Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 9

The houses of the people in the village are all built along this main road, and one family is next to the other. It's just that some poor people have smaller houses, while rich people have larger houses.Wang Xi's family is one of the small households.Mu Xiang didn't want to leave the village, so she went around behind the house and on the field stalks, which was considered a shortcut.

Knocking on the faded wooden door, someone inside answered, with a loud voice, one could tell it was Wang Xi.

Naturally, Wang Xi didn't expect that it was Mu Xiang who knocked on the door. The moment he opened the door, Mu Xiang was shocked by his appearance at the moment.It turned out that while washing clothes by the river in the afternoon, Caiyun stared at her face for a long time, and finally became worried.

Girls in the country are too good-looking, which is not a good thing. If they attract the attention of thieves, they will suffer. Even if there are no thieves, if they are taken by the master of a rich family, they must marry them as concubines. That is also absolutely necessary.

Mu Xiang felt that her younger sister's worry was justified, and she was too busy quarreling before, so she forgot about it, but many people in the village have seen it, and now if she wants to use black ash to wipe it off, no one will believe it.Fortunately, Caiyun came up with a method. There is a special herbal medicine that grows in the bamboo forest. When it is crushed into juice and applied on the face, it will cause a layer of pimples on the face, but it will disappear after three days.Mu Xiang also recognizes this herbal medicine, and knows that this medicine has the effect of detoxification. When the red bumps subside, the skin will definitely be more supple than before.

So what Wang Xi saw this time was Mu Xiang with a small face covered with red bumps.

Seeing his reaction, Mu Xiang also knew that he was frightened, so she smiled and said, "When I was tidying up the vegetable garden just now, I got some pollen on it, and that's it."

Wang Xi came to his senses, stepped aside quickly, and asked her to come in.

Grandma Wang was busy in the kitchen, when she heard someone coming home, she asked loudly, "Xizi, who is here?"

Mu Xiang didn't wait for Wang Xi to answer, she had already stepped into the kitchen, "Grandma is me, I'm here to ask your family to borrow a needle and thread, so I can put the quilt on when I go back."

"Hey, it's Mu Xiang," Grandma Wang was overjoyed when she saw Mu Xiang, she stood up from under the stove, wiped her hands with her apron, and looked at Mu Xiang's pimples all over her face, she was also startled , "Ah, what's wrong with your face, don't you look good at noon? How did you become like this in a while?"

Mu Xiang smiled nonchalantly, "My face is fine, maybe it will be fine in a few days." Maybe it won't get better all the time - she just said in her heart that if necessary, she would always wear red bumps.

Grandma Wang nodded, "I must have eaten something bad. Go back and wash your face a few more times and it will be fine. Otherwise, get some straw ash to wash. Come, sit down and talk."

Mu Xiang shook her head, "No, I have to go back and cook for Caiyun and the others. Besides, there are a lot of things at home, so I can't sit down. I'll see you when I'm free someday."

"That's okay," Grandma Wang couldn't hold on anymore, she went into the house and took two needles and a handful of cotton thread, and handed them to Mu Xiang, "Here, take it, and come and get it if you need anything. Don't be polite to Grandma."

Mu Xiang took the cable and said with a smile: "Grandma, when I earn money later, I will definitely buy it and return it to you, so I will take it back and use it first."

"You child, you have a little needle and thread. You borrow it and pay it back. You don't have to pay it back. You just use it. I don't have anything else in my house, but I still have needles and thread." Grandma Wang smiled from ear to ear.He sent Mu Xiang to the door all the time, and Wang Xi had to send her for a while, so he couldn't stand Mu Xiang's enthusiasm.

After walking for a while, Mu Xiang stopped, and said to Wang Xi who was sending him out: "Brother Wang Xi, don't send it away, the sun is still so high, it's too troublesome to send it back and forth at such a short distance, you should hurry home and work." , I’m still two steps away.”

"Hey," Wang Xi's head was lowered, it almost fell to his chest. He is not handsome, but he has good features, and his temper is dull. When he is alone with Mu Xiang, he dare not even look at her. At a glance, Mu Xiang would not be tempted by such a man, it has nothing to do with appearance, personality, and even more with status, if you don't like it, you don't like it, it's okay to be a relative, a friend, or a husband, that's absolutely not acceptable.

Just as Mu Xiang took two steps, she suddenly remembered something again, and she turned around and asked, "Brother Xizi, I heard that you are going to go hunting in the mountains in two days, can you take me with you?"

"Ah? You want to go up the mountain too?" Wang Xi looked at her in disbelief.

Mu Xiang nodded, "Well, I'm planning to go up the mountain. Even if I can't hunt prey, I can at least gather some herbs and exchange for money, right?" She knew Wang Xi's worry, and it was true that she no longer had the skills of her previous life. The current Muxiang is so weak that even an ordinary person can't beat it. Even if you start practicing now, it won't happen overnight, but aren't there herbs on the mountain?She knows all the precious herbs, and if she picks them up and sells them in the town, they can be exchanged for money.

Wang Xi thought about it, what she said was also reasonable, as long as it didn't go too deep, there was nothing wrong with going up the mountain, so he readily agreed, and the two made an appointment to meet at Mu Xiang's house the day after tomorrow and go up the mountain together.

Back home, while it was still dark, Mu Xiang hurriedly put on all three quilts, and cleaned up the yard again. The heavy rain a few days ago knocked down the broken wall again. Ask someone to help build the fence again, so as not to repair it today and collapse it tomorrow.

The mushrooms picked at noon have been eaten, but because there is no vegetable oil, Mu Xiang can only boil some cornmeal.There is no way, there is no vegetable oil, no lard, and even a little bit of salt left, it seems that she has to make money as soon as possible, and go to the town to do some shopping, otherwise she will really have nothing to eat.

Mu Lang has no objection now, he drank corn mush, it was delicious, and he even praised the elder sister's boiled incense, it was delicious.

This is true, Caiyun still kept the bottom of the mushroom stewing pot at noon, and Mu Xiang used the bottom of the pot to slowly boil cornmeal on a low fire, stirring while cooking, the pure fragrance of corn, just by smelling it, is also Feel sweet.

After eating, the three of them simply washed up and climbed onto the kang to sleep.Without lamp oil, we had to go to the kang in the dark.Mu Xiang took advantage of the moonlight to spread the quilt for them.

Caiyun hugged the quilt, took a deep breath, her small face was full of intoxication, "This quilt smells really good, and it's so soft, I really want to stay under the quilt all the time."

Mu Xiang smiled and said: "Don't be so worthless, when sister has money, go buy cotton seeds, let's grow cotton, and then there will be new quilts to cover these beds, so I won't cover them with butt pads! She smiled and spread the quilt for Mu Lang, and actually covered half of the bed for him. Mu Lang is small, but it is just right.
