Chapter 107 The Mo Family Moved
It was not until the evening that Xie Yingfeng took Qu Wanning to Su Jixiang's home.
This time, both of them looked excited.
Su Jixiang was preparing dinner and making pancakes.
Xie Yingfeng went to find Wei Ling, while Qu Wanning went straight to the kitchen to look for Su Jixiang.
"Jixiang, I've had a very fulfilling day today!" She told Su Jixiang all about her experiences today.
Before, she was trapped in the palace. When she was bored every day, she would either dress up or read some storybooks to relieve her boredom, or go for a walk in the imperial garden, or at worst, she would just sit there and daydream.
And today she finally figured out some surprises that life brings.
It was the first time she disguised herself, the first time she went to someone's house with Xie Yingfeng to ask questions indirectly, the first time she went to the court with Xie Yingfeng, and the first time she watched Xie Yingfeng judge a case in court. Although it was only a family matter, she still watched it with great interest.
"So the issue of the Mo family father and son has been resolved?" Su Jixiang asked with a smile while kneading the dough.
"It's solved." Qu Wanning's eyes were shining. "In fact, I think that although the father and son's behavior was a bit abominable, it was also because of misunderstanding, so I felt a little pitiful. The girl from the Zhao family made it very clear that she would not marry into the mountains. If she wanted to marry, she would only find a family of equal status in the city. The family has a small business, so they don't have to do anything dangerous in the future. They can live a safe and peaceful life."
"What do the Mo family father and son say?" Su Jixiang pinched the kneaded dough into small balls, rolled the small dough into thin long strips, and then placed the previously made pastry evenly on the dough. He then rolled up the dough again from the beginning, turned it over in another direction, and flattened it.
"Mo Xingwen said that his family is rich now and can settle down in the city." Qu Wanning said. "But the girl from the Zhao family said, why don't you understand what people say? She already has a favorite candidate in mind. She smiled at Mo Xingwen because she saw that he was honest and simple, and there was no other meaning. The pair of shoes she gave him last time was indeed as Manager Zhao said, and the money could not be changed. Seeing that the shoes on his feet were broken, she simply used the shoes to pay for it. She also said that the value of the pair of shoes was far more than two copper coins. If she had to care about this, she asked the Mo family to return her forty-eight copper coins, because the shoes were sold for fifty coins."
Su Jixiang asked Guihua to light the fire, poured some oil into the pot, stirred it with a spatula so that the oil evenly hung on the edge of the pot, and then put the pressed dough in.
"So it's all the Mo family's misunderstanding." Su Jixiang asked with a smile as he carefully turned the pancake over.
"Yes, yes, yes. The Mo family's father and son's faces changed color at that time." Qu Wanning smiled, "Although I felt that what they did was wrong, but when I saw Mo Xingwen at that time, I felt a little pitiful for him. After all, it was the first time he liked a girl, and it was all his misunderstanding and imagination."
"It's fate." Su Jixiang turned the pancake over again. Because the ice was pressed very thin, both sides were quickly fried into a golden brown.
"It can only be like this." Qu Wanning sighed, "When the Zhao family left, Xie Yingfeng even asked the Mo family father and son what to do in the future."
"What did they say?" In fact, this is what Su Jixiang cares about most.
Because the Mo family father and son had seen her before. Although she was wearing men's clothes, she did not cover her face. If they met again, there was no guarantee that the father and son would not recognize her again.
"The Mo family said that they had made such a big joke this time, and they had caused so much trouble in the village and the city, so they would move when they returned." Qu Wanning said, "They were also afraid that their forced marriage would get out, and that Mo Xingwen would have trouble finding a good girl in the future. In addition, Mo Xingwen was really sad, so they decided to move to Mo Dashan's brother's place. His brother went to Dongshan County a few years ago, and he often wrote to them asking them to go there too. He said that there were few prey in Mangcheng in winter, and there was the threat of war."
"They are moving away?" Su Jixiang looked at Qu Wanning with some surprise. This was beyond her expectations. She had originally thought that the father and son would stop fighting in the future.
"Yes." Qu Wanning smiled, "It is said that another letter came a few days ago, urging them to go. So Mo Dashan decided to move. Xie Yingfeng also said that if the Mo family is willing to move, he will pay for the carriage for the move. After all, they were also locked up for a whole day, so this can be regarded as compensation for them."
"How did the Mo family father and son react?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Of course I am very grateful to Xie Yingfeng." Qu Wanning said, "They said they would pack up when they got home, and it would be done in two days at most. Anyway, there are already many people who want the house, so as long as they offer a discount, it will definitely be sold quickly. Xie Yingfeng said that if they can finish it so quickly, he will ensure that the Mo family father and son can go to Dongshan County to celebrate the Spring Festival."
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Su Jixiang talked to Qu Wanning while he made the pancakes one by one and scooped out a large bowl.
Today, Xie Yingfeng and Qu Wanning went to the Zhao family. Before leaving, they asked someone to bring a message, saying that they had worked so hard for this matter, and they must come to the Wei family for dinner in the evening.
So Su Jixiang asked Lu Shui to go to the market at noon to see if there was any fresh goods to sell.
Lushui went to buy two newly caught fish, a black carp and a black carp.
The rivers outside Mangcheng were frozen this season, and the two fish were caught by fishermen who made holes in the ice. They were not available every day, and it was a matter of luck. It must be said that Xie Yingfeng and Qu Wanning were very lucky people.
"It is said that because of the Mo Xingwen incident, Mo Dashan boasted in the village." Qu Wanning said, "Now that it has become like this, the villagers will inevitably ridicule them. Mo Dashan is a person who cares about his reputation, so he has to swallow this anger. He might as well move away to avoid being laughed at when they meet in the future."
"Oh. I see." After Su Jixiang finished baking the pancake, he asked Guihua to come over and help change the pan.
She had made some sauerkraut soup before, and had already filleted the herring before Qu Wanning and the others came back. She used the bones and head to make soup, and she was going to make a sour soup fish fillet dish.
The sauerkraut soup that had been seasoned was boiling in the pot, and Su Jixiang sprinkled the paddled fish fillets into it one by one.
The herring was big, but the meat was tender. Su Jixiang had excellent knife skills and cut the fish fillets thinly and evenly. The fish fillets changed color instantly as the boiling soup bubbled up.
There is no need to stew it hard, a pot of sour soup fish fillets is ready.
Su Jixiang brought over a large porcelain basin, poured the whole pot of fish fillets into it, then sprinkled chopped green onions, minced garlic and chili peppers on top, and then poured boiling oil directly on the green onions, minced garlic and chili peppers. After a sizzling sound, the whole house was filled with fragrance!
