Chapter 120 No comparison, no harm
Chapter 120 No comparison, no harm
Everyone in the Lu family felt a little reluctant.
But people from other villages imitated them in making candles and selling them, and they deliberately kept their prices down so that they couldn't sell their candles.
It would be better to give it to the villagers, after all, they are all from the same village and you can earn favors from them.
It’s true that Wulang’s wife is very smart and can think of everything.
If it were them, they would just have to watch helplessly as others took away their business and curse behind their backs.
Therefore, they admired and trusted Qiao Ye even more.
Qiao Ye then said to Da Lang, "By the way, I will make some cakes later. When you go to the county town tomorrow, bring some to grandma to try."
"Just say that I made it specially to honor her."
We must pay more attention to caring for the old lady.
There is no harm without comparison.
Without the comparison with her filial granddaughter-in-law, how could the unfilial behavior of the scumbag father-in-law and his family be more prominent?
Then he looked at Lu Lao Da and his brothers and said, "Each of you should make something and have your eldest cousin and his brothers take it to honor grandma tomorrow."
Let the contrast of filial piety be stronger.
The brothers of Lu Lao Da, including the most astute Lu Lao Si, are all truly filial to the old lady.
Everyone was very happy to hear her say this.
I was thinking more in my heart that Wulang's wife was filial and cared about the old lady.
Otherwise, even they wouldn't have thought of sending something to the old lady as a token of their respect.
No wonder the old lady let Wulang's wife be the head of the family.
So each room went to prepare things.
Qiao Ye went to the kitchen to make red date cake and egg cake.
These two cakes can be made without an oven.
After the new house is built, two more ovens will have to be installed.
As living standards improve, so will delicious foods and desserts.
Mrs. Lu had made shoes for the old lady before, and they were just finished these two days, so she gave the shoes to the eldest wife as a gift.
Mrs. Lu made clothes.
Mrs. Lu made pants.
Mrs. Lu is good at cooking. She can’t just cook a few dishes and send them to the county town, right?
It's cold now, and it might even be a bargain for Lao Wu's family.
So I came to ask Qiao Ye for advice.
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "Just don't make hot dishes."
"I'll teach you how to make cold noodles. You can get up early tomorrow morning and ask your eldest cousin to take them to the county town."
The weather is so hot now and she wants to eat too.
If my third aunt makes it, she can make more for the whole family to eat at noon.
Lu Sansao's eyes lit up with joy, and she said gratefully, "Okay, Wulang's wife is still very thoughtful."
Not only was she able to show filial piety to the old lady, she also learned how to cook.
The next morning, Mrs. Lu made the cold noodles under Qiao Ye's instructions.
If you add the seasoning to the cold noodles, it will not taste good when you go to the county town.
So Qiao Ye took a small wooden barrel to store the seasoning.
county seat.
The old lady doesn't sleep much and wakes up before dawn.
Of course she had to let her daughter-in-law serve her when she got up.
So he called Yu Wanzhi, who had been in a lot of trouble in the past few days, and asked her to help him change clothes and wash up.
After that, he went to the kitchen to supervise Yu Wanzhi and Lu Zhoulan in making breakfast.
Staring and scolding.
It's really an eyesore to see the unfamiliar look of this mother and daughter while cooking.
It turns out that these years, this mother and daughter have been living as rich ladies in the county town, and they can't even cook a meal.
She had been hanging out with the old ladies outside quite frequently recently and had found out about it.
Before, the fifth brother’s family actually paid to hire a cook.
Later, the cook was dismissed and Old Lady Yu was asked to cook.
Someone told Mrs. Lu that they had heard Mrs. Yu boast that not only could she come to her son-in-law's house for dinner every month, but her daughter would also give her two or three hundred coins as a filial gift.
This made Old Mrs. Lu very angry.
When he returned home that day, he couldn't help but torment Yu Wanzhi even more.
Whenever Lu Qingrong offered help, he would be scolded by the old lady.
They even tossed together.
Lu Qingrong didn't want to go home these days.
It was only for the recipe that he gritted his teeth and came back, being tolerant and trying to coax the old lady.
Yu Wanzhi and her daughter were also unable to bear it and wanted to collapse.
It was Fangzi who always supported them.
Of course, even if there was no prescription, if people told others about how Old Lady Lu treated them, they would only say that this mother-in-law was a little troublesome, but they would not say how big of a problem it was.
After all, in everyone's mind, the mother-in-law is the elder, and there is nothing wrong with letting the daughter-in-law serve her.
So Yu Wanzhi could only endure it, gritting her teeth to serve the old lady every day, and coaxing her to be obedient in various ways.
Just to coax the prescription out of the old lady as quickly as possible so that Lu Qingrong could send her back to the village.
After finishing her breakfast with disdain, Old Mrs. Lu took her granddaughter and grandson out to visit friends and chat.
The old ladies in this alley all get along well with her.
After breakfast, many old ladies who have nothing to do will go to the grain shop, sit there to make soles for shoes, and chat to pass the time.
Old Mrs. Lu soon joined in.
More than an hour later, she suddenly saw the three Dalang brothers passing by.
He immediately shouted, "Da Lang, why are you here?"
Dalang was stunned when he saw the old lady sitting in the grain shop.
Thinking of what Wulang's wife had told him, he immediately walked over with a smile.
"Grandma, Wulang's wife asked us to come and see you."
"She even made some cakes yesterday and asked me to bring them to you."
"My mother made shoes for you, and my second aunt made clothes for you."
"Aunt made you some pants."
"Aunt San learned how to make cold noodles from Wulang's wife. She got up early in the morning to make them. Let us bring them to you."
Wulang's wife warned him that if the old lady was outside or there were outsiders present.
I have to say these words on purpose in front of others, grandma will definitely like to hear it.
It can also let everyone know how filial the Lu family is.
Sure enough, Mrs. Lu had a big smile on her face and felt very happy.
But he pretended to be disgusted and said, "They are the ones who have too much to do. I have enough food, drink and clothes here."
Dalang said hurriedly: "You don't need anything, but we must show our filial piety."
"Wu Lang's wife said that the weather is too hot and you may have a poor appetite, so she asked Aunt San to make cold noodles to stimulate your appetite."
"I made more. If you have any old sisters who are good friends with you, you can let everyone have a taste."
Wulang's wife did ask Third Aunt to do more, saying that she wanted the old lady to give some out as a favor and win people's hearts.
In the past, the old lady would definitely be heartbroken and would scold Dalang.
But these were the words her favorite words from Wulang's wife said, so she thought they made sense.
Although she still felt distressed, she asked Dalang to take out the cold noodles so that she could share them with the old sisters present.
Of course, there is also the desire to show off.
The other old ladies all apologized at first, but Old Mrs. Lu said that this was a gift from her granddaughter-in-law and asked everyone to eat together.
They were all curious about what Liangpi was, so they said they shamelessly tried it.
The old lady from the grain shop also went to get some bowls and chopsticks.
Dalang first took an empty bucket, filled it half with cold noodles, poured in the seasoning and mixed it evenly.
Then a small bowl was given to each old lady.
"This cold noodle is very refreshing and appetizing. It's delicious."
When they went out in the morning, they each ate a big bowl.
I'm still thinking about eating it when I get home in the evening.
Now, in addition to making money every day, the thing they look forward to most is Wulang's wife teaching Third Aunt new foods and then cooking them for the whole family.
Old Mrs. Lu invited the old ladies to eat together.
She had great confidence in Qiao Ye's cooking skills and took the first bite.
Then he couldn't help but lower his head and continued eating quickly.
As expected, Wulang's wife's craftsmanship is better than that of that useless mother and daughter.
If it weren't for the trouble she had to cause to the fifth brother's wife, she would have wanted to go back to the village.
She now thinks about this delicacy every day.
Therefore, he particularly dislikes his youngest son and his wife.
