Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 67 The quarrel

"Minghui, Minghui..." Seeing that Mrs. Wu was really angry, Bai Chuanbai panicked, quickly dropped the things in his hand, and entered the west side room.

Bai Shao stepped forward and intimately closed the house door for them.

Then, the three little heads crowded under the window, listening with their ears sideways.

"Minghui, you also know that my mother has that temper. We have been here for so long, so bear with it. When we have enough money and can build a house, we will not stay here." Bai Chuanbai hugged Wu Shi's shoulder, and whispered, "I know you have been wronged. Anyone who is happy when suddenly splashed with cold water will feel uncomfortable, but that is my mother, you just bear it, as it is for the children. OK?"

At the very beginning, Wu Shi didn't say a word, but just patiently listened to what Bai Chuanbai said.

When she heard the back, she suddenly twisted her body and got rid of Bai Chuanbai's arm, "You said it was for the child? I believed it for you. Why is it for the child? In her heart, I am an outsider, so I admit it. After all It is true that my surname is Wu, not Bai. But why are the children outsiders? Why are they so disrespected? Yes, she doesn’t know about the brothel sale, but she also wants to use Shao’er as a maid for the Zhu family. Ah, why doesn't she sell Baikou, why doesn't she sell ginkgo, why does she pick my daughter to sell?"

The resentment that has been accumulated for a long time seems to have found a gate to explode at this moment, and flows out violently.

With tears in her eyes, Wu stared at Bai Chuanbai, and murmured, "So I don't even know how much I hate myself, not you, not her, but myself, I can't protect the child, I'm useless, I let her look down on me, even look down on my child, don't treat my child as a human being. Dalang can go to a private school, but my Saburo can only work at home... I don't even know, I hate it so much !"

Bai Chuanbai looked at Mrs. Wu dumbfounded.

Wu Shi in this appearance was very unfamiliar to him, and he pulled Wu Shi's arm in a panic, "Minghui, Minghui, how long ago did this happen, it's time to pass, it's time to pass."

"I can't make it through!" Wu Shi shook off Bai Chuanbai's arm vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't make it through, every time I see Shao'er and Wei'er standing in front of me, I can't make it through from the bottom of my heart, obviously I am an adult, and the two of them are children, but I want them to protect me. Even for us, the three women said, my Wei'er and Shao'er are girls, and they still want to marry But those three women have slandered my daughter's reputation in Heshui Village, how can I get over it!"

Hearing this, Bai Shao and Bai Wei looked at each other.

It's no wonder that when Mrs. Wu came back this evening, they always felt that Mrs. Wu was a little unhappy. After asking, Mrs. Wu smiled and told them they were fine.

Never thought that there was such a thing.

"It shouldn't be them, they all came to help us dig up the land, how can we have time to talk about this." Bai Chuanbai said a little bit.

"It's not them, who are they?" Looking at Bai Chuanbai's honest and kind-hearted appearance, Wu suddenly became a little annoyed, "Who is it if it's not them? If I didn't meet someone I met in Heshui Village when I went home , I don't know that my daughter is said to be like that, what a savage, what a shrew, this is a slander to my daughter, it ruined their lives."

"However, rumors are rumors. Our daughter, we know in our hearts that she is all kind and well-behaved. Minghui, don't be angry. After a long time, you will gradually forget about this matter. Our daughter is still young." Bai Chuanbai persuaded Wu in a low voice.

Mrs. Wu let out a sigh of relief in her chest, and finally felt a little more comfortable, "I don't care, if anyone says that my daughter is not good, I will go up and fight her hard. I have no hope in my life, I can't let me My two daughters go my old way!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Bai Chuanbai at all, opened the door of the west side room directly, fetched a basin of water, washed his face, and covered up the traces of crying.

"mother."

Several little radish heads followed Wu Shi one after another, squatting beside her while she was washing her face.

"Oh, dear." Wu's heart was still full of anger just now, but now after seeing the three children, all of them turned into a puddle of water, "Hey, go to bed early today, didn't Shao Er say that she would have to make Liangpi tomorrow morning. "

Bai Shao nodded, "Mother, no matter what happens, you still have us."

There is no so-called consolation, and there is no so-called enlightenment, just a simple sentence.

Mother, you still have us.

Wu's eyes suddenly turned red.

She quickly lowered her head and washed her eyes with cold water. She didn't want to cry in front of the child.

She wants to be a strong mother.

That night, Wu Shi hugged Bai Wei and Bai Shao, and slept in the small bed of the three children.

As for Bai Chuanbai, he could only sleep pitifully with Bai Yun.

The next morning, Bai Laosan's family still got up very early.

They took what they needed to make iron plate tofu and Liangpi, got on a mule cart, and wandered to Izumo Town.

After arriving at the place, I still pulled the iron plate first, went to the stall that was fixed before, and settled down.

This time, without Bai Chuanbai's mention, the owner of the tofu shop has already spontaneously brought the tofu over.

However, Bai Chuanbai still couldn't be free, he now had two taels of silver to buy two small tables and a few chairs.

This is what Bai Shao said.

Since people eat here, prepare a place to save others from squatting on the side of the road to eat.

It's okay for men to be informal, but women are somewhat embarrassed.

If you have a table, it will be much more convenient.

After Bai Chuanbai bought the tables and chairs and found a relatively spacious place to set them up, the market began to gather people.

Bai Shao still sells the same way as before selling sizzling tofu, try it first, and then decide whether to buy it or not.

Fortunately, with the reputation of the iron plate tofu, many people have a good impression of Bai Shao, a young girl who can make things, so there are rich and powerful people who are willing to buy a cold noodle and try it.

Liangpi, five copper coins a piece.It is compared with the price of Yangchun noodles. A serving of Liangpi is about the same as a bowl of Yangchun noodles. If the order is more expensive, many people will not eat it. If the order is cheaper, Bai Shao will not make money.Therefore, five cents is definitely a very well-proportioned price.

"Give me five cents, and have a bowl of cold skin." The bald man who had been buying Bai Shao's iron plate tofu for several days in a row said with a smile.

"Okay." Bai Shao smiled sweetly at him, lowered his head, and took out two pieces of cold skin from the big basin, asked Mrs. Wu to cut them with a knife, put them in the small basin, and grabbed another handful. The shredded cucumber is mixed with two tablespoons of the previously boiled aniseed water, sweet and sour water, and the diluted sesame paste that has been stirred well, as well as pickles that have been chopped into small pieces.

Use chopsticks to mix the cold noodle with various seasonings evenly, slowly pour it into a porcelain bowl, sprinkle a small handful of fried crispy peanuts on top, and finally put a pair of wooden chopsticks, held by Bai Yunshi, carefully Handed it to the bald man.

The bald man picked up the wooden chopsticks, put a mouthful of Liangpi into his mouth, and chewed it slowly for a while.

Bai Shao was a little nervous, although she liked the taste of this Liangpi very much, it didn't mean that others liked it too.

After a while, the big man put down the wooden chopsticks and frowned.

Bai Shao's heart directly hangs in her throat, a feeling of uneasiness emerges in her heart.

But a moment later, as the bald-headed man suddenly buried his head in his mouth and ate wildly, her heart was in her stomach.

"Okay, delicious." The bald man finished a bowl of cold noodle in a short while, "Give me another one, I want to take it away."

"I'm sorry, because the cold noodle contains soup, so I can't wrap it in oil paper, so I can only eat it here." Bai Wei said aside.

"Ah, you can't take it away? That's a pity." The bald man frowned.

Bai Shao in front of the stall looked at the white porcelain bowl, and suddenly said, "Actually, it's not that you can't take it away, but you have to pay for the bowl, and this small porcelain bowl is only three Wen, so it's a deposit. If you return the bowl intact, we will give you back the three Wen."

The big man suddenly smiled, "Okay, this little girl is smart and flexible, come and take one for me, this is eight cents!"

As he spoke, he took out eight copper coins from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Mrs. Wu.

Bai Shao smiled slightly, made a cold noodle, wrapped the porcelain bowl with oil paper, tied it firmly with hemp rope, and then solemnly handed it to the bald man, telling him not to crooked, to prevent the soup from flowing come out.

The big man nodded again and again, and said happily, "Don't worry, don't worry, I don't want to throw it away if it's so delicious. This Liangpi is really delicious, I'll come back next time."

He has a loud voice, and at this moment he is deliberately soliciting voices for Bai Shao, it can be said that his loud voice can be heard for miles around.

Many people who had been waiting and watching finally rushed over. You buy one and I buy one. Without much effort, they finished buying the Liangpi they made.

"Next time I have to live a little more." Bai Wei said regretfully from the side.

"It's okay, sooner or later it will be ours." Bai Shao is very confident in this point, not to mention that only she knows how to make the cold noodle, but it is very difficult for others to make such a delicious taste with the ingredients!
Only then did Bai Wei loosen his brows and smiled, "Then let's sell iron plate tofu, I bought a lot of tofu today."

Bai Shao nodded, just now people's curiosity about cold noodle made many people temporarily forget about sizzling tofu.Now that the Liangpi is sold out, I secretly feel sorry for those who come late, so I have to buy a plate of iron plate tofu to satisfy my hunger.

Soon, more than half of the 60 yuan tofu sent by the owner of the tofu shop went away.

Bai Wei was very excited and wanted to take Bai Chuanbai to get another 20 yuan tofu.

At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded not far away, "Tofu is on sale. The freshly made iron plate tofu costs three pennies a piece. It's so big. It's cheaper and more delicious than other people's."

As soon as Bai Shao turned her head, she saw Bai Chuanqiong pushing a flat cart, struggling through the crowd, and stopped opposite Bai Laosan's stall.
