Chapter 149 Chapter 149 The Benefits of the Big Bathtub
Although the quilt that has been flipped from an old quilt looks very new, it is still somewhat different from the brand new one. Experienced people can tell the difference by smelling the cotton, so a quilt that has been flipped from an old quilt cannot be regarded as a new quilt. sell.

"Excluding capital and manpower in this way, we can't make much money at all, not to mention we have to set up stalls and sell cakes, so we don't have time to run other businesses."

Mo Liang felt that Shen Qingcheng's analysis made sense, and quickly dismissed his previous thoughts.

"I was confused and forgot the saying that business is more important than more."

Mo Liang thought again that Jun Wulan just brought two baskets of cotton seeds back to the main room and left in a hurry. He didn't even have time to ask Shen Qingcheng, so now he asked Shen Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, I saw that Alan made two baskets of cotton seeds. The baskets of cotton seeds came back to be placed in the main room, did the owner of the quilt shop give you those two baskets of cotton seeds? What do you do with the cotton seeds?"

Shen Qingcheng replied with a guilty conscience when asked by Mo Liang: "Uncle Liang, those two baskets of cotton seeds were not given to us by the owner of the quilt shop."

"You paid for it?"

"Ah."

Seeing Shen Qingcheng nodding, Mo Liang touched his heart and felt a little colic there, but thinking that Shen Qingcheng became a very thoughtful person after hanging himself, he took a deep breath and resisted scolding the prodigal son, and continued to speak kindly Ask nicely: "What do you young couple buy those cotton seeds for?"

Shen Qingcheng said: "It is used to extract oil."

"Cotton seeds can also be used to extract oil? Who did you hear?"

"I heard it from a relative at my grandma's house when I was young."

Shen Qingcheng talked nonsense, and then roughly explained the process of extracting oil from cotton seeds to Mo Liang.

Mo Liang originally thought that using cotton seeds to extract oil was nonsense, but after hearing Shen Qingcheng's words, he felt that this method was feasible, and he had some expectations in his heart.

If it is possible to extract oil from cotton seeds, then there will be no need to worry about eating oil in the future, and it will save a lot of money.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll fry those two baskets of cotton seeds. You and Alan go to the market to sell cakes, and I'll take Xiaoluo to the mill to shell the cotton seeds."

Shen Qingcheng told Mo Liang just now that frying the cotton seeds in a pan for a while will make it easier to remove the cotton seed husks after being baked at a high temperature and become crispy.

"Then I will work hard tomorrow, Uncle Liang."

"What's the hard work? There is a mill in Dahuang Village. I'm not afraid of the hard work that can really squeeze out the oil."

When the bone soup in the big iron pot was about to be stewed, Jun Wulan came back.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Qingcheng excitedly led Jun Yi to the door, and Mo Liang also took a spatula to the door to have a look.

Seeing Jun Wulan striding forward with a bunch of small miscellaneous fish in his hand, Jun Yiluo clapped his hands excitedly.

"Daddy caught another fish."

Seeing Jun Wulan approaching with a cold air, Shen Qingcheng quickly reached out to pick up the bunch of small miscellaneous fish.

"Brother Jun, give me the fish, and you hurry up and grill it in front of the stove."

"I'm not cold, you take Xiaoluo and continue to enjoy the fire, I'll get these little fish out quickly, let's add food tonight."

Jun Wulan walked past Shen Qingcheng with a bunch of small miscellaneous fish and went directly to the stove to fetch water for killing the fish.

While putting the stewed bone soup into pots, Mo Liang watched Jun Wulan kill the fish from time to time.

"This string must weigh more than three catties, and there are quite a lot of small fish in the Shifang Weir."

Jun Wulan responded casually: "Yeah, I put the dustpan back to the water outlet, and collect it every two or three days. I can often eat fish."

Shen Qingcheng's body was roasted and warmed up. After Jun Wulan cleaned up the small miscellaneous fish, she was in charge of cooking.

Tonight, Mo Liang stewed the bone radish soup and did not make miscellaneous fish soup. He marinated the killed small miscellaneous fish with salt for a while, and then fried it slowly in a pot over low heat.

There was a sizzling sound in the iron pot. The fragrance of tea oil and the deliciousness of the miscellaneous fish were a perfect combination. Shen Qingcheng carefully turned the small miscellaneous fish in the pot with bamboo chopsticks, and waited for the small miscellaneous fish in the pot to When the fish was fried until golden on both sides, the low and narrow kitchen was already filled with aroma.

Mo Liang smelled the fragrance and couldn't help sighing to Jun Wulan: "It's still your wife who can cook."

Jun Wulan looked proud, didn't say anything, but replied to Mo Liang in his heart: Yes.

Shen Qingcheng took the fried miscellaneous fish out of the pan, sprinkled some chopped green onion and served it on the table.

Mixed grain rice cooked with corn and rice, bone radish soup, and salt-fried small miscellaneous fish made by Shen Qingcheng. This kind of dinner is very rich. The family of four eats around the broken wooden table with smiles on their faces.

"Mother, the little fish you cook is really delicious."

It was inconvenient for Jun Yiluo to eat fish with bamboo chopsticks, so the little girl simply put the chopsticks on the table, holding a small miscellaneous fish in her small hands, and gnawed until her hands and mouth became greasy.

Mo Liang frowned.

Although they are now exiled to such a desolate place as Xiliang County, he still wants to teach Jun Yiluo to be a lady.

"Luo'er, girls should chew and eat slowly, and can't just eat with their hands. Have you forgotten what Grandpa Liang taught you before?"

Although Jun Wulan adopted Jun Yiluo, whether in the capital or in Xiliang County, Jun Yiluo spends more time with Mo Liang, and Mo Liang is responsible for educating Jun Yiluo on a daily basis. Jun Yiluo immediately put the half-eaten small miscellaneous fish in the bowl, and obediently picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table.

Seeing her clumsy appearance, Shen Qingcheng couldn't help saying: "Uncle Liang, it's better to be a lady than a lady, and a wild girl to be a wild girl. If our family is restless but ask her It's really embarrassing for her to quietly learn to be a lady, so it's better to let her live as she pleases."

"Live as you please, what if the bad habits in your body are rejected by your husband in the future?"

Mo Liang refuted Shen Qingcheng this time.

Shen Qingcheng met Mo Liang's eyes, and continued to discuss Jun Yiluo's future education without giving in.

"Uncle Liang, in my opinion, to like someone is to like everything about him. If you can only accept the beauty of the other person but not the shortcomings of the other person, how deep can this kind of love be, and how long can such love last? I Brother Jun would rather continue to raise Luo'er than marry Luo'er to such a person."

After Shen Qingcheng finished speaking, both Jun Wulan and Mo Liang stared at her with shocked expressions, especially Jun Wulan's heart fluctuated violently at the moment.

He is an exile, with scars on his face, and is still poor. Is it because Qingcheng likes herself deeply that she is still willing to follow such a miserable self?
Thinking of this possibility, Jun Wulan's heart beat faster, and his eyes on Shen Qingcheng became a little fiery.

"Alan, what's your opinion?"

Before that, Mo Liang always felt that he had no problem with teaching Jun Yiluo. After all, he was the most capable person around that nobleman, and he brought up Alan, thinking that he could teach Alan to become Xia Guo. The famous general who protects the country can also teach the little girl to be a well-educated lady, but now after listening to Shen Qingcheng's words, his heart is a little shaken.

Jun Wulan said: "Uncle Liang, Xiao Luo doesn't need to be a lady, I agree with Qing Cheng's statement, let Xiao Luo live as he pleases."

"Okay, you two think it's good to do so."

Seeing that Jun Yiluo was struggling to eat fish with chopsticks, Mo Liang picked up a yellow horned fish with few spines and plenty of meat and handed it to her.

"Eat it with your hands, just eat slowly so you don't get stuck."

Jun Yiluo raised his head and took the yellow horned fish from Mo Liang happily.

"Grandpa Liang, I know that you are doing it for my own good, and my father and mother are also doing it for my good. You are all my favorite people."

Mo Liang has taken care of Jun Yiluo for so long, and this is the first time he was moved when he heard such words from the little girl.

Shen Qingcheng looked at him with a moved smile and said, "Uncle Liang, isn't our family's Luo'er doing well right now?"

"It's good."

Mo Liang helped Jun Yiluo pick up another yellow horned fish, and said kindly: "Eat more if you like it, Luo'er, if you want to speak loudly, then speak loudly, if you want to jump, then jump and jump. Grandpa Liang won't restrain you from now on."

"Thank you good grandpa."

Jun Yiluo was so excited that the volume of his voice suddenly increased, Mo Liang was so close to her that her voice shook his ears uncomfortable.

Seeing the excited look of the little girl, Mo Liang turned to look at Shen Qingcheng and smiled, completely agreeing with what Shen Qingcheng said just now.

After dinner, the family of four was busy with their own work.

Shen Qingcheng was busy kneading noodles, chopping stuffing for buns, and making pastry for scallion pancakes.

After the dough is kneaded, put it in a small iron pan to wake up, and it will be ready for use tomorrow morning.

After tidying up the kitchen, Mo Liang went to make the bed. There were only three sets of quilts tonight. He used one set in his house, and put two sets in the main room where Shen Qingcheng and the others slept.

Jun Yiluo is responsible for feeding the rabbits and the chickens.

When it was dark, Shen Qingcheng finally made the stuffing for the buns and the pastry for the scallion pancakes.

Take some flour and pour it with hot tea oil, and stir with chopsticks while the oil is hot until the flour and tea oil are completely combined, then sprinkle with minced green onion and a proper amount of salt, and the fragrant scallion pancake is ready.

Shredded white radish and leopard meat are chopped together to make stuffing for buns. Although the stuffing is only seasoned with chopped green onion and salted tea oil, as long as the dough is well proofed, Shen Qingcheng is confident that this kind of stuffing can be used The steamed buns made can also taste better than those sold by vendors in the town.

After putting the minced meat and pastry in a large bowl with a cover and putting them in the cupboard, Shen Qingcheng stretched and suddenly felt a little itchy all over her body. Only then did she realize that she hadn't washed it since she woke up. take a bath.

"Qingcheng, are you tired?"

Jun Wulan prepared some things needed for going to the market tomorrow and came to the kitchen when she saw a tired look on Shen Qingcheng's face.

Shen Qingcheng nodded and responded to him truthfully: "I'm a little tired."

Jun Wulan went to the stove and sat down to pick up the tongs.

"I've worked hard for you today. You sit by the side and rest for a while. I'll boil hot water for you to soak your feet before going to sleep."

Shen Qingcheng felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a bath, but these few days she didn't find a bathtub at home, and she was afraid that Jun Wulan would feel embarrassed by her request to take a bath.

After Jun Wulan stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, she turned her head and saw her frowning expression on her face as she thought about something and couldn't express it.

"Green orange, green orange."

Shen Qingcheng was thinking about how to solve the problem of bathing. She knew that people in places like this with poor living conditions could go without bathing for a whole winter, but if she was allowed to go without bathing for a whole winter, she would suffer to death. This question fascinated her Yes, Jun Wulan called her twice but she didn't hear her.

"Green orange."

Jun Wulan had no choice but to raise her voice and call her again.

"What are you thinking about so obsessively?"

Only then did Shen Qingcheng come to her senses, after thinking about it for a while, she decided to tell Jun Wulan her desire to take a bath.

There are tools for carpenters at home. If there is no bathtub for bathing, then go up the mountain to cut trees and come back to make one.

"Brother Jun, does our house have a bathtub for bathing?"

"Do you want to take a bath?"

Throughout the year, Jun Wulan takes a bath by standing in the yard at night and showering with water, without using a tub at all. In this cold winter, Mo Liang and Jun Yiluo only use hot water to wipe their bodies and do not take a bath, so he does not need a bath at all. I never thought that the house would need a bathtub, and the original owner used to fetch hot water to wipe his body in the main house before, and never asked him for a bathtub.

Shen Qingcheng was extremely thin-skinned in front of Jun Wulan. When Jun Wulan asked this, her cheeks turned a little red, and she responded with a nervous face: "I haven't taken a bath since winter, and I feel a little sweaty. It's hard."

"There is a bathtub in the attic left by the owner in front of this house. You can only find out if you can take it down and see it."

Jun Wulan heated up the fire in the stove, got up and went to the stove, washed the big iron pot clean, filled the big iron pot with clean water, and then turned and went out.

You have to climb a ladder to go up to the attic, and this night, Jun Wulan was injured again, Shen Qingcheng was afraid that he would bump into the wound and touch the wound again, so she picked up the tung oil lamp on the stove and followed him out.

Watching Jun Wulan climb up slowly with the simple wooden ladder, Shen Qingcheng raised her head with a tung oil lamp and looked worried, and reminded from time to time: "Brother Jun, be careful, and pay more attention to not slipping on your feet." , and pay attention to your injuries."

Listening to Shen Qingcheng rambling below, Jun Wulan felt extraordinarily happy tonight.

Seeing Jun Wulan carrying the tub down the stairs and stepping on the ground with both feet, Shen Qingcheng felt relieved.

"This tub is pretty big."

Shen Qingcheng looked down at the bathtub covered with cobwebs and said something casually, Jun Wulan couldn't help thinking wrong when he heard such words.

The bathtub is large, suitable for a mandarin duck bath.

The words "Yuanyangyu" came to Jun Wulan's mind, and Jun Wulan immediately became red-faced.

Shen Qingcheng raised her head and saw that his face was terribly red, worried that the infection of the wound on his back caused the fever, so she reached out to touch his forehead.

"Your forehead is not hot, Brother Jun, why is your face so red all of a sudden?"

Jun Wulan was thinking about the mandarin duck bath, when she was caught off guard by Shen Qingcheng's soft hand, her heart trembled slightly.

"I'm fine."

Fearing that Shen Qingcheng would discover his dirty thoughts just now, he picked up the tub and strode towards the kitchen.

Shen Qingcheng saw that he was walking like flying with such a big bathtub, and he didn't look like he was sick, so he dispelled the worries just now and hurried to catch up with the oil lamp.

Hearing the sound of Shen Qingcheng's footsteps entering the kitchen, Jun Wulan took a wooden ladle and poured water into the tub, not daring to look up at Shen Qingcheng's face.
