Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 39

When he arrived in the town, Li Kongzhu did not choose the store in the last episode to stay.Instead, he went to the Dongji trading place with the basket.

As soon as we got there, we saw quite a few people already occupying favorable booths.

At this time, there are not many fresh vegetables, and most of them sell some ground beans, cabbage and poultry.

Li Kongzhu found a not-so-good place to stand, watching the slow-moving grocery buyers passing by.He shouted at the top of his voice: "Hawthorn cake is sour, sweet and saliva-promoting. The baby eats more food, the elderly eat it to help digestion, and the body is lighter! Buy three yuan, add one penny and get another piece for free! Not many, first come, first served, benefit!"

The corners of Zhao Junyi's mouth twitched as he stood quietly at the back, feeling that this woman could really be so shameless at any time.

And the libretto, I changed it again and again, but there was no repeat, it really made him speechless.

When she yelled, many residents in the town who bought vegetables gathered around and asked her why she came here to sell.

Li Diaozhu only said that he didn't want to go to Miso Shop to grab business, and it's the same here.

With that familiar customer, I couldn't help complaining that there have been many candied haws in the town recently, not to mention the unpalatable ones, and the ones pretending to be haw jelly, which are even more unpleasant.

"I bought it twice, and I was cheated twice. I was so greedy that I heard people say that Miso Fong produced hawthorn cake. I went to buy some and tasted it. Although the taste is right, the price is much higher. .It’s not like yours, which is bigger and thicker than that in the store!”

The customer took the wrapped three pieces of cakes, and took the other one as a gift: "Why didn't you see the candied haws, and I was thinking of making a candied haws!"

"I've been busy for the past few days, so I forgot to clean up the fruits. I'll have them in the next episode. It's not bad to send hawthorn cakes with a piece of paper. This piece of meat is comparable to many bunches of candied haws!"

"That's it!" The man smiled, "Then I'll let it dry when I go home, and eat slowly. Next time, I'll buy it from you!"

"Hey, good! Thank you, brother!"

After the man who was called Big Brother left contentedly, someone called again to make haw jelly.Li Kongzhu responded one by one with a smile, asked Zhao Junyi to carry the basket in his hand, and wrapped it up more quickly.

When the last piece was sold out, Li Kongzhu propped up the heavy lotus bud in his hand and said, "I'm going to eat meat today, I'm treating you!"

After all, she proudly handed the basket to the man, while she swaggered towards the butcher's stall.

I picked three big bone sticks, bought a pair of pigs, and bought a few catties of suet to put them on.

After paying the money, Li Kongzhu went back to Jishang to buy some eggs and cabbage.

After finishing the work, the two drove towards the gate of the city together, preparing to go home.

When I got home from the town, it was still a while before noon.

Li Diaozhu thought about boiling the suet and making steamed buns with oil residue and cabbage.

Soak the pig's offal in vinegar to remove the smell, knead the noodles with the dough, light the fire, take the cutting board and put it on the stove outside, and throw the suet on it.

While cutting the suet, he was about to ask Zhao Junyi to break the bones and sticks to make soup, when he didn't want to hear a loud call from outside, "Dear!"

Li Kongzhu felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he heard it.When he looked up towards the door, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"Why, after a few days of marriage, I don't even know my mother-in-law!"

Those who are dissatisfied and complained outside are not others.It was Yuan Shen's biological mother, Hao Shi.

I saw her wearing a dark thick padded jacket, gray cloth covering her head, and holding a blue bag in her hand.A pair of big pleated eyes stared at her dissatisfiedly and called, "What are you doing in a daze, open the door!"

Zhao Junyi from the room came out.Seeing the person coming, Meifeng frowned subconsciously.

Li Kongzhu quickly put down the kitchen knife in his hand.After washing his hands in the basin and wiping them clean, he took off his apron and hurried over.

"Mother, why are you here?"

"Why, is it possible that you still want to deny your mother's family for the rest of your life!" A bitter voice sounded from beside Hao Shi.

When Li Diaozhu approached, he saw that Li Meilan and his original brother Li Jingzhe also followed.Due to the small opening, the two stood beside Hao Shi, blocked by the wall.

When the seven-year-old Li Jingzhe saw her eldest sister, she shouted with a smile on her face and big eyes, "Eldest sister!"

Li Kongzhu nodded with a smile, and opened the fence to let them in.

As soon as Hao entered the hospital, he looked around and couldn't help but complain, "Why did you get bullied like this? What does this look like!"

"Mother-in-law!" Zhao Junyi came over indifferently and saluted with hands clasped.

Seeing his cold face, Hao Shi felt a little displeased.

I wanted to make a few words of trouble, but when I saw his cold brows and cold eyes without any warmth, I felt a little stage fright.After humming a few times, he told Li Kongzhu to lead the way to the hut.

"Boss at noon, what are you chopping?" When he walked to the eaves and saw the white suet on the cutting board of the stove, Hao couldn't help but stop and stare at the oil.

"I bought some suet and came back to cook the oil. I thought it would be a while before Xiangwu head, so I made the noodles. After the oil was boiled, I made a bun with oil residue."

"Baby buns!" Li Jingzhe who was behind couldn't help sucking the saliva that flowed out, stretched his neck and followed to look at the stove.

"I haven't eaten steamed stuffed buns for a long time!" On weekdays, my mother picks them tightly, and the steamed buns are filled with pickles all day long, without even a little oil or water.

Li Diaozhu tied the apron around his waist again, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I'll pack more today, and when you go back later, take some more!"

"Qi! Look, you really got rich! Even the meat buns are taken by your natal family."

Li Meilan hummed indifferently.But Hao frowned and shouted, "You son, what's going on, what are you talking about!"

Li Meilan was taken aback by the words, snorted, and turned away in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Junyi happened to bring out a stool and put it under the eaves.

"There's a stove in the room, it's a bit crowded, let's sit under the eaves for the time being, mother-in-law and younger siblings!"

After that, he went into the house and moved the table out, served the bowl and poured water.

Hao Shi saw him move swiftly and swiftly.Although lame, it does not appear to be weak.So he calmed down a little bit of the anger in his heart because he didn't let him enter the house.

Putting the basket in his hand on the table, seeing Li Diaozhu cutting the suet, he couldn't help but slapped his second daughter, "Go and help!"

Li Meilan was a little reluctant.She was wearing a fine cotton dress, so what if it got scratched.

Hao Shi knew what she was thinking when she saw her pouting her lips. In a blink of an eye, she said to her son again, "Go and get some firewood for your eldest sister!"

"Hey!"

Li Jingzhe happily jumped off the stool.Walking over quickly, he called out: "Eldest sister, I will help you light the fire!"

"No need! Just sit there and rest. I'm busy with this little work!"

Li Kongzhu smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, just let him sit beside him.

Hao Shi looked her up and down suspiciously for a long time.I didn't pay attention to it just now, so I will look carefully, it seems that this girl has become a lot more diligent since she entered the door without saying a word.

You must know that when I was just sent back from the big family.This damn girl is either making noise or making noise.Whoever is going to die as a monster all day long has never thought about it, and there is such a virtuous side.

Hao Shi got up from the stool and watched her skillfully cut the oil out of the pot quickly.While squatting down with the firewood in his hands, he shouted into the house again, "Master, take out the cabbage I bought today, and I'll stuff it."

The man took out a wilting cabbage from the house and handed it to her.

She quickly peeled off the wilted leaves wrapped around the outside, revealing the white and tender inside.

After washing the cutting board, shred the cabbage first, then dice it, and then crush it.The whole process was done in one go, without even the slightest extra breath.

Put the stamped vegetables into the wooden basin, sprinkle some salt and wait for the water to be marinated.

Then I went into the room and took out the dough-raising basin, put it on the clean table, and started kneading the dough...

After the oil residue is boiled out, the stuffing is mixed, the buns are wrapped and put on the steamer.

When Li Kongzhu came down to wipe his hands and turned around, he realized that Hao Shi was staring at her for a moment.

My heart skipped a beat, I don't know how long she looked at it.Li Kongzhu hurriedly smiled calmly: "Mother, what are you looking at!"

Hao Shi shook her head and looked at her with a strange expression, "You girl, you used to be noisy and crazy at home, so you thought you couldn't do anything."

"I'm a servant, so there's no one who doesn't know how to do things. If I don't know how, the owner's family would have sent me away and resold me!"

"That's true!" Hearing what she said, Hao nodded in agreement.Then he sighed again, "It's a pity that such a good monthly money is lost!"
