Chapter 35 Refusal in words, honesty in hands

Li Xiaoyue replied with a smile: "The chicken cake I made today is the same, and I will use milk and almonds to make almond nougat later." I boil it with milk and starch to make fried milk. ”

"Finally, I wanted to send two blankets from home. But as soon as I thought that this was bought for me by Changfu fighting in the ring to win silver, I was reluctant. ”

"After thinking about it, I'm going to prepare the fourth, and I'm going to have something to eat. The oven that I made at home can bake some salted shortbread. Dad, tomorrow I will kill the pig, I will leave a little more lard, I will use it. ”

Li Laohan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, all the food is delivered, and it is still novel, and it can also show your heart." ”

On the last day, after several experiments, Li Xiaoyue finally made fried milk and salted meat shortbread.

Two food boxes were ordered from the village carpenter, which also came in handy at this time.

Wrap various pastries in different oiled paper packets to prevent moisture.

Chicken cakes and bacon shortbread are placed in one box, and almond nougat and fried milk are placed in another.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaoyue changed into a clean sauce-colored dress, and most of the clothes in the wardrobe were of this color.

Li Xiaoyue gritted her teeth secretly, and when she was free, she would definitely make good-looking clothes.

Liu Changhuan was wearing a water-red dress, twelve years old, which was the age of tender birth, and he wore double buns.

I haven't been working in the field recently, my face has turned whiter, and my beautiful facial features are pretty and cute.

It is no wonder that the landlord of Zhao named his surname and wanted to ask to marry Liu Changhuan.

There was a shed on the donkey cart, Brother Li and Liu Changfu took turns to catch the car, and Li Xiaoyue and Liu Changhuan sat on the car.

An hour later, when I arrived at the county seat, I found the address left by Mr. Gongsun.

Since Mrs. Gongsun came back, she said that Mrs. Li was reasonable, shrewd and capable, and that Liu Changhuan was gentle, virtuous, delicate and beautiful, and she began to look forward to Mrs. Li taking Liu Changhuan to the door.

There is a son who is unwilling to marry a daughter-in-law, and the son is still busy outside all day long and is not at home, and there are only the old lady Gongsun and the maid and wife left at home, which is very boring.

Now there is finally something to do, and the old lady Gongsun has been looking forward to it for a long time!

Mr. Gongsun went home in a busy schedule, after all, the righteous daughter came to the door for the first time, and he, as a father-in-law, could not be rude.

Seeing her son come back, Mrs. Gongsun's eyes lit up and she beckoned to her son, "Son, I heard that Mrs. Li is about the same age as you, I'll take a closer look in a while." If you like, I'll ask for a matchmaker! ”

At the border gates, the folk customs are simple and unrestrained, and it has never been said that when a man dies, a woman cannot remarry.

However, even if you remarry, you have to follow the rules, and the Ming media is marrying, so you can get everyone's recognition and blessing.

Mrs. Gongsun grew up at the border since she was a child, and even if her son likes Mrs. Li, she does not object.

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Gongsun hurriedly took two steps back, his face embarrassed, "My mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense, you have abruptly assaulted Mrs. Li." ”

Mrs. Gongsun was a little disappointed, as if her son didn't have this mind, "Okay, hey, you, you're just too stubborn." ”

Mr. Gongsun used the action of drinking tea to hide his embarrassment, he couldn't give birth, and he didn't want to harm the woman.

He really didn't have any other thoughts about Mrs. Li purely because of his appreciation!

Mama Cai and Niu Dazhuang were waiting in the gatehouse.

Niu Dazhuang saw Li Xiaoyue coming with Liu Changhuan, and walked over with a smile, "Aunt Li, you can come!" I haven't eaten what you made for a few days, and I'm hungry. ”

Li Xiaoyue saw Niu Dazhuang, who was tall and strong, and smiled, "Niu Zhuangshi, when you finish your errand and go to Dongshan, I will specially invite you to eat the good things I have newly made." ”

Niu Dazhuang's eyes lit up, "Then I remember, Aunt Li, don't forget." ”

"I've always been a man of my word." Mrs. Li said with a smile, when she meets an acquaintance, she will not be cold.

Mama Cai stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Mrs. Li, Miss Changhuan." The old lady is waiting! ”

"There's Mama Lao Cai." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile and followed her to the living room.

When Mrs. Gongsun saw Li Xiaoyue, she was slightly stunned, saying that she was a woman in the countryside, but she didn't believe it.

In addition to ordinary clothes, this temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant is the head of those big families, and that's it.

"Greetings to the old lady, Mr. Gongsun." Li Xiaoyue, Liu Changfu, and Brother Li saluted.

Liu Changhuan followed what his mother had taught him before, and said unhurriedly: "Please say hello to my grandmother and father-in-law." ”

"It's all exempt." Old Madam Gongsun's gaze fell from Li Xiaoyue's body to Liu Changhuan, who was half a step behind, beckoned, and smiled, "Changhuan, come to grandmother's side." ”

Liu Changhuan was a little nervous, but plucked up the courage to walk in front of the old lady Gongsun.

Old Madam Gongsun directly took down a pair of bracelets from her wrist and put them on Liu Changhuan's arm, "Since you call me grandmother, I have to give a meeting gift." ”

Liu Changhuan was stunned and shook his head, "Grandmother, it's too precious." ”

Mr. Gongsun smiled, "The elder gives it, and you can't say goodbye." From now on, the two families will be relatives and move around each other. ”

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyue persuaded her daughter Liu Changhuan, "Changhuan, take it, don't thank you grandmother?" ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Liu Changhuan was a little ashamed on his face, and his tone was sincere, "My father-in-law saved my life, and I will honor my father-in-law and grandmother in the future." ”

Mrs. Gongsun likes people who know how to repay their kindness, "Good boy, I like you when I see you, we have fate." Come and play often in the future! ”

"Yes, grandmother." Liu Changhuan responded, and under the kind gaze of the old lady, he gradually calmed down, "Grandmother, our family is a farmer, you are from a wealthy background, and it is not important to give us any gifts." When I first came to the door, my mother made four new dim sum and talked about it. ”

When Mr. Gongsun came in, his eyes kept looking at the two food boxes that Liu Changfu was carrying.

The things that Mrs. Li brought over were definitely impossible for him to have seen, after all, this was the first time he had come to the door.

"Oh?" The old lady of Gongsun was happy when she saw Liu Changhuan's generosity, "Then I have to taste it." ”

Li Xiaoyue was surprised, she used to think that her eldest daughter was timid, but now it seems that this is not the case.

But it's okay to be bullied, but to be bullied, to be generous and strong, in a place like the border pass, you can better survive.

"I'm tired of Mama Cai taking four plates and a few pairs of chopsticks." Li Xiaoyue chuckled and looked at Mama Cai.

Mama Cai quickly brought four plates and four pairs of chopsticks, and when she opened the food box, she saw two oiled paper bags.

Mama Cai opened the paper bag and put the contents of the paper bag on the plate.

Mama Cai followed the old lady, and she was also well-informed, and she had seen and tried the dim sum in the capital, but she had never seen the four pastries in front of her.

The old lady Gongsun was surprised, Mr. Gongsun was a sweetie, so he directly picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of fried milk and put it in his mouth.

"Charted on the outside and tender on the inside, creamy and delicious. If it just comes out of the pan, it tastes even better. Mother, you can also taste it, no teeth. Mrs. Li, what is this? ”

Li Xiaoyue stepped forward to introduce, "This is called fried milk, followed by almond nougat, chicken cake, and salted meat shortbread." ”

"These things, except for nougat, are more delicious when they are just out of the pot. It's just that I'm busy in the morning, so I can't do it early in the morning, and I ask the old lady and Mr. Gongsun to forgive me, this is the recipe for making these snacks, and please smile. ”

While listening to Li Xiaoyue's explanation, Mr. Gongsun ate snacks with joy in his eyes.

It's a good taste, so that those narrow eyes are wide, not always serious like outside, serious and profound.

Fried milk is so delicious!

Chicken cakes are even tastier!

You can take a few pieces of this nougat with you, and you can eat one piece when you can't eat in time and are dizzy.

There is also this salted meat shortbread, which is crispy on the outside, and the meat and pickle filling on the inside are mixed together, and it is not greasy at all.

"What's so embarrassing?" As soon as he heard Li Xiaoyue write the prescription, Mr. Gongsun blinked his eyes, saying that he was embarrassed, but he acted extremely honestly, and quickly reached out to take the prescription.

Of course, Mr. Gongsun is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage, and he also prepared a generous gift for Liu Changhuan and Li Niangzi.
