Xiaobao will call her mother!

Tiangu was surprised and delighted, and Du Shi was also happy.

Tiangu couldn't take care of the wontons she was wrapping, so she walked over and hugged her big fat son and kissed her: "Good Xiaobao!" Good son! ”

Her eyes were red, and she wanted to say that in the nineteen years of her life, the greatest gift from God was this child. Xiaobao is not her own child, two years after marrying into the Gu family, she went back to the mountain, originally wanted to dig some wild vegetables, who knew that she suddenly heard a cry on the road, so she took a detour and picked up the child, and then when she went down the mountain, she heard that there were wild boars in the place where she originally went, and injured several villagers who went up the mountain to dig vegetables.

Originally, I thought that my mother-in-law was unwilling, but what I didn't expect was that the old lady of the Gu family looked at the child, and easily agreed, and only made one request, so that the child's surname was Gu, and the sweet aunt had no objection, and the child called it Gu Jialang's species.

Gu Jialang has been dead for three years, and no one believes it, but whether you believe it or not, sometimes it doesn't matter that much. Just when his mother brought a grandson to his family, could it be that he Gu Jialang didn't recognize it when he came back?

Du Shi also knew about this, and sighed a little when he saw this scene: "Actually, it's good, giving birth to a child is like walking away in a ghost gate, sister, you don't have to suffer this crime to have such a lovely son as Xiaobao." ”

Tiangu smiled: "Oh too." ”

The two continued to make wontons, and Du Shi discovered the "true face" of this wonton and smiled: "It's really like dumplings!" But this skin is really thin! ”

Tiangu smiled: "Yes, I used some fish for this filling, didn't we buy a fresh fish yesterday, the fish is fresh!" If you don't have fish in the future, you will use lean meat, but the soup has to be hung with bone broth, and wild vegetables in spring can also be used as fillings, the most common is shepherd's cabbage, which is very fresh! ”

Du Shi wrote them down one by one, and soon, the dough quickly became a big wonton with thin skin and big filling in the hands of the sweet girl, and it was too late to hang the soup today, so I had to use the dried mushrooms in the spring to make a mushroom soup, fortunately, the mushrooms were still delicious, and the soup base was also quite strong, and the last boiled wontons were also delicious to drink.

Wontons are different from dumplings, pay attention to drinking soup, a mouthful of wonton soup sucks a wonton up, shouting "hot and hot" in the mouth, while enjoying the refreshing feeling of the filling bursting juice, Du Shi laughed after drinking a big bowl heartily: "No wonder you said you want to hang the broth, this taste, if the chicken soup is cooked, it must be more beautiful!" ”

Tiangu smiled: "That's the truth." ”

After learning two pasta dishes, Du Shi seemed to have taken a reassuring pill.

"I'm not afraid if I go to the competition tomorrow! Even if you lose, you can still learn two dishes to eat, which is cost-effective! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the village chief sent someone over to pass the word, and the day after tomorrow, the three families went to the village chief's house together, and let the people in the village vote for it, and the content of the competition was to make the best two or three dishes.

Du Shi was happy when he heard it: "The day after tomorrow, that feeling is good!" ”

Tiangu also said: "Then tomorrow we will do individual tricks." ”

Du Shi couldn't close his mouth with joy: "Thank you, sister, thank you, you're tired today, so let's rest quickly." ”

Tiangu nodded and went back to the room with Xiaobao in her arms.

-

The rain at the border is indeed the same as what Du Shi said, the day does not fall at night, and when night falls, Tiangu looks at the heavy rain outside the window and takes out her small account book.

In the Gu family for three years, Tiangu actually saved some money, of course, this money was not saved by herself behind her mother-in-law's back, but she quietly made some food and went to the town to sell it.

In the spring, she makes mushroom sauce, in the summer, she boils loquat sugar, in the autumn, and in autumn, she can make some beef and mutton jerky, anyway, she will do whatever she makes money.

The small ledger recorded every one of her expenses in the past two or three years, and before coming to the border gate, Tiangu exchanged them for silver tickets, not much, only ten taels, but these ten taels were saved by her one copper plate after another, and the meaning was completely different. The silver ticket of ten taels of silver was carefully sewn into her clothes by her, which was very secretive, and she did not want to move it during her time at the border unless there were special circumstances.

There is still some loose silver on the body, which was given to her by her mother-in-law when she left, for more than a month, the road fee and the rent fee, almost only two taels left, Tiangu sighed, if this road has not been repaired well, she is afraid that she will have to think of a money-making livelihood in Chenjia Village, and people can't hang themselves on a tree.

While coaxing her son, the sweet aunt gradually fell asleep......

Next.

As soon as Du Shi got up, he found that Tiangu was busy working in the yard.

"Why so early?" Du Shi hurriedly came over.

"Make cool skin today, this process is more complicated, let's prepare early."

Dushi: "Cool skin? ”

Tiangu smiled: "It's also a kind of pasta, a bit like cold noodles, but it's not quite the same." ”

Du Shi then saw that Tiangu had been washing her face, and the process of washing her face was really annoying, and she had to keep rubbing it, and the water for washing her face soon turned milky white.

"This cool skin is made of this gnocchi? Isn't this all formed? ”

Sweet Aunt: "No, use this facial cleanser to make it." ”

Du Shi must have been even more surprised, but saw that Tiangu had already poured the water for washing her face into a large basin: "Let's let it sink down, let's only need a part." ”

After that, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Last night's rain, the road conditions are even worse, but in the morning the weather is not bad, the air is fresh, and there is no annoying smell of yellow sand.

Uncle Guo brought the news, but the person who built the road from the government has not yet arrived! When the sweet aunt heard this, her heart was cold.

"Why didn't you arrive?"

Uncle Guo sighed: "Why else, there is a lack of people, and I don't want to come!" There have been few people in this government in the past few years, and there have been a lot of strong young people in the conscription, how can you expect those old men to come over and build roads? ”

"Then ask someone for you."

"That's the problem, there's no one to ask for, and I heard that the honorarium has been paid this amount, but there is no one."

Du Shi was surprised: "No one comes for two taels a month?" My God, if I didn't have that ability, I would have gone straight away! ”

Tiangu also smiled helplessly: "That's the truth." ”

Uncle Guo was happy: "Who doesn't think so!" So the official master is about to die of sorrow in the past two days, but I heard another news, that is, he may send someone from the army to help. ”

Sweet aunt paused: "People in the army? Is it the Chengyang Army? ”

Uncle Guo smiled: "It's impossible, what is the status of the Chengyang Army, how could it be that you come here for this little thing." ”

The Chengyang Army is known as the Northern Zhen'an Army, defending the safety of the border passes, and Tiangu thought it was impossible to think about it, so she didn't continue to ask.

The washing water that had been precipitated for half a day was poured out of the upper layer of water, leaving only the snow-white batter water, and the sweet aunt brought it to the kitchen.

Get out of the pot and boil the water, take out a tween, brush it with a thin layer of oil, pour in the white batter water like a cake, the braider can float up in the boiling water, hold the batter, roll it quickly, the white batter inside becomes thin and even, and then go to the pot to steam, the dough that comes out of the end is thin and crystal clear, Du Shi exclaimed: "This is the cool skin?!" ”

Tiangu smiled: "Not yet." ”

I saw that her hand was up and down, and a piece of dough was evenly cut, put it on a plate, and then stacked the cut courgette shreds and blanched bean sprouts, poured with water, chili oil, if any, and sprinkled with a few peanuts.

Du Shi was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Every time you do something, I think my eyes know it, but when I really do it myself, my hands and feet don't know it at all." ”

Du's cooking skills are really poor, over the years, most of them can only have those few dishes and pasta, but Tiangu patiently teaches.

She smiled: "This thing is nothing rare, just pay attention to a skill, you can try more." ”

"Done! Then I'll try it too! By the way, how is this water adjusted? ”

"It's simple, just coarse, sauce, spice powder, oil and spicy seeds, I can tell you the amount, and it's a recipe."

Du Shi was ashamed: "I didn't do anything great for you, sister, but you really helped me too much." ”

Tiangu was cleaning her hands, and when she heard the words, she said: "I am new to the place where I am not familiar with life, Sister Chunhua helped me far more than you think, it is just a few inconspicuous snacks, nothing to worry about." ”

Du Shi felt a little better in his heart, and began to concentrate on making cool skin.

This cool skin is also a summer special food, sour and hot appetizing, especially a mouthful of dough and a mouthful of shredded courgette, soaked in red oil, full of vinegar, fried peanuts taste crispy and crispy, and then drink a bowl of millet porridge, refreshing!

Du Shi studied for a long time, and the production was almost decent.

Tiangu and Du were busy taking the stall at the entrance of Chenjia Village, and hundreds of miles away, Tiangu was worried about building roads, and they were also in the midst of a fierce and secret battle.

Chenjia Village is just a village, there is no county government, thirty miles outside is Cangshan Town, Cangshan Town is only a few catches, only seventy miles away in Qingshan County, there is a real sense of the county government. This time, the road dredging and blocking in Chenjia Village was the errand of Zheng Youhai, the county commander of Qingshan County.

Zheng Youhai couldn't eat the food he had been worried about for the past two days, and this heavy rain was not only washed away by a few families in Chenjia Village, but also homeless people making trouble at the gate of the county government every day, Zheng Youhai didn't dare to go out, and these things were completely handed over to the master.

"What's going on, you can recruit someone today?!"

In the afternoon, the master walked in quickly, Zheng Youhai saw it, and thought that he had finally recruited someone today, but he didn't expect the master to be a little flustered: "Master, don't worry about that matter first, someone is coming from outside!" ”

Zheng Youhai was stunned: "Someone's coming?" Who's coming? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the hooves of a team of galloping horses quickly stopped at the gate of the county office, Zheng Youhai followed the master out, only glanced at the horse, and then stepped forward quickly in astonishment: "Xiaguan see General Gu!" I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, and you, the general, are blowing?! ”

These dozen horses are all good sweat and blood horses, sitting on a dozen tall men in armor, majestic, but the most imposing, when the one at the front, sword eyebrows and black eyes, holding the reins, burly and straight, can give birth to a sense of oppression without speaking.

It's no wonder that Zheng Youhai is a county magistrate, kneeling here, but in a cold sweat.
