Chapter 37 The face is not ashamed

  As the old lady selling hairpins said, the styles are really good.

   are the shapes of various flowers and birds.

  It looks simple and elegant.

   got closer, and seemed to smell the fragrance of Sophora japonica.

   "Is this made of locust wood?"

  Joe picked up a hairpin with a jasmine pattern, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.

   "Girl has good eyesight. This is indeed made of locust wood. The locust wood is strong and durable."

  The old grandma said with a smile.

   "How do you sell them?"

   "Five coins for a piece, you can choose whatever style you like."

   "I buy four, can you send me one?"

  Thinking about the twenty coins left in his pocket, Qiao Yi could only open his mouth to bargain.

   "Okay, if you buy a lot, I'll give you one."

  The old lady was still smiling.

   "Thank you."

   Qiao Yi smiled and thanked, and finally picked five hairpins engraved with plum blossoms.

  Then counted twenty papers and handed them to the grandmother.

  Put the five hairpins carefully into his bosom, actually put them into the space.

   Only then did he feel relieved and walked towards the city gate.

   Touching his already hungry stomach, Joey sighed.

  Without the broken silver in her hands, she couldn't buy anything to eat.

  The pancakes she brought in the morning were eaten by her on the way.

   I had no choice but to take out a few kiwis from the space and eat them while walking.

   Although kiwi fruit can't fill you up, it's better than starving, isn't it?

  The way back was much easier than when we came.

  Joy is relaxed and walks quite fast.

  Even so, Joey had been gone for several hours.

   At the turning point more than 100 meters away from his home, Joey took out the bought suet, meat, offal, etc. from the space.

  Put everything into the basket for buying meat, and then Joey walked forward slowly.

  As soon as Qiao Yi turned the corner, he saw Mu Xuan sitting on a rock at the bottom of the slope.

  He also holds a coil of thread in his hand, as if he is winding the thread.

(In ancient times, the thread was threaded in strands, just like the thread of cross-stitch. When using it, you have to pull it out one by one in advance, and then wrap it in a piece three fingers wide, half a centimeter thick, and 20 centimeters On a smooth board with a long left and right sides, it will be convenient to use in the future.)

  While winding the thread, don't forget to look back and forth.

   "Xiao Xuanzi, are you waiting for me?"

  Joy yelled shamelessly.

  Mu Xuan was overjoyed when he heard Qiao Yi's voice, and then his ears turned red instantly.

   "You really put gold on your face, who is waiting for you? The scenery here is beautiful, can I stay here for a while?"

   "Okay, the world is so big, you can stay anywhere."

   Qiao Yi didn't expose Mu Xuan, and walked home with a big basket.

  Mu Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to help.

   But when he saw such a big basket, he immediately stopped thinking.

   "Mu Yun, is there anything to eat?"

   Arriving in the courtyard, Qiao Yi put down the basket and went to the stove to find something to eat.

   "There is still a yellow noodle pancake in the pot. You eat it first, and fill your stomach. I will start cooking later."

   "Mu Yun, you and some flour, we'll make dumplings later. I bought a lot of meat."

   Thinking of the hot dumplings, Joey felt even hungrier.

   After eating the palm-sized yellow-noodle pancakes, Joey walked towards the river with the basket in his hand.

   At the same time, he did not forget to talk to Mu Xuan who came from behind.

   "Mu Xuan, take an empty basket and follow."

   Suet and pork belly, as well as pork liver and pig heart are easier to clean.

   But the intestines are not easy to clean.

   Thinking about starting to build the house in a few days, and having to take care of the meal at noon, Joey didn't throw away the intestines this time.

   Instead, it was cleaned seriously.

  She doesn't eat the large intestine because she doesn't like the taste, it's not that the large intestine is not tasty.

  At home, there happened to be Chaotian peppers that she bought a few days ago, and she made a stewed large intestine with oil, and added a little spicy. This is also a famous dish.

   There are also pork lungs, which are also delicious, but she doesn't like the texture.

  This time there is chili pepper, and Joey does not throw away the pork lung, but save it for cold dishes, and then give it to the workers.

  In any case, this is a meat dish, which is full of oil and water, and those who make it should like it.

   "Why did you buy so much meat?"

  Mu Xuan frowned slightly as he saw the basket full of meat.

  The money from selling the roe deer should be spent on meat, right?

"Pork belly is reserved for making dumplings, and this one is boiled in oil. As for the pig's offal, it is given by the stall owner. We will start building a house in a few days. We will serve lunch, and then use lard for cooking, which will be more delicious." It is more fragrant. The workers will be more careful in building houses for us when they are full."

   After Qiao Yi finished speaking, he picked up the two baskets containing the washed pork and walked towards the yard.

   At this time, Mu Yun has reconciled.

   Several people worked together in a division of labor, Qiao Yi boiled the oil, Mu Qing chopped firewood and lit the fire, Mu Xuan chopped the minced meat, and Mu Chen cleaned the jar, waiting for the oil to be ready for use.

  Mu Xuan chopped the minced meat, and Qiao Yi started mixing the stuffing.

   After making the stuffing, Qiao Yi didn't care about it, and continued to concentrate on boiling the oil.

  By the time Mu Yun and the others finished wrapping the dumplings, Qiao Yi had already boiled half of the oil.

  The dumplings are cooked, and Qiao Yi just boiled the last suet.

  Forty-five catties of suet yielded nearly twenty catties of lard.

   Filled two ten-jin jars, and filled another half pot.

   There is also a lot of oil, which weighs more than ten catties.

  Joy was also put into the jar, and also placed in a cool place.

   After everything was taken care of, the few of them started to eat.

   There were so many dumplings that several people couldn't finish them.

  Looking at the four people and one beast who were full, their mouths were full of oil, and they were unwilling to move, Qiao Yi smiled and got up and began to clean up.

  Seeing this, Mu Yun immediately stood up.

   "My wife, let me clean up."

   "It's okay, you guys take a break, I'll just clean it up, and you can wash the dishes later. I'll deal with the remaining pork and internal organs before it's dark, otherwise I won't be able to put it down."

  Mu Yun responded, but did not go to rest, insisting on cleaning up the dishes.

  Joy did not hesitate, and began to process the unfinished meat and internal organs.

  After everything was dealt with, it was dark again.

  Looking at the already dark sky, Joey sighed.

   This time flies so fast, she feels like she hasn't done anything yet, and the day has passed.

  Qiao Yi handed the twenty taels of silver in his hand to Mu Yun, and went to bed without explaining anything.

  She walked so far today, but she was exhausted.

   No, Joey fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

  During sleep, Joey felt the warmth of his calf.

  When I woke up in the morning, my calf didn't hurt at all, but it was very comfortable.

   This made Joey a little confused.

  Can her body recover quickly by itself?

   The doubt in Qiao Yi's heart didn't come to him until he saw Mu Yun's eyes were black and blue.

   Self-healing is impossible, it is very likely that Mu Yun massaged her while she was asleep.

   And it seems that Mu Yun is not the only one. The four brothers of the Mu family all have slightly blue eye sockets.

  Joy saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything, but he had already remembered it in his heart.

   Breakfast was the leftover dumplings from yesterday. After eating, Joey was not idle at all, and began to clean up the weeds around the house.

  If she has enough money, she will build two more rooms, regardless of whether Yueying comes to live or not, she has to prepare for it.

  After all, people have to be trustworthy in what they say and what they pour out.
