Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 26 No.20 Chapter [-]: Keep Your Eyes Open
During the whole afternoon, Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua were picking up mottled bamboo shells in the bamboo forest. They didn't leave the mountain until Song Qiu's basket was so tightly packed that they couldn't squeeze any more.

Back at the front of the mountain, Song Qiu hurriedly helped Zhang Lihua pick up half a basket of mushrooms, and the sun was setting, so the two went down the mountain together to go home.

Old Yuan Shi also just came back from the neighboring village not long ago, seeing Song Qiu come back with a basket of bamboo shells on his back, he couldn't help being surprised.

Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua winked, watched her enter their yard, and then went into the house with a basket on their backs.

"Aqiu, what is the use of picking up so many bamboo shells?" Old Yuan Shi followed into the room and asked.

Song Qiu put down the pannier, freed up the squeezed bamboo shells inside and laid them on the floor with a wooden board in the corner, while explaining to old Yuan Shi: "I have a lot of uses for these spotted bamboo shells, I'm going to bring them Make a kind of food that is easy to sell during the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Old Yuan Shi listened, wondering what kind of food this bamboo shell could be used for, but thinking that A Qiu was cooking for the past few days, the taste of that dish is undeniable, her family A Qiu has a talent for cooking, I can't say that I can really make something to eat.

They're just bamboo shells, and they don't cost any money. Once the child picks them up, he can put them away.

Thinking in this way, old Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and turned to talk about the flowing water mat of Cheng's family today.

"Eight big dishes! There are chicken, fish, duck, and meat. A big bowl of braised pork is delicious! It is said to be made by the chef of the best restaurant in the town. The taste is nothing to say, Ming Er Nai, you will know when you go to eat, it is a table full of people scrambling to eat, one round is not full, Li Hua and I sat for one more round! Luckily, we can sit casually, otherwise it would be burnt out, Nai Nai You know, some people even sat for more than three rounds!"

After putting away the bamboo shells, Song Qiu shook his arms, went to the table and poured cold boiled water to drink, saying.

Old Yuan Shi listened and nodded, "That's right, the Cheng family has such a big family background, it's only natural to hire a chef from the town. Our ten miles and eight villages are only as big as their family. I heard that the troupe also sings. Is it fun?"

"The family where I gave birth left a sister-in-law. Her husband-in-law, mother-in-law and other members of the family also went. It was said to be very lively."

The opera troupe sang lively and naturally, and Song Qiu could tell whether the singing was lively or not if he didn't like to listen to opera.

She nodded, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but click her tongue, "This wife is giving birth to a child, so the husband-in-law is still in the mood to go to a banquet to watch the fun?"

Speaking of this, old Yuan's expression faded, and his tone was a bit contemptuous but he was used to it, "That family doesn't value their daughter-in-law, and the man listens to his mother, and the woman was in pain for a long time. It was a girl who was born in the next afternoon, and the mother-in-law turned her face down when she saw her when she came back, and the man was not too happy."

This kind of thing, the old Yuan has been delivering half his life, and he has seen it a lot.

When a woman gives birth, it is a matter of stepping into the gate of hell with one foot. If mothers-in-law and husbands can take care of them, then they are naturally blessed, and there are also those who are not blessed.

I have seen such things a lot, and I really don't know what to say. She is a midwife, and she can't talk about other people's affairs.

All he could do was to do his best so that the woman who gave birth could give birth to the child safely.

"So, this woman has to keep her eyes open when she gets married. If she marries the wrong person, she will never be able to get out of her life." Old Yuan Shi sighed, thinking that her granddaughter is also thirteen. She does not shy away from such things. To put it bluntly, I just hope that my granddaughter has something to ponder in her heart.

Song Qiu listened, thinking about the era when everyone was advocating equality in the later generations, and such things happened from time to time, such as the death of pregnant women.

A woman should keep her eyes open when she gets married. She thought so deeply and couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing her granddaughter's serious face, old Yuan couldn't help laughing because she was afraid that she would be afraid of getting married, and said, "Aqiu, don't worry, you have milk, and your eyes are bright! I will help you take care of it." , don’t just marry you off casually!”

Song Qiu: "..." Why is it talking about her again?

Song Qiu was a little speechless, but what she wanted to see, in grandma's heart, wasn't it her marriage that was on her mind?
In the later life, she can be 27 or [-] years old without getting married. Here, if she can survive her [-]s, she will be in a hurry, right?
If she had to say the words about not marrying for the rest of her life, she estimated that her grandma would be dumbfounded, and then chased her for three days and three nights of education.

So forget it, and she has no idea of ​​not marrying and becoming a nun for the rest of her life.

But it's also good to take the opportunity to seek some benefits.

"Then grandma made a deal, you can't just marry me!" Song Qiu blinked.

Old Yuan Shi nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma will definitely ask you to nod first before agreeing."

When Song Qiu got the right words, she felt happy, so she wouldn't be afraid that her grandma would agree to others casually regardless of her ideas. She could know for herself who she wanted to marry and when she would marry.
The family who delivered the baby today was stingy and added another girl, so they only gave two copper coins and a handful of beans to the happy money for the baby, let alone any good food to greet them.

Old Yuan Shi just ate a bowl of vegetable soup and a rough steamed bun at noon, and he is very hungry now.

Song Qiu immediately began to prepare the supper. First, he cooked the long bean porridge, put it in an iron pot at the back, and continued to boil it. The mushrooms he picked up this morning were not sold tomorrow anyway, so he blanched them all. Most of the water is left to dry to make dry goods, and the rest is fried and eaten tonight.

Song Qiu poured half a pot of water into the cauldron, waited for the water to boil, poured the cleaned and torn mushrooms into the pot to blanch, and put a few cloves of garlic into it.

Garlic is anti-virus. If you want to know whether the fungus is poisonous, you can tell by looking at the blanched garlic. If the garlic does not turn green in the end, then the fungus must not be poisonous.

These are the words handed down by the ancestors, absolutely unmistakable.

Taking advantage of the cooking time in the pot, Song Qiu quickly went out and picked a lot of peppers.

Old Yuan looked at it, thinking that since Aqiu was in charge of cooking, the peppers in their vegetable garden have never been ignored!In the past, eggplants were eaten by pounding, but now they are eaten in a different way.

After having tasted the cooking, old Yuan Shi now doesn't care what Song Qiu does, she just doesn't say anything, just eat, it's delicious after all.

The chili was washed and cut into small hobs, the garlic and ginger were sliced, and the mushrooms in the pot were boiled. Song Qiu picked up the mushrooms with a strainer, but the cloves of garlic did not turn green.

Then scoop out the water in the pot, and when the pot is red, dig a spoonful of oil into the pot.

The most important thing about fried mountain mushrooms is that there is a lot of oil. Looking at the spoonful of oil, Lao Yuan felt a little distressed, but it was okay, not as distressed as it was at the beginning.

The oil in the pot was heated up, Song Qiu put the garlic and ginger slices in and stir-fried to taste, then put in the chopped chili and stir-fried until the unique spicy taste of the chili came out, then poured all the mushrooms in, if this When there is bean paste, it will be even more fragrant.

It's a pity not, Song Qiu thought about the peppers outside, it's not the time yet, smiled, knowing it, and continued to dance the spatula.
