Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

After saying that, he took Mr. Ning to a room in the courtyard, and the man closed the door and retreated.

There was a man with slightly wrinkled face and gray hair in front of the desk. When he saw someone coming in, he stopped fiddling with the abacus beads in front of him and looked forward.

When he saw that the person coming was his son, there was no joy in his eyes.

He frowned and said, "Why did Rui'er have time to come see me today?"

Ning Zirui bent down and saluted: "To tell you what dad is saying, Zi Rui came here this time to ask dad to give him some more money to live on."

Ning Fang frowned even more when he heard that his son came to him, and said displeasedly: "Didn't I just give you ten taels of silver last month? Didn't you use it up so quickly?"

When Ning Zirui heard her father's attitude, she also changed her expression and said angrily: "Father, don't you know that making friends and discussing academic matters is free of charge. Don't worry, father, will you worry about your child being admitted to the Juren Examination next autumn? Have a good life.”

Ning Fang sighed and said: "That being said, you have already emptied your family fortune by repeatedly failing the exam. You should listen to your father's advice. If you fail the exam again this time, you can find a private school and become a teacher. Support yourself. You can use this tael of silver to meet emergencies first, and then go home and take a look in two days when your father takes a rest. Maybe your mother has already obtained the property of my cheap brother."

When we go back, we will sell those few acres of thin farmland and a few children for you to use as your expenses. "

Ning Zirui couldn't help but look kindly after hearing this. Since he is a brother, he should pave the way for his brother, right? It was their blessing to be able to serve as a stepping stone for him and Ning Zirui.

Jiang Luorou on the other side also returned to his home at this time. After calling Zicheng and asking him to deliver the purchased sacrificial supplies to Zhao, he also cooked a pot of noodles. After the family had a meal around the table, Jiang Luorou began to prepare the things that would be used to set up the stall tomorrow, as well as the evening sacrifice.

According to the tradition of the Northern Winter Clothes Festival, dumplings are mostly used as sacrifices in the evening.

Jiang Luorou went to the vegetable field and pulled out two Chinese cabbages, planning to use them to make dumplings later.

Jiang Luorou entered the kitchen with the cabbage. She washed the cabbage with clean water first, then put it on the chopping board, chopped it into fine pieces, added a pinch of salt, mixed well and set it aside for later use.

I took out the dried mushrooms I bought at the spice store last time, rinsed them with water, added an appropriate amount of water and started soaking them. Then take out about five kilograms of peanuts, wash them clean, and spread them out on a dustpan to dry them.

Then I took out the ten pounds of pork I just bought this morning, rinsed it with clean water and chopped it all into minced meat.

Gently squeeze out the water from the freshly chopped Chinese cabbage, take out about a pound of meat filling, mix it together and add various seasonings.

Then take out some flour from the noodle cylinder, mix it into a smooth dough and set it aside to start rising.

The dried shiitake mushrooms are almost soaked at this time, so chop them into fine pieces with a kitchen knife and set aside.

Then take out appropriate amount of onion, ginger and garlic and chop into fine pieces and set aside.

Jiang Luorou walked to the stove and lit a fire, then poured the purchased vegetable oil into the pot.

When the oil is hot, add the minced meat and stir-fry until the skin is slightly brown.

Then add the minced onions, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry out the aroma of the onions, ginger and garlic. Then add the shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry evenly to dry out the water in the shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry out the fragrance of the shiitake mushrooms.

Then pour in an appropriate amount of rice wine and stir-fry evenly, then add an appropriate amount of soybean paste, soy sauce, and white sugar. Stir-fry evenly and cook for about ten minutes. After the sauce is fragrant, add the mushroom water in which the mushrooms have just been soaked. Reduce the sauce over high heat and stir-fry out the water, then take it out of the pan. The meat sauce you will have tomorrow is ready and placed in a clean jar for storage.

Then Jiang Luorou washed the pot again, poured an appropriate amount of vegetable oil into the pot, added peanuts to the cold oil and started frying. Fry slowly over low heat, stirring constantly with a shovel.

Fry over low heat until the peanuts make a crackling sound. Fry over low heat for another minute. When the peanuts turn slightly yellow, take them out and drain the oil. Put them into a clean jar as well.

After everything was done, Jiang Luorou took out the dough that had just been kneaded.

Continue kneading until the surface is smooth. Divide the dough into several small portions and use a rolling pin to roll into round dumpling wrappers.

After rolling out the dumpling wrapper, Jiang Luorou gently pinched a gold ingot shape in the middle of the dumpling wrapper with both hands, and the round and chubby dumpling was ready. Repeating the above actions, Jiang Luorou wrapped all the dumplings in a short time.

After making the dumplings, Jiang Luorou was not idle. She saw that the potato flour was drying in the yard.

Jiang Luorou put the dried potato flour into a stone mill, ground it into powder and put it in a cloth bag for storage.

Jiang Luorou saw that it was still early, so she took out a large basin and rinsed the pots and pans she bought with clean water. She also wiped the tables, chairs, benches, chopping boards, kitchen knives and everything else clean.

I saw the sun gradually tilting towards the west, and a faint orange light appeared on the horizon.

Jiang Luorou straightened up and moved around. So I went into the kitchen, took out the potato dregs left over from making potato flour yesterday, put it in a pot, added an appropriate amount of water and boiled it until the potato dregs were mature. Pour it into a wooden bucket, carry the wooden bucket and walk out of the door.

He walked to the cowshed, untied the old ox, moved it to the barrel, and started drinking. After the cows drank the potato water, Jiang Luorou brought a basket of corn stalks and a few ears of tender corn and put them into the cow trough.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and Jiang Luorou began to prepare dumplings.

At this time, the children also ran back from outside. Zicheng fetched half a bucket of water from the well and supervised his younger brothers and sisters to wash their hands.

Ziqing, there is still a big piece of dirt next to your little face.

And you, Zimo, wash all the dirt from your fingernails for me. If you dare to make me unhappy, see if I beat you.

I saw the two little ones washing their hands and behind their faces. Ning Zicheng spontaneously went to the kitchen to help light the fire.

At this moment, bursts of firecrackers began to sound outside the yard. Seeing this, Jiang Luorou took out some plant ash from under another stove and put it into a basket, and took it with the shovel outside the gate.

After arriving outside the gate, Jiang Luorou first tied the old scalper into the courtyard.

Go back to the outside of the gate and use a shovel to scoop up the wood ash and draw three medium-sized circles on the ground. He also took out the sacrificial things from the house and arranged them one by one.

At this time, the water in the kitchen was also boiling. Jiang Luorou put in the dumplings and cooked them, took out a few bowls and put them in the circle outside the gate. She started to burn incense, burn paper, light cannons and kowtow. After doing everything, I followed my grandmother's example and took out a few pieces of five-color paper from the basket, lit them and burned them outside the circle, saying that those who have no children, those who have no house and no land will have a share. I still hope to accept him, and hope to help him on the road in the future.
