Farmer's clever woman busy farming

Chapter 245 The Dowry
The sauced pig's trotters in the pot were ready, Gu Jiujiu thought that Shen Kuo hadn't eaten this before, so she cut a piece with a knife and brought it to his lips, "Try it, it's delicious."

Shen Kuo looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile, opened his lips and ate the sauced pig's trotter in her hand.

Feeling his lips and tongue brushing against her fingertips, knowing that he did it on purpose, Gu Jiujiu immediately blushed and took her hand back.

Over the course of the morning, Gu Jiujiu and Shen Kuo made almost [-] sauced pig's trotters.

At noon, Gu Jiujiu didn't cook, but scooped flour out of the rice jar and baked half a pan of noodles.

After the noodle cakes were made, half a pot of broth was boiled, and the sauced pig's trotters were cut into two and placed in a porcelain bowl, Gu Jiujiu and Shen Kuo sat down to eat together.

The noodle cakes Gu Jiujiu baked were thin, soft and delicious. Both she and Shen Kuo ate several pieces.

After a simple meal, Gu Jiujiu was about to clear the table and wash the dishes when Yan Shi and Sister Yuan walked in from the door.

"Mother, why did you come back so soon?" Gu Jiujiu looked at Yan Shi and Sister Yuan, with obvious puzzlement flashing across his face.

"Originally, I planned to wait until that man picked up your sister-in-law, and then Sister Yuan and I would come back." Yan Shi looked at Gu Jiujiu, "It's just that your grandma kept us for dinner, thinking that your sister-in-law is getting married today, you It's not easy for us to leave, so my sister Yuan and I stayed and ate before leaving."

As soon as Sister Yuan walked into the kitchen, she saw that there were not only noodle cakes but also broth and sauced pig's trotters on the table, the little guy swallowed, and stretched out his little hand to take a piece of noodle cake to eat.

Seeing the gluttonous look on Sister Yuan's face, Gu Jiujiu couldn't help but frowned and looked at Yan Shi, "Mother, didn't Sister Yuan have enough to eat in the old house?"

"Don't mention it." Yan Shi glanced at Gu Jiujiu, "The old house opened five tables at noon today, and every table was full of people. Your uncles and aunts are very good at eating food. There wasn't much food on the table, but as soon as it came to the table, all the meat and meat on the plate were eaten up, and the remaining vegetarian dishes were also eaten up quickly, let alone sister Yuan, I was not full either."

"Really?" After Yan finished speaking, Gu Jiujiu said: "In this case, you can eat some more at home. The broth and sauced pig's trotters are hot, and there are still a lot of noodles left. So There are many things, enough for you and Sister Yuan to eat."

"Mother is also planning to eat some more." Yan Shi sat down beside the table while talking.

After watching Yan Shi sit down, Gu Jiujiu went to the stove and brought clean chopsticks and porcelain bowls for them.

Yan Shi and Sister Yuan ate up the few pieces of noodle cakes left on the table, and drank less than half a bowl of soup, so they were full.

In the afternoon, Shen Kuo said he had something to go to the market, changed into a clean robe and went out.

Yan Shi cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and saw that half of the pig's trotters were left uncooked in the kitchen, so she continued to make sauced pig's trotters with Gu Jiujiu.

While lighting the fire, Yan looked at Gu Jiujiu and said, "Xiao Jiu, your sister-in-law is getting married today, not only did your father not spend a copper coin for her dowry, he didn't even prepare a red dress for her. You Naiyuan was planning to go to the market to pull a bolt of red coarse cloth to make clothes for your aunt, but your father held all the money at home, and your grandma wanted to make it for your aunt, but she didn’t have the money to buy it. Today, the one she is wearing was made by your grandma for her during the Chinese New Year."
