Chapter 24: Waiting for Food
"Miss, what's the matter?" As soon as Zhen Shiniang entered the door, the magpie saw a bruise on her chin, "The general made it?" ”
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt at all." Zhen Siniang pushed her hand away and smiled indifferently.
Seeing that it was really Shen Zhongchi, the magpie looked resentful, "It's really a good person, he never dared to touch Miss before!" ”
In the past, in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, when her young lady was powerful, Shen Zhongqi avoided their master and servant, and it was her young lady who pestered him and bullied him every day, but now it's good, her young lady is gentle and demure, and he bullied him.
Zhen Siniang didn't know what the magpie meant, she just thought that when Shen Zhongqi liked the original owner of this body, she was naturally pampered by her, and she was reluctant to hit it, so she sighed faintly, "The feelings are gone, no matter how beautiful a woman is, you will become a grass." Thinking of the roe deer meat in the courtyard, he smiled lightly, "Brother Zhang next door just gave away most of the roe deer, and Brother Wen and Brother Wu are not sure how to be happy." While picking up the kitchen knife and walking out, "I'll cut a piece of elbow meat, stir-fry a plate first, and let's eat roe deer meat pie at night, I haven't smelled meat for almost a month, and everyone is hungry." He also instructed Qiu Ju, who looked dazed and didn't know what was going on, "Go to the backyard and find a big pot to soak the roe deer meat." ”
The roe deer meat should be soaked in water for an hour or two, and when the blood is soaked in water, it will be marinated with salt again, and the dried meat will be delicious.
"Miss......" the magpie grabbed her.
Zhen Siniang turned her head.
His lips moved, and the magpie finally said, "...... Slaves and maids, go and mow them. ”
Seeing that she didn't dwell on the fact that she was bullied by Shen Zhongchi, Zhen Siniang nodded, "That's right, there is still some fennel stuffing left, I'll make two more cakes with some noodles." Zhang Zhi was given a few pies, and Zhen Shi Niang was worried that breakfast would not be enough.
Since the conversation between her and Zhang Zhi was heard by Shen Zhongqi, I believe he must have seen that he gave him a pie, if the breakfast is really not enough, it is difficult to say that he will not use the topic to play and damage her a few words.
Even after five years, her memory of his poisonous tongue is still fresh in her memory.
Although she really wanted to starve him to death, but, after living for two lifetimes, Zhen Siniang still understands the truth that small arms can't twist thighs, other people's forces are stronger than you, you have to avoid it, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
The difference between cloud and mud, she and him have a hard encounter, and there is only one way to die.
Ordinary breakfast is pickles, green porridge and dry food, today because Shen Zhongchi's master and servant are there, Zhen Siniang added an extra coral lotus root slice, a stir-fried roe deer meat, the meal was quickly ready, first put it and asked Qiu Ju to send it to Jian Wu Jianwen to the backyard, Zhen Siniang entered the house to greet Rongsheng and called Shen Zhongqi to eat.
Rongsheng went out for a big turn, and came back to ask Zhen Shi Niang, "...... The general went out early in the morning and didn't tell the grandmother where he was going? ”
"No ......" Zhen Siniang was in a good mood for a while, and said secretly, "He'd better go directly." ”
"Breakfast is useless, where will the general go?" Rongsheng looked at Zhen Shi Niang and muttered.
The eldest grandmother's cooking skills are so good, his general will never leave without breakfast.
As he was talking, the second girl of Yu Liang's family came to Qiu Ju to pick mushrooms.
It is the season to collect mountain goods, and the ordinary Qiu Ju is to get up early in the morning to get firewood first, and then go to pick mushrooms and pick mountain vegetables after breakfast.
"You eat first, I'll wait for the general." Zhen Shi Niang thought about it.
Everyone did a lot of work early in the morning, especially Qiu Ju, who took a trip to firewood, and was not idle after coming back, he must have been so hungry that he was so hungry that he stuck to his back, and there was still a bunch of work waiting for him after eating, but everyone was waiting for the most idle person to come back to eat.
What a wicked old society!
scolded angrily in her heart, Zhen Siniang turned her head and went to the kitchen to prepare for everyone's meal.
"Let's let Qiu Ju rest for a day." The magpie grabbed Zhen Shi Niang, "Miss, wait a little longer." "Rongsheng is still here, since Shen Zhongqi didn't say to leave, he will definitely be able to come back to eat.
Born in Shangshufu, Magpie knows best the strictness of this system of respect and inferiority. The master didn't eat, and the slave couldn't eat first even if he starved to death.
She was worried that Shen Zhongqi would be unhappy when she came back, and it was Zhen Shi Niang who suffered.
"There are ......few wild vegetables picked this year" Looking at the good weather outside, Qiu Ju was a little reluctant, and before she finished speaking, she hurriedly changed her words to the eyes handed over by the magpie, "I'll go to fetch firewood in the afternoon." Through the window, he shouted to the second girl who was waiting outside the courtyard gate, "I haven't eaten yet, you go first, I won't go today!" Seeing that Erya was gone, Qiu Ju turned around and found that the people in the room looked strange, so she blurted out, "...... When the sun came out, the slaves and maidservants went to dry the dried vegetables. With that, he ran out like a fly.
The dew is heavy at night and there is fear of rain, so the semi-dried vegetables dried during the day must be brought back to the house at night, and then taken out to continue drying after the sun comes out the next day.
"I'm going to peel off the lotus pod that Changhe just beats." At the insistence of the magpie, Zhen Shi Niang didn't hire many people in the end, Li Changhe was responsible for beating the lotus peng, and everyone peeled it together, including Jian Wu Jianwen was not idle, and the two little guys could even play with the peel a day and a half adults.
Seeing that the two of them went to work without eating, Zhen Shi Niang sighed and looked up at Rongsheng, "Rongsheng will sit down for a while, and I'll go cut out those turnips." "It's too late, and you won't be able to get out of the sun until the sun goes down.
Everyone went to work in the blink of an eye, and Rongsheng didn't feel comfortable getting up, so he followed out in a daze, and saw Qiu Ju carrying a curtain of mushrooms to climb up the ladder, and the tiger jumped, "Come down quickly, how can a girl climb so high?" ”
"I crawl every day." Qiu Ju didn't reply, and skillfully spread the half-dried mushrooms on the curtain on the rubble of the roof, and then turned around and jumped off the ladder briskly.
"You do this every day?" Rongsheng asked curiously.
"If it doesn't rain, it's sunburning." Qiu Ju turned around and went to serve other dried vegetables.
"I'll help you!" Labor is the most glorious, in this family of only three women, Rong Sheng felt for the first time that it was a shameful thing to eat without working, so he rushed up the ladder, turned around and asked Qiu Ju to hand him vegetables, and continued to ask, "What are you doing with so many vegetables?" ”
"Eat it in winter." Qiu Ju looked at Rong Sheng suspiciously, "Don't you eat this in winter?" Suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, how can the General's Mansion eat this?" The tone was sour, and seeing that Rongsheng poured the dried vegetables into a pile, he hurriedly reminded, "...... You can't do this, you have to spread the vegetables evenly like me, otherwise you won't be able to dry it thoroughly! "If you don't catch the sun, once it rains, you have to waste firewood to bake it, and if you don't make a good noise, it will become moldy.
Standing high and looking far away, Rong Sheng finished making dried vegetables, and when he turned around, he found that a row of shelves on the east side of the courtyard was still empty, so he asked, "There are so many shelves, why do you put the vegetables on the roof." "It's a waste of effort.
This job seems simple, but the ladder under his feet is loose, and Rongsheng is worried about whether he can lift his body of more than 100 catties, and whether he will be smashed into a meat patty.
After only a moment of hard work, he was sweating, which was much more tiring than practicing his fists and feet.
"Those shelves will be dried later, and Miss is cutting them, and she can cut all the shelves in the morning." Thinking of the roe deer meat, Qiu Ju said again, "Today, I not only have to dry radish strips, but also dried meat." ”
Thinking that there would be meat and vegetables to eat for a while, Qiu Ju's face was full of joy.
