When the old man's wishful thinking crackled, Yao Erniang and the scalper also changed their clothes and came out, the mother and son went back to the stove room, the scalper used a bamboo pot to fill the remaining puffy gray water, and Erniang also used a Tao Wan to fill the unused noodles and rolling pins, and put them in a basket and went out.

Walking to the main street, Erniang went to the meat stall and cut two catties of mutton, three catties of water, and weighed a lamb bone, this is about to go, the scalper couldn't help but be curious when he saw it: "Mother, use these to cook mutton soup?" Or is it that my family's ancestral haggis soup is made of lamb bones? ”

"Yes!" Yao Erniang nodded and asked rhetorically, "What do you use to cook mutton soup without mutton bones?" ”

The scalper hurriedly asked, "Isn't there a secret recipe?" ”

Yao Erniang smiled when she heard this, but said close to the scalper's ear: "Yes, I'll see it later." ”

Seeing that the old lady was confident, naturally there was no need to ask, so the mother and son walked along the main street to Yao's house, walked a short distance and turned into the vegetable lane to buy some radish, garlic sprouts, ginger, garlic, and then turned into the grocery lane and sold some tangerine peel powder, cinnamon powder, large and small fennel and dogwood from the pharmacy, and then turned back to the main street to Yao's house.

Today, Yao Zheng wants to be on duty in the yamen, and he is naturally no longer at home at this time, and his aunt led the two aunts to welcome the mother and son into the door, and then he was invited to the flower hall to speak, but Yao Erniang bluntly said that today it was a scalper who was going to come to eat and his mother's uncle, and after a few words of greeting, he went straight to the stove room.

After entering the stove room, Yao Erniang instructed the scalpers to turn around like a cook, washing pots, lighting fires, boiling water, cutting meat, knocking bones, washing haggis, and washing radishes, old ginger, and garlic. ”

When my aunt heard this, she was surprised and said, "But the ancestral recipe of my brother-in-law's family? But I didn't dare to learn it! ”

Yao Erniang slapped the ginger garlic with a knife and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid! If you learn it, it's just a recipe. If it weren't for San Lang's love yesterday, my son and the old man at home would be afraid that they would get into trouble, how could Fang Zi's life be valuable? ”

My aunt was puzzled when she heard it, it seemed that Yao Zheng hadn't told her family about yesterday's incident, Yao Erniang simply told the ins and outs of the scalpers beating the kidnappers to save people. Of course, the hands are also non-stop, and the scalpers on the side have also carefully studied the ancestral sheep soup of the old Huang family.

First of all, the mutton and mutton bones are blanched, the mutton divided into pieces is turned over twice in the boiling water, and then it is beaten back and forth with the back of the knife, and then put it into the pot to cook for a moment after the meat tendons are scattered, and then the head soup is scooped up after the foam is removed, and the water is added again and salted, ginger and garlic, tangerine peel powder, cinnamon powder, radish cut and large and small fennel are boiled over high heat.

As for the secret recipe, when the soup was opened, Yao Erniang washed the rolling pin she took from home and put it into the pot, and explained: "The secret recipe of this sheep soup, in addition to a few materials, the most important thing is this pine rolling pin, even the Niu family has never passed on him." ”

After boiling for about two moments, the mutton was put out of the pot, and the rolling pin was taken out, and then the head soup that was taken out before was put in, and a small pot was taken to scoop some soup to cook the haggis and take it out to cool and cut it, and finally the stove was covered with chaff shells, and the mutton soup was boiled.

Here, the scalper looked at the fire, but Yao Erniang went to the flower hall with her aunts and uncles to talk.

It wasn't until near noon that Yao Zheng came back from duty, and as soon as he entered the stove room, Yao Zheng looked directly at the scalper, and said with a smile: "Good boy, so bold on the ground?" ”

The scalper knew what he meant, and hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Alas! Uncle didn't know, yesterday my father came back to say it, but the nephew was shocked, and the nephew didn't know how to beat the kidnapper to death. ”

Yao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "But it wasn't you who killed it, it was drowned." According to your father, you just smashed the back of your axe without breaking the skin, but you didn't know that this blow actually broke his shoulder bone. Then he threw himself into the water and escaped, but his shoulder bone was broken and he walked finely, but he died when he entered the water, and he drowned alive, so it's no wonder that Jie'er. ”

The aunts and aunts who followed behind listened, and then they stared at the scalpers with their eyes covered their mouths, and the uncle's concubine Aunt Chun shouted even more boldly: "Ouch! Official, the floating corpse that was picked up in the Xibian River yesterday was actually killed by a calf? ”

Yao Zheng nodded, and also said: "That person is Ma San, the son of the waves on the river, this thief is a traitor, and his crime is extremely heinous, he is a thief caught by the sea in the six provinces, and a head is worth twenty times." ”

My aunt and aunt were amazed when they heard this, but Yao Erniang walked up and said, "If you don't kneel down and kowtow to your uncle, if it weren't for your uncle's plan, how could you get out of this relationship?" ”

Originally, the scalper heard that he had broken the shoulder bone of the crutch with the back of an axe, and he was still dissatisfied, but when he heard Erniang's words, he hurriedly put out his thoughts, knelt down and bowed: "Nephew, thank you uncle for your kindness!" ”

Yao Zheng hurriedly came to help when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Get up!" Get up! It's not a New Year's Day, how can you make this great gift? ”

He said to Yao Erniang again: "What does the family say, what is my sister doing?" ”

Stretching out her hand to pull her aunt, Yao Erniang smiled and said: "How can San Lang not accept this worship, Shi Caiyu told Yan Niang, Niu Er is fourteen years old and will go to school, Yu'er is also twelve, and when he chooses an auspicious day next year, he will change his name to his father-in-law." ”

When Yao Zheng heard this, he reached out and stroked the short beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "That's right!" I can stand it! Stand it! ”

When the scalper heard it, it was a buzz in her head, the Yu'er that Yao Erniang just said was Yao Zheng's eldest daughter, that is, the cousin of the scalper, who was only twelve years old this year. Although the scalper pretended to have amnesia, he also remembered that he had set a baby kiss with his cousin when he was very young, and he never thought that Yao Erniang would come to make ramen under the pretext of making ramen, but in fact, he came to make this family affair real, and looking at the faces of his uncle and aunt, he didn't have any objection to this marriage.

Since the uncle said that he could stand it, the scalper could only bow to his uncle and aunt three times according to the rules, and then he stood up, but his face was as ashamed as a monkey's buttocks, and he couldn't speak.

When everyone saw it, they naturally laughed, but Aunt Qiu, another concubine of my uncle, turned around and went to the back house, and after a while, she brought a little lady out, and the scalper knew that it was her cousin Yu'er as soon as she recognized it.

Yu'er is only twelve years old this year, and she is only more than four feet tall, less than the shoulders of a scalper, and her goose egg face has not grown, but she has also inherited her aunt's seven-point color, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a little beauty. At this time, she was wearing a light green summer shirt, a pair of sparrow cloud shoes, embroidered lotus leaves on her belt, and a piece of Wen Pei and a sachet embroidered with a green duck playing in the water.

However, this cousin is also sensible, and hurriedly saluted Yao Erniang and the scalper, and deliberately sniffed: "It's so fragrant!" Is there a lamb soup cooked by my cousin in the stove? ”

"Yes, yes! Today I came to make some food to taste with my mother, uncle, and cousin. The scalper hurriedly answered, but he looked at Erniang with his eyes, Yao Erniang naturally understood, so he said that the ramen he wanted to make was different from the usual pasta.
