Chapter 14
"Mom, he didn't say anything else, he just picked up the eggs and asked me to take care of them." Tang Guo said without blushing despite the scrutinizing gaze.
Song Yingzi and Tang Jiahe looked at each other and let out a breath, "That's good, parents will be relieved. Guoguo, you must not let anyone else know about this except your parents."
What if other people find out and miss Guoguo!
Tang Jiahe seconded the opinion: "Yes, Guoguo, listen to your mother, don't tell anyone else about this."
Tang Guo understood what they were worried about, and nodded in agreement with crooked eyebrows, "Father, mother, I understand."
The Fiber Fungus was very big. Song Yingzi was wondering what to do with it. Tang Guo suggested, "Mom, can we use it to make steamed eggs?"
Song Yingzi thought about it, and it shouldn't be difficult, "I've only made steamed eggs, and I haven't tried adding mushrooms to it, but if Guoguo wants to eat it, Mom, I'll give it a try."
Tang Guo immediately clapped her hands happily, "Mom, you can definitely succeed!"
With the encouragement of the little girl, Song Yingzi also gained confidence. She broke three eggs into a bowl, stirred them, added a little salt, and a small bowl of water. She continued to stir them until they felt almost done. , the water in the pot was boiling, so I put the egg bowl into the pot to steam.
Song Yingzi took the gallinopsis fungus, cut off the rhizomes at the bottom, cleaned the soil at the bottom, tore it open from the middle, and cut a small half into small pieces. After waiting for the egg liquid in the pot to set, she carefully Place on the eggs, cover the pot and continue steaming.
With the remaining half of the chicken fungus, she carefully wiped the moisture from the chicken fungus, found an old and yellowed book, tore off a piece of paper, wrapped the fungus in the paper and placed it in a ventilated place in the kitchen. This will keep it for two or three days and can be saved for next time.
When steaming eggs, you must pay attention to the heat. If the time is too long, the eggs will easily become honeycomb-shaped and taste stale. Song Yingzi picked the time and opened the lid of the pot. The aroma of eggs and the unique umami flavor of gallinobacteria hit her face. Come on, it smells so good!
She carefully held the edge of the bowl with a rag and took it out, "Jiahe, come and eat!"
Tang Guo was not idle either. He picked up a wooden stick to turn over the sweet potatoes in the stove. Tang Jiahe walked over and snatched the stick away. "Here, Dad, if you burn it, it will leave scars."
Tang Guo smiled, she was just a little anxious and wanted to eat early!
Tang Jiahe picked out all the sweet potatoes and peeled one for each of his wife. Song Yingzi took a spoonful of egg custard and fed it to Tang Guo.
Tang Guo looked embarrassed. She was a person in her 20s, and now she had to be fed by others. However, she still couldn't resist the aroma of the gallinopsis, and obediently ate it into her mouth. There was no fishy smell in the tender eggs, and they were so beautiful that she couldn't help but squint her eyes and shrink her neck, "It's so delicious!"
The little girl looked satisfied. Song Yingzi knew that the steamed egg was a success. She took a small bite, held it in her mouth and couldn't bear to swallow it. Guoguo was right, it was really delicious.
Tang Jiahe looked at his mother-in-law eating with a satisfied look on her face, and felt very happy in her heart. He did not touch the bowl of steamed eggs. As a grown man, just eat some sweet potatoes and eat them. Such a delicate thing is good at first glance. thing.
Unexpectedly, Tang Guo dug out a spoonful of eggs and handed them over, "Dad, you eat too!"
Tang Jiahe raised the sweet potato in his hand and said, "Dad, just eat this. You and your mother can eat more to replenish your body."
This man! Song Yingzi glanced at him and said, "I'll give you Guoguo to eat. Just take it. What you saved will be lost in a while, and it will be wasted."
That's right. Tang Jiahe saw the eggs in the spoon trembling and hurriedly handed the bowl over, "Then thank you Guoguo!"
Tang Guo smiled back, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, not to mention how pretty she was.
Only then did the Tang family notice that their daughter, whose chin was pointed a few days ago, had rounded up a lot and now looked like a little baby. He felt even more grateful to the mountain god.
The rain stopped in the afternoon, and when the wind blew, we had to start work again the next day.
Tang Guo planned to keep a low profile these days to avoid being too conspicuous, so when her parents went to work, she just sat nearby and played.
Dapeng and Tang Yishan came to her in a hurry, "Tang Guo, Guo Guo!"
Tang Guo was squatting on the ground watching the ants move when he heard their shouts and stood up, "What's wrong?"
"The cloth bag for changing things is here, let's go see what good things we have!"
"Bag?" What is that?
Dapeng explained: "Bu Bao is the one who comes to exchange things. There are many things in his bag. My mother likes the stinky soap he brings out the most. Let's go and have a look. Anyway, you have nothing to do here."
Change something! This was a new thing. She hadn't seen it before for so long. Tang Guo immediately told her mother and ran away with them.
Song Yingzi also wanted to change something, but they had just been single now, and those eggs had to be beaten from time to time as a sacrifice. Forget it this time, let's wait until the cloth bag comes next time.
From a distance, Tang Guo saw many adults and children gathered together, and their voices could be heard far away.
"Guoguo, I'm not lying to you, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to squeeze in if we get later." Dapeng was eager to join in the fun.
Tang Guo looked at her short legs and there was nothing she could do.
It was Tang Yishan who came up with an idea, "Dapeng, why don't you go over and give Guoguo a place first."
After hearing this, Dapeng's face immediately became serious, "Okay, I'll go there first." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran quickly.
"Ten eggs for one stinky soap! Eight? Eight won't work. I won't do it. Is there anything I can change?"
When Tang Guo took a look, it turned out that the stinky soap in their mouths was the soap they used to wash their clothes later, but it didn't smell that good. It smelled weird, so no wonder it was called stinky soap.
"You've come here today, so you're not exchanging anything. My eggs are big and clean. If you exchange 8 of them for a piece of stinky soap, you won't lose!" Li Fang opened the cloth bag covering the bamboo basket. I'm going to get the stinky soap. Last time I came here, I exchanged 6 eggs for a piece of stinky soap. It was really bad.
The bag suddenly hit her hand, and she said in an unhappy tone, "What! What are you doing! Why did you get started! I said 10, just 10. If you don't want to change, just stand over and don't block it. Other aunts and sisters."
Li Fang was a person with a good face, so she quit immediately, "Why did you take advantage of it! Why don't you grab 10 eggs! Last time I came here, I only asked for 6, and this time it's 10. Next time you Is it going to rise again?"
Bu Bao snorted, "When was the last time I came here? Half a year ago! One price at a time! Do you want to change it? If not, go to the other side. Sister, will you change it? This smelly soap is so good, it has a little bit of edge. There's nothing missing, would you like a piece?"
He could only carry 5 pieces of stinky soap at a time, and he had to wrap it up tightly. The smell of stinky soap was too strong. If someone smelled it, if the quantity was small, it could be said that it was brought to relatives, but if the quantity was large, it would be taken away. If caught, he will be in trouble.
Li Fang looked at the piece of stinky soap with hot eyes. She had used the piece of stinky soap at home and only had a little skin left. She had to change it today, but these 10 eggs were too distressing. Since last time When the egg incident happened, the old lady took away one of the chickens in the chicken coop. There were originally two chickens laying eggs, but now there was only one left, so the eggs had to be saved.
"Give me two dollars!" Wang Hua pushed aside the crowd and shouted to the bag.
Dapeng Niang proudly handed the basket of eggs to the cloth bag under the envious eyes of everyone, "20 eggs, no more, no less!"
Li Fang grabbed the basket, frowned and said to Aunt Wanghua: "Auntie Wanghua, 10 eggs! He is obviously killing us, and you just accept it like this? If we don't change, he will definitely come back later." He will let go!"
Bu Bao glanced at Li Fang and went to take the basket with a happy face. He turned his eyes inward and knew that there were exactly 20 eggs. "Auntie is a cheerful person. There are exactly 20 eggs. I will get you some stinky soap right now." ." After saying that, he said to Li Fang with a bad look on his face: "Quickly let go, if this egg is broken, I will ask you to compensate."
Li Fang quickly let go of her hand. She stared at the bag and handed the smelly soap to Aunt Wanghua. Aunt Wanghua gave a piece to Dapeng Niang and kept a piece for herself.
Wang Hua is a discerning person. She will never make things difficult for herself. Farmers' clothes get dirty quickly. If there is no smelly soap, the clothes will not be washed out, and it will take time and fabric. These 20 eggs are just a temporary stop to the adult's eggs. As long as her grandson's eggs are taken care of, she will be fine!
"Grandma, can you lend me 10 eggs?" The soft voice was difficult to hear in the noisy environment, but Li Fang is now particularly sensitive to Tang Guo's family. When she took a look, it turned out to be Tang Guo's cheap one. Girl.
"Borrowing eggs? You don't even have a chicken at home, what can you give me back?" Li Fang made a comparison in her mind and felt superior again.
Tang Guo ignored her and looked at Aunt Wang Hua with her round eyes, "Grandma, is that okay?"
Wang Hua looked around, but didn't see Guo Guo Niang. She bent down and asked, "Guo Guo, what do you want 10 eggs for?"
Li Fang snorted disdainfully, "What else can I do? I must buy snacks. Guoguo is such a kid, and Yingzi doesn't know how to teach him. Even if it's delicious, he still wants to cheat. It's really outrageous."
When Wang Hua heard this, she frowned displeased. She raised her body and looked at Li Fang, "Have you changed yet?"
Li Fang didn't notice that there was something in her words, and said seriously: "Aunt, they don't even have chickens at home, where do the eggs come from? You must not listen to this girl's words. Song Yingzi didn't even come to change things today. What does that mean, they don't have any eggs."
Wang Hua was about to speak when she realized that someone had hooked her finger. She lowered her head and saw Tang Guo looking at her intently, her eyes black and white, "Grandma, when I get the smelly pancreas home, I will give you the eggs." return."
Dapeng also came to speak to Guoguo, "Grandma, just agree to Guoguo. Later I will dig up more earthworms in the mountains and feed them to the chickens. I will try to make the chickens fat and lay eggs every day."
Dapeng's mother was amused by her son's words, but she remembered how Guoguo led Dapeng to catch a wild rabbit, and said: "Mom, that wild rabbit..."
The author has something to say: I don't know if you have ever smelled stinky soap. It is also called stinky soap in some places. It is yellow and looks like dry tofu.
