Chapter 59: Eyes Like Brass Bells (Two Chapters in One)

When seven bowls of fragrant fish ball thick noodles were served on the table, Zhao Dashan and the six officials were dumbfounded, and they couldn't control their swallowing and foaming.

Mrs. Xu cooks noodles with fish bone broth.

Although she still mixed elm bark noodles with this noodles, she knew that the noodles were brown and knew that they were multigrain noodles.

But this time she really didn't pick the door, only put a quarter of the elm flour, and the rest was white flour, sorghum flour, sweet potato flour mixed with soybean flour and noodles.

This kind of noodles don't taste bittersweet at all, but only feel smooth and chewy, just right.

In each bowl, there are also six homemade fish meatballs, spinach, shredded cabbage and shredded carrots, seasoned with salt, soy sauce and vinegar. She didn't put the coriander leaves, cut them separately and brought them up, put some of them if they were willing to eat them, and pull them down if they didn't want to eat them, according to their tastes.

This bowl of noodles tastes spicy and sour, and there are no bean sprouts, so it would be better if you put some bean sprouts and cucumber shreds.

"Dashan, let these little brothers eat it. You're all starving, aren't you? There are also mustard shredded pickles, pickled at home, you can taste them. ”

The six officials looked at the soup bowl in front of them, and felt that it was better than the most expensive noodles sold in the noodle restaurant, and they were embarrassed to move their chopsticks one by one.

Zhao Dashan hurriedly followed: "Auntie, don't be busy anymore, this is no longer a problem." ”

"Don't worry about it, come into the house and eat, I'll just pick up another dish." By the way, you can bring this brazier to me, it will be useful for a while. ”

In front of Mrs. Xu, she picked out the small fish bubbles sent by each family this morning and pickled them, these small fish bubbles are not suitable for drying fish gelatin, and it is better to soak them in green onion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell.

She went to the warehouse to take out some long wooden skewers that her second son had cut before, boiled them in boiling water and sterilized them, and skewered them like lamb skewers.

Why do you think there are so many long wooden sticks in her house? This is not to live on the far side of the east end, I am afraid that there will be a thief or something, and he can't pull up the barbed wire and can't tie the iron nails, so he uses this sharpened long wooden skewer to tie the mud wall, so that the thief wants to jump over the wall and come in to tie his buttocks.

But after the rain, the wooden skewer was not so easy to use after a long time, so the second son cut out a lot of it and put it in the warehouse for backup, and changed it every other day.

Right now, it's convenient for her to use to string fish bubbles.

"Auntie, what are you?"

Mrs. Xu put the skewered fish bubble wooden skewers on the brazier, and the length was just enough.

The brazier is not burning charcoal, and it is a big injustice to spend money on charcoal burning from them.

What do you think is the best thing to use to burn and bake? Pine Tower.

The pine tower is the equivalent of fruit charcoal, and the food roasted is contaminated with the fragrance of pine oil. In addition to not being as good as the kind of charcoal fragrance made from fruit trees, and not as good as those spices that add agarwood and musk to charcoal, we can't afford to use them.

It's not affordable to be practical, and the tire slips when you smell it, and Gong Dou plays it like that in the TV series. She is in the age of semi-menopause again, don't smell anything to her again, the rest is in the eyes of their people, and what charcoal is burned is not as good as burning pine towers, and it is also resistant to burning.

No, with the crackling sound of the pine tower burning, the fish bubbles on it began to sizzle with oil, and Mrs. Xu sprinkled the homemade barbecue mixed salt on the fish bubbles, and the fragrance immediately spread all over the house.

"Dashan, do you think it will be? Just sprinkle a little stuff like that. You watch here, and when you're done, you eat. ”

This time, even those officials couldn't sit still: "Auntie, don't be busy, this is enough to eat, let's let you break the bank." ”

"What's the cost, you come with the mountains as if you were at your own home. My white bun will be fine immediately, if you don't eat enough and turn back to the rice bowl, then what kind of person has become of the eldest lady? ”

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: She still plans to have a good relationship with these boys.

After all, Zhao Dashan walks around, who knows if he can find someone immediately when there is an emergency, and it will be easy to get to know these people.

It's really a bit of a thing, I can't find Zhao Dashan, and I can't see one of the officials. It's better to know seven people than to catch one.

Especially after a while, she has to do business in the mutual market, and she will use it in case she encounters any trouble.

So she arranged the meal, Mrs. Xu said sincerely: she was more honest than when she saw Zhao Dashan before. At that time, she only cooked a bowl of fish ball noodles at most, and there was no such thing as the back.

But this is not human nature, if there is a benefit, she thinks about the good relationship, and she also has that unspeakable careful thinking.

Mrs. Xu made a simple marinade, put the fishy fish into the marinade pot and boiled it, and asked her to say that it was more like braised fish to soak the salty and light flavor, so she took out all the fish and chopped it. Then lift the lid of the cauldron, pick out a few steamed steamed buns, cut the white buns from the middle like making modern meat sandwich buns, sandwich the marinated meat gravy and then minced fish and serve them on a wooden plate.

Others are meat buns, but ours is fish buns.

This is what her granddaughter said, saying that she had eaten it when she traveled to Xi'an before, and the fish and meat buns were more nutritious than the meat buns, which was equivalent to drinking several cups of milk and protein. She hadn't eaten it.

I was not willing to cook food for my granddaughter, but I made it for Zhao Dashan and them first.

However, she made a little more seasoning, left it in the pot, and waited for her granddaughter to come back after the live broadcast and Yu Qinniang came back to eat, it is estimated that it will taste better with marinade.

"What's going on?"

One of the officials was nicknamed Oil Cake, and when he heard this name, he knew that his family was in good condition.

The oil cake endured and endured it, but I didn't get the broken silver out of the sleeve.

He really wanted to ask the eldest lady, can you do more? He wanted to buy it and take it home for Lao Tzu Niang to taste, it was too delicious.

The other people were very surprised, they thought that they were not exaggerating, not to mention these delicious food, how could this dry food not have a little sour taste? I feel like I can eat several of them just by eating dry food.

Zhao Dashan blushed because he accidentally drooled when he opened his mouth and was about to talk to Mrs. Xu.

If it weren't for these subordinates around him, he really wanted to say: Auntie, go back and sell this on the side of the road, this fragrance can trip your legs.

……

When Zhao Dashan and the others left, there was not even a single green onion in the noodle bowl, and the little servants used the last steamed bun to pull the whole bowl again, and the salty and light flavors that could be dipped away were dipped away.

"Auntie, where is the well?"

"Yes, auntie, let's fill the vat of water before we go."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "What kind of water to pick, if you don't hurry back, it's time for the middle of the night, don't pick up water." ”

Mrs. Xu opened the gate while talking, and when she opened the gate, she was startled, she was really convinced, Liu Laozhu fell into the courtyard and knelt in front of her.

Do you say that this old thing is slipping away, and is eavesdropping at the gate of her house, and you can hear what is going on in such a big yard.

"Lizheng, isn't this a coincidence, I opened the door just as you came, are you a stumbling foot?"

Mrs. Xu gave Liu Laozhu the steps down.

Liu Laozhu hurriedly got up and looked at Zhao Dashan and said with a smile: "Well, I accidentally broke my foot, what a coincidence." ”

Mrs. Xu introduced: "Dashan, this is in our village, have you seen it?" ”

Zhao Dashan's impression of Liu Laozhu has always been: sneaky.

In other words, when he meets someone who gives him this feeling on the road, he will definitely scold: "Stop, what are you doing?" "Examine it all over the world.

But he already knew that it was Erdaohe Village, and his aunt lived in this village again, so he stretched his expression, and he was not used to laughing and smiled: "Yes, I and Liu Li are still talking in the town." When we meet later, that's also to say hello. ”

Liu Laozhu relaxed half of his body at this time: "Yes, yes, we have spoken, and we will slowly become familiar." What's that? Bring your little brothers to my house for some drinks. ”

"No, I'm leaving, I've just finished eating at my aunt's place, and it's going to be the middle of the night if I don't go back home."

Liu Laozhu didn't stop him, and followed Mrs. Xu upside down, laughing together to send Zhao Dashan and them out of the village.

Mrs. Xu had wondered before, how did Dashan enter the village, and what about her sentry soldier Zhang Ga. It stands to reason that if a living person enters the village, they should report it immediately.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I knew that I was all frightened when I saw the people in official uniforms, and the little babies were stacking firewood on both sides of the village entrance to play with passers-by.

Seeing off Zhao Dashan and his party, Mrs. Xu beckoned the cloth bag and called them: "This is not good, the vigilance is too poor, no matter who enters the village in the future, then I have to tell them." What if it's a thief in an official uniform? ”

Bu Bao snorted his nose, glanced at Liu Laozhu, and felt that he didn't need to admit his mistake to him, but Grandma Xu looked more powerful: "Yes, Grandma Xu, we were wrong, don't blame my brothers and sisters, punish me." ”

Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back a smile with a straight face and said, "For the sake of your playing, you are also helping the village to work and stack firewood, so forget it this time." ”

asked Liu Laozhu again, is the meeting over?

Liu Laozhu said that it was too soon, and he agreed to the way the village committee divided the money according to his fingerprints in the queue, and the thirteen taels of silver that his eldest brother bought the fish in the village would not be distributed and confiscated. In short, in the second half of the whole meeting, it was all the four uncles who were explaining those detailed things.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu shouted to those half-grown children to go home and sleep in a while, and asked Liu Laozhu while walking towards home: "You don't have any ideas, right?" ”

"No, Scepter, you instigated them too hot, and they can't wait to run a few laps and shout a few times. They also said that this was a good omen, and that the first few fish caught from the boat shared by the whole village were handed over to the village committee for the first amount of silver. I can see it, it is a good thing that our village was burned by the opposite village this time, and it is really all together, and it is different if we have been beaten together. As long as they don't get the money out of their hands, they can do anything. ”

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the Xu family, Liu Laozhu didn't hold back and asked, "Why is Zhao Zhutou here?" ”

He didn't believe that he only came to dinner, he must have something to say.

Mrs. Xu stood still and turned her head to look at Liu Laozhu.

Now it's just the two of them, so I have something to say......

"I never asked you, why didn't you let me see Zhao Dashan.

Then I don't want to explain what the mountains are doing right now, so you shouldn't ask again.

I think there should be a tacit understanding between us, what do you say, brother?

This way, we can work together in the future without worry. ”

If you follow her every day and ask, why are you doing this, where did you buy this thing? That would annoy her to death.

Liu Laozhu looked at Mrs. Xu, who was slightly raising her eyebrows and waiting for him to answer, and thought: This little nag is really hard.

The energy on his body looks more free and easy than their men.

Liu Laozhu nodded, "...... It makes sense, it's cheap to see through it or not. ”

Mrs. Xu immediately smiled and nodded: "It's easy for you to think so." What's that, tomorrow morning, trouble brother to leave me a space, let's gather at the table, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Liu Laozhu was just about to put on a show that he did not lose Mrs. Xu's chic, when he heard the words, his waist collapsed: "What's the matter, you say it now." ”

"Wait for tomorrow morning."

"No, don't be tomorrow morning, I shouldn't have a good night's sleep."

Mrs. Xu said helplessly: "My own family affairs, you have to let me think about it clearly tonight." Let's talk about my old Xu family, what do you have to sleep well? ”

Liu Laozhu has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, that sentence is that every time Mrs. Xu calls him brother, his back is cold, and he always feels that it is no good to ask him.

——

After Mrs. Xu entered the house, she was not in a hurry to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Instead, before Yu Qinniang and the granddaughter who was broadcasting live did not come back, they poured all the silver money on the kang to check the money.

After checking it, I was grateful that there were only twenty-five copper plates left, and the family members in the live broadcast room gave their grandparents and grandchildren nearly 16 taels of light signs and rewards, and they were worried that the money was still not enough.

Because she wants to buy some wasteland. That's what Zhao Dashan said, there is a large piece of empty wasteland on the side of the big road in front of Phoenix Mountain in their village, and she wants to buy one of the pieces of land on the side of the road to build a house and sell goods, which is not the only way for the caravan.

Yes, the caravan came, and Shou said that he was from Erdaohe Village, and he might be able to deal with the sale of goods without spending a penny.

But who knows how many days it will sell?

Without a title deed, who knows when we will not be allowed to sell.

What's more, when the news of the mutual market is known, their inevitable path will become a place of contention.

The squire Tuqiang and those officials and relatives will not give us the people a chance at any time. You say that we ordinary people can't grab a good slot for anything, that good place is easy to trade, even if we have brains, we can't do them.

At that time, all the locations where the caravans pass must no longer be the cheap land prices they are now. I'm afraid that I will simply deduct it, saying that the wasteland will not belong to your Erdaohe Village. It is not even allowed to set up stalls, and to lead caravans to those shops that have interests.

People have money, they have risen from the ground, and they have time to build houses and sheds.

So she has to plan how to distribute this money, which is why she doesn't want her family in the live broadcast room to see it.

In fact, she really wants to start a live broadcast and talk to some old fans about this and help the staff officers. But when it comes to not having enough money, I'm afraid that someone from that family will give her a reward.

This life, you can't always rely on rewards, and other people's money is not blown by the wind, this is enough rewards, it is better to have a big bowl and eat as many meals.

Mrs. Xu opened a wooden box again, which contained a separate five taels of silver, which was given to the village by the family members in the live broadcast room, and she couldn't touch the money. But she had to give the money a place to go.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu got off the kang and put on her shoes, and went to the backyard with two small boxes.

She first used all the copper plates and silver to make old with clay, which the God of Wealth hated, and the money exchanged for her looked new. Then he looked at the jujube tree that Xu Youtian planted before his death.

Buying wasteland to build a house, she plans to write her granddaughter's name on the title deed, so this tree is ...... In addition, it is not okay to say that, her house is newly built, and only a few trees in the yard have not been touched over the years.

Mrs. Xu began to dig in the shade of the jujube tree, and after digging very deep, she hurriedly backfilled the soil, which could not be made into a very new appearance, and it was just a little obvious that the digging was loose.

She didn't want to bother to tease Yu Qinniang, but her sons. Dig now, and when those sons come back, presumably the traces of this fraud will not be visible.

Mrs. Xu just wiped off the old silver coins and copper plates, and the sound of Yu Qinniang and her granddaughter talking and laughing came from the gate, and she could also hear the families outside calling the children to go home and sleep.

"Qin Niang, you plug in the door and come to the main house, I'll make something to eat."

Xu Tianxin and Yu Qinniang eat fish and meat buns.

Xu Tianxin: "It's so fragrant, milk." ”

Yu Qinniang even shook the marinade on her fingers, and couldn't control her bite of the bun and said, "It's so late, but I eat so well, is it really good?" ”

"Qin Niang, your eldest brother buried twenty taels of dowry money for Tian Xin under the jujube tree."

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Xu Tianxin immediately choked.

Yu Qinniang was choked very lightly, and her eyes were like copper bells.
