Chapter Ninety-Three: February 2
The courtyard was crowded, everyone gathered around the carriage, half envious and half jealous of the tsk praise, sent away a batch, and another batch, which made Ruixue funny, this scene was similar to when she bought the first car in the village in her previous life, and it was such a sensation at that time, and it also made the village spread for a long time.
When she saw that Li Zheng also came to join in the fun, she hurriedly invited him into the house to drink tea, the day before yesterday she had prepared two taels of silver, two pieces of cloth and two pieces of meat and sent them to his house, she and Li Zheng Niangzi were just polite and came back, no one said anything, but they all knew each other.
In the end, Li Zheng still opened his mouth to persuade Zhao Fengnian to teach in the school again, but Zhao Fengnian refused, the reasons were ready-made, the family's tofu business was bigger, Rui Xue couldn't be busy alone, and he wanted to take over the business.
Li Zheng was also helpless, so he had to drink tea, and went back after a few circles around the new carriage.
Wu Yu and Da Zhuang originally went to Gao's house, but when they heard the rumors in the village, they ran back, and the crowd had already dispersed.
Several children of the Gao family and Da Zhuang jumped into the carriage to see the novelty, and Rui Xue pulled Wu Yu, pointed to the little pony and said, "Sister didn't say to bring you good things back, the little pony was specially bought for you to raise." ”
Wu Yu glanced at the pony a few times, then frowned, and said in disgust, "This foal is too ugly." ”
Rui Xue raised her hand and knocked him on the chestnut, and said angrily, "You kid, buy you a gift, you are still picky." The man who helped buy the horse said, what is the name of this pony, the breed is excellent, it looks worse for the time being, and after a year, it will grow into a very divine horse. ”
"Big Bowl Hoof?" Wu Yu heard this name, immediately exclaimed, rushed to the foal, he heard the name of the horse in the palace, it is said that this horse is a hybrid offspring of two kinds of horses, ten pairs of children can give birth to a horse, when born the hoof is as big as a small sea bowl, after only a long body, not long hooves, very endurance, good at running, eight hundred in the day, six hundred in the night, but a very rare good horse.
There used to be one in the imperial stable, which was paid tribute by the barbarians on the northern side of Xinjiang, but for some reason, the horse died in only two months, and he was out at that time, and he didn't have a chance to take a look. Now that he actually got one, it was a gift that his sister bought back herself, how could this make him not happy?
Da Zhuang and Kuroko heard him shouting in the car, jumped out and stepped forward to see the novelty, but they were pushed far away by him, and both of them shouted at him for being stingy, which made Ruixue laugh, took four small ones, went into the house to wash their hands, and brought them a few snacks to eat.
At the beginning of February, the weather seemed to be much warmer overnight, and the cold wind that blew on the face during the first month suddenly became gentle, and the snow on the roofs was thinning at a slow rate, and the spring that was hidden in all corners gradually recovered.
Early in the morning of the second day of the new year, Rui Xue changed into a clean jacket and skirt, and planned to go to the city to go to the Xue family's shop to pull back the two custom-made items, and by the way, she also had to buy some food for the holidays.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, ate the pig's head, and held the money hand. When she was doing business in her previous life, although she was not as particular as other businessmen, she was still happy to show off such folk festivals. Every year on this day, I have to go to the best delicatessen, buy two pig's front hooves, a piece of pig's head meat, and then fry a table of good dishes, and take my younger siblings and mothers to eat and drink lively, which means that in the new year, I will be satisfied with my wealth and hugging my heart.
In this life, I opened a shop, made tofu, and was still a trader, so naturally it should be the same.
When she asked her sister-in-law Zhang last night to make some preparations for cooking pig's head in the horse's head shop, Sister-in-law Zhang said strangely, she didn't understand why she had to eat pig's head and pig's trotters on the second day of the second month of February, and the pig's head was mostly used to worship the ancestors during the sacrifice, and no one had ever eaten it on ordinary days.
Rui Xue didn't explain much, only explained a few words, and asked her to wait for good food.
The advantage of having a carriage at home is to go wherever you want, pack up your old things, say hello to Zhao Fengnian and others and leave the village.
Wu Yu looked at Da Zhuang, who was picking up the car window and grimacing at him, rolled his eyes fiercely, and was once again annoyed in his heart for how he had a troublesome face.
Today's Zhao family in the village, has been sitting on the cusp, the village people have never let their family stop, gathered in one place, the Zhao family is the eternal topic, shop, tofu business, resurrection, star king, new carriage, etc., which can be said for half a day.
Every time Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang talked to her, she laughed half to death when she heard the gossip on the side, but she became more and more cautious in her heart.
When I entered the city today, I pulled Da Zhuang to be a little follower with her, otherwise I would only enter the city with Qian Heitan and the two of them, in case there was gossip, it would be difficult to discern.
Qian Heitan was in a very good mood, shaking the whip whistle all the way, humming a little song, and almost jumped out of the car and twisted a few times with joy.
A few days ago, I was tired and tired in the mountains, and I couldn't wait to break my waist when I slept at night, and sometimes I was afraid that I would never get up again if I fell. The steward disliked that he was not as strong as those who were strong and strong, and always scolded him, and he endured it every time, because he needed this salary, and needed to support his daughter-in-law and the child who was about to be born.
At lunchtime, suddenly someone from the village brought him a letter, saying that his daughter-in-law asked him to go back, she thought that her daughter-in-law was going to give birth, so she ran back as if flying, only to know that the Zhao family was going to hire him to drive tofu, and the salary was twice as much as cutting down trees, which was like a dream.
Who in the village doesn't know that the Gao family and the Zhang family have made a fortune with the Zhao family, and everyone's eyes are red with envy, as long as the Zhao family passes on a word, I'm afraid that the young descendants will squeeze their heads, why did this good thing fall on him?
The day before yesterday, he started to deliver tofu, and he went in and out of the village two or three times a day, and when he saw the envy and jealousy of everyone's eyes falling on him, he realized that this thing was indeed true. Brush the back of the jujube red horse during the day, add forage at night, and provide horses and carts very hard, which is the hope of their family.
Da Zhuang heard Qian Heitan humming a little song, so he wanted to open the door and sit with him, but he was afraid that Rui Xue would be bored in the carriage alone, so he hesitated, Rui Xue reached out and pulled his neckline for him, and said with a smile, "If you want to take the wheel, go and take a nap." ”
Da Zhuang scratched his head, opened the car door with a smile and went out, talking and laughing with Qian Heitan, looking at the scenery, although it was cold, but the vision was excellent.
Soon the carriage entered the city and went directly to the woodware shop, and the shopkeeper saw Rui Xue get off the carriage, and immediately ran out of the shop with a smile, and enthusiastically made Rui Xue suspicious, and exchanged a few words with him, and was led to the backyard flower hall to sit, and then he knew the reason.
It turned out that when the carpenter made the suitcase and rocking chair that day, the medical box was not enough, but the rocking chair was too novel and interesting, no matter how it leaned back, it would not fall, and it was very comfortable to sway, and everyone in the shop rushed to sit on it and try it. So, it was seen by the guests, and they fell in love at a glance, so they said that they would also make a custom one and give it to the old father at home.
The shopkeeper immediately smelled the business opportunities here, but because the drawings were Ruixue's, he couldn't reveal them casually, so he had to tell the truth, and the guest couldn't, and he was very disappointed when he left.
In the past few days, the shopkeeper has been looking forward to Rui Xue's coming, just to negotiate with her about buying the drawings.
Rui Xue had to sigh again, this space-time businessman really carried out the word integrity to the end, if it was a previous life, let alone say hello, I am afraid that the copyright is no longer hers before the goods are in hand.
The rocking chair is not an important object, she does not take it to heart, and between the smiles, she sent the drawings to the shopkeeper, but she will sit out and sell them again in the evening and January, because she is going to give away this rocking chair, if she can't take advantage of the novelty, she will lose the weight.
The shopkeeper originally thought that Rui Xue would take the opportunity to ask for more silver taels, but she didn't expect her to be bold and half-penniless, this kind of courage and open-mindedness is really rare.
Therefore, when Rui Xue took out the silver to pay the remaining five taels of wages, he refused to ask for it, and even beckoned the young man to move the newly made pair of small kang cabinets in the shop, along with the rocking chair and medical box, into the car. Rui Xue couldn't refuse, so she had to say that after the house was repaired, all the household furnishings were added to this shop, and the shopkeeper thanked him again and again.
The carriage was half full, and she went to the butcher's shop and bought two pieces of meat, three large pigs' heads, and eight pig's trotters.
When the carriage went out of the city and arrived at the front of the shop, Da Zhuang ran in as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and the stones and bolts were believed, so he came out to help carry the things.
Sister-in-law Zhang had already boiled the hot water in the cauldron, the pig's head was soaked in it, and the stone and the bolt each took a piece of iron to shave their hair. Shanzi ran out to ask for tea, and when he saw that it was so lively, he didn't enter the house, so he raised the pig's trotters to roast under the stove, and after they were blackened, he took them out and scraped them, and removed the hoof shells, and they were actually white and clean.
It turns out that when the year was good in the past, every time the village came to the New Year, there were always a few families who would kill a pig, sell a part of it to the neighbors, and eat the rest at home, and Uncle Yun was the butcher in the village, although it was not as good as the serious butcher's skills, but it was not too much, Shanzi followed and learned a few hands, but it also helped a lot.
Soon the pig's head was also picked up, and Shanzi took a palm-sized sharp axe to split the pig's head and carefully washed away the blood clots inside.
Rui Xue asked him to help throw two four-and-a-half pots into the largest pot, added most of the water, burned the fire to a boil, skimmed off the blood foam on it, and then put the prepared green onions, ginger wine, chili peppers, salt and many other spices into it, and pressed stones on the wooden pot lid, and officially began to cook.
Rui Xue washed her hands and said, "Shanzi, you can stay here at the dock and eat with everyone, and you will cook one at home, and I will let your father and mother send it again." ”
Shanzi blushed a little, he ate one here, and he had to get another one at home, so he said, "No need, master, I..."
Ruixue interrupted him and said with a smile, "Whatever you twist, you can eat it." Let's go, go to the North House, and say hello to everyone. ”
