr. Xie, right?"
After Aunt Hua asked a few more times, Lin Anxie finally spoke: "······ Today, Mr. Xie praised Zixi in the Jade Plum Blossom family again. ”
"Say he's a good handwriter."
Lin Anxie lowered his head and said, and after a while, he spoke again: "My handwriting has been written for four or five years, and Mr. has not praised me, but Zixi has only written for two or three months, and Mr. praised his handwriting for good." ”
Aunt Hua knew that he was not convinced, so she said: "He has only studied for a few months, and Mr. encouraged him, not to mention that you have already read so many books, and he has only read for two months, which is beyond you." If you think about it well, then put more effort into your studies and try to get your husband to praise you. ”
Lin Anxie snorted sullenly, and after eating, he was locked in his room to read.
Aunt Hua looked at the closed door and couldn't help but think of Zixi.
The child didn't think that the last few times were really unusual. He didn't feel it cowering before. These days, the greetings are generous, and the looks are clear.
------ his son is considered to be beautiful and gentle, plus he reads early, and he has a bookish atmosphere. Many people praised their son, and Zixi has been reading the book for a long time, and it turned out that this is Wenwen.
This appearance is not only beautiful, but also so handsome. At first glance, his son really can't compare to him. Lin Wu saw that Aunt Hua looked wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Aunt Hua opened her mouth and said what she just said: "This Zixi is a year younger than our family An Xie, how can I not see it at all, but my temperament is still calm, it is really strange." ”
"I saw that he went to Mr. Xie to study during the day, and sometimes helped Yumei Blossom with things in the field, and he was even busy. And it's really strange that reading hasn't fallen behind. Aunt Hua repeated it again.
She was amazed.
"What's so strange about this, didn't you see the girl from the Sheng family behind him? Look at the things that girls do. Even a splash like Sheng Laosan can be beaten. Lin Wu couldn't help but say.
"She can not only fight people but also hunt, which is something we can't match. And look at what lotus can be planted in her field······" Lin Wu couldn't remember what it was called······
Lin An thanked and said, "Lotus root." "A lot of people who read together are talking, and he knows everything.
"Yes, lotus root!" Lin Wu said: "This is it. ”
"We've never heard of it, but people can plant it so well. I heard that several people in the village have changed things with things, I am reluctant, otherwise I want to taste what it tastes like, I heard that it tastes crispy and fragrant, and it is delicious to eat cold salad alone, especially it can be simmered with meat. I have heard people who have eaten that the meat is fragrant into the lotus root, and it tastes soft and glutinous······"
Aunt Hua heard him say endlessly, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, just say a few words, it's endless, such an adult thinks about eating, you think it's very glorious." ”
Lin Wu also knew that he had talked too much, so he stopped the topic, but he still couldn't help but say: "Anyway, this Sheng family girl, the kung fu of making money is really good, I know you don't like people, but people don't come to the door to get along with you, right?" Let's stop in the future, look at her current ability, if she is really our family's opponent, our family will have no good fruit to eat. ”
Aunt Hua rolled her eyes, and he reminded him that she had known it for a long time.
But I know that I know, and my heart is still uncomfortable.
"I heard that her family has earned several times of money, and it has only been half a year, and her family can use so much money for a year or two. Sheng Ling'er is still hunting, she is really capable. Lin Wu was still unsatisfied.
For what Lin Wu said, Aunt Hua didn't want to agree, but she had to agree.
Looking at the entire Shengjia Village, who has Sheng Ling'er's ability to make money? Not to mention. If I'm not mistaken, I'm only 16 or 17 years old this year. At this time, the average little girl is nothing more than washing the dishes at home, cooking, or doing a good job, who can be like her?
"The last time I went to her to hear how she knew about lotus roots? She said she told her father when he was alive. We only knew that the Sheng family's father was good, but I really didn't expect that there were so many things in his stomach, but it was a pity that he died early. ”
Aunt Hua said: "What's the pity, Sheng Ling'er is doing well now." I heard that her family had recently sold another batch of chickens, and then used the money to buy another two acres of land. I saw that her family land was originally all lost by her relatives, but now it has become so many fields again. ”
Lin Wu said: "It's not just that, I heard that they may have to recruit workers, that is, to call people to help them do things, I heard that not only do they have wages a day, but they can also occasionally deliver meat,"
"Really?" Aunt Hua asked.
Their family still has to hire someone, is they already so rich?
Lin Wu said: "I heard that it seems to be, although it is not invited every day, but when it is busy, there are always two invited, and I heard that her family is too busy." ”
Aunt Hua remembered that there were two girls in the Sheng family, and there was not even a man, so she probably couldn't be busy, so she stopped talking.
Lin Wu did speak: "If the salary is not low and the work is not very heavy, I would like to go and see it." ”
Aunt Hua looked at him in disbelief: "Haven't you always disliked going to the fields?" ”
"I'm just going to check it out." Lin Wu didn't say anything affirmative.
He's useless, and he doesn't make much money. But the gossip in the village is not completely indifferent.
They say he depends on women?
I don't think it's weird to hear too much this time, it would be good if I could help my family make some money, not to mention, if Sheng Ling'er's family asked a worker to take care of the food, ······ Is there meat to eat?
··························
Aunt Hua thought he was just talking, but she didn't expect him to really go.
When she heard the people in the village, she still felt a little incredible, one was that she felt that her face was dull, Aunt Hua had always felt that her family was quite good in the village, but now she actually went to work in another family, or Sheng Ling'er's family, which she had always looked down on, how could this not be a taste······
But when Lin Wu went to work and made money, he was a little really happy in his heart.
Because Sheng Ling'er's family's salary is eight cents a day, she heard that the total salary in the city is only nine wen, and it is not so easy to do things in this city, I heard that there is a fee.
Moreover, the work in the Sheng family is different, it is all from the same village, and Sheng Ling'er will not be in arrears if there are so many people.
In the past two days, the people in the village have spread that there is still lunch there, and there is meat in it, and many people are rushing to this.
------ just a pity at the time. There are only two or three people in her family, and she can't catch up this night.
