Chapter 10: Taste the Food
"I see."
Ding Ling nodded perfunctorily, Zhou Xiaomei is just a girl, how can she care about her.
But if Zhou Xiaomei really rode on her head, she would definitely make a move.
Ding Ling had to buy materials if he wanted to implement the plan, and said to Zhou Wenshan, "You go to the town to buy some rock candy, I want to make something to eat and sell it." ”
She has been making a small calculation in her heart, hawthorn is wild in the mountains, and there is no need for silver.
Although rock candy costs its own silver taels, it doesn't need to be used too much, and if it can be sold, it will definitely make some money.
The money is not much, but it can also be used to supplement the family.
"The price of rock candy is not low, how much do you need?" Zhou Wenshan asked, with a slight hesitation on his face.
Ding Ling saw through his thoughts and swore a promise: "You don't need a lot, you just look at it and buy some." Trust me, you won't lose money. ”
You won't lose money, but it's hard to say how much you'll make.
Seeing that Ding Ling's fawn-like eyes were so firm, he nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to the town to buy it now, and you and Wen Jing can clean the game you brought back at home." ”
"Good!"
When Zhou Wenshan came back, it was already dark.
After he bought back the rock candy, he handed over the kitchen to Ding Ling, and then went to work on his own.
When I was in the mountains, the wild boar was just randomly divided and simply disposed of, and when I got home, I had to rinse and cut it into pieces.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Zhou Wenjing ran to the kitchen and stood next to the stove to watch, his eyes full of curiosity.
Ding Ling was boiling rock candy at this time, and she pointed to the hawthorn next to her, "Rock candy and hawthorn, what do you think I'm going to do?" ”
Zhou Wenjing, who heard the words, had a confused expression and looked at Ding Ling with blank eyes.
Ding Ling hooked the corners of his lips when he saw him like this, "I want to make rock sugar gourds." ”
"Rock sugar gourd? What is this? ”
Only then did Ding Ling realize that the rock sugar gourd was a rarity for them, and he felt that his idea was feasible.
"The gourd is not a real gourd, it is a hawthorn that is skewered into a gourd-like shape, and then wrapped in rock sugar. It's sweet and sour when you bite into it, and it's a delicious snack. ”
Zhou Wenjing's eyes lit up, and his tone became excited and excited: "I want to eat, I want to eat!" ”
They can't usually eat this kind of snack, and when they see it, they can only swallow saliva silently.
Ding Ling smiled and nodded, seeing that the corners of Zhou Wenjing's mouth were about to grin behind his ears. She rolled the washed hawthorn next to her into the sugar pot.
Crystal clear sugar shreds wrapped in hawthorn.
"Here, taste." Ding Ling handed him the things, and it was at this time that Zhou Xiaomei walked into the kitchen.
She didn't expect to see Ding Ling here, and her expressionless face was instantly pulled down.
"It's delicious! My sister-in-law is really ingenious, not only is she beautiful, but the things she makes are delicious! Zhou Wenjing took a bite and began to praise.
Zhou Xiaomei pretended to come over, wanting to see what she was doing, but she couldn't help but explode when she heard her brother's words.
"Zhou Wenjing, you are the grass on the wall, right? A little bit of food will buy you, look at your little interest! It's a shame for our Zhou family! Zhou Xiaomei's tone was as bitter as ever.
Zhou Wenjing, who heard the words, immediately lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
But Ding Ling couldn't stand it anymore, she said directly: "Are you sure you want to continue like this?" ”
"What do I have to do with you? Why do you speak to me in such a tone? Zhou Xiaomei knew that Zhou Wenshan was not present now, and she spoke with a straight back.
She just bet that Ding Ling didn't dare to do anything to herself, so she would be so presumptuous.
Zhou Wenjing saw that the two were going to quarrel because of themselves, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Zhou Xiaomei's sleeve: "Sister, don't quarrel, Brother Wenshan was unhappy in the morning, and if you attract him over later, you will inevitably be talked!" ”
He was also kind to persuade him.
"How long has she only been through the door, and you're just facing her like this?" Zhou Xiaomei was even more angry.
"I didn't! You misunderstood me! Zhou Wenjing's little face turned red, he really couldn't afford to offend him horizontally and vertically.
Ding Ling also got along with her for a while, and knew what she was afraid of: "I'm your sister-in-law, if you have to let me educate you well, it's not impossible." But if you alarm your brother and make your brother angry, then you will bear the consequences. ”
Of course, Zhou Xiaomei heard her own words.
"Humph! Too lazy to argue with you! Zhou Xiaomei gave herself a step down, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and left.
There were only the two of them left in the kitchen, and Zhou Wenjing raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that his sister was gone.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. Let's have one more string! Ding Ling said and continued to make a plug for him.
Zhou Wenjing continued to eat under her comfort, while Ding Ling made the remaining hawthorns and placed them neatly on the plate.
Ding Ling felt a sense of accomplishment when she looked at these, and suddenly she remembered that she hadn't given Zhou Wenshan a taste yet: "I'll send your brother a bunch to taste!" ”
Zhou Wenjing's mouth was so stuffed that he couldn't speak like a little hamster, so he could only nod his head to indicate that he understood.
Ding Ling walked to the yard with a sugar gourd with light steps, and Zhou Wenshan not far away was washing pork, and she faintly smelled a little fishy.
Zhou Wenshan, who heard the footsteps, stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look.
"I made a sugar gourd, bring it to you to taste, Wenjing said it tasted good." Ding Ling said generously, there is nothing embarrassing about sharing food.
Zhou Wenshan looked at the red rock sugar gourd in her hand and raised his eyebrows: "You feed me, my hands are dirty, I can't catch them." ”
In fact, Zhou Wenshan deliberately wanted to tease her, and of course he also wanted to shorten the distance between each other and enhance the relationship.
Ding Ling, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and his face became a little blushing: "Can't you eat it yourself?" ”
"My hands are dirty, and I still have to work, and it's too time-consuming to wash, so it's not as fast as you feed me." As he spoke, Zhou Wenshan deliberately raised his hand to show her and deliberately approached her.
Having said that, Ding Ling has no choice.
She stepped forward and handed the sugar gourd pinched by her fingers to Zhou Wenshan's mouth, and at that moment Ding Ling felt that she couldn't breathe.
On the contrary, Zhou Wenshan calmly bit the sugar gourd, and the corners of his mouth gently rubbed against her fingers, and the scene was ambiguous.
And Zhou Wenshan also licked his lips deliberately, "It's delicious." ”
Not only that, but Zhou Wenshan's eyes also looked at Ding Ling directly, and those who didn't know thought that Ding Ling was the food.
After this operation, Ding Ling was really shy, and his little face was completely blushing, but he still quietly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Isn't there anything to improve?" Ding Ling also wanted to make the rock sugar gourd better, after all, this was his first experiment.
Zhou Wenshan thought for a while, and slowly said: "It would be better if two more layers of sugar were added, but the sugar just now still failed to neutralize the acid of hawthorn." ”
The two of them didn't know that someone was staring at them at this moment.
"Why, why are you so happy?"
