Chapter 179: The restaurant is open again

It rained for more than ten days, as soon as the day cleared, Haizhu quickly took the quilt out to dry, and the yard was full of hemp rope, and the yard was full of quilts, and the clothes were taken to the yard where Qi Laosan lived to dry.

Xingzhu was also moved out to dry, the cradle was placed in the sun, she washed it and wrapped it in a diaper and lay in the cradle, listening to the footsteps with her ears pricked up, and she kicked her feet happily when Haizhu passed by.

"Comfortable in the sun, right?" Haizhu talked to her in her clothes, She glanced into the cradle, The flesh on her body was white, and the people of Quang Nam could probably maintain a white skin when they were infants.

"Haizhu, are you going to the river to do laundry?" Qi Laosan asked.

"Go, you're going too?"

"Well, your little sister's clothes are all damp, and there is a musty smell, so you have to wash them all before drying them. Diapers too, with a quick wash of the diligent sun does not dry, a smell of stinking baking. Qi Laosan packed a basket of diapers and clothes and came out.

Haizhu glanced at the kitchen, her third aunt was washing the stove and brushing the lid, the water tank against the wall was out of water, and she was clean and leaning against the wall to dry, and this small courtyard was neatly cleaned up by her.

Dongzhu pinched a few more diapers and ran over, "Third uncle, give, my little sister's diaper." Sister, the wooden cart has been packed, let's go. ”

"Bei Niang, I moved Xingzhu next door." Qi Laosan moved to the cradle and walked out, the family was busy, he put the child next to his second brother, and went back to get a bag and quilt to cover her, and then followed the car with a basket of diapers and basins.

"Yo, the third child went to the river to do laundry?" The neighbors passing by were surprised, "Where is your Bei Niang?" ”

"She's tidying up at home and watching the kids." Qi Laosan said.

"It's a daughter-in-law who will feel sorry for her."

"He feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, and we are scolded every day." Father Hong Shan came out and pointed at Qi Laosan, and said, "When you leave later, I will be scolded." ”

"If you're afraid of being scolded, be diligent." Haizhu snorted.

"Why am I not diligent? At the end of the year, I can have lunch at home for three months, and I don't eat idle food, and I have to mend the fishing nets......"

"Gotta get it, don't tell me about it, I won't call the shots for you." Haizhu pulled the car and walked fast.

The people in the alley who heard this laughed, and the old woman who lived at the mouth of the alley came out and asked, "Haizhu, why don't you sell wontons?" I'm still hungry for that smell. ”

"I don't sell wontons this year, people can't be busy, and when the weather is sunny for two days, the ground is dried, and I sell meat whistle powder, bone broth as a base, and boil it for one night." Haizhu said.

"Okay, I'll just wait."

Go to the river through the alley, the river is already full of people, Qi Laosan first goes to find an empty place, puts down the basket to occupy a place, and then goes to help Haizhu and Dongzhu unload things.

The big wooden basin filled with water, and the sheets and clothes were soaked in, and then the soap corner was smashed and foamed, and it was poured in. Qi Laosan had a lot of strength, moved stones and carried a mallet to beat diapers, smashed and rubbed again, rubbed and hammered, and the people on the side beat their clothes and waved their shoulders painfully, seeing the strength of his beating, he couldn't help but say: "The job of washing clothes seems to be more suitable for men." ”

Haizhu also felt that she washed the thin and light clothes first, and when her third uncle finished washing the diapers, she carried the bulky sheets and sheets to him to wash, and he was strong and strong, easily holding the sheets and rubbing them.

It was noon after a cart of dirty laundry was washed, and the people who came to wash the clothes by the river never stopped, and when they pulled the cart back, they met people who were about to pass by with clothes baskets.

When it rains, every household is cleaned, and it is busier than the New Year.

When I got home, I found that Pingsheng had come over, and Haizhu asked, "Mother sent you here?" It's been raining for so long, and everything is okay at home? ”

"I brought Xiao Huang here myself, and the family is fine."

Haizhu swept around the yard with a hemp rope and asked, "What about the dog?" ”

"I sent it back again, my brother accompanied me to send it back, and he said that he wanted Xiao Huang to guard his mother at home." Pingsheng came out with two bowls, and after the bowls were placed on the table, he ran into the house to continue to take the bowls.

Haizhu glanced at Fengping, this kid is really careful, and he understands a lot of things, Yu Laishun is not at home, Hongshi Village is deserted, and it is not safe for a woman to be at home.

She went to the courtyard of Han's house to pull a rope, and the sheets and clothes were hung at his house, and there was really no place in her house.

"I heard Erwang Milk say that you want to make meat whistle powder to sell? Where's the table? Put the courtyard where your third uncle lives, there are people living next door, don't set a table in someone's yard, it smells big. Grandma Qi served two bowls of rice and handed them to Haizhu and Dongzhu.

Haizhu nodded, "I think so too, my third aunt will clean up the house, and Xingzhu can be brought here to sleep without delaying anything." The words fell and said to Bei Niang: "Third aunt, you will be in the future, at most you will be busy with the sea ban period this year and next year." ”

"Married the year after?" Qi Laosan asked coldly.

"Almost, can't you give up on me? What is there to be reluctant to, they will still live together when the time comes, at most they will be separated by a wall. Haizhu said with a smile.

"The year after next is about the same." Grandma Qi glanced at Dongzhu and said, "In two years, Dongzhu will be thirteen or fourteen years old." ”

Dongzhu only eats and doesn't answer.

After the meal, Haizhu went to find the pig killer, and found that the shop door was closed, and the owner of the bamboo goods next door said: "The official ship came to the wharf, saying that it was bringing grain, meat and oil, and the pork guy went to pull the pig." ”

"I'll go check it out, too." Haizhu walked to the pier.

There were two official boats parked at the wharf, the ones on board were unloading, the grain trucks of the grain shops were stacked with bags of grain, and the ships docked in the bay heard the howling of pigs and the cooing of chickens and ducks.

The two old grandmothers sitting on the beach were also looking over here, Haizhu went to inquire with Du Xiaowu, and learned that they didn't come over every day, but they came to sit when they had nothing to do at home.

"How much is the price of rice today?" The steward of the official ship asked the porter who carried the goods.

"I bought trendy rice today, as long as five cents a pound, the dried porridge is still very fragrant, and it does not affect eating."

"When I was rushing to the sea in the morning, I picked up a big grouper, and sold it for money to weigh two catties of good rice, fifteen wen a catty." Another porter said.

The steward remembered the price of grain, and he came to greet Haizhu.

"It's hard to travel on the sea in this kind of day, so you should be careful." Haizhu said.

"Hey, isn't it, a few days ago I encountered a merchant ship that ran aground at sea, if it hadn't met us, that merchant ship would probably have sunk in the sea." The steward sighed.

"Be careful, don't take any chances." Haizhu saw the pork guy carrying the fat pig back, she said, "You are busy, I'll go back." ”

The pigs were still howling, and Haizhu followed and asked, "Don't we have pigs here?" ”

"Yes, but the pork stir-fry brought by ship is more fragrant, and I'd rather pay a little more to buy it from out of town. You came to me for something? ”

"Yes, tomorrow you leave me two barrel bones, as long as the bones don't want meat, I'll take them back to make soup. From the day after tomorrow, I also kept the lean meat on the hind leg of the pig, and I took it back to fry the meat whistle. ”

"Okay, I'll keep it for you when you say hello, and I'll give you the pork barrel bones, no money." At the fork in the road, the pork guy said, "I'm going back to kill the pig, and I won't tell you." ”

Haizhu went to the street, she went to the grain store to weigh more than ten catties of freshly beaten soybeans, went back to scoop water to wash off the ashes, and stepped on the wooden ladder to climb the wall to dry on the roof.

By the time it is harvested in the evening, the water vapor has already dried.

……

The next day, the mattress and bamboo mats dried in the yard were moved in, the yard was empty, Haizhu went to the vegetable field to pull bundles of green onions back, and the green onion leaves were washed and spread under the eaves to dry.

"Don't you really want to help? If you don't want me to help, I'll push your second uncle out for a walk. Grandma Qi said.

"I don't want your help, you can go out and play, you can go to the beach and go around, there are merchant ships near the dock, it's very lively." Haizhu answered.

"That's far away, it's okay, I'll go to see your mother again, she's quite lonely at home alone."

The family was empty, Haizhu locked the door and went to the street to buy two jars of vegetable oil for Xiao Er to send her back, one of which was poured into the pot when it was hot, dried soybeans under the cold oil, and licked the bottom of the pot on a low fire in the stove, the oil temperature rose little by little, and the soybeans were bubbling in the oil pot.

Bei Niang came, she held a bowl, there were two chicken feet in the bowl, Haizhu likes to nibble on chicken feet in her spare time, and her stewed chicken feet are left for her to eat.

"Where's the star bead? Still sleeping? Haizhu sat under the stove with chicken feet and gnawed.

Bei Niang nodded, she looked into the oil pot, the soybeans were fried and bursting, and the pot was bubbling with the aroma of oil and beans.

"Third aunt, you learn, soybeans are put in the pot with cold oil, fried slowly over low heat, and when they are fried, they are scooped up and sprinkled with salt, and then you sell this when you sell braised vegetables, not only men like to eat when they drink, but women and children also like to eat. You fried it over there, and I don't have to bother in the future, I can get the goods directly from you. Haizhu said.

Bei Niang pondered carefully, she planned to buy less tomorrow and try to fry two bowls. There were children sleeping at home, and she didn't stay long, so the chicken feet were delivered and the bowl was gone.

The two chicken paws gnawed until only the bones remained, Haizhu washed her hands and stirred the oil pot with inexhaustibility, she twisted a fried soybean and blew it, threw it in her mouth and tasted it, it was already crispy.

She took the oil grate to fish the soybeans and put them in the pot, scooped up the oil in the pot, and then moved the cutting board to the yard to cut green onion leaves.

The soybeans and scallion oil were fried, and in the evening, Haizhu poured the cooled oil into the jar, and she locked the door and went to the pork shop to get the tube bones, and bought two bundles of rice noodles.

"Sell breakfast tomorrow morning, right?" The people in the alley saw it and asked.

"Yes, you can go out and have breakfast again." Haizhu said, "I'm going back to stew bone broth, so I won't talk to you." ”

When she got home, she found that Grandma Qi and Second Uncle Qi had returned, Dongzhu and Fengping were about to send Pingsheng back, and Haizhu packed two packets of fried soybeans in oiled paper for Pingsheng to take back to eat.

"Come over tomorrow morning when the sun rises, come here for dinner, you and your mother will come." Haizhu instructed.

"Okay, can I bring Xiao Huang over?"

"I can bring it, bring your dog who slammed the door out to see the world, and I'll keep the two big bones for it." Turning around, Haizhu said: "Let's eat noodles at night, my third aunt stewed chicken over there, I'll just cook a few bowls of noodles and eat them, eat early and go to bed early, and eat when I wake up hungry tomorrow morning." ”

Others naturally have no opinion, Haizhu pinched the powder and soaked it in the water basin, she carried the pig barrel bones to scrape and clean, and called her third uncle to split it in half with a bone chopping knife, stuffed it all into a large clay pot, filled it with water, and then chopped off the bonito meat and threw it into the stove to hang the soup together.

Dongzhu and Fengping ran back before dark, and when they arrived at Haizhu, they went to boil water and boil powder, scald some vegetable leaves, and then fried an egg for one person, poured a spoonful of scallion oil into the bowl, and dinner was good.

"Third uncle and third aunt, you two will spare someone to help me entertain the diners tomorrow morning." Haizhu said after the meal.

"Okay, I'll come here." Qi Laosan answered, Xingzhu was breastfeeding at night, Bei Niang couldn't sleep well, she slept more in the morning.

There was an extra stove to hang the soup, and no matter who got up at night, he had to go to see the fire, and the stove was placed in the courtyard, and there was a tree stump stuck in it to burn, until the stars and moon were hidden in the clouds, and the last spark was extinguished.

Haizhu got up and touched the jar, it was still warm.

"I'll go to the pork shop and get meat." She said.

"I'll pry the oysters, and you will shout longevity." Dongzhu raked the latte and said, "Sister, Changsheng will also go with us to set up a stall to sell cakes." ”

"Whatever you want, remember to let him bring the guards."

Haizhu went to the pork shop to buy two large lumps of hind leg meat, came back and diced and mixed with green onion and ginger water mixed with soybean flour, and she poured oil and fried the fungus, worried that someone would not be able to accept the taste of peppercorns, so she fried two flavors.

The dining table next door was set, and Bei Niang came over with Xingzhu to lie on Grandma Qi's bed and continue to sleep.

There were guards who followed Dongzhu and them to set up a stall, and Qi Laosan didn't need to push the cart, he called someone to carry the bone broth over, boiled water in the pot first, and Haizhu came over to cook the powder directly.

"It's been a long time since I've been in." Daddy Hong Shan was the first to come over, "It's all cooked?" ”

"Okay, the meat whistle is a little spicy, and there are not spicy ones, which flavor do you want? There is also this bone broth, if you don't want to pour flour, you can also scoop a bowl and drink it alone. Qi Laosan introduced in a sloppy manner.

"I have a big appetite, I want a bowl of each, the bone broth is poured on the powder, I eat the soup with the powder, how much is a bowl?" Daddy Hong asked.

"Twenty cents a bowl." Qi Laosan came out with fried soybeans and said, "Add this yourself, eat as much as you want." ”

Haizhu was already cooking noodles, she listened to the sound of talking outside, and suddenly noticed that her third uncle had changed, I don't know if it was because the waist bag was bulging and the waist board was straight, last year when I greeted diners, I was still a little wooden, and I couldn't speak, but this year I was much more generous, and I didn't have stage fright when dealing with outsiders.

"Two bowls of noodles." She shouted.

Two spoonfuls of bone broth with no oil are poured over the cooked rice noodles, the soup is bright in color but strong in flavor. A spoonful of meat whistle is poured on the rice noodles and then sprinkled with scallion oil, the meat grains are mixed with fungus, and the red oil slowly flows into the bone broth and is delivered to the diners.

More and more diners came, some people ate here, some people took it back to eat, and then boiled two eggs and soaked them in soup, and ate until they finally bit down and had a mouthful of juice.
