Chapter 152: Buying a Lamp

Ding Youshou came to open the door.

Seeing that Lilac Dingzhen actually came from home, he was extremely surprised, and said with a smile, "Two little nieces, rare guests, rare guests. Come in, uncle, you can make sugar water for you."

As soon as he got closer, there was a stench, and a few holes in his clothes and pants were not repaired, and the two little girls frowned and took a step back.

Lilac shook her head and said, "We're not looking for you."

Ding Zhen said again, "Let's come to Brother Hong to buy lanterns."

Ding Youshou smiled, "Come in and buy it."

A few little girls shook their heads.

Ding Youshou went back to the house and shouted, "Brother Hong, someone buys lanterns."

Brother Hong came out to see that it was them, and said with a smile, "What kind of lamp does the little girl want to buy?"

There was a scent of soaphorn on his body, which made the few little girls who were holding their breath just now take a deep breath.

Ding Zhen smiled, "I buy lotus lanterns, and Sister Xiang buys rabbit lanterns."

Brother Hong smiled, "You wait, I'll go get it."

Looking at his slightly lame back, Ding Zhen secretly said, "It's a pity."

Brother Hong took out two lanterns. The lotus lantern is made of red paper, and the center of the flower is yellow. The no-child lamp is made of white paper, and the eyes are red.

"Twenty wen per lantern."

The lanterns are beautifully made, and even if they are not lit, they are very beautiful. Even Lilac, an old eggplant, fell in love, not to mention Ding Zhen's little Lori.

The two little girls smiled happily and took the lantern with twenty wen each.

The little girl's cheerful laughter spread all the way, and after seeing them disappear into the courtyard wall of the Ding family, Brother Hong smiled and closed the courtyard door.

Ding Youshou's yin voice came from behind him, "Those two little girls are my nieces, and the family has money, so it's not something you can worry about."

Little Brother Hong blushed and said angrily, "Those two are still children, and Third Uncle Ding will stay in Germany."

Ding Youshou said, "Zhen girl is nine years old, and many people go to propose marriage."

Brother Hong ignored him and entered his house.

After Lilac went home, she hung the little rabbit lamp and went to the West Wing Hall, the common study of the two little brothers.

In the evening, the brothers were about to go home, and Lilac took Heiwa to wait at the gate of the West Courtyard again.

Soon, I saw Xia Wenguan, Ding Liren, and Ding Lilai appear at the entrance of the village one after another, more than a dozen steps away from each other.

Lilac happily stepped forward.

When he staggered with Xia Wenguan, Yu Guang saw that Xia Wenguan was unhappy on his face, and he didn't even look at her.

Lilac didn't pay any attention to her.

Ding Liren looked at the figure in front of him and asked, "Did Xia Wenguan talk to his sister?"

Lilac shook her head, "No."

Ding Liren said proudly, "I don't dare to think about him. Hmph, Lai Toad wants to eat swan meat, and he deserves it."

Ding Lilai smiled and said, "Second brother and I found an excuse to beat that suffocating grandson today."

Lilac disagreed, "Don't fight in the future, if someone breaks my brother, it won't be good."

Ding Lilai said with great momentum, "My sister is so young, he dares to worry about it, and he won't beat him. This is because the master doesn't know, the eldest brother is not at home, otherwise he will be beaten to cry and call his mother."

Lilac is secretly funny, the men in the family are all powerful, who dares to beat her idea really weighs it.

The day before yesterday, Ding Zhao had already taught Xia Wenguan a lesson. did not beat him, but scolded him violently, and did not allow him to come to Lilac again.

The next day, Lilac got up early in the morning and asked Li Maigao's family to go down the mountain to pick a basket of mulberry leaves.

Cloves to make mulberry leaf tofu. She also took a nice name, Jade Tofu.

Mulberry leaves have many medicinal effects, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, clearing the liver and eyes, dissipating wind and removing heat, and so on.

Mulberry leaf tofu is a delicious dish in summer, and eating it has many benefits for people.

Ding Zhuang's grandfather was a little angry in overcoming technical difficulties, and she couldn't eat, she wanted to cook a different dish for her grandfather, and she also wanted to send some to Tao Weng and his wife.

As soon as she finished breakfast, Lilac took Zhang to the East Courtyard to make it.

Her argument was that she watched them at Jiang Tofu's house

When making tofu, she came up with a delicious taste that was both beautiful and delicious.

Zhang's will be a daughter, and she will do whatever she says.

The filtered ash water was ready yesterday.

The grass and wood gray looks black, but it is actually very clean and hygienic, and it is a kind of trona, which was used in many delicacies in ancient times. A woman whose family is not very wealthy, the monthly letter belt is also filled with grass and wood ash.

Wash the mulberry leaves, add some water and mash them, knead them with a fine cloth to filter the juice, and add the ash water of the plants and trees. Stir well, pour into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly as you cook.

After boiling, skim off the foam, put it in a basin, and slowly cool and solidify into jelly. A pot of green water really became green tofu, the color is particularly good-looking, emerald green, really like jade.

Zhang's novelty is endless.

For a better taste, put the pot in a bucket and put it in the well.

I used yeast to make dough and steamed a pot of mulberry leaf steamed buns.

In a few years, the yeast has spread, and there are still yeast powder sellers. Ordinary people generally don't use it, only shops.

Half an hour later, I took out the green tofu, and it was a little firmer than before.

Zhang's cut it in half. A plate cut into slices, put honey and sesame seeds, chopped fruits, this is sweet tofu.

A plate is cut into pieces, like mixed with cold powder, put in onions, garlic, salt and vinegar and other seasonings, and a little sesame oil and chili oil, this is salted tofu.

I didn't dare to put more chili oil, for fear that they wouldn't be able to eat spicy.

At this time, it was the beginning of noon, and Lilac asked Aya'er to carry the food box and take Heiwa to the pottery house together.

When passing by the third room, I stopped and called Ding Zhen.

Xie said that Ding Zhen went to the county shop with Ding Shan this morning.

Lilac came to the pottery house, and the vermilion gate was closed.

Aya'er tapped on the door, the door opened, and a man in his thirties stuck his head out, "Who are you looking for?"

Lilac has heard that the Tao family has come with six subordinates. Among them are two girls, two couples. Among the two couples, the eldest surname is Lu, and Uncle Lu is in charge of the house. The younger one is surnamed Tao and is in charge of the outside industry.

Then this should be Uncle Lu.

Lilac smiled, "Uncle Lu, I'm Lilac, I'm here to visit Tao Weng and the old lady."

Uncle Lu actually knows about cloves. smiled, "It's Sister Xiang'er, please come in."

Facing the door is Zhaobi, on the left are several upside-down seats, and the kitchen door is open, and two women are cooking inside.

They walked through the front yard into the Hanging Flower Gate.

The courtyard is much larger than the lilac's house, in front of the hanging flower door are two big trees with dense branches and leaves, bluestone slabs paved the road, in the middle is a rockery, there are many flowers and plants around, flowers are blooming, purple and red.

The houses are whitewashed and tiled, carved and painted, and all the windows are pasted with yarn, not paper.

Tao Weng was sitting alone under the porch, with a game of Go in front of him, playing with himself. Holding a large fan in his hand, his bare feet in straw sandals stretched out for a long time.

It's really a celebrity and a gentleman.

Lilac concluded that if it weren't for the old lady's hobby, the pottery house would be built in a small courtyard than a farmhouse, and it would not be necessary to build a few straw houses.

Tao Weng saw Lilac and beckoned with a smile, "Does the little girl know how to play Go?"
