After eating and drinking, everyone went home and continued busy with their own work.
Wei Meili stood in the yard drying honeysuckle and mulberry leaves, sharing what she had eaten for lunch with Aunt Wang in the next yard through the fence.
Listening to Wei Meimei's food, Aunt Wang was surprised: "When did your mother-in-law become so generous?"
"Oh, where are they? Our family prepared and brought the pork belly, and my third brother and sister's family prepared and brought the dumplings. My mother-in-law and the others prepared five plates of cabbage and radish and a bowl of chicken soup.
Oh, this chicken soup, the kind where the legs have been eaten in advance. "
Listening to what Wei Meili said, Aunt Wang burst into laughter, nodded, and said: "This is just like your mother-in-law's style. But your mother-in-law didn't intend to use this old hen soup to entertain you, right?"
But let’s not talk about it. Everyone in this village has been living with each other for decades, and who doesn’t know who the other is?
With Zhang's style, anyone with a clear mind can hear the meaning of Wei Meili's words, and combined with Mrs. Zhang's usual style, it is obvious.
Aunt Wang looked at Wei Meiliang inquiringly, and Wei Meiliang also smiled and nodded without saying anything bad.
If she talks too much, it's more like she's deliberately chewing the back of her mother-in-law's tongue.
Aunt Wang also laughed several times when she saw this. When Wei Meili saw this, she couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, is there any happy event recently? She seems to be in a particularly good mood today."
"Shh-" Aunt Wang suddenly made a silent gesture, looked around and saw no one around, and then whispered with a smile, "I have a daughter-in-law!"
"Really?"
"Tell me quietly, it's not even three months old yet! I found it yesterday when I went to my in-laws' place. That means her in-laws' mother was happy, so she brought back a lot of food for my daughter-in-law."
"Oh, our candy cake this morning was also stained with green flowers, which is a happy event!"
"Oh, don't say it's anyone's fault. That snack you made is good. My in-laws are not good at anything except the sweet ones. That snack you made, oh, don't say it's just right for their family!"
After hearing this, Wei Meili was modest and fiddled with the honeysuckle and mulberry leaves in the dustpan. Aunt Wang saw it and said, "I won't mention it anymore. I heard that your family is planning to make tea drinks for sale? Are you planning to make tea drinks in the house?" Where can I sell it? In town?"
Wei Meili shook her head and said: "We have been to that tea stall in the town a few times. Its reputation and popularity are really good. Even if we open it, we will probably earn a lot of hard money at most."
"Hey, what should we do? How about changing to another town? I tasted the tea you made last time, and it tasted really good. Don't waste it if you have the recipe and skills."
Aunt Wang was telling the truth. After being in contact with him for so long, she could tell early on that the Erniu family had a talent for cooking.
"Oh, what kind of town should I change? Didn't I think of a new place again?"
"Where is it?"
"The wharf! It's the wharf where Big Fire Brother works. Our tea is meant to cool down the heat. I think Big Fire Brother and the others work on the wharf in the summer, so if they come here to have a cup like this..."
"Oh, that's great!"
Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "That place is indeed embarrassing and not close to the town, but if you let people on the dock go to the town to eat and drink, they won't like it.
Besides, you also have a wild donkey at home, so if you bring a few buckets of tea, you’re sure to be popular! I will definitely let the fire and wood take care of your business when the time comes. "
Hearing what Aunt Wang said, Wei Meili also smiled.
"At that time, we will have to rely on Brother Huo to take care of the business~"
While the two were chatting, Mei Berry and Mei You were packing the goat milk soap they had made in the cave.
Meiberry packed up the pieces of soap she had made, holding a palm-sized piece of goat's milk soap and looked at it again and again at the sun, and she suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
The quality of this is so much higher than the basic earthen soap that I first made.
Just the delicate feel of Mayberry in holding it is far different from the original rough earth soap.
Goat milk soap now. Looking at it in the sun, it's crystal clear and smooth, almost as bright as mutton-fat jade.
If you smell it carefully, there is a milky smell that is not unpleasant.
"My dad said we would go to the county tomorrow. Have you told your third uncle?"
"Okay, I'll tell my dad tonight that I'll go to the county with you tomorrow. My dad won't object."
Meiyou responded to the time Meibei set and asked again, "By the way, what did you go to the county for yesterday? I heard from my mother this morning that your family also went to the county yesterday."
"Ah, didn't my dad hear that you were going to the county? He was itchy and wanted to go and have a look in advance."
Don't listen to what Mei Berry said. It's not reliable, but after getting to know her, it's really like what Mei Berry's father can do.
"How is Jinbai County?"
"To be honest, it's very prosperous. If you haven't seen the market that stretches for several miles at the dock outside the city, you will think you have entered the city when you get off the boat! They say that Jinbai County and Yunzhou Fucheng are already as prosperous as each other.
All the goods coming and going from the south to the north are all there, you can’t even see them!
Oops, if it weren’t for the little money I earned, my father and I would have brought back everything we saw! "
Hearing Mei Berry's description, Mei You couldn't help but feel better. She promised Mei Berry with an envious look on her face: "Don't worry, you can buy a lot of things back this time."
"Um!"
Mei Mei nodded again and again, thinking about the thousand kilograms of grain she bought yesterday. She rolled her eyes, smiled at Mei You, and said: "Sister, after we have made the soap tomorrow, do you want to take a stroll? I also want to buy... …”
Mei Mei wrote an 800-word essay about what she wanted to buy in one breath, and Mei You was astonished when she heard it!
After talking about half a stick of incense, Mei Berry looked at Mei You with her bright eyes and asked, "Sister, do you want to go shopping with me?"
"No."
Just as Mei Bei thought, Mei You refused very simply.
She has no interest in going shopping, let alone shopping_(：3 ∠)_
"ah……"
Mei Li felt sad in her heart, but she still had to feel disappointed on her face.
"Then I'll ask my dad to join me. My dad can still help me carry things~"
Mei You: "..."
So when Mei Berry took her shopping together, he probably wanted her to help carry things, right?
***
The old house of the Mei family,
"What is mom doing?"
After lunch, Mrs. Jiang washed the pots and dishes and then went back to her room to lie down.
She was lying on the kang. Before Mei Dahu's door was closed, Jiang naturally heard her mother-in-law's cursing coming in from outside the door.
It’s just that the pot of old hen soup at noon is really not left at all.
After scolding the second bedroom, scold the third bedroom; when the third bedroom has finished scolding him, he may have himself to blame.
I blame myself for actually serving the whole pot of chicken soup.
It's just the difference between being scolded in person and not being scolded in person. Jiang chose to be lazy and was scolded behind her back by her mother-in-law.
"Did dad have something to do with you just now?"
After lunch, Old Man Mei specially chatted with Mei Dahu for a while. Seeing that Mei Dahu was back, Jiang asked one more question out of curiosity.
"Dad said he would take me to worship at the temple in the county tomorrow."
"Ah?" Mrs. Jiang sat up and asked, "Why did Dad get up to worship Buddha?"
Mei Dahu shook his head and said that he didn't know either.
"When I was a kid, I heard my grandma say that my dad really believed in Buddhism and had to find time to pay homage every year. Later...it seemed like he didn't go there very much."
"why?"
"How do I know?" Mei Dahu glared at his curious mother-in-law, but Jiang said quite seriously this time: "I heard from my mother that people who have not worshiped Buddha all year round must have something to do with their sudden visit. beg.
Dad went there this time and took you there specially. Could it have something to do with you? "
As soon as these words came out, Mei Dahu also began to beat his heart...
