    ?

    In the evening, Yuzhi's family of three returned home and found that everyone was very calm, as if what happened last night had never happened.

    Chen Fugui sat firmly in the main room smoking a pipe, Gao still went to the kitchen to supervise the cooking of the daughters-in-law, and Chen Jiaoniang didn't know what to do in the bedroom.

    After Mrs. Gao came out of the kitchen, Mrs. Dong said to Mrs. Wang in a low voice: "The second couple took Yuchuan to eat breakfast and left!"

    After hearing this, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, let me take a little breather."

    When the lights in the main room were extinguished, Chen Yaozu also snored in the south dark room of the East Wing, Yuzhi then went to find Mrs. Wang who was holding her shoe soles in front of the oil lamp in the main room: "Mother, let's boil some hot water and take a bath."  Bar!"

    Wang took out the awl, stuck the big needle in, and said without raising his head, "Go and see if your grandparents are all asleep."

    If Gao did not sleep, he would blame them for wasting firewood to boil water for bathing.

    Yuzhi smiled: "I just watched it, and they are all asleep, only the third uncle's house in the west wing and our east wing are left with lights on!"

    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately put down the soles of the shoes that were still stuck with needles: "Let's go, let's boil the water first!"

    While Yuzhi was boiling water in the kitchen, Mrs. Wang quietly went to call Mrs. Dong again.

    In the countryside in the northwest, it is really troublesome to boil water and pour water for the next bath in spring. Naturally, such a thing should be called Mrs. Dong.

    Mrs. Dong came over soon.

    The three of them took turns to boil water, and then took a quick bath in Yuzhi's room.

    After taking a bath, Mrs. Dong went back to her room and went to sleep.

    Yuzhi, with her damp long hair hanging loose, sat in the main room with Mrs. Wang, drying her hair and doing needlework at the same time.

    She is embroidering shoe uppers for herself. The black satin upper has a rose flower embroidered with light pink silk thread.

    The soles of Wang's shoes were almost ready, so he said, "Yuzhi, give me the uppers, and I'll see how they look!"

    Yuzhi handed the half-embroidered upper to Wang.

    After Wang took it over, she took a closer look at the upper embroidered by Yuzhi, and immediately said: "Yuzhi, your embroidery this time is much better than last time!"

    Yuzhi smiled and said, "These are the results of my embroidering, tearing and embroidering, tossing and frustrating several times, can it be better than last time!"

    Mrs. Wang looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "The flowers are so brightly embroidered, as if they will bloom soon!"

    Yuzhi thought for a while, and said: "Mom, since you like it, I have time to embroider a purse for you!"

    Mrs. Wang was very happy: "That mother is waiting for your purse!"

    The next morning, Chen Yaozu still left early.

    He called Tang Erbao from Shangyangguan Temple, and together they took tools and went to Sunji, not far west of Xihe Town, to kill pigs.

    There is an old rule in Weishi County, if a pig is killed, the owner will keep the pig and sell the rest to the butcher who killed the pig. Chen Yaozu and Tang Erbao, two butchers who butchered the pig, partnered up to share half a pig with each of them. Chen Yaozu went back to Xihe Town  Tang Erbao is sold on Yangguansi Street.

    Before going out, Mrs. Wang took a heavy dungaree and wrapped it around her waist, and put on a bright red double-breasted jacket that turned white and fuzzy after washing.

    Seeing Yuzhi staring at her with round eyes, big round eyes, black and white, looking so cute, Wang also laughed: "It's not because of you little enemy, I'm afraid your grandma and daddy will find out these five things  A hundred coins!"

    Yuzhi wanted to laugh, but her nose was sore.

    She lowered her eyes: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to make money."

    Yuzhi clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, secretly making up her mind.

    There is no market today, and the business of the butcher stall is not good.

    In the afternoon, seeing that there were no guests, Mrs. Wang talked to Chen Yaozu, and left with Yuzhi on the pretext that she wanted to go back to Dawangzhuang to get the five hundred money borrowed by her younger brother Wang Bao.

    The mother and daughter went around to Dawangzhuang, and Mrs. Wang talked to Mrs. Wang and Wang Bao and his wife again, and then they went back with Yuzhi.

    Seeing that Mrs. Wang really brought back the money, Chen Yaozu couldn't say anything, so he said: "You two, please be busy, but you can't delay the work at home!"

    Mrs. Wang was too lazy to talk to Chen Yaozu, and after a busy half a day of running around with Yuzhi, she finally prepared charcoal, a charcoal stove and a large casserole.

    At this time, it was already evening, Yuzhi took the last one hundred yuan left and went to Mrs. Zhao's stall before she confiscated the stall, and finally got what she needed.  spices.

    Xiulan was very curious, she leaned over and said, "Yuzhi, what are you buying lemongrass for?"

    Yuzhi smiled and said: "Tomorrow morning? Just know it!  "

    She bought lemongrass, nard pine, star anise, fragrant papaya, kaempferen, fragrant leaves, thyme, cumin, tangerine peel, and peppercorns, etc., about twenty or thirty kinds of spices.  That's all, so at the end of the checkout, there are two left over a hundred dollars.

    Yuzhi simply took the two money and went to buy two green onions with whiskers and some sugar.

    Chen Yaozu and Wang Shi looked at each other, both a little surprised¡ª¡ªYuzhi is so capable now?  Really grown up!

    Yuzhi prepared all the ingredients, and then came to Chen Yaozu: "Father, how much pork belly is left in our family today?"

    Chen Yaozu neatly weighed the remaining pork belly and said, "There are still ten catties of pork belly left!"

    Yuzhi smiled and said, "Daddy, sell it to me at the market price!"

    Chen Yaozu fully agreed: "I'll sell it all to you!"

    Yuzhi said again: "I bought so much, let me give you a big pig bone!"

    Without waiting for Chen Yaozu to agree, she stretched out her hand and took the remaining pig bone.

    Because Yuzhi is indeed his own daughter, Chen Yaozu couldn't say anything, so he said: "I will send you off as soon as I send you off!"

    He said again: "Twenty Wen a catty, just give me two hundred Wen!"

    Yuzhi smiled: "I'll take credit first, and I'll return the money to Dad when I make money!"

    Chen Yaozu: ""

    Wang Shi couldn't help laughing on the side.

    After dinner in the evening, Chen Yaozu took the money box to go to the main room to settle the accounts. Mrs. Wang hurriedly chased after him and confessed in a low voice: "Talk to your in-laws about Yuzhi, and when you make money, take the two hundred Wen  Return to the public!"

    Yuzhi hurriedly said again: "Daddy, just say that I helped Gongzhong dispose of the remaining pork!"

    Chen Yaozu agreed and went to the main room without raising his head.

    Wang didn't care about it either, and went directly to the kitchen with Yuzhi holding the oil lamp.

    By this time, the kitchen had been cleaned up, and Yuzhi divided the condiments she bought today into two packages with fine gauze, one package of red lantern peppers and green onions, which are special products in the Northwest, and one package of the rest of the seasonings.

    After getting ready, Yuzhi asked Mrs. Wang to boil two pots of hot water. The big pot used pork bones to cook the broth, and the small pot was used to cook the seasoning packets.

    Seeing Yuzhi put the big pig bone into the cold water, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Yuzhi, the water is still cold just after the fire is lit!"

    Yuzhi's sleeves were rolled up high, revealing her white wrists, she put the big pig bone into the cold water in the cauldron, and said, "Mother, I remember that the guest from Luzhou said that the secret to making broth is  Put pork bones or chicken racks into a pot with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, then skim off the foam, then turn down low heat and cook for two hours!"

    Mrs. Wang said "ah": "Then I slept late tonight!"

    Yuzhi looked at Wang with a smile: "Mother, after the brine is boiled, add some seasonings, it will last for a long time!"

    Only then did Wang feel relieved.

    After a while, Yuzhi saw that the water in the small pot was boiling, so she put the seasoning packet in it, and after cooking for about a quarter of an hour, she took it out with a strainer, rinsed it with cold water and put it aside for later use.

    Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang asked, "Yuzhi, what are you going to do next?"

    Yuzhi calmed down and said leisurely: "Next, stir-fry the sugar color with granulated sugar!"

    This is Yuzhi's exclusive trick. Fry the sugar with sugar and add it to the brine to marinate the perfectly colored braised pork.

    These are things she has done countless times in her previous life, and she is so familiar with them that she is not worried about making mistakes.

    Chen Yaozu came over after sitting in the main room for half a day.

    Seeing the steam rising in the stove room, Yuzhi who was standing by the stove could hardly be seen anymore, so she said to Mrs. Wang, "Father and mother didn't say anything."

    Naturally, Wang knows that things cannot be so simple, but the matter has come to this point, so he can only take one step at a time.

    In the middle of the night, Chen Yaozu fell asleep. Seeing that Mrs. Wang hadn't come yet, he got up, put on his clothes and went to the stove house to see, but found that his wife and daughter were still busy in the stove house, so he stood at the door of the stove house and asked:  "How is the stewed pork?"

    Yuzhi smiled and said, "It's almost ready!"

    According to her experience, at this time, the pork belly should be stewed until it is fully cooked.

    Seeing that his wife and daughter were busy, Chen Yaozu also came in to help.

    Yuzhi made a decision, and with the help of Chen Yaozu and Wang Shi, she quickly put the brine and meat into the newly bought large casserole: "Father, after it cools down, take the casserole back to our East Wing!"

    Chen Yaozu agreed.

    Chen Jiaoniang, who was sleeping in the dark room on the west side of the main room, smelled the tempting smell of meat in her dream, she clicked her mouth, and said in a daze, "This meat smells so good!" (Remember this website: www.hlnovel  .com)?(Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
