Chapter 30: Blood

In addition to adding salt and sugar, Su Ruojin also added pepper powder, stirred it well, and put a small paper bag in Su Sanlang's mouth. "Hold it, be careful to burn it."

Wow! Crunchy, salty and crispy, I couldn't stop eating one delicious item after another. After a while, the bottom of the small bag was exhausted.

The little kid puffed out his chubby little mouth with a flattering smile on his face, "Sister, I want more!"

Su Ruojin:…

This naughty kid!

Ignoring him, Su Ruojin gave Su Dalang and Uncle Feng a packet each, "You guys should try it too."

Su Dalang originally wanted to act like his eldest brother, but when he saw that his eldest brother was eating it crunchily and his mouth was full of fluids, he still reached out to take it in a polite manner.

Feng Wangtian was embarrassed and kept pushing him back, "How can I eat the young man's food so much as a grown man?" He didn't want life or death.

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Uncle, please try it for me to see if it tastes good. Maybe Brother Dashi and Brother Shi will sell it!"

Feng Wangtian was happy that his son was involved in the business, "Then I'll try two." After saying that, he gave the bag to Su Sanlang.

Su Sanlang was so happy that he was afraid of being snatched away by his sister, so he quickly hid on the other side of his little brother's cradle and chattered non-stop, just like a cute little mouse.

Su Ruojin laughed, shook his head, and filled another bag for Uncle Feng.

The deep-fried food, with seasonings added to it, couldn't be more delicious. It was so crispy that it fell off your tongue. Feng Wangtian, even at his age, couldn't hold it back and took a small bag of taro sticks with a red face.

Don’t blame him for not being able to control himself due to his age, “The food is really delicious.”

Su Ruojin smiled secretly and thought to herself, these are the French fries that are popular in later generations. Who can resist this delicious taste? Taro has a higher starch content than potatoes. Eating too much will make your mouth dry. It is better to pair it with a drink.

Su Ruojin was not in a hurry to work for a while, so she simply made tea with hawthorn sauce and mixed a cup for each person. They ate and drank happily, and worked more energetically.

At noon, Su Yanli and his wife did not come back, so Su Ruojin made mutton noodles for everyone.

In the early morning, Mother Dong put the mutton soup in the pot and warmed it, rolled out the noodles and put them in the cupboard. Su Ruojin washed a handful of green vegetables. When the soup boiled, she put the noodles in and boiled them, then washed them. Add the good green vegetables, add some seasonings, and wait until the soup pot boils again before you can eat it.

The soup is fragrant, the noodles are chewy, and the green vegetables make you full of appetite at first glance. The fresh and delicious taste warms the stomach in one bite. It is just like a god. Feng Wangtian thought in his heart that he would love this bowl of mutton noodles. I am willing to work as a long-term worker in the Su family for the rest of my life.

Su Ruojin didn't have time to care about what Uncle Feng thought. She was currently taking care of Su Sanlang to eat. He was only three years old. He couldn't hold the chopsticks so steadily, and he couldn't wait for the food to be cold or hot. She had to hold it while blowing on it and then feeding him until he was wet. In the child's mouth.

At this moment, there is no doubt that she is really a "Dehua". It's a pity that she is only six years old! Thinking about the fact that she still had a fourth child to take care of, Su Ruojin couldn't help but cry out in her heart, please, please her parents, please don't have another baby. She didn't want to take care of a fifth child!

The Su family's hot mutton noodles are in full swing. The atmosphere in the room of Cheng Zhaolin, the second son of the Cheng family's concubine in the Xuanbo Mansion, is as cold as an ice cave. Her mother, Cheng Yingzhen, is standing hungry in front of the mistress to serve lunch. I don't know what dish was brought out wrong. Then Wan brought a bowl of hot soup over and poured it all over Cheng Yingzhen. The soup cup fell to the ground and tore into pieces. Fortunately, my clothes are thick in winter, otherwise I would have blisters on my body. Cheng Yingzhen's father, Cheng Zhaolin, the second son of the Xuanbo Mansion, was in his early fifties. He married his wife Wan and had one son and two daughters. The concubine's children were all daughters. In other words, he only had one son in his life.

For the sake of their son, Cheng Zhaolin and his wife Wan Shi 'sold' all the concubines at a good price. They either married the concubines to powerful old men or married them to wealthy businessmen. Anyway, every concubine They all contributed to the legitimate sons, except Cheng Yingzhen who married a poor Jinshi, so every time she came back, Cheng Yingzhen would be made things difficult for her by the Wan family.

This year is no exception.

Cheng Yingzhen's aunt saw her daughter being bullied by her mistress again, and quickly came over and slapped her daughter, "I told you to be careful and serve your aunt, but why are you so confused and unable to do anything?" While beating her, she pulled her daughter to a corner, and she followed He went to the mistress like a dog to please her and said, "Madam, let me let this concubine serve you."

Hit openly and protect secretly.

Think she is stupid, right?

"Get out." Wan showed no mercy, picked up the bowl in front of him and threw it at Ding.

When her daughter and son-in-law came back this time, they were not as depressed as in previous years. Hehe and Meimei brought gifts to Mrs. Wan to greet her. According to common sense, this is a good thing, but Mrs. Ding knew that Mrs. Wan hated the concubine's **** with her most in her life, and even more hated it. These **** who shouldn't have been born lived a loving and beautiful life. Since they were born, they were used as cattle and horses for his son. How dare you bring such a small thing back? If you don't let them know how powerful the mistress of the house is, what will happen in the future? Pinch the stock in the palm of your hand.

Mrs. Ding knew that Wan had to say this, so she didn't shy away from it. She forced Wan to smash her face, causing blood to flow out, so as to teach her to say such a thing.

"Auntie...Auntie..." Cheng Yingzhen rushed forward, took out a handkerchief, and stopped the bleeding.

On the other side of the screen, at the men's table, Su Yanli heard his wife's miserable cries and couldn't help but get up and head towards the female relatives.

Cheng Zhaolin's direct son Cheng Baotai was very angry, "How can you not ask Mr. Fan to transfer me to the Sixth Department, but you still want my mother to give you two a good look? What a dream."

Some time ago, when Cheng Yingzhen was about to give birth, Cheng Baotai sent a boy over and asked him to ask Master Fan to transfer him to the Sixth Department as a Yuanwailang.

Yuan Wai Lang is the deputy chief of the six ministries and departments. From the sixth rank, this is an official position with real power. If he is asked to ask an eighth-rank doctor of the Five Classics to ask for a sixth-rank official, is he crazy, or Su Yanli is crazy.

Su Yanli's heart was beating with anger, but he suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Cheng Lezheng, Yu Zhi is only an eighth-grade doctor of the Five Classics, and he doesn't have the dignity to let Fan Shilang mediate the sixth-grade official position."

"Don't you mean that Mr. Fan likes this pretty boy like you?" Fan Baotai didn't hear Su Yanli's sarcasm, and he said with an ambiguous look on his face: "It seems that your face can only deceive the concubine of our uncle's house. , What a pity, what a pity." Before he finished tutting, he turned to an older man and smiled flatteringly, "Brother-in-law, his face is useless, you are a member of the military department, you can always transfer me to the army!"

Yue Zheng, the name of the musician, is affiliated to the Taiyue Bureau of Taichang Temple. During the singing, he participates in directing the drumming, teaching music, making dance rituals (choreography), etc. To put it bluntly, he is equivalent to the foreman in the modern theater troupe, even from the ninth grade. No, this position is for the children of public servants and ministers to have fun with their reasonable salary.

The man who was flattered was almost as old as Cheng Zhaolin. He was the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. To save his little wife’s face, he bought either century-old ginseng or deer antler and tiger **** as a New Year’s gift, which cost nearly a hundred taels of silver. , or else I can get a good look from my brother-in-law?

During the Taiping years, he, a member of the Ministry of War, had little to gain, and he wanted an official from the sixth rank to get him another sixth rank. Could it be that his brother-in-law's brain was filled with water? Are you crazy about money and power?
