Chapter 26 out of the morning market
Hearing Chen Xie An's words say the same, Wang hesitated, and Ji Xiang hurriedly wrapped one and handed it to her.
Wang took a bite and chewed it carefully, it was indeed sweet and delicious. But she still wrinkled her eyebrows, a little worried that this raw vegetable would be bad for eating her.
Ji Xiang laughed, "Mother, if you're afraid, next time we can pour some small dough, wrap it and eat it." ”
After eating, I began to prepare fairy tofu.
Originally, it was meant to be dried, so it was also easy to store. But Ji Xiang was afraid that the finished product would not be good, so he took out a small part of the fresh leaves and tried it first.
Chen Xie An was going to help, but was pushed away by Ji Xiang, and it was enough for her and the Wang family to be here.
Fresh leaves are washed, mashed and kneaded by hand into a paste. The filtered ground ash water is then added to the leaf pulp. Next, cover it with something and put it in the shade for a moment or so.
The next thing is to wait.
Wang and Ji Xiang were not idle, and hurriedly cooked the remaining haggis while the sky was still bright. This time, Ji Xiang boiled the brine, and said that the older the brine, the more fragrant it is, she directly took a clean jar and prepared to treat the first brine as the old brine.
The next thing is to put the haggis and mutton and sheep's trotters into clean water and cook them in clean water, and then put them in the brine after they are taken out.
This was bought by Ji Xiang, and there were a few candles with it, but the candles were a little more expensive, and she was reluctant to use them.
Originally, everyone was almost full, and when they smelled the smell of braised haggis, they all drooled.
Chen Xie An watched Ji Xiang skillfully take out a piece and put it into the bowl, and then handed it to Wang. "Mother, how about you taste it?"
The night breeze cooled and blew away a lot of sweat from the three of them.
Wang took a small bite, thinking that he would be late for a mouthful of fishy smell. I didn't expect it to be fragrant, fragrant to the bones. After eating, she looked at the juice in the bowl and felt a little pity, if only she had added some rice.
"Xiang'er, you are really a treasure." Hearing Wang's praise, Ji Xiang's face turned red, and the warm yellow light shone on her body, even if her clothes were thin, her heart was hot.
She didn't favor one over the other, but took a pair of chopsticks again, picked out an appropriate amount of mutton and put it on the plate, and then cut off a small piece of fairy tofu and made it into a cold salad.
A few dogs barked in the distance, Gao Yue glowed coldly, and the kerosene lamp glowed on the small table.
Ji Xiang remembers that there are a few plantain and palms growing behind the hillside in the backyard, and there are also a series of lotus leaves in the pond at the head of the village. Although it has not bloomed, the leaves have already bloomed green, welcoming the beginning of summer.
After supper, the three of them washed up and went back to the house.
Ji Xiang took advantage of Chen Jiean's time outside to hurriedly change his clothes, and at the end of this day, he was in a hurry, and he forgot the discomfort at the beginning.
After putting on clean clothes, Ji Xiang took a warm towel and scrubbed his body slightly, feeling more and more that ancient life was boring and troublesome. The Chen family is not bad, and the family often has dogwood bark at home to clean up the mouth.
I used soap to scrub my body, and after the novelty at the beginning, I missed the various scented shower gels.
It would be nice if I could make some floral-scented shower gel, Ji Xiang thought about it and had some expectations in his heart. It seems that the system says that the space has preliminary processing capacity, and it is a pity not to use such a large flower field.
"What do you think?"
Ji Xiang was in a daze, with only a small flame swaying in his eyes. Suddenly I heard someone talking, so I said what I was thinking.
Chen Jie'an heard the word shower gel for the first time, and looked at Ji Xiang hurriedly covering his mouth, his eyes darkened. He was wearing a white robe, and he moved like an immortal in the wind, "You little brain melon really has a lot of things. ”
"It's all ...... It's all good to be taught by immortals. Ji Xiang smiled flatteringly, but many bad thoughts kept popping up in his head. For example, Chen Jie'an is actually a scumbag, and he wants to use himself to get wealth.
The wooden houses are makeshift and very basic. The small room can only fit a bed and a small table.
At this time, Ji Xiang sat in front of the bed, and the kerosene lamp on the table on the side illuminated her eyes. The surrounding darkness was clearly visible only to her, and the intact rubbing was in Chen Jiean's eyes that were jumping with flames.
It was obviously so close, but Chen Xie An sensed the distance. It was as if the two of them were in different places, within reach and as far away as they could be.
"Xiang'er, Xiang'er." Chen Jie'an's heart seemed to be empty, and he screamed a few times in a row, his voice was slightly low, like a muffled thunder from somewhere. Ji Xiang looked up in confusion and asked with puzzled eyes.
Chen Jiean, who learned that he was out of shape, hurriedly turned his head to control the inexplicable panic. He just had, what's wrong, why did he have a very strange idea.
He felt that he would lose Ji Xiang.
This thought was ethereal, he didn't grasp it, and he didn't deal with it immediately. Instead, he tried his best to suppress it and laugh at his crankiness.
Ji Xiang didn't know what was wrong with Xianggong, he was happy and annoyed for a while. She reached out and tugged at the man's sleeve. "Xianggong, go to bed early. I have to get up before dawn tomorrow morning, and I have a lot of work to do. ”
She has already told Wang how to make rice cakes, except for the strong labor of Chen Jie'an, which requires Chen Jie'an, to make rice milk, and the other steps will be done as soon as they are done.
At night, Ji Xiang fell asleep.
The bed was big and she slept in it. Both of them were lying in their clothes and did not cross the thunder pool.
Chen Xie An leaned over and helped Ji Xiang, who was facing away from him, to fold the quilt. He smelled the unique fragrance of the woman, and his heart was ape for a while.
"Hmm, scallion noodles, steamed buns...... The buns are delicious, wowotou, a dollar...... Four...... Hey. ”
Ji Xiang turned over, and his playful face was pressed out with red marks. When Chen Xie An's touch it, he heard these dream words.
Especially when he heard the smirk that couldn't be concealed by four dollars for the first dollar, Chen Xie An's puff laughed.
He tidied up the eye-catching hair, and then looked at Ji Xiang, who was asleep. Because she was resting on her arm, her red lips opened slightly, and she drooled a lot.
"What an uneasy one." Chen Xie said softly, helped wipe it clean, took her arm away, and carefully placed it under the quilt.
After doing this, Chen Jie'an listened to the wind outside and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, everyone had not woken up, and the Chen family was already busy.
The fairy tofu is wrapped in plantain and placed in a back basket. The braised mutton was found in a bamboo tube by Ji Xiang. In addition to these, it is the rice cake that has just been made.
The pieces of rice cakes are soft and fluffy, and they quickly pop back when pressed. There are three points of sweetness, which will not be greasy or light.
As for last night's roast lamb chops, all three of them ate more.
The rice cake was hot and delicious, so Ji Xiang deliberately took out a new quilt weighing three catties. This is the cotton that was beaten before, and it has not been used yet. Put the rice cakes in a basket and cover them with a quilt to keep them warm for a while.
"Xiang'er, I'll go with you." Chen Xie An was unhappy when he saw the basket, and Ji Xiang was happy when he saw that the cheap minister wanted to accompany him.
Let her really go alone, there is still a sense of hesitation in her heart.
She seems to have become dependent on Chen Jie'an. Ji Xiang immediately shook his head and threw such a ridiculous idea out of his mind. said that she lived clearly and thoroughly, but it was better to say that she had low self-esteem, she didn't think that Chen Jie'an would like an ordinary woman like herself.
Moreover, even if in the future, he soared and ascended to a high position, there should not be a peasant woman standing next to him. This is the trend of the times, although Ji Xiang has always thought that she is the heroine, but there is always uneasiness in her heart, and this uneasiness comes from fighting.
In her opinion, as long as she is on the side of high society, she must keep fighting. Whether it's a house fight or a palace fight, this is not what Ji Xiang wants. She likes this idyllic life, which is easy and free of intrigue.
"Then I'll go hunting in the morning and pick you up early." Chen Xie An touched the top of Ji Xiang's head and felt that his daughter-in-law not only loved to cry but also loved to be in a daze. The whole person was stunned, but when he was really in danger, the fangs in his mouth would be exposed.
Here, the Wang family saw that the little couple had a good relationship, and said happily: "Untie the saddle, you can rest assured." Xiang'er's side, my mother will watch. She grabbed Ji Xiang's hand again and said that she would go with her.
Ji Xiang came back to his senses, looked at the concerned eyes of the two, and bent his eyes. "Mother, Xianggong, I'm fine. With my strength, when I encounter a bad person, only he is afraid of me. ”
Chen Xie An remembered Ji Xiang's strength in the bazaar yesterday. At that time, he was startled, if he hadn't quietly pierced the horse...... He didn't speak, this brute force can't compare to his skill, but ordinary men, I'm afraid it can't be compared.
Wang didn't know, and thought that Ji Xiang was saying something to comfort her. I was already satisfied with her in my heart, but now I have a little more pity.
Seeing that the Wang family still had to pull with Ji Xiang, Chen Xie An interjected and said, "Mother, Xiang'er has a number. It's a renovation of the house, and you have to supervise the work. ”
They are all from the village, and the Wang family has nothing to worry about. However, Chen Jie'an said so, and she didn't chase Ji Xiang to follow.
"You take the money, buy something delicious when you're hungry, don't save it." Wang took out two taels of silver and a lot of copper plates from the purse on his waist, and after handing them to Ji Xiang, he said several times before letting her go out with peace of mind.
Ji Xiang took out a small jar from the house, and inside it was the mud and sand at the bottom of the spiritual spring. Give it to Wang and ask her to hand it over to Uncle Saturday, so that Zhou Caidie can use this to paint her face every night before going to bed. And don't wipe your face with a towel in the future, the movement should be gentle, and the towel should be changed frequently.
When she comes back later, she will give the medicine she is taking to Zhou Caidie.
By the time she walked to the county seat, the morning market had come to an end. Many large households basically order vegetables, and they usually don't come out. So the streets are bustling with ordinary women who come out early, who are shrewd but willing to spend money on their children and husbands.
Ji Xiang set up his stall and hung up the bamboo row written by Chen Xie in the morning. The black characters are beautiful and atmospheric, and the pen is as sharp as a sword, even if you don't know it, you are willing to take a few more looks.
Several people were attracted to it, and the illiterate woman asked Ji Xiang what he wrote.
"Fairy tofu, three pieces of text. Red date rice cake, four pieces of text. Ji Xiang didn't have a table, and the ground was covered with rags. The fairy tofu rested on the boxy wooden board, and was cut into six pieces by Ji Xiang, all wrapped in banana leaves to avoid dust.
The rice cake is placed in a basket, covered with banana leaves, and covered with a thick quilt.
The woman couldn't see the appearance of the fairy tofu and rice cakes, and her face was a little unsightly.
Among them was a fat lady, dressed in gold and silver, with a basket on her arm. She looked at Ji Xiang and said, "Little girl, your name is so good, I don't know if the food is delicious." ”
The corners of her eyes rose slightly, and she was condescending, and her posture of speaking made Ji Xiang very uncomfortable. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Xiang heard a familiar voice from behind the crowd.
