Chapter 42: The Lazy Woman

He was a little stunned by a pair of bright eyes, Xie Yuqi's smile was as magnificent and gorgeous as the sunrise on the sea, and his beautiful face was a little dazzling for a while.

"If you don't handle your hands again, you're going to get infected."

As he spoke, he dug out some lard from the clay pot on the side.

"It's lard, how disgusting." He seemed to want to take it back, but unfortunately, the pair of Rouyi clenched his hand and didn't let him move.

"This is moisturizing, don't dislike it. Works great, I promise. When tomorrow is over, she will go to the mountains to find some ginseng, cork, atractylodes and wild chrysanthemums to make a balm, and rub it for a few days at night.

Xie Yuqi muttered quietly, with a serious face.

"I'll Trust You Again"

"Required"

Xiaoxiao Xiang's ancestral hall was already full of people, men, women and children all gathered together to chat with smiles. Xie Yuqi attracted a lot of attention as soon as he arrived, after all, such a look was really outstanding. Fahrenheit beckoned to her from afar.

"Lang Niangzi, this way"

"Oh, yes"

Fahrenheit crouched in the doorway, with a large wooden basin in front of him, which contained vegetables that were floating in the water and still carrying dirt, which seemed to be the vegetables that were going to be eaten today. There were two other rural women squatting around, all of whom she did not know.

"The one on the left is Sister-in-law Osmanthus, and her son is Lin Gui you have seen, the only talented master in our Yangjia Village."

Xie Yuqi remembered in his mind that the last time when the Fang clan was looking for fault, the young man who wore a scholarly robe and looked proud was her son. Looking at the osmanthus sister-in-law, she is also better than the women in the same village, although her beautiful facial features are not fair, they are also cleaned up and light. Wearing a dark purple embroidered half-arm, under the indigo horse face skirt. The exposed shoes were wearing red cotton socks, and the whole person was energetic and shrewd.

"The one on the right is called Yueniang, and she is the niece of the Fang family. Married to the Yang family, you can call her Sister Yueniang. ”

"I've seen this sister-in-law, last autumn harvest. She brought a young boy with her. ”

Yueniang is in her early twenties, and she is still relatively shy, originally thinking that Xie Yumian was more difficult to get along with and was afraid to get close. The impression of the last time she nodded and said hello made her think that this lady of the Lang family was a person who had a lot of things. Now that Xie Yuqi took the initiative to speak, Yueniang responded in a low voice, "Good sister of the Lang family"

"Hello sister, by the way, is there anything you need me to help with?"

Sister-in-law Osmanthus actually couldn't believe it, this Lang family lady looked so delicate that the wind could blow away, and her hands were as white as the green onions that had just been peeled off. At first glance, it is a person who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, how can he work.

People in the village often saw the Langjun Xianggong going to fetch water and chop wood early, and several times he washed his own clothes.

Xie Yuyi's reputation as a "lazy woman" seems to have spread throughout Yangjia Village.

"That's just right, Lang Niang, you are a good cook, how about today's main dish to you?" As soon as Hua's words fell, Sister-in-law Osmanthus frowned a little, "Can this work?" ”

"Of course you can, the spicy crayfish last time was made by the lady of the Lang family. My family boasted that it was delicious. ”

"My sister-in-law praised it falsely, but in fact, it was just a fresh meal."

Xie Yuqi lowered his eyebrows and played the role of an "obedient little daughter-in-law", silently washed his hands and followed Hua into the kitchen.

Neatly arranged, the washed vegetables and meat aside, she looked around, first took out the killed chicken, opened the belly, hollowed out the internal organs of the chicken's belly, and then cut it into pieces.

Peppercorns, dried chili peppers, green onions and ginger were put down successively.

At this moment, the fragrance was hung up, and everyone inside and outside the room was stunned, and they all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the door.

Fahrenheit sniffed, and couldn't help but feel the urge to drool, "Girl, what's that cyan thing you're down?" ”

"Sichuan peppercorns"

"Zi"

The chicken pieces are put into the pot, and the meat is full of flavor. The woman quickly poured in some liquor, soy sauce, salt, and a spoonful of sugar. By the fire, the chicken, which was still white just now, suddenly turned brown.

"Sister-in-law, help me fill some water!"

Fahrenheit nodded, filled a large ceramic bowl with water and handed it to her, poured the water into the pot, and closed the lid. Xie Yuyu immediately chose a pumpkin and cut it, and took out the bag inside, Hua looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Aren't these all edible?" ”

"The next thing I'm going to do is pumpkin baked rice, which I don't need anymore."

"Girl, where did you learn your cooking skills? We've been cooking for more than ten years, and we don't know what this pepper is? Fahrenheit's words also attracted the same attention to everyone else.

Xie Yuqi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his mind was running at high speed, "When my family was still rich, the house once invited a foreign cook. When I was a child, the master planted this pepper in the open space in the backyard. Later, my family fell, and the master left. The tree was burned by a fire, and the master gave it to me as a souvenir before leaving. ”

"Fan..... Extraordinary"

"Yes, from the North."

"That's no wonder, your brother said that there are a lot of new things in the northern Xinjiang, as well as blonde monsters and dwarves in the land." Osmanthus sister-in-law muttered.

Xie Yuqi "......."

It's good if you're happy.

Xie Yuqi didn't answer, lowered his head and seriously peeled and seeded the pumpkin, and everything was in pieces.

"No wonder, is that zodiacly sachet also from Fanwai?" Fahrenheit looked at the man with bright eyes.

The girl raised her head: "Sister-in-law, do you know my sachet?" ”

"It's not that on the day of Qixi Festival, my family also took me to put on the lanterns and saw you husband and wife from afar. Seeing too many people, we can't bother. But it's just a matter of hearing people around me talk. ”

"Well, it's from the East. If my sister-in-law likes it, I'll give you one. By the way, what month did you go to? ”

"May 20"

"That's Taurus," Xie Yuqi said with a smile, putting salt in the water and cooking the pumpkin.

Zhang's heart is itching, why didn't this Lang lady continue to say? So, she could only bite the bullet and continue to ask, "Sister, you are really smart, but what is this constellation?" And how do you know what it's like? ”

Xie Yuqi thought that she was just asking, so he also explained the constellation.

Zhang listened carefully and remembered every word in his heart.

"It's almost good"

"Huh?" How simple is it? When Zhang didn't continue to ask about the order of the twelve zodiac signs, Xie Yuqi turned around and took a little from the oil pot and poured it into the pot. Take two egg yolks and put them in, and pour the strained pumpkin into it and stir-fry.

She pinched a piece of coriander on a white porcelain plate with a golden pumpkin gratin, and decorated it with a piece of coriander.

For a while, everyone was attracted by the plate of pumpkin, and Zhang didn't have time to speak. Xie Yuqi was surrounded by everyone with a plate, and she was squeezed to the door, so she could only give up.

Braised chicken nuggets and pumpkin gratin were undoubtedly the most popular dishes of the day.

The elders and children of the village were all attracted by these two dishes, and they were more impressed by her.

During the festival, the village chief speaks first, and then each family offers delicious food. I don't know where to invite a nun, knocking on the wooden fish and I don't know what the hell is written in my mouth, Xie Yuqi was tired for a long time. Sitting on a chair and knocking on the waist board, he looked at this original sacrificial scene.

It's a pity that Lang Yiyan refused to come.

There was laughter and laughter all around, but Xie Yuqi felt that he was as redundant as an outsider.

"Master"

"Tiger Sheng? Why are you here" She turned her head to see that the little boy came over with a large basket of purple and white wildflowers, and the little one handed her the flowers. For you."

"It's beautiful, thank you Husheng. By the way, is your mother better? ”

Husheng shook his head, "My mother coughed again, and I was in a coma for a while yesterday." ”

Xie Yuqi felt quite uncomfortable in her heart, looking at Husheng bowing her head sadly, she comfortingly stroked his little head, "In this way, next time your mother is asleep, you will put this on the pillow for her." Inside are some cough and sleep medicines. ”

"It's... Thank you, Master."

"You're welcome, let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

Xie Yuqi took his hand and found the nearest table to sit down, and just took two bowls. Yang Xue took a woman's arm and sat opposite the two.

When the girl saw Xie Yuqi, she glared fiercely.

This is the first time that Rong has seen the lady of the Lang family.

For a moment, I also wondered if I had my eyes spent, how could there be such a peugeot girl? I heard that the lady of the Lang family is good-looking, and she is also a little disdainful in her heart, no matter how good-looking she is, she is married, can she have her own daughter Zhou Zheng?

But when he saw me, Rong had to admit it.

The Lang lady in front of her is shocking, and her temperament stands out from the crowd.

"You are the lady of the Lang family?"

Xie Yuqi raised his head, and the woman in front of him was wearing a horse-faced skirt embroidered with peonies in water red, with dark purple pipa sleeves. The face is coated with thick gouache, two carmine rosΓ©. The gold jewelry on the wrist around the neck looks like a nouveau riche.

I have to say that this dress is really a bit gaudy.

"Hello, I'm Xie Yuyi, the daughter-in-law of the Lang family, who are you?"

"I'm the village chief's wife," she coughed as she pinched her handkerchief, and looked at the woman in front of her with a proud expression on her face.

The latter smiled lightly and nodded, "Oh"

Rong's face was stunned, this is gone?

"Lang Niangzi is really a big shelf, one of my elders is standing and talking to you, and you are sitting generously!"

Xie Yuqi frowned, is it really that the person who came is not good?

She put down the bowl and put a piece of chicken into Husheng's bowl, "Husheng, you continue to eat." ”

"Lang Niang!"

"Mrs. Village Chief, I'm still young, and I'm not deaf. You don't have to call me so loudly, I can hear thank you! ”

"Then why don't you reply to my mother's words?" Yang Xue has a mother here, and she is arrogant.

Xie Yuqi was still sitting, looking at the mother and daughter in front of him, and the corners of his lips hooked an elegant arc, "First, I was originally sitting here, auntie, you have to come up by yourself." As for whether you sit or stand, that's your freedom, and in the same way, mine. Second, do I have to answer you when you speak? As soon as you came, your tone was not good, and you had the posture of asking the teacher to ask about the crime, is it my Xie Yuqi who has a big shelf? Or is your voice loud? ”

Her voice is not loud, but the words are correct and round, and the words are clear.

The people around him also put down the things in their hands and looked at them in unison.

Yang Xue couldn't refute what she said for a while, and her cheeks flushed with anger, "Mother, look at her clever tongue." ”

"Hmph, a disrespectful fox like you, with a disfigured ghost, and now with a dead father's little nemesis to eat and drink? Today is the sacrificial meeting, Mrs. Ben is too lazy to bother with you, you are not welcome here, get out! ”

Husheng had rice in his mouth, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Raised his head and looked at Rong's, "I'm not a nemesis, I'm not a woo......"

"Is this where you can come in? You ominous little wild species, you don't deserve to be there. Cher, if you smash his bowl, even if you give it to the dog, you can't reward him! ”

Yang Xue had no choice but to sprinkle her anger on Hu Sheng.

When reaching out to grab the bowl.

Xie Yuyi's eyes quickly pulled Husheng away, picked up the wine glass on the table with his left hand, and splashed towards Yang Xue with his face: "I think which of you dares to touch him?" ”

"Wow"

The wine was spilled all over the floor.

Yang Xue's delicate makeup was suddenly drenched, and water droplets dripped down her chin and onto her chest. Luo's shirt was soaked, clinging to her body, reflecting the big red mandarin duck belly pocket inside her.
