Yu Xiaocao was not happy: "Auntie, who are you saying is pretending to be sick? My mother fainted yesterday, you didn't see it! You are so good at hand and foot, you have reason to ask a patient to help you Are you pretending to be sick, please Grandpa You will know at a glance!"
Mrs. Zhang, who was nestled in the house, couldn't sit still when she heard the words: "Li Guihua, you lazy woman! When it's time to cook, you don't see anyone, but now you know you're back! What are you doing? What are you doing? Why don't you help out in the kitchen?"
Please doctor, it must not cost money!
Mrs. Zhang walked to the door of the kitchen, and said to Liu Muyun who was busy inside, "Hurry up and go back to the house and rest, your daughter loves you so much!"
"Is there any girl who doesn't love her mother? Mother, sit down, and I'll help you serve the food!" The young girl Yu Caidie came out, and she and the third child Yu Bo were the only ones in the house who could comfort the old lady.
When Mrs. Zhang turned her head and saw the seafood in the hands of Yu Hai and his son, her face turned cloudy, and she immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Give me the bucket! These seafood are very fresh. Let them be raised overnight, and they will be released tomorrow morning." Your eldest brother can also exchange some money for the restaurant in the town."
"Grandma, save some oysters for steaming! I want to taste something!" Yu Xiaocao said intentionally.
Zhang's face suddenly fell, and he said displeasedly: "You haven't eaten too much! The sea oysters sell for a few cents a catty in the town, and you won't feel bad if you eat them!"
It was also Yu Hai who was watching from the side, or what Zhang said would be even worse. She called her daughter over, and even carried the kegs in the hands of Yu Hang brothers and sisters to her room. Anything that can be exchanged for money must be tightly held in his own hands.
Turning around, she saw the bamboo basket in Yu Xiaocao's hand, pouted her lips, and said, "I have the one in your hand, bring it in for me too."
Xiaocao pursed her lips, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, you took away all the seafood. I only have half a basket of kelp and sea cabbage, and I can't sell it for a few copper coins. Just save it for grandpa to make some cold dishes for dinner at night!" "
Mrs. Zhang stretched out her head to look, and it turned out to be green kelp. She said kindly, "It's just this once! From now on, everything in the family will be in my hands, and you are not allowed to make up your own mind!"
Yu Xiaocao agreed, and when Mrs. Zhang entered the main room, she winked at Xiaolian and went into the west room with a small basket.
Yu Xiaolian comprehended and took an old earthen jar from the corner of the kitchen, filled it with some water, and quietly entered the room after the little girl.
The two sisters carefully put the abalone hidden under the kelp into the earthen pot. It was impossible to sell it today, so Yu Xiaocao added some spirit stone water to it without worrying about it, stuffed the jar into a hidden place in the corner of the kang, and then came out again with kelp.
Yu Hai followed in and saw the small movements of the two sisters. In the past, Xiao Lian was a little thorn in the family, and even Mrs. Zhang dared to stand up to her when she was in a hurry, and she was often scolded and beaten for it. Now Xiaocao's temperament is not too much, but he has more tricks and courage, and abalone with a few taels of silver is ambiguous.
In the kitchen, Liu Shi has almost cooked dinner. Yu Xiaocao went in, quickly mixed garlic and kelp shreds, and made sea cabbage soup. The dinner was much richer than usual.
When eating, the men and women of the Yu family still sit separately. On the woman's side, each person has a big black pancake, boiled vegetables with only some salt, and a bowl of bean soup.
The staple food for the men is white flour, millet flour, and potato flour mixed together, and there is no limit to the steamed buns made of three-in-one noodles. It has nothing to do with male superiority and female inferiority. Men do physical work, so what if they don't eat well
The salty, fresh and slightly spicy garlic kelp shreds and the original sea cabbage soup cooked by Yu Xiaocao have won unanimous praise from everyone. Especially the old Yutou, who praised the garlic and seaweed shreds fiercely.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't see the slightest complacency in Erfang, and said while eating kelp shreds, "The second girl is quite capable, she can follow the sea and help cook. Doctor You said that she is already in good health." Now, I think Xiaozao can stop in the future.”
Xiaocao was holding her own delicious rice porridge, and she was drinking happily with Xiaoshitou, and her face grew long when she heard this. In the future, she will also eat pancakes made of pure coarse grains that make her throat hurt, and bean soup that is hard to swallow. well! O painful torment! Fortunately, those abalones were not confiscated! !
Xiaocao's expression seemed to please Mrs. Zhang, and she seemed to relish eating the whole grain cake. She also ate most of the plate of shredded kelp.
Mrs. Li and her obese son just focused on stuffing vegetables into their mouths, and the other half of the kelp shreds and sea cabbage soup went into the stomachs of the two women. When the plate bottomed out, she picked up her son who wanted to go to the man's table, and sneaked back to the house.
Xiaocao knew that the two of them were eating alone again.
When Mrs. Li first married, her family was poor, otherwise she would not have married the stepson of the Yu family who was also poor. A few years ago, her natal brothers made money in small businesses, and the family situation improved. Li Shi is the younger sister and the only daughter of the old couple. So every time I go home, my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law will make up for it. Or, with the Yu family's food, can the fat of these two girls be raised
After dinner, there is nothing to say all night!
The next day, it was just dawn. Xiwu Yuhai's family got up on the kang.
Yu Hai makes an appointment with Zhao Orion to go hunting in the mountains. Brother and sister Yu Hang and Yu Xiaolian used to go to the foot of the mountain to hunt pigweed and gather firewood at this time. Mrs. Liu was already in the yard, cleaning the chicken pen and pig pen with a broom.
The family members were surprised that Yu Xiaocao got up so early. Yu Hai touched her little head, and said with a smile, "Sleep a little longer, it's not yet dawn!"
Yu Xiaocao had one big thing in mind, so she couldn't sleep, she smiled and said to her father: "Little Shitou can help with the work, how can I be lazy as a sister? Dad, hurry up, don't be lazy." Let Uncle Zhao wait for a long time."
Yu Hai didn't delay any longer, took the paper package that contained two steamed buns with three-sided noodles from Liu's hand, put the water bag on his waist, and went out the door with a homemade bow and hunting fork.
Yu Xiaocao took out the earthen pot that was hidden yesterday from the bottom of the kang, and the abalone in it became more fresh under the nourishment of Lingshi water.
Abalones of this quality can only be sold at a good price if they are brought to a big restaurant. But she just came here not long ago, and she never left the village, so how would she know the way to the city
"Brother, is our village far from the town?" Yu Xiaocao hugged the earthen jar, took advantage of the fact that the main house and the east house were not lit, and followed Yu Hang brothers and sisters out the door.
Yu Hang glanced at her in surprise, and asked, "It's quite far away, and it takes more than an hour to walk—why are you asking this? Don't you want to sell this in the town?" As he spoke, he pointed at her. crock in hand.
More than an hour? That must be at least two hours! Yu Xiaocao looked down at her short legs, sighed, and said, "Then, does our village have any carriages and ox carts going to town?"
