Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 271

Jinxi's breakfast today is a pile of hot and sour dried pickled radish, a bowl of millet porridge, and a pile of green wormwood dumplings.

The dried radish is crunchy in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness in the hot and sour taste.The millet porridge was light and pleasant.The turquoise wormwood dumplings are made by kneading the moxa velvet made from this year's new wormwood in the glutinous rice flour.

They are turquoise, the size of pigeon eggs, plump and round, smooth and crystal clear, and they are laid out in a row on a large open plate with a shallow bottom, like a row of emerald agates.In the mouth, the softness and sweetness of the glutinous rice is mixed with the unique fragrance of wormwood, which makes people feel that the Lingtai is clear and refreshed. It is really a special snack in season!
In addition, there are some other foods on the dinner table, such as meat buns, spring onion rolls and so on.

Now that I have more money and my family is living a better life, this morning's meal is casually arranged. In the past, it was a treat that could only be enjoyed during the holidays.Jin Xi put down her chopsticks in relief, and after breakfast, she also understood a truth more and more.

She has no habit of making money, making money is actually a very tiring thing, whether it is the body or the mind, it has to be calculated all the time.

Make money by yourself, and work hard to make money. Making money is just a tool, a way.Through this tool and this approach, it is as simple as that to realize the goal of being rich.

After breakfast, Jin Xi wrapped a few big meat buns in oiled paper, stepped on wooden clogs, and carried a wooden umbrella to the village.

"I'm going to my grandparents' house. There are too many people, so you two don't have to follow. It's raining outside, so stay home and rest." Jin Xi walked to the gate of the yard, turned her head and followed Ah Cai, who was behind her in a coir raincoat Brother Wang said.

"Because of the rainy day, there are few pedestrians outside, so we need to escort the lady into the village. Protecting the lady from the hair is our only duty now." Ah Cai insisted.

"Miss, don't worry, we will return after our brothers escort the lady into the village safely." Awang also said.

Jin Xi looked at the serious two brothers behind him, and said, "Okay, then you all follow." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help pursing her lips, and the smile spread deeply in her eyes, Ah Cai and Ah Wang all looked at it It can be seen that this kind of smile of the young lady is not like the fake smile of entertainment in the business field, but a genuine smile from the heart.

The two stepped up and followed Jin Xi who had already walked out of the courtyard. The three of them, one in front and two behind, walked slowly towards the village on the other side of the pond under the thin rain curtain.

Because of the rain, this road is extremely muddy. On the ridges and fields beside the road, wormwood grows vigorously, and the fragrance of grass and trees can be smelled everywhere.Jin Xi nearly slipped and fell twice, but fortunately Ah Cai had quick eyes and quick hands, and supported Jin Xi's arm from behind. The three of them followed each other step by step, and finally finished the muddy road and stepped on the stone road in the village.

Although it is a rainy day, for farmers who are in the busy season of farming, not all of them can rest at home.Facing him, I also met a few people who were hurriedly going to the field with farm tools and carts.Jin Xi took the initiative to greet and inquire with them, and it turned out that these people all went to the field to grab rapeseed.

After the rapeseed was harvested two days ago, because there was still some water vapor on it, these farmers put it in the field, and wanted to spread it to dry for two days before dragging it home.I didn't expect that the rain came as soon as I said it last night. If I don't drag the rapeseed back, I'm afraid it will all rot in the ground. Then the busy work of this season will really be in vain!

The three turned to the bluestone alley in front of Lao Liang's house, and parted ways with Brother Ah Cai and Ah Wang.

The door of the main room of the big house was locked, everyone must have gone to the back yard, Jin Xi thought so, turned into the alley to the west, and went straight to the back yard.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw the door of the East Wing was open. Old Liangtou and Liang Yulin were standing side by side under the eaves, watching the rain outside, and they were discussing things in whispers.The curtain of the kitchen room in the upper room was drawn down, and the sound of pots and pans could be heard from inside. After a while, Mrs. Yang opened the curtain and came out, holding a big grass carp wagging its tail, squatting under the eaves for slaughter.

Jinxi said hello to the old Liangtou here, and went straight to the kitchen. Yang raised her eyelids and saw Jinxi coming, she snorted, turned her back, and turned her butt to the outside.

Jin Xi ignored these things, opened the curtain and entered the kitchen.

Sitting by the stove, Jin's expression was still a little dazed, but the confusion in her eyes seemed to have dissipated a bit. When she saw Jin Xi coming in, she even grinned at Jin Xi, recognized her, and called out, "Girl Xi" coming. '

Sun, who was squatting there kneading the moxa, turned around when she heard the sound, Jin Xi took out the oiled paper bag from her armpit, and handed it to Sun: "Mother, wash your hands, eat two steamed buns to fill your belly first! "

Sun smiled lovingly, raised the heels of her palms and brushed a strand of hair behind her ears, and said, "Give one to your aunt first, and I will wash my hands."

Jin Xi opened the oil-paper bag, there were six buns inside, Jin Xi took a meat bun and handed it to Jin Shi, Jin Shi took it in a daze, grinned happily and said, "Sweet."

Seeing that there were five left in the oil-paper bag, Mrs. Sun looked a bit reluctant to take it, and said: "The buns are delivered well today, and your father hasn't eaten them yet. The ones who ran from the east to the west early in the morning, and then It’s asking someone or borrowing a table, you give him one, and the rest to your milk!”

Jin Xi couldn't help but grab two buns and put them in Sun's hand, saying: "Mother, I know, these two are your portion, you eat."

Not only that, Jin Xi avoids Sun's by taking a bite of both buns, and then prepares to leave the kitchen in peace.The curtain was lifted, and Yang came in from the outside with a smile. The blood from killing the fish in her hands had obviously not had time to wash, her eyes fell on the three buns in Jin Xi's hands, and she said enthusiastically: "Oh, third brother and sister, Your family really deserves to be in this business, the steamed stuffed buns are really good, I could smell the scent right at the door."

If it was the past, Mrs. Sun would definitely treat Mrs. Yang to eat politely, even if she herself was hungry, she would not care about a few buns.

However, at this moment, Mrs. Sun just smiled and nodded when she heard the words, as a response to Mrs. Yang's words, and continued to eat her buns.

Jin Xi recalled Yang's snorting and deliberately turning around and pointing her butt at her funny behavior when she entered the room just now, she smiled, and then said: "Second Mom's nose is really smarter than a dog's nose! , Isn’t it just that, inside my steamed stuffed bun, it’s full of minced pork belly with scallion oil, if you break it open a little, you can still fill it with soup, or why is our shop called Qianlixiang?”

Yang's eyes gleamed even more, he swallowed hard, and glanced at Jin who was eating steamed buns at the door of the stove, Yang was unwilling.

Accompanying her with a smile, she said: "Xi'er, look at what you said so well, it makes people starve to death, hurry up, let the second mother have a taste too, and help you check!" As she said, she was about to come over to snatch Jinxi With the oiled paper bag in her hand, Jin Xi turned around to avoid her clutches, stepped aside and giggled, "I'm sorry, Second Mom, you don't have this bun today, I have to give it to my grandma. go!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Xi lifted the curtain and left the kitchen, Yang Shi was anxious and wanted to go over and drag her, but Sun Shi grabbed her arm earlier and fished her back.

"Second sister-in-law, have the fish been cleaned up? After kneading the wormwood dumplings here, we will start frying the fish pieces." Sun asked.

Yang's eyes turned to the remaining half of the steamed stuffed bun in Sun's hand, he shook off Sun's hand angrily, spat, and said, "You are the good daughters you taught, just two steamed stuffed buns Well, guarding like fate, a family of cheapskates!"

Mrs. Sun didn't get annoyed, and said calmly: "If you're stingy, don't say it's my family, it's our Jinjishan Village. The second sister-in-law is ranked second, so no one dares to rank first."

Yang pointed at Sun angrily: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Mrs. Sun shook her head, and said: "It's the same thing again. What happened to my daughter's food protection? We earned it ourselves. We protect it well and deserve it. We can give it to whoever we want, and whoever we don't want to give it to." I won’t give it to anyone, it’s just such a reason!”

Yang rolled her eyes angrily, and looked Sun's whole body up and down.Today, Mrs. Sun is wearing a spring shirt with dark red branches on a blue background and an open front on the right lapel, and a purple skirt underneath. In order to make it easier to rub the wormwood dumplings, the sleeves of both arms were rolled up near the crook of the arms, exposing the wrists. A pair of dragon beard silver bracelets.

No wonder people say that as long as this person has money, his waist will become stiff.The three younger brothers and sisters in front of them are the best example, they are no longer the submissive Sun family who didn't know how to argue after suffering a loss!Yang's heart was about to go mad with envy and jealousy, she glared at Sun angrily, turned around and flung the curtain and slipped out to continue picking grass carp.

Mrs. Sun here breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the swaying curtain, and Mrs. Yang at the door who was pouring all her anger on the grass carp. Mrs. Sun touched the silver bracelet on her wrist, Jin Xi and her The words I said echoed in my ears again.

"Mother, my daughter has earned money now and bought you a silver bracelet. You are reluctant to wear it and have to hide it under the box. What is that?"

"Stupid girl, mother came here because she was reluctant, and secondly, she couldn't save face and wear it out. When the villagers saw it, they might talk behind my back about our nouveau riche, showing off!"

"Mother, we don't steal or rob ourselves. We can spend the money we earn with our skills and sweat. We can spend it however we want. We eat well, dress well, and the whole family goes out in a decent manner. How nice it is!" Jin Xi said: "We didn't have a good life in the past, and it's not decent to go out, so others will take a special look? People in this world are mostly judged by their appearance, rich and status , in the eyes of others, it is a manifestation of ability. Even if they talk about it behind their backs, they really envy us from the bottom of their hearts."

"Then, mother will wear this bracelet?"

"Well, I have to wear it. We're not showing off, we're enjoying the fruits of our hard work, and we're justified!" After finishing speaking, Jin Xi put the pair of dragon beard silver bracelets on Sun's wrists with her own hands.
