Chapter 42
It's late again today, I'm sorry everyone, I will definitely update it tomorrow!Please recommend and collect!
Lao Zheng showed a smile scarier than crying: "It's okay, take it away." He helped Lei Zhengtang break off Li Xianzhi's hand, and Li Xianzhi immediately burst into tears.Lei Zhengtang looked at him angrily and amusedly: "Old Zheng will definitely not accept you as an apprentice just because you drop the golden beans."

When Li Xianzhi heard this, the heavy rain suddenly cleared up, and he said with a smile: "Grandpa, I won't cry anymore, I will be Grandpa Zheng's apprentice."

Lei Zhengtang couldn't help but laugh: "Have you ever learned how to change faces, kid?" After speaking, he slapped his ass: "Hurry up and go home with me!" Li Xianzhi looked back at Lao Zheng, then at his own. Grandpa, Li Shasha couldn't help laughing at that resentful look in his eyes.

Lei Zhengtang turned his head and said to Old Zheng: "Old Zheng, I'll settle the score with you in the afternoon, I'll go back and let my old woman cook all these." Old Zheng said to the door: "No!" He turned his head and went in .

Lei Zhengtang ignored him, took one in each hand and went home.After arriving home, Lei Zhengtang put the basket in front of Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu put down the work in his hands and checked it out: "Hey, I came back with so many things for half a tael of silver today." Lei Zhengtang was very angry He said calmly, "Old Zheng, just before he left, he stuffed two hares for me."

Mrs. Wu carried two hares: "Old Zheng understands the principles of life. If you hadn't saved him that year, he would still be where he is today."

Lei Zhengtang glared at Mrs. Wu: "What are you talking about? Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I've seen it, so can I not stretch out my hand? Besides, it's not easy for him now. He lives alone and has no land. Don’t they all catch these things with two hands? We can’t take advantage of people and make them unable to live.”

"You're right, I won't talk to you." Wu Shi turned around and went to the kitchen.Li Shasha was busy all morning and was a little tired, so she went to rest on Lei Guoyu's bed in the back room.

When it was time for lunch, Wu stewed a pheasant, braised a hare in soy sauce, fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs with the method taught by Li Shasha, cut some wild boar to make cauliflower in a dry pot, and put 50 Scoville's Chili.

Everyone was very happy to eat, spicy one by one.Li Shasha thinks that although Wu's appearance is a bit scary, his cooking skills are very good.They are all wild vegetables in the countryside, but they are spicy and delicious, which makes people quite uneasy.

After the meal, Mrs. Wu called her two daughters to stop and said they were making zongzi.Li Xianzhi dragged Lei Zhengtang and Lei Guoan outside, not knowing what to do in a sneaky manner.

Li Shasha went to the inner room by herself, thinking that although her grandmother was a little selfish, she was still not out of line.Let's buy some bean paste and salted egg yolk for them, and let grandma and grandpa have a good meal of different rice dumplings.

Thinking this way, when no one came in, he stepped into the space, didn't look at his crops, pasture, orchard, went straight to Xiaolong, bought bean paste and salted egg yolk, and hurried out. Be careful.

Li Shasha took the things and went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Wu, and told Mrs. Wu how to use these things. Mrs. Wu is very good at DIY. She cut some of the smoked pork leg and wrapped it with salted egg yolk.Li Shasha felt that she had a good idea, so she clapped her hands and praised Wu Shi, who made her feel a little embarrassed.

Li Shasha saw that the two aunts made dumplings quite fast, and they made more shapes than Li Yulan and the others, not only cone-shaped, but also rhombus-shaped, and pentagonal-shaped. She showed a little envy on her face.

Mrs. Wu watched from the side, remembering that she just got her good things and said to her: "What's the matter, I want to learn how to make zongzi." Li Shasha nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Wu immediately sat down and taught her little by little.Wu's teacher is not as soft-spoken as Wang's. When he sees something that is not well learned, he immediately reprimands him harshly.

Li Shasha somewhat understood why the two aunts made zongzi faster and better than Li Yulan's.I'm afraid Wang's gentle temperament can't be taught well, but it's Wu's pungent temperament that makes the learners dare not to learn it well and quickly.She was planning to go back tomorrow and asked to make zongzi again, to show off the skills she had just learned in front of Mrs. Wang and Li Yulan.

After the first pot of zongzi was steamed, Li Shasha smelled something different again.She hurried to the stove to have a look, and sure enough there were not only zongzi in it, but also something bigger than zongzi.

Li Shasha pointed to that thing and asked Wu: "Grandma, what is this? I look different from a zongzi." Wu replied with a smile: "This is Faba!" He picked one up, put it on a plate and handed it to her.

Li Shasha took it and smelled it, and it smelled sour.She raised her head and looked at Wu Shi with some doubts: "Grandma, why do I smell a little sour, won't it go bad?" Li Shasha's words made the two aunts who were making rice dumplings next to her burst into laughter.

Li Shasha blushed with embarrassment: "Grandma, did I ask the wrong question?" Mrs. Wu replied: "This is glutinous rice and ordinary rice ground into powder, then soaked in water and fermented. Wrap it up and steam it. Because it must be fermented, it’s called Fababa. Of course, the fermented food has a smell of wine, and you may think it’s sour!”

"When it's Chinese New Year, you can also use the fire pit to cook the cakes to eat. You can also fry them in oil. The cakes fried in an oil pan have a thin layer of crispy rice on the surface, browned and crispy, and soft and sweet inside." Wu's There seemed to be a hint of temptation in the voice, which made Li Shasha's saliva flow to her tongue uncontrollably.

She peeled off the tung tree leaves, and there was a little bit of pink imprinted on the papa, and the faint fragrance of the leaves was mixed in, with a little bit of bitterness.After breaking open the cake, a faint smell of wine and rice floated into the nose.Opened his mouth and took a bite, wow, it was so hot, but it tasted good, it was really soft and sweet.

Because we made zongzi together and tasted Wu's Faba, although Li Shasha felt that Wu was kind to her because she gave things, but Wu's cooking skills and the dexterity in making these things, But Mrs. Wang can't compare, she is still willing to get close to Mrs. Wu and learn something.

When it was getting dark, Li Xianzhi happily entered the door with Lei Zhengtang and Lei Guoan.Li Shasha didn't see him all afternoon, so she wondered if he was pestering that old Zheng again. Looking at his happy face, she guessed that Old Zheng agreed to accept him as an apprentice.

Seeing these three people, Mrs. Wu asked, "Where did you two go for a stroll this afternoon? Hurry up and eat rice dumplings, I made them with the good things Sister Sha gave you." Lei Zhengtang quickly said, "I didn't go anywhere. , the zongzi can be steamed, okay, Brother Zhi, let’s eat with our stomachs open.”

The whole family ate dinner, and after the meal, each of them ate a zongzi. As for the poop, there was no place to put it down.Everyone was full of praise for today's innovative zongzi, and Mrs. Wu also looked a little proud.After the meal, Lei Zhengtang led Lei Guoan and Li Xianzhi disappeared again.

Before going to bed, because the second aunt Lei Guoqiong and the third aunt Lei Guohua will come to pay their respects to Lei Zhengtang and Wu shi tomorrow morning.Wu made a division of work for tomorrow. Li Shasha felt that Wu was like the CEO of a company. She would arrange everything in advance with a clear division of labor.In this way, everyone will not be like a headless chicken when they do things, and the efficiency is very high.

Early the next morning, Li Shasha went to the mountain behind with an excuse.Flashing into the space, first put the water away, then collect things, sell things, and grow things.This time, the grass carp in the pond has grown up, and it looks like it weighs four to five catties, and it can be fished up, but she dare not fish here, and then she can't explain where the fish came from.I can only talk about it when I go home in the afternoon.

Li Shasha went to the supermarket to look again, and bought a small mirror for her aunt Lei Guoyu who was the most gentle to her.Knowing that the second aunt and the third aunt each had three little ones, she bought some toffee and distributed some to each other later, so as to build a good relationship, she put everything in her arms and freed up space.

Back in the room where he slept, Lei Guoyu was making the bed, but Lei Guoxiu was missing.For Li Shasha, this was a great opportunity, she hurriedly took out a small mirror from her bosom and handed it to Lei Guoyu.

Lei Guoyu took the mirror inexplicably, took a look at it, and was startled, the mirror showed her face very clearly.She thought to herself, this is much better than the bronze mirror that Third Sister kept hidden as a treasure, and she didn't know what it was made of, but why it was so clear, even the little mole at the corner of her mouth could be seen clearly.

Lei Guoyu asked Li Shasha excitedly: "Sister Sha, what kind of mirror is this? is you!"

Lei Guoyu murmured: "Give me the glass mirror! Sister Sha, it's too expensive, my aunt can't take it." Li Shasha comforted her with a smile: "Auntie, you have taken care of me so carefully these two days, I didn't What a good thing to express my heart, and you will remember me when you see this mirror in the future."

Lei Guoyu smiled and patted her on the head: "Sister Sha, you are too good at talking. Then my aunt will give you a sachet. It's just not as good as your grandma's embroidery, so don't dislike it! But there is realgar in it." , wormwood, and calamus are ground into powder, which can be used for the Dragon Boat Festival.”

After speaking, Lei Guoyu found a red satin sachet from his box.Li Shasha took the sachet and looked at it. It was embroidered with five poisons, green snake, centipede, scorpion, gecko and toad.Although it is not lifelike, the color matching of the silk thread is very beautiful.

Li Shasha immediately hung the sachet on her chest, smiled and looked up to Lei Guoyu and said, "Auntie, I like it very much, can I wear it today?" Lei Guoyu was also very happy to see that she really liked it: "Well, today You wear it, it can drive away evil spirits and ward off evil spirits."
