Chapter 33: Controversy
The next day, Jiang Han got up early in the morning, and when he left the house with the corners of his mouth swollen and the head of the chicken nest, he actually saw his father boxing in the yard.
"Dad, your legs are not well, what are you doing with boxing?"
Yesterday's matter of the silver, for the sake of her father's good intentions for her, she decided to forgive him for the time being.
"It's okay, just don't put it on your right leg."
"Can you get your feet on the ground?" Her father asked, pausing his movements.
"The swelling is almost gone, only a little bit of pain." She scratched her head and glanced down at her feet.
"Why don't you take medicine at the corners of your mouth?" Her father asked again, as if unintentionally.
"......" Jiang Han hurriedly covered his mouth, and said to the left and right, "I, I'll go wash up, and help Yun Niang make breakfast by the way." ”
With that, she limped and fled.
Yun Niang in the kitchen has long been busy, and breakfast is just gruel and pickles, she will not waste food without a score, but it is just a few days of hard work, she has deeply realized what it means to be a day when you can't eat enough.
After Jiang Han finished washing, he sat down in front of the stove to help Yun Niang light the fire, and asked casually, "Xiao An hasn't gotten up yet?" ”
"I'm up, I'm practicing calligraphy."
"Tsk, practice at night, practice early, he can endure annoyance at a young age!" Jiang Han sighed.
"What are we going to eat this morning?"
"Only porridge and pickles, do you want to eat anything else? And a little bit of thick noodles......"
"No, porridge and pickles are fine." After a pause, she complained again, "I really don't know how I can have such a stupid father, I know that our family is about to be unable to open the pot now, and I finally have the silver in my hand and I don't know how to leave ten taels first-hmph, the duck in the mouth didn't even bite and gave it away!" Chivalrous, courageous, loyal and trustworthy, but can't be eaten as a meal......"
"Sister, I don't agree with your words, although loyalty and trustworthiness can't be eaten, but this is the foundation of life! Zi said: People do not stand without faith, my father also often said, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, faith is the foundation of life, if people have no faith, sooner or later everyone will betray their relatives and lose everything! Yun Niang said solemnly.
Jiang Han scoffed at Yun Niang's words: "Hey, you're also on it!" Isn't it also divided into morning and evening? If I were to starve to death right now, would keeping my faith save me from near death? Why can't you slow down first, save your life first, and then talk about credit? You have to have a life to have faith. ”
Hearing this, Yun Niang was rarely angry, and put the knife in her hand that was cutting pickles on the board with a "snap", and looked at Jiang Han and said, "If it weren't for Uncle Jiang being a trustworthy person, who would lend him money?" How do you still have a porridge to eat? ”
"I'm not saying I won't pay back, I just want to be later. It's good that you can live a good life and have other developments, so that you can better repay your debts and even help others! If we starve to death now, will the more than a hundred taels of silver be wasted for the creditors? ”
"Now you can work in a teahouse, I can embroider to earn money, although it is difficult, there is still porridge to drink, why can't you pay off part of the debt first, gain the trust of the creditor, and have more time with you? In this way, you can not only have less worries, but also get help again, wouldn't you be more at ease to earn money? ”
"You're saying that's too narrow! If I have 30 taels in my hand, well, even if it is 10 taels, I can use these 10 taels to change the status quo and make some investments - that is, to make a lot of money, the starting point of the capital is high, and the harvest is correspondingly more, wouldn't it be possible to pay off the debt faster? Jiang Han pursed his lips, still insisting on his opinion.
Yun Niang took a deep breath and directly punctured her fantasy bubble: "So what kind of more profitable things do you plan to do?" In the debts you oweed before, there were people who did it hastily because of this idea and ended up in debt, right? ”
She pursed her lips and persuaded her: "I remember my father once said that when you are unstable, you will rashly do tricks, and if you have a slight accident, you will go bankrupt." I think he's right, now we're in debt, it's when we're unstable, don't you think? ”
"Hey, there's a dean in the blink of an eye......"
"I, I, I think, Miss Xie is right, very, very right! Yueya, you are just too reckless, too reckless, and you like to play small, clever and clever......" Jiang Han didn't finish muttering, but Liu Dakang's nervous and stammering voice came from the door.
The two people in the kitchen turned their heads at the same time, and saw Liu Dakang holding a fish weighing about two or three catties in his hand, and his face was slightly red and hesitating at the door.
Jiang Hanqi stepped forward to take the fish in his hand, and sneered in a low voice: "Hmph, you dare to help me before you can skim the eight characters, be careful that I will let your hopes be dashed!" ”
Liu Dakang's face became a monkey's butt again, he grabbed Jiang Han, and whispered: "Yueya, you, you can't be like this, I'm your brother, right?" Besides, Yun Niang is not wrong, if you don't change this problem, you will have to suffer in the future......"
"Yo, Miss Xie just now, now I'm calling Yunniang, did people let you call it?"
"You, you, you, you, I, I ......"
"What do you want?" Jiang Han's chest straightened, his eyes glared and he said, "What do you dare to do to me?" The corners of my mouth are still swollen, and I feel very upset......"
Liu Dakang's face froze, and he was at a loss in embarrassment.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Han's eyes rolled, his nostrils snorted, and he smiled and said, "However, for the sake of you sending a fish early in the morning to make up for my body, I will forgive you once!" Next time...... I won't give you a good face without a chicken! ”
"That, that, fish, don't eat all the fish, leave half of them for Yun Niang and them......"
"Hey, you're a man! Are you still my brother? , get out of here, I don't want to see you again! Next time I bring ginseng, I won't let you in again! ”
Jiang Han shook the fish in his hand and limped directly to drive people away.
She angrily carried the fish into the kitchen, threw it in a wooden basin, and signaled to Yun Niang: "The fish that my senior brother brought over, hmph, count him as acquaintances - we have a good day today." ”
"I can make steamed fish, but I won't kill ......," Yun Niang glanced at the fish and said ashamedly.
"I won't ...... either" in modern times is all bought and killed, who has nothing to kill by himself!
"Let's put it first, go and tell Xiao An to get up, let's have breakfast first. Let my dad kill it when we cook lunch, and then we can think about how to make it more delicious. ”
"I only steam and braise the fish, and I don't know how to make it." Yun Niang said lightly.
"We can make boiled fish fillet, sauerkraut fish, and the fish head can also be chopped off to make a separate chili fish head!"
"And these practices? Sister, have you done all of this? Yun Niang was surprised.
In fact, in the half month she came to the Jiang family, Jiang Han had been eating in Zhang Luo before, but in addition to pickles, vegetables with little oil and some black bacon, she had never seen her do other tricks.
"Some have done it, some know how to do it...... What I made probably didn't taste good. Jiang Han shrugged embarrassedly.
"Oh, why don't we steam or braise it." Yun Niang said clearly.
"Look at you, how come you don't have the courage to try? Are you afraid that I will do something bad? I'm just saying that what I make is not tasty, not that it is hard to swallow! ”
"We only have one fish, although I will only have two styles, but the taste can be guaranteed, you will have many kinds, but the taste is not easy to say, whether to choose mine or yours, we still ask for the opinions of Uncle and Xiao An." Yun Niang said a little more seriously.
"Cut, why can't I say Fangzi and you do it? Not only do you have no imagination, but you also don't have the courage to try! Jiang Han retorted disdainfully.
"I'm down-to-earth and do what I can!" Yun Niang did not admit defeat either.
"Do you dare to try? Or do you say that you just don't have confidence in your cooking skills, so you don't dare to innovate? ”
"We only have one fish, and we don't have any extra to waste ......"
"At most, it's just unpalatable, it's not that it can't be eaten, it's a big deal, don't eat it, I'll cover it all!"
"Hey, you'd like to ......" Yun Niang hesitated for a moment and reminded, "I'll make it clear before I try it, if it's really hard to make according to your recipe, it's all your responsibility, don't rely on my cooking skills!" ”
