Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 236 The Second Uncle's Family (2)
The second sister, Mo Qingqiang, went to get a charcoal basin and put a lot of charcoal on it. Knowing that my uncle hadn't eaten yet, she asked Grandma Cui to help me cook a big pot of chicken noodles in hot soup, and put some green and oily ones grown at home. Spinach and bean sprouts, looking at this color in winter makes me feel comfortable.

"Uncle, hurry up and eat some hot noodle soup, why don't you stay in Fengyang City for a night, just to save a dozen coppers, and get caught in the wind and cold, it's not worthwhile to celebrate the Chinese New Year."

Mo Qingqiang served noodles to my uncle, and shredded the spicy cabbage at home and put it on a small plate. Later, I thought about adding a salty duck egg that was dripping with oil.

"I'll stay here for one night and it'll be noon when I get here. It's 23 tomorrow, so I have to sacrifice the stove."

The uncle looked straight at the steaming noodles in front of him, his stomach let out a loud growl, he was a little embarrassed, showed his bright white teeth, and said, "This noodles smells delicious, it's spinach, how come there are still noodles in this season?" what about this?"

"It's not Li girl who fiddled with it."

The second sister Qing Qiang pointed to the spicy cabbage on the table, "This is also a recipe that she didn't know where she heard it. It's really delicious. Now my grandparents rely on this to serve porridge. They say it's more lumpy than the pickled vegetables at home. Much stronger!"

"Really, then uncle is welcome, let's eat first!"

Liu Guangren had been on the road all night, in a hurry, returning home like an arrow, and now seeing such hot thin white noodles, he felt his whole stomach growling in protest.

"Uncle, you can eat first, eat slowly, don't worry, there are still some in the kitchen, if you don't have enough, add more."

As Qingli said, she also poured two or two ounces of wine for her uncle in a small porcelain cup. She poured this wine out in the space. This made my uncle praise me again and again, and I often come here for dinner on weekdays, in fact, just to drink.

Taking advantage of the time when my uncle was eating, Qingli went to Aunt Mo Liu's house, and met Mo Zishan on the way. He was about to come to her house to ask Li Moxuan to learn how to read. He was very happy to hear that Uncle Qingli came over. He did it. Those puppets and nesting dolls are selling very well in the town. During this period of time, they earned three taels of silver. His family can only make ends meet by farming for a year, and there is no balance at all. The three taels of silver is a lot of money. .

"Little sister, the bean sprouts you made last time were really delicious. My family added some minced garlic and stir-fried them. It tastes good."

Mo Zishan talked about the bean sprouts sent by Qingli a few days ago. He also put some noodles in the hot soup, which was better than Chinese cabbage. He didn't even know that it was soaked in soybeans.

"It's fresher in winter, and my house has a lot of soaked hair. When you leave, think about it, and take it back home to save some fried pork for Chinese New Year."

The bean sprouts can soak a lot with a handful of soybeans, that is, when they are green and yellow, they feel that there are many fresh vegetables. In fact, Qingli doesn’t like to eat it very much, but it’s just that he has no choice. There are only four or five kinds of vegetables in the village for winter, and they change them back and forth. , Some people basically just eat cabbage and sauerkraut for a whole winter.

When Qingli brought Mo Zishan home, his uncle Liu Guangren had just finished eating the noodles, was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, and from time to time told his second sister Qing Qiang what happened when he was selling goods.

"Shanzi, you are here, this is for you."

Uncle Liu Guangren handed over a heavy purse and said, "I sold those small baskets for five renminbi each. Even if you cost three renminbi, there is a booklet with the quantity in it. I heard that you can read and write. You can do the calculations yourself." one time."

"Uncle, I can't do that. I bought the basket for three coins in the town, so how can I sell it to you for three coins? Besides, those are all given to my younger sister. It was agreed that no money will be required."

Mo Zishan quickly refused and put the money bag on the table. He really needed silver, but some silver could not be taken. It was agreed at the beginning. This is his principle of life.

"Brother Shanzi, my brother-in-law gave it to you, so you can take it. My brother-in-law also made money, and I also made a lot of silk flowers for him, and he still has to count the money for me."

Qingli persuaded, and handed over the money bag to Mo Zishan. This is not a one-time transaction, and we will cooperate in the future. We can't just don't want the money all the time, and he deserves it.

"Then I can't ask for so much, and those rushes are not worth money."

Mo Zishan still refused, but was interrupted by Qingli, "This is the first time we have cooperated, and it will only be sold at a high price in time for the Chinese New Year, so there may not be such a price in the future."

"That's right, Shanzi, you borrowed the light of the Chinese New Year, so you sold all those fragrant nanmu hairpins, which also made me a lot of money. You have to accept what is due to you."

The uncle put up the elder's music score and preached to Mo Zishan, which made him nod.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Guangren felt that his body was getting warmer, so he was about to rush home. Before he left, his second sister, Mo Qingqiang, packed a lot of food for him at home, and picked garlic sprouts and spinach. Wrap them with straw, and put a cotton bag on the outside to prevent freezing.

"These are all brought from Fengyang City. This is called black-bone chicken. It is the most nourishing. You can keep the stewed soup for drinking."

My uncle caught a few live black-bone chickens from the bullock cart, and the chickens were all in the cage, shivering from the cold, cuddling together, struggling a bit when they were caught, and lost a lot of hair.

"Yeah, this chicken looks good."

The second sister had never seen it before, and she was very happy to see the black-bone chickens, but she had a barn but no chicken coops, so she went to lay straw again, and planned to raise a few black-bone chickens in the barn.

In the afternoon, my parents came back and bought a lot of things. In the evening, my grandparents and my uncle's family came to eat together again. Grandma Cui, my mother Liu and my uncle made a lot of delicious food. Yes, tomorrow is February 23, not only is there a sacrifice to the stove, but also a traditional New Year's Eve.

There was a new living thing in the house, little disciples Xi and Dong Wa went out again to watch the black-bone chicken in the barn in the backyard, and after seeing it for half an hour, their little faces were flushed from the cold, until it got dark, and then they came back reluctantly Mother Liu wiped his face and feet with hot water, and let him go to bed early.

Every night, when Qingli lay on the kang, she could feel the cold wind blowing in along the window paper. She was more afraid of the cold than anyone else in the family, and she huddled on the kang every day, not wanting to move. Mother saw her like this and was still braving the cold Another layer of window paper was pasted on her, which was much warmer, but the light transmittance was poor, so during the day she crowded into her second sister's room to practice calligraphy and embroidery.

When the whole family was asleep, Qingli secretly ran to the backyard and took a few black-bone chickens into the space. She remembered that black-bone eggs were also a good thing, and these black-bone chickens were reluctant to be killed. It would be nice if they could lay more black-bone eggs. If you are pregnant, it would be nice to take it home with you when you return to your natal home in the second day of junior high school.

"Little sister, are you staying up so late?"

Qingli was about to enter the house when she returned from stealing chickens, when she saw her elder brother wearing a blue jacket standing on the snow in the yard, looking up at the moon in the sky.
