After Ai Qiaoqiao returned to the old house, she began to prepare the evening meal non-stop.

Before the evening, Zhang Wu came first, and helped her with listening to the wind and rain.

There are no more eggplants in the vegetable garden, but because they have a cold secret cave, they store all the vegetables they can't eat in advance.

Ai Qiaoqiao picked a few of the largest eggplants and picked up some red and green peppers.

Washing vegetables in the kitchen, two children came back with turnips that had just been pulled out of the field.

"Isn't Qiaoqiao going to make turnip lamb chops, what are these eggplants for?" Zhang Wu asked.

"There's only one dish to eat." Ai Qiaoqiao explained while washing the vegetables, "I'm going to make a garlic roasted eggplant, you can help me burn charcoal." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to burn charcoal, Zhang Wu immediately came to his senses.

All the food baked by Ai Qiaoqiao's hands is his favorite.

Zhang Wu ran to burn charcoal, and Ye Bing entered the courtyard with a large stone slab.

"Does this slate fit you?" Ye Bing asked.

Ai Qiaoqiao always felt that it was a bit unpleasant to let a big beauty carry such a large stone slab.

However, Ye Bing herself didn't feel anything, the people who knew martial arts had a lot of energy, if she really changed to Ai Qiaoqiao to carry it herself, even if she broke the slate in half, she wouldn't be able to carry it.

"That's fine." Ai Qiaoqiao said happily.

She asked the slate to be brushed and dried in front of a charcoal fire, and then set it on a charcoal fire to heat it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the slate was not hot, Ai Qiaoqiao cut the eggplant in half, and made a few vertical cuts in the middle to prevent the eggplant from being fully ripe.

Then she put the eggplant in the pot and steamed it until it was ripe and the eggplant was soft and juicy.

Listen to the wind and bring the end of the chopped garlic over and give Ai Qiaoqiao a look: there is half a bowl.

Listening to the wind, his little face was bitter, "Our arms are tired." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "Give the two of you half an eggplant to eat at night." ”

Listening to the wind, he grinned.

Ai Qiaoqiao put some oil in the wok, poured the minced garlic into it, stir-fried it until fragrant, and put it in a bowl, then mixed the chopped red and green peppers and diced shallots into the bowl.

Ai Qiaoqiao picked up some with chopsticks and tasted them.

Listening to the wind and rain, one left and one right surrounded Ai Qiaoqiao, and his mouth swallowed subconsciously.

Ai Qiaoqiao added salt, soy sauce, miso and oil to the bowl.

"Qiaoqiao, the slate is so hot." Zhang Wu's voice came from the courtyard.

"Coming soon!" Ai Qiaoqiao responded crisply, and brought two children to the courtyard with steamed eggplants and mixed sauces.

Ai Qiaoqiao first applied some oil to the thin stone slab, then spread the eggplant on top of it, the eggplant was facing up, and brushed another layer of oil on it, and then the mixed sauce was evenly spread on top of the eggplant.

The purple eggplant skin, the snow-white eggplant pulp, and the sauce are piled on top, and the red, green, and white ones are lively and lively, and it feels very festive just by looking at it.

Ai Qiaoqiao handed over the task of guarding the eggplant to Zhang Wu, because she had to go back to the kitchen to cook other dishes, but Zhang Wu was worried.

"When is it ripe?" Just when he was scratching his head anxiously, Wen Wenhua took Runxue into the hospital.

Runxue cleaned her hands and came over to help with a smile.

Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wu's father also came and talked to Wen Wenhua about repairing the bridge.

Ai Qiaoqiao was busy in the kitchen, but her ears were not idle, and she kept listening to the movement outside.

Wen Wenhua said: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, so I won't go to the work on the bridge first." ”

Zhang Wu's father was stunned, "It's better to work there than you to farm, why don't you go?" ”

"There is no one at home to take the land...... If my second brother collects the land, I'm afraid that it won't be able to finish when it's cold. ”

Zhang Wu's father snorted dissatisfiedly: "I'm bullying you honest man." ”

Wen Wenhua smiled innocently, "It's just a few acres of land, and it will be harvested in a few days, and when the work at home is finished, I will bring Runxue over and ask her to help Qiaoqiao." ”

"Sister-in-law Runxue is also going to help with the land?" Ai Qiaoqiao stuck her head out of the kitchen.

Runxue smiled embarrassedly, "My family can't be busy by themselves...... When we're done collecting our land, we'll come back and help you collect it. ”

"Coincidentally, I packed it!" Zhang Wu suddenly shouted, "It's only five acres of land, and my father and I can collect it without your help." ”

"How embarrassing is this, Qiaoqiao helped us so much, and often made delicious food and called us over." Runxue really said, "The more people there are, the faster the land." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes rolled, "Sister-in-law Runxue, haven't you ever thought about separating it out?" ”

Hearing this, Runxue's face first showed hope, and then it became dark.

"It's useless, we are a big house in the family, and my mother-in-law will not let us separate it."

"Yes, I divided you, who will work in the family." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly.

Runxue wanted to say something, raised her eyes and looked at Wen Wenhua, bowed her head and said nothing, and continued to guard the eggplant on the slate.

Wen Wenhua was also worried, "My mother doesn't allow us to divide it, I'm the boss, and it's my business to support my family." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't say anything, but in her heart she felt sad about Wen Wenhua's foolish behavior.

Mourning its misfortune and being angry with it refers to such a person.

No matter how much work Wen Wenhua does, no matter how much money he earns to go home, he has to hand it all in...... It's like ...... Her eldest uncle, Ai Tiancheng.

Every time she went back to Ai's compound, it was difficult for her to see Ai Tiancheng, who was always busy in the field until late and came back, covered in mud.

Although he is the eldest in the family, in front of Ai Yonggui, he has no dignity as a brother at all.

Being called as an errand is even more commonplace, thinking about this kind of man, even the Qiu family looks down on it, otherwise how could the Qiu family be unclear with Liu Guan of Deyue Lou in private.

Suddenly thought that the Qiu family ran back to her parents' house, and I don't know if she will go to that Liu steward again.

She was so engrossed that the water in the pot was already boiling.

Listening to the wind to help fish out the lamb chops copied in the water, Ai Qiaoqiao reheated the pan and prepared to oil the lamb chops.

Helpers work more and faster.

When the lamb chops in the casserole are cooked, the eggplant on the outside also burns out the aroma.

"It's time to eat!" Ai Qiaoqiao shouted, "More tubes, less tubes, don't be polite." ”

Seeing her so heroic, everyone laughed.

The lamb chops and radish in the casserole are soaked in a thick broth and topped with a layer of chopped coriander.

Because the lamb chops have been fried in oil, they retain the tenderness and juiciness inside, and when you bite into it, it is sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not fishy, and the taste is rich.

At this time, Runxue also brought the roasted eggplant.

Ai Qiaoqiao sprinkled chopped green onions on top.

The eggplant with a solid texture is full of ingredients, and it is even more delicious than meat in your mouth.

Zhang Wu was burned and inhaled.

Zhang Wu's father took a bite of the dish and said seriously, "Qiaoqiao, have you ever thought that you will open your own restaurant in the future, with your skills, you will definitely attract many diners." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled and helped the Lan family to serve the meal, "Of course I want to, so I have to work hard to make money now, and I'm ready to set up a small shop in the future." ”

Ye Bing, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but say, "How many years is it enough to save money like this, why don't you ask Ye Gongzi to borrow it?" ”

In her opinion, Ye Liyan sincerely asked Ai Qiaoqiao to marry, if she could ask for him, it would be too late for Ye Liyan to be happy.

Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head: "This is my own business, I don't want to trouble others." ”

How could this be troublesome, Nightshade would be glad that she was in trouble with him.

Ye Bing thought in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Everyone had eaten a full meal, and sat in the courtyard talking with unfinished content.

Ai Qiaoqiao had just come out with tea, and suddenly saw Ye Bing looking at the gate of the courtyard vigilantly, and picked up the long sword that had been by his side.

At the same time, the sound of the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage was heard outside the courtyard gate......
