Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 31
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunsheng actually made dried tofu, and many of them were placed in the yard to dry.I also made a few sheets of tofu skin, waiting for Xu Ru to teach me how to eat it.

Xu Ru taught Zhang Chunsheng several home-cooked ways to eat dried tofu skin, such as cold salad with dried shredded tofu, making soup, stir-frying, marinating and so on.He also asked him to go to Yumanlou to find shopkeeper Sun and supply Yumanlou.

"Brother Zhang, why didn't you see Auntie?" Yinhua saw that Brother Zhang was busy alone, and Aunt Zhang who was still helping last time did not see her today.

"Hey, my mother's old problems have happened again in the past two days. Her waist and legs hurt, and she is dizzy. She will lie on the bed now." Speaking of his mother, Zhang Chunsheng has a sad face.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you find a wife? If you marry a wife, you can take care of your mother, and you can also have a helper in business." Zhang Chunsheng seems to be twenty this year, and Xu Ru is also very curious about why he Do not marry.

"I said one a few years ago. Let's forget it after my father's accident." He glanced at Yinhua who was helping to sweep the floor in the house, and said, "The family is poor, and no one in the ordinary girl's family can look up to us. Besides, my mother is not in good health. If you want to marry, you should find someone who is good to your mother, hey, there is no rush." ​​He said it very freely, and he didn't feel any pity or sadness because of his divorce.

"Brother Zhang is such a good person, girls will definitely like him." Yinhua smiled and glanced at him.

Xu Ru thinks that Zhang Chunsheng is really good, and it seems that the second sister likes him too, but she doesn't know whether it is considered a private relationship in ancient times. What are the requirements for a woman's marriage in this era, she plans to ask her mother when she has the opportunity, and then Promote the marriage of the second sister.

Back home in the afternoon, Xu Ru took out the dogwood that had been dried before, and wrapped a small bag for Yinhua.

"Second sister, go to Brother Zhang's house another day and give this to him. Boil a little tea every day, which is good for his mother's illness. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, our family also boils it every day. We will wait until tomorrow." Go and pick some." This dogwood strengthens the body, strengthens the immune system, nourishes the kidneys and blood, and it seems to be good for Mrs. Zhang's illness.I picked it for so long and forgot.

"Fourth sister, the second uncle came to the house at noon, but it was fierce, hehe, and was told to go away by the third sister again." Abao reported to Xu Ru while eating candied haws.

"Hmph, seeing that my family's life is getting better, I come here to find fault, and there is no door!" Zhaodi said bitterly.

It turned out that the second uncle's family knew that their family was doing peanut cooking business with Yumanlou recently, and also heard that the Xu family had a secret recipe of five-spice powder, so they insisted that it was passed down by the ancestors of the Xu family at that time, and asked them to take the secret recipe. Come out, or let them do business with Yumanlou.

Xu Ru also knew that her family's business was more conspicuous, and it was inevitable that people would be jealous, but she didn't expect to have such shameless relatives.

Since they are shameless, don't blame her for being ruthless, if they dare to come again, they have their own countermeasures.

In the evening, Xu Ru, who was talking to her mother in the house, heard the commotion in the yard.

Xu Ru came out of the house and saw several people standing in the yard, two of whom she did not recognize.

"Boss, hurry up and hand over the five-spice powder. This is what my father passed on to you. I said that my father is too partial. He is also a son, but he only passed it on to you." It was the second uncle who spoke, and he told his father Three-point image, but still relatively young.

"Yeah brother, it's hard for you to hide it from us. Why didn't you bring out such a good thing earlier? We are all on our own. Do you understand the principle of sharing blessings?" Second Aunt said loudly on purpose, as if Everyone standing is deaf.

"You fart, my fourth sister obviously came up with this formula, and it's not a family tradition as you said." Zhao Di pushed into the crowd and retorted loudly.

"Tsk tsk, sister-in-law, look at the children you teach. Is there anyone who talks to the elders like this? It's too uneducated. Besides, isn't the silly girl a fool? What formula will she think of." Second Aunt's harsh words, in the There was a sound among the crowd.

"Liu Yuejing, pay attention to what you say, the fourth girl's illness is already cured, if you talk about my fourth child, I won't be polite to you." Xu's mother pointed to the second aunt and said angrily.

With a "puchi", Xu Ru laughed inappropriately.

This second aunt's name is really weird, menstruation?

Everyone looked at her laughing alone there, and they couldn't figure it out.The second aunt was even more ashamed and annoyed, this dead girl must be laughing at me.

"I'm telling the truth. You've all seen it. This fourth brother is obviously a fool. How could he come up with this recipe? I think the recipe for boiling peanuts and peanut beans was also passed down to the eldest by my father-in-law. "Liu Yuejing continued with righteous words.

"My second son's family, how can you say that, I have never heard of any secret recipes at home, you are making trouble out of no reason." At this time, the third aunt stood up and said something fair.

"That's right, second brother, when my father died back then, the three brothers were all in front of me. Besides, your father loved you the most. How hurtful it is for you to say such words now." A middle-aged man with a refined appearance the man said.

"Hey, uncle, it's not unreasonable for you to say this. You said that my father loves our family the most, and it's too ruthless. If my father didn't go bankrupt for you to study, the family wouldn't be so poor. You are doing well now, when you get better, you start to forget about the book, and you come to make arrangements for our family to have food."

Once the second aunt said this, it was difficult for the second uncle's family to say anything more, and the second uncle stood there with a dark face.

It is true that the third uncle is the one who reads the most, but he only took the xiucai exam once and didn't pass the exam, so he didn't read again. He has been writing letters to people on the street and doing odd jobs to subsidize his family.Two years after the second uncle got married, the second aunt in front gave birth to Chunmei and died of dystocia. Then she hooked up with this Liu Yuejing for some reason, and insisted on marrying her, and the Liu family asked for a high betrothal gift, so they had to borrow a lot. external debt.Later, when Liu Yuejing came in, the family was divided, but the foreign debts were shared equally among the three brothers.

"Arita, you'd better take out the formula, we are all our own people, and we share the blessings."

At this time, an old man with gray hair spoke.

"Second Uncle, this recipe was really thought up by my fourth son, I can't give it to you." Xu Youtian refused.

"Hmph, idiot!" A clear and pleasant voice sounded from the crowd.

When everyone turned their heads, Xu Ru, who was standing behind the crowd, looked at them with a sneer on his face.

"You, you fool, what are you talking about!" The old man who spoke just now looked at Xu Ru angrily.
