Chapter 105: Will Hurt People (4th Update)
After the chicken stewed with mushrooms was ready, Jiang Zhiluo thought about her period.
It was raining that day and Mrs. Cui was not at home.
Cui Hejin braved the rain to go to Niu's house to borrow brown sugar, and Niu carefully wrapped two pieces of straw ash linen cloth in oil paper for her.
Very clean and easy to use.
This era is different from the technological era. Most farmers sew them out of linen stuffed with wood ash.
People who are better off use cotton and cotton cloth.
Niu's attentiveness also solved her urgent problem.
Although Cui Hejin went to the school and bought a few more pieces of brown sugar the next day and returned them, Jiang Zhiluo still felt that Niu's was good.
Cui Hejin took such good care of her, not letting her touch water, and said that these were some details that Niu had instructed her to do.
So Jiang Zhiluo thought about it, scooped up a bowl of soup, put a few chicken pieces and some mushrooms in it, and a full bowl of soup.
"Aunt Niu, it's me."
As soon as Mrs. Niu heard it, she recognized it as Jiang Zhiluo's voice.
She walked around the front wall and came to the door. When she saw Jiang Zhiluo, she was stunned.
"Zhiluo, what's the matter?"
Jiang Zhiluo opened the basket in her hand and took out the bowl of mushroom and chicken soup.
"Aunt Niu, my husband came to borrow something on the rainy day, and I haven't thanked you properly yet."
"I just happened to catch a pheasant at the foot of the mountain this afternoon and made some chicken soup. Send me a bowl."
Jiang Zhiluo was so polite that Niu felt embarrassed. "You are too polite."
"I didn't do anything. It's normal for neighbors to help each other. Look, you still remember it."
"Take the food back and eat it yourself. We've made dinner at home."
Although Niu wanted it in her heart, she knew that she shouldn't ask for anything, as everyone in the village was living a tight life.
This bowl of chicken soup contains both chicken chunks and mushrooms, all of which are good things. The Cui family may not be able to get enough of it.
Besides, she is thick-skinned and likes to talk about other people's affairs, but she doesn't like to take advantage of others.
Jiang Zhiluo insisted with a smile: "Aunt Niu, you can take it. It's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation."
"Besides, I might have to trouble you again Aunt Niu if I have any problems in the future."
"If you don't take it, we will be embarrassed."
When Jiang Zhiluo said this, Niu thought of her son and stopped being pretentious. "Then I won't be polite."
"If you have any problems in the future, just let us know. We're so close, we'll definitely help if we can."
Niu is also a straightforward person.
I am speaking from the heart.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Aunt Niu, too. If there's anything you need help with at home, please let us know."
The villagers are warm and sincere, and Jiang Zhiluo is also willing to show her kindness.
Mrs. Niu looked at Jiang Zhiluo and thought she was really good.
Ever since Jiang Zhiluo saved Old Mrs. Zhao last time, the villagers have had a good impression of her.
No longer believe some of the previous rumors.
The rumors before were not good.
It was said that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was a little stupid, and because the Jiang family had saved Old Madam Cui, they used some means to force Mr. Cui to marry her.
There are all kinds of rumors after all.
But after actually talking to Jiang Zhiluo, Niu felt that she was a really good girl.
Niu had a good impression of her and was willing to make more friends and visit her more often.
Niu seemed to recall something and said, "It was raining heavily that day. Your husband didn't even have an umbrella. He knocked on the door to borrow some brown sugar and his face turned red with embarrassment."
"I gave him some instructions on the details, and he listened patiently in the rain. It's obvious that he's a caring person."
"Don't look at some men as cold. As long as they love you and know your feelings, that's enough. Don't listen to what others say. Just live your life behind closed doors and make sure you feel good about it."
Mrs. Niu couldn't help but nag a few words, speaking to Jiang Zhiluo in the tone of someone who had experienced it.
Jiang Zhiluo thanked him with a smile.
Niu poured out the things and put two salted duck eggs in it for Jiang Zhiluo. Jiang Zhiluo took the bowl and went home.
After returning, Mrs. Cui asked, "Did you give the things?"
"Yes, I gave it to you."
"Your Aunt Niu may not be pleasant to the ear at times, but she's not malicious and is warm and cheerful."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
Mrs. Cui scooped out the mushroom stewed chicken from the pot and put it into a bowl, filling a large bowl with soup.
"It smells good, this chicken soup must be delicious."
Cui Hejin also took out the heated cornmeal buns.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at his cold figure, and thinking of what Niu said, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
He is really a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
The family sat at the dining table to eat. Mrs. Cui smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but scoop a spoonful of soup, blew it to her lips, and drank it without caring about the heat.
Mrs. Cui exclaimed: "This soup is indeed delicious."
“It’s very different from the chicken soup I’ve had before.”
"The bowl of chicken and mushroom stew your mother gave you on the day you came back was delicious, but today's chicken soup is the most delicious."
Jiang Zhiluo explained with a smile, "That day, my parents had limited seasonings at home, so the taste was just average."
“But today we have all the seasonings, so the taste will be more authentic.”
Mrs. Cui sighed, "I never knew that these things that can be used as spices can actually be used as seasonings."
I guess no one else would have thought of it.
But this seasoning is very expensive.
Fortunately, I only use a little each time I cook.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but look at Cui Hejin, not knowing what he thought of the taste.
She hoped he would enjoy it, too.
Cui Hejin first scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Jiang Zhiluo, "It's a little hot, drink it slowly."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin and said, "You drink too."
Cui Hejin met Jiang Zhiluo's gaze, a soft light tinging his eyes, "Okay."
Cui Hejin scooped a spoonful into his mouth and tasted it.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes became bright and she blinked her big eyes, as if asking him how it tasted.
Without Jiang Zhiluo saying anything, Cui Hejin understood the meaning of her eyes and said softly, "Mm, it tastes good."
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it tastes good, eat more and drink more soup."
This soup is very nutritious, and Jiang Zhiluo thinks it will also be good for Cui Hejin's health.
Cui Hejin said in a gentle and good-tempered voice, "Okay."
The whole family enjoyed the delicious food happily.
…
Niu's family
Niu's son Shanmao looked at the contents of the bowl with wide eyes, "Mom, is this really given by Aunt Jiang?"
Mrs. Niu looked at her son with amusement and said, "How could this be true? Now that we have meat to eat, please stop making trouble."
Shanmao jumped happily and followed Niu into the house.
"Mom, this smells so good! It's the same chicken soup, but why is it different from what we had before? It tastes different and looks different too."
He still remembers that during the Chinese New Year last year, his family killed a chicken and stewed soup. The taste and color were different.
This is so thick and smells so good.
Niu immediately realized what was happening and said, "That's true. It seems Jiang Zhiluo is really good at cooking."
“No wonder the cornmeal buns I made last night were more fragrant than others.”
"But for someone to send such a good thing to me, it means they have good intentions."
"The young master of the Cui family married a good wife!"
