I heard that I would go to Han Xingjian's house tomorrow, Xue Ru and Jing Hao quietly discussed with Xue Jiao, and went after selling embroidery in the town.

Xue Jiao thought that the two sisters sold embroidery, but her own embroidery was not good, in addition to making zuò seasoning, she had to find a way to make money.

One of the hens in the coop was about to lay eggs, and she clucked from the fence and flew into the straw pile. When Mrs. Chen heard the rooster crow, she walked out of the main house with her little feet, and sat in front of the chicken pen with a small pestle and a knife.

Xue Jiao suddenly thought of an idea, there are no salted duck eggs and no tea eggs here, so why not make some tea eggs and sell them.

Xue Jiao told Li this idea, and Li looked at Mrs. Chen, who was sitting in front of the chicken coop like a big Buddha, and whispered: "I don't stop you from making that tea egg, but this egg is not easy to get, it is something that your milk is staring at." ”

Xue Jiao glanced at Mrs. Chen, she didn't dare to use the eggs at home, she was not afraid of herself, what she was afraid of was that Mrs. Chen would scold the Li family.

Jing Hao heard that Xue Jiao was going to make tea eggs, so she quietly told Xue Jiao that she could go to Master Qin to borrow a few eggs first.

“…… Let's just say that I will get a new recipe for Master Qin, and I think Sister-in-law Jia will agree. ”

Xue Jiao couldn't help but smile when she heard this, Master Qin recently went to Yingchuan again, Jing Hao and she haven't gone to the confused house these days, and it doesn't hurt to borrow a few eggs if you want to.

Thinking like this, Xue Jiao and Jing Hao went to Confused House together, and Sister-in-law Jia heard that she was going to develop a new dish for Master Qin, so she gave Xue Jiao a basket of eggs and good Longjing tea, and asked Xue Jiao if she had made the osmanthus candy last time. Jing Hao took the opportunity to give Sister-in-law Jia a pair of insoles embroidered by herself, and Sister-in-law Jia seemed to be happy.

Back home, Xue Jiao led Xue Ru, Jing Hao, and Qi Ping to start their work, and Li saw Xue Jiao's appearance and helped clean the eggs.

"Just now my sister-in-law asked me about osmanthus candy, mother, is the osmanthus dried now, I plan to make osmanthus candy." Xue Jiao asked while washing eggs.

"it, I'll put it away for you at noon, you like to work on something new right now." Li said with a smile.

As soon as he heard that he was going to make zuò osmanthus candy, Qi Ping had already begun to swallow his saliva.

"Let's come back from town tomorrow and buy a pound of candy to make osmanthus candy to eat." Xue Jiao pinched Qi Ping's face and said with a smile.

After washing the eggs, Li began to boil the pot, Xue Ru gently beat the eggs with a spoon according to Xue Jiao's words, and when the egg shell appeared a small crack, put the eggs into the pot.

"Will the yolk come out?" Xue Ru asked.

"No, it makes it easier for the eggs to taste when they are boiled, and it doesn't take too long to cook."

Xue Jiao said, mixing salt and tea leaves and pouring them into the pot, and adding soy sauce, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns.

After boiling for two quarters of an hour, Xue Jiao asked Li to stop the fire and let the eggs continue to simmer in the pot to absorb the flavor.

A burst of fragrance wafted out, and Qi Ping couldn't help but lift the lid of the pot to take a look, but was held down by Li's hand.

Xue Jiao was very much looking forward to the moment when the tea eggs were cooked, and she didn't expect that the food she ate daily in her previous life would be so expensive in ancient times.

The fragrance wafted into the yard, and Mrs. Chen thought that Li was cooking dinner, so she sat at the door of the chicken circle and shouted: "Eldest daughter-in-law, what kind of dishes are so fragrant, the oil doesn't need money, put less oil, such an adult will not live a little life, according to your oil like this, the gold and silver mountains in the family will be hollowed out." ”

Li Shi answered in the pot house, unconsciously afraid that if Mrs. Chen knew that she was making tea eggs with Xuejiao, she didn't know what kind of turmoil would arise. Fortunately, it was time to make dinner, and Mrs. Chen thought that she would take the children to make dinner, so she quietly hid the eggs in the closet after a while, and brought them into her room while she was washing the dishes at night. Thinking like this, Li stretched his brow slightly.

Xue Jiao saw Li's expression and said lightly: "Mother, don't be afraid, these eggs were taken by Master Qin." ”

"Cluck, cluck......" An old hen with a reed flower in the coop flapped her wings and jumped on the fence, leaving a pink egg in the coop.

"Second egg, hurry, the chicken has laid eggs, hurry up and pick it up." Mrs. Chen called out to her grandson.

Erdan jumped into the chicken coop slowly, picked up the egg and handed it to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen touched the egg that was still hot, stretched her neck into the chicken pen, stretched for a long time and suddenly said: "Where is my red-haired rooster, it has been in the chicken pen, I still heard the crowing this morning, why is it missing now." ”

Old Mrs. Chen stood up, her eyes widened, counting one chicken by another, a total of thirty-four chickens, since Xue Yao and Qi Lin came to the house to kill five, there are still twenty-nine left. Mrs. Chen counted eight times and there were still only twenty-eight, just missing the red-haired rooster.

The first thing Mrs. Chen thought of was the fourth daughter-in-law, Zhang, this daughter-in-law has always been lazy and lazy, and she had secretly touched eggs before, if she hadn't stared, the chickens in the chicken nest would have been all chicken feathers.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, you come out." Mrs. Chen raised her voice, "Erdan, call your mother out, where did your mother go." ”

"This lazy woman stole my chicken." Mrs. Chen's voice was louder for a while.

Li was fishing for the tea eggs in the pot house when he heard Mrs. Chen's voice, and the movements in his hands slowed down.

Xue Jiao was curious and looked out through the door of the pot house.

Mrs. Chen stood in front of the chicken pen, crossed her waist, and pointed to the south wing and scolded.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, you lazy woman, did you steal my crowing red-haired?"

Zhang heard Mrs. Chen's scolding, lifted the curtain of the east wing and walked out.

"Mother, who did you say stole it, who stole your chicken, I was in the house all day today, except for pouring a cup of tea for Uncle Dingfu of Xueyao, who saw me stealing chickens." Zhang said confidently.

When Zhao heard Zhang's say "Xueyao's Uncle Dingfu", he secretly hated Zhang's mouth for not keeping the door.

"These chickens are all fed by me and my sister-in-law, not to mention the chicken, I didn't catch any of the eggs." Zhang sneered.

"You didn't catch it, you didn't catch last month's eggs that you didn't steal, every time you kill chickens, it's not the happiest thing you eat, and how much food you secretly eat at home. The steamed porridge in the pot house can be eaten by hiding in a rat hole. Except for you, who in this family can steal chickens to eat. Mrs. Chen pointed to Zhang's old accounts.

Xue Jiao saw Zhang's angry stamping of her feet, and when she glanced at it, she saw that Zhao's, Xue Miao, and Xue Yao were also looking out through the screen window.

"If I steal eggs, can I call stealing everything from the family? The second sister-in-law's family can eat as much as they want, why can't they come to me. Zhang was embarrassed by Mrs. Chen's public revelation of stealing eggs.

"Raised by a little prostitute." When Zhao heard Zhang mention himself, he scolded in a low voice through the screen window.

"You're still stubborn, you're waiting to be reincarnated." Mrs. Chen was panting angrily by Zhang's family, took off her shoes and chased after Zhang's beating, "I told you to steal, I told you to steal." ”

"Whoever stole it, who stole it, and whoever stole it and ate it was not raised by the mother." Zhang avoided Mrs. Chen and said loudly: "Qi Lin and Xue Yao go home for a few days, one chicken a day, you don't look for them to go, you have found me, I dare to bet on the sky that I didn't steal." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard Zhang's words, she stopped chasing and said, "Who else can there be besides you?" ”

"People have been fighting a lot recently, and they are going to the restaurant and buying flowers to wear." Zhang pursed his lips aggrievedly, and his eyes aimed at the north wing.

Mrs. Chen was reminded by Zhang Shiyi and put on her shoes. These days, the children of the old family went to the restaurants in the town, and bought rouge, and Xuejiao tinkered with new gadgets for the old pedant to eat every day. Maybe the chicken was stolen by her, and she's bold now.

“…… I saw that Qi Ping got up early to eat chicken, said fragrantly, and took the chicken leg and stuffed it into the aunt's mouth. Erdan walked out of the south wing, stood behind Zhang's and said.

Although Mrs. Chen didn't like the Li family, she didn't expect her to steal chickens, and since Xue Jiao hit the wall with her parents, the Li family didn't have a good relationship with her. Mrs. Chen has been trying to find a way to slam Li's face from the head, and now she can grab the handle. If she doesn't treat her hard for a while, she thinks this family is Xue Jiao.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you come out for me." Mrs. Chen shouted at the pot house.

When Li heard Mrs. Chen's shout, his heart was already in a ball.

“…… I didn't steal chickens. Li Shi said to Xue Jiao anxiously.

"Mother, you're not afraid of anything." Xue Jiao said and walked out, and said to Mrs. Chen, "Milk, my mother didn't steal chickens." ”

"Eldest daughter-in-law, are you dead or what's wrong? I told you not to come out, let a child come out and take the black pot for you, since you stole the chicken, you are not afraid that I will find out. Old Mrs. Chen glanced at Xue Jiao with drooping eyelids.

"Mother, I know Qi Anniang's character, she didn't steal chickens." Chen Xiucai heard Mrs. Chen say that her daughter-in-law stole chickens and walked out.

"You white-eyed wolf, you can't feed the dogs with all the books you read, your daughter-in-law stole my chicken, and you still put the tank for her." Mrs. Chen slapped and scolded.

Xue Jiao looked at Chen Xiucai, who was in his forties, and he was still a big Xiucai who didn't need to kneel when he saw the county officials, so he was so faceless in public by Mrs. Chen.

Li heard that his daughter and Chen Xiucai were scolded and walked out.

"Mother, I didn't steal the chicken, the red-haired rooster I fed the chicken in the morning is still there." Lee endured the embarrassment to explain.

"You didn't steal? You didn't steal that good chicken and ran away, you usually feed the chickens and know the habits of the chickens, and you must have caught the chickens when they fell into the nest. You didn't steal, the chicken in the morning was in the mouth. Mrs. Chen pointed at Li and scolded.

Li has always been honest, and when he heard Mrs. Chen's scolding regardless of Qiē, he felt ashamed and angry, and thought that he had been hanged to make a chrysanthemum pillow, and he couldn't help crying.

"You cry, you still have your face to cry, you stole my chicken and you still have your face to cry. You see that I cut your pillow, and you can't get angry, so you take my out of your anger. Mrs. Chen clapped her hands and scolded, and Grandma Xianglian next door looked in at the door with trembling little feet.

Xue squeamish's chest hurts, I haven't seen such an unreasonable old lady in the blue sky, the chicken in the morning was brought back by Han Xingjian yesterday for Qi An, in order to thank Xue Ru for making a chrysanthemum pillow for his grandmother.

Li was scolded by Mrs. Chen, and couldn't help but confess.

"Mother, I have been married to the Chen family for so many years, I don't work hard one day, I rush to do the work at home. Every time I kill a chicken, I can't even take a sip of chicken soup, and I will be filial to you first if I have anything delicious. Lee's tears fell in strings.

"I'll say a few words to you, and that's it. I know that I am not your mother-in-law, and you are holding your breath in your heart. Whether you lack food or drink at home, you are so greedy and steal chickens to eat. Mrs. Chen whispered one by one.

Li was scolded by Mrs. Chen and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. She is also a talented lady when she goes out, but she was slandered as a thief, where will her face be put in the future.

"Milk, this morning's roast chicken was brought by Han Xingjian yesterday." Qi An just stepped into the courtyard door and heard the shouting of the family, and heard that the Li family had been wronged at the door, and walked in to defend himself.

"You colluded to coax me." Mrs. Chen's voice was louder for a while, "Your family dares to talk back to me now, since Xuejiao hit the wall, you have taken care of it, one by one is not particular, I don't admit it if I steal the chicken." ”

“…… Dare to steal chickens today, dare to steal people tomorrow. Mrs. Chen jumped to her feet and scolded.

When Li heard the word "stealing people", her face was ashamed and there was no place to put it, and if she didn't want to see anyone if she spread it, even her child's reputation would be affected, so she rushed into the kitchen to get a knife and was about to die.

Grandma Xianglian rushed in and snatched the knife away with Xue Rujinghao.

"Isn't it just a chicken? Why are you scolding so ugly, the eldest daughter-in-law is going to die. "Old man Chen just came from the field, and saw that the door of the house was full of people, and after listening to it, he understood the ins and outs of the matter, although he usually connived at Mrs. Chen, but now he can't listen to the eldest daughter-in-law for stealing people.

"Okay, if you lose it, you will lose it, and maybe it will fly back by itself one day." Old Man Chen closed the door and blocked the people watching the excitement outside.

"As far as you are generous, how much effort does it take to feed a big chicken, and now it has entered people's stomachs, and you still expect the chicken to come back to life on its own." Old Mrs. Chen sneered when she heard that Old Man Chen was defending the Li family.

The family heard Old Man Chen's voice and came out. Cai rushed to the pot house and persuaded Li to the north wing with Grandma Xianglian. Chen Zichang's family hid in the main house and did not come out, and Zhao took Xue Yao to stand under the window and look out. The fourth Chen Zigui hid in the house, looking outside from time to time, full of worries.

"Milk, seeing is believing and hearing is false, when did you see my mother stealing chickens. You don't believe it, the roast chicken in the morning was given by Brother Xingjian. Milk, you just bite my mother and don't let go, so many of our family may not be eaten by anyone. Xue squeamishly defended the Li family.

"The chickens are usually fed by the eldest aunt, and she will not be seen when she steals. My brother and my sister have been at home these days, and the milk has been killing chickens every day, and my aunt must have been jealous to steal the chickens. Xue Miao walked out of the North House, her eyes aimed at the North House and said.

"Why did Sister Miao talk like that, you said that my mother stole it, where did you get the evidence." Xue Jiao laughed angrily, "According to me, this chicken was eaten by Sister Xue Miao, you see Sister Xue Yao and Brother Qi Lin have been killing chickens and eating them every day for the past few days, and you are jealous." As the saying goes, if a thief shouts to catch a thief, you must have stolen it. ”

Xue Jiao thinks that you Xue Miao has no evidence to play a scoundrel, and I am also sure that you stole it.
