Chapter 132: White Fat Little Bean Sprouts
However, this time he didn't dare to say anything cruel, for fear that he would be arrested again if he didn't get out of the door, and he would eat another fist.
When he got out of the gate of the mansion and saw the snowstorm and his father, he finally understood that he had escaped. He limped to his father and complained repeatedly, "Dad, why did you come?" The children are going to be killed. ”
Master Fang was also distressed when he saw his son like this, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, go home first!" ”
Fang Rui has been beaten and starved for the past few days, and he feels aggrieved, so he told the servant while getting in the car, "Go to the HSBC Building and book a table for me and come back, I want twenty taels and one tables." ”
Master Fang was worried that his family would have no livelihood to rely on in the future, and he heard that Da'er was so extravagant, and he suddenly regretted it in his heart, did he really make too many mistakes...
Outside the north gate of the snow capital, a group of seven or eight carriages were driving on the official road against the wind and snow, Fang Jie lifted the curtain and saw that the blue-gray city wall was getting more and more blurred, and his heart was bitter for a while, and finally he let out a long sigh and said softly, "Free..."
Dongzi Zhengmei raised his whip to beat the jujube red horse, and heard that the master in the car seemed to be moving, so he hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Childe, what do you command?" ”
Fang Jie lowered the curtain and replied loudly, "It's okay, hurry home!"
"Great! Childe sit tight, let's go home! Dongzi cheered, urging the jujube red horse to gallop forward, and the broken snow raised by the horse's hooves and wheels flew into the air, as gorgeous and beautiful as a Qionghua blooming. No matter when, no matter how cold the cold wind, frost and snow can not stop the traveler from returning home, because the warmth of that place is enough to make people fall in love for a lifetime...
Nangou Village was also very lively on this day, because last night a heavy snow blocked the mountain road behind the village, Pucao was worried that it would be difficult for people from Baiyunju to pick up vegetables, so he pondered asking his neighbors to help shovel the snow.
It just so happened that the lady came to the door to sit down, and laughed when she heard this, and when she went out, she picked up a few naughty boys playing on the side of the road and shouted all over the village, and immediately gathered twelve or thirteen strong young men, each of whom was carrying a wooden plank and an iron shovel, laughing and laughing, and playing generally cleared the mouth.
Pu Cao consciously asked people to contribute, and it was polite to entertain some food and drink, but her identity was not outnumbered, and it was easy to provoke right and wrong. So he moved the ingredients, took the magpie to Chunni's house next door, boiled a large pot of bone broth to stew tofu, and steamed two pots of big steamed buns.
Mrs. Li smiled and followed to the side to help, she was worried about the bean sprouts in the greenhouse, so she asked, "Pucao, are those mung bean sprouts edible, why don't we make some tastes?" ”
Pu Cao smiled and wiped her wet hands on her apron, and responded, "You can eat it, but there are too many people at noon, and when it calms down at night, let's fry two plates." ”
Chunni is now one person eating two supplements, but if anything can be put into her mouth, she must not let go. In the past few days, she has seen the bean sprouts grow whiter and fatter, and she is naturally itching, so she is looking forward to when she can have a good meal. At this time, Pucao said that he would do it at night, and he immediately clapped his hands with joy.
The black-and-gray magpie was squatting aside to light the fire, rolling her eyes, pouting and muttering, "Sneaky! Isn't it just a bean, and it's still hidden like this. ”
Pu Cao glanced at her, raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not scold. turned home and moved all the dishes and chopsticks by mistake, and Chunni also had seven or eight pairs at home, which was more than enough to put together.
Seeing that the two cauldrons were steaming, the aroma of bone broth and steamed buns was even more mischievous intertwined, overflowing the entire stove. Pu Cao picked up the mountain that was playing in the yard and went to call everyone back for dinner.
Shanzi just got a "treasure armor" a few days ago, although I don't know if I can carry swords, guns and halberds, but it is light and warm on the body, which is much better than the bloated cotton jacket. So the general smiled happily, and couldn't wait to run out every day and charge into battle with small soldiers.
Hearing the marshal's sister's order like this, she naturally immediately took her own soldier Fat Dun'er to kill outside the village to give the order.
Soon, a group of young men walked into the courtyard under the pull of Chen Da and Chen Er. Pu Cao smiled and beckoned them into the house to sit down, and then a large pot of bone broth and steaming steamed buns were brought in.
In winter, the farming is idle, and most people only eat two meals. The young men were originally at the age of the cattle race, and they waved their shovels for a long time, how could they not be hungry. At this time, as soon as they smelled the aroma of food, their stomachs were rumbling, and their faces were even redder and more restrained.
Pu Cao stuffed a bowl of hot soup and a big steamed bun into the hands of the three boys of the Li family in the front yard, and said with a smile, "Everyone has been busy for a long time, hurry up and pad your stomach, there are many more in the stove room, you don't care if you eat and drink enough." ”
The third boy of the Li family swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister-in-law, we haven't done any work..."
Chen Da Chen Erping has daily dealings with the Zhang family, so he is naturally more open than others, and he doesn't have to do it with Pucao, so he took a sip of a bowl of soup by himself, and said with a smile, "Our brothers are not polite, if you don't eat, we will be round." After speaking, he took another bite of the steamed bun and shouted, "It's so fragrant." ”
The young men saw that someone was taking the lead, and they were really hungry, so they were no longer polite when they looked at each other, and they ate and drank with soup bowls in one hand and steamed buns in the other.
The magpie came in with a plate of crispy red peppers, Chen Da reached out and took a crushed piece and sprinkled it in the soup bowl, the snow-white tofu was accompanied by a few green vegetable leaves, plus the red and bright pepper powder, it really made people salivate when they looked at it.
When you take a sip, the rich aroma of bone broth, the sweetness of green vegetables, and the spicy pepper are mixed together, and they are hot all the way down the throat, and the whole stomach is immediately like a fire.
Located in the Northland, the climate is cold, and spirits and chili peppers have always been everyone's favorite. After eating for a while, the young men gradually let go of their hands and feet, and stepped forward to add soup and sprinkle chili peppers and take steamed buns, each eating with sweat on the tip of their noses and foreheads, and smiling like flowers on their faces.
Of course, there are also those who open early, eating and drinking while peeking at the magpie standing at the door from time to time. Although this girl has been in Zhang's house for five or six days, she has to learn everything from scratch, and her originally fair little face is much haggard. But she has been in the Fang family for a few years, and her temperament and appearance are much stronger than the girls in the village, so it is no wonder that the young men are tempted.
Mrs. Li saw this together, for fear that the magpie would cause trouble and bring Pucao, so she stepped forward and made an excuse to lead her to the stove.
The boys had no idea and were all satisfied, so they thanked them and took their leave.
As soon as Pu Cao and Chunni put away the dishes, Shanzi ran in from outside the door and shouted, "Sister, Brother Fang's horse climbing plow is here." ”
Pucao's face was happy, but then the smile turned to disappointment. She was so busy that she forgot for a while, the person she was thinking about had already returned to Kyoto, and of course it wouldn't be him who came to the door this time.
Sure enough, the one who jumped down from the plow outside the door was the shopkeeper Luo and the steward Wang, Pu Cao had been to the restaurant before, and he was also familiar with them. So the three of them greeted each other and exchanged a few polite words, Pu Cao introduced them to the Liu family to sit, and the magpie withdrew with a complicated look on the hot tea.
Shopkeeper Luo naturally heard about the events of the day, but he didn't mention it wisely, and said with a smile, "The old man and the Wang steward rarely go out of the city, I didn't expect the road to be so difficult, and it was delayed for a long time, but I had to bother Zhang Dongjia to step up picking up vegetables." ”
Pu Cao poured a bowl of hot tea for them with his own hands, and responded, "Shopkeeper Luo is polite, this is all as it should be." I'm afraid you two haven't had lunch yet, if you don't dislike our poor farmer, how about simply pad your stomach here? It just so happened that I recently got some delicious food, and I had to help Luo Zhang to taste one or two dishes at the cabinet to see if I could put it on sale in the restaurant. ”
The so-called, in its position, seek its government. The shopkeeper Luo stayed in the restaurant all day long, and he was very attentive to the business, so he heard Pucao talk about new food, and his own restaurant was about to become popular in the whole city, so he was naturally overjoyed, and nodded again and again, "The food brought out by Zhang Dong's family is all first-class delicious, and the old man is going to open his eyes again today." ”
Pu Cao politely said a few words, and went to the greenhouse with Chunni and Mrs. Li. Liu Housheng had already received the news from Shanzi and was preparing knives and baskets and other things. Pu Cao instructed them a few words, and then went to lift the bean sprout basket in the corner to check.
The temperature in the vegetable shed is high, which is suitable for the growth of bean sprouts, but it has only been five or six days, and it is already two inches long. The little bean sprouts, with a bean hat on his head, a white and fat body, and three or five whiskers under his feet, how cute he looks.
Chunni leaned over and looked at it a few times, a little worried, and asked, "Pucao, is this thing really delicious?" Can Shopkeeper Luo be willing to spend money? ”
Pu Cao found a straw curtain and wrapped it tightly in the basket, and went to pull a few fresh onions, a wisp of garlic seedlings and coriander, and then smiled, "You can rest assured, cut the vegetables first, and keep it for a while, and there will be good news to tell you." When she had said this, she opened the door and hurried out.
Chunni couldn't, so she had to take her mother to help cut vegetables and put them in baskets. The Chen family next door also heard the movement at this time, and Mrs. Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also rushed to help, and the vegetable shed immediately became lively.
When the grass arrived, half of the bean sprouts were soaked in water and the mung bean skin was fished out, and then the fungus was soaked, the garlic seedlings were chopped, and the meat was chopped, so busy that the feet did not touch the ground.
The magpie, who was still sitting by the stove and feeling sorry for herself, was also instructed by her to turn around. Peach Blossom and Shanzi were the most sensible, and took the initiative to come to help light the fire, and Pucao kissed them one by one, causing the two children to blush and giggle.
The magpie saw it in his eyes and snorted softly in his nose, not knowing whether it was jealousy or envy.
When the ingredients are ready, Pucao rolled up his sleeves and began to fry and fry, the two children were urged to add firewood to the fire, and the little hands were busy adding bud grain straw to the stove, but the eyes were full of curiosity to look at the pot, I don't know what kind of food this white little thing can make, even the magpie is quietly moved to the side to watch.
Soon, a stir-fried dish, a boiled dish, a soup and a cake were served on the table. Pu Cao took off her apron and asked Peach Blossom to call Zhang Gui to come over to accompany the guests, but it was not Fang Jie who didn't want Zhang Guier to hear the door, but the shopkeeper and steward of Baiyunju, so she didn't want to come forward under the pretext of having a headache.
(I still owe four watches, haha!) There is still a normal update of the chapter at 8 o'clock in the evening! )
