Chapter 9


Master Zhou sighed: What did Yang Tongsheng say, Ah Xi sent my little grandson several times sewn small clothes, look good, I will give you how can I ask for your money.Yang Ye realized it later, he said that he sometimes got off work late these days, and Master Zhou hadn't left yet, so he was waiting for him, and he turned his head to look at the teenager who was operating in the dark.Ah Xi's face was flustered, but he didn't expect Master Zhou to say this matter in a straightforward manner, he was a little weak and didn't dare to look at Yang Ye.Master Zhou is also sharp-eyed, looking at the atmosphere between the two, he knows that he is too talkative, and sighs with a smile: The relationship between the two of you is really good.Ah Xi's head was buried deeper.Yang Ye chuckled, there was nothing on his face, but his heart was already warm, and no matter how hard-hearted people were so considerate, he had to be touched.Do you also embroider?

Seeing that he didn't mean to blame, Ah Xi nodded.Yang Ye said again: You know a lot of things, go back and show me what you embroidered, is it done?

Good.Two days later, the day of Xu Qiuhe's marriage came, and Yang Ye specially took a day off to go with Ah Xi to see Xu Qiuhe.Xu Qiuhe's house was originally remote, there were no people to watch the excitement, and the marriages were only Ah Xi and Yang Ye, but it also saved a lot of trouble.Ah Xi accompanied Xu Qiuhe to talk in the house, and Yang Ye did not disturb the two of them after greeting him, and waited outside the house alone.After Xu Qiuhe's illness recovered, his complexion improved a lot, and he met the second spring of his life, changed into a new set of red clothes, and made up again, which looked bright and moving, although it was not as cowardly as the daughter who married for the first time, but it was a rare charm.After a while, Yang Ye saw a man with well-developed tendons and flesh pulling a cart from a distance, looking at a brand-new outfit, followed by a matchmaker and a few people who greeted him, he entered the house shortly: People are coming.Ah Xi hurriedly put a hijab on Xu Qiuhe and slowly helped people outside the house.The three of them waited side by side outside the house, watching the people who greeted them.Yang Ye glanced at Ah Xi, afraid that he would be reluctant to let Xu Qiuhe be sad, but who knew that the young man lowered his head and couldn't look at his expression.He deliberately buried his head to look at Ah Xi, and said in a low voice: Why do you always keep your head down and don't look at your uncle?

Ah Xi glanced at Yang Ye with slanted eyes: I, I've seen my uncle.Then don't hang your head, as if you're afraid of life.Wu Qiuhe, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two, moved his body, and was about to say something when he heard steady footsteps approaching.The marriage procedure of ordinary people in the township is simple, the person who greets the relatives came forward to give Ah Xi and Yang Yexi money, the matchmaker said auspicious words, but the groom official Orion was silent, but he said to Ah Xi that he would take good care of Xu Qiuhe.After Orion approached, Yang Ye looked at the figure of the person who looked more burly than he looked at from afar, two inches taller than him, and his high eyebrow bones were full of sharpness, this man with this appearance was not pleasing in the countryside, he looked like a living Shura, many people were afraid to look at it, Orion hunted wild things all year round, with the smell of blood on his body, and there were few words, so no one dared to say that he married his daughter and brother, and Orion was also thirty for this reason.Yang Ye didn't have the prejudices of those villagers, but felt that this Orion was safe and a capable person, and Xu Qiuhe was very discerning.Ah Xi nodded, and was about to lead Xu Qiuhe to the cart, but Orion actually picked up Xu Qiuhe by the waist, and put the person on the cart in a few big steps.The matchmaker smiled and said: Ouch, look at our groom and the official can't wait!

A group of people laughed, and Xu Qiuhe under the hijab made a red face, but no one saw it.People came and went, and after a short period of bustle, the house here returned to tranquility, and it was completely empty.Ah Xi said to go in and pack some things, Yang Ye waited outside, but after a quarter of an hour no one came out, he looked in, and saw the young man sitting quietly on the bench, slightly hunched back, in the simple home, looking very sad.He called softly: Ah Xi.......

Ah Xi raised his head when he heard the sound, and the two lines of tears also seemed to be frightened, and suddenly slipped to his chin, he hurriedly wiped it with the back of his hand, and quickly stood up: I, I......

Yang Ye's heart seemed to be twisted by someone, he held the back of Ah Xi's head and took the person into his arms, he really couldn't bear to look at the little face with tears: If you miss your aunt in the future, you will go to the next village to see her, and often invite her to your home as a guest, and it is only a few miles to the left and right, don't be sad.He can understand Ah Xi's mood, although he is not Xu Qiuhe's own child, but the two have a good relationship, and now Xu Qiuhe has remarried, that is, the daughter-in-law of another family, this side is empty and nagging, Ah Xi goes back to her parents' house and no one receives her, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she is still very dependent on people, and Ah Xi has a docile and delicate personality, how can she not think about it and not be sad.I saw that the dates in the village were ripe, and many villagers began to pick them and sell them in the county seat.Do you want to do it for me?

Yang Ye looked down and saw tears on Ah Xi's long eyelashes, and sniffed lightly, the tip of his red nose moved with the agitated wings of his nose, which was strange and pitiful.He nodded seriously: Well, I'll do it for you.The dates in September have ripened in a big way, and the children have already tasted the freshness, and most of the adults who go down to the jujube tree are adults picking jujubes, and the children are most in the fun under the tree.The jujube embellished with cyan and dark red is hung all over the branches, the taste is full and crisp and sweet, and it looks very gratifying, even if the jujube is not much valued, every time the jujube is ripe, the villagers are still very happy to beat the jujube.Yang Ye and Ah Xi picked the dates in the yard first, so as not to knock the dates off when it rained.The jujube tree is not high, after picking all the things that can be picked on the bench, the one that grows at the top will be beaten with a stick, the two cooperate, Yang Ye is responsible for beating, and Ah Xi carries a basket and wears a straw hat to pick it up under the tree, which is a jujube tree, and it is enough to harvest a small half basket.Ah Xi had a smile on his face, and he asked with dates: Do you want to sell it?

A few days ago, there were villagers selling dates in the county, and Sister-in-law Yang picked some dates to sell when she had nothing to do, I heard that this year's dates are still prosperous, and fresh dates cost four dollars a pound, but the price was a little higher when it first started to sell fresh, and now it is estimated that it will fall to three dollars a pound, and it is okay, it is not worth it and has sold two dollars in those years.Yang Ye has no time to sell dates if he wants to go to work, if he lets Ah Xi go, his tongue is inconvenient, and he must have to suffer grievances, and he can't let the young man suffer these things.You don't have to sell it.He was going to wait for the dates to dry and make date cakes.Ah Xi heard him say that it will be useful in the future, and he wants to dry and store the dates, so he doesn't ask much, and obediently puts the dates into the big round dustpan where he dried the beans before and spreads them out evenly to dry.If you have free time, you can go to the date tree where you don't belong and pick more dates and come back.Good.After picking up the dates, it was already Shenshi, the weather in September was not as hot as before, Yang Ye said that he wanted to make delicious food for Ah Xi, and walked around the house, there was nothing suitable, if he went to the county seat to buy it now, it would be too late, and finally he stopped at the beans that he had recovered from the field before.Ah Xi went into the house and saw him holding beans, and asked, "Do you want to sell the beans?"

The sister-in-law's family is in the tofu business, and first, people will usually come over there to collect it.There are a lot of people who do tofu business in the Daji Dynasty, it can be said that the popularity is wide, the people are sought after and love this delicious and nutritious small square, and the production process of tofu is cumbersome, so the price is not close to the people, and two pieces of tofu will be sold for five yuan.Yang Ye knew that Wu Yonglan's mother's family was in the tofu business, but the Wu family had many children, Wu Yonglan was the third, with older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, and the children in the middle were not many conspicuous, and Wu Yonglan was going to marry into the Yang family at that time, and the Wu family was not satisfied, so the relationship between the two families was not close, except for harvesting beans every year, there was almost no contact on weekdays.Don't sell it, keep it for you.Ah Xi wondered: Do you know how to make tofu?

This craft can only be passed down from family to family.Of course, Yang Ye also knows that the so-called craftsmanship is actually the secret kung fu of salt brine, and there is no public sale on the market in recent years, and those who do tofu business can continue to do business by holding this point.Do not make tofu.If you don't have salt brine at home, it's hard to get it, so simply save the steps after putting salt brine and make some other soy products.The two took three catties of beans and went to the public mill in the village to grind the beans into powder, one catty of beans and five catties of water, and the bean powder was boiled and filtered to filter the slag and filter out the soybean milk.Yang Ye poured a cup of soy milk and tasted it, generally soy milk will add some sugar to taste, but the sugar is expensive, there is no preparation at home, although there is no sugar, but there is no added soy milk taste is also unique, the taste of soy milk is very pure.Hot, you taste it too.Ah Xi took a cup and took a sip, this cup of soy milk costs a bowl of one or two pennies in the county.Yang Ye poured the filtered soybean milk back into the pot, added a fire to the stove to boil the soybean milk, and then turned off the fire, with the placement, the thick soybean milk will slowly condense into a layer of bean skin, at this time use chopsticks to pick up from the edge of the pot, and dry the bamboo pole prepared in the morning, but the small half of the fresh and tender bean curd with a strong bean flavor becomes.Chapter 14 Yang Ye just did it in front of Ah Xi, and then Ah Xi got started, the two cooperated, and at night there were several poles of yuba hanging in the yard, and three catties of beans could make about one and a half catties of finished products, which was not bad.The soy milk in the pot bottomed out, Yang Ye let go and let Ah Xi continue to do it alone, and went to the small courtyard by himself.Most of the farmer's yards are well cleaned, but whenever a person comes into the door, the first thing they see is the yard, which is a small façade of a family, and the quality of the yard handling can reflect whether the woman and brother of the family are virtuous and capable.With Ah Xi here, their small yard is naturally not bad, small vegetables, melons and fruits are planted, two rows of peppers grow very well, green and red intersect, Yang Ye has long noticed.He picked a handful of chili peppers and went into the house to wash and chop them, cut some green onions, ginger and garlic, cut off the finished yuba and mixed it cold, beat two eggs to make yuba egg soup, and after Ah Xi finished all the soy milk, dinner was ready.Yuba does not exude a great aroma like boiled fish, but it tastes delicate and delicious, and the flavor is even worse with chili ingredients.Try it and see if it suits your liking.Yang Ye asked the young man to move the chopsticks first, Ah Xi lowered his eyelashes slightly, moved his hand, first clamped a piece into Yang Ye's bowl, and then tasted it himself.When you enter your mouth, it is full of bean fragrance, soft and tender, and Ah Xi's eyes widen in amazement.The same food made of beans, this is very different from the taste of tofu and bean curd, although he hasn't eaten tofu for a long time, but he still remembers the taste of tofu, compared to the two soy products, he prefers to eat this made by Yang Ye, but although the cold salad is refreshing, it is a little spicy, and he moved a few more chopsticks with his greedy mouth, and his face was a little spicy and red.Yang Ye saw that he was clearly spicy and couldn't stop his mouth, so he knew that this yuba was to his liking, so he smiled and poured a glass of cold water and put it over: Next time, I will put less chili peppers.Ah Xi stopped the chopsticks embarrassedly and picked up the cup: I, I can't eat spicy food, but I think this mix is better than tofu.If you love to eat, it will be in vain, and it will be in vain for so many hours, and Ming'er will send some to the eldest brother.Yang Ye sandwiched a chopsticks and egg flower yuba into the Ah Xi bowl: It's not spicy to cook, eat this.Ah Xi raised his long eyebrows but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: Well, you eat too.The next day, after Yang Ye went to work, Ah Xi put away the yuba that had dried overnight and carefully stored it in a dry place, for fear of bumping and damaging the shape of the yuba, and for fear of dampness.Later, he was about to send a basket of yuba to the old house, but Sister-in-law Yang came over instead.Wu Yonglan brought some eggs over, they have three hens over there, and they are all laying eggs now, or they will be able to save one or twenty in a few days.Ah Xi would steam a bowl of egg custard for Yang Ye with rice soup every morning, and the eggs at home were just used up.Wu Yonglan accepted the yuba given by Ah Xi, twisted one into her hand, and pinched the dry one, she didn't see what it was: where did it come from?

How do you eat?

This is dried, soaked in warm water, boiled, fried and mixed.Ah Xi introduced Wu Yonglan according to what Yang Ye said.Wu Yonglan didn't see that there were so many gadgets in the basket, and she smiled: Yes, I'll fry a bowl of bacon at noon today, the second brother is not at home, you go over and eat with us, and you can save the fire.Ah Xi hurriedly waved his hand: No, no.The matter of adding a pair of chopsticks to the left and right, our own family, polite.Wu Yonglan hung the basket on her wrist and called Ah Xi over.When I arrived at the old house, Ah Xi knew that there was a guest at my sister-in-law's house today.He stepped into the courtyard and saw a sturdy man and Yang Cheng pretending to be dried dates, and heard Wu Yonglan say that he was a friend who ran with Yang Cheng, he glanced at it, and the man happened to look over, and he hurriedly followed Wu Yonglan into the stove room.Zhao Yong poked Yang Cheng with his elbow: Eh, who is that brother?

Are you a relative or a folk?

Yang Cheng grabbed the dates: What's the matter?

Zhao Yong joked: It's so handsome!

Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows: That's my brother-in-law, don't make any strange ideas.Sister-in-law?

Zhao Yong repeated, his tone was surprised and slightly disappointed: Is it your child brother?

Yang Cheng responded.The two of them were busy in the stove room, Wu Yonglan cut a piece of bacon, boiled some hot water and washed it, the bacon has been smoked for a long time, it looks black and swarthy, but the taste inside is not fragrant after washing.The peasant family more or less loves to smoke some bacon, bacon is stored for a long time and delicious, is a must for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and when the family visits, get a piece or stir-fry or boil, it is an excellent dish to entertain people, not only their own feel that they have noodles, the visitors also feel very valued, so when there is more money, everyone likes to smoke more.Ah Xi helped Wu Yonglan light the fire, and soaked the yuba in warm water with his empty hands.Wu Yonglan didn't know that Ah Xi would send yuba, she originally planned to fry bacon with green onions, the fragrance could float out far away, others knew that their family was prosperous, but this year, the bacon at home was less smoked, she didn't dare to take too much bacon to entertain guests, and only cut a piece as big as a palm.It's already very good to be able to use bacon to entertain people, and it's not even a good idea to have a full meat tube, everyone knows it, but in the end, I'm still afraid that the fried onions will be too little when they are plated, and I'm not too embarrassed to serve them on the table.After the yuba is soaked, it looks very heavy, unlike the green onion fried Yan'er will become less, she also wants to taste the strange yuba, but she still has no bottom in her heart, worried that the yuba will spoil the taste of meat, after all, there is very little meat at home.Is this stuff delicious?

What does it taste like?

Ah Xi replied: The taste is very, very good, some of the taste of tofu.Wu Yonglan couldn't eat a lot of tofu before she got married, and the bad tofu at home was their mouth, and she had eaten tofu fried bacon a few times, and she was still hungry for the taste.Ah Xi was not idle, learning from Yang Ye's ingredients for mixing yuba yesterday also mixed a plate of cold yuba, last time he had dinner with Wu Yonglan and his family, he knew that the two of them liked spicy, and they were also very spicy, and they should like the cold yuba very much.After cutting the chili pepper, his hands were very spicy, he went to the water tank outside to scoop some water to wash his hands, and he could smell the fragrant fried bacon through the wall.The two men who were busy outside the house subconsciously stretched their necks and glanced at the stove room, Zhao Yong said enviously: Your daughter-in-law is really good at cooking, it's really fragrant, and when I finish this delivery, I will also ask the matchmaker to tell me a daughter-in-law at the end of the year.
