Chapter 12 White as Snow Sugar
Yuan Baoshu ran to the county town every day for the past two days, and every time she came back, she packed big and small bags. Everyone in the village saw it, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

When Yuan Baoshu came back this time, before she entered the house, a villager stopped her, "Baoshu, why are you going to the county town to buy things every day these days? It doesn't look like you're passing by. Is it your sister-in-law? Greedy again?"

"You shouldn't be used to her. Which daughter-in-law is as greedy and lazy as her?"

The eyes of the villagers fell on the fabrics of Yuan Baoshu's basket, and they couldn't help but gasp.Their family is usually very happy to have cotton clothes to wear during the New Year, but this Su Yueling is even wearing silk and satin?Where did she get the money?Do you really think you are the daughter of a wealthy family in the county seat?
Yuan Baoshu was a little annoyed, she was always good-natured, she couldn't help but snap back, "My sister-in-law is rich, she is free to buy and eat whatever she wants."

"It's not that she doesn't do things at home. She also taught me to cook several dishes that I have never eaten before. After I went to the city these two days, I even sold those recipes to big restaurants in the county. The shopkeeper is willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. come down."

The other villagers stared wide-eyed. In their eyes, the people in the county town are more knowledgeable than the villagers like them, and the big restaurants in the city are people who have seen all kinds of worlds.It turned out that they were willing to spend money on Su Yueling's recipes.

Could it be that Su Yueling is also good at cooking?
No one suspects that Yuan Baoshu is lying. There are only two hundred families in this village. Everyone has watched Yuan Baoshu grow up and knows that she is not a liar.

Mrs. Zhao Qian, who had eaten Dongpo meat, happened to pass by. When he heard this, he said directly: "I believe this! That Dongpo meat is so delicious that I can swallow it with my tongue. I have never eaten it so good." Meat to eat! The shopkeeper of the restaurant has a good eye."

Zhao Qian said so, and the others believed it even more.

It's just that some people still can't understand Su Yueling's approach, "Even if she earned the money, she has already married into your Yuan family, so you shouldn't waste money. It's true to save money and buy land."

Naturally, Yuan Baoshu would not be so stupid as to say how much her sister-in-law sold because of Fang Zi. She just said, "Making money is a man's business. With my two older brothers around, how can I have the idea of ​​a woman's dowry."

This recipe is equivalent to the dowry brought by my sister-in-law, so the money I earn is also equivalent to the dowry.

Zhao Qian gave the others a blank look, "Why do you care so much? Even if people eat meat and wear new clothes, they don't use your family's money?"

Yuan Baoshu gave Zhao Qian a grateful look, and hurried home with her things.

She still has to hurry up and make clothes for her sister-in-law later, even if it is the simplest clothes to cut, it will probably be dark before she can do it.Her time was not to be wasted.

Seeing Yuan Baoshu leaving in a hurry, the others felt puzzled.

What's the matter with Yuan Baoshu, it's really strange that Su Yueling treats her so harshly, yet she still concentrates on talking to her.

……

Of the cakes that Yuan Baoshu brought back, Su Yueling ate only one piece of each, except for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which ate two more pieces.The sweet-scented osmanthus cake tasted pretty good, full of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, glutinous and delicious, sweet but not greasy.

Su Yueling was very used to Yuan Baoshu taking the initiative to buy her snacks with her own money, after all, she had always been the focus of everyone's service.Treating her well is what she should do.

Yuan Baoshu saw that her sister-in-law didn't eat much and put it aside, she was used to it.

The sister-in-law can also eat the leftovers.

She also tasted each of them, put the rest in the cabinet, and then took a measuring ruler to measure the size of Su Yueling's body, and wrote down every detailed number.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sister-in-law, I see that you have been asking me to buy brown sugar for the past few days, but you don't seem to like it when you buy it."

Su Yueling tilted her head and said, "I'll tell you about it after you finish the clothes I'll wear tomorrow."

Yuan Baoshu was extremely curious, but she obediently went to make clothes.

She first took the bright blue satin embroidered with camellias and started cutting.Yuan Baoshu has some talent in needlework, and her mother who passed away was the best embroiderer in the village, so although she is not very old, the level of this female celebrity is also the first in the village.

Since she was seven years old, she sewed the clothes of her two brothers.

She stroked the silk lightly with her hands. The silk felt so good that it must be very comfortable to wear.When she has saved enough money, she will also go to buy a red silk.

In the absence of embroidery, the clothes were made very quickly, and Yuan Baoshu finished them before dark.

She consciously washed the newly cut clothes and hung them in the living room. It would be bad if the chickens accidentally flew over and got dust in the yard.Anyway, in the current weather, the clothes can be dried in one night in the living room.

Afterwards, she quickly grabbed another chicken and started to make stewed chicken to eat. Then she exchanged an egg with a neighbor for a handful of vegetables and finished the dinner.

After dinner was finished and the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned, Yuan Baoshu looked at Su Yueling anxiously, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to do with buying so much brown sugar?"

Su Yueling tilted her head, "Go outside and dig some yellow mud and find some straw and come back to clean them. I remember there are earthen pots and funnels in the kitchen? If not, borrow them."

In the past few days, Su Yueling has already established a stalwart image in Yuan Baoshu's heart because of those few recipes. Although she doesn't understand why she wants yellow mud, Yuan Baoshu obediently digs it, and she even chooses the one that no one has stepped on. That piece of yellow mud.Straw is also something that can be seen everywhere, and you can grab a lot of it if you grab it casually.As for crocks and funnels, I have them at home and don't need to borrow them.

When she came back from digging, her clothes were inevitably stained with mud.Yuan Baoshu didn't care, she just changed it tonight and washed it clean.

Su Yueling sat on a chair, and there was a cushion that Yuan Baoshu made for her in her spare time. Seeing that she was not sitting comfortably, Yuan Baoshu adjusted the position of the cushion for her.

Su Yueling said: "First block the opening below the funnel with straw, and put the brown sugar into the funnel."

Yuan Baoshu obeyed obediently, "And then?"

"Put the funnel in the crock, and pour the yellow muddy water over the sugar."

Yuan Baoshu looked at Su Yueling in surprise, "But wouldn't the candy be dirty like this?"

Su Yueling snorted, "Listen to me, you are right."

Yuan Baoshu hesitated for a moment, then looked into the funnel, there was almost half a catty of brown sugar in it.If it's really dirty and can't be eaten, then she will wash it a few more times.

She took a deep breath and drenched the yellow muddy water.

What shocked her was that the candy that had been drenched in yellow muddy water looked much whiter than before.

Yuan Baoshu blinked in surprise, her sister-in-law's words echoed in her ears, "Continue to shower."

"Oh." As if waking up from a dream, she scooped up another spoonful of yellow muddy water.

Spoon after spoon, repeat this action again and again.

After a stick of incense, looking at the sugar as white as snow, Yuan Baoshu seemed to be in a dream.
