Chapter XII
"Take it, take it."
Wang Ma shook the mud on his body in disgust, splashing all over the ground, so frightened that Mei Sanniang jumped several steps.
She glanced at Wang Ma and saw that his trousers were full of mud mixed with sheep dung, she couldn't help but take out a silk handkerchief, gently covered her mouth and nose with the corner of the silk handkerchief, and squinted at Wang Ma who was wiping her trouser legs.
"Isn't it just a new one?"
It is said that the losers can't marry, if Mei Sanniang gets up, the little property of Wang Ma's family is not enough for her to eat a few luxurious meals.
"Brother Wang Ma, I'll go back first, this sheep is disobedient, see how I teach it."
Mei Sanniang led the sheep, pulled Xue'er and hurried home, and when Wang Ma reacted, his sheep had already been taken away by Mei Sanniang.
On the way home, Mei Xue also asked her: "Mother, did Uncle Wang Ma really send this sheep to our house?" ”
Of course, sending it is just an excuse, but in fact, it is still for women, and this old plan is still a little worse.
"Xue'er, your Uncle Wang Ma said that it was given to us, and after feeding your brother, we will go to the market to exchange something."
"Good!" Mei Xue nodded happily.
The children in these villages are easy to feed, eat less, work more, and are obedient.
Mei Sanniang saved 10,000 hearts, this sheep still has a lot of milk, after returning home, she squeezed a large bucket, and fed the church.
When I first led the sheep home, I cried a lot, and now I have squinted and slept after feeding.
Mei Sanniang took advantage of this effort to boil the milk, she put some shredded radish in the pot, and took out a bag of coarse corn flour, she took out the prepared stone mortar and began to pound, grinding for a while, and after the stopper, she began to use sticky goat's milk and noodles.
When the milk was formed, she used a knife to cut it into several pieces, but unfortunately there were no breadcrumbs, which would have been perfect if she could have coated them with a layer of egg wash and breadcrumbs.
This month happens to be a good time for rapeseed flowers to bloom, and after a few days, you can squeeze rapeseed oil, and it takes a lot of oil to fry milk cubes alone, not to mention their family, even other families can't use oil a few times a month.
But now it's different, with goat milk, can't you change to rapeseed oil?
She went to Xu Erzhu's house to change a little, although Xu Erzhu said no, but after all, this is not the material that he can be the master alone, if his mother knew about it, she would not be able to go to her house to make trouble, so she exchanged goat's milk with Xu Erzhu.
She poured rapeseed oil into the pot, and the fragrance of rapeseed oil permeated the whole room, Mei Xue sat in front of the stove and took several sips, because she had never smelled any strong smell of oil, and she had a stuffy illusion in a trance.
"Mother, can we eat oil too?"
In the past, my mother was never willing to pour so much oil, every time it was boiled, and only a few drops of oil were put in the dish, and it was over the mouth.
Her mother once told her that eating these things in her mouth is just a mouthful of addiction, and it is useless, and she can't spend those unjust money indiscriminately.
When they have enough money, they can eat meat, every time my mother says this, but she knows that her mother is also very difficult, and a bottle of oil needs to be planned for a long time.
Sometimes Mei Xue even wonders why she is hungry every day, if she eats less, her mother can save a lot of expenses, and her brother can eat more.
If there was no her at home, maybe my mother wouldn't have worked so hard.
This thought has always been in her mind, and every time she can't open the pot at home, there is always such a voice that keeps reminding her.
So this time she was a little shocked when she saw her mother pour half a bottle of oil, but her mother's answer was unexpected.
"Eat well, so that we can grow up quickly."
She never heard the word "cumbersome" in her mother's mouth.
It was because of this that the guilt in her heart grew stronger. But in front of oil, she is still a child, full of yearning for oil and meat, just smelling it makes people laugh.
After burning the oil, Mei Sanniang also reminded Mei Xue: "Xue'er, curl up a little, be careful of oil splashes." ”
Mei Xue grinned, revealing her cute big tiger teeth, she hurriedly hid next to the stove, with a bright smile on her face, and her eyes looked straight into the pot.
I saw Mei Sanniang pick up a piece and throw it into the pot, the milk block gurgled in an instant, and there were oil flowers around it.
This voice sounded straight and comfortable, and it kept ringing, Mei Xue stood over curiously, rubbed her little hands, Mei Sanniang saw this and said, "Aren't you afraid of oil splashing on your face?" My girl is so good-looking, if she has a fancy face, how bad it will be! ”
As soon as the little face was washed, Mei Xue, the child, looked strange.
"Look at our Xue'er, our little face is as tender as if we can pinch out water."
"In the future, I will definitely marry a good family."
Although it is too early to say, the girl will eventually leave her mother's house and go to her home, a warm and happy home.
"Will the mother stay with Xue'er until Xue'er finds her other half?"
At this time, Mei Sanniang was silent, and it took a few seconds for her to respond: "Of course you will, you will definitely wear the most beautiful wedding dress when the time comes." ”
Although Mei Xue is young, her mind is more mature than other children, and she can guess a thing or two just by looking at the expressions of adults, and children of this age are not easy to deceive.
During the time when Mei Sanniang hesitated, Mei Xue decided that her mother had the idea of leaving, and the figure she saw that night was true.
Now she is even more sure!
She never thought that her mother would sneak away with other men, she also thought so before she met Zhantang's father, and now she no longer expects her to have a father.
Although Zhantang's father was very good to her, he was suspicious, and always felt that his mother should give birth to a child for him, but his mother didn't want it, so he forced his mother.
These are all things she heard secretly, and Zhantang's father at that time was very good to them, but Mei Xue knew it in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of her, a child.
During the period when the mother was preparing for pregnancy, Zhantang's father was very good to his mother, but when his mother was about to give birth, Zhantang's father did not accompany his mother.
In the first month of her life, her mother quarreled with Zhantang's father many times, the reason is very simple, Zhantang's father framed her mother for wearing broken shoes, and wanted to beat her mother, every time she cried and begged her grandmother for help, grandma couldn't stand it and helped, and finally persuaded her, but she had already hurt her anger.
Since then, Mei Sanniang washed her face with tears, almost had a difficult birth when she returned to the church, and the child cried all day long, I don't know if it was because she was infected by Mei Sanniang in her mother's womb, and she cried at every turn.
Fortunately, when he returned to the church and recognized people, as long as he woke up, he would not cry as long as he saw Mei Sanniang.
Thinking of this, Mei Xue was even more reluctant to let her mother leave and run away with other men.
"Cher, get the bowl!"
The hurried voice startled Mei Xue back to her train of thought.
At this moment, Mei Sanniang took out a piece of milk with chopsticks and sandwiched it into the bowl that Xue'er brought.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this freshly baked milk cube is hot and hot."
Mei Sanniang didn't forget to put a few shredded carrots on the milk block, the shredded carrots themselves are used to remove the fishy, but after filtering, there is no reason to waste it, now there is a shortage of food at home, not to mention a green onion, even a wild vegetable She can't waste it.
"Looks good, right? Wait for it to dry and eat. ”
"My mother has done it many times, and she usually likes to study recipes, and now someone tastes it with me."
After speaking, she looked at her with a pair of confused eyes, and then Mei Sanniang reacted, how could she have done these things before, in the long run, she was idle at home after playing taekwondo, studying recipes.
Seeing that the little guy was confused, she explained: "Before I gave birth to you, I came to wash and stir-fry vegetables, and I naturally lacked more than I cooked, so you didn't understand the new recipe when you were young, and you will know it later." ”
When Mei Sanniang said this, Mei Xue nodded, hugged her sweetly, and for a while Mei Sanniang was relieved to stop Xue'er's waist, and looked forward to letting Xue'er taste her craftsmanship.
"Come and taste it, it's the first time my mother has done it so perfectly."
Mei Xue took a small bite, the delicacy went straight to the back of her head, she licked her fingers and tasted it, she had never eaten such a delicious thing, the taste of vegetable oil was very similar, and the milk cubes made of goat's milk were not fishy at all.
After she took a small bite, she handed the rest of the part to her mother's mouth, Mei Sanniang bent down and took a bite, before chewing it, the milk fragrance exploded directly, the skin was crispy and green, and the inside was soft and glutinous and sweet.
"Is it delicious? Cher. ”
Mei Xue nodded.
Mei Sanniang does these not just to eat, the key is to sell them, and it costs a lot of money to go to the market, and you can't get money just by exchanging sheep.
Sell a good price before going to the market, so that you can buy some candy that Cher loves to eat, and by the way, buy a few chickens to raise, and keep them for meat or eggs later.
The cost of this goat's milk is high, but she mixed a lot of corn flour, except for her artificial words, she thought about it, there is no other dry food at home now, it is better to exchange these goat milk for some eggs, or for a little sweet potato, potato, and seeds.
There is one person she must visit, that is the old man Li in the village, the old man Li is alone, no children, no daughters and no wife, when Mei Sanniang squatted at the entrance of the village before, the old man Li will give her some food when he sees this.
Thanks to Old Man Li, Mei Sanniang would not starve to death at the entrance of the village.
Now it's time for Mei Sanniang to go and see Old Man Li, so she has a surname with him, and she has something to do with him.
And the old man Li's family has been a farmer for generations, and she is proficient in planting and breeding, she is a biology graduate, but she only knows some plants, and if she wants to talk about planting, she still lacks relevant knowledge, so she still needs to ask Old Man Li for advice.
She had read a lot of books before, as long as it was about plants, and even some herbs.
Therefore, she can understand the herbal compendium left by Li Zhantang's family, and she also knows some medicinal materials.
Thinking of this, she put the prepared milk cubes in the basket one by one, "Xue'er will go and change the food." ”
Mei Xue followed up with a fart, and asked her mother curiously: "Mother, what do we want that milk block for?" Why don't you keep it for yourself? ”
The food itself at home is not enough, if you exchange it for food, I don't know how many things can be exchanged, after all, this thing is a small piece, I don't know if anyone will change it.
"Silly child, this milk block will be sour after a long time, so we can only change it to other things that are easy to store, rest assured, there are still a lot of them left at home, and my mother knows that you are greedy."
