[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Aunt Li never imagined that in her lifetime, she would see the master enter the kitchen. She thought that she did not do well enough to annoy the master, so she deliberately came to attack her.

Aunt Li knelt on the ground with a plop, tremblingly paying her respects.The little girl Cui'er was also infected by her mother, she knelt on the ground and dared not move.

Jia Yucun said warmly, "Get up, everyone."

Aunt Li dared not get up.

Baochai stepped forward to help her, and said with a friendly smile, "Don't be afraid, Aunt Li, we're just here as an excuse to use the pot. Is there any boiling water? I want to blanch some vegetables."

Hot dishes?Aunt Li had question marks all over her face.

Baochai shook the pea sprouts in her hand: "It's very simple, just roll it in hot water."

"There are some." Of course Aunt Li knew what Baochai was holding. Two months ago, it was not considered expensive, but now it is almost impossible to buy.

Aunt Li squatted in the stove and added two sticks of firewood to it. The hot water in the pot soon boiled. Yinger took the treasures, washed them and threw them into the pot to be scalded under Baochai's instructions. It was hot, then quickly fished out and put into a bowl.

Baochai took a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a pea shoot, and shook it in front of Jia Yucun: "It's really edible, I promise it's not poisonous."

Jia Yucun frowned with thick eyebrows, deeply disapproving in his heart.

Baochai didn't mind either, and was about to put it into her mouth with a twist of her wrist, but was stopped by Jia Yucun on the way.

Alas, he sighed in his heart, although this thing looks the same as usual, it has a strange origin, which makes people have to guard against it.

However, Baochai was too thoughtful to listen to persuasion, even if he could stop her this time, maybe she would try again secretly behind her back.

That's all, I'm a man, and I'm strong, even if I have diarrhea a few times, it's better than Baochai's accident.

With a painful expression of testing poison, he said slowly: "Since you said it can be eaten, I will believe you once." Then he opened his mouth and snatched the pea sprouts from Baochai's chopsticks.

Baochai teased him on purpose, and laughed coquettishly: "My lord, just eat with confidence and boldness. If something happens, I'll send someone to ask the doctor to save you."

Jia Yucun chewed slowly, squinted at her, and finally swallowed with the courage of death.Very fresh and tender, with a crisp taste, this is his feeling after swallowing it.

Aunt Li couldn't understand their charades, she only thought that the master had great powers, how rare it is to get a bowl of bean sprouts at this time!

Ying'er held her heart tightly, stared at Jia Yucun uneasily, and immediately prepared to rush out to call for someone.

"Yeah." After swallowing, Jia Yucun's expression remained unchanged, and he said to Baochai, "Just wait, if I wake up safe and sound tomorrow morning..."

Even if he doesn't feel anything strange now, he still can't take it lightly. It's not that the family is too poor to afford other vegetables. He even planned to take this thing to ask the people in Da Nong Si for advice.

Baochai thought he was too gruff, so when everyone was not paying attention, she quickly took one and put it in her mouth, then squinted her eyes happily and smiled.

Green vegetables in winter are treasures, this is a way of making money.

When Jia Yucun saw it, Baochai's small mouth was chewing happily, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pick it. How could Baochai let him succeed? He didn't care about chewing slowly, and with a movement of his throat, the pea sprout was finally safe. reached the stomach.

Jia Yucun's face turned pale, pointed at her, and said tremblingly: "You, you, if this..."

"You were born and I was not born...Although you can't live with the master, it's not bad to die together." Baochai sighed pretendingly.

Hearing this, Jia Yucun wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, and his chest was filled with indescribable emotion.After being moved, I remembered the second half of the sentence——

I was old when I was born.

Does this mean he is old?

"Hmph." He sneered.

The taste of the freshly picked pea sprouts was very good, and Baochai was very happy. It didn't matter how expensive the green vegetables outside were to her, so she ignored Jia Yucun, an ignorant man, and turned back to the west chamber to harvest. the fruits of her labor.

……

After Jia Yucun's personal experiment, a plate of stir-fried green bean sprouts appeared on the dining table in the main courtyard that night. Mrs. Song was shocked when she saw it: "Is there still such a thing in this season? How much money did it cost?"

The old lady felt sorry for her son's difficulty in earning money and hard work in raising a family, and she smiled and scolded him: "I know you are filial, and life at home is easier now, but you have to save some when you should. It doesn't matter if there are vegetables on the table. I don't like to eat dry rice, so I can drink two more bowls of porridge, and my stomach will feel better!"

Jia Yucun first glanced at Baochai with a smile, and then replied softly: "Mother, don't worry, half a copper coin is not spent."

When Mrs. Song saw this, she thought it was from Xue's family, so she turned her head and said to Baochai, "Your mother is really too gifty. You gave me so many good things last time. I don't even bother to send this here now." Sorry. Yuhuan, go prepare a generous gift and send it to Xue's house tomorrow."

Baochai hurriedly called to Yuhuan: "Don't go, this is not from my natal family."

Jia Yucun said cheerfully: "Mother, let me tell you the truth, she figured it out in the house by herself, and only spent a few seeds, and nothing else can be used."

Old Mrs. Song didn't really believe that Baochai could do such a thing, but she was a person who thoroughly "obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies". As long as her son said it, it must be true.

Even if Jia Yucun pointed at the sweet cake and said it was salty, Mrs. Song would believe it, thinking it was her tongue that had a problem.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Song was very appreciative, and praised Baochai repeatedly, "People who can read and write are different, and they can even think of such a way."

Baochai smiled modestly and said, "I didn't come up with it either. I probably saw it somewhere when I was a child. I thought it was a fake. I suddenly remembered it these two days and tried it."

"That's because you are smart. Look at those who built the greenhouse, I don't know how much money they spent." Mrs. Song sighed, "It's also delicious to make soup with bean sprouts. I wonder if your natal family has it? If not, I will remember it later. Send some over."

Baochai agreed with a smile. She had already thought about this matter in her heart, but it was inconvenient to say it at the dinner table.

The three of them chatted happily, and Fan Jiaoxing couldn't get in the conversation for a while, feeling that she was being left out, and was stabbed by the old lady Kua Baochai's words about reading and writing.

Fan Jiaoxing doesn't like green vegetables, and because she stays in the backyard all year round, she doesn't know much about the outside world, so she doesn't realize the significance and business opportunities of Shuifa Wandou Miao.

She just felt that looking at Baochai was becoming more and more distasteful now, but the other party liked to show off, and she was really embarrassing herself everywhere.

The cheerful atmosphere at the dinner table was in sharp contrast to Fan Jiaoxing's sad and sad mood. After finishing the meal dullly, she didn't even have the mood to wink at Jia Yucun.

Posting the master's cold ass|Pasting too many buttocks, Fan Jiaoxing also wants face, gradually she doesn't care where he rests at night, anyway, I can't force it, I can't fight it, why bother to show embarrassment?

After talking with the old lady for a while, Jia Yucun led Baochai away, and Fan Jiaoxing raised her chin slightly, watching their leaving backs coldly.

The old lady Song turned her head inadvertently, and found Fan Jiaoxing's eyes that hadn't looked back, she was very upset in her heart, she wanted to talk about her, but she opened her mouth but endured it, and took the initiative to say: "That's all right, let's talk again." You don’t need to spend money to buy green vegetables, you can save a lot of money!”

Fan Jiaoxing attaches great importance to money. In the past, most of the conversations with the old lady were about trivial matters such as rice, salt, vegetable oil, etc.

In order to highlight her good character of frugal housekeeping, she often pretended to be casual and said to the old lady, how to do here can save a little, and how to arrange there can save two cents.

Mrs. Song thought that a harmonious family is the way to prosper a family, so she said this on purpose to make Fan Jiaoxing happy.

No, Fan Jiaoxing doesn't accept this favor.

So what if you save more?Since she couldn't get into her purse, she only received three taels of silver every month, even if she saved a mountain of gold, it would still belong to the master.

Fan Jiaoxing forced a smile, and replied dryly: "Yes, my sister is more capable. Mother, I want to go back and rest. I accidentally blew the wind last night, and my head still hurts today."

Fan Jiaoxing's health is poor, and it is almost a well-known fact that it is difficult to fall asleep at night.When Mrs. Song heard this, she quickly scrutinized her complexion. It seemed that her complexion was darker than last month, and she immediately told her considerately: "Then go back and rest quickly. If you really can't sleep well, please invite a doctor to come in. Prescribe a prescription to soothe the nerves, maybe it will get better."

"Thank you mother for your concern, then I'll go back first." Fan Jiaoxing stood up and blessed her, then left.

As soon as Baochai returned to the west chamber, she quickly sprinkled water on the pea seedlings, and Jia Yucun followed closely, deliberately teasing her: "Let me guess, you probably want to count on using it to send it again. Rich."

Baochai glared at him with a smile, her almond eyes were watery, not intimidating, but they seemed to be wearing hooks, which made Jia Yucun stunned for a moment.

"I make money by my ability, what's so funny?" Baochai said as he slowly moved the celadon basin, intending to change it to a better place.

Jia Yucun was startled by her action, and immediately stepped forward to grab the support basin, and blamed: "This thing is heavy, if you don't stop falling, it will definitely smash your feet."

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't argue that the basin was too heavy to carry, because there was free labor, so it wasn't for nothing.

After taking good care of the bean sprouts, Baochai went to the couch and sat down, and seriously discussed with Jia Yucun: "People outside, is it difficult to eat fresh vegetables in winter?"

"Usually, meat is more expensive than vegetables. The colder the weather, the more the opposite is true. This is only for rich families. They do not lack meat, so it is rare in seasons when vegetables are scarce. For ordinary people, a I want to eat meat all year round."

"Ah." Baochai sighed, and didn't mention the issue of inequality, which has happened in every dynasty, "You run a silk shop, and if you serve dishes, it looks nondescript, so I I thought it would be better to leave it to my brother."
