When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 578 Peasant Woman 6
Daya and Anwen both fell into deep thought, and obviously they had taken Tan You's words to heart.

Tan You didn't ask them whether they understood or not, he just carried the pounds of pork fat into the kitchen. People in this era might not be able to eat meat once a month, so Tan You didn't dare to eat a lot of meat right away, for fear of upsetting his stomach.

So she planned to take it slow, like stewing some bone soup first? Fortunately, the Chen family was not so poor that they didn't even have a clay pot, otherwise Tan You would really curse her.

After boiling the bone soup in the pottery pot, Tan You boiled the pork fat in another broken iron pot. To boil the pork fat to make it white, water should be added instead of boiling it dry.

But now the weather is hot, and the lard obviously cannot solidify.

Daya was lighting the fire for Tan You, and she was talking about what they had done today: "Anwen and I went to Zhuzi's house to exchange for brown rice, and Zhuzi's grandmother gave us a small scoop."

Tan You: "We are the ones who got the upper hand. You and An Wen should send two eggs over before it gets dark."

It's not that Tan You is stingy, but eggs are hard currency in this era. One egg can be sold for one penny, and if they give too many, they will look stupid.

Daya nodded: "I understand. Let Anwen take it and I'll light the fire for mother."

An Wen squatted in the kitchen: "Aunt, what can I do?"

Tan You glanced at him and said, "Of course there will be times when you will work. Before you find your biological parents, Daya will take care of the interior, and you and I will take care of the exterior. Learn how to deal with others."

An Wen's heart immediately settled down: "Okay, aunt, I will definitely study hard."

Tan You nodded slightly: "It's getting late. When you bring the eggs back, it's almost time for dinner. Walk slowly on the way. You know what to say outside, right?"

An Wen: "I know. I'll say that my aunt used it as your dowry and exchanged it for some rice for the family."

"Okay, go ahead," Tan You waved his hand, and An Wen ran away with two eggs in his pocket.

Erya was a little unhappy: "Mom, can't I be the head of the family? Just because Anwen is a boy?"

"Of course not," Tan You laughed, "It's because you are too young. When you reach An Wen's age, if you want to go out with me to gain more experience, I certainly won't stop you."

"Mom, you are so nice." Erya was happy, and she stuck to Tan You.

Tan You pushed her little head and said, "It will be bad if the oil splashes on you. Take San Ya to play somewhere else."

Daya held her chin up and said, "Mom, we don't need to buy new clothes. We can make them ourselves."

Tan You glanced at her and said, "I need to make money, so I don't have time to do it."

She can make clothes, but that is based on modern tools such as sewing machines. If you ask Tan You to sew a button, it is absolutely no problem, but if you ask her to make clothes, Tan You really doesn't want to do it.

Daya: “I…”

"You are too young," Tan You mercilessly suppressed her thoughts: "When we make money in the future, we will find someone else to do it. You should know that we have earned a lot of money in the time we have spent making clothes."

Daya pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, how do you want to make money? You bought so much lard, and it's so hot, it will go bad easily."

Tan You: "We'll talk about making money tomorrow. If you're interested, you can follow me and learn."

Erya and Sanya were unwilling to lag behind: "Mother, we want to learn too."

Just then, An Wen, who had just delivered the eggs, came in. Hearing this, he subconsciously said, "Aunt, I want to learn too."

Tan You naturally did not hide her knowledge. She thought it would be good if she could learn it. Once she learned it, she could do odd jobs for her, which saved her the trouble of doing it herself.

"Okay, let's learn together."

Daya saw that Anwen looked unhappy and asked casually, "What's wrong?" Anwen pouted, "When I went to Zhuzi's house, I heard Zhuzi's grandmother's daughter-in-law, Aunt Xinghua, say that Zhuzi's grandmother sold us grain in the morning and gave us more. She said we came here on purpose to take advantage of her."

Tan You stirred the hot oil in the pot: "Are you angry because of this?"

An Wen hung his head and said nothing.

Tan You smiled, "Grandma Zhuzi did give more, and our family did get a bargain. This is a fact and cannot be denied."

An Wen stiffened his neck and said, "But Aunt, you asked me to return the eggs."

Tan You: "Did Aunt Xinghua say anything else after she collected the eggs?"

An Wen shook his head: "No, she asked me to stay for dinner, but I was unhappy and ran back first."

Tan You smiled and said, "You have a bad temper, but I have to tell you, if you want to go out with me in the future, you have to control your temper. Temper should be hidden in the heart, not shown outwardly."

"You still need to be friendly to others. Don't get angry so easily."

An Wen was silent for a long time before he said, "Aunt, I will learn."

Tan You: "Okay, I'll see how well you can learn. Because we haven't eaten meat for a long time, and there's a funeral at home, for the next month, we'll eat small amounts of meat, and we'll eat bigger amounts of meat after a month."

Erya asked greedily: "Mother, what is a small dish?"

Tan You pondered for a moment and said, "Small meat is various stir-fried dishes, stews, and eggs."

She felt that she had been very particular. If she really let Tan You not eat meat for three years, Tan You would eat him alive. Now that she had endured for a month for the sake of the original owner's family, Tan You felt that she had done a good job.

Dinner was just brown rice, a big bowl of bone soup, and a bowl of egg custard for each person.

Tan You looked at the cooked lard and poured a small spoonful of lard into the hot rice without hesitation. The children were not willing to be left behind and ate with their mouths shining.

"It's the first time I've eaten so full." Daya sighed, touching her protruding belly.

Tan You: "From now on, we will have enough to eat every meal."

Arya: "Mom, rice with lard is the best I've ever tasted."

Sanya: "Sister, you just said that bone soup is the most delicious."

Arya: "Everything is delicious. Everything my mother cooks is delicious."

Tan You didn't buy it: "I'm not a nanny who cooks for you. I cook and you wash the pots and dishes."

Daya: "Mom, I will learn to cook in the future."

"Okay," Tan You said happily, "It's also good to learn more skills."

Looking at the four little kids squatting in a row washing dishes, Tan You suddenly frowned. Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, after all, sounded too rustic. And the rate of duplicate names was too high. She had to think of a name for everyone.

Therefore, the three girls who came over after cleaning the kitchen heard Tan You's thoughts.

"Mom, are you going to give us a name?" Daya suppressed her inner excitement, "I don't want to be called Daya either, many people are called that."

Tan You nodded: "You are the eldest sister, and now you are also the eldest daughter in the family, so you naturally have different responsibilities. I want to name you Chen Xi, Xi means sun, and I hope you can be like the sun, always bright and shining."
