Chapter 30 Open a small stove
After eating, I went back, the ox cart was borrowed, and I had to return it early. The second girl came up from the town and was hired in a carriage. They also want to go back early. The mother said a lot more. Speaking of Erniu's two sisters-in-law, although they are not very old, they are all heart-to-heart, and they are blushing when they look at Erniu's dowry. But the second girl didn't give anything. The meeting gift is 50 yuan.
Pearl's brother-in-law is not bad, but Pearl can also see that the brother-in-law is different from Shen Shi, which shows that Mingde is not a simple person.
It didn't take long for Zhao to come over and ask about raising flowers, and Pearl left flower seeds before she got married, what flowers, how to raise them, and they all carefully explained to Liu Hai and his wife. Pearl followed Zhao to the flower room to look around, gave some pointers, and then went back to eat. Seeing this flower, Pearl is easy to think of the mother, the twelfth floor of their house, there are many flowers, and there is a special flower room. The flowers there have never changed, and time has turned out to stand still.
The Liu family was very well prepared to receive their daughter, with chicken, duck and fish, and originally invited people from the old house, but their plan did not succeed, and they were angry and did not invite. Liu Tonghammer didn't care either.
After eating, Pearl and Erniu went home, and Liu Tongzhu's family was sent to the entrance of the village. The two daughters should be treated the same, and there are a lot of gifts to bring back. The Liu family has money now, and there is no shortage of this money. Liu Tonghammer and his wife spent a lot of money to buy japonica rice for their two daughters, but only 20 catties per family. Each family had a chicken, a basket of sixty eggs, a pig's hind leg, a large fish, and in addition to this, each family received two pieces of muslin, and Pearl asked for a concubine and a navy blue. The second girl asked for a peach, a dark blue cloth. This is obviously for newcomers.
When they got home, Pearl and Mingqian moved their things to their own house, and it seemed that the ideal living room was going to become a kitchen and warehouse. Now Pearl feels that she has thought wrong, and what she needs now is not a screen, but a new house.
In the evening, the pearl opened a small stove, and when she came back in the afternoon, she soaked the bird's nest, not for anything else, her little husband was only sixteen, and she was very persistent in putting her strength on the kang, and she had to find a way to make up for her husband. Rock sugar bird's nest, it has many effects, women can tighten the skin after eating, can nourish yin and lungs, and can also nourish the kidneys.
An hour after dinner, Pearl made bird's nest on a small stove, gave her husband a bowl, and ate a bowl herself. Mingqian hadn't eaten this thing, but his daughter-in-law gave it, so it was naturally good, so he ate it. He actually has a sweet tooth in particular. After eating, Pearl had to take a bath again. Ming Qian could only go to fetch water again.
In the evening, the husband and wife were waiting for their hair to dry, and Pearl put the big stack of paper in front of Ming Qian and said, "Husband, do you want to make money and add some income to the family?" ”
Mingqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Pearl, who smiled and walked over to the bookshelf and found a thick book, the book did not have a title, and it was obvious that Mingqian had not noticed him yet. Pearl put the book in front of Ming Qian and said, "This is a classic article in Jiangnan in recent years for the township examination and the meeting examination. What a rare masterpiece! Think about it, who doesn't want such an article? The husband copied a copy, and he could sell it for a lot of money when he went out. ”
"Where did you get that?" Ming Qian shouted in surprise, isn't this a good thing?
"The young master in the mansion is studying in Guozijian, this is internal information. I got it in exchange for a double-sided embroidered interstitial. Pearl said with a smile,
Mingqian didn't care about the pearl anymore and began to look at it. The more I look at it, the more reluctant I am to let go, and Pearl doesn't care about him, I'm tired in the past two days, but fortunately I had a fight this morning, and no one picked on me when I came back at night. That's it. Pearl took off her padded jacket and slept under the hot bed.
Just about to fall asleep, I listened, "Good sentence! Good sentence! ”
Seeing that Mingqian was nervous there, Pearl continued to sleep. This night, Pearl slept very soundly, and I don't know when Mingqian went to sleep. When he woke up in the morning, he didn't wake up, and it seems that he slept late yesterday.
In the morning, Pearl gathered in the cool, dried clothes, set them aside, and waited for a little charcoal to be added to the iron, and the silk clothes had to be ironed before they were smoothed.
After that, when I went to the kitchen, Shen was already there. Seeing Pearl come in, he asked, "Brother and sister, what kind of porridge do you boil in the morning?" ”
Hearing this, he obviously knew that Pearl had come back with food, but Pearl didn't take it, and said, "Sister-in-law, call the shots!" After that, Shen reluctantly began to boil millet porridge again, and when the meal was ready, Pearl said, "Sister-in-law waits for grandparents to eat!" Last night, my husband read a book late and was very tired. I'll have to go see him, wait for him to freshen up, make him something nutritious, and by the way, if Yu'er wants to eat, let her come to me. "Pearl likes children, I like them very much, Yu'er is only two years old, she has just walked back, and she can't talk about it, it's the time to be cute.
Pearl lit the stove and began to cook japonica rice porridge, and washed five eggs and put them in the pot to cook together. Then I found kelp and mung beans, went to the kitchen and found a pot to soak both, and the pot for soaking mung beans was covered. The ribs are brought to the kitchen and chopped into small pieces with a kitchen knife. Let's eat stewed kelp with pork ribs at noon!
These things were ready, Pearl returned to the inner room, and saw that Mingqian was still sleeping very soundly, so he ironed his clothes lightly. When the ironing is ready, put it in the closet and hang it. At this time, Ming Qian woke up,
"What did you get, it smells so good."
"Porridge for you." When Pearl saw that he was up, she went to the kitchen to bring water to Mingqian to wash. By the time he had cleaned up, there was already rice porridge and peeled eggs on the round table, as well as refreshing pickles.
"Second aunt!" Yu'er stood timidly at the door, and Pearl felt warm in her heart, "Come in!" Is it OK to eat with my second uncle? ”
"Good!"
Ming Qian saw that Yuer was coming, and knew that Pearl was still busy, so he said, "You go and get busy, I'll take care of Yu'er." ”
Pearl nodded and entered the inner room.
The embroidery stand is opened, the pearls begin to embroider, all the threads to be used are ready, put aside, and then the work begins. I was very focused when I embroidered pearls, and after embroidering for an hour, I took a break, walked outside the door, and saw that the dishes and chopsticks on the table were gone. It's just that there are some japonica rice porridge in the small pot, and the pearl takes the pot down, puts it aside, and puts the kettle on it, this copper kettle is still in the pearl's dowry! She also brought a set of six teacups with her dowry. Pearl boiled water, found a teacup, and found a bamboo tube for tea leaves in the box. There are four such bamboo tubes, and the best tea leaves are placed, one is the dragon well before the rain, and the other is the hair tip. The taste is all very good. There are other collected tea leaves that are placed in the space, supermarkets are also available, and tea estates also have a few, so there is no shortage. It doesn't spoil there, it doesn't smell good. Now these are all collected when I went out to do errands when I was in the Hou Mansion, and some of them were also rewarded by the old lady. The pearls are all in the space.
