The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 490: Stewed Goose in an Iron Pot (Two Chapters in One)

The sky had already darkened, and the grandparents and grandchildren returned home under the gray sky.

After entering the house, Shi Liu handed the full basket of leeks in her hand to Sui Lu and asked her to take it to the kitchen and make some scrambled eggs with leeks.

The leeks are fresh and tender, and very fragrant.

In the kitchen, Song had been stewing the goose over a high fire for more than an hour. It was soft and ready to be served soon. She then chopped up the washed leeks, beat the eggs and stirred them, then heated oil in another pan to fry the eggs...

Shi Liu went back to the attic and used the toilet to wash her hands. Then she strolled to the main hall at the entrance of the courtyard. The food was already on the table.

They were all family, so there was no need to be so particular about separating the tables for men and women. Both Li Rongzong and his brother were not at home, and Lin was still in confinement after giving birth, so the confinement meals had been delivered to her room a long time ago. Song stewed the big goose, without adding any spices, but it was still full of the original flavor, so she also served her a bowl of it.

They sat at a large round table, with Old Yuan and Old Man Li at the top, followed by Song and Li Jihe. Next to Li Jihe sat Li Rongzhang, next to Li Rongzhang sat Shi Liu, next to Shi Liu sat Huang Chunni. Between Huang Chunni and Song sat a baby chair, with Baozhu sitting inside.

One-year-old Baozhu was already able to eat by herself. She took her own small wooden bowl and spoon to the table, and had egg custard with soft rice. Song also picked up two pieces of soft goose meat for her, pure meat without any bones.

There were two goose legs. Old Man Li took the lead and picked up one and put it into the pomegranate bowl.

Because it was not touching Pomegranate, he stood up and passed it to her. Seeing this, Pomegranate hurriedly stood up with the bowl and went forward to take it.

The other goose leg was given to Lin, who was in confinement, but Old Man Li also quickly picked up a fat goose wing for Li Rongzhang, because except for Baozhu, they were the youngest siblings here.

Of course, Old Mrs. Yuan was not going to stand by and watch him feel sorry for his grandchildren, so she immediately took action and picked up the shark fin with the wings attached and put it into Huang Chunni's bowl.

Huang Chunni was flattered by Grandma Xie. She was the granddaughter of the head of the village and had never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child. Although her family was not as well-off as the Li family, it was also well-off. However, it could not compare to the atmosphere of the Li family, where grandparents loved their younger generations so much. She was envious and felt that she had married the right family.

Old Yuan wanted to put the other chicken wing into Song's bowl, as she had worked so hard today.

But Song picked up the wing root and said, "Mom, you eat it. I like this!"

As he said this, he picked up the goose paw and put it into the bowl.

Although we have lived a good life for such a long time, everyone still believes that, whether it is chicken, duck or goose, the legs are the best, followed by the meat, such as the claws, which have no meat, just skin and bones, and are the worst.

But when Shi Liu looked at the soft goose feet, he really wanted to say that goose feet were the best thing and would not get stuck in teeth.

But the goose leg given by her grandfather was full of love, and she couldn't bear to exchange it for goose feet.

He just watched helplessly as his mother took a bite, and several claws went into her mouth. What she spat out were only clean bones.

Shi Liu clearly saw the little expression on her face, it was obvious that she liked it.

Well, her mother also secretly understood the beauty of claws.

The eight or nine-pound goose was eaten up completely in the end. It was stewed so soft that even Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Yuan had no trouble eating it. Baozhu also ate several pieces and kept clamoring for more. Mrs. Song was afraid that she would get an upset stomach from the food, so she asked Acui to take her downstairs to play with the dolls before she even left the table.

She ate a lot of pomegranates, mainly because Old Man Li was looking at her and kept telling her to eat more. The leeks were so fresh that she couldn't resist using her chopsticks. As a result, she accidentally ate a little more.

After the meal, I felt so full that I walked slowly back to the third courtyard, strolled around the garden for a long time, and asked Sui Lu to make hawthorn tea for me to drink, which made me feel better.

But he didn't plan to go to bed early. Although he was rushing home today, he didn't feel tired after wandering around Luoshui City last night. He washed up, changed his clothes, put on a warm pullover, and then went into the small study in the east room to prepare to draw the blueprints.

She still cherished her good eyes in this life, so she asked Sui Lu to light a few more lights to illuminate the room.

The drawings that he had previously given to his second sister-in-law were all simple drawings of small animals. Now Shi Liu took the charcoal pencil and started working quickly. After a short while, he had drawn quite a few drawings.

Then I mixed the paint and colored them all so that when I do it later I can just follow this color scheme, otherwise the effect will not be achieved.

Take the pink little rabbit today for example. If she didn't color it, it would just be a rabbit. Of course, the rabbits that Second Sister-in-law had seen wouldn't be pink, and the fabric she chose would either be white or gray, which wouldn't make the rabbit look cute.

My second sister-in-law was talking about this today. She said she was wondering when she was making it. How could it be a rabbit but stand like a human and have the same color? She had never seen a rabbit like this before. But after making it this way and filling it with cotton, she inexplicably felt that this is how a rabbit should be cute.

Pomegranate couldn't help but smile and picked up the drawing with dried colors to look at it.

There are black and white zebras, brown and red monkeys, black and white pandas, blue Stitch, green flying dragon dinosaurs, big white geese with flowery hats, pink strawberry bears, and big green turtles...

They are all relatively large, the kind that can be hugged or used as a pillow.

Sui Lu came in quietly and said softly, "Miss, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed?"

Shi Liu suddenly realized how sleepy she was and yawned, "What time is it?"

"It's almost five quarters past midnight."

Shi Liu was startled. No wonder he felt so sleepy. It was so late. It was already past ten o'clock at night. In his previous life, the nightlife had not started at this time yet. But in all the years he had been in this world, he had never been awake so late.

Shi Liu quickly stacked the drawings and put them in a box, went to the toilet to wash his hands, lay down in bed, and fell asleep in seconds.

I slept until dawn and woke up feeling refreshed. Although I went to bed late, I did not wake up in the middle of the night. I got up at seven o'clock and had slept for eight hours.

After getting up and drinking some warm water to moisten his throat, Shi Liu put on a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, clenched his fists and ran outside. He jogged around the garden and the attic five times, and then started to practice boxing in the open space in front of the attic.

Baozhu slept with Song and went to bed early and got up early every day. Song was worried about her daughter, so she carried Baozhu and strolled to the back.

As soon as Baozhu saw her aunt, she waved her hands, but her aunt didn't hug her. She just smiled at her and continued to punch. Her humming and hawing made Baozhu so fascinated that no one knew what she was thinking.

Shi Liu looked at her sparkling eyes, which were just like the ones she saw when she saw something she liked. She seemed to have sensed something and asked her with a smile, "Baozhu, do you want to learn?"

"Learn, learn." Baozhu waved his fist.

"Ha, wait until you are two years older and I will teach you!" Pomegranate smiled brightly and responded.

As a girl, it’s good to learn some self-defense skills!
The flexibility skills that Master Huangshan taught her are suitable for girls. Well, if Baozhu starts practicing at the age of three, the effect will definitely be better.

Baozhu waved her arms in joy, but Song said angrily, "She's already as tough as a boy, and you're still teaching her boxing. Wouldn't she destroy our house?"

Pomegranate laughed: "How can that be possible!"

Later on, Shi Liu held his forehead with his hands, feeling a little regretful.

It's a good thing for a girl to know some self-defense skills, but it's not a good thing if the girl is too talented and hates evil.

But at the moment, Shi Liu has no idea about the future, or the series of great deeds her precious niece will do. She is looking forward to Baozhu growing up quickly so that she can become a martial arts master and teach her niece herself.

After a set of punches, Shi Liu was sweating slightly. Song was afraid that she would catch a cold if exposed to the wind, so she hurriedly urged her to go back to her room to wipe herself and change clothes.

Shi Liu returned to her room, changed her clothes, washed herself thoroughly, and put on her undershirt. Yusuo and Yinsuo had already brought her several sets of clothes for her to choose from.

Since they came to Shi Liu, they have not been idle. They have been making clothes since they got the cloth. They have made clothes of various patterns and patterns. Each set of clothes is exquisite and beautiful. Unfortunately, Shi Liu has been busy outside and rarely stays at home. She has not even seen many clothes, let alone worn them. The clothes must be worn after they are made, so the clothes they brought are considered new clothes, thinking that it would be better for the girl to wear a different set of clothes every day when she is at home.

Shi Liu looked at the newly made clothes and thought that her own clothes and jewelry should at least be stored in the storehouse. Her stepmother Wang alone had made a lot of them for her, and she sent her several sets every season, never missing a single one.

There are so many clothes that I can’t wear them all.

She picked the one in the middle, a red silk jacket with a cross collar and a silver-patterned pleated skirt. "Let's wear this one. There's no sun today and the sky is gloomy. It's so eye-catching. Who made this?"

Yinsuo bent her legs slightly, with a look of joy on her face, "Reply young lady, I did it."

"The craftsmanship is excellent. The other clothes are also very good. I have been wearing them one after another these days. Yinsuo and Yusuo, you have worked hard, you deserve a reward." As she said this, she asked Shi Hong, who was in charge of hairpins and jewelry, to take out two hairpins from her box and give them to the two of them.

Naturally, there was nothing missing from her jewelry box.

The two of them hurriedly thanked him for the reward.

Soon, Shi Liu put on the dress and sat in front of the dressing table. Yun Su then came forward to comb her hair.

When it comes to combing hair, Nian Xia is still the best, but when Nian Xia is not around, Yun Su takes over.

Yunsu is the daughter of Chaihu, the head of Lizhuang Village in Xiangning County. She, Baicui and Juxiang were all called here by Shiliu before, just to meet Jiang and see if they could fall in love with each other.

Fortunately, after these few months, everyone has found what they want.

However, something unexpected happened in Erli Village, and Jiang Bingjiang and Ma Xiwen both had to observe mourning, so the marriage was temporarily delayed. It would not be too late to get the marriage done after the mourning period is over next year.

However, because Fudong, Xichun and Nianxia were not there, Shiliu left Baicui and the others here to temporarily take over their duties.

Now, there are two or three warehouses of different sizes in her yard, and they all need someone to manage them.

Looking in the bronze mirror, Yunsu's fingers flew and she quickly combed her hair into a bun. Shi Liu looked at her and said, "Just wear the pair of peach pink butterfly hairpins."

Upon hearing the voice, Shi Hong immediately went to her jewelry box and found the pair of butterfly hairpins. She inserted them into the left and right buns, which matched her red jacket perfectly.

Pomegranate nodded with satisfaction and took Bai Cui forward.

Before leaving the attic, she asked Sui Lu to take the jade lock and silver lock in the morning to sort out all the clothes she had worn, including those that she had worn but were still in good condition, and she planned to give them away.

They will just gather dust if left alone, so it's better to give them away. They are all good clothes, it would be a shame to let them gather dust.

When we arrived at the front yard, Mrs. Fan was already waiting there, drinking tea and chatting with Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yuan.

As soon as Shi Liu entered, the eyes of the women in the room lit up.

Fan immediately praised her, "Shi Liu looks so beautiful in her outfit today. When I first saw her, I thought she was a fairy who had walked into the wrong place! This dress is so beautifully made."

I heard that there were two little girls who specially made clothes for Shi Liu. I guess this is the clothes. The embroidery skills are even better than hers.

Old Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Song also kept nodding their heads. With others around, they couldn't boast about themselves, but they couldn't hide the pride on their faces. Their granddaughter/daughter was so pretty!

Shi Liu blushed slightly, "How can you say that so exaggeratedly, Grandmother? I just want to visit Patriarch Fan's house, so I have to dress up properly. This will make me appear more polite."

Fan understood what she meant. If she went to the opposite side, she might bump into her cousin's wife. Even though she hadn't entered the house yet, it was a done deal. Which daughter-in-law wouldn't be nervous when meeting her parents-in-law? Dress up well. That's normal.

Shi Liu knew at a glance that she was overthinking, but she didn't ask any more questions, "Did Aunt Zu have breakfast?"

"Eat, eat!"

"Then let's go now." said Pomegranate.

The two of them went out together, followed by Patrizia carrying two stacked boxes.

Although it was not the first time to visit Patriarch Fan's house, it would be impolite not to bring something with you, so Shi Liu brought two cans of tea. It was heard that Patriarch Fan was also a tea lover.

Next time it’s not far away, so there’s no need to take a car, you can just walk there.

The three of them got off the stone bridge, walked a short distance, and went straight up the official road. On the right was the entrance to Shanghe Village, and on the left was the newly built Xiahe Village Weifeng Express Station.

A guy was lighting a stove in the shed. Although it was estimated that there would be only one caravan passing by and stopping here in three days, it was unpredictable that there would be no caravans, so the stove was lit every day and hot water was prepared.
As they had to light a stove, Shi Liu taught the substations how to cook tea eggs. The convoys that were passing by were in a hurry, so each person could carry two tea eggs and eat them on the way, which was delicious.

The guy saw Pomegranate from afar and greeted him.

Li Rongsong inside heard the noise and hurried out to see what was going on.

"Pomegranate, Aunt Ancestor."

"Cousin, I'm going to Shanghe Village and will come back to talk to you." Shi Liu responded and turned into the village road of Shanghe Village.

During the winter, when they entered Shanghe Village, many people greeted Fan and kept looking at Shi Liu. They were thick-skinned and greeted her as if she was familiar with them. People from other places just smiled at Shi Liu, but most of them just stared at her.

When the three of them passed by, they inevitably gathered together and whispered.

"The clothes that Pomegranate wears are so beautiful, just like those of a girl from a wealthy city!"

"I also went to the engagement ceremony for Meng Ge'er last time. She was a daughter of the teacher's family. I think Shi Liu is more dignified than her and looks more like a daughter of an official family."

"Tsk, Jin is so lucky to have such a good wife."

"..."

Shi Liu felt ashamed when listening to the murmurs. Can't they wait until the person concerned is far away before talking about others behind their backs? It was really embarrassing.

The way Fan looked at her with a wink made her blush.

Mrs. Fan found it funny and whispered to her, "Here, let's go this way. It's not far and we'll pass by Fan Jin's house. You haven't seen what his mother looks like yet, have you?"

Pomegranate:……

She hurriedly said, "Let's take this road and get to Patriarch Fan's house as soon as possible to discuss things."

What? She didn’t take the right road but took a detour. Even a fool would know why she took a detour. She didn’t really want to go to Fan Jin’s house.

If Fan Jin asked her and her mother to bring the message, she would have asked someone to run a message when she came back yesterday. How could she go to the man's house to meet her future mother-in-law before getting married?

Seeing that she felt embarrassed, Mrs. Fan stopped talking and the two of them continued walking forward.

Soon, they arrived at the home of Patriarch Fan.
