Chapter 169: Nourishing Pot
After leaving, the three of them went straight to the border town. From a distance, they saw Chun Niang standing at the entrance of the alley and looking around, with her husband He Fang following her.
"It is agreed to celebrate the festival together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but you are better off, just one day earlier."
When Chunniang saw Xiao Lingchuan stop the carriage, she rushed to the door with big strides, and fired at Li Haitang, "Haitang, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon, so I'm waiting for you! "
"Chun Niang, we actually went down the mountain on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, but something happened and we were delayed."
Li Haitang made a mistake, and hurriedly admitted her mistake with a smiling face. The atmosphere in the border town was good along the way, maybe the barbarians really came to rob, she guessed, it might be because of the city defense camp in the border town.
"There are a lot of delicious food and drink prepared at home, just waiting for you."
Chunniang was just talking, but she didn't take it to heart, don't think about it, it's the best of the Li family making a fuss again, she treats Li Haitang as her own sister, so what can she say?
She got up early in the morning, went to the stove, washed and diced the fresh pigskin, put it into a large pot, added broth, pepper, diced green onion, and diced ginger, and brought it to a boil over high heat, then switched to medium heat to cook The pigskin is boiled to make a shiny skin jelly.
Skin jelly has high requirements on the heat, and she has to watch the addition or addition or subtraction of firewood, and she is busy running around, just to add an extra fresh cold dish.
"Look at the pulse, it's not bad."
Li Haitang felt Chunniang's pulse, and the group walked into the yard. Before, she had been a little worried that Chunniang was an advanced mother and her first child, so she was afraid that she would eat taboo food because she was inexperienced.
"I've been very careful recently, and I don't touch cold things at all."
It is not good for pregnant women to eat hawthorn, but Chun Niang wanted to eat a mouthful of sour ones. Seeing the huge hawthorn covered in icing sugar, her mouth watered.
It stands to reason that it would be fine to eat a few, but she is not a teenage girl, so she was afraid of any accidents, so she forcibly held back.
Fortunately, before the Chinese New Year, the family bought a lot of candied fruit, so she could only live on some preserved apricots, and only sour ones did not retch.
"We stayed in the county for a while, and the house was a mess. The bacon hanging in the kitchen was looted."
Li Haitang expressed his concern, the ordinary people, thank God that they can live a peaceful life, if the two countries go to war, they will be hurt.
"I heard it this morning."
Chunniang has lived on the border for more than ten years, and she is not surprised by this. In recent years, the barbarians have been eager to move, because they are sure that Daqi is a big piece of fat.
This year, it snowed heavily on the barbarian side, causing a snow disaster. I heard that the animals froze to death. There was a shortage of supplies and no food, so they had to think of ways to target Daqi, which was rich in supplies.
No one can say anything about war. The people in the border towns are tough, and they dare to fight with barbarians on the street. Who is afraid of whom?
"Hey, I'm really worried for nothing."
Li Haitang has never had a similar experience, and the original owner is not as good as her, let alone seen the world. When there was a slight disturbance, she felt jittery.
"The barbarians are strong and strong, and all the people are soldiers. As for the weak chickens in our barracks, they are really not as strong as others."
Chun Niang curled her lips. In the early years, barbarians burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. That tender and tender girl was dragged to the corner and ruined in the street.
The soldier was passing by, pretending not to see it, because the people in the city couldn't see it, so they came back and got a hatchet to help. During that time, military-civilian relations have been very tense.
"But I'm afraid that something will happen, so I want you to go to Lucheng to have a baby."
Li Haitang's clinic is in Lucheng, and she can't get away in a short time, so she has to do a good job in her career and earn more money.
Xiao Lingchuan has money, savings, and treasures, all of which are bought with his life. Li Haitang can't spend the blood and sweat of his savage husband with peace of mind.
She shyly thought that in the future, she would have to have a son and a daughter, and make up a "good" word to give her daughter a generous dowry, and her son would have to marry a wife and have children, which required a lot of money.
"It's not that serious. I've lived in the border town for more than ten years, and I'm used to the feng shui here."
Chunniang doesn't care. Although Lucheng is close to the border town, the customs and customs are completely different. She is more used to the boldness of the people in the border town who eat meat and drink heavily.
For dinner, the two families sat around the table. There was a charcoal basin on the table, and a copper hot pot was placed on it. There were mutton slices in it.
The mutton slices are put into the hot soup, and they are cooked in a few seconds. The sauce is rolled around, and it is tender in the mouth.
Eating mutton in winter is the most nourishing. The heat makes Li Haitang's cheeks pink, which is too beautiful to behold.
"Jin Hu, eat more, kid. If you don't eat more, how can you grow taller?"
Chun Niang sat next to Li Jinhu, kept picking up vegetables for him, and muttered, "Our men in the north are taller than those in the south, but they also look rougher."
In contrast, the beautiful men in the south are more likely to produce beautiful men. Look at Xiao Taohong, that face is so jealous, there is not a single blemish to be found, the most important thing is that she has a good voice, God will reward her with food.
Li Haitang paused for a moment with his chopsticks, his face darkened, why did he mention that **** when he was eating!
If it wasn't for solving Xiao Taohong, she would have entered the death row with honor, so why not take a day trip! It's sad to mention it.
"Little Taohong is a low-ranking actor even if she is good at it. We, Jin Hu, are scholars, and we will be officials in the future."
Li Haitang quickly retorted, she is beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman, won't there be pressure to marry a wife in the future?
In case of marrying an ugly little woman, the child will look like the mother, and it will not look like his own.
"Haitang, haven't you always looked down on scholars?"
Chunniang was stunned. Some time ago, who said that scholars were unjust and unreliable? It became so fast!
Then, she thought about it, maybe her sister was tricked by Xiao Taohong to play some kind of corpse, and she just happened to be kidnapped by Li Qiuju, so she couldn't bear to be cut.
"Jin Hu, what kind of young lady do you want to find as your wife in the future?"
Chunniang did the math, Li Jinhu was ten years old this year, and she was also half a child. She took out the safety buckle for Li Jinhu, with a silk sash on it, which could just hang on her waist.
"I... I'm still young."
Li Jinhu took the gift, thanked him, and his face turned red. He hadn't thought about what to look for in the future, but he knew what he wasn't looking for.
"Oh? Have you thought about this?"
Chunniang likes children very much, teases Li Jinhu, sees his seriousness, and asks curiously, "Then which one are you not looking for?"
"Not looking for..."
Li Jinhu secretly glanced at his elder sister, saw that Li Haitang was also looking forward to the answer, thought for a while, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't look for someone like my sister!" Smart, busy, able to spend money, love to express himself, Narcissism, and Zuo, he felt that apart from his brother-in-law, no other man in the world could bear her. Therefore, brother-in-law is not easy!
