Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

After getting these gold and silver bracelets from the Ming family, Ming Rou has mixed feelings in her heart.

At first glance, these things are many familiar objects in the mother's house. After entanglement, they are gradually relieved. If these things are not useful, they are just dead things left there.

Mingrou finally lets go of the reluctance in her heart, and asks Ye Qiuniang to exchange it for money.

What she didn't know was that these gold and silver jewelry were just secretly hidden by Ye Qiuniang, and they gave her money from Zhuangzi.

In the end, these jewelry were exchanged for 50 taels of silver, and Mingrou took the silver and began to plan carefully.

Now there is only one bedroom and one stove in the house. Although Zhong Tiantian's side is spacious, but there are many people in the house, it is not as convenient as his side, so Mingrou plans to build another room in the yard as a workshop. It is specially used to prepare and produce these mouth fats.

Ye Qiuniang fully supports Ming Rou's decision to start the lip gloss business. She is young, and now the two depend on each other for life, and Ye Qiuniang is so much older, so no matter what she does, it is natural to ask for her opinion.

The night after Xu Qionghua left, Ming Rou solemnly told Ye Qiuniang about her plan.

Originally, at the beginning, she really wanted to wait for the scholars from Tongzhuang to come back, and then go there to ask for a job that suits her, but since she and Zhong Tiantian made such a good-looking lip balm, she gave up before. Ming Rou grew up beside the old master Ming, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes, and she has had some contact with business matters. Now that the opportunity comes, how can she let it slip away from her hands.

From the collection of lip balm raw materials, to processing and production, to the way to sell it, I broke it down bit by bit and told Ye Qiuniang.

In Mingrou's mind, Ye Qiuniang has always followed her to take care of herself, doing the work of a big maid, and was later assigned to Zhuangzi to do farm work. Although she felt that Ye Qiuniang might not understand it, it did not prevent her from making plans. Tell her, and draw another blueprint by the way.

The two sat on the bench in the yard and talked until late at night. After Mingrou finished speaking, she gradually began to feel sleepy. She lay on the bench, pillowed on Ye Qiuniang's lap, and said in a daze, "Jiujiu, I will talk to you in the future." After Zhizhi’s business starts, maybe we can still live in a big house like the Ming’s before, and I will be the eldest in the family, and no one can bully you anymore..."

Leaning on the back of the chair, Ye Qiuniang looked down at her fair little face illuminated by the night, and slid her fingertips along her temples and forehead, stroking her little by little until she fell into a deep sleep.

Since that day, the plan has been set, and everything has started to be put on the agenda.

The construction of a small workshop is imperative, so ten taels of silver were used to build a new workshop.

In addition, five taels of silver were spent to repair the old house to avoid wind and rain. At that time, the house would not be able to shelter from the wind and rain, and there would not even be a shelter.

When building the house, Atao almost regarded their house as his own, and was extremely diligent, arriving at dawn.

Ming Rou couldn't help joking: "Brother Atao, you came so early, you are more dedicated than your own family."

"Of course, I will do my best for Qiuniang's family."

A Tao smiled harmlessly to humans and animals. Although Ming Rou was puzzled by his enthusiasm, A Tao's magnanimity forced Ming Rou to dispel all worries.

After the workshop was completed, the house was also repaired, and Ming Rou soon celebrated her 14th birthday.

Ye Qiuniang woke up early in the morning to prepare food, and earlier invited Mingrou and a few of her friends who had a good time to come to her house for dinner to celebrate her birthday.

Xu Qionghua lives far away, so the meal time is arranged at noon.

After coming for the first time, knowing Mingrou's situation, Xu Qionghua came here several times, but he didn't hug like before, so he brought a coachman and a little maid to follow.

Although every time I come here, I don't like this or that, but every time I bring some things that Mingrou just can use.

Ming Rou used to have the same temper as hers, she had the coquettish temper of a daughter of a thousand gold, she was more or less arrogant, but after going through this short period of more than half a year, her temper has settled a lot, although she is still the same arrogant and petite , but he is no longer indiscriminate and impulsive like before. Compared with Xu Qionghua and Xu Qionghua, he is much more mature now.

Now that he has the money from the Ming family, Ye Qiuniang can finally buy it for Ming Rou blatantly. Of course, in the countryside, everything is naturally kept simple.

The two first arrived in Tongzhuang for more than half a year, and there was nothing at home, and the vegetables they planted had just grown, so they bought a chicken with Zhong Tiantian's family, and asked Atao to go to the town to cut three or four catties of meat. In addition, I went down to the canal yesterday and caught a big fish weighing two catties, and the ingredients for a meal were quickly prepared.

The old hen is stewed directly with the wild mushrooms picked from the mountain, and it is very delicious with sliced ​​ginger.

The pork is divided into two halves, one half is boiled and sliced ​​and fried with sugar granules to make sugar meat, which is Mingrou's favorite dish, and the other half is used to fry beans, which are delicious and very tempting.

The big fish is braised in soy sauce. Sprinkle some chopped green onion and pour some hot oil before serving. Just smelling the smell makes people salivate. A plate of green vegetables is fried, and the radish pickled a few days ago is made into side dishes, appetizing and delicious. tasty.

The Zhong family was naturally invited, but seeing that they were a group of half-grown children, Zhong's father didn't want to join in the fun. Zhong's mother couldn't resist, so he cooked a piece of bacon and sausage at home and brought it over during dinner.

It was rare for the family to be so lively, plus Xu Qionghua and the Zhong family's siblings, there were seven or eight people at a table, and the table was full of dishes.

After Mingrou came out from Ming's house, the food was not so good, most of the time it was porridge with wild vegetables, and Ye Qiuniang also gave her some whole grains to adjust from time to time, but it was true that she had never eaten so quickly.

Ye Qiuniang felt a lot relieved when she saw the little girl holding a bowl of rice as big as her face, not picking and choosing what to eat.

"Rourou, you look so edible, just like a little pig." Xu Qionghua kept his usual venomous tongue.

Seeing Ming Rou's reincarnation as a hungry ghost, the simple food that he didn't like at all in the past felt much more delicious, even with her, he couldn't help adding an extra bowl of rice.

"Don't you think the dishes Jiujiu cooks are all delicious? I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Mingrou said with some vagueness in his mouth.

"You are so pitiful, next time I will come over and bring you meat."

"No, our family has already repaired the chicken coop last month, brought two old hens back to raise them, and now they have laid eggs, and when the chicks will hatch, I don't need you to send me chicken." Mingrou refused without thinking. up.

"Okay, okay, I just see you are so pitiful, you have grown taller than me recently, you must eat a lot."

When Ye Qiuniang heard what Xu Qionghua said, she couldn't help but cast a glance at Ming Rou.

Now even if I don't seem to be able to see it when I'm sitting, I don't pay much attention to getting along with her every day, so I will take a good measure after they go back at night.

There is also no control over the food. The child's eating habits have been corrected now, and she is not picky about food. She is growing up, so it is necessary for her to eat well in the future.

Mother Zhong who was sitting by the side heard this topic, and couldn't help mentioning: "Ah Rou is 14 years old now, I'm afraid someone will come to propose marriage, and neither of you sisters have parents around, so we will know when the time comes." how to do it?"

When the young people heard this, they all cast their eyes on Ming Rou.

Zhong Tiantian heard his mother and Mo asked, and couldn't help but said: "Sister Qiu hasn't married yet, Rourou shouldn't be in a hurry."

Xu Qionghua at the side stared at Ming Rou sneakily, and said with a smile: "The two of them have been married for a long time."

Ye Qiuniang's hand holding the vegetables paused for a moment and did not make a sound, but Ming Rou blushed: "Hehe, my grandparents decided on it when I was young."

Mother Zhong suddenly became interested: "I didn't expect you two sisters to be engaged at such a young age. It's a pity, but now that Qiuniang is thirty-one, why hasn't the son who pointed out marriage come to marry her away?" , if this goes on, it will delay our Qiuniang's great years."

Xu Qionghua chuckled, and was about to speak out, but Ming Rou stepped on her foot, and she became dumbfounded.

Mingrou knew that she and Ye Qiuniang were temporarily staying in Tongzhuang, and the others didn't know their identities, and they could live in peace for a while now, if Du Xian or other people in Zhuangzi knew their identities, they would be afraid that There is no peace.

"My sister is not going anywhere, I will support her for the rest of my life." Ming Rou's words were rarely firm.

Mother Zhong was about to speak, but she heard Zhong Lin cough lightly, and understood that the three sisters didn't want to bring up this matter, so she didn't bother herself, and changed the subject: "You three sisters are more affectionate than Jin Jian, but it is It’s rare, and now that life is just getting up, let’s not think about it so much, the main thing is to live a good life.”

When Mother Zhong said this, everyone laughed again, and they all turned the topic back to Mingrou's birthday.

In the first two months of her arrival, Ye Qiuniang picked some plums on the mountain and added some sugar to make plum wine. Now, after three or four months, the taste is just right, and it is still a beautiful red color. It tastes sour Sweet and wine-like, soft and lingering with a little bit of topping, it is endless aftertaste.

Ye Qiuniang raised her wine glass and said: "Rou'er is 14 years old today, she is also a little adult, and all the people sitting here are her best friends, and now the three of us are still in touch with us when we are at our worst. , Rou'er and I are very grateful, here is a glass of wine to respect everyone, and I also wish Rou'er can grow up quickly, and live a prosperous and happy life in the future."

When Ye Qiuniang spoke, everyone toasted to wish Mingrou a happy birthday.

Ming Rou heard Ye Qiuniang call her Rou'er, and it was her own birthday today, her mouth was grinning and she couldn't close her mouth. She picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with everyone one by one, and drank it in one gulp. After coughing twice, Ye Qiuniang at the side calmly reached out and stroked her back gently.

After drinking, the atmosphere became more active, and the status of each other was no longer a big deal at this time. Holding a glass of wine, eating to the fullest, it was very joyful.
