Gu Jinxiu also made a pillow out of burlap and spread it out on the bench, Jiang was very surprised when he saw the picture of the farmer smoke on the pillow: "This picture is very well embroidered, Jiang said, even more beautiful than flowers . "
He had seen many embroidery plums, crabapples, and lotuses, but he had never seen a picture of farmhouse smoke embroidered on a rough cloth.
In this picture with a large plate, there is a small courtyard embroidered with smoke from the chimney; a crowed rooster stands on the fence of the farmhouse; under the fence there was a hen with a group of chicks digging the ground for food; in the distance was the farmland, and furthermore was the forest and mountains.
Looking at this image, Jiang Shi seemed to be in the scene in the picture, and his entire heart felt refreshed.
Hearing the praise, Gu Jinxiu lowered his head with a reddened face, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare food to entertain the Shang Xiucai family.
Gu Jinli said: "This is embroidered by my older sister, and there is another one that is more beautiful. When Aunt Shang comes back, I'll bring you that embroidered drawing." Gu Jinxiu liked to embroider items, and originally planned to sell them for money
., but now that his house was busy, he did not have time to embroider, so he only embroidered five small drawings, three of which were used as pillows and placed on a bench, so he only embroidered five small pictures, three of which were used as pillows, one was hung in the main room for decoration, and another one was placed in their room.
Jiang Shi was delighted, and immediately agreed: "Then Auntie will accept it."
Jiang Shi did not refuse, he knew that if he refused, he would push the relationship between the two families even further, not to mention that he really liked this embroidery.
After a while, Gu Jinxiu walked in with a tray, and brought a plate of spiced fried tofu, a plate of bean dregs cake, three bowls of sweet bean curd, and a pot of hot soy milk.
"Shang Xiucai, Madame Shang, come and sample our handmade snacks." The third granny greeted Shang Xiucai and his wife, with a slightly embarrassed face, and said: "The people of this country don't have good treats for you to entertain, so don't hate them."
Shang Xiucai said: "Third Aunt is joking, knows you are selling well in the city, and many people can't afford it if they want to eat it. We're lucky today."
He also said: "The third aunt can call me Wenyuan, but I can call my wife Wenyuan." Wenyuan was the word for Shang Xiucai.
The third grandmother was a straightforward person, and she said casually: "Okay, then the old woman will help you, and I will call you Wenyuan and Wenyuan's daughter-in-law from now on." Jiang nodded with a smile,
take the initiative to take a bowl of sweet tofu, and ask: "What is this?" Whahuh? Looks like half-frozen ice and snow, which is very pretty." Warung knows Gujia doesn't seem to sell this kind of food stuff.
Gu Jinli said: "This is the bean curd, which was made before tofu was formed. Sweet, soft and refreshing, and very suitable for women and children." I took a spoonful with a wooden spoon and ate it
. Curd beans melted in my mouth, with a slight sweetness, very good taste: "It's really delicious. I've lived half my life, and I've never eaten such a soft and delicate meal. " Mom, mom, mom,
you want to eat, you want to eat." Yuan Yuan continued to look up and wanted to eat for a long time. Hearing what Jiang said, he could not help but say it.
"You voracious little cat." Jiang smiled and took a spoonful of tofu to feed him. Yuan Yuan fell in love with her as soon as she ate it, after eating a bowl of sweet chickpeas, she
still screaming to eat: "Mother, I want to eat more." Gu Jinli said: "Yuan Yuan, there are better things to eat later. You're eating too much now, and you won't be able to eat well for a while. " "really? Is there anything better than sweet bean curd ?" Yuan Yuan asked with wide almond eyes, and could not help but swallow. Gu Jinli held back a smile, this little doll is still a culinary lover. She said: "Yes, there will be something better later, which is much better than sweet curd." " Wow ~" Yuan Yuan's eyes sparkled, and he immediately said: "Then Yuan Yuan won't eat it, go ahead with it." Better to eat with the stomach." While speaking, Lao Luo, Ah Jiu, and Tao Zi moved the thank-you gifts they had brought to the courtyard.
The Shang family delivered many items, including six rolls of cotton cloth, a bag of white rice, a bag of white flour, a piece of pork, four live chickens, two egg baskets, a bottle of wine, a bottle of meat oil, and a bag of meat, two-starch sugar, two-starch salt, two fresh saucepan, two large iron pans half a meter in diameter, a complete set of farming tools, and wheels.
The third grandfather and the others were very surprised when they saw so many items in the courtyard, cloth, vermicelli, meat and vegetables were fine, but two large iron pots, the entire farm equipment, were fine, and the wheel is completely broken.
Two large iron pots cost at least eight silver burrows, and the entire set of farming implements, other than shovels, hoes, axes and sickles, had nothing in them, there was also an iron plow, which cost at least fifteen taels of silver, and then there's the wheels.
Other than the mules and horses pulling the carts, the most valuable part of the cart was the wheels, which cost ten taels of silver on the market.
Shang Xiucai said: "Sister Gu, Xiaoyu you saved my family Yuanyuan. This is life. No matter how much we give, it's nothing. You can take it calmly. If you don't receive this gift, the future of our husband and wife will be ruined." I don't have a face to go to your house."
"It's..." Gu Dashan was very embarrassed. Third grandfather
said: “Receive it, this is Wen Yuan's wish.
wheeled, they can make a cart, in the future there is no need to bring tofu to the city, can be pulled directly by a cart.
After hearing this, Gu Dashan stopped insisting, and after thanking Shang Xiucai, he received the generous gift.
“Hey, third uncle and third aunt, why are there so many items on this page?” Chen's high-pitched voice came, and he carried a basket containing two cabbages and some eggs inside, and brought Gu Dexing, Gu Yumei, Gu Dewang, Gu Defa came to the door.
Madam Chen is an acquaintance. After saying this, he looked at Shang Xiucai and his wife, and immediately said, "This is Shang Xiucai and Madam Shang, right? Look at this, it looks like an official family, different from us farmers."
She also praised Shang Yuanyuan: "This little doll is the daughter of the Xiucai Master family. I also saw it at the Lantern Festival. It hurts so much." After Chen finished speaking, he pushed Gu Dexing and Gu Dewang, saying:
" This is my oldest nephew and eldest son. Both were educated and educated when they were in their hometowns. Today I brought them by the cheek, and I want Shang Xiucai to give a hint to see if I can open their door. Chief Yumu, also went to test the fame and return."
If he had just escaped starvation, Chen would not have dared to have such an idea, but now he was making a living by knowing and making money, he said, so she had become the wife about Gaoming In her dream, she wanted to let Gu Dexing and Gu Dewang study with Shang Xiucai for free, and after a few years of studying, she wanted to let Gu Dexing and Gu Dewang study with Shang Xiucai for free, they would also take the exam to return as scholars, so that he could be amazing.
The third granny was furious when she heard Chen's words, she smiled at Shang Xiucai: "Wen Yuan, don't pay attention to him, he's here to help cook."
Drawn into the kitchen, Madam Chen did not make a fuss, continuing to wink at Gu Dexing and Gu Dewang, telling them to ask Shang Xiucai for advice.
As for Gu Yumei, it was brought to curry favor with Madam Xiucai In short, one or two of them had to work harder for her, so don't waste this great opportunity.
Gu Dashan was extremely embarrassed, looking at Shang Xiucai in an apologetic and anxious tone, afraid that he would blame him.
Shang Xiucai did not care, but said: "It turns out that you have learned, which is rare. Go inside the house, and I'll test you at school. "Gu Dexing
very pleased, and pulled Gu Dewang into the room with Shang Xiucai.
Gu Jinan also walked in, holding the essay of a thousand characters he had written all night up his sleeve.
