Chapter 139: Red Eggs Boiled with Madder
The exiles had a meal of rice porridge today, and when they heard that Xie Ning had given birth to a daughter, many people went to congratulate him in the rain.
Even if you have no money or things, at least you can say a few auspicious words!
Xie Yanyan came out of the upper room and saw Xie Jinping and his two sons swaying in the wind at the corner of the corridor.
"Miss San, you're back?"
"Yeah." Xie Yanyan looked at him coldly, waiting for the next words. This person who wanted to be the clan leader hadn't become the clan leader yet?
"I heard that the eldest master has a daughter. Congratulations."
"Thank you. The child is too young. See you guys in a few days. Thank you for your hard work."
"Okay, okay." Xie Jinping was very happy and left tactfully.
Xie Xinghe brought his sons Xie Jiawang and Xie Jiabao, as well as his two daughters-in-law, holding baby shoes and two small clothes in their hands. He said that he didn't know whether the baby was a boy or a girl, so they shouldn't dislike the small clothes they made.
Xie Yanyan answered the phone for Xie Ning and said, "The child is too young. I'll see you all when he's older."
Mrs. Chen told her that the baby was too weak and could not come into contact with too many people.
Xie Jinping returned to the bunk bed and pushed the door open. Strong wind and rain blew into the room. Xie Tingting yelled, "Why are you running out in the rain? Are you looking for death? Don't let your death drag us down."
Xie Jinping was so angry that he wanted to slap her.
Xie Tingting rushed over in a rage and Xie Jinping quickly dodged. No matter how short-sighted he was, he didn't dare to have skin contact with his niece's granddaughter.
"Shrew, mad dog!" he shouted angrily.
Fang sat aside, staring blankly outside. She was indifferent to their quarrel.
Xie Yao is gone.
She had lost hope.
Cui Mingshi got the soap recipe, but was beaten and crippled by his boss and expelled from Sihai Pavilion. Xie Tingting was afraid of being sold out by Cui Mingshi, so she stole Cui Mingshi's only 5 taels of silver and ran back.
The five taels of silver were soon spent. Xie Qingmu was so hungry that he forced his two concubines to sell themselves. The two concubines took the opportunity to escape.
He got beaten up, and then thought about asking his wife and daughter to hook up with someone.
Fang angrily scolded him: "Xie Qingmu, are you a beast?"
Xie Qingmu said impatiently: "Anyway, you have followed the bandits before. You sold them once, so what does it matter if you do it a few more times?"
The two of them were fighting each other. When Tiffany Xie listened to Xie Qingmu's plan, she laughed so hard that tears came out. This is her biological father!
I decided to go all out and take ruthless action.
She found an opportunity to trick Xie Yao out, saying she had meat for him, and then sold Xie Yao to a beggar.
By the time Fang found out, the beggar had already run away with Xie Yao.
In the past few months, Tingting Xie has finally understood that the Xie family, except for Xie Anfeng's family, is a den of wolves, full of wolves who eat people without leaving any bones. If she doesn't eat people, she will be eaten by others.
She chose to be a wolf.
At noon, Liu Mingjie came to the big bunk bed and told everyone: "Xie Ning is blessed with a baby girl. Thank you for your care along the way and for your blessings. The Xie family decided to give everyone brown sugar buns and eggs for the celebration."
"Is this true? Can I eat brown sugar buns?"
"Wedding eggs? Are there eggs to be distributed?"
"Thank you, Miss Third, for coming back. That's great, that's great..."
Liu Mingjie curled his lips and said, "Don't just think about picking up fish on dry land, be more careful! Who knows how to steam buns and make wedding cakes? Go and help!"
Xie Huan pushed Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, don't you know how to make wedding cakes? Second uncle has a granddaughter, let's go and help."
Ever since Xie Anhuai left, although Aunt Xue and her son were hungry, they felt more relaxed than ever before.
Aunt Xue lowered her head and said, "Master, will they dislike me..."
"No, go quickly!" Xie Huan said hastily, "I'll go too, I can light a fire."
Even Mrs. Su signed up immediately.
Soon, more than 30 men and women signed up. The women steamed buns and made wedding cakes, while the men dug madder and boiled red eggs.
The flour is fine white flour, and the brown sugar is also refined sugar. The steamed buns made with yeast powder are extremely fragrant. Before they are even out of the pot, a hint of sweet fragrance can be seen coming out of the hot steam.
Tang Ranran knew about medicinal herbs, so she volunteered to go to the cracks in the rocks behind the inn to look for madder. Xie Huan and the children of the Su family said, "Let us go with you. The wind and rain are too strong, so we don't want you to be blown away."
For dyeing eggs, hematoxylin is the best, but if there is no hematoxylin nearby, then use the root of madder.
After borrowing a shovel from the store, Tang Ranran pointed out which one was madder, and they moved the stones away to dig out the grass roots.
A group of people braved the strong wind and heavy rain, dug up the soil, dug up a large bundle of madder roots, washed them in water, spread them on the bottom of a pot and boiled them. When they turned deep red, they put the washed eggs into the pot, cooked them, and took them out after they were colored.
The red eggs cooked with madder are not only beautiful in color, but madder is also a traditional Chinese medicine. Tang Ranran said that its common name is Hongmao.
The brown sugar steamed buns and wedding cakes were ready. Xie Yanyan held the small buns and everyone carried them together, first giving them to the escorts, and then sending them in baskets to the big bunk bed.
Xie Anfeng first expressed his gratitude to everyone, and then announced that the Xie family's granddaughter was named Xie Nannan.
Everyone received a snack to celebrate the birth of their granddaughter.
No matter adults or children, everyone gets one portion, which includes a brown sugar steamed bun, two wedding cakes, a red egg, an apple, and a handful of candies.
On the road to exile, this is really a big and luxurious gift.
No one rushed to grab the food, and everyone happily took their share.
Xie Anfeng gave three copies to those who helped with the work.
When it was Xie Tingting, Fang and Xie Qingmu's turn, Xie Anfeng refused to issue them.
"Our food is for humans to eat, not for animals to eat."
Xie Qingmu knelt down and begged: "Second brother, please give me some, I am starving to death."
"Starving?"
"Um!"
“You deserve it!”
Tiffany Xie was about to lose her temper, but Xie Anfeng was not Xie Jinping, so he slapped Tiffany Xie and knocked her unconscious.
The intensity of the hurricane exceeded everyone's imagination, with rumbling thunder and wind, which occasionally uprooted trees outside and blew off roofs.
The first floor was soon flooded with water. The shopkeeper took people to block the door with sandbags in the middle of the night and scooped water out of the house.
Because Xie Yanyan was taking care of Song Lingling, he didn't return to the inn where he was staying in time, and now he can't go back even if he wants to.
The little baby kept crying, the sound was not loud, but soft, and Xie Yanyan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.
The little boy felt very curious and stood beside his sister, watching her without daring to touch her. When he saw her crying, he called out to Xie Yanyan, "Aunt, why is my sister crying all the time?"
“Maybe I’m hungry!”
Xie Yanyan took out the bottle from the space, sterilized it, mixed the milk powder, poured out a little, tried it to make sure it was not hot, and then put the nipple into Xie Nannan's mouth.
I can't hide it anymore. If I continue to hide it, my little niece will starve to death.
The little guy was very hungry, but didn't have much energy. He fell asleep due to exhaustion and only ate 10 ml of milk powder.
Mrs. Chen didn't know what milk powder was, and the milk bottle was even rarer. She touched the nipple and said in shock, "It's so realistic, just like the real thing."
Xie Yanyan thought, it must be realistic, it has been tested in the market countless times.
Xie Ning held little Nan Nan in her arms the whole time, and when she was hungry, she fed her daughter milk powder according to the method Xie Yanyan told her.
Song Lingling woke up in the middle of the night. Xie Yanyan cooked a bowl of noodles for her, adding brown sugar and eggs. Song Lingling ate a big bowl.
After handing the baby to Song Lingling, Xie Yanyan yawned and said to Xie Ning, "Brother, talk to sister-in-law. I'm so sleepy."
After two days of worrying, Xie Yanyan felt that she couldn't hold on any longer as soon as she relaxed. She took the little kid to the next room, and the aunt and nephew fell asleep in each other's arms.
Song Lingling had a good sleep and a full meal, but she was very anxious because it had been a day and a night since the baby was born, but she still hadn't produced any milk.
Dear babies, thank you for your support. Flowers for you and a 90-degree bow~
