Wang Xiaoliu advised: "If you keep hard-boiled eggs overnight, they will go bad easily. Eat them now."
Mei Niang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But, this amount is too much, I can't finish it all at once..."
Wang Xiaoliu also thought of Mei Niang's little bird's stomach. If the family had plenty of food, Mei Niang wouldn't be able to eat too much.
Even a steamed bun can be chewed slowly for a long time by her.
Because of this, being laughed at privately by other house sisters-in-law was a despicable fate for a young lady as a maid.
Wang Xiaoliu struggled for a long time, but she was caught off guard with a smile and stuffed an egg into his mouth, "Liu Lang, you eat too."
"I don't want to eat. I came back when I was full."
"If you don't eat, I won't eat either."
"Mei Niang..." Wang Xiaoliu retreated and advised, "Drink the medicine first. If it gets cold, half of its efficacy will be lost."
After the two of them finished eating, Wang Xiaoliu lay down on the kang together and half held Mei Niang in his arms.
Wang Xiaoliu and Mei Niang covered themselves with quilts and talked quietly.
no way.
Later generations had electronic products to play with, but in ancient times, the poor had no entertainment projects. Even aristocratic families had a series of entertainments such as pot throwing and hunting.
Especially during the busy farming season, the villagers in Jiuli Village have been busy in the fields all day. After getting home, they fall into bed and sleep without any extra energy. In their free time, they do a lot of bed exercises to relieve themselves, but Mei Niang
I am still in confinement, so exercise is naturally out of the question. I can only chat a few words to spend the rest of my energy before going to bed.
The main reason is that Wang Xiaoliu is in a high mood and can't stop being excited: "The old lady is a good person, and the Xiao family is easy to get along with. These past few days have been the most full I have ever eaten in my life."
"If Liu Lang is happy with his work, Mei Niang will feel at ease. Mei Niang is afraid that you will be wronged and your relationship with your parents is cut off. If Liu Lang continues to suffer in the Xiao family, Mei Niang will feel guilty every day."
Torture..."
Wang Xiaoliu hurriedly held her hand and comforted her: "It's over. Actually, I still have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
Mei Niang's eyes widened and she said: "What are you talking about, Liu Lang? You and I are husband and wife. We don't distinguish between each other. How can we treat each other inappropriately?"
"What Mei Niang said is true. In fact, this idea came about after seeing the Xiao family. I saw that the Xiao family had just arrived and they were busy repairing the yard, doing business in the town, and doing some chores, such as sewing.
Clothes and such... there are really not enough manpower. Aunt Liu is busy with the town's business and clothes sewing, and her sewing skills are really not as good as Mei Niang's.
I was thinking, since I can make a living by helping the Xiao family build their backyard, how about you also help sew clothes to reduce the burden on Aunt Liu? She can sew clothes on the left and right without getting off the kang, and it won't delay your sitting.
Confinement, maybe the Xiao family is kind and will give you some supplements...
Naturally, if you don't have a bite of food, I will save it between my teeth and bring it back to you.
When you help the Xiao family, you should pay back the medicine money, what do you think?"
Mei Niang was both shocked and happy, and her tear ducts immediately burst into tears. Wang Xiaoliu was so panicked that she mistakenly thought she had said the wrong thing, and was busy coaxing: "What's wrong? Hey, if you don't want to, I won't mention it next time."
Fortunately, I haven't said anything to the Xiao family yet. You can rest assured. Since I don't want to be too tired, I just lie down on the kang with peace of mind. When the month is over, we will discuss it in the long term."
Mei Niang quickly took hold of this naive and rough hand and said: "No, Liu Lang, I am happy. I am happy that you can observe the surroundings more and think more about this family. Just sew some clothes, what can I do? The Xiao family can help
We have a lot of husband and wife, so this small favor is no problem."
Wang Xiaoliu kissed Mei Niang's forehead and bit her ear for a while before falling asleep.
The next day, Wang Xiaoliu came to visit again and saw that the Xiao family was busy and busy. Even Xiao Zhonglu and his two brothers were helping.
He asked curiously: "What is this?"
Xiao Zhonglu explained with a smile: "A large family in the town is interested in the kimchi water made by Aunt Liu and plans to buy a large amount. Grandma didn't go to town yesterday. Xiaowu didn't dare to talk in depth. I just went to negotiate today. Grandma
Let us prepare it first and not set up a stall today."
Wang Xiaoliu looked around, but didn't see Tang Zang Yueren, and said, "So, the old lady is here now?"
"We're going to town. Let's eat first without waiting for her at noon. Grandma will probably come back in the afternoon. By the way, before she left, grandma asked us how to prepare the medicine. Your wife's share of the medicine is kept in the kitchen. Don't worry."
Wang Xiaoliu said sheepishly: "I'm not worried about this... I originally wanted to talk about other things, but I didn't expect the old lady to go to town to discuss business."
"What's the matter with you? Tell us first."
Looking at several pairs of eyes, the older one was fine, but Xiao Ling'er's little carrot heads were not covered, and their eyes were dull, which made Wang Xiaoliu embarrassed.
After holding it in for a long time, his dark face flushed, he uttered the complete words: "I don't think Mrs. Liu is busy with the business in the town, the food in the kitchen, and the sewing of clothes? To tell you the truth, last night I
I mentioned it to my wife, and she said that she could take the initiative to share Mrs. Liu's worries. Although she was in confinement, it would not hinder her work, as long as everyone didn't dislike it...
Ah, yes, my wife is pretty good at needlework. Her own mother used to be an embroiderer, but she left early and didn’t really pass on the legacy..."
Xiao Zhongli: "I don't mind it, but this matter can't be decided until my grandmother comes back."
"No problem, no problem."
town.
Tang Zangyue came to the back door of Luo Mansion, asked the doorman to pass the message, and finally met Manager Luo.
Manager Luo greeted him with a smile: "Mrs. Tang, you are here. The kimchi, radish and cucumbers I bought from you last time are all loved by the young master and ladies in our house, including the master, wife and aunt. The kimchi water is added to the stew.
It really improves the flavor of the stir-fried vegetables, so I want to buy more kimchi, especially more kimchi water.
And the miso you mentioned last time..."
Tang Zangyue smiled and said, "Isn't it a coincidence? Today I happened to bring the soybean paste that the boss wanted. You can try it first. They are all homemade and clean."
Manager Luo secretly called the old fox and looked at her with a smile on his face as he took out a bamboo tube from the basket on his back and handed it over.
He smelled it, put his index finger in it, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Tang Zangyue: "This is what I eat at home. I don't make much and don't have much left. Luo Zhang will try it before deciding whether to buy it or not. If you want to buy it, let's sign an agreement and order how much. I can go back and discuss it with my family.
Make enough and I’ll send it to you in a month.”
This kind of business is very common, but most of them are agreements signed in cooperation with restaurants. He eats in the mansion, and it will be over after the cold winter. How much miso is needed? And the agreement is signed...
Manager Luo's smile faded a bit: "It's not necessary, after all, we don't need much soybean paste. The mansion also pickles some soybean paste itself..."
He tasted the aroma from the soybean paste, and it wasn't as amazing as he imagined, so he didn't plan to buy much.
"That's it." Tang Zangyue smiled to herself and changed the subject: "As for kimchi and radish, as long as Manager Luo buys a lot, we can easily negotiate the price. However, the kimchi water must be paid according to the quantity. After all, whether it is Jiuli Village or the town
Yes, you will have to pay for any excess water.
You can’t ask Boss Luo to give you fifty kilograms of kimchi water if you want one kilogram of kimchi, right? It takes ten kilograms of water to pickle one kilogram of kimchi, and if you ask me to give you fifty kilograms of kimchi water, wouldn’t it mean that you are misappropriating the water from other kimchi jars?
Water? Here, the kimchi water has been sent out, but the kimchi radish for sale is left. The radish without kimchi water should not be put away, Director Luo."
