Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 177 Unlucky

After going out, seeing no one in Jiang Mixia's family, he was relieved and walked quickly to the street.

After walking around for a long time and wasting a lot of talking, Niu bought the vegetables he was satisfied with.

A carrot, a cabbage, a lump of mustard greens, and a piece of tofu weighing two ounces a catty.

After returning home, Niu began to make lunch.

The cabbage gang is mixed with stick noodles and sweet potato noodles, steamed into steamed buns, carrots and tofu are fried together to make a dish, and the remaining mustard greens are cut into thin shreds and salted, ready to serve at night Eat stick noodle porridge with vegetable steamed buns.

The sum of these few dishes only cost five Wen, plus the stick noodles and sweet potato noodles, the total cost was only four or five Wen.

For ten pennies, the head of the family can comfortably eat two meals, I am afraid that no one can do this.

When it comes to diligence, thrift and virtuousness, I'm afraid no one can compare to her!
Niu raised his chin triumphantly.

When the vegetable corn bread was out of the pot and the fried tofu with carrots came out, there was a sudden movement at the door.

Niu probed and saw Zhang Yaosheng.

"Master is back?" Niu was overjoyed immediately, "Why did Mr. come back for dinner today?"

Niu looked at Zhang Yaosheng expectantly, hoping to hear the words "I miss you, come back and have a look" from him.

Zhang Yaosheng was expressionless, and replied lightly, "The chef in the academy got a cold, and he never went to see a doctor, so that he became sick to others, and fell ill several times at once. People should rest well, there will be no meals in the academy during this period."

"Originally a few classmates wanted to go out for dinner together. I was thinking that going out to eat and drink would cost a lot, and I hadn't seen Da Ya for a while, so I came back to take a look."

Saying that, he waved to Zhang Daya, "Daya, come to daddy quickly, daddy brought maltose back for you."

As soon as Zhang Daya heard that there was maltose, she rushed over, took the oil paper bag from Zhang Yaosheng's hand, and said in a crunchy and sweet way, "Thank you dad."

"Go and eat." Zhang Yaosheng only had such a daughter, and he loved her so much, he reached out and rubbed Zhang Daya's head, "Daya seems to have grown taller."

But it seems to be a little thinner.

Zhang Yaosheng frowned slightly.

Seeing that Zhang Yaosheng didn't mention her at all, and never brought her anything back, Niu was a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just said, "The meal is almost ready, wash your hands and eat."

"Why are you talking like this?" Zhang Yaosheng heard something wrong with Niu's words, and when he noticed that Niu's front teeth were dark, his face became even more displeased, "What's wrong with the teeth?"

"I accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell..." When Niu said this, tears were streaming down his face. "As a result, he fell off two front teeth, and it hurt for several days."

"Why are you so careless?" Zhang Yaosheng frowned.

Wealthy families are all rich and powerful, and the threshold is much higher than that of this kind of house.

Niu could be stumbled over such a threshold, so if he passed the Juren exam and lived in a mansion, wouldn't he have to be stumbled every day?
It seems that this Niu family really has no life to enjoy.

Maybe it's because Niu didn't have this fate, so he was admitted to the scholar for many years, but he still couldn't pass the exam.

Niu saw that Zhang Yaosheng didn't care about her current situation, but blamed her for not being careful, she felt more and more uncomfortable, and didn't dare to shed any more tears. She just wiped the corners of her eyes, brought food into the main room, and greeted Zhang Yaosheng and Zhang Daya for dinner .

At this time, Zhang Daya was already very hungry, and there was rare tofu in today's dish, she happily munched on it, and ate with a dull head.

Niu's stomach was also empty, he couldn't stop stuffing vegetable dumplings into his mouth, and thinking that Zhang Yaosheng wanted to eat more good ones, he put the carrot and tofu slices into his bowl.

Zhang Yaosheng frowned again.

The taste of carrots and tofu slices fried together is really not good, and Niu's cooking skills are not a bit worse than those in the academy.

And such unpalatable fried tofu slices with carrots and vegetable dumplings were eaten so sweet by Zhang Daya, which shows how bad the food is on weekdays.

This Mr. Niu really doesn't know how to housekeeper, and he doesn't even know how to raise and teach his children.

Niu didn't know Zhang Yaosheng's boredom at this time, and was only happy because his husband came back once in a while, "Since the academy can't eat, let's come back to eat recently. I will fry an egg for him to eat in the evening."

an egg...

Zhang Yaosheng's mouth twitched.

The iron pot in the kitchen is not too small, even if you scramble an egg, you might not even see it.

"The butcher's shop sells offal pigs every evening. Although the smell is a bit stronger, it's meaty. I'll buy some in the evening, wash them with plant ash, and cook them in a big pot. They can last for several days." Niu Shidao.

pig into the water...

The corner of Zhang Yaosheng's mouth twitched again.

Those things are indeed meaty, but the smell is really strong. After eating, I am afraid that the smell will stick to my body, and it will last for a long time. If I go to school like this, I am afraid that I will be questioned and laughed at.

What's more, he is a talented man, and he will be a master in the future. How could he be reduced to the point of eating pigs into the water?
Zhang Yaosheng was displeased, and his tone was not too good, "I give you silver taels every month for household use, so you really know how to budget carefully?"

Those silver taels don’t say that they can eat big fish and meat, but the porridge and side dishes are enough, at least they don’t eat vegetable dumplings and think about making pigs into the water.

Niu didn't realize that Zhang Yaosheng's tone was bad, but he thought that he was praising himself for being diligent and thrifty in running the family, and hurriedly said, "Living in the county town costs money everywhere, and I save some money for the money my husband gave me, so I can save money everywhere." Save everything, save the rest of the money, and use it later for your husband to take the exam.”

"Speaking of which, I have always been diligent and thrifty in managing my family. Only when I manage the whole family in a decent manner can I feel at ease. I will definitely not be like that Jiang lady who eats, drinks and enjoys herself all day long. I wish I could worship the whole family, Song I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Lang, it's really pitiful for such a poor lady who doesn't know how to be thrifty."

Song Jingyun is pitiful?
How is he pitiful, the truly pitiful one is Zhang Yaosheng!

The anger in Zhang Yaosheng's heart could no longer be suppressed, and the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table, "Ms. Jiang eats, drinks, and enjoys herself. That's his business. What do you care about her? Besides, all the money in this family is earned by Mrs. Jiang." Yes, Mrs. Jiang has the confidence to eat and drink!"

"As for you, you are all women. Others know how to do some business, do some work, and earn so much money back for the family, so that the Prime Minister can study at ease. You only know that you are idle at home all day long, and you all point at me. People copy and write poems to make money, delaying my studies and examinations?"
