Chapter 49: You Help Me Wipe It
When she got home, Lin Yao beckoned Yao's mother to help her take everything down, Yao's mother looked at the cloth and cotton stuffed in the carriage, and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, looked at Lin Yao with a surprised face, and asked, "Yaoyao, what are you buying so much cloth for, we don't need so much cloth to make clothes." ”
Lin Yao curled her lips and smiled, and explained, "Mother, this autumn is coming, our family should also buy some bedding and clothes, I have asked the guys in Buzhuang, you need to use so much cloth to make six quilts." Saying that, she leaned towards Yao's mother with a smile on her face, "Mother, I have to trouble you to make more quilts, pillows and clothes for our family when you are idle these days." ”
In fact, if the embroidery guys in the cloth village help sew the quilts and clothes, it won't waste much silver, but this Yao's mother only has to do embroidery every day to pass the time, Lin Yao also knows that she really likes to embroider these things, so she thinks that as long as she is diligent in telling Yao's mother, don't let her get tired.
Sure enough, Yao's mother laughed instantly when she heard this, and nodded, "Yes, our family has also built a new house, and it's time to add some bedding." ”
Back in the house, the two of them collapsed the cloth on the kang, and Yao's mother found that the smooth silk in the cloth accounted for a large part, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Yaoyao, what are you buying so much silk for?" How much money does this have to be wasted? We don't need so much cloth to make clothes, huh? ”
In Yao's mother's thoughts, this silk is an absolute luxury, even if her daughter has saved a lot of money now, she still thinks that this silk is very expensive, and it is already very good to occasionally buy a few horses to make body clothes, how can you buy so many silk to make clothes at once, this is too extravagant and wasteful.
Due to the luxury of silk, Yao's mother never thought of Lin Yao's idea of using this large amount of silk to make quilts.
Lin Yao hooked her lips and smiled, "Mother, I plan to keep only a small part of this silk as a lining, and I plan to use the rest to make quilts." Saying that, Lin Yao stretched out her hand and crossed out a word with some excitement, "Mother, I cut a lot of cloth, and our quilt should be bigger, so that you can add more cotton, and it is also very warm to cover in winter, this satin material is warm and greasy, and it is most comfortable to cover closely." ”
Listening to Lin Yaodi's thoughts, Yao's mother couldn't help but widen her eyes, and she was stunned for a moment, her little girl's idea was too strange, right? First, she had to use silk to make a shirt, and now she had to use silk to make a quilt, which has always been used to show off her decency in Peach Blossom Village, and the silk used in her little girl is just comfortable.
However, there are a lot of strange things that her little girl has done for so many days, and Yao's mother reacted quickly, anyway, her big girl can make money, so if she wants to be comfortable, she can be more comfortable, although she still feels a little distressed in her heart about wasting so much silk and silver, but listening to what her big girl said, she also has some expectations, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, since Yaoyao wants it, then my mother will do it for you." ”
"Well, my mother is the best." Lin Yao knew that Yao's mother had figured it out, and instantly hugged her happily.
After the mother and daughter settled the cloth and cotton, it was not early, Lin Yao began to make lunch, she first cooked a large pot of rice, and then killed the remaining two pheasants sent by Xiao Moyao in the yard, cleaned them and cut them into pieces, ready to fry them with the cabbage that had just grown in the yard for the workers to eat.
Since she and Xiao Moyao got married, he always sent wild things such as pheasants and wild boar to their family every once in a while, so Lin Yao hadn't bought meat for many days.
Then Lin Yao peeled the prawns he had just bought, picked the shrimp line, and put some egg whites, salt, pepper and other condiments on the shrimp he had just bought, and prepared to marinate them for a quarter of an hour.
Then Lin Yao pulled out all the asparagus in the yard, removed the roots and washed them, and cut off the tender stems with a knife, peeled and sliced them for later use.
After doing these things, the rice in the pot was also cooked, and Lin Yao hurriedly took out all the rice in the pot and put it into a large wooden barrel, ready to take it to the workers to eat later.
Then she began to stir-fry, first put the chicken and Chinese cabbage with some chili peppers and other condiments to stir-fry together, and made a spicy stir-fried pheasant with Chinese cabbage, after it was done, Lin Yao brushed the pot clean, and then blanched the asparagus that had just been processed, and put the asparagus and shrimp into the pot together, added some condiments such as oil and salt and began to stir-fry, but after a while, it overflowed with fragrant and delicious taste, and Lin Yao knew that it was cooked when he looked at the color.
This asparagus shrimp is very particular about the heat, if you fry for a long time, the shrimp will be glutinous, and the asparagus will become soft.
So when Lin Yao saw that the dish was ready, he hurriedly put it out and put it in a clean wooden basin, the red and tender shrimp with the tender green asparagus was so good-looking, Lin Yao suddenly drooled out, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed a piece of shrimp and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and immediately smiled and squinted with satisfaction.
Well, it's delicious, the same as the taste of the previous life, fresh and delicious.
Lin Yao and Yao's mother carried the rice and spicy cabbage fried meat to the construction site next door, and after beckoning the workers to eat, they went back and called Xiaodouding out to eat together.
Lin Yao felt a little thirsty after working for most of the day, so he poured some boiled water from a bowl and drank it in small sips to moisten his throat.
Xiao Douding on the side saw the red, green, and green fried asparagus with shrimp, and he couldn't bear to eat a piece of shrimp, and instantly looked at Lin Yao with bright eyes, and exclaimed, "Sister, it's delicious, what is this red thing?" Xiao Douding said as he couldn't help but take a bite in his mouth.
Hearing this, Yao's mother couldn't help but eat a bite of shrimp, and her face was immediately amazing, "Yes, Yaoyao, this red meat is very tender, but it's really delicious." ”
Seeing that the mother and son were so happy and satisfied just because of a meal of fried asparagus with shrimp, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little distressed, in ancient times, because of the backwardness of the fishing industry, this seafood was very expensive in ancient times, and almost no one in Peach Blossom Village had ever seen seafood, so it was reasonable for their mother and son to be surprised.
She explained, "This is shrimp, that is, the meat inside after the skin of the prawns is removed, the shrimp is rich in nutrients and is very good for the body, since you like to eat it, then I will often buy it for you to eat in the future." ”
Saying that, Lin Yao put down the water bowl, then picked up a large plate of shrimp and asparagus and two large bowls of rice that she had just packed into the basket, and covered it with a clean cloth, and then she smiled and said to Yao's mother, "Mother, you eat first, I'll send some to Xiao Moyao, I'll eat at him at noon, you don't have to wait for me." ”
Yao's mother smiled knowingly and nodded, "Okay, remember to be careful when you go up the mountain." ”
"yes, got it." Lin Yao answered, and went out with a basket.
In fact, Lin Yao didn't know where Xiao Moyao's home on the mountain was, but he had recruited too many house-building workers these days, and he had long been the object of conversation among the people in the village after tea and dinner, and even the busy Lin Yao had seen the workers coming in and out a few times a few times.
So Lin Yao looked for the traces, and sure enough, he saw a path stepped out at the bottom of the mountain, Lin Yao walked up along the path, until he reached the outer edge of the mountain, and then saw the construction site under construction.
Seeing that most of the houses had been built, Lin Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, his man's new house was built really fast, obviously more than ten days slower than his own house, and the progress was the same as her house.
And Lin Yao looked at his new house is really big, it looks almost twice the size of her family, there is a small adobe house next to the construction site of Nuoda, Lin Yao guessed that it should be where Xiao Moyao usually lives, and she can't help but feel a little distressed, this Lin family used to be almost the poorest in Peach Blossom Village, but I didn't expect this Xiao Moyao's house to be smaller than her family, how miserable Xiao Moyao lived when he was a child.
It was noon, and more than 30 big men were sitting shirtless next to the construction site, smiling and chatting while eating a big meal.
They saw Lin Yao hurriedly glance at each other, and seeing that no one knew Lin Yao, a middle-aged uncle closest to Lin Yao shouted at Lin Yao, "Little girl, who are you looking for?" ”
Lin Yao smiled at him and replied, "I'm here to find Xiao Moyao, do you know where he is?" ”
"Xiao Moyao? Who among us is Xiao Moyao? There was a young man inside who was a little excited when he saw Lin Yao, and he was busy helping to find someone.
was knocked on the head by the middle-aged uncle on the side, "You stupid brain, Xiao Moyao is our owner, look at your shameful appearance, it's like you haven't seen a woman for many years, it's not a shame." The big men next to him burst into laughter, and Lin Yao couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
The middle-aged uncle looked at Lin Yao again and smiled, pointed to the small earthen house on the side and said, "Girl, our host is eating in that house." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yao nodded at him with a smile and said, "Thank you, uncle." Then she walked towards the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Lin Yao saw Xiao Moyao who was eating at the table, his cheeks were eating very seriously, he had probably just finished his work, and his bare shoulders were covered with sweat.
On the table was a bowl of coarse rice and a plate of meat dishes.
Sensing that there was someone at the door, Xiao Moyao's sharp eyes shot over, and when he saw that it was Lin Yao, his sharp eyes instantly softened, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and walked towards Lin Yao, "Yaoyao, why are you here?" ”
Lin Yao smiled at him innocently and raised the vegetable basket on his arm, "I made a dish and brought it to you to taste." ”
As he spoke, Lin Yao put the basket on the table and took out all the food in it and placed them one by one.
When Xiao Moyao saw the two bowls of rice she took out, he knew that his little girl had come to bring food to herself without eating, and a warm current suddenly crossed her heart.
Lin Yao saw that his face was sweaty, so he took out a small handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him, the small handkerchief was embroidered with a pink hibiscus flower, which was very delicate, "Wipe your sweat quickly." ”
Xiao Moyao didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but smiled evilly, leaned his head towards her, and coaxed in a low voice, "You help me wipe it." ”
