Chapter 44: Improving Food

Zhang Jihan seemed to have received a task, patted his chest and said to Liu Meiniang, then walked to the front, Liu Meiniang also followed, since there is a way in her heart, Liu Meiniang now wants to see what the state of the mulberry tree is, so as to "prescribe the right medicine".

Liu Meiniang walked to the mulberry tree, and took a serious look at the mulberry leaves and mulberry trees, it was really like what Zhang Jihan said, because it was transplanted, so the mulberry tree had some wilting feeling, and it was even more obvious under such a big sun, such mulberry leaves, silkworms may not be able to live if they eat it.

Liu Meiniang tore off a few mulberry leaves and prepared to take them back and use the spiritual spring to try the effect.

"Sister-in-law, what are you picking mulberry leaves for?" Zhang Jihan walked over and asked.

"Oh, I'll take a look." Liu Meiniang took advantage of Zhang Jihan's inattention to stuff the mulberry leaves into her pocket.

Zhang Jihan didn't want to ask anything when he heard Liu Meiniang say this, although he did feel sorry for Liu Meiniang for pulling so many mulberry leaves.

Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing when she looked at Zhang Jihan's painful face, as if she had robbed Zhang Jihan of his silver.

After Liu Meiniang took the mulberry leaves home, she quickly tried the amount of Lingquan water. She secretly diluted a load of water with spiritual spring water and used it to water the mulberry tree.

In the afternoon of the same day, she asked Zhang Jihan to carry a load of water to water the mulberry tree, a tree is less than half a scoop, Zhang Jihan did it although he had doubts in his heart, and now Liu Meiniang's words are completely obedient, not for anything else, just because these days, under the leadership of Liu Meiniang, their family's life has improved significantly, and I don't know why, Liu Meiniang always has a convincing feeling.

"Oh, fool." Zhang Tongtong heard Liu Meiniang in the room explain that Zhang Jihan carried water to water the mulberry tree, and only watered one tree so much, isn't this a joke?

So Zhang Tongtong came out of the room and scolded Zhang Jihan in a low voice.

Although the voice was low, Zhang Jihan could still hear it clearly, but Zhang Jihan didn't seem to hear it.

"Sister-in-law, then I'll go and water first, and you can call me again if there is anything." Zhang Jihan picked up the burden and left.

Zhang Tongtong looked at the back of Zhang Jihan leaving, turned his head and glared at Liu Meiniang fiercely, stomped his feet and went back to his room.

Crazy, crazy, the whole family is crazy, now that Liu Meiniang is whatever she says, Zhang Tongtong sat on his bed and threw his pillow on the ground angrily.

Liu Meiniang heard the movement in the house, shook her head helplessly, turned around and went to her own business.

It seems that the problem with Zhang Tongtong must be solved quickly, otherwise I am afraid that something big will happen.

After Zhang Jihan went to water, Liu Meiniang went into the kitchen, everyone has been working for the past two days, and they are very particular about what they eat, so Liu Meiniang decided to make a good meal today to treat everyone.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan screamed and ran back from outside.

"What's wrong?" Liu Meiniang bent down and grabbed Zhang Dandan, wiped the sweat on Zhang Dandan's head, the little girl ran too fast, her face was red, and the puff was almost poking at the cute point of the person.

"Sister-in-law, look." Zhang Dandan put a big fish in front of Liu Meiniang as if offering a treasure.

"Wow, where did such a big fish come from?" Liu Meiniang hurriedly took the fish and put it on the stove, it was indeed a big carp.

"It was given by Second Brother Li." Zhang Dandanbi told Liu Meiniang again.

When Zhang Dandan came down from the mountain today, he passed by the Qingshui River at the entrance of the village, and was stopped by Second Brother Li, a group of them were fishing there, and Second Brother Li gave Zhang Dandan a fish for Zhang Dandan to take back to eat, Zhang Dandan couldn't refuse, so he had to take it back.

The main reason is that Second Brother Li left after stuffing the fish to Zhang Dandan, and Zhang Dandan almost didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Second Brother Li's original name was Li Zhuang, and he was the second eldest of the Li family in the west of the village, in this village, there are too many people with the same surname, especially the surname Li, speaking of which, this Second Brother Li has to call Aunt Li a cousin according to his seniority, but he has already come out of the five suits, in fact, the two families are not close, but in a village, so everyone has more neighbors than relatives.

Li Zhuang is three years older than Zhang Jihan, the same age as Liu Meiniang, and he is also a good young man, since Zhang Jilin's death, Li Zhuang is one of the few people in the village who is willing to help Liu Meiniang's family, and the discerning person knows at a glance that this Li Zhuang is interesting to Liu Meiniang.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and Liu Meiniang has been very careful to avoid contact with Li Zhuang on weekdays, but Li Zhuang still sends some wild game to the Zhang family from time to time.

When Liu Meiniang had an accident before, Li Zhuang was ready to help, but he was forced to die by his mother.

Originally, the situation of widows in ancient times was very difficult, which white family would want their son to marry a widow, so although Li Zhuang was interested in Liu Meiniang, he couldn't bear the stern opposition of his father.

It just so happened that after they were busy with farm work today, they went to bathe in the river with a few guys from the same village, and by the way to see if they could catch a fish, luck was good, Li Zhuang caught a big fish, and forced Zhang Dandan to take it back.

"When the vegetables we grow grow up, Dandan will take the vegetables and send some to Second Brother Li's house, which can be regarded as thank you Second Brother Li for taking care of him." Liu Meiniang touched Zhang Dandan's head and said.

"Got it, sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan said excitedly.

"I also said that we would add food to everyone in the evening, and since Dandan brought back the fish, we will eat the fish at night." Liu Meiniang said and took the fish to clean outside.

"Sister-in-law, I'll give you a hand." Zhang Dandan said loudly.

"Okay, you go peel some garlic." Liu Meiniang waved her hand.

Liu Meiniang cleaned the fish and returned to the kitchen, looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, and immediately thought about what to do.

The fish is divided into two halves, one part is made into sauerkraut fish, and the rest of the fish head is made into a fish soup with green vegetables.

There is leftover flour in the jar to make a green onion cake, salted duck eggs brought from Aunt Li's house can be mixed with cold vegetables, and small green vegetables picked from the field before, which can be stir-fried.

Liu Meiniang stretched her waist, looked at the dishes on the stove, and smiled with satisfaction.

Although her cooking skills are not top-notch, she has signed up for classes in modern times, so she can at least be able to handle it.

Zhang Dandan sniffed and stood up: "It's so fragrant, sister-in-law." ”

"Dognose." Liu Meiniang scratched Zhang Dandan's nose affectionately.

"Go and call my mother and second brother to eat, and Tongtong." Liu Meiniang instructed while bringing out the food.

"I'm not going to call the third sister, I'm going to call my mother and the second brother."

"Obedient, Tongtong is your sister, you know?" Liu Meiniang touched Zhang Dandan's head and said earnestly, how can sisters have an overnight feud, what Liu Meiniang is most afraid of now is that Zhang Dandan is too hostile to Zhang Tongtong.

"I'm not going." Zhang Dandan ran out after speaking.

Liu Meiniang wanted to say something behind her, but she still didn't say anything.

"Whoever wants you to fake kindness, I won't eat what you make." Zhang Tongtong didn't know when he walked to the kitchen and said viciously to Liu Meiniang.

"Okay, don't eat it." Liu Meiniang scooped out the last dish and poured a scoop of water into the pot.

"You!" Zhang Tongtong's face turned red with anger, since Liu Meiniang woke up that time, her personality has changed dramatically, the previous submissive appearance is completely gone, and now she is still against her.

Looking at Liu Meiniang's smiling face, Zhang Tongtong felt that Liu Meiniang's face was full of pride, and Zhang Tongtong was even more angry.

Liu Meiniang crossed Zhang Tongtong and brought the dishes to the hall without looking at Zhang Tongtong again.

The hand in Zhang Tongtong's sleeve was clenched into a fist, and the resentment towards Liu Meiniang in his heart was a little more.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing, it's so fragrant." Before Zhang Jihan came in, the voice had already come in.

"Yes, Mei Niang, I can smell the fragrance from afar." Zhang Li said with a rare quip.

It may be that in the recent period, the family has obviously improved, which has made Zhang Li's mood better.

"My sister-in-law made a lot of dishes." Zhang Dandan followed behind the two and said.

"Mother, sit down and eat." Liu Meiniang stepped forward to hold Zhang Li's arm.

"Wash your hands!" Zhang Jihan was about to sit down, Liu Meiniang's cold voice came from overhead, Zhang Jihan's shoulders trembled, he shrunk his neck, and turned around and walked out of the room.

Zhang Jihan found that he seemed to be afraid of Liu Meiniang invisibly, in other words, Liu Meiniang began to have majesty in his heart.

"Where's Tongtong?" Zhang Li looked around and asked Zhang Dandan in a low voice.

"I don't know." Zhang Dandan quickly took the chopsticks and handed them out to everyone.

"Tongtong said she wouldn't eat it." Liu Meiniang brought the last fish soup and sat down.

"This .......," Zhang Li frowned worriedly.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll leave some for the kitchen after I'm done." Liu Meiniang sandwiched a chopsticks of fish into Zhang Li's bowl.

Zhang Li also stopped when he heard Liu Meiniang's words, Zhang Tongtong did too much, Liu Meiniang didn't care, she was already thankful, for her daughter, Zhang Li now also feels deeply helpless.

"That's it, mother, her eldest lady has a temper, she doesn't do anything for a day, she just sits in her room, and every time she says that she doesn't eat, and after the sister-in-law leaves food for the kitchen, she secretly goes to eat it herself....." Zhang Dandan almost hated Zhang Tongtong's behavior.

She clearly remembered that the third sister was not like this before.

"Dandan." Zhang Li scolded softly.

"Mother, Dandan is not wrong." Zhang Jihan also spoke out to help Zhang Jihan.

"Let's eat." Liu Meiniang sandwiched a dish for Zhang Dandan.

A few of them stopped talking.

"Mei Niang, how did you make this fish, it doesn't smell fishy at all." Zhang Li put the sauerkraut in his mouth and asked vaguely.

"Mother, this is sauerkraut fish." Liu Meiniang explained with a smile.

Sauerkraut fish is a very homely dish in modern times, but she hasn't seen anyone eat sauerkraut since she crossed over. So after the vegetables were ripe some time ago, she secretly made a small jar of pickled cabbage, which happened to be edible today, and Liu Meiniang made a sauerkraut fish.

"It's so delicious, sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan obediently sandwiched a piece of fish for Liu Meiniang.

"If it's delicious, you can eat more." Liu Meiniang was also very happy to see everyone eating so happily.

"Hmph." Zhang Tongtong sat in his room, listening to the laughter coming from the hall, and his stomach was grumbling with hunger.

"Liu Meiniang, I'll see how long you can be proud!" Zhang Tongtong gritted his teeth and said.

Sure enough, when Liu Meiniang's group of people had eaten, Liu Meiniang left food in the kitchen, and after a while, she saw Zhang Tongtong sneaking into the kitchen to eat.

"I really don't know what the third sister is thinking in her head!" Zhang Dandan and Liu Meiniang stood outside the fence of the yard and could see all the situation in the kitchen.

"Let's go, let's go to the mountains and have a look." Liu Meiniang held back a smile, took Zhang Dandan's hand and walked out.

The mulberry matter was quickly resolved. Seeing that the rise of the mulberry tree was getting better and better, Zhang Jihan stood on the mountain and his mouth was almost behind the root of his ear.
