Chapter 162 What you say should be 70% true and 30% false!
Yang Lihua quickly responded, "I don't understand. It's just that I've raised it for a long time, so it has become somewhat human."
Miss Min washed her hands and couldn't help showing off to her mother, "Mom, Zhuzhu and I just fed grass to the big black horse! The big black horse is picky about food and sneezes when it's unhappy. It's really funny!"
Madam Min took out a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's sweat and said lovingly, "You are so brave. You dare to get close to the horse. Be careful or I'll kick you!"
"No, Mom!" Miss Min quickly shook her head. "The big black horse is very smart. He even rubbed his head against my palm. And Zhuzhu's father is right there protecting us!"
Mrs. Min was fine with that. In fact, she was happy that her daughter was so lively, but she was also worried that she might change her temperament. It can be said that as a mother, she was always worried...
Soon, everyone sat down to eat.
Liu Dongniang wanted to go back to the front, but Yang Lihua pulled her to sit down with her.
The golden millet porridge, with red dates added, is thick and sweet, with a layer of rice oil shining brightly.
The leek and pork pot stickers are only pinched in the middle, with the other two sides open, revealing the emerald green and bright red inside. They are really beautiful and delicious.
The most pleasing thing is the golden crust underneath, which is crispy, oily and fragrant when you bite it.
Tai Jiye had previously brought back some seafood from the south. Liu Dongniang specially soaked the kelp, cut it into very thin strips, added old vinegar, minced garlic and coriander, which was very appetizing.
There is also the newly grown spinach in the vegetable garden, blanched and added with fried peanuts, which is also a good companion to Zuo porridge...
The dishes were all very simple, but Liu Dongniang's cooking skills were good and the ingredients were fresh, so Mrs. Min and her daughter, who were used to eating big fish and meat, liked them very much and found them very appetizing.
Especially when it is rare to eat outside, feeling the warm spring breeze, listening to the birds singing, smelling the faint scent of grass and trees in the air, taking a bite of porridge, a mouthful of pot stickers, and a bite of side dishes, the whole person unconsciously relaxes.
Finally, when the table was cleared, all the dishes were empty.
Mrs. Min coughed a few times awkwardly and blushed a little.
She had been taught since she was a child that she should not eat with an empty plate! She was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and people looked down on her.
But I was so happy chatting and laughing, and the food tasted so good, I forgot about it for a moment...
Yang Lihua saw her embarrassment and invited her to take a walk in the vegetable garden to help digest the food after dinner.
Everyone in the Tai family is hardworking, especially Tai Jizu, who is obsessed with farming.
As soon as the thaw began, he turned over and tidied up the vegetable garden at the back.
Even when rebuilding the yard at home, it did not delay the vegetable garden at all.
Today, the cabbage, spinach, coriander, radish, first crop of leeks, and tender green onions in the garden are planted in row after row, like neatly lined up soldiers.
It looks green from a distance and crisp and tender when you look at it up close, which is really pleasing to the eye.
Yang Lihua took a vegetable basket and took Mrs. Min to pick a few here and a few there. Finally, they cleaned them up and tied them neatly.
"Madam, we don't have anything good to give as a return gift. If you don't mind, you can take these vegetables you picked home and enjoy them fresh." Yang Lihua handed over the basket of vegetables.
Mrs. Min took it immediately and said with a smile, "Great! I have a farm at home, but this is my first time picking vegetables myself. I'll have these for dinner when I get back."
Miss Min and Zhuzhu were also running in the furrow, catching butterflies with a small net in their hands. They were also laughing loudly, and their laughter could be heard from far away...
Happy and relaxing times always pass quickly. As the sun was setting, Mrs. Min said goodbye and boarded the carriage home with her reluctant daughter.
Miss Min rarely disregarded the rules. She opened the car window and shouted to Zhuzhu, "Zhuzhu, wait until I come to play with you again!"
"Okay, little sister, I'll save the good things Zhuzhu got in the mountains for you!" Zhuzhu waved her chubby little hands, reluctant to part with them.
Mrs. Min found this amusing and said to Yang Lihua, "Lihua, it's not easy for us to come out. If you have time, you can bring Zhuzhu to our house more often."
"Okay, Madam, I'll definitely go when I have time." Yang Lihua agreed with a smile, but she couldn't say what she was thinking...
The carriage wheels rolled, and soon it left the village and rushed to the city.
The woman who was sitting under a big tree sewing shoe soles finally found an opportunity and came forward to chat.
"Sister-in-law, whose wife is this? She looks so well-dressed. She must be from a wealthy family, right?"
"Yes, that hairpin on your head is made of gold! Oh my god, one of them must have cost dozens of taels of silver!"
"And that young lady, her skirt is shining with gold..."
The women's eyes were full of gold and their faces were full of gossip. When they talked, they chattered so loudly that it gave me a headache.
Yang Lihua listened quietly. Seeing that the women had enjoyed themselves, she said, "That was Madam Min, the head of the Min family who we all went to work with earlier. She didn't have anything to do this time. The weather was nice, so she decided to just take a walk."
A woman, feeling itchy, whispered, "I see those maids and servants brought a lot of things. Has the eldest sister-in-law made a fortune again?"
Yang Lihua glanced at her and replied calmly, "Why would Madam Min send such a valuable gift for no reason? We are all peasants, so there is no need for us to curry favor with her.
"Mrs. Min brought two boxes of snacks for Zhuzhu. The package contained fabric and embroidery thread. She knew I was good at sewing, so she asked me to embroider a picture of Guanyin. I guess I'll be lucky to get three or five taels of silver in the end."
Three or five taels?
The women were all a little disappointed, not because they looked down on three or five taels of silver, but because they had just said in private that they thought the box and package were worth one or two hundred taels, which was a huge difference.
