The daily life of the husband who crossed the field

When returning home, Dashun's sister-in-law was very enthusiastic, and together with Xu Zijia, pointed to the location of her own house along the way: "Okay, I'm home. Look, my house lives here, and I will come to play often when I have free time in the future!"

"Yeah." Xu Zijia quickened his pace after waving goodbye to her, and the rain started to fall again. The rain in autumn was not as fierce as in summer, but it lasted much longer.

Zhang Zhen is cooking at home. In the past ten days, he has sold a total of two taels of silver, which is quite a lot. However, there are many things missing in the house. He still wants to change to a bigger brick house. money.

The house at home is made of mud, and the roof is thatched, so this place is called a mud house, also called a thatched house. On rainy days, it feels like there are splashes of mud splashing all over the place, which can't be shaken off even if it gets on clothes and shoes. It was a little dark in the room, so it didn't look so spacious.

For dinner, Zhang Zhen made a crispy radish ball, cut the radish into shreds, crumbled the steamed buns, added eggs and seasonings to make the filling, took a small amount of filling, kneaded the radish balls by hand, and then cooked the oil, Put in the radish balls, deep-fry the radish balls with medium-low heat until golden brown, remove and drain the oil, wait until the oil temperature in the pot rises to [-]% heat, put in the radish balls again, deep-fry until crispy, remove and put on a plate .

There is also a white meat with garlic paste. Wash and blanch the bought pork belly, put it in the pot, boil it with water, add refined salt, cook on low heat until the meat is cooked, then take it out, let it cool and slice it, then wash the cucumber and remove it. Dice the skin, and finally pour the chicken essence, oyster sauce, minced green onion and ginger, diced cucumber and mashed garlic evenly on the pork belly slices.

It would have been better to add chili oil, but it seems that there is no such thing as chili in this era. He remembered that chili was introduced to China only in the Ming Dynasty. People in this place have never even heard of it, let alone seen it. It shows that the dynasty was at least before the Ming Dynasty, but now that the night market is open again, it must be after the prosperous Tang Dynasty.The spice here is mainly cornel, which is not available at home now, so we have to wait until the weather clears to go to the mountains to pick some seasoning.

Of course, there is no shortage of desserts after meals. Now that the taro and oranges are ripe, the taro is soft and delicious, and the orange taste is also juicy and sweet. Peel and wash the taro, steam it, mash it into a puree and cool it thoroughly, then Then put the taro mash into a bowl, add sugar and honey and mix well. If you don’t have goji berries, use jujubes instead, then put them on the plate and pour orange juice. It’s delicious and nutritious.

There is also a separate orange juice, which is squeezed by the juicer in the space. Of course, sugar and honey are also used, but I bought a little honey and sugar two days ago in order not to make my daughter-in-law suspicious.

Recently, the family bought a lot of meat, and the two of them ate almost every meal. For the time being, Zhang Zhen was barely satisfied with this kind of life.

After a few days, the weather finally cleared up. The two of them got up early and made some grilled yams with dates and mashed taro to sell. The weather had turned cold, so there was no need for cold yams to be served with rice, and it was relatively easy to make. Trouble, it has been raining for so long, and many people feel depressed. Eating sweets usually makes people feel happy, so Zhang Zhen plans to only sell desserts this time.

Grilled yam with jujube is still two yuan a piece, and taro mash is sold for three yuan a piece.

Zhang Zhen is not in a hurry, he is still giving everyone a free trial of the new product, and by the way promotes: "Is it sweet? I add sugar and honey in it. If I add less, how can it be so delicious? What is the price of sugar and honey, auntie?" You know it too. To tell you the truth, if I really can’t sell it, I won’t sell it in the future, and I can cook and eat it myself.”

This aunt is not someone else, she is the one who bought cold yam shreds at the beginning. The grandchildren and daughters of the family like the snacks sold here very much, and they are not as expensive as the shops, which is acceptable. After thinking about it, they are greedy The youngest daughter, the aunt endured heartache and bought the first copy: "Give me a copy, remember to get a bigger bag."

"Okay." Zhang Zhen readily agreed, "Auntie is a regular customer, this time I will give away a free set of jujube grilled yam, thank you for always patronizing us."

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, and the auntie smiled immediately. It was like buying something worth five yuan for three renminbi, and she made a profit.

The sales were a little slow all morning, but Zhang Zhen didn't prepare much at first. Today, the daughter-in-law said that she would clean up the yard at home, but she didn't come. Zhang Zhen felt that the sale was almost done, so she went home.

"Dasong! Dasong!" Zhang Zhen was carrying the burden when he heard someone shouting behind him. He was used to the village people's name. Because Zhang Shousong was the boss, he was always called Dasong, and the others were the same, most of them followed the family name. Siblings are sorted by name.

It's just that he didn't stop. He heard the voice of Second Aunt Zhu, and Zhang Zhen didn't want to answer it. The recent rumors in the village knew that she did it.

Second Aunt Zhu followed all the way, seeing that there were fewer pedestrians on the road, she hurriedly called Zhang Dasong, who knew that the other party ignored her, so in desperation, she dragged herself and ran forward.

When she got to the front, Second Aunt Zhu panted, "Da Song, why don't you wait for me, I've been calling for so long."

Zhang Zhen ignored her, and Second Aunt Zhu was a little embarrassed, knowing that the other party might have heard the gossip in the village, but she was asking for something today, so of course she couldn't bring up that matter, and said to herself: "Dasong Ah, do you know that your daughter-in-law has gotten a little close to Dashun's family recently, it's terrible, you know, it's not like there are no elder brothers who marry daughters-in-law, so you have to be careful."

Zhang Zhen knew about this. Usually, he also liked to tell his daughter-in-law what the other party did today, and chat to increase the relationship between them.Thinking of his little daughter-in-law, Zhang Zhen really missed her. Why is the two quarters of an hour today so long, so she immediately quickened her pace.

Aunt Zhu couldn't keep up, but she was happy in her heart, thinking that Dasong was going back quickly to trouble his wife, so she hurriedly hit the rails while it was hot: "Tell me, it was you who had no money at the time, and Xiaosong paid for it." I bought you a brother with a few hundred pennies, and he is not honest. Now that you have money, you should find a woman to serve you. Women are so nice, soft, and don’t go out to run around. The most important thing is to give you a baby quickly."

Zhang Zhen understood what she meant this time. Didn't she just feel that her family has some money, and then she became jealous, and now she is driving him to sow discord, and immediately said coldly: "No need!"

Second Aunt Zhu looked at the few pieces of mashed taro left in his basket, and swallowed. She saw a piece of three Wen coins just now, and this Dasong was trying to steal money!If his niece married him, wouldn't all the money have to be his own?

Thinking of this, and ignoring the cold face of the other party, Second Aunt Zhu continued to say: "Do you remember that there is a niece in my natal family? You met each other when you were young. She is also at the age of marriage. I think you are getting married. It's just right, my niece is a lucky one, and she's also good-looking. If you two get together, you'll be responsible for earning money outside, and let her take care of your children at home, and then the second aunt can also help you, how wonderful ah."

Zhang Zhen didn't even want to hear these nonsense nonsense, what if it reached the ears of his daughter-in-law?But he made an idea in his heart to gag her.

It just so happened that the village was approaching, so Zhang Zhen walked towards his home in three steps and two steps. Second Aunt Zhu saw that he was a little unhappy, she curled her lips, turned her head and went home by herself, but she thought about how to deal with this matter anyway. do it.
