Chapter 43 Li’s knowledge
Liu Ye's eyes turned red as she said this. She had always been anxious and uneasy when she married into the Yang family. Before, because her parents-in-law were incompatible, she could only count on Yang Datou. It can be said that Yang Datou was her god. If she had said anything before, she would have to find a way to tell Yang Datou. Datou left together. Now her mother-in-law has changed and she has a new backbone. She can stay at home with peace of mind, but this does not mean that she is willing to be separated from Yang Datou for a long time.
Yang Datou quickly comforted him, "Yi Zi, don't worry, I can go home once a month. Over there, I will stay in the kitchen and cook. I will not go out and have no contact with outsiders. There will be no danger."
Liu Ye nodded repeatedly.
The two of them had a heart-to-heart talk before returning to the yard and continuing to work.
Jiang Ning and Yang Datou set out before dawn the next day. When they arrived at the river ditch, they found that Yang Han had already arrived. It seemed that they had gained a lot. He sent the two to the Wei River and watched them get on the fishing boat before leaving.
It was almost noon when we arrived at Linjiang Inn.
Shopkeeper Hua's eyes lit up when he saw them, but he didn't know how good Yang Datou was, so he asked Yang Datou to cook all the dishes for him to try.
Although Yang Datou was nervous, he didn't show any timidity. He carried out the process in an orderly manner according to Jiang Ning's teachings. Although the speed was not as fast as Jiang Ning's, the flower shopkeeper was already very satisfied. After taking another taste, he immediately decided to let Yang Datou stay for a thousand and two dollars a month. Hundreds of dollars, including food and accommodation, and two days of rest at the end of the month.
The two chefs in the back kitchen initially looked down upon Jiang Ning and Yang Datou. After tasting Yang Datou's cooking, they both fell silent. Master Su, who came from Suzhou Prefecture, was very polite to Yang Datou and even invited him Enjoyed the pastries made by myself.
The local chef You had to give Jiang Ning some advice before, and it was really helpful for his cooking. Naturally, he would not take Qiao. Jiang Ning stayed in the kitchen for a long time and saw that the two chefs were getting along fairly well, so he felt relieved.
Early the next morning, she set out to go back.
When it was time to rush to the market, Ms. Li brought the eggs she had saved, and Ms. Zhou carried a basket of vegetables. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law set out from the old house and met other village women at the entrance of the village. Ms. Li kept looking around on tiptoe.
Grandma Song beside her asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Li Shi looked away and said, "See if my eldest daughter-in-law is here."
“Hey! Why do you just look at your eldest daughter-in-law? Why don’t you look at your second daughter-in-law?” Granny Song looked like a gossip.
Speaking of Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Li felt unhappy. Everyone had said that Mrs. Qian was pregnant before. She was still thinking about having another baby in the family, and she was very happy! Unexpectedly, I was so hungry! It's true that lazy people are the most troublesome and have a lot of nonsense. She specifically asked Qian to stay at home and not go out to embarrass herself when going to the market today.
Seeing Mrs. Li’s unkind eyes, Grandma Song guessed that Mrs. Qian was probably trying to commit suicide again. She immediately approached Mrs. Li and whispered, “Have you heard?”
“What did you hear?” Li frowned and was confused.
Grandma Song was shocked, "You don't even know? Those who work in the east of the village said that they haven't seen your family's heads in the ground for several days! Your grandson-in-law and several grandsons are doing all the work in the fields, your precious What’s wrong with the eldest grandson?”
“Who did you listen to?” Li frowned fiercely.
Ms. Zhou on the side was also shocked, "Ms. Song, you can't joke about this kind of thing!"
The land is the lifeblood of farmers. There is not even a place to live in the big house, and the livelihood depends on the income from the land. There is absolutely no way Yang Datou can ignore it. If he hasn't gone to the land for several days in a row, something big must have happened!
In addition, Jiang Ning did not go to the market with everyone this time. The more Li and Zhou thought about it, the more frightened they became. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "Auntie, give me the eggs and I will take them to the town to sell them. You can go to the east of the village and have a look."
"Yes, yes, yes! I have to go and have a look! I'll leave the things to you, but don't sell them cheaply!" Mrs. Li was extremely anxious, and worried that Mrs. Zhou wouldn't be able to handle it. She was worried about everything, and wished she could divide one person into two. .
After Zhou's repeated assurances, she hurriedly walked to the village. She rushed to the east of the village and found that it was Liu Ye who was working in the fields. Her whole face turned pale, and she rushed to Liu Ye without saying a word, " Where’s Big Head? Why isn’t Big Head in the ground?”
“Grandma? Why are you here?” Willow Ye wiped her sweat and looked at the aggressive Mr. Li strangely.
Li asked again, "Where is your mother-in-law? Did she get into trouble again?"
“No, no, my mother-in-law is at home!” Liu Ye quickly defended Jiang Ning.
Mrs. Li didn't believe it at all. She turned back up the hill and saw Jiang Ning and Yang Erdan busy before they entered the yard. The smell of the yard almost made her breathless, "Old man! What are you doing?" ghost?"
Jiang Ning raised his head and was a little surprised to see Ms. Li, so he went over and replied, "I'm opening oysters! Why is grandma here? Do you want to come in and sit down?"
As soon as Ms. Li took a step forward, she was dissuaded by the fishy smell of the sea. She took a few steps back, pinched her nose and said, "Go farther away and talk!"
As she spoke, Li quickly went downhill. Standing under the banyan tree, she could still smell the fishy smell of the sea, but it wasn't that strong. She retreated a little further, and then she finally calmed down under the big banyan tree further away.
Jiang Ning also followed, "Auntie, what happened?"
Li made a face and stared at her unkindly, "You still ask me? Tell me! What happened to Datou? Why haven't you seen anyone for so many days? Be honest! Don't try to fool me!"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "That's really weird! How can I know that my boss is not here these days when my mother-in-law has never been to the village? Is it possible that there are still people in the village who care about my family so much? I really want to thank them! Why not? When someone gives us something to support us, we will know that we are not afraid of talking behind our backs!"
Li Shi glared at her again, "Don't talk to me about all this! What on earth has Datou done? Such a good child, don't let it be ruined by you!"
"Aniang! Why did I destroy the child? That's my own child! Do you think I'm the same as Qian? Even the child can be used!" Jiang Ning was very angry, and gave Qian some more eye drops.
Seeing Li's attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, Jiang Ning had no choice but to confess honestly, "The boss is indeed not at home. He went out to make money."
"Earn money? What kind of money can he make?" Li's voice rose several times in anger. Is there any work nearby that everyone doesn't know about? It's not Yang Datou's turn.
“I’m serious! He went to Pine Creek Town.”
"Songxi Town?" Li was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was such a town, but it was thousands of miles away from them. How could Yang Datou travel so far away?
Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't believe it, Jiang Ning had to say: "Mom! Don't forget what my mother-in-law does? I grew up on the water, so naturally I have seen some things in the world. Isn't it because life has become unbearable a while ago? So I took Datou to inquire about my parents' family. After asking around, I found out about Songxi Town. They mainly eat aquatic products and seafood there, and I happen to know how to cook a few dishes.
I was attracted by an innkeeper. They wanted me to stay there as a cook. How could I, a widow, have the nerve to travel so far away? After a final discussion, I taught Datou how to cook and Datou stayed there to work for a month. There are hundreds of articles! "
