Chapter 27: Brain Circuit Convinced
Zhulan didn't return to the yard until the ox cart had gone far away. She felt relieved and her face looked better. Knowing that Wuchun couldn't leave, she thought about what to cook in the evening.
He counted out twenty copper coins from his purse and said, "Go to Sun the butcher and buy a pound of pork belly. If there are pig's trotters, buy two more. If there are no pig's trotters, buy all meat."
Li had just raised her mother-in-law's status to the top, so she naturally didn't dare to criticize her mother-in-law's words. When she said she would buy meat for everyone to eat, she wouldn't be stupid enough to ask, "Okay, mother."
Because Zhoujia Village is a large village with a dozen or so residents in the area, and it is also the gathering place of the Zhou family. Twenty years ago, two-thirds of the people were surnamed Zhou. At the end of the dynasty and due to the war, many more people came to settle in Zhoujia Village, and the number of surnames increased.
Therefore, there are many peddlers walking around the streets of Zhoujia Village, and the village is well-equipped. There are butchers selling meat, but the price is half a cent per pound more expensive than in the county town. However, one needs to take a ox cart to go to the city, so those who buy one or two pounds of meat buy it in the village.
There is also a tofu shop in the village. Yes, it is a tofu shop. Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancient people. Tofu has existed since the Han Dynasty.
Zhulan has some glutinous tofu and soy milk. A cup of soy milk every day is very good for health.
Li came back quickly, with a happy face, "Mom, there are pig's trotters today."
Zhulan swallowed her saliva. She was eating the pork trotters with lotus sauce. "Okay, okay, I'll stew the pork trotters tonight. You clean up first."
Li was not stupid. She knew Yang Wuchun would not leave after seeing this. "Mom, how do we cook the pork belly?"
Zhulan wanted to eat stir-fried pork with peppers, but she was worried about her grandchildren at home. The children were too young. "Stew pork belly with potatoes, and cut the meat into smaller pieces."
Li planned to put more potatoes so that she could eat more. "Where's the old hen?"
"I have a big clay pot at home. I stew half of the hen in chicken soup and chop the other half. I stewed mushrooms with them a few days ago. I just need to stir-fry some cabbage. By the way, cut off the chicken fat and save it."
Li's mouth was watering. Today they had to prepare the New Year dishes. She felt a little sad, but she felt more balanced when she thought of the big bundle of cloth. "Okay, mother."
"For the main course, I take half a bowl of noodles and mix it with cornmeal to make steamed cornmeal buns."
"good."
Zhulan was not being extravagant, because there was really a lot of food in the food room. After the war, people not only loved money, but also loved food. People who had experienced hunger all had hamster characteristics.
The original body was just used to keeping a low profile, which is why he felt that there was enough food at home.
In fact, it is not realistic to eat rice and flour in the granary every day, but eating dry food twice a month is completely fine, as they are all hidden well by the original body, not to mention cornmeal.
The original body was not very smart, but had saved up little by little over the years. When he had new things, he ate the old ones, so he was not stupid enough not to spoil them.
Zhulan came out with the flour. The children had finished their meal and called Zhao, "Clean the table and wash the dishes. Come over and help me cut the fabric later."
Zhulan really didn't want to look for Zhao, but Li was too busy to find time. She only had the original body's memory and didn't have the original body's craftsmanship. She couldn't estimate the sizes of adults and children. She was afraid that the filling would show if she cut it herself, so she had to look for Zhao.
Speaking of the two daughters-in-law, regardless of their faults, they are both talented. The eldest is a good cook, and the second is good at needlework and embroidery. It is said that she learned it from her deceased mother, but she fled before she had time to learn it.
I can make clothes, but I can't embroider. Don't expect a martial artist to hold an embroidery needle.
Zhao responded cheerfully, her brows no longer drooping. She thought to herself that her mother loved her and had never needed her help before. She couldn't help but redden her eyes and wanted to cry!
Zhulan didn't know that she almost made the second son's wife cry again. She was looking at the bundle in a panic. It was too much. She was a modern person and had no idea how to make clothes, but she had an idea of quantity. These piles of cloth were probably enough for the whole family to buy new clothes.
Zhao came over quickly, and the mosquito moved, "Mom."
Zhulan sorted the fabrics by color. "There's a lot of fabric sent here. You can cut it out according to the size of the children's clothes."
Zhao quickly cut the hair of the three children in the first house, and hesitated to pick up the scissors again. Zhulan knew what Zhao was thinking, and she was angry. She was not a partial person, so why did she become an evil grandmother in Zhao's heart? Look around the villages, the granddaughters in the family are really enjoying themselves, especially the eldest granddaughter Yushuang, who has no clothes to pick up, and her clothes really can't be patched. She took a breath and said in a bad tone, "Hurry up and cut it, what are you doing?"
Zhao was not afraid, but rather very happy.
Zhulan, "......."
She was completely convinced by Zhao's way of thinking!
