Chapter 104: Careful Budgeting (Three Changes)
Old Madam Cui burned firewood and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Jiang Zhiluo took out the dried peppercorns she bought today, put them in a stone mortar for pounding garlic, and began to pound them into powder.
Tomorrow, when making a pot helmet with mushroom and meat filling, adjust the meat filling and add minced peppercorns.
As if thinking of something, Mrs. Cui asked, "Zhiluo, what are we eating as our staple food?" ”
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a while and said, "Mother, didn't we make cornmeal steamed buns last night, you can eat them with cornmeal steamed buns." ”
I steamed a pot of cornmeal steamed buns last night, which can be eaten for several days.
Even if the conditions at home are better now, they are reluctant to eat white flour steamed buns all at once.
It is generally mixed with cornmeal to make steamed buns.
It's just because the house hasn't been built yet.
So be able to be careful or budget-conscious.
Saving a little is also saving.
Don't build a house, and you'll run out of money halfway through it.
And since you have bought medicine for Cui Hejin and Mrs. Cui to recuperate their bodies, it is best not to break them halfway, and you can completely recuperate the lost body for Mrs. Cui after a few consecutive treatments.
Old Madam Cui nodded and said, "You can indeed have cornmeal steamed buns." ”
"By the way, Zhiluo, are you pounding garlic, I'll do it for a while, or let Hibiscus do it."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, my husband will be tired after a busy day in the school, I can do this work, so I don't have to work hard for my husband." ”
When Mrs. Cui listened, she couldn't say anything to refute.
She had never seen anyone who felt so sorry for her husband.
When she was a duchess before, she didn't feel so sorry for her grandfather.
Old Mrs. Cui sighed with a smile: "Hehibiscus must have accumulated virtue in her previous life, and now she has found such a good daughter-in-law as you." ”
"I didn't feel so sorry for his father back then, I felt that he was a man and should spoil me more!"
Jiang Zhiluo's expression moved, the movements in her hands paused, her nose was sore, and her heart ached: "Maybe he had a hard time in his last life." ”
Yes, it must have been very hard for him to protect her so much.
In this life, she was reluctant to let him have the slightest hardship.
Mrs. Cui said: "That's all speculation, after all, I can rest assured that you are harmonious and beautiful in this life." ”
Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law are good, she is happy and relieved.
Isn't the husband and wife just supporting each other and feeling distressed by each other?
Her cold and lonely son felt that under the influence of Zhiluo, there seemed to be some fireworks on his body.
As he spoke, Cui Hejin had already come in with two buckets of water.
He glanced at Jiang Zhiluo, and seemed to hear what he had just said, and the dark light crossed under his eyes, and his dark eyes became deeper and deeper.
Cui Hejin poured two buckets of water, and the water in the jars was full.
He went to the yard again to chop firewood.
Looking at his busy figure, Jiang Zhiluo's cheeks felt a little trance, as if she had seen another scene through him.
After Jiang Zhiluo pounded the peppercorns into the end, Mrs. Cui sniffed the breath and said, "Is this the smell of spices?" ”
"Mother, this is the peppercorns, I just kneaded the noodles, and after waking up tomorrow morning, I can make a pot helmet."
"I'm going to make a pot helmet with mushroom and meat filling, and these peppercorns are the seasoning for the filling."
Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, "Then you really don't do the business of leek boxes, but make pot helmets?" ”
Although Mrs. Cui didn't know what a pot helmet was at this time, if her daughter-in-law wanted to do it, it would definitely be a good thing.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Well, make a pot helmet, our dough is different from others, it is not a pie, it tastes unique, so it is easy to stand out in a bunch of food stalls." ”
"There aren't many people buying leek boxes now, so let's stop doing it for the time being."
Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "Well, my mother doesn't know much about business, so I'll listen to your arrangement." ”
"I'll get up early tomorrow morning to make a pot helmet with you."
"Well, after turning back and making dried plum vegetables with snow red, you can use dried plum vegetables to make pot helmets, which have a more unique taste."
I have inspected the market before, and there are no umeboshi here at all.
"And we can also make plum cabbage and eat meat ourselves."
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo had a smile between her eyebrows.
In this way, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo were talking, and the two of them were discussing the matter of setting up a stall tomorrow.
Little by little, time passed.
The smell in the house is getting stronger and stronger.
"This smell is too fragrant."
Mrs. Cui had eaten a banquet in the village before and smelled the smell of stewed chicken, but it was not so fragrant.
……
Next to the Niu family
Although there is an abandoned vacant space between the Cui family and the Niu family's house, the fragrance is too strong and easy to spread to the Niu family.
Especially at this time, Shanmao was still playing in the yard, smelling the fragrance, and couldn't stand it, "Mother, the fragrance is fragrant, I want to eat meat." ”
When it was time to eat, the seven-year-old Shanmao was already hungry, and his mother had not yet cooked the rice, and when he smelled the fragrance, he felt that the meat must be so fragrant.
"Yesterday you asked for a sugar gourd, didn't you just buy it, what kind of meat to eat, you can only eat meat during the New Year."
The mountain hair was gluttonous by the fragrance, "Woo, I want to eat meat, eat meat......"
Niu's family loves her son on weekdays, and the men in her family are very energetic and capable of working, and they also separated from the brothers below, and collected enough food for their own food.
So occasionally she would buy her son a piece of caramel and buy some peanuts and other things to eat.
But such a thing is enough for a penny, and it works to coax children.
But eating meat is not something that can be passed away with pennies.
Cutting so much meat costs 20 yuan, Niu is reluctant to buy it.
It's all something that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
"What are you crying about, crying again, your father will come back and beat you."
Liu Cang, a man from the Niu family, has a lot of strength and works hard, and he also went to the back of the village to help build a house.
In the past three days, he was able to get ten cents home every day, and the Niu family was almost happy.
This period of time is the time of slack farming, there is no work on weekdays, and it is also idle at home, and it is natural to be happy to go out to work for ten cents a day.
Just thinking that the conditions of the Cui family have improved, the Niu family is a little puzzled.
She knows best what life the Cui family had before.
"Could it be that Jiang Zhiluo brought the dowry silver over, or maybe all of a sudden, life would be fine, and there would be money to buy a homestead and build a house?"
"Li Zheng said to do business, what kind of business can make so much money."
"If the business is so good, everyone will go into business."
It's not that the people in the village don't have the kind of brains that make some food and set up stalls, but how can they be sold so easily.
If you can't sell something, it's wasted, and the white noodles you use are wasted.
Besides, they don't necessarily sell eggs just by going to the market and setting up stalls.
So after a long time, everyone has also rested, fiddling with the land, planting well, and being able to produce more food, and there is no need to toss other good.
Niu finally calmed down Shanmao and didn't let him make trouble.
But the mountain hair smelled a stronger fragrance with tears in his eyes, his stomach gurgled, and he was even more hungry.
Naturally, Niu Shi also smelled the fragrance, and his saliva flowed, "Really, I don't know what to do, I am greedy every day." ”
I also smelled the fragrance last night, and when I saw Cui's in the afternoon, I asked, people make cornmeal steamed buns made last night.
Why is it so fragrant to make a cornmeal steamed bun?
When Niu kept swallowing saliva, Jiang Zhiluo knocked on the door with a small bowl of mushroom chicken nuggets in her hand.
Niu swallowed his saliva and shouted, "Who? ”
