134 Farmhouse
"Is anyone there?!" Wei Anning and Chang Xiaoxiao knocked on the courtyard door together.
Squeak - it was a seven or eight-year-old girl who opened the door: "Huh?! Who are you looking for? ”
The two little girls thought about many possibilities before knocking on the door, but they didn't expect that the person who opened the door was not the adult of the house at all. I didn't know how to open my mouth for a while. However, An Ning's reaction was quite fast: "Pretty sister! We are students on loan from the threshing floor, and we have no time to cook tonight, so we would like to ask if we can buy some food at your house. ”
The little girl thought it was very interesting, but she still didn't immediately agree: "You wait a while, I'll ask my mother." With that, he turned and ran back into the house. After a while, the little girl led his mother out.
"Come in, children, the house is simple, and you don't say anything to buy or not, you can have a meal at my house." The woman said crisply.
An Ning and Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and thanked each other with crooked eyebrows: "Thank you, Auntie!" Then bother. ”
"What's not to bother?! The village chief has greeted us before, and my family has received your usual money. Not to mention eating a meal, even eating for ten days and half a month is enough. The woman said as she led the two children into the house.
Chang Xiaoxiao was a little confused when she heard this, and took out the ten cents from her pocket: "It turns out that Mr. has given money?" But just now, the gentleman gave us a task, saying that each child should take ten yuan to buy something to eat? ”
This woman was also a clever woman, and as soon as she heard what the gentleman said, she immediately understood what the gentleman meant. After thinking about it, he said: "Your husband is not wrong, one yard is one yard, and the one or two pieces of silver are used for other purposes." It really can't be used as money for your meal today, but our family can't eat as much as ten cents per person today. After all, they are all vegetarian and coarse grains, and one of you will give four pieces of silver to eat. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. took eight cents from Chang Xiaoxiao's hand and left two cents.
At this time, Wei Anning said smartly: "Then if we give you all the money, won't we be able to eat better?!" ”
Ay?! Madame thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, if you give another five cents, you can add a meat dish." You two must have eaten enough. ”
As a result, An Ning took the two cents in Chang Xiaoxiao's hand and her own ten cents, and handed them to the woman: "Then please ask Auntie to make more delicious food." I would like to invite this sister to eat with you. ”
The woman had the money in her hand and looked at the two little girls fixedly. On the other hand, the little girl who listened to them looked very happy and wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't help it, and just blindly pursed her lips and smiled there.
"Nacheng, let's touch the light of you two little girls today." After all, he was still a neat person, and he only hesitated for a short time before agreeing.
While talking, several people entered the hall, and the lady left a sentence: "Xing'er, you talk to your two sisters, and I'll let your father cook two more dishes." He turned around and walked to the kitchen in the west wing.
"It turns out that my sister's name is Yue Xing'er?! That's a nice name. Chang Xiaoxiao immediately took the initiative to say.
"It's not Yue Xing'er, it's Yue Xiaoxing. Because our generation is a [small] generation, there is a small character in the name of our peers. At first, my nickname was the same as other children in the village, called Xiaoxing. It's just that after a long time, Xiaoxing Xiaoxing has always become cautious, and other children always make fun of me. Then my father and mother renamed me Xing'er. Yue Xiaoxing said carefully.
"I know! I know! It's not a good boy to make fun of other people's names! Chang Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.
Yue Xiaoxing was glad that someone was on her side and asked, "What about you?!" What's your name?! ”
"My name is Wei Anning, you can call me Anning."
Chang Xiaoxiao's words were intercepted by An Ning, and in a hurry, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Chang Xiaoxiao!" My name is Chang Xiaoxiao, and Sister Xing'er just calls me Xiaoxiao. ”
Being so excited startled Yue Xiaoxing: "What are you doing with your hands up?!" I thought you were going to hit me! ”
An Ning quickly pressed Chang Xiaoxiao's hand down and said in a low voice: "This is not a kindergarten, it is someone else's home." You don't need to raise your hand to speak. ”
Chang Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly: "I know, but I just accidentally forgot about it." ”
Yue Xiaoxing listened to the conversation between the two, and said with some curiosity: "Did you go to school so early?!" ”
An Ning told her seriously: "We are not a school there, but a kindergarten." ”
Yue Xiaoxing was even more strange: "It's not a school, so how can there be a gentleman?" Isn't that what teaches literacy? ”
Chang Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, it's not." Our husband does not teach us to read. When we first started kindergarten, we all learned Hanyu Pinyin. I thought I was going to learn to read and write soon, but my husband said that he was going to [go to elementary school]. I don't understand either, since I don't teach literacy, why do I have to learn Hanyu Pinyin. But the gentleman really didn't teach us to read. ”
In this regard, Wei Anning didn't understand what his mother meant at all. However, Chang Xiaoxiao is right.
Yue Xiaoxing couldn't figure it out, but she didn't delve into it: "Then what do you usually study?!" ”
Wei Anning: "We learn etiquette. ”
Chang Xiaoxiao: "Yes, yes, we have to be a good boy who knows how to be polite!" ”
Wei Anning: "Martial arts." ”
Chang Xiaoxiao: "Yes, yes, we have to have a healthy body!" ”
Wei Anning: "Musical instruments." ”
Chang Xiaoxiao: "You can play good songs and cultivate your temperament." ”
Wei Anning: "Dance." ”
Chang Xiaoxiao: "It can make us more elegant." ”
Wei Anning: "Handmade"
Chang Xiaoxiao: "You can make a lot of interesting things. ”
Yue Xiaoxing listened to the two of them singing and talking in harmony, and was very envious in her heart: "It turns out that you all have so many things?!" ”
While the children were talking, Xing'er Niang walked in with two pots of vegetables. The little girls, who were already hungry, smelled the fragrance and immediately swallowed their saliva.
"Na, this is your sister Xing'er's father's specialty, roasted bacon in miso and pheasant mushroom soup." Xing'er Niang put the two coarse porcelain bowls with big heads on the table, and went out in a hurry.
Because there were no dishes and chopsticks, the two little girls could only salivate at the rich bacon with rich sauce and the golden and fragrant pheasant soup. Xing'er wanted to reach out and take a piece, but seeing that the two little sisters were waiting obediently, they had to hold back together.
When she came in again, Xing'er Niang brought two more pots of vegetables: "This is scrambled eggs with gray cabbage, this dry pickled small fish." With that, he turned around and went out.
These two vegetable pots were as big as the two just now, Yue Xiaoxing couldn't resist the temptation anymore, and stretched out her hand to the little fish cub she loved the most.
"What is my sister doing?!" Chang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Yue Xiaoxing withdrew her hand with a little blush, swallowed her saliva and said, "I just want to get you two little fish to eat, don't you know, this little fish is delicious!" There is a lot of oil, which is fragrant in the mouth, obviously salty, but it will be a little sweet after two bites. Hiss-"
Although Yue Xiaoxing said that she was even more hungry, Chang Xiaoxiao still shook her head politely: "Thank you, Sister Xing'er, but don't need it." Mr. said that when eating, you have to wait for the elders to move the chopsticks first. And you can't eat with your hands, Mr. said, the disease comes from the mouth, and the hands are unhygienic, so it will be easy to get sick. ”
has to wait for the elders to move the chopsticks first, this Yue Xiaoxing knows it herself. It's just that she is now the only child in the family, and the couple's discipline of her is not so strict. As for what hygiene is, Yue Xiaoxing didn't understand, but when she heard that it was easy to get sick, she understood. Hurry up and sit down obediently like two younger sisters.
Waiting for Xing'er's father and mother to walk in, Wei Anning and Chang Xiaoxiao got up and greeted each other obediently: "Hello uncle!" ”
The mighty and strong apricot and her father nodded gently: "Two good children, let's call Uncle Da Zhuang in the future!" ”
At this time, Xing'er Niang saw the four big dishes on the table that had not moved at all, and said while setting the dishes and chopsticks: "Huh?! Apricot changed her mind today?! Don't you even plan to give your father and mother a bite first?! ”
[Help my father and mother taste it first], this is Yue Xiaoxing's usual excuse. At this time, when my mother said it, I couldn't help blushing a little: "There are two younger sisters who come to the house as guests today, so don't make fun of Xing'er." ”
Hearing their daughter's words, Da Zhuang and his wife were very surprised, but they didn't say anything more. The two of them both sat down and beckoned the children to eat: "Come on, come on, eat vegetables, how about tasting your Uncle Zhuang's craftsmanship?!" ”
Seeing that the elders understood the chopsticks, the three children invariably stretched out the chopsticks to the dry-pickled small fish.
Hiss - it's really delicious, except for a little salty, everything else is exactly the same as Yue Xiaoxing said. It's particularly chewy and sweet. I ate two small fish in one bite, and quickly took two large mouthfuls of rice.
Then they started eating something else.
What kind of dish is this gray cabbage? I've never eaten it, but it's delicious!
Is the bacon marinated in the miso ?! Why does this sauce stink and smell?! The bacon is so hard, but with this strange-tasting sauce, it's really good! ——
The big dishes of the farmhouse generally have a very strong taste, which makes Wei Anning and Chang Xiaoxiao, who are accustomed to light tastes, eat less than two bites of each dish, and they are full of rice at once. No way, it's too bad!
It's too uncomfortable to look at the delicious dishes in front of me, but I don't have the feeling of pretending to be in my stomach. I can only take a small sip of the fragrant and rich chicken soup in front of me to satisfy my hunger, yes, I can only take a small sip, because I can't even drink the soup because my stomach is full.
Da Zhuang saw that the two little girls didn't eat two mouthfuls of food, thinking that it was because the dishes he made were not to their taste, and said apologetically: "The craftsmanship of the Zhuang family is really wronged by the two little girls." ”
Chang Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook her hand when she heard this, and Wei Anning hurriedly said, "It's not like this!" The dishes made by Uncle Da Zhuang are so delicious! It's so delicious! We still want to eat, but our stomachs are so full that we can't hold them anymore! ”
Hearing what they said, Xing'er's family laughed. They are happy to know that their craft is well received. Xing'er Niang also said: "If you don't dislike it for a while, I'll pretend to take it away for you." Small fish and bacon can stay for two more days even in this weather, and you can either eat it yourself or give it to the gentlemen. ”
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Auntie! I'm going to run out of food! ——" Chang Xiaoxiao clapped her hands happily.
In this way, the atmosphere in this room has always been fragrant.
Of course, although they chose a wealthy family to eat, most of the children were treated with the best farm food. But there are also two children who are particularly unlucky, such as Meng Yunxi and Su Jiayao.
These two girls, who are particularly shy in front of outsiders, deliberately chose the newest house of a house.
"Is anyone there?!" Meng Yunxi knocked on the door cautiously and shouted loudly.
Then a fiery figure trotted out, and the chopsticks in his hand had not been put down: "Eh...... Who are you looking for?! ”
Looking at the shabby dressed man in front of him, he may have already started eating. The little girls had some bad premonitions, but they still insisted on finishing their words: "Hello uncle, we are students from the threshing floor, and we don't have time to cook dinner today, can I buy something to eat at your house?" ”
The big man was also enthusiastic, and said simply: "What to buy!" Since you're here, let's eat together, but it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Come, come in, come in. ”
The little girls immediately relaxed and followed the big man into the hall.
"These two little girls are from the threshing floor that the village chief said, and they have missed the hour to make dinner today, so they will have a meal." The big man said to his parents, wives and children who were eating in the house.
When they heard this, the people in the house no longer took their heads out of the middle bowl. They greeted enthusiastically: "What a painful little girl, come on, come here, sit down here." ”
The big man's wife even got up and said, "There are still two cakes made of fine white flour in my cupboard, you wait a while, and I'll go and brand them for you." ”
Seeing this eldest aunt going out in a hurry, Meng Yunxi wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by the person in front of the table.
The old grandmother with a furrow face kindly touched Meng Yunxi's head: "The little girl is hungry, come and eat a nest to cushion her stomach first." After a while, I will eat the big white flour cake. ”
Meng Yunxi froze suddenly, she had never been treated so gently by her grandmother. In a daze, he picked up the nest head in his hand......
Su Jiayao looked at the strangely colored nest head in the bowl in front of her with some curiosity. I was faintly resistant, but my stomach was really a little hungry, and I finally couldn't help but pick it up and take a bite......
The two little girls were shocked by the nest head in their hands for a while, can such a throat-cutting thing be called food?! I wanted to put down what I was doing, but I thought of what my husband said, and I thought about the etiquette of being a guest. had to eat the nest head with tears in one bite at a time under the enthusiastic attention of this family.
Why are the wowotou heads here so big?! Why are the nests and heads here so solid?! Why is the kindergarten wowotou so small and so delicious?! Who the hell is lying?!
When the aunt came out with a plate of two white flour cakes the size of a child's fist. The little girls hurriedly said that they were full, thank you.
