Chapter 50 Trivia

In the evening, Xu Hao accompanied Hongye Guagua Melon Seed to play, intentionally making her sister happy, and deliberately lost several times in a row. Xu Qinglian and Xiao Yushi sat on the side and whispered, laughing from time to time.

Hongye tilted his head and thought about what to win, and clapped his hands and said, "Yesterday, I picked a few plum blossoms from a green bamboo and placed them in my grandmother's house. My grandmother said it was good, I want it too."

"Okay, wait for me to get it for you." Just a trivial matter, Xu Hao naturally slapped his chest proudly and agreed.

Hongye looked at her sister happily, and said to the other side, "Since my cousin comes, my elder sister has been with me, and my mind to practice has faded. It's great not to mention the matter of cultivating a Buddhist temple."

"Yes, it's great." Xu Hao sighed a little. Unexpectedly, out of a temporary righteousness, he planted good results. It seems that if you encounter similar things in the future, you should help me. Even if there is no reward, you can still be at ease.

While talking, Chunyue hit Yingying downstairs and said, "Mrs. I sent someone to tell you that I was a little tired of handling trivial matters today. I said that there was no need to go over to eat. I also said that the weather was cold and I was careful not to get sick. At night, someone should look at the hot pot, and don't forget to open a few windows to ventilate. The old lady was in a bad mood. Don't talk nonsense when she went over to pay her respects."

"Yes." Xu Qinglian kept standing and listening. After Chunyue finished speaking, she smiled and asked Xiao Yushi: "It's a coincidence that the girl Yuelan came over and said that she wouldn't have to pay tribute to grandma these days. Let's start our own family. What do you want to taste?"

Xiao Yushi shook her head gently and whispered: "Everything is good, I have never been picky about food since I was a child."

Xu Qinglian knew that her cousin was used to living a life with her face, and she was careful at all times and never dared to express her feelings. She couldn't help but feel a little sad. She held her little hands wrapped in white cotton and smiled: "In the Stone Record that Hao'er said last night, those ladies opened poetry clubs in snowy days to enjoy merry and eat venison. I saw you eager to try it at that time, why don't we eat venison too?"

Xiao Yushi's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile. Xu Qinglian smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hongye, did you win?"

Hongye said proudly: "Brother, he is so stupid, so you need to say it!"

Xu Hao suddenly smiled bitterly, thinking that this is because good intentions are not rewarded. As expected, you must leave your name without leaving your name when doing good deeds. People who save you will not accept your affection in the future.

Looking at the smiling expression of his elder sister, Xu Hao quickly said first: "Hongye has already told me to find Meihua, so I have settled the gambling debt. What do you want? Let's agree first, I won't do it if I'm so embarrassed."

"Stingy." Xu Qinglian smiled and cursed, "I remember you said you brought some fresh venison from the capital to replenish your elders. You can get a piece of it and let us enjoy it and taste it."

"This is easy." Xu Hao immediately stood up and smiled, "Are you thinking about roasting venison? Actually, the taste is not that good. The best ones are beef and mutton. I'm greedy when you say that. You can wait for me and let's have barbecue together tonight."

In ancient times, cows were important helpers who were plowing fields and were not allowed to be slaughtered and eaten. However, this would not cause any trouble for the wealthy families. Occasionally, cows died by accidents, but it was just a fine. This cow was not sick or plague. Your government would not have buried the dead cows, right?

In this way, the cow was dumped with eight pieces, and relatives and friends sent some. After a while, the cows from relatives also had an accident and they had delicious beef to eat at home.

But after all, beef is a rare thing, unless it is a wealthy family, and you can eat it a few times a year. As for the idea of ​​opening a cattle farm to make a fortune, let’s take a break quickly. Let’s not talk about whether you have the ability or not. Even if you raise more cattle, it is not enough to plow the fields.

Hongye was like a greedy girl and said excitedly: "Brother, I'll go with you."

Xu Hao deliberately made fun of her and said, "Do you dare to watch the scene of cutting meat? If you dare to watch it, I will take you there."

"It's not that I've seen you before, I'm so underestimating you." Hongye shouted in discontently.

Xiao Yushi quietly looked at her brother and sister who were extremely intimate and quarreled with each other, and couldn't help but feel envious. She didn't know that the Xu family planned to keep her. When she thought about returning to the cold and gloomy home in a few days, she felt depressed.

Xu Qinglian always pays attention to her cousin. Seeing that her face darkened, it was not difficult to guess what she thought of. She immediately hugged her shoulders and sighed: "I pity you can't get home. My mother said she would keep you for at least three or five years. She has already greeted the Xiao family."

"Really?" Xiao Yushi was immediately moved and immediately felt her aunt's kindness. Her eyes were red when she was moved, and she sat there in tears.

Xu Hao's lips twitched, and it turned out that this was another consequence of doing good deeds without leaving a name, alas!

He couldn't stand the scene of the girl crying, so he winked at Hongye. The brother and sister quietly went downstairs and left the eldest sister to comfort others by themselves.

Barbecue is the most popular snack in the streets and alleys in later generations. It is not much money spent, and it is eaten happily without any restrictions, which is just too disturbing the people.

Anyone who likes to eat barbecue knows that if you don’t eat it for a while, you will feel particularly tempting when you smell the scent of the fireworks and smoked kebabs from afar, and you can’t help but have a desire to eat.

But I would like to remind you that barbecue is not very hygienic after all, so you have to pay attention to the source of the meat. It is best not to eat it too frequently, as it is really bad for the body.

Xu Hao took Hongye to the kitchen and asked the chef to cut a large piece of frozen venison and ordered a large piece of frozen beef stored before the New Year. Fortunately, there were fresh mutton and pork. He picked the tenderest part and asked the chef to cut it into thin slices and mix it with rice wine and various ingredients.

It happened that a third uncle's colleague sent someone to beat Shandong Kuaima to send a New Year gift. Xu Hao immediately robbed more than a dozen of them. After thinking about it, he asked the chef to prepare some fish to roast it. In addition, he stir-fry a few vegetarian dishes and stew a pot of rice transported from the north, plus a small jar of good daughter Hong.

As the legitimate son, Xiao took over the power of the family today. These chefs and managers were eager to please him, and agreed with a smile on their faces.

Hongye looked through the red gift list curiously and said, "Where are you blessed oranges and Dunhuang melons? Hey, there are densely stained lychees. This is rare, I want to eat it."

"Dunhuang melon is a cantaloupe, is the lychees pickled?" Xu Hao turned his head and asked, "Is there any surplus? Give us one."

The woman in charge smiled and said, "Although there are not many things, Brother Hao has spoken, so there are naturally some. However, Brother Hao and the girl remember not to mention it in front of the old lady. The old man is old and some children are picky in food. This lychee and Dunhuang melon is not a good thing that is always there. Once you have eaten it, you will have no place to buy it even if you break the legs and feet of our people below."

Xu Hao nodded understandingly, but said, "In the future, all these good things will be delivered to the old lady first. Don't think you are very smart. The old lady actually doesn't know what? Even if you force you to buy them, you can just buy them all over the capital. If you can't buy them, you will come to me."

"This." The housekeeper looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xu Hao raised his face and said in a stressful tone: "This is filial piety. If you want to get in the way, don't blame me for turning against me.

The woman in charge was startled and said hurriedly: "I just say a few words to the boys. I pity them for their hard work outside in the heat and winter. Since the third master said that, then I will send good things to the old lady first in the future."

"That's how it should be." Xu Hao smiled with satisfaction, held Hongye's little hand and turned around and walked. After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something. "Mom is actually worried that someone in the old lady's house will rely on her power to ask for it. The boys complain a lot, so it's hard to be a human being in the middle, right?"

The woman immediately smiled bitterly, and the cooks were talking about their suffering. It was just that someone around the old lady was jealous and ran to ask for delicious food. Not only were these rare fruits difficult to buy, but the price was outrageous. The boys were not willing to run errands from afar, asking for benefits. Not only did they give them benefits if they couldn't buy them, but they had to be scolded. When reconciling the accounts, the wives would accuse the people of spending money randomly. Often they offend people several times and did not do anything good.

After hearing the complaints from everyone, Xu Hao sneered: "I don't like those bad habits. If you come again, you will say that it is the rule I set. Whoever wants to satisfy your cravings will spend money to ask the boys to go. In the future, except for the seasonal fruits and vegetables, you will only meet the instructions of your grandmother and the three wives. Anyone else can eat it and find a way to do it if you don't have to."

"With the third master's words, we will be at peace in the future." The woman in charge was immediately happy.

Xu Hao disagreed and shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy. When the elder brother and the others come back, it's useless to ask for anything you want as a shield. This person will use his brains to take advantage of loopholes. He will definitely ask some men to stand up for it."

The woman in charge smiled and sneered: "With that ability, we can move a few young masters. We will recognize it even if we work harder. Counting your fingers is just a few beautiful girls and old mothers. At most, the others will occasionally talk once or twice. I will blush for them if they talk too much about such trivial matters. Are you not annoyed by the men? You will make yourself look shameless?"

"That's right." Xu Hao secretly said that the trivial matters at home are so annoying. He spoke and did things too straightforwardly. He wanted to deal with everything, so he was very patient, wise and skillful. He was indispensable.
