Chapter 14 The daughter-in-law's housekeeper
CHAPTER XIV
Lin Baozhu was really a little surprised by Zhang Manho's approach. No matter what, they are only two people in name now, and outsiders always say that she is the daughter-in-law who was sold, could it be that Zhang Manchu doesn't mind being unguarded at all?
She cautiously looked at Zhang Manchu's expression, and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, his expression was upright and ironclad, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, saying that this was a bad star, how could she know that he was an upright man. With such an incident today, her impression of him is getting better and better, he is not a good person, and he knows that he has a good life with his daughter-in-law, and it is really rare not to hold the shelf of a stinky man.
You must know that when she first accepted the crossing of reality, she was mentally prepared, and if she met someone with an arbitrary manly nature, she had no other choice but to accept it temporarily. As long as you don't bully her, just be his big man. But I didn't want to surprise her after just one night.
is a fierce and vicious man, but at this time he is embarrassed to purse his lips and look at the copper plate on the table, with some embarrassment and irritability in his eyes, how to look at it and feel funny.
Of course, Lin Baozhu really laughed out loud, she put the copper plate into the faded purse that couldn't see the age, and then stuffed it into Zhang Manho's arms, "You take it, how can a big man have a penny on him outside." You don't have to be embarrassed or embarrassed. In the future, as long as you are good and don't play fierce with me, I will run this home for you in a down-to-earth manner, and the situation will not be worse than now. ”
Zhang Manchu saw that Lin Baozhu did not despise himself, and there was a smile in his words, so he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the corners of his mouth in response. Thinking about half of the fields that had been repaired at home, he said, "You rest first, and I'll go to the back mountain to see the land first." ”
If you want to live a stable life in the village, it is always impossible to have no land and no production at home, so he began to reclaim wasteland in the back mountains early. In fact, many people in the village have their own thin land, just to save trouble, and not to be arched by wild things, so everyone generally opens up the land in front of the mountain. Especially in the village, there are many ghosts and ghosts in the back mountains, and those ghosts and evil things are turned to pick people to absorb essence. Just look for it, this back mountain...... Ordinary people are not willing and afraid to go.
But Zhang Manchu is a taboo-free person, as long as he can live, he is not afraid of any evil ghosts.
When he was about to go out, Zhang Manchu was worried that someone would come to find fault again, so he twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and then went to the stove room to get the mace that he had used to hunt wild boars.
"If someone dares to come to find bad luck, you just have to call it, whether it's good or bad, wait for me to come back and talk about it." The rugged man didn't blink his eyes to explain, and when he saw Lin Baozhu's surprised expression, he remedied a little awkwardness in his heart, "Don't be afraid, if others don't provoke me, I won't beat people." ”
"Hey!" Lin Baozhu looked at the man who tried to lower his voice as much as possible, and laughed out loud, this man is really interesting, and he doesn't know how to think that there are three hundred taels of silver here. "Don't worry, whoever dares to bully me, I'll pay it back."
was supposed to be a serious explanation, but it was funny because Lin Baozhu dragged a mace full of iron nails with great difficulty. Of course, I didn't see this Zhang Manchu who left in a hurry, otherwise I don't know if there will be any more jokes.
It's also boring to be alone on the kang, and after taking medicine twice yesterday, the doctor came and pushed the bruise, and she felt much better at this time. I simply got off the kang by myself, and then looked at the house back and forth.
The yard is not big, but it is complete, and the stove room and the small shed where farm tools and miscellaneous items are put are also neat. It's just that Xu has only lived there for a short time, and there are few people around, so it seems a little deserted.
Lin Baozhu saw that there was a small house without a roof made of loess and wheat straw in the southwest corner, and thought to himself that it was a place to store things? But I didn't want to smell a smell as soon as I got closer, so I realized that it was a thatched house, and I pinched my nose and took two steps back. It's a shame that there is no one at home, otherwise I would have seen her excited probe looking into the thatched house, and I might not know how to laugh.
Next to the thatched house and the fence is the firewood room that was closed to her at the beginning, saying that it is a firewood house, but in fact, there is also a clay kang in it, and it is also a room to turn around and pick it up. It wasn't much along the fence, but looking at the dirt-covered ground, she thought to herself that she would wait for March to plane and plant some vegetable seeds.
It's not that she is too adaptable to this kind of life in the village, but when she was making tea in the mountains, she lived in a villager's house for convenience, and at that time, she also learned a lot of survival skills from the villager's family.
Thinking of all the things in her previous life, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, she was rare at the beginning, but she didn't expect it to become the golden finger of today's life. Speaking of the golden finger, it made Lin Baozhu smile bitterly, if he had known that he would have crossed into a farmer's daughter-in-law, it would have been better to follow the brothers and sisters of the Agricultural College to learn more about farming and breeding. It's better than planting tea trees, everything else is half-baked.
While thinking about what to plant, I looked around. It is said that the yard is small, but it is also empty because of the lack of things, and it just so happens that at this time, I don't know which rooster flutters its wings and tosses in the hillside, and there are a few old hens on the side. Thinking that eating an egg is a good thing this year, she couldn't help but think about discussing with Zhang Manchu to build a chicken nest and raise a few chickens at home. Not to mention selling money, even if you eat eggs, you can still open meat during the New Year.
After a long look, most of the time passed with cleaning and placement. Seeing that the sun was almost overhead, she scooped water from the water tank and washed her hands to prepare for cooking.
Thinking that the man who got up early said that he had bought meat and bones, she simply decided to make something delicious, which could be regarded as a good start for the two of them. Looking at the piece of pork belly, and the piece of whole fat meat, she got to work.
It was certainly not possible to have no oil and water at home, so I washed the meat briefly, put it in a pan and fried it, and after a while, the lard of Slathra flowed down the meat pieces. Fished out some discolored pork belly and trapped it, and then poured the freshly chopped fat into the hot oil pan. At this moment, the aroma instantly diffused, and the fat meat slowly turned brown in the sound of Zhila Zhila, and finally became a crispy lard residue.
The first time she ate lard residue that year, she was surprised for a long time, but she didn't expect that fatty meat would have this way to eat. And the lard of the villagers in the mountains actually came from this way, but it made her rare. Later, when I watched CCTV's King of Chef Competition, a foreign chef selected all the cooking oil in order to embarrass the Chinese team, but he didn't expect that the Chinese team actually fried the pork chops when the main dish was served. I still remember that at that time, the foreign chef wanted to withdraw from the competition on the grounds of unfairness, and it was not until the Chinese chef boiled the fragrant pork with pork belly in front of him that he was stunned and speechless.
At that time, she was often proud of the wisdom of the Chinese, and she really did not expect that one day she would also use this method to refine edible oil.
After putting the fragrant and crackling lard residue into a bowl, she poured the rest of the oil and water into the oil urn, cut the dry pork belly into two pieces, and marinated the rest. Then he squatted down and dealt with the artichoke in the corner and the carrots that were a little wilting.
I found a clean twig, scraped the potatoes and carrots, and cut them into hob pieces, and then put them together with the meat pieces and stewed them in the hot water that had just been boiled in a pan.
Having stewed the vegetables into the pot, she bent down to fill the firewood again. I just started to make noodles, because there are few people in the family, and she doesn't know how much Zhang Manchu has to eat, so she only mixes a bowl and a half of noodles, and estimates that it is almost a small bowl and a big bowl of noodles.
Thinking of the current situation at home, Lin Baozhu was a little worried. Anyway, now they have to think of a way to make some money.
But worrying is worried, and the movements of her hands have not stopped at all. In this moment's work, the noodles that are more than a finger wide are cut and stacked neatly.
Lin Baozhu pulled the firewood twice with a burning stick, then lifted the lid of the pot and leaned over to the side of the pot to look at the stewed miscellaneous vegetables. A steaming pot of meaty stew immediately hooked her gluttony, and her stomach rumbled directly.
Looking at it, it was estimated that Zhang Manchu was almost done, so she buried the fire again to warm the food in the pot. Then I dug up some bud rice noodles and mixed them with black noodles to make potsticker cakes.
Because the black noodles are rough noodles with wheat bran, and the thin buds are still there, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to swallow. I just beat two eggs and went in together, in fact, it would be better if there was milk, but unfortunately she just thought about it.
After finishing all this, Lin Baozhu moved a small bench and sat in front of the stove to bask in the sun. Except for some empty stomachs, this day is really leisurely and comfortable.
Just as she was dozing, Zhang Manchu, who was covered in sweat and blood, stumbled back. At a glance from afar, the blood was flowing all over the ground, and the man with his mouth full of murderous anger couldn't suppress the blood in his heart at this time, not to mention that it was terrifying even if he looked at it closely.
Zhang Laohan, who was still angry, just slapped Liu twice, and was upset by Zhang Erbao's howl of crying father and mother, but he didn't want to bump into Zhang Manchu, who looked fierce and seemed to be about to kill, and immediately his legs and feet were weak and he almost squatted on the ground. It was also a shame that Zhang Manchu just squinted at him, and then left without saying a word, and the blood droplets that flowed when he passed by him fell directly on his face, which was really frightening.
