Married a scholar

▍Lend them a courage.

Meng Yining saw her nervous expression and flickering eyes. Thinking of the recent rumors in the village, Meng Yining nodded and put it away, "Then it will be troublesome."

Niu Cuihua hurriedly waved her hands, "No trouble, no trouble."

Meng Yining didn't chat with her too much. He was carrying green beans in a basket to buy eggs. When he passed a small dirt road, he met a grandma who came down a slope. The grandma was hunched over with a basket on her back, walking very slowly, " Grandma Tong."

"Hey, it's Brother Ning." Grandma Tong's eyes were not very good, and she only recognized him after squinting slightly, "What are you doing here?"

"Go buy some eggs, there are no eggs at home." Meng Yining stepped forward to take off the pannier behind her and carried it on her body, her voice amplified a little, "Why did Grandma Tong come out to collect firewood by herself, where is Second Aunt?"

"Going back to my mother's house." Grandma Tong walked beside him, "Her aunt is sick, so she went back to see her."

Meng Yining walked slowly to match her pace, "What about Sister Jiaojiao?"

Grandma Tong was silent for a while, and put aside the topic and asked him, "Grandma has saved some eggs, and I will take some back to eat later."

Meng Yining hummed and frowned slightly.

There are only a few older grandmothers in the village, and they are all very kind to the original owner. They met in private and gave him food, like the old grandma Fu, grandma Hua, and grandma Tong in front of him.

It's just that Grandma Tong's life is not good at home. Grandpa Meng's eyes were injured in the early years, so he can only help with simple housework at home.There are two sons and a daughter underneath.

The eldest son died early, leaving the aunt to live alone with a son and a daughter.It is not easy to support two elderly people, so they can only provide some food every year.

The two old people lived with their second uncle. The second aunt was a bit stingy and had two sons, a daughter and a brother.

Both sons got married, the eldest gave birth to a child, the second child has not been heard yet, the elder brother married to the next village, and the daughter is the youngest, Meng Yining seldom deals with her, only heard that the older he gets, the more tempered he is. the worse.

On the way, I met a few aunts and uncles in the village, and greeted them both, especially when I saw Meng Yining, there would be several smiles on his face.

After sending Grandma Tong home, Grandpa Meng hurried out of the main room when he heard the voice, "Are you back? They told you not to go, and the second child will be back in a while."

Grandma Tong smiled and said nothing, just let him put the basket in the kitchen, while she took Meng Yining's basket and went into the house.

Meng Yining put the basket into the kitchen, "Second Grandpa Meng, it's me, Brother Ning."

"Brother Ning, you are the one who sent Grandma Tong home." Second Grandpa Meng stood at the door of the main room leaning on a cane, with a kind smile on his face.

"Yes." Meng Yining went over to help the man sit down on the stool at the door.

Grandma Tong came out with a basket, "Come on, here are twenty eggs, take them back and eat."

Meng Yining nodded when he heard the words, and talked with the two elders for a while, when he heard Xia Wenze's voice outside, Meng Yining looked up and frowned slightly at Meng Jiao beside him.

Meng Jiao looked shyly at Xia Wenze beside her, and said softly, "Ah Ze, I heard that your hand is healed, so is it going to take the exam?"

Xia Wenze's face was pale, and he didn't give her a look. She let her talk to herself, and when she went to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Meng Yining sitting by the door, and said with a smile: "I saw you haven't come back for a long time, so I came out to look for you. Auntie said you were here."

Before Meng Yining could reply, Meng Jiao's expression changed, and she looked into the main room, only to see Meng Yining looking at her indifferently.Meng Jiao quickly burst into a smile, "It's Brother Ning, why are you at my house?"

Meng Yining ignored her, and said to Xia Wenze, "I'll send Grandma Tong back."

"Yeah." Xia Wenze came in and stood beside him.

Grandma Tong recognized the person when she got closer, and said with a smile: "It's Kid Ze, come to pick up Brother Ning."

"Yes, Grandma Tong." Xia Wenze raised his voice slightly, Grandma Tong's ears are not very good.

Grandma Tong smiled and said, "Brother Ning saw me carrying a basket on my back and sent me back, so go back and take the eggs."

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Meng Jiao's expression changed several times, and she tugged at her sleeves angrily.

Meng Yining got up, bid farewell to the two old men, put a small silver coin into Grandpa Meng's hand with his back to the door, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Meng, keep it well." He and Xia Wenze left with the eggs.

Before going out, Meng Yining turned his head to look at Meng Jiao, whose eyes drifted towards Xia Wenze from time to time, sneered, and pushed the person away, "Put away your eyeballs. If you don't want them anymore, I'll get them for you." dig it out."

"You." Meng Jiao supported the door frame and looked at Meng Yining. When she met her black eyes that were so cold and emotionless, her face turned pale.

Meng Yining was too lazy to talk to this kind of person who wanted to eat farts all day long, so he walked home with Xia Wenze. "No wonder Grandma Tong doesn't want to talk more about this granddaughter." I'm afraid that at home, Shao Xiao didn't think about it, so Grandma Tong was embarrassed to tell him.

Xia Wenze held the basket in his left hand and held his hand in his right, "An irrelevant person."

"When your hand was not in good shape, no one thought about it. Now that your hand is in good shape, some people have thought about it." Meng Yining snorted, "They thought you were also with that Zhao Zhonghe can't do the same, I'm afraid it's not just a dream."

Xia Wenze squeezed the hand in his hand, "I'm not Zhao Zhonghe, and I don't like others."

Meng Yining didn't say anything, just scratched his palm sourly.Although he knew that Xia Wenze looked down on others, and it wouldn't be Zhao Zhonghe that white-eyed wolf, but it didn't stop him from being jealous. "It's a good thing I didn't heal your face." Otherwise, I'm afraid there are more people thinking about it, and I don't know who gave them confidence. "The atmosphere in the village has been broken by Zhao Zhonghe."

Before he came here, no one in the village had the thought of rushing to be a kid or prying people's corners.

Xia Wenze nodded quickly, "Well, they are all the ones who were brought under by Zhao Zhonghe."

Sensing his desire to survive, Meng Yining pouted.He glanced at his intact left face, "I'm going to heal your face when the house is built." It's almost time for the autumn exam, and he can't be allowed to participate in the autumn with the scar on his right face. try.

Xia Wenze said gently: "It's okay to treat before the imperial examination." To be an official in the court is to be judged. If it's just an imperial examination, there are not many such requirements.

"No, the face will be healed after the house is built." Meng Yining snorted, "I'll borrow their courage to pry the corner of the wall."

"No." Xia Wenze leaned over and kissed him on the face when he walked to a place where no one was around. He didn't know whether it meant that he would not be pried into the corner of the wall or that he would not fall in love with others.

Meng Yining didn't say much about it. Not everyone can imagine him as a person.

After returning home, Xia Wenze didn't go to the study to read again, but accompanied Meng Yining to cook in the kitchen.

"Is there enough stuffing?" Xia Wenze asked Meng Yining to look at the stuffing in the pot.

"Enough." Meng Yining crushed the ginger and poured it out, and threw some garlic cloves in, "Chop some green onions."

What he is going to make are meat rolls. There are two ways to make meat rolls, one is to use tofu skin, and the other is to spread the egg skin.

He was going to roll the meat with egg skins.

Put an appropriate amount of seasoning powder into the meat filling, and then pour the minced ginger and garlic juice into the minced green onion and stir well.

After mixing the meat stuffing, Meng Yining asked Xia Wenze to set fire to spread the egg skin.

The egg skin needs to be spread a little thinner.

After spreading out a few egg skins, slowly put the blended meat filling inside and roll it into a long strip, then put it on the steamer to steam until cooked, and finally take it out and cut it into slices or cut it into the length of your index finger. .See what you like.

This is the dish that his eldest cousin-in-law likes to cook. The eldest cousin-in-law is from Sichuan and said that it is the most indispensable dish in their Baba Banquet.

"The meat rolls I made are in a fragrant bowl. There are meat with pickled vegetables, and glutinous rice with meat with sand is also delicious. I like glutinous rice with meat with sand most. Unfortunately, I don't know how to cook this dish." Meng Yining sat by the stove and accompanied Xia Wenze to light the fire, while telling him about some Sichuan dishes he likes to eat.

What he said are all the dishes that his eldest cousin-in-law often cooks every year when he accompany his eldest cousin back to her natal home. In fact, the fragrant bowls he made are not up to standard, because in addition to the meat rolls, most of them will also put some fried crispy meat under it, but he I don't like those, but I like the meatloaf on it.

Xia Wenze sat on the side and listened to him quietly, and took his hand to play with it, "If you want to eat, you can tell my brother and the others."

Meng Yining said: "Look, my cousin's husband makes the most authentic dishes. His family has been a country cook for generations. My cousin's husband is not in the same base as us. He is in the Shunan base. It is quite far from our base. Yes." After the apocalypse, he actually never ate these dishes made by his eldest cousin-in-law.

His mother would do the same thing, but it's always less so.But he also loves to eat. "Mom can do it too."

"We will prepare what we need, and I will trouble Mom to do it." Xia Wenze always pronounced the word "Mom" very slowly, as if he was not used to this name.

"Yeah." Meng Yining got up and lifted the lid of the pot, "It's done."

Xia Wenze turned off the fire, came over and carefully took out the meat roll and put it on a plate, "It smells delicious."

"That's right, it tastes delicious too." Meng Yining smelled the aroma, "I think it's well done, so eat less, and I'm going to make old duck vermicelli soup at night."

"This throwing duck vermicelli soup is also delicious."

"Try it tonight." Xia Wenzhe took a bite of the meat roll he had cut.

The two were eating meat rolls in the kitchen when someone knocked on the courtyard door outside.

Xia Wenze came out and saw Uncle Niu, "Uncle Niu."

"Hey, this is the duck ordered by Brother Ning." Uncle Niu's honest face was full of smiles.

"Thank you." Xia Wenze went into the room and handed him the money.

"Hey, then I'll go first."

"I killed the duck." Xia Wenze carried the duck into the kitchen and took a basin and a knife to the well in the backyard.

Meng Yining came over to help, "Keep the duck feathers."

"Okay." Xia Wenze killed the duck quickly, and put the duck in the basin when it was out of gas. Meng Yining went to the kitchen to scoop up hot water and pluck the duck's feathers.

"Wait until it's stewed for a while before eating." Knowing that it would be too late to eat old duck vermicelli soup, he made meat rolls to fill his stomach.Of course, it could also be said that he was hungry.

The author says:

I really want to eat glutinous rice with sanded meat, but unfortunately I can’t make it. .When I used to eat Xi Nian in Sichuan, I was waiting for this dish to be served.There are also incense bowls. I see that many of them are cut into slices on the Internet, but we cut them into the length of the index finger and put them on top.Many dishes in Sichuan are delicious.
