Chapter 7: Uncle Comes to the Door (I)
Wen Xi saw that large piece of pork belly, and he couldn't close his mouth all the way.
When they entered the village, it was already afternoon, and when the chattering people gathered at the head of the village saw the father and daughter holding meat and carrying rice on their backs, they couldn't help asking: "Wen family, how did you get rich!" It's rice, flour, and meat. ”
Wen Kang just wanted to say that his daughter made money selling herbs, but he remembered what Xi'er said on the road.
"Daddy, now our village doesn't know that there are herbs on the back mountain, if we want to make money, we must not let outsiders know, grandparents are old, Tao'er will have to go to school in the future, we have to save money."
For the first time, Wen Kang felt that his daughter had really grown up, and he thought more long-term than him, who was a father.
"Hehe, my father and mother have just recovered from a serious illness, so give them a make-up for their bodies." Wen Kang snorted and led Wen Xi to walk home quickly.
When the two returned home, Lin Hui saw that he had bought so many things, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "Master, this and this······ What money do you get for so many things? ”
The old couple couldn't help but ask him when they looked at such a big piece of meat.
Wen Kang told his family about Wenxi selling herbs to make money, and everyone was overjoyed, but they didn't expect his daughter to have this ability.
"Xi'er, let's go with you to pick herbs."
"Mother, I'll just go by myself, there are still so many things to be busy at home, and you don't know any herbs or anything, it's a waste of effort to pick the wrong one, if our family goes to the back mountain, there will definitely be people in the village who doubt, if everyone knows that there are herbs in the back mountain, we won't be able to make money."
Wenxi is also ready to enter and exit the space freely in the back mountain, and it is really inconvenient for so many people to go together.
The same is true when the people heard this.
So he left the matter of picking herbs to Wenxi.
The news that Wen Kang had bought a large piece of meat in the town soon spread in the village.
Lin Qiang sat on the straw mat of his house and listened to his daughter-in-law Liu's babbling.
"The people in the village said that the Wen family bought a large piece of pork belly and several catties of rice and noodles, and you said a few days ago that you found a big deal, and you can earn a few taels of silver, what about the sale? What about the silver? My mother has been with you for so many years, and she hasn't eaten a few bites of meat! The more Liu scolded, the louder he became.
Lin Qiang glared at the Liu family hatefully, and she shut up.
"What do you know as a woman?"
With that, he patted his clothes and walked outside.
Lin Hui was busy working in the stove, and after cleaning up the pig's large intestine, according to what her daughter said, she made a sharp pepper fat sausage with chili peppers from the yard.
At first, she was reluctant to pick the peppers in the yard, their village is located on the border, the land is poor, and it is difficult to grow vegetables, but this year there are less than 10 peppers, and this kind of pepper is very expensive to sell in the town.
The thought of using such a precious chili pepper to fry this stinky thing made her feel distressed.
But I couldn't resist the girl's soft grinding and hard soaking, cut a chili, and then add condiments according to what Wenxi said, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, not only not smelly, but also a special fragrance.
She cut another piece of pork belly and made a braised pork dish.
I have to say that Lin Hui's craftsmanship is really good, Wen Tao has been guarding the stove, looking at the dishes in the pot and drooling.
All the dishes came out of the pot, and Lin Hui hurriedly sent a bowl to Aunt Li next door, and by the way, she returned the rice she borrowed before.
"Oh, Wen's daughter-in-law, this is too precious, so much meat, ······ you"
"Auntie, thank you before."
"You're welcome, if you have any difficulties in the future, tell your aunt." Aunt Li held a bowl of meat and went back to the house happily.
After the dishes were arranged, the family sat around the table, looking at the meals that were richer than the New Year, and swallowed their saliva.
It wasn't until the old man trembled and grabbed a piece of meat that everyone began to move their chopsticks.
It's so fragrant, it's really fragrant.
"Xi'er, where did you learn the practice of this pig's large intestine?" Wen Kang couldn't stop holding a chopsticks and pig's large intestine, but he didn't expect that the things that no one picked up when he threw away the garbage on weekdays were so delicious.
"When I went to town before, I passed by a stall and happened to hear what the boss over there said." Wenxi took a bite of the cake and said vaguely.
The Wen family was not entangled in this issue, and they were all attracted by the food on the table.
Wenxi hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and he is already hungry, coupled with his mother's craftsmanship, it is really unstoppable.
The old man looked at his granddaughter and said, "Xi'er, for a period of time in the future, the matter of collecting medicine will depend on you, you eat more." ”
Wen Xi smiled and nodded, the old man really loved her.
Liu sandwiched a piece of braised pork for her and Wen Tao.
In Wenxi's view, this is not like the ancient feudal society, where men are superior to women, but like a happy family in modern society.
How fortunate she is to be able to feel the beauty of her family in another world.
A few bites of the tortilla to hide the red eyes.
Full of wine and food, Wen Tao lay on the mat and patted his round little belly, and said to Wen Xi: "Sister, the meat is delicious, and Tao'er wants to eat it every day in the future." ”
Wenxi touched her head: "My sister will let you eat meat every day." ”
At this time, Lin Hui's voice came from outside the door: "Brother, why are you here?" ”
It's Lin Qiang.
Wenxi knew that Lin Qiang would definitely know about their purchase of meat, and according to his previous memories, this person would definitely beg for it.
She couldn't control it before, but now, he stopped trying to take anything from their house.
"Hmph, your family is developed, I heard that you bought so much meat, why don't you come to honor your brother?" Lin Qiang leaned against the door frame and kept looking into the room.
"Brother, that meat was bought by Wen Kang, you don't know, how can I have the money to buy it?"
"What happened to Wen Kang's purchase? I'm also his eldest brother, besides, Zhang Yuanwai's affairs, you have made my face, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet! Hurry up and bring me the meat! After speaking, he pushed Lin Hui away and went home.
Wen Xi knew that Wen Kang and his grandfather and grandmother had not come back from the village, so he took Wen Tao to the yard and whispered a few words in Wen Tao's ear, and heard Wen Tao start to cry in the yard.
The cry called out all the neighbors next door.
Seeing more and more people, Wen Xi wiped his tears and said, "Uncle, my family is really out of meat, can you not always come to my house to fight the autumn breeze?" My family is so poor, how can I give you any more money? Two days ago, you had to sell my brother for money, and I have only one brother in my family, how can you do this? ”
When Wen Tao heard that he was going to sell him, he cried even louder.
After hearing this, the neighbor Aunt Li was the first to stand up: "I said the Lin family, you came here and asked for this and that two times in three days, your face is thick enough, why do you still sell other people's sons?" Do you still want to be shameless? ”
"Like, don't you have a son yourself? Why don't you sell your own? ”
"If you don't have any skills, you know that you can come to my sister's sister's husband's house to fight the autumn breeze, phew, something."
······
The onlookers pointed at him and cursed.
