Domineering husband

Chapter 36 Don't Cook If You Don't Want to Cook

   Therefore, Li Dashan, who was originally in charge of weighing things, chopping firewood and other miscellaneous tasks, had an extra job this afternoon:

kneading noodles, cooking wormwood, and red beans.

Li Dashan naturally had no objection, but he was a little puzzled. When his uncle arranged these tasks for him, his smile was a bit weird...

When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were making snacks, Han Xiaoyan and Zhao Erniu's aggressive behavior at noon, As if it had grown wings, it quickly spread throughout Sanliu Village.

Zhao Mancang and Wang Hongqin naturally also heard Wang Guihua's impeccable logic. Zhao Mancang was overjoyed, and he glared at Wang Hongqin: "Fortunately, you were not allowed to go." "I didn't go to ask for a prescription.

" convinced.

"Is there an essential difference? Don't they all ask the juniors for things. I warn you, I want to lose face, and I can't afford to lose that person. If you dare to go to Xiaoqiao, you will go back to your mother's house!

" To prevent Wang Hongqin from being unable to withstand the temptation, Zhao Mancang put his ugly words in front of him.

When Wang Hongqin heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied. How old is she and she was asked to go back to her natal home? Her parents are long gone. Where can she go back to her natal home? Live at brother's house?

This clearly made her homeless, too cruel!

"You don't want to find a way out for Zhuzi? Are you his grandfather?!"

"Our family is not bad, what way out?!" Zhao Mancang scolded.

His family lives in the middle class in Sanliu Village. They have surplus food, no foreign debts, and their sons, daughters, grandchildren, and grandchildren are also free from illness and disaster.

These are the best days.

"Compared with Li Liang's family, our family is not bad, but after all, we are all old farmers with mud legs. Now that Dashan earns a high salary of thirty-five yuan a day, how is our pillar worse than Dashan?" Farming the

land Too much work.

There was no comparison before, and Wang Hongqin didn't think there was anything.

Now that Li Dashan is here, Wang Hongqin is envious, her eldest grandson is just as good as Li Dashan.

"Of course Zhuzi is worse than Dashan. Dashan is Xiaoqiao's nephew, so is Zhuzi?"

Zhao Mancang said angrily.

Seeing that Wang Hongqin wanted to refute, he became impatient: "If you say one more word, get out of here tonight!"

Wang Hongqin: "..."

She fell silent.

Forget it, Wang Osmanthus showed great power today, and she went to make fun of herself.

Wait and see, she softened her attitude and said something nice to Wang Guihua and Li Qiao, and Li Qiao would definitely agree.

The other people in the village also took a break from letting Li Qiao arrange work for them.

Li Qiao couldn't even take care of his own family, how could he care about them.

Alas, Li Qiao hasten to make a fortune and make his business bigger and stronger, so that he can spare them a hand.

Li Qiao, who was blessed by many people, was extraordinarily diligent tonight.

Today, Li Dashan did some preparatory work. He and Tao Zhu rested after dark. There was plenty of time, so he and Tao Zhu did all the poses they hadn't tried before.

Tao Zhu has always been obedient to him in this matter, even if he is too shy to look at him, but no matter what requests he makes, he will always comply.

Tao Zhu never advised him to exercise restraint, but only cooked soup to nourish his body during the day.

Therefore, although the two of them rested earlier, they actually fell asleep later than usual.

The next day, when Li Dashan came over, the two of them hadn't gotten up yet.

"Uncle, why are you waking up so late? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Dashan looked at Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's exhausted faces, and was very concerned.

He obviously finished his work early yesterday, but why did his uncle and uncle Zhu look like this?

Tao Zhu had a thin skin after all, so he looked at Li Qiao beside him helplessly.

Li Qiao yawned, shook his head and said, "Your Uncle Zhu learned to read and asked me to make snacks last night, so he went to bed late." "

Wow! Uncle Zhu is so hardworking!"

Li Dashan immediately expressed admiration .

It's amazing to be so studious after working all day and at night.

Tao Zhu: "..."

But facing Li Dashan's sincere eyes, he could only smile lightly: "The opportunity to read and write is rare, so cherish it." "

I'll make breakfast, what do you want to eat?" He quickly changed the subject.

"I can do anything." Li Dashan didn't ask.

Li Qiao didn't ask for it either, he has never been picky eaters: "You can eat whatever you want." "

It's easier, cook a porridge, then make a mashed garlic egg and cold cucumber."

Tao Zhu doesn't intend to do complicated things.

"I'm going to light the fire." Li Qiao followed Tao Zhu into the kitchen.

But as soon as he entered the kitchen, Tao Zhu twisted his arm: "What are you talking nonsense about Dashan!

" him.

Tao Zhu: "!"

Li Dashan is still in the yard, if he is seen, he will have no face to see Li Dashan today.

Gazing at Li Qiao without any threat, he simply turned around and started making breakfast.

Li Qiao didn't continue to quarrel with him, there was a lot of work waiting for the couple today.

Put the rice in an iron pot and add water. Then put the steaming grate into the pot.

Put the steamed buns and eggs on the steaming grate, and start to burn on high heat.

The earthen stove cooks porridge very quickly, and the porridge is also very fragrant. Tao Zhu puts the porridge into a bowl, then peels the eggs, puts them in a garlic mortar, and then adds garlic juice, salt, and sesame oil. it is done.

Li Qiao liked this way of eating very much. He took a steamed bun with an egg between them and ate five steamed buns before stopping.

Li Dashan had never eaten this way before, and after Li Qiao's family knew this way of eating, he fell in love with it right away.

He ate four steamed buns in one go, ate half a pot of cold cucumbers, and drank a big bowl of porridge before he was full.

Tao Zhu's appetite was smaller than the two, but he still ate two and a half steamed buns.

So, after this breakfast, more than a dozen steamed buns were gone.

Li Qiao looked at the only steamed bun left in the basket, turned to Tao Zhu and said, "Why don't we hire someone to cook for us. You work too hard every day." Now

his family steams steamed buns once every two days, and steams them once. There are two big pots, noodles are usually served at noon, and steamed buns are only eaten in the morning and evening. Even so, steaming once is only enough for two days.

Steaming steamed buns takes a lot of time. Of course, steaming steamed buns in the kitchen is still very hard on a hot day.

Moreover, in addition to steamed buns, there are three meals a day.

Especially for the noodles at noon, rolling noodles is no less labor-saving than steaming steamed buns. He couldn't bear Tao Zhu's hard work.

"If you hire people again, the folks will definitely think that we have earned gold and silver. How can I be so squeamish, I just cook, which husband doesn't cook? Even Li Ping's sister-in-law cooks at home."

Tao Bamboo shook his head.

This is too high-profile, it would be great if Li Qiao had this kind of heart.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and quietly grabbed Li Qiao's hand under the dining table.

The man couldn't bear to let him cook.

He had never even dreamed of such tenderness.

"All right." Li Qiao dismissed this idea for the time being, instead he held Tao Zhu's hand, interlocking his fingers, and then said seriously: "If you don't want to do it someday, tell me, let's hire someone It's not that you can't afford to be hired."

"Sister-in-law Li Ping is sister-in-law Li Ping, you are you, you are my husband, cooking is not tied to you, you can do it if you want, if you don't want to, let's hire someone Let's do it."

"Got it." Tao Zhu nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a small arc, looking at Li Qiao with sparkling eyes.

Li Dashan: "..."

He is so redundant.

He should be under the table.

Swallowing the cucumber in his mouth, he lowered his head and stood up: "I'm going to chop wood!"

Throwing these four words, he ran away quickly.

If he stayed any longer, he would have goose bumps all over his body!

Li Qiao looked at Li Dashan's back and smiled. This kid is a bit happy. Not only does he have a delicious breakfast, but he also has dog food. He is full early in the morning. He must be full of energy for today's work.

"Let's eat quickly, let Dashan knead the dough after we're done, I'll make green balls and you make rich cakes." He said to Tao Zhu with a smile.

"En!"

Tao Zhu nodded.

After the two of them had breakfast, before dawn, Wang Xiuying came to carry water, and after a while, Xiao Wu also came.

Xiao Wu also brought the words of shopkeeper Wang:

I want to buy ten catties of peach cakes.

Now the peach cake has become the new favorite of shopkeeper Wang's family, especially the old mother of shopkeeper Wang, who likes to eat this most.

Mrs. Wang is getting old, her teeth are not very good, and the Shaqima is too hard, she can't bite it very much, she has to chew slowly when eating a piece.

Damahua is barely chewable, and it is easier to chew than Shaqima.

But the peach cake will soon become soft after holding it in her mouth for a while, and she likes it once she eats it.

Because Li Qiao's oven was too small to mass-produce, shopkeeper Wang decided to order it privately.

The last time he bought ten catties, he ate it up in just two days. No, today he asked Xiao Wu to tell him that he wanted to buy another ten catties.

However, this time he specifically told him to put less sugar, because his old mother is getting old, and it is not good to eat too much sugar.

"Okay, I'll make it now."

Anyway, it's still early, and it's faster to make peach cakes, so Li Qiao is going to bake ten catties for him now.

After Xiaowu left with Taosu, Li Qiao started making green balls, while Tao Zhu made Shaqima.

At noon, Wang Guihua came again.

One is to see if there is any trouble, but to see the sales of maltose.

There were quite a lot of people watching the fun yesterday, and the one who bought it for five yuan and the one who bought it for ten yuan sold a total of half a catty of maltose, which made her very happy.

There is no excitement today, and there are few people, but a shopkeeper from Xiaogang Village came.

This peddler walks the streets and alleys on weekdays and is well-informed.

Knowing that Sanliu Village sells half-price maltose here, I came here today.

The salesman naturally wanted to round up all the maltose, but Li Liang Wang Guihua had already thought of this situation.

The price of their maltose is low, and they are retailed to the villagers. The couple can earn money, and the villagers can also eat half-price maltose.

But the salesman failed.

The peddler doesn't eat it himself, the peddler wants to sell it to make money.

Wang Guihua and Li Liang are not that stupid. They don't earn their own money but let the peddler earn it. The two of them have long thought that the peddler can buy in large quantities, but the price is 180 yuan a catty.

Although this price is much higher than the retail price to the folks, it is 20 cents lower than the price in the county town, and it also saves the errand fee of the shopkeeper.

So, the salesman gritted his teeth and bought three catties.

Before the news of cheap maltose in Sanliu Village spread, he could still earn some copper coins by selling it in further villages.

The peddler bought three catties of maltose in one go, and almost rounded up the pieces of maltose made by Wang Guihua and Li Liang.

As soon as Wang Guihua came, Li Dashan handed her five hundred and forty copper coins, with a happy face: "Mother, big business, it seems that you and father will make more next time, otherwise it will not be enough for other peddlers to buy." "

My uncle gave me the paper back and asked me to make an account book for our family's accounts." "

Yeah." Wang Guihua smiled lightly, and she took the copper plate.

"...Mom, are you in a bad mood?"

Li Dashan looked at her cautiously.

"It's not because of you, Aunt Chuntao."

Wang Guihua sighed.

Li Chuntao is seventeen years old this year, and she is a big girl in the countryside.

But in fact, Li Chuntao had made a baby marriage before, and the betrothed object was Zhou Mingsheng, her third uncle's cousin.

Because they were engaged since childhood, the two families have been in close contact.

Like Li Qiao, Zhou Mingsheng studied since he was a child. He is two years older than Li Qiao, and like Gao Zhiyuan, he has already passed the first two stages of the Tongsheng Examination, leaving only the last exam.

But Li Chuntao is getting older year by year, and he can't afford it. Two years ago, Li Gu wanted Li Chuntao and Zhou Mingsheng to get married, but Zhou Mingsheng said that he would try the hospital exam in Tongsheng Examination.

As a result, Zhou Mingsheng still failed the exam.

However, he was spotted by the daughter of the shopkeeper of a ceramics shop in the county seat.

Therefore, he resigned from Li Chuntao's baby marriage and married the ceramic shopkeeper's daughter.

Li Gu and his daughter-in-law Zhou Jingui were so angry that they would die. Over the years, their family would go to Zhou's house to help with the work when the farming season was busy, and they would give Zhou Mingsheng money every year for him to study.

But who knew that a white-eyed wolf would be confessed.

Zhou Jingui was not in good health, but was stabbed in the back by Zhou Mingsheng, a nephew, and fell ill immediately.

But she held on to her sick body and went to the Zhou family to reason with Li Gula, Li Liang, Li Dazhong and other men from the Li family.

The Zhou family was at a loss and was willing to pay Li Gu two taels of silver for Li Chuntao's loss of youth.

This action made Li Gu half dead, he didn't ask for money, Zhou Mingsheng was not at home at that time, so he beat Zhou Mingsheng's parents severely.

As a result, Zhou Mingsheng's parents turned around and started spreading rumors that Li Chuntao and Zhou Mingsheng had a physical relationship.

This kind of rumor is fatal to a girl, Li Gu was so angry that she rushed to Zhou's house with the men from Li's family and beat Zhou Mingsheng's parents.

But Li Chuntao's reputation could not be regained.

Li Chuntao couldn't prove his innocence at all, and people like to read this kind of gossip, so Li Chuntao's reputation was completely ruined.

In the past two years, some people have also come to Li Chuntao to say goodbye.

But it's either an old bachelor with a bad temper or a bad family background, or a second-married family who waits for her to marry and serve the family. Zhou Jingui's body is not very good, and it is even worse to be popular with these people. I have to take medicine.

Li Chuntao, on the other hand, became more and more silent. Whenever she left the house, she kept her head down, and she was no longer cheerful and lively as before.

Just now when Wang Guihua went to Li Gu's house to borrow a bucket, she happened to see a matchmaker coming to her door to propose marriage to Li Chuntao. This time the matchmaker was talking about a family in the town.

Li Gu felt that something was wrong, so he repeatedly questioned the matchmaker and told the truth, it turned out that the man had killed three wives, and those in the town who knew the truth did not dare to marry him, so they could only find girls from the countryside.

After hearing what the matchmaker said, Li Gu was so angry that he drove the matchmaker out immediately.

On the other hand, Li Chuntao, after being silent, said that as long as the man gave a gift of twenty taels of silver, then she would be willing to marry.

"Ah? Sister-in-law, what is she thinking!"

Li Dashan was taken aback.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu also came out of the shed and kitchen, and looked at Wang Guihua in confusion.

"Oh, Chuntao has had enough of being ridiculed, she would rather exchange her life for twenty taels of silver and leave it to your second master and mistress."

Wang Guihua sighed.

"How did this happen!"

Li Dashan was taken aback, "Mother, you have to persuade my little sister well."

Li Qiao also frowned, Li Chuntao actually has such an extreme mentality?

The author has something to say:
