Chapter 186: They're Worthy?
This is the first time that Boss Pang has mentioned their family's affairs, Aunt Pang's relatives are all in the south, Xu Miao knows about this, the south comes to the north, it is estimated that it is not very realistic, and now that people have said so, then she naturally has no opinion, and nodded with a smile and agreed. Book Lovers' Building
With Boss Pang again, I booked some chili noodles and coarse salt, Xu Miao came out of the grocery store, came to the market, bought five catties of pork belly, and bought several big stick bones, the sauerkraut at home can be eaten, Xu Miao plans to make some sauerkraut and white meat at noon, try the taste.
Seeing the candy sellers, one by one the sugar people are cute and cute, Xu Miao bought three more sugar people for the three small ones at home, and when the things were bought and were about to leave, the sound of selling apples was heard not far away.
Xiaobajiazi apples are still relatively popular fruits, but if you want to buy them, you have to go to the dried fruit store to buy them, and that is where they can be found. Of course, the price is also slightly more expensive. Nowadays, it is sold in this market, which is naturally cheaper than dried fruit shops.
Xu Miao's pre-ordered chili noodles and coarse salt are going home to pickle spicy cabbage, pickled spicy cabbage is indispensable is fruit pieces, the last time I bought less than five catties of apples in the dried fruit shop, it cost nearly fifty copper plates.
When I came to the stall selling apples, many women had come forward to ask about the price, Xu Miao listened again, the price was not expensive, eight cents a catty, although the apples were a little smaller, they were still red.
Xiao Nizi casually packed several and put them on the scale, the boss weighed and gave the silver money, put the apples in the cloth pocket, and walked towards the little eight families with the things, and the time when she returned home was just right, just a moment.
Li Tie and the others had already put all the winter vegetables in the lower room, Xu Miao took a cursory look, then went back to the house to prepare lunch with confidence, washed the bones, split them with an axe, and then put them in a pot under cold water with the pork belly, blanched the blood water and put it aside for later use.
Another stove is lit on fire, the steamed bread is hot, and the steamed bread is heated with a curtain, four people in Quandong can eat, and an average person has to eat five steamed bread in one meal, Xu Miao's steamed bread is big, and because of the white flour, the steamed bread is very noisy.
Fished out two sauerkraut from the afternoon, the tofu workshop has begun to clean up and get off work, Li Tie and others left first, Chunwang came to the house with the account book and money bag, and reported to Xu Miao, Xiao Nizi put the sauerkraut aside, and after checking the accounts with Chunwang, she sent people out of the yard with a smile.
After turning back to the house, I continued to cut the sauerkraut, took a strip of shredded sauerkraut, put it in my mouth and chewed, it tasted good and very sour. The shredded sauerkraut was cut into thin slices and the pot was not put in the pot under cold water, which Xu Miao learned from the Northeast people in his previous life.
Then put the pork belly slices and big bones in, just wait for the pot to boil, skim off the foam, put salt out of the pot, just get it done, put the lid on the pot, there is a sound in the yard -
"Sister Miao, let's be at home."
When Xu Miao heard this, she "chuckled" in her heart, why is this Xu Ling here again?
Put down the work in his hand, wiped his hands with a rag, then straightened up, opened the door of the house, and saw that Xu Ling came by himself, so he stepped out and said, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”
"Look at what your kid said, it's not right for my aunt to come to your house." After Xu Ling finished speaking, he went directly to the tofu workshop just like in his own home, looked at the two stone mills, and there were so many guys, and couldn't help but continue to say,
"Tut-tut...... Look at our sister Miao, she is so capable, and she has added a stone mill. But girl, it's not my aunt who said, your tofu shop is rented, and you have to take it away after adding these things, which is inconvenient. ”
Xu Miao's purchase of the tofu workshop was carried out in a low-key manner, only the Chunzhu family, the Lizheng family and themselves knew, but when Xu Liang gave the red deed, he also gave it at home, so the matter was not publicized.
Xu Ling lived far away in the town, so naturally he didn't know about it, Xu Miao shrugged his shoulders and didn't squeak. For Xu Ling, she has never had a good impression, a person who can worry about selling his own nephew, how good can his character be?
Xu Ling saw that Xu Miao didn't care about himself, and knew that it was because of what happened last time, so he sighed with regret and said:
"Sister Miao, when my aunt said that, she also wanted San Lang to have a way out, think about it, how are the four of you sisters and brothers doing over there? San Lang is a good boy, able to work and endure hardships, that is a copy of your father, do you want him to be the second your father and work hard for those people in the big house? ”
This is said very heartfelt, Xu Ling is even more tears in his eyes, if it was the original Xu Miao, it is estimated that she would have to be moved, but at this moment, the person standing in front of her is an adult in her twenties, but she looks like a fifteen-year-old girl.
Xu Miao secretly sneered in her heart, she was even more impressed by Xu Ling, and her ability to pick and choose from outside was really not covered, Xiao Nizi sighed, it didn't seem to be too much involved with Xu Ling, shook her head, and said:
"It's all in the past, what did my aunt say about him, no matter what happened before, at least now our sister and brother are living well, and they will live well in the future, my aunt came from the old house, I won't send you, I'll be busy first."
As she spoke, she walked out facing Xu Ling, until after getting people out of the tofu workshop, Xiao Nizi closed the door and locked it. In the past, this lock would not have been locked, but today it is no longer possible.
When Xu Ling heard the sound of "let's click-", his originally loving face suddenly turned inky, and then looked at the back of Xu Miao entering the room, and the back molars gritted "squeak...... ...... creaked, stomped his foot on the ground, turned his head and left the yard.
Xu Miao returned to the house and continued to cook sauerkraut and white meat, and her mind was already thinking about how to face the old mansion for a while......
Xu Ling returned to the old house, the yard was full of the smell of meat, today it was the turn of the third room to cook, plus the old house was going to invite Ouyang Minrui to eat, the aunt and grandmother in the town were back, and the natural meal was much richer than usual.
Chicken stewed with potatoes, braised pork, stir-fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, stewed tofu with fish head......
The second daughter-in-law, Feng, also changed her habit of visiting the house today, and honestly waited at home for dinner, Xu Ling entered the courtyard, Xu Bing was talking to Xu Fang in the yard, and when she saw that her eldest sister was back, she hurriedly stepped forward, held her arm affectionately, and asked:
"Sister, what's the matter? What did the girl say? ”
Xu Ling shook his head, and followed Xu Bing into the room listlessly, Lu and Old Man Xu looked at the girl's sad face, and they had already guessed in their hearts, Lu Shi had a dark face, and said:
"The big girl is fine, call that young farmer to come to dinner at noon in a while, and let that girl tell you how to make tofu, ah!"
When Xu Ling heard this, he sighed and sat down next to the Lu family, what her mother looked like, how could she, as a daughter, know everything. The farthest place she has been to in her life is the entrance of the village, what can she know.
In her subconscious, this invitation to come to the house for dinner, as long as she says something, she will definitely be able to do it, but who is the other party? That is the eldest young master of the Ouyang family, she has been married to the town for many years, and she knows about the Ouyang family and the Qin Mansion in Fucheng, and murmured helplessly:
"If only it were so easy, I didn't learn this tofu for our family, mainly for the eldest brother and his father and mother, the eldest brother needs silver to be an official, but she ...... Why is it so lonely? ”
"That girl is a wolf-hearted, sharp-hearted, and her mother has a virtue, her mother has never returned to her parents' house since she married into our family, every time her mother's father comes to see her, every time she sees it, she has to spare something from our family, so it's not a thing."
Speaking of the fourth daughter-in-law, the Lu family is really full of firepower, pulling the dead people over and over again, and the ones that fall are called a thorough. After counting the dead, naturally the number of alive, from Xu Miao to Xiao Wu, none of them were spared, and they were all scolded over and over again.
Old Man Xu listened to it next to him, as if he had nothing to do with him, just like that, he was smoking a dry cigarette, Xu Ling was a little tired of listening to it, and said lightly:
"Mother, you can't make the relationship so stiff at the moment, in the end, it's the child of our old Xu family. Besides, at noon, I invited Ouyang Shaozhuang to come to the house for dinner, and I had to ask San Lang and Xu Miao to come over to accompany them. ”
"What? Let them accompany them? I-" When the Lu family heard that their grandson and granddaughter were allowed to come to the house for dinner, they were immediately unhappy, and after spitting on the ground, they said, "They are also worthy, our family's noon dish is too hard, and a big rooster that has been killed, Sister Ying'er's son-in-law sent a piece of meat with three layers of meat that day, and it was in vain for them to eat." ”
"Mother, then you have to let them come over to eat, big families pay attention to family and everything, see how good you are to your grandson and granddaughter, it is convenient to talk about my eldest brother." Although Xu Ling didn't want to say this, she knew in her heart that if there was no four sisters and brothers for today's lunch meal, Ouyang Shaozhuang would definitely not come back to eat.
As he spoke, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the yard, and then Xu Zhengjiang hurriedly walked in from the outhouse, panting and said:
"Dad, it's not good, the owner of Ouyang Shaozhuang is gone, he has been gone a long time ago, and I heard that at the end of the time, the people left."
"What?!" As soon as Old Man Xu heard this, the dry tobacco bag that he was smoking fell to the ground. Xu Ling sat beside the Lu family, and when he heard this, his brain was also "buzzing".
Originally, she pinned all her hopes here, but she didn't expect that people would leave a long time ago, so why did she come all the way to the countryside? The snow is roaring, this ...... Isn't that a waste of time?!
"What? Let's go? Who let him go? Didn't you say okay, come home for dinner at noon? I'm a big rooster that the third child kills now. Lu said distressedly, with a look of regret.
The chickens at home were slaughtered after staying for nearly the lunar month. Leave one for family food, and the rest will be sent to the big girl in the town, and there is also the county Xu Ying's son-in-law's house.
There are a total of five roosters, all of which have been allocated, if it weren't for the old man who said that he would be entertained at noon, he would be more noble than the status of the eldest grandson's son-in-law, she said that she couldn't kill the chickens, but now she was ......
