The Sweet Little Fulang

Sweeping and dusting all day, I have to clean up inside and out, but it's tiring, Lu Gu sat on a small stool and shoveled the bottom of the pot, there was a lot of black dust on the bottom of the pot on his face, he didn't know it without looking in the bronze mirror When I looked up, the rest of the family saw it, and they all laughed.

24 passed away amidst the bustle and bustle, and the next morning, snowflakes floated up again.As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year, today the wind is small, and the white snow falls slowly, gradually covering the ground.

In the morning, Wei Lanxiang took Shen Yan to the tofu shop in the next village to buy tofu. Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, so it's time to eat tofu.

She carried a big basket lined with cloth, and bought half a board of tofu. When she got home, she saw Ji Qiuyue and said, "It's a pity that I went early. There are so many people buying tofu. They are crowded. The little husband is timid and poor, he can only afford a small piece of tofu, he is pushed around and dare not speak, he is squeezed out, and he almost doesn't cry when he stands behind, but Quanzifulang sees it and follows him The women in the neighboring village scolded me, and your third grandma and I also scolded him."

Ji Qiuyue usually speaks briskly, and she is very familiar with Quan Zifulang, if she is here, she will definitely help scold her.

Wei Lanxiang uncovered the basket cloth, pinched a small piece of white tofu to taste, and said: "It's also because Doubanzi and his wife are kind-hearted. Seeing that the young husband of the He family was standing in the front, I went to eat it first." Cut a piece for him and let him go home."

The owner of the tofu shop is called Doubanzi, and Ji Qiuyue and Lu Gu call him Uncle Douban when they meet each other.

Poor people are indeed more likely to be bullied. Even when their family had no money, they were looked down upon and even bullied by others in Qingxi Village. That kind of uselessness is unspeakable sadness and anger, let alone their own family members treat each other coldly.

It is also because of this that even if the eldest son of the Shen family showed his favor later, Shen Xuanqing would not easily share the prey and meat with the elder family.

Wei Lanxiang was busy occupying the place in front of her, so she didn't pay attention to other people. After shopping in the back, Mrs. Quanzi scolded someone, and after two or three clarifications of the situation, she began to help.

"Those people should be scolded." Ji Qiuyue and she shared the same hatred, and also remembered the things they were blinded by others two years ago, and their expressions were a little angry. What kind of skill is bullying Mrs. He's husband? If the income is not good at all, they will be bullied by those who are poorer than them.

"You should be scolded, but don't be angry, be happy, mother will make tofu, and you can have a good lunch at noon." Wei Lanxiang hurriedly persuaded her, fearing that she would be angry and hurt her fetus.

"Mother, I know." Ji Qiuyue smiled.

Lu Gu helped Shen Xuanqing mend the sleeves in the room, just now there was a small hole in the hanging wood, so that the sewing would not look sloppy and tattered.

Shen Xuanqing put on the outer clothes, and both of them heard Wei Lanxiang's words outside. He knew that the husband of the He family was not very courageous, just like Lu Gu. Door, if someone pushes you and bullies you, if you can't beat them and come back and call me, if it's not good enough, your mother and sister-in-law will scold you."

He doesn't beat women, but he can beat men in the other's family, let alone be kind and polite. In their village at the foot of the mountain, there are many people who have never studied. Sometimes the reasoning doesn't make sense, and they can only rely on fists Talking, the other party will be afraid when the power is established.

"En." Lu Gu nodded heavily. He also knew that he was timid, and he didn't dare to quarrel with others when he went out. A sense of solidity and something to depend on.

Wei Lanxiang was making tofu in the kitchen, and Lu Gu went to help.

Shen Yaoqing was sweeping the snow in the courtyard, Shen Yan and Ji Qiuyue were not idle, they brought a bowl of paste and pasted the blessing paper they bought on the doors and windows.

At lunchtime, there were stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage, fried tofu with minced meat, fried tofu and mixed bean curd on the table. Shen Yaoqing was amused when he saw it, and said, "It's all tofu, this is called Quanfu Banquet."

He spoke pleasantly and pleasantly, and Wei Lanxiang couldn't close her mouth with a smile, that's right, what she ate was the Quanfu Banquet.

Once the red blessing paper is pasted on the doors and windows, the house will be different immediately, and the more you look at it, the more festive it will be.

The past few days passed quickly, and it was the next day in the blink of an eye.On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, it's time to eat big meat. Those who raise pigs and sheep, and those who are willing to eat, are sharpening their knives.

This year Wei Lanxiang only raised chickens and ducks, so she had to buy pork and mutton from Meng Dayue.

Shen Xuanqing took Lu Gu to buy it in the morning, and went there early to watch the scene of carrying pigs and sheep out of the pen for slaughter.

The custom here is that no matter rich or poor, everyone has to eat some meat.

Lu Gu bought a lot with Shen Xuanqing, the bamboo baskets were heavy, and when he left, he saw Li Wanyun in the crowd, she also came to buy meat.

Lan Xiang and Lu Gu, the back guards, began to tidy up after returning. They didn't throw away the cut pig skin. After cleaning it, they cut it into thin strips and washed it together with the pig skin saved from eating meat before. They left it for the afternoon to boil the crystal kueh.

The crystal is cool and springy in the mouth, and the pigskin seems to be frozen in ice, also known as skin jelly.

They cooked lamb and stewed braised pork, pepper and aged wine to remove the fishy smell, and added the orange peel that was dried before and was not willing to throw away. When it was almost noon, the meat was full of fragrance, and Shen Yan, who was greedy, stood by the clay stove and swallowed. , to see if the gurgling braised pork is soft and rotten, and then go into the kitchen to look at the mutton in the cauldron.

Even the puppies whimpered when they smelled the cooked meat, and even drooled, pawing at Lu Gu's pants, sobbing anxiously.

The cooked meat was so fragrant, Lu Gu threw meaty bones for it and the big dog, but it was not tasty, after a few bites, he went to see the horse ladle that was stewing the meat on the tandoor.

Not to mention puppies, even Lu Gu thought it was too fragrant when he smelled it, so he swallowed quietly, but it's not the time yet, so he can only lower his head to peel peanuts, and fry peanuts when eating and drinking at night on New Year's Eve, Previously, Wudou and Laba used up all the peeled peanuts.

He thought no one would notice, but Shen Xuanqing, who was sitting next to him and helping him peel peanuts, suddenly asked with a smile, "Greedy?"

When the saliva was discovered, Lu Gu's ears turned red, he hesitated and couldn't speak, so he could only work hard to cover up his inner embarrassment.

Shen Xuanqing laughed lightly, and squeezed Lu Gu's palm to comfort him after laughing.

There is a lot of stewed pork and mutton. You can eat two meals. You don’t need to do anything else for dinner, just heat it up once.

After the meal, the meat in the soup bowl was cold. Shen Xuanqing went into the kitchen and threw a few pieces of cooked meat into the food bowls of the four dogs with Wei Lanxiang on his back. Fortunately, the braised pork and mutton pieces have no bones, they are rotten and soft, otherwise they will get stuck in such a hurry.

In the afternoon, Lu Gu boiled the pork skin in a big pot. He only added dried pepper leaves and a little dried chili, wrapped it in a cloth and put it in the pot.

After a while Shen Xuanqing came in, and before she could speak, she heard a sudden noise outside, because they were so close, including Li Wanyun's voice, the two looked at each other and walked out, Wei Lanxiang and the others followed up.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, I was shocked, Li Wanyun put the knife on her neck, and the old Zhang, who was slumped on the ground in a mess, also held scissors in his hand, and pointed the tip of the scissors tremblingly at his neck.

"You bullied my mother and I, who are weak and not in charge of the family, and came to rob me of the meat I bought and my dishes! What don't you want? Normally, I respect you as an elder and call you uncle. Today is good, do it Uncles come here and throw pots and bowls, and don’t let me spend the New Year, you are wicked! You are expected to be struck by thunder in the future!"

Li Wanyun's hair was disheveled, her face was bruised, and there was a sling of flesh stained with black mud on the ground behind her, obviously from a scuffle.

Zhang Gui, a relative from another village, saw her buying meat at Meng Dayue's in the morning, so she came over with a bad idea, wanting to take the meat back to his house to eat.

When Zhang Gui and his wife heard Li Wanyun scolding them, they immediately blew their beards and stared back and cursed: "Fart! You dare to talk to me like this, see if I don't beat you to death!"

Li Wanyun sneered, and said angrily: "Okay! You don't need to do anything, let me tell you, we both died in front of this door today, our blood dried up and our flesh rotted, we just died in front of this door without going anywhere, what do you want?" My house and my land, just come and get it!"

She turned her head and said fiercely to Mrs. Zhang: "You are dead too, and if we die together, we won't have to suffer this kind of crime of being bullied in this world, so that these heartless murderers will be reincarnated as bastards in the future! "

Old Mrs. Zhang was just dragged out of the room by hugging her chest, even Li Wanyun herself didn't know where the strength came from.

She has lost her mind recently, but when she heard that others were going to rob her house, and even the meat fell on the ground, her eyes widened immediately, and the neighbors around her were watching, and she burst into tears and howled, saying I can't live anymore, the old woman is about to be forced to death with her old bones.

"Remember, it's you good relatives who forced me to die. See you later in the Hall of Yama!"

Li Wanyun hated so much that the kitchen knife around her neck was thrown into the flesh, and bright red blood oozed out. The neighbors ran to save her in fright. Even Wei Lanxiang ran over and took the kitchen knife out of her hand. snatched away.

"Zhang Gui! Are you trying to kill someone?" Someone asked angrily.

Lin Zhongcai rushed over out of breath, and after hearing this, he was furious, and together with the ten or so families behind the village, directly drove Zhang Gui and the two out of Qingxi Village.

Both Li Wanyun and Mrs. Zhang were carried into the room. Lu Gu came over and picked up the small hanging meat on the ground. It was a pity to throw it away, so he took it to the kitchen to scoop up water and put it in a cage for Li Wanyun.

He entered the room and looked at Li Wanyun, seeing that she was fine, the wound on her neck was entangled, and said that the meat was put in the cage before going home with Wei Lanxiang.

After the neighbors left, Li Wanyun calmed down for a while, wiped away her tears and went to the kitchen.

Lu Gu sat in a daze in front of the stove, Shen Xuanqing came in, sighed softly and stroked his hair, saying that Li Wanyun was injured too decisively today, but it was not unhealthy, ordinary people would not dare to bear the crime of killing people, especially today they The people in the village saw everything, and the relatives of the Zhang family would not dare to come and grab things easily in the future.

Lu Gu always believed in what he said, and he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it, it was true.

After the crystal kueh is boiled, let it cool down, and it will freeze overnight.

The next day, Lu Gu lifted the cloth on the wooden basin and took a look. The crystal clear crystal noodles looked good and delicious, but they were a bit cold, so they had to be eaten with hot dishes.

Seeing that Shen Yaoqing was going to catch chickens in the backyard and slaughter them, Wei Lanxiang stopped him and said, "Boss, kill two more ducks and prepare them in advance today."

Usually, chickens are slaughtered at 27 and ducks at 28 to make noodles, but these days are busy, so it’s better to kill them together, so as not to take up the pot to boil water tomorrow.

The skin was frozen, Shen Xuanqing came in and saw it, cut a piece with a knife, pinched it out and handed it to Lu Gu's mouth, said with a smile: "Try it, you made it."

He didn't know what happened these few days, he thought it was really interesting to tease Fulang, when Lu Gu opened his mouth to bite, he quickly stuffed the crystal into his mouth, and then smiled silly at Lu Gu.
