Chapter 11 Good things are of course laborious
(It’s a new month, please bookmark and recommend it!\(^o^))
Aunt Yu finished taking care of the dinner, arranged for the night watcher to make supper, and then went home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his daughter-in-law, who was five or six months pregnant, serving hot tea with a smile, "Mom, are you exhausted? Sit down and have a rest. The food is ready. You can eat it when dad comes back."
"
Aunt Yu drank a cup of hot tea and felt very relieved. Although she knew that her daughter-in-law was so attentive because she could support her financially and treat her parents generously, but in the cold world, who wouldn't be like this?
"Is everything okay at home today? Are you okay too?"
"Everything is fine. Since last time you brought back a bottle of prunes that my wife ate, I have taken one pill every morning and evening, and I don't feel sick anymore. By the way, at noon today, Zhang Wang's wife sent the girl to return this month's meal.
The interest money for you has been sent." The wife of the Yu family said in a low voice, took out the money and handed it to her mother-in-law, then covered her mouth and said with a smile, "A Sheng was also at home at that time, and he was still wondering, so I said
He borrowed money from our family earlier and is here to pay it back. Otherwise, if he knew about it, he might not be able to spend so much money."
Aunt Yu smiled, counted the money and put it away, "You did a good job. We have saved this money, and sooner or later it will be handed over to you. Sheng'er spends a lot of money, and you can take care of it, so we can rest assured."
The Yu family's daughter-in-law smiled even sweeter, but she saw Aunt Yu rubbing her temples, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over her hand, "Why does Mom have a headache again? But that Sister-in-law Zou stabbed Lou Zi again?"
"why do you say so?"
"Hey, hasn't my mother worried about her too much in the past few years? Although my father and Uncle Zou have a good relationship, Aunt Zou herself is too unsatisfactory. She comes here and there just to find trouble for someone.
How many times? I muttered it to the point where I didn’t want to hear it anymore. What shouldn’t be said? She accepted gifts from others, so why didn’t she go out and do things for them on her own? She begged to come to us, as if we should do it for her.
Yes, I don’t like hearing that tone.”
Aunt Yu was troubled for a moment, remembering that Sister-in-law Zou had framed Madam Hui, which made her kneel in front of the third wife for a long time, and she was a little unhappy. However, thinking about the good relationship between the two families, she could only sigh, "She can't do anything else."
, but with me, we are still of the same mind."
The daughter-in-law of the Yu family curled her lips in disapproval, "If mother is willing to make friends with others, how can anyone not fawn over her? Like the third wife of Wang, she came to ask for help, but how many gifts did she give her all the time?
She didn’t press her like she was asking for a debt.”
Aunt Yu closed her eyes and said nothing, and the daughter-in-law did not dare to say anything more.
But she didn't know that Aunt Yu had already secretly regretted bringing Aunt Zou into the kitchen. She originally wanted to give herself some arms, but unexpectedly she became a burden. Not to mention her mediocre skills, her brain was still limited, and she was lazy and greedy.
From time to time, he used his own power to dominate in the kitchen, and he offended many people. If he hadn't relied on his wife to stay with him, and still had some dignity, he would have been strangled to death so many times.
Just like today, when Sister Mu couldn't refine oil, Mrs. Chen just said a few words of help, and her weird words came out. It was not like they were asking her, but themselves, and she was the first to do it.
What's going on with her in the first place? Is it possible that she has to agree first when someone wants to say something to her? I really don't know what to say!
Not to mention Aunt Yu's worries, the Shi family over there were all in high spirits and were cracking melon seeds together.
It's just that what they knead is not cooked, but raw.
When opening the bag sent by Young Master Ouyang, Nianfu wanted to slap himself.
She must have got soybean oil in her head, so she forgot that there was sunflower oil in the world.
Is this a good thing that is bland and tasteless? If soybean oil may be a bit troublesome to refine, sunflower oil should be easier, right?
When Nianfu returned home early with a bag of melon seeds, he didn't even need to go to the sesame oil shop and got a positive answer directly from his grandfather.
"I think back then, when I was the same age as Nianfu, I worked in a sesame oil shop. Although most of the time we used sesame seeds to squeeze oil, some villagers would bring them to us when they harvested a lot of sunflower seeds and asked us to squeeze them together.
, but the squeezed one doesn’t have much flavor, and most of the time it has to be mixed with sesame seeds.”
Seeing Father Shi's self-professed face, Aunt Shi couldn't help but angrily said, "You're breathless when I say you're fat! It's been so many years ago, are you still doing it? Don't waste a good thing."
"Why do you look down on people? How can you forget about the art of beating children?"
The cold got better, and Hui Niang got up to help. She joked, "Don't say Mom doesn't believe it, I don't believe it either. Dad, if you have this skill, how come you are grinding tofu?"
"Don't you understand this?" Father Shi, who had been depressed for so long and finally found something to use, proudly began to popularize science.
"The most important thing in making sesame oil is two things, one is grinding and the other is water. Have you ever seen that sesame oil mills are often built near the best streams? One is to use water wheels to grind the sesame seeds into fine powder.
, so that it can be made into soy sauce. The second is to use the principle that oil floats in water, and use good water to slowly wash out the oil. Only in this way will the oil be fragrant and affordable. But think about it,
How much does this mill cost? Who can afford it? The owner of our former mill said he wanted to marry his only daughter, and the man who said he wanted to marry her immediately walked over the threshold, all because of the sake of the mill!"
Aunt Shi was just about to tease her husband about whether he had also been tempted, but she heard her granddaughter exclaim with an eye-opening look, "I thought oil was refined by fire, but I didn't expect that it was milled by water."
Aunt Shi unconsciously forgot what she was going to say, and then she said with a smile, "What comes out of the fire is lard. You have only done this at home, how would you know about the other things? But old man, since you said that, our family is not doing well."
How can we make good oil if we grind it and don't have good water?"
Dad Shi said nonchalantly, "It's okay! She doesn't want much! Even though there are a lot of melon seeds in this bag, the kernels that can be extracted are limited. If you press the oil again, there will be even less. Our stone mill
It’s enough.”
Nianfu asked casually, "Grandpa, if you are a little more tired, can we try grinding soybean oil?"
Father Shi chuckled, "If you want to ask something else, that's fine, but your grandpa has been making tofu all his life, but I have never heard of this soybean oil. Although when making tofu, the surface can also be stirred up.
A layer of soybean oil skin, but that’s not something that can be used as an oil wielder, right?”
Nian Fu was very persistent, "If you really can do it, grandpa, please think about it again!"
Madam Hui couldn't help but scold her daughter, "Tell me, these sunflower seeds are oily, so it's somewhat believable that they can be used to squeeze oil. But the soybeans won't get any oil no matter how you soak them, so how can you squeeze them out?"
Oil? If it can really produce oil when fried, I think soybeans can also be eaten as pork."
"Mom, how can you hit people like this? Forget it, I won't tell you. You won't know until I practice it in the future!"
Seeing the little girl banging melon seeds angrily, the whole family laughed.
But after laughing, Aunt Shi thought of something again, "Nianfu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, can you ask for a few days off at Ouyang's house? People say that the incense burned on the first day of the new year is the most effective. You
I still have to go and say goodbye.”
Nianfu nodded, "Okay, I'll go and ask tomorrow. Anyway, Mr. Wu is busy during the New Year, so he definitely won't come to teach. If something happens, just call me. Even if you have to deduct a few days of salary, we can't
admit."
"That's right." As Father Shi nodded, he suddenly remembered something.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Aunt Shi said angrily, "This old man, when the whole family is together, what else can't he say?"
Huiniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you missing your grandson?"
"What do I want them to do?" Father Shi hurriedly asked himself, "I was thinking, if these sunflower seeds can really produce oil, should I tell the Ouyang family about this recipe? After all, it was the eldest young master who came up with the idea.
, it’s the melon seeds he gave me again.”
After thinking about it, "There is no need for Fangzi. It's not that I'm hiding something, it's really unnecessary. Think about it, even the people who studied with me decades ago know that if their family really wants to do something, they can just find someone."
You can ask the sesame oil shop, why are you going back? Besides, the relationship between the eldest young master and the third wife is not good. These melon seeds were sent by his eldest young master. It would be inappropriate for me to go back to the eldest young master. It would be even worse if I go back to the third wife.
That’s not right. After all, what they want is sauce, not oil, so we can just make the sauce and deliver it, and that’s it.”
A house-fighting woman is not easy to mess with, and as a working girl under her, you have to be even more careful.
A few people couldn't help but nodded. At this time, Mr. Shi also acted cautiously, "It's done. You don't have to rush to send the things to say blessings. Hehe, grandpa taught you that if you want good things, of course it takes effort.
.You just gave it away at once, and people thought it was easy. In my opinion, it’s best to give it to his home on New Year’s Eve, then it will look more valuable.”
Seeing his grandpa's self-confidence as a small profiteer, Nianfu suddenly felt that no matter where she was reincarnated, the real Nianfu would live a safe and smooth life with such genetic inheritance, right? No, that must be it.
necessary!
So, next time when she went to Ouyang's house to work as a fire girl, Nianfu continued to act like a poor girl, while looking sad and sighing.
Everyone thought that she couldn't make the kind of oil that Mr. Wu wanted, and they were worried about being kicked out, so they sympathized with her. Her favorability score, which had been wiped down before, suddenly went up again.
Of course, there are also those who are happy to watch the joke, such as Mrs. Zou, but fighting with Nian Fu, a little white flower, is too damaging to her memory right now, so she has no choice but to endure the itchiness of her tongue and crack melon seeds to relieve her boredom.
But Young Master Ouyang was really anxious. Seeing that there was no movement of the sunflower seeds, he sent big bags of peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts and other oily dried fruits to Nianfu, which made Nianfu feel a little bit sorry. But before things happened, she
I couldn't say anything to him, so I had to let the young master jump around in a hurry.
Dear, the time has not come yet, if you want to ship it, you have to wait patiently!
As for taking the things given by others, such as walnut cakes, peanut candies, almond cakes, and pine nut cakes made at home, hahaha, I'm sorry, just treat it as the New Year benefits given by little boss Ouyang to care for temporary workers.
