Chapter Thirty-Nine: Returning Home to Visit Relatives
It can be seen that Gu Xia's status in Jiang's mother's heart is in front of several sons.
"Xiao Xia, you're right, my mother has the craft of embroidery. When your mother has finished the new clothes of your younger brothers, she will embroider some patterns on the juanpa, and then you will help your mother take them to the city and sell them. It should sell for a good price. ”
"Mother, that's it! You don't have to rush to embroider, and making money is not physically important, you have to do what you can. Don't overwork and hurt your body in order to make money from embroidery, and the gains outweigh the losses. Gu Xia reminded uneasily.
I have to say that Gu Xia is very accurate in seeing people. Jiang Mu did have the idea of staying up late to make embroidery. She wants to show herself and also earn money for her family.
But after listening to her daughter-in-law's words, she dispelled the idea of staying up late to make embroidery.
"Xiao Xia is right, the body is the capital, and without a good body, everything is in vain. You live so transparently at such a young age. ”
Jianghu took advantage of the conversation between the two of them to silently peel the radish skin and chop it. He didn't know the bottom of his heart when mixing the stuffing, so he called his sister-in-law to come and mix.
Jianghu is very discerning to help Gu Xia make buns. Jiang Yi also wanted to get close to his daughter-in-law and get between the two.
"Big brother, what are you doing here? I won't wrap it, this land is also small, and my sister-in-law and I will be squeezed into the land as soon as you come. Big brother, let's go. Jianghu wrapped buns in his hands, raising his eyes to pick up his eldest brother.
Gu Xia couldn't help but snicker, she didn't expect that her husband, the eldest brother, would also be disliked by her younger brother.
Jiang Yi had a cold face and no intention of leaving, "I can't learn." ”
"Okay, my brother will teach you reluctantly." Jianghu didn't think much about it, and planned to teach his eldest brother to make buns by himself.
Jiang Yi pulled away the second brother who was sticking up, turned his head to Gu Xia, and his tone was obviously much softer: "Daughter-in-law, you teach me." ”
"Okay, in fact, it's not that difficult to make buns...... Gu Xia patiently taught Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi's mind didn't focus on making steamed buns, staring at his daughter-in-law with fiery eyes, and he couldn't learn to make steamed buns.
Gu Xia taught it a few times, Jiang Yi was not like the four things that were packed, she was a little impatient, and glanced at him with disgust, "It's very smart when it's fair, why can't you learn to make a bun so easily?" ”
Wake up early and go out without brains?
Jiang Yi didn't blush when he was disgusted, and looked humbly asking for advice, "Daughter-in-law, I'm stupid, I need you to teach me by hand." ”
Jianghu looked at his eldest brother who didn't want money, and he couldn't see it.
Could it be that he's the one who gets in the way?
In order to be able to eat meat buns early, he just didn't leave.
Gu Xia patiently taught Jiang Yi how to make buns. "Xianggong, you should have met now, right?"
"Well, it's going to be soon, and my daughter-in-law has to teach it again." Jiang Yi likes his daughter-in-law's soft little hands on his big palms.
It's rare that the two have such an intimate time, and he is greedy for the beauty of his daughter-in-law.
Gu Xia saw that there were still a lot of stuffing, she was very anxious, she wasted her time on Jiang Yi, she was afraid that she would starve to death.
"Xianggong, I'm hungry, why don't you go boil water? Let's divide up the work, and we can eat steamed buns quickly. ”
Jiang Yi thought that his daughter-in-law would be dizzy when she was hungry, so she went to boil the water even if she was reluctant to turn around.
As soon as he left, Gu Xia and Jianghu both breathed a sigh of relief. Without Jiang Yi making trouble, the two of them quickly finished wrapping the buns.
Put the buns in the pot, steam them over high heat for a quarter of an hour, and steam them for a short time to prevent the bun skin from collapsing and not soft.
The twin brothers are very good at getting up in a hurry, and as soon as the meat bun was served, the younger one got dressed and ran out.
Bai Bao also got up in a daze, and put his clothes on backwards, which made everyone laugh.
"I'm still young, and it's great for my sister-in-law to say that I can dress myself, and it's reasonable to wear it once in a while." Bai Bao argued in a milky voice.
Don't look at him small, he is already very organized in his speech.
Rainbow Dash is thin-skinned and silently looks at his shoes that are wearing the opposite, afraid that everyone will laugh at him. Under the pretext of peeing, I found a place where no one was around.
Gu Xia picked up Bai Bao and sat down at the dining table, brought him a big bun and put it in a bowl, and gave a bowl of soy milk to the little milk baby.
White flour meat buns are already a rare and good thing for ordinary farmers. In addition, there are soy milk, tofu brain, whoever likes to eat what to serve?
Before the Jiang family's breakfast was finished, someone in the village came to drink bean curd. It was a few of Jiang Yi's little followers.
"My brothers heard that the bean curd made by my sister-in-law was delicious, so we wanted to come over and try it. Yo, there's a big bun, give one to each brother. The second dog came to Jiang Yi and took a string of silver coins in his hand, which was put together by several brothers.
The old family is in the bean curd business, and their little brothers also have to come over to cheer on them.
"One bowl of bean curd costs three yuan, and two bowls of five yuan yuan. How do you sell daughter-in-law meat buns? Jiang Yi tilted his head sideways and looked at Gu Xia.
"The meat bun is the same price as the bean curd, and it is easy to calculate the account." Gu Xia turned around and was about to pick up buns for a few people to hold tofu brains.
Jiang Yi put his hands on her shoulders and pressed the person back into the chair and sat down. "My daughter-in-law is sitting and eating, and I'll go and greet a few people."
"Since these people are your friends, each of them will give them a bowl of soy milk to drink." Gu Xia opened his mouth with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The second dog thanked him and became more and more fond of his sister-in-law.
The two dogs were not stupid and stood still, they served bean curd by themselves, took the white and fat meat buns from the eldest brother's hand, and took them to the long table to eat.
The meat bun is very material, and you can see a large piece of lard residue when you bite into it, and your mouth is full of oil, which is particularly satisfying. It's better than the meat buns sold at the bun shops in the city.
Several people praised Gu Xia's good cooking skills, and they came to eat another day when they had extra money.
After Gu Xia and Jiang Yi were full of food and drink, Jiang Yi approached her, "My daughter-in-law is waiting at home, I will go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, and come back and take you to my uncle's house to return to the door." ”
"Xianggong will bring a few meat buns to the village chief." Gu Xia grabbed Jiang Yi, who turned around to leave.
Taoshu Village is also a large village, with a population of hundreds of households, but only the village chief and Uncle Niu have cattle in their homes.
The village was poor, and most of them could not afford to buy cattle.
Cattle are very precious, and it is not easy to go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart.
Gu Xia still felt that the dozens of taels of silver in her hand were far from enough, and she wanted to buy an ox cart to build a big house, but it was not enough, and she had to make more money.
Jiang Yi borrowed the kung fu of the ox cart, and the Jiang family came to drink bean curd in two waves.
Some drank the bean curd, ate the tofu of the Jiang family, and bought a piece of tofu by the way.
Jiang Yi took a bag of brown rice and two carp to the ox cart. Mother Jiang packed a few pieces of tofu and handed them to Gu Xia, asking her to bring them over.
Gu Xia was touched by her mother-in-law again, and other mothers-in-law prevented their daughters-in-law from taking things from their parents' homes, and their mother-in-law took the initiative to give her more things.
She kept her mother-in-law's kindness in mind, and Jiang Yi drove the ox cart to her uncle's house.
At the same time, the old couple of the Gu family were still looking forward to Gu Xia returning to the courtyard in the courtyard, but they had the cheekiness to borrow money from the villagers and used the money to invite a Taoist priest to come back. Planned to return Gu Xia, so he asked the Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits for him.
