Chapter 4
Su Jin loves to eat meat very much, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat it for a meal.
The Su family in Yangzhou is quite well-off, and they get chicken, duck, fish and shrimp every now and then. But Su Jin is a pitiful little girl whose parents die. Grandpa and grandparents don’t care about it, and their uncles and aunts are even more harsh. Every time the family cooks good dishes, a group of people don’t let Su Jin serve them, and they only give Su Jin leftovers, without leaving any meat.
The more I couldn't eat, the more I thought about it. After so many years of greed, I got rich after marrying Feng Shi. Su Jin started eating meat every meal, making himself bulging and tenderer than tofu. Feng Shi was so red that his face was full of muscles and worked harder. Little Archer was also white and fat. The family of three was like the big white buns in the pot, extremely moist.
Unfortunately, after leaving a long door, Su Jin was so thin that a man could pinch his waist with both hands. Archer, who had suffered from serious illnesses, became even more skinny.
Therefore, Su Jin paid out of his own pocket and bought twenty kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of pork ribs, ten pig's trotters, ten chickens, plus rice, flour, cabbage, and various utensils for selling buns in one go, and spent no more than two taels of silver.
Su Jin and Aunt Liu must not be able to carry so many things, so she asked the shops to deliver them to Qianhu Mansion one after another. The guards at the gate were excited to see the pork ribs, and their throats rolled and their eyes shone. The Qianhu Mansion was living too hard. Unless they were hunting wild game, the only meat in the entire mansion was the living people.
The shop went back first. When Su Jin and Aunt Liu came back, a relatively slick guard asked Aunt Liu with a smile: "Sir, have you got a happy event?"
Aunt Liu nodded at Su Jinnu and said with a smile: "That was bought by Archer's mother."
The guards were both surprised by Su Jin's big moves and disappointed that they had no meat to eat. The Qianhuo family was generous and everyone had meat to eat together. Feng Shi and his wife would definitely not distinguish them.
Su Jin smiled and said, "We came from afar, and we will rely on the military men to help you in the future. We will add food to the afternoon!"
The two guards immediately grinned and called Su Jin a sister-in-law.
Su Jin is very comfortable, and it is worth it to exchange for good popularity with some meat.
At noon, Su Jin personally cooked three dishes, a dish of fried pork belly with cabbage, a dish of shredded pork eggs, and a pot of fragrant pork rib soup. The ingredients were all very sufficient. The mother and aunt Liu and her daughter ate it together. Then they gave it to Uncle Liu, Agui and the two guards in the front yard. Xiao Zhen and Feng Shi were going to come back in the evening.
"Eat more Archer." At the dinner table, Su Jin added dishes to his son.
Archer took the bowl and avoided: "Sheep, I still have it here."
Su Jin saw that there was indeed a large piece of pork ribs in his son's bowl, so he gave up.
"Arche also eats some eggs." The beautiful and delicate boy, Chuntao couldn't help but want to be more familiar with Archer, and picked up a piece of fried fresh yellow egg and handed it over.
Archer raised his eyes.
Chuntao smiled a little shyly, her eyes clear and simple.
Archer pursed his lips and stretched out the bowl to pick it up.
Chuntao was very happy. Su Jin looked at her son and felt very relieved. She hoped that her son would understand that there are villains in the world who enjoy laughing at others, and there are also good people with pure hearts.
After dinner, Chuntao invited Archer to see the two rabbits she raised. Archer looked at his mother before nodding.
Su Jin knew very well that his son did not like to watch rabbits, but did not refuse the enthusiastic Chuntao out of politeness. No matter what, Su Jin was satisfied if his son was willing to contact others.
When the children went to play, Su Jin called Agui and took advantage of the warmer sun at noon to prepare for tomorrow morning buns. Agui is also from Yangzhou. He is sixteen years younger than Su Jin. He was originally a lonely little beggar. Su Jin knew him before he got married. He often stole the buns for Agui on his back. Later, Su Jin set up his own business and lacked a helper, so he called Agui and asked if Agui would like to fuck her.
Of course Agui was willing, a young man like a thin monkey, washed his face and changed his clothes. After raising him for a month, his face was a little fleshy, and he looked quite pretty. Too Jili, Su Jin changed his name to Agui. Agui did not disappoint the expectations of his benefactor and learned to make buns with Su Jin. Now his skills are comparable to Su Jin. If Agui hadn't been able to do it, Su Jin wouldn't have made so many buns a day unless he was busy.
Su Jinxin bought a chopping board, she cut cabbage and chopped meat. After all, she was a man. The sixteen-year-old Agui is more energetic than Su Jin.
When Aunt Liu washed her entire house clothes, she saw that the filling was about to be full of stuffing in the basin. Su Jin and Agui sat face to face, lowering his head to pinch the buns. The speed was very fast, and it only took one at a time, and it looked very good. The two large pots in the stove were boiling water, steaming the buns with meat and vegetables while steaming the buns with vegetable filling.
"My grandma Jin, how many are you going to pinch in this posture?" Aunt Liu asked in amazement.
Su Jin smiled: "Make five hundred first."
Su Jin has a surprise discovery these days that it is also beneficial to cold weather in the north. She can make buns during the day. After steaming, she will be connected to the steamer and put them out. Soon the buns will be frozen into ice. They will be sold immediately after steaming for a while the next day. In the winter of Yangzhou is warm, this method will not work. You must get up in the dark early in the morning to make the filling fresh.
I made 500 buns today and couldn’t sell them all tomorrow, and the frozen buns wouldn’t break even.
Based on this alone, Su Jin decided not to dislike the coldness of the north.
The firewood was burning in the stove, the kitchen was warm, and a tray of buns was out of the pot. Put it for a while and then brought to the empty West Wing room. The West Wing room did not have a kang, and the doors and windows were as cold as outside. In the blink of an eye, the buns were frozen and grabbed and could kill someone.
This is all money, Su Jin is very busy.
After finishing the five hundred buns, the sun is about to go down the mountain.
Su Jin asked Aunt Liu to roll the noodles to make noodles. She cleaned up an old hen, chopped it into large pieces and threw it into the pot, and made soup.
It was windy in the evening, and the fragrance of Qianhu Mansion drifted away with the wind, and you could smell it at the front gate.
Feng Shi sniffed and said to Xiao Zhen while getting off the horse: "It must be Jin Niang making chicken soup!"
Xiao Zhen gave the reins to the guards with expressionless expression. Since Feng Shi didn't mind Archer's life experience and did not dislike Su Jin and another man who had been pregnant before marriage, Xiao Zhen would not say anything more. But he still had many dissatisfaction with Su Jin, such as Su Jin did not serve Feng Shi but instead treated Feng Shi as a slave. For example, Feng Shi saved some money by saving money, and Su Jin bought chicken stew soup when he came, but didn't know how to be frugal.
All Su Jin's performance is contrary to Xiao Zhen's good woman and wife.
"Sir, you are back. You can rest first, and then you can set up your meal in a quarter of an hour." Aunt Liu was responsible for burning the fire. Su Jin heard Feng Shi's loud voice and walked to the kitchen door with a smile and greeted.
Xiao Zhen nodded in front of him and didn't look over there.
Aunt Liu suddenly ran over and asked Xiao Zhen: "Sir, why don't you eat with Feng Shi and the others? It's so lively and delicious."
Xiao Zhen is a person who does not care about rules. Before Su Jin and his wife came, he had dinner with Feng Shi. The two were really brothers and had no airs in front of the servants. Otherwise, Aunt Liu would not dare to persuade him? Of course, Aunt Liu was mainly to save trouble for himself, so as not to clean up Xiao Zhen’s table, and then go to the east wing to clean up Feng’s family, or to tiring Su Jin to help.
"Yes, yes, let's have a meal with the adults." Feng Shi immediately agreed to Aunt Liu, thinking that the adults invited him to his deskmate, but he said it was not appropriate, so Xiao Zhen persuaded him on the grounds of having a meal alone. Now that his wife comes, he leaves the adults, and his family of three laughs and laughs. The adults listen alone, which must be unpleasant.
Feng Shi suddenly felt very sorry for his adult!
The short blacksmith leaned his head, looked at Xiao Zhen with guilt and pity, waiting for him to answer.
Xiao Zhen could not refuse such sincere and enthusiastic eyes.
"good."
Feng Shi happily turned his head and smiled at his wife at the kitchen door.
Su Jin was very happy. Xiao Zhen was so approachable. He shouldn't blame her for borrowing the kitchen and west wing of Qianhu Mansion?
The meal was ready, Aunt Liu carried a large basin and Su Jin brought the bowls and chopsticks into the main hall.
There was a tung oil lamp in the main hall. The light was dim and the square pear wooden table. Xiao Zhen sat upright on the north side, Feng Shi sat on the east side, Archer sat on the west side, and the five-year-old boy was very thin and thin by two strong men.
"I'm upset." After putting the bowl, Su Jin was flattered and said to Xiao Zhenfu.
Xiao Zhen looked at Feng Shi and said, "You have to be polite with your brother and sister."
Su Jin smiled cautiously, grabbed a big sea bowl, and first gave Xiao Zhen the noodles. The noodles were smooth and the chicken soup was fragrant. Despite Xiao Zhen's opposition, Su Jin took both chicken legs into Xiao Zhen's bowl, and the soup almost overflowed. Then he carefully held the bowl and put it in front of Xiao Zhen: "Thank you, sir, please eat more."
Feng Shixue’s wife: “Yes, adults eat more.”
Xiao Zhen remained motionless.
The man's face was cold and Su Jin couldn't understand what he meant. He continued to serve noodles for the family of three. Feng Shi had the most meat in the bowl, followed by Archer.
Xiao Zhen saw it and thought to himself that there is such a mother in the world who doesn’t love children.
With a calm face, Xiao Zhen put one of his chicken legs into Archer's bowl and said in the tone of an elder: "Acher eats more meat and grows strong."
At noon, Archer was forced to eat a lot of ribs by his mother. At this moment, he saw that the meat was so delicious that he suddenly had multiple chicken legs. The boy looked at his mother with help.
Su Jin winked at his son.
Archer then put the chicken legs back into Xiao Zhen's bowl, hung his thick eyelashes and said, "I can't eat it, sir."
This way, Xiao Zhen's eyes became a boy who did not dare to eat it due to the threat of his mother. He was even more unhappy and gave Archer the chicken legs again: "If you want to eat, you can eat it, you have to be welcome."
The man's voice implicitly anger, and he was the official again. Archer was afraid, so he took the bowl back with his little face, picked up the chopsticks and wanted to eat it.
Su Jin didn't understand what the Qianhu was getting angry. Under the table, she secretly kicked Feng Shi.
Feng Shi was used to being called by his wife. When he saw that his wife was winking, he understood what it meant. He hurriedly put Archer's chicken legs into his bowl and explained to Xiao Zhen with a smile: "Sir, Archer is young, and eating too much meat at night can easily cause stomachache. The doctor said it personally, so Jinniang didn't dare to let him eat more before going to bed. Since you don't want it, then I'll be cheaper for this chicken legs, hehehe."
Xiao Zhen was skeptical and looked at Archer and served a bowl of noodles.
Feng Shi's voice was always very loud when he was eating. Su Jin couldn't change it after he advised him many times, so he simply stopped caring about it and just told his son not to imitate his father.
Xiao Zhen is a martial artist. When he was a child, he ate like Feng Shi, so his meals were also rumbling.
Archer heard it and for some reason, he quietly turned his head to look at his mother.
Su Jin and his son looked at each other, and the mother and the mother were tacitly thinking about the same thing: there is no difference between the adults of Qianhu and ordinary people.
Once a person has shortcomings, he will not be so majestic and terrible.
Su Jin showed a smile on her face. Archer looked much more relaxed by eating noodles as handsomely as his mother.
But Xiao Zhen and Feng Shi are still different. He ate so because no one taught him, because after joining the army, the group of men around him ate like this. It can be said that it was the first time he knew tonight that there was another posture for eating, a better-looking and decent posture. Su Jin and his son were a sharp contrast with Feng Shi.
Before we knew it, there were only one left on the dining table with two sucking noodles.
Su Jin unexpectedly glanced at the man diagonally opposite.
Xiao Zhen chewed the face without changing his expression, and Feng Shi next to him was still swaying.
Su Jin sighed inwardly that it is indeed different for those who can be a thousand households.
The author has something to say:
Archer: I look down on anyone, you are as rustic as my father.
Su Jin: That's it.
Feng Shi: Who is the rustic? Are you talking about me?
