Umeko is going to take out the dishes and chopsticks that she sent yesterday and clean them. It's new, but there's still dust or something.
Meizi put two large wooden basins on the edge of the well in the courtyard, put the dishes and chopsticks in them, and washed one and cleaned the other.
The large and small add up to almost a hundred or so chopsticks.
When the plums were halfway washed, Zhou made the bed.
Saw Umeko washing dishes in the yard. I rolled up my sleeves and took it with the little pony, and washed it on the side of the plum.
The two of them are much faster. It didn't take long to wash it.
The two of them put the dishes and chopsticks in the basin separately. Size separated.
Get these Zhou and go out with the second girl. I'm going to see what fresh fruit is on sale, as well as sweets and pastries. Although they are all family members who don't care about these, they still have to have what they should have.
Umeko soaked the rice in water. I'm going to steam it in a pot later, and it's rare to be lively today with white rice.
Meizi took Zhou Zhu, the little guy, to pick vegetables and vegetables in the yard.
Wash it and use it later, so as not to be in a hurry. He boiled water again, put it in a clay pot, warmed it, and waited for someone to make tea and drink it.
Do these well. Meizi had nothing to do, and took the little one to sit in the yard and bask in the sun. The morning sun leaked out slightly, shining on the body and not feeling too hot at all.
………………………………………………………
"Sister, when will my mother come back? I'm hungry. ”
The little guy tugged at the hem of Meizi's clothes and looked up at Meizi with a pair of black grape-like eyes.
Meizi stretched out her hand and rubbed the little one's hair, which had not yet grown long.
"I'm hungry! That sister will take you to buy steamed buns to eat. ”
The little one jumped up happily when he heard that there was something to eat.
"Good! All right! Sister is the best. I'm going to eat meat buns. Let's buy one for my father and mother and the second girl! ”
Meizi listened to the little guy and didn't forget to think about his family, and she was also relieved in her heart, feeling that she didn't have a little white-eyed wolf.
"Good. Sister buys it. ”
The sister and brother jumped to the tofu stall diagonally opposite.
"The girl of the Zhou family is here! Is there something going on so early today? ”
Grandma Sun, who sells tofu brains, greeted Meizi from afar.
When the Meizi sisters and brothers heard Grandma Sun speak, they greeted politely one after another.
"Grandma Sun, our family came over to open the stove today. So it came early. After speaking, he asked Granny Sun to pack two baskets of xiaolongbao.
"No wonder, today is indeed a good day." After speaking, he put the xiaolongbao in his hand in oiled paper and handed it to Meizi.
At this time, it was the busiest time for the breakfast stall, and the two of them exchanged a few words casually.
Meizi paid and pulled Zhou Zhu back in the direction he was coming from.
The siblings had just arrived home and sat down for a while. Tuesday He and Zhou entered the door for about a long time.
Meizi put the xiaolongbao on a saucer. I went back and dipped a few vinegar in a small bowl.
Just now, when he first entered the door, Meizi took one and gave it to Zhou Zhu to eat first. Take the rest back and put it in the pot and steam.
I don't know when they will come back on Tuesday for fear that it will be cold for a long time, and everyone will come, so they will all take it out.
The family finished eating xiaolong buns.
They are busy with today's lunch.
Tuesday River from Uncle Zhou. Bought some pork.
There are large intestines, pig's feet, and pork ribs.
Wash these and chop them up, cut them up.
Zhou killed another chicken, as well as a few small crucian carp.
Today, Mei Zi is in charge of the kitchen, and Zhou is in charge.
Plum boiled the pig's large intestine and changed the knife.
Add a variety of ingredients to stir-fry.
The pig's feet were stewed in a pig's feet soup, and the ribs were also stewed in corn soup, which was not very greasy on a hot day.
Then he fried the crucian carp until golden brown on both sides, mixed it with water, cut some tofu, and poured it into a casserole to boil.
It is also fortunate that there are many stoves. They all burned. A casserole pot is placed on each stove to boil slowly, there is no iron pot in this place, and the soup is made in a casserole or clay pot.
It's too early to get these things done. It's just cutting the vegetables out. waited for someone to come almost before starting to fry.
On Tuesday River forgot to buy wine and went out again.
Plum goes to the side of the pot and pours out the steamed rice. Went through cold water. Drain the water, put it in the retort and steam.
Steaming rice like this is a bit of a hassle process. But the steamed rice is chewy and fragrant.
"Yo! This store looks good! It's okay for two people to be in these two rivers! muffled to make a fortune. ”
Zhou and Meizi stopped their movements when they heard this voice. They looked at each other.
The eyes of the two women met in the air, and the eyes of each other were self-evident.
Zhou hurriedly put down the apron around his body, raised his hand and rubbed his face. Put on a smile and walk out of the kitchen.
"Mother, sister-in-law, you are here. Sit in the fast house............"
Zhou let the two into the hall. When the people sat down, they took out the pastries and sweets they bought today. Hurriedly beckoning people to hurry up and eat.
"My brother and sister can't see it! It's only been a few years, and I can come to the county to buy a house. ”
Zhou Dachuan's daughter-in-law. That is, Meizi's aunt opened her mouth.
Zhou listened to Zhou Dachuan's daughter-in-law's words, and naturally heard a sour feeling from it.
It's not surprising to think about it, Zhou Dachuan's family is in the pork business. It was only last year that I saved some money and bought a small courtyard house on the edge of the city.
This looks like the boss is about to get married. Naturally, I don't think the house is enough to live in. Now I'm looking at the house of the River family on Tuesday. It's not big, but it's more than enough for a family. So when I say it, I don't consciously sour.
"Look at what the sister-in-law said. Isn't this a family diligent? The strength of the family is in one place, and this house is not a matter of time. ”
Zhou Dachuan's daughter-in-law felt bored when she heard this. Na Na's opening.
"My brother and sister are right."
After speaking, I don't talk about it. Sitting at the table, picking and picking and eating the pastries on the plate.
The old lady, who had been sitting on the side, was very upset when she heard this.
"Hmph, what kind of family force is working in one place! Just what you can do with those two money-losing things. It's not all about my hard-working little son. Otherwise, how can this big family live a good life. ”
After the old lady said this, she didn't forget to squint her eyes in Zhou's direction.
After hearing this, Zhou's smiling face that he had just tried his best to maintain was also a little broken.
I couldn't help but mutter. If it weren't for the money-losing thing you hated in your heart. Not necessarily this shop?
Zhou is too lazy to climb these here. I'm afraid that the old lady will burst out of something and she won't be able to collapse and put on a face. When the time comes, the reputation of unfilial piety will have to be spread out.
Zhou Shi replied lightly.
"Yes. That's what my mother said. ”
Zhou Shi said this. I don't want to talk about it. said that he couldn't leave people on the stove. I'll have to go back and watch.
"You're not going to let those two lose money to do it! Or don't you want to see me, old lady? ”
Zhou couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
