Chapter 25: Xiao Lu's hand

Wide sunyard.

A group of seven or eight-year-old children clapped their hands and made a fuss.

The adult Tan Dalang is particularly conspicuous and eye-catching.

He stood in the middle of the drying field with his back to Qiduo, his pants falling on his heels.

He was crying bare-chested.

The corners of Qiduo's eyes couldn't help twitching twice.

Although Da Lang is her stupid cousin, he is twenty years old.

She was really embarrassed to help him put on his pants.

She turned her face away.

Shen Nan's face also sank, and he shouted angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

The children in the drying field looked over this way.

Seeing that it was Shen Nan, the sound of frolicking suddenly disappeared, and the children scattered as birds and beasts.

"You take it, I'll help him." Shen Nan handed the things in his hand to Qiduo and quickly ran to the drying field.

After a moment, Shen Nan walked over.

Seven flowers turned back.

Da Lang's clothes are neatly dressed, his face is like a flower-faced cat with snot and tears, and he is still crying and sobbing.

Tan Dalang was originally a normal child, but when he was eleven years old, he fell from the osmanthus tree in the Tan family's compound and broke his head.

Now his IQ is not even as good as that of a four- or five-year-old child.

I rarely go out on weekdays.

Shichiro was also there, and Qiduo really didn't pay attention.

"Shichiro, who bullied the eldest brother?" Qiduo asked.

Tan Deyin is annoying, but Da Lang is innocent.

Da Lang's appearance is unobnoying.

And Da Lang was bullied, as a member of the Tan family, his face was not good-looking.

"Seventh sister, it's the second tiger dog who has big eggs, they pee more than the eldest brother, the eldest brother wins, they take off the eldest brother's pants." Shichiro said in a milky voice.

Seven flowers secretly stroked their foreheads.

She was too embarrassed to imagine Dalang competing with a group of little dolls.

The two tiger dogs have big eggs left, and they are all children of villagers in Zhuangshang, who seem to be seven years old.

Shen Nan pursed his lips and skimmed his face to the side, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Seventh sister, it's the second tiger......" Da Lang snorted and repeated Qilang's words.

The corners of Qiduo's eyes twitched, explaining, "Big brother, I am your seventh sister, not your seventh sister." ”

"Hehe, Seventh Sister, I'm so powerful, if you don't believe me, I can pee to show you now." Da Lang had stopped crying and smirked at Qiduo.

still calls Qiduo the seventh sister, and gestures to untie his pants while talking.

Qiduo's face darkened even more, and he hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, "Big brother, I believe you, Qilang, you go home with big brother quickly." ”

"No return." Da Lang pouted.

and frustrated that Qiduo didn't let him pee once.

Shen Nan twisted his eyebrows and said to Qiduo, "Qiduo, I'll send them back, and by the way, tell my aunt, you are at my house." ”

Qiduo nodded in response, watching Shen Nan and them leave, and he turned to the Shen family.

When Zheng Wanru saw Qiduo, she hurriedly put down the needle money work in her hand and stepped forward to hug her.

"Qiduo, where did you go? If you have suffered any grievances again, tell me quickly. Zheng Wanru asked a little eagerly.

"Auntie, I haven't been wronged, I just want to come and see you." Seven grinned.

Seeing her smiling brightly, Zheng Wanru was relieved, "It's okay if there's nothing wrong, I can see your brother Nan, he went to look for you." ”

"See." Qiduo briefly talked about Da Lang.

"Alas, a poor child." Zheng Wanru sighed lightly, and then saw what Qiduo was holding in his hand, "Qiduo, what are those?" ”

"Auntie, this is a river clam and a malan head, can you borrow it for your kitchen?" Qiduo directly said what he meant.

As for whether others eat river clams, she doesn't know.

But in my impression, the Tan family has never eaten it.

However, I heard Shen Huairen mention that he had eaten all kinds of seafood in the capital and coastal cities.

"Silly boy, of course, didn't my aunt tell you before, it's like her own home here.

How? Our Seven Flowers want to be a chef? The smile on Zheng Wanru's face was more cordial, and her tone was very doting.

She didn't even ask if she could eat river clams.

Qiduo looked at Zheng Wanru and was very emotional.

If the rest of the Tan family could be half as kind as Aunt Zheng, life would be much more comfortable.

"Auntie, don't laugh at me, just don't blame me for dirty oil and salt later." Seven smiling flowers.

Sister-in-law Li, the servant woman, smiled and looked at the things in Qiduo's hand.

Of course she knew river clams.

"Seventh girl, this is a river clam, I've made it before, but it's not very delicious, it's too fishy, and there is sand." Sister-in-law Li said.

Not dealt with well, of course there is sand and fishy smell.

Qiduo thought secretly.

"Wash more, and the sand may be gone." Qiduo said with a smile.

"Qiduo, it's okay, you can do what you want, what you need, just tell Sister-in-law Li.

Also, you must stay with me for dinner today and then go back.

Sister-in-law Li, you go and prepare a few dishes. Zheng Wanru commanded with a smile.

Qiduo didn't shirk this time, and nodded with a smile.

Zheng Wanru asked Sister-in-law Li to go in to help, and she went to continue doing needlework, which was one of Shen Nan's middle clothes.

Shen Nan is fast, last year's clothes were short, so he had to make them quickly.

She made the clothes of her three sons herself, and never bought them or faked them to others.

She believes that mothers make clothes that children can wear to keep them warm and comfortable.

Of course, after marrying a daughter-in-law, it will not be your turn to do these tasks.

Thinking of marrying a daughter-in-law, the corners of Zheng Wanru's lips curled.

Nan'er is still young, Bin'er and Lin'er are both focusing on their studies at the moment, and they don't think about family affairs for the time being, and they don't know when they will be able to become mothers-in-law.

Thinking of her three sensible and knowledgeable sons, her eyes were full of smiles.

Very satisfying.

In the kitchen, Qiduo is busy with her sleeves rolled up.

She prepares to make steamed river clams with garlic.

If you want to make fried river clams, you have to let the river clams spit out the sand in their bodies, which takes nearly ten hours.

Steaming river clams does not need to, cut the river clams, remove the sandbags and skirts inside, and rinse the sand in the clam meat with water.

Sister-in-law Li helped soak the vermicelli and chop the garlic and green onions.

Although river clams are not as beautiful as seafood shellfish, after being dissected, the inside is as white as jade, crystal clear.

Seven clams are cleaned of the shell and flesh and arranged in a circle on a plate.

Cut the soaked vermicelli short and place them on top of the clam in the shape of a bird's nest.

Pour oil into the pot, add the garlic seeds to the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add a little salt to taste and mix well.

Pour garlic oil over the vermicelli.

There were no red peppers this season, so she had to replace them with some dried peppers, and each clams were dotted with a few chopped peppers.

With all this done, the water in the steamer is also boiling, and the dishes are placed in the steamer.

When the river clams are ripe, the seven flowers clean the malan head, and then blanch it and mix it cold.

The Shen family is better than the Tan family, and there are many richer varieties of seasoning, not only fragrant sesame oil, but also chili oil.

Zheng Wanru loves spicy food, no spicy or happy, and Qiduo is mixed with chili oil.

When the clams are out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and pour in the soup made with soy sauce and spring water.

The garlic river clams with full color and flavor are ready.

Sister-in-law Li followed Zheng Wanru's instructions and made braised pork, salted fish cooked with chili, plum cabbage button meat, fried winter melon with ham, and three vegetables.

With the addition of two dishes from Qiduo, nine dishes were set on the table.

Because Shen's father and they were not at home, and the dishes were rich, Zheng Wanru asked Sister-in-law Li to sit down and eat together.

Shen Nan came out of the study, cleaned his hands and went straight to the hall, his face beaming with joy.

Looking at the aroma of garlic river clams in the white jade porcelain plate, his black eyes lit up, and he asked Qiduo, "Qiduo, how can you make this dish?" ”

"Aunt, Brother Nan, I heard my uncle say that garlic steamed scallops before. I happened to see that the appearance of the river clam was very similar to the shellfish that my uncle said, so I wanted to try it.

It's just that I'm very apprehensive about how this tastes, after all, I haven't seen or eaten it.

Auntie, Brother Nan, can you appreciate your face and taste it? Qiduo said with a smile.

The words were asked by Shen Nan, but he said to him and Zheng Wanru.

and deliberately brought some of the little daughter's coquettishness.

Shen Huairen has been an official abroad for decades and has seen a lot of things.

In order to make his sons not as shallow as the frogs at the bottom of the well, he often told his wife and children about this outside knowledge while worrying at home.

There are all kinds of food and drink.

And Qiduo is sometimes an observer.

Garlic scallops are what Shen Huairen described, from the appearance to the side dishes inside, as well as the taste, it is very detailed.

Shen Huairen seems to be a foodie too!

This is a sentence that Qiduo has summed up now.

"Just looking at it, I think it's delicious." It was Sister-in-law Li who spoke.

This is a quote from the heart.

Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan looked at Qiduo for a long time and were silent.

It made her feel a little hairy, did they suspect something?

"Aunt, Brother Nan......" Qiduo swallowed saliva and whispered, her eyelashes blinked, and she was as aggrieved as she was.

When Zheng Wanru saw the fear in her eyes, her heart suddenly became sour, and she realized that she had misunderstood.

Busy shook her hand lightly, and said softly, "Qiduo, you are really a smart child, and my aunt is excited." ”

Qiduo can't speak all these years, and no one knows the true world in her heart.

Therefore, everything she is showing now is not surprising to Zheng Wanru, people have strengths, and maybe Qiduo is stronger than others in terms of comprehension ability.

Otherwise, where would she do this?

Zheng Wanru did not doubt it, but thought that Qiduo was extremely smart.

Shen Nan glanced at Qiduo more, hooked the corners of his mouth, and sandwiched a river clam, "I'll taste it first, if it's not delicious, I'll settle accounts with you." ”

"You kid, you bully Qiduo every time, you should be beaten." Zheng Wanru scolded, her eyes were full of smiles, and she also sandwiched a river clam.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled.

Sister-in-law Li also clipped one.

Qiduo looked at the three of them a little nervously, waiting for their evaluation.

"Ah, it's delicious, it's not fishy at all, the meat is tender and smooth, so fresh.

Seventh girl, you are really good. Sister-in-law Li was the first to express her opinion, she ate quickly.

Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan ate slowly.

But their eyes were shining, and they nodded at the same time, agreeing with Sister-in-law Li's words.

Zheng Wanru also liked the cold salad Ma Lantou very much, and she repeatedly instructed Sister-in-law Li to pick some tomorrow and come back to make them.

looked at the bottom of the plate, and the happy smiles on the faces of Zheng Wanru and the others.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled.

Such a warm eating atmosphere is almost impossible to have in the Tan family.

After the meal, Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan sent Qiduo to the door of Tan's house.

Qiduo had just stepped into the courtyard gate when he heard footsteps behind him.

Looking back, it was Saburo who had not been seen for a day.

The smell of alcohol crept into her nose.

"The third brother is back, where are you going to eat?" Qiduo said with a chuckle.

"Hehe, it's Qiduo, I went to the county to play tricks when I had nothing to do." Saburo said with a smile on his face.

Going to the county?

Seven eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly.

The Tan family was still eating, and the Yang family didn't know if it was because of their sharp ears and sharp eyes, or other reasons, so they ran out of the hall.

"San Lang, why did you come back?" Yang stepped forward and pulled San Lang and walked to the east chamber.

Complaining as you go.

Seeing Yang and San Lang enter the room, Qiduo was a little stunned, thinking about whether to be a villain again.
