Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Treat
Shu Nuan listened to Shu Hao muttering beside him for a while before slowly expressing his intention.
"Brother Mouse, I'm going to buy vegetables now. You're going to have dinner with me later, huh? ”
"Huh?" Shu Hao paused and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll go early."
"That's it. I'll go grocery shopping first, and you keep busy. ”
After Shu Nuan said this, he waved his hands and gradually walked away.
In the following time, she can be said to have plunged headlong into the vegetable market.
"I grow the vegetables myself, so I don't have to buy them. It's better to go buy some meat and go back, if you have three people, ......"
While Shu Nuan was whispering to plan tonight's dishes, Li Juanjuan sat in the room for a while, and finally couldn't help but raise her hand and yawn, lazily lying on the chair and closing her eyes.
Originally, Shu Nuan asked Li Juanjuan to go directly to the bed to rest, but Li Juanjuan felt that her gray appearance was not good for sleeping directly in someone else's bed. Now it's just a rest, and you don't need to sleep, so there's no need to go to bed.
When Shu Nuan came back from buying the items she needed and gently opened the door, she saw Li Juanjuan, who was already asleep on the chair.
"Why are you asleep here?"
Shu Nuan frowned slightly and sighed softly.
Now that she falls asleep in a chair in this weather, she won't catch a cold, so she won't go into the house to cover the other party with a quilt.
In order not to disturb the resting people, she quietly turned away again as if she had entered the house, and closed the door with her hand.
"Squeak......
The old wooden door made a soft noise, and the person asleep in the chair seemed to move his fingers on the armrest of the chair, but soon fell into a deeper sleep.
Shu Nuan, who was outside the house, carried his own vegetable basket and entered the kitchen.
After a few moments, she had an extra kitchen knife in her hand and walked out of the door to the corner where the vegetables were grown.
While Shu Nuan was busy preparing tonight's food, Shu Hao also closed the stall early and rushed here with the fruits he bought.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm here."
Shu Hao's loud voice came from outside the courtyard, making Shu Nuan, who was bending over to wash vegetables, subconsciously look behind him.
Shu Hao was at the door now, and he saw Shu Nuan at a glance.
"Look, I brought you a big watermelon."
Now this season, watermelons are already on the market. However, because it has just been listed, the price is naturally a bit expensive.
"Come on, come on, what watermelon to buy?" Shu Nuan sighed lightly, and while standing up, he wiped the water stains on his hands on his black apron, and greeted with pleasure on his face: "Brother Mouse, come and sit down for a while." ”
She had already steamed the rice on the stove before, and now she was about to stir-fry.
Shu Haole walked up to her and put the watermelon next to the well.
"I'm going to get a basin to chill the melon."
"Okay."
Shu Nuan bowed his head and let the other party go into the kitchen to get a basin.
Shu Hao has also been here several times, so he can naturally find out where the kitchen is.
After he got the basin, he fetched cold water from the well to ice the watermelon, and then bent down and squatted next to him to help wash the vegetables.
"I'll help you light the fire later."
"Okay."
Answered with a smile in Shu Nuan.
At this time, a sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the two, and Qi Qi turned his head to look behind him.
I saw Li Juanjuan leaning on the door frame, looking up at the two of them.
"Sister Juanjuan, wake up."
"Well, wake up." Li Juanjuan responded, then turned her gaze to Shu Hao, and greeted with a smile: "Mouse, it's here." ”
Shu Hao bowed slightly: "Well, I just came over for a while." ”
The two briefly talked for a few words, and then turned their attention to Shu Nuan again.
At this time, Shu Nuan was carrying the washed dishes and preparing to enter the kitchen.
The three of them entered the kitchen one after another, and suddenly the kitchen, which seemed to be quite spacious, became crowded.
Shu Hao was about to sit down in front of the stove, but was persuaded by Li Juanjuan's words: "Mouse, you better go out and rest." It's just me and Nuan Nuan here......"
"I burn the fire ......"
Shu Hao pointed to the stove and said.
Shu Nuan was originally going to ask the other party to help light the fire, but with Li Juanjuan's help, it was unnecessary.
And she also wanted to talk to Li Juanjuan about whispering between women, so naturally it was not good for Shu Hao to stay, so she also persuaded her: "Brother Mouse, you go out to rest for a while, we will be fine here soon." ”
Shu Hao glanced at her, hesitated slightly, and turned around and left the kitchen.
However, when he was about to step out of the kitchen door, he did not forget to remind: "I am in the yard, if there is anything, remember to call me." ”
"Okay."
Shu Nuan nodded and watched the other party leave.
As soon as there were only two women left in the kitchen, the atmosphere immediately came alive.
There are generally more topics between women, and a little thing can be talked about for half a day.
First, Li Juanjuan talked about what happened in the village recently, and then Shu Nuan talked about what she encountered here.
The two chatted and did not forget to do what they were doing.
In order to entertain the other party today, Shu Nuan not only stewed chicken soup with ginkgo seeds for the hen brought by Li Juanjuan, but also specially bought pork ribs and came back.
When stir-frying, Li Juanjuan just helped hand over a plate and peeled one or two garlic, and Shu Nuan directly took care of everything else.
"Zizi Zi ......"
The dish is stir-fried in a pot, and the aroma gradually spreads at the high temperature.
A large portion of spicy fragrant pot made of pork ribs, back to the pot meat, mapo tofu, shredded yam, plus a ginkgo stewed chicken, except for the spicy fragrant pot, she deliberately reduced the amount of the rest of the dishes, just worried that the weather would be too hot and would be bad tomorrow.
Li Juanjuan sat in front of the stove burning firewood, watching the dishes with a rich fragrance come out of the pot, and suddenly felt hungry.
"Nuan Nuan, your cooking skills are just right, if anyone marries you, they will really be happy."
Shu Nuan listened to the other party's praise and smiled faintly.
She hasn't thought about this yet, on the one hand, with her current age, she is not in a hurry, and on the other hand, because she feels that she is in a hurry to get married, it is better to make a career by herself first.
After seeing more women who were forced to give up themselves and become resentful women because of family reasons, she now has no idea of getting married at all.
Li Juanjuan didn't care when she saw that she was silent, and her eyes were still firmly focused on the few dishes that had been prepared next to her.
"Sister Juanjuan, can you go and help me take a look at the stewed chicken? I'll be fine here soon, and I'll be ready to eat right away. ”
Shu Nuan said as she stir-fried the vegetables with the spatula in her hand.
It is said that chefs only use spoons to stir-fry, and its practical spoons are mainly for the convenience of turning the spoon, and it is more convenient to put seasonings and put them on the plate.
But she was in her own home, and she couldn't shake the big iron pot, and she didn't have a suitable big iron spoon to use.
