Carrying a basket of pig intestines and several pig feet was too eye-catching, so Zhou Xiaomeng had no choice but to buy a piece of oilcloth on the roadside and put it on.

Not only can it mask, but it can also effectively mask some smells.

Bought some more aniseed ingredients.

This basket of pig intestines and pig's feet cost only a few dollars, but this large bag of aniseed and the gauze wrapping the aniseed cost fifty cash.

She didn't do much to help Aunt Zhou sell pancakes and fruits today, and her total income was only fifty coins.

If it wasn't enough, I added twenty more coins.

But when I think about being able to taste delicious food that I haven't seen for a long time and possibly develop a new dish, I think it's all worth it.

I washed them in the river at the entrance of Xiaohe Village before taking them home.

People in the village saw her coming back with a big basket and asked her if she had bought more food for the family?

She smiled and didn't deny it.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou is becoming more and more fond of his husband now. That's right. The husbands in your family also have tender hearts. If you treat them well, they will also be considerate to you."

Zhou Xiaomeng smiled again, said nothing, and hurried home.

Some people can't stand it and say a few sour words after she walks away.

"Looking at her, she is only proud of finding a job in the city and earning some money. Her tail is raised to the sky."

"Okay, don't be bitter. If you are jealous, you can go to the city to find a job."

There are also people who don't like to talk about people's right and wrong, so I would like to reply with a few words.

Zhou Xiaomeng's hearing is not very good now. She can hear both good and bad things, but she just laughs them off.

Wherever there are people, disputes are inevitable. As long as it is not unpleasant to find someone in front of her, she doesn't bother to care about it.

She was quite helpless when she thought of the old man's petty temper last night.

She is a woman who has always been coaxed by men in the past. She has racked her brains to coax men.

But she didn't like the weird atmosphere at home, so when she arrived at the village entrance, she began to think about how to comfort her husbands.

After all, the eldest husband's attitude can directly affect several other husbands, and she already had a feeling that the husbands at home might be cold-hearted towards her.

Surprisingly, the husbands were still as enthusiastic as ever when they saw her.

One asked her what she was carrying, and the other offered to help her carry the basket.

Gu Yezhi, the second oldest brother who had always been at odds with her, was shouted at by Gu Weizhi, the third oldest brother, and awkwardly helped the third child carry the basket together.

Even Xiao Lang, the fifth child in Gu Youzhi's arms, made some babbling noises that seemed to be laughter the moment he saw her.

Seeing the children makes me feel better inexplicably.

If her hands weren't smelly, she would have just hugged Xiao Lang and teased him for a while.

Only the eldest husband, Gu Tingzhi, was pretending to be concentrating on sewing clothes in the yard. When he saw her and her husband entering the yard, the other husbands took the initiative to tell him, "The master of the house is back" and "The master of the house has brought food again" without even raising their heads.

All at once.

Seeing this, Gu Weizhi, the third child, took the initiative to express his helplessness by shrugging at Zhou Xiaomeng.

Zhou Xiaomeng washed her hands and came over to give Xiao Lang a hug, then prepared to cook her own delicious food.

The four husbands, plus the young man with eyes as wide as black grapes, all gathered around to see what she had brought back this time.

When they saw it was large intestine and pig's feet, their expressions changed.

The outspoken Gu Yezhi spat directly, "I thought it was for us to eat, but it was for the dogs."

But the truth is, there is no dog at home.

Zhou Xiaomeng had already expected this, so she waved to Gu Weizhi, who was good at smoothing things over and regulating relationships, without having to explain, and said to herself, "It's okay, most people will react this way when they see it, but it depends on who made this thing. I have it in my hands."

Here, you can turn waste into treasure and delicious food.”

With that said, he washed it again with water and prepared to cook it.

One pot of pig's feet and one pot of pig intestines.

A conservative estimate would take an hour or two to heal.

Originally, she wanted to call a husband to come in and help her light the fire together.

But seeing how they were covering their noses and unable to dodge, I had no choice but to give up.

When she mixed the contents of the two pots and prepared to light the fire, she realized that it was really too busy for one person to be responsible for two pots and stoves.

Remembering that Gu Tingzhi took the initiative to help her when cooking before, she really missed it.

He glanced outside and unexpectedly bumped into Gu Tingzhi, who was peeking over here.

Both of them felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Alas, this awkward old man, she smiled helplessly.

Forget it, it will be ready in a while, fill him a big bowl and apologize.

Who knows if a man is a man, he needs a woman to coax him.

In midsummer, there are two pots and stoves in the small kitchen.

It seemed like a rain was brewing, and the weather was extremely hot.

Zhou Xiaomeng shuttled between the two pots and stoves, sometimes adding fire to the pot, sometimes lifting the lid and stirring it to prevent the bottom of the pot from being scorched due to insufficient water.

As the steam rose, several times when she opened the lid, the hot air hit her face directly. It was so hot that she wanted to take off all her clothes.

In fact, women here don't have that much protection. In the fields, you can see shirtless women who can't stand the heat everywhere.

On the contrary, men wore a lot of clothes and covered themselves up very tightly.

But she was not a native after all, so she really couldn't accept it for a while.

The most I can do is take off my jacket, roll up my sleeves, and then roll up my trouser legs.

But as she spent more and more time lighting the fire, the heat was still too much for her.

Especially when you have to be at this stove for a while and go to that stove for a while.

The sweat on her forehead accumulated and flowed down like a river. She raised her sleeves to wipe it, and she was keenly aware of an additional figure in the kitchen.

Looking sideways, I saw that the fire in the pot on the back of the pot where the pig's feet were stewed was about to burn out. The doctor Gu Tingzhi hurriedly moved the firewood inside and added a few more pieces.

For a moment, her heart was filled with something warm.

"Master, I'll give you this stove. I'll be in charge of this one."

she said with a smile.

The eldest husband, Gu Tingzhi, paused his hand that was adding fire, and let out a sound as thin as a mosquito in his throat. Zhou Xiaomeng had good ears, but he couldn't hear clearly.

Alas, it seems that the anger has not gone away and I am still acting awkwardly.

Zhou Xiaomeng doesn't like to put her hot face on someone else's cold butt, so she doesn't have anything to say to her.

Fortunately, I had work at hand. I was adding firewood and stirring the pot, but I was too busy to take care of it.

Probably seeing her shuttle between the two pots, he took the initiative to call out "shovel". When she handed it to her in a daze, he took the initiative to uncover the pot and stirred it a few times.

The smell rose with the steam and hit his face. It was very hot and dry, but when the heat subsided, he could still feel the strange fragrance.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, but his face remained straight. Even if he was shocked, it was only very subtle.

Seeing that he was so considerate, Zhou Xiaomeng softened her heart and used herself to turn over the pot, even though he wanted to "shovel" her.

Although the two of them did not speak directly, they kept passing shovels to each other, which could be regarded as talking.

she thought.

Fortunately, we only have one shovel at home. If we had two shovels at home, we probably wouldn't have this problem.

Sometimes if he doesn't turn over, she will remind him by handing him a shovel.

For a time, the shovel became a useful tool to resolve their embarrassment.

Until an evil wind blew in, the smoke poured in, and the kitchen was instantly filled with thick smoke.

It made her cough non-stop.

The second weapon also made its successful debut.

He didn't know when he took out a cattail fan from a corner and handed it to her. She was startled for a moment, then she heard him whisper, "Hurry up," and then she quickly started fanning.

Sure enough, the cattail leaf fan blew away all the smoke, so it wasn't that hard anymore.

On the contrary, he felt a little uncomfortable and kept covering his nose with a handkerchief.

Zhou Xiaomeng handed him the fan, but he didn't accept it.

Zhou Xiaomeng wanted to give it to him, but he turned his head to the side.

She was moved and helpless when she saw it.

Although this old man was very sensitive and suspicious, he was still really nice to her.
