Chapter Ninety-Five: Remembering the Cloth
Jiang Zitong didn't have any resistance to the small animal at all, and walked towards the little wolf cub with bright eyes, and then was pulled by Shen Shuang, looking at her with a very serious face, "Jiang Zitong, now there is a task for you." ”
Shen Shuang's serious expression made Jiang Zitong's hair stand on end, especially after she called her full name, she almost felt like she was being called by her grandfather, "Task? Okay, Sister Shen, I like the task the most, what kind of task is it, you say, I promise to complete it. ”
Shen Shuang smiled mysteriously, "Just now, didn't you say that you wanted to watch the tiger and the wolf?" ”
Jiang Zitong nodded, "Yes, Sister Shen, you want to take me to see it now, right?" I'll call Uncle Mo, I'm still a little scared. ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm still a little wolf. Xiaoshan, bring it over in vain. ”
Xiaoshan and Shi looked at the interaction between the two of them a little strange, so they handed it to Shen Shuang for nothing, Jiang Zitong wanted to hug this little thing just now, and when he saw that its hair was so good-looking, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, "Sister Shen, is it called Baibai?" Although this puppy is different from the puppies I have seen before, it looks so energetic and mighty. ”
Shen Shuang glanced at her, and pulled the white wolf's ears expressionlessly, "It's not a dog, it's a wolf." ”
"How is it possible, I've seen wolf skins, it's gray and not white."
"In vain, call this sister twice."
"Woo woo woo ......"
This time, the little wolf cub was really hardworking, but it screamed too loudly, and everyone in the Shen family house heard it.
This Xishan Village is surrounded by mountains, and sometimes the howl of wolves can still be transmitted to the village in the middle of the night, and when they hear this cry, although Old Man Shen and Shen Musheng are strange, they don't think much about it, after all, in broad daylight, the cry sounds insufficient, but it seems to be deliberately imitated, and besides, they feel that there will be no wolves in Xishan Village at all.
But Uncle Mo is the one who has beaten the wolf, and as soon as he heard this cry, he immediately ran into the kitchen towards the howl, and then saw his young lady holding a white puppy, no, or a little wolf cub.
"Uncle Mo, you're here, come and see, this little wolf cub is so well-behaved. Just now Sister Shen asked it to call, and it really screamed, so obedient. ”
Uncle Mo couldn't help frowning, stepped forward and couldn't help but remind her, "...... Miss, what you are holding is a wolf. ”
Shen Shuang looked at him more when he heard Uncle Mo's words, and saw that Uncle Mo was silent and didn't like to talk, but he didn't expect that he was still a knowledgeable person, and Jiang Zitong looked at him in surprise, and then said, "I know, Sister Shen told me, I just thought it was a puppy." ”
Shen Shuang added, "Uncle Mo, this little wolf cub is very humane, it won't bite. ”
Uncle Mo was a little worried to take a look, but thinking that this little thing was still small, since his young lady liked him, it was difficult to stop it, and it seemed that the wolf was indeed different from what he had ever seen, it turned out to be a white wolf, and he didn't know if it was because of the mutation, but his mood was still a little complicated, he knew that this Shen Shuang was extraordinary, but this Shen family was very ordinary, and he didn't have to worry about his young lady being deceived.
After Uncle Mo went out, Jiang Zitong continued to hold the little wolf cub and tease, but at this time, it was going to hide in the pyre to sleep, Jiang Zitong was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but coquettish Shen Shuang again, "Sister Shen, you are so amazing, where did you find this little wolf cub, can you help me find one?" Or, give me this one. ”
Shen Shuang glanced at her and refused directly, "No!" I think you're pretty good for a kitten. ”
Jiang Zitong pursed his lips, "By the way, what task did Sister Shen just say?" ”
Shen Shuang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, in fact, the task is very simple, you will hold the little wolf cub and give it to me in front of our family in a while, so that I can help you raise it." ”
Jiang Zitong was confused, although she didn't quite understand why she was doing this, but sometimes she didn't like to get to the bottom of it, so she nodded as if she didn't understand, and the two began to work together to cook dinner.
Before Jiang Zitong came over today, Jiang Zipei specially asked the family's vegetable buyer to prepare two chickens and ten catties of pork to bring over, in addition to some dumplings that have been wrapped and some soup ingredients that can be boiled, there are still a lot of miscellaneous things, these things are put in the kitchen by Uncle Mo, and the food and gifts are all placed in the hall.
When Shen Shuang packed up everything, her mother Xu Shi came back, and there was one more person who could help prepare dinner, as for Jiang Zitong, who couldn't do anything to watch the excitement, she directly threw the task of watching the fire to her.
Shen Shuang threw the chicken that had been killed into the pot to cook the soup, plus the mushrooms that could be boiled and some soup stock brought by Jiang Zitong, while the other one she put away and planned to cut the chicken porridge tomorrow morning.
Shen Shuang's favorite is the ten catties of pork, she thinks that meat is not easy to eat pork, she has only seen the little pig at home since she came here, but pork has never been seen once, and the Shen family never buys pork.
Now seeing so much pork, Shen Shuang's eyes can be described as shining, and there is also a lot of room for her to play, she plans to use particularly fatty meat to squeeze oil, pork belly to make braised pork, and some lean meat to cut some peas and fresh fungus picked back from the vegetable garden, and there are also cold spring bamboo shoots with her special seasoning.
Shen Shuang gave Shi a few pennies and asked him to go to Xiaoyun's house in the village to make tofu with Xiaoshan to buy some tofu and come back, she planned to get some Hakka tofu inlaid with minced meat for everyone to taste, the one hundred taels of silver tickets she earned before were still worried that she couldn't spend it, Jiang Zitong came here and became an excuse for her to spend money to buy food, and Jiang Zitong brought so many ingredients, she didn't want to do it in order to save, so she just made a big meal and rewarded her father and mother.
Jiang Zitong watched Shen Shuang neatly prepare dishes and stir-fry vegetables on the side, she was simply dazzled, her eyes were straight as she stared, "Sister Shen, these things smell so good, I didn't expect you to cook rice, I can't even make dumplings." What are these red ones? It tastes so good, can you eat it? ”
Shen Shuang kneaded the pork with salt without looking back, "Of course you can eat it, and it's very delicious, this is called Chaotian pepper, I picked it on the mountain, I can take you to pick it tomorrow." ”
"Chaotian pepper? I don't seem to have heard of it, then I really have to taste it, I tasted all those big restaurants when I was in the capital, and I really haven't seen your kind of Chaotian pepper, this taste is quite special. ”
Shen Shuang didn't say a word, she didn't expect this place to be spicy, in her opinion, sweet and sour, bittersweet and salty, this spicy is more appetizing than sweet.
Shen Shuang and Xu Shi were busy in the kitchen, a steady stream of fragrance came out, when Xiao Wan came back, as soon as he smelled the smell of chili peppers in the yard, he covered his nose and put down the pigweed first, and then scolded and walked into the hall to see the situation, she could see the big carriage, the person who could sit in such a beautiful carriage was generous, and he must be a rich master.
In the hall, Old Man Shen and Wan Shi were still staying in the hall to count the gifts brought by Jiang Zitong, originally Wan Shi was going to stuff them all into the cabinet and take them for himself, but when Old Man Shen said it, she had to reluctantly say that she wanted to divide all the things into five parts, even with the third child in the town.
Of course, these things can't all be distributed equally, and she looks like she is reluctant to share them, so she spreads them out and counts them all the same, and after dividing those Meiyuan Ji snacks and some candy snacks, Wan Shi holds three pieces of cloth and can't put it down.
"These three pieces of cloth are really slippery to the touch, and they look like silk and satin material, and they must be worth a lot of money. Old man, why don't we take them to town and sell them for money? Our third child will definitely have to spend a lot of money to take the show exam in the town. Lotus has to say kiss in a few years, Noble is now six years old, and it will cost a lot of money to go to a private school at that time, and the two of us have nothing to help them, so why don't we exchange some money? ”
Old man Shen glanced at it and knew that the cloth was a good thing, but he also had his own thoughts, "This is not possible, these three pieces of cloth will cost dozens of taels of silver, if all the silver sold is given to the third child, the eldest and the second child know that they want to make trouble, what can they do?" ”
Wan Shi didn't care, "What can they do?" Who am I going to give my own money to, and who will it be their turn to talk too much? The eldest and the second are my sons, and they don't dare to say anything. ”
"Then there are still two daughters-in-law here, I think it's better to leave a piece of cloth, the pillar is fifteen this year, and I will say goodbye in two years, it is better to keep it as a dowry when the time comes, and also fight for dignity for the child on the pillar."
"What decency do you want? With such a good cloth, which girl can deserve it, she really dares to ask for such a dowry? The pillar is still small, when the time comes, I will go to the town to buy a piece of cloth, such a good cloth is better to let our spring peach to make clothes to wear, she is a big girl, maybe she looks good, she can marry to the Yang Mansion to be a young lady, and then we can become the Yang Mansion in-laws. ”
Xiao Wanshi didn't even walk in the door and eavesdropped on the side of the door, her face was quite ugly when she heard these conversations, so she turned to the kitchen with her feet before she entered the hall, and ran in to find Xu Shi who was busy with her nose in her hands, "Oh, Xiaoshuang, what is this so delicious?" It's just a little spicy, and the chicken and pork, oh my God, it's so hearty. ”
Xiao Wan originally came to find someone, but when he saw the things on the table, he couldn't take his eyes off, and then he also saw Jiang Zitong standing on the side, and the latter also looked at her with strange eyes, "Sister Shen, who is this eldest lady?" ”
Shen Shuang saw that Xiao Wan's couldn't care about the smell of chili peppers, and he didn't even cover his nose, so he couldn't help but smile and introduced, "This is my second aunt, second aunt, this is Miss Jiang." ”
"Oh, you're Miss Jiang? These things ......"
Shen Shuang didn't have time to listen to Xiao Wan's sycophants, and directly picked up the plate of chili peppers, "Second aunt is in trouble?" I still have to fry chili peppers, why don't you go out first? ”
