Chapter 141 Haggis Soup and Hard Pancakes

Mrs. Cheng has a generous personality, and the time when she married into the Cheng family was also the most stressful time.

At home and outside the house, I didn't know how much Bizitang I drank, and I was determined not to have a baby.

The three-year-old brother-in-law was raised as his own, but the in-laws persuaded him to say:

"It's a long time, and it won't be too late to regenerate when it's better. Otherwise, she, as a mother, will feel uncomfortable living with this kind of hard life."

In a flash, my uncle is also five years old.

After the serious illness of the parents-in-law, their health deteriorated day by day, and the lawsuit made them even more depressed.

Now only Cheng Xiucai and his brother-in-law are left in the family.

Mrs. Cheng pushed open the small courtyard door, and led her uncle to the main room.

The two east wing rooms were vacant, and the annual rent was still paid, so she simply became the second landlord and picked out a family living in the county to rent them out.The rent is not high, and it is required to be honest and not to make loud noises at home.

"Ms. Cheng and Dun'er are back? How is business today?"

The family members on Tuesday came out of the shed of the small kitchen with clay pots in their hands. It was dark and rainy and they couldn't see clearly, but they knew it was them by their big and small figures.

"It's good. Why is sister-in-law eating so late on Tuesday?" Mrs. Cheng led Dun'er without stopping, and raised her voice to answer.

"Hey, the person in charge of my family has just come back not long ago, and I'm waiting for him to eat. I'll go back first."

"It's good to have a job and earn more. It's time for me to cook."

The corner of Cheng's mouth was smiling, and she got five taels of silver today, excluding the cost, it can earn half a year's profit.

The main room lit the oil lamp, stood at the door with Dun'er and untied the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, touched his little face, "I told you to stay at home and refused, you see, it's all freezing."

Dun'er shook his head lightly, grabbed her hand and wrote in the palm of his hand stroke by stroke, "Sister-in-law San is afraid of the dark."

Madam Cheng's nose was sore, she picked him up and walked inside, "Well, sister-in-law San is not as bold as Dun'er."

When Cheng Xiucai heard the sound of the two coming back, she had already put down her brush and cleared the table to greet her with a smile, touched Dun'er's hand, and secretly squeezed his wife's hand.

"I've made you suffer, go back to your room and change your clothes to warm up, I'll go and install a fire cage for you."

"The whole family said such kind words." Mrs. Cheng gave him a coquettish look, and went in to change clothes with Dun'er in her arms.

After walking a few steps, Dun'er twisted his small body to go down by himself, and when Mrs. Cheng lit the oil lamp, he pointed to his clothes and patted his small chest.

"Okay, then you can change it yourself." Mrs. Cheng patted his head and closed the door for him.

In the dark, I found out my clothes, shoes and socks to change, took the wooden bucket and put it away for washing tomorrow, and took the shoes to dry.

Cheng Xiucai returned with a bamboo fire cage and handed it to his daughter-in-law, "I'll bring food."

"Yeah, you made something to eat?" Mrs. Cheng's eyes widened, both surprised and suspicious.

My husband advocates a gentleman who cooks far away, and after the death of his in-laws, he began to change slowly, that is, the level of boiling hot water and setting up a steamer to heat leftovers.

There are no leftover pancakes today, and I originally planned to cook some noodles with noodles to deal with it.

"Yeah." Cheng Xiucai smiled embarrassedly, "I learned from Zhou Zhou's family." After speaking, her face blushed and she buried her head in the back kitchen.

Madam Cheng and Dun'er looked at each other in disbelief.Dun'er pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the bench beside the dining table, signaling her to sit down and wait.

"Okay, let's see what delicious food your third brother has learned." After he sat down, he put the fire cage under his feet, took a small mattress to cover his lap, and turned to get a bowl from the cupboard chopsticks.

Seeing that Cheng Xiucai came back with a pottery basin in his hands, there was a small basket on it, so he looked up curiously, "Ah, I made pancakes." He reached out and took the basket down, "Haggis soup?"

Haggis soup is very expensive now, this pot costs a lot of money, and usually the family is not willing to buy it.

Cheng Xiucai pulled her to sit down, scooped up a bowl with a spoon and placed it in front of Dun'er, and scooped up another bowl for her, scooping up a lot of base ingredients.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Liu's house at the end of the street to help register the list of gift money. His house sent haggis soup, saying it's for us to make up for the winter."

Cheng Xiucai had a gentle smile on his face, showing a hint of pride. The grandson of Liu's family was full moon, and if he was invited to be an accountant for a day, he would be able to receive a red envelope to thank him for the money.

This was the first job he received after he practiced writing with his left hand.He doesn't care if he is not decent, as long as he can earn money for his family.

"I gave a bowl to Tuesday's family, and learned how to stick pancakes from her. It's the first time I made it, um... a bit hard."

Mrs. Cheng looked at his slightly embarrassed face with a smile. The Liu family sells haggis soup on the street, and it rained a lot today, so it is considered generous to take this as a favor.

He reached out to take the pancakes that Duner had gnawed so hard, broke them into pieces and soaked them in his bowl, "It's okay, after soaking soft, you can still absorb the umami flavor of the haggis soup."

Cheng Xiucai imitated her and broke pieces into her bowl, "Li Niang, don't go out when it rains, and rest at home. The loss outweighs the gain from freezing, me, me too..."

The word distressed turned around a few times in his mouth, but in the end he didn't have the nerve to say it loudly in front of Dun'er, so he dared to touch her leg lightly with his leg.

Mrs. Cheng paused her hands, and her eyes became even more smiling. It was extremely difficult for him to say those deceptive words, but she knew what he wanted to say in her heart.

"If it's still raining tomorrow, I won't go out. It's not easy to do business in rainy days." He said and looked at him with a smile, "Guess how much money I brought back today?"

Cheng Xiucai looked at Dun'er, who was obediently drinking the haggis soup with his head down, and then at the smiling daughter-in-law. He took chopsticks to help her mix the broken cake evenly, and chuckled lightly.

"I also said that the business is not easy to do, and I am so happy, my husband can't guess."

Dun'er raised his head, cheerfully stretched out five fingers at him, and grasped it twice.

"55 papers?" Cheng Xiucai was a little puzzled.

The 55 cash includes capital, and the profit is only a dozen cash. I have never seen the two of them so happy before.

Dun'er shook his head, stretched out his little finger to draw the shape of a boat in the air, and then stretched out his finger to show him.

"Is there a silver ingot of five taels?"

Dun'er opened his mouth and gave him a happy smile, then buried himself in the haggis soup.

"Yes, without this silver ingot, today I only have fifty cash, and I paid twenty cash to the shopkeeper of Guanghe Inn."

Madam Cheng lowered her head and took a sip. The haggis soup thickened with cornstarch was thick and delicious. It was a bit spicy with the addition of pepper and cornus officinalis. It was warm in her stomach.

The hard pancakes are also full after soaking, which is very beautiful.

"Today, I almost thought that those twenty coins would be for nothing, but I didn't expect that there would be a table of distinguished guests who wanted all of them, and the baskets were also given to them."

Mrs. Cheng originally wanted to say that the table was beautiful, especially the two young masters.After thinking about it, I didn't mention this. If I praised other men for their good looks in front of my husband, I would be nagged and frivolous by him again.

"I see that round-faced girl likes our family's food very much. I will send a basket to Xiao Er in the morning tomorrow and pass it to her. After collecting so much money, I must give back some kindness."
