058, called flower chicken (2)
When Liu Jiaojiao woke up, the sun came out, she didn't expect Liu Shugen to come with Niu Haoran so early, yawned, opened the door and walked out with a messy hair that had fallen asleep into a chicken coop, and then ...... With a shout, he quickly retreated to the room and closed the door, and the whole action was completely done in one go.
Liu Jun couldn't help laughing, walked to the door and shouted into the house: "Jiaojiao, it's okay, they don't dare to go outside and talk nonsense." ”
Liu Shugen didn't react at all, and was still wondering why Liu Jiaojiao was obviously up, why did she scream and retreat to the room, Niu Haoran instantly understood, the little girl was worried about her own image, so she echoed: "Jiaojiao, I haven't seen anything with Shugen." ”
Liu Shugen was just about to retort that he saw it, but Niu Haoran quickly covered his mouth, and then received an eye knife, so frightened that he quickly nodded and said that he didn't see it either.
Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that they were coaxing themselves, but she was still very unhappy in her heart, as a girl who loves beauty, she appeared unkempt in front of people, which is simply a self-destructive image.
After a few or two strokes of the cleaning of herself, she reopened the door and walked out, as if nothing had happened, and went straight to the tank to get water and wash, ignoring the other three.
After she finished washing, Liu Jun had already brought out the prepared breakfast, because there were outsiders at home, so the dining table was moved to a small courtyard, and the four small benches had already been set up, just waiting for her to take a seat.
Liu Jun's cooking skills can only be said to be average, but she can't stand Liu Jiaojiao's many ideas, so every time she makes something, she can make Liu Shugen greedy and can't wait to stay here.
Today's cooking is xiaolongbao with soy milk, the steamer was specially customized by Liu Jiaojiao earlier with Lei Zhong's help, and the wrapping method and method were taught to Liu Jun by herself. As for the soy milk, Liu Jun soaked the soybeans last night and got up before dawn to grind it himself.
Of course, the small stone mill was also brought by Lei Zhong, and the method also came from Liu Jiaojiao's oral statement.
To put it bluntly, this girl is a proper slacker at home, only responsible for providing methods, and it is all Liu Jun's work.
In this era, sugar and salt are luxuries, and each family's inventory is not much, except for Liu Jiaojiao's family, no one is willing to use these to make ordinary breakfast, and they are all stored and used on important days such as guests or New Year's holidays, so Liu Shugen drank sweet soybean milk, and ate a mouthful of salty and fragrant xiaolongbao, and was so moved that he was about to cry.
"Jiaojiao, why don't you buy me too? I don't need to be paid, as long as I am allowed to eat these delicious things every day, if I can eat such delicious things all the time, I can sell them for the rest of my life! Liu Shugen suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Liu Jiaojiao seriously.
Liu Jiaojiao almost squirted out the soy milk she had just drunk in her mouth when she heard this, hurriedly put down the bowl and coughed violently a few times, then looked at him with a smile and said, "You are really an out-and-out foodie, just sell yourself for the stuttering." ”
Willow Root replied indifferently: "I don't like ordinary food, the key is that your things are very delicious, many of them are something I haven't heard of or seen before." Jiaojiao, you just bought me, right? I don't eat much, and I can do any hard work, you won't lose! ”
Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shake her head again and again, and did not answer him directly, but looked at Niu Haoran who was entangled next to her, and teased: "It's really hard for you to have such a brother." ”
Niu Haoran had an unladylike expression on his face, and sighed: "In your words, what can I do?" I'm desperate! ”
"Hahaha......" Liu Jiaojiao finally couldn't hold back her laughter, an ancient person said modern Internet terms seriously, this sense of disobedience is really funny.
Liu Jun hurriedly stroked her back to smooth her breath, afraid that she would laugh too hard and turn her back on her anger, and then glared at Niu Haoran without a trace, and Niu Haoran hurriedly sat upright.
After laughing for a while, Liu Jiaojiao eased up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and after signaling to Liu Jun that she was fine, she said to Liu Shugen: "It's not impossible for you to sign yourself to me, but you have to go to the private school with Haoran to study, I don't require you to learn well, but you must be able to write and understand basic calculation methods, can you do it?" ”
She will not let illiterate people appear under her hands, this is the minimum bottom line, not to look down on illiterate, but if you are illiterate, it is inconvenient to do many things.
Liu Shugen was stunned, and then cast his eyes at Niu Haoran for help, but Niu Haoran returned with a helpless hand, he had to look at Liu Jiaojiao again, and begged: "Jiaojiao, I'm really not reading material, I get sleepy when I see those words, I'm sure I can't learn it, can I change the conditions?" Let me do as hard work as I can! ”
Liu Jiaojiao shook her head firmly and said, "No." ”
Liu Shugen was about to cry, he knew best what virtue he had, he was not born to be a material for reading, otherwise he would have been sent to study a long time ago, after all, he was the only son in the family, but as long as he had a little talent for reading, his father and mother would send him to study if he smashed the pot and sold iron, but the key was that he didn't.
Whether to study for the sake of food, or to give up food and not study, is really an extremely difficult choice for him at this moment.
Liu Jiaojiao is not in a hurry, this kind of thing can't be forced, if he is completely unwilling, even if he sends him to a private school, it will be a waste of time and money, and she will not do it at a loss.
After breakfast, the four of them went to the foot of the mountain as usual to meet the young people of the village, and then went up the mountain together.
On the way, Liu Jiaojiao deliberately slowed down and pulled Liu San and Liu Lotus to the back of the line, and after a certain distance from the people in front, she lowered her voice and asked, "Have you memorized everything I taught you?" ”
She silently wrote half of the herb book given to her by the system, and then distributed it to these two people, ready to teach them all her knowledge of herbs, anyway, she is not ready to continue to make money from this in the future.
The two nodded in unison and said, "I've memorized it." ”
Liu Jiaojiao nodded with satisfaction, look, this is the benefit of literacy, it is much easier to teach things.
"Then today you will be in charge of leading them to identify new herbs and dig herbs, my brother and I have other matters, and we will meet here in two hours." Liu Jiaojiao commanded.
Both of them are people who only do things and don't like to ask too much, so they nodded immediately when they heard this, and then quickly followed the team.
Liu San is clever, lotus is steady, these days the two of them have become the leaders of this team, I don't know what method the two used, this group of young people is quite convinced of them.
Liu Jun also slowed down when he found that she deliberately dragged the two of them to the end of the line, and when the two left, he stood there and waited for Liu Jiaojiao to catch up, and then asked, "It's all arranged?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao nodded and smiled: "Well, it's arranged, Liu San and Sister Lotus said that they have memorized the complete set of medicinal herbs I gave them, and they will take people to dig up medicinal herbs today, and we will go to find pine mushrooms and other ingredients that can be used." ”
In addition to pine mushrooms and chestnuts, she was looking for them, because it was already winter, and the ingredients she could find were really limited.
Liu Jun has been hunting in the mountains for many years, and is a good hand at finding mountain treasures, and directly digs a few squirrel nests, and harvests a large number of chestnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts.
Looking at the things in the back basket, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly smiled, in modern times, she especially likes to buy and buy, especially when she encounters Double Eleven, Double Twelve or something, she will hoard a lot of daily necessities at home, and she feels like these squirrels who like to hoard goods.
Liu Jun saw her suddenly laughing, thinking that she had done something, and said in surprise: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and explained: "It's nothing, I just think these squirrels are quite miserable, and they have worked so hard to hoard so much, and they all cost us." ”
Liu Jun thought so deeply and smiled: "Let's go find pine mushrooms, what else do you need?" ”
"I don't have what I want in the mountains, by the way, brother, remember to buy a bottle of wine when you go shopping in a while."
"What kind of wine do you want?"
"Is there rice wine or flower carving?" There was definitely no special cooking wine in this era, so Liu Jiaojiao wanted to use these two kinds of wine instead, because these two kinds of wine are added to modern cooking wine.
Liu Jun obviously hesitated for a moment before replying: "It is estimated that the two kinds of wine you mentioned have to go to the town to buy, and they are not cheap. ”
This is the sadness of living in a remote mountain village, where you can't buy anything, and it's useless to have money.
Liu Jiaojiao frowned and thought for a moment and said: "Otherwise, you can go down the mountain now to find my master to borrow an ox cart, and then immediately go to the town, buy five three-yellow chickens, five and a half catties of fat and lean pork, five bottles of wine, and some mushrooms and honey, and then go to the pharmacy to find my grandfather, ask him to help ask if he can get lard, remember to bring him back." ”
Liu Jun squinted, trying to remember her words, and then said, "Why don't you go with me, in case you miss something, you can make up for it in time." ”
Liu Jiaojiao was right to think about it, the things in the town are relatively complete, and maybe you can find other good ingredients, so she stopped thinking about looking for pine mushrooms, and when the time comes, just replace them with shiitake mushrooms, and pull Liu Jun to find Liu San and them.
After explaining clearly to Liu San, the two went directly down the mountain to Lao Li Tou's house to borrow an ox cart.
Lao Li Tou still lent his ox cart very generously, but when he looked at Liu Jiaojiao, his eyes were full of reproach, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiaojiao, you asked the tree roots to pass on to me last night that you must go up the mountain to pick things today, and you will only go down the mountain in the afternoon, so you take a day off, why do you have to go to the town before noon?" ”
Is this criticizing her for lying and trying to be lazy?
Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly explained: "Master, I really have something to do to go to the town with my brother, and I will explain to you in detail in the evening." ”
Lao Li Tou glanced at her a few times, felt that her expression did not seem to be fake, and no longer asked, waving his hand to let the two of them hurry to the town.
