suspected wife

Every time Zhou Yanqing sent something, Qiao Mingjin felt uneasy.

Although for Zhou Yanqing, these extra snacks and the like sent by his own Zhuangzi are just a favor.

In his heart, he felt that the abacus and the pulley made by Qiao Mingjin, the reward from the sage, and the embarrassment of his Zhou family could not be worth the worthless things he sent.But for Qiao Mingjin, in front of the people of Xiahe Village, these things can cause conversations for several days every time.

For Qiao Mingjin, a woman who had made peace and divorced, separated from her property, and brought a little girl with her, how did she find help from one of the largest families in the city?And trust her to entrust such a large workshop to her?

There are always some jealous people, a small group of people who can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour, under Wu's vague hints, they whisper some sour words in her ears.

Qiao Mingjin told herself not to care, telling herself that she was just waiting for an opportunity to leave.

It's just that even though it was like this, it still caused some difficulties for her.Although she lives outside the village, she is not really isolated from the world...

"Wow, mother, come and see, what a big pomegranate!"

Qiao Mingjin's train of thought was interrupted by her daughter's screaming, and Qiao Mingjin followed her daughter's voice.

I saw Xiao Wan'er holding a big pomegranate in each of her small hands and showing it to Qiao Mingjin excitedly.

"Mom, look, does it look like a lantern? It's bigger than our pomegranates!"

"So there is a pomegranate tree in Wan'er's house too?" Zhou Yanqing asked while supporting the little thing's shoulder.

The little thing nodded again and again, looked at Zhou Yanqing and said: "Yes. There are also two pomegranate trees in the yard of Wan'er's house, and there are many pomegranates. But they are not so big. Well, only so big... "

The little thing put the pomegranate in his hand on his chest, freed his hand and compared it to Zhou Yanqing.

"Mother also said that our pomegranates are not ripe yet, and it will take some time before we can eat them. Are the pomegranates from Uncle Zhou's house ready to eat? It's great."

Zhou Yanqing rubbed the little thing's head with a smile, and said to Qiao Mingjin next to him, "I don't know when the pomegranates are ripe. The servants can eat whatever they prepare. I have never worried about it. I don't like this pomegranate either." , It looks pretty good. But it is troublesome to eat, watching the maids and boys peel off the skin, and then peel off one by one and pile them on the plate, one by one, it looks crystal clear, but it has been handed by others. No interest in eating anymore."

Qiao Mingjin smiled after hearing this, picked up a pomegranate and turned it around in his hand to look at it. The pomegranate was really big, one probably weighed half a catty, and the skin was completely red.

It should be cooked inside.

Then he said with a smile: "You have to do it yourself to eat fruit. It tastes good when you eat it. Let the servants help you peel it. What's the difference between putting it one by one and delivering it directly to your mouth? Sometimes you eat it. Food is a process of eating."

Zhou Yanqing nodded in agreement: "Of course I am willing to do it myself. But this pomegranate is really hard to eat, and the skin is very thick. Picking it hurts my fingers. There are so many seeds, and the pomegranate seeds slipped down my stomach if I didn't pay attention. I really don't want to eat it."

Zhou Yanqing waved his hands while talking, with a look of disgust.

Seeing him like that, Qiao Mingjin laughed unkindly.

Said: "This pomegranate is a good thing. It helps digestion. Not only does it invigorate the stomach and increase appetite, it can also soften blood vessels. It can stop diarrhea and stop bleeding. It has miraculous effects on polydipsia, chronic diarrhea, chronic dysentery, blood in the stool, and hangover. "

Seeing Zhou Yanqing's unbelievable look, he said: "I will teach you a simple way of eating today, so that you can enjoy the process of eating in the middle and feel its benefits. I guarantee you will never want to fake it again. In the hands of others, one must fall in love with pomegranate."

"Oh? Then I'd like to try. But, who did you hear that pomegranate has so many effects? Why didn't I know? Look at you, you can become a doctor. You also have convenient and simple ones. How to eat? Isn’t it just picking the thick skin with your hands?”

Zhou Yanqing felt that Qiao Mingjin was exaggerating.

Qiao Mingjin also ignored him.Turning around, he told Ming Qi to go to the kitchen to get a knife and a plate.

Qiao Mingjin took Wan'er to pick a few pomegranates, washed them and wiped them dry, sat down in front of a table in the main room, took Ming Qi's knife, and said to Zhou Yanqing, "Look at me, what about me?" Only demonstrate it once, and if you demonstrate it more than once, you will be charged.”

Zhou Yanqing looked contemptuous: "Tch, when did you lose money?"

"Isn't it bad to lose money?" Qiao Mingjin joked.

While teasing with him, he held up a small knife to cut the pomegranate's flower base.Then compare the index finger, the index finger has three sections, compare the distance from the first section of the index finger at the top, and carefully cut a cover with a knife in a circle.

Shallowly cut a ring.Don't cut too deep, otherwise the meat inside will be cut and the juice will overflow.

Then, grab the protruding flower base, shake it a few times, and quickly pull a cover from the flower base.

After the lid was lifted, the crystal clear pulp inside the pomegranate shell was also revealed.The red is purple, it is the best ripe state, and the pomegranate at this time is also the sweetest.

Not only Zhou Yanqing, but also Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er were pleasantly surprised.I clapped my hands happily beside me.

"Hey, I didn't expect to see such a beautiful side after cutting it out like this."

Zhou Yanqing took the opened pomegranate and twirled it in her hands, making Wan'er staring at her beside her.It's not good to yell at Uncle Zhou to show her too, just worrying on the sidelines.

Where did Xiao Wan'er and Ming Qi have the experience of eating pomegranates like this?Even in previous years, I couldn't eat one and a half pomegranates.

Although the county magistrate of Qingchuan is pomegranate, Wan'er does not get the treatment of eating fruit in Yue's house.And the Qiao family in Yunjia Village didn't grow any, and the family was usually reluctant to buy one and a half.

Qiao Mingjin looked at Zhou Yanqing's surprised face, and said, "This way, you can't fully see the essence of the flesh inside. This is just the first step. You don't think I lifted the lid just to let you pick it with your fingers." right?"

She glanced at him and took the pomegranate in his hand.He motioned him to look at it: "Look, there are five white membranes in the middle of this pomegranate. The knife should be cut along these five white membranes. It should not be deep or shallow. If it is deep, it will easily hurt the flesh. Sweat will overflow, flow everywhere, and splash on the skin. The clothes on the clothes can’t even be washed off. It’s shallow scratched and can’t be peeled off..."

Qiao Mingjin gestured as he stroked, and stroked along the albuginea to the end.It became a natural five-petal, and then put down the knife, and then gently broke it, and it became five-petal.

The crystal clear flesh is immediately displayed in front of everyone.

Like a crystal, the stripes inside are clearly visible, and each grain is red with purple in it.It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also appetizing.

Zhou Yanqing praised again and again.

"It's more pleasing to the eye than girls and servants peeling grains into glass cups one by one. I can't help but want to eat it."

After speaking, he picked up a petal with both hands and put it to his mouth. After putting a few grains into his mouth, he tasted it carefully.

That look is more pleasing to the eye than the crystal clear pomegranate flesh on the plate.

The upbringing of the rich is really not just for the sake of the poor, the elegance in every gesture is beyond comparison to ordinary people.

Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er admired the good-looking pomegranate meat.I couldn't wait to grab a piece, put it in my mouth and started chewing.

The two little things narrowed their eyes.I enjoyed it very much.

"You eat too."

Zhou Yanqing said to Qiao Mingjin while gracefully spitting seeds into the bone dish on the table.

"I see you like this, one is not enough for you to eat, I'll cut another one for you." As he spoke, he was about to take the knife on the table.

"Why do you want to do it? Grandpa's hands are still itchy. Come and try later."

He reached out and grabbed Qiao Mingjin's hand to stop her.

Qiao Mingjin's hand was held warmly by him.She struggled outside and looked up at him.

Zhou Yanqing also seemed to be teased by fire.After reflecting, he quickly let go of Qiao Mingjin's hand.

Pretending to be nonchalant, she said to Xiao Wan'er and Ming Qi, "Is it delicious?"

The two little things nodded with a "huh huh".His mouth was not idle, he just nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle will cut it for you later, this time uncle brought half a basket, enough for you to eat."

The eyes of the two little creatures were as bright as the pomegranate seeds.

Qiao Mingjin saw Zhou Yanqing spitting out the pomegranate seeds, and said, "The teeth are good, and eating these pomegranate seeds can help digestion. And the thick skin can also help digestion if soaked in water." effect."

Zhou Yanqing gave Qiao Mingjin a bright look, swallowed the pomegranate seeds, and chewed them.

She gave Qiao Mingjin a sideways look, and said to Wan'er, "Our little Wan'er, don't bite, the pomegranate seeds are hard, you don't have to break your teeth."

As he spoke, he quickly finished eating a petal, picked up a large one with a knife, and cut it like Qiao Mingjin.

The first effort was too great, and the sweat splashed out.He didn't eat it either, and started to cut the second and third...

It seems that eating is really not an important thing for him, the most important thing is to enjoy the process.

It's just that Qiao Mingjin felt a little headache looking at the pomegranate on the table that he had cut off.

On the other hand, Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er happily ate and watched, and couldn't stop giving directions, judging which one was the best cut.The aunt and nephew were very happy, it is rare to have such an experience of eating fresh fruit freely...

At noon that day, Qiao Mingjin cooked a farm meal for Zhou Yanqing.Half used the ingredients he brought, and the other half used side dishes grown at home and home-raised native chickens.

Of course, there is no such thing as local chicken or non-local chicken in this era.

But if you want a feed chicken, it may cause a bombardment.There is no way, these days, we pay attention to the value of rare things, and we are not afraid of having no money, but we are afraid that there are not many rare things to come out.

Qiao Mingjin's cooking is not very good, but she has a little advantage over the people nowadays.The eight major cuisines, cuisines from various regions, and even cuisines from various countries, regardless of whether she knows how to cook or not, as long as she has seen it, she has more different opinions than the current people.

In her previous life, in order to save money to buy a house, she was reluctant to eat out, and in order to satisfy her husband, she often searched for some recipes in the Internet and books, and tried to make them.

It is not difficult for her to cook a table of dishes that can entertain guests.For Zhou Yanqing, who is used to eating the same dishes, it can be regarded as a refreshing spring.

"Farm food" was also called by Qiao Mingjin.Zhou Yanqing strongly agrees.Think it sounds reasonable.

There is still a chef missing in his house?What dish haven't you eaten?It's just that this farm food seems to really suit his appetite. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
