25. Spicy snails
CHAPTER XXV
Chen tried her best to shrink her sense of storage in the kitchen, and just now Mrs. Chi lost her temper again - she thought Zhou was going out to hide lazy.
Seeing that the Zhou family still didn't come in, Chi Pozi instructed the Yu family to go out and call the Zhou family. Yu is the most liked by Mrs. Chi among the three concubines, not only because she has a sweet mouth and can speak, but also because she is the daughter-in-law of her youngest son, and she gave birth to a fat boy as soon as she entered the door. was born earlier than the Zhou family.
Fortunately, the Zhou family later gave birth to a son, and this time it was even more unpleasant to see the Chen family, and later directly separated the family at the instigation of the Zhou family. She was tormented by Chi Pozi a lot in those years, and she became the same temperament as her daughter when she split up.
As soon as Zhou entered the door, he smiled at Chen, which gave Chen goosebumps. This sister-in-law looks arrogant on weekdays, and she doesn't look down on her, is she alive today?
Mrs. Chi let out a cold snort from her mouth, she knew this eldest daughter-in-law very well, and she couldn't afford to be early. It must be the second family that made her worry about it - I heard that the orange stall made a lot of money, and the cotton was bought for dozens of catties.
It's hateful that the second family only cares about themselves, and they don't know how to give them some cotton!
She will have to live with the old family in the future, no matter what attention she pays, just turn a blind eye. If the Zhou family could really get money from the second family, she wouldn't follow suit.
Although Mrs. Chi doesn't like Zhou, she likes money. She also pointed to Zhou to take some money out of Chen's hand, and simply didn't lose her temper with Chen. Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. She is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is afraid of her mother-in-law!
Old man Chi was talking to Chi Dazhu, he didn't like to talk on weekdays, and the two of them had nothing to say for a while. However, the pool beam was having fun on the side, and it seemed much more lively than usual.
Old man Chi looked at Chi Daliang differently, this was his first son, and he would rely on him in the future. Chi Dazhuan is the youngest son, and he is also loved. Chi Dazhu suffered the most, otherwise when he split up the family, he couldn't just separate his family.
He also felt guilty about his second son, and he planned to let Chi Dazhu pass on one son from one of the two brothers, but Chi Dazhu disagreed. He also stopped thinking about it, and his heart was even lighter towards Chi Dazhu.
After eating breakfast peacefully, Mrs. Chi didn't say anything about the box of pastries, and rarely praised Chen's ability to live.
Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps became much lighter. Orange was helping to clean up the snails in the yard, and her cousin fished out a lot of snails from the river, thinking of changing the taste for his daughter-in-law.
The snail can be stir-fried, spicy, sauce-fried, spiced, and made into snail porridge. The taste is delicious, not at all worse than yellow eel and the like.
The orange hand is itchy very much, and she is afraid that others will not do it well and spoil this bucket of snails. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when the snails are plump, and the other seasons always lose their taste.
Zhou covered his mouth and patted Orange's shoulder, "I'll make the decision for your cousin, you can do this snail, and let's add a dish at noon." She also thinks that other people's cooking is not delicious.
Orange didn't know why Zhou was suddenly so enthusiastic today, she had been serving her vegetables at breakfast just now, and she wondered if Zhou was crazy - in the memory of the original owner, Zhou had never given a good face. When she was living in the old courtyard, she scolded Sang and Huai all day long, saying that the orange was a girl and didn't need to work in the field, and the second room took advantage of Yunyun.
She couldn't figure out what was going on, thanked her, and went into the kitchen with the bucket. Because it's not my own kitchen, it's very uncomfortable to use. Hard dishes such as fish and chicken are made early and are now placed on the stove. Mrs. Chi came in and looked at it four or five times uneasily, she was afraid that the oranges would be eaten secretly.
Oranges cook with peace of mind and don't care. It's useless to care, she can't drive Chi Pozi out, not to mention that it is very taboo to quarrel during the festival, which is unlucky.
She put salt and peppercorns in the water and fried the snails over high heat. Although her cousin has been soaking in snails for a day, she always feels that it is still not clean, so it can be killed with high-temperature salt water.
When Mrs. Chi came in again, she was just in time for the orange to fry the chili peppers, choking her enough. After muttering a few words, she left, and Orange squinted at her and saw that she was choked with tears.
She doesn't have anything to do, otherwise she wouldn't be a good chef at all.
The aroma of chili peppers had already arrived, and she put the fried snails in it and boiled them over high heat, and when the soup was almost cooked, she didn't fill the firewood and let it dry slowly.
The sister-in-law in the lobby, who was originally lying, also got off the bed at this time, but she even ate breakfast on the bed. She chirped and went straight into the kitchen.
"Oranges, why are you so fragrant? I haven't had an appetite for a long time since I've been pregnant with this baby, but I'm drooling now. The sister-in-law was not hypocritical at all, she grabbed the snail and ate it directly, "Look at me, I'm stupid, I have to eat a skewer." ”
She called out to her cousin, who quickly brought her a wooden skewer. Orange didn't care about her, she felt that her sister-in-law was not simple, so after letting her mother-in-law be busy, she was lazy in the house.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Chi didn't say anything. She acquiesced to her sister-in-law hiding in the house and sleeping, and didn't care about her yelling at her man.
Zhou's teeth itch with hatred outside, she has treasured her son for most of her life, and she has to listen to her daughter-in-law's words, and her mother-in-law is secretly helping her daughter-in-law!
But she had to swallow this breath alive, and cursed in her heart that one or two would not be good to die!
The sister-in-law picked up the snail meat with a bamboo skewer, dipped it in garlic vinegar, sour, and a spicy and spicy bite trembled on the tip of the tongue, and the fresh fragrance followed.
"Yo, it's really an appetite for me." The cousin-in-law kept eating in her mouth, and after a while, she and her cousin ate half a plate.
Mrs. Chi was happy when she heard this, she was sour and spicy, and her granddaughter-in-law must be a male baby.
There was a commotion outside, and Orange listened to Chen's voice. She hurriedly ran out to look, only to see Zhou and Chen pinching their waists and scolding each other, and Chen did not have the previous caution, and he was completely spicy.
Yu watched coldly from the sidelines, and did not say anything to dissuade him. Orange felt that if conditions permitted, she would have to move a horse and knock melon seeds.
"I'm sorry, don't give you a shame, I dislike my nephew with two children, I haven't disliked your daughter for being withdrawn! What's more, it's not clear with the Zhao family, who knows if it's still a clean body! Zhou's face turned purple, but she didn't expect Chen to quarrel with her, which was not the same as usual.
Not only did Chen's face change when he said this, but Chi Dazhu even picked up the hoe on the wall and was about to beat someone. Chi Daliang would not let Chi Dazhu do it, although he also felt that what Zhou said was a bit excessive.
Mrs. Chi saw that her two sons also moved, and the second son was still holding a hoe in his hand. She was afraid that her eldest son would suffer, so she went directly to the ground and rolled on. The old man hid far away and smoked dry smoke, and his eyes were frosty.
Every year, there is a festival to make a scene, doesn't this make the whole village laugh......
Chi Pozi rolled a few times, and when she saw that no one came to pull her, she got up from the ground and scratched Chi Dazhu's face a few times.
When Chi Dazhu picked up the hoe, he had already calmed down in his heart, and he would not really hit the Zhou family. When Chi Daliang stopped him, he didn't make a move, and his mother scratched himself without saying a word, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Orange heard the meaning of Zhou's and Chen's words, and his heart was also annoyed. Outsiders talk nonsense, this aunt can't say anything about her innocence, if a bit of a fierce girl can't say it, she will hang herself in the lake.
Chen's face was also pale with anger, why was she so miserable as a girl! kept scolding Zhou, she had to get out of her heart, she had been holding back for more than ten years.
In the past, she relied on her sister-in-law to support her work, ridiculing her for not being able to give birth to a son, and driving them out of the house in the second room, they are living very well now. But she can't slander her daughter, this is her life!
