Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 44
Qiaoyun followed Mrs. Liu to the kitchen to prepare meals, Mrs. Liu opened the two packages of cooked food that Qiaoyun brought back, and the aroma inside hit her nose. "Oh, shopkeeper Han is really willing to part with it. I bought this from Liji deli in the town, and the price is not low." Mrs. Liu said happily as soon as she smelled the fragrance.

"With this chicken, we don't have to kill the chicken at noon. These two cooked foods are two dishes, and then a plate of fried eggs and a plate of fried peanuts. Are four dishes enough?" Mrs. Liu looked at the things in front of her. , mumbling while pondering.

The key is not in this season, except for leeks and scallions, other small vegetables in the garden have not grown yet.Besides, Mr. Hu, it's not easy to get some green vegetables to serve the guests.The four dishes arranged by Mrs. Liu are all hard dishes, so they should be okay.For rural people, it is good to have a meat dish on the table, not to mention Li Ji's cooked food. They usually entertain guests, but they can't offer such good food.

"Okay, that's it, stewed rhubarb rice at noon, with these dishes, it's very good." Liu thought for a while, and thought it was all right, "Well, let's add leek and egg soup. Four dishes and one soup are enough gone."

Qiaoyun doesn't care about these things, just do what Mrs. Liu tells her to do, and she just needs to do it.Since Mrs. Liu said these things, she will cook. "Mom, then you went to find the big yellow rice, come here, I will wash the rice and stew the rice."

Rhubarb rice is a precious thing in the farmhouse, and it was put away by Mrs. Liu. Usually, Qiaoyun can't touch it at all, so Mrs. Liu has to find it.

Mrs. Liu is in a good mood today, but it's rare that she didn't scold anyone, but happily went to find the big yellow rice.Not long after, Mrs. Liu brought the rhubarb rice and handed it to Qiao Yun, "Wash the rice and stew the rice, and then go to the garden to cut leeks. The remaining two vegetables are easy and don't take much time. When the rice is ready, call Me, I'm here to cut these cooked food."

While speaking, Mrs. Liu rewrapped the cooked food, put it in the kitchen cabinet, and locked it with a lock. Of course, she was afraid that Qiaoyun would steal it.After waiting for the cabinet to be locked, Mrs. Liu turned around and left the kitchen, "Cook well, if today's food is not cooked well, be careful that I will expose your skin."

Qiaoyun made a grimace at Liu's back, "What? If I want to eat, can I keep it for you? I'm so happy with me, I really think it's your skill? Tsk, if I don't think that these things It’s too wasteful to throw away, and I really don’t want to take it back.”

Of course, Qiao Yun's words were just words.No matter what year it is, it's really wrong to waste food, and she won't do that.So even though she knew there would be no benefit in taking it back, she didn't really throw it away.Furthermore, she sent things to Chen Langzhong's house, if she didn't bring them back, if Mrs. Liu found out about it one day, there would be trouble again.

Qiaoyun built a fire, boiled water, washed rice and stewed rice. When the rice in the pot was almost the same, without having to watch the fire, Qiaoyun went to the garden to cut a handful of leeks and came back.Then I sat in the yard, picked and washed the leeks, and then brought them into the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

The rice in the pot was ready, Qiaoyun hurriedly called Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu came over and found the eggs and peanuts.Qiaoyun was busy cooking on the stove, while Liu was cutting cooked food.

The dishes are not too difficult, and they will be out of the pan in two or three strokes.It happened that it was late, it was time for lunch, so Liu asked Xiuyan to find a kang table, and set it up on the kang in the east room.Qi Tiankui and Qi Yongyuan, who were brought back by Xiuyan, were drinking with Mr. Hu on the kang in the east room.

According to the rules in the country, when guests come, women are not allowed to eat together. They have to wait until the guests finish their meal and leave before eating, or just have a casual bite in the kitchen.So even though Young Master Hu came here for Xiumei, at this time, Xiumei could only come out of the east room and eat with Liu Shi and the others in the kitchen.

Of course, eating in the kitchen is nothing delicious.Mrs. Liu is as stingy, and the things he brought out are only enough for a plate, and they are basically on the table in the east room at the moment.At the moment, apart from rhubarb rice, there is only a small pot of soup in the kitchen.Of course, there is a little leftover cooked food.

Mrs. Liu led Xiumei, Xiuyan and Qiaoyun. The four of them didn't set a table, but just ate on the chopping board in the kitchen.Mrs. Liu cut up all the cooked food and served them to the guests. There were still some chicken heads, necks, feet, wings, ribs and the like.

Even for these, Mrs. Liu refused to let Qiaoyun eat whatever she wanted, and gave Qiaoyun a piece of chicken neck and hesitated for a long time, and put all the rest in front of Qi Xiumei and Qi Xiuyan.

Qiao Yun curled her lips, this Liu Shi, she will be like this in her life.Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with her, if I have that time, I might as well go back to weaving when I'm full.Qiaoyun gnawed the chicken neck, not to mention, the taste is really good, in this year, there is such a skill, it is really good.

Luckily, there was enough rice, so finally Mrs. Liu was not so picky, and gave Qiaoyun a flat bowl of rice.This rhubarb rice is very fragrant, soft and glutinous, and it tastes full of fragrance.The leek and egg soup that Qiaoyun made by himself is also very delicious. After eating rice and drinking soup, Qiaoyun will be full in a short time.

"Mother, I'm going back to the house to weave. If there's anything else, mother will call me again." After eating, Qiaoyun didn't care about that, and left the kitchen and went back to her own room.

Qiaoyun left, Qi Xiumei's gloomy face was even more ugly, "Mother, this dead girl, we can't let her stay in our house anymore." Xiumei was a little worried that Qiaoyun would steal her limelight, The way Mr. Hu looked at Qiaoyun earlier made Xiumei a little worried.

Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows, "Nonsense, that's our family's cash cow, and your dowry is pointing at her to earn it back for you. You won't let her stay in our house, where do you want her to go? I can tell you You said, she is only thirteen, if she doesn’t earn money for me at our house until she is 20, she won’t even think about going out.”

"I've thought about it. Your elder brother also cares about her. The best thing is to keep her at home. Wait until I marry your elder brother a daughter of a similar family, and then put that girl in your elder brother's room. In this way we The family doesn't need to pay her a dowry, and can keep her working at home for the rest of her life, how nice?"

Liu's calculations are very shrewd, Qiaoyun is such a capable person, how could she be willing to marry off to other people's family to earn money?The best way is to stay at home and work for the rest of your life.But Mrs. Liu disliked Qiaoyun's lack of natal family and backing, so she thought about making another daughter-in-law for Qi Yongyuan and letting Qiaoyun be his son's concubine.

After hearing Liu's words, Xiumei's expression became even more gloomy.Looking at her mother's look full of longing, Xiumei didn't say anything else, and her mother wouldn't listen to her.However, she would never let that lowly girl Qiaoyun stay in Qi's house so comfortably, at least, she couldn't keep her face.
