Chapter 170: How to train?
Under Cheng Yue's hands-on teaching, Chen Ning has mastered the use of the oven and the baking time of various types of pastries.
Making pastries is actually the most tiring part. Cheng Yue took on most of the work herself. Chen Ning was young, so she was responsible for baking. In her spare time, she watched Cheng Yue make pastries and learned from him.
Making zongzi is simple, Cheng Yue is not in a hurry, and makes all the pastries in the first few days, and then makes zongzi whenever she has time.
Especially after dinner, when there is nothing to do, the family can make rice dumplings while talking.
The mother and daughter were busy all day. Cheng Yue saw that the time was almost up, so she rubbed her sore wrist, turned her waist, and walked out of the kitchen.
"Xiao Ning, that's enough for today. We'll stop cooking after this batch is done. We'll continue tomorrow."
After standing for a whole day, my heels are sore.
Chen Ning immediately brought a small stool to Cheng Yue and said sensibly, "Mom, please sit down. I'll help you massage your legs."
She can sit and stare at the oven, but her mother has to stand for a whole day to make cakes. It’s hard just thinking about it.
Cheng Yue felt relieved and said with a smile: "You are such a good daughter, but I am not that squeamish. It's okay. Let's sit down and rest together. It will be time to cook again soon."
Chen Ning ignored Cheng Yue's attempts to stop her and squatted on the ground to help Cheng Yue massage her legs.
As the mother and daughter were talking, they saw Chen An and Chen Tong coming back. Before the ox cart stopped, Chen Tong turned the cart and ran into the yard like a flash.
Cheng Yue didn't think that Chen Tong missed home that much. Instead, his expression seemed like he had some good news to tell her.
Most likely it's about Zeng Youcai...
Cheng Yue's prediction turned out to be true. Chen Tong ran in and said happily, "Mom, today some cats and dogs came over and said that the two beggars who kidnapped people were worth five hundred taels!
Sister-in-law... Chen Xianghua was so angry that she almost fainted! Zeng Youcai couldn't come up with so much money and threatened to report it to the police.
As a result, the two men threatened Zeng Dabao and Zeng Xiaobao's lives, so Zeng Youcai had no choice but to raise money! The officials didn't even dare to report it!"
Cheng Yue had anticipated this result. Zeng Youcai's previous wife died of complications during childbirth and did not leave any children.
Later, he married Chen Xianghua as his second wife and gave birth to the twins Zeng Dabao and Zeng Xiaobao.
Twins are auspicious and have good meanings. Zeng Youcai treats them like babies and loves them even more than their mother Chen Xianghua.
These two children are his lifeblood, so whatever those two beggars say is what he wants.
Cheng Yue asked: "Any cats or dogs? Didn't you say that they are not allowed to watch them?"
Chen An, who was unloading the cattle cart nearby, replied: "They just said that they had enough to eat these two days and had money in their hands, so they went to take a look when they had nothing to do."
Cheng Yue shook her head and smiled, "Who would have nothing better to do than to run from the county town to Huaihua Town? I guess they are here to help us keep an eye on people. They are two really honest kids."
Perhaps it was because they had received too little kindness. She had only given them a few pieces of cakes, but the two children took her matter so seriously.
Chen An nodded, "Yes, they came here today, and I gave them another ten cents, but the two kids didn't want it, and they ran away after saying that."
Although they said there was no need to keep an eye on them, they couldn't take advantage of the two kids because they ran away. They even ran too fast for them to catch up.
The little beggar was more familiar with the county town than they were. He knew every alley that led to one and he disappeared in a flash.
"It's okay, let's wait for next time. We'll help you when we have a chance."
As the family was talking, the pastries from the oven were ready. Cheng Yue brought them out and arranged them, then prepared to make dinner.
Chen Ning held Cheng Yue and said to Chen An, "Dad, let's go make dinner. Mom has been standing all day and her ankles are swollen..."
Cheng Yue: "..."
To her, it is a warm and cozy little cotton-padded jacket, but to Chen An, it is a bit leaky!
Chen An looked at Cheng Yue's ankle and said with concern: "Ayue, there are still more than ten days left, you can take your time and there is no rush. I will come back to make dinner later, you sit down and rest."
If his two daughters hadn't been there, he would have wanted to lift up Cheng Yue's trouser legs to take a look.
Chen Tong covered his mouth and laughed, "Then I'll go cut the grass, Mom, you take a rest, and let Dad make dinner!"
She liked seeing her parents like this, and her heart felt warm and soft... As for cooking, her father's cooking tasted really good, so she would go cut grass for the cows!
Cheng Yue felt warm inside. It was really nice to be pampered. "Since you two sisters are so good at making arrangements, I'll listen to you!"
Of course she wouldn't just sit there doing nothing, so she sat down and started making rice dumplings.
Chen An: He is really good at making arrangements. He arranges everything very clearly for him. It is really convenient for him to order his father around!
Chen Tong and Chen Ning went out together carrying the basket.
Chen An smiled, went to tie up the ox cart, and picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden. The vegetables planted in the spring are almost edible now. There are red, green and purple vegetables. Half of the yard is full of vegetables, which looks very cute.
"Hey! Why is it Brother Chen An who is picking vegetables? Sister Cheng Yue, you are so lucky!"
Zhao Xiang came in to mix chicken and duck food. When she turned around, she saw Chen An and immediately winked at Cheng Yue.
When her man is around, she would at most do farm work and never do housework. Which man is different?
She didn't benefit from anything when she was alive, but she suffered after her death and was driven out by her husband's family.
Sister Cheng Yue is luckier than her. Chen An really protects her and loves her so much!
But it wasn't like this before, it must be the result of training! She needs to find out.
It was a bit incongruous for a man to cook in this era. Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when Zhao Xiangxiu looked at her in such a playful manner.
He touched his nose and said, "Stop making fun of me!"
Chen An felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he took the dishes, said hello and went into the kitchen.
Zhao Xiangxiu laughed softly twice and asked Cheng Yue in her ear: "How did you train her?"
If Cheng Yue drinks water, it will spray out a meter at least. Zhao Xiangxiu is quite curious...
Liu Dazhuang has not been around for several years. Why is Zhao Xiangxiu asking about this?
Cheng Yue joked, "Sister-in-law Xiangxiu, why are you asking this? Do you have any ideas?"
Zhao Xiangxiu turned her head and deliberately said with a stern face: "What's the matter? A widow can't have any ideas? The court encourages widows to remarry!"
Cheng Yue chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes!"
I didn't expect that she was such a Zhao Xiangxiu, very good! If you want to find her, then find her, if you don't want to find her, then don't find her, it's your freedom and no one can interfere.
This kind of Zhao Xiangxiu made her feel, well... alive.
Zhao Xiangxiu also laughed after hearing this, nudged Cheng Yue's arm and raised an eyebrow and said, "Then tell me, how did you train her?"
How can this not be accepted? Cheng Yue had no choice but to say, “Just praise him! Praise him to death! As long as he does it, no matter how well he does it, just praise him.
The more you praise him, the harder he works, and the happier he is! We women should learn to be lazy. We can get the job done by just talking. It’s so cost-effective!”
Zhao Xiangxiu's eyes widened, "That makes sense!"
It's a pity that there is no man to practice with now, eh? No! She still has two sons to try!
"Mom, why haven't you mixed the chicken feed yet?"
Cuicui came in from outside. I don't know what her mother was talking about with Aunt Cheng Yue. They were so engrossed that they forgot about the important things.
Zhao Xiangxiu stood up immediately, slapped her head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. I'll do it quickly!"
It was just Sister Cheng Yue. If it was someone else, they would have said something about her a long time ago. Zhao Xiangxiu cursed herself inwardly, she really lost herself when it came to gossip!
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, there's no rush."
There is no fixed time for feeding chickens and ducks. You just need to take good care of them and feed them. Isn't it nice to chat with them?
Who doesn’t slack off at work?
