115. Lo-mei

After returning home, Xie Wang's face was tense and he asked Xie Pingtian to go to Liushutun to pick up Guo Matchmaker.

Xie Ping'an has not come back from Zhuangzi, only Xie Pingtian and Xie Qingshan are at home.

In the Xie family hall, Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and Xie Pingtian sat at the bottom.

"It's useless to talk about it this time, this Second Sister Zhao not only looks down on our family, saying that we are from mud legs, but also has an unclear relationship with the third young master of the Shen family, and if she wants to marry such a woman and enter the door, her face will be lost!" Xie Wang's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily.

Xie Qingshan also frowned, as if he couldn't believe it.

Xie Pingtian looked at his father's face, then looked at Xie Wang, and hesitated: "Do you want to talk to Ping'an......

"Say! Of course, I have to say, let him see what kind of goods this Second Sister Zhao is! Xie Wangteng got up from the bench, "You know what people say, then Second Sister Zhao said that she begged her with a dead face, and she agreed to marry Ping'an!" My son crawled out of my intestines, looking at it like a baby, what is it in her eyes? It's a fool to tease at will! He's a chaotic goof! ”

Seeing that Xie Wang's family was very angry, Xie Qingshan patted the Eight Immortals table and shouted to Xie Pingtian: "Pingtian, you go and take Guo Matchmaker's wife, I want to ask, what kind of heart did she have for introducing such a girl to our family!" ”

Xie Pingtian saw that his father and mother were angry, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately got up and went to the backyard to lead the carriage, and was about to go to Liushutun to pick up people.

In the kitchen, Xie Xuan is preparing a marinated bun with braised pork and cooked food.

Lin had just killed a chicken, boiled a basin of hot water, and was plucking the chicken.

A pot of bone broth was boiling in a large iron pot on the stove, and the bones were bought in Huluzhuang.

"Xuanxuan, then Second Sister Zhao really said that?" The Lin family couldn't believe it, and asked curiously while plucking chicken feathers, "What else is the third young master of the Shen family, which is also true?" ”

"Where do I know? That Qiu Ju quarreled with Second Sister Zhao, and I listened to my grandmother next to me! ”

Xie Xuan mixed all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine seasonings according to the proportion in her memory, and slowly put them into the pocket sewn with gauze while thinking, Luo Han Guo, white peony, angelica, cinnamon, Chuanxiong, sand kernel, fennel, grass fruit, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., there are fifteen or sixteen kinds of spices.

"Then Second Sister Zhao is really that good-looking? Just be fascinated by your brother-in-law like that......" Lin took advantage of the time to ask, she cleaned all the chicken feathers, changed a basin of hot water, and took a kitchen knife and began to open the intestines of the chicken.

"Alas! What is good-looking or not, in my eyes, Da Yan is the best-looking! Xie Xuan said sweetly, and successfully saw Lin's Zitang face squinting with a smile.

"You can pour me ecstasy soup!" Lin couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and the kitchen knife in his hand neatly cut open the rooster's belly, and pulled out all the internal organs, "I haven't seen that Second Sister Zhao either, but I've heard your grandmother say it twice, and I heard that she seems to be a girl who likes to dress up." Tell me, what does Second Sister Zhao look like? ”

Xie Xuan prepared the material bag, sewed the gauze wrap with a needle, tilted her head and thought about it: "Then Second Sister Zhao, with a pointed melon seed face and apricot eyes, according to what Grandma said, 'there are hooks in the eyes', and when you look at people, you think it will hook people." There are a few pockmarks on the cheeks, and you can't see it if you don't look closely. It's just that the skin is not good-looking, yellow, black, yellow, and black, just like his father. I think the best thing about her is her figure, tall and thin, like a wicker swaying willow ......"

In his previous life, Xie Xuan was prone to obesity, and if she ate more, she would grow meat, and what she envied the most was that she had a thin and curvy body, so she said.

"Hearing you say this, then this second sister Zhao is really good, no wonder your brother-in-law is like that. You are so damn about me, I will be like this in this life......" Lin took out the internal organs of the chicken and put it into the coarse porcelain bowl next to him, lowered his head and sighed.

Lin is the kind of stout figure, even if he is not fat, the skeleton looks thick.

She has never felt inferior to her figure before, the Xie family used to be poor, and the daughter-in-law who can marry is good, and the Lin family is virtuous and diligent, and has always been respected and happy by the Xie family.

But as the Xie family became richer and richer, Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an also ran more and more outside, and she began to worry for no reason, worried that her husband would see more outside, so she began to dislike her.

In addition, her mother's family did not give enough and made such a big mistake, although her husband and in-laws did not pursue it, she felt that her heart was a little shorter in her in-law's family.

I heard from my in-laws that Second Sister Zhao is a person, and I feel that the future concubine may be a bad person, if Second Sister Zhao comes to Xie's house, with her fifty taels of bride price, she will not look at her sister-in-law, who only has seven or eight taels of bride price, what should she do?

Recently, she has also begun to pay attention to her image, and the cream given by Xuanxuan is also willing to use it, not as distressed as before, only using a little bit.

"Da Yan, why do you say that, what kind of crude benzene and crude benzene? I see that the eldest sister is a hundred times stronger than the second sister Zhao, she will also dress up, but in my opinion, she is a two-faced, one set in front of the person and one in the back, I and my grandmother don't like her, this time this family affair will definitely not work! "Even if Xie Xuan is a human being for two more lives, and he is not an immortal, where can he know those sensitive thoughts in the Lin family's heart, so he comforted.

Because Xie Wang's family is so angry, Second Sister Zhao doesn't seem to really like Xie Ping'an, but she fell in love with the Xie family's sudden new wealth, so she picked up Xie Ping'an and didn't let go.

When Xie Ping'an came back, he told Xie Ping'an about Second Sister Zhao's personality, even if Xie Ping'an liked her again, he couldn't bear to have his daughter-in-law involved with other men.

Xie Xuan naturally didn't like Second Sister Zhao either, she had a hunch that with this Second Sister Zhao's personality, marrying into the Xie family would definitely give birth to a lot of things.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Xie Ping'an and Second Sister Zhao's family affair is probably really going to be yellow.

Xie Xuan thought so.

The jujube trees outside the kitchen swayed in the cold wind, and the branches collided with each other, making a small "bang-la-la-la" sound, which added a bit of gloom to this cold winter.

The green smoke rising from the kitchen chimney dispelled the chill, and the aroma of pork gradually permeated the entire courtyard of the Xie family.

There are two pots burning on the stove, one pot is boiling the bone broth and the packet just made, and the other is used to fry the sugar.

Xie Xuan said while Lin did.

I saw that the soybean oil in the pot was hot, Lin poured in two spoonfuls of sugar, stirred quickly, and waited until it was fried until it was dark red, and white bubbles rose on it, and Xie Xuan, who was waiting next to him, hurriedly added a scoop of water.

Add the fried sugar color to the braised soup next to it, and Lin brushed the pot neatly.

Under Xie Xuan's guidance, Lin used the chicken he had just killed to refine some chicken fat, threw the green onions, ginger, dried shallots, garlic, and coriander into it, stir-fried it over low heat for a quarter of an hour, and then put it in a sewn gauze bag and put it into the braised soup.

Put the large clay pot you bought earlier on a small stove, pour in the marinade, blanch the cleaned chicken and the pig's head meat divided into two pieces, add salt, star anise, peppercorns, and cooking wine into the clay pot and marinate together.

"Okay, use a clay pot to slowly marinate, heat over low heat, and it will be almost an hour and a half to marinate." Xie Xuan looked at the color, smelled the smell, and showed a little satisfaction on her face.

Although there are no modern seasonings such as monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, light soy sauce, and fish sauce, the taste is definitely not so sufficient, but it is much better than the Jiangjia roast chicken shop and the lo-mei in the county.

"If you don't say it, who would have thought that making a lo-mei would be so troublesome? Not to mention some ingredients, I have to use several pots and pans, upside down, my brain is confused! Lin said with a smile.

"It's not so troublesome, how can it taste good?" Xie Xuan said with a smile.

Just as he was gossiping, he saw the courtyard door open, and Xie Pingtian came in with a small-footed Guo matchmaker.

When Xie Wang heard the voice, he went out to greet him a few steps, and Mrs. Guo was about to speak with a smile on her face, but she heard Xie Wang's face tense and asked:

"Guo Baoshan, tell me, what do you mean by showing me the Xie family, that second sister Zhao? Don't you look down on my Xie family? What happened to the third son of the Shen family? ”
