Chapter 33: Cutting lotus leaves

He shouldn't be mistaken! I'm just afraid that I'll get into trouble with him, but it's really not... Alas! Forget it, I can't explain it anyway. With a slight exhalation, Chun Tao opened the cabinet at the end of the bed.

Auntie is really, she loves candy! Chun Tao opened the first drawer of the cabinet and saw a lot of candy, sighed, grabbed a handful and went out.

After September and October took the candy, they ran away without looking back, completely ignoring Aunt Zhou's shouts.

"Why are the two children running so fast?"

"Three... March Niang Jean... Let them be early... Return... Get back. "In fact, March Niang knew that the Zhou family was relatively poor, so they were not allowed to disturb the Zhou family.

"By the way, what are you going to do with such a big rice bucket?" Aunt Zhou accidentally saw the mold on Zhou Kuiruo's hand, and remembered the rice bucket she saw just now.

"That's... That, ask... Ask the prime minister! Pushing the matter to Zhou Kuiruo, Chun Tao fled the scene and entered the stove room.

Chun Tao took out the flour and added salt, and began to knead the dough, ready to make a cool skin. While kneading the dough, he listened attentively to the conversation between Zhou Kuiruo and Aunt Zhou.

"That's right, Chun Tao wants to set up a stall and do some business. I thought it was a good idea, and I wanted her to sell it at the two-day market and give it a try. ”

"Stalls? I remember the last time Chun Tao told me, I thought she would just talk about it! But Chun Tao's temperament is not very suitable for business! Aunt Zhou frowned slightly, a little worried.

"In the past two days, I have taken her with September and October, and if I can, let them be placed next to my stall and take care of them."

What Zhou Kuiruo said was the Tao, and Aunt Zhou did not object very much. "Then you can do it! If there is no silver, my mother still has some jewelry there. ”

The jewelry that Aunt Zhou said was actually bought for her when Zhou's father was alive, and she has always cherished it, and usually takes it out when she thinks about Zhou's father.

"Okay, don't worry!" Zhou Kuiruo knew the importance of those jewelry to Aunt Zhou, even if he really ran out of money, he didn't want to move, but he didn't want to brush off her kindness.

"Did you hear that? Is there anything you'd like to say? Zhou Kuiruo didn't know when he entered the stove room and stood behind Chun Tao.

"No... No. Zhou Kuiruo suddenly appeared, and also caught Chun Tao who was eavesdropping.

Zhou Kuiruo looked at the embarrassed Chun Tao and smiled secretly, his tone still remained flat. "Where is this?"

"Put... Put it on the cupboard. ”

After putting the mold away, Zhou Kuiruo asked again: "Is there anything you want me to help with?"

Chun Tao was squatting on the ground peeling peas, so she had to raise her head slightly to look at him. "No... No need. ”

"Sit down!" Zhou Kuiruo moved a small chair and placed it behind Chun Tao, and squatted opposite her to peel it together.

"No... No need, I... I'll do it myself! Zhou Kuiruo continued to do the work at hand as if he hadn't heard Chun Tao's refusal.

Chun Tao had no choice but to go with him, anyway, it would be faster.

It took two people to peel a large pot of peas for nearly half an hour to clean them. "That's too slow!"

Two hands rubbing is already the fastest, "Yes... Oh, yes! ”

"If you really want to do business, you can't do it at this speed, but it's too early to think about it." Zhou Kuiruo stood up and slapped his waist vaguely.

"Hmm!" Chun Tao was about to move the pot of soaked peas aside, but Zhou Kuiruo saw it and snatched it from her hand.

"I..." I'll do it! For Zhou Kuiruo's sudden thoughtfulness, Chun Tao couldn't stand it.

As soon as Zhou Kuiruo turned his head, he saw her in a daze. "Don't think too much about it, I just don't want to lose money."

That's good, or I'm really not used to it.

The pea skin is peeled, the dough is fermented, and Chun Tao begins to wash the dough.

"What are you? Do what? Zhou Kuiruo hasn't left the stove yet.

"Do... Make cool skin. Chun Tao had tried his best to ignore his existence, but he just wanted to speak to emphasize his existence.

"So that's what Cool Skin did."

"Hmm!" Are you idle? Isn't there anything to do? Do you have to stay here?

"Why didn't you wash it? Isn't there still one? Zhou Kuiruo also saw that Chun Tao was a little impatient, but he just didn't want to leave, he just wanted to see how she didn't dare to say or complain.

"This... Be... It's gluten. "Oh my God! Are you going to be a hundred thousand why? Why don't you go yet.

Spring peach put the gluten in a bowl, cover it, and steam it again tomorrow morning.

"By the way, what do you use to pretend to be cold skin?"

"No... I don't know, yet... Also, rice balls. ”

"There is an ownerless pond in the north of the village, and when I go there, I will pick some lotus leaves, which can be used to make rice balls. However, this cold skin can only be served in a bowl..."Zhou Kuiruo thought about it and still didn't have any good ideas. "Let's go pick lotus leaves first! Otherwise, when it gets dark, it will be inconvenient to pick it. ”

"Hmm!" The two cleaned up, carried the back basket, and went out with a pair of rusty scissors.

"I'll cut it, and you'll just put it in." When he arrived at the pond, Zhou Kuiruo took the initiative to take on the task of cutting lotus leaves.

"You... You want... Go down? Zhou Kuiruo was taking off his shoes and socks, and it seemed that he was preparing to go to the pond.

"How else do you get it?" Zhou Kuiruo didn't raise his head.

"Just... Just along the way... Pond... Circle... Go around in circles... Should... Only... That's enough. "If there are any bugs in this pond, it will be troublesome if it is bitten." Possible... Yes... There are bugs. ”

Zhou Kuiruo stopped what he was doing, and after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he put his shoes and socks back on. "Let's go around then!"

The ruffle skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face. Suddenly, I saw a young man, and he entered a village woman without salt.

Zhou Kuiruo was concentrating on cutting lotus leaves, sweating to his heart's content, and the bored Chun Tao saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, tampered with the verses of his predecessors, and complained about himself by the way.

"Whew~" It's the hottest time in the afternoon, and there are no children playing around the pond, and the sound of two slight exhalations is especially obvious in the quiet pond.

"Are you tired?" Just by listening to the tone, you can tell that this person is very unhappy now, not to mention that he is still looking at himself with raised eyebrows.

Chun Tao shook her head quickly and said, "No... No. ”

"You cut it." Zhou Kuiruo stuffed the scissors in his hand into Chun Tao's hand, and stood aside with a lotus leaf to cover the sun with a gloomy face.

In fact, I don't blame Zhou Kuiruo for being angry, it's too hot, and people's temper is not good, not to mention that there is a refreshed person standing next to him.

"Aren't you hot?" Zhou Kuiruo actually has a little conscience, although he has a bad attitude towards Chun Tao, but he still cares a little about her in behavior, for example, at this moment, he is holding a lotus leaf to block the sun on Chun Tao's head.

"No... Not hot. "He lost his temper so much, couldn't it be because he was upset when he saw that I didn't sweat?

"If you have time, you should go see the doctor! Winter is not cold, summer is not hot, sooner or later you will sit sick. ”

Is it necessary to curse me like that? Let's change the subject! "You... You're talking to that... Face... Selling noodles... How... Cognitive? ”

"I did him a small favor before."

A small favor? It doesn't feel like it, it can be seen from Erzhu Niang's attitude that Zhou Kuiruo still has a lot of kindness to their family. But he didn't want to say, Chun Tao couldn't ask anything again.

Help? "I... I've got it. As soon as Chun Tao turned around, the scissors were directly aimed at Zhou Kuiruo, fortunately he was relatively tall, otherwise I was afraid that he would be scratched in the face. Yes..."

Zhou Kuiruo threw the lotus leaves in both hands into Chun Tao's back basket, snatched the scissors from her hand, and didn't listen to her apology, and asked, "What did you think of?" ”

"I think... How to load... It's cool. "Is he angry or not?

"Hmm!" Zhou Kuiruo replied and asked Chun Tao to continue.

"We... You can ask for that... The stall owner... Borrow or rent. ”

"If I had spoken, he would have borrowed rather than rented. But if he doesn't have so many bowls, how can he do business by lending them to you? ”

"That's... It can be found in... Next to him... Beside. ”

"So you don't have to worry about affecting his business?"

"But... Sell no... It's not the same. ”

"It's all belly wrapping, what's the difference?"

It tastes different, at least mine tastes better than his. "Just... Just two days. Chun Tao couldn't think of any way, so she could only ask Zhou Kuiruo again. Chun Tao had already discovered that Zhou Kuiruo was a soft-eared person.

"Yes! I have a request, though. ”

"What... What the? ”
