"Daughter-in-law, look at this!"
Qin Zheng excitedly put the large and small bags in his hands to Ye Yun's hand, and a bunch of crystal-clear candied haws, which he also handed to Ye Yun, looking at her with bright eyes.
Ye Yun glanced at the pile of things.
Peach cakes, melon seeds, calcium milk biscuits, and unripe peaches were picked from someone's peach tree. Unfortunately, these things failed to arouse her interest.
The only thing that catches the eye is the candied haws.
The red hawthorn fruits are arranged on bamboo sticks according to their sizes, and are wrapped in a layer of crystal clear sugar syrup. They are mouth-watering to look at.
Ye Yun vomited and had no strength, so she took the candied haws in Qin Zheng's hand.
She took a bite of hawthorn.
The hawthorn fruit was bitten into pieces in her mouth, and the strong, sweet and sour taste instantly stimulated her to salivate, and she quickly returned the candied haws to Qin Zheng.
"It's so sour, I don't want to eat it..."
She clutched her teeth and fell into the rocking chair again, looking at the mountains in the distance helplessly.
Qin Zheng was so anxious that he scratched his head.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do if my wife can’t eat?
"Daughter-in-law, do you really have nothing to eat?" Qin Zheng pinched the candied haws and asked nervously again.
He was also a father for the first time and had never encountered such a tricky thing.
Ye Yun looked at the mountains in the distance, her mouth moved, and an indescribable impulse suddenly rose in her heart, and she said faintly: "Qin Zheng, I want to eat stinky tofu..."
"What?"
"Stinky tofu!"
Ye Yun seemed to have found her direction in an instant. Her eyes lit up, she grabbed Qin Zheng's hand and said happily: "It's the kind of thing... that can fill the emptiness in your heart!"
"ah?"
Qin Zheng looked confused, obviously not understanding the advanced words in her mouth.
Ye Yun blinked.
Qin Zheng also blinked.
After a long while, his expression finally came to his senses, but he twitched the corner of his mouth indescribably, "Daughter-in-law? Do you really want to eat stinky tofu?"
Ye Yun nodded.
Qin Zheng: "..."
Qin Zheng was stunned.
Others say that if you want sour food, you will have a boy, and if you want spicy food, you will have a girl. So what will happen if your wife wants to eat stinky food?
Qin Zheng looked in a daze, as if he had seen him many years later.
As an old man, he held a jet-black and huge piece of stinky tofu in his arms. The stinky tofu happily called his father in his arms...
hiss……
Qin Zheng shook his head quickly, feeling like he was going crazy!
"OK!"
Qin Zheng gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to find stinky tofu for you. I'm going to see if Mr. Zhuang Mazi's family next door can make stinky tofu!"
Zhuang Lao Mazi’s house next door?
Ye Yun suddenly remembered, isn't that the home of Guo Youcai's little lover?
In order to let Guo Youcai marry this daughter-in-law, Li Xiuying came to Qin Zheng specifically to ask Qin Zheng to give Guo Youcai a decent job. It hadn't been long before the incident happened.
Thinking of this, Ye Yun got up and followed Qin Zheng's 28th pole.
Qin Zheng was surprised, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
"I'll go with you." Ye Yun grabbed his waist and patted him, urging him to leave quickly.
Qin Zheng was puzzled.
He didn't really want to take Ye Yun with him. Some mountain roads were difficult to walk, and it was dangerous to ride the 28-meter pole. He was afraid of bumping Ye Yun again on the road.
Ye Yun followed his back and said with a smile: "I'll go with you to see if there is any stinky tofu at Lao Mazi's house. If there is, let's buy some. If not, I'll see what his house has!"
If not, she wondered if she could develop her stinky tofu business.
Qin Zheng got off the car instead.
He entered the room, and when he came out, he already had a cotton pad in his hand. He found a rope and tied the cotton pad to the back seat. He patted it to make sure it was not hard before letting Ye Yun sit.
Ye Yun smiled warmly.
"Thank you, Qin Zheng." She touched the cushion, and the softness seemed to melt into her heart.
Qin Zheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and laughed softly: "What are you talking about? Wife, I am your man, this should be done."
Ye Yun lightly hummed.
Qin Zheng also got on the 28th pole. He asked Ye Yun to sit down, let Ye Yun hug his waist, and then rode out of the small courtyard.
The next village is not far away. It takes about ten minutes to get there by riding a 28-meter pole.
This was still the case when Qin Zheng was riding relatively slowly. With Ye Yun sitting behind him, he did not dare to ride fast for fear of scaring her.
Soon, after asking people in the village, they found out about Lao Mazi's home.
There was a huge millstone in the palm-sized courtyard, which made Ye Yun a little jealous. If this millstone could grind her mung beans, it would definitely be very efficient!
"anyone there?"
Qin Zheng saw that the courtyard was very quiet, so he raised his voice and shouted.
The door curtain on the side opened, and a little girl of six or seven years old poked her little head out of the room next to her. She had two braids tied with a red rope, and her big watery eyes looked at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun timidly.
Qin Zheng was afraid of scaring the little girl, so he said in a low voice: "Little girl, where are your adults?"
The little girl looked up and down at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, then ran back to the house. After a while, there were other noises in the house.
When the door curtain opened again, the little girl came out holding the hand of an old woman.
The old woman, who was about fifty or sixty years old, was thin and had a blue scarf wrapped around her head. She looked confused when she saw Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, opened her mouth, and pointed at Qin with the little girl in her arms. Zheng and Ye Yun.
"My grandma asked you what are you here for?" the little girl got the idea and translated.
Ye Yun felt relieved.
It turns out that the old woman is mute.
She smiled, "Auntie, we are from the next village and we are here to buy some stinky tofu."
When the old woman heard that she was here to buy stinky tofu, she nodded, took the little girl's hand and hurried to the stove.
But she pointed at the still simmering cauldron and waved her hand towards Ye Yun.
After the little girl understood what she meant, she turned to Ye Yun and said, "The tofu is still in the pot. It's not done yet. It will be sold in the afternoon!"
Making tofu takes a long time to settle.
Lao Mazi didn't know when he started making it, but he usually started walking around the streets with the freshly made tofu at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when every household was about to start cooking dinner.
Qin Zheng explained in a low voice: "It's not tofu, it's stinky tofu."
Stinky tofu?
The old woman was stunned for two seconds and subconsciously looked at the little girl in her hand.
The little girl also shook her head with a confused look, then looked at Ye Yun and Qin Zheng, and said in a crisp voice: "Uncle, we don't have stinky tofu at home, only fragrant and white tofu. Oh, by the way, we have red tofu at home. The tofu is fermented bean curd!”
fermented bean curd?
"Tofu curd will also work."
Ye Yun had not eaten fermented bean curd for a long time, and she also missed the refreshing taste of yogurt. She immediately happily told the little girl to try some fermented bean curd.
Seeing her like this, Qin Zheng asked the old woman for a steamed bun without caring about it.
There were two pieces of dark red bean curd in the small porcelain white bowl. Ye Yun dipped a small piece with her chopsticks, bringing up a trace of the attractive sauce. She was so greedy that she stuffed the steamed buns into her mouth.
Um……
It tastes good, and you can tell as soon as you eat it that there is no lack of MSG!
