Chapter Twenty-Six: Nonsense

"Xiaoman has worked hard today, this mother will do it."

"Okay, I want to eat my mother's food too."

The mother and daughter are cooking in the house, and a few male babies are building chicken coops, and the family plans to come back with some chicks tomorrow. Father Ye went out with a few pennies and came back to dye cloth in two vats.

In the stove room, a fire is lit in the stove, white radish bone broth is boiled in the pot, and steamed buns are steamed in a steamer.

Mrs. Ye sliced the braised pork in a bowl, plucked some maran head and coriander in the ground, mixed it with the newly bought soy sauce today, heated the casserole on the small stove, cut the Chinese cabbage, bracken, and eggplant into long strips, stacked layer by layer, smeared with minced ginger, minced garlic and bean paste, and boiled.

The smoke curls and the aroma of vegetables, meat, and noodles rampant in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, scratching everyone's distraction.

"Xiaoman, come." Aunt Ye cut off a large piece of meat and stuffed it into Xiaoman's mouth.

The cheeks are bulging, the meat pieces are salty and fragrant, and the taste is delicious, Xiao Man picked up two slices while chewing, and also stuffed them into Aunt Ye's mouth.

"It's delicious."

The mother and daughter tacitly smiled at each other.

The two large tanks rolled into the small courtyard horizontally, and Father Ye beckoned a few male babies: "Come on, come on, take the handle and get the cylinder to the backyard." ”

He himself went into the stove room with a gloomy face.

"Xiaoman, my father just met Widow Li outside, she looked very unhappy, and said a bunch of strange things."

Without waiting for Ye Xiaoman to ask, Aunt Ye spoke up first: "What did she say?" ”

"Say that you dyed the cloth blindly, the dyeing must not be good, and the master of the Lu class is not blind, and people will not want your cloth in two days."

"Listening to her hypocrisy, she has never seen Xiaoman's dyed cloth, this is jealous of our family's nonsense, ignore her. Packed up and eaten. ”

Aunt Ye opened the pot and put the meat buns into the bowl, which was enough to fill five large bowls. Daddy Ye picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about it.

"You look like a child, yes! I don't wash my hands either! Aunt Ye blamed him.

Daddy Ye smiled and didn't argue, and went out to set the table with a bun.

Meat buns are served, braised pork is served, and bone broth is served...... Everyone is served and eaten.

There are eight people in the family, twenty meat buns, two for one person and more than four.

"Mother, father, you eat."

"Xiaoman eats one, and the rest of the boys are divided, the work in the field is heavy these days, and the small ones are tired."

"Auntie and Daddy eat, you are the most tired."

Everyone let go back and forth, and in the end, each bun was broken in half, and one person ate it happily.

After the meal, Father Ye and Aunt Ye saw that the dishes at home were growing well, so they picked some and took them to the door.

While it was still dark, Ye Xiaoman hurriedly prepared for dyeing cloth.

She asked Qi Ye to fill the newly bought vat with water and asked Qi Shan to chop more firewood and come back. As for Tao Ran, Wei Mian and Bai Qiu, she didn't call them. The disappointed trio had to find something to do on their own and stay in the backyard slowly.

Because the pioneer Lu Banzhu said that the linen cloth was poor, Ye Xiaoman deliberately spent fifty yuan to buy a bundle of cotton cloth at the market.

Compared to linen, cotton yarn is soft and breathable, and it is easier to dye. Color-wise, she wanted to dye a color that wasn't very common but was very beautiful.

Sky? Goose yellow? Official green? No, these are not attractive enough, Ye Xiaoman hopes that after Lu Jiaban wears the cloth she dyed, others will want the same color cloth.

Golden? Purple? Especially special, but guilty of the taboo of the heavenly family.

Vermilion? Generally, they will wear it when they are happy, and who usually wears it so dazzling.

Black? It seems a bit unlucky.

Red, orange, red, green, blue, purple, Ye Xiaoman thought about all the colors of the rainbow, but he was not satisfied.
