Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 35
Li Yulan hurriedly chimed in: "That's right, if this fir mushroom is not stewed, it won't taste so good." Li Xianzhi also said: "Grandma, I want to eat fir mushroom stew!" All the children are greedy for meat, so they said to Wang: "Third daughter-in-law, since the children all want to eat, let's go to the butcher Zhang's house in the village to chop some meat back!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law had spoken, Mrs. Wang had nothing to say, so she said to everyone: "Okay, let's go to Zhang Butcher's house in the afternoon, and eat stewed pork with fir mushrooms in the evening." cheer.

After eating and clearing up, several people went back to their rooms to rest for a while.Li Shasha was indeed tired today, she fell asleep after falling down.When she woke up, Li Yulan beside her had already got up.

Li Shasha hurriedly asked: "Auntie, can I go to Zhang Tuhu's house with you?" Li Yulan replied: "Okay! You can take some money and go with me later. When you settle accounts, I am not afraid of being punished." Wrong calculation." Li Shasha got up as soon as she heard this, put on her clothes in three steps, and took out a bunch of copper coins from the wooden box and put them in her arms.

Seeing that she had taken so many copper coins, Li Yulan smiled and said, "With so much, I'm going to buy half a pig back!" Li Shasha also laughed and said, "I just want to see if there are any good ones I can buy, so I can buy more." .” Li Yulan didn’t say much, and led Li Shasha out.

Just a few steps away, someone shouted from behind: "Wait for me, wait for me!" Hearing the voice, the two of them turned their heads, who could it be? It was Li Xianzhi chasing up from behind.Li Shasha asked: "Brother, why don't you sleep for a while?" Li Xianzhi complained: "You didn't call me when you went to Zhang Butcher. If I didn't wake up in time, you would have run away."

Li Yulan went over and took Li Xianzhi's hand: "If you want to go with us, you are not allowed to run around, and later you will not know where to go to play." Li Xianzhi said, "How can I? I can't go to Zhang Butcher once or twice a year. No, why would you run around!" After speaking, Li Yulan obediently asked Li Yulan to lead her and her sister to Zhang Tuhu's house at the west end of the village.

After walking for a while, I arrived in front of Zhang Tuhu's house.Li Shasha looked up and saw that although the house was also made of wood, its roof was covered with green tiles like Li Rongrong's house.The ping in front of the door was as big as two of my own house, and only one middle-aged woman was busy in the ping.

Li Yulan shouted: "Aunt Zhang, my mother asked me to come to your house to chop some meat today." The aunt Zhang turned her head and saw the three of them, and immediately came to hold Li Yulan enthusiastically: "Hey, I said who is here?" Well, it turned out to be Magnolia! Come, come, sit in the room, and tell your aunt how much meat you need, and your aunt will ask your second brother to chop it up."

Li Shasha made this aunt's enthusiasm shake off her goosebumps, and she didn't know why this aunt was so enthusiastic about Li Yulan.

The aunt Zhang arranged Li Yulan and the three of them to sit down in the main room, and shouted loudly: "Second boy, Yulan from your Uncle Li's family is here to chop meat, come out soon!" Then ran out a dark, tall and strong boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

When the young man saw Li Yulan's black face, it seemed like a flower was about to burst out of laughter, and he said courteously, "Sister Yulan is here, what kind of meat are you going to chop?" A little frightened, he stammered and said, "Ask my sister Sha."

Seeing this, Li Shasha hurriedly stepped between the two of them: "Uncle Zhang, we want to buy some pork belly. I wonder if you still have any?" Zhang Erlang stared at Li Yulan with all eyes since he entered the room, and listened. What Li Shasha said, she didn't even give her a wink.Still looking at Li Yulan: "Yes, yes, how much do you want?"

Li Yulan made him stare until his little face turned red, so he could only lower his head and look at the ground.Li Shasha pulled Li Xianzhi, and Li Xianzhi stepped forward to pull Zhang Erlang: "Uncle Zhang, take us to see the meat!"

That Zhang Erlang made Li Xianzhi tilt his body, and then he became a little sober: "Yes, of course, can Miss Yulan go?" Li Shasha rushed to answer: "Go, we will all go."

The four of them then went to the nearby stove house. The stove house of Zhang Tuhu's house was larger than that of Li's house. In the middle of the stove house, there were two large door panels placed on four benches. Cut a few pieces into pieces of different sizes.Li Shasha stepped forward to pick out a piece with five flowers and three layers of fat meat, and Zhang Erlang picked it up and weighed it to more than four catties.

Zhang Erlang took the abacus next to him and pulled it out: "Ten coins per catty, four catties and two taels, our folks in the village, let's take forty coins per four catties!" After hearing this, Li Shasha took out a money bag from her arms and counted and gave him forty copper coins.Zhang Erlang took out a lotus leaf from under the door panel, wrapped the meat up, tied it with a straw rope, and then handed it to Li Yulan.

Li Yulan didn't dare to look up from his piercing gaze, but just stretched out her hand to take the straw rope.Going out from the stove house, the aunt Zhang was still busy at the door of the main room. Seeing them coming out, she chased after them and said, "Yulan, come and play when you have time! Auntie still wants to ask you about needlework."

Li Yulan blushed and lowered her head and said softly: "Auntie, you are too polite, how dare you ask me for advice, if there is any work for me, just tell me." Aunt Zhang heard this The words were immediately overjoyed: "Then Yulan, if there is any need in the future, I will let my second boy find you!"

Li Yulan nodded slightly: "Auntie, let's go back!" Aunt Zhang said: "Second boy, hurry up and send Magnolia." Zhang Erlang immediately replied: "Okay!" Li Yulan waved her hands in fright: "No, no It's gone!" After saying that, he led the two little ones and fled in despair.

Zhang Erlang still wanted to chase after him, but Aunt Zhang stopped him: "Okay, everyone is gone, go chase again, don't scare others." Zhang Erlang turned back and said to his mother: "Mom, I just want to marry you." Sister Yulan, please help me go to Uncle Li's house and talk about it!" Aunt Zhang poked his head with her finger: "Silly boy, why are you so anxious, you sister Yulan is only twelve, you have to wait until you can do anything!"

Zhang Erlang said: "I'm afraid it will be too late at that time, and it would be nice to let someone take it first." Aunt Zhang smiled: "Okay, your mother has taken this matter to heart, and I won't miss your business!"

Don't talk about the muttering here, let's talk about the three people who fled.After running not far, Li Shasha couldn't run anymore, she just waved her hands and said, "I can't run anymore!" Li Yulan looked back and saw that Zhang Erlang didn't come after him, so she stopped too, and the three of them faced each other straight away. Gasp.After resting for a while, I slowly walked home.

Li Shasha said to Li Yulan while walking: "Auntie, that family is so scary, does that Zhang Erlang like you?" Nizi, how dare you tease your aunt, look back and prevent grandma from spanking your little ass."

Li Shasha said: "Hey, I also want to tell you about spanking my little butt. Zhang Erlang likes Aunt Luo." Upon hearing this, Li Yulan was so angry that she just stomped her feet: "Sister Sha, don't tell the outside world, your aunt doesn't have to be a human being in the future." It's gone." Only then did Li Shasha realize that this was not her era, and reputation was very important to her daughter's family.

She lowered her head in embarrassment: "Auntie, I'm sorry, Sister Sha apologizes to you." Li Yulan smiled and said, "It's all right, don't talk nonsense to outsiders! Let's go home quickly and have stewed pork belly with fir mushrooms tonight." Luo!" Li Xianzhi was the happiest when he heard this, and he dragged his sister and aunt to run home in a hurry.

When the three of them arrived home, Li Yulan put the meat wrapped in lotus leaves on the stove. When Wang saw it, she asked, "How many catties of meat have you chopped?" , forty Wen." Wang said with a smile: "Hey, it can be regarded as a solution to Brother Zhi's greed."

Li Shasha put the remaining copper plate back into the wooden box, came out of her room, and saw Li Xianzhi staring at the piece of pork belly with burning eyes.Immediately, I felt that the gaze was as longing as a wolf seeing a lamb, and I felt amused in my heart.He said to Li Xianzhi: "Brother, are you going to keep staring at this piece of meat like this? Aren't you going to go out and play for a while?"

Li Xianzhi waved his hand: "I think grandma cooks very well." Seeing him like this, Li Shasha also sat next to him to watch Wang and Li Yulan cook together.

Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something and said: "The Dragon Boat Festival is about to be celebrated. Although our family grows bamboos, we don't have any glutinous rice and mung beans at all." Li Shasha replied: "Grandma, how about When we meet a market, let's go to the town to buy glutinous rice and mung beans?"

When Li Xianzhi heard this, he must be making zongzi, and immediately became happy: "Grandma, this year we must be able to make zongzi by ourselves?" Wang said, "Yes, let's go on the 25th. This year Our family must make more rice dumplings, and send some to your great-grandfather’s, great-aunt’s, and Zhusheng’s homes, and I’ve eaten all the rice dumplings they sent over the years.” Li Shasha thought that if this was the case, she would buy some from the supermarket Bean paste and salted egg yolk, there are more varieties of dumplings.

Finally, in the eyes of everyone's anticipation, the stewed meat with fir mushrooms came out of the pot, and the smell of mushrooms and meat permeated the stove.Li Yulan still put the stewed meat with fir fungus in an earthen jar, and simmered it with a small charcoal stove.Li Xianzhi finally left the stove and sat down at the dining table following the pot of stewed meat.

Li Shasha went to the back room to help the old lady over, and the family sat down at the dinner table and started eating.It was the first time I ate this stewed meat with mushrooms, and it was really delicious.Li Shasha almost couldn't swallow her tongue, a bowl of rice seemed to slide down her throat.I have never eaten this fir mushroom, but I did not expect it to be so delicious!Compared with the mushrooms in the north, the fresh fragrance is another kind of flavor.

After a few days like this, Li Shasha's space fruit tree planting has reached the third level. She planted peach trees and apricot trees.It made her want to plant a few fruit trees in the backyard, but the vegetables grown in the backyard can be exchanged for money, and there is really no room to grow things, which strengthens Li Shasha's determination to find a place to start a house again up.
