Chapter 338 Drink Later
Three hours later, Su He's makeup had faded a little, and her originally delicate peach blossom makeup had turned into a drunken makeup.
It has a different kind of charm when paired with the night sky at dusk. If I had a mobile phone, I could take a few pictures.
Su He admired herself in the mirror, and when she got tired, she took a fine cotton cloth and washed it with water.
Ancient rouge did not have any chemical additives, so washing it several times with clean water was enough. However, if you want to be more efficient, you can make some homemade facial cleansers.
There are several Bodhi trees next to the lotus plantation. The fruit is called soapberry. Rubbing the peel in water will produce foam, which can be used anywhere for washing hair, face and hands.
This is the season when the fruits are ripe. Su He made a note in his little notebook and planned to organize people to pick them next time he returns.
After washing her face, Su He sat on the recliner in a daze. Liu Bai brought her a glass of cooled sour plum juice and a plate of eight-treasure cake. It had a light sweetness, which was very suitable for summer.
"Lotus, I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat today? I bought beef today. The old cow broke its leg and I happened to come across it, so I bought 30 kilograms. I also bought fish."
There is beef! Su He's mouth is watering.
"That's a lot. I want to eat beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and beef stir-fried with green peppers. I can make the rest into beef jerky so I can eat it slowly."
Liu Bai chuckled, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll make some cucumber salad and some loofah soup. Do you want corn cakes for the main course?"
"Okay, let's steam some more buns. I think Brother Bing and the others will be studying late into the night."
Liu Bai nodded and went to work. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and two pots were burning at the same time. Liu Bai could handle it all by himself.
Su He happily drank a big sip of sour plum juice, then took a piece of Eight Treasures Cake and savored it slowly. He rocked the recliner gently. The cicadas chirping under the tree and the hawking sounds in the distance made Su He feel extremely comfortable.
When Wang Bin and the other two came back, they saw the younger sister (elder sister) looking leisurely and having a refill of sour plum juice.
"Sister Lotus!!!"
The sleepy Su He jumped up in fright.
"Where's the fire?"
Before Su He opened his eyes completely, he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.
He picked up the remaining plum juice she had drunk and drank it all in one gulp.
Su He narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Liang grimly. How dare this brat scare her?
"Sister Hehua, we are in such a plight. All those who requested leave today were called back by Lord Chen himself. Constable Li's daughter-in-law is not pregnant at all, and Constable Wang's mother is not sick at all, but Lord Chen deducted half a month's salary from them all. Others had their salary deducted for ten days."
"Really? I think you're in a pretty bad state too."
Wang Liang looked at Su He stupidly, "Sister He Hua, I'm not miserable. My monthly salary has not been deducted."
"Ah! Sister Lotus, why did you hit me?"
"I don't like you, so I beat you up to vent my anger. Do you accept this?"
Wang Liang was hit by Su He with a broom and ran away everywhere, not daring to fight back. Don't think he is stupid, Brother Bai is already watching on the side, waiting for Sister Hehua to come over to help when she is exhausted.
Brother Bai likes to help Sister Su He.
Wang Bin and the other man washed their hands silently, then went into the kitchen to help. No one paid any attention to this idiot.
"Sister Lotus, I was wrong. I shouldn't have scared you. Please forgive me."
Su He chased Wang Liang for a while and felt that the sour plum juice and eight-treasure cake in her stomach were almost consumed, so she quickly washed her hands and went into the kitchen to eat.
Wang Bin and Wang Zhi had already brought the dishes to the table, a large bowl of steaming steamed buns and corn cakes, accompanied by three colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes and a soup.
The Su family of five started to eat.
Wang Liang was very obedient now, he chose a seat farthest from Su He and sat down. Then he started eating, Wang Bin wanted to laugh just watching him.
"Sister, you came back early today?"
"Well, in less than half an hour, I went to the dock for a stroll, and I will go to the county government office tomorrow afternoon. How is your reading?"
When Su He mentioned reading, Wang Bin and others felt like vomiting.
"Don't mention it. I'm about to throw up. I'm going to go out for a walk after dinner. I won't read tonight. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Wang Bin, the activist, turned pale after he said this, not to mention Wang Zhi and Wang Liang.
"Sister Hehua, we have inquired about it. The day after tomorrow will be a lottery, and each person will have three chances. The examiner is Mr. Chen."
"Well, you guys work hard."
This sounded a bit strange, and Wang Bin and the other two looked at Su He at the same time.
"Sister, don't you need to take the test?"
"I took the test this morning, and Master Chen said I got full marks."
Su He's casual words made the three Wang brothers envious to the point of crying.
"Forget it, I won't watch it. Didn't Constable Jin say that we are fine as grain transporters? Brother, let's go to the dock to play later. I want to buy some wine."
Wang Liang had given up on himself. He looked at Wang Bin with eager eyes and poked Wang Zhi with his right hand.
"Okay, let's talk about the exam tomorrow. We'll go buy it later."
"Xiaobai, do you have any snacks?"
Liu Bai nodded, "I braised some tofu, large intestines and chicken feet, which can be drunk with wine later."
Su He looked at Wang Bin and the other two and said, "Then buy some and go home and eat. You guys go out on patrol all the time, and it would be bad if someone saw you drinking and acting crazy. The rules say that you are not allowed to act crazy when you are drunk outside."
"Okay, okay, big brother, then let's buy some and come back to drink. It will be more lively if we have more people."
Wang Liang was happy. As for the wine, a pot of medium-quality wine cost two taels. They could not afford it before, and they rarely had the chance to smell the wine when passing by.
Now they can drink it every day.
Wang Bin glanced at Liu Bai and lowered his head to eat. Wang Zhi smiled and continued.
"Then let's buy a jar, Sister Lotus, would you and Brother Bai like to come together? Let's buy something that won't make you drunk."
Su He has always been a supportive person, and she knows that the brothers all want to relax.
"You guys drink with Xiaobai. There's some rice wine at home. I'll drink that and join you guys at the table."
"That's fine, Brother Bai, can you drink it?"
Liu Bai smiled slightly, looked at Wang Liang and said, "I can drink a little. You guys buy what you like."
"Okay, big brother, have you finished eating? Let's go out and get some fresh air after we finish eating. It's very cool at the dock at night."
Wang Zhi urged Wang Bin to eat quickly, and he also hurried to eat.
"Brother Bai, this meat is delicious. It doesn't look like pork."
Su He coughed, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"This is beef. A cow fell and died and was sold at the market. Xiaobai bought some. We don't usually get to eat it, so this time there are only this much on the table. Some of it was made into beef jerky. You can take some to the government office tomorrow and eat some when you're hungry."
After hearing this, Wang Bin and the other two picked up beef less often. They were peasants and loved cows the most. Although they understood it, they still felt uncomfortable.
Su He saw this and reminded herself that from now on, she could only eat beef with Liu Bai alone.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them finished eating. Without even changing their clothes, they went out and headed straight for the dock.
Su He saw that there was still a lot of beef left and urged Liu Bai to eat more.
"Xiaobai, don't use beef to cook when Brother Bing and the others are around."
Of course Liu Bai also noticed it, but he didn’t care. As long as Su He liked it, he would keep buying it.
"Okay, next time I'll make it into jerky and save it for you to eat slowly."
This means I will buy it again.
Su He did not refuse, "Then buy less next time, or you can eat with me. It's hot this time, and it will go bad if you make too much."
"It's okay. I'll see to it."
Liu Bai smiled at Su He soothingly, then used a serving chopstick to pick up some food for Su He.
"Do you like today's food? I see you didn't eat much today."
"I didn't exercise in the afternoon, and I haven't digested what I ate yet, so I can't eat now. Everything you cook is delicious. There's still a lot left, and it's going to be a waste if I can't finish it."
Su He looked at the meat dishes on the table with heartache.
"It's okay. I'll put it in the well later and you can eat it tomorrow. When you wake up tomorrow, I'll make you some tomato beef brisket noodles with freshly made pickles. Do you want some cold cucumber salad?"
“Yes, yes, yes, yes.”
Su He quickly agreed, saying that she also liked beef brisket noodles.
"I will sleep until noon tomorrow, so you can eat first if you are hungry."
"it is good."
After discussing tomorrow's lunch, Su He was in a good mood and no beef was wasted.
