Chapter Ninety-Three: It is difficult to prevent thieves day and night
Most of the people who work in Liu Meiniang's house are little girls and daughters-in-law from the same village, who come to work on time at seven o'clock in the morning, and there will be an hour of meal time at noon, and after eating, they can continue to work until dinner time and then go home.
Compared with other manual work, working in Liu Meiniang's house is already very easy.
And Liu Meiniang's salary is still very high, Liu Meiniang also introduced the modern work system, and the three people who weave the most every month can also get different amounts of rewards, which stimulates everyone's enthusiasm for work.
After Liu Xiaomian and a few people were on the right track, there were still some little daughters-in-law and girls in Liuhe Village who asked Liu Meiniang if she was recruiting people here, and Liu Meiniang euphemistically said that she didn't need manpower here now, but it might be needed in the future, so everyone waited for news in the future.
Although it is a pity that I couldn't come to Liu Meiniang's house to work, but after this series of things, no one dares to look at the Zhang family with the previous eyes.
Liu Meiniang couldn't help but sigh that no matter what time it is, money is always the best, which strengthens Liu Meiniang's determination to make money.
Dinner is still made by Liu Meiniang, and now Liu Meiniang basically doesn't let Zhang Li work, although Zhang Li's back injury has been healed, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers.
Under Liu Meiniang's compulsion, Zhang Li cleaned the room every day.
Zhang Li has no way to panic even if he is idle.
Liu Meiniang made a strip today.
This is the most commonly eaten pasta in the north in the previous life, Liu Meiniang herself is a northerner, she likes to eat pasta, and her favorite thing to eat is pulled noodles.
There are many ways to eat pulled noodles, and Liu Meiniang directly made fried pulled noodles.
"Sister-in-law, I want to learn this, can you teach me?" Zhang Dandan sat here in front of the stove and stared at Liu Meiniang cooking, without blinking his eyes.
She had never seen such a meal, a noodle seemed to come alive in Liu Meiniang's hands, and it was suddenly pulled into such a long noodle, which looked very interesting.
"Okay, but you're still young, I'll teach you when you're older." Liu Meiniang neatly pulled out one noodle after another, and when the pot boiled, she put all the noodles in.
Thinking of the tomatoes and green peppers mixed when she ate fried pulled noodles in her previous life, Liu Meiniang couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but since she came here, she didn't find anyone eating tomatoes, and there were many things in this era.
There are no chili peppers, and most of the cooking is mustard, and there is something called bitter pepper.
The bitter pepper is completely different from the chili pepper in the previous life, it looks a bit like longan, and it also has a thin shell. When cooking, cut the shell of the bitter pepper, there will be some powder inside, and when you pour it in, it will increase the spiciness.
Liu Meiniang guessed that the powder should be the pollen of bitter peppers. The spicy taste of bitter pepper and chili pepper can not be compared at all, what is the chili pepper in the previous life, how spicy and spicy it is, but the spicy taste of bitter pepper is not obvious.
When you put it in, it only has a faint spicy taste, or it can't even be called spicy.
People here don't seem to eat much spicy food, and the food in every house is not spicy.
In her previous life, Liu Meiniang was very spicy, and the spicy taste of bitter peppers really couldn't satisfy her.
But if you put too much bitter pepper, the taste becomes weird.
Liu Meiniang vowed to work hard to find the chili pepper. If you have chili peppers, you can make a lot of food, such as hot pot.
After the noodles were cooked, Liu Meiniang took out all the noodles and put them aside after a cold water.
Start pouring oil into the pan and pour in the onions, garlic, scrambled eggs and vegetables.
When the eggs are half-cooked, Liu Meiniang pours the spare noodles into it and scrambles them together. With Liu Meiniang's stir-frying, a fragrance permeated the kitchen.
"It smells so good." Zhang Dandan sniffed.
"Here, taste it." Liu Meiniang took a noodle and blew it cool and put it in Zhang Dandan's mouth.
"How? Is there something missing? Liu Meiniang asked.
"It's delicious." Zhang Dandan sucked the noodles in one bite and said vaguely.
"That's good, out of the pot." Liu Meiniang put all the noodles into the basin, and Zhang Dandan had already put a stack of bowls on the table.
Liu Meiniang also served a few dishes cold before and brought them out together.
"Mother, it's time to eat." Liu Meiniang went to the backyard, and sure enough, Zhang Li was there.
Liu Meiniang didn't want Zhang Li to work, but Zhang Li couldn't be idle, not only cleaned the room several times a day, but also planted a lot of flowers and plants in the backyard.
Every day when I have nothing to do, I come to the backyard to play with the flowers and plants.
"Hey, I've worked hard Mei Niang." Zhang Li got up and patted the soil on his body.
Liu Meiniang didn't speak, and stepped forward to help Zhang Li into the house.
As soon as Zhang Mudan heard that he was going to eat, he immediately ran out of the workshop.
In Zhang's house, what she looks forward to most every day is to eat, after coming to Zhang's house, she knows how good the Zhang family's life is now, not only eat white rice and white noodles, but also Liu Meiniang's food is much better than her mother's cooking, and even better than the food in the big restaurants in the county.
Zhang Mudan has never been to a big restaurant in the county, but she feels that the food cooked in the big restaurant is definitely not as good as Liu Meiniang's.
Zhang Peony quickly ran into the kitchen, sat on the table and was about to start. At a glance, I saw Zhang Jihan and others washing their hands in the basin on the side, and Zhang Peony put down the dishes and chopsticks and went over to wash his hands.
When he first came to Zhang's house for dinner on the first day, Zhang Peony didn't have the awareness to wash his hands before eating, everyone washed their hands before coming to the table to eat.
When I saw that other people's hands were clean and their fingernails were full of mud, I couldn't help blushing a little when I was cheeky like Zhang Peony.
She still remembers Zhang Dandan asking her in surprise why she didn't wash her hands.
Living in Zhang's house for the past two days, Zhang Mudan found that Zhang Jihan and the others would wash their hands every time they ate, and they would also suck their hands when they came back from work.
Although Zhang Mudan despises the Zhang family's habit very much, because in this family, everyone comes back from work to eat directly, and even her mother rarely washes her hands before cooking, let alone those who eat. If you wash your hands before eating, there may be people who will laugh at you for being poor.
But in Liu Meiniang's house, not washing your hands before eating seems to be a shame.
Zhang Peony obediently washed her hands.
When she sat down at the table again, Liu Meiniang had already served a meal for everyone.
"Peony, I heard that you haven't been working in the past few days." Liu Meiniang gave Zhang Dandan a chopstick dish, as if she didn't care, and asked.
"Sister-in-law, who did you listen to, wronged, I am working hard every day." Zhang Peony's hand stiffened, she didn't expect Liu Meiniang to ask her directly.
"Really?" Liu Meiniang obviously didn't believe it.
"Sister-in-law, not only does she not work, but she often quarrels with Sister Liu Xiaomian, saying that they don't do a good job." Zhang Dandan hurriedly said after swallowing a mouthful of food.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you." Liu Meiniang handed the water cup to Zhang Dandan.
This is also what Zhang Peony envies, in their family, most of Zhang Tianhua and his wife's attention is on Zhang Fugui, and it is not good for Zhang Peony but it is not bad.
But in the countryside, the status of the girl's family is already low, Zhang Mudan not only has to cook in her own home, but also has to brush the dishes, but after coming to Liu Mei's mother's house for so long, she hardly saw Zhang Tongtong or Zhang Dandan cook and brush the dishes once, and Liu Meiniang was very good to them.
Even the cups for a few people to drink water said that Liu Meiniang made it specially. Where will Zhang Peony have any cups, at home, everyone drinks water directly from the scoop in the water tank, who will have a special cup.
"Sister-in-law, I'm also working, Liu Xiaomian and they are lazy, if I don't look at it, your salary will be in vain." Faced with Liu Meiniang's questioning look, Zhang Peony had her own words.
"I don't need you to supervise their work, there is Aunt Li to supervise, when I went to your house at that time, you begged to come to work, you are not serious now, or you will go back tomorrow." For Zhang Peony, Liu Meiniang does not have a little patience, if she really works hard, Liu Meiniang will naturally give Zhang Peony all the wages that should be paid, and then everyone will go back to their respective homes happily, but Zhang Peony is like this, how can Liu Meiniang not be angry.
"Sister-in-law, you can't just believe it if you listen to them, I am your cousin, our two families are blood relatives, how can you believe what others say, Dandan is still young, I know that Dandan has always disliked me, I ......" Seeing that Liu Meiniang was still frowning, Zhang Peony actually began to cry.
"Peony, if you work hard, Mei Niang will definitely not treat you badly." Zhang Li's mouth was sneering, if she could, she didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Peony. No matter how stubborn their family Zhang Tongtong is, there is some friction between him and Liu Meiniang, but Zhang Tongtong does not have such a bad quality, obviously he is depressed and wrong, and he has to blame others.
The changes that Liu Meiniang brought to the three Zhang families, Zhang Li also saw it, and even after getting along with Liu Meiniang for a long time, she was also affected a lot by Liu Meiniang's character, at least she is no longer like before, looking ahead and backward when doing things.
"Second aunt, what kind of person is Peony, don't you know, after coming to your house, Peony works hard every day, and the second aunt can't listen to other people's nonsense, so blame Peony." Zhang Peony screamed miserably at Zhang Li again.
"Anyway, I'll settle your wages for the past few days after dinner, and you can go back." Liu Meiniang said after eating.
"Sister-in-law, are you driving me away?" Zhang Mudan looked at Liu Meiniang with a look of disbelief.
"It's not that I'm driving you away, I don't want people here who don't work." Liu Meiniang was not moved.
"Sister-in-law, you can't do this to me." Zhang Peony said.
Liu Meiniang was laughed at by Zhang Peony, she wanted to know why she couldn't do this.
"Second aunt, sister-in-law, your family can't stop recognizing people just because they have some money, I'm here to work, I'm doing a good job, sister-in-law, you're suddenly going to drive me away, don't you turn your face and don't recognize people?"
Zhang Peony said with a roll of his eyes.
Liu Meiniang was impressed by Zhang Peony's ability to reverse black and white.
"What do you mean we turn our faces and don't recognize people?" Liu Meiniang slammed her chopsticks on the table.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it? You used to prefer to use irrelevant people in the village to work for you than to find relatives, and if I hadn't begged, you wouldn't have let me come to your house to work, but now that I make a little mistake, you let me go, and it won't sound good to spread the word. Zhang Peony said confidently.
Liu Meiniang was speechless by Zhang Peony for the first time.
