"Mom still loves me dearly," Jiang Miao smiled brightly, and was so cute and charming that it made people feel hurt.
"Shameless." Madam Zhang was so arrogant that she couldn't stand the sticky stuff, so she tapped her forehead and pushed it away.
"How should I eat that piece of fat meat in the kitchen?" She looked at it and saw that it weighed three kilograms and had no lean meat at all.
"That's the skin care product I bought to refine the oil. It's made from lard. I use it on my hands and face to make sure it's white and tender."
"Really?" Mrs. Zhang looked suspicious. She only knew that lard tasted delicious, but she didn't expect it to have such effects.
"I'll give it to my mother to try when it's ready. When the weather is cold and my skin is dry and cracked, it feels comfortable to put on it." Jiang Miao has made it herself before, and it works better than the ones bought at the counter.
"My face looks like old tree bark. Why waste that good thing? I don't need it!"
"My mother is also beautiful even when she is old. My husband's appearance is just like yours, that's why he is so handsome." This is true. Although Mrs. Zhang is rigid and serious and doesn't like to smile, her facial features are good, and her beauty in her youth can be seen.
"You just know how to coax me with nice words!"
Mrs. Zhang's face burned terribly, but when she was young, she was indeed the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. Otherwise, because her mother's family was so poor, Father Shen would not have taken a liking to her at a glance.
…
Shen Yanqing was distracted today, touching the sachet on his waist from time to time, and even Xu Ziwen could tell that something was wrong with him.
"Brother Shen, did you encounter any problems?"
"Nothing." Shen Yanqing pursed her lips and refused to say more, and Xu Ziwen did not continue to ask.
Shen Yanqing is talented, smart and knowledgeable. He gets first place in every exam. If he has a problem that he doesn't know, even if he knows it, he can't help.
Xu Ziwen shook his head. He had questions to ask Shen Yanqing.
"Brother Shen, what does this poem mean?"
Shen Yanqing cheered up and tried to answer his questions. Xu Ziwen suddenly became enlightened and asked a few more questions.
"Thank you so much, Brother Shen. Listening to you is worth ten years of reading!"
Xu Ziwen was extremely proud that he had the insight to seize the place where Shen Yanqing slept with him. Those people looked down on his poor family and isolated him. Now he regrets that his intestines are green.
"Brother Xu, I also have a question..."
Shen Yanqing looked a little uncomfortable and struggled for a long time before speaking.
"What do you usually give girls?"
Xu Ziwen was stunned, "Girl? Clothes, jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, it's always right to give these."
Anyway, every time he buys it for his mother and sisters, they are very happy.
Shen Yanqing held the ten cents in the sachet, which Xu Ziwen said he couldn't afford.
"However, it is not limited to these. The most important thing is to give gifts that suit the person you like."
"Um."
He nodded understandingly. Jiang Miao used to like money, but she wouldn't even look at ten cents.
Jiang Miao's temperament has changed now. Shen Yanqing thought about the past few times they had been together, and she seemed to like food.
Girls' families all love to eat snacks, but Jiang Miao has never had them in the Shen family for so many years. He lowered his eyes and felt the copper plate in his palms getting hot.
Shen family.
Dafang went out early in the morning to sell food. Jiang Miao was refining oil in the kitchen. A large piece of pork was made into a jar. She held it aside and waited for it to cool.
Mrs. Zhang asked curiously, "Is this done?"
"This is just the first step. You have to wait for the oil to solidify before adding other medicinal materials." Jiang Miao answered while cleaning up the edge of the pot.
"It's really troublesome."
Jiang Miao smiled, compared to those modern big-name cosmetics, this is already the simplest.
There was half a basin of oil residue left from the oil refining, and Jiang Miao shook it.
"Mom, let's eat steamed buns for lunch. There are also some leeks, chopped and mixed with oil residue. It's delicious. My husband must also like it."
Anyway, it wasn't that she wanted to eat it, it was Shen Yanqing who was greedy.
"You are only thinking about the third child..."
"My husband is not here, so I'm afraid that he won't be able to eat well or sleep well." Jiang Miao said in a nice way without losing her mind. She hoped that the male protagonist would study hard and gain fame early.
"Don't be ashamed!" Mrs. Zhang glanced over and saw Shen Yanqing standing at the door.
"The third child is back, Miaoya is thinking of you!"
"Mom!" Jiang Miao's face was so hot that she didn't expect that such embarrassing words would be heard by the person involved.
Shen Yanqing had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect Jiang Miao to miss him so much. Would he want to spend more time with her in the future?
If Jiang Miao knew what he was thinking, he would definitely put it back on and slap himself twice for telling you nonsense!
"Want to cook? I'll help you."
There is no such thing as a gentleman in the Shen family, so Shen Yanqing rolled up his sleeves to help her mix the stuffing. Jiang Miao was still a little embarrassed at the moment, so she threw the basin into his arms.
"Mom, I'm going to roast rabbit."
"Miaoya, you are shy. I know you are tired from studying. I caught a rabbit yesterday and thought I would replenish it for you today. I also said that I would use rabbit fur to make you a muff." Mrs. Zhang rolled out the dough and babbled. Shen Yan Listening to it is fascinating.
"Third brother, you must not be sorry to Miao Ya in the future, otherwise my mother will not be able to spare you!"
"Um."
…
Just after noon, Dafang also came back with his cart.
Now Dafang can sell three pieces of pig meat a day. Jiang Miao also asked Wang to braise some chicken feet. Although there is not much meat, it tastes delicious and is easy to sell. Although it is tiring, he can make a net profit of two hundred yuan a day. , these days are full of excitement, Wang smiles every day, and looks younger.
"Mom, they are all sold out again today. I will discuss with the boss whether we should make more in the future."
"That's the only one that sells pork in this town. Didn't all the pigs get bought back by the boss?" Mrs. Zhang asked. The owner of the butcher stall wanted to increase the price even though he knew they were buying them back for business.
"Well, I plan to visit other towns." Boss Shen was taciturn, but he had a plan in mind. Now that business is so good, he wants to work harder and make more money.
"Just think about it yourself, let's not talk about eating!" Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, and the Shen family washed their hands and went to the dinner table.
Father Shen has a leg injury and is in bed. Fortunately, the weather is cooler now. It would have been a disaster to lie down all day in the summer heat.
Jiang Miao made a pot of bone soup, put down a bowl of white noodles, and put in two big buns, asking Shen Yanqing to take them in together.
While he was waiting for Father Shen to finish eating, Jiang Miao was about to pick up the fattest rabbit leg. Her roasted meat was the most delicious, fragrant and tender.
Smelling the fragrance of green bamboo on the man's body, Jiang Miao's heart tightened and she turned her chopsticks.
"Ms. sir, eat this, it tastes delicious!"
She felt a little ache in her heart. What a fat rabbit leg. She even added more spices when roasting it.
But the opportunity to improve the male protagonist's favorability was right in front of her, so she closed her eyes, there would be more rabbits in the future!
"Thanks."
Seeing the girl's curved eyebrows and smile, Shen Yanqing felt so sweet in her heart.
He took it and took another piece of rabbit meat from the plate and handed it to Jiang Miao, "You can eat it too."
Jiang Miao was caught off guard and reached for the bowl, "Thank you, sir."
"Oh, my wife and I are so tired of eating together."
Mrs. Xu looked on with a sour look on her face. She and Shen Laoer were not so clingy when they were newly married.
