Chapter 107: Dog in the Mud
Although I don't know how many hues Wu Yutong sacrificed, the design of Xu Tingting went well.
Right now, Xu Tingting is wiping her face with something specially prepared for her by Wen Xueqi, which will make her skin much better in a few days, but in less than a month, it will bring a huge blow to the stratum corneum of the skin.
It takes a long time to be deactivated.
As for the extent to which it can be restored, it all depends on one's own creation. Without this handsome face, what kind of scene will it be like to find a partner in the future, Wen Xueqi is quite curious.
After all, Xu Tingting had treated her like that, and she always felt that she didn't make her feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life, and she was a little sorry for herself.
So, in order to be worthy of herself, she must regret the rest of her life.
Who made Wen Xueqi not a good person.
Wu Yutong helped Wen Xueqi achieve his goal, and according to the agreement, Wen Xueqi must invite him to eat chestnut cake and mutton noodles.
Wen Xueqi originally wanted to take him to a small shop in the town to eat, but this idea was strongly opposed by Wu Yutong, who thought it was too perfunctory.
In desperation, Wen Xueqi had no choice but to take Wu Yutong to the town to buy materials and go home to make them himself.
The town is very lively when it comes to markets, and in addition to buying and selling all kinds of things, there are also some entertainment activities, such as song and dance troupes.
At the door of the song and dance troupe, there will always be a person who grew up in a bottle.
They looked amazed that the rest of their bodies were in bottles except for their heads.
This entertainment is particularly eye-catching, and different song and dance troupes come to perform here every time they meet, satisfying the curiosity of children and young people.
In that poor and backward place, where entertainment activities are scarce, people's spiritual needs have not been met for a long time, so such a song and dance troupe is very popular.
Wu Yutong grew up in the center of the city since he was a child, and he had never seen anything like this, so he was very curious and shouted to go in and see it for a while.
Wen Xueqi was not very lively, so he went separately with him and went to buy chestnut cake, weighed two catties of mutton, bought green onions, ginger and coriander, and bought a small package of salted fish.
When everything that should be bought was bought, and Wu Yutong was not seen coming out, Wen Xueqi waited at the door of the song and dance troupe for a while, worried that he would be targeted and something would happen, so he bought a ticket and went in to find him.
On the stage, a girl wore a fiery red bra and a skirt that slit to her thighs, wearing heavy makeup and scratching her head. Although she is missing an arm, it does not affect her graceful posture and dancing at all.
The men had cigarettes in their hands, squinted, cracked their mouths, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and laughed. The children pushed and punched each other, and turned their heads away in embarrassment, glancing only at the girl with their eyes.
The girl threw a flattering look at the people in the audience, and some men coaxed her, whistling at her, and the audience laughed.
Wen Xueqi looked for it among the men, expecting to see Wu Yutong, and it was best to see him whistling at the girl, so that he could really put his heart in his stomach.
She walked around the crowd for a long time, but she didn't see Wu Yutong's shadow, and she had a vague bad feeling in her heart.
It can't be those who robbed the road to make a fortune and kidnapped him, right?
Come to my mother, according to Wu Yu's combat effectiveness with that tofu scum, how can I really meet the kidnapping?
She hurriedly intensified her search, not only in the crowd, but also in the dressing room on the side. Ignoring the obstruction of the staff of the song and dance troupe, she broke in with the curtain open and looked for Wu Yutong.
There are many fathers and villagers outside, and at this time, they found people and shouted, and there was a great possibility of being rescued.
A black curtain next to it shook violently, and it could be clearly confirmed that there must be someone behind the curtain.
Could it be that they tied Wu Yutong here?
Wen Xueqi pushed the head of the regiment aside and rushed straight towards the black curtain. As soon as he opened the curtain, the man inside exclaimed in surprise and scolded Wen Xueqi.
Before Wen Xueqi could blush, it was already dark in front of him.
The body was controlled by a tremendous force, and he took two steps back, falling into a broad, familiar embrace.
The familiar sandalwood fragrance snuggled into her nose, and the hot hand gently applied to her eyes, preventing her from seeing something inappropriate for children.
She heard the sound of the curtain being closed, the sound of Wu Yutong apologizing for the aftermath, and other voices, and then he helped her out of the song and dance troupe.
Feeling the hustle and bustle of the autumn light in his eyes, Wen Xueqi hurriedly pushed his hand away, "What are you doing, if you don't go home, you won't be able to make mutton noodles?" ”
Wu Yutong snorted aggrievedly, "Brother just protected you from pornography, gambling and drugs, why don't you know a word of thanks?" ”
Behind the curtain, there was a chair with a backrest, and a girl with mutilated arms was lying on the back of the chair without an inch.
She knelt on one leg in the chair, and the other leg was on the ground to support, serving the guests with a blank face; And the customers she serves are the local villagers.
When Wu Yutong took her away, she listened carefully to the movement next to her, and two villagers in their forties and fifties were negotiating with the head of the regiment, wanting to go in together to seek services, and asked the head of the regiment to charge one dollar less.
Wu Yutong asked her face and was a little worried, "Uncomfortable?" ”
Wen Xueqi shook his head, "No." Let's go back. ”
What's so uncomfortable, it's all for life.
How can they live without a minimum living guarantee, without education, and with physical disabilities? Don't expect them to be supported at home. A healthy girl is not treated well by her family, let alone an unsound girl?
They are likely to be thrown away by their families after birth, and it is not easy to survive.
As long as their disabilities are not intentionally made; As long as what they do doesn't happen against their will because they are being controlled by others, she thinks everything is normal.
Even if it's not normal, it's normal. Existence is reasonable.
Besides, how much is the difference between myself in the previous life and the disabled girl?
The biggest difference is probably that the girl is in the short-term "FMCG business", while she is a long-term stable "job".
Thanks to Wu Yutong for not being interested in her, otherwise she would have signed a long-term prostitution contract, and her body was bought out by Wu Yutong.
Those days are too sad, living like an object, not having sovereignty over oneself, and having one's dignity trampled on by oneself. Even if she is willing to beg for a living, she will inevitably be injured and her skin will be incomplete, and she doesn't want to go through it again at all.
Wu Yutong took the things in her hand, and suddenly asked her with some seriousness, "Wen Xueqi, why do I always feel that you have a lot of things hidden in your heart and a lot of secrets." ”
The ruthlessness and calmness with which she handles things, and the calm when she sees the dark side of society, always makes him wonder if she is really just a sixteen-year-old flower girl.
Wen Xueqi glanced at him lightly, "Because I'm always thinking about how to feed your sheep to death, slaughter them and drink whole sheep soup." ”
When I got home, Mother Wen had already made tofu and was washing the dog in the mud.
When the water in the river and pond recedes, every villager can catch and eat it. This thing nourishes the body, tastes good, and is a famous dish for entertaining relatives and friends, and entertaining distinguished guests.
When Mother Wen saw Wen Xueqi coming back, she hurriedly beckoned, "Second girl, come and help me." Wash the green onion and coriander, scrape the ginger and peel out the garlic cloves. ”
Wen Xueqi soaked the mutton in the basin, glanced at the things that Wen's mother had cleaned up, and asked, "Mom, you didn't roll noodles?" Will it be too late for a while? ”
Mother Wen rinsed the dog in the mud with well water and arranged, "Don't worry, the dog in the mud has to be stewed for a while, and the mutton has to be stewed, and the noodles are not in a hurry at all." ”
Nowadays, the machine for pressing noodles is not very popular, and the noodles eaten in the village are rolled out by themselves.
Mixing dough, kneading dough, paving dough, and cutting into strips are all indispensable and not very complicated, but they do require time and effort.
Mother Wen is naturally much stronger than Wen Xueqi in cooking and stir-frying, and she has already planned these tasks.
"Second girl, you invite Manager Wu to divide the tofu."
Wu Yutong looked at Mother Wen in surprise, "You made tofu so early?" ”
That's not, who made Wu Yu a distinguished guest!
Mother Wen soaked the beans last night, so that after the beans absorbed the water, they were soft and big, and then it was convenient to squeeze the soy milk today.
The squeezed soy milk does not add excess water, boils in a pot, and adds salt and brine, and the soy milk will slowly coalesce together. In the end, there will be a clear separation between the clear soup and the condensed tofu brain.
Scoop out the tofu brain and put it in a sieve covered with a cage cloth and strain it, and this is the prototype of tofu.
Then wrap the tofu in a cage cloth, tie the cage cloth mouth, and squeeze it vigorously to filter out the water inside as much as possible.
Next, the tofu mold frame is put on the column cage cloth to shape the bean curd block; Then press the tofu with a tofu beam and squeeze the water out.
After an hour or so, you can untie the cage cloth and get a large piece of delicious tofu.
Then choose a person, hold a kitchen knife, according to the local saying, cut a few knives horizontally, cut a few knives vertically, and divide them into small pieces, and that's it.
"Manager Wu, this is something I made for you, you look at it."
This is the old rule in the village, when I was poor in the past, I couldn't eat tofu once during the New Year's holidays. Therefore, cutting tofu is a very solemn thing, and most of them invite blessed old people, or noble relatives to come, and everyone wants to say auspicious.
Wu Yutong was treated as a distinguished guest, so he naturally had this qualification.
Wu Yutong was a little flattered, since this is the case, then he is not welcome.
Wen Xueqi handed him the kitchen knife and reminded, "The people in the village are a little particular, the number of horizontal knives and vertical knives for cutting tofu should be the same, and the number of blocks should be auspicious." You also know that a piece of tofu, with a knife, will become two. ”
She deliberately accentuated the tone on "one" and "two", intending to remind Wu Yutong that the number of knives is singular, so the cut tofu block is a double number, so in order for the tofu block to be a double number, you can choose to cut one, three, or up to five knives.
She thought, the words have been said so clearly, Wu Yutong shouldn't have a low EQ and make a singular number, right?
After all, there is a saying that good things come in pairs, and if you understand a little bit of things, you can understand the Tao here. Wu Yu has lived for two lifetimes, and this little thing can't be unavoided.
I saw that he raised the knife in his hand, and the knife was fast and hateful, and he didn't give people the slightest chance to stop it.
Two knives horizontally and two knives vertically, a piece of soybean curd was divided into nine medium-sized pieces.
Wen Xueqi looked at his ruined tofu with a stiff face, while Wu Yutong proudly introduced her to his "masterpiece".
"You see, two 'two knives', two good things come in pairs; three horizontal pieces, three vertical pieces, three living things, the food at home in the future will definitely be inexhaustible; a total of nine pieces of tofu, now is September, and it will be the Double Ninth Festival, which is just in line with the season; besides, we still have the saying that the ninety-nine daughter is red, and this 'nine' is also just given to you, how perfect."
“……”
Wen Xueqi looked at Wu Yutong with a smile, it's good if you're happy.
Wu Yutong winked at her, "Do you think my brother is very powerful?" Let me tell you, I can not only cut tofu, but also make tofu! ”
He took out a piece of tofu, skillfully cut it into small pieces, boiled it in hot water, fished it out, and put it on the plate of Wufu Linmen.
I asked Wen's mother again, found a jar for pickling leek flowers, scooped two spoonfuls of leek flowers, poured them on the white and tender tofu, and a side dish was completed.
He tasted it first, and felt that the leek flowers were not very salty, and after dipping it in the tofu, the taste was a little light, so he sprinkled some salt and readjusted it.
"You can taste it, I make this dish very delicious."
Wu Yutong picked up a piece of tofu and sent it to Wen Xueqi's mouth, his eyes were shining, full of expectations, and his expression was the same as when a child did something and tried to show it to adults, wanting to seek the recognition and praise of adults.
Wen Xueqi looked at the tofu that was about to be dipped in leek flowers.
In the last life, the first dish she cooked for him was this.
