Chapter 73: Unfavorable rumors spread
Twilight falls.
The villagers who worked at Ye Qing's house called it a day and went down the mountain to go home.
When they went down the mountain, everyone had a stick in their hands, for fear that they would encounter wolves on the way down.
"Nanshan, let's eat some wotou, drink some bone broth and go to bed early, the braised pork made from yesterday's steamed wotou is enough to eat at noon tomorrow."
Gu Nanshan nodded.
When Mimancang returned home, the family had just served the dinner bowl.
Aunt Liu hurriedly greeted her eldest son: "Come back, come over and eat after washing your hands." ”
"Mother, I already washed my hands when I just finished work." Mimancang walked to the table in the courtyard and sat down, took the bowl and ate it in a big gulp.
Although it is said that the speed of eating in the rice warehouse is very fast on weekdays, after Aunt Liu and the daughter-in-law of the warehouse saw it at this time, they thought of the two pairs of pigs that Ye Qing bought yesterday and went into the water, and they immediately misunderstood.
"Mancang, haven't you eaten enough at noon?" Pu Shi looked at her husband with a distressed face, whether it was cutting trees or carrying stones, this was all manual work, how could you do it if you didn't have enough to eat.
Mi Mancang took a moment to pick up rice in his mouth, raised his head to look at the old lady, daughter-in-law and younger brother, and saw that the three of them had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained with excitement dancing with his eyebrows.
"We all ate to our heart's content at noon, let me tell you, Brother Nanshan's daughter-in-law is really skillful, the stinky pig in the water, and the not very delicious pig's head meat, I just let Sister-in-law Ye make it delicious."
Aunt Liu: "? "Impossible, right?
Pu: "...... Really? ”
Mi Man's Cabinet: "Brother, what a delicious way?" You're bragging, aren't you? ”
Seeing the suspicious eyes of the three of them, Mi Mancang smacked his lips.
"What's the good of lying to you about this? I don't believe that tomorrow you will ask the people with whom you are going to work today...... Anyway, the pig went into the water, and I don't know how to do it by Sister-in-law Ye, I can smell a rich fragrance from afar, and there is no smell of the pig's intestine that we usually make. ”
"......" The three of them looked at the gushing rice mancang in disbelief.
"Not only is the pig water delicious, the pig's head meat is also delicious, and the winter melon soup stewed with sticks and bones is also delicious, even the mixed noodles are very soft to eat, and they are not as hard as the nests we usually make, mother, when you have time, you go to your sister-in-law to learn the craft of cooking."
Aunt Liu and the three of them saw that Gu Mancang was talking about the truth, and they already faintly believed it in their hearts.
This night.
The villagers of Gujia Village who went up to work in the mountains today had a heated discussion at the dinner table about the pig that was eaten at Ye Qing's house at noon.
Many people don't believe that pigs can taste good in the water.
After all.
When many people are in difficulty at home, they also buy pigs to stew in water, but no matter how many times they wash them with water, no matter how long they cook them, they still smell of.
And so.
The suspicion of the family made these people who worked at noon the next day, and everyone invariably saved some pig water and pig head meat from their mouths, and then wrapped them in leaves and took them home.
。。。。。。
The next few days
Just when Ye Qing's family was in full swing to build the courtyard wall.
The villages around Gujia Village and the town of Lianghekou.
In response to the separation of Gu Nanshan and his wife from the Gu family's old house a few days ago, rumors abounded.
In a restaurant in town.
A rich man shook his folding fan and said to his companion, "Have you heard? ”
"What's the matter?" The fat man asked casually while nibbling on the chicken legs.
"It's Gu Nanshan from Gujia Village...... I heard that he seems to be a dutiful son, but in fact he is a traitor inside, it is said that when he followed the imperial army to recapture Qingxian from the barbarians, he secretly got a lot of valuable good things! ”
