pretty little cook

Chapter 38

The two sisters picked up a lot of firewood, and Mi Xiaowan even climbed a tree to dig out a nest of bird eggs. When they entered the yard, they were stunned. The barrels and wooden barrels were all painted with a layer of oily water paint, and there was an iron hoop on the outside.What's more special is that this wooden barrel is different from ordinary wooden barrels, and there is a tightly fitted lid on it.

Mi Xiaowan stroked each barrel happily, and asked Mi Xiaoyue with surprise. "Sister, is this okay for cold tea?"

Mi Xiaoyue also had a look of surprise. "It should work!" Then he looked towards the door of the main room, and saw Mi Tianqing and Zhang Shi looking at them in the yard with a faint smile on their faces.

Following Mi Xiaoyue's gaze, Mi Xiaowan also noticed Mi Tianqing and Mrs. Zhang standing behind her. Under the setting sun, in a small courtyard, a harmonious family, happiness is so simple.

Many years later, Mi Xiaowan would often say to a person she loved with a smile that if it hadn't been for Mi Tianqing's unreasonable pampering, their family and even her would probably live their lives in obscurity.

"Mother, haven't you finished the herbal tea at noon?" Ba Le took a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, Mi Xiaowan saw that the sun had not completely set, and then saw the brand-new wooden barrel in the courtyard, and immediately felt itchy in his heart.

Mrs. Zhang smiled "puchi". "Your father and I are not buckets of so much herbal tea, how can we drink it up!" Seeing Mi Xiaowan's eyes glance at the wooden bucket from time to time, my heart softened. "How about we take the remaining herbal tea to the official road to try?"

"Okay!" Mi Xiaowan jumped three feet, and immediately went to the water tank at home to pick up the water ladle. "Mom, let's go now!"

Even if the sun has set in summer, the heat from the land that has been scorched by the sun for a day is unbearable to people walking on the road.

Mrs. Zhang walked in front carrying two buckets of water, Mi Xiaoyue and Mi Xiaowan followed behind carrying a bucket of water.

Stretching out her hand to caress the smooth bucket, Mi Xiaowan couldn't help asking. "Mom, where did this bucket come from?"

"It belongs to your Uncle Tu's house. He often helps others with some carpentry work when he is free. This was originally ordered by a winery in Fucheng. It was said to be filled with wine from the Western Regions, but people disliked these pieces of wood. I didn’t ask for it, I just took it back when I went there!” Zhang said.

Hearing this, Mi Xiaowan took a closer look, and indeed, there were a few black spots on the boards in the middle, which didn't affect them to release water, so she didn't notice it at first.But then Mi Xiaowan had another question. "Then why did you think of going to his house?"

Mrs. Zhang paused and said. "Your father let you go!"

Mi Xiaowan is not stupid, she immediately understood that even if such a good wooden barrel has cracks, but the paint, iron hoops and laborers have to charge a little, Mi Tianqing and the others can spend this money at this time , the reason is self-evident.

Mi’s house is not very far from the official road, and the mother and daughter have already reached the official road when they are talking. In summer, because of the hot weather, there are more people traveling at night than during the day. At this time, there are many pedestrians and caravans on the official road. endlessly.

After the mother and daughter picked the wooden barrel onto the official road, Zhang's face turned red, she really couldn't open her mouth to shout!This water is not like gardenias in the morning. People will come to ask for it when it is put out, and everyone is a woman, so it is much more convenient to talk. There are many pedestrians on the road, men, women and children. This water is placed in a wooden barrel. Here, if you don't yell, who knows what you are doing here?
