The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 129 To Coax Tuantuan To Sleep By Himself

After Mr. Liu asked Wen Baoji in Songjia Village, he finally had some understanding, and he finally knew what to do with the people from Ge Village.

But what counts is what counts, and it is not so easy to actually operate it.

But Master Liu also understood in his heart that Wen Bao, a woman, had given him so many ideas, so he really couldn't make things difficult for her anymore.

Wen Liushi saw that her father's eyes were red when he lost a lot of weight, and her aunt died young. If her father hadn't protected her, she wouldn't have the good marriage she has today.

"Daddy, rest here with your daughter for a while, hug your grandson, and my daughter will cook for Daddy right away."

After Wen Liu's words were spoken, he handed his son in his arms over Wen Chengquan to Mrs. Liu, then looked at Wen Bao and said, "Sister, sister-in-law, let me borrow your kitchen today to cook some delicious meals for my father."

Wen Liushi wanted to borrow pots and bowls, Wen Bao naturally would not disagree, she just wanted everyone Xue to prepare all the ingredients, but Wen Liushi shook her head.

"I have it at home. Your fourth brother bought it when he came back."

As soon as Wen Chengquan heard his daughter-in-law talking about him, he immediately nodded, and was about to speak to his daughter-in-law when he saw Wen Liushi go straight out of the main room.

Mr. Liu loves to eat rice, and Mrs. Wen Liu used Wen Bao's pot and bowl to steam white rice for Mr. Liu, and made a braised pork and cabbage soup.

But one dish and one soup, one meat and one vegetable, Mr. Liu's mouth was full of greasy food, but Wen Chengquan just sat on the side and made rice with broth and felt aggrieved.

The daughter-in-law seemed to be angry with him.

Wen Bao saw that the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother were angry, and she was not going to persuade her. It must be that the fourth brother offended the fourth sister-in-law.

What's more, Wen Bao still hated Wen Chengquan for telling Master Liu the truth about her.

When Master Liu left on horseback, Wen Chengquan stayed in Songjia Village.

"Daughter-in-law, can the ice fishing you mentioned work?"

Song Dalang went out with the Wu family's caravan this time, and he naturally passed through the Qinglong River. Although he thought it was really good for his wife to say about fishing in the Qinglong River, he was worried that he would not be able to use it.

"It's nothing. I've already told Uncle Liu the method. With so many capable people under his command, it can always be done."

Although Wen Bao was a little annoyed at his fourth brother's behavior of selling him out, but after all, it was a matter of hundreds of lives, so she didn't care about it with him.

"Then after the New Year, do you really have a solution?"

Although they in Nanning County had a certain income from growing cabbage this autumn, it was enough to support the people in Nanning County, let alone the people in Ge Village.

"There is a way, Dalang, don't worry, next spring, I will definitely have a way."

What Wen Bao is worried about now is not that there is nothing to do in spring, but that she will reach her due date after spring, and she may give birth at any time.

Although it was the second time she had given birth, she was still a little nervous.

Not to mention how Mr. Liu will operate in the county with the plan given by Wen Bao, Songjia Village is starting to prepare for the New Year.

In the past, they had to prepare a lot of delicious food for the new year, but this year, there was a drought and then a few days of heavy rain, and the grain was not harvested. Many things they have now are shipped from other places.

Thanks to the presence of the Wu family caravan, otherwise it would cost a lot of money just to buy these things from other merchants.

The children have long been looking forward to the Chinese New Year. Although they also know that this year is not good, the children's world is very simple. When the Chinese New Year comes, there should be delicious food.

With a seven-month-old belly, Wen Bao began to plan what to cook for the children during the Chinese New Year.

"My father and mother's intention is to keep it simple. You are still pregnant, so don't be so tired."

When Huai Tuan Tuan was in the past, Wen Bao ate well and felt comfortable every day, but this year's life was difficult. Although Wen Bao and his family had no shortage of food, it was not as good as when Huai Tuan Tuan was.

As Wen Bao's pregnancy got longer, she often woke up with leg cramps and pain at night these days.

"I talked to a lot of people, and they all said that I can't buy ewes this year, otherwise you can drink goat milk for nourishment."

Hearing Song Dalang's words, Wen Bao couldn't help laughing, this Song Dalang also knows how to drink goat's milk to nourish his body.

But where can I find milk-producing ewes in Nanning County now?

Thinking of goat milk, Wen Bao, who was wondering what to eat during the Chinese New Year, suddenly thought of soy products.

There are also tofu and dried tofu now, but there are no dried tofu with various flavors in later generations.

There is not much meat at home this year, and we can't make much braised pork, but when Wen Bao thinks of various flavors of stewed tofu, he feels that he finally doesn't have to worry about it.

Many people in Songjia Village can make tofu, including Song Dalang.

As soon as Wen Bao heard that he was going to make dried tofu, Song Dalang immediately went to prepare beans.

"Don't rush to soak in the water, let's pick it out."

Song Dalang was very puzzled by Wen Bao's practice of picking beans when making dried tofu, but Wen Bao insisted.

She needs to choose the ingredients carefully for the dried tofu she wants to make. The soybeans are not good, which will directly affect the taste of the dried tofu later.

Picking beans is very simple, even Tuantuan can do it, move a small bench, sit in the middle of parents, and Tuantuan also picked beans for a quarter of an hour.

When the beans are selected, they need to be washed and soaked. We can’t make dried beans today, but Wen Bao plans to prepare brine today.

Wen Bao is going to make two flavors of dried tofu, five-spice and spicy, and these spices are always available at home. She likes to use various herbs in her cooking, and everyone in the family knows.

When Wen Youcai heard that Wen Bao was going to make dried tofu, he immediately asked the boys in the family to start picking beans, ready to make some together.

What Wen Youcai told Wen Bao was that the kids in the family could eat as much as they could, and let them do it themselves.

But Wen Bao knew that her father had heard that the dried tofu was also delicious as a side dish.

"Daughter-in-law, I thought that since I made dried tofu, I might as well make some more tofu. It's better to freeze it and eat it in a pot, or keep it in water for cooking."

Song Dalang asked Wen Bao for his opinion, but Wen Bao let Song Dalang make up his own mind.

It is inconvenient for her to do anything with her big belly. With Song Dalang and Wu Yong doing it, she only needs to be on the sidelines to guide.

After soaking the beans early the next morning, Song Dalang finally started to grind the beans to make tofu.

"Da Lang, after grinding the soybean milk, put some out and keep it for the family to drink."

Seeing raw soy milk flowing out of the stone mill, Wen Bao remembered that she could drink soy milk every day, not only for her, but also for other members of the family.

With soy milk, some fritters can also be fried. There are oils and noodles at home, and it is not troublesome to make some fritters.

Originally, Wen Bao was still thinking about what to eat for Chinese New Year this year, but now the more he thinks about it, the more he is satisfied.

If there are more ingredients at home, there are ways to have more ingredients, but if there are fewer ingredients, she finally found a way to have fewer ingredients.

Song Dalang had ground the soy milk, filtered it and started to boil it, and Wen Bao was waiting to drink the soy milk.

Not only soy milk, but also tofu flower. There are shrimp skins and seaweed brought back by Song Dalang at home. It is no problem to make a bowl of salty tofu flower.

Tuantuan felt that her good days had come again.

Ever since my parents told me to make dried tofu yesterday, the dried tofu is not ready yet, but she has already tasted the sweet soy milk and the fragrant bean curd.

Wen Bao asked everyone Xue to prepare deep-fried dough sticks. The fried dough sticks are delicious, and the dough is the key. Modern people like to add other things to it, but Wen Bao does not.

In addition to oil, salt, old noodles and edible alkali, she also added eggs.

The food you eat at home doesn’t need to look too good-looking, as long as it’s delicious.

So when Tuantuan sees the fritters, its appearance is not very good-looking.

According to Wen Bao's instructions, none of the dried tofu she wanted would be too big, and Song Dalang cooked the dried tofu that Wen Bao wanted very carefully.

The dried tofu is ready, and the rest is the stew prepared by Wenbao.

Wuxiang is actually prepared for children, but when Wen Bao saw Tuantuan staring at the spicy soup base drooling, he thoughtfully prepared a pot of slightly spicy soup base for the children.

The only difference between Wen Bao’s dried tofu and other people’s is the soup base of Wen Bao’s stew.

In fact, if the soup base is stewed with meat, the stewed tofu will be more fragrant, but this year there is less meat in the family, and Wen Bao only marinated a little five-spice pork head and trotters.

The family began to prepare things for the New Year. The children didn't like to go out to play every day. They waited at home all day, looking forward to the new food coming out, and the adults in the family would let them try it.

The heavy snow is still falling intermittently, because of the heavy snow, Wen Bao and Meihua seldom go out. As more and more food preparations are made at home, the New Year is getting closer.

"Da Lang, why don't you take Tuantuan with you this year?"

This year it was inconvenient for her to go to the grave with her big belly, so she agreed when Song Dalang proposed to take Tuan Tuan with her, but now that she thought about it, Tuantuan was still young, so what if she got scared.

Song Dalang originally wanted to take Tuantuan to show his father, but now when he heard Wen Bao's words, he felt that he hadn't considered it well.

"It's because I didn't think carefully. If this is the case, I will wait a few more years."

Listening to the conversation between father and mother, Tuantuan turned over between them with his butt pouted, put his little hand on mother's stomach lightly, and asked, "Mother, where is Daddy going to take Tuantu?"

Wen Bao and Song Dalang thought that Tuantuan was asleep at first, but this girl was not asleep and even overheard their conversation.

Song Dalang hugged the ball and moved up, then said softly: "Father originally planned to take you up the mountain, but you are too young now, I will take you there when you are older."

"why!"

As soon as he heard that his father didn't want to take him up the mountain, Tuantuan immediately didn't want to.

She has been so obedient recently that she didn't go out to play.

Song Dalang wanted to explain to Tuantuan that the mountain he went up tomorrow was not the previous one, and there were many dead people buried there, but he heard Wen Bao coaxing Tuantuan: "Tomorrow, father and uncle are going out to do some business, isn't Tuantuan at home to protect mother and aunt? , Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Tuantuan will still be at home helping mother prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

Seeing that Song Dalang wanted to explain to Tuantuan, Wen Bao interrupted him, Tuantuan is so small, how could she understand so many explanations to her.

But because Tuantuan didn't fall asleep to eavesdrop today, she also had a long memory.

Tuantuan is getting bigger and bigger, it's not suitable to sleep in the same bed with them, it's just winter now, and when it's warm in spring, Tuantuan must be coaxed to sleep by himself.
