"You stupid girl, getting married is a happy event, how can you shed tears like this?" The old lady stroked Liuniang's back, smiled and inserted the red gold dotted hairpin into Liuniang's head, "Hurry up and show grandmother?" ”

Liuniang secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her smiling face, the old lady turned it over, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's much better looking than I was back then." ”

Liuniang said: "Where is the grandmother who looked good back then?" Besides, the granddaughter is still young, and she can't suppress the luxury of this hairpin. ”

As he spoke, he took his eyes from his hair, carefully put them away, and put them in the box again.

The old lady urged her to go out to find Banniang and a few people to play, because the old lady had to sleep for a while as usual at noon every day, and Liuniang served her to sleep, so she went to find a few sisters: "Just now my grandmother gave me a hairpin that she has collected for decades." ”

"But the fulcrum hairpin?" Sanniang asked with a smile as she pulled her to sit down. Seeing Liuniang nodding, Sanniang smiled: "It can be seen how much grandmother loves you, that hairpin, but grandmother has been collecting it for decades, and it is only for the New Year's holidays, so she is willing to take it out and wear it last time." You'll have to take it away, it's grandmother's heart. ”

Liu Niang smiled apologetically: "My marriage, so that you also worry about it, usually I have never been at home, serving my parents, there used to be three sisters, now it is seven sisters and eight sisters, speaking of which, it is me who is not filial, but the family has prepared so many dowries for me, I really don't know how to say it." ”

Sanniang persuaded: "Look at what you said, they are all their own sisters, only hope that you are good, you are doing well, we are also happy, and then, you have been with your grandmother since you were a child, helping us to fulfill our filial piety, Linchuan over there, only you are alone, compared to us, but I don't know how many times harder, and now what are you doing with us?" This is also a piece of the father and mother's love for their daughter, don't you think that you will go to your mother-in-law's house in the future and live smoothly? You, looking at a few sisters in the family, you are shrewd, but you are not as good as Xiaoba thinks, you look at this girl, she is a thief and a thief, and she never loses herself, if you want me to say, you and Qi Niang, in the future, we will also learn from this Xiaoba, and we can rest assured when we get to someone's house. ”

Banniang was happy on the side: "The third sister doesn't talk about the sixth sister, you yourself still take the loss as a blessing all day long." Doesn't it make us feel uneasy? Although the third brother-in-law treats you well, and your in-laws also like you, don't always lose yourself, look at the time you just came back to lose weight, my father and mother don't know how distressed they are, even my father told my mother personally, let my sister-in-law buy more good ones, so that you can eat supplements, and you are married to the farthest away, and we usually can't take care of it, but it's not more worrying? If you take care of yourself, you are the greatest filial piety to your grandmother, father and mother. ”

Sanniang glanced at her: "You all look at this girl, you don't know, and she is the eldest sister in the family, even I have been taught a lesson." ”

Banniang also smiled: "It's not that my sisters love me, I don't know how to talk nonsense." ”

As if he suddenly remembered something, he ran to the inner room, opened the cage, and found two land deeds, one for Liu Niang, and one for San Niang: "Third sister, sixth sister, these are two fifty acres of paddy field land deeds, I specially asked Lu Seventeen to help me pay attention to it after the year, I only planned to prepare fifty acres for the sixth sister as a dowry, but I didn't want him to find a hundred acres, because it is a good good land, it is a pity not to buy it, I simply bought it at one time, one for each of the two sisters, and it is good to keep it in the future." ”

Sanniang and Liuniang both showed surprise: "Where did you get so much money?" ”

You must know that 100 acres of high-quality paddy fields are now only afraid of no less than three acres of land, and this 100 acres of land is enough for 300 acres.

Banniang smiled: "After all, it wasn't robbed and stolen, and it wasn't asked for by my sister-in-law." Isn't Sheraton doing good business all the time? I thought it would take six or seven months to recover the cost, but I didn't think that at the end of March, as soon as it was settled, all the money originally invested in it was returned, and in one month in April, I got more than 300 yuan of profits, plus Wu Sanniang's side A few days ago, I also sent me more than 200 yuan of dividends, and one hundred and twenty yuan of pattern money in the first quarter of this year, I have a total of nearly 700 yuan, and it cost three hundred and ten yuan to give you two pieces of land, and there are more than 300 yuan left, which was handed over to my sister-in-law yesterday. ”

Sanniang listened and said: "You are really a girl who can make money, you are really not like our family, who would have thought that a person like us would have such a business experience as yours?" Liuniang, you can accept it, as for my fifty acres of land, you can keep it and hand it over to your sister-in-law, and give it to Qiniang as a dowry in the future. Besides, my mother-in-law's house is so far away, these lands are given to me, and I can't take care of them. ”

Liuniang also said: "I can't ask for it, the dowry prepared by the family is enough, and in the future, my brothers and brothers will study, go to Beijing to take the exam, and take relatives, as well as you and Qi Niang, Xiao Ten Sister, Eleventh Sister, which one will not spend money in the future?" Leave it at home. ”

"Don't be afraid," Banniang said, "Even the fifty acres of land of the sixth sister are not allowed to be uncollected, and the woman can not be afraid of anything if she has a permanent birth." Third sister, you don't have to worry about being far away, including the fifty acres of the sixth sister, and you don't have to worry about the sixth sister, the land that Lu Seventeen helped me buy is just not far from his family's grange, and I entrust him to take care of it. I will also help you manage the income every quarter, and send it to you once a year, you just have to wait at home to collect the money. ”

"That's not possible, Liuniang's dowry is okay to say, I'm married, how can I take my mother's money again? I don't have my sister-in-law to know, and I feel uncomfortable. Although the sister-in-law is kind-hearted and very good to us, we can't rely on the sister-in-law's goodness to ignore it and do that unreasonable thing. Sanniang stuffed the land deed into Banniang's hands, "You go back and quickly return this land to your sister-in-law." ”

"Oh, third sister, you are really troublesome, this matter, sister-in-law knows, or she proposed to buy land for the sixth sister as a dowry, saying that nothing is as reliable as the dungeon, I just remembered that Tuo Lu Seventeen helped pay attention. Besides, when you got married, our family didn't have that condition, but we didn't give you anything good, even if you went to your in-law's house, you also had a hard time, and besides, you just don't think about yourself, you have to think about our two little nephews, right? Beware that there will be no good dowry in the future, and a good daughter-in-law will not be able to marry in the future. If you don't want to spend the harvest of this field, save it every year for our two little nephews to marry. ”

Sanniang laughed at what she said, and heard that this was what Wu's sister-in-law meant, but she couldn't say anything, but she really couldn't accept this place, so she thought about going back and talking to her sister-in-law.

Banniang saw that she didn't speak, and persuaded Liuniang: "Sixth sister, you just have to accept it, don't worry, the dowry of the seventh sister will definitely be better than yours in the future, and you will regret it when the time comes, but it will be useless." Besides, my sister-in-law let me buy all of this, if you don't accept it, won't it hurt her heart? It's just that you don't treat her as your sister-in-law. ”

Liuniang and Sanniang were said by her like this, and it was difficult to say something they didn't want anymore. I thought about going back, and I and my parents, brother and sister-in-law pushed this land.

On the other hand, Qi Niang listened to Ban Niang suddenly talk about herself, and she was angry and laughed: "You said that the third sister and the sixth sister, what are you doing with me again?" Seeing that Banniang winked at her, she smiled again, "Yes, third sister and sixth sister, you just have to accept it, this girl can always compete for money, if you don't accept it, I won't have much dowry in the future." Besides, when this girl was young, we were busy with her all day long, and we didn't know how much diapers were washed for her, and we held her in the palm of our hands all day long. Eighth sister, you have prepared so much dowry for the sixth sister, if I am less than the sixth sister in the future, I will not follow it. ”

Sanniang and Liuniang were surprised, usually Xiao Qiding is a stuffy gourd, but now suddenly her mouth is so sharp, and she still talks about her marriage, which is not like her. I saw that although Qi Niang was blushing, her eyes were sincere. The two of them were not untouched in their hearts.

Banniang smiled and said: "Cheng, seventh sister, don't worry, there will definitely be more than the sixth sister at that time, if you marry two years late, I will earn you a dowry of thirty-six lifts, this is final, right?" ”

Sanniang and Liuniang both laughed.

Xiao Shi didn't understand what they were saying, so he coaxed: "That Zhen'er will be seventy-two lifts, more than the seventh sister." ”

Banniang pretended to have a bitter face: "If my mother has a few younger sisters, then I don't want to drag my small waist to the ground tiredly?" ”

Several sisters laughed and had a stomachache, and made a fuss, thinking that their grandmother was about to wake up at this time, Liuniang got up and went to Wei Yuan, and the others also went to the front yard.

As soon as I arrived at the store, I saw Li Yong talking to Cang'er there, Banniang entered the door and said with a smile: "Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you have time to come here today?" ”

After her grandmother's birthday banquet, Li Yong, who used to go to Sheraton for a meal or book two tables of noodles to go back, really hasn't eaten at Sheraton for several days. As soon as Li Yong saw Banniang, he pointed to a blue and white porcelain jar that was placed on the cabinet, and said with a smile: "I am ordered by Lu Seventeen to send you something good." ”

Cang'er skimmed, just saw him like a baby hugged such a thing, said it was for Banniang, she smelled a little strange, she wanted to open it to see, but she didn't want to ask him to stop: "This is a good thing, my brother said, it must be sent to Banniang's hands, you just look at it, you can't understand what it is." This is what it took me nearly half a year to get from the beginning of spring to the present, our brother said, this is a surprise for the thirteenth birthday of the eighth sister of the Zeng family. ”

Cang'er sneered: "Just you? Don't say half a year, even if you spend ten years, you won't be able to come up with anything useful. ”

But I was also curious in my heart, how could Lu Qiqi call such an unreliable guy to do the birthday gift for Banniang, and it tasted weird. At this time, when he saw Banniang coming, he smiled and said, "It's a birthday gift for you, what is it in?" It's also mysterious. If you want me to say, Lu Qiqi has never done a few decent things, how can he give such a gift to the girl's family? Banniang, open it up and take a look, if you play tricks on you, the next time he comes back, I will have to beat him up and relieve your anger. ”

"What do you little bitsis know? My brother can say that this gift can be liked by the eighth sister of the Zeng family more than anything given. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. ”

Banniang then remembered that she was indeed her birthday in May, and it was just these days, but she didn't expect Lu Qiqi to still have the heart to remember his birthday.

I looked at the big jar of blue and white porcelain, faintly smelled a sweet and mellow sauce fragrance, my heart moved, I was so happy that I rushed to the porcelain jar on the counter, patted the oil paper on it, and the smell of sauce immediately entered my nose. Banniang took a deep breath almost greedily, soy sauce, sure enough, it was soy sauce.

It turned out that Lu Seventeen's guy secretly made soy sauce, no wonder every time she complained to him about not having soy sauce, that guy just smiled, but didn't match her words. I'm waiting for her here.

I couldn't help but stretch out my finger and dip it a little, put it on my tongue and licked it, salty, it was indeed soy sauce.

Looking at Banniang's surprised little face, Cang Erqi said, "What is this black thing?" You, you even tasted it, what if it was dirty? It's not gold water, look at what makes you happy, you won't be so happy because you gave you this jar of black juice, right? ”

"Sister Cang'er, do you know what this is? Heck, you really don't know, but don't worry, you'll find out later. Banniang didn't have the heart to say more, she moved the soy sauce jar with a smile, and wanted to rush it to the kitchen, because although it was the soy sauce of later generations, she didn't know what the taste, color and effect were, so she wanted to go and try it immediately.

When he stepped out of the back door of the lobby, he remembered that the person who gave the gift was still there, turned around again, and said to Cang'er and Li Yong: "Sister Cang'er, you are so happy to accompany Mr. Li to chat, I am happy today, I will personally go to fry a table of dishes, and treat Mr. Li well." Master Li, you have not only helped me, you must know that because of the contents of this jar, how many good dishes will be added to the table of the people of our Great Song Kingdom. You and Lu Seventeen can be regarded as making great contributions to the livelihood of our Great Song Kingdom. ”

With that, he went to the backyard without looking back, through the water pavilion, and into the kitchen.

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?" Cang'er inexplicably looked at the figure of Banniang flying into the backyard and disappeared, and muttered.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Li Yong saw that as Lu Seventeen said, Banniang was about to go crazy when he saw this jar of soy sauce that he called soy sauce, and he was quite puzzled in his heart. One is all those things that others have not seen and that there is no one in the world, and one of them, and I like it.

shook his head, and remembered that Banniang said that she would give him a whole table of good dishes, so she became proud, and said triumphantly to Cang'er: "How is it?" I just said that Zeng Bamei would like it, right? You still don't believe it. See? This is what I Li Yong is capable of. Who has the ability to ask her to go to the closet herself? Even if Brother Lu Seventeen came in person, he didn't have this face. ”

Cang'er finally gave him some face, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "It's quite face-saving, just like you, it's strange that you have no face." ”

Li Yongzheng was proud, and she suddenly said this, and she was immediately injured: "I've lost weight recently, I've really lost weight, don't you see it?" I said you're a pretty spirited little lady, what kind of eyes are these? I went to Wanxiang Building a few days ago, and the most beautiful girls in Wanxiang Building praised me for getting more and more handsome. ”

Cang'er finally put down the abacus in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Master Li, do you know? I'm so glad you are, and so should you. ”

"Rejoice what? Are you glad to have met such a talented son as me? ”

"That's not it," Cang'er said solemnly, "I think, you and I should be glad that I haven't eaten since I was busy at noon." ”

"I wondered when I said this, you didn't eat, what am I glad about? Could it be that you eat a lot? But no matter how big you eat, that's also what Lu Seventeen and Zeng Eighth Sister are worried about, after all, what you eat every day is theirs, it's none of my business, right? ”

Cang'er pursed his lips and smiled again: "If I eat something, won't I vomit you?" In the evening, you will still be able to eat with this dirty shirt. ”

Li Yong touched it for a long time before he came back to his senses, and he was about to fight with Cang'er angrily, but unfortunately there was a high counter in the middle, and Cang'er smiled: "Hey, why did you suddenly become smart today?" Do you even understand what I am saying? It's really three days, you should be impressed. ”

"You thorny grass, grandpa fought with you today."

Cang Er didn't care about what he was saying, rolled his eyes, and continued to take the abacus to settle the account, while still disdainful Feng Qingyun said lightly: "Save it, just like you, ten more, I can beat you down." But if you want to be beaten up a little fatter and more swollen, for the sake of you also taking care of a lot of business in our store, and today I gave Banniang something she likes, so I will reluctantly make it difficult for once, and I can't do it. ”

Li Yong completely lost his temper, the first time he saw this girl, he and all the others, they all asked her to clean up alone, and she still remembers it vividly, you said that everyone is a woman, why is Zeng Banniang so liked, this girl is so hated?

Fight, you can't beat it, talk about the skin, I have always been clothed, how come I can't turn over the big waves when I get in front of her?

"I'm a good man who doesn't fight with women," Li Yong simply singled, dusting off the non-existent ash on the bright green silk shirt, "I'll go out for a walk." You remember to talk to my little sister-in-law, and I'll come back to dinner. ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Cang'er to speak, and ran out of the door.

Seeing him fleeing in the wilderness, Cang'er only felt funny, and shouted after him: "If you have the ability, you can find someone who can pay for your guests, and I promise that I will never beat you again in the future." ”

Li Yongxin said, eating with friends and asking others to spend money, he can't afford to lose that person, stab the ball, you still beat me.

But it was said that Banniang entered the kitchen, and Master Wang was startled when they saw her holding a huge jar, and the apprentice Xiao Zhao hurriedly ran over: "Miss Ba, I'll come, don't mix you." ”

Banniang turned sideways, put the big jar of soy sauce on the desk, and beckoned to Lao Wang: "Master Wang, come and take a look, what good things did I bring you?" ”

Lao Wang came over to take a look, the chef is naturally more sensitive to taste than ordinary people, and just like Banniang just now, he stretched out his finger and dipped it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, before he said to Banniang in confusion: "This is what Miss Ba said before, the kind of sauce without impurities that can be stir-fried?" ”

Seeing Banniang nodding with a smile, Master Wang was also excited: "You can really make such a thing?" Li Er, come and take a look. ”

In the past, Banniang said that if such a sauce could be made, the dishes made would be very different from the current dishes. That's why Master Wang became excited.

When several other masters came over, they tasted it one by one, and they were also interested in the black so-called sauce in this jar, and they all looked at Banniang: "Miss Ba, this sauce is really as good as you say?" Can stir-fried vegetables be flavored, fresh, and colored? ”

"Of course," Banniang nodded with a smile, "But because I heard that it was just made, I don't know what the effect is, Master Wang, you help me prepare two dishes to match, and I'll fry and see." ”

Saying this, Banniang remembered something important again, and when she was so happy just now, she forgot to ask Li Yong.
