Chapter 65: The Laughter of the Peasant Daughter

The teenage girls are all simple peasant daughters, and they are very easy to get acquainted with. After saying a few words, I listened to the chatter and fight in the yard, and the crisp laughter continued, and Zheng Changhe, who could hear the pig manure shoveling in the pig pen, also laughed happily Finally, a girl came to play with his chrysanthemums!

Meizi looked at the face towel of the chrysanthemum while taking the insole; "Chrysanthemum, you look good with your face covered like this. I have to make a face towel to cover my house. Woohoo! Why don't you change the color to a bright one? With a pink one, it definitely looks good. ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but laugh, what is this? It must not be called "East Shi Xiao Feng", it should be called "Xi Shi Xiao Dong".

She smiled and said to Meizi; "I was afraid of scaring the little baby, so I covered my face; You have such a good-looking face, and you are still covered, isn't that a waste of this face? ”

The girls all burst out laughing.

When they saw that Chrysanthemum was not at all uncomfortable when she talked about her ugly face, they were extremely happy, and they were relieved and no longer carefully checked their words. Therefore, the little girl's nature was gradually revealed, and she spoke freely.

Meizi smiled to herself, she said; "I see you're so weird and good-looking. Are you right? She asked the other three instead.

The unpretentious basket replied honestly; "I think so."

Li Jinxiang "belched" and said; "When you say that, I also think the same as Meizi, and when I go home, I make a face towel and cover it. Little sister, you also make one, so that I don't have to be alone and the face is covered and people look at me and say that I am strange; We're all like this, but no one is going to talk about it? ”

Several people looked at each other, thinking about the scene when the female children in the village were all covered with their faces, and couldn't help laughing.

Chrysanthemum can't help but feel funny - does this count as trend-setting?

Liu Xiaomei said with a smile; "If you want me to say, don't be blinded in the village, and the old man will say it when he sees it. When we went out, we wore this face scarf, and it really worked. Isn't it not allowed to show your face? ”

The basket turned white, and the girl said; "You really want to go out like this, I'm afraid it's even more recruiting!"

Everyone laughed even harder.

Chrysanthemum chatted with them for a few words, then got up and said; "Come on, I'll teach you how to make acorn tofu. By the way, give me a hand, and leave my house for dinner at noon! ”

Meizi happily agreed, and she was not polite. While lifting the two small jars, he said to Chrysanthemum; "Chrysanthemum, I'll take some pickled ginger and chili flakes to you. My grandmother pickled it, you can taste it. Chrysanthemum took it busily.

Liu Xiaomei liked it in her heart, but she felt unsteady, she said with a red face; "It's not good! You're so busy, and we're so blind, and we're running to annoy you. ”

Meizi glared at her and said; "You're polite to you. Chrysanthemum is busy, there are so many of us, don't you know how to help her? Chrysanthemums can cook. My mother asked me to learn more from Chrysanthemum to make tea and rice.

If you get married in the future, you can also please your in-laws, even if you like men. ”

She was fast-talking, and accidentally said all the words, and only after she finished saying did she feel that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and stared at everyone with wide eyes, blushing with shame.

Several girls were stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter. Liu Xiaomei bent over with laughter and coughed!

Chrysanthemum looked at the scheming plum and couldn't help but smile. I thought that such a successful mother could raise such a splendid girl without a city!

Seeing that everyone was smiling crookedly, Meizi put down her hand angrily and said stupidly; "Laugh, laugh! I don't think you need to get married. There's nothing that can't be said. When you get married, how can you be at ease in your mother's house. Can't you learn more things to save people from disliking? My mother said, the head is the same, the tea and rice should be good; The second needle and thread should also be good. If it's a lazy woman, no one likes it! ”

When everyone saw her serious, they didn't laugh anymore. Besides, isn't that the reason? How can the mother-in-law's family be at ease, if it is not good to do things, it will be laughed at.

The basket said; "Meizi is right! I'm fine with needlework, but not at home. "The shoes she made are sturdy and good-looking, and everyone praises them, and Chrysanthemum also praised her just now.

Meizi found her companion and hurriedly pulled her and said; "Isn't it, I burned a pot of acorn tofu yesterday. It caused my grandmother to scold me for wasting food. said that from the time the acorn was picked up to the time it was ground into flour and made into tofu, it was soaked, dried and bleached, and it had to be tossed for a long time. Chrysanthemum, you have to teach me sincerely, and I'll help you make a few more pairs of insoles. ”

At present, everyone knows that although this acorn can be eaten, it is not cheap to get, and it is also very cherished.

Chrysanthemum smiled and nodded—Meizi had given her several pairs of insoles, both of which were embroidered with beautiful flowers, so that she was reluctant to put them in her shoes.

Let a few people into the kitchen, and the kitchen immediately seems to be crowded and lively.

After preparing the pots and cans and waiting for the guys, Chrysanthemum took two catties of acorn flour, explained while operating, and instructed them to make this acorn tofu.

She made it with a small amount of flour first, and then asked the plums and the others to try it.

It seems that everyone's culinary talent is different. Chrysanthemum stared at them, but the plum still burned the acorn paste until the bottom of the pot knotted; The basket is better, but it's also a rush; Li Jinxiang is much more skilled, she looked at the chrysanthemum and made it, and then operated it with her hands and feet, and she knew at a glance that she was a good cook; The most stunned thing is Liu Xiaomei, who is so old, but she is extremely slippery, and her skillful appearance makes people suspect that she has learned from Chrysanthemum before.

Meizi said with a bitter face, pulling the tail of the big braid; "Ouch! I'm not convinced! Why are they all better than me? ”

Chrysanthemum looked at the board full of pots and casseroles and other guys, and comforted her; "I'll teach you back and do it a few times. It's not going to be done today, there's no guy to pretend. You can take some of this tofu alone, and it will save my mother from sending it to your house at that time. ”

Meizi had no choice but to give up. She stared at Liu Xiaomei again and asked; "Little sister, why do you do this?"

Li Jinxiang said with a smile; "You should be like you at home, take the insoles when you are free, and at most help your mother wash the vegetables and cook a meal. My little sister has to cook a big family every day! ”

Meizi said unwillingly; "From tomorrow, I will also learn how to stir-fry. I don't want to be a lazy woman. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled at her; "It's a long time, and you don't get married tomorrow. Come, help me pick and wash the vegetables, let's cook! ”

Everyone laughed again.

So, a few people went to the vegetable garden to cut vegetables, then squatted by the well to clean, and then went back to the kitchen to cook. One side is busy, and the other side is gossiping. Chrysanthemum listened with relish. She hadn't heard of these village parents before, but she had learned a lot about Qingnan Village.

For example, the basket said that her cousin liked the stunned Zhao Dazui very much, and she fell in love with it at a glance. The people in her family don't want a bride price, and they will marry after the two families get some money together next year to buy some belongings.

Liu Xiaomei also said that her second brother said a kiss, and the other party asked for a bride price of five taels of silver. Although it wasn't much, her family couldn't take it out, and she couldn't bear the daughter of that family, so she could only borrow five taels of silver and send it away.

It made her mother sigh all day long! Fortunately, I was happy to hear that this acorn fruit could feed pigs. Now she is waiting for next year to catch two more pigs and feed them to pay off her debts and help her brother marry a daughter-in-law.

However, they all avoided Liu'er's marriage in unison.

Sun Liuer will get married at the end of the year. But these girls have no other feelings than curiosity. The concubines of big families are too far away from them! Whether Sun Liu'er was like her mother said, enjoying happiness or jumping into the fire pit, they couldn't imagine. But Liu'er is so reluctant, or makes them sympathetic, who wants to marry someone they don't like?

Meizi also said that in a few days, her family will boil sugar to make peanut crisp, and then she will come to call chrysanthemums to see the excitement and taste new ones by the way; Li Jinxiang said that her family was going to kill pigs in two days, and invited Chrysanthemum to drink pig-killing soup.

Chrysanthemum listened to these words of life, looked at a few girls who were laughing constantly, burning the fire, cutting vegetables, and Meizi was standing on the side, holding a bowl and handing a scoop or something—she just cut vegetables, Liu Xiaomei said that she cut the radish like a brick, grabbed the knife, and didn't let her cut it again.

She listened with a smile, and her subordinates didn't stop, and she cooked a few good dishes with vigor and invited a group of rural guests to dinner!

After making so many acorn tofu, it is natural to burn some at noon to taste them. However, chrysanthemums are generally roasted in the afternoon to go into the water, and at the moment there is no ready-made pig water except for the pig's head stewed in the cauldron.

Chrysanthemum took a pickled pork belly, washed it and stuffed it under the pig's head in the cauldron, while letting the basket that helped make the fire add fire to the cauldron. She used a knife to cut the pig's face, dismantled some of the pig's face, and fished out some pig's trotters, which she set aside to dry.

She boiled the tender white radish in a small pot with water for a while, removing the spicy taste, and then served it in a casserole; Then cut the fat part of the pig's face into slices, spread it on top of the radish, scooped some soup from the cauldron and poured it in, and then put the casserole on the charcoal stove and stewed.

Braise the pig's trotters with ginger, soy sauce, spicy seeds and vinegar until they turn a bright red color, and finally sprinkle some green onions and serve in a casserole.

After the chrysanthemums were burned, they took four pairs of chopsticks and asked them to taste them.

Meizi looked greedily at the red, fragrant steaming pig's trotters, picked up a piece, and dipped a few green onions on it, stuffed it into her petal-like lips, and took a bite, so hot that she turned in a circle, causing everyone to laugh.

Liu Xiaomei is so young that she can't wait, so she is busy picking up a large piece and gnawing it. took a bite, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his small mouth kept moving, looking extremely satisfied; The basket and the golden incense were no longer reserved, and they started one after another.

Chrysanthemum was afraid that they would gnaw it off, so she hurriedly took four bowls for them to continue. After a while, after eating, the sound of admiration and laughter sounded. Anyway, there is no one else in the kitchen at this time, and a few little girls don't feel restrained when they laugh and talk. （。
