Chapter 192 looks like a complaint

   Regarding what Yu Changhe was worried about, Yu Xiaolian was not worried at all. Peppers actually live very well, and peppers are very resistant to cold. It can be said that as long as the land is not too bad, it can survive.

  Yu Xiaolian looked at Sun Fengshou, "Uncle, I asked you to go to the carpenter's shop and get me the plank, have you got it back?"

  Sun Fengshou pointed to the small pavilion outside the house, "I took it back and kept it there!

   It is hard to find a log plank as big as you want. I went to several carpentry shops before I found such a piece for you. "

  Yu Xiaolian nodded. She knew that this kind of original cut wood board was very rare, but the blackboard she got last time was a bit too simple and rough to use.

  The blackboard was made too hastily last time, not to mention the fact that the surface of the board was not polished and smooth, so it was sloppy, so Yu Xiaolian wanted to redo a blackboard so that it would be more comfortable to use in the future.

"I have already asked the carpenter to polish the wooden board according to your instructions. The carpenter said, if you don't like it enough, you can grind it yourself. Just use horsetail grass. I will also bring you horsetail grass. I'm back, but I think I'm naked enough, no barbs at all."

  Yu Xiaolian thanked Sun Fengshou, then got up and went out to look at the board.

  The wood board has been sawed into a square by the carpenter, with a diameter of about 1.2 meters. Yu Xiaolian reached out and touched the board surface, and it was indeed very smooth.

  It can’t be polished any more, if it’s too smooth, it won’t hold the ink, which is just right.

   While it was still dark, Yu Xiaolian immediately began to paint the wood.

  By the afternoon of the second day, Yu Xiaolian had painted the board with ink three times, and the board had changed from an ordinary board to a blackboard that Yu Xiaolian was satisfied with.

  Since they decided to sell the stewed pork recipe, they didn't stock up any more last night, so when Yu Changhe went to the west of the city in the morning, Sun Fengshou was always at the door of the store, explaining to the people who came to buy the stewed meat.

  Many people are very puzzled, this stewed meat shop business is very good, why can't it be opened?

  Sun Fengshou explained that the stewed pork recipe was sold to Meishanlou. If you want to eat braised meat in the future, you can just go to Chengxi Meishanlou to buy it.

  Everyone felt a little regretful, this stewed meat tastes good and is cheap, especially the spicy duck, which tastes better than stewed meat, it is a good dish to go with wine.

  If you go to Meishanlou to buy it, it will not be at this price, it must be much more expensive.

   Some people even thought in their hearts that the Meishan Restaurant used some means to force the Yu family's secret recipe, forcing the Yu family's stewed meat shop to be closed.

  People came in twos and threes, and then dispersed after arguing. Soon the news that Yu's stewed meat shop was ruined spread all over the streets and alleys in the east of the city.

  Yu Changhe came back from the Meishan Building and handed over the one thousand tael silver note to Mrs. Sun.

  The reason why it was one thousand taels was because when Yu Changhe arrived at Zhao’s house, they still wanted the recipe for spicy duck. Yu Changhe said at the time that he wanted two recipes for five hundred taels, which was impossible.

  So the Zhao family became ruthless and bought both prescriptions for one thousand taels.

  After buying Fangzi, the Zhao family suddenly discovered that they didn't have chili peppers, and they didn't know chili peppers. What exactly is it?

  Yu Changhe took out a small net bag of chili peppers that he had prepared in advance, saying that this was the only chili pepper in his family's stock, and he gave it to them for nothing.

   Shopkeeper Zhao asked, where should I buy this chili pepper?

  Yu Changhe said, this thing is from overseas, we don’t have it in Daliang.

  However, his family is trying to grow this thing. If it succeeds, it can be supplied to Meishanlou in the future.

   Shopkeeper Zhao discovered that the chili peppers that Yu Changhe gave him were all empty shells without chili seeds.

This chili is the core of spicy recipes. This small pocket of chili may only be used once or twice. Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly felt that the thousand taels was a bit of a waste of money, but he could do anything. I hope the Yu family can quickly grow the peppers.

Shopkeeper Zhao learned about the delicacy of Yu’s Braised Pork and Spicy Duck through his little grandson. It just so happened that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Beijing was going to hold a gourmet competition. .

   If he wins the first place in this competition, he will be able to host the empress’s birthday for a while. That’s why shopkeeper Zhao has the heart to spend a lot of money to buy this secret recipe, which is supposed to be spicy and spicy.

   It seems that he can't use this idea of ​​chili indiscriminately.

   Mrs. Sun didn't expect that the agreed five hundred taels would turn into one thousand taels in an instant, and immediately praised Yu Changhe.

Yu Changhe just wanted to go to Peach Blossom Village, when he saw the originally clear sky covered with dark clouds, strong winds, and soon it began to rain heavily. Yu Changhe stood under the eaves of the stewed meat shop, thinking that he would not be able to go today .

  Seeing the pedestrians on the street hurrying and panicking, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain, he shouted loudly, "Come, come in here to shelter from the rain..."

  Yu Changhe's voice called out a lot of people in a serious way, and the braised meat shop, which was originally small, was overcrowded for a while.

There are two tables and eight long stools in the stewed meat shop. Yu Changhe greeted the people sheltering from the rain to come in and sit down. Come in, sit down, and wait for the rain to stop."

  Yu Xiaolian prepared all the gifts for Taohua Village Lizheng, but the sudden heavy rain made it impossible to go to Taohua Village.

  After the rain, the road will also condense mud. Who made the current roads all dirt roads? It seems that we have to wait a few days until the sun dries the road before we can go to Taohua Village.

  The rain was too heavy, and the strong wind blew the rain into the store. Yu Xiaolian and Zhao Erya hurriedly installed the door panels to prevent the things in the store from getting wet.

   It was the end of the rain, and after closing the store door in front, Yu Xiaolian and Zhao Erya ran back to the backyard with oil-paper umbrellas.

When passing by the small vegetable garden, Yu Xiaolian saw the chili seedlings she had planted swaying in the wind, and the bean-sized raindrops dropped many pepper leaves, but Yu Xiaolian couldn't care about the pepper seedlings, the wind was too strong, she felt her I can't hold the oil-paper umbrella in my hand.

  Yu Xiaolian and Zhao Erya quickly ran into the room, closed the door, closed the oil-paper umbrella, and leaned against the door.

   Even though it took only two or three minutes to run from the front, the clothes of the two of them were still inevitably wet.

  Yu Xiaolian changed into her pajamas by herself, and found Zhao Erya her clothes, and asked Zhao Erya to change out of her wet clothes.

  Zhao Erya pushed Yu Xiaolian's clothes back, "I don't need to change, I only got wet on one shoulder."

  Yu Xiaolian picked Zhao Erya's clothes with her hands, "I have to change it, it's uncomfortable when it's wet."

  Zhao Erya took a step back, blushing and said, "It's because I have menstruation, so I won't change it..."

  Yu Xiaolian paused for a moment, then remembered that Zhao Erya was two years older than her, and she was thirteen this year.

  Yu Xiaolian asked, "When did you come?"

   Zhao Erya blushed and said, "Last night..."

Yu Xiaolian yelled, "Why didn't you tell me? You can't do any work during the menstrual period, if you are stretched or cold, you can rest in the house when you have the menstrual period in the future, and you don't need any work." Dry."

  Zhao Erya said, "How can I do it? There is so much work in the house, there are clothes to be washed every day, and firewood to be chopped. If you don't let me work, how can I do it?"

  Yu Xiaolian pressed Zhao Erya on the bed, and passed the pajamas over, "You change your clothes first!"

  Zhao Erya awkwardly changed into Yu Xiaolian's pajamas, and when she turned around, there were two extra packs of sanitary napkins in her hand.

   "You put the menstrual belt made of plant ash, right? Don't use it in the future, you use this, it's clean and hygienic, and it's convenient."

  Zhao Erya blushed, "I'd better save this for you to use later..."

   "If you are told to use it, you can use it, why are you talking so much?

Also, I used to ignore the fact that our family has a large population. It is too tiring for you to wash the clothes of a large family by yourself. After a while, I will buy two strong rough women. Do it, you will follow me from now on, and just help me with the shopping and shopping. "

Hearing that she was not allowed to work, Zhao Erya panicked. She always thought that she had to rely on labor for food, and she didn't think washing clothes was such a tiring job. When she was at home, she also washed the clothes of the whole family. Much more than that.

  After washing the clothes, she has to go out to cut pigweed and dig wild vegetables. She does it all day long, and she can't even eat dry food at night.

  Thinking of what she said casually just now, Zhao Erya anxiously wanted to slap her in the mouth. Thinking back to herself, the meaning of what she said just now doesn't sound like a complaint?

   But that’s not what she meant. What she meant was that when she rested, no one would do the work, so she couldn’t rest, and she didn’t need to rest.
