Dongzi was smiling and wanted to beg for a cup of tea to drink, and when he heard this, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly patted his head and pretended to remember it suddenly, and said, "Childe is really wise and martial, invincible in the world, the little one was so happy just now, and he really forgot a little thing." Hehe, it's freezing this day, and it's hard for those big brothers to run, and the little ones are in charge of collecting the filial piety of the ruffians with them. Hehe, this is a small two taels of silver. ”

As he spoke, he reached into his sleeve and took out a piece of broken silver and placed it on the table.

Fang Jie picked up the silver and turned it upside down, then smashed it back into Dongzi's arms, and said coldly, "Whether this is true or not, you know best in your heart." If you commit it again in the future, you don't have to send it down, you can just roll it up and leave the house yourself. ”

Dongzi was so frightened that he knelt down, his mind turned quickly, and he begged for mercy one after another, "Gongzi is angry, and the little one just thinks that the Li family is too pitiful to be scared." The little one wanted to buy them something to eat with the two taels of silver, and he would take it as an apology for the ruffians. The little one really doesn't want to swallow this silver, the son must believe the small one. ”

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows noncommittally, waved his hand to signal him to get up, and then said, "It doesn't matter if you want to keep this silver yourself, but you must say it to me when you return." If those ruffians secretly hate in their hearts in the future, and look for trouble and provoke behind their backs, I don't know that today you have looted their money, naturally you will not think of them, and even find the wrong opponent, wouldn't it be that you lose before the battle, and make more enemies? ”

Dongzi just likes to be greedy for a small bargain, where did he think of such a far-reaching idea. At this time, the more he listened, the more he felt reasonable, and the cold sweat on his head also fell. This time it was not because of fright, but sincerely knelt down and admitted his mistake, "Childe, they are all small rats, and when they see money, they almost cause a big disaster to the restaurant." The little one knew that he was wrong, and asked the son to punish him heavily. ”

Fang Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm tea, seeing that this clever personal servant was frightened, and he also felt that this beating had an effect.

So he turned to the right color and said, "Get up, just know what is wrong." Today's errand is still done well, and the merit should be offset. After a while, tell the king's steward to send the table and banquet to the city gate, and then back up the thanks, and you will send it to the scribe's house when you come back tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Childe, the little one will go and pass the word." Dongzi wiped his sweat and was about to retreat, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Childe, just now Second Brother Chen found Xiao and said that he would return to the village early tomorrow, you see, what are the items to bring to Zhang... Hmm..."

Dongzi is the person who knows the secret of his son-in-law and Pu Cao's love affair best in addition to the snow, if he follows the old name Pu Cao as Zhang's sister-in-law, it seems that there is a suspicion of reminding Pu Cao's widow identity. But if it is too early to call her Mrs. or the housewife, it is easy to pat the horse's leg on the horse's leg, so he, who has always prided himself on being smart and clever, is also worried halfway through.

Fang Jie guessed this kid's embarrassment, and lightly threw down a sentence, "Let's call Zhang Dongjia in the future." After speaking, he got up and walked to the bookshelf, picked up two poetry books and a travelogue, handed them to Dongzi, and instructed, "This poetry collection is for the Zhang family's nerd, and this travelogue is for Zhang Dong's family." Remember clearly, don't make a mistake when the time comes. ”

"Hey, don't worry, the little one must be able to do it clearly." Dongzi carefully hugged the book, patted his chest and promised that he had passed, and then went out backwards.

Shopkeeper Luo and Steward Wang were sitting in the stove, drinking and gossiping about four light side dishes. Seeing Dongzi come in, the two of them pulled him and asked the master, how is his face?

How could Dongzi say what he had just done, and he lost his own prestige, so he naturally only picked up the good ones. Although Shopkeeper Luo and Steward Wang also knew that this kid had a lot of eyes and couldn't fully believe it, they estimated that the master would not be more annoyed, so they didn't bother to expose him.

The fat cook's braised pork had just come out of the pot, and when it was served, he heard Dongzi casually say that he was going to Lijia Village tomorrow, so he hurriedly called someone to help put down a large piece of bacon hanging on the beam, wrapped it directly in oiled paper, and shouted, "The little sister-in-law of the Zhang family has taught me a lot of skills, and I have never had the opportunity to come to the door to thank me." Brother Dongzi, take this bacon for me tomorrow. This is my mother's own pickled last year, and it tastes good. ”

Dongzi remembered the son's instructions just now, and corrected loudly with a glare, "In the future, I will call Zhang Dongjia, this is what our son explained." ”

The fat cook was used to seeing him like a fox and a fake tiger, and according to his little head, the melon seeds were a slap, and he laughed, "Zhang Dong's family is Zhang Dong's family, you little cub who doesn't have any hair and what kind of eyes are staring at me!" When I opened a restaurant with my son, you didn't know where to wander. ”

If you count it carefully, Dongzi is really not as old as this fat cook, and he often comes over to eat and drink on weekdays, so his waist naturally can't stand up. Thinking like this, he was also deflated, and muttered, "You know that bullying me really made me stupid, you will be a little servant for your son." ”

When everyone saw him bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, they all laughed.

Dongzi lowered his head angrily and ate meat, and halfway through the meal, he suddenly remembered that Gongzi still had instructions, so he hurriedly told everyone. The king's steward rarely knocked him on the back, and complained, "The prince ordered again, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The old shopkeeper also knocked him in the fun, and said with a smile, "It really should be beaten!" ”

Everyone turned to get busy, leaving Dongzi alone with a bitter face, the more he ate, the more tasteless he became, so he ran to dig out the half jar of wine that he had hidden before, and took the braised pork to find the second brother Chen who used the East Chamber to chatter.

On the second day, the weather was rarely fine, and the sky and the earth swept away the previous dark color, becoming high and bright, overlooking the snowfield, the scenery was extremely vast and magnificent.

Dongzi drove the horse to climb the plow and pull Chen Er and his wife back with a full load, and some villagers in the village who came out to breathe and walk around saw it, and they all greeted them with smiles, and they naturally wanted to be envious and sigh in their hearts.

Although they couldn't guess how much money the Chen family could make from this small business of selling groceries, just looking at the fact that they would definitely make a lot of profits when they went into the city again and again, otherwise who would suffer this crime in the winter.

I don't mention what the people in the village think, just say that Shanzi listened to two stories last night before he fell asleep satisfied, but when he got up early, he was cold in cotton pants and refused to get up in the bed.

Pu Cao had the heart to lift the quilt directly, and was afraid that this kid would catch the wind chill at first glance, so he had to lure him to eat steamed buns for breakfast in a while, and if he couldn't afford it, he wouldn't be able to eat it.

As a result, the gluttonous boy immediately got up, dressed neatly, and asked when he was going to eat steamed buns? Pu Cao really couldn't cry or laugh, but it was not easy to talk and count, so he could only speed up his subordinates and change the buns from lunch to breakfast.

The mother and daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family, who didn't sleep until midnight last night, just got up at this time, heard Pucao shouting across the fence, and rushed over to help after washing.

Liu Housheng is a diligent and responsible good person, and the vegetable shed is always as warm as spring, even if the temperature near the corner of the wall is enough for the dough to rise.

One night passed, and the dough, which originally only occupied a small half of the clay pot, had invaded most of the country, and it was full of bubbles and smelled sour. Pucao poured two scoops of dry noodles into it, and asked Li's second sister-in-law to add flour alkali and knead it well.

In addition to improving the food during the New Year, the Li family can't see such fine noodles on weekdays, let alone pottery pots. Second sister-in-law Li washed her hands and rolled up her sleeves, and stood aside for a long time without daring to start.

Sister-in-law Li also grinned with a large piece of pork belly handed over by Pucao, and she had the heart to persuade Pucao to put less meat, but this was not her own home, and it was a bit too much to say it. Thinking about not persuading it, it's too distressing. Is it just for a meal of steamed buns, do they have to use enough pork for their family to eat for a year?

Chunni was sitting on the small bench boiling water, and when she saw that her two sisters-in-law were like this, she giggled and said, "Sisters-in-law, just let it go, Pucao knows it." She refuses to lose anything. Especially for children, there are good ones that are definitely not bad, and we will all follow the dip today and eat a few more big meat buns. ”

Boss Li was helping to pick up the cabbage, and when he heard his daughter say this, he scolded with a smile, "I'm afraid that you eat and drink with Pucao on weekdays, but now it's good, along with the old lady and sister-in-law, if it spreads, our Li family doesn't need to see anyone." ”

Pucao is carrying a kitchen knife to stack the cabbage leaves together and cut them into large pieces, and sprinkle a layer of fine salt when they are put into the pot, so that they can marinate it, save the filling soup and taste better.

When she heard this, she hurriedly joked, "My aunt and sister-in-law have only lived for a few days, and I don't feel sorry for how many good meals I eat." It's just that Chunni is too edible, and there are many small ones in her stomach after this, and I'm afraid my family's rice noodles won't be able to support her. When the eldest lady goes back, you must take her away! ”

Mrs. Li threw away the cabbage, spread her hands and said with a wry smile, "No, Pucao, my aunt can't afford to take it back." ”

"What then?" Pu Cao pretended to be helpless, looked out, and whispered, "Otherwise, my aunt will take me as a daughter, let's get her out." ”

"That's a good idea!" The two sisters-in-law of the Li family also spoke in unison, causing Chunni to stomp her feet and shout, "Pucao, you bad girl, actually pleaded with my mother and didn't want me." You wait, I'll wrap all the buns today, and I won't leave any of them for you!"

Everyone laughed, and their subordinates kneaded dough and cut meat, and they were very busy.

Soon, the pork belly turned into a pile of pieces of meat the size of a fingernail, the cabbage was drained of water, the two large handfuls of vermicelli boiled in the cauldron were also fished out and finely chopped, and a small bowl of chopped green onion and ginger was prepared.

Pu Cao glanced at the cauldron and cleaned it neatly, poured the pork belly pieces into it after it was boiling hot, and when it was stir-fried and discolored, it added soy sauce, minced green onion and ginger, pepper, and most importantly, four large spoons of bean paste, and then fried until the meat pieces flowed into the oil before being served in a large clay pot. At this time, add the cabbage and vermicelli, and stir well in one direction as much as possible, and the filling is ready.
