Yuan Baoshu has been running to the county town every day for the past two days, and every time she comes back, she packs big and small bags. Everyone in the village sees it, and they can't help but murmur in their hearts.
When Yuan Baoshu came back this time, before she even entered the house, a villager stopped her and said, "Baoshu, why have you been going to the county town to buy things every day these days? You don't look like you are going through the day. Is she your sister-in-law?
Are you greedy again?"
"You shouldn't spoil her. Which daughter-in-law is as greedy and lazy as her?"
The villagers' eyes fell on the fabrics of Yuan Baoshu's basket, and they couldn't help but gasp. Their families were usually happy to have cotton clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, but Su Yueling actually wore silk and satin? Where was she?
With all this money? Do you really think you are the daughter of a wealthy family in the county?
Yuan Baoshu was a little angry. She always had a good temper and couldn't help but retorted, "My sister-in-law is rich. She is free to buy and eat whatever she wants."
"It's not like she doesn't do anything at home. She also taught me how to make several dishes that I had never eaten before. After I went to the city these two days, I also sold those recipes to a big restaurant in the county. The shopkeeper was willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
Come down."
The other villagers' eyes widened. In their eyes, the people in the county were more knowledgeable than the villagers like them. In the big restaurants in the city, there were people who had seen all kinds of things. In the end, they were actually willing to spend money to buy Su Yueling's recipes.
.
Is it possible that Su Yueling is good at cooking?
No one suspected that Yuan Baoshu was lying. There were only about 200 households in this village. Everyone had watched Yuan Baoshu grow up and knew that she was not in the temperament to lie.
Zhao Qian, who had eaten Dongpo meat before, happened to pass by. When he heard this, he said directly: "I believe this! That Dongpo meat is so delicious that I can swallow it with my tongue. I have never eaten so good."
Meat to eat! That restaurant owner has good taste."
Zhao Qian said this, and others believed it even more.
But there are still some people who can't stand Su Yueling's approach, "Even if she earned the money, she has already married into your Yuan family, so she shouldn't waste money. It's true that she saves money to buy land."
Naturally, Yuan Baoshu would not be stupid enough to say how much money her sister-in-law sold for the prescription. She just said: "Making money is a man's business. With my two brothers here, how can I get the idea of a woman's dowry."
This recipe is equivalent to the dowry brought by my sister-in-law, so the money I earn is equivalent to the dowry.
Zhao Qianshi rolled her eyes at the others, "Why do you care so much? Even if people eat meat and wear new clothes, it won't use your family's money?"
Yuan Baoshu cast a grateful look at Zhao Qianshi, then quickly carried her things home.
She would have to hurry up and make clothes for her sister-in-law later. Even if she was cutting the simplest clothes, it would probably be dark before she could finish them. Her time was not to be wasted.
Others looked at Yuan Baoshu's hurried away figure and felt puzzled.
What's going on with Yuan Baoshu? She was treated so harshly by Su Yueling and yet she still focused on talking to her. It's really strange.
…
Su Yueling only ate one piece of each of the pastries that Yuan Baoshu brought back, except for the osmanthus cake, which she ate two more. The osmanthus cake tasted quite good, full of osmanthus fragrance, waxy and delicious, sweet but not greasy.
Su Yueling was very accustomed to Yuan Baoshu taking the initiative to buy her snacks with his own money. After all, she had always been the focus of everyone's attention. Treating her well was what she should do.
Yuan Baoshu had long been used to it when she saw her sister-in-law put it aside after eating very little.
She can also eat the leftovers from her sister-in-law's meal.
She also tasted each one, put the rest in the cabinet, then took a measuring tape to measure the size of Su Yueling's body, and wrote down each detailed number.
She suddenly remembered something and asked: "Sister-in-law, I see you have been asking me to buy brown sugar these past few days, but you don't seem to like eating it after you buy it."
Su Yueling tilted her head and said, "I'll tell you about this after you make the clothes I'll wear tomorrow."
Yuan Baoshu was extremely curious, but she still ran to make clothes.
She first took a bright cyan satin embroidered with camellias and started cutting it. Yuan Baoshu was somewhat talented in needlework, and her deceased mother was the most skilled embroiderer in the village, so although she was not very old, she
The level of female celebrities is also the first in the village.
From the time she was seven years old, her two brothers' clothes were sewn by her.
She gently stroked the silk with her hands. The silk felt so good and it must be very comfortable to wear. When she saves enough money, she will also buy a piece of red silk.
Without the need for embroidery, the dress was very quick to make, and Yuan Baoshu had it ready before dark.
She consciously washed the newly cut clothes and hung them to dry in the living room. It would be bad if the chickens accidentally flew over and got contaminated by dust if they were hung to dry in the yard. Anyway, with the current weather, it would be enough to leave the clothes in the living room for one night.
Can do it.
After that, she quickly caught a chicken and started making braised chicken. She then exchanged an egg with her neighbor for a handful of vegetables and had dinner.
After finishing dinner and washing the dishes, Yuan Baoshu looked at Su Yueling eagerly, "Sister-in-law, do you want to make something to eat when you buy so much brown sugar?"
Su Yueling tilted her head, "Go outside and dig out some yellow mud and find some straw. I want it clean. I remember there are earthen pots and funnels in the kitchen? If not, just borrow them."
In the past few days, Su Yueling had already established a stalwart image in Yuan Baoshu's mind because of those recipes. Although she didn't understand why she wanted yellow mud, Yuan Baoshu still went to dig it obediently. She also chose the one that no one had stepped on.
That yellow mud field and straw are also things that can be seen everywhere. You can grab a lot of them casually. As for the earthen pot and funnel, I have them at home, so there is no need to borrow them.
When she came back from digging the mud, her clothes were inevitably stained with mud. Yuan Baoshu didn't care. She just changed them tonight and washed them.
Su Yueling sat on a chair. On her chair was a cushion that Yuan Baoshu took the time to make for her. Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Yuan Baoshu adjusted the position of the cushion for her.
Su Yueling said: "First plug the mouth under the funnel with straw, and put the brown sugar into the funnel."
Yuan Baoshu obeyed obediently, "What then?"
"Put the funnel into the earthen pot and pour the yellow mud water on the sugar."
Yuan Baoshu looked at Su Yueling in surprise, "But wouldn't the candy be dirty?"
Su Yueling snorted, "You're right if you listen to me."
Yuan Baoshu hesitated for a moment and looked into the funnel. There was almost half a catty of brown sugar in it. If it was really dirty and couldn't be eaten, she would wash it a few more times.
She took a deep breath and poured the yellow mud water down.
What shocked her was that the candy that had been drizzled with yellow mud water looked much whiter than before.
Yuan Baoshu blinked in surprise, her sister-in-law's words echoed in her ears, "Keep showering."
"Oh." She woke up from a dream and scooped another spoonful of yellow mud water down.
Spoon after spoon, repeating this action again and again.
After burning the incense, looking at the sugar as white as snow, Yuan Baoshu seemed to be in a dream.
