Chapter 21: The Past

Back to the West House, the rich family in Longxi has a family and a stove girl to follow, and there is a kitchen at home, so there is no need to worry about Sister Yue'er, as for the two Jianghuai scholars, Sister Li Yue told them that they would let Mo Yi come to help them boil some hot water every day, and it would be nothing to do with those who run errands on weekdays. (.la marshmallow)

Taking care of everything, Sister Li Yue came out of the house, and saw that her second uncle had invited a few helpers to build a wall there, and the second aunt was pouring tea and handing snacks on the side, and she was very busy, which was very unpleasant.

"Sister Yue, why did you make your grandma angry, come here, go and say a few soft words to your grandma, and this wall may not be built." On the one hand, Aunt Li saw Sister Li Yue come out, so she said to Sister Li Yue, in fact, she was happy to see this wall in her heart, she used to look down on a few poor ghosts on the West Side of the West House, but now, the West House has rented outsiders, there is no wall to block, after all, the two yards are connected, for fear of attracting gossip to her own Jin Feng'er.

Feng'er has provoked enough gossip during this time.

It's just that although she thinks so in her heart, this wall is not something that can be built or not by her, after all, as soon as this wall is built, the relationship between the two families is really isolated, not to mention that the boss is still cold, so she won't let the townspeople drown in the spit.

But now, it is Mrs. Li who is the master, when she says this today, a few helpers will listen to it, and it will spread in the town in the future, and the people in the town will talk about Mrs. Li at most, but they can't talk about her, then she has face.

Sister Li Yue naturally heard that her second aunt was talking in a glossy manner, so she didn't move or reply at this time, she couldn't be soft with her grandmother, she just stared at the wall brick by brick.

"This girl, I don't know who this character looks like? What's there to screw with your own grandma...... It's so ignorant. Fang didn't get a response from Sister Li Yue, so he sank his face and muttered.

Those helpers couldn't help but look at Sister Li Yue.

Recently, the daughter of the Li family has been a topic of conversation in the town, first the marriage between Sister Li Yue and the eldest young master of the Zhou family, and then Li Laohan and Uncle Zhou made a blog, and the marriage was canceled, and then it was rumored that Li Jinfeng called the young master Zhou to collide, one by one, scene by scene, adding a lot of excitement to the town.

"Okay, it's getting late, you go cook a few dishes, a whole pot of wine, and I'll have a drink with a few big brothers in a while." On the one hand, Li Zhongda crossed his own mother-in-law, can the contradictions in the family be said in front of outsiders? He understands his mother's temperament very thoroughly, don't look at this moment, his mother seems to be a hundred people who don't want to see this big girl, but if there is any gossip outside, with his mother's short temperament, he will not give people good fruit to eat.

"Okay, I'll go, and in a while, a few big brothers will have a good drink with my family." Fang Shi answered, greeted the idlers with a smile again, and then turned around and entered the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law Li politely ......" Several helpers also replied, and then threw bricks and bricks, and built walls and walls, and after a while, the wall in the middle of the courtyard of the east and west houses was built high, blocking Sister Li Yue's sight.

Sister Li Yue only felt that her heart was lost for a while.

At this time, Mo Yi grabbed a blanket tightly in his hand, and his face was a little red with excitement.

"Eldest sister, silver." At this time, Mo Yi trotted to Sister Li Yue's side, and stuffed the blanket into Sister Li Yue's hand, this is the rent of the two lifters and the rich family, and I found the general armor of the town as a guarantee before, and I paid it all in one go.

Mo Yi usually collects firewood and sells firewood, and his income in and out is only a few dozen yuan, how can he have seen so much silver at once, even when Daddy was alive, he had never seen it with his own eyes, at this moment, the silver was held in his hand, as if he held a red-hot soldering iron. Hurriedly threw it to his eldest sister.

With the silver in her hand, Sister Li Yue's frustrated mood improved a lot, and she checked the weight, well, she will be able to pay off the debt tomorrow, Aunt Yao has five taels, the coffin shop has one or two and a half dollars, the medicine hall has two taels and two dollars, and then there are five taels of silver promised to grandma, get rid of these, there are still more than thirty taels, this is a lot of money, and you can do a lot of things.

Sister Li Yue silently calculated in her heart that with this money, she could make some small deals.

In her previous life, she was placed under house arrest in the backyard by the Zhou family, and the Zhou family did not support the people who ate and did not work, so she was doing a lot of chores in the backyard, although she was very tired, but she also learned a lot of things, especially later, the backyard of the Zhou family took in an old woman who was nearly eighty years old, surnamed Tian, although she was nearly eighty years old, her eyes were not dazzled or deaf, especially the craftsmanship of the white jade tofu was amazing.

To make tofu, the countrymen, there is no way to do it, but the quality of the tofu made is average, old, it is a little rough in the mouth, and there is a fishy smell of bean skin, so when people burn tofu, they have to use boiling water first, and then cook, so that it is delicious, but Tian Pozi's white jade tofu is not like this, smooth and tender like the mutton fat white jade, not only does not have the fishy smell of the bean skin, but also has a fragrance of fruit, especially the tofu brain that has just come out, without mixing any seasoning, it is smooth and delicate when eating, Especially the scent, smelling it can make people's mouths.

Sister Li Yue plans to use this silver to start a business and open a white jade tofu factory, which may be slow to make money, but it is a long-term livelihood.

In her previous life, one of her main jobs in the backyard was to help Mrs. Tian make tofu, the old woman was very good to her, took pity on her situation, and even passed on the skills of making white jade tofu to her, the original plan was that if the Zhou family could let Sister Li Yue out, then Sister Li Yue could also make a living with this skill, but as a result, there was no chance in the previous life, but there was a chance in this life.

Sister Li Yue couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth.

And this white jade tofu is actually no different from other tofu preparation methods, the only difference is the salt brine, white jade tofu in the usual salt brine to add a berry fermentation broth. And this kind of berry is found in the valley of the mountain behind Lingshui Temple, in her previous life, Sister Li Yue heard what Mrs. Tian said.

It just so happens that my family now lives in the thatched hut, not far from the Lingshui Temple, and I went to look for that kind of berry during this time, and I heard the old woman say that the fruit of this berry hangs for a long time, as long as it is not pecked by a bird, it has been hanging in the spring.

"Sister, it's getting dark, let's go back." On the other hand, Mo Yi urged.

"Well, go back." Sister Li Yue replied, looked at the sky, it was already twilight, and then said hello to the old housekeeper beside the rich man, and said goodbye to Yu and Yang, saying that Moyi would come to take care of him every day in the future.

Everyone is fine.

Then Sister Li Yue took Mo Yi out of the West House, and saw her grandfather sitting on the stone slab in the door of the two rooms weaving a bamboo basket.

"Grandpa, it's getting dark, rest, be careful of chicken eyes." Sister Li Yue said hello.

"Hey, I'll rest when I'm done with this." Li Laohan said.

At this time, Sister Li Yue thought about the five taels of silver she had promised Grandma before, so she took out a silver ingot of five taels from her blanket and handed it to Li Laohan: "Grandpa, you can give this to Grandma, Grandma promised to help us collect it before." ”

"Okay, leave it to Grandpa." Li Laohan took the silver and said to Sister Li Yue: "Your grandmother has that temper, don't take it to heart, it will be fine after a while." ”

"Hmm." Sister Li Yue nodded, but she was not so optimistic in her heart. finally asked unwillingly: "Grandpa, why does Grandma want to do this, there must be a reason." ”

Li Laohan listened to Sister Li Yue's question, finally put down the work in his hand, looked up at the snow that had not yet melted in the green mountains in the distance, and took two puffs of cigarette before saying: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that your grandma is prejudiced against the scholar, your grandma has a little cousin who has a good relationship, and finally called a scholar to cheat and suffered a big loss, so your grandma holds a grudge." ”

It turns out that there is such a thing, I haven't heard Daddy say it before, Sister Li Yue nodded, although it is not very clear to hear what Grandpa said, but it is generally clear, this kind of private matter involving elders, Grandpa can't tell himself too clearly, Sister Li Yue thought, finally no longer confused, and with her own grandma's grudge character, it is not strange to react like this now.

It's just that for her own grandma, Sister Li Yue is still powerless and helpless!! Even so, you can't give up eating because of choking, you still have to live life, do you?
