"Sister Aqing, have you eaten?"

Niu Yu asked with concern as he took her inside.

Of course I ate it.

Sheng Qingqing nodded and said, "I ate some noodles." Thinking that you and the second uncle might not have dinner today, I sent these sauces to serve the meal. ”

If she sent the noodles directly, then Second Uncle Niu and Niu Yu would definitely not be able to accept them. Two big men with hands and feet went to rub the food cooked by a little girl's family, not to mention that the Sheng family was still so poor.

But it's a different story when it comes to sauces.

Everyone in Shengjia Village pickles the sauce, and it can become a side dish on the dinner table before the end of the year. And it is not difficult to marinate this sauce, as long as it is marinated, it is a big vat, like this small dish in Sheng Qingqing's hand, it is not a waste of money.

Sheng Qingqing also said with a smile: "Freshly pickled, it's not a rare thing, but it tastes pretty good, give it to the second uncle and Brother Xiaoyu to try it." ”

Niu Yu raised his head and glanced at the bowl, and found that it was indeed sauce, and it looked no different from ordinary sauce, so it should not be worth any money, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

"Hehe, it's better to be Sister Aqing, I'm thinking that my father's craftsmanship is too poor, I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry at night."

This sauce Sheng Qingqing made is also very careful, whether it is meat or other materials, it is cut like fine, and then boiled, mixed with bean paste and other seasonings, it has long been difficult to describe. In addition, there was no light in the house, and under the dim light, Niu Yu did not find that the worthless "gadgets" he thought were sky-high prices for the poor people.

Not to mention the others, the chili powder added to it, half a month ago, Sheng Qingqing was in the spice shop in the town in exchange for four taels of silver. And that only took a few rubs.

But in today's sauce, even Sheng Qingqing himself can't count how many spices have been added. If calculated according to the price of this era, this small bowl of sauce is probably comparable to the same amount of gold.

But for Sheng Qingqing, this is nothing. Because the space is very magical, it retains the back kitchen of a five-star hotel, and the ingredients and seasonings in it are enough to use. And even if it is consumed later, the large field outside the kitchen is still full of all kinds of plants.

Sheng Qingqing had time to take a closer look before, not to mention peppers, even some rare plants were planted a lot. And the plants in the space don't need to be taken care of by herself, and they can grow well, so as long as you are careful, don't "fish with all your might", and say that you can't use it until you can't use it all the time.

It's a long story, but in reality, this kind of thought only flashed in Sheng Qingqing's mind, and when she came back to her senses, she had already arrived in the kitchen of the Niu family.

"Brother Xiaoyu...... What are you going to do at night? Looking at the scene in front of him, the expression on Sheng Qingqing's face was really indescribable.

The Niu family is richer than most of the families in the village, and the kitchen is much more "luxurious" in comparison. At least there is no tattered appearance of the Sheng family, the stove is neat, and the two stoves are also tall and neat, without the slightest sign of breakage. At least now, from the outside, that's what it looks like.

Sheng Qingqing sniffed the increasingly thick smell of burnt paste in the air, and didn't know what expression to make.

She couldn't speak, but Niu Yu was not polite.

Naturally, he also smelled the smell of the kitchen, and he was angry at the moment. Niu's kitchen was quite large, and he took two quick steps back to the stove behind the stove, and sure enough, he saw his father stuffing firewood into the stove.

"Dad, what are you cooking?!"

Second Uncle Niu slowly stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, glanced at Niu Yu, and then said, "Cooking, don't you little rabbit want to eat?" ”

Is this the taste of rice?!

Niu Yu couldn't say anything.

Sheng Qingqing's face was strange, and she was embarrassed to speak. But I still can't help but think in my heart, is Second Uncle Niu really cooking? But the smell of this question is not like the fragrance of rice, but more like ...... Inferior leather has been burned for a long time. If the inside of the pot is really rice, and the rice that should be fragrant can be burned to this taste, then Second Uncle Niu is really a capable person.

Second Uncle Niu clapped his hands and stood up from the small wooden bench.

"Didn't you say there was no food, so my father added some vegetables to it and steamed it together, saving firewood." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out. And when I walked, I saw Sheng Qingqing standing at the door.

Sheng Qingqing smiled dryly, "Second uncle." ”

"The girl is here?" Second Uncle Niu was stunned and a little surprised. He thought the same as Niu Yu thought before, why did he come at noon and come again in the evening. Although the relationship between the two families was very close before, it was not close to this extent.

Sheng Qingqing was suddenly even more embarrassed. Originally, she should have said what she said to Niu Yu just now to explain, but now that she smells the magical smell in the kitchen, she is a little speechless, if Uncle Niu thinks she is mocking, how can it be good?

Niu Yu followed behind Second Uncle Niu, he didn't have any worries, and when he heard Second Uncle Niu's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, explained to him, and said, "Sister Aqing is worried that our grandfather won't be able to eat at night, so she specially sent sauce for us to eat." ”

"Sauce, huh? Qing girl really knows everything. Second Uncle Niu ignored his son's yin and yang strange words, looked at Sheng Qingqing and exclaimed.

I have eaten several bowls of fish soup made by Sheng Qingqing at noon, whether it is Second Uncle Niu or Niu Yu, they have already believed that Sheng Qingqing has good cooking skills, and at this time, she naturally will not doubt the taste of the bowl of sauce in her hand.

Thinking of the taste of the bowl of fish soup at noon, Second Uncle Niu couldn't help but rub his hands.

As for cooking, he really doesn't have that talent, and the food he makes is hard to eat. If it weren't for Niu Yu, a stinky boy, if he didn't cook dinner, they would both starve to death, and he wouldn't be able to cook if he was killed. At this time, he naturally smelled the strange smell coming from the kitchen pot. But in order to maintain his face as Lao Tzu, he plans to hold on in front of Niu Yu no matter what, even if the food he makes tastes weird, he has to let Niu Yu eat it one bite at a time.

But it's different with sauces!

He is not a person who has a numb tongue and does not argue with taste, so he can naturally tell whether something is good or not.

A good sauce, even if it's just a little bit, is enough to go with a whole bowl of rice. If there is a choice, Second Uncle Niu will naturally not choose those strange-tasting things that he makes.

As long as a little white rice is enough, cooking is not good, but cooking is basic, and Uncle Niu is still very confident.

As for those in the pot that have already been made......

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, let Niu Yu, a strong young man, eat it!

Niu Yu didn't know that his father had sold him in his heart, and at this time, Mei Zizi pointed at Sheng Qingqing, very proud, and said: "That's, although Sister Aqing doesn't like to talk, she is beautiful and smart, it's perfect." ”

Second Uncle Niu gave him a look and asked coldly: "That's also the ability of the young girl, what are you proud of." ”

"Sister Aqing, but my sister, what do you say I'm proud of?!" Niu Yu was very unconvinced.

Second Uncle Niu sneered, "That's also your sister's ability." You stinky boy has no long body, and I can't count on you. In the future, if you can marry a capable daughter-in-law like your Aqing sister, Lao Tzu will die without regrets. ”

Niu Yu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to talk about his marriage.

This matter is also a distressing thing for him, and for Second Uncle Niu, he is not too old now, although he also has a longing for the beautiful little girl, but he wants to hang out for a few more years before getting married. Otherwise, once you marry a daughter-in-law, it is delusional to want to be at home all year round and work outside like now. And become a parent, no matter how much money you make, you have to save money and save well, because at that time, there was a delicate little lady at home to support, and you can't let your daughter-in-law sleep in the open......

In short, no matter how you think about it, it's just two words - "trouble"!

Therefore, Niu Yu is very resistant to marrying a daughter-in-law. But the parents at home are more enthusiastic about this matter than one another, and the second uncle Niu doesn't say it, but the second aunt Niu is the most concerned. This time, Aunt Niu returned to her parents' house, one was to visit relatives, and the other was also for her son's marriage. Although Niu Yu didn't know what the specific situation was, it wouldn't be a good thing for him after all.

"W-Why is this coming to me again!" Niu Yu was afraid that if he continued, it would attract chatter again, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The sauce sent by Sister Aqing is fragrant, Dad, come and taste it." ”

How could Second Uncle Niu not know Niu Yu's thoughts, but because Sheng Qingqing was still there, it was not good to lose his face too much in front of Niu Yu's "sister", so he only sneered at Niu Yu twice.

Seeing that Niu Yu was covered in white sweat from these two laughs, Second Uncle Niu turned his head and smiled: "Come in, let you see the joke." ”

Sheng Qingqing laughed dryly, she had been embarrassed to interject just now, and she could only say at this time: "No, no, the relationship between the second uncle and Brother Xiaoyu is really good." ”

From an adult's point of view, of course she knew that Niu Yu did not have any feelings for her, and Aunt Niu and Uncle Niu did not mean to treat her as a candidate for daughter-in-law. So Sheng Qingqing was very self-aware and didn't bring it in, not to mention that in such an era, she really had no interest in having a blind marriage with a strange man, if she was like this, she would rather be alone for a lifetime.

But it's really a bit embarrassing to do this, especially in this backward era, and women's honors are also very important......

"Ahem......"

In the end, Sheng Qingqing just coughed dryly and didn't say anything. She stepped into the house, handed the small bowl of sauce in her hand to Second Uncle Niu, and then said, "Second Uncle, this is what I just made, you can taste it and see how it tastes." ”
