Old man Shen frowned when he heard Xiao Wan's words, but Wan's slapped his thigh, the more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and Shen Chuntao on the side felt disgusted when he saw his second sister-in-law's greedy face, but if she really had ten taels of silver, she felt okay, so she didn't say anything.

Xiao Wanshi saw that the two elders didn't speak, so he continued, "Dad, mother, I just saw the two quilts brought by Miss Jiang on Xiaoshuang's kang, which are very soft, and you have to spend a lot of money to buy them at a glance. Why don't you have to spend money to live in our house? ”

Shen Chuntao felt reasonable when she heard this, so she also agreed, "Mother, I think the second sister-in-law is right, she will give people a broken silver as soon as she makes a move, why don't you have to spend a penny to eat and live in our house?" ”

Wan Shi has always been open-minded when he sees money, and the words of his second daughter-in-law and daughter can be regarded as speaking to her heart, "Old man, what do you think?" I think that if we ask that Jiang girl for ten taels of silver, it will seem that we look down on her, so it is better to ask for twenty taels, right? At first glance, she is not a master who lacks silver, otherwise she can send so many things to our family, and this Meiyuan Ji dim sum alone will cost a few taels. ”

Old man Shen looked at the three women standing and sitting opposite, his face was very ugly, "Twenty taels of silver?" Old woman, how dare you say it? At the beginning, these earthen houses in our family didn't cost more than ten taels of silver, and now you go and ask for twenty taels? ”

Wan Shi blushed when he was asked, and simply choked his neck and talked to him, "What's the matter, I'm not thinking about our family?" I have to spend a lot of money to study every three years, and we haven't helped much, so when he is admitted to the show, he will become a big official, don't you want to be polished? And the pillar will soon have to say that he will marry his daughter-in-law, there are so many people in the family, which one does not cost money? ”

Xiao Wanshi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart when she heard Wan's words, but she said it nicely, "Dad, my mother is right, our family has a large population, it costs money, and it is really not much to ask Miss Jiang for twenty taels of silver, just that carriage and horses, if you buy it casually, maybe it will be a few hundred taels of silver, what is twenty taels?" ”

Shen Chuntao was silent when she heard this, anyway, she felt that her father would definitely disagree.

Old man Shen really disagreed, and scolded Wan and Xiao Wan, of course, in order to leave a good impression on Jiang Zitong, "The third child is about to take the Xiucai exam, since Miss Jiang and Xiaoshuang know each other, maybe the third child will need her to help when the time comes, if you ask someone to tear your face with silver, how can our two families have a good relationship?" Second family, take care of your mouth, don't nag all day, old woman, put things away, and divide them for everyone tonight. ”

After speaking, Old Man Shen took a cigarette stick and walked out of the eaves to smoke, and Shen Chuntao also went back to the room to rest, "Mother, I won't come out to eat dinner, you remember to bring it into the room for me." ”

Xiao Wan's heart was extremely contemptuous of this sister-in-law, but her face was a flattering gesture, and after seeing that the two of them went out, she instigated Wan's, "Mother, is it possible that we really don't ask that Jiang girl for silver?" Why don't we two hide from our father and ask quietly, maybe the Jiang girl is embarrassed not to give it, and besides, didn't Xiaoshuang say that she saved the Jiang girl? Since our family is her life-saving benefactor, she must be embarrassed not to give the silver, so let's ask her for fifteen taels of silver. ”

Wan Shi is angry, but when she heard Xiao Wan's words, she felt that it made some sense, but after all, it was related to her third son's test Xiucai, and she was not sloppy, "What are you yelling about, don't make noise, let me think about it first." ”

Shen Shuang was in the kitchen, and she didn't know that such an incident happened in the hall, but she knew the character of the Shen family, and she would definitely make some trouble, otherwise it would be unscientific.

Shen Musheng went back to the field and Shen Zhuzi to get the hoe and other things back, and when he came home early, Shen Shuang had already cooked dinner, because it was not good to squeeze in the dark hall, so the old man Shen asked Xu and Shen Shuang to take out the big round table that was not used much at home and wash it, and then set it up in the courtyard to serve the dishes.

Shen Shuang can be regarded as using all eighteen kinds of martial arts today, a pot of fragrant mushroom chicken soup, cold spring bamboo shoots, Hakka tofu inlaid with minced meat, a large pot of braised pork, fried fungus with peas and lean meat, fried lettuce and salted ash cabbage and other dishes were placed on the big round table, Rao is Jiang Zitong couldn't help but marvel at Shen Shuang's good skills.

Xiao Wanshi knew that the family had to start eating in advance, so he also hurried out to find his daughter Shen Cuini to come back, and by the way, he showed off the family's big meal in the village, and the villagers who hadn't eaten before hearing it couldn't wait to go over and watch, and even Shen Cuini kept swallowing saliva when she listened, but she asked with some suspicion, "Mother, do we really have pork and chicken to eat?" You can't be a liar, right? ”

Today, she has been embroidering in Li Xiuniang's house, and she really doesn't know what dignitaries are coming over at home, listening to her mother's words, she feels that she is just bragging.

Xiao Wanshi reached out and poked her head angrily, "What deception? Do you remember the last time that Meiyuan Ji Dim Sum? ”

Shen Trini nodded, and suddenly realized, "Mother, could it be that young lady who came to our house?" Why didn't you call me earlier? ”

Xiao Wanshi rolled his eyes, "It's early, I don't have to eat when I go back, your grandmother has already hidden things, where is your turn to eat?" Hurry up, or the family will have dinner. ”

When the two mothers and daughters hurried home, they saw the food on the big round table in the courtyard, which was a good dish that they couldn't eat even during the New Year, and they almost couldn't help drooling down at once.

Old man Shen was in a very complicated mood after seeing the table of dishes, especially Shen Shuang, who made this table of dishes, he was even more impressed, he knew that he might have looked away at this granddaughter, if she didn't grow so fat, it was estimated that she would be able to make a big difference in the future.

He also has his own careful thoughts, thinking that since she can know a noble person like Jiang Zitong, maybe she can know more noble people in the future, at this time, she naturally detains her wife and son to be more disciplined, and she can't lose face in front of nobles.

Although Wanshi loves to be greedy. It's cheap, but she also knows how rare the dishes on this table are, even when her son got married, she didn't have these decency, not to mention the meat and vegetables, it just looked very pleasing to the eye, and she forgot to get some meat and vegetables for her daughter, but pulled the old man Shen into the house, and the two of them changed into clean clothes before going out to eat.

In addition to Shen Tusheng, who has not come back from work in the town, and Shen Chuntao, who is hiding in the house, the Shen family and Jiang Zitong are all sitting at the table, originally Uncle Mo was unwilling to eat at the same table with Jiang Zitong, his concept of master and servant is very strong, but he couldn't resist Shen Shuang's remarks, so he was also persuaded by Jiang Zitong to sit down and eat with Shen Musheng.

Because of Jiang Zitong and Uncle Mo, Xiao Wan and Shen Cuini, who originally wanted to rush to eat meat, had been warned by Wan in advance that they could not be embarrassed in front of distinguished guests, as for the stone, they have eaten a lot of good things with Shen Shuang in the past few days, although there is meat in front of him at this time, he is also a little person who can look at the eyes, so he also learned from Xiaoshan to eat meat in a proper manner.

This is the first time since Shen Shuang came to the Shen family that she has seen the Shen family who eats so carefully, but although everyone is a little restrained, she still likes this atmosphere very much, otherwise they are all hungry ghosts grabbing food, and she estimates that her appetite will be greatly reduced.

Shen Chuntao waited left and right in the house and didn't wait for dinner, but she was afraid of running into Jiang Zitong. It's not good to go out and see what the situation is, so I can only continue to wait.

Because there is braised pork and chicken today, there is a lot of meat, and everyone subconsciously takes chopsticks to put some beautiful vegetable plates, such as Hakka tofu and cold spring bamboo shoots, everyone is silent about eating, and in the end, there are still a lot of meat dishes left on the table.

Originally, Xiao Wanshi had already left vegetables for Shen Tusheng as soon as everyone served the table, and now she saw that there were still so many meat dishes left, but she couldn't hold on to it, and sighed in her heart, and took the initiative to help Xu's clean up the dishes and chopsticks and wash the dishes.

Wan's only remembered his daughter after he was full, so he had to take the leftovers and burn them cold for Shen Chuntao to eat, Rao is some leftovers, and Shen Chuntao didn't dislike it, after all, today's dishes are really hearty.

Xiao Wanshi sat down on the kang after helping to wash the dishes and returned to the house, and sighed with the girl who was also sitting on the side, "Trini, it would be great if there was meat to eat every day, look at this bowl of meat I left for your father, this is the amount of meat our family eats during the Chinese New Year." ”

Shen Cuini was silent, the impact on her today was too great, she didn't expect Shen Shuang to know such a noble person as Miss Jiang, wearing silk and satin, sitting in a carriage, and there were servants to protect her.

The good things that she hadn't eaten before, but now they were all eaten because of Shen Shuang, she was really unconvinced, naturally unhappy, and glanced at the bowl of meat, and she also liked to ignore it.

Jiang Zitong also praised Shen Shuang's craftsmanship, "Sister Shen, why don't I invite you to Yunlai Building to take charge of the kitchen?" The dishes you made are really delicious and special, I have eaten the spring bamboo shoots before, but I didn't expect the sauce you made yourself to be so delicious, and the tofu tastes very good. ”

Shen Shuang was leading Jiang Zitong around the Shen family's house to take a walk to eat, listening to her chatter, she was a little helpless, "I'm not a chef, cooking is my hobby, I don't want to use it as a means to make a living." ”

Shen Shuang's words were a little complicated, but Jiang Zitong could still understand after pondering it, "Then Sister Shen, what is your means of making a living?" But I think you are very suitable to be a cook, I have eaten so many restaurant chefs' dishes, but your dishes are not inferior to theirs, and they are very special. When you come to our Yunlai Building to take charge of the kitchen, you will definitely be able to come as a guest. ”

When it comes to means of livelihood, Shen Shuang really didn't think about it, after all, this ancient small mountain village is different from modern metropolises, where people rest at sunrise and sunset, in fact, most of their lives are self-sufficient.

Thinking about it carefully, she has been here in Xishan Village for so long, but she doesn't spend much money, she works every day, digging wild vegetables and picking fruits to catch river clams, and from time to time she finds some fresh things, as if it is a surprise in life.

And although the Shen family is not rich, they have food and drink, although they don't eat very delicately, and they are very busy every day, but they are also very busy and valuable, not only lose weight effectively, but also get a lot of delicious food, as for complaining, she forgot that she still needs to complain, after all, she goes to bed early and gets up early every day, and she has forgotten what insomnia is.

Shen Shuang remembered the sadness of being busy like a spinning top when she was filming before, she slept late every day, had to squint her eyes before dawn to get up to make up, and she had to keep reading the script and memorizing lines in her mouth, sometimes she finished work very late, and stayed in the crew for several months, basically had no free time, although she liked to be an actor, but sometimes she would question whether she really liked this industry.
