Chapter 5 The so-called dressing
A total of thirteen Mengtong, thirteen families have been accepted, Rui Xue refused to help with the cooking of Zhang's sister-in-law, and sent her home to be busy, after all, the women of the peasant family have a very heavy workload, feeding pigs and chickens, washing and cooking, and can't always trouble people.
She briefly counted the harvest in the morning, and collected a total of 80 catties of grain noodles, 10 catties of fine noodles, 15 catties of brown rice, plus half a jar of vegetable oil, 10 eggs, 1 catty of salt, 1 catty of soy sauce, a bunch of dried mushrooms, two coarse porcelain plates, and one clay pot.
Rui Xue has been gossiping with Sister-in-law Zhang every day, and she has also touched the price of goods in this time and space, and roughly estimated, the food sent by each family has exceeded the standard of 100 Wen, and even the vegetable oil and brown rice sent by Sister-in-law Zhang are worth more than 300 Wen, she knows that this is someone helping her, and she is grateful, and secretly notes it, thinking that she will repay it in the future.
Looking up at the sky outside is close to noon, I just got up in the morning to receive the old people, and then went up the mountain to chop wood, received many students and parents, unconsciously busy to this time, thinking that there is a person waiting to eat in the house, I hammered my sore waist, entered the stove, and began to brush the pot and burn the fire.
After scooping a small half pot of water and boiling, knock an egg in a bowl, slowly heat the water, stir into egg drops and put it aside, add half a bowl of brown rice to the pot, and bring to a boil over low heat.
Estimating that the rice porridge was almost cooked, I boiled the pot and added a wooden lattice, added a little salt, a pinch of chopped green onions, and half a spoon of vegetable oil to the bowl of frangipani, and then sat down in the pot to steam.
After less than half an hour, the faint smell of rice mixed with the fragrance of eggs filled the entire stove, Rui Xue couldn't help but smile on her face, brushed the clay pot neatly, put the rice porridge out, and then used a piece of washed cotton cloth to pad the bowl, and brought the egg custard into the house.
Zhao Fengnian was looking out the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, there was a complex expression of sadness and hatred on his face, Rui Xue was curious, and when he wanted to take a closer look, his hands were already so hot that he couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly put the egg custard on the table, pinched his ears with his fingers, and shouted, "Scald, scalded." ”
Zhao Fengnian couldn't see her so frizzy, so he frowned again, Rui Xue turned around and saw it, and somehow rushed and said, "What are you frowning about?" I'm hot and jumping, what's it for, not to serve you egg custard? ”
When Zhao Fengnian heard this, his brows furrowed more as if he could kill a fly, and he scolded loudly, "Has no one taught you three obedience and four virtues, a woman does not say that she acts utilitarianly, and she is still so frizzy, she has no women's virtues, and even her husband dares to shout one after another, who gave you the courage?" ”
In fact, Rui Xue's words just now, in her previous life, at most, even if she complained in a hard tone, she just said it casually, but she forgot that this is no longer the original world, the woman here follows her father at home, marries her husband, I am afraid that she is really a violation of heaven when she speaks like this, but her temperament does not like to admit defeat, and she wants her to immediately restrain her temper and apologize, and it is a little difficult to do, thinking about it and thinking, she only held back one sentence, "Let's eat." ”
Zhao Fengnian saw that she was not like other women, and immediately bowed down to make amends, but said such an inconsequential word, and immediately became even more annoyed, and said coldly, "Don't eat!" ”
Unfortunately, his stomach was not controlled by his will, and as soon as he finished speaking, he let out a very loud grunt, and his face suddenly turned red and black as if it had been boiled.
Rui Xue held back her laughter to death, pretended to be calm, took the egg custard that was no longer hot and put it next to the bed, and said, "Hurry up and eat." ”
Then he ran out, holding the osmanthus tree to lower his voice, laughing so much that he bent over, and when he had laughed enough, he sat down under the roots, looked up at the blue sky between the branches, and let out a long breath, and his chest was much lighter, as if all the depression that had accumulated there since he crossed over had been dissipated because of this laughter.
For the future, she suddenly has such a touch of expectation, no matter the days to come, whether she is rich or poor, at least she is still a cheap husband, her words are reckless, twice offended, it should be enough to give up and go out, but he is angry and angry, but he didn't even say a word of unpleasantness, it is obvious that he is a person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Zhao Fengnian in the house held his stomach with both hands, looking at the egg custard in front of him, as if fire was about to erupt from his nostrils, thinking that he was one of the four sons of the martial arts country, the famous daughter of the daughter, was so rude in front of a stupid woman, it was really embarrassing.
He had the heart to lift the pottery bowl to vent his hatred, but he was even more hungry by the fragrance, and somehow picked up the spoon and scooped the golden and delicate egg custard into his mouth, and was immediately conquered by the soft and fragrant taste, and the roaring stomach was quiet, and when he remembered the word "don't eat" just shouted, the pottery bowl was already empty, and even the edge of the bowl was scraped clean.
Rui Xue secretly stood by the door and saw him holding an empty bowl, panicked and wanted to hide, and laughed in her stomach.
This is her, Qin Ruixue's unique steamed egg custard, although the ingredients are simple, but it has been invincible for more than ten years, and no one can refuse.
At that time, my mother was sick in bed, short-tempered, and often lifted the table and refused to eat, but as soon as the egg custard came out, it would immediately ease down and eat the egg custard to the fullest, so that everyone who saw it was amazed.
The diet of this time and space is not as modern and exquisite, with her cooking boxes for her younger siblings for many years, taking care of her sick mother, and practicing her cooking skills, it is not a piece of cake to coax an ancient person to succumb to the stomach first.
Thinking of this, her right index finger and middle finger stood up, raised her eyebrows and said with a silent smile, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely raise your body to be fat, which can be regarded as a reward for you to protect me from being sold into slavery!
She turned around and walked lightly to the stove, drank two large bowls of porridge, sighed a few words, the rice grown without chemical fertilizer is fragrant, and then took a broom tied into broken branches to clean the yard, and pulled out the weeds in the vegetable field in the backyard, thinking that tomorrow I would find Sister-in-law Zhang to order cabbage seeds, and take advantage of the fact that the weather at the end of August has not yet cooled down, plant some autumn vegetables and save them, so that when winter comes, there will be no porridge and no vegetables on the table.
Raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, went into the stove to wash his hands and face, took the small half pot of brown rice porridge left at noon, added water to heat it, steamed a few slender eggplants in the pot, tore them into strips, mixed with fine salt and minced green onions, and sent them to the bedside in half, and the other half she sat in the yard, and slowly ate her stomach in the fiery red sunset.
When he entered the house to get the bowl, the porridge bowl and the vegetable bowl were at the bottom, but Mr. Zhao seemed to be asleep, and there was no movement.
She smiled slightly, took the bowl to wash, and quickly moistened the cloth towel, wiped her body with the light of the crescent moon outside, washed her feet, and then got up and went back to the house, took off her half-stretched cloth shoes, and was just about to go to bed, but the person in the bed suddenly got up, so frightened that she immediately jumped up, and exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhao Fengnian looked at the defense on her face that could be seen clearly even in the dark night, and was very angry, what did this woman eat to grow up, as if she was born with the ability to provoke him to scold at any time, but at this time, his lower abdomen, which had been suffocating all afternoon, made him dare not even gasp hard, so he had to endure it and said, "I want to change clothes." ”
"Changing clothes?" Ruixue reacted after a while, and hurriedly said, "Ah, okay, okay, where are your clean clothes, I'll get them for you." ”
When Zhao Fengnian heard this, he choked so badly that he almost couldn't help but open the floodgates below, and secretly hated in his heart, was this woman pretending to be stupid to retaliate against him for the noon scolding, and he didn't even know that the rich and noble people said that Xiao Xie was elegant and changed clothes?
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I mean I'm going to be respectful." ”
Out of Gong? This time Rui Xue finally understood, there was a sketch in her previous life that was a joke made with this word, she secretly rolled her eyes, the ancients were troublesome, and when they went to the toilet, they said that they went to the toilet, and they had to take an obviously ambiguous and elegant word, so slanderous in their hearts, but they still had to pretend to be courteous and asked, "I understand, I'll get you the toilet." ”
Ruixue ran out of the door, picked up the toilet she had been using when she was injured a few days ago in the corner of the yard, returned to the house and put it next to the bed, and then asked with a little hesitation, "Do you need me to help you untie your trousers?" ”
Zhao Fengnian glanced at her coldly, "No, let's go out." ”
Ruixue turned around and walked out of the door, listening to the long-lasting commotion in the room from a distance for a while, she snorted and laughed again, how long has this person been holding back, and her bladder will explode if she holds it again.
After waiting for a while that there was no movement in the house, she walked in, poured the toilet into the back of the house, flushed it with water, washed her hands twice, and then entered the house, and saw that the man had fallen asleep face in, leaving half of the empty space outside the bed, she slowly lay flat, pulled a corner of the big red quilt to cover her stomach, and gently exhaled a breath, while feeling that this messy day had finally passed, and slowly fell asleep.
Zhao Fengnian listened to the long and gentle breathing of the woman next to him, gently moved his numb left arm, lay flat, remembered the previous days for a while, and was annoyed by the many abnormalities of today.
It was late at night, a night bird outside the door flew back from nowhere, tired combing its fur twice, and then quietly next to the sleeping bird's wife, sleeping with his neck crossed, the breeze blowing, the moonlight shining faintly, and the world was peaceful...
Early the next morning, Rui Xue woke up in the crowing of more than a dozen diligent roosters in the village, washed her face and rinsed her mouth, and clumsily learned the appearance of Sister-in-law Zhang two days ago, with two wooden hairpins, curled a neat simple sideburns, and then quickly cooked a pot of slightly silky cereal porridge, thought about it or knocked an egg again, made egg custard, put it in the pot to steam, and then fetched water into the house, wet the cloth towel and handed it to Zhao Fengnian, who had just woken up, and waited for him to slowly wipe his hands and face, then took the egg custard and put it in front of the bed, and then went into the kitchen and drank two bowls of porridge hastily, went directly out to Sister-in-law Zhang's house next door.
Sister-in-law Zhang was urging the children to drink porridge in the house, and when she heard her shouting outside the door, she greeted her and smiled, "Sister, why did you come here early in the morning, but your body is so neat?" ”
Rui Xue smiled and answered a few words, and saw a burly red-faced man come out of the house, and three children were faintly hiding behind the two wooden doors looking at her secretly.
