Chapter 7 Built-in Filters
In addition to the silver given to the leather monkey, I won two taels of silver today.
Remembering that there was not much food at home, she took her younger brother to buy ingredients.
happened to find a good purple clay pot, Chen Yuanyuan waved her big hand without blinking, so she bought a pot for one or two silver for her father.
She looked at the fact that there were only five hundred wen left in her pocket, and she was quite annoyed, why was the money so unnecessary?
She didn't dare to spend it anymore, and she had to keep it as capital.
When the two returned home, it was already Shen Shi.
Sister and brother each rested for a while, and she had to prepare dinner for a while.
At this time, it was the beginning of August, and the autumn was dry and stuffy.
Zhang Erpang from the next door came to find Yunsheng to pick up firewood outside the city, and a large group of half-grown boys were also lively together, saying that they were going to collect firewood, and they were afraid that they would have to have fun.
Chen Yuanyuan had to tell them to go early and return early, and Sen Ran teased them for not letting the wolf eat, which scared the two fat little bodies and shook them, and even walked a little unfavorably.
After Chen Yunsheng left, she was the only one left in the family again.
In order not to repeat the mistakes of yesterday, she had to cook dinner slowly in advance - the so-called slow work makes careful work.
A few days ago, when she was recuperating from her injuries, she had seen Chen's mother cooking in front of the stove, and most of them were remembered by heart.
I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run, so I learned from Chen's mother, first lit a fire, and carefully remembered not to make a fire like yesterday.
However, when you look at it, you will lose it!
I hadn't lit a fire for a long time, and I was choked with tears by the smoke.
Angry several times, I have to retreat when I see it, and then I can count the fire as good.
Because of the fire, her hands had already become black, and she couldn't help but wipe her little face, and in an instant, her whole little face was already confused.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't notice it and began to steam rice.
Immediately after that, it was cutting vegetables again, and the knife work was naturally not good, but it was better than throwing the whole piece of meat into the pot and frying.
Next, she used fat meat to refine oil, and her little hands were scalded several times, and she grinned in pain, but she couldn't resist the aroma of lard.
Half a month didn't know the taste of meat, she had never eaten lard residue, she immediately sprinkled a little salt and picked up a piece and ate it, it was so delicious that she was about to cry, and she was very emotional.
A meal was cooked for more than an hour, and I was sweating.
Although the appearance is not very good, and the taste is a little bad, but fortunately, everything is safe.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but secretly praise that she was really a cooking genius!
In the blink of an eye, the sun is setting.
The warm orange sunlight sprinkled the courtyard, and the busy day was extraordinarily fulfilling, looking at the table of meals, thinking of the empty home in her previous life, for some reason she was suddenly full of hope that the Chen family would come back soon.
Just thinking about it, the Chen family has returned one after another.
Everyone was relieved to see that everything was safe at home.
It's just that when I saw that there was meat, vegetables and fruits on the table, I was quite surprised.
Especially Father Chen, when he saw the purple clay pot on one side, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, I'm afraid it would cost a lot of silver!
"Big girl, where did all this come from?"
"Naturally, I bought it!"
The girl smiled angrily, and quietly glanced at Father Chen, seeing the latter's eyes showing joy, and her heart was happy.
Mother Chen frowned: "Where did you get so much silver?" ”
She had already thought of her words in the afternoon, and then she blinked her eyes and said seriously: "This morning, an old lady fell, and I went to help save me from a difficulty, and the old lady rewarded me with some broken silver." ”
It is probably the original body and mind that is sensible, and Chen's father and mother have no doubts.
The husband and wife just looked her up and down carefully, and they were relieved to see that she was okay.
Chen Yuanyuan's heart warmed, and she couldn't imagine that the first thing her father and mother thought of was her safety...... This was something she had never felt in her previous life.
Father Chen said: "Don't be reckless in everything, since you help it, you shouldn't have a utilitarian heart, Yuanyuan, you shouldn't accept this silver." ”
Chen Yuanyuan sighed and blinked helplessly: "I didn't want to accept it, but the old lady said that the elder gave it, and it was impossible to give it." ”
The corners of Chen Yunsheng's mouth twitched as he listened, the eldest sister was really easy to lie, but he found an interesting thing, his eldest sister lied and loved to blink......
"In that case, you can take it with peace of mind." Father Chen nodded.
Chen Yuanyuan laughed in response, and changed the topic again: "Daddy, sit down and eat." ”
At this time, Tong Shi said: "Yuanyuan, someone just said that they saw you and Yunsheng with the leather monkey." ”
When the words fell, one big and one small moment were stunned in place.
The south of the city is so pointed, the neighbors don't look up and don't look down, and it's not surprising that they are bumped into by someone.
Chen Yuanyuan laughed, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said embarrassedly: "Today, the leather monkey happened to bump into me doing good deeds, and he was very moved, and said that he would accumulate virtue and do good deeds with me in the future." ”
"The child of the leather monkey is also pitiful, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and it is not easy for him to live as an orphan son until now, and his character is very stubborn without teaching. I don't want Yuanyuan to be able to lead people to goodness, so it's a good thing. ”
Tong sighed, but he didn't doubt it.
Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly nodded and blinked: "Don't worry, I have decided to accumulate virtue and do good deeds every day from tomorrow, and strive to become a great benevolent person!" ”
Father Chen shook his head in disapproval, and said in a serious voice: "Yuanyuan, you are a girl's family, don't be with a group of bastards." ”
"Dad, I know, eat quickly!"
"There is also a life to be careful about, this pot is bought for nothing, and it is a waste of silver."
"Hehe, send Daddy to apologize."
Chen Yuanyuan covered her mouth and smiled, her father was obviously very happy, and the corners of his mouth were about to rise to the sky, so he had to talk to her with a proud face?
Seeing that everyone was sitting down to eat, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a meal, Chen's mother was very distressed.
I'm afraid that the ingredients cost a lot of money, but the taste is not satisfactory, and even some of the food is ruined, why is the big girl's cooking skills getting worse and worse?
Mother Chen was puzzled, and couldn't help but glance at the eldest daughter-only saw that the latter's eyebrows were dancing, his back was straight, and his demeanor and momentum were all different from the past, and he was not at all like the bearing that a child of a poor family should have.
Feeling Chen's mother's inquiring gaze, Chen Yuanyuan was excited, and hurriedly stepped forward with vegetables: "Mother, eat quickly, it's bad if it's cold." ”
Mother Chen retracted her gaze and didn't think deeply.
It's rare to eat a lot of oil and meat, and everyone doesn't mind whether the food is delicious or not, and the food is very satisfying.
In ancient times, after nightfall, there was not much entertainment, and most people went to bed early.
Chen Yuanyuan, who was accustomed to nightlife, had nowhere to go so she had to follow the local customs and go to sleep.
The night was uneventful.
After breakfast the next day, Chen Yuanyuan was still thinking about going out to win money.
However, when Chen's mother left, she had already been told to wash the clothes that had been stored for two days!
Thinking of the hot afternoon sun, she had a headache, so she simply took advantage of the cool weather early in the morning, went to the river to wash her clothes and then went to the gambling house.
The siblings went to the moat with a wooden basin, a mallet, and soaphorn powder.
There were already many women and girls washing clothes by the river.
Although Chen Yunsheng is young, he already has the concept of men and women, and he was ridiculed by others for a few words before he was ashamed to leave.
