When Qi Zhen returned home, the three members of the Lian family were all gathered in Lian Su's room, because they had taken medicine in recent days, and the food was much better than before, and Lian Su's thin face was a little fatter.

After putting the porcelain vases and jars in the house, Qi Hao went into the house, carrying a bowl of water in her hand, because she was very thirsty, she went down with a bowl of water.

After she drank the water, she wiped her mouth with a bold movement, took out the piece of osmanthus candy, put it on the table and smashed it, and slammed it at Lian Zhongqi Nunu.

"Taste it, my mother went to Beijing to buy osmanthus candy."

Lian Zhongqi has grown so big, and he has eaten osmanthus candy only a handful of times, although Lian Jun was a teacher before, but the family did not have a lot of money, so naturally he would not pamper these children too much in terms of eating.

So as soon as he heard the word osmanthus candy, Lian Zhongqi was so young that his saliva was about to flow out, and he walked directly in front of Qin Zhuo with his short legs, begging for candy to eat.

However, Lian Boyuan frowned, his little face revealed a bit of seriousness, took Lian Zhongqi's hand, and said:

"What are you doing this for?"

Qi Zhen is not a good person, the reason why she did her best to the three people of the Lian family is nothing more than because she owed them in her previous life, and she wants to make amends in this life.

But whoever is kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs many times, I'm afraid my heart will not be happy.

Qi Zhen had a cold face, wrapped the candy wrapper, and sneered:

"Don't eat it, it's as if your Lian family has something worth my coveting."

After speaking, Qi Hao stood up directly and left from Lian Su's room with osmanthus candy.

Looking at the woman's back, Lian Su's eyes flashed, and he lay on the bed, thoughtful.

"Sugar! Zhongqi wants to eat osmanthus candy. ”

Lian Zhongqi was still young, and when he saw the osmanthus candy in front of the Zhuo family, he flew with wings, and there were two bubbles of tears in his eyes.

Looking at the appearance of the little nephew, Lian Su, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke:

"Boyuan, you let go of Zhong Qi."

Lian Boyuan turned his head suddenly, looked at Lian Su in disbelief, stretched out his hand and pointed out the door, his eyes were red, and said:

"Uncle, what if that woman makes a bad move? She almost killed you before! ”

Lian Su really didn't think that Qi Hao was a good thing, and he wouldn't forget what that woman did before.

However, Zhong Qi is still a child, and Lian Su is unwilling to wronged Zhong Qi, so he said so.

"As the Qi family said, our Lian family doesn't have anything to covet now, let Zhong Qi pass, it will be fine."

Although Lian Su is only seventeen years old, he is the oldest man in the entire Lian family, and Lian Boyuan can't afford to disobey his uncle's words, so he can only nod sullenly.

Seeing that his uncle agreed, Lian Zhongqi stopped his tears, rushed out of the room directly, and went to Qi Zhen's room, first shouting tentatively:

"Mother."

As soon as she saw Lian Zhongqi, Qi Zhen only felt that her whole heart was about to melt, she beckoned to the child, and when the person walked in front of her, she found that Lian Zhongqi was drooling at the osmanthus candy on the table, and she was about to grab it.

Qi Zhen touched Lian Zhongqi's head, watching him grab the osmanthus candy directly, with tears in his eyes, and now he puffs out his cheeks, and he looks a little cute, but he is still too thin.

She picked up a piece of osmanthus candy and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste of osmanthus candy diffuses in the mouth, and it is a feeling that has never been felt before.

Qi Zhen was not very interested in osmanthus candy, and after she ate a piece, she put it all on the table.

Because Lian Zhongqi is still young, he can't eat too much osmanthus candy, otherwise his teeth may be damaged.

Putting away the osmanthus candy, Qi Zhen nodded the tip of Uncle Lian Qi's nose, and said with a serious face:

"Zhong Qi, you can only eat one piece of osmanthus candy every day, otherwise there will be insects that will bite your teeth out!"

Qi Zhen made a gesture to scare Lian Zhongqi, but this little doll was also a bold person, and when she heard this, she was not only not afraid, but even giggled.

Lian Boyuan and Lian Zhongqi were in the same room, and after Qi Zhen watched Lian Zhongqi rinse his mouth, he sent the child back.

Fu returned to his room, Qi Hao was now about to fall into the eyes of money, and her eyes were full of thinking about how to make money.

Putting the money bag on the bed, Qi Hao looked at the scattered silver and copper plates, and her heart was finally more steady, she earned almost two taels of silver today.

Dawan Village is a poor place, many people have never seen so much money, and it is also thanks to its proximity to the capital that Qi Zhen can earn so much money.

In this way, she can now improve the food for her family, and save the day to drink sweet potato porridge, and with a salt-roasted green vegetable, it is really tasteless.

Besides, Lian Su's body is too weak, and buying a fish stew can also replenish his body.

Turning these thoughts in her heart, Qi Zhen smiled snickeringly with the money in her hands, and a deep dimple was revealed on her cheeks when she smiled, with the beauty of a twenty-eight girl.

Carefully put away the silver and hid it under the bed, Qi Zhen fetched water again, and carefully wiped the sweat on his body, only to feel tired, so he fell asleep.

Waiting for the next day, Qi Zhen planned to knock down all the osmanthus flowers on the tree, otherwise if it rained after a while, these osmanthus flowers would be ruined.

Picking up a bamboo pole, Qi Zhen gently knocked on the branches of the tree, the bamboo pole hit the branches of the osmanthus tree, the osmanthus fell down, the sky was full of flowers and rain, and soaked in the rich sweet fragrance, the air in Dawan Village was very fresh, Qi Zhen took a deep breath, and only felt that he wanted to get drunk in this sweet fragrance.

Called Lian Zhongqi out, the two of them squatted on the ground together, picked up the scattered osmanthus flowers, put them on the dustpan made of rattan, and waited until they finished picking up the osmanthus flowers all over the ground, Qi Zhen washed away the dust on the osmanthus with cool well water, and then put it in a cool place to dry it directly, so that the flower oil in the osmanthus can be completely preserved, which can not only make the fragrance last, but also have the effect of beauty and emollient.

After cleaning up the osmanthus flowers, Qi Zhen took out the osmanthus candy from the room again, broke a small piece and put it in Lian Zhongqi's mouth, took another small piece, and said to him:

"It's for your brother."

Lian Zhongqi nodded, took a step away from his short legs, and rushed directly into the house of the two brothers, and stuffed the osmanthus candy into his brother's mouth.

The fragrance of osmanthus and the sweetness of honey made Lian Boyuan stunned for a moment, he was just an eight-year-old child, it was the time to be greedy, but because of his poor family, he couldn't even eat enough, so how could he dare to ask for these snacks?

Now that he has eaten osmanthus candy, he is naturally happy in his heart.

The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, and his impression of Qi Hao is a little better now.

Dawan Village is close to the water's edge, there are always many villagers who can catch fish, the carp in the river is very fat, the spines are not too many, the stewed time is long, the soup is milky white, drink the fish soup, the most nourishing skin.

Qi Hao touched the rough flesh on her hands, thinking about her dark cheeks, she directly took out thirty yuan and walked out.

Qi Zhen first went to the farmer's house in Dawan Village to kill pigs and bought pork belly, and bought five catties of meat.

Most people don't want such fat meat, so Qi Zhen bought five catties, and it only cost twenty yuan. After leaving the pig slaughterer, Qi Zhen walked to the river, and there happened to be an old man who caught a fish, this carp weighed two catties, and was pierced by the old man with a straw rope.

"Uncle, how did you sell this carp?"

The villagers of Dawan are simple, and the old man didn't ask for much of this two-pound carp, so he said directly:

"It's about the same for five cents."

Hearing this, Qi Hao hurriedly counted out five copper plates from the money bag and handed them to the old man.

Holding fish in one hand and meat in the other, these two things alone are a little uncommon in the farmhouse, and along the way, many people have seen Qi Hao, pointing and saying anything.

But Qi Hao didn't care about this, the reason why she bought five catties of fat pork in one go was naturally not just for eating, but for other purposes.

As soon as I walked back to Lian's house, I was probably frightened by Qi Hao, and the hens in the yard were clucking and crowing, flying up and down, looking very energetic.

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, Lian Boyuan hurriedly came out to take a look, as soon as he saw Qi Zhen, he couldn't help frowning, and he didn't know where the Qi family got so much money to buy back a lot of pork and a carp.

Qi Zhen didn't see Lian Boyuan's surprised eyes, and walked directly to the kitchen with his things.

She first put the carp in the basin, directly disemboweled, cleaned up the internal organs and fish scales, and then cut the carp directly into two sections, put it in the casserole, added green onion and ginger, cooking wine, salt and other seasonings, poured cool well water into the casserole, and covered the fish body.

Putting the casserole on the stove, Qi Zhen was not in a hurry to drink the fish soup, and kept simmering over low heat.

After washing her hands, she set up a pot on another stove, put the fatty pork belly on the cutting board, and cut off the lean meat and skin, leaving only the white fat and cut it into finger-wide pieces.

Five catties of meat is really a lot, and Qi Zhen specially picked the fattest piece of meat.

She took out a small half pot of fatty meat, put it in the pot, added warm water, the water just passed the lard, and then threw a few grains of ingredients into the pot, and when the lard was refined until the oil residue turned yellow, Qi Zhen hurriedly fished out the oil residue with a colander and scooped a few spoonfuls of sugar into the pot.

This method of refining lard was learned by Qi Zhen from the old eunuch in his previous life, and the lard refined was as white as snow, and when it cooled, it became like clotted fat, and if it was applied to the skin, it would make the rough skin gradually become very delicate and slippery.

Qi Hao looked at the fat in the pot and thought of the beauty of lard, her heart was beautiful, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

The smell of oil fills the kitchen.
