Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 102 Taking Clothes

Now in winter, there was no fire in the cabin next door, so Xu Qing soaked the tofu in a bowl of cold water and could freeze it overnight.

It won’t be a problem if you wait until New Year’s Day to eat it.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sha Zhu ran over with ten pieces of freshly made tofu, grinned at Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, Yushui and I will join forces at your house for lunch."

While talking, Shazhu ran directly into the kitchen with the tofu, regardless of whether Xu Qing answered or not.

The three little ones followed in and were shocked when they saw Shazhu using his kitchen knife to cut four pieces of steaming tofu into small pieces in an instant. .

Silly Zhu looked at the three stunned little fellows, with a smug expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a large piece of tofu, while cutting, he looked at Xu Aiguo and said:

"Boy, go to my house and get sesame oil."

Xu Aiguo hummed, turned around and ran out.

After a while, Xu Aiguo came back panting and holding a small bottle.

At this time, Silly Zhu cut six green onions and sprinkled them one by one into the bowl that Xu Fengming had just taken out. Then he took the sesame oil handed over by Xu Aiguo and dropped two drops into each bowl.

Finally, cut the tofu into small pieces and put it into a bowl.Let three little guys carry two bowls each to the front room.

Xu Qing was still helping Yu Shui with homework in the front room. He raised his eyebrows when he saw his younger siblings coming over with six bowls of cut tofu.

Immediately afterwards, Silly Zhu also emerged from the kitchen, grinning and saying:

"Qingzi, Yuyu, you two stop reading and eat the tofu while it's hot."

"By the way, mix it first. The sesame oil and chopped green onion are all at the bottom of the bowl." Silly Zhu said, sitting at the table, picking up a bowl, holding the chopsticks, and started eating while stirring. .

Xu Qing looked down at the tofu in the bowl in his hand, and suddenly realized that it was really tofu mixed with green onions, one green and two white.

But in the mouth, the taste is really good.

Especially the tofu is freshly made and extremely delicious, plus it only contains green onions and a little sesame oil.

It tastes not only unique, but also very refreshing.

The thick bean flavor lingers between the lips and teeth, coupled with the light spiciness of shallots and the oily aroma of sesame oil, it’s not to mention delicious.

Xu Qing finished the meal in less than 2 minutes, looked up at Silly Zhu, and thought to himself: No wonder the old saying goes, chefs are the best at eating, and it is true.

Although there are not many things, and the seasoning is very simple, but when you eat it in your mouth, it makes people have endless aftertaste.

While eating, Silly Zhu bared his teeth and said to Xu Qing:
"Don't look down on this one. Many people make it taste bad. Only tofu sellers know that if you want to eat it properly, you have to put as little seasoning as possible. Tofu must be freshly made. This thing If you let it cool down, the taste will change immediately."

Xu Qing has been educated today, he has never tasted this kind of tofu.

He Yuyu glanced at Shazhu at this moment, and a smile instantly appeared on his delicate face.

After finishing the tofu, Silly Zhu looked satisfied. He took out a cigarette, handed one to Xu Qing, then crossed his legs and started smoking.

The little girl and Xu Fengming also finished the tofu in their respective bowls, and pestered Silly Zhu to want to eat more.

Sha Zhu waved his hands deliberately teasing: "No, I eat it once a year, if I want to eat it again, I will talk about it next year."

Xu Fengming pursed his lips. Seeing that Silly Zhu refused to do it anymore, he took the little girl and ran to the stove to play.

After smoking a cigarette, Shazhu stood up and said to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, put away the leftovers from the kitchen, and eat with your brothers and sisters."

"I still have a lot in my house." Silly Zhu continued: "If you don't have enough food at home, come over and get it. Don't show up."

Xu Qing thanked, sent Sha Zhu and Yu Shui away, returned to the house, packed up the dishes of several people, and took them into the kitchen.

Xu Qing saw the five pieces of tofu on the chopping board, bent down and took out a large enamel basin from the cabinet, put them all in, then scooped up cold water and let them soak in it.

After cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Qing held the enamel basin with both hands and wanted to put it in the next door cabin.

Seeing the sesame oil bottle suddenly, Xu Qing called his second brother Xu Aiguo in and asked him to leave the house with the sesame oil bottle.

After the second brother unlocked the door of the next room, Xu Qing asked him to rush the sesame oil bottle to the middle courtyard and send it back to Sha Zhu.

Early in the morning, it is already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only three days left before the Spring Festival.

The New Year atmosphere in Sijiu City is getting more and more full, and everyone in the compound got up early today.

Whether it's the front yard, the middle yard, or the back yard, you can see that every house is busy.

Xu Qing steamed a pot of steamed buns early in the morning, after having breakfast with the three little ones.

Xu Qing boiled two pots of hot water and asked his second and third brothers to take a bath in the house.

As for the little girl, Xu Qing took it to the silly pillar room in the middle courtyard and asked He Yushui to wash it for her.

After Shazhu boiled hot water for Yushui and the little girl in the house, he went to sit at the uncle's house.

The rain bolted the door from the inside, drew the curtains, and started cleaning with the little girl.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing saw a bicycle parked in front of Xu Damao's house, so he went to borrow it, so that he could go to the tailor's shop to pick up clothes for San Xiaozhi.

When I went to the tailor shop a few days ago, I agreed to pick it up today, and it would be 29 tomorrow. If I didn't pick it up, I would probably go there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the shop would be closed.

At this time, Xu Damao was packing his things in the house and preparing to go to his parents' house to celebrate the New Year.

He was the only one in the room, calm and quiet, naturally it was not interesting, and he was too lazy to cook by himself.

Seeing Xu Qing coming over, Xu Damao handed him a cigarette and said, "Qingzi, is something wrong?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Brother Da Mao, I want to borrow your bicycle to fetch some clothes for my younger brothers and sisters."

Xu Damao frowned, scratched his hair and said:
"Qingzi, if you don't do this, I've just packed my things and plan to go to my parents' house to celebrate the New Year. I'll take you to get your clothes first, and you can walk back by yourself later, okay?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Success."

After the decision was made, Xu Damao took two bags of things, placed them on the crossbar in front of the bicycle, and took Xu Qing towards the middle courtyard.

When passing the middle court, Xu Qing called out to Sha Zhu.

"Brother Silly Zhu, I'm going to help my younger siblings and Yu Shui get clothes."

Silly Zhu almost forgot about it, and when he heard Xu Qing's words, he wanted to go with him.

But seeing something on the crossbar of Xu Damao's bicycle, he had no choice but to give up and wait in the courtyard.

There are more people on the street today than the previous two days, and it is more lively.

The small vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the street have been doing very well these days.

Xu Qing sat in the back seat, looked at the people all over the street, and felt the strong flavor of the year that belonged to this era.

Xu Damao was riding a bicycle, leading Xu Qing along the street towards the tailor's shop, while constantly ringing the bell.
