They walked into Zhuangzi and saw that the house was well guarded and the materials were complete. Several sacks of coarse salt were placed next to the stove. Several large iron pots and a dozen ceramic basins were neatly placed on the shelves next to the stove.
Five or six young men dressed as servants stood respectfully waiting for instructions.
Gu Yunxiao carefully taught these people how to dissolve the coarse salt, filter it through charcoal, sand and fine cloth, and boil the clean salt water in an iron pot to dry it.
Gu Yunxiao patiently taught several boys to work.
Murong Han stood aside and watched, but his heart was filled with shock.
Who doesn't know that coarse salt is expensive? This boy actually dissolved the coarse salt. When he saw the fine white salt appear in the pot, he quietly let go of his nervousness.
This is clearly a trick to risk death and survive again. The melting of coarse salt is equivalent to breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn into a new world.
Thinking of the situation in DPRK and China where you and I came on stage, who could have imagined what the future would be like?
There were ups and downs in his heart. He thought a lot about this seemingly simple but philosophical method.
When Gu Yunxiao brought half a basin of fine white salt to Murong Han, he found that he didn't know what he was thinking.
She called softly, "Brother Murong..."
Only then did Murong Han come back to his senses, and a smile appeared on his tense face when he saw the results in front of him.
He praised: "Brother Gu Xian has such a wonderful idea because of his family background. This is a great contribution to benefiting the people. I am very grateful to you. I told them to go back to the city together after a few words, and don't forget to find time to choose one." Horse."
Gu Yunxiao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Okay!"
She walked out of the house and waited in the yard for a while, and then they returned to the city together.
Gu Yunxiao sat on the horse, feeling more relaxed.
Gained confidence in learning to ride a horse.
Returning to the county office, she hurriedly took the bag of clothes and headed home.
My uncle and cousin were at home, so I decided to learn horse riding another day.
She first went to the blacksmith shop and tried the finished knife in her hand, and found that the size and weight were just right.
The cake molds are also ready.
She slung the agent's clothes bag over her shoulder and walked back with a knife and a pile of molds;
When I was almost home, I walked to a deserted place and took out a lot of pig meat, two roast chickens, a few pieces of cloth, a few kilograms of sugar, ten kilograms of refined noodles, and a jar of milk from the space. In a big baggage.
I saw two big bundles in front of her and behind her, a can of milk in her hand, and a knife hanging on her waist. She walked into her yard like a moving castle.
Wang Tianyou, who was practicing making cakes in the yard, turned around when he heard the noise and recognized him. Isn't this his eldest cousin?
He rushed over to help and said, "Yunxiao, why did you bring so many things back? Let me..."
Only then did everyone realize that Gu Yunxiao was back, and they all started to help unload the things.
Gu Yunxiao then took a deep breath and asked with concern: "Cousin, how are you doing with your training?"
"It's okay. Can you try the pastries I made?"
Wang Tianyou brought the biscuits and cakes he made as if they were offering treasures.
Gu Yunxiao tasted it and it tasted good.
"Cousin, you can go out now. I brought back a lot of milk. I will use the milk to make a pot of biscuits and cakes later, which will taste better."
Wang Tianyou immediately started gearing up and said, "Yunxiao, can I do it?"
"sure!"
Wang Meihua saw several children starting to make cakes again, and said with concern: "You won't have lunch?"
Wang Tianyou, Gu Yunlan and Gu Yunduo shook their heads and said, "No, we will be full after eating pastries."
Wang Meihua looked at the eldest daughter and asked, "Yunxiao has been busy all morning. Are you hungry?"
Gu Yunxiao's heart was filled with warmth, remembering that sentence: A mother's child is like a treasure, and it feels so good to have a mother who loves her.
Mom was still in confinement and didn't want her to go to the kitchen to cook, so she said in a comforting tone: "Mom, I just need to eat two pastries. We'll eat dinner early. You can rest."
"That's fine, you can get busy."
The cousins and sisters quickly got busy, and more than half an hour later, the small mold cake with milk was baked.
The round shape looks super cute. When you turn on the earthen oven, the aroma mixed with milk comes out.
Everyone swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and just as they were about to pick up a piece and taste it, they heard a familiar and sinister curse sound outside the gate, "It's such a thing, the whole family is starving, but you are here." Those who are popular drink spicy food, and give away their own good food to outsiders for free..."
Everyone followed the sound and found that it was none other than the old lady of the Gu family and the mother and son of the Gu family outside the courtyard gate.
Hearing the old lady's curse words, the neighbors poked their heads in curiosity.
Gu Yunxiao's head was covered with black lines. Why is that shameless old guy here again?
The two of them were like little strong men who could not be beaten to death, neither biting nor responding to others.
She ducked into the house, took out the head-catching knife she had just taken out from the blacksmith shop, rushed to the door, and said sternly to the Gu family mother and son: "Grandma, you are talking nonsense again! We have fields at home, uncle and your family My grandson is so strong, how can he not have enough to eat?"
She looked at everyone and continued to say loudly: "Who doesn't know that my uncle is gone? My aunt has five children. Only the orphans and widowed mothers can't eat. My biological parents sent some food to the children. They are the elders. Are you jealous and looking for trouble to scold others? Is she still a human being?"
The neighbors all knew about the quarrel that day, and they also knew that Wang Meihua's nephew had taken over Gu's job as head catcher.
From now on, the child will fulfill his filial piety by Wang Meihua's side.
The top one is also the name of Gu Wang's eldest daughter.
It turned out that Mrs. Gu Wang had no son, so it was understandable that her mother-in-law and uncle came to draw things.
Now that Mrs. Gu has given birth to two sons, is it easy for orphans and widowed mothers to live?
The old lady of the Gu family led her son to continue fighting the autumn wind, but she really couldn't figure it out.
No wonder there was a fragrance in the air. It turned out to be food sent by the Wang family.
How dare the old lady of the Gu family have the nerve to come and scold the food sent by her parents' family?
Everyone started talking: "The old lady of the Gu family is too short-sighted and unreasonable..."
"No, it's only been quiet for a few days, and my son is gone, why are you still making trouble?"
The old lady of the Gu family felt the disdainful gazes of everyone, and when she saw everyone talking in low voices, her face suddenly felt hot.
Gu Yunxiao stood at the door and continued to criticize with a cold face: "I made it very clear last time. The eldest uncle is in good health and the family property belongs to him. Of course, the eldest uncle should be taken care of in his old age. If the eldest uncle dies, the family's Since the three grandsons have inherited the family business, of course the three of them will take care of their old age. Why can’t you remember this and come to my house again to ask for money for your old age?”
Old Mrs. Gu's face was full of fierceness, and she put on a smile and said: "How can you talk, kid? We came in a hurry when we heard that the in-laws were coming. My eldest granddaughter is already fourteen years old. , it’s time to find your husband’s family. Didn’t I say a few days ago that the child was transferred to your house? Although there is a relative relationship, it is not appropriate for the eldest girl to live in your house like this. His uncle and I found a good marriage for the eldest granddaughter. .”
After saying that, she stood on tiptoes and looked into the yard.
I was a little disappointed when I found that there were only Gu Yunlan and Gu Yunduo in the courtyard, as well as a man in his forties and a good-looking scholar. He didn't see the girl Gu Yunxiao.
Gu Yunxiao stood at the entrance of the courtyard, holding his sword firmly.
I complained in my heart: It’s strange that Mrs. Gu and the so-called uncle can have such kind intentions! It was obviously the weasel who had no good intentions in paying New Year greetings to the chicken.
I thought they had stopped, but I didn't expect to find another way and come up with such a bad idea.
To put it nicely, I didn’t want to sell my granddaughter to earn bride price.
Now her status is very embarrassing, and some things are really hard to say.
She looked at Cheap Girl expectantly.
Since her husband was killed, Wang Meihua saw her mother-in-law and uncle coming to the door aggressively.
My daughter bravely stood up and not only cleared up the matter, she also disguised herself as a man and assumed the responsibility of the head of the family. Several children could survive, but he did nothing but hide behind his daughter and be a coward.
She always felt extremely ashamed.
At this moment, seeing the look in my daughter's eyes, I knew it was time to take action.
Although she was pounding in her heart, she walked over without hesitation and said: "Mother-in-law, my Yunxiao is engaged, and my son-in-law is my nephew. In a few years, when the child gets older, they will get married. This child is not only my nephew, but also the eldest son of my family." Uncle. Not only did the child and I agree on this matter, but the head of the family also said this when he was alive."
The cheap mother is so awesome!
Not only did he lie calmly, he also pulled the cheap dad out as a shield.
Gu Yunxiao was amused; is there such a joke in the world? I am engaged to myself!
Cheap mother’s IQ is online, this method can indeed ward off the wind and rain for several years!
When the old lady of the Gu family heard the news, she immediately jumped up and cursed: "Ms. Gu, you are going too far. You didn't even tell me that your eldest granddaughter is engaged. Do I still care about my mother-in-law?"
Gu Yunxiao's face tightened and he said sternly: "I heard that you two have separated a long time ago. Why should I tell you about the engagement? From Yunxiao's point of view, I should call you grandma. We are indeed engaged. This is not only My aunt's intention is still my uncle's wish. As the saying goes: It is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. If you ruin this marriage, my sword will not recognize you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the machete, and a section of the wooden pillar next to the gate was cut off.
Boss Gu's eyes were burning, this kid was causing trouble again.
He angrily pulled the old lady behind him and cursed unreasonably: "You bastard, who do you think you are? Why do you want to become a little fast-moving maniac after taking over the position of second child? You still want to marry my eldest niece, all the benefits are there." It's too shameful to let you occupy it. Who are you trying to scare with a knife? If you have the ability, challenge me to a duel. I can't beat you to death..."
This is no longer ideal!
To be honest, she is not afraid of the other party.
But this man occupies the status of an elder. Even if he defeats the opponent, he will be criticized by the lively crowd.
what to do?
Got it!
Gu Yunxiao looked at the other party sarcastically and said: "I am not the little catcher you talk about. I am now the deputy catcher of the county. You are shouting in front of me, do you want to kill me? We will go to the county now. Master, I asked someone to free up a room in the prison. I wanted to catch the gangster who killed my uncle, but now it’s just right to lock you up.”
Only then did Boss Gu remember that he couldn't afford to offend this boy now.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. His ferocious face immediately softened and he automatically found the steps and got down.
"Little brother of the Wang family, we are all relatives after all. I was just joking."
Gu Yunxiao said with a livid face: "Who is kidding you? I think you are related to the robber who killed my uncle. Come with me quickly!"
She is not only raising the flag and trying to hide the tiger's skin, but also going up and down the line to scare the other party.
Boss Gu's expression changed and he left in a hurry. As he walked, he said, "Please don't misunderstand me. I'll just leave..."
When the old lady of the Gu family saw her eldest son striding away in embarrassment, her heart pounded, and she followed him in panic, tiptoeing.
"Boss, wait for me..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Gu Yunxiao's nervous heart quickly relaxed.
Wang Meihua's legs suddenly became weak and she almost fell.
She had been bullied by her mother-in-law all these years, and finally she had a hard time. When she saw him leave, she felt like she was surviving a disaster.
She broke out in cold sweat, and Gu Yunxiao, who was standing next to her, helped her in time.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Mom, it's okay!"
When everyone saw the uncle and nephew, no, the relationship between the future uncle and the mother-in-law was so close, they all became envious and jealous.
