Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 155
Chapter 160 Eight Robbery Gifts
Jinrou has been standing behind the pot to observe and study, and occasionally goes to wait on the hard fire in the stove. The two sisters cooperate very well. In the dining hall next door, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Dahu, brother-in-law, are talking about the rise of the situation. Sun occasionally comes over Taking a look at the kitchen room, Jin Rou gently pushed her back before entering the kitchen door.

When the people in the village couldn't stand the heat and ran home one after another, it was not yet noon, but Jin Xi's family had already prepared lunch.

Liang Yuzhong brought the half jar of ice wine, Jin Rou set the scalded bowls and chopsticks, and then Jin Xi used a large tray to bring the dishes to the table all at once.

Although the big guys have already experienced Jin Xi's cooking skills, but this time, they were still surprised.

"Xi'er Rou'er, no wonder you two don't want your mother to go into the kitchen to see, so there is a surprise for us! Your fried eggs are so beautiful, Huang Cuicui's, peppers and eggs can also be fried like this?" Sun Looking at the colorful and fragrant dishes on the table, I couldn't help but praise.

Sun Shi and Sun Yuxia usually use a lot of chili to fry the chili scrambled eggs, first fry the chili, and then sprinkle the egg liquid on the chili.This frying method is a test of the skill of the person in charge of the spoon.If it is not well handled, it will not only burn the pot, but also have a fishy smell of eggs.

Sun Yuxia sometimes scrambled eggs by frying the eggs first, then pushing in the peppers and frying them twice. In this case, the eggs would be old when the peppers were not fully cooked. Put the good egg pieces out of the pan, then put oil in the pan to fry the peppers, and add the eggs when the peppers are almost fried.In Jinxi's opinion, this method is a bit wasteful of oil and firework, and the chili and eggs are basically mixed together just before they come out of the pot. There is not enough time for them to break in and absorb each other's taste to perfect themselves. This way of frying is not very good.

Jin Xi then came up with a good compromise, which was to chop the chilli into finely-divided froth and mix it into the egg liquid. This frying method is easy to cook and won't smell fishy because there are few minced peppers. If it is too spicy, heat the oil in the pan, and you can fry chili omelets like leek omelets.

"Xi'er, are you famous for your scrambled eggs?" Sun Dahu asked Jinxi with a smile, compared to Sun's astonishment, Sun Dahu was calmer.Because for the past six months, he and Jinxi have been managing Qian Lixiang's breakfast shop together. Most of the special noodle dishes in the shop are created by Jinxi. A piece of flair is taken for granted.

"Uncle, my sister said that the eggs she made are called emerald eggs." Jinrou was very excited to speak for Jinxi, then pointed to other dishes on the table, and introduced them as if offering treasures: "The one next to the emerald eggs is stir-fried small Shredded pumpkin, that’s Qianlixiang twice-cooked pork, the one that is still bubbling is fish-flavored eggplant pot, and the one that is sprinkled with chopped green onion is fragrant wild mushroom egg custard.”

Twice-cooked pork is crystal clear, the sides are slightly rolled up, and the meat oil has been fried out. It is oily but not greasy. It can whet people's appetite just by looking at it.The eggplant pot is fragrant and spicy, covered with a layer of white jade-like stuff, which is crushed garlic, just smelling it will make people move their index fingers.

Stir-fried pumpkin shreds and emerald eggs are refreshing and delicious, and eye-catching for viewing. Wild mushroom egg custard is light, moist, and extremely nutritious. It can be said that the people present are all authentic farmers, and the dishes made by Jinxi are also authentic. Everyone was more and more impressed with Jin Xi's cooking skills and skillful hands.

As soon as the sound of Jinrou's side fell, Jinxi brought over fresh white rice from the next door, and a large bowl of glutinous rice dumpling, wrapped with black sesame seeds and poured with hot sesame oil.In addition, Jin Xi also cut half a watermelon, sat in the well water and chilled it, and after lunch everyone would eat it to cool off the heat.

"I have to go to town this afternoon and bring back some vegetables, or we will run out of food tomorrow!" Jin Xi smiled and put rice and black sesame glutinous rice dumplings on the table.Sun picked up a handkerchief and wiped Jinxi's sweat, then gave Jinxi a few sips of warm tea, and pulled Jinxi to sit by her side.

"Xi'er, then go to town with my uncle and me in the afternoon, and I'll take you back when you've finished shopping!" Sun Dahu said.

"Well, that's a good thing! Uncle, Dad, you two should eat vegetables and drink ice wine first, and I'll serve you dinner later." Jin Xi laughed.

"Dahu, we are all from our own family, so we don't need to say too many polite words. We can only fill our daily meals and wine!" Liang Yuzhong said with a laugh.

Sun Dahu was not restrained at all, the big guys sat around the table, and the two men started to exchange glasses.

Jin Xi picked up the bowl in front of Sun, scooped a bowl of wild mushroom egg soup for her first, and said, "Mother, you are pregnant with your third and fourth child, and you sweat more than us, you need to drink more soup."

After lunch, everyone took a short rest, and when the sun was at its worst at noon, Sun Dahu proposed to come over while he was there, and just planted the saplings in one go, and there were not many left anyway.So, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Dahu spent another hour or so to plant all the oxcart saplings that Sun Dahu brought into the soil.

After dealing with all this, Liang Yuzhong also drove out the ox cart, and Jin Xi got into the ox cart and followed Sun Dahu's ox cart, and the two cars drove towards Changqiao Town one after the other.

Jin Xi stayed in the shops on both sides for a while, and then went to the market to buy some vegetables, rice, melons and fruits. When the sun was overcast, she followed Liang Yuzhong back to Jinji Mountain Village.

Jin Xi and the big guys have discussed that they will only stay in the shop in the town when the weather is extremely bad. Usually, Jin Xi and Liang Yuzhong will come early and return late every day, running back and forth between the town and Jinjishan Village.Speaking of running around every day, they are naturally inseparable from their means of transportation.Sun Dahu's family, Sun Yubao's family, and Jinxi's family, at first only Sun Dahu's family had an ox cart, and later Wending loosened a carriage, and sometimes it was inconvenient to go out of the mountains, so he borrowed an ox cart from a family in Sunjiagou. In the end, Liang Yuzhong simply paid for the family's ox cart.

Thus, there is Jinxi and the others' current travel tools.

Back at Jinjishan Village, it was already dusk and towards the west, and the hot day passed in such a busy way. The next day, the father and daughter were so busy and fulfilled, going out early and returning late. Sun and Jinrou stayed at home, and the days went like this Day after day, it was warm and fulfilling, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the seventh lunar month.

In the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi came back under the sunset. From a distance, they saw a few small figures playing at the gate of their own compound under the official road. Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled. It's the little friends in Jinrou's village.

Jinrou saw the ox cart turned off the official road, left her little friend behind and ran towards Jinxi happily, saying: "Sister, Brother Li Sheng came to pass the message in the afternoon, saying that the Lord told our family not to light a fire at noon tomorrow. Go over there for lunch."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Jin Xi raised her eyebrows and asked.

Jinrou shook her head: "I have to ask my mother." After finishing speaking, she was called over by her group of friends again.

Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi entered the courtyard, Jin Xi jumped off the bullock cart and ran into Mrs. Sun in the inner courtyard, and asked about it.

"Oh, that's the matter, no, that child of the Hong family will be washed in the Nine Dynasties tomorrow." Sun said.

Jin Xi suddenly realized that, according to the customs in this area, the newly born baby would be invited to the Ga Po's family for three courts, but because the Hong family lost blood when the child was born and was weak and couldn't bear the noise, the three courts were saved. So at this moment, I will directly wash the Nine Dynasties.

The baby washes the Nine Dynasties, Gapo's family takes the lead, and other relatives and friends also want to come to congratulate.

"Grandpa probably saw that my father and I went to the shop early and returned late every day. Mother, you stayed at home all day when you were pregnant, and didn't go there all day. He was worried that we might make mistakes, so he sent the second brother over to let us know." Let me know." Jin Xi said, and while speaking, the two moved to the wing.

"We are all relatives. Our family will definitely go to congratulate your sister-in-law on giving birth to a baby." Sun said: "When I entered the new house a few days ago, I put all the congratulatory gifts at the bottom of the cabinet. Look back and pick some out to give to the Hong family as congratulatory gifts."

Jin Xi took the wrung warm water handkerchief from Sun, wiped her face, hung it on the washbasin, and nodded.

"Mother, Lord told us to go with our whole family tomorrow, do we really have to go with our whole family?" Jin Rou ran in from the outside, saw Sun and Jin Xi were preparing gifts, and asked.

Jin Xi was burying her head in counting the eggs, Sun gave Jinrou a gentle smile, and said, "Your master is just saying politely, it's almost enough to go to one or two people to send your heart."

"Sister, now you are in charge of our family's major and minor matters. Who do you say will go to our family tomorrow?" Jin Rou asked.

After counting the twenty eggs, Jin Xi took two long cakes, two packets of rice noodles, two packets of wheat noodles, two packets of brown sugar, and one packet of red dates from Sun's cabinet, and wrapped them in a red flower bundle. Then he said to Jin Ju: "It's usually a woman's business to wash the Nine Dynasties. Mother's body is inconvenient. In this hot day, she definitely can't go. Dad is an old man, so he probably doesn't like to join in that kind of fun. You If you are not afraid of the heat, you will come over tomorrow on behalf of our whole family? Anyway, just deliver the congratulatory gifts, and come back after a meal!"

Jinrou's eyes lit up immediately. Although she was afraid of Tan Shi, the child's nature of joining in the fun hadn't changed. However, if her parents didn't go, and her sister didn't go, she still didn't want to go alone.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sun smiled, and said, "Go, your sister, let her take you with me, I know you can't bear to play in the village!"

Jin Rou jumped up and down happily, and said crisply: "I'll go as soon as my sister goes!"

The next day, Liang Yuzhong went to the town early in the morning. Jin Xi and Jin Rou had breakfast, cleaned up the dishes, and guessing the time, the two sisters carried their bundles and set off for the village.

Just turning into the alley with bluestone pavement in front of Lao Liang's house, he saw a carriage parked in front of Lao Liang's house from afar.

"Perhaps uncle is back!" Jin Rou tilted her head and said, Jin Xi smiled, she also guessed the same way, when it comes to the grandest going out of Lao Liang's family, Liang Yuju is the one who goes out almost every time. Hiring a carriage to go back and forth, of course, if talking about the old Liang family, or even the entire Jinjishan Village, or even Changqiao Town, who has the most debts, it must be Liang Yuju.

Jin Xi squinted her eyes, and she felt puzzled. This is the first ten days of July, and it will be less than three months before Liang Yuju pays off the debt. Jin Xi is very interested, and Liang Yuju is still here. Playing around, let's see how he fills that big hole!

Soon they arrived at Lao Liang's house, there was no one inside and outside the main room, but the door of Hong's house was half open, and the sound of a woman talking came from inside.

A broad-shouldered woman came out of the house when she heard footsteps, and saw little sister Jinxi who was entering the door. The woman's fat face was narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Yo yo, this little sister has long flowers. It's really good, is it the sister of the third uncle's family? Hurry up and sit in the room!"

Jin Xi had met this broad-shouldered woman when she first came back to Old Liang's house, and this woman in front of her was Hong's natal sister-in-law.

Hong's sister-in-law was speaking politely, but she warmly stretched out her hand to take the bundle that Jinxi was carrying.

"Auntie, you are being polite, today you are the honored guest, how can I let you entertain me!" Jin Xi said with a smile, leaning the bundle in her hand behind her.

"Where are you going? We are all relatives. It's so hot outside. Come in and sit down. Come and see your little niece. She looks so cute!" Stretching behind Jinxi, Jinxi pretended to turn around, and said to Jinju, "Then I'll go see my little niece first, and you go to say hello to grandma first, and I'll go to the backyard to find you after I finish speaking!" Xi handed the bundle in her hand to Jinrou, blinked at Jinrou, Jinrou understood, received the bundle and ran towards the backyard.

The Hong family was stunned for a moment, the smile froze on their faces, and they looked at Jin Xi and said, "Which one of you two are singing well? Look at that girl of yours running away, as if I want to eat her!"

"The eldest aunt is not a hungry wolf, what is she talking about. My sister ran away because there were eggs in the bundle, and she had to send it to grandma to clean it up. If some eggs are broken in this hot day, my sister-in-law Don't you two have to eat a few less?" Jin Xi said.

"Hey, you are still thinking about your sister-in-law, so why don't you just give me the bundle and take it into your sister-in-law's house?" Hong's family said angrily.

Jin Xi laughed and said: "My aunt doesn't know the rules of my grandparents' house, so it's not surprising that she said such a thing, if she were a sister-in-law, I'm afraid she wouldn't say such a thing, it's embarrassing me, the gift giver! "

"Why am I embarrassing you? Besides, the family rules of your old Liang family have nothing to do with me. I'll help you carry your things with good intentions. If you don't feel sorry for you, you're still knocking on me!" The Hong family walked back to the door. Leaning against the door frame, he pouted.

"Hehe, the eldest aunt is serious. How dare I ask you to carry things for me, a junior. You are here to wash the Jiuchao today. You are a distinguished guest!" He closed his eyes on the bed as if he was asleep.

"Sister-in-law seems to have fallen asleep, I think I'd better go to grandma's first, and then come to see my niece when I'm going to wash the Nine Dynasties!" Jin Xi said, walking briskly past the Hong family, and went to the backyard.

The Hong family swelled into the room, and sat down on the chair in front of the bed. The Hong family who had closed their eyes on the bed opened them, and there was no sleepiness in their eyes.

"As soon as I heard that the person you stopped was that girl Xi from the third uncle's house, I knew that this time, sister-in-law, you must have made a fool of yourself!" Hong said lying on the bed. During the premature delivery, she almost gave her life to death. After taking it in, it's been eight or nine days, and I've just recovered.

"I'm so pissed off. I don't know what the hell I saw today. I didn't stop half of the eggs when I came in to congratulate me this morning. They all fell into the trouser pocket of that old witch of the Tan family. It's so annoying to think that a little girl is also guarding me against me!" The Hong family said cursingly.

Hong stared at the ceiling of the tent with open eyes, sneered, and said: "Who made this old Liang family an old lady in charge of the house? The whole family worshiped that old witch as if they were their ancestors, even Liang Yuju That damned ghost is also afraid of his mother's terribly, giving me some private house and pocket money, he is like a thief. After the confinement period, I have the final say on how many eggs I eat at a meal. Tan's life is really miserable. !"

"Sister, I heard that Liang Lihui came back a few days ago. Has he seen this baby? What do you decide?" the Hong family asked.

"Don't mention it, that little heartless man, now he picked up a tall branch and was about to fly away. When he came back to sleep with me, Liang Yuju grabbed the two father and son and beat him. He ran away again that night and left a letter of divorce." The book was burned by Liang Yuju!" said Hong.

"Ah? And this matter, how dare he!" The Hong family jumped up from the chair in shock, the sound woke up the baby who was sleeping soundly in the cradle in front of him, and burst into tears with a 'wow'.

"Sister-in-law, shake the cradle a few times, my head hurts when I hear her cry!" Hong shi covered her head, annoyed.

The members of the Hong family glanced at the sleeping child in the cradle, and they also looked disgusted. They stepped on the bottom of the cradle with their feet, and the cradle started to shake, and the child fell asleep obediently after a while.

"Sister, you can't just be sent back to your mother's house like this, then our Hong family will lose face! If this matter doesn't work, we have to make a fuss, let's make a big fuss!" The Hong family was angry. road.

"Sister-in-law, it's better for you to treat me better. I let Liang Yuju go make trouble, but when he heard about the family where Liang Lihui married, he cowarded him first! I can't get out of bed now, otherwise, I'll go back to my mother's house to find you to send rescuers." Already!" Hong said aggrieved.

"Sister, don't worry, your business is my business. Our Hong family's daughter is not spoiled like this!" Hong's sister-in-law said angrily. In order not to raise the retired sister-in-law in vain, the Hong family decided that this must be done!
"This matter, I will leave it to my sister-in-law, and I promise that I will not let that bastard Liang Lihui divorce you!" The Hong family said: "I will talk to Mrs. Tan when I see a chance, but you Girl, what are you going to do? This child is a freak, do you really want to raise her like this? "

Hong shi supported his forehead, and glanced at the little baby curled up in the cradle in front of the bed, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

..............................

Jin Xi walked to the side door only to find that Jin Rou didn't go to the backyard, but hid behind the side door with her bundle and waited for her.

"Sister, did that person just want to grab our bundle?" Jinrou asked innocently.

Jin Xi smiled and said nothing, probably the Hong family were not the only ones waiting to intercept them at this intersection, but they just didn't know the outcome of the battle.

The two sisters went into the backyard. The curtain of the stove had already been removed because of the heat, and Yang and Jin were spinning in the oily smoke from the stove.

Liang Yuju came out of the dining hall following Old Liangtou, saw Jinxi and the sisters, Old Liangtou smiled kindly, and asked a few symbolic questions why Liang Yuzhong and his wife didn't come over, Liang Yuju's eyes met Jinxi's The orchid bundle was twirled, and Lao Liangtou asked a few words absent-mindedly, then turned and went back to the dining hall.
So he sent sister Jin Xi to the east wing, saying: "When you go back home, bring your mother some food, she can save the fire by herself."

Jin Xi dragged Jin Rou straight to Tan's house in the east room, and only after entering the room did she find that there were several women from the village who had a good relationship with Lao Liangtou sitting in this room, and Tan was talking with them.

Introduced by Mrs. Tan, Jin Xi and Jin Rou obediently smiled at the women and old women in the room.Among these women and old women, there is no one from the second room Yang's family, but there is one more from the Cui family.

Jin Xi's heart lightened up. Old Liang's family moved here from other counties in the generation of Old Liangtou. The Tan's natal family was almost deserted, and the Jin's family was abducted by kidnappers. The real relatives are Yang's family and Sun's family. When the Hong family came in, there was another Hong family.

Now, because Liang Jinlan and the Yang family are in a stalemate in the second room, the Yang family did not come to congratulate the Nine Dynasties this time, and the third room is separated, so the Sun family naturally only walks with Liang Yuzhong and the others. , the house is a bit deserted!
Then she handed the bundle roll in her hand to Mrs. Tan, who took the bundle and rolled it up and put it on the bed. Jinxi saw that there were a few bundle rolls of other colors on the bed, Jinxi secretly laughed at the Hong family's I am afraid that the result of the battle was zero last night.

Tan put away the bundle and turned around, pointing to two stools for Jinxi and Jinrou to sit on.The two sisters sat down and listened quietly to Tan and the others.

Those women are all here to congratulate the Nine Dynasty, so naturally what they say is all about childbirth, Jin Xi listens with gusto, Jin Rou gets a little bored, but she doesn't leave, just sits there with her head buried and playing The corner of your clothes.

"Sister-in-law of the Liang family, you are more blessed than us. The family is full of children and grandchildren, and now you have a great-granddaughter, who has become a grandparent!" The Cui family complimented Tan with a smile.

"Cui's family, don't just envy me, your family is also prosperous!" Mrs. Tan was overjoyed by the compliment, and she was obviously very enthusiastic about the Cui family who was about to become a new in-law, catering to the Cui family's way : "Although your family has no sons, you have raised two good daughters! The son-in-law recruited by the eldest daughter is a hard-working, well-known filial child. As soon as he entered the house, he gave birth to two eldest grandchildren. Your Cui family is a prosperous and good family!"

The Cui family was also touched in their hearts, with a satisfied smile on their faces, and said: "As long as the young couple can discuss everything and live a peaceful and beautiful life, and give me a few more grandchildren, then I will give birth to a few more grandchildren. It's even better!"
