Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

Mrs. Lu Zhang wanted to talk to her man, but Lu Datian snored loudly after lying on the kang.But she felt that if she didn't talk about it, she would really die of anger, so she pushed the eldest daughter who was next to her.

In this very cold day, the heat from the kang in the main room is the only one. After all, the house is always warm for a day's worth of meals.As for other people's rooms, they burn firewood while they are sleeping, which saves money.

Now in the east room, only Lu Zhangshi, Lu Datian, and their two daughters are sleeping.The old daughter Lu Xiuxiu went to Westinghouse and slept with several nieces and nieces.After all, this is the countryside, there is no such thing as seven-year-olds, and they don't pay attention to that.Some are poorer, and the three generations of a family only sleep on one kang in order to save firewood.

Lu Baozhen didn't sleep either. In fact, she was quite concerned about the fact that Lu Guangming's family opened a restaurant today.She really couldn't understand how the family, which had been miserable at the beginning, suddenly got better after breaking away from her mother's control.After thinking about this, her mind uncontrollably remembered the words she heard from others when she visited.

Why was your family kicked out that day, and you were paid 200 taels of silver.

Why did your mother say that she wanted to catch ghosts and gave the Taoist priest money, but the Taoist priest caught your mother instead.

Of course, there were still some scattered little things during the period, but they were just losing chickens or eating bad stomachs.But this made Lu Baozhen feel that something was wrong no matter how she thought about it, and she always felt that all these things seemed to be brought down by her own mother.Or maybe it's because my family lives there, and then Lu Guangming's family gets more and more difficult, and they will have money after they come back?There is also my natal family, which was quite generous before, but looking at it now, it is not as good as before.

Could it be that her own mother was in decline?

Just as she was thinking wildly, she noticed that Mrs. Lu Zhang was pushing her, so she couldn't help but leaned to the side.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Lu Zhang said angrily: "What else can I do? That family has a dark heart. When we lived in their house, we hid everything deeply. If we used this method of making sugar and meat, we would Can I live so hard? I'm so filthy, I'm afraid our family will take advantage of them."

Lu Baozhen thought she didn't take advantage of it. She lived here for six years and lost 200 taels! !Just thinking about it makes me bleed!

She said: "Mother, where do you think his family's method came from?"

Lu Zhangshi was also thinking about this, "I don't know, did you hide it before?"

"But before our family didn't go there, didn't they take it out?" Lu Baozhen said in a low voice, "Mom, I'm thinking, I'll go to his stall tomorrow and have a look."

Lu Zhang's face turned down, and he said: "What are you looking at? What's there to look at? I saw it in the town during the Chinese New Year. He was like a beggar. On the cakes and candies wrapped for us, there was still There are black handprints!" Thinking of this incident, she became angry, and originally wanted to scold over there, but was stopped by Lu Datian, so she could only scold in the yard.

Lu Baozhen curled her lips, thinking that I knew about it, if it wasn't for your grandson Yuan Bao who went to touch other people's things, they might not even be willing to give you cakes and candies with fingerprints on them.She knew her mother's temper. Anyway, she didn't live with her on weekdays, and she didn't treat herself badly every year.Besides, there is a scholar nephew in the family, which is also honorable.

"I'm just trying to make a fool of myself. I haven't come back once or twice a year, and I haven't made a fool of myself with them, have I?" Maybe I can still have a meal.

"What's the point? They can still give you money?" Lu Zhang was still angry, "I told you that you have to guard against their Lu Qianshan. I really misjudged him before, because he is an honest person. I know... huh, my stomach is full of bad water! If he hadn't tossed about, our family could have moved out? Can we live so tight this year? With a vicious face, I thought I was a sweet potato, and I didn't even think about it It's a person who has been retired, and it's a shame to show up in public!"

Hearing this, Lu Baozhen's expression turned a little ugly.Her family also runs a small business, and there are two shops in another town.Now she is in charge of the family, that is, the real proprietress, isn't she also showing her face every day to take care of business in the shop?But her mother's way of speaking is like this, she never cares about what others think, she just said that she is happy and she is happy.

"Maybe he just felt that he was divorced and came back, and he was broken. Mother, think about it, all the people who come and go over there are businessmen. If you can't help it, someone will take a fancy to him and marry him from afar. What?" Lu Baozhen said.

Mrs. Lu Zhang thought for a while and snorted: "I think that's what their family thinks. A little brother is still divorced. Who wants to marry nearby? Why not marry far away? It's better to marry deep in the mountains. Don’t come out even if you’re dead!”

Lu Baozhen said: "That's it, I'll go over tomorrow and have a look. Mom, it's getting late, you should go to bed quickly."

She really didn't want to hear Mrs. Lu and Zhang's nonsensical chatter, it was too annoying.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhou got up in a hurry.

She fried two pots of lamb last night, and there was only half a lamb left at home.There are not many left in the water, because I didn't expect to sell so well at the time, and I didn't want much.Last night Lu Guangming was looking at the store, and Lu Qianfan braved the wind to find the family who delivered the mutton to his family at night, and made an appointment to bring back two sheep and some pigs in the morning.

Getting into the water is not a good thing these days, it's very cheap.Coupled with the smell of sheep offal, not many people eat it.

People from that family came before dawn and set up a donkey cart.There are still two sheep, but there is an extra basket of processed offal and more than half of the basket of sheep bones.The meat on the bones has been shaved clean, which is considered a head.

Mrs. Zhou paid the money, and asked the young man who drove the car to drink a bowl of haggis soup left over from yesterday, and sent him away after eating two pancakes just out of the pan. He also made an appointment that if there was no problem, he would deliver something once every two days .

After these mutton and haggis got off the car, the whole family got busy.

Lu Qianshan also wanted to help, but Zhou didn't let him do it.In her eyes, her second son was to take care of the little fairy, and she couldn't let these bloody and dirty things fall on her body. What if the little fairy got upset?

After everything was packed and transported to the jar, the sky was just getting brighter.

Lu Guangming started the stove early, and turned on the stove as soon as the things were brought in. The cauldron at the door was also set up, and the haggis was stewed.The stove in the kitchen wiped a pot of sticky noodle porridge, and the family had a full breakfast with the leftover steamed buns, pancakes, and pickles from yesterday’s sale.

Maodong in the north basically doesn't eat breakfast, and even if he eats it, it's just a bowl of gruel.It is a luxury for Lu Guangming's family to eat like this, but who makes more work.

Lu Qianyou and the two twins didn't come today, one is because Lu Qianyou is fourteen, Zhou doesn't want her daughter to get in touch with too many men outside, and the other is that the two younger ones are too young, and there are pots and pans in the house It is troublesome to bump the spoons and spoons.And there is food and drink at home, by the way, I asked Lu Qianyou to find a familiar neighbor and ask if he could take the two puppies to look after the home.

Lu Qianshan still followed. When it got busy here, there really wasn't enough manpower. At least he could help cut a dish to settle the bill.

And he found that Xiaolong Zai'er's mood is not very high these days, and he is very clingy.Last night when he was sleeping, he had to drag his little quilt onto Lu Qianshan's pillow, and if he wanted to sleep next to him, he wouldn't be afraid of being crushed by turning over.

He woke up early these two days, even if Xiaolong Zai'er was sleepy, he closed his eyes and put on his clothes and wanted to follow him to death, and when he was put into his arms, he would drag him by the lapel of his clothes and continue to sleep, he didn't know what he was trying to do.

Few of the merchants from the south stayed. After all, they passed through county towns, and they ate there when they wanted to eat.However, the smell of mutton here is so attractive that some merchants will still spend money to buy a few cans of mutton and keep them for eating on the road.

As for the merchants going south, most of them will stop, drink a bowl of hot mutton soup, and eat two newly posted pancakes to relieve the cold.Not to mention them, even people from the nearby villages heard that there is a restaurant here, and the food they buy is particularly delicious and not expensive, and those who have two dollars in their hands will come to try the crafts.Thirty cents a can of mutton is unaffordable, but a few people can pool their money to buy a twenty cents a can of mutton, plus five cents for haggis soup and pancakes, and you can eat it for less than ten cents a meal.Although it is a little expensive, but after all, all you eat is meat, and it is actually quite cost-effective when you think about it.

Because these merchants have some money in their pockets, after hearing that a handsome young man like Lu Qianshan said that someone would take out mutton to eat on the road, they were also moved, and they would buy a few cans more or less.

Lu Qianshan sat beside him and said: "...my mutton is very fragrant. When I was on the road, I had no place to eat, so I took a can out of it and poured it into the pot. Add some water and stew it. The vegetables can be eaten with pancakes and steamed buns. The soup will be served later. A handful of noodles can definitely be eaten well.”

Not only some people buy mutton, but also some people are willing to cut up a catty or two of stewed haggis and take it with them.On the road, boil hot water and put the haggis into it, add some salt or something, and it will be a pot of haggis soup.Although it is not as strong as the one here, it is delicious and warm after eating.

Lu Qianshan listened to them, and another idea appeared in his mind.

He asked Lu Guangming to buy dozens of small palm-sized jars, and then bring back some more chili and sesame seeds.

Although people who run out of business these days have money in their pockets, they are exposed to wind, rain and sun on weekdays. If they miss a place halfway, they can only eat dry pancakes and jerky to satisfy their hunger.He planned to fry a pot of mutton chili sauce. The sauce was fried with homemade miso, and the oil was rapeseed oil. A jar the size of a palm sold for five cents and made a decent profit.

Lu Guangming felt that he was just running errands, but he was happy running this time.After his son finished speaking, he didn't even bother to eat here, so he ran out directly. Zhou yelled at the back but didn't call him back.

"Your father is a quick-tempered person, so don't talk about work during meals." Zhou sighed, but after sighing, he wanted to laugh again.

Zeng Hongmei said while eating: "I don't know what's going on in our Shanshan's mind. We can make money every now and then!" She now completely sees Lu Qianshan as a ghost, if she is not afraid Zhou Shi didn't want to see her when she said it out, she wished she could offer Lu Qianshan a few sticks of incense.

We ate half of the meal here, and there were people again.

Seeing the person who came in, Mrs. Zhou's expression turned pale.

Lu Baozhen pretended not to see Zhou's face, pushed her three children, and said with a smile: "Call your aunt, his aunt, I'll come and have a look. Oh, it looks really good."

The family she married was from Cong. Back then, Dalu Guangzeng, the old Lu family, hadn't been admitted to Tongsheng, so Lu Baozhen's marriage could only be considered average, and it was far away.She is the second son and daughter-in-law of the Cong family.This time she came here and brought all three children. The eldest is already sixteen from Jinshu, and he can see his wife.Lu Baozhen thought about taking her eldest son to the county town to make friends with her elder brother and nephew, so that she could find a good daughter-in-law for her son from the county town.The second son is called Cong Yinshu. He is only ten years old this year.There is a girl named Cong Lanlan, who is also dark, but these children look like the Lu family, and they have good features.

Entering from the golden tree, seeing Lu Qianshan standing on the side, he was a little unable to walk.He had only seen this little brother from a distance before, and thought that although he was good-looking, he was thin and unattractive.But this time, I found that this little brother is completely different from before.

A head of long black hair was tied into a big braid hanging behind him, and his eyes were big and bright, as if he could talk.And that slap-sized little face, fair and beautiful, can be broken with a single blow.

He licked his lips and stared straight at Lu Qianshan.

Lu Qianshan was not angry when he saw him like this.He was born good-looking before, and he has long been used to being looked at.But Mrs. Zhou was not happy about it, and with a cold snort, he retreated Lu Qianshan to the kitchen, saying, "Oh, what's wrong with this matter today, why did you come here? My temple here is small, and it can't hold a big Buddha like you. "

She hates this person from the bottom of her heart, not only Lu Baozhen, she hates everyone in the Lu family now, as for Lu Baozhen and Lu Baozhu, as soon as these two married aunts come back, Lu Zhang will definitely toss them in different ways family.I didn't think it was a big deal before, but now that I think about it, aren't these people playing tricks from behind?

There are still two tables of guests in the room for dinner, their eyes are brightened seeing this posture, waiting to watch the play.

Lu Baozhen was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I can't write two Lu characters in one stroke. What his aunt said made me feel cold."

Mrs. Zhou is the most stupid, she was a bit stuck when she said that, she didn't know what to say.

Zeng Hongmei said with a smile: "Don't say that, old lady. You are married, so why do you want to write two Lu characters without writing? Now it's all except Wufu, so let's get married again. Yes, not so good, right?"

Lu Baozhen glanced at Zeng Hongmei with her slender eyes, and the smile on her face was a little stiff, "How can a daughter-in-law be so careless? Your parents haven't spoken yet, so you have the right to speak?"

Zhou said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is half of my family. What are you doing here?"

Lu Baozhen really never thought that Zhou, who used to be honest and friendly, would speak so harshly now.She thought that if she showed a good face, the other party would have to smile in response.And just now she also saw Lu Qianshan, Lu Zhang muttered to make her pay attention to such a character, looking at it now, it's really a bit unbelievable.

Why is it so juicy?

Lu Baozhen is the proprietress of the two shops anyway, and she has long practiced the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense to people.She smiled and said: "His aunt, I know that those things at home made you uncomfortable at the beginning, and now I am happy to see you living a good life. In fact, I persuaded my mother at the beginning, but you also know, I'm a married girl who doesn't come back several times a year, so what's the use of what I say?"

As she spoke, she sighed, sat down at a table, and said, "I said to come to see you today, but my mother was not happy, so she yelled at me. I just thought, when you just got married In this village, when I was not married, the two of us often chatted. Thinking about it this way, it was as good as it was when I was a girl back then. How is it like now, with all kinds of messy things that make people headache..."

Before she finished speaking, Cong Yinshu grabbed her arm and yelled: "Mother, I want to eat meat, I smell the smell of meat, I want to eat meat!"

Lu Baozhen scolded: "Go home and eat later, can your grandma not let you eat meat?"

"Grandma's meat is not as delicious as here!" started playing from Yinshu, "every day stewed potatoes with cabbage, just put such a little meat, everyone has to count and eat. Mom, I want to eat meat, I'm hungry! "

"Look at this child..." Lu Baozhen looked helpless.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't see her child starving, so she felt a little soft-hearted.

Although Lu Qianshan was in the kitchen, he could see clearly what was going on outside, so he smiled and said, "Mom, it's not easy for my aunt to come here at noon, even if his grandma's family doesn't care about food, it's still okay for our family to take care of a child's full meal." Yes. Give me a bowl of haggis soup, no money."

After he finished speaking, the diners at the two tables next to him burst out laughing.

Lu Baozhen's smile froze on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times before he said reluctantly: "That's what I said... But we came this time to try his aunt's handicrafts, and we can't do without money. So what, How much are the things here?"

Zeng Hongmei suppressed a smile, reported the menu again, and said: "Anyway, they are all from the same village. Auntie, if you order mutton, we will send you a plate of cold shredded cabbage."

Who lacks your shredded cabbage!

Lu Baozhen endured the anger in her heart, and said: "All right, let's have some mutton, and give each of us a bowl of haggis soup, and some pancakes. Oh, I haven't eaten his aunt's cooking for a long time. I was panicking. Every time I go back, I boast to my mother-in-law that the big sister’s cooking is really delicious, and I think about it for months.”

Zeng Hongmei quickly served them soup, opened a can of mutton, took a plate of eight pancakes, and said, "A total of 54 Wen, auntie, I'll mix cabbage for you."

Lu Qianshan said again: "Fifty Wen is enough, they are all from the same village, why charge the extra four Wen? Just now I said that there is no money for that child to eat a bowl of soup."

Zeng Hongmei said: "Then fifty Wen."

After speaking, he winked at Lu Qianshan, and went to mix shredded cabbage with a suppressed smile.

Lu Baozhen took a sip of the mutton soup and smacked it in his mouth. He could only feel the delicious taste in his mouth, but he couldn't taste what was put in it.She was eating a piece of stewed mutton. The mutton was so crispy that it would melt in her mouth.After chewing twice, the mouth is full of meaty fragrance, and there is no smell of mutton.

She was beating drums in her heart, thinking that the Zhou family really got some good recipe this time, otherwise how could they make the mutton so delicious?It's not that she has never eaten mutton, she put onion and turmeric sauce and stewed it with water. Although it was okay to eat, the smell of mutton was really uncomfortable.But this, how can this be so delicious?Not only is the mutton delicious, but even the potatoes, beans, and radishes stewed in it have absorbed enough gravy, and eating it in your mouth is as delicious as eating meat! !

The two tables next to it originally only wanted mutton soup, but now they smelled the smell of mutton and couldn't help drooling, so they hurriedly said, "Miss Boss, give us two cans too, just need the [-] Wen."

Zhou said with a smile, "Okay."

In fact, even the [-]-wen ones are very delicious, and some bones are stewed until soft, and the bones can even be chewed and eaten if the teeth are good.After eating the mutton, rinse the jar with hot water, and it will be a big bowl of fragrant broth.

Lu Baozhen and the others ate without looking up, even if they were full from Yinshu, they still clamored to continue eating tomorrow.Lu Baozhen agreed vaguely, and said to Zhou: "It's really delicious, and it smells so good to me. With your skill, you can't go to the county to open a big restaurant in the future?"

Zhou ignored her and was busy receiving new guests.

Lu Baozhen was full of displeasure. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and said, "Okay, I think you're busy here, so I'll go first. We sisters and I need to chat more when we have time, you The skill of cooking is so good, you can teach me more, and I can cook a few delicious meals for my family when I go back."

Mrs. Zhou said: "It's just home-cooked food. Is there anything I can teach you? If you are willing to use more meat and more oil, it will be delicious." Seeing that Lu Baozhen was about to leave, he quickly called people to stop, "Fifty Wen, No money yet."

Lu Baozhen pretended to forget, and wiped his body for a long time before stamping his feet, "Oh, I just wanted to talk to you today, and I forgot to bring money."

Seeing that Zhou's face was not very good-looking, she smiled and said, "It's just fifty Wen, just go to my house and get it after you're done."

Zhou Shi had never seen such a shameless person, and was immediately speechless with anger.

Lu Qianshan couldn't help laughing. He came out of the kitchen, stood there, and said, "Mom, I've said it all, their grandma doesn't care about food, just come to us for a meal or two. It's estimated that their family will get married. My daughter is not as good as my son Jingui, this girl will not be full when she returns home..." Then she said to Lu Baozhen: "This aunt, it's all right, it's just a meal. I can’t stop crying, let alone we are all from the same village.”

The diners heard that something was wrong, and someone asked, "Didn't they tell you to go to his house to get the money? Why are you still running on people like this?"

Lu Baozhen also quickly said: "Yes, it's not that I won't give it, you can go to my house to get it later."

Lu Qianshan ignored him, but said to the guest: "You don't know, our family has fallen out with theirs long ago, the kind who doesn't talk when they meet each other on weekdays. If it weren't for this aunt who came here for dinner at noon, I would I don't even know their family..." He said with a smile, "They don't feed the daughter and grandson who come back home."

"So this is ah?"

"You look decently dressed, didn't you expect life to be so hard?"

"What's the matter? People still wear jewelry, how hard can it be?"

"Isn't it hard to go back to my mother's house to be unlikable? Jewelry is just for decoration, can it be eaten as food?"

"That's right... who is this family? Does the daughter care about food when she brings her grandson back?"

Cong Lanlan was young after all, she blushed so hard after hearing these words, she hid behind his mother.Even Cong Jinshu, who couldn't move his eyes when he saw Lu Qianshan, lowered his head in embarrassment, and kept giving his mother winks.Only Cong Yinshu, probably unable to hear any good words, said loudly: "Is it true that my grandma can come here to eat regardless of the meal? Then I can come to eat at night, okay?"

Zeng Hongmei burst into tears with a smile, and said repeatedly: "It's really poor, your grandma doesn't care about the food, you just come to eat, and you don't care if you are full."

Before Yinshu could be happy, he was slapped by Lu Baozhen.Lu Baozhen held back her anger and squeezed out a piece of broken silver from the purse in her arms, "Who said you don't care about food? I, I just didn't bring copper coins. Find this silver for me!"

She was really going to be pissed off, this Lu Qianshan really shouldn't be underestimated!
