Chapter Twenty-Nine: Different?
Su Xiaomu followed Chen back home with a confused face, and before she could sit down as soon as she entered the house, Chen began to lose her temper at home.
"Aren't you happy to go back to your parents' house?"
Yin followed Su Xiaomu into the kitchen to help, and deliberately closed the kitchen door.
Su Xiaomu took out the eggs from the kitchen cabinet.
Yin Shi followed her instructions and washed the surface of the eggs one by one.
"Tell your sister-in-law, did your second sister-in-law quarrel with her family?"
"It's not, it's just that I met the aunt of the Zhao family on the road, she spoke ugly, saying that I couldn't lift people in the public exam, and the family's money was wasted for him to study."
Su Xiaomu actually wanted to ask about the girl from the Zhao family, but she was embarrassed to gossip about Gu Jingcheng's red face, so she could only knock on the side to see what the Yin family said.
Sure enough, at the mention of the Zhao family's aunt, a trace of disgust crossed Yin's eyes.
Later, he said with a clear face: "I will be clear in this way, your second sister-in-law and her are also old rivals, every time the two of them quarrel with her, she will lose her temper when she comes back, and the family has long been used to it." ”
Yin washed the eggs and put them in the pot to boil, she covered the pot, turned her back to look at Su Xiaomu, who had not spoken, and said, "Did your second sister-in-law tell you, then the girl of the Zhao family almost married into our family." ”
"Yes...... Said. ”
Su Xiaomu had an embarrassed look on his face, but he kept saying in his heart: Gossip! I want to hear gossip!
Gu Jingcheng looked like a scholar all day long, although he was really good-looking, and he had the capital of culture and high capital, but Su Xiaomu's eyes were itchy and he couldn't see it.
The story of a famous talent in the village and his confidante, how can Su Xiaomu have the feeling that he is reading a script? Yin continued.
"The reason why the girl of the Zhao family did not marry into our family is because her mother thinks that our family is poor and looks down on our family.
What else do you say that Xiucai can't be vague about marrying a daughter-in-law, why do you have to give a bride price of five taels of silver, do you think your mother will agree? ”
Yin probably thought of some not very good memories, her expression changed slightly, and she felt a little more disgusted with the Zhao family's aunt.
"Although there are talents in the family who can be exempted from land tax, why does the third uncle study in the city without spending money? They are clearly looking for our family's stubble. ”
"At that time, your second sister-in-law was not in good health, and she had to take an ox cart to see Lang Zhong in the middle of the night when she suddenly had an emergency.
That Aunt Zhao took advantage of the fact that the family didn't talk about it to pull your second sister-in-law and didn't let her go to the doctor, and almost told her that she didn't get over that time, no, the two of them had a big feud. ”
Yin talked about the gossip of others, and the whole person looked a lot more excited than usual: "But you don't have to worry, the mother personally went to find Aunt Zhao, and scolded her daughter for being so big, we finally got rid of the relationship with his family." ”
"Original...... That's right. ”
Su Xiaomu had a look of sudden realization on her face, but she felt that this gossip was not exciting enough, she was planning to make up for it by herself, the eggs were cooked, and she had to make marinade.
The leftover spices and tea leaves at home are mixed together, and the salt is put in the sauce, all mixed in a bowl and stirred.
After the eggs came out of the pot, the cold water cooled, Su Xiaomu smashed the surface of the eggshell with the back of the knife, and then put it into a clay pot and poured a scoop of water, and the spices were also mixed in and cooked.
After about half an hour, the fire was extinguished, and after simmering for about an hour, Su Xiaomu took a few marinated tea eggs and cut them, and after a while, the whole kitchen was filled with the fragrance of eggs and marinade mixed together.
Let her mouth start to produce saliva incessantly.
It's a taste that's carved into the DNA.
There is no one in this world who can refuse the deliciousness of tea eggs.
"Sister-in-law try one first?"
Su Xiaomu fed a piece to Yin's with great interest, and after seeing her clap her hands, he couldn't wait to eat a piece by himself.
Then I went to find the Li family.
"Mother, this is a tea egg, which has a lot more flavor than eating white water eggs."
Su Xiaomu smiled and handed over the eggs to Li, she felt a little pity when she saw that she had cut two eggs at a time, but she saw that the two daughters-in-law were staring at her expectantly, and she didn't say anything.
In addition, the taste of this egg was really fragrant, she couldn't help but take it and taste it, and after tasting the taste, Li's face was full of disbelief.
"This is boiled with tea leaves?"
She held the eggs back and forth and couldn't believe it, there were so many cracks on this egg white, it was the tea leaves that were boiled and cracked?
"It's boiled with tea leaves, but there are other things in it, if my mother thinks it's delicious, my daughter-in-law will cook it for you every day."
Su Xiaomu diligently stuffed another piece of egg to Li's: "There are many more in the kitchen." ”
"Mother doesn't like to eat, you take it to Jingcheng and give it to them."
This time, the Li family has always been kind on his face, and he also spoke very gently to Su Xiaomu.
"You have good craftsmanship, you can do it if you like, but let's still say the same thing, everything is close to Jingcheng."
She still knows how many eggs there are at home, and they are all eaten by her old woman, what do they eat in Jingcheng?
"Keep it for the father-in-law, the sister-in-law took half of it to the father, the father-in-law was filial, and told me in the morning that although he was busy studying, he also knew that his mother and father were good to him, and his sister-in-law and brothers also took care of him, and he knew it in his heart."
Su Xiaomu said good things for Gu Jingcheng.
Sure enough, Li was even happier after hearing this, and asked her to take the eggs to Gu Jingcheng and them, and she went into the house to talk to Old Man Gu.
Su Xiaomu took the remaining eggs and went to find Chen.
Just now, she liked Chen's temperament a little.
"The second sister-in-law also tasted it, this is much more flavorful than white water eggs."
Su Xiaomu looked at Chen with a smile on his face, and took out the tea eggs to Chen like a treasure.
"The second sister-in-law has so many chickens at home, don't look down on it."
"Such a precious thing, in my family, my father and mother are also reluctant to take it out and eat it casually, but it is thanks to Xiaomu's blessing, my mother is very generous these days, and she is willing to take eggs for us to eat."
Chen also thought that Su Xiaomu was going to go directly past her to deliver eggs, but she didn't expect that she would come to give her a copy.
The yin and yang weird words stored in the stomach were blocked in my mouth and I didn't say it, I took a piece of the belly, don't say it, this egg is really delicious to say.
After taking Su Xiaomu's benefits, Chen's attitude was much softer than just now.
She pulled Su Xiaomu's arm and looked like a good sister: "You must help me keep in mind the matter of the handkerchief we talked about before." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go to the city tomorrow to help you do things, and I'll get a lot of money back with you."
She adheres to her standard of always being kind to others, and if she can get along with one more person in this family, she will have a good relationship.
The two gossiped about each other, and several children also came forward to join in the fun.
Su Xiaomu gave them some eggs, and asked Gu Ruotong about the embroidery of the veil by the way.
She was also curious, Gu Ruonan was not young, why didn't she learn a craft from Chen.
If you don't make up for the embroidered handkerchief, you can weave men and women in this society, and those who can embroider are better than those who can't embroider, how can they all marry well, right?
She bowed her head gently to talk to a few children, and from time to time wiped the egg foam from the corners of their mouths with a handkerchief.
When Gu Jingcheng came in with a hoe, what he saw was this warm room.
He was slightly stunned.
