Chapter 121 The front tooth is missing and the smile is a little leaky
This is also the reason why Xiao Yuenong clearly saw the situation at home and Tang Zangyue did not hide it or reveal it to Xiao Yuenong.
Xiao Yuenong can keep his mouth shut, but at the same time, Xiao Yuenong has been raised in a boudoir. Many of his ideas are just words on paper. He has never been exposed to cruelty and does not know the dangers of society.
Mei Niang didn't think anything of Xiao Yuenong's precautions, and her attitude was generous.
He usually gets along well with the Xiao family, but he also knows that he and Liu Lang are equivalent to the long-term workers of the Xiao family. Since they are the long-term workers and the master's family, naturally they cannot pry into the secrets of the master's family. Crossing the line is equivalent to saying goodbye to the good life.
She's not that stupid.
Back at Xiao's house, Wang Xiaoliu reported the incident about Mei Hua in the main room. With Xiao Yuenong's addition, Tang Zangyue narrowed her eyes and said, "You are saying that Dr. Xue was almost blackmailed?"
When Xiao Yuenong saw his grandmother like this, he knew that her grandmother was going to do something bad.
She said with great interest: "Grandma, do you want to teach Mrs. Chen a few lessons?"
"You must be taught a lesson." Tang Zangyue nodded, "Dare to use our Xiao family's carriage."
Xiao Yuenong:...Aren't you trying to find a place for Dr. Xue?
"Xiao Liu, please go to Mrs. Chen's house early tomorrow morning with your family's long-term workers to settle the payment for the carriage ride."
Wang Xiaoliu: "Here, how much does this cost?"
Tang Zangyue hasn't thought about it yet, but a trip with an ox cart costs one or two copper coins, so twenty copper coins for her carriage is not too much, right?
"Twenty copper coins." Tang Zangyue made the final decision.
Xiao Yuenong's eyes twitched, "Grandma, isn't it too much work?"
"No, we want to deny other people the opportunity to ride on our Xiao family's carriage." Tang Zangyue paused, and then said: "By the way, who is the background of the old woman who helped today?"
Xiao Yuenong: "My surname is Cui. Her second-in-law granddaughter and Sister Ling get along well."
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Don't you have a lot of dry goods at home that I brought back? Grab a pound and give it to others."
Wang Xiaoliu got the order and went to the kitchen to grab half a catty of dried mushrooms, half a catty of kelp, and shrimp skin. He happened to come to the front yard and saw that Uncle Zhao had unloaded the carriage. He was a little embarrassed: "I have to go to the village now..."
Uncle Zhao held the reins and said with a smile: "You don't know how to ride a horse?"
Wang Xiaoliu scratched his head and said, "Uncle, please stop laughing at me."
"Get on your horse and I'll take you there, saving you a lot of walking back and forth."
Wang Xiaoliu asked curiously: "Uncle, are you really good at riding a horse?"
"Otherwise, why don't you go to the village?" Uncle Zhao asked.
Seeing Uncle Zhao get on the horse, Wang Xiaoliu also got on the horse neatly.
Uncle Zhao was riding slowly. He pulled the reins and said, "This is the same as driving a carriage. How come you are not afraid of riding a carriage, but now you are afraid of riding a horse?"
"Can that be the same?"
"Why is it different? You just need to be more generous, ride on the horse, hold the reins, and straighten your back." Uncle Zhao's voice was faint, "Xiao Liu, don't let me look down on you."
"..." I always feel that Uncle Zhao has been working with the Xiao family for a long time and has learned a lot from the old lady.
Arriving at the gate of Cui's courtyard, Uncle Zhao handed over the reins and started to leave with his hands behind his back.
Wang Xiaoliu: "Hey, hey, Uncle Zhao, where are you going?"
"Isn't that right? Are the Xiao family's affairs almost done? I still have to go home and have something hot to eat."
Wang Xiaoliu screamed desperately, but failed to stop him┭┮﹏┭┮
He had no choice but to lead his horse and continue to knock on the door.
It was Granny Cui who opened the door.
Wang Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Aunt Cui, the old lady took note of your kindness in helping me today, so I brought you some goodies from home as a thank you."
Mrs. Cui immediately smiled like a flower and said, "Come in and sit down."
"No, no, the Xiao family is still busy and I have no time to spare, so let's forget it today."
"Okay, okay, I'll see you off."
Seeing the other party looking at the contents of the sack while returning it, Wang Xiaoliu explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, Aunt Cui, they are all good things. Half a pound is dried kelp and shrimp skin, which is suitable for making soup, but the dried kelp must be soaked in advance.
; The other half kilogram is dried mushrooms. There are all kinds of mushrooms. You can soak them for a few hours in advance for stews, stews, soups, etc., and then add them in. Even after soaking, the water can also be added to the cereals you usually eat.
It has a taste."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie took note of it."
Mrs. Cui thought about it and grabbed a handful of kelp that day and soaked it. There was a lot of kelp and she threw it into the soup. The water for soaking the kelp looked clean and was not wasted. It can also be used to make noodles.
.
The soup is bone soup.
Recently, a pen of pigs appeared in the town. Aunt Cui bought a few kilograms of meat and marinated it so that she could hang it on a beam and eat it for a whole year. She looked at the big bones that no one wanted and thought she could stew them into soup. Let's listen to Doctor Tang.
It was said to have high nutritional value, so I reluctantly bought two sticks.
Blanch the big bones in water, grease the bottom of the pot with oil, stir-fry the basil, stir-fry the basil, heat the water twice and simmer. Because a lot of water is added, the soup becomes light milky white. I also add the kelp and boil it, and finally fish it out.
, put the shrimps in the basin.
It smells very fresh.
After it was served on the table, it received unanimous praise from men, women and children. The shrimps at the bottom of the basin were also left to Mrs. Cui to fish for her grandson.
"Milk, what is this? You chew it really hard."
"Milk, today's soup is delicious, can you still have it tomorrow?"
Mrs. Cui: "It's a nice thought. It's all made from big bones. If you hit the scale, the meat on the bones will be picked clean. We can't chew the bones, we can only suck the marrow to eat. But you like it?
Kelp and dried shrimps, the Xiao family will have enough milk in a few days to exchange for some food and come back to make toothpicks."
"Mom, don't spoil them. Which family would exchange grain for this thing? It's not full, just enough to satisfy their cravings. After one or two meals, they should be tired and hungry."
This is true.
However, kelp and dried shrimps do taste good, and after a few days, Mrs. Cui turned her attention to dried mushrooms.
It's not that they have never seen this kind of dry goods. They are sold in grain stores in the city, but the transportation cost is high and the price is high. Ordinary people cannot afford it.
Mrs. Cui soaked the mushrooms overnight, and after they were completely boiled, the water used to soak the mushrooms was added directly to the cooking pot the next day, instead of ordinary snow water.
After that, just cut the soaked mushrooms into slices and fry them with other vegetables.
Farmers usually have a dull mouth and buy salt by the pound. The only good thing is that this place is close to the sea. Compared with the south, they don't need a lot of manpower and material resources to mine salt mines, and all they eat is sea salt.
In this regard, except for marinating meat and pickles, salt is also used sparingly at other times.
The taste was different from usual when eating it, and my grandson, who was more clever, tasted it right away.
"Milk! What is added to this paste? Why does it taste so different!"
Mrs. Cui pretended to be mysterious and said: "It's delicious."
"tasty!"
"If it tastes good, eat more of it! Wait until the winter solstice, and there will be even more delicious food waiting for you."
"Nai, will our family make dumplings during the Winter Solstice?"
"It's guaranteed. It must be included."
…
Such a warm scene has nothing to do with a housewife and her family living together.
After finishing scraping the paste at the bottom of the bowl, Jiahua quickly carried her sister back to her room. Then she drew a stroke on the wall with a small piece of black charcoal, then she counted with her fingers and gradually showed a smile.
I lost a front tooth and my smile was a bit leaky.
Cui Hu, the father of Jia Hua, bumped into such a girl as soon as he walked in the door.
