Chapter 281

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, took a step forward and put the sling of copper coins in Zheng Po's hand, and said with a cheerful smile: "Zheng Po, why don't you take it quickly, I'll be there later I’ll bring you a box of stewed pork offal, don’t hold it against me, my stewed pig offal tastes as good as stewed pork.”

"Look at you, the shopkeeper, you are really too polite!"

That's what Grandma Zheng said, but she didn't hesitate in the movements of her hands. She quickly took the hanging copper coin, put it in her arms and patted it.

"I'm not being polite. We are considered to be in the same business. We all open our doors to do business. In the future, I will have to rely on Mrs. Zheng to take care of my business."

Mu Daiyao said with a smile, and in a few words, she drew Mrs. Zheng to her side.

Seeing Mu Daiyao being so upbeat, Mrs. Zheng was not that kind of ignorant fool, so she said bluntly to her: "Shopkeeper, I won't hide it from you, that girl is exactly what you described, and besides her is a Standing there is another girl who is also well-born, but she doesn't look very good, so she doesn't come from a wealthy family."

So Ruan Hantong was the one who punished her, Mu Daiyao slightly lowered her eyes, and understood.

As for the girl next to her, how could she look so much like Ji Zhiqiu from this description?

It's just that Mu Daiyao doesn't quite understand why Ji Zhiqiu's face doesn't look like a wealthy one because he was also born in a lucky family.

But this doubt just flashed in Mu Daiyao's mind, she didn't go into it any more, but she did what she said, and gave Zheng Po a box full of stewed pigs into the water, making Zheng Po greedy. I can't wait to pick up a few pieces on the spot to try something new.

After dealing with this matter without any surprise or danger, Mu Daiyao only felt exhausted physically and mentally.

After the shop opened on this day, there were constant disturbances, at first she thought it was just a coincidence, bad luck, but now it seemed that it was clear that Ruan Hantong was stumbling her behind her back, trying to make things difficult for her.

Mu Daiyao closed the shop door wearily, stood in a daze at the back door for a while, then patted the dust off her body, ready to go home.

In the end, after walking a few steps, she saw the bullock cart driver from yesterday again. She was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why is it you again?"

The bullock cart driver touched the back of his head, smiled innocently, and said, "Hey, Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji asked me to come. He said that after he hired me, he would come to pick you up at this hour every day. Come up quickly. It looks like the weather is going to change."

Mu Daiyao raised her eyebrows, "Ji Zhixu?"

"Ah, Master Ji."

The bullock cart driver didn't know what Master Ji's name was, anyway, he was paid to hire him, so he just worked.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing this, Mu Daiyao was not polite, and jumped into the bullock cart. It just so happened that she didn't want to leave today, and the weather in the past few days might snow at any time, so it's better to go home as soon as possible.

After all, the speed of the bullock cart was much faster than that of a person walking, and soon Mu Daiyao was sent back home.

Looking at the ox cart going away, thinking that she may need to ride an ox cart every day in the future, the cost is not too small, so Mu Daiyao decided to go to the place where cattle are sold in Washi to have a look. The idea of ​​buying a cow back by myself.

However, the price of buying a cow is not cheap, and Mu Daiyao doesn't have that much spare money at the moment, so let's make plans later.

Thinking of this, Mu Daiyao shook her head with some pity, temporarily put the thought behind her, turned around, opened the courtyard door, and entered the house.

Tired from busy work during the day, Mu Daiyao doesn't want to bother with cooking when she comes home at night. In addition, there are meat, vegetables, and fruits at home. Otherwise, I will ask Mu Daiyao to go to Washi. But not very willing.

She saw that the night in November was extremely cold, so she had a flash of inspiration, so she decided to make a pot of miscellaneous food to eat, which can warm her body and is easy to make.

The sorghum wine brewed earlier in the cellar should be able to be taken out to drink. Mu Daiyao told Ji Xiukai to go down to the cellar with his elder brother to scoop up two jugs, which can be eaten with a pot later.

Seeing that he could eat delicious food, Ji Xiukai naturally didn't have any objections, and happily ran to call his elder brother Ji Xiuping.

The most important thing is to see if the spices at the bottom of the pot can be fried to produce a good taste. Mu Daiyao has done it many times in her previous life, and now she is very familiar with mixing the spices at the bottom of the pot.

Take some chili powder in the stove, mix it with crushed peanuts, cumin powder, salt, and minced garlic, and pour it into a large iron pot. The lard has been prepared in the stove before. , mixed together and fried over high heat.

After frying the aroma, add Mu Daiyao's homemade stewed soup and put it aside to let it cool.

Then Mu Daiyao took out the meat and vegetables, cut them separately, placed them on several large plates, and brought them out.

The fruit was also cut and placed in a big bowl. After making these preparations, Mu Daiyao called out to the children to come over for dinner.

"what is this?"

Ji Xiukai scratched his head and asked subconsciously.

The little bastards of the Ji family had never eaten such a novelty, so they sat down obediently and stared at the big iron pot placed in the middle of the wooden table. On the top, put two pieces of charcoal fire and keep burning underneath.

The plates of raw meat and lettuce next to them really made them wonder what to do.

There are only two things that can be eaten directly, one is fruit, and the other is the two pots of hot sorghum wine.

"Hot pot of chowder."

Mu Daiyao did not introduce in detail, but just sat down first.

"How do you eat this thing? Is it delicious?"

Ji Xiukai asked one after another, and Mu Daiyao was not impatient, she just pointed to the inside of the stove, and said lightly: "If you are not used to eating, there are marinated pigs in the stove, you can eat them .”

"Cut, I've eaten that pig in the water for countless times. I'm tired of it, sir. I just like this kind of new thing."

Seeing Mu Daiyao's calm look, Ji Xiukai didn't want to be looked down upon, so he just sat down carelessly, stared at Mu Daiyao, and watched how she would eat this mixed pot.

The charcoal fire made the pungent smell in the iron pot continuously pour out along with the white mist, and the smell made people move their index fingers.

Mu Daiyao added some water to it, fearing that the smell of the pot would be too strong and the children would not be used to it.

Originally, if I were more particular, I could add chicken soup that had been boiled all day, and the taste would be even more fragrant.
