The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 26 A Bowl of Soup
Shen Sisi couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "There are always chestnuts in the mountain?!"

Dabao was stunned, thinking that the chestnuts were about to go off the market, his whole body froze, and he couldn't stop laughing. He had tasted the taste of making money, and now that he can no longer make money, this feeling is quite uncomfortable, "Then what should I do?! "

He muttered alone, as if he had lost his soul.

In fact, Shen Sisi didn't deliberately hit him, it's just that he always thinks the problem is so simple, so she can't help it, but in the end she couldn't bear it and said: "There are other ways to make money, don't worry..."

Dabao was overjoyed again, and looked at her in surprise, he knew that Tu Niu must have a way, she can make money, and she can read and write, she is the most capable in this family.

"Dabao, now you understand why I gave chestnuts and sweet-scented osmanthus cake?!" Shen Sisi asked him in a low voice.

Dabao nodded, then shook his head again, "Sanbao told me, I understand a little bit, but not too much, I... I'm not as smart as Sanbao, it's because I'm stupid and can't figure it out."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Being honest also has its advantages, Dabao, now that you understand it, think about it slowly, and you will gradually understand everything in the future. It's just the way of life, you still have to think about it carefully. You are still young. I will always figure it out later..."

Dabao nodded obediently, looking very simple and honest.

Shen Sisi couldn't help but patted his head silently, thinking depressedly, did she develop an addiction? ! !Why do you always feel like you are educating your children? !If this continues, how will she marry, how will she marry? !Marrying a child raised by one hand, this... is too harsh, I can't stand it.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she ordered Dabao to sell more pancakes. After earning money, she decided to eat three meals at home, absolutely three meals.There is no way to eat well for the time being, but first of all, we must ensure that we can eat enough, right? !He also ordered Dabao to stew the bone soup for lunch, but he decided to save the meat for dinner. After all, dinner and breakfast are the main events here, and he doesn’t pay much attention to it at noon. A few cakes and a little soup are good...

All the chestnuts picked that day were sold out, and they decided to go back to pick more chestnuts in the afternoon.

Niu Laogen got out of the donkey cart, moved the oil and salt into the kitchen, then hitched the cart off the donkey and put it in the yard, drove the donkey into the donkey shed, and then went into the house with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Tian Guihua came out from the back room, saw him carrying the pastry and frowned and said, "Why did you buy this, it cost a few pennies..."

Niu Laogen smiled and said, "I don't have the money to buy this, it's from the local girl..."

"Tu Niu?!" Tian Guihua said in a daze, "What's going on?! Why can't I understand?!"

Xiaohua came out of the chicken coop, dusted off the dust on her body, saw Niu Laogen smiled and said: "Father is back..."

"Here, I'll eat it for you, this is osmanthus cake..." Niu Laogen handed it to her.

Xiaohua was a little surprised, but still took it, without saying a word, and looked at Tian Guihua.

Niu Laogen loves this little daughter, but Tian Guihua doesn't like this daughter very much. Her thoughts are all on her son, and she thinks her daughter is a loser.

Therefore, Tian Guihua used to frown when she saw Niu Laogen bringing food back as soon as she entered the city. The cake is heavy, and the portion does not seem to be much. Xiaohua knows that she can't keep it, but she still hopes to eat a piece...

Tian Guihua really said: "What kind of sweet-scented osmanthus cake does a girl eat, give it to me, leave it to Xiaoshui and the others..."

Xiaohua was already a little bit wronged, but she didn't dare to show it, so she obediently handed it over. Niu Laogen frowned and said, "Why do you have to be so fussy about a little sweet-scented osmanthus cake? That's all, leave half for them, and leave the rest. Give half to Xiaohua..."

Tian Guihua reluctantly agreed, but asked, "You said it was given by the local girl, what's going on?!"

Xiao Hua also looked at him in surprise.

Niu Laogen smiled and said: "The children of Zhong's family are capable, especially the local girls who are good at life. They fried chestnuts and went to the city to sell them. They sold them for five cents a catty. I thought they would sell them. I didn’t go out, but I didn’t expect it to be sold. When I came back, I saw that they bought black noodles and meat... I just saw that it was not easy for their children to carry things on their backs, so I took them along for a ride. Thinking that Tu Niu gave me a catty of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and told me to bring it to Xiao Hua..."

Niu Laogen had no intention of speaking, but Tian Guihua listened with interest, "What? Roasted chestnuts can be sold for five cents a catty. How did she sell them? Is there any secret recipe?!"

Niu Laogen frowned and said, "I don't know what the secret recipe is, but I added salt and sugar. I ate a few and it was really delicious. No wonder it was sold..."

Seeing that Tian Guihua's eyes were turning sharply, he hurriedly said: "Let me tell you something, you are just thinking about it, this is because they earn a little money to supplement their family, so don't worry about it..."

"Small money?! Five cents a catty is still a small penny, and a hundred catties is worth five hundred pennies. How about a small penny?!" Tian Guihua muttered, her eyes began to roll around, and her eyes turned to Xiaohua, who looked at Xiaohua nonchalantly. Looking at her, she is actually most afraid of her mother.

Niu Laogen frowned and said, "Don't they have to spend money, how expensive are salt and sugar?! Don't think about it, we can't earn this money..."

Tian Guihua didn't say a word, but waited for Niu Laogen to go to the yard to fetch water to wash his face, then she grabbed her little daughter and said, "Xiaohua..."

With a smile on her face, Xiaohua said timidly: "...Mother."

Tian Guihua stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her hand and said, "You save this and eat slowly..."

"Mother..." Xiao Hua said puzzled, "Don't leave it for Xiao Shui and the others to eat?!"

"This is for you..." Tian Guihua said with a smile: "You are fine now, you don't need to cook the meal, I will cook it, you go to Zhong's house, thank them for the osmanthus cake, and... See how they fry chestnuts?!"

No matter how stupid Xiaohua is, she still understands what she means, and said uneasily, "...that is someone's secret recipe, can I see it?"

Tian Guihua poked her unconvincingly and said, "What secret recipe can there be for frying chestnuts? Isn't it just a simple stir-fry, you mainly go to see what seasoning they put in, if you don't show it, you can't secretly look at it ?!"

"Mother, this, it's time for lunch break, they may not be frying chestnuts, I can't just stay at their house..." Xiaohua wanted to say a few words, but seeing that Tian Guihua's face had turned pale, she immediately frightened her. Too afraid to say any more, I could only lower my head and wring my hands.

Tian Guihua said bitterly: "Useless things, you have to go if you don't go today, don't come back to eat if you can't see it..." She snatched the osmanthus cake in her hand again, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat this, wait You can only eat it when you come back, so hurry up..."

Xiaohua felt aggrieved and wanted to cry for a moment, she held back her eyes and went out of the courtyard door, and walked away with her head turning her head three times.

Usually, Tian Guihua is harsh and harsh to her, and she can bear a few words of scolding, but she really can't do it if she is asked to peek at other people's secret recipes. Osmanthus fragrans likes her, but I always think she is stupid and stupid, and I am afraid that she will not be able to marry in the future...

Aggrieved, she came to the door of Zhong's house, lingered for a long time, and then went in. Regardless of whether she could see it or not, she had to express her gratitude to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Tu Niu..." Xiao Hua entered the yard and called out, her eyes still red.

Tu Niu came out of the house, saw her and said with a smile: "Why are you here? Come on, sit down..." She grabbed another handful of roasted chestnuts for her, and said, "I fried it myself at home, try it..."

Xiao Hua felt even more embarrassed and guilty, and said, "Thank you for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake..."

"What's the matter?!" Tu Niu smiled, seeing her red eyes, she could guess something. She also knew the rumor about Tian Guihua. I guessed some, and said with a smile: "It's okay in the afternoon, why don't you go pick chestnuts with us, I'll teach you how to fry them, and you can earn some money to buy some clothes and flowers in the future..."

In fact, Niu Laogen's family is not difficult to get along with, it is considered a wealthy family in the village, but Xiaohua doesn't have a decent dress on her body, she looks very shabby and has low self-esteem, just like the children from Tu Niu's family Yes, people are partial to this, and the local girl has nothing to say.

Xiao Hua stared at her blankly, and said, "You teach me?!"

"Well, it's not a difficult thing to learn, you can figure it out at a glance..." Tu Niu thought that the fried chestnuts can't be kept at all, so it's better to be more generous, there's no need to hide it for nothing to make people jealous Besides, Tian Guihua now knows that if she is not allowed to fulfill her wish, this woman will never forgive others, and her behavior will be even worse. Maybe she can do something like wipe out all the chestnuts in the back mountain, and then it will be boring up.

"Tu Niu, thank you..." Xiaohua's eyes turned redder, and she said, "I'm sorry, my mother..."

Shen Sisi hurriedly interrupted her and said: "It's getting late, go back to eat, come early in the afternoon..."

"Okay." Xiaohua didn't say anything else, she couldn't speak ill of her mother, she grabbed the fried chestnuts in her hand, and went back gratefully.

Dabao came over again, "Tu Niu, this..." His face was troubled.

Shen Sisi stared at him with a smile, jokingly said: "I think Xiao Hua is pretty good, now we have made friends, and it will be very good to marry and be my sister-in-law in the future, IKEA IKEA..."

Dabao was obsessed with the recipe for stir-frying chestnuts and gave it lightly. He wanted to talk to the local girl, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed like this, so he blushed immediately and said: "...you, you alone The little girl... how could... make such a joke..."

And still with my brother? !

Shen Sisi smiled lightly and said, "Why are you blushing? I didn't say I wanted her to be my sister-in-law. I still have two older brothers..."

Dabao stared straight, his neck was red and he couldn't say anything about her, and he couldn't be angry with her, so he could only say depressedly: "You, you..."

But still didn't say anything, turned around and hid in the kitchen in embarrassment.

Shen Sisi smiled unkindly in the back, this girl is too honest, she will marry a wife in the future, only someone like Xiao Hua, just know that she loves him, it's too powerful, he also commits crimes, can't be suppressed, still have to bullied.

It's not easy for her. After worrying about her livelihood, she also has to worry about their marriage. It's too entangled.

Just as I was thinking wildly, there was a loud yell in front of the yard gate.

Er Gouzi rushed in with a few boys, barking and shouting, "Dabao, did your family eat meat yesterday?! I heard that the smell of meat wafted far away. Where did you get the money to buy meat? It’s not for Chinese New Year!? What’s going on!? Your family got rich?!”

Er Gouzi was startled, it was very noisy and impolite, but all the boys in the village were like this, bluffing, saying that the wind is the rain.

But Er Gouzi and the boys with him all stared at them with wide eyes, almost drooling, their eyes were bright, and they had already smelled the smell of the bones. They didn't believe it at first, but now they all Believe it, no wonder the dogs at the gate of the yard refused to leave. They gnawed on the leftover meat and bones yesterday, and these dogs are also very smart. Today, they have been guarding the yard for a long time...
