Through the cultivation of tang pear leaves rouge color

Time seems to pass much faster with books. Song Li was reading "The Analects of Confucius", and while reading, he used his fingers to draw the strokes of the words on the quilt, which is easy to remember.

In the afternoon, Granny Li came to make medicine for him again, and brought him in for him to drink. Seeing him reading, she frowned, thinking that it was a bit inappropriate for a daughter-in-law in the countryside to read, but she didn't say any objection or warning. If it is, it can be regarded as more tolerant to Song Li.

Dong Wu came back in the evening, and he told Song Li about the fish pond, "The steward of the Dongxiang Building in the county town wants live grass carp from the fish pond to make raw fish, but he always thinks the fish is not fresh enough. He even asked the boy to come and see our fish pond." I had no choice but to go to the county seat to explain to him whether the fish were caught fresh every morning, which took a lot of time. However, there was no way around this, as such an hour’s journey would not be fresh enough, he If you want fresher fish, you can only open a restaurant by the fish pond."

Song Li didn't quite understand what he said, so he just listened intently, and then asked, "Yusheng? Do you eat fresh fish?"

Dong Wu laughed, "Is that so, you haven't eaten it before?"

Song Li didn't understand why Dong Wu asked such a question, but he had eaten fresh fish fillets, nodded and said, "I have, but I don't like it, it feels a bit fishy."

"To be a fisherman, you have to use freshly caught fish from the pond, and the fishing nets are not very good. The fish you want to catch should be cut up and eaten immediately while they are still alive. This is the best way. When you recover from illness Now, I cook it for you to eat, and you will know that it tastes good." Dong Wu said, and he wanted to ask Song Li if there was a pond at home when he was at home, and if there was a pond at home, he could eat it by himself. However, thinking that asking this question would undoubtedly remind Song Li of the past, he didn't ask.

When Dong Wu said that he wanted to make Yusheng for Song Li, he spoiled him very much. Song Li was infected by his tenderness, and replied with a smile, "That's good, let me try it."

Dong Wu went on to say, "This way of eating is more fashionable in the city, but people in the village don't eat it that way. It takes a lot of effort and wastes materials. I also secretly learned the method when delivering fish to several restaurants, and I haven't tried it yet." overdo it."

Song Li looked at Dong Wu and said with a smile, "Then if you cook it, I'll eat it, and I should reward you. After all, it's your first time doing it."

Song Li himself didn't realize that he was speaking in a tone that was aimed at very close people.Dong Wu was very happy to hear what he said, and said, "I'll go and learn from Master Dongxiang Louli again. It's also said in "The Analects of Confucius" that 'you can't get tired of eating, and you can't get tired of eating fine'. The thinner the fish is, the better it will be. Well, when the time comes, take a look at my knife skills, and I won't disappoint you."

Song Li looked at him with a smile, feeling happy getting along with Dong Wu.

Afterwards, he thought about it, and made a suggestion to Dong Wu, "I have an idea. You said that it is not impossible to open the restaurant by the fish pond. Anyone who wants to eat fresh fish can come to the fish pond by himself." Fishing, you can cook and eat it yourself, so that you can keep it delicious, and it’s fine to charge them a little fishing money. It’s better than the steward in the restaurant coming to you and saying that the fish is not fresh enough. It’s not easy for you , Those who eat fish also enjoy a good taste."

Song Li just talked about it casually, but he didn't expect Dong Wu to actually go to the restaurant to talk about it.

While sleeping, Song Li sat on the bed and hesitated to speak. Several times he wanted to talk about his going to live in the bedroom behind the kitchen, but he thought that if people found out that he and Dong Wu lived in a separate room, they should say Dong Wu Gossip, saying that Dong Wu's new wife can't control it, and that he will certainly not be able to gain a foothold in this village, so he hesitated for a while and finally couldn't say it.

Fortunately, Dong Wu did not do anything rude to him. Song Li got along with him for two days. Sleep in a bed.

After all, Song Li was still young, and his body recovered well. A few days later, when Dong Wu changed his dressing again, the scab on Song Li's forehead was already very obvious, and there was tender flesh underneath. When it grew out, Song Li didn't feel any pain on his forehead. On the contrary, he felt a little itchy because of the growing flesh. He told Dong Wu about it, and Dong Wu said happily, "This is a good thing. The itching means that the flesh on the wound is growing. It will be fine soon, but don't touch it, or you will get hurt."

Song Li was also very happy to hear that he could finally say goodbye to the gauze bandage.

When Song Li was in better health, he began to learn how to cook from Granny Li. When he offered to learn how to cook, Granny Li looked at him with contempt and said, "Didn't you never even enter the kitchen before?"

A woman who doesn't know how to cook will be despised by others.Not only the daughters of small families must have good cooking skills, but even the daughters of big families must know two special dishes, otherwise they will be considered incompetent when they go to the in-laws' home.

Song Li thought to himself that he could cook some meals in the past, and there were a lot of them. However, with natural gas, electric rice cookers, and ovens, he was really helpless in the face of ancient kitchens.

Seeing Song Li's embarrassing appearance, Granny Li finally stopped making things difficult for him and said, "Lighten the fire first! You can only cook when you know how to light the fire."

Song Li quickly expressed his opinion, "Oh, okay, fine."

Next to the kitchen there is another door, which leads not to the storeroom at the back, but to the woodshed and latrine next to it.

Minyang County, where Dayao Village is located, has a lot of water, a lot of river beaches, and a lot of willows and reeds. Most of the firewood burned here is willow branches and reeds. The pine and cypress branches brought from afar are only burned when cooking, and in the countryside, there is only one or two opportunities to burn the pine and cypress branches on the mountain once a year. , a relatively well-to-do family will do.

Most of Dong Wu's firewood house is reed firewood, and some firewood.

Song Li came out with the reeds from the firewood room, and just put the reeds into the stove when he felt a pain in his hand. When he picked it up to look, he found that his fingers had been cut several times by the reeds, two of which were bleeding .This made him frown involuntarily.He really didn't know that his body was so delicate that it could be cut so easily.

Coincidentally, Dong Wu came back at this time. He should have gone to the bedroom first to see if Song Li was not there, so he went into the kitchen and asked Granny Li, "Where did Song Li go?"

The first thing Dong Wu does when he comes home every day must be to care about where Song Li is. Granny Li has only seen one person who loves his wife so much, and that is Dong Wu's father, so she is also surprised by Dong Wu's behavior. No wonder, and said, "She said she wanted to learn how to cook, I asked her to light the fire, it's in the back room."

The kitchen in Dong Wu's house is a relatively "advanced" design. The burner is at the back of the house and not in the kitchen. This can not only block smoke and firewood ash, but also reduce the probability of fire.

Dong Wu walked to the burning shed behind and saw Song Li was frowning and looking at the wound on his hand. His left middle finger and ring finger were bleeding. Dong Wu was startled, walked up to him, and asked with concern, "Why?" bleeding?"

Song Li glanced at him, and said a little dejectedly, "I was cut by this firewood, it's not a serious injury, it's okay."

Dong Wu took his hand, and put his injured finger into his mouth without thinking, Song Li was stunned for a moment, the wet and warm feeling of his finger being licked by his tongue made his back go numb Ma, blushing instantly, reminded Dong Wudao in a low voice, "Let go of me first."

Dong Wu sucked the blood from his finger before letting go. His expression was serious and serious. Song Li originally felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. Seeing Dong Wu so upright and solemn now, it seemed that he had cut his finger. He did something wrong, so Song Li was ashamed to be ashamed.

Dong Wu saw that Song Li's fingers were no longer bleeding, so he let go of him, and tore off a few thatch sticks from Song Li's clothes, and said, "I'll light the fire, you can sit beside me. I'll hold firewood later." , wrap your hands with cloth strips, and don’t cut your mouth again.”

In the kitchen, there was the sound of Granny Li chopping vegetables, which was very regular.

Song Li stood aside, watching Dong Wu start the fire, and then thought it was quite simple, and wanted to try it himself, but was stopped by Dong Wu, saying, "Don't cut your hand again, you go into the house Ask your mother-in-law what she wants you to do!"

Song Li went into the kitchen, and Granny Li asked him to cut tofu. This Song Li was quite good at it, and he quickly completed the task. Granny Li saw that he cut the tofu cubes neatly, and praised him, "You cut vegetables! The workmanship is alright."

As the pot heated up, Song Li watched Granny Li start cooking methodically. She cooked melons and vegetables, made a bowl of bacon, roasted a kind of white melon, and made a sauerkraut tofu soup.

That's it for this lunch.

Every meal Song Li eats here is very simple, but the dishes here are natural and pollution-free, and they are freshly picked from the vegetable field, so they are delicious even if they are simply fried like this .However, Song Li felt that after he knew how to use the kitchen here, he could cook some special dishes for Dong Wu to taste his skills.

Because of Dong Wu's invitation, Granny Li also called her daughter over for dinner. This was the first time Song Li met Granny Li's daughter, Li Chunying.

She followed Granny Li into the room, wearing a simple coarse cloth dress, with low eyebrows, because she hadn't been in the sun much, her skin was very fair, and her face was somewhat pockmarked. She didn't look like Granny Li, according to Song Li's aesthetics is still a good-looking woman.

She saluted Dong Wufu, and then looked at Song Li. When she saw Song Li, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she didn't dare to look any more, as if she blushed a little.

Song Li said to her, "Sister Chunying, sit down."

She was very reserved and kept silent.

This time, the meal was eaten on the big table in the main room, and a bowl of egg custard steamed with the rice was placed in front of Song Li. , Let Granny Li and Chunying eat more vegetables.

The afternoon sun leaves shadows under the eaves outside the threshold, the room is very bright, cicadas are calling from time to time on the tall peach tree outside the house, and the sound of chewing food is heard in the room, bringing a kind of peace and warmth of life.

Song Li looked at Chunying, who was eating with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and gave Chunying half a bowl of steamed eggs in the bowl, and said, "Sister Chunying, you eat."

Chunying waved her hand and said no, her expression flustered, Dong Wu hurriedly said, "Sister Ying, you can eat, don't be polite to Song Li."

After Chunying ate, Granny Li looked at Song Li with a softer gaze.Thinking about getting along these days, she also changed her view of Song Li a little.

Granny Li must have been very concerned about Song Li marrying Dong Wu and begging to die against a wall. She has always had a bad impression of Song Li. Moreover, Song Li's skin is as white as fat, and his hands are callous-free. It's real, and Song Li also has a pair of big peach blossom eyes, and he is affectionate even when he doesn't smile. When he smiles, he is even more provocative, and the impression he gives her is even more charming. Of course, she can't like it even more. But these days Song Li is willing to do things, and she is gentle, doesn't talk much, and never contradicts her words, is very submissive, and gets along well with Dong Wu, which made her like him a little bit.

After lunch, Granny Li and Chunying cleaned up the table and kitchen and left.

Dong Wu went to close the gate of the courtyard, and then covered the gate of the main room.

Sitting in the bedroom, Song Li asked Dong Wu, "Is there something wrong with Miss Chunying?"

Song Li felt that the woman was too reserved, as if she was afraid of seeing outsiders.

Dong Wu replied, "She used to be scolded by her in-laws a lot at her in-laws' house, so she was very evasive, maybe seeing more people would be better, but Granny Li doesn't let her see more people, she doesn't want to go out, there is no way. "

Thinking of her being a very gentle and gentle woman, Song Li felt sorry for her, sighed regretfully, and said, "In the future, we can let her come to our house for dinner more often, and I would like to talk to her."

Song Li casually said "our family", which stunned Dong Wu, and then he put on a smile. He looked at Song Li who was holding a book, his eyes were full of tenderness and happiness.

"Okay, let her come to our house for dinner often in the future."
