039 is still young
Li Zheng took his daughter and son, Gu Qing was alone, and a group of people measured and recorded, which had to be written clearly on the document, and then it had to be taken to the county government for sealing, so that this land would really belong to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing didn't understand this, so she didn't follow, and stayed at home to cook.
She asked Gu Yu to go out and catch three fat ducks back, the three hens stewed the soup directly, put some mushrooms collected at home, two or three ducks made a ginger duck, picked a handful of green vegetables that had just emerged in the yard and fried them in lard, and then took out 20 eggs from the cabinet and spread a super large egg cake.
She went into the back room and opened the cabinet of grain, which was unlocked, and there was still a lot of food in it.
Originally, she wanted to use white flour and rice as the staple food, but after thinking about it, she took out some cornmeal and millet, and planned to make some corn tortillas, and then cook some dry small rice that was neither hard nor soft.
Gu Qing prepared all the ingredients, and the procedure of putting it in the pot was handed over to Zhu Han.
Seeing that the food was almost cooked, she said, "Nuonuo, go and call your grandpa and grandma and grandpa Lizheng to eat." ”
It happened that at this time, Li Zheng walked in with a land deed: "A total of forty-one acres of land, which is thirty-two taels of silver and eight yuan." ”
Old Madam Gu followed in and said, "Qing'er bought forty acres of land in one go, shouldn't you erase the eight yuan?" ”
"Old sister-in-law, if you don't say this, I will also erase the eight coins." Li Zheng handed over the land deed, "Your Dong Rong is a child, let Dong Rong see if there is anything wrong with this land deed, if it is no problem, go to the town tomorrow morning to stamp it." ”
"What's the use of a child, Aunt Li Zheng or I'll come and see, I'm a little better than a child." Mo Li took it and took a look, basically there was nothing wrong, folded it and solemnly handed it to Li Zheng's hand.
"You're a showman?" Rizheng was a little surprised.
"Aunt Lizheng, you wait!" Mo Li ran out in a hurry, ran back in a hurry, and handed a piece of Xiucai to Li Zheng.
"Aunt Lizheng, you can see clearly!" Mo Li was a little proud, but also a little indifferent.
"Oops! I didn't expect you kid to have two brushes, you are actually a showman at such a young age, and I actually have a showman hidden in Gujia Village! Li Zheng was holding the disc in both hands for fear of breaking it.
"Good, good!" Li Zheng said three good words in a row, and then reluctantly returned the discs to Mo Li, and then ran to tell Mo Li to keep it alive and not to break it.
Gu Qing said with a smile: "Aunt Lizheng, grandma, stay and have a meal, today is a big happy event to buy land, it's too late to go to the town to buy vegetables, just eat the rest of the family." ”
When Li Zheng and Mrs. Gu entered the courtyard, they had already smelled the smell of meat.
The two looked at the hall, good fellow, a table was full of food, a large pot of ginger duck, a large pot of chicken soup, and a large plate of egg cakes, even the plate of unsightly green vegetables was full of oil flowers, which was really more hearty than the New Year's food.
When Mrs. Gu opened her mouth, she wanted to scold a loser.
But think about it carefully, Gu Qing is sick, and it is hard to make money, and it is understandable to eat more chickens and ducks for this big family, and the green vegetables are just grown in the yard, as for the eggs, they are also born by the hens in the family, the only pity is cornmeal and millet, and you have to eat at least three or four catties for this meal......
Forget it, the land that Gu Qing can buy now is not bad, and it is not in the way to eat a meal.
Old Mrs. Gu suddenly turned against the guest: "Lizheng, sit down." ”
At this time, Gu Nuo called the old man Gu over, the two of them sat down at the table, the old lady Gu Qing and the others also sat down, Mo Li and the three of them took Gu Nuo and Gu Yu to eat with a bowl, there was no way that the table was too small to sit down, so they simply went to the stove room with a bowl to eat, and all the dishes were left behind.
Li Zheng tasted Gu Qing's ginger duck for the first time, and after taking a bite, the whole person was stunned: "Our family has also eaten duck a few times, but the taste of the duck meat is not as good as yours, this is also too delicious." ”
Gu Nuo muttered with a mouth in his mouth and said, "Aunt Lizheng, my brother Mo said that this ginger duck is better than what is made in the restaurant in the town." ”
Li Zheng ate two mouthfuls of meat and didn't dare to put down chopsticks again, this year, everyone is hungry for meat, so she helped measure the ground, how can she eat meat for nothing in other people's houses, he lowered his head and ate corn and corn tortillas.
As a result, Gu Qing saw it, and couldn't help but say that the bowl was full of meat for her, and there was even a big duck leg.
In the past, he could only eat three or four minutes full, but this meal was eaten by Gu Qing without stopping, and Li Zheng put down his chopsticks very satisfied.
Gu Qing said that she didn't want to pick up the vegetables, but she didn't do it, and she didn't dare to stretch out her chopsticks after eating the meat in her bowl.
After the meal, Gu Qing took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng has the money from the sale of land in his hand, this is the public money of Gujia Village, and he is really afraid that someone will steal it in the middle of the night.
Li Zheng whispered: "Gu Niangzi, hide the silver in your hand well, don't be targeted and stolen......"
Send Li Zheng away.
Dong Rong took the initiative to collect and wash the dishes, these jobs used to be done in turns, but Dong Rong felt guilty and rushed to work every day.
In the past, he thought that he was a child, and he felt that Gao Moli was equal to the three of them, but since he knew that Yang Pei and Zhu Han were all children, and Moli, who was more than a year younger than him, was a Xiucai, he found out that the geniuses of Yunshan Academy were all lies.
He squatted on the edge of the wooden basin, washed all the dishes and chopsticks, then passed the water again, took them into the stove and stacked them neatly, and then covered them with a dustpan, so that rats would not crawl in the middle of the night.
Gu Qing was about to go into the yard to do chores, but was stopped by Aunt Zhao: "What, Gu Niangzi, I'll discuss something with you, that's it, don't your husbands teach Gu Yu and them to read and write every night, can I be cheeky and let Erya come over to learn together...... Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you, I'll pay ......"
It just so happened that Dong Rong was washing dishes in the yard.
Gu Qing beckoned him out, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, if you ask him about this, I can't be the master." ”
So Aunt Zhao said this again, and Dong Rong nodded: "Just bring a stool and sit down and listen together, it's not a big deal." ”
"It's not yet the autumn harvest, and my family has no food." Aunt Zhao's face was uncomfortable, "I'll let the second father chop a few loads of dry firewood to pad it first, and then make up for it later, okay?" ”
Dong Rong didn't have time to refuse.
There was another person at the door of the house, it was Mrs. Zhou, in her early seventies, with gray hair, but she was still walking steadily.
Mrs. Zhou held a cloth bag in her hand, shook out more than 20 yuan and stuffed it directly into Dong Rong's hand: "The town costs one or two silver a month, my wife can't afford so much money, but my requirements are not high, just let the loach know a few words, the money is for you, I will let the loach come over and learn with it at night." ”
After Mrs. Zhou said this, she left.
Aunt Zhao turned around and carried two loads of firewood from her firewood room and threw them into the courtyard of Gu Qing's house, for fear of being rejected, so she left after throwing them away.
