Chapter 9: Simple Happiness

After making money, the heroine of the family first has a beautiful and full meal, what roast chicken, roast duck, braised pork, and the most unfortunate thing is the meat bun and shredded meat noodles as the base.

"Alas......" sighed softly, why was she so miserable.

What about the braised pork, what about the spicy chicken, and what about the good back to the pot~

How many times have you thought about the food when you dreamed back!

"Okay, okay, all have meat to eat." Shen Yulan was very helpless, "Then didn't you have a bad time in your mother's house before?" Can you eat meat every day? What's not to be satisfied with now? ”

Chu Yan held her forehead: "That's different, I didn't have money before, but now I have money, of course I want to eat well." ”

I want her to be a carnivore, although it is not a big fish and meat every day in modern times, but it is also a day of meat and vegetarian matching.

In order to eat meat, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and work hard, Chu Yan secretly made up her mind.

In any case, they did not return empty-handed today, and the return journey became extraordinarily close, and the two of them were in a very happy mood, and their steps were brisker.

In less than an hour, the thatched houses in Jinshan Village appeared in front of the two of them, and the farmers outside the village faced the loess with their backs to the sky, wielding hoes, and their dark faces sweating like rain, just to fill their stomachs.

Tian and Wang Laoshi were among them, and the people next to the fields were inevitably chatting.

And with the dissipation of the shadow of conscription, people's gossip gradually recovered, and the Wang family bore the first of it.

Especially yesterday, Chu Yan's large-scale purchase of candy pushed the Wang family to the forefront.

"Da Zhuang mother, why didn't Da Zhuang daughter-in-law go to the ground?" A woman straightened up and thumped her aching waist, and Okita asked.

"You also know that she suffered in her mother's house, and her health is not very good, and when she recuperates and comes back to work, we will do it as a couple." Tian replied with a smile.

The woman was different from those who saw the jokes, and nodded approvingly: "This is also true, I heard that Liu Dani is also capable in her mother's family, and you will definitely be able to enjoy happiness in the future, even if the people in the village are inevitably gossiping, don't take it to heart." ”

At this moment, Chu Yan and Shen Yulan came from the foot of the mountain by the path and heard what the woman said.

Listening to it in the ears, it is the best thing Chu Yan has heard these days, and in addition, it is either gossip or sarcasm of the Ming Dynasty.

"Dad, mother, I'm back." Chu Yan carried the basket and stood on the edge of the ground.

Tian and Wang Laoshi raised their heads when they heard the voice, and they wanted to ask how the pastries were sold, but because of the presence of others, they couldn't speak, so they just said, "You go home and rest." ”

"It's okay, Daddy, I'm not tired, I dug up a lot of wild vegetables with Sister Lan this morning, and I'll spread cakes for you to eat at noon."

Chu Yan is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world, at any time in any era, when you have a way to make money beyond others, you will be the object of envy and jealousy of everyone.

Some of them just think about it in their hearts, while some people are openly and secretly sabotage, such as the rumors in the village in the past two days, which are the best examples.

What about Shen Yulan? I don't want others to know that once my mother-in-law knows that yams can be eaten and sold for money, without her husband's support, her life at home will be even more tormented and ruthlessly exploited and oppressed.

So they temporarily went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables as a cover, and secretly went to the town to sell pastries to make money.

Although I don't know how long it will take for the villagers to find out, but now it can only be like this.

Chu Yan didn't have the noble Mother to help others when she had not yet solved her own food and clothing.

Now the matter of the yam must be kept secret, and it is necessary to go to the mountains to find out if there are other places, and if there is, dig it up as soon as possible.

"Yo, this is the big strong daughter-in-law, the first time I saw it, it was like the rumors in the village, it was delicious and didn't put in the effort, I looked at it, I felt that she was capable." The woman's hearty praise.

"Daddy, I don't know what to call this person?"

Tian hurriedly introduced: "I forgot to tell you, this is your Dayong aunt, not far from our house." ”

It turned out that this woman's surname was Lin, her name was Lin Qiuhong, and her husband's name was Wang Dayong, who was about the same age as Wang Laoshi, and her home was only fifty meters away from Wang's house, which was the closest home to Wang's family.

Wang Dayong and Lin have three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Wang Tiezhu is 30 years old, the second son Wang Shizhu is 27 years old, and the third son Wang Tongzhu is 22 years old, the same age as Wang Dazhuang, all of whom have married wives and had children, and their daughter Wang Qiaoer, 17 years old, is in the boudoir.

"Hello Aunt Lin, you are busy first, and we will go back first." After Chu Yan and Shen Yulan greeted everyone, they walked to the village.

The time spent on the back and forth, selling pastries, buying meat and noodles, was almost over in the morning.

Shen Yulan didn't have time to stay at Wang's house for more, so she hurriedly said goodbye: "It's not early, I have to go back quickly, I don't worry about Pippi being at home for a long time." ”

Mother-in-law Yang nominally watches over a few grandchildren at home, but in fact, if she doesn't come home, Yang doesn't think of giving Pippi something to eat for a day.

I really don't know why he is so partial, if it weren't for Wang Facai's good character and honest ability, Shen Yulan would never have married.

In getting along with Shen Yulan and going up the mountain to the town, Chu Yan understood her difficulties, and took out half of the money from selling pastries and distributed it to Shen Yulan.

Shen Yulan waved her hand again and again: "No, no, Da Zhuang's family, I can't ask for so much, you taught me to dig the yams, and you made the pastries, so I didn't do anything." ”

She is content if she can earn a few copper plates, but Chu Yan gave her dozens of pieces, after getting married, how many years has she not seen so much money?

Although the temptation is great, she knows that she has a few pounds and a few taels, and she deserves so much money.

"Sister Lan, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find the yam."

"I can't say that, I didn't know that thing could be eaten, it's all yours, I really can't want it."

The two pushed and shoved for a while, and Shen Yulan grabbed five or six copper plates and fled.

"Sister Lan, don't forget to bring Pippi over to eat steamed buns in the afternoon." Chu Yan's voice came from behind Shen Yulan.

Seeing Shen Yulan away, Chu Yan didn't delay, rolled up her sleeves and began to make noodles, ready to make meat buns.

She started working before dawn, and by now, her stomach was rumbling and barking.

In ancient times, there was no yeast powder, and if you want to make steamed buns soft, you can only use the most traditional dough noodles.

But for the Wang family, who is not celebrating the New Year and can't eat white noodles at all, don't think about it or anything, the time is tight, and it's too late to do it.

Chu Yan could only reconcile the noodles and let it slowly wake up to strength.

At the same time, start preparing the bun filling.

I saw her cut that piece of fat into long strips that were more than half thick, and put it in the pot and fried it slowly over low heat.

With the sound of crackling lard splashing, her saliva secretion became faster and faster.

Through the hazy fireworks, Chu Yan's slightly darkened face became brighter and brighter.
