Chapter 6 6. Baozi’s debut
  Pomegranate came out of the house and found that no adults or children were at home. She looked at the time and it was time to cook. Thinking of the steamed buns she had just learned, she planned to give it a try.

Su Sanlan only had the key to the kitchen, and Shiliu had a spare one for her to use for extra meals. In fact, there was not much food in the kitchen, only about 2 pounds of cornmeal, a basket of purslane and 10 eggs. It was a poverty that was visible to the naked eye.

Pomegranate's eyes started to heat up when she thought of the meat buns she had eaten for lunch. At this moment, she really recognized the Lao Shi family. Regardless of whether her sisters-in-law were happy with it or not, the result was that she ate well and drank well, and she had to accept this sentiment. Shiliu felt that she needed to take time to go to the county and sign in at the grain station. Otherwise, no matter how good she was at making steamed buns, it would be hard for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice.

In the end, the pomegranate could only be wrapped with a layer of white flour outside the cornmeal dough. Fortunately, the seasonings at home were quite complete, otherwise the buns would have been impossible to make.

The people of Lao Shi's family could smell the fragrance of their home from a distance, and everyone was wondering who came back to cook the food today. Why did it smell so good?

When everyone saw the pomegranate coming out of the kitchen, they were all shocked. This was made by their eldest sister/daughter who had never cooked before?

Su Sanlan was the first to react: "Oh, you are indeed my daughter. Sui mother, this is such a skillful move——"

My mother's melodious tune made me think that she had won the first prize in the examination. She puckered her lips in embarrassment. It seemed that she still needed to get used to it: "Mom, please try the steamed buns I made." "This is my first time cooking. My wrists are sore from being tired." She is not lying. You have to know that she has been making buns for five days in the teaching space. Is her wrist not sore? .

Su Sanlan's tears flowed down: "Mom, pomegranate, why are you so sensible? If mom doesn't eat steamed buns, we won't do it anymore."

The eldest brother Shi Chun is the most honest in the family. When his sister said that her wrist hurt, he immediately felt distressed: "Sister, let your sister-in-law do the job of kneading the dough. Anyway, your sister-in-law is used to manual labor and can't knead the dough." Question. From now on, you can call your sister-in-law around, but don’t tire yourself out."

Sister-in-law Liu Guihua had a dead face and sneered twice in her heart. The man in her family was usually quite normal, but when it came to her sister, she turned into a fool. Listen to what nonsense she just said, and she Why did I think that this man would love his wife as much as he loved his sister?

Shiliu looked at her sister-in-law's condensed face and secretly felt guilty. She really didn't have this intention. After all, the person she picked was her third brother Shi Qiu.

The third child, Shi Qiu, shivered violently. He always felt that he was going to be in bad luck. Some bastard was targeting him.

Pomegranate looked at the buns in the cage, carefully selected one with the best appearance and handed it to Su Sanlan: "Mom, try it quickly. If you like it, my daughter will make it next time." She turned to her sister-in-law and the others and said, "Sister-in-law. Take all the buns out."

Su Sanlan took a big bite, chewed carefully, and her eyes flashed brightly. Her daughter really looked like her. It was very delicious when she cooked for the first time, but her second sister rushed to drink up all the soup at the bottom of the pot. . Fortunately, these thoughts were not heard by Su Shuanglan, otherwise she would have scolded Su Sanlan. If some people hadn't shamelessly eaten up all her food, she would have eaten the mushy food she cooked. Pot soup.

After taking two bites, Su Sanlan saw the whole family staring at the buns on the table and swallowing their saliva. A flash of disgust flashed in her eyes. She shared a bun with each person, and then gave an extra bun to the family worker: "Everyone is hungry. You damn ghosts, hurry up and eat them. Boss, you guys who are brothers should remember your elder sister’s kindness after eating the buns. If it weren’t for Pomegranate’s hard work in making the buns, where would you and two of you go to eat such delicious buns? .”

Boss Shi Chun: "Thanks to my sister, the buns made by your sister-in-law are like pig food."

The second child Shi Xia: "Thanks to my eldest sister, the buns made by your second sister-in-law are like pig food." The third child Shi Qiu: "Thanks to my eldest sister, the buns made by your third sister-in-law are like pig food."

Shi Dong, the fourth child: "Thanks to my eldest sister, the buns made by my mother are like pig food."

Su Sanlan: "Fourth, what are you talking about, you little bastard!"

The fourth child, Shi Dong, was so frightened that he repeatedly complained: "Mom, I was wrong. I wanted to talk about the pig food made by my sisters-in-law."

Sister-in-law Liu Guihua, second sister-in-law Ding Lanhua, and third sister-in-law Ma Cuihua: "..." What evil did they commit in their previous lives?

Pomegranate was very embarrassed to be praised, so she could only think of ways to treat her three sisters-in-law better in the future. In fact, although her three brothers were very proud, none of them beat or scolded their daughter-in-law. Compared with other wives in the village, although the sister-in-law was firmly suppressed by her, they still lived a pretty good life.

Originally, the three sisters-in-law were very angry at their men's words, but after taking one bite of the buns, they suddenly realized that their men really weren't talking nonsense this time. Compared with the buns made by their eldest sister, what they were making was just pig food. Tsk, I don't know. If the eldest sister will do it again in the future, this is such a skill.

The third sister-in-law is worthy of being married to the third brother, and she also loves to eat: "Sister, are we running out of purslane at home? After the third sister-in-law gets off work, she will go to the back mountain to dig some."

Su Sanlan knew that this daughter-in-law was just for a bite to eat, but there was not much food at home, so she really needed to dig more wild vegetables: "Tomorrow, I will dig more with my brothers and sisters on the first lunar month. I'm looking at Xuan this year. Don't talk to me anymore." It’s like saving money.”

Shi Dong ran outside all day and heard more things: "Mom, should we use our family's money to buy some food? I'm worried that if there is a drought and food prices rise, our family will not be able to buy it with this little money. How much food is there?" He was extremely lucky that his three sisters-in-law had not given birth to each other in the past two years, otherwise he would not have known how many more mouths there would be in the family, and he would have married later.

Su Sanlan has been in charge of the family since her husband's death, and she still has a sense of crisis, so she agreed without Shi Dong's much persuasion.

A sense of crisis also arose in Pomegranate's heart, and the trip to the grain store was inevitable, but now she was even more curious about the golden sign-in place deep in the back mountain.

Su Sanlan didn't expect her daughter to suddenly ask about this matter. She just thought her daughter was curious for a moment: "That deep mountain is a treasure place, but few people come out after entering, and most of the people who come out are even crazy. They were shouting about 'there's a ghost' and so on, but it was very evil."

"Since there is so much evil deep in the back mountain, how can it be said to be a treasure place?" This was the first time Shiliu heard about this.

"Because everyone who comes out intact will get rich. It is said that there is a hundred-year-old ginseng in it. A hundred-year-old ginseng is a treasure. One piece is enough for a family to chew for many years." What Su Sanlan did not say was that her father was the lucky one, otherwise How could her eldest brother have the money to send her eldest brother to a private school based on her family's eight generations of poor peasant background? After the founding of the Lan Yu Kingdom, the eldest brother got a job in a supply and marketing cooperative after attending school for a few days.
