Chapter 408: The old turtle soup is still unfinished

Tian Qian entered the door and disturbed the charm of Xiao Yao and He Bixiang, she casually teased, and was about to go out, but He Bixiang deliberately said:

"It's not that I don't know about your little caution, and you don't want to drive me away, right?"

Tian Qian and He Bixiang were both people who had been helped by Xiao Yao in the factory, and Tian Qian often helped He Bixiang do this and that when He Bixiang's hand injury did not heal, the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

What annoyed Tian Qian now is that after dating He Bixiang for a while, she told He Bixiang about her careful thoughts, and she only knew that He Bixiang was Xiao Yao's sister, but she didn't expect her to have such an intimate relationship with Xiao Yao.

"Let's go, I'll go grocery shopping with you two, go and come back quickly. ”

Xiao Yao didn't want the two of them to keep talking about themselves, so after he eased up, he wrote a small note casually and urged He Bixiang and the two to go out. He put a small note on the door and asked Bazi to come and wait for him.

In the morning, the free market is very lively, in the urban-rural junction of each city, it is called the suburbs, and the residents are vegetable farmers, who gather here from the surrounding areas to sell the winter vegetables and domestic animals grown on their own plots.

Other dishes can be purchased at will, only pork, which is exclusively operated by the meat factory, Xiao Yao They don't have meat tickets in their hands, so they can only sigh at the meat.

The three of them bought some vegetables, chickens and ducks, and when they passed by a stall selling fish, Xiao Yao saw a five or six-year-old child, squatting next to a man, playing with an old turtle (soft-shelled turtle) in a porcelain pot.

At that time, there was no one to eat the old turtle, and it was not possible to go to the main table, but Xiao Yao had eaten it once, and knew that this thing stewed soup was delicious, so he was ready to buy it and go back to make soup.

And just when Xiao Yao bent down and was about to ask the man for a price, the old turtle who was irritated by the child's play opened his mouth and bit the child's finger, and the child was frightened, and was bitten again, crying in pain.

The man who sold the fish was so anxious that he grabbed the old turtle and pulled it, trying to bite it by the child's hand and break free. However, when the turtle bites anything, it will not let go easily, even if it chops off its head, it will bite it tightly.

The child screamed "wow" in pain, and many people came around with concern to give advice. The man who was anxious to protect his son didn't pull it open after pulling it twice, and he didn't dare to pull it again. Although everyone said a lot, they were still helpless, so they had to wait, wanting to wait for the old turtle's conscience to find out and automatically let go.

He Bixiang turned around to watch, she saw a straw spread on the ground, quickly walked over and folded the tip of the grass, and came back to stir in the nostrils of the old turtle, the old turtle couldn't hold on, so he had to open his mouth and let go of the child's fingers.

Xiao Yao saw that this trick worked wonderfully, and hurriedly asked her where she knew this method, He Bixiang smiled and said:

"When I was a child, I was also bitten by an old turtle, and my grandfather used this method to free it, saying that the old turtle was itched by the straw poking its nostrils, and it would loosen its mouth. ”

Xiao Yao didn't believe it, this old turtle was still afraid of itching? But whether this old turtle was afraid of itching, human beings don't know, only the old turtle himself knows.

"Boss, sell me this old turtle. ”

"You want to eat the old turtle? What is the head of this thing? Go, go, we don't want it. ”

He Bixiang heard that Xiao Yao was going to buy old turtles to eat, she was a little incredible, she looked at him like a fool, and pulled him away.

"Girl, you have done my child a favor just now, and your brother will give it to you if he wants to eat. This old turtle came from the net when I was fishing, if it didn't weigh two or three catties, I would like to throw it away, and bring it over is also Daitian without a plow, you can take it. ”

"Thank you, boss, you give it to us, we don't want it, who eats the turtle? Don't, don't, you can buy a fish for us cheaper." ”

He Bixiang didn't care about the boss's kindness, and bent down to point to a carp. The boss and the carp were picked up happily, but there were no scales, so he directly put the turtle and carp into a net pocket and let it for a dollar.

"Boss, we really don't want this old turtle, no one will kill it when we go home. ”

Xiao Yao was not polite, reached out and took the net pocket, took out the two-yuan bill and handed it to the boss.

"Don't look for it, buy a few candies for my little brother to eat. ”

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he picked up all the belongings and left. He Bixiang and Tian Qian hurriedly followed, ignoring the sound of the fish seller and shouting for money.

"Little brother, how are you going to eat this time? We don't dare to kill it. ”

"Hey, hey, sister, you don't know, this old turtle is used for soup, but it's fresh, and the meat is tender and refreshing, I'll make this dish, you don't care." ”

Xiao Yao was about to drool when he said it, but He Bixiang was still a little skeptical.

"Little brother, have you learned to cook during this time? It turns out that you only know how to eat, but you don't know how to cook. ”

"Boss Xiao, you can do what you say, and I'll help you do it. ”

"I told you, you can just call me Xiao Yao, don't call me boss in the future, it sounds awkward, hahaha. ”

Tian Qian said that Xiao Yao was very happy, he had seen his father make turtle soup himself, but he really hadn't done it himself, how much salt and ingredients he put in it, he was really not sure.

As soon as the three of them got home, they found that the note on the door had not moved, so Xiao Yao took it down and threw it away, and everyone got busy. He Bixiang and Tian Qian wanted to kill chickens and ducks to remove their feathers, so Xiao Yao came to boil water to scald the turtles, and by the way, the chickens and ducks were scalded for a while.

Xiao Yao knew that the old turtle did not need to be killed. He put the boiling water into an aluminum pot, cruelly threw the living turtle into the boiling water, covered the pot and held it down with his hands. The old turtle tossed and rolled in the pot, struggling for a long time before it stopped moving.

"Tian Qian, the old turtle is scalded to death, you disembowel, remove the internal organs, wash it and chop it into pieces. First, stir-fry with cooking wine, vinegar, ginger and garlic to remove the fishiness, and then, just like stewing chicken soup. ”

"Okay, you can just put it there, I'll come after taking off the chicken feathers. ”

As soon as Xiao Yao said it, Tian Qian knew what to do, she was doing the work in her hands, and happily agreed.

"Tell us to leave it alone, what you said is the same as the truth, I thought you had learned to cook, it turned out that you were still the shopkeeper. ”

He Bixiang was taking off duck feathers in her hands, she wanted to try Xiao Yao's craftsmanship, but now it seems that it is obviously not good, although she is angry, she can't do anything about him.

Xiao Yao scalded the old turtle to death and didn't do anything, just watched He Bixiang and Tian Qian wash vegetables and kill fish, and he was talking nonsense on the side. Seeing that their little hands were red from the cold, sometimes they would use their own hands to cover them for them.

Before you know it, all the meat dishes are ready to be cooked, and the vegetables are taken care of. Just wait for Fan Fangfei, Zhou Min and others to come back from playing, stir-fry the vegetables, heat them up and eat them.

Just when Xiao Yao was waiting impatiently, Bazi finally came over, and when he saw that there were still two people in the house, he didn't come in, standing at the door and waving at Xiao Yao.

"How's it going?"

"Brother Xiao, ask about the people on the line, how can it be so fast, I'm here to tell you, you have got what you want, you go with me to take a look, and if it's suitable, you can get it back." ”

Bazi has a bitter face, he was caught by Xiao Yao this time, and he thought he was unlucky.

Xiao Yao was immediately interested when he heard this, and hurriedly said to He Bixiang and Tian Qian, and followed Bazi.

Not long after Xiao Yao left, the people who went out to play came back, Zhou Min heard that Xiao Yao was called away by Bazilai, and she was excited, she thought that the stolen money was hopeful.

"Before Xiao Yao left, let us eat first, don't wait for him, but today, he asked us to make old turtle soup, and he left again. ”

"Old turtle soup, how can Brother Xiao Yao eat this thing that no one eats?"

Fan Fangfei saw that everyone was discussing and didn't mention the matter of eating, so she hurriedly said:

"If he wants to eat the soup, he will leave it to him, and we will eat first, and by now everyone is cold and hungry. ”

"Sister Fangfei, let's wait, wait for Brother Xiao to come back and eat together. ”

Although Jing'er herself was hungry, she remembered Xiao Yao in her heart.

"We don't wait, wait for the food to be cold again, we will leave some for him when we see the dishes, and come back to be hot. ”

"Then I'll finish drinking the turtle soup first, eat some cushions, it's hot and not cold, I'll wait for Brother Xiao to come back and eat together." ”

Jing'er had never eaten turtle soup, and when she heard that Xiao Yao wanted to eat it, she also wanted to try it first. All the girls looked at Jing'er with a little doubt, and they couldn't imagine that the little Jing'er would dare to eat the old turtle. Tian Qian hurriedly ran over, brought her a small bowl of hot soup and meat.

Jing'er was not polite, her delicate little mouth was afraid of hot blowing, so she gently took a sip tentatively.

"Jing'er, is it delicious?"

"It smells good, but it feels a little disgusting. ”

Jing'er saw that they were discussing, and their feelings were using her as an experiment.

"It doesn't taste good. ”

Jing'er said a word, picked up the chopsticks again, and stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, the delicate and smooth tender meat, Jing'er was secretly happy to eat, this soup is not only very fresh, but the meat is also so delicious, no wonder Brother Xiao Yao likes to eat.

Originally, when they heard Jing'er say that it was not delicious, everyone gave up the desire to try it, but Jing'er said that it was not delicious here, but she didn't put it down there, and directly ate a bowl of hot soup and meat, and licked her lips unsatisfied.

Jing'er ate vigorously, and she didn't need help from others, she took the bowl herself and went to the pot to serve the soup. Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, wherever this sentence is used, it is the truth.

"Jing'er, do you dare to lie to us?

Xiaoya was so angry, so many people were tricked by a child, she and Xiaoya went to get the bowl at the same time, and wanted to serve the soup to drink. Although the two of them joined, Fan Fangfei, Zhou Min and others were still waiting.

Until Xiaoya and Xiaoai also finished eating a bowl, they couldn't help it anymore, and they all had to get a bowl to eat the turtle soup.

"Wait, leave a bowl for Xiao Yao first, and we will divide the rest. ”

Tian Qian was afraid that the old turtle soup she had carefully made for Xiao Yao would be snatched up by them. She hurriedly brought a big bowl and left a full bowl for Xiao Yao, so that they could divide the rest.

This time, except for Jing'er, everyone else has a share, anyway, it is enough, and no one cares about Xiaoya and Xiaoai having already eaten a bowl.

Just when everyone loved to eat old turtle soup and was in full swing, Xiao Yao rode a bicycle back to the door.
