Chapter 227: Braised Pork

After the sale ended, Shen Lianqiao, who left from Mrs. Zhang's yard, had an extra bracelet on his wrist that was in very good condition.

When the maid Xiaohong saw the bracelet, she couldn't help but praise it, "Miss, Madam is so kind to you, and I gave you a bracelet again, this bracelet is so beautiful." ”

Shen Lianqiao looked at it and nodded, "Help me put it away." ”

Shen Forsythia didn't like to wear any jewelry that showed her dark complexion, so she didn't have much interest in these bracelets on her wrists.

In just a few months, Shen Lianqiao can be regarded as a little more knowledgeable.

A bracelet in good condition is not rare for her, but she will not give up anything valuable.

She used to be a scheming person, she has seen people in the past few months, and she has learned a lot from what she should learn and what she shouldn't learn, and she knows that everything must be prepared for a rainy day.

She was poor and afraid, and she still hid a lot of silver tickets and all kinds of jewelry in her house.

Shen Lianqiao is also worried that she will be rejected by the Zhang family one day, of course, this possibility is low, but she just has no bottom in her heart, Shen Shuang was abandoned by her mother in Xishan Village like this, although she knows that her mother still seems to be thinking about her occasionally, after all, she has been raised for more than ten years, but every time she is interrupted, her mother can't take care of Shen Shuang.

After nightfall, Shen Lianqiao lay on the bed covered with soft cushions, and couldn't help but think of the old kang head that he had slept on for more than ten years.

She reminded herself again and again that she was already the biological daughter of the fourth-grade official in the capital, and she was no longer the village girl who had to get up to work before dawn every day, but in the past few months, she woke up very early every day, and she had already opened her eyes and waited for dawn before dawn.

"Shen family, Wan family, you have hurt me so badly, I must make you pay the price." Shen Forsythia lay on the bed, muttering to himself, his thoughts drifting away.

……

Xu didn't know about her adopted daughter, but she hated the Shen family to the core, and she usually only occasionally thought about Shen Forsythia, knowing that she would live well in the Zhang family, but she didn't worry too much.

Shen Shuang rarely had such a leisurely day, teaching Xiaoshan to write and read thousand-character texts in the morning, and going to the kitchen to make food at noon.

Only the three mothers and daughters were at home, so lunch was easy to make, and she made three bowls of noodles, plus eggs and the braised pork that she had quietly packed up yesterday, and it tasted quite good.

Neither Xu nor Xiaoshan had ever eaten braised pork, and when they first ate it, their eyes lit up.

Xiaoshan held back the word delicious in his mouth, and then buried his head in eating quickly, and the sound of sucking proved that he really liked it.

And Xu Shi looked at the meat and looked at it, "Xiaoshuang, this meat monster is delicious, how did you get it?" You kid, you have a lot of tricks. ”

When Xu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and there was a feeling that my family had a girl who had just grown up, her daughter was so capable, she was happy, obviously her daughter was so good, why did her mother-in-law always dislike her?

Shen Shuang also tried to make it by herself, and the materials were insufficient, the taste was not very formal, but it was still very delicious, "Mother, this is braised pork, I put some spices and marinated it, isn't it very fragrant?" ”

Xu nodded, "Fragrant, very fragrant, when did you get it?" Is there anything left? It's such a big bowl, why don't I get half of it out for your father to eat, I can't eat so much. ”

With such a delicious braised pork, Xu naturally also thinks about his child's father, and she has never eaten noodles with so much meat, so she can't help but feel very luxurious.

Shen Shuang hurriedly stopped her, "I marinated a big bowl, the three of us ate three-quarters of it, and the rest is Dad's, mother, you just eat it." ”

When the two mothers and daughters were talking, Xiaoshan also raised his head, and they were already planning to share some of the braised pork in their bowls for his father to eat, but when he heard his sister's words, he continued to eat noodles in silence.

After lunch, Shen Shuang also took a nap beautifully, feeling that such a calm life without work, good things to eat, and no need to go out was in line with the goal she had set before: to eat and wait for death.

But now Shen Shuang is still a little far from eating and waiting for death, and she has to deal with all kinds of bad things every day, and her spirit is tense every day.

Shen Shuang has a hunch that after the calm, there will definitely be a violent storm, of course, she is not afraid, she plans to come to cover the water and earth, just take it easy.

After waking up in the afternoon, Shen Shuang went to the neighborhood to cut a little grass and feed the little mules, and then began to take care of the vegetable garden.

Today's weather is gloomy and gloomy, but it is not raining, but there is a very stuffy feeling, the weather has become hot, fortunately in Xishan Village, the temperature is not too high, and it is usually very cool, otherwise Shen Shuang is really afraid that she will not be able to survive the summer by relying on air conditioning as soon as summer comes.

Shen Shuang looked at the corn that was growing very well and had begun to bud rice, and was very happy, but unfortunately the fruits planted were half dead, and it should be that the soil here was not suitable for growing these fruits.

"Sister, sister......"

The sound of Xiaoshan came from far and near, Shen Shuang turned his head to look, but it was Xiaoshan running towards the vegetable garden with the little wolf cub, only to see that he was carrying a big fish in his hand, and followed by the stone, carrying a colorful pheasant in his hand.

Shen Shuang's first reaction when he saw the fish and pheasants was that the little hunter was coming.

Shen Shuang got up and walked over to meet the two of them, only to find that the fish Xiaoshan was carrying was a big grass carp, although he had recently grown meat and grown taller, but it was still a little difficult to carry such a big grass carp, she hurriedly took it, and then looked at the stone that ran to her, panting, and sweating profusely, obviously because it was too hard to carry these two things.

Shen Shuang stared at him and held up the big grass carp, "Stones, fish and pheasants?" ”

The stone threw the pheasant that had been tied at his feet, and gasped heavily, "Little, Sister Xiaoshuang, Brother Orion sent it, let me send it, give it to you." ”

Shen Shuang wrinkled her nose, "After gasping for breath and talking, you ran to the foot of the mountain?" ”

Shi Shi gasped, this time the speech was quite smooth, he shook his head, "No, no, wow, I was picking fruit on the hillside with my friends, Brother Orion, he came with a big grass carp and pheasant." He just looked at me, and left the grass carp and pheasant and left, I couldn't stop him, but I knew that he must have given these two things to you, how about Sister Xiaoshuang? Am I smart? ”

Shen Shuangpi glanced at him with a smile, "If you are smart, you won't bring the dying grass carp and pheasant here, you two will help me bring back the hoe and the vegetables in the basket." ”

As he spoke, Shen Shuang held the grass carp in one hand and grabbed the pheasant on the ground in the other hand and walked home.

After taking two steps, she looked down at the little wolf cub who was following closely at her feet, she said that something was not quite right today, and she remembered when she looked at the little thing, it seemed that she hadn't seen it all day.

Seeing that it was still stained with grass clippings, she seriously suspected that it had gone out to fool around.

The little wolf cub, who had been looked at suspiciously by Shen Shuang several times, paused consciously, and then stopped following her and went to rub the hill instead.

Shen Shuang threw the grass carp in the basin, and the injured pheasant was thrown in the cage on the side, planning to kill the soup for a while, just to give it to her mother.

She hadn't seen Little Orion for a few days, and when she went to give him dumplings a few days ago, he was not there, and he suddenly gave him fish and pheasants, Shen Shuang guessed that he might have given him a gift back, and she couldn't help but remember his voice, maybe he could speak.

Shen Shuang still trusted the medical skills of the doctor in the Guishan Town, and she also made a special inquiry, the old doctor used to open a medical center in the capital, and he came to the Guishan Town just because he was from here and wanted to be in his hometown.

Speaking of which, Xiaoshan and Xiao Orion were lucky, so Shen Shuang hoped that the next time he saw him, he would be a little Orion who could talk.

Thinking like this, Shen Shuang had a little more expectations.

Xiaoshan and Shi walked in with a basket full of vegetables, and a small hoe on their back, interrupting Shen Shuang's thoughts.

She cleaned the vegetables she had pulled back, and seeing that it was almost dark, she began to kill the chicken and make the soup, intending to boil it for an hour or two before the chicken soup would be delicious.

Killing chickens is not what Shen Shuang is good at, but there is no one at home, she can only bite the bullet, the stone and the hill boiled hot water, she followed what she learned before, first bleed the chicken, and then scalded the chicken with hot water, and scalded it for a while to see if the chicken feathers could be pulled, and then began to pluck the chicken feathers.

It took a lot of effort to clean up the pheasant, cut it into small squares and throw it into the pot to boil the soup, plus some red dates and mushrooms that she bought before, and after stewing the chicken soup, she began to kill fish again.

Killing fish is much simpler than killing chickens, but it is particularly fishy, Shen Shuang looked at this big grass carp, thinking that there were sun-dried Chaotian peppers and sauerkraut at home, so he cut the fish into thin slices, intending to make sauerkraut fish.

Xiaoshan and Shishi, who were cutting the fish fillet, were feeding the little mule at the door, suddenly ran in and said mysteriously, "Sister Xiaoshuang, my sister-in-law is back, and she is still carrying a burden." ”

The stone's words made Shen Shuang stunned for a moment, and only then did he look up and see Shen Chuntao walking in at the door, and Shen Chuntao was still very embarrassed.

Shen Chuntao didn't go home directly after being kicked out of the Yang Mansion early this morning, but went to find her third brother Shen Shuisheng, thinking about asking him if there was any way for her to meet Young Master Yang, and also give her a chance to reform and defend herself.

Shen Chuntao has always been arrogant before, she felt that she could be the aunt of the young master of the Yang Mansion in the future, and she was suddenly kicked out, she naturally didn't want to go back to Xishan Village, and more seriously, some villagers saw her being kicked out in the morning, and Shen Chuntao was very afraid that everyone would know that she was kicked out of the Yang Mansion.

Moreover, Shen Chuntao felt that she hadn't seen Young Master Yang, who had always liked her, and thought that there was definitely a turnaround in this matter.

Shen Shuisheng was not at home today, but went to Manfulou to do business, and he sold several baskets of peach gum from home to Manfulou, and got more than 2,000 taels of silver.

Of course, more than 2,000 taels of silver, Shen Shuisheng quietly saved more than 1,000 taels, which can be regarded as a clear account on Wang Baoniang's side.

Naturally, the Wang family couldn't ask for these pieces of silver that sold peach gum, but Shen Shuisheng still gave the two old men a hundred taels of silver with a wave of his hand, and also gave a thousand taels of silver to his wife, so over the years, Shen Shuisheng, who has always felt that he is not upright enough to straighten his waist and be a man, has also hardened his waist, and his status in the family has risen sharply, and the attitude of Old Man Wang and Old Lady Wang towards him is even different from before.
