Chapter 42 Mother-in-law Tofu, Unpalatable

Zhao Qingshan thought of his mother, wife and children at home, he swallowed heavily, saluted again and thanked him, then trotted down the mountain.Such a big bowl of meat, if you take it back earlier and ask your wife to put some potatoes back into the pot, it will be enough for the whole family to taste delicious.

The rest of the handymen were also so thoughtful. After taking the meat bowl and thanking them repeatedly, they ran away without a trace.

Dong Rong is not a stingy person, every handyman was given a big bowl of top-notch ones, but she made a big clay pot of braised pork, even if she divided more than a dozen bowls, there was still a big bowl left. Little half.After thinking about it, she placed a small table under the shade of the tree, then asked the little medicine boy to sit down, and opened a small table for him alone.

The little drug boy couldn't hold it anymore, he turned his head to see that the masters, young and old, had no intention of stopping him, so he sat down and gorged himself until the corners of his mouth dripped and he didn't even have time to pay attention.Dong Rong pitied him for selling himself as a servant at a young age, and raised her hand to give him another spoonful of meat.In the end, I put all the remaining braised pork into a small clay pot, and wrapped more than a dozen dry-fried small yellow croakers, and put them all in the basket.

Although Silly Zhu was eating and drinking with the master, he kept watching his wife's movements out of the corner of his eyes, so he asked, "Where are you going?"

Dong Rong smiled and said, "I'll go back to the village to deliver some meat dishes to my parents and my second sister. You gossip with Uncle Feng, and I'll be right back."

Silly Zhu responded, got up and sent her to the intersection, and only turned around when he saw her go downhill.

Elder Feng took a sip of his wine and praised again, "This Mrs. Dong is kind-hearted and considerate in everything she does. She is really a good woman from IKEA. I just don't know how that old-fashioned Dong Xiucai can teach such a good daughter?"

Silly Zhu raised his chin unconsciously, and smiled proudly, "Brother Ping is also a good character, and he studies hard. Maybe he will become a champion in the future."

Without the presence of outsiders, the master and apprentice naturally had no scruples, chatting and laughing comfortably while eating and drinking, which is rare to be happy.

Qingfeng ate half of it in one go, and when he saw that there was still half of the braised pork in the big bowl, he thought about it.He rolled his eyes, picked up the big bowl to avoid the sight of the two masters, ran to the back of the hut lightly, and whispered to the quiet woods, "Oh, this braised pork is really delicious. There is nothing better in the world than this..."

He was just showing off triumphantly, when suddenly a gust of wind blew up out of nowhere, blowing up sand and mud and fascinating his eyes.He quickly squatted down and put down the meat bowl, cursing and kneading. When he finally opened his eyes, he found that the pot beside him was empty.

"Ah, my meat!" Qingfeng regretted holding the empty bowl in his heart, why did he forget that Jiayi's lightness kung fu was so good.Now it’s all right, but it’s a big loss to show off, he shouted angrily, “Jia Yi, return my meat. This is my wife’s reward, you meat thief! I want to tell the son Go with sir, you bully me!"

Not far away, under the dense bushes, a young man in dark green clothes was crossing his legs, licking his lips and reminiscing about the wonderful smell just now, and at the end he was picking his ears slowly, completely ignoring the threat of the little drug boy .He has long been coveting this delicious dish cooked by his wife himself. Last time, he was so greedy that he drooled in the small courtyard outside the city, and was almost spotted by Dong's scholar Lang.How could Qingfeng send it to him so proactively today, how could he let it go?

Elder Feng and Murong Huaide, master and apprentice, heard the boy yelling, and probably laughed when they guessed the matter.Feng Lao called Qingfeng over, stretched out his hand and pushed the meat bowl on the table to the front and said with a smile, "You, every time you tease Jiayi, you fail, and you always don't have a long memory."

Qingfeng blushed a little, and argued, "He relies on martial arts and always cheats." After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to delay the master's conversation, and after saluting and thanking him, he went down with the meat bowl.This time he held the bowl tightly in his arms, ate it all, and finally belched contentedly thinking about it. In the future, he must encourage Feng Lao to come for a walk on the mountain, so that he can follow him more. I ate.

He didn't mention how the greedy little drug boy was planning, but only said that Dong Rong returned to Cao's house with a basket.Mrs. Cao went out in the morning to gossip with the old ladies in the village, and she gained countless envy and jealousy, and she was in a good mood.So it was rare and generous at lunch time, stewing an extra bowl of tofu with more than a dozen slices of fatty meat in it.The family of three was laying out a large piece of pancake, planning to roll tofu for dinner, but Dong Rong suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Panicked, Mrs. Cao reached out for the pottery bowl and stuffed it under her skirt.Xia Ri was wearing thin clothes, and the tofu was just out of the pot, so hot that she grinned, but she refused to take it out, for fear that her daughter-in-law would stay for dinner, and the good meat slices would be stuffed into the belly of this outsider.

Old man Cao frowned in annoyance, he really hated the old woman's stingy temper.Second Sister Cao also blushed with shame. She wanted to persuade her mother, but she couldn't get rid of her mother, so she quickly got up and greeted her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, why are you back at this time? It's hot, I'll give you Get some water and wash your face."

Dong Rong had already seen Mrs. Cao's tricks, and she was really angry and funny, so she pretended not to know the slightest smile and grabbed her sister-in-law and said, "Second sister, don't be busy, it's only a few miles away, I It doesn't feel hot either."

Second Sister Cao walked back awkwardly, and then secretly glanced at the pained old lady, feeling very anxious but didn't know what to do.

Granny Cao's molars were gritted sorely, and her belly was burned until she lost consciousness.She lowered her head and sniffed secretly, it seemed that there was a burnt aroma, so she became more and more frightened, and threw away the pottery bowl and hurriedly lifted her clothes to check, but she felt that she was suffering in vain.Just when he was hesitating, old man Cao couldn’t bear to see his old woman sad, so he coughed twice and said, “Why is Sister Rong carrying a basket? But there is a shortage of vegetables and food on the mountain. I will ask your mother to pack some for you later .”

Mrs. Cao immediately widened her eyes and wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, old man Cao stared back severely.

Dong Rong was only angry for a while, and took the opportunity to punish Mrs. Cao a little bit, but she didn't want to do too much to offend her father-in-law and sister-in-law.So she put it away as soon as she was ready, opened the cloth curtain on the basket and brought out the meat bowl and the plate with the small yellow croakers, and said with a smile, "Thank you for thinking about me and Zhuzi, there is no shortage of food on the mountain for the time being. But I made two today. It’s a delicious dish, and I specially brought it back for my parents and second sister to taste something new.”

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she hurriedly stretched her head to look at the table, but as soon as the big bowl of braised pork and golden fried fish came into her eyes, she couldn't pull it out completely.She got up happily and wanted to hug the bowl to her side, but she forgot that there was a tofu bowl hidden under her skirt.As a result, with a bang, the tofu bowl fell to the ground and shattered, splashing the soup.

Dong Rong frowned, stepped forward to help pick up the pottery bowl, and asked, "Why did mother put such a hot tofu bowl on her belly? What if it burns?"

Old man Cao looked at the meat bowl on the table, then at the shredded tofu on the ground, he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the floor.The parents-in-law are actually reluctant to part with a bowl of tofu, but the daughter-in-law is extremely filial, and even those who travel far away will send back delicious food.

Second Sister Cao also blushed so red that she could bleed, and she was never willing to smooth things over for my old lady.

On the contrary, Mrs. Cao really deserves to be a person with a thick skin comparable to a city wall. She insisted on holding the meat bowl and fried fish in front of her, and then she stretched out her foot and kicked the broken pottery bowl under the table, and then pretended to do nothing. Said as if nothing happened, "It's rare that you still know that there are parents-in-law and younger sister at home. Remember to bring back more delicious food in the future. As the old saying goes, a daughter-in-law who steals food will be struck by lightning, and I'm doing this for your own good."

Dong Rong pursed her lips, barely suppressing the suffocation in her chest.She rolled her eyes fiercely, and swore to herself that she would rather be struck by lightning than give the old woman half a piece of meat.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law did not refute, Mrs. Cao consciously found a little bit of a mother-in-law posture, and was thinking about reprimanding a few more words, but at this time the courtyard door was pushed open again.

"Mother, you should get rid of that little fairy of the Dong family soon. Er Gouzi's next door to my house is eating a big bowl of meat. I heard that it was the little fox who rewarded it. You said that she had all the meat for outsiders to eat. Let's eat it." I didn't see a piece of it at home, this dead girl who deserves to be plagued..."

Sister Cao dragged her two scrawny sons with dirty clothes, followed by the thieves Chen Lao Er, a family of four rushed in.Eldest sister Cao also has bad eyesight, so she scolded Dong Rong until she walked to the table and saw the sneering Dong Rong.She was shocked at once, but then she felt that she was right, so she was about to say a few hard words.

It's a pity that Dong Rong listened impatiently, reached out to touch the dishes on the table, and then left without saying a word, carrying the basket.

"Sister, you really..." Second Sister Cao stomped her feet angrily, Xiao Pao stepped forward to help her sister-in-law and sent her out.

Dong Rong is not a person who likes to vent anger. When she came out of the courtyard, she saw that her sister-in-law was about to shed tears, so she patted her hand and smiled, "Second sister, don't think too much, sister-in-law knows what's on your mind. I will spend more time in the future." Come up the mountain to play, my sister-in-law will order delicious food for you."

After hearing this, Second Sister Cao felt even more ashamed, tears could not be held back anymore and fell down.She sobbed and said, "Sister-in-law, our mother and eldest sister are not bad, but... Hey, you and my brother will live a good life in the future, and you don't have to worry about family all the time."

Dong Rong smiled faintly, raised her hand to touch her head, and left the village with a basket in her hand.

Second Sister Cao wiped away her tears and went back to the yard unhappily.Sister Cao was complaining that Mrs. Cao didn't warn her in advance, you must know that she planned to curry favor with her sister-in-law and then send her man into the orchard to take care of things.It's good now, yesterday he was arrested for stealing, and today he was blocked for swearing.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law had left, Mrs. Cao felt sorry for the broken pottery bowl. She bent down to pick up the pieces under the table and called to her little daughter, "Second sister, go get a broom! It's all about that little vixen's fault. It's not a good time to come." , just in time for dinner. A good bowl of tofu is a filial piety to the local people!"

The second sister Cao heard that not only did the old lady not feel ashamed at all, but she was still so unreasonable. She also lost her temper very rarely, turned around and went into the wing room and refused to come out.
