Chapter 46: A thief

Bai Zhi got off the ox cart and went directly to Mrs. Chen's house, since she was driven out, Xia Xueniang had nothing to do except go to the mountains to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables.

Mrs. Chen is old, and it is already difficult to do these jobs, and Xia Xueniang loves to think about things whenever she is free, so she will help Mrs. Chen with her work at this time, and she will not say anything.

"Mother, Grandma Chen, don't be busy, you're busy in the afternoon."

Mrs. Chen's land is not far from home, and before Bai Zhi arrived at Mrs. Chen's house, she saw two people in the field, and when the two saw Bai Zhi coming back, they stopped what they were doing and came back from work.

"Sanya, what are you buying so much meat for?"

As soon as Mrs. Chen arrived home, she saw the meat that Bai Zhi was carrying, and she immediately became anxious.

These days, Bai Zhidan will give her a lot of rice whenever she buys, and she will also buy some meat from time to time, saying that there is nothing to do there, and she can't put it when she does, so it's not safe, but they won't come after a meal, and they won't take the rest away.

Now that Xia Xueniang is still here to help her work, she is very unhappy in her heart.

Who knows, Bai Zhi bought meat again today, and after buying so much, she must not be able to eat it all.

"Grandma Chen, my mother is weak, I need to eat more to make up, I'm growing now, how can I just eat, I won't grow taller by then."

Bai Zhi looked at Mrs. Chen with a smile and said.

Although it is a reassuring word of Mrs. Chen, it is actually a fact.

She is growing tall now, she was malnourished before, and now if she doesn't make up for it, she can only be a dwarf for the rest of her life.

As soon as she thought of this, Bai Zhi felt that it was not good to pierce her heart.

Besides, Xia Xueniang's body is also very weak, and if she doesn't keep up with her nutrition, she won't know what kind of illness she will do in the future.

"But no, Granny Chen, don't talk about it, we have a lot of trouble for you here."

Xia Xueniang walked in from behind, with a smile on her face.

"You two ......"

Mrs. Chen listened to their mother and daughter singing and harmonizing, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and took the hoe in Xia Xueniang's hand.

These days, life has been a lot better, Xia Xueniang has also grown a little meat, she doesn't want to be so skinny and skinny before, and her face is a lot better.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this.

Seeing Bai Zhi like this, Xia Xueniang couldn't help but reach out and touch her face: "Zhi'er, what's wrong, what are you looking at me doing, what's on my face?"

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped his face.

Bai Zhi shook her head when she saw this, and said with a smile: "No, I found out that my mother seems to have become beautiful."

As soon as Bai Zhi's words were finished, Xia Xueniang couldn't help but be stunned, but when Mrs. Chen on the side heard this, she put the hoe in her hand aside, and said with a smile while moving.

"No, you must know that your mother was beautiful when she came back with your father, just like a young lady from a big family."

"Granny Chen, don't laugh at me, I'm still a young lady from a big family."

Xia Xueniang heard Mrs. Chen say this, and pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly.

Seeing this on the side, Bai Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when she thought of the good hand that Xia Xueniang wrote before.

It seems that her identity as a cheap lady is not simple???

After thinking about it, Mrs. Chen had already opened the courtyard door, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but shake her head, no matter what her identity was, her mother couldn't change it.

Thinking like this, he went into the door with the meat and went straight to the kitchen.

Mrs. Chen's life is very hard, this season, whether it is vegetables or grain, when there is no harvest, at this time, the kitchen is still in the kitchen from the edge of the field, the wild vegetables picked from the mountains.

Bai Zhi was originally going to make braised pork with fatty meat, but after seeing this wild vegetable, his heart suddenly changed his mind.

He put the meat in his hand in the basin and walked out.

"Mother, Grandma Chen, let's eat dumplings at noon."

"Eat whatever you say." Xia Xueniang and Mrs. Chen were washing their faces in the courtyard, and after hearing Bai Zhi's words, they said without raising their heads.

Bai Zhi's craftsmanship, Xia Xueniang and Mrs. Chen have all seen it, but as long as she is there, they don't have a share in cooking.

"Then I have to trouble my mother and Grandma Chen to go to the mountains and pick some bamboo shoots and come back."

Wild vegetable dumplings, and then stewed bamboo shoot soup, thinking about Bai Zhi makes her saliva come out.

Mrs. Chen had also eaten bamboo shoots early, and she was not surprised to hear that Bai Zhi wanted bamboo shoots, so the two wiped their faces and went to the mountain.

As soon as the two left, Bai Zhi went to the kitchen to work.

Originally, Bai Zhi didn't want to eat dumplings, so when she bought meat, she didn't buy three fresh meats, and in the end, she had to use half of the fat meat and half of the lean meat to chop the filling.

Bai Zhi's knife skills can already be said to be superb, and the knife in Mrs. Chen's house was also sharpened by Bai Zhi before.

After a while, the minced meat was chopped.

Then wash and chop the wild vegetables, go to the vegetable field next to it, pinch off the few shallots in the field, wash them in the kitchen, leave the tips of the green onions, and chop the rest into the meat filling with the wild vegetables.

Originally, an egg should be added to it, so that the meat filling would be more tender, but Mrs. Chen did not have eggs at home, so Bai Zhi had to give up and add salt and minced ginger.

After adjusting the meat filling, start to mix the noodles.

After Bai Zhi's noodles were reconciled, Xia Xueniang and Mrs. Chen also came back with bamboo shoots.

The two skillfully peeled off the bamboo shoot shell, Bai Zhi put the peeled bamboo shoot into the water to remove the astringency, and at the same time boiled the fat and meat skin left over from the previous chopping meat filling, as well as the bones, and then cut it into small diced meat, put it in the pot and fry, when the oil was almost fried, put in the pepper, ginger and other big ingredients, and then put the bamboo shoots in, and when the fire boiled, turn to low heat and simmer.

When Bai Zhi was busy in the kitchen, Xia Xueniang and Mrs. Chen were breading dumplings outside, and when Bai Zhi was almost busy, the two of them had already made a lot of dumplings.

"Grandma Chen, don't go to the field in the afternoon, go to the mountains to pick bamboo shoots, and send them to the town tomorrow, the restaurant will accept this."

Bai Zhi sat in front of the two, holding chopsticks, and said while wrapping dumplings.

Bamboo shoots are not the same as catching snakes, catching snakes Mrs. Chen is old, she definitely can't do this, bamboo shoots are different, there is no danger, tomorrow they will go to the town together, and let the shopkeeper collect it when the time comes.

In this way, Mrs. Chen can also have one more entry.

Mrs. Chen was making dumplings, and when she heard Bai Zhi's words, she was stunned.

"Three, Sanya, what are you talking about? The town is going to collect bamboo shoots??? ”

Mrs. Chen was so excited that she almost didn't hold the dumplings in her hand steadily, looked at Bai Zhi, and asked in disbelief.

The village has been catching snakes these days, and Mrs. Chen also knows that they are all things in the mountains, and she doesn't want to buy and sell money, so she is naturally excited.

But she also knows that at her age, she can't earn this money.

But bamboo shoots are different, bamboo shoots just take a little effort, if the town collects it, she can also add an entry, which makes her not excited,

Bai Zhi called her like this, and nodded hurriedly: "Of course it's true, I can't lie to you, pick it back in the afternoon, and we will go to the town together tomorrow to hand it in, this bamboo shoot has a day, and the work in the field will be slow, anyway, the bamboo shoot grows slowly, and you can't pick it every day."

"Well, I see, I'll go in the afternoon and get more."

Hearing Bai Zhi say this at this time, Mrs. Chen still didn't believe it, and nodded hurriedly.

"Granny Chen, I'll go with you in the afternoon to help you."

"I don't want your help, you go in the afternoon, we have to separate, I can't take advantage of you anymore, it's not easy for you."

When Mrs. Chen heard that Xia Xueniang was also going, she hurriedly said,

Originally, Xia Xueniang was going to help, but when she said this, she had to smile and nodded, thinking that it would be good to make more money like this.

After the dumplings were wrapped, the soup was almost stewed, Bai Zhi took the dumplings to the kitchen, put them in the pot, served the soup, put in the green onions, and the fragrance suddenly floated out.

"Mother, Grandma Chen, the dumplings are ready, you can start."

Bai Zhi shouted in the kitchen, Xia Xueniang and Mrs. Chen entered the kitchen and brought the dumplings to the table.

With the fragrant broth, as well as crisp fresh bamboo shoots, accompanied by the fragrance of green onions, floating to the nasal cavity, the dumplings with thin skin and large fillings are white, and looking at it makes people swallow saliva subconsciously.

"Sanya's cooking skills are really good, if anyone marries her in the future, it will be really blessed."

Mrs. Chen, looking at the dumplings in the bowl, the fragrance wafting out, if the dumplings weren't too hot, she couldn't wait to move the chopsticks now.

She has never eaten such dumplings.

Bai Zhi, who was originally serving dumplings in the kitchen, paused with her colander hand after hearing Mrs. Chen's words, and her whole person was a little bad.

But after Xia Xueniang listened to Mrs. Chen's words, she thought it was true: "That's not it, speaking of which, Zhi'er is not young now."

"Mother..."

Seeing that the words of the two became more and more wrong, Bai Zhi put the dumplings in two and two and walked out.

"I'm still young, my father just left, and I'm still in the filial piety period at this time."

It was a lifelong event, Bai Zhi couldn't care about Xia Xueniang's mood, and hurriedly spoke, Xia Xueniang, who was still talking to Mrs. Chen, was stunned when she heard Bai Zhi's words, and then smiled bitterly.

"Yes, if Dingzhu hadn't left...... said, Xia Xueniang couldn't go on, and Mrs. Chen saw this and hurriedly spoke.

"Alas, hurry up and eat it, this dumpling can be eaten."

gave Mrs. Chen such a beat, Xia Xueniang also took chopsticks and ate it, Bai Zhi pursed her lips and did not make a sound.

After lunch, Mrs. Chen washed the dishes and chopsticks and went to the back mountain, Xia Xueniang also followed, Bai Zhi was fine at this time, and followed the two up the mountain, came down in the afternoon, picked a lot, and in the afternoon the mother and daughter went back from the mountain, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the original quilt, and after passing, Xia Xueniang's face suddenly turned white.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi went to the kitchen with a calm face, and the small half bag of rice that was originally placed in the kitchen was gone
