Red apricots make spring

Chapter 29
The next day Wen Rou got up early in the morning and was distressed, what should I do for breakfast?If she made fish porridge again, she might not be able to get it right. She didn't know whether Zhao Yan liked sweet or salty food. After thinking about it, come on, don't have a headache. Go up and eat whatever she likes.However, there is no refrigerator these days, and there are not many fresh ingredients in the kitchen. They are all durable dry goods. Rourou has to go out to tell the boy in charge of grocery shopping and tell him to deliver them in a while. The third girl came from the courtyard.

While waiting for the ingredients to arrive, Ruan Rou boiled porridge, fried pork floss, deep-fried fried dough sticks, and kneaded Chengfen.As soon as the ingredients arrived, she immediately peeled the shrimp and chopped the stuffing, rolled out the skin and made dumplings, and when a small cage of five shrimp dumplings was steamed, she heard the door of Zhao Yan's room being opened with a "squeak". Lan yawned and came out to wash Zhao Yan's face. She quickly poured the goat's milk into a clean pot and boiled it, and put some almonds to remove the fishy smell, then squeezed out the juice from the fresh ginger, and fried two Poached eggs.

She now knows that in ancient times, cows could not be killed incidentally, and it was basically impossible to eat beef. Besides, there are no dairy cows here that specialize in milk production, and naturally there is no milk for sale. If you want to drink milk, you can only have goat milk.

It didn't take long for Zhao Yan to dress up, and when Rou Wen came in earlier, Shulan was inserting a little green pearl hairpin into her bun, she looked at the bronze mirror, turned her face, Seeing that the food was already set on the table, except for a few dishes of congee and side dishes which are common, there were a few other things that she had never eaten before, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "What are these?"

"This is crispy pork floss, which goes well with porridge. This is deep-fried dough sticks, which also goes with porridge. This cage is made of crystal shrimp dumplings. This bowl is made of ginger juice and milk." He said with a gentle smile, "I just came here. I don't know if the girl likes it." What to eat, I made one or two kinds of salty and sweet ones, and there is soy milk left in the kitchen, I don’t know if the girl wants sweet or salty milk?”

"Salty...salty..." Zhao Yan said uncertainly, thinking inwardly, she only drank light soy milk and sweet soy milk, is this salty soy milk safe to drink?

Salty soy milk!Simple!Anyway, seaweed, pickled mustard, dried shrimps and green onions are all available, and of course, fried dough sticks are indispensable!Gentle responded, and immediately rushed back to the tea room like a gust of wind, and brought up a bowl of salty soy milk with sesame oil floating in it. In fact, if she was herself, she would be willing to put chili oil in it, but it's a pity that there is no chili in this place. Many dishes can't be done.

Zhao Yan may have slept well last night, and she seemed in a good mood in the morning. Out of curiosity, she tasted a little bit of this dish, a little bit of that bowl, and finally ate a lot. It seemed that salty food was especially to her appetite. Cage five crystal shrimp dumplings, she ate four, half a dish of crispy pork floss, and a bowl of salty soy milk and white porridge, and when she was full, she herself was startled, wondering why her appetite was so good today , so he stood up a little shyly, and said: "I'll go out for a walk, you can eat too."

Gentle let out a breath, thinking that although Zhao Yan came from a rich family, she is not picky about her food, what she cooks is the breakfast that the common people in the world she lived in used to eat, it is considered cheap food, Zhao Yan actually She also ate with great relish, it seems that she came to the right place this time, as long as Zhao Yan likes to eat her cooking, she will definitely give a few good looks, so that she doesn't have to live in such a panic in the future!
"By the way, you can steam some crystal shrimp dumplings later, and I'll bring them when I pay my respects to Mrs. Zhao." Zhao Yan walked to the door, turned around and asked Wen Rou, and said to Shulan in a blink of an eye, "Go outside Let the kitchen tell me that there is no need to bring food to my place in the future, just send the daily portion."

"Yes." Rourou and Shulan agreed in unison, and seeing that Zhao Yan didn't need company, they called Yaqin and went down to eat together.

Hearing that Zhao Yan asked herself to make more shrimp dumplings, Rou Wen paid attention, steamed two baskets in total, and steamed three more in one basket, and finally kept six secretly, and let Yaqin and Shulan take the two baskets. Then, follow Zhao Yan to greet her.

The crystal shrimp dumpling that was stolen was for Xiaohuan, this girl really likes to eat it, but she came here when she was full, so she barely stuffed three crystal shrimp dumpling into her stomach, and kept yelling, regretting that she didn't eat it this morning. Should eat that much.

"These three, I'll bring them to my mother to eat!" Xiaohuan smiled softly, and then asked Rourou: "How is Miss San treating you?"

"It's okay, anyway, I didn't do anything wrong." Rourou now doesn't have to do things like chopping firewood, fetching water and washing dishes. Naturally, there is a rough maid to clean up. She helps Xiaohuan water the flowers and trees while Chatting with Xiaohuan, life seems to suddenly become more leisurely.

The two were talking, when suddenly there was a rough servant girl outside the yard poking her head, and when she saw Wen Rou, she called out to her, "Sister Ruhua, your mother is here to see you."

what!Almost forgot about this!Gentle patted his forehead lightly, agreed, went back to the hut where he lived, took out all the money he earned from selling bean crisps, and then hurried to the west corner gate to meet Ru Hua's mother.

"Is little brother better?" Rourou asked straight to the point as soon as she entered Pozi Cai's room and saw that the woman was sitting alone in it.

"It's not getting better, and it's not getting worse, but my appetite is better." The expression on the woman's face was much calmer than when they first met. Probably to her, if her son's condition didn't get worse, there was good hope. It's just that she was a little worried after all, so she hesitated and asked softly: "Are you really sure that this method can make Gang'er get better? I made a lot of good things for him in the past two days, and the money was spent like running water ..."

"It's cheaper than asking a doctor to take medicine." Wen Rou interrupted her, put the penny into the woman's hand, told her to put it away, and then asked: "How long will this money be enough for the family?"

"Save it, it will take about ten days." The woman looked at the money in her hand, and seemed to be filled with emotion, and her eye circles began to turn red again.

ten days!About the same as I estimated.In order to earn this amount of money, she has been restless for the past two days. It is so easy to earn it. The speed of spending money is faster than making money!Based on this calculation, she would have to earn at least five or six pennies per month in order to take care of the redemption and support of Ruhua's family. Based on the current situation, this is too difficult!

Seeing the embarrassing look on Wen Rou's face, the woman wiped away her tears again, held her hand tightly and said: "Mother knows that you are in trouble, let's just let it go for a few months, and when your brother recovers, mother will go Do more laundry, sewing, and mending work, and then you will be able to supplement the family with a few dollars a month."

"No!" She gently shook her head.

The woman was so startled that she forgot to cry and looked up at her quickly.

"I mean, how much money is enough to subsidize the family every month?" Rourou hurriedly comforted her: "At any rate, you have to subsidize two shillings, otherwise, mother, you are reluctant to eat and wear, and you will burn yourself and your younger brother. , isn’t the gain outweigh the loss!”

"It's just a pain for you—mother is really sorry for letting you suffer like this as a girl..." When the woman heard this, her grief came from her, and she couldn't hold herself back anymore and burst into tears stand up.

"No, no, I've worked hard for a while, and I'll be fine in the future..." Rourou was busy comforting the woman, but just after she finished speaking, she wondered, why did she feel that what the woman said was a bit unpleasant?Thinking back on what I answered, it was even more nondescript, so I smiled wryly.

What is this all about!Could it be that this woman really wanted to be crooked!

Well, I saw Li Hu's opinion in the book review, and remembered the importance of ancient cows, so I changed all the details related to cows and milk in the previous article. Here, I would like to thank Li Hu^^
I occasionally make some common sense mistakes, and sometimes I write smoothly, and there is no way to pay attention to the details one by one. If there are any mistakes, please remind me.
