Chapter Seventy-Two: You Will Take What You Give
Du Jinxi nodded vigorously, they will be a family in the future, she will try not to let herself become a drag on her brother and sister-in-law, and she will also bring up the baby, there is no Meng Xingwang who will never be satisfied, the days are bright all of a sudden, the sky is high and blue, the wind is light and soft, and there is finally a hope ahead.
There are two more people in the Du family, and the lunch at noon is even more lively, the two-year-old Meng Yuanbin has never seen so much delicious food, his black and white eyes are almost unsightly, and his little nose is like a little hamster that Zuo Ranjia has seen, very cute.
"I specially gave Binbin noodles and steamed a bowl of egg custard, he is too young, so he still eats less heavy oil and salt." Zuo Ranjia put the hand-rolled dough sprinkled with a layer of green cabbage hat in front of Meng Yuanbin, and put a bowl of yellow, tender and fragrant egg custard.
Meng Yuanbin's eyes were fixed on the egg custard, and his little hands pulled the corners of his mother's clothes, he wanted to eat but was afraid of causing trouble.
Du Jinxi glanced at the food on the table, several younger siblings were eating green onion cakes rolled with cabbage, chives, fresh spicy sauce and fried chicken, chopsticks kept holding the vegetables, and their eyes did not glance at the egg custard and white noodles.
"Jinxi, they are not rare egg custard and hand-rolled noodles now, you can eat what your sister-in-law makes for you, if the conditions at home do not allow it, will your sister-in-law be so stupid to only care about a few meals in front of you? There is no shortage of food for the two of you at home, hurry up and eat, and see the children's hungry stomachs growl. Zuo Ranjia stuffed the chopsticks into Du Jinxi's hand, smiled and continued to instruct: "Don't be reluctant to eat meat, they eat some meat to grow tall, but they can't eat it tightly." Sister-in-law can make it according to the amount of a few of us, you can eat it with confidence. Sister-in-law Bao raised the two of you as white and pleasing as these three. ”
Du Jinxi responded with a little choked up, feeding Meng Yuanbin while eating, I don't know if the food is delicious, or if she hasn't tasted meat for too long, she actually thinks it's the best in the world. Meng Yuanbin opened his mouth vigorously like a little pig, so that Du Jinxi couldn't stop it.
Zuo Ranjia didn't prepare too much rice and egg custard for the little guy, but he came with eighty or ninety percent full, for fear of holding him up at one time.
After eating, Du Xuyuan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks as usual, Du Xuqing rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to wash, while Du Jinxi stepped on the stool and wiped the table seriously with a rag in his hand.
Du Jinxi couldn't intervene, and hugged Meng Yuanbin, who was a little sleepy, "Sister-in-law, I, I can't be idle, can you see if there is anything that needs to be washed?" The New Year is coming soon, and taking advantage of the good weather in the past two days, the sheets and clothes can be washed again. ”
"No, these are all new," Zuo Ranjia took out a new quilt and quilt cover from the cabinet and handed it to Du Jinxi, knowing that Du Jinxi really didn't want to be an idler: "You two build this first." Don't you know how to weave? I'll have someone bring you looms and dyes and stuff, and weave some beautiful coarse cloth when you're fine. Foreigners are very rare in China's coarse cloth, I will help you pull the strings, so that you can earn pocket money. ”
Du Jinxi hugged the quilt with some surprise and stumbled and asked, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, do you mean, I, can I continue to weave cloth and sell it for money?" How is it possible, every household can weave cloth, and besides, weaving cloth is very expensive for cotton, we don't have so much. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, the cost will be deducted when they settle for you. Well, the neater the cloth you weave than other people's, the more comfortable and atmospheric the pattern and color matching, the more wages you get. Anyway, if you can, my sister-in-law will pick it up for you. ”
"Sister-in-law, you can help me talk to someone, this job is easy and doesn't hurt my hands and eyes, not to mention that I like to do it very much." Du Jinxi nodded and said.
Zuo Ranjia responded, and she was temporarily looking for a pastime for Du Jinxi. Du Jinxi is only twenty-two years old, she helped take care of the children at home after graduating from primary school, and I heard that she had good grades at that time, and she was double hundred every year. If she spends her whole life on cheap coolies, Zuo Ranjia is not worth it for her.
It's better to wait for the New Year, Du Jinxi has the same income as the Liu family, and then she mentions learning and academic qualifications.
Well, Zuo Ranjia felt that she was bullying everyone who was caught off guard by the resumption of the college entrance examination in 77 years, the questions of that session were simple, and the people who took the exam did not have enough time to review, and there were no complete sets of systematic books, such a big advantage was not seized, and he really had a lifetime of memory in vain!
If you want her to say, the Chinese people only pay attention to the form of the exam, and the teachers are also accustomed to cramming teaching, and the students they have cultivated are the best machines to cope with the exams, and they have to learn from scratch after 70% of the students in the society work. For her and the high-tech intelligent robots of the future, who have memories of the next few decades, she still believes that she will not be able to train college students who should slip away for seven or seven years.
Of course, she just knows it in her own heart, but she can't leak half a trace of Du Jinxi and the Liu family.
Zuo Ranjia sat directly at the table and took out a pen and paper, asked Du Jinxi what he needed, wrote it down neatly, and dried the ink to let Du Xuqing send it to the friendship store.
But think about the group of wicked people last night, who knows if they left or not, whether they will hide somewhere and wait for the black hand! She simply put the note in her pocket, opened the door to go to the toilet, and walked around the alley for a few minutes, and when she came back, she said that she had asked someone to help her carry the letter, and estimated that they would be able to prepare the things before dinner.
Du Jinxi was slightly excited, feeling that he had a new job, could support himself and Meng Yuanbin, and didn't have to drag down his brother and sister-in-law, maybe he could subsidize his younger brothers and sisters.
Zuo Ranjia watched her keep holding the baby in the room, and simply pulled her to sit down, watching her turn around and rummage from the cabinet in a white-washed jacket full of neat patches. Zuo Ranjia bought two sets of clothes from the inside out of the mall, including two sets of modal cotton underwear, two sets of plastic corsets without steel rings, and two sets of cotton warmth. The pants are a small straight leg pants in black and khaki, a burgundy crewneck sweater, a dark green V-neck cashmere sweater, an army green and cotton casual jacket, and a camel knee-length double-faced tweed coat.
She thought about it and bought a set of mild toiletries, plus two bottles of horse oil, and piled them up in front of Du Jinxi: "This is the clothes I asked someone to buy for me before, and I haven't put them on yet, I see that the two of us are about the same size, you wear them first, and I'll ask someone to buy them for me when I go back." I had Binbin's clothes delivered to me in the afternoon. ”
"I don't need my sister-in-law, I don't go out again, it's a waste to wear such good clothes. Or are you dressed well," Du Jinxi's head shook into a rattle, and her sister-in-law could allow them to stay at home and let them eat well, where could she be cheeky enough to ask for clothes.
"I said to keep it, this is a New Year's gift from your brother and sister-in-law to you and Binbin.
You are only twenty-two years old, it is the best time in life, don't divorce and lose hope for the future, and you are not allowed to learn from the older generation of the stupid idea of widowhood and archway. When we meet the right person, we try to live, and if we don't meet them, we have to live our lives well.
This is horse oil, you wash your hands and face and wipe it more, you can freeze and get rid of it. This is a facial cleanser, which is much better than soap, and this is a lotion, lotion, and cream. It was all brought from abroad by my sister in the friendship store, but we don't have it in China. Zuo Ranjia patiently explained how to use these things, Du Jinxi cleaned herself up, she looked pleasing to the eye, didn't she?
Du Jinxi didn't know what to say, so he could only keep in mind the good of his brother and sister-in-law all the time, and slowly repay them in the future.
Meng Yuanbin had already fallen asleep, and Du Jinxi carried him back to the house.
Zuo Ranjia closed the door and entered the studio again, but she didn't expect that the banquet she had made before had been sold. She blinked her eyes and looked at the 100,000 star coins to be collected, and sighed that although people with skills spent a lot of time, energy, physical and mental power in the early stage, the feedback in the later stage was gratifying.
But at this time, she didn't feel much gratitude to the original owner, in fact, she preferred to live a pure life, even if it was harder, it belonged to herself.
She spit on herself slightly, disliking others while taking it for granted that she inherited the superb skills inherited from the original owner.
I'm afraid that she loves and hates the original owner, although she doesn't admit that there is an element of love.
Zuo Ranjia clicked to collect, deducting the material fee and 10% of the profit to the system, she made a net income of 85,000 yuan! Then wouldn't she be able to make seven more tables like this to be able to make up for the cost of the operation?
Zuo Ranjia was a little dizzy, she was thinking about taking the high-end route, but at most she thought that it would be good to be able to net a few thousand yuan for a table, where did she think that the plane buyers were so supportive, and even the outrageous table she marked was quickly shot!
If people can support the scene, she can't be too pretentious, Zuo Ranjia squinted her eyes, and while moving her muscles and bones, she checked the mall, which was very complete, and there were all kinds of things from ancient times to the present, and she was able to gather the ingredients for the full banquet of the Manchurian Dynasty.
Zuo Ranjia thought, the original owner's wishes are a lot, she also thought about making a set of Manchu and Han full seats, but one is that after one or two hundred years of collapse and reorganization of the national system, as well as foreign invasion and civil strife, it has been simplified and simplified, and it can be worthy of the name, and the dish is not the original for a long time. Second, many ingredients are not available for a while, so this idea has been shelved again and again.
The last time she went to the scrap yard, she picked up a lot of recipes, including many dishes from the imperial dining room handed down from her ancestors! There is not only a book that records in detail the names and specific methods of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, but also many medicinal foods for the emperor and court concubines in the court, which are very high in terms of collection value and practical value.
Hehe, the thief's system must be in mind!
Zuo Ranjia is ready to practice the dishes of this Manchu and Han full banquet, because she wants to practice, so she will make it in the form of a flowing water seat, and prepare a good one and put it on the store for exhibition, and when all the dishes are done, they will be combined into a set of Manchu and Han full seats, and the practice will be sold cheaply, and the last few copies will be auctioned off by bidding.
