One hundred and seventieth chapter return gift
Many people secretly laughed at A Yao as stupid as it was not worth it to spend a lot of money on the birthday of a woman who "don't want" her.
Her stomach was filled with sour bubbles, and she was jealous of the gifts she gave. From a glance, she showed the Rongfang gift box and the cloth. A Yao had more family background than they thought.
Some people are active.
In the yard, the green leaves of osmanthus trees cover up the poisonous afternoon sunshine. Basins of ingredients are placed on the ground next to the stone table. Those are millet, mung beans, soybeans, and rosy salted duck egg yolks. The bean paste that is boiled into fine gauze is covered with tofu cloth, and rice dumpling leaves, thin ropes, etc. are placed in the basket.
Aunt Yu Niang and Wang came to A Yao to wrap rice dumplings. A Yao also wrapped them alone. Two more people could chat and happily agreed.
They sat down and looked up and saw a green field. A Yao built bamboo fences and trellis. The fences attracted loofahs. After a sudden rain, they climbed the bamboo fences wildly. Light yellow flowers bloomed among the green leaves, and the trellis attracted grapes. It has not yet produced any fruit, and only a few leaves have grown, but it has become the favorite place for puppies. Big dogs prefer to enjoy the cool under the osmanthus tree.
The wind blows brings a little water vapor, which comes from the backyard pond. There are several moss-covered rocks in the middle of the pond, and there are a pavilion the size of a palm on it. The lotus leaves in the pond are not big, and the big white geese swim around the rocks, like patrolling the territory.
"Your home is getting more and more beautiful." Yu Niang exclaimed sincerely, "It looks pleasing to the eye and is very well taken care of."
"Thank you." A Yao smiled and bent her eyes, learning from Yu Niang's technique to make rice dumplings.
Yu Niang made zongzi neatly, and when a few rounds of ropes wrapped the zongzi tightly without revealing a single grain of rice, it was completed in a few seconds.
Aunt Wang and Yu Niang were chatting, and A Yao was mostly listening. She was not very good at wrapping rice dumplings and was still in the early stages, so she had to practice more. As they were chatting, they couldn't help but talk about A Yao's gifts. The person involved was by his side. Mrs. Wang was embarrassed and stopped talking.
A Yao raised her head: "My sister left the money to her. I am only responsible for conveying my thoughts and giving it to Buddha through flowers."
She said half true and half falsely. Aunt Wang and Yu Niang believed it. When she heard her mention her sister, she asked again: "Have your sister not come to you yet?"
She shook her head.
For fear of causing A Yao to be sad, Aunt Wang comforted her and talked about the wrapping of rice dumplings. There are long tubes, cow horns, four corners and five corners. The rice dumplings for children are hung up small triangular rice dumplings, a string of five, which can be carried and played with. Different fillings can be wrapped in the rice dumplings.
A Yao was so focused that she heard it, her ears moved, and she hesitated: "Is someone calling me?"
Aunt Wang and Yu Niang listened carefully for a while: "It seems yes, go out and have a look."
The three of them walked outside and saw a ox cart coming towards them. There were five ox carts in total. The front was a variety of boxes, followed by cloth, and the last three were a few large water tanks, and it was hard to tell what was placed inside.
"God, who's the betrothal gift?" The neighbors around came out to watch the fun.
The leader trotted a few steps and came to A Yao: "Is it a girl Yaozhu? I'm from Fuhai Escort Agency and was entrusted by Wangyue to bring the goods to you. Please show your certificate."
A Yao opened her mouth. Not long after she gave her gift, Master Wangyue returned the gift so quickly? No, Fuhai's journey to the capital was long, and this should not be a gift. Thinking of the certificate, she quickly took out the token she carried with her, compared the head of the ward, confirmed it was correct, and gave A Yao the letter and list to her for acceptance.
Aunt Wang pulled Yu Niang under the trench: "In the future, when I heard those people outside say that Yaozhu is not as painful as mother-in-law, don't talk. Her mother has prepared so many things for her in Fuhai. I took a look at the fabric and found that it was all good materials. How many summer and winter clothes can be made, it can be seen that she is a person who is interested."
"Well, I will pay attention." Yu Niang nodded.
A Yao took a look at the list and found that the three tanks of water were filled with seafood, two tanks of shellfish, one tank of fish, and one truck of dry goods, including octopus, oyster, drum, mussel, seaweed, keratin, shrimps, as well as oyster sauce, corned milk, salt, brown sugar, and even a pack of special seasonings and snacks such as rock sugar. A truck of fabrics, and the car at the front included pearls and pearl powder, which came from a foreign country. After the second production of Wangyue, the tiger-head hat and colorful luozi, these two were specially used for her to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
[I already know about bird's nest. She is strong by nature and can't even pull back ten cows. She can take good care of herself. You are often at home without knowing the world. You are smart, timid, 3 brute force, and 5 nullity. This makes me feel most at ease. Fortunately, the accommodation I chose this time is still good. Make friends with neighbors and get along well. Distant relatives are not as good as neighbors. I can feel at ease with them if they take care of them. You can choose one or two fish from the tank to give them. In addition, you continue to do it. Cooking skills can make perfect, and you can learn new things. Don't waste it. When you are on your birthday, I will come here to host and dress up for you. Then I will take the test for your homework.
A Yao's eyes were flushed when she looked at the letter by Wangyue. She turned to the second page and choked speechlessly.
She was very moved when the hairpin arrived. It would be even better if there was no exam!
She opened the letter and turned her back. Aunt Wang and Yu Niang didn't want to disturb A Yao when they saw this, "Let's go back first."
"Hey. Aunt Wang, Yu Niang, etc." A Yao raised her head and blinked her eyes, turned around and called them to stay. She caught two sea fish from the kitchen water tank and put them on a hemp rope: "My mother specially ordered these two fish to give to you. Thank you for your care. You can take them back for braised or dried fish, and leave them for later consumption. Sea fish live in the sea water. Never raise them with well water. They will die soon if they cannot adapt."
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Aunt Wang and Yu Niang said, after A Yao repeatedly persuaded him, he finally said that the fish was tortured to death by us. I will take it back and exchange it for you two lively ones. Then they hurriedly took the fish home to add food.
There are still many good people in this world, and A Yao stood at the threshold and saw them off.
Aunt Wang is, Yu Niang is, and so is Sun Niang, who is fighting for her to enter the Dragon Boat Festival cooking exchange. Most neighbors on this street nodded; Mo Xingle, who helped her, and Pei Shuo, who deepened her bonds. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet a good person with kind thoughts.
The sea fish and shellfish they sent were invited to eat.
When he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and Wu Xingle came to the door: "Little Yaozhu, do you have time in the evening of the Dragon Boat Festival? I want to invite you to my house for a Dragon Boat Festival banquet."
"Okay, please come in and talk about it in detail."
...
Dragon Boat Festival.
Early in the morning, A Yao came to Sun Niang's Foot Shop.
Li Gang and Li Rou prepared the loads. They steamed all kinds of rice dumplings and put them into the casserole. At that time, a load was a small stove and a casserole on one side, and the rice dumplings on the other side. When the customer needed it, they would warm it up again. Li Rou also had to carry the loads. Her load was relatively lighter, including teapots and small tea bowls, and several bags of A Yao's special osmanthus black plums. Put half a piece of brown sugar and rinse it with hot water to make a bowl of osmanthus black plum soup.
Sun Niang: "I'll let Song Fang go with you two."
Li Gang: "No need for the boss lady. Li Rou and I can be busy. Let's not talk about it. We have to set off quickly. If we are late, we will not be able to occupy a good location near the well."
"It's still early now, I'll go with them to take a look, and then I'll go to the government office again." A Yao's proposal was recognized by the boss's wife.
