Chapter Twenty-Four: Temporary Shelter
The next day, Wen Wen woke up early in the morning and was distressed, what should I do for breakfast? If she makes fish fillet porridge again, she may not be able to please her, she doesn't know whether Zhao Yan likes sweet or salty, think about it, come on, don't have a headache, make a little bit of everything and present it, and eat whatever she likes. But there is no refrigerator this year, there are not many fresh ingredients in the kitchen, they are all durable dry goods, and Wen Wen has to run out, tell the little guy who specializes in buying vegetables about the ingredients he needs, and tell him to send them to the yard of the three girls in a while.
When the ingredients were delivered, Wen Rou first boiled white porridge, fried meat floss, fried fried fritters, and kneaded the powder. As soon as the ingredients were delivered, she immediately peeled the shrimp and chopped the filling, rolled the skin and wrapped the dumplings, and waited until a small cage of five shrimp dumplings was steamed, and she heard the door of Zhao Yan's house "squeak" was opened, Shulan, who was on duty last night, yawned and came out to wash her face for Zhao Yan, she quickly poured the goat's milk into a clean pot and boiled, and put a little almond to remove the fishy flesh, and then squeezed out the juice of the fresh ginger, and fried two poached eggs by the way.
She now knows that in ancient times, cows could not be killed by the way, and basically did not want to eat beef, not to mention that there were no dairy cows here that specialized in milk production, and naturally there was no milk to sell, if you wanted to drink milk, there was only goat's milk.
Zhao Yan didn't have a long time to comb, and when she went in early, Shulan was inserting a little emerald hairpin into her combed bun, she looked at the bronze mirror, turned her face, and saw that the food had been placed on the table, except for a few small dishes with porridge that were common, she hadn't eaten a few other things, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are these?" ”
"This is crispy pork floss, which is very good with white porridge, this is fried dough sticks, which is also served with porridge, this cage is crystal shrimp dumplings, and this bowl is ginger juice and milk." Gentle smile said: "I just came, I don't know what the girl likes to eat, I made one or two things salty and sweet, and there is soy milk left in the kitchen, I don't know if the girl wants to drink sweet or salty milk?" ”
"Salty...... Salty......" Zhao Yan said uncertainly, muttering in his heart, he has only drunk light soy milk and sweet soy milk, this salty, can you drink it?
Salted soy milk! Simple! Anyway, seaweed, mustard, shrimp skin, chopped green onion are all available, and of course, fried dough sticks are indispensable! Gentle response immediately rushed back to the pantry like a gust of wind, and Su Yu brought a bowl of salted soy milk with sesame oil up, in fact, if it was herself, she would be willing to put chili oil in it, but unfortunately there is no chili pepper in this place, and many dishes can't be made.
Zhao Yan may have slept well last night, she seemed to be in a good mood in the morning, with curiosity, taste a little bit of this plate, taste a little bit of that bowl, and finally ate a lot, it seems that salty food is especially for her appetite, a cage of five crystal shrimp dumplings, she ate four, the crispy meat floss also went to half a plate, salted soybean milk and white porridge drank a bowl each, and when she was full, she herself was startled, surprised how her appetite was very good today, so she stood up a little shyly, and said: "I'll go out for a walk, you can eat too." ”
Gently exhaled, I felt that although Zhao Yan was born in a big family, she was not picky about eating, what she made was the breakfast that the people in the market often ate in the world where she lived before, which was considered cheap food, Zhao Yan actually ate with relish, it seems that she has come to the right place this time, as long as Zhao Yan likes to eat what she makes, she must always give a few good faces, so that she doesn't have to be so frightened in the future!
"By the way, you can steam some crystal shrimp dumplings later, and I'll bring them to the old lady when I say goodbye." Zhao Yan walked to the door, turned around and asked gentlely, and then said to Shulan in a blink of an eye: "You go to the kitchen outside and say that you don't have to send me food in the future, just send the daily servings over." ”
"Yes." Wen Rou and Shulan agreed in unison, and seeing that Zhao Yan didn't need anyone to accompany them, they called Yaqin and went down to eat together.
Hearing that Zhao Yan asked him to make more shrimp dumplings, he was gentle and kept an eye on it, steamed a total of two cages, steamed three more in one cage, and finally secretly left six, and let Yaqin and Shulan take the two cages, and went with Zhao Yan to ask for peace.
The crystal shrimp dumplings that were stolen were for Xiaohuan, this girl really loved to eat, but she was full of food, and she barely stuffed three crystal shrimp dumplings into her stomach, so she yelled and said, regretting that she shouldn't have eaten so much this morning.
"These three, I'll bring them to my mother to eat!" Xiaohuan smiled quietly, and asked gently, "How is the third girl treating you?" ”
"It's okay, I didn't do anything wrong anyway." Gentle now doesn't have to do anything to chop wood, fetch water and wash dishes, naturally there is a rough maid ring to clean up, she helps Xiaohuan to water the flowers and trees, while chatting with Xiaohuan, the days seem to have become leisurely all of a sudden.
The two were talking, and suddenly there was a rough maid outside the courtyard who was probing her brain, and when she saw Gentleness, she called out to her: "Sister Ruhua, your mother has come to see you." ”
Yes! I almost forgot about this stubble! Gently patted his forehead, agreed, returned to the hut where he lived, took out all the money he earned from selling bean halva, and then hurried to the west corner door to see the mother of the flower.
"Is my brother better?" As soon as Wen Wen entered Mrs. Cai's house, she saw that only the woman was sitting alone in it, so she asked straight to the point.
"It's not good, it's not worse, but the appetite is better." The look on the woman's face was much calmer than when she saw her for the first time, probably for her, her son's condition did not deteriorate, and there was hope for good, but she was a little uneasy after all, and asked softly again: "Are you really sure that this method can make Gang'er better?" These two **** made a lot of good things for him to make up for his body, and the money was spent like running water......"
"It's better than asking a doctor to take medicine." Gently interrupted her, shoved the money into the woman's hand, told her to put it away, and then asked, "How long is this money enough for the family?" ”
"Save a little, about ten days." The woman looked at the money in her hand and seemed to be full of emotion, and her eyes began to turn red again.
Ten days! It's about the same as I estimated. In order to make this money, she has been restless in the past two days, so it's easy to earn it, and the speed of spending money is faster than making money! According to this calculation, she has to earn at least five or six yuan a month in order to take care of the redemption and support of her family, which is too difficult in the current situation!
Seeing the embarrassed look on her gentle face, the woman wiped her tears again, held her hand tightly and said: "Mother knows that you are embarrassed, and it will be only for a few months, when your brother is well, my mother will go to do more pulp washing and sewing work, and then you will be able to supplement the family with a few dollars a month." ”
"No way!" Shake your head gently.
The woman was so startled that she forgot to cry and quickly raised her eyes to look at her.
"I mean, where is the money enough to subsidize the family every month?" Wen Wen hurriedly comforted her and said: "Anyway, you have to make up for two hangings of money, otherwise you are reluctant to eat and wear, and you and your brother's bodies will be burned, won't the gains outweigh the losses!" ”
"It's just that it's hard for you, wow--my mother really can't stand you, let you be a girl's family, and suffer like this......" As soon as the woman heard this, sorrow came from it, and she couldn't help but hug the tenderness anymore and cried bitterly.
"No, no, I've worked hard for a while, and I'll be fine in the future......" Gentle was busy comforting the woman, but as soon as she finished speaking, she thought to herself, why did she think that what this woman said was a little unpleasant? When I thought about it again, I was even more nondescript, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What is this? Could it be that this woman really wants to be crooked!
