Chapter 121: Lotus Leaf Porridge
Yun Qinghuan laughed, and quickly took out a big bun wrapped in paper from his arms, broke half of it and gave it to her, "Now, here you go, hurry up and fill your stomach." ”
This is what she grabbed when the big bun first came up, and she grabbed three white-flour buns at once, but it was not good for the people who ate at the same table.
That's a white-flour bun!
It's not usually a fine bun that you don't want to eat during the New Year!
Yun Qinghuan ate one, An An ate one, and she wrapped the rest in paper, planning to take it back to her mother-in-law and Bai Naihan to taste.
But at this moment, seeing that Qiao Yue really hadn't eaten a few bites, she was a little distressed and broke half of it for her.
Jiang Wenxiu next to her also glanced at Qiao Yue with pity, and gave her a candy, "Na, give you a sweet mouth." ”
When she sprinkled the candy just now, Qiao Yue didn't grab any of them.
Unlucky, unlike Yun Qinghuan and Jiang Wenxiu, the two of them also picked up several candies, and even the little An An grabbed two.
Qiao Yue was very moved, but still waved her hand, "I can't ask for it, you still have to take it back to the family to eat." ”
She didn't eat enough because she didn't have the ability to rob others, but what was it to eat them?
Yun Qinghuan and Jiang Wenxiu insisted on stuffing things to her, "What's polite to us?" ”
Because Yun Qinghuan is now close to Jiang Wenxiu, Qiao Yue has a good relationship with Jiang Wenxiu now.
When she heard this, she took something to eat, and she was indeed very hungry.
I was busy at Zhiqing Point early in the morning, and I didn't eat, but I was busy all morning, and I didn't eat a few bites at noon, and I was already hungry.
A few people came out of the Xia family, and Yun Qinghuan saw Xia Mei, who looked even thinner, and the belly around her waist was slightly bulging.
The clothes are also tattered, and the whole person is full of sadness.
After walking a few steps, she probably saw Yun Qinghuan too, her pupils shrank back, and then she subconsciously put her clothes on her stomach and hurried to the courtyard of the Xia family.
Jiang Wenxiu also saw Xia Mei and Nunuzui, "She and Xia Yuhua are of the same clan, today Xia Yuhua got married, she wants to come over to help wash the dishes and wipe the table, looking at her like this, she is indeed unmarried and pregnant." ”
"Tsk, the girls of their Xia family are really interesting, they are all pregnant before marriage, and they are not afraid that the girls behind them will not be easy to marry."
Yun Qinghuan didn't speak, just stared at Xia Mei's departing back for a while.
After the banquet, it was noon, the weather was good today, the people in the sun were hot, the wind blowing on the road was hot, and a few people walked for a while, and they were covered in sweat.
It just happened that the lotus leaves by the river bloomed a lot, passing by the river, Yun Qinghuan picked four lotus leaves, one by one as an umbrella and walked forward, "This lotus leaf is a good thing to cool and relieve the heat, you can cook it with rice when you go back, go to the heat, and the porridge will be cooked more fragrant." ”
Seeing this lotus leaf, her eyes lit up.
I've already thought about using this to cook porridge at night.
Jiang Wenxiu was a little surprised when she heard her say this, "It turns out that this thing can still be eaten." ”
She really didn't know.
They only know that lotus roots and lotus pods can be eaten, and they have not heard that lotus leaves can also be eaten.
"Yes."
If there is meat and glutinous rice, she can also make lotus leaf glutinous rice meat dumplings, which are not delicious.
Several people went back to their respective homes, and as soon as Yun Qinghuan went back, he broke the remaining half of the bun into two and gave the man and his mother-in-law a bite to eat.
"Na, try it, this Xia Yuhua marriage is really very big, and I was willing to give white flour steamed buns, so I grabbed three." Yun Qing laughed happily.
Before I went, my mother-in-law told me a thousand times, for fear that she would not be able to rob the group of women and would not be able to eat.
Liu Yuzhi listened to her about the banquet, not only did she not suffer a loss, but she also brought back a big bun and praised her repeatedly.
Yun Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, she couldn't be happy.
In the evening, she cooked a pot full of lotus leaf porridge, and put the dates she bought, and sprinkled a handful of glutinous rice, the porridge was soft and rotten, with a strong rice fragrance, An An was very greedy, and snorted, "Mom, this porridge smells so fragrant!" ”
Yun Qinghuan laughed, scooped a spoonful and put it on the child's mouth, "Now, be careful not to burn your mouth, help your mother try to see if the porridge is boiled well." ”
In fact, you can see at a glance that the porridge has been boiled, which is just an excuse for the little guy to eat in advance.
The porridge boiled by burning wood is much better than the porridge cooked in a modern rice cooker, and Yun Qinghuan also likes to drink it very much.
The little guy didn't care about the burn, and without waiting for Yun Qinghuan to finish speaking, he hurriedly drank the porridge into his mouth, his mouth was open, but he was still reluctant to vomit, and after drinking, he still stared at Yun Qinghuan, obviously wanting to drink.
Yun Qing smiled, "It seems that it is boiled up, wait outside first, and then the meal will start later." ”
She stir-fried a dish of fried shredded pork with chili peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and finally a few dough cakes, and a simple dinner was ready.
The family sat at the dinner table to eat, because Gu Mingliang married Xia Yuhua today, Liu Yuzhi talked about Xia Mei.
"I heard that Xia Mei's mother collected a lot of money from Lao Zhao, who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law in the village, tonight, I heard that she told Xia Mei to Lao Zhao, Xia Mei and her mother didn't know what she thought, why didn't Lao Zhao say that she was a daughter-in-law, it wasn't because she was too lazy to do it, she could steal and play tricks, for so many years, she couldn't even build a decent house, and she still lived in the mud house that his parents left for him before her death, and the straw on the roof couldn't cover the rain He didn't know how to repair, such a lazy man, but anyone who loves his daughter is unwilling to let his daughter marry him."
"I really didn't expect Xia Mei's mother to give Xia Mei and Lao Zhao a marriage, I'm afraid I will be guilty in the future."
"Huh?" Yun Qinghuan was a little surprised, "How much dowry did Xia Mei's mother receive?" ”
In her opinion, Xia Mei's mother must have received the money, otherwise she would definitely not be happy to let her daughter marry someone else for nothing.
"I heard that it was a 100 yuan bride price, Lao Zhao borrowed money everywhere in the village two days ago, everyone knew that if the money was lent to him, he would definitely not come back, and he was unwilling to borrow, but he didn't expect him to be a scoundrel, if others didn't borrow money, he would stay at someone's house and not leave, no way, he could only lend him a piece or two, everyone scolded him behind his back in the past two days, I really didn't expect that this was to make money to marry a daughter-in-law."
Yun Qinghuan was a little speechless, she also knew Lao Zhao at the head of the village, he was a dirty bachelor, probably in his thirties, that is to say, he had lived for more than 30 years, and he even had to rely on this way to get the bride price for marriage.
If Xia Mei really marries him in the future, I am afraid that life will be difficult, and she will be collected by the villagers.
The next day, Jiang Wenxiu came over and told her about Xia Mei and Lao Zhao.
The marriage of the two is indeed decided, no, to be exact, Xia Mei is already Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law now.
I heard that last night, Lao Zhao gave Xia Mei and her mother the bride price money, so he forcibly tied Xia Mei to his house.
It was Xia Mei and her brother who helped tie it together, because Xia Mei struggled too much.
