Wen Family Has a Wife

It can be regarded as paying back the care of the Sun family in those years.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family began to clean up. The whole family was really dispatched, and even the clothes were taken out to wash and dry. It took two consecutive days to clean the inside and outside of the house.

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Ningya and her two daughters washed the stone mill early in the morning. Soy beans, mung beans, red beans and peas were all soaked in water and ground into pulp. Some rice and black rice were also ground. This can be made into kueh, both salty and sweet. But, it can also be made into naked strips of fried pork, which is also a good food.

If it weren't for grinding those beans, Chen Ningya wouldn't want to spend all this time.

The stone mill didn't stop for a day, but fortunately it was a donkey pulling the mill, otherwise Chen Ningya would definitely be tired and lay down.

Put the ground pea milk into the pot, add sugar, boil it on low heat, and the water evaporates almost, then start the pot, put it in the container and shape it, it is pea yellow when it cools down, and the rest of the soybean milk, red bean milk and mung bean milk are the same. However, these three items are to be used as fillings. Apart from these three items, Chen Ningya also asked Wen Youshan to grind sesame and peanuts.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, glutinous rice began to be made. This time, Chen Ningya prepared 50 catties of glutinous rice, all of which were steamed and sent to make bean rolls. It took two days to finish the 50 catties of glutinous rice, which was enough for their family to eat until the beginning of the spring, and still be able to use it back then. Courtesy, absolutely decent.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sheep are slaughtered.

Twenty-six buns in the twelfth lunar month, the family earned a lot this year, and Chen Ningya didn't want to lose the children's mouth, so she simply prepared a bunch of fillings, including shrimp and seaweed buns, octopus and reed buns, mutton buns, pork buns Mushroom buns, pork buns, red bean buns, mung bean buns, and vegetable buns, there are eight flavors in total, dazzling the Wen family, big and small. The same number of buns is 80, and the eight types are 640.

The stove at home never stopped, and Wen Youshan went out to pick up firewood, for fear that there would not be enough for Chen Ningya to burn at home.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, cakes are made. In addition to sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, there are also lotus cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, and five kernel cakes. The dried flowers and dried goods bought by Wen Youshan are used. In addition, a lot of bamboo tube rice is steamed in bamboo tubes. Not to mention how fragrant, the steamed bamboo rice can be frozen into pieces outside the house, and it will not spoil after a few days.

On the early morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wen Youshan took eight annual gifts to the county town. This year, the conditions of the family are good, and those relationships must be maintained. In the new year gifts, there are all kinds of food made by Chen Ningya, as well as preserved venison. The two largest ones also had some frozen seafood, which were prepared for the county magistrate, Shenbian Box, Feng Zhaotou. Regardless of whether the other party accepted it or not, the food still had to be given. I mean, the other ones were for help before. The three arresting fast, Mr. Hu, the shopkeeper of He's cloth village, and Cui Niang.

Cui Niang's side was also decided by Chen Ningya after careful consideration. Don't look at Fengchen women's affection, but they are also the most affectionate. Cui Niang has taken care of their family's business in the past two years, and most of Wen Youshan's goods are What Cui Niang ate, naturally, she had to maintain this line.

Wen Youshan never objected to Chen Ningya's decision. It was almost time for the goods to be shipped to the county seat. Wen Youshan's first stop was He's House.

It is now the age of the year, and many shops in the county have been closed, and it seems to be a lot deserted. However, the door of He's House is still open, and it will not be closed until the New Year's Eve. Fortunately, the shopkeeper moved his family to the county. Go back anytime.

Wen Youshan parked the donkey cart and directly moved the New Year's gift down. The shopkeeper thought he was here to deliver cloth, so he happily gave him a hand, "I said, Brother Wen, your speed is okay! How long has it been since then? I've got it, what color is it this time? Those silk cloths were sold out two days ago, and our owner urged me to buy them quickly!"

Wen Youshan gritted his teeth and took the things to the backyard, stretched his waist, and said, "This year is out of stock, this is not silk, it's a New Year's gift for you, it's all meals prepared at home, it's not worth much. A money, the shopkeeper keeps it and eats it slowly."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and his smile became more sincere, "What are you doing here in this cold weather! I thought it was delivery! Come on, since it's Brother Wen's intention, I'll take it! By the way, this It's too late to go back in time, but you want to settle down in the county?"

Wen Youshan nodded without thinking.

"Stay at the opposite inn for one night, and go back early tomorrow morning, shopkeeper, I won't tell you, I have to go elsewhere to send New Year's gifts."

When Wen Youshan left, the shopkeeper opened those things. I thought it was just ordinary food, but I didn't expect it to be so exquisite. There are several kinds of desserts, eight kinds of steamed buns, and two bamboo tubes. I don't know what is inside. What, there is also a large piece of bacon. It doesn't look like pork, but it is definitely a good thing. This New Year's gift is not light.

The shopkeeper can't help but take it seriously. When he is about to send things home, he asks the mother-in-law to prepare a considerable New Year's gift and send it to Buzhuang, and he will go to the inn in the evening.

Wen Youshan had already arrived at the school at this time, so it would be faster to give the New Year's gift to the husband. In addition, other students also came to give it. The school was very busy, so Wen Youshan put down his things and left.

Then I went to Feng's house. Feng Xinghai was drinking a small wine at home at the moment, very comfortable. Seeing Wen Youshan coming over, he was so happy that he immediately asked his mother-in-law to prepare meals.

Wen Youshan hurriedly stopped, "Sister-in-law, don't be too busy, I'm just here to give a New Year's gift. There are other places to move around, so I can't stay for long."

"What? How can you leave so quickly after a rare visit!" Feng Xinghai looked unhappy.

Wen Youshan moved things in, not afraid of Feng Xinghai's face change at all, and said directly: "Brother Feng, these are for you, there are all kinds of dim sum buns made by my wife, and two bamboo tubes, enough for your family to taste. Fresh, there is also a piece of cured venison, which I made, and these are seafood, which are all fresh and can be cooked after thawing.

There are a few other copies that I would like to trouble you to send for me. One is Wang Erzhukuai, and He Yong and Liu Ming. I have never been to these three families, and I am not familiar with them. The things that happened back then troubled them. My family is stretched thin, and I can’t come up with good things even if I want to thank them. This year, the conditions at home are good, so it’s time to prepare. There is another copy like yours, which is for the county magistrate. sorry to bother you. "

"Oh! You're really not being polite to me!" Feng Xinghai widened his eyes and scolded with a smile.

Wen Youshan looked like our brothers were good, "How can I be polite to Big Brother Feng!"

"Since you're welcome, then stay and have a drink with me, and I'll help you with this." Feng Xinghai smiled wickedly.

Wen Youshan had a bitter look on his face, "Looks like it's impossible not to drink this wine!"

Feng Xinghai's wife, Huang Xuelan, glanced at her man angrily, and asked the servants to put the things away, then got up and went out to prepare food.
