014 The hand of the head of the house
It's not that I haven't encountered this kind of thing before, the Gu family's ladies slapped their thighs, and then sat on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, howling and crying...... Today, I didn't spill and left Gu Hui's mother and daughter angrily, this is not quite like the Gu family's lady's style of doing things.
Cheng Wanwan led the two home.
Along the way, Gu Yu and Mo Li didn't dare to come out, for fear of being scolded severely.
When they arrived at the door of the house, as soon as the two of them inhaled, they smelled the strong aroma of meat and vegetables, and their saliva couldn't stop flowing down.
Gu Qing poured a basin of water and came over: "Wash your hands and prepare to eat." ”
Mo Li was stunned: "The head of the family doesn't punish me?" ”
Gu Qing said lightly: "You're right, what are you punishing you for." ”
Is there anything wrong with Mo Li being good-looking? It's only to blame the two mothers and daughters for being shameless, they want a husband, they don't spend money to marry, and they still want to rob her for nothing.
It would be noon, and the people of the old Gu family were quite neat, the men were resting, the women were sewing and washing, and the children were cleaning up the wild vegetables they had dug up in the morning.
In the morning, Gu Yu sent two catties of pork and a pig's trotters, which really shocked Mrs. Gu.
I heard that it was Gu Qing's bastard who bought her a bunch of meat for her silver hairpin and came back, and the old lady was so angry that she almost didn't come up in one breath.
Sure enough, it was a loser, and the silver hairpin that her daughter exchanged for her life on the battlefield was actually sold by her.
Old Mrs. Gu was holding the meat at that time, and her face was dark. At the beginning, because the eldest daughter and his wife made great achievements abroad, they took a lot of silver for the family, which gave her money to marry her two sons and daughters-in-law home, and fortunately she married her daughter-in-law for her two sons and came back, otherwise she would have died several years early if she had such a bastard granddaughter.
"A silver hairpin can be exchanged for at least two hundred copper plates, and it can buy dozens of catties of rations, this loser actually buys meat!" Mrs. Gu looked at the pig's trotters made by the second daughter-in-law on the table with a face full of regret, as for the two catties of meat, Mrs. Gu was reluctant to cook them, so she salted them and cut them into slices and hung them in the sun, keeping them for later to eat.
"I'm full of meat today, what will I eat tomorrow, I was still digging up the stinky grass that chickens and ducks don't eat a few days ago, so I forgot? This bastard thing never plans for the days to come, it's really sad. ”
"The eldest niece used to have good things, but she never honored her father." Zhao San's daughter-in-law said slowly, "I'm wondering, does the eldest niece regret separating and want to move back?" ”
Now every family is short of food, and the eldest niece's family must have no food, so she can only worry about the family's idea.
Coax the old lady with a little bit of meat, and then move back to the old house, so that you don't have to worry about starvation.
Zhao San's daughter-in-law pursed her lips, there is not much food in the cellar at home, if the eldest niece and six people move back, they can eat five points full now, and I am afraid that they can only eat three points full in the future.
"The separation was made at the beginning, and it was not so easy to move back!"
Old Lady Gu snorted coldly.
It's not impossible to move back, but you have to listen to her grandma for everything in the future.
I used to worry about what this bastard was doing, but now that I know what she's going to do, there's nothing this meat can't eat.
The old lady beckoned to everyone in the courtyard: "Come and have lunch!" ”
After a large pot of pig's trotters stewed with mushrooms from the yard, the people in the yard didn't have much heart to work, and ten pairs of black eyes stared at the braised pork tightly, swallowing saliva in unison.
The old lady beckoned, and the six babies rushed over like the first to fly......
Gu Qing's family of six sat down at the wooden table, on which was a large bowl of braised pork, a large bowl of braised pork ribs, a stir-fried green vegetables, and six bowls of white rice.
Only the sound of whirring dry rice could be heard on the table, and after a while, the two bowls of meat were snatched up, and even the soup was poured into the bowl by Gu Nuo and eaten clean with white rice.
"It's delicious!"
"I've never eaten meat so good!"
"It turns out that this is braised pork, braised pork ribs!"
The five of them leaned on the chair and touched their stomachs, looking satisfied.
Zhu Han knew how the braised pork was made, after the lard was boiled out, a large handful of brown sugar was thrown down, the fragrance of the sugar was fried, and the precious soy sauce was also put in, and then a large plate of meat was poured down, the meat was wrapped in syrup, the meat was already delicious, plus so much oil and sugar, if it was not delicious, it would be really unreasonable.
This plate of green vegetables is also fried with lard, and a bowl of green vegetables is placed here, and she only learned today that the green vegetables can be so delicious.
After the meal, Zhu Han got up to clean up the mess, and Gu Qing took out the coarse cloth clothes he bought today and distributed them to everyone.
Gu Nuo and Gu Yu hugged their new clothes and happily went straight to Gu Qing's arms:
"Eldest sister, you are so good!"
"Eldest sister, I will definitely listen to you in the future."
"The head of the house, how did you buy new clothes?" Mo was puzzled.
Zhu Han knelt down directly: "Master of the family, I will work hard, I will eat less in the future, I will not eat meat, please don't drive us away......"
When Mo Li and Yang Pei heard this, it turned out that the head of the family bought them new clothes, and they knelt down one after another, "Didn't the head of the house say that mushrooms can be sold for money?" We're going to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms now......."
"Stop!" Gu Qing grabbed Yang Pei's hands, which had been working in the fields since he married her.
Yang Pei works hard every day, he does the heaviest work every day, but he eats the least and the worst, and he is obviously a big boy who is only a teenager, but he does the work of a man in his prime every day.
"Our family is dressed like beggars, no good clothes, I am kind to you so misunderstood, it's just that, I'll take it to the town and return it to buy wine and drink......"
"Don't, don't!" Several people grabbed Gu Qing, lowered their eyebrows and said, "We wear it, we wear it." ”
"That's right!" Gu Qing let go of Yang Pei's rough hand, "The meal is also full, Yang Pei, you and Zhu Han will rest at home first, and then go to the field when the sun is gone, Mo Li, Gu Yu, Gu Nuo, the three of you will go to the mountains with me to pick mushrooms!" ”
"Great!" As soon as Mo Li heard about picking mushrooms, the momentum immediately came, picking mushrooms is good, picking mushrooms can be sold for money, yesterday the two baskets were sold for 1600 Wen, that is more than one or two silver, if a few of them have two baskets per person every day, wouldn't it be rich?
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and followed Gu Qing up the mountain.
After Gu Qing left, Yang Pei and Zhu Han held their new clothes for a long time and refused to stop.
Especially Yang Pei, the hands that were held by the head of the family just now are now crispy and numb, and the hands of the head of the house are so soft, delicate and smooth.
Yang Pei thought about it and felt a little hot all over his body.......
Gu Qing spent a lot of money in the town this morning, although there are still more than 1,700 copper plates left, but mushrooms are seasonal things, there are many and poor people in the family, and the house is leaking everywhere.
Now she urgently needs to pick mushrooms and sell them for money, and she needs to have money in her hands to feel at ease.
The afternoon sun was very scorching, and the leaves of the rice in the fields were curling, and many of them had dried up.
All the way to the mountain, there are trees on the mountain, a shade, then I feel that it is not so hot, at this time, many women and children in the village come up to the mountain to dig wild vegetables and go back to feed the chickens and ducks.
The wild vegetables that the chickens and ducks can eat at the bottom of the mountain have long been dug up, and most people have to go halfway up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and some people go deeper into the mountains, hoping to find some mushrooms and fungus and wild fruits to eat by themselves.
Gu Qing naturally went deep into the mountains.
Her goal was mushrooms, preferably those that grew brightly, and no one in the village dared to touch them.
