Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 174
Su Youwen was a little dazed, he didn't take what Yaya said to heart, and still regretted that Wu Liangping didn't come.

It's just a few quarrels, it's not a big deal at all, when will Mrs. Su Qian not scold a few words?
He even felt an indescribable sense of sadness in his heart, and he couldn't even find anyone who spoke.

When Ban Xia asked him what was in the bowl, he came back to his senses.

This niece has always been eccentric, no matter what he says, she can always answer a few words. I thought she was very clever, but it's a pity that she was tainted with money at a young age. She is a good girl who spends money all day long. Leng is a lot more tacky.

If he would not respond to it in the past, but now he came here in a hurry and was about to return disappointed, he was a little unwilling.

Then he put the contents of the bowl on the table, and said patiently, "Of course it's a good thing."

Hearing that it was a good thing, Yaya also looked over.

Gu Ya'er also looked at Su Youwen without blinking.

His interest immediately increased. Su Youwen is easily agitated. Seeing his nieces all staring at him, he raised his voice, "You know what this is, a gentleman's dish."

Pinellia and the others still don't know what it is, they just look at the breathtaking emerald green in the celadon bowl, and there is some yellowish juice under the emerald green, they can't tell what it is for a while.

Seeing this, Su Youwen smiled even more, "Gentlemen's food is also bitter cold when it is clear, and it can remove heat, improve eyesight, and clear heart, and the same is true for people. When it is cold, the heart is clear..."

Talking freely, I didn't see any strange expressions on Ban Xia's faces.

Gu Ya'er looked at this, and tugged on Yaya's sleeve, Yaya's eyes were so bright that she couldn't figure it out, so Gu Ya'er couldn't say it because of her status as an "adult".

In the end, the greedy heart got the upper hand, and I couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wu, you, are you even more delicious than the candied haws you made?"

Su Youwen can cook and eat, but he can't say he can. It's because of his fineness. In fact, he is a delicious person, but he refuses to admit it on weekdays.

At the beginning, I had argued with Su Youcai, only because Su Youwen made some candied haws that day, which made Su Youcai overwhelmed, and the next time he wanted to eat it, he would come to Su Youwen to ask for it again. Youwen had a good meal, half literate and half white, one was a bit rascal and the other was a bit dull, and they couldn't get over it after talking for a long time.

The scene of two big men arguing over candied haws...

He never tires of eating fine food, but Su Youwen doesn't think that what he occasionally cooks for has anything to do with the chef.He felt that Su Youcai had polluted his mind.

Just talking about the candied haws, he watched Pinellia making fun, looked really elegant, but thought it was too rough, so he carved holes in it, added plum honey, or bean paste stuffing, just looking at it It is pleasing to the eye.

Although it was just that one time, many people in the family still remember it, including Gu Ya'er.

Hearing Gu Ya'er's question, Su Youwen lost interest in the conversation, and sighed, "I wanted to have friends over in my spare time, so I prepared this one, and I can even compose poems, such an elegant thing, but you just said it When it comes to eating, it doesn’t matter, let’s eat.”

Looking at a coaxing child's expression.

Gu Ya'er had the fastest mouth, as soon as she heard about it, she grabbed it with her hands, stuffed it into her mouth, and then spit it out on the ground, her face wrinkled into a ball.

Mint laughed out loud.

Ban Xia couldn't see it, "Gu Ya'er, how old are you, and you still waste things like this."

Seeing it is not bad, how could it not be like this, seeing Gu Ya'er's expression, Ban Xia was already mentally prepared, picked a smaller piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then... swallowed it twistedly.

What a gentleman dish!What is specially made for friends who come from afar, it is obviously bitter melon!It's still cold!I also flattened the corrugation on the outside, looking at the flat board, who would know that it is a bitter melon!
Ban Xia looked at Gu Ya'er, and the conversation changed, "Even if it tastes bad, you have to go out to vomit."

Su Youwen's face changed a little.

Ban Xia asked, "Uncle Wu, why don't you cook this bitter gourd?"

"How can such a clear-minded and clear-eyed thing be able to withstand the smoke and fire, so that it has a real taste, not to mention that there is specially added high-quality honey in it, what a waste of money." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Ban Xia smacked her lips, "Honey? Why didn't I eat it?"

Mint was overjoyed at the side, "Where is there any honey at home? Uncle Wu couldn't find any honey, so he went to ask me for some brown sugar, and he gave it secretly, otherwise the grandma would scold him again if he saw it, but it was just a handful. , but you didn’t see how cautious he was when he cut the knife.”

It turns out that Mint has known for a long time, no wonder they don't eat it.

I don't know where Su Youwen can go with that bowl of bitter gourd.

Banxia simply looked at Yaya, sent Gu Yaer to take her to play, and then asked Mint about Wumei.

"I don't know. Every time I saw her, I said it well. She came back more often. My mother has been taking Yuan Lei at home, and she fell ill last time. It's okay for the elder sister to come back. It's just the elder brother-in-law who came back." Time is short, how did you say it back then, now, hum!" Mint was a little annoyed.

Pinellia is somewhat clear.

Mrs. Sun was very satisfied with Wu Mei's marriage to Jufeng Tower. Wu Mei ate well and dressed well, so she didn't think much about it.

At this moment, Wu Mei and Li Shi came in with baskets of cakes.

Mrs. Li asked with a smile, "What is your fifth uncle doing here again?"

After they talked, the Li family also laughed along with them.

Then, the peanut candy and the hair cake were wrapped in washed banana leaves, and the same portion was tied with twine, and sent to the people who worked in the workshop.

It was very busy.

Gradually, some people came to return the gift with bowls, and it was very lively to watch.

Wu Mei was busy in this, and she was able to talk to others very well, she smiled when she should, and there was no bitterness on her face, it was quite hearty, Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until after dinner that Wu Mei took Yaya back to the room over there that Ban Xia told Li Shi about this.

Mrs. Li was a little anxious, "Your eldest sister is usually silent. At the time, your grandma was so over the top, and she had never seen her quarrel with anyone. If she is someone who can lose her temper, why did she have such a hurdle back then?" .”

What she was talking about was when Wu Mei almost tortured herself to death because she refused to marry.

It does make some sense.

Ban Xia heard something wrong, "Mother, are you saying it's good to lose your temper?"

"You'll be on the edge of a dead end. How can this be the same? People should have some temper, just like the water in the pond. You have to let some water out from time to time, otherwise it will accumulate day by day, and it will not be good if it collapses one day." Days Life is going well, Li's people are straightforward, and they don't have any scruples when speaking.

This is not just about Li Shi herself, she just wants to jump her feet from time to time, after thinking about it, it really is like this, anger is anger, Li Shi's anger is never too much, but it is a kind of blessing, Ban Xia smiled and said nothing .

Mrs. Li walked around past Mrs. Sun, but didn't ask about the matter.

"If you ask me this way, I'm afraid your elder sister won't say it. Your second aunt used to be so stuffy, but now she's just a distant thunder in her heart. It's not easy to come by, hey..."

Who says it's not, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite.

Wu Liangping is a man with ideas, and he single-mindedly married Wumei back then, and his life was pretty good, but why did he quarrel, Yaya is still like this.

Until the evening, Wu Liangping did not come to pick him up.

Mrs. Li was also anxious.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Wu Mei took Yaya back in a refreshed manner.

Mrs. Li came back and said to Banxia, ​​"Your eldest sister still pretended that nothing happened. I was afraid that the family would worry about her. Yaya hesitated a bit and followed her back. I was a little worried when I saw her like that. It's all about laughing, this..."

Isn't that bad.

Ban Xia was a little confused.

Only then did Mrs. Li say, "There's no one who doesn't quarrel, but with your elder sister's appearance, she doesn't get angry or complain at all. Either she's heartbroken, or she's just swallowing her own suffering, neither of which is good. Age Gently, if you say it well, you can hold your breath, but if you say it badly, you will suffer such grievances, if you live well, it won't be like this."

When Li looks at problems, he always has his own different views.

"Don't look at your mother like this, I just hope that after you and Gu Ya'er go out, you still look like your daughter's house, that's good." Li Shi then sighed.

Then he couldn't rest assured, "I'll go over with your second aunt tomorrow to have a look, it just so happens that there are still things we make here, your eldest sister's house is also a restaurant, and the dowry things back then were not thin, so she doesn't need to be so wronged. "

Ban Xia knew that Li Shi was a little angry.

Thinking that this is fine, Wu Mei refused to say, Li Shi and Sun Shi have always been able to tell a thing or two in the past.

It's good to be married too.

Now that the decision has been made, Li Shi is ready to prepare, and now she is very confident.

In the morning of the next day, I went to Jufeng Tower together with Sun, who didn't know why, and didn't mention anything else, just saying that I was passing by to see my in-laws.

When she came back, Li's complexion was not good all the time.

"I thought it was just some trivial matter. Young couples, there is no reason to quarrel, but it turned out that your brother-in-law is okay, and I feel sorry for your eldest sister..." Li took a drink of water.

Then he said, "What's your way? Your eldest sister-in-law who married out lived at home for a long time, so that's fine. We went to frown and said that those who are there are not. The mother-in-law is also confused and can't see it. , Believe it every sentence, the meaning behind the words is that your eldest sister used things from Jufenglou to subsidize our family! Don't even look, his restaurant is big, when did we take advantage of it like that!"

Ban Xia was speechless, thinking about that mean woman when she got married, the girl who married out, and when she returned home, the in-laws with poor eyesight...

No wonder Wumei is like this.

Ban Xia suddenly paused, "Mother, when I bought soybeans, the elder sister brought back 100 taels, did you return it later?"

"Of course I paid back!"

Li Shi wanted to smash things.
