Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 88 Jerky
Since Ning Wan was taught by Mrs. Zhao, she felt that she was very good at talking to people. In addition to the situation of the Zhao family at that time, she had to follow Mrs. Zhao to participate in many county affairs. At that time, she often went out and dealt with all kinds of people. .As for talking and joking with the female relatives, it is nothing.

But facing Mrs. Wu, she felt powerless for the second time. Of course, her first feeling of powerlessness was also because of Mrs. Wu, she was really difficult to speak.It's not because she has a bad temper or a bad manner, it's because she talks differently from ordinary people.

Looking at her expression, she didn't look down on her father and daughter, but she also took it for granted that her family was still so poor, so Ning Wan said bluntly: "After my family started a small business, they are not short of money now. This time I came here just to see Madam, after all, the second young master is in Duolun, so he won't be able to come back during the Chinese New Year."

"I sent him to Duolun, and he is not allowed to come back casually!" Mrs. Wu didn't know if she was telling Ning Wan or herself: "My son will definitely become a general!"

"Yes, I know, he will become a great general. The barbarians are terrified in front of him and bow their heads to their ears, but the people in our border towns all love and admire him. He will grow from a small soldier to a small banner to the general banner , to become a high-ranking military officer of the imperial court, to protect our Hutai County from being trampled by the barbarians, and in the future..." Ning Wan paused, that's all she knew, but with the age and talent of the crippled general back then, "he must I will do more amazing things and become a general who leads one side!"

When Ning Wan mentioned these future events one by one, Mrs. Wu believed them completely, her pale face blushed, "Yes, I know he will make the trip!" However, in an instant, she shed tears again, "But it's too dangerous there. He is in the northernmost part of Anpingwei, and he sees barbarians every day. He heard that those barbarians will kill people with swords if they don't agree with each other. Iron stone is still young, in case... "

Ning Wan was sitting opposite Mrs. Wu, when she lowered her head, she saw the hair wrapped under her forehead, half of it was gray.Obviously the last time Mrs. Wu went to Sanjia Village, her head was still full of black hair!

However, there is nothing incomprehensible about this. When Lu Tieshi went to Duolun, his mother, Mrs. Wu, was most worried about him. The two thoughts of hoping for his son to make great achievements and worrying about his son's accident were repeatedly intertwined in Mrs. Wu's heart, torturing him into this.

Ning Wan raised her hand and patted Mrs. Wu's shoulder lightly, "Young Master Lu will be safe! He is so skilled, he can kill several wild boars by himself! People in our village say that they have never seen him like this!" Excellent martial arts! You must know that wild boars in the mountains are the most terrifying, and even tigers will shy away from them! Are barbarian people more terrifying than wild boars and tigers?"

"Yes, he is very good at martial arts. People say that he is naturally suitable for martial arts." Mrs. Wu nodded, "but he never left me."

Ning Wan continued to pat Madam Wu, feeling that she was comforting a child, "Although Young Master Lu is not very old, he is very sensible, and he will take care of himself."

Mrs. Wu still didn't stop her tears, instead she couldn't help sobbing more and more under such encouragement, and told Ning Wan all the grievances in her heart: "He only ate the food I cooked since he was a child, and now he doesn't know if he can eat it when he's outside. Get used to it."

"Of course, the last time Master Lu Er helped hunt wild boars in our village, he didn't dislike the simple food at our house, and he ate it deliciously." Ning Wan smiled when she recalled, "Our family is not as good as that." He eats a lot by himself."

Mrs. Wu burst into laughter, "Tie Shi has always had a big appetite, and he can eat several bowls of rice every meal." But in the blink of an eye, he frowned again, "I don't know if he can eat enough in the army?"

"As the saying goes, when soldiers eat food, they can never go hungry. Besides, our Liaodong side is mostly military camps. I heard people say that there are thousands of miles of wilderness in Duolun, and a lot of food can be grown by reclaiming any place." In fact, The lame general became a hundred households in Duolun by virtue of his military exploits, and then led his army to reclaim the wasteland. The grain he grew piled up in the castle, which was said to be enough for Duolun to close the gate for five years.

Mrs. Wu then said: "Tie Shi still spends a lot on clothes. When he was a child, he went out to play for a long time, and his clothes were torn. Later, he practiced martial arts, beat and beat, and he couldn't wear a set of clothes for a few months. I thought about where he was. There is no one around to help him sew and mend, and when it is cold, I don’t know if the cotton-padded clothes will be torn and not keep warm.”

Ning Wan thought about it carefully. The crippled general who walked through Hutai County back then was always in military uniform, neat and tidy. It seemed that he hadn't seen him wearing ragged clothes, so she laughed again: "Although there are some things that Young Master Lu originally No, but a smart person like him, can he still be stumped?"

The son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried. Mrs. Wu's concern for Young Master Lu is endless. Ning Wan patiently explained to Mrs. Wu bit by bit, "Don't worry, madam, the Second Young Master Lu who comes back from Duolun in a few years will be a A majestic officer, you will be extremely proud to see him!"

No one believed in Ning Wan more than Mrs. Wu, she nodded persistently, "Well, Tie Shi is quite smart and capable, he can do everything by himself, and he can also become an officer."

When he was in a good mood, he told Ning Wan all the mischievous things about Lu Tieshi when he was a child, "Once he made me angry, I turned around and hit him with a broom, and in a blink of an eye he was gone. But I had locked the door Is it closed? Where can he go? I searched all over the yard and couldn’t find him, so I got anxious and shouted, Tieshi, come back quickly, mother won’t beat you.”

Mrs. Wu asked with a smile: "What do you say?"

"Tie Shi slipped down from the big poplar tree in the yard, raised his head and smiled at me, mother, I'm here." At this moment, Mrs. Wu pointed her finger out of the window, even though the window was closed now, and it was covered with fog. The thick window paper was covered, and the big poplar tree could not be seen at all.

Ning Wan listened, but couldn't express what she felt. The crippled general she knew had always been a cold-faced and uncompromising person. How could he be mischievous like a naughty boy?Looking at Mrs. Wu comparing her height with her hands, she guessed that Lu Tieshi was only seven or eight years old at that time.A child of seven or eight years old is the age that dogs would hate, which is normal, but she just finds it weird and always wants to laugh.

Fortunately, since Mrs. Wu mentioned her son, she was immersed in the past with all her heart, and she couldn't notice Ning Wan's expression anymore.She unfolded a happy smiling face, dispelling all the sorrows, her whole body became young and beautiful, Ning Wan was stunned.Listening to her casually telling a pile of past events.

Maybe it's because Young Master Lu hasn't made any achievements at this time, and hasn't become a god in people's hearts. Maybe in the mother's heart, his son is like this. What Mrs. Wu said is mostly trivial and embarrassing things, which are completely different from the lame general Ning Wan heard before. How to kill the enemy is different.

Although these little things that happened to the crippled general were no different from what the children in Sanjia Village usually do, Ning Wan still listened carefully. By himself, he confided in a single brain.

Although it has nothing to do with her, but for the sake of Second Young Master Lu, she should listen.

However, it's also quite interesting.

The more Mrs. Wu talked, the more she couldn't stop, nagging Ning Wan about every detail, "It's almost Chinese New Year, I made him a lot of dried meat, and asked Uncle Wu to send it to Hutai County today. I heard that Duo Lun is here to lead the army The people from Jiji have arrived, so I just brought them there. Don’t you know? The jerky I make is very delicious, and Tie Shi can’t get enough of it.”

Ning Wan nodded and smiled in praise, "Madam is really thoughtful. Master Lu works hard every day, so he should eat more meat. Dried meat is delicious, and it is convenient to carry. It can be taken out at any time even during the march, no matter how suitable it is." It can't be sent over."

"That's what I thought," Mrs. Wu's eyes suddenly widened. "Back then, I bought meat with all my family's money and made it into jerky and brought it to him, so that he could..." Here she stopped abruptly.

Ning Wan understood it a long time ago. Mrs. Wu was talking about sending her son to the expedition, but she thought about sending her husband back then.At that time, she did everything she could to prepare her husband's luggage, and then she should have been worried about her husband's safety as she is now, wondering whether he would be able to eat enough, whether he would be able to dress warmly, and looking forward to his early return, but in the end everything was in jeopardy. As she wished, her husband went well and became an officer.It's just that when he succeeded, he was no longer her husband alone. To be precise, he was actually someone else's husband.

This is really an unbearable past.

Looking at Mrs. Wu's smiling face that suddenly disappeared, Ning Wan couldn't express her sympathy. Although Mrs. Wu has been criticized by many people, she is really not a perfect woman, but she is already a good enough wife and mother. Treat like this.Then Ning Wan thought again, maybe Mrs. Wu wasn't so withdrawn and awkward before, it was Commander Lu's abandonment that turned her into this.

So Ning Wan smiled and said: "In addition to bringing dried meat to Young Master Lu, Madam should also make some pastries and pastries. It's not good to eat too much meat." It seemed that she didn't understand anything.

Mrs. Wu also turned her attention back, and didn't think that a little girl like Ning Wan could understand her own thoughts, so she smiled and said: "Of course I also gave other gifts, as well as mung bean cake, jujube cake, furnace fruit, stick head, oil tea noodles... …There are so many kinds, and there are also several sets of clothes and shoes.”

"Madam Wu is really skillful, she can make so many dim sum."

Ning Wan was actually just giving a casual compliment to make Mrs. Wu happier, but Mrs. Wu really believed it, and turned around and took out an oiled paper bag from under the kang table, "There are more fruits in this furnace, you can try it."

Luguo is a kind of dim sum made with eggs and noodles. It is the most common and common dim sum in Liaodong, and it can be found in almost all dim sum shops.But Mrs. Wu's furnace fruit is also average, with a layer of black sesame on the surface that is still slightly burnt, but after biting into a piece, it is really crispy, crispy, fragrant and sweet, Ning Wan nodded and said: "It's delicious , and the furnace fruit is the most durable, it won't go bad for a year and a half."

"Exactly," Mrs. Wu presented many things like offering treasures, all of which were leftovers for Young Master Lu, "My family's ancestors came to Liaodong from Shandong, and they are best at making steamed buns and sticks for noodles. The reason why Tie Shi can grow so tall and strong is because he loves to eat sticks. I see that Liaodong people don’t make noodles very much, how about you try it?”

Ning Wan ate this and that, and praised everything.She did it to make Mrs. Wu happy, but the food was really delicious. Although it didn't look so exquisite and meticulous, it was full of ingredients and full of heart, so there was nothing wrong with it.No matter how careful Ning Wan tasted it, these things are especially suitable for sending to the military camp.

Thinking back, Mrs. Wu gave her husband many things back then, of course she knew what was the most suitable one.
