Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Diligent Boy
Lin Mei didn't want him to help, but he was too enthusiastic and had to help pick it home.
Fighting on the road, it is still eye-catching, Lin Mei simply gave up, he wants to pick it, Lin Mei went to chop wood in the morning, her tired shoulder hurts, just rest.
Back at home, Lin Mei briefly introduced Gu Muqing to Father Lin, and had no intention of staying guests.
Gu Muqing is a self-acquaintance, Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin's, Huan with a small mouth, helped Lin Mei pour water into the tank, and when she saw that the water was not full, she took the initiative to carry water.
After an afternoon's work, Gu Muqing and the Lin family were familiar, either helping to carry water, or helping Lin Mei clean up, chatting with Daddy Lin in his free time, I heard that Daddy Lin had been a soldier, and he took the little peach to listen to Daddy Lin talk about the war.
Father Lin is also interested, and only talks about the things he heard and found interesting when he was not fighting.
The funny little peach and Gu Muqing laughed, Xu is laughter was too hearty, Lin Mei let down her guard against this Gu Muqing.
When it was almost time to eat, Lin Mei thought that Gu Muqing would stay, but less than a moment after Shanzi returned, she said goodbye and left.
At dinner, the family sat around the table. The six eyes looked at Lin Mei in unison, and Lin Mei felt weak in her heart. Buried in the head and quickly finished eating, said that he was full and left the scene quickly.
This made everyone feel that there was no silver and three hundred silver here, but everyone did not debunk it.
Lin Mei hid in the kitchen before she reacted, turned her depression into strength, lifted the soaked beans, took an empty bucket, filled it with two pieces of tofu, said hello to the family members who were eating in the hall and left.
Because there were more beans than last time, when the beans were all ground, it was already dark, but fortunately there were no clouds to cover the moon, Lin Mei carried two buckets of bean juice and went home slowly by the moonlight.
"Let me do it......"
The sudden sound startled Lin Mei and almost spilled the bean juice.
"People are scary, they can scare people to death, where did you come from?" After Lin Mei saw the person clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After the meal, Gu Muqing planned to go to Lin's house, but when he saw Lin Mei entering Tian's house, it was not easy to take the liberty to follow, so he kept waiting on the side of the road, and he waited until now.
The two buckets of bean juice were a little heavy, Gu Muqing took it, Lin Mei no longer refused, someone was willing to choose, let him go, Lin Mei was happy to wander home empty-handed.
"How did you know I was here?" Lin Mei asked.
How to answer this, trailing all the way? Waiting? Saying which one will make people misunderstand, Gu Muqing was afraid of scaring Lin Mei, so he simply didn't squeak.
For a long time, Gu Muqing asked, "Do you want to make tofu, I'll help you in a while." ”
"You can also make tofu?" Lin Mei wondered.
"My mother will, I will help her occasionally."
"You're coming home late, aren't you afraid that your aunt will blame you?" Lin Mei agreed.
"I came to help my aunt with her work, but the old lady in her family didn't treat me very well, and I didn't want to be disgusted, so I didn't go back until she went to sleep." Gu Muqing said.
What kind of person is this, only let the horses run, and not let the horses graze......
As if everyone owed her, as if she deserved it, Lin Mei had seen the selfishness of the old lady of the Fang family that day. Today, after listening to Gu Muqing say this, I have a new understanding of the old lady on the other side~~ The Tang Dynasty version of Gelangtai.
Lin Mei didn't know what to say, so she opened the topic and asked about Gu Muqing's family situation.
Gu Muqing seemed to open the chatterbox, and after a while, he explained the specific situation of the family in detail, so detailed that even the family had a dog, and a litter of puppies last winter, and even the color of the puppies was clearly explained.
When it comes to dogs, Lin Mei actually wants to raise one, in this era when traffic is basically walked, communication is basically roaring, and public security is basically based on dogs, the family can raise a dog, which means that the family is okay.
asked Gu Muqing if he could sell a puppy to her.
"What kind of money can I talk to me, I'll go back and get it for you tomorrow." After Gu Muqing finished speaking, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Gu Muqing's family lives in Sanlidun, west of Baishui Town, and it takes a whole day to run back and forth. Lin Mei also just heard what Gu Muqing said, and even refused: "You don't have to run for a day, it's the same when you come next time."
Gu Muqing thought about it and said: "My aunt's work is almost over, I'll go back tomorrow, maybe my father will come over in a few days, and it's almost clear again, and I don't know when I'll go next time." ”
After speaking, he remembered something and asked: "Have you planted corn in your field, if you don't plant it, I will go back two days later and help your family plant it before leaving." ”
"My family doesn't have that much land, so there is an eight-point vegetable plot in the backyard, and I planted a four-point plot of corn in the previous days." Lin Mei said.
After hearing this, Gu Muqing regretted it a little, and was unwilling, "Then do you have a paddy field at home?" ”
"There are three acres of paddy fields, all planted with wheat."
"Well, when you harvest the wheat, I'll come and help your family harvest it." Gu Muqing seemed to have found an excuse to come again, and he was immediately happy again.
What a warm-hearted and good boy, Lin Mei thought to herself.
The two talked and laughed, and unconsciously returned to Lin's house.
Shanzi peeked a few times with his eyes, and muttered a few words in Daddy Lin's ear, and Daddy Lin also looked at the kitchen from time to time. After saying that he knew, he went into the kitchen with his crutch.
Shanzi took the Shanzi Sutra with the little peach, followed behind Daddy Lin, and also entered the kitchen, which was originally a small kitchen, suddenly became narrow.
Father Lin sat in front of the stove, adding some firewood from time to time, and Shanzi sat next to Father Lin with a little peach, teaching his sister to recognize words by means of the dim oil lamp in the kitchen.
Lin Mei fiddled with the cleaned mold, but Gu Muqing stood by the pot stirring the bean juice.
This seemingly warm scene exudes an indescribable weirdness.
Lin Mei saw that the bean juice was almost cooked, and poured the gypsum water prepared earlier into the pot, Gu Muqing frowned when she saw it, and asked, "Isn't the brine you just added?" ”
Lin Mei then remembered that this tofu is divided into north and south, the north tofu is made of brine, and the south tofu is made of gypsum water.
Lin Mei's method is completely the practice of southern tofu, but I don't know how to explain it, but Daddy Lin also stared at Lin Mei, and it seems that Daddy Lin also has some suspicions.
"This is the practice in the south, the brine is not easy to find, I used to hear people say that you can also make tofu with gypsum water, so I tried it, and the result was successful, after a while, you taste, it is more tender and smooth than the brine tofu." This statement is also in line with what I said to Father Lin before, seeing that the two of them believed it to be true, it can be regarded as a circle.
The first pot of tofu was made, and Lin Mei asked Gu Muqing to bring some back for the Gu family to taste. There is also the meaning of driving people in it, although it is not a lonely man and a widow on this big night, but he doesn't want Gu Muqing to think crookedly.
When Gu Muqing was leaving, he greeted Daddy Lin, but Daddy Lin didn't say anything, just smiled at Gu Muqing and nodded.
Gu Muqing was a little lost, and went back to Fang's house with the tofu that was still hot.
Early in the morning, Lin Mei went to the town with tofu, and as soon as she walked to the entrance of the village, she saw Gu Muqing standing there and smirking.
It seemed that he was used to it, Gu Muqing took the tofu basket directly, and Lin Mei did not refuse. Lin Meiyin was doing business for the first time, thinking that people relied on clothes, so she wore a newly made dress, a carmine gown, and Lin Mei's skin was even fairer. The original two long braids were also simply tied on both sides of the head to form a bag and a head.
caused Gu Muqing's heart to beat faster, and he walked behind along the way and looked at the slender back wrapped in red, and the wolf howled in his heart.
