Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 18 Pots and Pans
It was dusk, and smoke billowed from the Su family's yard.

It is particularly cool at this time. The wind blows the banana leaves in the yard to shake like big cattail fans, and people become a little lazy. After a whole day of work, they are sweating happily. It is time to go home. People also came back one after another.

Su Youde came back with his special big bamboo basket, and the fourth eldest Su Youcai came over with a smile on his face and wanted to take it, but Su Youde turned sideways and hid.

He didn't care, he still had a hippie smile on his face, "Brother, you've walked a few villages today, are you tired? We have some good food tonight, let's have a good drink or two, ume ume, I won't bring you water Uncle washes his hands, where is Yuan Guang? Didn’t come back from herding cattle? Yuan Wu, get your uncle some wine!”

Seeing that Yuan Guang hadn't returned, Su Youcai greeted his son, took the bowl of food from Su Youde's hand, and shouted, "The child's mother hasn't come out yet, let's fry it!"

After Su Youde washed his hands, he cleaned his knives and hooks thoroughly, wiped them with a cloth and put them away, and then he went to the main room.

Su Youcai followed like that follower.

Ban Xia had silver hidden on her body, and she felt unsafe anywhere. After finally putting it into the jar and opening the door, she saw Wumei being directed by Zhou Shi to turn around, her head and face covered with sweat, but she still smiled slightly, and from time to time Looking at Gu Ya'er, "This is not edible."

The voice is also very soft, and she has a very good personality. Not only that, Banxia once looked at her like this, Wumei's appearance and figure are the best among the sisters, mint is darker, and she is wild. She and Gu Ya But it can be ignored, only the Polygonatum in the big room and the waterweed in the fourth room are so thick and dark, and they like to dress up.

What did you think, before you muttered much, you saw Shuiping and Polygonatum huddling together, not knowing what to say, and came outside, "Mother, this room is full of smoke, elder sister, how did you light the fire?" Yes, this fumigation has turned black! Didn’t you just tell Yuan Wu to make wine? Why don’t you steam an egg for us too! My second sister and I have half a bowl each.”

Mrs. Zhou agreed, and took it from Mrs. Su Qian as a matter of course.

Leaving Pinellia there, staring blankly at the contents in the bowl on the stove.

This thing is still bloodshot. Uncle is a pig who can lick chickens. Ban Xia has seen how he dealt with his own pigs. It is called clean and neat, with a knife in his hand and a hook to pick. I took it out, and threw it into a bowl, while the other bowl contained pot bottom ink and sesame oil, rubbed it on the wound, and the "operation" was considered complete.

In the countryside, pigs and chickens are considered precious things. After being castrated, the heart is also calm, and I can't feel full, warm and thoughtful, so I can only focus on growing fat.

When Banxia saw the oval-shaped things piled up in the bowl, it was...

"You're so stupid! Could it be that you still want to eat it?" Shui Ping also has an unforgiving mouth, she just clings to Yuzhu all day long, and she doesn't know what she mutters all day long.

Although Su Qian had a few words, he still gave them.

Ban Xia didn't want to start a quarrel because of this matter, Gu Ya'er was only a few years old, but she could only watch helplessly.

This kind of heart is really not ordinary, and it seems to be the same as usual.

Shui Ping felt that there was something she could show off, "Hmph, I don't care what my fate is, I even want to eat eggs?"

Anyway, she is used to bullying these younger sisters. Although Wumei is big, she is soft-tempered. Mint is a firecracker who is often taught a lesson, and she gets angry when she looks at these white and tender ones.

Ban Xia squeezed Gu Ya'er's small face, "Our Gu Ya'er's face is whiter and tender than egg custard, let my sister see how it grows." Gu Ya'er giggled.

Shui Ping hates others to say that she is black, she gets angry on the spot, but she can't express it, but Yu Zhu at the side takes a deep look at Ban Xia.

It was so easy to wait for the people to leave, but Zhou didn’t know where to go to hide and relax, but Wu Mei said to Ban Xia while cooking, “Why are you angry with them, they are all my sisters.”

Ban Xia smiled noncommittally, "Gu Ya'er is hungry too?"

Gu Ya'er ran to the door of the stove with short legs, then shrank back, and lay next to Banxia's ear, "Grandpa gave me candy in the afternoon, and elder sister will bury wild chestnuts in the stove later, so I don't want to eat it." Eat that egg custard."

Because it was a fair, Su Youli and Li's tofu picks were heavier than usual, and almost all of them would come back when they were sold out.

After they came back, they had to rush to wash the cloths, sieves, and baskets.

Mrs. Zhou came out again when the plums were almost ready, and when she served the food in the main room, she didn't forget to tell Mrs. Li, "Sister-in-law San doesn't need your help here, why didn't you see that the cloth was hung up to dry? "

There are two tables, a large pot of stewed pumpkin, a pot of stewed eggplant, and a plate of cauliflower, a large pot of porridge, some rice is rice soup, and a small pot of rice, while the table for the men has more A bowl of "big tonic" Su Youde brought back. When Yuan Wu went to drink, he bought a pack of peanuts by the way.

Looking at these soupy things, Pinellia didn't have any appetite, but the cauliflower was fried with ebony plums, which looked good enough to eat.

It was time to start eating, so the second son Su Youyi poked his head in with a hoe.

After taking two steps, he suddenly turned pale in shock as if he saw something, turned his head and walked away, as if he was afraid to avoid it.

Mrs. Su Qian really couldn't look down on her son's appearance, and swung his chopsticks and scolded, "Look what kind of temper! If you don't eat, don't eat, let's see if he won't die of hunger!"

Su Youcai sneered from the side, "Look at how dead the second brother is! It's like this every time, so it's possible that this big tonic is still unpalatable, right?!"

Sun's face became a little embarrassing, and the hand holding the chopsticks was a little stiff.

Su Qian seemed to have found a reason, "They're all dead! Such a gentleman can't control himself, he wanders around outside all day, and doesn't know what's the use of marrying a daughter-in-law!"

Seeing her own mother being taught a lesson, Mint rolled her eyes. She has always been fearless, "Grandma, my father doesn't do any of the work that should be done. Besides, what's the point of him doing that? Didn't she almost walk away with others before?" Now, what do you think my mother is doing, she’s like this all day long, could it be that it’s not your own son?!”

It's worth it!

Mrs. Su Qian didn't talk much, she slapped Mint on the shoulder, still angry.

It was old man Su who saw that the commotion was not looking good, so he said, "What is the commotion!" At the same time, he asked Yuan Wu and Su Youyi to take some to the kitchen.

That Yuanwu was also a trickster, and when he came back, he said, "Second Uncle went to take a bath on purpose, for fear of getting the smell of this thing!"

"Pfft—" Everyone in the room laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

After a meal, the daughters-in-law cleaned up the dishes.

Only then did Su Qian speak with great air, "You guys sit down for me, I have something to do."
