In the end, Hua Qingyan still followed Hu Baizhi to Hu's house. Surrounded by three mountains, the village is quite large in the col. The Hua family is in the north near the entrance of the village, while the Hu family is at the foot of the mountain in the east, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk from the west mountain.

Along the way, Hu Baizhi was giving Hua Qingyan science to the people they were passing by, the Wang family at the end of the village was a widow, and she was often bullied by Hua Panpan, but the Wang family was kind and kind, and she had a good hand in embroidery, so you can find the Wang family to make clothes if necessary. There is also a family surnamed Dong at the end of the village, which is also pitiful, and he separated from his parents early, not so much to separate the family as to leave the house. The two of them lived with a thin daughter, but in recent years, the family has become a seller, and they are also diligent, so their lives are not bad...... There are several daughters-in-law at the entrance of the village who are very good with Hua Panpan, often chewing the root of their tongue under the big willow tree in the village, and talking nonsense, and they are well-informed in the village.

This old man Hua and Hua Panpan live together, and they are also quite close to the other two sons, so the three families are not far away. When Hu Baizhi mentioned the rest of the Hua family, she couldn't help but purse her mouth, with a look of disdain, "The Hua family is not a good person, the eldest brother of Hua Panpan, don't look at the sanctimonious appearance, in fact, he has a bad stomach, he is still a child, and he will definitely not be able to pass the Xiucai exam for the rest of his life!" The second brother of Hua Panpan is an open-eyed man, and he is a good gambler, he is very violent, and he beats his daughter-in-law! After speaking, Hu Baizhi looked dazzled, and her eyes were full of sympathy.

Hua Qingyan didn't expect that the Hua family was all practicing this kind of virtue, but it also made her more determined to get rid of the Hua family. But after listening to it for a long time, why didn't I hear Hu Baizhi mention the general father of the original owner. "Hua Panpan has no other brothers? For example, out of the village for a long time? ”

Hu Baizhi thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't know about this, you can ask my father." ”

While speaking, the two of them have walked to the door of the Hu family, there is a lot of land in this era, almost every household has a yard, the courtyard of the Hu family is also quite large, the half-high blue brick courtyard wall is full of green creepers, and some vine flowers, Hua Qingyan recognized, there are a lot of medicinal materials. The door of the courtyard was open, and before I even entered, I could smell the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

The courtyard of the Hu family is quite elegant, the neatly placed shelves on the right are drying all kinds of prepared medicinal materials, and the left is a grape shelf, and there are stone tables and stone chairs under the shelves, and the yard is also dotted with colorful flowering plants.

This yard is not at all dirty with the rust of a country house. Hua Qingyan couldn't help but think, this Hu Langzhong is afraid that it is not simple.

"Let's go, let's go in." Hu Baizhi dragged Hua Qingyan into the courtyard, where a woman was standing arranging medicinal herbs. Hua Qingyan saw Hu Baizhi happily running over and hugging the woman's arm, with a coquettish face, "Mother, I picked a lot of medicinal herbs today, can you make me balls and eat them!" By the way, I also met a new friend, it was Hua Qingyan who just came to our village, she was beautiful, Huaxi couldn't compare to her at all! Saying that, he beckoned to Hua Qingyan, who was still standing at the door, "Qingyan, come on, this is my mother, my mother's cooking is delicious!" ”

Mrs. Hu looked at Hua Qingyan and saw that although the girl was thin and weak, her face was also dark yellow, she was wearing gray clothes with patches, and her body was still dirty, but her facial features were delicate and soft that she had never seen before, and Hua Xi was afraid that she couldn't even compare to this girl's finger. Looking at Hua Qingyan's cramped face, she couldn't help but smile, "Come in, our old Hu has always mentioned you in the past two days, and today has satisfied my curiosity." Sure enough, it's a girl with Zhong Lingyuxiu. She looked at the small bamboo basket full of flowers behind Hua Qingyan, and said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, there are still some at home, if you don't dislike it, eat it with Bai Zhi." ”

At this moment, Hua Qingyan didn't know what to say, it wasn't to promise, it wasn't to refuse, and sure enough, she didn't have a problem with this kind of person who was too enthusiastic. Just when Hua Qingyan was entangled, Hu Baizhi had already explained her intention to Mrs. Hu over there. Mrs. Hu is a smart person, so she naturally understands Hua Qingyan's situation, and agreed without saying a word, she wanted to say that it would be good to use her own things, but Mrs. Hu was clever, and she didn't mention Hua Qingyan's restraint when she saw it, but she just planned to help her secretly.

When she was standing in the kitchen of the Hu family, Hua Qingyan came back to her senses, thinking about the mother and daughter who had made the decision for her, she couldn't help but shake her head, in fact, this is quite good.

The Hu family's family background seems to be quite good, the people are also tidy, and the kitchen is very clean. Two stove holes, one of which has a kettle on it and is boiling water. There is a porcelain vase with seasonings on the board on the side, Hua Qingyan looked over one by one, salt, sugar, pepper, chili powder, green onion, ginger and garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, watercress, and shrimp powder and spices. It seems that this big qi is not too backward in terms of eating. However, Hua Qingyan didn't know that the seasoning in the ordinary people's kitchen was only one-third, and it would cost a lot of silver to have such a complete set of ingredients as the Hu family.

Hua Qingyan looked at her harvest in the morning, and planned to make a pot of mushroom soup with various mushrooms, and then stir-fried the cauliflower. As for the fungus, it is good to give it to the Hu family as a thank you gift, but I don't know if this thank you gift is too simple, and the Hu family will accept it.

Because she used to cook for her grandparents and grandmothers, Hua Qingyan's hands and feet were very nimble, and when Hu Langzhong came back, the mushroom soup had already been kept warm on the other stove. As soon as Hu Langzhong entered the courtyard door, he smelled a strong fresh fragrance, and thought that his daughter-in-law was cooking, but when he saw it, Mrs. Hu was standing at the kitchen door and looking inside. Hu Langzhong walked over and saw Hua Qingyan busy in his kitchen. Hu Langzhong raised his eyebrows, and he didn't care why this girl was at his house, but just asked, "What kind of delicious food is this girl?" It smells so good! ”
