Chapter 33 Thoughts
Cui Hejin nodded and sat down to burn firewood.
His movements are slow and orderly, even if he is just sorting out the firewood at the stove, he looks noble and elegant.
Jiang Zhiluo opened her mouth, but she still didn't refuse.
After cutting the dishes and preparing them, Cui Hejin saw that she was going to cook, so she lit firewood and burned it.
Jiang Zhiluo always felt that he was sitting here with such a temperament and burning the fire, and he had a feeling of being a violent thing.
But now is not the time to pay attention to that.
It is true that you have to cook first.
Mrs. Cui watched her son help light the fire, and she had a smile on her face.
After Jiang Zhiluo finished stir-frying, the bowl of chicken stewed mushrooms brought back yesterday was also heated in the pot.
Then the three of them washed their hands and sat down to eat.
Each person's bowl is a bowl of steamed buns stir-fried.
Neither Mrs. Cui nor Cui Hejin had ever eaten like this.
But I picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and it was really delicious.
Mrs. Cui felt that in terms of taste, Zhiluo seemed to have a talent and could always adjust the taste of the food very well.
While eating, Mrs. Cui discussed with Jiang Zhiluo to go to the village to harvest beets in the afternoon.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, mother, you charge more, let's make more brown sugar in the afternoon." ”
"Two pots in the afternoon."
Jiang Zhiluo wanted to make noodles after lunch, so that she could make steamed buns with meat, and at the same time, she would also boil the pig in the pot and put it in water, and after it was done, this pot could boil brown sugar together.
Jiang Zhiluo was thinking in her heart, and she felt that she was busy in the afternoon.
Originally, she wanted to go to the river to get some willow buds, but she probably didn't have much time.
After Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo discussed what they wanted to do in the afternoon, Cui Hejin put down her chopsticks after eating, and then said leisurely: "I will go to the town school hall to give lectures from tomorrow, and I will have two taels of silver a month for family use." ”
As soon as Cui Hejian's words fell, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo ate in their hands.
They all looked at Cui Hejin in unison.
Mrs. Cui said, "You want to be a master?" ”
Two taels of silver a month is indeed a lot.
She also knows her son's knowledge, and it is indeed no problem to be a master.
Cui Hejin Qingrun replied, "Hmm. ”
Mrs. Cui's face changed, she knew that her son did not want to return to the capital, nor did he think about participating in the scientific examination.
In the past, he was the son of the Guogong Mansion, inheriting the family business and the position of the son, and there was no need for scientific research to occupy the quota of others, nor did he need scientific research to prove his knowledge.
But now that the Cui Guogong Mansion is no longer there, if their family wants to recover, they can only take the imperial examination.
But apparently the son is not this idea.
Otherwise, he would not have been a master.
"Are you here to earn those two taels of silver?"
Cui Hejin said: "Not all. ”
Old Madam Cui sighed, she became more and more unpredictable about this son's thoughts.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't say anything, because the language was pale to say anything now.
Even if she wanted Cui Hejin to go to the county academy to study, she would need silver, and she wouldn't be able to support her studies without silver.
Although he said that he had two taels of silver every month, and the monthly silver was for the family.
But Jiang Zhiluo thought that she should make more money as soon as possible, so that Cui Hejin would not have to think hard about making money to subsidize the family.
Mrs. Cui said: "Isn't it hard to go to the school to teach, do you have time to rest, do you want to live in the school?" ”
Cui Hejin slowly explained: "The school is very close to home, you don't need to live in the school, you start class, Shen Zheng finishes class, and rests for an hour at noon......"
Jiang Zhiluo listened silently and calculated in her heart, that is, about nine o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon.
I also have a two-hour break at noon, so even teaching is much easier.
She thought that the school should also have a day off.
However, Cui Hejin can come to the house every day, and it doesn't affect Mu Xiu or not.
That's fine, so that he doesn't have to work so hard to copy books and ink books.
After lunch was cleaned up, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui got busy.
Jiang Zhiluo gave Mrs. Cui a hundred yuan and said, "Mother, you buy more, let's make brown sugar and sell it for the next few days." ”
Jiang Zhiluo wanted to buy more beets during this time, and maybe there would not be many beets after a while.
Beets are winter vegetables, there are no greenhouses here, and all vegetables come according to the season.
If you don't have sugar beets, you can't make sugar, after all, there is no sugar cane here.
If there is sugar cane, she is not afraid of not having brown sugar.
Mrs. Cui knew that Jiang Zhiluo had a charter for doing things, so she did what she said.
"Mother will go to a few more houses, but my mother still has copper coins here, so you don't need to give it to me."
Last time, Cui Hejin sold eggs and copied books, and after buying coarse noodles, he still had fifty yuan left.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, just take it." ”
Jiang Zhiluo insisted, and Mrs. Cui did not refuse.
After that, Mrs. Cui went to buy sugar beets.
Jiang Zhiluo began to make noodles.
After kneading the dough, she covers it with a clean cloth and waits for it to rise, and then she can make a steamed bun with meat.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhiluo began to marinate the pig into the water.
She was going to do this while she was lighting the fire.
But this is a little too busy, Cui Hejin packed some things in the house, and when she came out, she saw Jiang Zhiluo looking at the firewood and the pot.
There was not enough firewood, so she took one and put it in the stove, and then she had to wash her hands and stir-fry it in the pot with a spoon.
Cui Hejin's expression moved, walked over, and sat down to help light the fire.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that someone was helping, and said with relief: "Thank you." ”
Cui Hejian's lips moved, "It's me who should thank you." ”
Thank you for everything she does for the family.
He could see that his mother was in a good mood these days, and he didn't have time to think about it.
All this is due to his little wife.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled slightly and said, "It's right to do these things." ”
"You don't have to think about it, I'm also eating well for myself."
But when it was stir-fried and stewed, Jiang Zhiluo troubled Cui Hejin to help burn the fire and look at the pot.
She went to the yard to peel the few remaining beets at home, and she never stopped.
……
Mrs. Cui thought about harvesting beets, so she went to Lizheng's house first.
There are more fields in the Li Zheng family, and there should be a lot of sugar beets.
Besides, her daughter-in-law Zhu has helped her a lot on weekdays, and she is also grateful.
"Sister Zhu, are you at home?"
Zhu had just eaten and was planting vegetables in the vegetable garden cultivated in the yard when he heard the sound and hurried out.
"Oh, it's Sister Cui, what kind of wind is blowing you, come in."
Zhu is now looking at Mrs. Cui very enthusiastically.
After pulling Mrs. Cui into the house, she also talked about saving people before.
"Thanks to your Zhiluo, the county magistrate said that he would like to thank you when he turned around, but I saw that the county magistrate seemed to have something important at that time, and I didn't care about so many ......."
But no matter what, because Zhiluo saved the county lady, it was also a credit, and she even took them with her.
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she was stunned, she didn't expect such a thing.
