Bai Zhi sat down beside her mother, took her hand, half joking and half-heartedly said: “Niang, don’t you believe me? In the future, our days will get even better and better . These 200 silver coins are just the beginning, I will make more money to let you live a good life . So, what buying two sets of clothes can count on?”
Zhao Lan was very touched, she took her daughter’s hand and held it tightly: “Well, my daughter is good . My daughter has a good heart, niang is already very satisfied . ”
The next morning, Bai Zhi got up early, and after washing her face, she went to the front house of the Hu family to cook breakfast . When Zhao Lan arrived, the fragrant porridge and side dishes were already arranged on the table .
Hu Changlin’s eyes widen: “Zhi Er’s craft is really good . It’s the same porridge, but it’s exceptionally fragrant, making you all go hungry . ”
Bai Zhi was setting the tableware, when she saw Hu Feng didn’t come out in his room, she curiously asked: “Where did Hu Feng go? Every time we eat, he always came in time, so why he was not here today?”
Hu Changlin smiled and said: “He, he said that he will go with you to the town . So, he went to Old Li’s house to rent the ox cart . He doesn’t like crowded people, so he went there early to rent . ”
Bai Zhi said: “He is really strange, squeezing with the crowd can make the shopping more lively . You can talk with others and relieve your boredom . ”
Hu Changlin shook his head . “You don’t know his temper . He never likes to deal with strangers . He doesn’t like to talk to strangers . He hates strangers approaching him . ”
Bai Zhi thought of Hu Feng’s cold face and shrugged her shoulders: “Maybe he has that character before, so even if he lost his memory he didn’t change . ”
Hu Changlin nodded and sighed, he didn’t say anything anymore .
The next moment, from outside, they heard the sound of an ox cart . Hu Changlin hurriedly went to the door and welcome Hu Feng, who just arrived: “Your back, wash quickly, the food is ready . ”
After hearing the food, Hu Feng immediately stepped down the cart and tide the rope of the ox to the stone pier in the courtyard . Then, he quickly took a scoop of water from the tank to wash his hands and sweaty face . . . …
The breakfast was very simple, it was only a white porridge with side dishes . The white porridge was cooked very well, it was soft and sweet . The small dishes were the remaining vegetables in the kitchen, that was cut into small pieces . After it was cut, it was fried in oil and spices . The hot oil that covered the vegetables made it very fragrant .
Hu Feng ate three bowls of porridge in one breath . Although he had a large appetite, he could only eat two bowls at most . But today, he ate three bowls . It can be seen how much the white glutinous rice changed the porridge taste .
Hu Changlin smiled and said: “Zhi’er, to whom did you learn to cook? I’m afraid your cuisine is not worst than a chef in the town . ”
Bai Zhi replied in modesty: “Where will I learn it? It’s nothing but my own thoughts and consideration to your preference . ”
Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi seriously: “I will go to the town to buy some of the ingredients to your specialty dish . There’s no more food in the house . ”
Her specialty dish? Well, in these past few days, they have been helping them, mother and daughter, so she wanted them to eat a nice meal to return the favor .
“All right, when we get to the town, we will go to the market first . Let’s buy some ingredients that everyone loves to eat . Let’s buy some rice and noodles . Then, tomorrow, let’s eat dumplings . ”
Both Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan got curious: “Dumplings? What are dumplings?”
This time, Bai Zhi’s facial expression changed and said, “You don’t know dumplings? You’ve never eaten a dumpling?” Isn’t dumplings a food in ancient times? How can they not know?
Zhao Lan was the most curious of all . After all, why does her daughter know something that she doesn’t even know: “I have never heard of it, how did you know about this dumplings?”
