Chapter Seventy-Seven: Thorn Cabbage and Chicken Offal

Shen Shuang, the pheasant hidden in the house, didn't plan to hide it and eat it by herself, so she handed it directly to her mother at this time, "Mother, you take this pheasant and kill it first, I have already asked Xiaoshan to boil water." ”

Xu Shi was stuffed with a chicken in her hand to react, she looked at her daughter and then at the chicken in her hand, and forgot her nervous mood just now, and asked in surprise, "Xiaoshuang, where did this pheasant come from?" ”

Without waiting for Shen Shuang to answer, she immediately thought of a possibility in her mind, raised her head in shock, walked to Shen Shuang's side in a few steps, and spoke with a little nervousness, "Xiaoshuang, tell your mother, are you going to find that little hunter again?" He gave this pheasant? ”

"No, we can't have this pheasant, your grandma will kill you, you hurry up and take it back while your grandma doesn't know, we can't take other people's things."

Shen Shuang couldn't cry or laugh, she knew that the origin of this pheasant had to be explained well, but how could her mother be so smart to contact the little hunter?

"Mother, this pheasant was not sent by a little hunter." Of course I have already eaten the pheasant he doesn't want, and Shen Shuang silently added in his heart after the last sentence.

Xu Shi obviously didn't believe it, and looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression, "Isn't it?" So where did this come from? ”

Shen Shuang lied without blinking at this time, very reasonable, "I picked it up!" When I went up to the mountain in the morning to pick the pepper, I saw that it seemed to have been bitten by something and its paws were fluttering on the ground, and of course I picked it up immediately, and it was almost snatched away. If you don't believe it, look at the pheasants' paws, they are all lame. ”

When Xu Shi heard this, he lifted the pheasant and found that it was really like this, obviously his claws had been bitten off, and there was still blood.

Xu frowned, "This claw may have been bitten by a fierce beast, why did you go up the mountain by yourself?" There are bears and blind bears in the deep mountains, and you are not allowed to go up the mountains yourself in the future to hear it? ”

Xu's expression was rare and serious, but Shen Shuang was not afraid of her mother at all, her temperament was soft, even if she was serious, she was not fierce, "Mother, I didn't go into the mountains, I just walked around the forest to find some Chaotian peppers." ”

"If you don't go into the mountains, you are not allowed to look for it yourself, do you hear? Next time you want to go where you want to go and let your mother take you. ”

Shen Shuang sneered and sighed in a weak heart, but she knew that she couldn't agree to this, otherwise how could she run to the swamp to find good things in the future, according to her mother's cautious temperament, it is estimated that she will not be allowed to act alone on the mountain in the future.

"Then the mother will kill the pheasant first, and you will help the mother take out the wild vegetables from the back basket and wash them."

Shen Shuang walked to the big basket that her mother had brought back today, and after unloading the firewood, there were still wild vegetables in the small half-basket.

Xu and the village women went up the mountain to collect firewood, mainly to find wild vegetables.

She had cut a lot of spinach today, with buds on top, and it looked a bit like a bamboo shoot, or more like unpeeled corn.

Shen Shuang recognized this thorn cabbage because her grandmother liked it very much, when they lived in the town, every season, her grandmother would often go to the door of the vegetable market to ask the grandmother who picked wild vegetables on the mountain if she had fresh thorn cabbage.

Shen Shuang looked at the thorn cabbage in her hand, a trace of nostalgia flashed on her face, how good it would be if her grandmother could be by her side, she sighed in her heart, and quickly turned her mind back, thinking about what to do with this delicious thorn head.

It's a pity that there is no bacon, otherwise you can make the classic fried bacon with spiny cabbage, in this case, Shen Shuang plans to get some chicken fat and chicken offal and Chaotian pepper to fry the stems of the spiny cabbage, and as for the young shoots, he plans to mix it cold.

Because the incident just now delayed a lot of the time to cook dinner on weekdays, Shen Shuang's movements were also subconsciously much faster.

She first took out the thorn cabbage and asparagus in the back basket and washed them one by one and cut them, and her mother had already scalded the pheasant and began to pluck the feathers.

After Shen Shuang disposed of the wild vegetables in the back basket, he suddenly remembered the loaches in the back basket he had put down, and he didn't know if he would die for such a long time.

She hurriedly carried the big basket into her house, and found an empty wooden basin and melon scoop, intending to get all the loaches out of the basket.

Shen Shuang first took out the two well-wrapped chicken legs in the back basket and hid them, and then found a small bamboo basket to put away the duck eggs he picked up, and as for the dozens of water chestnuts, they were also put in a small basket and planned to eat them as snacks.

Because she took a lot of leaves to pad these dirty loaches, she didn't stain the duck eggs and water chestnuts, and the loaches were still stained with a lot of mud, which were almost dried by now, but fortunately the loaches were still moving and not dying.

She scooped all the loaches into the wooden basin with a melon scoop, only to find that she and Xiaoshan had caught a large pot of loaches, but they were only small in the big basket.

When she got up and went out with a large pot of loaches, she frightened Xu, who was killing chickens, and saw a large pot of loaches writhing like snakes, which was still strange and terrifying to look at from a distance.

Xu Shi calmed down and was even more surprised than when he saw the pheasant just now, "Xiaoshuang, where did you catch so many loaches?" You're going to a paddy field today? ”

Although there is no meat to eat and the loach is full of the smell of earth, in fact, the people in the village don't like to eat it very much, but it is meat like a river clam, and the countrymen do not dislike it.

But it is not yet the season of rice planting, and it has not rained recently, so there is no water in the paddy fields, and the people in the village are in a hurry.

Shen Shuang scooped water from the water tank into the wooden basin, and when she heard her mother's words, she paused, and hummed casually. She didn't dare to admit that she secretly ran to the swamp with her brother to catch loaches, otherwise her mother would have to be angry.

Xu always felt that something was wrong, his mouth moved and he wanted to say something, but he felt that his daughter would not lie to herself, so she didn't open her mouth again, and concentrated on opening the belly of the chicken to get all the internal organs out.

Shen Shuang glanced at her mother's side, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she didn't ask any more questions.

After washing it twice, the loach was cleaned, but Shen Shuang didn't deal with the loach, so she could only ask her mother for help, "Mother, this loach will be handed over to you to deal with, I will take this chicken into the soup first, and you can bring it in for me after the internal organs are cleaned." ”

Xu Shi took the wooden basin with a sigh, "Okay, you take it in and make the soup, and I'll leave it to my mother to deal with here." ”

Looking at the back of the chubby girl, Xu was very pleased that the girl was so capable and obedient, originally afraid that she would not adapt to the life here, but she didn't expect her to catch such a dirty loach, no wonder she had so much dirt on her body.

Xu couldn't help but think of his adopted daughter Shen Lianqiao, who was already far away in the capital, and muttered to himself, "I don't know if Forsythia is doing well in the capital." ”

Thinking of his adopted daughter, Xu's eyes dimmed a lot, and when he lowered his head, he couldn't help but redden, thinking about her in his heart.

Shen Shuang didn't know Xu's thoughts, she walked into the kitchen with the cleaned pheasant and put it in the big pot where Xiaoshan had boiled water, instructed Xiaoshan to increase the firewood, and then took out the dried mushrooms from a storage tank in the kitchen and washed them, cut a few pieces of ginger and threw them in.

There was a sauerkraut jar in the corner of the kitchen, and Shen Shuang took out some sauerkraut from a plate of vegetables and walked to the water tank to scoop water and wash the sauerkraut.

Xu's has already dealt with the chicken internal organs, and he is dealing with those slippery loaches at this time, because the grip is unstable, those loaches are still running around, Shen Shuang hurriedly put down the sauerkraut to help catch the loaches that ran out, and just threw the loaches into the wooden basin and got up, Shen Cuini walked in from the gate of the yard.

Shen Shuang saw that Shen Cuini was holding a few spring flowers in her hand, and she seemed to be in a good mood, but as soon as she saw her, the other party's face fell.

At that moment, Shen Shuang had a sentence in his mind: When I saw you, I immediately showed a constipated expression.

In the afternoon, Shen Cuini gave Li Xiuniang a lot of wild fruits picked at the foot of the mountain, but she was not scolded for her poor embroidery work.

She could go home early today, but she didn't go home immediately, but made a special trip to the small river full of spring flowers to play, and waited until the sun was about to go down before she was willing to go home.

As soon as she entered the door and saw Shen Shuang, Shen Cuini immediately thought of the matter of her going to find the little Orion today, but she was not brainless, she didn't dare to confront Shen Shuang directly about this matter, otherwise she would definitely not be able to hide the matter of running to peek at the little Orion when the time came.

If her grandmother and father knew that she ran to see the little Orion, she would definitely have to be scolded, Shen Cuini had a lot of ideas in her heart, and she couldn't help but not run back to fight with Shen Shuang directly.

Rao is like this, she saw that Shen Shuang didn't have a good face, and she could only express her anger with her eyes.

Shen Shuang saw her anger and unhappiness, she naturally looked inexplicable, she didn't know where she offended this master, but she didn't plan to deal with her, but looked away lightly.

She bent down to pick up the sauerkraut and the processed chicken offal on the ground and Xu Shi said, "Mother, I'll go pick up the offal first." ”

"Go, hey, Trini is back."

Xu Shi smiled and spoke, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Trini, so he opened his mouth to say hello.

Shen Cuini originally focused on Shen Shuang, but when she heard her eldest aunt's words, she hummed arrogantly, and was about to withdraw her gaze and go back to the house, but the rest of her eyes saw chicken feathers at her eldest aunt's feet, and she was still holding a struggling loach in her hand, and the wooden basin was full of loaches!

Shen Cuini is very afraid of loaches, she feels that this black and slippery thing is very disgusting, every time she sees a loach on the table, she will play tricks and refuse to eat on the table, of course, the family goes to the field to plant seedlings, she screams as if she sees a leech when she sees a loach, and this is naturally no exception.

When she saw the loaches full of wooden basins, she realized that she retreated, and the spring flowers in her hands fell directly to the ground, and she subconsciously screamed, and the volume shook so much that Shen Shuang's eardrums, who had not yet entered the kitchen, were shaken.

"Ah...... Loach, loach, mother, save me. ”
