It looks like a simple job, but it is a bit tedious to do, and it has to be very careful, otherwise it is easy to hurt your fingers.

Lu's eyes are not good, and his eyes are even worse at night, and he can't do this kind of thing at all, so he can only help Shen Xiangmiao to make lo-mei on the side, but fortunately, Shen Wentao took the initiative to stay and help with the work.

The reputation is that he steals from teachers to learn art.

Shen Xiangmiao and the Lu family naturally knew that he wanted to help, but they were afraid that Shen Xiangmiao and the Lu family would not agree, so they pulled such a pretense.

Lu wanted to insist on "driving Shen Wentao away", but in the end, Shen Xiangmiao spoke: "Forget it, I'm afraid that it won't be practical to drive him away, so just stay here." ”

When Shen Wentao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "I'm thinking about stealing from the teacher to learn art, if I am really driven away by the second aunt and Sister Xiangmiao, wouldn't it be impossible to succeed in the treacherous scheme?" ”

"Well, I'm still here when I'm here." Lu Shi smiled, moved the pestle over for the two of them to sit, and lit a few more oil lamps to prevent them from seeing clearly.

Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Wentao were making hawthorn here, and the Lu family was cooking lo-mei over there.

In addition to work, it is inevitable to make small talk.

"Speaking of which, your uncle's family is not at home these days, and I heard that I went to the county seat." Lu Shi said: "When I went to deliver pigskin jelly to your grandparents today, I heard what they said, it seems that I went to the eldest aunt and her second sister. ”

The Xu family has a total of three brothers and sisters, the Xu family is the eldest, the second sister is the younger Xu, and then the youngest Xu Shuzi.

Needless to say, Xu and Xu Shuzi are carved out of a mold, and they are all selfish people, which can be seen in some of the previous things.

It's just that this little Xu family, Shen Xiangmiao has not had much contact, only heard the Xu family show off in the past, saying that the little Xu family married a rich family, and the husband's family is doing a lot of business, and now they are living a life of fine clothes and food.

"As sisters, there are also people who move around." Shen Xiangmiao replied casually.

"yes." Lu Shi flicked the firewood burning in the stove to make the fire bigger: "Jingqiu will be fifteen years old next year, you can officially say goodbye, and your uncle and aunt can walk around more among relatives." ”

Xiao Xu's family is in the county seat, and her husband's family is doing business, so the relationship is naturally wider, and if Xiao Xu's is in the middle, he will definitely be able to find a good family background for Jingqiu.

I'm afraid that Shen Futian and the Xu family fought this idea, so they took Shen Jingqiu to Xiao Xu's place to walk around for a while.

When Shen Wentao heard this, he couldn't help but pout: "As for Sister Jingqiu's temper, I'm afraid that even those with a better family background can't look down on her appearance, I'm afraid that the uncle and the aunt will have to work in vain in the end." ”

Shen Wentao didn't like the big house family at all, and he couldn't help but be a little mean when he spoke.

Although his words were a little mean and unpleasant, what Shen Wentao said was the truth.

Marrying a wife should be virtuous, whether it is a good family background or an average family background, it requires the future daughter-in-law to be able to manage the family in a good way, be virtuous and courteous.

But obviously, Shen Jingqiu didn't have these.

It's so lazy to do, the oil bottle is poured on weekdays, and there is no one who can take the needlework and cooking skills, such a big girl's family, the clothes on weekdays are all washed by Xu's, and the handkerchief can't be cleaned, but the temperament is very arrogant, and the mouth is even more unpleasant.

In terms of appearance, Shen Jingqiu is just an average person, not outstanding, not a symbol, at most he can only be highlighted by his youth.

If Shen Jingqiu wants to find someone with a good family background, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

It's just that......

"It's okay to work in vain or not, as long as you get busy, it's good." Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips, but the movements in her hands were not slow at all.

Although this big house family has found a lot of trouble in the second room in recent days, but no matter which time it has not taken any advantage, not to mention the final punishment, it is more than worth the loss, Shen Xiangmiao has repeatedly rectified them, and now the big house family no longer dares to come to the door to provoke the second and third rooms.

It's just that seeing that the new two-bedroom house is about to be built, I don't know what bad ideas the Xu family and Shen Futian have under envy and jealousy.

Although this annoying fly can be slapped accurately, if the fly buzzes all day long, it is really annoying.

But if Shen Futian and the Xu family were busy, it would be different, and Shen Futian and the Xu family would not have so much time to spend and spend, let alone the idea of fighting the two of them.

Therefore, Shen Xiangmiao naturally looked at Shen Futian and the Xu family to worry about Shen Jingqiu's affairs.

Shen Wentao heard the meaning of Shen Xiangmiao's words, and nodded again and again: "That's it." ”

Lu Shi also pursed his lips, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.

It took a long time for the hawthorn to be processed, and the hawthorn with the core removed and the pedicle washed and boiled in a pot with water and rock sugar.

It takes about a cup of tea to boil, and when the hawthorn is almost soft, Shen Xiangmiao takes the pot down.

"Mother, you helped me get the iron box that I made when I made pork skin jelly last time." Shen Xiangmiao said and turned to Shen Wentao: "You go to the yard and wash your hands quickly." ”

"Hmm." Lu Shi and Shen Wentao went separately according to their words.

After seeing that the two of them went out, Shen Xiangmiao brought the boiled hawthorn to the portable kitchen, took a cooking machine, and beat the hawthorn into a delicate puree.

There are a lot of hawthorns, and it took two times to finish, and when Shen Xiangmiao poured the hawthorn mud back into the pot and added white sugar and rock sugar to stir-fry it under low heat, Lu took the cleaned iron box and wiped the water on the iron box with a cage cloth.

The hawthorn mud mixed with sugar is slowly boiled on the pot, the sour of hawthorn and the sweetness of sugar are completely mixed together, and the slightest hint of heat rises, and the sweet and sour smell makes people can't help but start snorting.

"It smells so good." Lu Shi put the cleaned iron box on the cutting board, so that Shen Xiangmiao could use it later.

Shen Wentao washed his hands and came in, and his little nose twitched and twitched: "Just smelling it, I feel that it is delicious." ”

As soon as the words fell, the wolf in the courtyard outside, "Wangwang" barked twice, snorting and panting, and clicked twice.

"Look at this appearance, I'm afraid that the wolf also knows that Sister Xiangmiao is making delicious food, and she is also waiting to eat it." Shen Wentao pursed his lips and smiled.

"If the wolf even knows this, I'm afraid he has really become a refinement." Shen Xiangmiao laughed while quickly stirring the hawthorn mud in the pot, and when the hawthorn mud was thick enough to hang on the spatula and not fall, Shen Xiangmiao took the pot down again.

The hawthorn mud is poured into the tin box, filled, and the bottom is patted from time to time to expel the air.

Half a pot of hawthorn mud filled four large iron boxes.
