farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 229

Zhang Xihua frowned, the high-pitched voice was not unfamiliar, and when she looked up, it was indeed Luo Ergou's aunt Wang.

Ever since Luo Xiangqin came back the year before last and invited Zhang Xihua to see her and had a bit of trouble with Luo Ergou's family, the He family had no friendship with Luo's family, and they bumped into each other on the road, neither of them approached to talk.

Not only He Sheng's family, but also Uncle He's family broke up with the Luo family because of this.When this Wang family saw the He family, she raised her head proudly, turned her mouth up, twisted her body, and flicked her handkerchief to avoid people, as if she was afraid that the members of the He family would rush to curry favor with her.

Luo Xiangyuan, Wang's daughter, and her niece Luo Xiangqin are the lord's concubine in the county town, and the two daughters serve as one husband. Many people in the village used to laugh at her family in private, but they have been watching the daughter of the Luo family for the past year. The benefits of moving back to the family were one after another. Even Luo Ergou's eldest son found a job in the county. I heard that the monthly salary can be half a tael.Seeing the benefits, the number of those who spoke sour words decreased immediately, and the number of people in the village secretly fawning on them gradually increased, and Mrs. Wang also felt that her waist was straightening up.

Mrs. Wang has always treated the villagers in the same village with a superior attitude, and usually does not take the initiative to strike up a conversation with others.

All of a sudden, Mrs. Wang actually greeted herself, even though the words she said were neither yin nor yang, it made people feel uncomfortable, Zhang Xihua was still very surprised, and couldn't help guessing what the other party had in mind.

Mrs. Wang leaned on the door frame of her house, clasped her hands together, and said with a very proud expression: "Oh... our Xiangyuan family gave birth to a fat son for the master of the county. In a few days, we may have wine at home. I heard that your cooking skills are not bad. If you are free, you can come to my house to help."

Zhang Xihua frowned, and turned her eyes around Wang Shi, but she was not in a hurry to answer.

Mrs. Wang probably also knew that her manner of speaking was unpleasant. After clearing her throat with a slight cough, she reluctantly said, "I'll count your wages for you. I'll only make rice noodles for one day, and I'll give you a hundred coins."

After giving out one hundred Wen, Wang suddenly felt that it was like cutting flesh, and she would have given Eighty Wen if she knew it.With so much money of [-] Wen, it is not worthwhile to come to the house for ten or eight days.

Brother Yu was walking well with his mother, but his mother stopped suddenly. Brother Yu waited and waited until his mother left, so he pulled Zhang Xihua's trouser legs. Shi Dao: "Thank you for your love, but unfortunately I can't do heavy work now, so I won't help."

Wang originally thought that Zhang Xihua would definitely agree, so she held her head high and planned to tell her to reduce the price a bit.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Wang picked out her ears, thinking she had heard wrong.

Zhang Xihua smiled and said directly: "I'm very sorry, I can't help you."

Wang's eyes widened and said: "This is a hundred Wen!"

Zhang Xihua shook her head, picked up Brother Yu and planned to leave.If the words are not speculative, the relationship between the two families is already awkward, so there is really no need to deal with her.

"A hundred pennies is too little for you?" Wang put her hands on her hips, screamed exaggeratedly, and said with a very dissatisfied face: "Hey! I said, don't be too greedy! People from the village, if it weren't for you It’s so close and convenient, I’m still not willing to invite you.”

Zhang Xihua paused, without turning her head, said: "Then you should hire someone else. I can't make this money either."

Wang was so angry that she was about to yell, but she didn't know what to worry about, so she held back, put her hands on her chest, made a gesture of negotiating something, and smiled with the corners of her mouth: "Ouch! Auntie, I am clumsy, and I have never been very good at it. Speech. If there is someone who doesn't like you, don't worry about it. I sincerely ask you to help me make the noodles. If the price feels low, we can discuss it again."

Saying these words that go against her heart, Wang shi took a big breath.If Master Chen hadn’t suddenly changed his mind and said that the full moon wine for the children would be set up in Xiaxi Village, the girl Xiangyuan only paid 20 taels of silver for the family to hire cooks, buy ingredients, and buy things. Everything is left to her husband and wife to handle, but the total is only 20 taels, what can they do?Husband Luo Ergou means that it is impossible to spend all the money, and the family always has to withhold a few taels.

How many taels will be deducted? If there is no ten taels of silver, why should the family worry about it?
If you want to save money, you must not go to the town to hire a chef from a restaurant.However, the noodles made by people from the nearby villages were relatively rough and not refined enough. Luo Ergou was a fine person. He wanted to make the scene of the full moon wine look good, and at the same time, he wanted to make a lot of money.No, the couple counted their fingers carefully in private, and felt that in the whole village, among the people who cook the most exquisite food and taste very good, He Sheng's daughter-in-law Zhang Xihua is the top one.

Therefore, Wang slumped and begged in front of Zhang Xihua.

Everyone in He's family knew that Zhang Xihua cooked a good meal, so why would the people of Xiaxi Village know?Also because an [-]-year-old old man in the He family celebrated his birthday last year, Zhang Xihua and He Zengshi helped to renovate the noodles. Among them, she was the chef of two dishes. In addition, Zhang Xihua also cooked the noodles for the birthday banquet. It was a vivid birthday peach, which conquered the people who came to celebrate the birthday on the spot.

Despite her reputation, Zhang Xihua seldom gets involved in matters other than helping people to see a doctor, get medicine, and clean up the banquet.People from the village came to invite Zhang Xihua to help because she could not shirk. In this small village, doctors who treat diseases and save lives are highly respected. After Zhang Xihua expressed her reluctance, no one would force her.

At this time, Wang's attitude had to soften.

Zhang Xihua then smiled and said, "Where can I get my skills? Thank you for your compliment. I really can't help."

Zhang Xihua was resolute, and after saying a few words of apology, she hurried away with her son in her arms.
