Chapter 110 Everyone goes out
After eating and drinking, everyone went home and continued busy with their own work.
Wei Meili stood in the yard drying honeysuckle and mulberry leaves, sharing what she had eaten for lunch with Aunt Wang in the next yard through the fence.
Listening to Wei Meimei's food, Aunt Wang was surprised: "When did your mother-in-law become so generous?"
"Oh, where are they? The pork belly was prepared and brought by our family, and the dumplings were prepared and brought by my third brother and sister's family. My mother-in-law and the others prepared five plates of cabbage and radish and a bowl of chicken soup.
Oh, this chicken soup, the kind where the legs have been eaten in advance."
Listening to what Wei Meili said, Aunt Wang burst into laughter, nodded, and said: "This is just like your mother-in-law's style. But your mother-in-law didn't intend to use this old hen soup to entertain you, right?"
But let’s not talk about it. Everyone in this village has been living with each other for decades, and no one knows who the other is?
With Zhang's style, anyone with a clear mind can hear the meaning of Wei Meili's words, and combined with Mrs. Zhang's usual style, it is obvious.
Aunt Wang looked at Wei Meiliang inquiringly, and Wei Meiliang also smiled and nodded, without saying anything bad.
If she talks too much, it's more like she chews the back of her mother-in-law's tongue on purpose.
When Aunt Wang saw this, she laughed several times. When Wei Meili saw this, she couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, is there any happy event recently? She seems to be in a particularly good mood today."
"Shhh-" Aunt Wang suddenly made a silent gesture, looked around and saw no one around, and then whispered with a smile, "I have a daughter-in-law!"
"Really?"
"Speak quietly, it's not even three months old yet! I found it yesterday when I went to my in-laws' place. Her in-laws' mother was happy, so she brought back a lot of food for my daughter-in-law."
"Oh, our candy cake this morning was also stained with green flowers, which is a happy event!"
"Oh, don't say it's anyone's fault. That snack you made is good. My in-laws are not good at anything except the sweet ones. That snack you made, oh, don't say it's just right for their family!"
After hearing this, Wei Meili was modest and fiddled with the honeysuckle and mulberry leaves in the dustpan. Aunt Wang saw it and said, "I won't mention it anymore. I heard that your family is going to make tea drinks and sell them? Are you planning to do so?"
Where can I buy it? In town?"
Wei Meili shook her head and said: "We have been to that tea stall in the town several times. Its reputation and popularity are really good. Even if we open it, we will probably earn a lot of hard money at most."
"Hey, what should we do? How about changing to another town? I tried the tea you made last time and it tasted really good. Don't waste it if you have the recipe and skill."
Aunt Wang was telling the truth. After being in contact with him for so long, she could tell early on that this Erniu family member had a talent for cooking.
"Oh, what kind of town should I change? Didn't I think of a new place again?"
"Where is it?"
"The wharf! It's the wharf where Big Fire Brother works. Our tea is meant to cool down the heat. I think Big Fire Brother and the others are working on the wharf in the summer, so if they come here to have a cup like this..."
"Oh, that's great!"
Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "That place is indeed awkward and not close to the town, but if you ask people on the dock to go to the town to eat and drink, they won't like it.
Besides, you have a wild donkey at home, and if you bring a few barrels of tea, you will be sure to be popular! I will definitely let the fire and wood take care of your business."
Hearing what Aunt Wang said, Wei Meili also laughed.
"At that time, we will have to rely on Brother Huo to take care of the business~"
While the two were chatting, Mei Berry and Mei You were packing the goat milk soap they had made in the cave.
Meiberry packed up the pieces of soap she had made, and took one of the palm-sized pieces of goat milk soap and looked at it again and again at the sun, and she suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
Compared with the most basic earthen soap I made at the beginning, the quality is much higher.
Just the delicate feel of plumberry is far different from the original rough earth soap.
Today's goat milk soap, when viewed in the sun, is as crystal clear and moist as mutton fat jade.
If you smell it carefully, there is a milky smell that is not unpleasant.
"My dad said we would go to the county tomorrow. Have you told your third uncle?"
"Okay, I'll tell my dad tonight that I'll go to the county with you tomorrow. My dad won't object."
Mei You responded to the time Mei Pei had set and asked again, "By the way, what did you go to the county for yesterday? I heard from my mother this morning that your family also went to the county yesterday."
"Ah, didn't my dad hear you say you were going to the county? He was itchy and wanted to go and have a look in advance."
Don't listen to what Mei Berry said. It's not reliable, but after getting to know her, it's really like what Mei Berry's father can do.
“How is Jinbai County?”
"To be honest, it's very prosperous. If you haven't seen the market that stretches for several miles at the pier outside the city, you'll think you've entered the city when you get off the boat! They say that Jinbai County and Yunzhou City are already as prosperous as each other.
All the goods coming and going from the South to the North are there, you can’t even see them!
Oops, if it weren’t for the little money I earned, my father and I would have brought back everything we saw!”
Hearing Mei Bei's description, Mei You couldn't help but feel better. She promised to Mei Bei's envious face: "Don't worry, you can buy a lot of things this time."
"Um!"
Mei Mei nodded again and again, thinking about the thousand kilograms of grain she bought yesterday. She rolled her eyes, smiled at Mei You, and said: "Sister, after we have made the soap tomorrow, do you want to go shopping? I also want to buy...
…”
Mei Mei wrote an 800-word essay about what she wanted to buy in one breath, and Mei You was shocked when she heard it!
After talking about half a stick of incense, Mei Berry looked at Mei You with her bright eyes and asked: "Sister, do you want to go shopping with me?"
"No."
Just as Mei Qian thought, Mei You refused very simply.
She has no interest in going shopping, let alone shopping_(:3 ∠)_
"ah……"
Mei Qian felt sad (^-^)V in her heart, but she still had to feel disappointed on her face.
"Then I'll ask my dad to come with me. My dad can still help me carry things~"
Mei You: "..."
So when Mei Berry took her shopping together, he probably wanted her to help carry things, right?
***
Mei's old house,
"What is mom doing?"
After lunch, Mrs. Jiang washed the pots and dishes and went back to her room to lie down.
She was lying on the kang, and Mei Dahu who entered the house from outside had not yet closed the door. Jiang naturally heard her mother-in-law's cursing coming in from outside the door.
It’s just that the pot of old hen soup at noon really didn’t have any left.
After scolding the second bedroom, scold the third bedroom; when the third bedroom has finished scolding him, he may blame himself.
I blame myself for actually serving the whole pot of chicken soup.
It's just the difference between scolding in person and not scolding in person. Jiang chose to be lazy and was scolded behind her back by her mother-in-law.
"Did dad have something to do with you just now?"
After lunch, Mr. Mei specially chatted with Mei Dahu for a while. Seeing that Mei Dahu was back, Jiang asked one more question out of curiosity.
"Dad said he would take me to the temple in the county to worship him tomorrow."
"Ah?" Mr. Jiang sat up and asked, "Why did Dad get up to worship Buddha?"
Mei Dahu shook his head and said he didn't know either.
"When I was a kid, I heard my grandma say that my dad really believed in Buddhism and had to find time to pay homage every year. Later...it seemed like he didn't go there very much."
"why?"
"How do I know?" Mei Dahu glared at his curious mother-in-law, but Jiang said quite seriously this time: "I heard from my mother that people who have not worshiped Buddha all year round must have something to do with their sudden visit.
beg.
Dad went here this time and took you there specially, does it have anything to do with you?"
As soon as these words came out, Mei Dahu also began to beat his heart...
