Chapter 12: Sheng's Beauty
Thinking that his family was so poor, and his sister-in-law not only couldn't enjoy happiness when she got married, but also had to be made difficult by her grandmother, Shen Yan felt a little guilty in her heart, and there was a sense of frustration that she couldn't do anything.
The sister-in-law is actually not wrong, if she doesn't find a way to make money, the family will really starve to death.
There is no other way out for the farmer, whether the eldest brother hunts or the third brother learns a craft, he can only make ends meet, and the hope of the second room to change his fate is actually all on him.
The beautiful boy suddenly felt the pressure doubled, his face was wrinkled like a bun, and when he got home, he entered the room with a solemn look on his back hand, picked up a copy of "Four Books" and began to look at it.
Sheng Zhu didn't bother to care about him, and greeted Shen Xi into the kitchen with a smile, and the two sisters-in-law were on the stove and under the stove, and soon made two dishes, a fried white radish, which was freshly pulled from the vegetable garden at the door, fresh and refreshing; One is scallion oil fish fillet, which is the grass carp that was stunned by her "Sheng's appearance" in the morning.
She wanted to make something heavy, such as boiled fish fillet or something, which was easier to eat, but there was no ingredient at home except oil and salt, so she could only make it light.
It's good to lose weight.
It's just that she didn't expect that in her opinion, the taste was only two ordinary dishes, and she actually let the three little ones almost swallow the plate, especially Shen Zheng, who was stunned to scrape the last drop of oil into her bowl.
"Sister-in-law, you're so delicious! Why is it that the same fish, in my hands, is a corpse with a fishy smell, and in your hands it can be turned into delicious food, do you have any secret recipe? ”
Secret recipe? Sheng Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She hurriedly asked, "Haven't you ever eaten scallion oil fish fillet before?" ”
Shen Zheng shook his head, "We eat a lot of fish, but we only fry fish, grill fish and grill fish, sometimes we are reluctant to oil, so we simply throw it in water and cook it, and then put a little salt to adjust the taste after it is cooked." It's not very tasty, but it's good enough to fill your stomach. ”
Sheng Zhu suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, "Then do you know the fish and sheep?" ”
Shen Zheng's eyes widened, "What is fish and sheep fresh?" He pouted, "I don't know much, don't coax me, do you have this dish, why don't I know?" You better ask the second brother, he has read and seen the world in the town, maybe he has heard of it. ”
Shen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't heard of it either." ”
He is the kind of person who does not listen to what is going on outside the window and only reads the books of the sages, and never asks his classmates, "Have you eaten today?" Therefore, I don't know whether the other party is eating big fish and meat or green vegetables and radish.
But what is certain is that as far as he knows of the recipe, there is absolutely no such dish as "fish and sheep fresh".
Sheng Zhu's eyes brightened, "Second brother, you are more familiar with the situation in the town than me, you said, if I sell the recipe to the restaurant in the town, will they buy it?" ”
This one... Shen Yan couldn't say it well, in his opinion, the restaurant was a place where rich people could go in to eat, and he couldn't afford to eat it, so of course he never paid attention to it.
However, there is no food in the house anymore, so I have to try everything.
After thinking about it, he said: "I have a classmate who runs a restaurant at home, and if my sister-in-law really wants to sell recipes, why don't we go to the town tomorrow and ask, if he is interested, it is the best, if he is not interested, we will think of other ways." ”
Sheng Zhu is overjoyed, the ready-made door does not need to be in vain.
"Okay, that's it!"
After dinner, Shen Zheng went to Master Zhang's carpenter's house as usual, Shen Xi was weak, and several brothers didn't let her work, so she could only play with the dog in the yard.
Shen Yan was just about to go back to the room to continue reading, but was stopped by Sheng Zhu.
She motioned for him to look at the little girl in the yard, and asked in a low voice, "The fourth sister doesn't seem to like to go out, doesn't she have a good friend?" ”
In her impression, it is normal for rural children to play wildly everywhere, in groups of three or five, running in the mountains and swimming in the water, bouncing and jumping is in line with Shen Xi's age.
Even if Shen Xi is not in good health, going out for a walk more is good for her mood.
Shen Yan's eyes were slightly gloomy, and it took a long time to arrive: "Fourth sister, she... It's special, and the children in the village don't pay attention to her, so..."
Sheng Zhu narrowed his eyes, what do you mean, the little children also form gangs and isolate themselves?
"What's going on?" She asked.
Shen Yan explained with a wry smile: "This matter started two years ago. At that time, although the fourth sister was weak, she took medicine regularly, and she usually couldn't see it. She likes to run around, she likes to play with other children, and her favorite thing is to go to the mountains to pick wildflowers, and dress up her house like a flower house, with fragrance everywhere. But once, she was pushed down a hill from behind by a child and was unconscious for two days......"
Sheng Zhu's heart tugged.
A child's innocence is sometimes cute, but sometimes it is a sharp knife that can kill people invisibly.
"And then?"
Later, Dr. Ge in the village said that there was no help, so let him prepare for the future. The eldest aunt ran over with her son Shen Jinbao, shouting that we should immediately throw the fourth sister into the ravine to feed the wolves, so as to save the unlucky death at home, and said that such a young child is a female baby, and she is not worthy of a coffin, let alone an ancestral grave. ”
The eldest brother was very angry and kicked Shen Jinbao out of the door, which frightened them and didn't dare to say anything. After that, we took the fourth sister to the town's Baicaotang, and the fourth sister's life should not be extinguished, that day the Baicaotang sat in the hall is the Qin imperial doctor who told the old man to return to his hometown, he has excellent medical skills, and he is benevolent, and finally saved the fourth sister. ”
"Although she didn't die, Imperial Doctor Qin said that the fourth sister was a disease brought out of her mother's womb, and she might be able to live to adulthood if she was well raised, but after this accident, she may not live to be ten years old......"
Speaking of this, Shen Yan blinked, trying to force the light in his eyes back.
He coughed lightly, and then said: "We inquired that it was Lin Chunwang, the grandson of the village chief's family, who pushed the fourth sister down the mountain, that kid was three years older than the fourth sister, and he was spoiled since he was a child, and he was domineering with his identity, and no one dared to provoke him. The reason why he pushed the fourth sister down the mountain was just because he saw that the flowers in the fourth sister's basket were beautiful, and he wanted to snatch them for his pigs to eat. Of course, the fourth sister refused, so Lin Chunwang instigated two other children as old as him to push her down. ”
"What's even more hateful is that when the fourth sister was seriously ill, none of the three families came to apologize, not only that, but they also beat a rake, saying that the fourth sister rolled down the mountain by herself, just to blackmail their family's money!"
Hearing this, Sheng Zhu only felt anger surge.
The human heart is really the most terrible thing, and this fallacy is also due to them.
"What happened?" she asked. ”
Shen Yan continued: "The third brother has a hot temper, and he was about to rush over to teach those three bad boys a lesson, but he was stopped by the eldest brother. The eldest brother asked us to take care of the fourth sister at home, and went to the door by himself, beating the father of the three children half to death. ”
