Chapter 51: The Kitchen Knife Kills People
"How is this possible, the Zhao family's attitude of treating wealth as their life, only they go to other people's houses to get money, how can they give it to others, even the village chief is impossible."
Aunt Xu replied but asked puzzledly: "How can a shallow girl ask like this?" ”
Bai Qianning was not in a hurry to answer, and asked again: "This extra ten taels of silver was won by Zhao Laogen, if the Zhao family refuses to spit out some as a thank you, then guess what, will Liu Cuiping's family and Zhao Laogen have a disagreement?" It is said that people die for money, birds die for food, and brothers have to settle accounts, Zhao Laogen let them get ten taels more silver in one sentence, I think even if they are related to each other, the drama of their fight in this nest should not be small. ”
"Hey! It's not that I'm boasting, this shallow girl is just good! ”
Aunt Xu finally reacted, slapped her thigh, and said with a smile: "You are changing the law to let Zhao Laogen and Liu Cuiping's family fight in the nest, a full twenty taels of silver, can you not fight to the sky?" If you can't keep it, there will be a good show to watch in the next few days. ”
Can......
Aunt Xu was secretly excited for a long time, and then she returned her attention to the twenty taels of silver, and hurriedly asked, "But what should I do with these twenty taels of silver?" ”
"Aunt Xu doesn't have to worry, and you don't need to pay for it, I have my own way."
Bai Qianning said a word, and didn't intend to say more, lest they would not be able to make up an excuse if they asked again, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Now the sun is going to set, after a day of arguing, I still hurry up to make dinner, as for the Zhao family, as long as they don't enter the house, let them toss." ”
Bai Qianning said as he walked to the rice jar and prepared to scoop some cornmeal out of the pancakes, and politely said: "You can also stay and eat together, speaking of which, this rice and noodles are still sent by your family." ”
"No, let's go home and cook it, it's all ready-made dishes, and it's easy to make."
How could Aunt Xu not know the amount of food they sent, if their family stayed to eat, it would be strange if they had to empty it. So he excused himself while talking, and watched the sky get darker, and then took the family home.
The Xu family left, and the room was much empty, but the figure of the Zhao family faintly appearing outside the door was really a little dazzling.
Bai Qianning was so lazy that he didn't bother to pay attention to it, boiled some boiling water and poured it into the basin containing the cornmeal, scooped a few small bowls of wheat flour into it, and began to mix the noodles. You also hummed a little tune.
Xiao Douding stared at the Zhao family by the door frame for a long time, and saw that they didn't have any strange behavior, so he turned around boredly, and asked Bai Qianning in a small milk voice, "Mother, don't they go home for dinner?" ”
"Who knows"
Bai Qianning replied lightly, her eyes rolled, and she said with a wicked smile: "Don't worry about them, my mother will make you a fragrant delicacy tonight, and the neighbors and children are all crying." ”
Bai Qianning exaggerated an Internet buzzword, and hummed a little song to himself.
But Zhan Qianche, who was standing on the side and condensed for a long time, always felt that there was some ghost idea hidden in her words, and she couldn't help but have a layer of exploration about this woman, and she kept saying that she could take out twenty taels of silver without their help, and there must be something hidden that he couldn't guess.
Zhan Qianche was staring at Bai Qianning's back and secretly pondering, but Bai Qianning suddenly stopped humming, turned around and said, "By the way, I'm bothering the prince to deal with the quails, and then set up a firewood in the yard, and I'll roast the quails later." ”
"Oh...... Well! ”
Zhan Qianche hurriedly withdrew his gaze, his expression looked a little unnatural, and after answering, he stood up and took Xiao Douding to look for the quail he had caught earlier. But after searching all over the house, only two were found, and at this moment, the little fox suddenly broke free of Xiao Douding's arm and ran out of the courtyard.
"Tangyuan, where are you going?"
Xiao Douding hurriedly shook his little ass and chased it out, he got into trouble when he ran out before, if he ran again, his mother couldn't stew it!
It's terrible to think about, Xiaodouding chased and imagined in her heart the appearance of her mother making a skewered roasted fox, after all, she had seen the young hiding gray crane's head with her own eyes, and that scene was so bloody that it was not suitable for children.
Zhan Qianche saw Xiao Douding chasing him out, so he threw the quail in his hand into the bamboo basket and followed. The Zhao family was still hanging outside the door, and he really didn't feel at ease when Xiao Douding ran out like this.
And Bai Qianning, who was still in the face, saw that the little fox had run away, so he remembered to settle old accounts, wiped his hands with a rag, and followed out angrily with a kitchen knife.
"Dare to run, I'll bake you together!"
As soon as Bai Qianning's words fell, he saw Zhan Qianche and Xiaodouding standing by the well, one holding the fox, and the other holding a quail in his hand and turning around.
"What's going on?"
"Mother, Xiao Tangyuan is helping us catch quails."
Xiao Douding hurriedly rehabilitated the little fox, for fear that if she spoke slowly for a while, her mother would have to chop the little fox with a kitchen knife.
"Catching quails? So it also ran out to catch quails at noon today? Bai Qianning saw the innocent look of the little fox, and finally understood that it was the quail that wanted to run away, not the little fox.
Thinking that he was wrong to blame the little fox, Bai Qianning eased his expression, and stepped forward to take the little fox over to appease him, but as soon as his hand reached over, the little fox's white billowing hair stood up.
"Mother, you, you, what are you going to do? It's not the fault of the little rice ball, you can't kill it. ”
Xiao Douding was also startled when he saw Bai Qianning holding a kitchen knife in one hand and reaching towards the little fox with the other, and hurriedly explained that the little fox in his arms was tighter.
"Who's going to kill it?"
Bai Qianning replied to himself, only to find the kitchen knife he was holding in his hand, and immediately handed the kitchen knife in his hand to Zhan Qianche, smiled awkwardly, and then reached out and coaxed along the fox fur of Xiao Tangyuan: "I blamed you for today, I will roast this quail in a while, can I apologize to you?" ”
The little fox, who was originally cowering in Xiao Douding's arms, stretched out his little head a little bit, and squeaked twice, which was considered to be agreed.
Seeing that the little fox could understand her words, Bai Qianning was stunned, thinking that the old saying that foxes have spirituality, and it was really interesting to keep it up, so he secretly wondered when he would have a 'deep exchange' with this little fox.
Thinking like this, his eyes were attracted by the Zhao family who were standing in the middle of the courtyard and stretched their necks to look this way. Bai Qianning snatched the kitchen knife in Zhan Qianche's hand again, and walked towards Liu Cuiping.
"Give me a retreat, if you want to guard, you will also retreat for me outside the courtyard, and if you dare to trespass into the house, I will let you see what a little white flying knife is!"
Bai Qianning waved while moving forward.
How could the Zhao family withstand such intimidation, they were so frightened that they took several steps back, and Zhao Daniu and Zhao Erniu even ran out of the hospital.
It wasn't until the Zhao family was driven out of the courtyard that Bai Qianning put down the hand holding the kitchen knife, locked the courtyard door, and beckoned Xiaodouding back to the house.
The three of them took the little fox back to the house, Bai Qianning continued to make peace, while Zhan Qianche carried three quails in the yard to deal with them.
Bai Qianning reconciled the cornmeal, lit the stove, poured two spoonfuls of water into the pot, kneaded the dough into small round balls, and flattened it on the edge of the pot. Because there was no bamboo ring to prevent the dough from slipping, Bai Qianning deliberately mixed the dough to dry, and the dough did not slip into the water when it was pasted up.
After pasting the noodles, Bai Qianning took the lid of the pot and let it steam.
After doing this, it happened that Zhan Qianche also brought in the quail, knowing that he was going to make roasted quails, and he also sharpened three thumb-thick wooden sticks and handed them to Bai Qianning.
"Firewood has been set up in the yard, but it's windy outside, so I'm afraid it's not good to bake."
Zhan Qianche reminded him, but he didn't expect to make Bai Qianning change her mind, the most important thing was that she didn't want to miss the delicious taste in her mouth. I have to admit that his stomach, which was originally unjustified and collected as ordered, has been completely picked by Bai Qianning's cooking skills.
"If it's not good to bake, burn the fire to a big one, otherwise the Zhao family will guard it like this, and it won't freeze!"
Bai Qianning raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly. The words were clearly for the consideration of the Zhao family, but Zhan Qianche felt weird how he listened to it, if he hadn't had the feat of holding a kitchen knife to kill people, maybe he would really believe her 'kindness'.
"Mother, they've all been kicked out by you, and they can't be roasted?"
Xiao Douding also asked at the right time, but he seemed to have found the answer in his own question, and he rolled his little eyes and asked with a smile: "Did my mother deliberately let them look at the fire and not be able to roast, smell the fragrance and not eat?" ”
"Hey! Sure enough, it's a clever ghost! ”
Bai Qianning stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of Xiao Douding's nose before muttering, "Now you should know what to do when you eat in the yard later, right?" ”
"Hmmm! It smells so good! ”
Xiao Douding immediately understood, closed his eyes and sniffed, pretending to enjoy his face.
Bai Qianning was amused by this expression, and only patted her little shoulder and said, "You first follow Uncle to move a stool to the yard to do it, and make the fire prosperous, and I will come out after I have marinated the quail." ”
"Hmmm! Good. ”
Xiao Douding nodded, and then took Zhan Qianche's hand and asked him to take him out.
Zhan Qianche was still reminiscing about their conversation, the corners of his lips unconsciously overflowed with a smile, he picked up one stool and stacked it on another, bent his arm, picked up the stool, and led Xiao Douding out of the threshold.
Bai Qianning saw that they were gone, and hurriedly manipulated his consciousness to enter the space to search, only to almost forget, roasted quail seasoning is indispensable, in addition to oil and salt, this house is simply destitute, no matter how good she is in the world, she can't make much delicious food, and now she can only hope for the seed space, maybe luckier will allow her to find some usable materials.
Bai Qianning's consciousness entered the seed warehouse first, and after rummaging through it, she really found a lot of good things.
