Chapter 10
Shen Zhuo took out a basket from behind him as if he was playing a trick, and he said: "The student's family sent a bundle of gifts, but I don't know how to kill the chicken, and my craftsmanship on the stove is average, so I don't have to spoil this good chicken, so I want to ask you to help stew the chicken." ”
Gu Sanniang smiled, it turned out that it was for this trivial matter, she took the basket from Shen Zhuo's hand, and saw that the fat hen with her feet tied was about four or five catties, she glanced at Shen Zhuo, and said: "What is this worth, you still need Shen Juren to be so solemn, even if you leave it to me." ”
Shen Zhuo can't cook rice is not false at all, to this day, Brother Yu still says from time to time that his father burned the food again, although Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi's mother and daughter live a poor life, but Gu Sanniang is very good at cleaning up the soup, ordinary cabbage and radish can also make tricks, provoking Brother Yu every few days, he will run to her house to eat, Shen Zhuo is very ashamed of this, but he really can't bear to wronged the child, so he has to owe this debt.
Thinking that he could eat chicken today, Brother Yu shook his little head, and he said in a milky voice: "Aunt Gu is the best to do, otherwise, Daddy will definitely burn again." ”
Gu Sanniang hesitated, it wasn't that she felt sorry for his family, this hen was so fat, if she took it to the market and sold it, she would be able to get dozens of dollars, which was enough for the food expenses of their grandfather for a few days, she asked, "Are you really going to kill it?" ”
Shen Zhuo touched Brother Yu'er's head, and he said to Gu Sanniang: "Kill!" ”
Shen Zhuo said so, Gu Sanniang didn't say much, she went back to the west chamber and took a kitchen knife and bowl, first plucked some of the fluff on the hen's neck, and then slashed it neatly, the hen crowed a few times, just about to pounce, Gu Sanniang had caught it firmly.
When killing chickens, the father and son of the Shen family and Xiao Yezi stood in the yard to watch, Shen Yu's two little fat hands covered his eyes with a look of wanting to see but not daring to look, Xiao Yezi was different, she grew up in the countryside, she saw more such a situation, seeing that her mother finished killing the chicken, Xiao Yezi trotted forward, holding a bowl to catch the chicken blood, and then the chicken blood was added to the garlic sprouts and fried, which was also a delicious dish.
After waiting for the chicken blood to be released, Gu Sanniang looked up and saw Shen Zhuo's face full of earth, and her two eyes were straight, and she was just about to ask out loud, when she saw Shen Zhuo fall to the ground with a thud.
Gu Sanniang was startled, she threw down the chicken in her hand, ran up in a panic and asked, "Shen Juren, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Daddy......" Brother Yu was so bluffed by this sudden that she cried, Gu Sanniang couldn't get any better, seeing a good person fall to the ground so straight, her heart was so anxious, so she shouted to Xiao Yezi: "Go and call Grandma Qin to come over, just say that your Uncle Shen fainted." ”
"Hey!" Xiao Yezi agreed, and ran to the main house like a whirlwind to call people.
In less than a moment, Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue ran out, and when they saw Shen Juren falling to the ground, they asked in surprise, "What happened, why did you faint so well." ”
Gu Sanniang broke out in a cold sweat on her back, and she hurriedly said, "How do I know, but as soon as I blinked, Shen Juren fell to the ground." ”
Aunt Qin glanced at it, she and Gu Sanniang helped Shen Zhuo up, and struggled hard among his people, after a while, Shen Zhuo woke up faintly, Gu Sanniang said happily: "Shen Juren, are you awake?" ”
Shen Zhuo saw that Brother Yu'er's face was full of tears, and he was still surrounded by several women, so he asked in a daze, "What are you doing around me?" ”
Aunt Qin patted her thigh, and she said, "Besides, you fainted, but you scared us to death." ”
Shen Zhuo thought about it for a while, his face turned red with shame, and he said, "It's not in the way, I'm fainting blood." ”
Gu Sanniang was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Since you are faint blood, why do you want to watch me kill chickens?" ”
Shen Zhuo became more and more embarrassed, he said: "I have never seen a chicken slaughtered before, so I came over to watch the excitement today, but as soon as I saw the bloodletting, I fell down in front of me." ”
Hearing him say this, Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue both laughed, Shen Zhuo didn't expect that he would make a fool of himself today, Gu Sanniang had just been bluffed, but she was in no mood to make fun of him, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can rest, when this hen is ready, I will send it to you." ”
Shen Zhuo saw that she had blood on her hands, and she looked like she was about to faint, Gu Sanniang quickly put down her hand, and asked Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er to help him back to the East Chamber.
Gu Sanniang looked at the back of the children sending Shen Zhuo back to the house, and couldn't help but shake her head, who would have thought that Shen Juren, who had always been polite and polite, would faint when he saw killing chickens, if he said it, he was afraid that he would be laughed at by the neighbors who lived in this alley for a year.
"Ouch, it's really funny, it's the first time I've seen someone who is afraid of killing chickens." Zhu Xiaoyue burst into tears and laughed, although this Shen Juren is a handsome scholar, but he doesn't talk much, most of the time he sits under the window of the East Wing and reads.
Aunt Qin smiled while wiping her tears: "Poor man, the first time I saw the chicken, I was bluffed, and I didn't even dare to eat the chicken in the future." ”
Gu Sanniang glanced at the East Chamber, she looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Don't laugh anymore, I didn't see Shen Juren just now and I couldn't raise my head in shame." ”
The more serious people look at on weekdays, the more they make a joke coldly, it's really enough to make people squirt.
The girls laughed for a while, seeing that it was not early, Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue went back to the house, and Gu Sanniang on the other side quickly boiled hot water, plucked the hen first, and then disemboweled and cleaned up the internal organs, but after a few strokes, they were cut into large pieces and stewed in a jar.
When the chicken is almost stewed, Gu Sanniang put the soaked hazelnut mushrooms into the chicken soup and stew them together, this hazel mushroom is the most juice-absorbing, it tastes like meat, and it is very nourishing.
Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er, who were originally playing in the east chamber, smelled the fragrance and ran over hand in hand, Gu Sanniang saw it, so she asked Xiao Yezi: "Is your Uncle Shen better?" ”
Xiao Yezi replied: "After resting for a while just now, my face looks much better. ”
When Gu Sanniang saw it, she put her mind at ease, she saw that Yu Ge'er's eyes were blinking the jar without blinking, so she filled him a bowl of chicken soup, brought it to the table again, and said, "Go drink it, it's scalded carefully." ”
Brother Yu has chicken soup to drink, but Xiao Yezi doesn't, seeing Xiao Yezi's stunned appearance, Gu Sanniang pretended not to see it, this pot of chicken soup even has meat and hair from the Shen family, she helped his family stew soup, it is not cheap at all.
"Aunt Gu, my sister hasn't yet." Brother Yu saw that there was only one bowl, so he blinked and said to Gu Sanniang.
Gu Sanniang said to him with a smile: "You go and eat yours, she will have something to eat later." ”
Brother Yu listened as if she understood or not, the little leaf envied Brother Yu for having fragrant chicken to eat, but she knew that it was not her own, so she hid in the back room, Brother Yu took two bites, and felt that it was boring to eat alone, so he trembled and held the bowl and went in to find Xiao Yezi to eat together.
The two children have not known each other for a long time, but they are very compatible, Xiao Yezi is older than Brother Yu'er, on weekdays, she always protects Brother Yu'er, Brother Yu leads her love, at this time she has a bowl of food, and she has to share it with her, Gu Sanniang watched the actions of the two children from afar, and then turned a blind eye, fortunately, her little leaf is also polite, and after drinking a mouthful of chicken soup, she refused to taste it again.
Unconsciously, the sky was slightly dark, and the chicken stewed in the stove had already been separated from the flesh and bones, usually at this hour, Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi had already finished their dinner, but they were afraid that they were doing embroidery work with the oil lamp, so Gu Sanniang saw that the chicken soup was stewed, so she called Xiao Yezi and sent her to the opposite side, watching the two children go out, Gu Sanniang returned to the kitchen, and the leftovers in the morning were hot, and she and Xiao Yezi were going to deal with it and it was over.
Who knew that the meal had just been heated, Shen Zhuo came over, followed by Xiao Yezi, Gu Sanniang was a little surprised, she thought it was stewed chicken soup that tasted bad, so she asked, "But the saltiness doesn't fit?" ”
That Shen Zhuo hadn't actually tasted her stewed chicken soup, he saw that Xiao Yezi even brought the whole pot together, so he knew that Gu Sanniang was too sincere, so Shen Zhuo first sent a bowl to Aunt Qin's house, and kept some at home, so he asked Xiao Yezi to take the rest back, who knew that Xiao Yezi was afraid of being blamed by her mother, so she refused to accept it, so Shen Zhuo had no choice but to send it over in person.
"You don't need to say that you're a good cook." Shen Zhuo smiled, and he said: "It's rare to have a meal of meat to eat, how can I have it alone with my family, and everyone can taste the meat together." ”
They are all small people in the market, and no one has the spare money to fish and meat constantly, especially Gu Sanniang's mother and daughter, I don't know what day it was when they last touched meat, but Gu Sanniang is going to be strong, she refuses to accept Shen Zhuo's kindness, and said in her mouth: "There are not a few pieces of meat for a chicken, Brother Yu'er is still young, you take it back to make up for him." ”
How could Shen Zhuo bring it back again, he said, "How much can a little brother Yu eat as a villain?" Living in the same courtyard, if you are so polite, I will be embarrassed to come to you for help next time. ”
For a bowl of chicken to push around, Gu Sanniang's ears were a little hot, she said: "I'm doing you a favor, and it's not to share your chicken, if Brother Yu'er can't finish it, keep it for him to cook noodles tomorrow." ”
"Don't excuse yourself anymore, Brother Yu'er is still in the house alone, I'll go back first." After that, Shen Zhuo wanted to go back.
Gu Sanniang saw that he was already out of the door, and chased after him in three or two steps, she opened her mouth, and was about to shout to stop him, but stopped her mouth again, until she looked at Shen Zhuo and entered the east chamber, Gu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and went back to the house.
