Chapter 169 Lime Pickling (Three Watches)
The old lady had never made a carriage before, and she thought that only large families could afford to sit on it.
She was afraid of getting dirty, which would make her very uneasy.
However, under Xia Tiannuan's persuasion, the old lady still got into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, Xia Tiannuan chatted with the old lady and learned that the old lady's family lived at the end of the village.
She went to sell duck eggs, also to make some money to buy some brown sugar so that she could go back to her daughter-in-law who was in confinement to make up for her body.
When she got out of the car, Mrs. Jiang was very grateful to Xia Tiannuan.
Xia Tiannuan said: "Grandma Jiang, if you have any more duck eggs, just send them to our house, and I will give copper coins on the spot." ”
"At the price of two pennies, Grandma Jiang, you don't have to go to the town to set up a stall, and if I buy duck eggs, I don't have to go to the town for a special trip."
"I take as many duck eggs as I want, and I use them to be useful."
Old Lady Jiang couldn't believe what she was hearing, but her eyes were red with excitement.
Xia Tiannuan also told Mrs. Jiang where she lived.
After finishing speaking, Xia Tiannuan and Gu Luoheng went back to their residence.
The house was also a six-room mud house, enough for a group of them.
Chen Lizheng said that this house was built by people in the village before, but the family moved away, and before moving away, they handed over the title deed of the house to Li Zheng to sell on their behalf.
Xia Tiannuan and they spent six taels of silver to buy this house.
If you want to build an existing house, it will take a long time, so it is better to buy a house in the village.
When Xia Tiannuan and Gu Luoheng went back, Mrs. Xia and the big guys had already cleaned the house inside and out.
But they still use their own bedding.
Yang pulled a rope in the yard and put the futon on it to dry.
Cui Shi and Yue Huayin also washed their clothes and dried them on a rope.
Dabao and Erbao also wanted to help, and they sat obediently in front of the basin to wash vegetables.
As soon as he saw Xia Tiannuan coming back, Dabao Erbao hurriedly ran towards Xia Tiannuan.
"My mother is back, my mother is back."
"Mother, mother!"
The two treasures ran towards Xia Tian Nuan, and their little hands hugged Xia Tian Nuan's legs and stuck to them.
It's like ignoring the dad next to him.
Xia Tiannuan squatted down and took two sugar gourds to them, "Come, this is for you to eat." ”
Liangbao likes to eat sugar gourds, but Xia Tiannuan is afraid that they will eat bad teeth, so he only occasionally buys them one to eat.
Liangbao was very happy, showing a face with a small dimple, and smiling very happily.
However, the two of them were reluctant to eat, so they gave Xia Tian a warm food first.
Xia Tian Nuan took a symbolic bite.
She won't say no, so she can develop some eating habits in the little ones.
Doesn't eat alone selfishly.
They know how to share food.
Seeing that Xia Tiannuan ate it, the two treasures were taken to Mrs. Xia to eat.
Even if you like to eat it very much, you are willing to give it to your family.
Everyone's hearts are melting.
Of course, I was reluctant to eat it, so let the two treasures eat.
Xia Tiannuan didn't expect that in just one morning, everyone would clean up their homes so clean and refreshing.
You know, when they came in the morning, there were still some weeds growing in the yard.
Tables and chairs were covered with dust.
But now it's very clean and tidy.
Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "Everyone did it together, and your aunt and her family also came to help, and they cleaned it three times, and it was naturally clean." ”
"And these stools, made by your aunt's hand, for the big guys."
Although the furniture in this house can also be used, the stools are really not enough.
Chen An is also a carpenter in the village, and he can do carpenter work, so he didn't go to the field in the morning, so he made a few stools at home.
Xia Tian Nuan said: "Uncle has a heart. ”
She could see that her uncle was very good to her aunt, so her grandmother was relieved.
Xia Tiannuan said: "Let's cook and eat first, and call my aunt and her family over to eat together." ”
Mrs. Xia said: "Your aunt, they went to the field to pick some kidney beans and eggplants, and some corn, and went back, they don't eat here." ”
Xia Tiannuan said: "It's okay, I'll send some over later." ”
My aunt's younger siblings are very nice, and she likes it.
It's just too thin, so you still have to eat more to make up for your body.
Xia Tiannuan thought for a while and said, "Make pork ribs and corn soup at noon." ”
Xia Tiannuan plans to make more, so that a large pot can be held.
Xia Tiannuan was about to cook, Cui Shi said: "Nuan Nuan, I'll do it, I saw you make pork rib soup a few times before, and you know how to make it." ”
Cui's also wanted to do more work to help Xia Tiannuan, seeing that she was busy, she felt distressed when she looked at it.
Cui's family now treats Xia Tiannuan as their own child.
Xia Tiannuan smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Cui, you are also very delicious in cooking, and you have talent." ”
Xia Tiannuan found that cooking is actually a talent, and some people are good at making good food, and they can remember it after doing it once.
Some people can't remember how many times they do it, and even if they tell her the steps, they may taste different.
For example, her mother, her mother is really not good at cooking.
However, her grandmother, her mother-in-law, and Aunt Cui are all very good at cooking.
Cui Bingye picked up a bundle of firewood and went to the stove to prepare to light the fire.
Xia Zhenshan went to the mountains in the morning to chop some firewood, and Xia Eryong chopped a lot.
Xia Dayong went to the village to pick up two jars of water.
It is more troublesome to draft water in the village, so you have to go to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water yourself.
Yang looked at so many duck eggs in Xia Tian's warm back basket, and was stunned, "Nuan Nuan, what are you doing with so many duck eggs?" ”
Xia Tiannuan said: "Mother, I will teach you to marinate duck eggs in a while, and if they are pickled, we can make money from this." ”
As he spoke, Xia Tiannuan handed a small bag of tea leaves in his hand to Yang and said, "Mother, there are two pots at home, you use the other pot to add water and this black tea leaf to boil water, I can use it." ”
Then, Xia Tiannuan was about to go out.
"Nuan Nuan, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find something."
Their village was built against a mountain, at the foot of the mountain.
Therefore, it is also convenient for Xia Tian Nuan to go up the mountain.
She went around the hill and found a few roses.
Xia Tiannuan's expression moved, and he picked the roses and put them into the space.
These petals are useful.
Then she actually found lime powder in a place at the foot of the mountain, and she brought it back.
To pickle Songhua eggs, you need lime.
When Xia Tiannuan went home, Cui and Yang were busy at the stove.
Cui's was stewing pork rib soup, and Yang's was boiling black tea leaves according to Xia Tiannuan's words.
She muttered: "I don't know what your sister wants to cook black tea for, I heard that the black tea of the Great Yan Dynasty is very expensive, so it costs a lot of silver." ”
Xia Eryong was lighting the fire for the Yang family, and she said: "Mother, what my sister does naturally has her reasons, it must be a good thing." ”
Yang saw that his son was protecting his sister, and he was also happy, and joked with a smile: "Look at you, I will mumble a few words, and you will not be happy to listen to it, and your heart is towards your sister." ”
"Of course I'm towards my sister."
While talking, Xia Tiannuan came back, Xia Eryong looked at it and said happily: "Sister, you are back, have you found something?" ”
