Chapter 110: Song Pozi is beaten

"Huh? The boss has been replaced? The diner looked through the window to see the old lady standing in front of the stove, and he walked over and looked in through the window, "Haizhu is not there?" ”

"Well, I'm going to Fucheng." Grandma Qi turned her face and smiled, "Eat wontons or porridge?"

The diner hesitated, "After changing the cook, the rice still tastes like that?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I am my sister's apprentice, and the stuffing is mixed by me, and the taste is still that taste, there is not much difference." Dongzhu felt a little empty in her heart, but her face was full of confidence, she raised her neck and said, "If it's unpalatable, I won't charge you for food." ”

"Okay, to give you face, let's have a bowl of wontons first, and the side dishes should be marinated bean skin and cut into thin strips." It's all here, and the diners don't bother to go to the morning restaurant on the street.

According to the order of Haizhu's cooking, Grandma Qi first scooped a spoonful of soup to wash away the scallion oil, and when the wontons were cooked, scooped them up with a grate and poured them into a bowl, and then handed them to the third child for him to serve out.

Selling wontons and porridge is more profitable than setting up a stall to sell cakes, Dongzhu decided to set up a stall at home, and the stall selling cakes stopped. The family got up before dawn, Dongzhu went to buy meat and handed it to Bei Niang to chop, she also went to buy abalone and put it in, one-to-one to restore the practice of Haizhu, it was still those people who kneaded the bread filling, and the scallion oil was left by Haizhu, They are confident that they can make eight or nine wontons.

As for the shrimp, crab and snails in the seafood porridge, they are all bought fresh at the fishing market in a hurry.

Two more diners came, Dongzhu enthusiastically went to entertain, the other party was stunned for a moment, in the past, they came to eat by themselves, how could anyone entertain them, and now there are people who move stools in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and they are still a little unaccustomed.

"Didn't go to the stall to sell cakes?"

"My sister is not at home, so I will take care of the work in the restaurant first, and the cake stall will stop first." Dongzhu took the initiative to explain.

The two who had just sat down heard that the cook had changed, so they made an excuse to get up and leave.

Winter Pearl: ......

"The taste is okay, it's about the same as your sister." Diners who have already eaten speak out.

"Can you make a difference?" Dongzhu asked.

"If you don't say that I can't eat, if you tell me that I have changed the cook, I can pick a few things that I am not satisfied with." The man smiled, picked up a large wonton and said, "The dough is a little raked, the meat filling is a little loose, and the taste is a little salty." ”

The heat is not right, the strength of the meat filling is not enough, and the saltiness of the raw filling is difficult to grasp, Dongzhu found out the problem in her heart, which is also where her qi is weak.

After eating the wontons, drinking the soup, checking out, and leaving, he asked when he went out, "When will Haizhu come back?" ”

"I don't know." Dongzhu shook her head.

Diners came again, Bei Niang took away the dishes on the table and wiped the table, Dongzhu cheered up again to greet her, most people sat down to order food when they came, and a small number of people heard that the chef had changed and left.

On the third pole of the day, after the time for breakfast, Qi Laosan went to push his second brother over, closed the door and the family began to eat the remaining wontons and porridge.

"There are a lot of wontons left, Bei Niang, you will send two bowls back to your mother later, and you can send two or three bowls to your mother in Dongzhu." Grandma Qi said, "Prepare less tomorrow, if Haizhu doesn't come back today, there will be fewer diners tomorrow morning." ”

Dongzhu took a wonton and bit it, I don't know if it was affected by the diners, she also felt that it was unsatisfactory, and when she was clearly adjusting the filling, she wrapped a wonton and cooked it and tasted it, and it was very good when she ate it for the first time.

"Second uncle, do you think it tastes the same as my sister's cooking?" She asked, looking up.

"I can't make the difference." Second Uncle Qi is telling the truth, he has been sitting for a long time and lying down for a long time, his qi and blood are not smooth, and his tongue has become coarse, and he can't taste good.

"If there is a problem, it will be changed tomorrow, you and your sister are two people, how can you make exactly the same meal, not to mention that it is not one person who is in charge of the fire." Qi Laosan said.

Dongzhu nodded and didn't ask anymore.

A family of seven people all had a round belly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and couldn't wait to move the cash box, the copper plate fell on the table, Bei Niang didn't know how to count, she sat aside to hand the rope to Dongzhu and Fengping.

A hundred brass strung in strings, a total of fifteen strands, and twenty-seven brass remained on the table in bits and pieces.

Buying meat and shrimp and crabs is all Dongzhu's money, she took three strings of copper plates to Grandma Qi and Qi Laosan, Fengping and Second Uncle Qi divided one string equally, and the rest was hers. Excluding the meat money of 170 Wen and the shrimp and crab snails of 70 Wen, there are still 880 Wen left, of which the money for rice, flour, oil and eggs has not been excluded.

"It's okay, it's more money than I make selling bread." Dongzhu was satisfied with the cash box.

"Second sister, I want to eat sugar." Chaoping looked at the copper plate on the table with his eyes open, "I'll move the stool for you." ”

Dongzhu knew it and chose two copper plates for him.

"Hee-hee." Chaoping pinched the copper plate and was happy.

"I'll wash the dishes, Dongzhu, you and your third aunt divide the rest of the wontons and send them to each mother." Grandma Qi got up with the copper plate and said to her youngest son: "Third child, you go to buy two catties of sour bamboo shoots at noon, and buy twenty or thirty eggs, Haizhu is not at home, and buying vegetables is a matter for the two of you." ”

Qi Laosan should be okay and asked Bei Niang: "Do you want me to send you back?" ”

Bei Niang shook her head, she married into the Qi family, and the men in the village didn't dare to say nonsense anymore when they saw her, she wasn't afraid.

Dongzhu came out with a bamboo basket, and when she saw Fengping holding a stick and teaching Chaoping to count, she went out to Hongshi Village by herself.

Passing by the wharf, she saw a big ship parked on the sea, this point should be a merchant ship coming from the river, Dongzhu walked over to see, and saw that there were bananas and peaches for sale, she weighed two catties and carried them away.

"Coming to see your mother again?" The people of Hongshi Village already knew Qin Jingniang's children.

"Well, she didn't leave the village, did she?"

A woman came out to dry with two salted fish, and when she heard the words, she said, "I didn't see her out of the village, but your uncle has come back, just returned." ”

Dongzhu paused as she walked, and took a break to take a look at the road she had come, and continued to walk with her things.

Whenever the stupid dog who barked when she saw her was not at home, Dongzhu approached slowly, and heard the laughter of her little brother through the wall, as well as her mother's gentle nagging, she took a deep breath, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"I've only been gone for a long time, and you don't know your father when I come back." Yu Laishun hugged Pingsheng and patted him.

"He's sleeping, you wake him up, and if he doesn't cry, he's bold." Qin Jingniang sat on the bench and glanced at him, "Unkempt and sour, I thought you called Hanako to come in when you just entered the door, but I didn't bring a knife to cut you." ”

Pingsheng sat on Yu Laishun's lap and nibbled on peaches, Qin Jingniang knew that he had his own careful thoughts when he saw him leaning over, and he had been in contact with the Qi family for a long time, and Yu Laishun was not at home this month, and the child was alienated from him.

"You haven't been away from home for a long time in the future, you have been the same every day in your life, you have grown up and you know that you are shy, when you are not at home, he nagged you every day, asked when you would come back, and now you are silent when you see people." Qin Jingniang said with a smile.

"Okay, if it weren't for the bad weather, I would have come back early, and I would have missed you two in my hometown." Yu Laishun hugged Pingsheng and kissed it.

Dongzhu wasn't sure why she was hiding outside the door and peeking, watching her smiling and talking to another man, comfortable and relaxed, a scene she had only seen in her dreams.

"Mother." She shouted.

The three people in the courtyard turned their heads together, and she clearly saw the change in the expressions of the three people, and the peaceful and warm atmosphere in the courtyard disappeared abruptly.

"Winter Pearl is here." Qin Jingniang got up.

"Dongzhu is here, come in." The smile on Yu Laishun's face retracted a lot, "It's just right to come, I brought something for all four of you." ”

"Second sister." Pingsheng was a little restrained, he slipped down from Yu Laishun's legs, and he didn't dare to look at Dongzhu's eyes with his eyes down.

"I'll bring you some wontons wrapped by myself, as well as my sister's fried scallion oil." Dongzhu was anxious to leave, she put the bamboo basket at the door, put down the bananas and peaches, turned around and left, and found a very suitable excuse: "I don't stay long, I'm going to buy fruit on the boat, it's late, and the fresh ones are picked up." ”

She walked briskly and laughing all the way out of the village, and when the villagers asked her to leave so quickly, she said that she was in a hurry to go to the boat to buy fruit.

When she got out of the village, her pace slowed down, and when she turned her head to see that no one was following her, she turned the road to the seashore and sat on the beach in a daze.

Seabirds landed beside her to eat clams on the beach, tilting their heads to look at her from time to time.

It wasn't until the sun rose overhead, and the scorching sun made her flesh hurt, that Dongzhu got up and walked back.

"Dongzhu, your third aunt has a fight with Hei Qiang's milk." Erwang shouted.

Dongzhu quickly came back to her senses when she heard this, took a quick step and ran into the alley, seeing Mrs. Song pressing on her third aunt and pulling her hair, she screamed and rushed over, dragged Mrs. Song's hair back, and dragged her off Bei Niang.

"You dead hoof—"

Bei Niang listened to her scolding Dongzhu, got up and pressed on Mrs. Song, slapped her face and pinched her neck, trembling all over, and desperately beat her, pinched her, and bit her. Dongzhu also pressed over, and the anger in her body was used to fight out, pulling her hair with one hand, but if she dared to struggle, she would press her head and knock it on the ground.

Grandma Qi was called over to see that Bei Niang and Dongzhu did not suffer, she deliberately tripped and fell to the ground, and it took a long time to get up.

Mrs. Song was beaten and cried, the person riding on her body was pulled away, her head could move, she collapsed on the ground and howled loudly.

"What's going on?" Grandma Qi came over and stood in front of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, "She bullied you?" ”

Bei Niang cried and nodded, she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound, she couldn't cry when she cried.

Grandma Qi took the opportunity to slap Mrs. Song twice, "You are a dead mother-in-law, you are still bullying a little daughter-in-law who can't speak when you are old, and you want to torture your daughter-in-law to go back to your house and toss your own daughter-in-law." ”

"She's a dumb and crazy person who pounces on me and hits me, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet." Mrs. Song sat up violently with two mouths, "You ask, you ask the others, I sat at the door of my house and chatted with them, and she pounced on me and beat me." She relied on the fact that the people living in the alley were all from her clan, and she scolded loudly in a shrill voice.

"You're a dumb maniac." Dongzhu replied, "If my third uncle didn't marry your niece, you will hate us and be jealous of my third aunt, you must have scolded her behind her back to make her hear." Why doesn't she beat others but only you, she doesn't even know you. ”

Bei Niang nodded, pulling Dongzhu and nodding vigorously.

There was a buzzing sound in the alley, and Mrs. Song's face turned red, she didn't expect this dead girl to poke things out, she howled and wanted to get up and beat someone.

Bei Niang immediately pounced again, Grandma Qi and Dongzhu also went up, and the three of them, old and young, beat Song Pozi again.

Chapter 111: Bei Niang

Qi Laosan carried Chaoping and pulled Fengping, and still carried a basket of vegetables in his hand, walked into the alley and heard the commotion at Mrs. Song's house, he took a look, the door blocked the view, and only saw a few gray and purple figures.

"Fengping, your second sister and your third aunt fought with Hei Qiang's milk." Hong Shan stood at the door of her house and whispered, "Go back quickly, Hei Qiang's grandmother said that she would call someone to beat you and drive you away from the alley." ”

Qi Laosan was shocked, and pulled Fengping and walked briskly home.

Feng Ping was pulled into small steps and ran, not forgetting to turn back to Hong Shan and say, "Our house is bought, not rented, and no one can drive us away." ”

The door of the house was half open, and the three uncles and nephews pushed the door directly in, Qi Laosan saw Bei Niang sitting in the yard with a wounded face and shedding tears, He put down Chaoping, threw away the bamboo basket, and turned around to go out.

"Give me back!" Grandma Qi scolded urgently, "Don't make trouble for me, boil two eggs for your daughter-in-law first."

The fights and quarrels between the women were all petty fights, and Mrs. Song was at a loss, and no one in this alley dared to help her partner in beating their ancestors and grandchildren for three generations. If the third child comes to the door to fight, it will be different, and the sons of Mrs. Song can lock him in the yard and beat him half to death.

"We didn't suffer, Mrs. Song's face and arms were bitten and bleeding by Bei Niang." Grandma Qi added.

Bei Niang walked over and grabbed Qi Laosan, she closed the door and didn't let him out.

Dong Zhu sat cross-legged on the ground with excitement on his face, and said, "You don't need to take revenge, my grandmother and I have already vented our anger to the third aunt, and Mrs. Song's face was beaten into a pig's head." ”

Qi Laosan held Bei Niang's face and looked at it, there were slap prints, blood marks on his fingernails, his hair was scattered and stained with ash, and there was ash on his clothes. He folded his sleeves to wipe her tears and asked, "Why did the fight start?" ”

"She scolded my third aunt." Dongzhu grabbed the words, "We rejected her niece, she held a grudge, and she was jealous of my third aunt, so she spread rumors and cursed behind her back, and my third aunt heard it when she came back." ”

"Really?" Qi Laosan asked.

Grandma Qi also looked over and said, "You ask her, she has been crying since she came back, and she has lowered her head when she asks anything." ”

Bei Niang stretched out her hand, her fingers trembled and her wrists trembled, she fought with someone for the first time, she was very flustered and scared, her head was dizzy, she couldn't control it, and she wanted to cry all the time.

"Alright, alright." Qi Laosan half-hugged her, "You go to the kitchen with me to boil water and boil eggs, and I'll pour you a bowl of water to drink." Mother, she's scared, don't ask. ”

"What is there to ask, it must be Mrs. Song's fault, my third aunt is so honest that a mouse can bite her." Dongzhu muttered.

Grandma Qi scooped a basin of water over, "Come and wash your face, don't interfere in this matter." ”

Dongzhu was not convinced, she washed her face and opened the door and walked out, standing in the middle of the alley staring at Mrs. Song's house, she thought in her heart that if someone came to the door, she would go to Shen's house to find someone to come and support her.
