Chapter 578 Peasant Woman 6
Both Da Ya and An Wen were lost in thought, obviously listening to what Tan You said.
Tan You didn’t ask them if they understood, but just carried the few kilograms of pork suet into the kitchen. People in this era may not be able to eat one meal of meat in a month, and Tan You didn't dare to eat big fish or meat for fear of damaging his stomach.
So she planned to take her time, like making some bone broth first? Fortunately, the old Chen family is not so poor that they don't even own a clay pot, otherwise Tan You would really be scolded.
After boiling bone soup in a clay pot, Tan You boiled pork suet in another broken iron pot. If you want the lard fat to be boiled white, you should add water instead of boiling it dry.
It's just that the weather is hot now, so the suet obviously cannot condense.
Daya lit a fire for Tan You, and by the way, told what they did today: "Anwen and I went to Zhuzi's house to exchange for brown rice, and Grandma Zhuzi gave us a small scoop."
Tan You: "We took advantage. When it gets dark, you and Anwen will send two eggs over."
It's not that Tan You is stingy, but eggs are also hard currency in this era. An egg can be sold for a penny. Giving away too many eggs will make them look stupid.
Da Ya nodded: "I know, let An Wen deliver it, I will light a fire for mother."
An Wen squatted in the kitchen: "Aunt, what can I do?"
Tan You glanced at him: "Of course there is time for you to work. Before you find your biological father and mother, the eldest maid will , you and I will learn how to deal with others."
Anwen's heart immediately calmed down: "Okay, aunt, I will. You must study hard."
Tan You nodded slightly: "It's getting late. After delivering the eggs, it's almost time for dinner at home. Do you know what to say outside?" br>
Anwen: "I know, I just said that my aunt took part in your dowry and bought some rice for the family."
"Okay, let's go," Tan You waved his hand, and Anwen ran away with two eggs in his arms.
Erya was a little unhappy: "Mom, can't I be the outsider? Just because Anwen is a boy?"
"Of course not," Tan You laughed: "It's because you are too "You're young, if you want to go out and learn more when you get to Anwen's age, I certainly won't stop you."
"Mom, you are so kind." Erya was happy, as soon as she was happy. Stick it on Tan You.
Tan You pushed her little head: "It won't be good if the oil splashes on you. Take Sanya and play."
Daya held her chin: "Mom, actually we don't need to buy new clothes, we can make them ourselves."
Tan You glanced at her: "I want to make money, so I don't have time to do it."
She can make clothes, but that is only if she has modern tools such as sewing machines. If you ask Tan You to sew buttons, that's absolutely fine, but if you ask her to make clothes, Tan You really doesn't want to do it.
Da Ya: "I..."
"You are too young," Tan You pressed down her thoughts mercilessly: "When we make money in the future, find someone else to do it. .You have to know that we don’t know how much money we make during this time of making clothes.”
Da Ya pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, how do you want to make money? You bought so much pork suet. It's easy to spoil in the hot weather."
Tan You: "We'll talk about making money tomorrow. If you feel You can follow along if you are interested.”
Erya and Sanya were not to be outdone: “Aniang, I am. We also want to learn."
At this time, An Wen, who had brought the eggs, came in. When he heard this, he subconsciously opened his mouth: "Aunt, I want to learn too."
Naturally, Tan You didn't hide anything, and he had learned everything well. Once he learned it, he would work as a laborer for her, which would save her the trouble of doing it herself.
"Okay, let's learn together."
Da Ya saw that Anwen's expression was not right, so she asked casually: "What's wrong?" Anwen curled his lips: "When I went to Zhuzi's house, I heard that Grandma Zhuzi My daughter-in-law is Aunt Xinghua. She said that Grandma Zhuzi sold us more grain in the morning and said that we came here specially to take advantage."
Tan You stirred up the pot. Hot Oil: "Are you angry because of this?"
Anwen lowered his head and remained silent.
Tan You smiled: "Grandma Zhuzi did give more, and our family did get an advantage. This is a fact and cannot be denied."
Anwen frowned: "But aunt, you asked me to go Return the eggs."
Tan You: "Did Aunt Xinghua say anything after receiving the eggs?"
An Wen shook his head: "No, she left me to eat, and I felt unhappy, so I ran back first."
Tan You smiled and said: "The boy has a pretty bad temper, but I have to tell you, in the future I want to Follow me out for a walk, and you have to keep your temper in check, not show it outside.”
"You still have to be kind to others. Don't get angry so easily."
An Wen was silent for a long time before saying, "Auntie, I will learn."
Tan You: "Okay, I just want to see what you can learn, because we haven’t eaten meat for a long time, and we have no family. There is a funeral. In the next month, we will all eat small meat. We will wait for a month to talk about big meat. "
Er Yazui said: "Auntie, what is small meat?"
Tan You thought about it for a moment: "Xiaoyu is all kinds of stir-fried stews and eggs."
She felt that she was fastidious enough, and she allowed Tan You not to eat meat for three years, and Tan You could eat the other person alive. Now that she has endured for a month for the original owner's family, Tan You feels that she has done a good job.
Dinner is boiled brown rice, then a large bowl of bone soup, and then a bowl of egg custard per person.
Tan You looked at the cooked lard and poured a small spoonful of lard into the hot rice without hesitation. Several children were not to be outdone, and all of them ate until their mouths were shining.
“I feel so full for the first time.” Da Ya touched her protruding belly and sighed.
Tan You: "We will be full every meal from now on."
Erya: "Mom, lard rice is the best I have ever eaten."
Sanya: "Sister, you just said that bone soup is the most delicious."
< br>Erya: "They are all delicious. Everything cooked by mom is delicious."
Tan You doesn't like this: "I'm not an old lady who cooks for you. You wash the pots and dishes after dinner."
Da Ya: "Mom, I will learn to cook from now on."
"Okay," Tan You said happily: "It's not bad to learn more than one craft."
Looking at the four little children squatting in rows washing dishes, Tan You suddenly frowned. Ah, it sounds too rustic after all. And the rate of duplicate names was too high, so she had to think of a name for everyone.
So the three girls who came over after cleaning up the kitchen heard Tan You’s thoughts.
"Mom, do you want to name us?" Da Ya suppressed the excitement in her heart, "I don't want to be called Da Ya, many people have this name."
Tan You Nodding: "You are the eldest sister, and now you are also the eldest daughter in the family, so your responsibilities are naturally different. I want to name you Chen Xi, Xi means the sun. I hope you can always shine brightly like the bright sun."
