Zhulan took a piece of pork belly stewed with sauerkraut, two spare ribs and several pieces of spine. The ribs were for the children and the spine was for the adults to chew. Add that to the stuffed blood sausage, and it became a relatively rich pig-killing dish.
Rongchuan has also cleaned up the yard, and there is no trace of pig blood. This child is meticulous in his work. Zhulan feels bad when she sees Rongchuan's hands turned red from the cold. Her two sons are studying in the house, but this boy has never been idle outside. Zhulan also sent Rongchuan back to study and didn't need to help, but Rongchuan was not confident enough. If Zhulan hadn't stopped him and said that it was for the sake of health, Rongchuan would have wanted to take over all the housework.
Rong Chuan put away the broom and rubbed his hands which were both painful and itchy, "Aunt, I'm going back to study."
Zhulan knew from her memory that frostbite was very common in ancient times, and she didn't want to suffer from it in particular. Rongchuan's frostbite was quite serious, but unfortunately she didn't study medicine, and was like an idiot when it came to some life skills. She didn't know any folk remedies, so she could only remember them in her mind and go to the county town to find a Chinese doctor to prescribe some medicine.
Zhulan: "Okay."
Rongchuan went back to his room happily. He felt especially happy now. There was no beating or scolding. He had his own room, slept on a warm kang, wore warm clothes, and could read the book he had been longing for. It took him a long time to adapt before he was sure that it was not a dream. Thinking of Xue Han again, his ears turned red.
Aunt Zheng next door always talks about him and Xue Han. The villagers didn't believe it at first, but slowly they began to believe the rumor that he was a child husband. He was very nervous at first, but as time went by, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou never explained. He was not a stupid man, and he understood something in his heart. He never dared to look at Xue Han, and slowly he paid attention to Xue Han. Rong Chuan patted his cheek and continued to recite the book with a smile on his face.
Zhulan's family stewed a big pot of sauerkraut at noon, but unfortunately there was no vermicelli. In the end, Zhulan underestimated the Zhou family's stomachs and ate the whole pot of sauerkraut. She was afraid that the sauerkraut would not survive the New Year if they ate it this way.
I took another piece of meat and stewed it in the afternoon. This time I added steamed blood sausage and it became more fragrant.
Zhulan's house is filled with the smell of meat all day long. From time to time, people pass by the door to smell the aroma, and some children can't help but lie down at the door. Zhulan has bad intentions, but she can't start this habit. If it starts, it will never end. Besides, with more children coming to their house, everyone in the village knows what they eat. Isn't this a blatant show of wealth
Showing off your wealth is not acceptable. Being low-key is the right thing to do.
Li took the meat back to her parents' home and came back soon. She did not come back empty-handed, but brought back a pound of mutton.
Zhulan knew the price of mutton in ancient times. Because mutton is good for the body and several times more nutritious than pork, one pound costs twenty-five coins. It is even more expensive in winter, and can reach thirty coins at high times. "It's too expensive. Send it back quickly."
Li knew that her father had followed her father-in-law to the south of the Yangtze River, and she also knew that all the kimchi in the family was sold to the escort company in one go. Because the family had stored a lot of cabbage and the cost was low, they made ten taels of silver from the kimchi alone, not to mention that her father had sold cabbages when he went to the south of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, grandma said that she got 20% of the money that my father earned from selling the family, and the whole family was grateful to her. In the past, her sister-in-law didn't like her when she went home, but since she gave her the recipe for spicy cabbage last time, her sister-in-law has become much closer to her, and this time she is even more flattering to her, and she stands very straight in her mother's home.
Mrs. Li knew that she would have a sum of money coming in, and her husband's family helped her family make money, so she spoke very confidently, "Mom, it's not expensive. Mom and Dad have helped my family a lot, so it's only natural that you can give me anything. If I were to say, even one kilogram is not enough, so you should give me at least ten kilograms."
Zhulan laughed, look at how arrogant Li is, his tail is even up in the sky!
