butcher's cook

?? After dinner, Mr. Xu came back with Uncle Xu and three grandchildren.

?? He and Daying's father are blood brothers, and the elder brother's family built a house. Of course he will help.Although he has great-grandchildren, but the ancients married early, he is only 59 this year, and he is still very agile, even some young people in the village are not as good as him.

?? When I saw the donkey cart parked in the yard, I guessed that it was Ms. Xu who came back.

?? "Er Niu, are you back?"

?? "Father, are you back? Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Mr. Xu entered the door, "When I saw the donkey cart outside, I knew it was you who came back. Did your family buy a donkey cart?"

"I didn't buy it, it belonged to Brother Ning. Brother Ning, this is your grandfather."

?? "Grandfather."

?? Mr. Xu looked at Brother Ning, "This is?" Although he didn't say it, he guessed that this should be Dashan's daughter-in-law.

?? "This is the eldest sister's child."

?? "What?" Mr. Xu reacted greatly, "Your elder sister's child? What about elder sister?"

?? "My eldest sister had a difficult labor when she gave birth to Brother Ning."

?? Mr. Xu paused, "Did the girl go?"

?? This hit him hard, and he has been feeling guilty all these years.At the beginning, the family really couldn't make it through, and he didn't plan to sell his son or daughter, but this girl didn't know who she heard, so she sold herself directly. By the time he rushed over, it was already too late.

??The deeds are all signed.

??In recent years, he has also been inquired by others, even the original Renyazi. He only knows that the big girl has been sold to the north, but he does not know the exact location of Renyazi.

?? Unexpectedly, after finally waiting for the news, it is true that the big girl has gone.

??"How old are you this year?"

??"sixteen."

?? It turns out that the big girl has been dead for 16 years.

??Mr. Xu seemed to have lost all energy, and suddenly lost all energy, and went straight back to the house.

??"father?"

?? Mrs. Xu shook her head, "Let him be alone!"

?? She has seen the guilt of the old man these years, but she can't say anything.The whole family ate the food bought by the big girl.

"You are Brother Ning, right? I am your uncle. Don't think too much about it. You are the eldest sister's child, the child of our Xu family."

?? "This is your cousin, the other two are younger than you, they are cousins."

??"cousin."

?? He also greeted the other two younger ones, "Cousin."

"Brother Ning, you will live with the second sister tonight, the house has already been tidied up, and the quilts are all newly made." Brother Shu came out of a room and said to Bai Ning.

?? "Okay, thanks Aunt."

?? "Go and rest first, you guys have a day to go, take a good rest, don't think too much."

?? On the second day, when Mr. Xu saw Bai Ning, his attitude became a lot more friendly, and he asked a lot about Mrs. Xu.Bai Ning picks out the ones he remembers, and says what he can say.

?? "She didn't have a good life either." Mr. Xu sighed, then looked at Xiaobao again, "This Xiaobao?"

"Xiaobao, this is my great-grandfather."

?? "Great-grandfather."

"Good boy." Mr. Xu loved Xiaobao very much, and wanted to hug Xiaobao, but Xiaobao shook his head, "No, smelly."

??Mr. Xu smokes dry tobacco. Over the years, there is a smell of dry tobacco on his body, which most people don't like.

?? "Haha, I told you to smoke less. If you don't believe me, this is disgusting!" Mrs. Xu laughed gloatingly, "Xiaobao, come over to Grandma."

??Although Mrs. Xu also had some smell on her body, it was not as heavy as Mrs. Xu's body, and Mrs. Xu gave Xiaobao candy back yesterday, so Xiaobao was willing to go to Mrs. Xu's side.

?? "Great grandma."

?? Mrs. Xu hugged Xiao Bao, and looked at Mr. Xu proudly, "Xiao Bao, grandma took you to eat pancakes. Today I asked your uncle to bake pancakes. Your uncle pancakes are delicious."

?? "Okay."

??Bai Ning looked at Xiao Bao like this, and felt a little worried. This child is so easy to coax, will someone coax him away with some candy in the future?

??No, when I get home, he must teach me well.

?? As Mrs. Qu Xu said, the pancakes baked by Brother Shu are indeed delicious.The pancake was very thin, with wild vegetables inside, and Bai Ning even ate shredded pork in it.

?? "Brother Ning, don't be too polite, I made it myself, so you can eat it with an open stomach."

??Bai Ning is not a very polite person, especially when it comes to eating, he has always been very comfortable.After eating three cakes and two bowls of porridge, he stopped.

?? Then he felt that he had been looked at several times, and the gaze was not malicious, but purely sizing up.As he said, he looked over and saw that it was the daughter-in-law married by his eldest cousin.

??This is also a brother, who looks average, but the whole person looks very gentle.Seeing Bai Ning looking at him, he smiled embarrassedly at Bai Ning.

??After dinner, Mr. Xu didn't go to help build the house this time, only Uncle Xu went there with three cousins.

?? Lady Xu reminded, "Sifa, come back for lunch today. I brought the roast goose over yesterday." In order to prevent the roast goose from spoiling, she let the roast goose fall into the well to cool down when she arrived yesterday.

"Okay." Uncle Xu readily agreed, Brother Ying and his wife are stingy, everyone built a house for his family, and the food was poor.Either brown rice or steamed buns, the only time when rice and meat dishes were just started to be built.

??The family eats big geese, and it is impossible for Ying's sister-in-law to cook better food.

??Bai Ning took out the things he brought yesterday, and gave two bolts of muslin cloth to Mrs. Xu and the others, and two catties of pastries.The two jars of wine belonged to Uncle Xu, and he gave him two bolts of cloth.Two catties of sugar is one catty per person, and the cakes are given to the elder cousin who married the twin.

?? The rest are some snacks, and they are all given points.

"Brother Ning, what are you buying so much for? You've come to see me, an old woman, because you have a heart. Don't buy so many things next time." Mrs. Xu couldn't stop talking happily. Her two daughters Although they are filial, they all have their own homes, and they bring things with them every time. There are not many things, and she is very happy.Unexpectedly, this newly found grandson is also filial.

"It's okay, it didn't cost much." Bai Ning smiled indifferently.

??Mistress Xu did not make clothes this time. What she bought was more practical. She bought two cuts of meat and gave it to Brother Shu yesterday. Today's pork shredded cakes are made from that meat.

?? In her words, "I see that Brother Ning bought cloth, so I won't make clothes for you. If you have cloth, you can make it yourself. I will watch and buy meat and make up for you."

"Second girl, don't buy anything in the future, Dashan should marry a wife, and you have to think about him."

??Mistress Xu really hasn't worried about Dashan's marriage. Before she fell ill, her family's conditions were not the best in Xiaoxi Village, but they were also among the top.She and the head of the family also saved dozens of taels of money for Dashan to marry a daughter-in-law, but when she fell ill, all the money was invested.

??If Bai Ning didn't come back, she might still worry about it, but Bai Ning came back and taught them some crafts for making a living.Their own shop will also be opened, and they will be able to earn money every day, so they don't have to worry about Dashan not being able to marry a wife.

??My old lady can care about her so much, Mrs. Xu is very grateful.Her old mother is not like those women in the village, who treat their daughters like livestock at home, and when they get married, they try their best to persuade their daughters to move things from her husband's house to her mother's house.

Mrs. Xu is not like this. When Mrs. Xu is at home, she asks Mrs. Xu to keep the money she earns from embroidery and mushroom picking, which will be used as cash in the box in the future.When she is married, she doesn't make trouble for her to confront her mother-in-law and provoke the relationship between her mother-in-law and her man.Instead, let her be filial to her mother-in-law, and sometimes bring her something for her to take back.

She felt that as long as Ms. Xu's mother-in-law was not a vicious woman who treated her daughter-in-law harshly like Zhang Cuihua in the village, she would not be too harsh on Ms. Xu's mother-in-law if she did so.

??Things are exactly as Mrs. Xu thought, Mrs. Xu's mother-in-law treated Mrs. Xu like her own daughter, but they never criticized her.And Liu Laosan is also interested in Miss Xu.

"Mother, don't worry, I know what I know." Lady Xu said, "Brother Ning's family used to be a restaurant, and he opened a noodle restaurant in the county. He taught Dashan and the owner how to make noodles, and we also I plan to open a noodle restaurant."

?? Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What did you say? One of his brothers opened a noodle restaurant, and you want to compete with him for business?"

"Father, how can it be like this?" Xu Niangzi explained, "It's not like this, Brother Ning wants to do something else, and he can't do it all by himself, so he wants to do something light, let us Take over the business of the noodle shop."

??The expression on Mr. Xu's face got better when he heard this, "What is he going to do?"

?? "Looks like pickles. He said it's simple and doesn't require many people."

??Originally, after listening to her words, Mr. Xu relaxed a little, but when he heard about making pickles, he became worried again, "Every family knows how to make pickles, can he do this well?"

?? "Okay, have you ever eaten the pickles that Brother Ning sat on?

??Master Xu can't imagine how delicious pickles can be?It's sour, salty, and has an unpleasant taste.

?? "No matter how delicious the pickles are, don't they taste that way? Is it really possible?"

??Mistress Xu didn't believe it before, and she also thought that no matter how delicious the pickles were, they would be the same, but after eating the pickles made by Geer Ning, she knew that there were no absolutes.

?? "Let me tell you, you can't even imagine it. When you come next time, I will bring you two jars and you will know."

?? Mr. Xu believed a little bit, "Then I'll go and have a look when I have time. He is the eldest sister's child, so don't bully him."

??Mistress Xu is angry and funny, who the hell got Ning Geer's face yesterday, which made her worry for a while.Today, is it protected?

"I know, I know, I am his second aunt, can I harm him? Not to mention anything else, but he taught our family Dashan a craft, and I am grateful to him. You don't know, Dashan learns from carpentry I don’t have that muscle, I studied medicine with others, and they said that he is not a professional in this field. I finally learned how to make noodles from Brother Ning. Open a small noodle restaurant in the county, and then marry Dashan a daughter-in-law in the county. I don’t worry about the head of the family going up to the mountain to hunt all day long.”

"Hey, Dashan learned to make noodles, which can be regarded as a craft. Hunting in the mountains is to earn money, but it is also earned by life. I have been trying to persuade you to use the money to buy a few acres of land for farming, but you No one in the family will go to the field." Mr. Xu sighed, "Last month, Old Qin's head was gone, and a big customer wanted a bear skin, and offered 300 taels of silver. At that time, the whole village was moved. I only want to go to the mountains to hunt bears. 300 taels of silver can buy [-] mu of good farmland. Old Qintou didn’t do it at first, so his son knelt down for him and let him go out of the mountains.”

?? "He has no choice but to take out that bow and enter the mountain."

"After entering the mountain, he didn't come out. Three days later, the village chief organized us to go up the mountain to find someone. We only found the bow and some rags in the deep mountain."

?? After hearing this, Ms. Xu felt her heart pounding.She wondered if it was the same when the head of the family went to the mountains to look for ginseng.

?? If Brother Ning hadn't been saved, would the head of the family have entered the mountain a second time?

"Er Niu, Er Niu, what's wrong with you? Are you scared?" Mr. Xu shook her wrist, "Actually, don't be afraid, isn't the third child learning to make noodles now? You will be in the county from now on It doesn’t matter how much you pay for selling noodles, as long as you can make a living. Don’t let him go into the mountains again, I don’t feel at ease.”

"Father, I got sick at the end of last year. The doctor said that it was hopeless and I needed ginseng. The head of the family went into the mountains to find ginseng for me, but he rescued Brother Ning by accident. I thought, at the beginning, if I didn't After saving Brother Ning, will the head of the family enter the mountain again?"

??Master Xu didn't expect that there were such details in it. He thought Liu Laosan was just bringing him back with Brother Ning to show him the way, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

?? "Don't think too much about it."

?? "Father, I'm just scared."

?? "Don't be afraid, aren't you already planning to open a store in the county? Then you won't come back."

?? Don't need to be reminded by Mr. Xu, Miss Xu is planning, even if Liu Laosan is not happy, she will never let Liu Laosan enter the mountain again in this life.

?? Liu Laosan in the county sneezed several times, "Ah, ah!"

?? "Father, what's wrong with you? Okay, did you have typhoid fever?"

?? Liu Laosan shook his head, "It's okay, my nose is itchy for a while."

"Father, do you think grandpa is talking about you? You usually go to grandpa's house. If you don't go this year, he will definitely be unhappy."

?? "Hey, is that why I don't want to go?"

?? "No, it's my mother who won't let you go." Just Dashan answered.

"Second Sister, Dad has eaten." Brother Shu came to meet the two of them for dinner, "You didn't see what Ning Ge'er's family used to do. He is very good at cooking. Look at the dishes he cooked. I have never seen it before, it looks very fragrant."

?? Brother Shu praised Ning Geer for catching him.

?? "Haha, Brother Ning is very skilled. His family used to be a restaurant, and the family hired a few masters. It can be said that he is a brother of a rich family."

??Brother Shu thought about what happened next, and lowered his head.Alas, also a poor child.

??Bai Ning helped Brother Shu cook a large table of dishes, and the one in the middle was the roast goose.Then he added wild vegetables and eggs from the field, and meat brought by Mrs. Xu, and he made scrambled eggs with toon, Sixi meatballs, roasted pork with mushrooms, wild vegetable cakes, pickled cabbage fish, and West Lake vinegar fish.

??It looks like home cooking, but Bai Ning cooks it very carefully.

?? "Brother Ning, your craftsmanship is really good." Brother Shu praised.

"Brother Ning, what kind of fish are you? It's so sour but appetizing, I still want to eat it." Mrs. Xu took a sip of West Lake vinegar fish and nodded.

?? Uncle Xu ate a piece of scrambled egg with Chinese toon, "Is this the leaf from the tree behind us? This can also be used for cooking? Not to mention, it tastes really good."
