Chapter 11: Before Appearing in Man
Tang Juan and Qin Si thanked the village chief, and left some cloth as a thank you gift, and then joined hands to see their newly added five acres of land.
This is the first time that Qin Si has officially appeared in front of the villagers after getting married, and the women who came out to wash clothes and do work are staring at Qin Si with straight eyes.
"Yo! This is the door-to-door husband of the girl? He's really handsome. ”
"I heard that he is only sixteen, a few years younger than the girl who is a girl, and the scholar looks white, but he can't work in the field at first glance, what's the use."
"Look at what you said, if you are admitted to Xiucai, it will not be better than your big cow."
"Your eyes are hot? Let's wait for him to pass the exam, and when he passes, you can also let your daughter marry a scholar. ”
“……”
Qin Si had a light smile on his face, hugged Tang Juan tightly and walked in front of everyone, Tang Juan was a little uncomfortable, wanted to withdraw his hand, but was firmly grasped by Qin Si, and stood on tiptoe to Tang Juan's face, "Don't hide, I and Wanwan are husband and wife, what are you afraid of." ”
Tang Juan's palms were hot, and he glared at Qin Si with disgust, "Don't tell people to see jokes, go quickly." ”
Qin Si walked slowly, "I'm weak, I can't walk fast, Wanwan walks slowly, just introduce me to who this is, lest I lose my courtesy when I go out in the future." ”
Tang Juan thought about it too, lowered his voice and said to Qin Si, and suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two with a scream, which frightened Tang Juan's heart a few times, but subconsciously blocked Qin Si behind him.
Qin Si was very stressed by his own lady, and looked at her from behind her, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, let's go first." Tang Juan pulled people to speed up their pace.
Qin Si couldn't help but look back a few times, a skinny woman was pushed out, pressed to the ground and beaten, and couldn't help frowning, "Who is that?" ”
When she got home, Tang Juan closed the courtyard door, and then explained to him, "Her name is Xinghua, and she used to live next door to my grandmother's house, and she has been beaten since she married this Jinbao money." ”
"Why did you hit her?" Qin Si looks down on men who beat women the most.
Tang Juan knew that Qin Si loved to be clean, scooped hot water and washed his hands for the two, with an indignant look on his face, "Why else, if you lose your gambling money, get drunk, get angry outside, you can fight for any reason." ”
"Sister Xinghua is one year older than me, she has been working neatly since she was a child, the work in the field is good, and the embroidery is also good, but she has many children, there are only four or five girls of the two generations, no matter how capable Sister Xinghua is, she still has to marry, Jinbao Qian gave a bride price of more than one or two silver, and she took Sister Xinghua away without even a banquet."
"Everyone in the village knows who this Jinbao money is, and they can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble quickly, but Sister Xinghua's family has a lot of people and few places, so she points to marrying her daughter to fill it, and she can't stop it."
Qin Si slowly held Tang Xuan's hand and soaked it in the warm water, "Since you are selling your daughter, why did you sell it for one or two dollars?" ”
Tang Juan sighed, "Jinbao Qian is a muddy person, he can also hunt, his fists and feet are very heavy, and Sister Xinghua's family is afraid of touching the mold." ”
Qin Si saw that she was unhappy and regretted asking about it, the person holding her shook his hand, pulled her into the house, and took a dry cloth towel to wipe her hands, "What are we going to eat at noon?" ”
"Hungry? I'll cook later. Tang Juan's hand was held by the young man, and it was warm.
"I'm not hungry, but I'm greedy, Wanwan refuses to give me good food, every day I drink white porridge and eat light, so greedy that I want to take a bite of the salted meat hanging on the beam of our house." Qin Si told the truth.
He already has a heavy taste, and he is really indifferent these days.
Tang Juan wanted to be hungry for him, and he was very embarrassed, "The doctor said no." ”
Qin Si hugged her coquettishly, rubbed her head against Tang Juan's shoulder socket, and stretched her clear voice, "Wanwan-so Wanwan, will you let me have a meal?" Just one meal. ”
Where can Tang Juan stand this, every time Qin Si talks to her softly, she can't wait to agree.
At noon, she thought about Qin Si's gluttony, went to the backyard vegetable field and dragged a handful of shallots, began to chop the meat filling, and prepared to make dumplings to eat at noon, and then adjust a dipping sauce to ensure that she was satisfied.
"Xianggong, do you like to eat raw meat dumplings or cooked meat dumplings?" Tang Juan asked in the kitchen.
Qin Si was doing Tai Chi in the courtyard, and when he heard this, he thought for a while, "I like to eat cooked meat." ”
He always felt that cooked meat dumplings were more flavorful, fresher and tastier than raw meat.
"Cheng, Xianggong, what are you doing?" Tang Juan looked curiously while boiling water.
"This is called Bagua Taijiquan, it can be exercised, I am weak now, and I have to recover as soon as possible to have children." Qin Si said seriously.
Tang Juan was helpless, "Then you be careful, go back and rest when you're tired." ”
I really regret mentioning this, and now I can't leave every sentence.
"Hey, I'm not tired, I'm going to accompany you." Qin Si gasped slightly, feeling the weakness and soreness of his limbs.
The water in the pot boiled and the meat was cooked, and Tang Wan forked it out and put it aside to cool, and began to roll out the dumpling skin.
She pressed the dough in one hand and rubbed the rolling pin in the other, and the dough was so obedient in her hand that it became a palm-sized round dough sheet after a few swirls.
Qin Si put away his fist, went back to the house to drink a bowl of warm water, and sat down to help Tang Juan, "I will too, I will also make lace dumplings, ingot-shaped dumplings." ”
"Really?" Tang Juan smiled and found him a thinner rolling pin, "I will only wrap ordinary ones, and the Xiang Guild will cook?" ”
"That is, I can't carry a knife now, and when I get well, I will cook the food at home in the future, and I will be able to." Qin Si took it with a smile.
This is not blowing, he is a modern bachelor, and he can't cook.
The husband and wife together, dozens of dumpling skins are good in the blink of an eye, Tang Juan changed the board to chop the meat, Tang Boss came back from the mountain, listened to the movement and knew that it was making dumplings, put down the back basket, and took out a pheasant from it, "Ming'er, I'll sell it in the city, but what else do I want to buy." ”
Pheasants are more expensive than pork, but the game in the mountains is almost beaten, and the next cover may not be able to catch anything, which is also a mistake to find for several days before catching one.
Tang Juan was adjusting the meat filling, and dipped it a little bit with chopsticks for Qin Si to taste, Qin Si smacked his lips, poured some soy sauce again, and hurriedly came out when he heard the words, "Dad, can I go with you, I have some spices for cooking meat that I want to buy." ”
"Do you need spices to cook meat?" Tang Juan was curious.
"Lady, you have to add salt to pickle vegetables, and I don't need spices to make braised meat for fire." Qin Si said with a smile.
He used to be very good at making these snacks, and he was also very hungry and suddenly remembered that he could try to make lo-mei.
It's okay to eat it for his own family or sell it in the city, but it's inconvenient for him to go and see it first.
Donald nodded, "You can go if you're fine." ”
"It's okay, I'm almost ready, so it's decided." After Qin Si finished speaking, he went back to help Tang Juan make dumplings.
The next day, Donald borrowed an ox cart from the village to take Qin Si to the city to buy things.
