The Beauty in the Peasant Family - C227
One had to know, this muslin material looked light and thin, but it was not as breathable or comfortable as cotton. If he only made clothes on the first floor, it would still be okay. Especially when a cool breeze blew in the night, it would naturally be very comfortable.
However, this was only for a single layer. If there was a lot of this material, and it was even thirty to forty percent stacked together, then it would not be light or simple. It would simply be like smearing a pig on the ground.
As a result, when Wang Nu dug out two batches of Xiang Fei colored muslin from the chest to make a set for Qin Wuya, he was firmly rejected by Qin Wuya.
Then, with Qin Wuya’s request, she unwillingly made two outfits for Qin Wuya to wear while she was hiding in the room reading books.
There was no other way, being able to make pajamas for living was not worth it. Qin Wuya had already thought of the best way to get these two things that were said to be worth seventy or eighty silver each.
Actually, according to Qin Wuya’s thoughts, it would be best to bury these two pieces of cloth or trade them for around ten to twenty pieces of fine or cloud cotton cloth to make clothes with.
However, in this era, a married wife’s dowry was not only her parents’ but also her husband’s face.
If she had ignored everything and pawned all the materials she had, she might not have done anything, but yam would definitely be made into a joke by others.
It was similar to saying that the Chao Chung Hall’s business was a loss and had fallen to the idle gossip of having to rely on the management wife’s dowry pawn to maintain their family situation.
Qin Wuya thought that although the silver that she had on hand was not even the amount that the rich families of Cloud Prefecture had, it was at least at the level of the upper echelons of the upper echelons. She was not afraid of losing face for a hundred and eighty liang of silver.
As a result, although it still hurt a bit, but he still got Wang Nu to make one of the two sweet and red muslin dresses into two single clothes and a few kernels s, and the other one was still properly placed under the makeup box, thinking that he could give them a favor that day, so he gave it all away just in time.
During the two days while he was waiting for Bai Qingnian, Qin Wuya had indeed taken advantage of his illness to hide at home and refuse to come out.
However, what Qin Wuya was hiding was not the Chao Chung Hall’s backyard, but instead, she directly brought Fu Xi and to the Qin house that she had previously bought in Zhenxi, to accompany Madam Lin’s Zhang family.
When Madam Lin first saw Qin Wuya returning to her home, she was first overjoyed, but afterwards, she was alarmed. She even thought that Qin Wuya couldn’t stay in his husband’s house anymore, or had turned around and made a mistake, before being driven back to his parents’ house.
When Qin Wuya was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, she added on with the two girls’ promise that Qin Wuya was not rushed back, and was purely because she wanted to stay at her mother’s house for two days, that was why she was able to get Madam Lin to let him off.
Even so, when Qin Wuya went back to her room after washing up that night, she was still held by the Madam Lin and had a deep discussion.
Their eyes turned red, and they went back to their own rooms to rest.
However, even though Qin Wuya was helpless against the actions of the Madam Lin, he was still overjoyed.
At least for the better half of a year, although Madam Lin’s personality was still a little soft, she was no longer as cautious and timid as before. It was obvious that the environment in the day after tomorrow was very important for a person’s temperament change.
Of course, Qin Wuya knew that one of the main reasons for this was because the Zhang Clan Master was doing well, and the life of the Madam Lin was stable and peaceful.
Zhang Shi was not a person with a good temper compared to Madam Lin, he was a very decisive person, and had a sense of propriety when doing things.
In the past, in the Qin family, it was useless first because his father-in-law, Old Man Qin, had a powerful policy and did not allow his son’s wife to interfere. Second because Eldest Sister-in-Law Wang Cuihua was an unreasonable pervert.
Encountering these two people was similar to an Elementary Scholar meeting with a soldier. Even if the Zhang Clan had the talent to be the head of the clan, they would still be wiped out.
The Zhang Clan itself was still young, and there was a lot of time that could change. It would not be like the Madam Lin, where after dozens of years, it would become like this, and then, it would be over.
Of course, the biggest reason why Mrs Zhang could become a good family was because of Qin Dashan’s change.
Although the price for this change was a little high, it was precisely because of this change that Qin Dashan regretted it for the rest of his life, causing Qin Dashan to lose all confidence in his father and his elder brother. Furthermore, right now, he would rather leave the town to work for people to support his wife and children than return to the village and guard a few acres of land just for the sake of obtaining a title of filial piety.
With Qin Wuya’s courtyard as the master, the Zhang family was at a loss of what to do. Fortunately, her character was stable and she was able to handle the situation quickly.
When Qin Wuya returned, not only did his courtyard not show any signs of decline even after more than half a year, it had actually been tidied up cleanly, but there were also signs of anger, which made him very happy.
Every brick, tile, and object in this house was taken care of by Qin Wuya using her own two hands that she had worked hard to store up enough silver. It was the first house that Qin Wuya had set up, and also the place that she wished to live in the longest.
Although Qin Wuya knew that she would rarely have the chance to return it back, she was still extremely reluctant to let it fall.
On the second day Qin Wuya went home to stay with her mother, she coincidentally saw the day where Qin Dashan was going to take his monthly break. Seeing that the whole family was present, Madam Lin was overjoyed. She packed a few rows of silver and personally went to the pork stall on the street and cut off two of the pig’s hind legs. She said that she wanted to help Qin Wuya stew his legs to replenish her body.
Seeing the fat pig’s hind legs that the Madam Lin bought, Qin Wuya thought about it and decided to cook it herself.
Ever since he had married into the Chao Chung Hall, with the Wang Nu taking care of everything, it had been a long time since Qin Wuya had personally gone to the kitchen to make food.
But now, it was rare to be able to return to his parents’ home, and he only had Fu Xi and Fu Zhi, the two little girls, with Wang Nu constantly whispering by her ears to help him create the appearance of a manager wife, it made her heart itch even more.
Qin Wuya wanted to personally cook, so Madam Lin and Zhang Shi naturally did not agree, and said that there was no such thing as letting a little aunt who was returning home to be a guest to cook for her, but in the end, it was still Qin Wuya’s idea to pester her.
Seeing that the Kitchen had all the ingredients and it was still too early for him to eat the alimentary diet, Qin Wuya thought for a while and split the pig hind legs into four parts.
A piece was cut to the size of a rubber and stewed with soybeans and shallots. After a portion of water went to the minced blood, the meat was cooked until tender, then sprinkled with sugar, soy sauce, oil salt, garlic, made into a sugar hoof.
As for the other two dishes, one of them was stewed with lentinus edodes while the other was stewed with bamboo shoots.
Although Qin Wuya had not gone to the kitchen for half a year, her cooking skills were still there. Not long after, a burst of fragrance spread out from the Kitchen, causing the few people in the courtyard to salivate.
Other than the Xiao Bao who could not eat such a heavy meat dish, there were still the Madam Lin, the Zhang couple, Qin Wuya and Fu Zhi, a total of six adults.
Although the meat that the Madam Lin bought was thick, it was lesser for the six people, thus Qin Wuya stuffed some silver and sent Fu Xi to buy some fresh food, then she poured herself a jar of fruit wine.
At the end of the ceremony, the whole family sat down to eat and drink together.
Perhaps because there was less restraint and more freedom, or perhaps because Wang Nu’s culinary arts could be considered good under normal circumstances, but in the end, she would only be able to cook a few things, so at this moment, Qin Wuya’s appetite was still not good. She ate a total of two big bowls of rice, and only left after feeling sick from eating too much.
Of course, other than the fact that Madam Lin’s appetite was limited due to her old age and weak body, her stomach for the other five days was actually not much better than Qin Wuya’s.
Especially this little girl Fu Zhi, a mere nine years old girl, he actually managed to force himself to put down a big bowl of rice and half a plate of yellow bean soup.
Not to mention hoof meat is already thick and easy to fill, even that half bowl of soybeans is also easy to eat belly.
Without waiting for the night to come, the little girl could no longer stay in her own room because of her bloated stomach. She had actually pulled Fu Xi to run around the courtyard, telling him that she was tired and easily fell asleep.
Qin Wuya did not know whether to laugh or cry about Fu Xi’s actions, but she had eaten quite a bit herself, and went to Zhang Shi’s house to get some dried hawthorn slices.
From the traditional Chinese medicine: hawthorn taste Gan, sex slightly warm acid, into the spleen, stomach, liver meridian can invigorate the stomach to open the spleen to disintegrate food, accumulate Qi, improve the stomach septum, and dissipate blood.
To use western medicine to say that hawthorn contains many organic acids, especially lipase, which can promote the digestion of fat. So if you eat too much, lead to food accumulation after meals, take dried hawthorn slices to make tea, extremely useful.
Thinking that the big guy had eaten quite a bit tonight, Qin Wuya simply asked the Zhang Clan for more, adding on the Dry-lotus leaves, coix seeds, and licorice and boiled it into a big pot.
He gave one to each of them, of course, Fu Xi and the other two little girls didn’t pull it off either. Especially since Fu Zhi always liked to eat sweet and sour things, he simply left two for her.
She also didn’t need to be frightened by the food she had accumulated. Instead, it would cause her to think about it often in the future, making it easier for her to lose her appetite.
Qin Wuya stayed in Qin Residence for three days. During that time, Zhang Shan did not come by, but Xu San had come by before to deliver the news to Qin Wuya.
He said that Boss Liu had finished making all the sets of the imprint according to the carving patterns that Manager Wu had given him, and had also taught the few quick-witted workers in plant how to use them. Yesterday, he had already sent his regards to Manager Wu and planned to leave for Wu Prefecture in three days.
This Boss Liu had a special bloodline identity, and Qin Wuya was also unwilling to interact too much with him. Hence, she only took out two pieces of Origin Treasures, which were of the twelfth rank, and entrusted them to Xu San to send this Boss Liu off three days later, after sealing them off with red paper.
Feng Hong was Qin Wuya’s extra money. As for the Boss Liu’s wages and fare, they were naturally taken out from the accounts at the Manager Wu. As for the exact amount, Qin Wuya did not ask.
Thinking about it, paying the wages was something that Manager Wu knew how to do far better than an amateur like Qin Wuya.
