The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 140

Heitan took a detour to the study when he was driving to his hometown to dress like paper, and told Chu Ying that Lu Ming had already returned, and that he would go to Chang'an in a few days before making preparations, and asked Chu Ying to make some preparations.

"It's still early, why don't you take me to Lu's mansion so I can ask what I need to prepare, and I made a scroll here, so I can send it to him."

"Okay." But Heitan's car can't fit that much, there are still two boxes of Chuying in the frame, and put a wooden frame on Changsheng, so that these two boxes can also be transported.

When I got to the Lu Mansion, I saw a few beautifully decorated carriages parked at the door. I don't know who this is who came to Lu Ming's house as a guest. He carried a box containing the scroll books by himself, and asked Heitan to put everything else in the warehouse. , when Lu Ming wants to use it, he can take it directly from the warehouse.

Chu Ying walked to Lu Ming's room familiarly, and saw a book flying out before entering the door. "Uncle said that you will take me with you when you enter Chang'an this time, so what's going on with Chu Ying? I don't allow you to take her with you. If you want to bring maidservants, you can bring as many maidservants as you want, but you are not allowed to bring her."

"Why can't you take her with you? It's not like you haven't been to Chang'an. Chu Ying has always wanted to go outside and have a look. I have already told her that I promised her that I would take her with me. Stop messing around, and you too. What if a big sister brings her own sister to play?"

Chu Ying stood by the door without going in, and put the box on the ground. "You don't know why your father asked me to go together? You have been outside for half a year, and we have no time to get along well. In a few years, you will reach the age of marriage. Your father is afraid that you will not adapt, so Give us a chance to get along."

"Don't say any more, I'm already very tired after coming back this time, if you really do my best, go out and leave me alone." Chu Ying heard the footsteps coming out and hurried away to find Heitan, " I've been feeling unwell recently, and I originally wanted to tell Lu Ming that I can't go to Chang'an, but there seems to be someone in his room, so I'll leave first, so you can tell him about it."

Chu Ying stroked the hair on Changsheng's head, looked at the servants waiting outside Lu Ming's government office, sighed, and rode back to the study.Sitting in the small bamboo house by the pond, she kept fishing, but she didn't pay much attention to the fishing rod. When the fishing rod shook violently, Chu Ying quickly pulled it hard, and caught a larger black fish, which was scaled by the side of the pond. Remove the viscera and black film, and cut off the fins.

Waiting to go back to the kitchen to cut off the fish head and tail, wash the fish body and drain the water, then cut off the upper half of the fish meat against the fish bone, then slice the other half, and then slice the fish.

Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying's fish fillets as thin as cicada's wings, and felt that the sunlight could see through them when he picked them up. Chu Ying's knife skills were getting better and better. "What is this for?"

"Sauerkraut fish." Chu Ying marinated the fish fillets and fish bones with egg whites, flour, cooking wine, salt, ginger and garlic for a while. During this time, Chu Ying took out the sauerkraut, washed it and cut it into sections. Because Ye Qiu was afraid of the previous drought When I had nothing to eat, I could only eat pancakes, so I made a lot of sauerkraut for emergencies.

However, these dozens of jars of sauerkraut are a bit too exaggerated in Chu Ying's eyes. Put the onion and ginger into the oil pan, fry the pan, add sauerkraut, add more firewood to the stove, and heat the stove vigorously until the aroma of sauerkraut is wafting. When Chuying comes out, add water, add fish bones after boiling, wait for a few minutes and add fish fillets, because the fish fillets are relatively thin, you can put them in a large bowl after a little boiling and stirring, if the thin fish fillets are cooked for a long time, they will fall apart Lose.

Because there is no cumin, chili, and pepper, I didn’t stir-fry them again, but this sauerkraut is made of Sichuan sauerkraut. It tastes salty and sour, has a crisp taste, bright color, and a tangy aroma. But the taste of this sauerkraut is already very sour.

But Ye Qiu didn't seem to like it very much, "This is too sour, but this fish is quite delicious."

Dong He was working in the nearby paper ink shop and came over smelling the scent. He asked the ink seller next to him to help him take a look at the shop. The ink seller next to him was selected by Chu Ying through bidding from several shops selling ink inkstones. Because there are not many people now, Chu Ying only charges 8 taels of annual rent.

"It smells so good, let me try a piece... This sauerkraut is delicious, it tastes better than stir-fried meat with sauerkraut, and the fish is so tender." Chu Ying looked at Donghe and wanted to eat another piece It seems that there will still be a market for this pickled fish.

"Don't eat, let's eat together when we eat, let's go to work first." Since there is no such big bowl at home, Chu Ying divided it into three bowls and packed them.

"Chu Ying, why did you come back after going to my house and didn't say hello to me? Heitan said you're not going to Chang'an anymore, what's going on?" Chu Ying looked at Lu Ming's hair that was blown tousled by the wind.

Ye Qiu gave Lu Ming the comb, but he pushed the comb away and looked straight at Chu Ying who was cooking. Ye Qiu put the comb away and went to help with the cooking.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been busy recently, sit down for a while, and look at your wind, this sauerkraut fish has just been made, let's try it. I'm just not in good health recently, and this district is so far away from Chang'an, I'm afraid I can't bear it , it will drag you down then." Chu Ying set the table and chopsticks for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming pushed the bowls and chopsticks aside, "You are as strong as a cow, and you hunt like a tiger. If you say you are not in good health, wouldn't it be worse for me? The public test is done, Besides, I promised you that I will take you to see the outside when I have a chance. I will leave in 5 days, Ye Qiu, just help her prepare her clothes."

"I..." Chu Ying was at a loss for words for a moment. In fact, she really wanted to go out and see the outside world. She didn't want to stay in one place, but she was afraid that Lu Ming would bring her to destroy his father and Yu Wenge. The planned time to spend together will make it difficult for Lu Ming to explain to his father.

"Don't talk about it, I will pick you up in 5 days, and then we will go out of the city together. It smells really good. There are so many sauerkraut... It's quite delicious. It tastes good. When the time comes, leave it to my cook, okay?" ? Really delicious."

Chu Ying hesitated for a while, then nodded.Lu Ming looked at Chu Ying's hesitation just now and naturally knew what she was worried about, "Don't worry, my cook only cooks for her own family, and won't spread the word. I'll go first, or it will be dark when I go back. "

Chu Ying sent Lu Ming away, and looked at Ye Qiu who was leaning on the door frame to watch Lu Ming leave. I don't know when Ye Qiu seemed to be interested in Lu Ming, maybe it was her own guessing.

A few days later, Ye Qiu made a small muslin scarf for Chu Ying at night.He said earnestly: "I used to think that you wore men's clothes and thought it was not a good look, but now I feel that you can feel more at ease in men's clothes. After all, it is inconvenient for a girl to go out and walk outside. Try this, you can wrap your neck around, When you were young, you wore men’s clothes and others regarded you as a boy, but now that you grow up without Adam’s apple, others can spot it at a glance, and the circumference will be better.”

Chu Ying wrapped up the scarf. The scarf was small, and it just wrapped around her neck. It didn't drag out much. She touched Ye Qiu's hand and said shyly, "Young lady knows how much she loves me."

Ye Qiu lightly smacked Chu Ying's lips, "I knew to speak nasty words. You can't say that when you go outside. I brought you 5 sets of clothes, one set of thicker ones, three sets of good materials, and one set of clothes. The material is slightly inferior, you can wear this set when you are on the road, and you can change into good clothes when you go to a big place, so don't let people underestimate it, and..."

Chu Ying saw a white hair growing out of Ye Qiu's teenage hair. She had grown up, but it still made Ye Qiu worry a lot. "Okay, okay, I'm so old, can I still take care of myself? It's really Mama Ye, look at you, you work so hard, you don't know how to take care of yourself, you look much older, and your face is not fat anymore I don’t want to use it, just wipe it on more, or no one will want it if I look old.”

Ye Qiu covered his mouth and smiled, "I still have you. I don't want to find someone, I just want to take care of you for the rest of my life. You have grown up, but in my eyes you are still that impulsive little kid. If you make some dry food, you won’t starve to death if you don’t go to the village or back to the shop to bring some dry food on the road.”
