Chapter 20: I Have a Way.

"The second aunt won't worry about things in the future, it's going to be dark now, and the second uncle and Brother Dashan should be back soon. If you are so lazy again, I am afraid that you will delay dinner. ”

Don't look at Second Aunt Song's usual martial arts, in fact, she is most afraid of Second Uncle Song, if she lets him know about today's events, Second Aunt Song will definitely not have a good life. Second Uncle Song and Brother Dashan do odd jobs in the town on weekdays, and they are rarely at home, as long as Second Aunt Song doesn't do too much, he will turn a blind eye to it, but today is not a trivial matter, and it is a lot of trouble......

Second Aunt Song's face immediately changed when she heard this, and she stood up with a scolding grin, "What are you urging, don't think that I am afraid of you this time with the support of the village chief." Song Erniu, let me tell you, I am your second aunt, you stand, I work, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”

"When my second aunt destroyed my paddy field, she was not afraid of being punished by God, what do I have to be afraid of. If the second aunt is really tired, I can go back to Brother Dashan to help, the second aunt is right, I really have to respect the elders, then the mother and son will pay the debt. ”

Song Erniu said that she was about to leave, but when Aunt Song saw this, she immediately became anxious, "You are blind, don't you see that I am going to fetch water?" Get out of the way. ”

Second Aunt Song scolded and scolded, but the speed was much faster than before, and she watered all the fields before dark. Of course, this amount of water is definitely not enough, at most three or five days, at least two or three days, she will come to water. However, with Second Aunt Song's temperament, it is already very good to be able to do this. She didn't say anything more.

When she got home, Song Erniu remembered the father and son, strange, what about the things she dried at noon? It's gone.

Song Erniu entered the house, only to see the father and son nested on the bed and didn't know what they were talking about, the things on the bed had been laid out, and the quilt had been sewn.

"This ...... This is ...... "Could it be that Chu Mufeng dried it?" I didn't expect him to have this skill.

Chu Mufeng saw her thoughts, and rolled his eyes at the air, "You think too much." ”

Forehead. When Aunt Song was puzzled, Xiaobao got up from the bed, pointed to the things on the bed and said happily, "These are all made by Grandma Fang, and Grandma Fang also said that if my mother wants to make a quilt, I will go to her next time." ”

I see. Song Erniu was grateful to Aunt Fang in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make quilts in the dark, and she didn't know when she would be able to sleep tonight.

"You're hungry, I'll cook." Song Erniu had already cleaned up the bamboo rats, came to the kitchen, first cut the bamboo rats into pieces, boiled some hot water to remove the fishy smell, and steamed rice on another stove, Song Erniu made a dish with bamboo shoots and bamboo rats, the dish was ready, and the rice was cooked.

"Dad, what does my mother do to make it delicious, it's so fragrant."

This afternoon, after Song Erniu and Xiaobao explained, Xiaobao struggled for a long time, and finally forgave Song Erniu generously, my father said, he is a man, and he should not be concerned with women in general, and besides, his mother is an elder and his relative, so he naturally has to be more generous to him.

Chu Mufeng closed his eyes and was silent, but his heart was not so calm on his face.

In the afternoon, Aunt Fang came over and talked about the paddy field, he thought that she would complain when she came back, and even make the family unhappy, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't seem to be in a bad mood, if she used to think that she had changed a little, now he is really sure that she is different from before.

It's just that no matter how she changes, nothing will change between them. If she thought that a slight change in her would make him change his mind, then she would have mistaken attention.

Half an hour later, Song Erniu entered the house with food. The oil lamp didn't have much oil, it looked very dark, Song Erniu deliberately took the oil lamp closer, Xiaobao leaned over to the table, staring at the meat on the table with straight eyes, very greedy, I wanted to eat, but I tried my best to endure it.

"It's rice."

Since the second elder of the Song family left, they couldn't even eat enough, let alone rice. Xiaobao went to see the dish again after being excited, what is this, is it chicken? Song Erniu gave him a pair of chopsticks, Xiaobao couldn't wait to stuff them into his mouth, and his mouth was suddenly full of fragrance, but it didn't taste like chicken, or even better than chicken.

"Mother, what kind of meat is this, it's delicious."

Chu Mufeng also had something wrong, and looked at Xiaobao. Song Erniu has been busy for most of the day, and she is already hungry, so she will answer while eating, "This is bamboo rat meat, how delicious is it." The two bamboo rats I caught today are fat and big......"

"Mouse?" Xiaobao and Chu Mufeng immediately changed their faces, such delicious meat turned out to be rat meat, and her mother ate it so with relish, wasn't she the most afraid of rats before?

"What's the matter, weren't you quite happy to eat just now?" Song Erniu sandwiched another piece of meat for Xiaobao, and saw that the oil lamp was about to run out of oil, urging, "Hurry up and eat, rest early after eating, and get up early tomorrow." ”

"Mother, my grandfather said that rats can't be eaten, they will die."

"I know, I'm not eating a mouse, it's not right, it's a relative of a mouse, in short, this is different from a mouse, she can eat it." Song Erniu saw that the father and son still didn't believe it, put down the chopsticks and began to popularize the growth process of bamboo rats and mice with them.

"According to my mother's meaning, this bamboo rat can be eaten." Xiaobao was a little scared, but he was reluctant to eat such a delicious meal, and looked at Chu Mufeng tangledly, "Dad, you know more than your mother, do you say you can eat it?" ”

Chu Mufeng glanced at Song Erniu, Song Erniu suddenly became playful, put a chopstick meat into her mouth, and chewed it at Chu Mufeng. It looked like a provocation, like a declaration of war. Chu Mufeng looked at such a vivid Song Erniu, and suddenly felt a little strange and a little interesting.

After a while, Chu Mufeng picked up the chopsticks and ate them slowly. Seeing this, Xiaobao was not willing to lag behind and ate. After eating, the oil lamp ran out of oil completely. The room went dark. Song Erniu could only put her things in the kitchen in the dark and wait until tomorrow to clean up. The night was getting darker, Song Erniu was tired all day, and she fell asleep not long after climbing into bed.

Chu Mufeng looked at her back and couldn't sleep for a long time.

The next day, Song Erniu was kicked by Xiaobao and woke up, the little guy was lying on the bed sideways, his head was resting on Chu Mufeng's body, his legs were hitting Song Erniu's body and he was asleep, the sky was bright, Song Erniu glanced out the window and reluctantly sat up.

In her previous life, she couldn't sleep at noon and didn't get up, but now she ...... Don't talk about it, it's all tears when you talk too much.

In short, for the sake of money, she can only endure it, and when she has money, she must sleep until she wakes up naturally, counting the money until her hands cramp.

After washing, Song Erniu first went to wash the pots and dishes last night, and then started to make breakfast, there was not much food at home, but Song Erniu didn't want to starve, the egg cakes made by Song Erniu for breakfast were soft and fragrant, and Xiaobao ate two in one go. If it weren't for the insistence, he would still want to eat it.

"Mother, this cake is so delicious, let's make this tomorrow."

Children seem to be easy to forgive and not hold grudges, look, the little guy was still entangled and hesitant yesterday, and now he opens his mouth and closes his mouth. If only the world of adults could be so simple.

"Okay, I'll do this tomorrow."

After eating, Song Erniu went to the back mountain, she seemed to be lucky, the traps dug yesterday had prey in, four pheasants, two rabbits. Song Erniu dug a little more wild vegetables before carrying the basket down the mountain.

"Auntie, is my uncle going to town today?"

Song Erniu put her things at home and went to Aunt Fang's house, she was still thinking about buying cotton and cloth, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the quilt at home was too thick. Besides, she really didn't want to stay in the same room with Chu Mufeng, it was too embarrassing.

Aunt Fang had just come back from the field, and when she saw her come in, she said with a smile, "It will take another day for the family field to be completed, if you are in a hurry, you can drive the ox cart by yourself just like yesterday." ”

Song Erniu wanted to, but she couldn't catch the car. But she really didn't want to wait any longer, and after hesitating, she opened her mouth to thank her, "Then thank you aunt." ”

Song Erniu remembered how Chu Mufeng drove the ox cart yesterday, she learned according to his appearance, and thought it should be very simple, but after trying for a long time, the cow still stood still. A quarter of an hour later, Song Erniu wanted to give up.

Chu Mufeng didn't know when he came to the door, and when he saw Song Erniu jumping off the ox cart in frustration, he didn't know why, so he suddenly opened his mouth, "You want to go to town?" ”

A cold and detached voice came, Song Erniu subconsciously turned her head and nodded after seeing the person clearly, "Well, I made a trap yesterday and caught a few wild things, and I plan to sell them in the town." ”

More than that. Seeing that he didn't want to say or expose it, Chu Mufeng came to the ox cart with a stick. Song Erniu stood motionless.

"Aren't you going to town? Still not leaving? ”

Song Erniu finally understood what she meant, and after being surprised, she spoke, "You want to go with me?" ”

Chu Mufeng didn't speak anymore, and sat on the ox cart with his body propped up. Song Erniu is not hypocritical, she eats and drinks for nothing every day, and waits for him every day, what's wrong with letting him drive an ox cart. came back to his senses, hurriedly went back and closed the door, and went to the next door to talk to Aunt Fang, asking him to take care of Xiaobao and then went to the town with Chu Mufeng.

At the gate of the city, Song Erniu jumped out of the ox cart, "The injury on your leg is not healed yet, just wait for me here." I'll be back soon. Turning around to leave, he remembered something, and stuffed the bamboo tube on his body, "It's hot, drink some water when you're thirsty." ”

The two have been married for many years, even when Song Erniu cared about her the most, she was not so careful, what did she want to do?

Song Erniu didn't know Chu Mufeng's thoughts, if he knew, he would definitely give him a roll of his eyes, and he was waiting for him with good food and drink, he was persecuted and paranoid.

Song Erniu is now full of money, and she has no time to think about Chu Mufeng's thoughts, so she entered the city, this time Song Erniu did not go directly to the restaurant, but turned to Chunyang Street, Chunyang Street is a famous rich street in Qiushui Town, in short, those who can live on this street are rich and powerful.

Song Erniu knocked on the door with a bamboo basket on her back to sell, such people naturally have familiar delivery people, like Song Erniu is not nothing, but it is rarely successful, and Song Erniu has failed after going to several stores in a row.

Seeing this scene, a firewood delivery kindly reminded, "The girl should go around somewhere else." People like them, where they need you to come to sell, what they want to buy, as long as they let out the wind, they can't buy anything. ”

Squeak, the last family spoke. Song Erniu smiled at the old man who delivered firewood, and then walked over with a bamboo basket, "This steward, this is the game I just hunted this morning, it is absolutely fresh." ”

The steward glanced at the wild things in the box, but did not directly refuse, "What kind of game are they and how much does it cost?" ”

"Pheasants and hares, absolutely fair price. If the person in charge thinks it's okay, you can take a look."

The steward glanced at the basket, originally wanted to make things difficult for Song Erniu, but after seeing the wild vegetables in the frame, he changed his attention, "These wild vegetables are not bad." ”

"If the person in charge likes it, these will be given away for free."

"Yes, a clever man. Okay, let's collect the game at the market price. ”

The steward asked the little maid to take Song Erniu in to weigh and count the money. Song Erniu arrived at Xie and followed with a basket. Both the pheasant and the rabbit were fat, and a total of one or two halves of silver were bought. Song Erniu was very happy. Although this is not a lot of money, it is enough to buy cloth and cotton.

Song Erniu thanked the steward, and when she stuffed a few pennies and was about to leave, a maid hurriedly ran in, if it weren't for Song Erniu's quick eyes, it is estimated that she would have suffered. Even so, his elbow rubbed against the corner of the wall and made a cut.

...... Song Erniu gasped, and when the steward saw this, she glared at the maid dissatisfied, "What's going on, it's not been a day or two since you came to the house, don't you know what the old lady doesn't like the most?" ”

"Steward Zhou spares his life, it's the little master, the little master doesn't know what's wrong, he refuses to eat the food cooked by the chef in the house, the old lady is distressed, and orders the slave to come to the kitchen to see if there is anything fresh to eat. But Steward Zhou also knows that there are only these two cooks in our house, and they all came over early this morning to do it, and the slaves and maids don't know what to do now. Please also ask Steward Zhou to save his life. ”

The little young master is the meat of the old lady's heart, he doesn't stop, and those of them who are subordinates are also unlucky. Steward Zhou frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "You get up first, I heard that Tai'an Lou has recently launched a new dish, which tastes good, you can buy one in person and see if it can get into the eyes of the little master." ”

Qiushui Town is so big, Tai'an Building is the largest restaurant here, if the little young master can't look down on it, they really can't do anything when they are slaves.

When Song Erniu heard this, she was overjoyed. "If Steward Zhou believed me, I would have some home-cooked snacks. It's easy to make and tastes delicious. ”

"What Song Niangzi said is true?"

"The steward can tell me about the taste of the little master first, and then I will try to make a few flavors she likes, as for the result, I can't guarantee it."

Song Erniu believes in her cooking skills very much, but she knows that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the world, what if she slaps her face if she talks too much? To be on the safe side, it's better to keep a low profile.

When the maid heard this, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she ran forward happily, "My little master likes to eat sweets the most, and he also likes to eat meat." ”

Song Erniu thought for a while, then smiled, "I've paid attention." ”
