An Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. A shop is worth a lot of money. At first, he thought it was Lu Jin who used his last fortune, but he didn't expect that the whole family relied on her alone to make money.
The younger sister who used to pester them for sweets has grown up and is now able to stand alone and shine in her own field.
So what's the use of Lu Jin, and he still needs his sister to support him? An Yue made no secret of his dislike of Lu Jin.
In the past, it was absolutely impossible for Lu Jin to rely on a woman, but now, well, he has a wife to support him. He just wants to eat soft rice for the rest of his life, and eat soft rice in an honest way.
So he turned a blind eye to An Yue's gaze, and took An Hao to school after breakfast.
Because it was snowing, An Shuyao rested at home first. She looked at An Yunzheng who was sitting and watching the snow, her eyes brightened: "Fifth brother, can you make something for me?"
An Yunzheng turned his eyes: "What is it?"
"It's just a colander. It's bigger than a spoon, but it has small holes, so you can use it to drain food."
An Yunzheng thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
His only hobby since childhood has been carving. No matter what he does, he must achieve extreme perfection. From wooden swords as a child to extremely complex craftsmanship now, as long as he is given a drawing and his understanding is given, he can do it.
come out.
Not to mention An Shuyao's extremely simple carpentry work.
There were still a lot of large wooden blocks left by An Yunrui, so he went to move them to An Yunzheng. It was very cold outside, so An Shuyao asked him to do it in the house and clean it up later.
All his carving tools were brought with him, and they were all the best carving tools that An Mu spent huge sums of money to build for him.
He looked at the wood in his hand seriously, drew a rough shape with charcoal, and then began to carve. There were sawdust around his feet.
An Jingzhou put on his bamboo hat and went to the mountain. He said he was going to catch wild boars. The prey would only come out to look for food when it snowed. An Yue said he wanted to go out and take a look at this rock village.
As for An Yunrui, he put a hundred pounds of sweet potatoes and a hundred pounds of soybeans on the donkey cart and headed towards the mill.
The market is tomorrow. She will make tofu and some sweet potato jelly before the market to see if anyone will buy it to try it.
After all, she currently only sells sweet potato jelly to Zuixian Pavilion.
Liu Yuxue was sitting by the stove sewing, while An Shuyao was tinkering with her jade skin cream at the table. This cream can not only lighten scars, but also whiten them. With the addition of spiritual spring water, the effect is comparable to a holy beauty product.
Everyone in the family is busy with their own affairs, and they are happy.
At noon, An Shuyao went to deliver lunch to Lu Jin and came back just in time to see An Jingzhou dragging a wild boar back. There were also mud marks on his body, but fortunately he was not injured.
He fought with the wild boar for at least an hour before grinding the thick-skinned guy to death. It took him half of his strength to drag it back.
An Yue stood in the courtyard, looked at the wild boar, smiled at An Jingzhou and said, "It's good that you didn't hurt yourself."
An Jingzhou held the bowl and ate, he chuckled: "This thing still wants to embarrass me, no way."
An Yue still smiled warmly: "Otherwise, I would have to trouble my little sister to treat you, which would be a bit troublesome."
An Jingzhou: "..."
Okay, since he only has that sister in his eyes, his brother is insignificant.
Although I knew that An Yue had been very controlling of girls since he was a child, I didn't expect that he would be so distressed. Fortunately, An Jingzhou was used to it.
He sighed and said melancholy: "I am not working so hard just so that my little sister can eat well."
An Yue turned around and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
An Jingzhou: "..."
An Shuyao knelt down and touched the wild boar. It looked like it weighed about two hundred pounds. Its fur was shiny and its body was already cold.
An Jingzhou finished his meal quickly and came to An Shuyao's side with a knife. He held the wild boar's tusks and asked, "How? Is this pig enough for bacon?"
An Shuyao looked at him helplessly: "I guess you just went to hunt the wild boar because you wanted to eat it."
An Jingzhou chuckled: "Not entirely, the meat in the county is so expensive, it doesn't cost much to kill one yourself, and the meat of wild boars is much firmer than domestic pork."
An Shuyao looked at the whole pig: "That's enough. You can also use some to make braised pork. If you want bacon on the kang, you have to cut some pine branches and pine leaves, so that the kang will taste more fragrant."
An Jingzhou nodded when he heard this: "There are a lot of pine trees on the mountain. It's just the right time to cut them down and dry them. It will be convenient when you need a kang."
The more An Jingzhou thought about it, the more motivated he became. You can never stop a foodie's enthusiasm. He looked at An Yue with great interest: "Third brother, just come with me and watch the oxcarts at the bottom of the mountain. Use
The oxcart transports more."
An Yue had no objection, and the two brothers led the ox cart out.
An Yunrui also carried several large buckets of ground bean juice and sweet potato juice into the woodshed.
An Shuyao was afraid that the bean juice would become stale after being left out overnight, so she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and put the bucket into the space, waiting for her to release it quietly tomorrow.
She covered herself with firewood and went out.
In the afternoon, after classes at Lu Jin Academy were over, An Hao went to feed Lihua as soon as he got home.
This big wild boar was disemboweled by An Yunrui, and An Shuyao heated up two large pots of water. This atmosphere really felt like a festive occasion.
An Yunrui was very good at handling these wild animals. Lu Jin was beside him and handed him water, and the two of them worked together to clean a pig.
It was getting dark, and An Jingzhou and An Yue slowly went home. They not only chopped a lot of pine leaves, but also a lot of firewood. Due to the snow, the wood was still wet. This much firewood was enough for them to use one or two
It’s been months.
A busy day passes quickly.
At Yinshi, it was still dark, so An Shuyao got up early to make tofu.
Going to the market today, she had to ensure the texture of the tofu, so she had to make the freshest. She made the sweet potato jelly last night, and it was already solidified in the morning.
After An Shuyao cut it into pieces, he neatly stacked them in the bucket.
Liu Yuxue got up early to help her do it. Lu Jin got up with An Shuyao and helped her carry firewood to light the fire.
A big bucket of tofu was ready before Tatsuki.
With a big bucket full, whether her tofu reputation can be spread depends on today.
The brothers all got up, but An Yunzheng didn't go out. He was still focused on his carpentry work, and An Shuyao didn't ask him to go to the market with him.
The others were quite interested. When loading the car, An Shuyao saw the cleaned wild boar and was a little stunned: "Brother Qi, aren't you going to make bacon? Why is this pig in the car?"
An Jingzhou was sitting in the driver's seat: "Take it to sell, the pine leaves won't be cooked for a while, and the meat won't taste good if it's been stored for a long time. Take it to the market while it's fresh and exchange it for some money, and wait for the kang."
I’ll just go to the mountain and get one back when the time comes.”
