Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 81 Bitter Gourd Salad
Liao Xiucai was startled by Gu Yunqing's somewhat rude behavior, and hid back, almost falling off the stool.

Seeing that this scholar was frightened by him, Gu Yunqing still said viciously, "Liao Xiucai, you are also a scholar, you should understand etiquette, justice and shame, if you don't care about my cousin, you should stay away from her."

Liao Xiucai was still in a daze, but when she heard this sentence, she immediately defended, "I, I am serious about Miss Qiaomei."

This serious look on the scholar's face was somewhat funny to Gu Yunqing, and he asked, "How can you be serious? Engagement money, gift money, dowry, banquet, where do you get the money for these things? Not to mention money, when we Qiaomei marry you, who will do the work in the field? How will life be at home? She is my aunt's heart and soul at home, so why not marry into your family and endure hardships?"

These words were somewhat harsh, and they sounded like a knife to Liao Xiucai's ears. He is still relying on the family's little wealth to live, and he has no ability to take care of himself. How can he have the face to marry a wife and have children?
Seeing the change in Liao Xiucai's expression, Gu Yunqing knew that he understood what he meant, so he didn't urge him to answer quickly, but just watched quietly.

Tian Xiaoyu and Qiaomei were cooking in the kitchen. Qiaomei saw the bitter gourd slices in Tian Xiaoyu's hands, and asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, can this kind of food be delicious? My mother used to Feed it to pigs, and pigs won't eat it."

After she finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands, and looked at Tian Xiaoyu apologetically.

In fact, Qiaomei didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to say, how can humans eat something that pigs don't like to eat?
Seeing Qiaomei's pitiful appearance, Tian Xiaoyu just thought it was funny, took out a thin piece of bitter gourd from the bowl, put it to her mouth, and said confidently, "Try it, although this thing is bitter , but it’s still pretty good when it’s done.”

Qiaomei dubiously ate the bitter gourd into her mouth, and just chewed it twice, she was about to frown and feel like throwing up, but Tian Xiaoyu covered her mouth with her hand, and said intimidatingly, "Chew more and the taste will be fine. This dish will be for your Brother Liao."

When Qiaomei heard this, she must not be able to vomit anymore, so she frowned and chewed the bitter gourd more, and then swallowed it. After eating this piece of bitter gourd, she suddenly felt a slightly sweet aftertaste in her mouth, with a hint of sweetness. The stock was fragrant, and asked Tian Xiaoyu in surprise, "Sister-in-law, how did you make this bitter gourd? Why does it still smell sweet?"

In fact, the bitter gourd was originally a few vines behind the yard of Mrs. Ye’s house. A small fish from Tiantian went to visit and saw Qiaomei picking a basket from outside, so she asked her where it came from. Qiaomei said it was a wild fruit, which was very bitter. , I planned to pick and cut it to make fertilizer in the field, but Tian Xiaoyu begged for it. I was wondering at the time, but now it seems that this is also unique.

Tian Xiaoyu smiled meaningfully, "Maybe it's not my bitter melon that is sweet, but your heart is sweet."

Qiaomei blushed again after being teased by her, forgot about the taboo thing, and ran out of the kitchen with the plate of cold bitter gourd.

In fact, there is no secret to this cold bitter gourd. It is just sliced ​​thinner, marinated with salt and then blanched, and put some sugar in the cold, and the raw bitterness of this bitter gourd is almost gone.

Seeing Qiaomei running out in a panic, Tian Xiaoyu couldn't help but find it funny. This girl in love is much cuter, so she doesn't intend to stop her, and continues to be busy with cooking.

Qiaomei ran out the door with a bitter gourd in her hand, only then did she realize that she was impulsive again, but she wanted to see Liao Qing a little bit in her heart, after a few struggles she decided to go to the main room, when she was about to enter the room, she heard Liao Qing talking, she He hurriedly retracted his stepping foot, hiding behind the door and listening carefully.

Liao Xiucai thought for a while, knowing that he was not capable enough, he was a little discouraged, but he still said firmly, "Brother Yunqing, although I can't let Miss Qiaomei live a good life now, I will definitely study harder and work harder as soon as possible." To obtain fame and fame, and do my best to make Miss Qiaomei live well."

Seeing that he had thought about it for so long, Gu Yunqing thought he had figured it out. Now that he heard this, he said a little bitterly, "You can't even eat, and you still miss your sage books? Love to learn It’s a good thing, but you have to pick your time, right? If I were you, I’d find a job right now, earn some money, and improve my family’s life. When food and clothing are no longer a problem, I’ll talk about studying and getting a job. Son."

Qiaomei was still happy when she heard what Liao Qing said, but Gu Yunqing's words weighed heavily on her heart like a heavy stone.

Although she liked Liao Qing, what my cousin said was true, and my mother would not agree, and I was afraid that it would be me who would suffer in the future, but I finally met someone who was attracted to me, and I didn't want to just give up.

The atmosphere in the room rose to a point of contradiction again. Qiaomei came into the room with a bitter gourd in her hand. Seeing Gu Yunqing huffing, Liao Qing's expression was not much better. She put the bitter gourd on the table and said with a smile, " Brother Yunqing, Brother Liao, try this cold bitter gourd, my sister-in-law Xiaoyu makes it delicious, the taste of this bitter gourd is quite strange, it is bitter first and then sweet."

After saying this, leaving two pairs of chopsticks behind, she excused herself to get some wine and went out.

However, Liao Qing repeated the last four words Qiaomei said over and over again, first bitterness and then sweetness, first bitterness and then sweetness, is it because she is too obsessed with fame and fame, looking back, her parents at home have already been overwhelmed by her exams. Things changed and the family property was sold, and now my mother is still lingering on the sick bed, but I still only think about the sages and sages, maybe, I am really too selfish.

This kind of epiphany made Liao Qing himself never think of it. He picked up his chopsticks and asked Gu Yunqing, "Brother Yunqing, may I try this bitter melon first?"

Gu Yunqing was originally very angry at what he said just now, but now seeing him changing the subject as if nothing had happened, he said angrily, "Eat, eat."

Liao Qing added a piece of bitter gourd and put it into his mouth. The taste of his mouth made him frown involuntarily, but he relaxed after a while. He thought, if he could change the status quo, he might be like this bitter gourd. Bitter sweet.

He put down his chopsticks, and said to Gu Yunqing seriously, "Brother Yun, what you said is very true, but I don't do handicrafts. If I'm looking for a job, what should I do?"

Seeing him suddenly enlightened, Gu Yunqing felt a little fond of him, and his words were not as fierce as before, and he said lightly, "You can use your literacy skills, and you can go to the town to be an accountant, or It would be nice to be a teacher in our village."
