Chapter 72: Talking about the medium
Hua Jiao thought that Pei Ze and her went to plant the land on the river beach.
I don't know, I went to a lot of people at once.
Guan Liujin, father and son, and Pei Man also ran over to help.
Pei Ze went to Tongcheng to buy early rice seedlings, several people lined up in a line to plant seedlings in the field, Pei Ze did not let the pepper go to the ground, but let her cook at home, sent them to the ground, and said that he would strive to finish planting this land in one day.
Sichuan pepper and noodles in advance, and ran to the town to cut meat, so many people, or to make steamed buns to be affordable and convenient, Zhang Butcher learned that Sichuan pepper is not in the store today, and to farm at home, laughed and said: "You can rest assured here, the pig water and elbow have been sent, the two old guys in your store are urgent, I haven't cleaned up and came, I want to pry your corner diligently!" ”
Sichuan pepper just laughed.
Zhang Butcher cut a large piece of good pork belly for her, and had to give her a few pieces of pig bones that were cut off, Sichuan pepper refused, Zhang Butcher just caught up with her and stuffed her, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't be polite to me, you load the goods from me every day, I should send you some pig bones, my family and your aunt will look at your family's people, don't hide it from you, I just want to go to your house today to propose!" ”
"To our house?" Sichuan pepper was quite surprised.
"Yes, my youngest son is three years older than your sister-in-law, and your aunt wants to marry your family." Zhang Butcher talked a lot, and said to Hua Jiao, "Before, she inquired about your sister-in-law who had just arrived last month, and you were busy with the work in the field. ”
"Oh, what a good thing!" Hua Jiao laughed.
She thinks that the Zhang Butcher's family is very good.
I heard that the sons raised pigs in the mountains, and the Zhang butcher sold meat in the town, and his life was quite prosperous.
I just don't know what their son's character is...... Of course, she didn't have to worry about it, and she didn't want to ask.
When passing by Huxiaogang, Sichuan pepper went to the hillside to pinch some mountain vegetables and brought them back, the mountain vegetable buns are hungry and delicious, no worse than those vegetables in the vegetable garden at home.
When I got home, the matchmaker had arrived.
Mrs. Yuan and Pei Chunhua Wang both sat on the kang with her, and as soon as the pepper entered the door, she heard the matchmaker say in a sharp voice: "Oh, these ten miles and eight townships, who doesn't know that Zhang Tuhu's family is well-off, he is a rich family, your daughter married in the past, and Bao Zhun can't be wronged, I have seen his youngest son, he looks like an immortal, I dare to say, these ten miles and eight townships, I can't find a second such character, you are all from the same village, and you have seen it, so I don't need to say more, their family says that your daughter is as handsome as a fairy, this is not, Just come to the door, such a good fate, I am willing to break my leg! ”
"Look at what you said, we're all embarrassed!" Wang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a man should marry a woman, and our daughter just got married last month, you are a coincidence, if this is a month earlier, our family can't respond to it!" ”
Zhang Butcher left home in the early years and did not return often.
In fact, the Wang family also had a vague impression of their family, only knowing that their family had three sons, of which the eldest son and the second son had already started a family, leaving only one younger son who was still young, but he didn't want to be at the age of saying goodbye.
Old Lady Yuan glared at the Wang family, and said slowly: "We haven't seen the son of the old Zhang family for many years, I don't know what he does now?" Separated? ”
"The sons are all helping to raise pigs in the mountains, and the eldest son and the second son have long been separated, and now there are only three sons left." The matchmaker patted her thigh and spat and said, "Their family has built a big tiled house in the town, and the house is bright when you go in, you can rest assured, the youngest son's house is also built, just waiting for your daughter to marry!" ”
"Don't they have a daughter?" Pei Chunhua was very excited.
Over the years, their son has also asked a matchmaker to propose marriage.
But I don't know why, it always doesn't work......
"They have three sons." The matchmaker smiled, "Your daughter marries in the past, it is equivalent to the daughter of their family, don't believe it, you go and ask their eldest and second daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law is the same as a mother and daughter." ”
Hearing this, Hua Jiao lifted his legs and entered the house.
She would never believe that her daughter-in-law could get along with her mother-in-law like a mother and daughter.
It's okay to deceive the simple little girls, but she doesn't believe it anyway.
The meat was chopped, the vegetables were blanched, and the noodles were ready.
Mrs. Yuan and Wang's accompanied the matchmaker on the kang, and they didn't care to come over to help, Pei Ying was embroidering in the east wing, knowing that someone was coming to propose marriage to her, and she was embarrassed to come out, Pei An played outside all day long, and was not at home all day, and the house was quiet, and the yard was full of the matchmaker's big voice: "This family business is difficult to find with lanterns, your family can rest assured, if you have anything to say, just mention it, I can also go and tell the Zhang family, there is a way to marry a daughter with your head up, and marry a daughter-in-law with your head down, so as to make you satisfied." ”
"It's not easy for us women to deal with such a big thing, so let's wait for the men to come back!" Mrs. Yuan said, "When we discuss it, let them look at each other, just bother you to make an extra trip." ”
"Oh, such a good family affair, let alone one trip, I am willing to make eight trips out of ten." The matchmaker laughed, got up and said, "This talented woman is good-looking, the matchmaker is the right person, even if he runs away, I am willing!" ”
After sending the matchmaker away, Wang went to the stove room and asked Huajiao: "Huajiao, have you seen the youngest son of Zhang's butcher?" ”
"I haven't seen it." Hua Jiao said truthfully, "I have seen the old couple of Zhang butchers." ”
"Wait for tomorrow, you take Pei Ying to the town and let her look at their youngest son." Wang said in a low voice, "As long as Yingzi is willing." ”
"Isn't it the words of the matchmaker at the behest of your parents?" Pepper asked curiously.
"Then you have to be willing to warbler!" Wang said incredulously, "Besides, if it's a crooked melon and cracked jujube, wouldn't it hurt Yingzi!" ”
"Mother, I don't know where Zhang Butcher's youngest son is, how can I take her to see it?" Hua Jiao was speechless, "On weekdays, there are only two of them in the town." ”
She and Pei Ying don't get along, so they can't be together.
"Don't worry, his youngest son will be here these days." Wang said firmly, "Anyone who comes to propose marriage will definitely let their son show up, and they know that the woman's family will definitely secretly look at each other in advance." ”
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow!" Sichuan pepper didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
After steaming the buns, it was already noon.
The peppercorns were picked up to the ground with a bamboo basket.
The meat is fragrant, the skin is thin and the filling is large, and the lips and teeth are fragrant when you bite it.
Everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, and they all said that peppercorns are good at cooking, and it is no problem to open a steamed bun shop.
Pei Ze ate ten steamed buns in one go, and said expressionlessly: "How can she open a store with this craft, just make it for her own family." ”
If you put so much meat, do you have to pay for it?
"Third child, you are humble." Guan Liujin quipped, "It would be a pity if your daughter-in-law didn't open a shop, I have never eaten such delicious buns." ”
Pei Man didn't squeak well, and buried his head in eating buns silently.
I felt a little regretful in my heart, and even thought that if it happened that day, Hua Jiao would be his daughter-in-law.
"It's a pity that this piece of land will be planted in the next day, otherwise, you can still have a mixed meal." Guan Mao said seriously, "Third brother, if you have work in the field in the future, you will find me, just take care of the food." ”
The crowd laughed.
At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Yuan discussed Pei Ying's family affairs with Pei Chunshan and Pei Ze.
