After Ms. Feng separated from Ms. Chen, she went to look for a shop that specialized in selling furs. She searched several streets before she found one. This shop didn't chase her away like the previous one. They only said that they would only accept the goods and not help sell them. When Mrs. Feng asked about the price again, she was looked at her up and down and said, "Madam, if you have it, bring it to me and I will decide the price after I look at it."
Feng, who didn't ask anything, could only walk back in frustration. When she passed by the "Chengde Luncheon Meat Shop" opened by Han Shuxian, she saw the people coming and going inside, and she knew that the business was very good without asking.
Feng also knew the price of luncheon meat. Half a catty of meat costs twenty cents, which is much more expensive than pork. If you can make it yourself, how much money will you have to earn?
He threw away the one hundred cents of rabbit money, smelled the fragrance, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then walked back.
After arriving home, Mrs. Feng took a rare look at Erya, who was sitting next to Li Dagang and watching him write. She let her sit there and play. If this was normal, she would definitely have yelled, "Is there nothing to do at home? You know how to play all day long." .”
Even though Granny Feng didn't yell or scream, Erya stood up and said, "Milk."
Mrs. Feng said "Yes" and then asked, "Where is your sister?"
"Sister went to Aunt Yu." After saying that, he immediately said, "I'm going to call her back." He didn't dare to tell Da Ya about going to learn embroidery.
"Whatever you want, the girl can learn embroidery. If she wants to learn it, she can learn it. After she learns it, she will have a skill."
Erya couldn't believe that it was her mother who said this. She didn't say this before. You can learn whatever you want to learn. After you learn it, you will be a member of other people's houses. She said that if you have this time, you might as well do more things at home. Avoid having nothing to eat at home.
"Oh." Erya didn't know what to reply, so she just said "oh."
Mrs. Feng stopped caring about Erya and looked at Li Dagang who was looking up at her. She smiled and said to Li Dagang, "Is Dagang writing again? Are you tired from writing? If you are tired, take a rest and give me what you want to eat. I’ll boil the milk for you.”
How could the little kid not want to eat delicious food, especially since he didn't eat well in the past, so he wanted to eat it even more. Compared with Erya, Li Dagang was not as surprised as Li Erya. After all, Feng's kindness in the past was all given to Li Dagang. Li Dagang, who didn't think there was anything unusual about Mrs. Feng, immediately responded: "I want to eat meat pie."
Mrs. Feng still had a smile on her face, "Okay, I'll chop the meat to make meatloaf for you." Then she shouted to Erya who stood up, "Let's go and light the fire."
"Oh." Erya still said "oh."
Mrs. Feng not only baked the pancakes, but also prepared the dinner for the evening. This surprised Du Chunxia when she came home. Not only was the food cooked, but there was also a large plate of meatloaf on the table. Mom, what good things happened today?"
Feng Shi smiled and replied: "You are busy and tired outside every day. When you come back, rest more and sit down to eat."
Du Chunxia was flattered, but she also had a smile on her face, "Hey, my mother takes care of everything at home, and she also sits here."
Li Yougui looked at his wife and his mother, and instantly felt that this felt like home. He also followed Du Chunxia's words and said, "Mom, thank you for your hard work. Mom, please sit down." Then he looked at Da Ya Er Ya beside him, "Da Ya Er Ya" Ya, let me scoop some rice for you."
"Okay." Daya turned around and walked to the kitchen. The meatloaf had been brought to the table, but the rice was still in the pot, waiting for Li Yougui and Du Chunxia to come back before serving it out.
After Da Ya left, Er Ya also followed her to the kitchen. After approaching Da Ya, she whispered: "Sister, what happened to me today?"
After Da Ya came back, Er Ya told Nai that it would be good for her to learn a craft. When she went out, she was ready to come back and be criticized. But when she came back, not only was she not criticized, Nai also asked her how she was doing with her studies. Even now, she said that her father and mother had worked hard, and she also wanted to know what was going on. "I don't know. After we have eaten, we will clear away the dishes and don't wave them in front of her, so as not to make her angry for no reason later." .”
Erya nodded obediently, "Well, I'll eat and then go back to the house to sleep."
The two sisters each brought a bowl of rice to the table. Daya brought the meal to Feng in front of her. At this time, she had already taken a meat pie and was eating it.
Er Yaduan
The remaining ones were delivered to Li Yougui. After the two sisters put down the bowls, they turned around and walked to the kitchen. Du Chunxia shouted to Li Dagang, who also took a meat pie and gnawed it on his hand: "Dagang, you Go and bring the food yourself."
Li Dagang responded obediently: "Okay."
Mrs. Feng stopped her and said, "Da Ya and the others are elder sisters who have to bring it to their younger brothers."
"Mom, he has grown up. He should do his own thing. From now on, the family will still depend on him." Du Chunxia said.
Feng had something on her mind, so she followed her words and said, "That's right. Sooner or later our family will have to rely on a large post to support us. It's time we learn to do something."
Then he said to Li Dagang: "Dagang, your mother is right. Your two sisters are not much older than you. Now they can do everything at home. You should also learn from them."
Li Dagang was still chewing the meat pie in his mouth, and just nodded and said: "Yes."
Du Chunxia hadn't started eating yet. After she finished speaking, she stood up and followed Da Ya Er Ya to the kitchen. When she entered, she asked, "Da Ya, how's your milk doing today?"
Da Ya didn't know, "I don't know either. I went to Aunt Ming to learn embroidery. When I came back, I wasn't angry. She even told my sister that it would be good for me to learn a craft."
"Mom, did I pick up the money? When I came back today, I saw me sitting and playing without scolding me. She even asked my brother what he wanted to eat. My brother said he wanted to eat meat pie, so Nai baked the meat pie and ate it." Erya added .
"Where did your milk go today?" Du Chunxia asked.
"Nai went out for a trip, I don't know where she went." Erya replied.
"Never mind her, it will be easier for us if she does this. As soon as we finish eating, we will take the bowls to the kitchen. I will wash the dishes and you go back to the house." Du Chunxia warned her, knowing very well in her heart, There must be something wrong with Dagang's mother, otherwise she wouldn't be so nice to everyone all of a sudden. If it's something they can't handle, and she turns against her and starts scolding her again, the kids will be spared a beating when they return home. scold.
After the two sisters agreed, Du Chunxia also said to Li Dagang: "Dagang, after dinner, you should go back to the house early to rest."
After giving instructions to the three children, the mothers walked to the front room carrying bowls filled with porridge.
During the meal, Ms. Feng finally asked, "What do you do in the workshop every day?"
Du Chunxia replied first: "I can do everything, chop meat, stir, wash vegetables, and make fire."
"Why are you still doing this? Didn't you say you don't have to cook lunch?" Feng thought she was cooking.
Du Chunxia explained: "Mom, it's not cooking. Aunt Chen and the others are doing the cooking. We just go and eat when it's time."
In order to better manage the workshop, we are not allowed to go home during work. The workshop provides lunch to everyone, and after eating, we can rest in the empty room of the workshop, but we are not allowed to go home even for rest.
Firstly, I am afraid that after everyone gets used to walking halfway, they are afraid that they will not return to the workshop on time to work, and their work style will be unorganized and difficult to manage in the future. What's more, the people in the village are very poor, and they have to save money on food, clothing and other things at home. Providing a free meal to everyone will undoubtedly make them feel that the workshop is good to them and start working. I will be more attentive when I come.
Feng asked again: "You don't cook, so why are you doing this?"
"When making lunch meat, you need to chop the meat into fine pieces, just like making meatballs. You need to chop the meat into fine pieces."
"Let me tell you, why does the lunch meat taste so tender? It turns out that the meat is minced."
After asking that the meat of the luncheon meat should be minced first, he then asked: "But the meatballs we made in the past are not like the luncheon meat made at home. Don't the meatballs fall apart as soon as they are boiled in water? Why are they? It’s cooked, why didn’t the meat fall apart?”
"It's about adding something into it."
Now Feng became more energetic, "What is it?"
"In the past, Aunt Song and Mrs. Chun Lin were preparing the ingredients for the luncheon meat. Now, Aunt Li and Aunt Chen are preparing the ingredients behind closed doors. No one is allowed to enter the house. We don't know what is being added. ." Du Chunxia just said a few words casually as before. She didn't even think that she was specifically asking about luncheon meat, so she always answered truthfully.
"Didn't you say that you were also stirring the meat? You can clearly see everything in the meat." Feng, who didn't know what to do, continued to ask.
"I can also see some things. I can see onions and ginger. I don't know what else is there except onions, ginger and garlic."
Feng knows what the onions, ginger and garlic are used for without asking. Isn't it just to make the minced meat flavorful? She knows this, but what she wants to know more is what is added to the luncheon meat to form it. Yes, it doesn’t taste bad, and it’s very tender. So I encouraged Du Chunxia to inquire about what was added to it. She couldn't make luncheon meat without asking clearly. She couldn't make luncheon meat, so how could she go to the county to sell luncheon meat.
So he continued: "Go and ask tomorrow to see what is added to the minced meat to make the lunch meat tender."
What!
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Du Chunxia was even more surprised than when she just came back and saw her talking and laughing. No wonder she was talking and laughing to them. It turned out that she wanted to inquire about things in the workshop.
However, there are rules in the workshop. You cannot tell anyone what is going on in the workshop, not even to your own family members. What she just said was known to everyone, so she said it. But after asking her to find out what was added to the luncheon meat, she became alert.
She wanted to know why her mother-in-law suddenly asked about this, "Why did mother-in-law suddenly ask about this? Did someone say something to you?"
Feng's answer was more matter-of-fact, saying: "You are kind enough to help them do things, and they certainly shouldn't hide it from you. Otherwise, how would you get things done?"
