The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 88 New Year's Eve
After the rice was steamed, she was still not idle, and turned on a small stove again, and took out the rice vinegar and yellow fruit vinegar that she had made before, preparing to cook them into sushi vinegar suitable for mixing rice.

A corner under the kitchen was full of bottles and jars, including a small jar of soy sauce. An Xu smelled it when he was picking up the vinegar, and it was ready to eat.

With these soy sauces, today's sushi has a soul.

Before the vinegar had cooled down, Zong Che came back. At this time, the three old ladies were cooking, so he didn't come in. He put the sugar in his sleeve pocket, said hello to the old people, and walked back to the kitchen. to the room.

Mrs. Rong said to An Xu: "This child is very good, your father has good eyesight."

She was also in the county government office that day. She heard about the fact that An Xu and Zong Che were blocked in the same room. She felt that the case was very responsible, and she didn't worry about embarrassment and let his fiancee bear the responsibility of others. wink.

It was only then that An Xu remembered that Mrs. Rong knew that Zong Che had said that the two of them were a fiancé couple at the county government that day, so she could only smile at that moment.

She made more than a dozen sheets of seaweed, which were larger than the ones bought in the market later on, and the amount of one roll was enough for her to eat half full.

Half an hour later, the rice was steamed and let it cool down. An Xu added an appropriate amount of sushi vinegar into it and stirred it. The smell immediately drew out the saliva of the old and young people who were watching her making sushi around the chopping board.

"Xu'er, what you are going to do, I am getting more and more confused the more I look at it." Mrs. Rong lost her composure and diverted her attention by talking.

An Xu smiled and said, "I just want to roll up these rice."

By the way, I still need salad dressing. She made some before and used it for rice balls, and there are still leftovers.

"Xiao Chong, bring me the little white jar on the second shelf over there." The branch envoy An Yu had been back for a while, and An Chong was watching from the side.

There are basic types of sushi, the dark green seaweed is wrapped with grains of rice, and the center is golden yellow meat floss and egg pancakes. It's just such a few simple things, but the color combination is very bright.

There is also rice on the outside, seaweed stuffing inside, made into a beautiful shape, rolled in a circle of finely divided sprinkles, it is a very classic golden green.

An Xu put the sushi on a flat plate made of bamboo and brought it to the dining table. The water added before making the sushi was already boiling, and a pot of sweet soup was soon ready.

"Xu'er, your idea is really novel, we had a fresh meal with you today." Mrs. Rong said with a smile.

An Xu said embarrassingly: "I heard from some businessmen who traveled far away that this way of eating is very popular in some small countries overseas."

Mrs. Rong said that there is indeed a country whose staple food is similar to this, but it is basically a very rough method, which is very different from An Xu's method that requires special vinegar and soy sauce.

The sushi has a sweet aftertaste, mixed with the freshness of seaweed, forming a very good taste, so although the meal was simple, everyone ate it very happily.

After dinner, it was still broad daylight. Mrs. Rong knew that An's house would not be able to accommodate her, so she took the initiative to say goodbye, but said to An Xu before leaving: "We will have breakfast tomorrow morning, don't forget to cook our meals."

An Xu naturally agreed, and when it was delivered to the door, there was already a carriage waiting outside, and the driver was the one he had seen the day before yesterday.

After confirming Zhao Cheng's identity, Mrs. Rong asked Mother Qiu to take the car to the town to inform the car to come.

"Let's go, let's go back." After getting in the car, Mrs. Rong said to the outside. Seeing her grandson standing inside the door, she just looked at him and didn't move forward. She knew that the child was still shy, so she waved her hand. , and said again: "Go back. Grandma will be back tomorrow."

An Xu turned around, stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Cheng to come over, and watched the carriage go away with him before returning home.

Under the thatched hut by the wall, Anjia was eating grass slowly. When he saw someone coming, he looked up and continued eating. It was Xiao Anle, who naughtily approached the person.

An Xu touched the little guys' heads to see that the hay in their nests was still dry, so he didn't change it. He just took a broom and swept the camel hair that fell on the ground into a basket.

Since she started her business on the official road, she has often done this kind of thing, but it was late autumn when she started her business, which was not the season for animal shedding, and the animals that can travel long distances are generally horses and camels.

Now An Xu has the most collection of camel hair, and she plans to take advantage of her spare time tomorrow to clean these camel hairs and see if they can be spun into threads.

She looked at An Jia, who was concentrating on grazing, and reached out to pat her on the head, waiting for the spring to cut the wool for you.

An Xu had several camel hair coats before, and the price was very beautiful.

According to the current price of a fox fur cloak is 2 taels, the price of a camel hair coat will not be too low.

Thinking of this, An Xu looked at An Jia with more kind eyes.

In the house, Zong Che saw that An Xu had been by the camel shed, the family was busy with their own business, even Dao Xiang and Zhao Cheng, who were most attached to her, were playing in the yard, so he came out.

But as soon as he went out, the person who was still next to the camel shed just now disappeared.

Zong Che took a look, then walked towards the warm shed, and sure enough, he heard movement inside, so he walked in.

An Xu was squatting next to a tall eggplant plant, already holding two round green eggplants in his hands, when he heard footsteps, he looked up, saw Zong Che, and said, "Bring me the basket over there." .”

There was a bamboo basket hanging on one side of the entrance, which was used for picking vegetables on weekdays. Zong Che took it off and brought it to An Xu, asking, "Why did you remember picking eggplants?"

"It's time to prepare the new year's goods. I want to eat fried eggplants," An Xu said while picking out the eggplants that can be picked. "Pick a few more and send some to the uncle's house tomorrow."

There are also leeks and beans that were grown just a few days ago, which are very rare at this time, and I also gave some to the uncle's family.

Just thinking about this, a small square thing wrapped in oil paper was handed to him.

"what is this?"

Zong Che said: "The wedding candy from Zheng's family." Seeing that An Xu was occupying both hands, he peeled it off and brought it to her mouth.

An Xu looked at Zong Che, his eyes were clear, and he stuffed them directly into those petal-like lips.

An Xu was taken aback, swallowed the candy subconsciously, and said with a smile: "Sorghum yee, it's quite sweet."

Zong Che didn't smile, but there seemed to be thousands of spring and March in his eyes. He lowered his head, opened the oil paper and took one into his mouth.

----

In the morning, An Xu got up and pushed open the door, because it was another sunny and cloudless day. Before the sun came out, it was the coldest time of the day.

After taking a breath, a cloud of white mist spewed out from the cold air. She looked amused and kept breathing.

In modern times, there are very few opportunities to be in such a cold outdoor all the time. An Xu can't remember how long he hasn't seen such a primitive scene.

Compared with the previous life, the current environment is still the most natural and authentic.

However, An Xu felt that the living environment at this time was a bit barbaric, and she needed to get used to it outside for a while every day before she could endure the harsh winter and do her own things.

It was warm under the kitchen shed. Granny Zhao made a big pot of rice porridge, and the bowl of noodles that An Xu served before going to bed last night was almost ready at this time, and she was about to knead buns.

An Xu walked in, wearing an apron, and said, "I'll come, you always help me."

Before breakfast was ready, Mrs. Rong's master and servant had already arrived at the door. The coachman delivered the old lady and was ordered to go back to the town to wait.

Mother Qiu was holding a big fishing net bag in her hand, which contained a huge carp.

Mrs. Rong said: "When I left the town, I saw someone selling fish, and I bought a big one. Hu, what do you think we will eat for lunch?"

She not only fell in love with this peaceful small village, but also liked the excellent cooking skills of the girls in this village.

An Xu was still holding the steamed stuffed bun in his hand, and after a glance, it turned out to be a big fish. He said with a smile, "We'll cook fish soup in the courtyard at noon."

In the sunny weather in winter, even if there are several warm pots indoors, it is not as comfortable as sunbathing outside.

An Xu liked to eat in the sun in the yard, Mrs. Rong said with a smile, "Okay, you make the arrangements, and we all follow your command."

Zhao Chengzheng walked over from the hut, his footsteps paused, and he still called out: "Grandmother."

"Oh," Mrs. Rong agreed excitedly, and stepped forward to pat her grandson's head, "This is something fun that grandma brought you. They were all bought in the town. Let's play with it first, and when we return to the capital, we will There are many in the house."

Zhao Cheng nodded and thanked with a smile.

Seeing the child's unavoidable strange attitude, Mrs. Rong felt sour, but she knew very well that the child was not to blame, no one could get close to someone who had never heard of it before for no reason.

As the saying goes, out of ten fogs and nine clears, a sunny day must also indicate that the fog may be relatively large, and it is not obvious in the village, but the small road to the north of Linhe Village is smoky from a distance.

There is an old man in the village who gets up early to collect firewood. As soon as he bends down to pick up a firewood, the sound of wheels rolling over the ground becomes clear.

The old man looked up, and a big carriage pulled by fat horses gradually became clear. The driver in front was a young man, but he was very face-to-face.

Thinking it was a passer-by, the old man ignored it, so he was about to cross the ditch to hug two spinach in front of his family's field. The young man driving the car stopped and said, "Old man, let me ask you where to go."

The old man stopped and asked, "Tell me."

At the same time, I guessed in my heart that this was from relatives?Who has such rich relatives?

"Is it Linhe Village ahead?"

The old man nodded: "Who are you looking for?"

"One named An Xu."

The old man was puzzled, "An Xu? No, there are many people named An in our village, and there really isn't any child named Xu?"

"By the way, she has a younger brother named An Chong."

"It's Dani," the old man suddenly realized, pointing in the direction of the village: "Cross the bridge and enter the village, you go straight ahead, when you reach the end, turn east, the outermost house is their house."

The young man bowed his fists to express his thanks, and finally found a place. If he couldn't deliver the New Year's gift before the New Year, it would be a waste of his young master's preparations after returning home.

An Xu never expected that Fang Fu would ask someone to bring her a New Year's gift, and it was Han Yun who brought it himself.

When Han Yun found the door of An's house, he felt relieved and asked to unload the things, while he walked to the camel shed and made out with the two camels.

For these people who often run business, camels are their closest friends.

An Jia is obviously familiar with Han Yun, he lowered his head and rubbed it under Han Yun's hands, and reminded An Le to get close to Han Yun with a tweet.

"Have a cup of tea," An Xu brought a cup of tea to Han Yun's hand, "Your young boss is not just asking you to give you a New Year's gift."

Han Yun said with a smile: "Young master said, it must be hidden from you."

An Xu nodded without turning the corner, and said directly, "Tell Master Fang, don't worry, I won't cooperate with anyone else in the canned food business."

Han Yun saluted. In fact, after they got home, it wasn't that they didn't try to make it themselves. They could make boiled fruit with sugar water that tasted similar to the taste, but they couldn't keep it for many days.

The master said, don't waste that effort, often the most ordinary and inconspicuous things you look at are the most secret secrets that others cannot penetrate.

Therefore, Han Yun received the task from the young master to deliver a cartful of gifts prepared by someone after returning home to Miss An's home.

"This family is not bad, and the things they send are all top-notch." Here, Mrs. Rong stood aside, watched people unloading things, went through them one by one, and said to the old lady Zhao: "Not only things Well, take care too, and you see, there are several kinds of silk and fine muslin for this cloth alone."

Granny Zhao said in a low voice: "I heard that the man took one young master to another, and he should be about the same age as Xu'er, so there must be some unreasonable thoughts."

Mrs. Rong looked at the wall, "I just heard a few words, it's about business."

It is not suitable for merchants to get married. Mrs. Rong is not looking down on merchants along with the general environment, but has really seen the ugly face of merchants seeking profit.

Therefore, I am more concerned about the intention of Fang Shaodong who came here to give the New Year's gift.

No matter what An Xu thinks, she will have to worry about her future life as an old woman. It can be seen that the boy with the family name of An's family is good with her.

If in the future this kid gets too high and doesn't like An Xu, then she will find a good son-in-law for the girl in Rong's house.

Mrs. Rong didn't think it was enough to use this to repay Xu'er for helping them.

Han Yun didn't stay for dinner, and after the people who came with him unloaded all the things from the car, he immediately set off to leave.

At noon, the arrangement for the family to eat fish soup pot was not delayed. Under the bright sunshine, the thick white fish soup gurgled into dense small blisters, and the green vegetables were cooked immediately in the pot, wrapped in the fragrant soup. In the mouth, the delicacy hits the soul directly.

The fish soup made by An Xu is really not fishy at all, and the umami taste of the fish can be well preserved. Therefore, whether it is Fengnian brothers and sisters who have not eaten many good things before and have a relatively simple taste, or the taste has been overwhelmed All kinds of delicious and delicious Mrs. Rong's master and servant are delicious.

Two fish soup pots, with fresh and tender fish meat, can be eaten by a few mouthfuls.

In the afternoon, An Xu rested for a while and came out to prepare new year's goods. Mother Qiu came over and said, "Girl, you go out and play for a while, don't be busy all year round. Our old lady has already ordered a lot of roast chicken and goose in the town, keeping them for the New Year's Eve. I won’t be able to starve you all.”

An Xu really didn't know how to play, she didn't know any girls of the same age as her in the village, and according to observation, the original An Da Ni didn't have any good friends.

An Xu said, I don’t want to go, it’s also interesting to prepare New Year’s goods at home.

But whatever she does next, Mother Qiu can take over, which makes An Xu very funny.

Today there was a pig butcher in the village. An Chong was ordered by his sister to buy a large piece of pork belly with distinct layers. When he came back, he saw what was going on under the cook and asked Fengnian: "What's the mother Qiu doing?"

Feng Nian said with a smile: "Nurse Qiu wants the young lady to go out to play for a while, but the young lady won't go."

An Chong thought for a while, came over and put the pork in a clay pot, and said, "Sister, I happen to be fine, I'll take you out to play."

An Xu: Why are everyone urging me to play? Do I look like the kind of girl who loves to play?
"Is this Da Ni's house?"

A curious voice sounded at the door, and a woman in a new red dress had already walked in, and asked behind her, "Why can't we come in?"

An Xu: Who are you? You are not polite at all when you go to other people's houses. I really can't let you in.

At this time, I heard my younger brother leaning over and whispering: "Sister, she is Zheng Huai's new wife."

Mother Qiu immediately said: "It's the new daughter-in-law in the village, no wonder there are so many bumps in the door. Come in, sit down."

The tone behind it reveals that you are the new daughter-in-law and we don't care about you.

Zheng Huai walked in slowly, with a bit of shame on his face, and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm taking her to get acquainted with the village. She saw your house facing the mountain and was curious."

Jin Yu looked at Zheng Huai and said, "What are you explaining so much for? Could it be that sister Dani still doesn't welcome me? I'm a new wife, and I've been getting in like this all along."

The new daughter-in-law of the Zheng family is really strong in character.

An Xu said, "Welcome, please sit down."

There are tables and chairs in the yard, even though he said so, An Xu didn't intend to come forward to entertain him at all.

Aunt Qiu was not rude, poured two cups of tea and brought them over.

Seeing the teacup, Jin Yu was surprised and said: "Your family is really particular, and there are teacups, and only my father has one in my family. Sister Dani, I heard a lot about you yesterday."

"Oh, what do you belong to? Should I call you sister?" Jin Yu looked rude as she said.

An Xu said with a smile: "I belong to the dragon, so don't call me sister, sister, or sister. If you call someone who is not related by blood, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

You're welcome, don't blame me for being rude.

An Xu didn't feel that he had offended the Zheng family's new daughter-in-law.

Jin Yu's face was pulled down, but the people from An's side didn't show any intention of coming out to cheer up the atmosphere, Zheng Huai said: "It's getting late, let's go back."

Jin Yu stood up, feeling more and more embarrassed. She is a new wife, and she has no face. Is this how people in the An family disregard the friendship of neighbors?

"Yesterday, my sister fell and the person who walked away after being able to help her, I heard that he lived in your house?" She didn't leave, but looked at An Xu and asked.

An Xu was confused, but she understood a little bit, dare she come to find a place for her sister?

An Chong whispered to his sister what happened yesterday, and An Xu felt that it was unreasonable for the Zheng family to be happy.

Zong Che has been honestly reading in the house since yesterday, not caring about what happened outside, but now he put down his book and came out, saying: "I want to clarify this, I am a young man, in order to avoid gossip, I am not suitable to help A young woman. You have to come here to ask for an explanation, Zheng Huai, is this how you control your daughter-in-law?"

Zheng Huai was called out, with an embarrassed expression on his face, he pulled Jin Yu and said, "Stop talking about this, go home."

Seeing that everyone at home was looking at him, Zong Che nodded, turned around and went back to his room to pick up the book and continue reading.

It took a while for Mrs. Rong to say: "No wonder people say that the literati are the most quarrelsome. They all beat snakes and seven inches."

Mother Qiu said with a smile: "Young Master Zong is a caretaker, and he doesn't have the pretensions of ordinary scholars."

An Xu received the New Year's gift today, and remembered something, walked into the room and asked, "Do you need to give Mr. Gu a New Year's gift?"

Zong Che raised his head and said: "There is nothing that can be sold at the moment. I have written two articles and will send them to the capital at Maliuyi tomorrow."

If An Xu were that teacher, she would really want to hit this student, and you don't let the teacher rest during the holidays, do you?

"Then wait a little longer, I'll make some snacks and bring them to Mr. Gu."

Zong Che nodded, "Okay. Mister will definitely like it."

On the other side, after Zheng Huai pulled Jin Yu out of An's house, Jin Yu shook off Zheng Huai's hand forcefully and glared at him angrily: "Is there anyone like you? Seeing your wife being bullied, you can't even say a word." Don't say it. I'm just a new daughter-in-law, I have more face than a girl."

Zheng Huai didn't like Jin Yu's domineering personality very much after getting in touch with Jin Yu long after his Dading, but at that time, the family had already offered 20 taels of dowry, and he couldn't let the family's savings of more than ten years not be repaid. When I came back, I could only persuade myself to be patient.

Unexpectedly, within two days of her marriage, Jin Yu would not hide her true nature at all.

"You are the one who speaks first, you are welcome." Zheng Huai said in a straightforward tone.

Jin Yu looked at Zheng Huai in disbelief, then sneered and said, "Okay, okay, you really told the truth. But in the end, it's my fault, or you want to protect your sweetheart."

Her voice was not low, and she startled the children playing in the distance to look over.

Zheng Huai hurriedly teased her: "What are you doing? You are easy to bully when you think of An's family. How did the three great mothers get beaten up yesterday? The Liu family didn't dare to say a word. You are my wife. If you say such things again, do you believe An's family? People could directly rush to our house and smash it."

Jin Yu sneered even worse, and tears rolled down his eyes, "I really am worthless in your heart."

Then ran away wiping tears.

In the evening, An Xu knew about the dispute between Zheng Huai and his wife, and it was a daughter-in-law of An's family who came to report the news. According to seniority, An Xu should call her aunt.

The aunt Balabala talked for a long time, and seeing that she was not angry at all, she took the initiative to say: "I didn't smear black people like that, should we go to Zheng's house for an explanation?"

An Xu hurriedly said: "No need, Auntie, it's not a big deal at first, but it will affect me even more if it happens."

The aunt smiled and said: "No, I didn't think about it. Dani, you are right, we won't quarrel with the Zheng family, but if their daughters-in-law are so ignorant in the future, we won't let it go. "

Then gossip for a while before leaving.

Not long after this aunt left, Mrs. Fang came again, carrying a basket of fried dough twist in her hand, the kind of twisted twist that was half the length of a child's arm.

Sitting under the kitchen shed, Aunt Fang saw the basket of twists waiting to be fried on the stove, and said with a smile: "If I knew it earlier, I would have brought it to you in the morning, so I wouldn't have to do it again."

An Xu's Mahua is made with a mixing bucket and the noodles. It is also wrapped with yogurt stuffing made of Anjia's camel milk, and wrapped with a layer of bread crumbs. Zi and Mrs. Fang's are not the same variety.

Aunt Fang saw it before she finished speaking, and said with a smile: "But you must have done something newer than mine."

An Xu: "I only have some different ideas."

The reputation has been branded out, so I have to admit it first.She has a lot of things to do in the future, so she can't think of an excuse to explain everything.

Aunt Fang said: "You have to be clever in everything you do. My son, brother Hanhai, even said it when he came home. There are many skilled craftsmen in the metropolises outside. One of them is famous for making tinware." Yes, some are famous for making pottery, and some are famous for making goldware. For the same things, the craftsmen next to them are not as good. It is said that the most famous pottery maker is Shi Dajiang from Nanyang Prefecture. People from far away go to court He buys pottery, and a pottery vase costs one or two thousand dollars."

It was the first time An Xu heard about this topic, and he was very interested.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Fang changed the subject and said, "Brother Hanhai said, you are better than those skillful craftsmen now. They just perfected a skill, but you are really improving your cooking skills." gone."

An Xu: I dare not wear such a high hat.

"By the way, auntie, didn't you say you wanted a business solution? I really figured out a snack two days ago. When you are free, come and try it. If you are interested, I will give it to you."

In fact, Aunt Fang came here today for this matter. Her son offended the steward of the mansion, and was kicked out a month ago with an excuse.

Among those people in the village, his son has always been the best. Now he feels ashamed and doesn't want to come back. The mothers in Aunt Fang's family have also saved a lot of money.

The two of them discussed it, and they wanted to buy a snack recipe from Da Nier, and then go to Xuejiaji to rent a shop to open a shop.

Hearing this, she was very grateful, thanked her again and again, and said that she would come when she was free, and Aunt Fang left.
