Chapter 23: I thought you were still thinking about my uncle at such an old age

After the precipitated starch mud, Li Mumu took it to the courtyard to dry.

"Tomorrow afternoon, it should be about the same." Li Mumu said, "The drier this powder is, the better, we have time, we can make more, and it will not be a problem to put it for a year." ”

"It's the first time I've seen anything like this." Wang Cuizhen said in surprise.

"Made with sweet potatoes, cheap and filling." Li Mumu said, "Our Gujia snack stall is now focusing on a cheap and delicious business for ordinary people." ”

"Yes." Zhang Caiping also heard the sound and came over, "There are a few rich people in our town, it is the only restaurant in our town, and not many people are willing to eat." ”

The next day, Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping went to town.

Li Mumu went to the mountains and picked a lot of dogwoods back.

Make spicy seeds from dogwood and store them in jars.

Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping came back in the afternoon, and as soon as they entered the village, Aunt Li, who lived at the entrance of the village, saw the two pieces of cloth that Zhang Caiping was holding in her arms.

Zhang Caiping didn't put the cloth on the cart for fear of getting dirty.

"Yo, Gu family's daughter-in-law, is your family rich? Why did you buy new cloth? Aunt Li shouted at the top of her voice.

This voice caused many people to shout out of their homes.

This is exactly what Zhang Caiping wants.

She also pulled her throat and said loudly: "Our family Mumu, we don't need to go down to the field to do those rough work." I'll do the rough work, these two pieces of cloth just make new clothes for Mu Mu. ”

Aunt Li couldn't help pouting, "Yo, you don't do anything at home, and you have new clothes to wear, your family is too good for your new daughter-in-law." ”

Wang Cuizhen laughed, "Aunt Li, it's useless for you to be envious, at such an old age, and with Uncle Li, there is no chance to marry our Gu family." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Cuizhen's words immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Phew!" Aunt Li jumped to her feet angrily, and pointed at Wang Cuizhen with a swollen face, "What are you talking about!" Shameless! ”

"You want a face, you want a face, don't stare at my third brother and sister all day long." Zhang Caiping said loudly, "What I know is that you like to chew the root of your tongue, provoke other people's family relations, and can't see other people's families at all, and I don't know that you think that you are still worried about my uncle at such an old age." ”

"I tore your mouth!" Aunt Li rushed forward angrily.

None of the people on both sides stopped it, and it was too late to see the excitement.

Wang Cuizhen directly rolled up her sleeves and blocked in front of Zhang Caiping, "Come on!" See if you can beat me! ”

She is Wang Cuizhen, but she is a famous fierce woman in their village!

A handful of strength, few people can beat.

Aunt Li's footsteps were stunned, no matter how spicy she was, she also knew Wang Cuizhen's combat effectiveness.

But that's all said and done, and Aunt Li can't just retreat.

Otherwise, where will her face go?

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard Gu Shangyong shouting: "Cuizhen, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Cuizhen sneered, "Some people are not happy to see us buy new cloth for Mu Mu." When it cost her family's money. ”

Gu Shangyong doesn't like to pretend to be kind to them now, so he strode over directly and protected Wang Cuizhen's body, "I advise some people to take care of their own family first, and don't take care of my family's affairs!" ”

Gu Shangyong is here, Aunt Li really can't please this time, so she can only snort and go home with a blushing face.

Uncle Li was not at home at this time, and he couldn't help at all.

"Let's go, leave them alone." Gu Shangyong said, taking the initiative to push the cart.

Wang Cuizhen took a piece of cloth from Zhang Caiping's arms.

When the three of them entered the courtyard, Wang Cuizhen smiled and shouted: "Mu Mu, come and see the color we chose for you, do you like it or not." ”

"It's coming!" Li Mumu hurriedly wiped his hands and greeted him.

"The color you said, I looked at it with my sister-in-law, but it wasn't tender enough." Zhang Caiping explained, "There are pink and blue in the shop, but the blue is indigo, and the pink is very bright. It just so happened that the boss said that this piece of green was a new color that had just come from Jiangnan. I looked at this tender one like a freshly smoked sprout, and I thought about how it would look on you, and I immediately felt that it was very suitable, so I bought it. ”

"We told the boss that if we don't like it, as long as the cloth is not damaged, we can go back and change it." Wang Cuizhen said with a smile, "How about you take a look?" ”

"It's so pretty!" Li Mumu took the cloth with a smile, "I like this color, thank you sister-in-law and sister-in-law." ”

"What's polite, I have to thank my mother." Wang Cuizhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, mother!" Li Mumu turned his head again and thanked Gu's mother who had just come over.

"As long as you like." Gu's mother looked at the other piece of cloth in Zhang Caiping's arms with a smile, "Why did you two buy one?" ”

"One piece of cloth can make two sets of clothes, I discussed with my sister-in-law, and one piece of cloth for the two of us is enough." Zhang Caiping took out the money bag that Gu's mother gave her yesterday, "Mother, this is the rest of the money." ”

Both of these pieces of cloth are ordinary coarse cloths and are not fine, so they are not expensive.

"Give me all the cloth, and I'll make it for you." Gu's mother accepted the money handed by Zhang Caiping and said.

Now Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping are busy with the stalls in the town, and Li Mumu is cooking at home and studying food, which also helps her a lot.

Gu's mother's work is much lighter than before.

"How's business going today?" Li Mumu asked.

"The people who came to the queue today are similar to yesterday." Zhang Caiping said, "I think the taste of the brine sold by the store is really not good, so there are many fewer people who go to their house to buy it today than yesterday." ”

Wang Cuizhen has been thinking about the hot and sour noodles that Li Mumu said, "Mumu, what kind of sour are you...... Hot and sour noodles, how are the preparations? ”

"That's easy." Li Mumu said with a smile, "When my father and eldest brother and second brother come back from their work, let's try it tonight." ”

In the afternoon, Li Mumu taught the three babies to read.

When Gu's father and the three came back, Li Mumu went to prepare dinner with Wang Cuizhen.

Wang Cuizhen watched Li Mumu take a piece of cloth with many holes, mix the sweet potato flour into a paste and squeeze it in the cloth.

The sweet potato flour paste became vermicelli, peeking out of the holes in the cloth and falling into a pot of boiling water.

It didn't take long for the sweet potato flour to be boiled into clear vermicelli.

Li Mumu took it out, put it in a large soup bowl, sprinkled diced pork with marinated water on it, poured in pork bone broth, added soy sauce and vinegar, sprinkled some crispy soybeans and chopped green onions, and took it to the house.

Hot and sour noodles are placed on the table, steaming hot, exuding a sour fragrance.

"That's what you call hot and sour noodles?" Gu's mother asked curiously.

"Now it can only be called sour powder, because it hasn't been spicy yet." Li Mumu explained with a smile.

"Originally, this was supposed to be a bowl per person, but I thought that not everyone would like to eat it, so I put it in a big bowl, and the big guys tasted it together, and ate more if they liked, and didn't eat what they didn't like." Li Mumu explained.
