Chapter 107: A Bucket of Rice Triggers a Scolding War
Because Shen Cuini couldn't eat a bite of dumplings, she hated Shen Shuang so much in her heart, so she naturally tried her best to say bad things about Shen Shuang, but she didn't dare to shout loudly in front of Jiang Zitong, she only dared to murmur quietly with her mother.
"Mother, that dead fat pig makes so many delicious foods, she must be greedy for Miss Jiang's money, maybe she swallowed the silver by herself and didn't give it to her grandfather and grandmother."
Xiao Wanshi was also hungry, especially when she smelled the fragrance of food all over the yard, if Jiang Zitong was not there, she would have eaten rice and big fish and meat with a bowl a long time ago, where could she endure the loneliness of the meal.
Hearing her daughter's words at this time, she thought that this was also the case, so she nodded, "The dumplings and pork can still be said to be leftover from yesterday, but where did the fat duck and fish come from?" Could it be that she bought it in the village with silver? ”
Shen Trini's eyes stared viciously at the kitchen, "It must be, otherwise with the size of her dead fat pig, she can still catch fish?" ”
There are many villagers in the village who raise ducks, and there are also a lot of fish, and those who have the ability can touch them in the stream, but Xiao Wanshi doesn't believe that Shen Shuang is so lucky day by day that he can still touch fish.
When Xiao Wan walked to his mother's house today, he learned from Wan's mouth that the twenty taels of silver that he had obtained with great difficulty yesterday had been returned to Jiang Zitong, and maybe the silver would fall on Shen Shuang.
The more Xiao Wan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, twenty taels of silver, even if she couldn't get a little benefit, she couldn't let Shen Shuang, a dead fat pig, get so many benefits.
Just now, Xiao Wan and Shen Tusheng were muttering about how to talk to Jiang Zitong for a while and ask her to help find a job to do, but now for the twenty taels of silver, she had already thrown her man's big business into the Nine Heavens.
Seeing Jiang Zitong go out and lead Uncle Mo in for dinner, Xiao Wan's hurriedly went up to put on a flattering smile, and he forgot to talk to Wan's family, and forgot that there was an old man Shen watching on the side.
"Miss Jiang, our family really has to thank you, such a fat duck and fish, it is estimated that it will cost you a lot of silver, right? Xiaoshuang, that kid is really ignorant, entertaining you is what our family should do, you have given so many good things to our family, how can you still ask you to take silver. Look at those meat dumplings and pork, this is simply better than our family's New Year's Day. ”
Jiang Zitong originally turned her head and looked at Xiao Wan's who suddenly came up in a daze, to be honest, she was not used to others licking her face and talking to her like this, but how could this person seem to be yin and yang when he spoke, even if she didn't know what Xiao Wan's words really meant, she could also know that she didn't have a good heart, after all, she belittled Shen Shuang's personality.
Uncle Mo on the side glanced at Xiao Wan's lightly, his face was not very good-looking, and the other people in the courtyard were also dumbfounded, especially Wan's, she had been feeling sorry for her twenty taels of silver all day, and now when she heard that Shen Shuang also took silver from Jiang Zitong to buy ducks, her face immediately turned black into a pot lid.
Without waiting for the people in the courtyard to react, Jiang Zitong frowned and explained lightly, with a slight displeasure in his tone, "Sister Shen's second aunt, didn't you misunderstand?" Sister Shen never asked me for silver, as for the ducks and fish, they were caught by stones and hills, and they have nothing to do with me, I don't know where you heard the words? ”
Shen Shuang happened to come out of the kitchen and also heard Jiang Zitong's words, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Wan, who was almost defeated and looked embarrassed, "The second aunt asked Miss Jiang for silver yesterday but didn't succeed, why did she put her name in my name today?" ”
As soon as Shen Shuang's words came out, Xiao Wan's subconsciously looked at Old Man Shen, Wan's and his own man, and saw their black faces, which turned pale with fright, and hurriedly defended himself, "I don't have it, I don't have it, when will I ask Miss Jiang for silver?" Xiaoshuang, why did you wronged people? ”
Shen Shuang shrugged, and with an innocent face, she directly handed back what she had just said, "Then when will I ask Miss Jiang for silver?" Second aunt, why have you wronged people? ”
Xiao Wanshi: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Jiang Zitong couldn't help but want to applaud Shen Shuang, but she didn't expect that she would treat others in her own way.
Old man Shen coughed and stood up, glaring at Xiao Wan viciously, and Shen Tusheng hurriedly went over to pull her before she stopped, "What does it look like if one person doesn't say a few words?" Didn't you see that Miss Jiang and Mr. Mo were watching here? Don't let your guests see the jokes. Xiaoshuang, are the dishes all right? Let's go to the table and eat. ”
Shen Shuang sighed, "Master, it's all right, there is also a big pot of fried river clams and braised carp with Chaotian pepper, I'll bring it out." ”
In the kitchen, Shen Musheng put the chopped duck in a big basin, Xu hurriedly walked out and put it on the table, everyone sitting on the table looked at it and swallowed saliva, Shen Musheng packed up the knife and cutting board, and also helped bring the braised carp to the table, Xiaoshan and Shi helped pour soy sauce and brought it out to everyone to dip the duck and eat.
In order to make it easier for everyone to scoop up and eat, Shen Shuang had already put the big pot of duck soup and rice into the usual wooden barrel, and she brought it up, and she was sitting at the table at this time and looking around, looking at these meat dishes, she was simply distressed, although she said that she hoped to eat big fish and meat every day, but when she thought about it, if she and her old man ate it slowly, it would definitely have to eat for half a month and she felt distressed.
Especially that wild duck, if she makes a duck and takes it back to her parents' house, she can earn a decent income, now it's good, cheap This is not rare at all These big fish and big meat Jiang girl, the more Wan Shi thinks about it, the more he feels that he is not a taste in his heart.
Suddenly saw Shen Shuang carrying a wooden bucket out, she stretched her neck to look, because she was old and couldn't see things as young people, she didn't see clearly at first, and thought that Shen Shuang was carrying a wooden bucket of soup, but when she approached, she saw that it was a big bucket full of rice.
Wan Shi realized that half a bag of rice in his cupboard might have been ruined by Shen Shuang, and almost didn't roll his eyes and fainted, so he didn't care about Jiang Zitong, a guest, so he patted his thigh and stood up and grabbed the wooden bucket in Shen Shuang's hand, hugged it in distress and shouted, "Ouch, my rice, my rice is all gone." What are you doing here, you are going to destroy my old Shen family, you actually boiled the rice in my cupboard? Who gave you the guts? ”
Shen Shuang didn't expect her milk to really react so much, although she knew that she would be angry, but she didn't expect that she didn't plan to settle accounts after the autumn, but to take a direct on-site attack, but she was not afraid, and stood innocently and was scolded.
Xu Shi was afraid of such a thing at the beginning, and when he saw his daughter being scolded, he naturally couldn't help but defend her, "Mother, don't be angry first, Xiaoshuang is also ......"
Wan Shi didn't wait for Xu Shi to say more, and then pointed at her and scolded, "You loser girl, you shut up the old lady, did you instigate it?" ”
Shen Tusheng was still counting on Jiang Zitong to introduce him to reliable work, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the barrel, "Mother, Miss Jiang is still there, can you say a few words?" ”
"No, my rice, this is your father's rations for me and your father for several months, and they have been ruined for her."
Old man Shen was about to be angry with Wan's family, and after he reacted, he directly stepped forward and grabbed the wooden barrel and handed it to Shen Shuang, "What are you talking about?" A bucket of rice is also worth shouting at here, what does it look like? I asked Xiaoshuang to cook this rice, what do you have to say to me, Xiaoshuang, hurry up and scoop the rice for everyone. ”
Shen Shuang didn't expect her father to take this matter down directly, and she couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to him in her heart, so she hurriedly distributed duck soup and rice to everyone.
Wan Shi was glared at and scolded by Old Man Shen like this, and naturally knew that she was very embarrassed just now, and she also lost her face in front of the distinguished guests, she was very remorseful at this time, after all, the rice had been cooked, and it would be useless for her to make trouble.
In case this Jiang girl is scared away by her, it will be a big deal, the more Wan Shi thinks about it, the more panicked he becomes, he seems a little at a loss, he wants to explain it but he doesn't know what to say, he looks at his second son who is still standing beside him as if he is asking for help, he is very panicked, afraid that he will mess things up.
The people who eat melons looked at the adults in a group, sitting on the stool with chopsticks and not daring to move, and Shen Cuini was so hungry that she quietly stuffed a dumpling into her mouth while no one was paying attention, and Shen Zhuzi looked at her lightly, Shen Cuini almost choked herself to death, but she didn't dare to cough, so she could only cover her mouth and run back to her house to solve it.
Shen Musheng and Xu Shi also stood up nervously, and after the old man Shen scolded Wan Shi, he turned his head and apologized to the two distinguished guests, "Miss Jiang, Mr. Mo, let the two of you laugh, the child and his wife are usually more frugal, and the countrymen are short of food, so they usually eat some brown rice and sorghum, and rice is relatively rare." ”
Jiang Zitong didn't laugh, but was frightened by such a scene, she never thought that the rice she felt she was about to get tired of eating on weekdays was such a rare food, thinking of the food she had wasted, she couldn't help but blame herself very much, naturally she didn't say anything at this time, but put forward a suggestion that she thought should be okay.
"Grandpa Shen, you're welcome, as for this rice matter, we have rice at home, Sister Shen will go to town with me tomorrow, and when I send her back, I will ask Uncle Mo to send a few bags to Grandma Xiaoshuang, I hope Grandma Xiaoshuang won't be angry and scold Sister Shen, okay?"
Shen Shuang: "......" was inexplicably moved, what's going on?
Wan's face changed colorfully, seeing Jiang Zitong talking to himself, where is there no reason, "Miss Jiang said with a smile, how can our family ask for your rice, I am a country woman, I have never seen so much rice, but it is appropriate to receive Miss Jiang, and I hope that Miss Jiang will not blame my wife for being rude." ”
Everyone has a step down, this matter is in the past, Shen Shuang bowed his head to scoop the rice for everyone, but when the rice came to the bowl, everyone didn't dare to move the chopsticks, Shen Cuini and Xiao Wanshi couldn't wait, but they were still afraid of being scolded.
As for the two little ones, even if they were greedy, they didn't dare to act rashly, waiting to look at their eyes, in order to ease the tense atmosphere and attract everyone's attention to the meal, Old Man Shen acted as the person who enlivened the atmosphere, "Xiaoshuang, this rice smells very good?" How do you cook it? ”
Jiang Zitong also felt the awkward atmosphere, and hurriedly helped Shen Shuang answer, "Grandpa Shen, I know this, this is the duck soup rice cooked by Sister Shen with duck soup for boiled ducks, everyone quickly move their chopsticks to taste it." ”
As soon as Jiang Zitong said this, Wan Shi also answered, the atmosphere was much better, and after a meal, the table was full of praise for Shen Shuang's skills, especially the boiled white-cut duck dipped in soy sauce was eaten, and there was a large pot of boiled wild amaranth, and in the end, even the soup was eaten.
As for the duck blood stewed tofu and fried duck offal with celery fungus, which were disliked by Jiang Zitong, they were also very popular, and everyone just buried their heads in eating, and they didn't know what they were eating.
At the end of the meal, all the dishes on the table were eaten, of course, Jiang Zitong didn't eat much, he ate a half-full poop and Shen Shuang, who was also seven points full, went out for a walk to eat.
