Chapter 131 Mung Bean Cake, Borrowing Charcoal

The mung bean cake on the plate was half the size of Rui Ge'er's little hand, but it was heavy to hold. With this weight, Xia Huai was quite satisfied with the mung bean cake.

After all, in her only impression of eating pastry, the heavier the pastry, the better it is.At least in modern times, the heavy pastries she eats are delicious!

When she pinched it to her mouth, she smelled a clear mung bean fragrance.

In ancient times, there were no miscellaneous additives. At most, you could stuff more food into the pastry, but with the concentration of this taste, it is obvious that Fulingzhai did not cut corners.

Also, if you cut corners, no matter how famous the store is, it will become stinky, right?

Xia Huai took a bite lightly, the aroma of mung beans was still in the mouth, the sweetness was average, and it would not make people feel greasy.

It's really good.

As soon as this idea appeared in her mind, Xia Huai found that Rui Ge'er's little claws had reached out to the plate again. She wanted to stop it, but thinking that Rui Ge'er hadn't eaten pastry for a long time, it was Aunt Zhu who brought it out anyway. Auntie is not the kind of person who cares about face, since it's brought out, it's okay to finish eating.

Of course, it's better not to finish eating, it's not good-looking.

Thinking of this, Xia Huai broke off half of the pastry in her hand, and handed the intact half to Rui Geer: "Rui Geer, mother can't finish it, help mother eat."

If she gave it to Rui Ge'er directly, Rui Ge'er specifically refused to agree, but when she said so, Rui Ge'er would not doubt it, and immediately gave up getting the new one, and went to pick up the piece that Xia Huai handed him.

"Oh, it's for you to eat, Xiao Huai, eat more!" Aunt Zhu couldn't refuse, and immediately stuffed another piece for Xia Huai.

Xia Huai couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't refuse.

After all, she hated the routine of pushing and pushing. At worst, she would bring some delicious food to Aunt Zhu in the future.

After quickly finishing the pastry in her hand, Xia Huai quickly pointed out: "Aunt Zhu, my mother came to see you before, right? I want to buy a basket of vegetables."

Aunt Zhu nodded: "Yes, I did say this. If you want me to tell you what else to buy, there are so many vegetables in my vegetable field that you can't finish them, so you just pick them!"

Xia Huai shook her head: "It's impossible, if it's just one time, it's fine, but what if we all come to pick it in the future?"

Aunt Zhu paused, this really stopped her.If it takes two or three times, she can still accept it. If she picks it all day, I'm afraid there won't be enough for her family!

Xia Huai had been sizing up Aunt Zhu, and said with a slight smile, "So, just as my mother said, five cents a basket."

She took out the money she had counted in advance and handed it to Aunt Zhu: "If you say it is because we made money, let's go, I will pick it back without delaying Auntie's cooking."

The vegetable field of Aunt Zhu's house is in the backyard, and as far as the eye can see, it is lush green.

She picked up a basket of familiar radishes and cabbages, and it wasn't too much, although according to her ability, she could at least stack the basket one level higher.

But this is going too far.

"Auntie, let's go back first." Xia Huai was carrying the basket, and holding Rui Ge'er's hand with the other.

"Okay, come to my house to play some other day. When my grandson comes back, let Brother Rui come and play!"

"okay!"

When we got back to the place, the smell of the stewed meat had already come out, and the dough was rising quickly in hot weather. At this moment, Zhou Huiniang and Liu Qingyun were kneading the dough with Wang Shuyu, and were about to start making sesame seed cakes.

"Xiaohuai is back?" Zhou Huiniang wiped her hands quickly, trotted over, and took the basket from the girl's hand: "Huai'er, what do you do with that pot? Do you put it directly on the fire? But I don't think I can let it go. Go up, will it fall?"

"Mother, don't worry." She called Shitou: "Shitou, run to the village and ask who has charcoal!"

Shitou was stunned: "Charcoal? Why use that, isn't firewood okay?"

"It's not very convenient. I don't have any preparations today. I can buy some later." Before Xia Huai finished speaking, Liu Qingyun yelled, "What?! Buying charcoal? It's so expensive, how can I afford it?" Yo!"

That's right, charcoal was always expensive in ancient times. Although this dynasty was a myth, the price was not so outrageous, but as far as she knew, the most common charcoal was sold for more than ten or twenty yuan a catty, which was comparable to the price of pork!

Besides, the amount of charcoal used is quite large, maybe I have to take the remaining method.
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, let's talk about the future, let's focus on the present first," Xia Huai said, winking at Shitou.

The stone man was as tall as a ghost, so he ran away immediately, and he was also smart, so he ran directly to the village head's house.

In his opinion, if the village chief's family doesn't have such a good thing, then no one else will have it!
When the stone passed by, the village chief's house was eating, and the door was opened by a strange woman, who seemed to be in her early fifties: "Who are you?"

Shitou greeted with a smile: "I'm here to find Village Chief Lin!"

Lin Hai heard the sound and came from the yard with a bowl in his hand: "Who is it? It's you. What's wrong?"

The person who opened the door was Lin Shi, wife of the village chief. She opened the door wide and invited the stone into the yard.

"That's right, I would like to ask if you have any charcoal at home, we would like to borrow some"

Lin Hai was surprised, but didn't show it on his face: "Charcoal? It's really a little bit, but it's been left for a long time, I don't know if it can still be used. Why do you want charcoal?"

Shitou chuckled, scratched his head and said, "That must be cooking!"

Lin Hai shook his head secretly in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Xing Lin Zhi, send over the half bag of charcoal in the stove."

Although Shitou is small, he is not stupid, he quickly waved his hands: "It doesn't need so many."

Lin Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, it's useless to leave it at home anyway, so take it all!"

The stone couldn't refuse, so he simply ignored it, anyway, I still have to support the sky falling!If it doesn't work, then there is sister Xia Huai!

In Shitou's eyes, no one is as powerful as Xia Huai, he trusts Xia Huai unconditionally!
Lin Zhi was in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but he looked a little like Lin's temperament, not very talkative.

There is a round wooden table in the middle of the yard. There are two children on the table. A boy is about seven or eight years old, and a girl is four or five years old. noodles.Beside the girl was a woman under 30 years old, with a distressed and sallow complexion on her face.

There is also a woman sitting beside the boy, but this woman looks older than the previous one, but looks much younger on the face.

Shitou looked at the food on the table in bewilderment. There were no meat dishes, but there was a plate of boiled eggs, and each person's bowl was mixed noodle soup.In addition to these, there is also a plate of fried vegetables. I can't tell what it is, but at least it is fried with oil.

The food is not bad, but why does that woman look sick?

Unable to figure it out, Shi Shi didn't think much about it, after all, he was only here to borrow charcoal.
