Chapter 12 An old turtle was replaced

Seeing her brother's appearance, Chrysanthemum knew that he was afraid that he would be ridiculed, so she pursed her lips and smiled at him, and replied softly: "My mother has not come back from Qingbei Village." I'm just taking advantage of the food to deliver you, and you can still be lazy! ”

As he spoke, he opened the casserole, which was rice cooked with crushed corn mixed with rice, and a layer of vegetables was spread on top of the rice, including green spinach and chrysanthemum, as well as fried small brown dried fish, lined with green shallots, which was particularly fragrant and attractive; The soup is an egg soup with green leaves and yellow shrimp in it, and it's steaming!

Zhao San leaned over and took a look, couldn't help but reach out and pick out a small fish and put it in his mouth, chewed it three or two times and swallowed it, and said to the chrysanthemum: "I said chrysanthemum, what did you put in it, why does it smell so fragrant?" Yesterday, your aunt came back and made the kang pot according to your method, but our stone said that it was not as delicious as Sister Chrysanthemum, it was too thick and not crispy! Look at your cooking skills, others can't learn it if they want to! ”

Chrysanthemum said softly: "The kang pot has to scrape the rice in the pot clean, you can't use high heat, you have to use low heat to slowly kang it, and you have to turn it over in the middle." This dried fish has some vinegar in it, which is a little sour and spicy, and it can be appetizing! ”

This kang pot is a fine job, the most particular is the heat, the stone lady washes and cleans all day long, and has to do the work in the field, it must be anxious, where can I make a good pot?

The food made by my sister is delicious! Over there, Aoki was eating the food in a big gulp, and took a few sips of soup for a while, watching his sister tell Zhao San how this dish was made, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Zhao San's unwillingness, he thought, how can it be so easy to learn, my mother has been cooking for so many years, and it is not as good as the craftsmanship that chrysanthemum has only been doing for a few years!

It may be the fragrance of the food, or it may be out of curiosity about the ugly chrysanthemum, and after a while, several people gathered around Aoki and Zhao San.

"Ouch! Aoki, what are you eating? Why is it so fragrant? A wide-mouthed young man leaned over and asked, glancing at Chrysanthemum curiously, but not staring at it.

Aoki moved the bowl away a bit, glanced at him, and didn't squeak!

Another black young man said mockingly: "Zhao Dazui, what are you doing so close?" Saliva is splashed into the Aoki bowl! ”

Zhao Da pouted his mouth and smiled: "I don't smell strange fragrance, I want to see what he eats!" Aoki, get a little fish and taste it, I look like it's delicious! ”

Aoki didn't want to pay attention to him, but after thinking about it, it would be good for them to know how capable his sister was. So, he picked up a small fish and sent it to Zhao Dazui. Zhao Dazui immediately opened his big mouth when he saw it, and Aoki threw the small fish into it.

"Ouch, delicious! This one is fragrant, spicy, and a little sour, and I really want to eat another bowl of rice! ”

Zhao swallowed the small fish into his stomach with a few chews, smacked his lips and exclaimed, looking a little unsatisfied, and his eyes still glanced at the green wood bowl.

There was an example of Zhao Dazui in front, and other people also begged for a small fish to eat.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Aoki hurriedly pulled down the rice chop in three or two bites, and drank the soup again, choking until he was full of burps!

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but smile when she saw him.

Aoki was embarrassed to see his sister laughing at herself; Seeing that she was surrounded by so many people, she was not uncomfortable, and she was secretly happy!

The black young man smacked his lips, savored the taste of dried fish, and asked, "Is this the little dried fish!" Why is it so sour and spicy, and it is very fragrant! He looked at the chrysanthemum curiously, with an inquiring look in his eyes, but no disgust or contempt.

Chrysanthemum didn't shy away from looking at him, long and thin, with a narrow face and a high nose, and bright eyes. But there is no information about this person in my memory. Alas! The original chrysanthemum has too little contact with people, and even if she sees a person, she doesn't dare to look up.

Zhao San took over the conversation and said: "But isn't it, I wonder, it's obviously a very ordinary thing, let the chrysanthemum clean up, the taste will be different immediately." According to the method taught by Chrysanthemum, my family just can't make that taste, and even my stone says that it is not as delicious as Sister Chrysanthemum! ”

The thin black young man listened and said to Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, then you have to bring more vegetables tomorrow, and I will eat with your brother then." ”

Chrysanthemum looked at him and asked softly, "Why?" You're not working for my family! But she thought to herself, I don't know you who you are!

The thin black young man was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chrysanthemum to answer like this. The people around burst into laughter. For a while, his black face was red, and he only looked at the chrysanthemum and smirked!

Zhao Dazui hurriedly said: "Chrysanthemum, ignore him." Li Changxing is the thickest-skinned. I caught an old turtle yesterday, and I haven't burned it yet! I've got you. You can bring more vegetables to divide me tomorrow. ”

When Chrysanthemum heard this, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she came to the spirit! Old turtle? That's a big thing, and I have to make up for my small body.

She hurriedly asked, "Really, where to stay?" ”

Zhao Dazui saw that she was interested in the old turtle, and hurriedly said, "Leave it at home." I'll go get it. You're waiting! After saying that, he got up and ran.

That Li Changxing saw Zhao Dazui exchanging the old turtle for tomorrow's food, and said to Chrysanthemum with a smile: "Chrysanthemum, we are from a village, you can't be stingy!" Tomorrow bring me some more vegetables, and I'll go back and touch some yellow eels to give you - yellow eels are also delicious. ”

Of course the yellow eel is delicious! Chrysanthemum thought to herself, these people are all fools, I don't know if these things are good?

But in her previous life, her mother didn't seem to eat these messy things, and she classified them as weird things, saying that she used to catch them only when she had nothing to eat. It is true that rural people do not regard them as good things.

Later, the economy developed, and the people in the city regarded these as the best dishes, and the people in the countryside desperately caught these and sold them in the city for money, so that the frogs and yellow eels in the fields were extinct, and the turtles and turtles in the ponds were nowhere to be seenβ€”all that was sold in the market was farmed!

Now, when she heard Li Changxing say that she wanted to catch yellow eels and send them to her, where would she be polite, and said softly: "Well, I like to eat yellow eels." You catch some yellow eels and send them to me, and I'll bring you more vegetables tomorrow. ”

Li Changxing smiled at the chrysanthemum and said, "Okay! When I wanted to eat meat, I often caught yellow eels to make a tooth sacrifice. But I eat it alone in my house, and my mother doesn't eat it, saying that it looks like a snake, and it's weird and afraid of people. ”

Aoki was not stunned at all when she saw Chrysanthemum talking to people, and these people didn't look at her like monsters, and she was happy and surprised at the same time - her sister has really changed a lot!

Seeing her brother looking at herself, Chrysanthemum winked at him and pursed her lips and smiled.

This small action made Aoki feel very warm, so he didn't squeak and let the chrysanthemum exchange with someone. But I thought in my heart that since my sister likes to eat these, next time I will ask my father to make a few yellow eel baskets and fish for yellow eels in the ditch; This turtle and turtle, ask the old people in the village to see how to catch the cheap.

Zhao San saw that Chrysanthemum talked about this, and even talked more, and asked in surprise: "Chrysanthemum, do you like to eat these?" Then I'll catch you another day. Last time I caught a turtle in Xiaoqing River, your aunt burned it and didn't even eat a stoneβ€”it was so tired and tasteless. In the end, it was all poured out! ”

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum almost fell to her feet and sighed - what a loser! No wonder this place is so poor, you won't eat good things.

She didn't care about being reserved, and said to Zhao San: "Then Uncle Zhao San will give me these things when he catches them in the future-I like to eat them!" ”

Zhao San readily agreed. But I thought in my heart, I was afraid that my son would hear that Sister Chrysanthemum would burn, and he would follow him to the door!

So, after a while, it was rumored on the construction site that the ugly sister of the Aoki family liked to eat yellow eel, loach, turtle and turtle. It's strange that a little girl likes to eat these things. If they knew that chrysanthemums still like to eat frogs, they would be even more shocked.

When Zhao Dazui brought over an old turtle weighing more than three catties, Chrysanthemum's eyes lit up with excitement - oh! Good fellow, it's like a little millstone.

It's time to eat tonight! I don't think I can send this thing after eating it! Is it stewed or braised in red? Well, just stew, don't put chili peppers, add some dried mushrooms, so that it is authentic.

Perhaps it was because of her heart, the green-shelled turtle looked up at her vigilantly, worried about his upcoming fate!

Chrysanthemum stared at the old turtle affectionately, causing the people around her to laugh good-naturedly. She didn't care what the others were, she put away the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the basket with the turtle, stood up and prepared to go homeβ€”she hadn't eaten lunch yet!

"Chrysanthemum, you're here! I'm looking for you! A girl in a purple and red shirt walked into the courtyard and greeted warmly with a chrysanthemum.

Suddenly, the surroundings were quiet, and everyone looked at this flower-like girl, her bright color was obviously out of tune with this construction site, and it was a strong contrast with the patched chrysanthemum!

Chrysanthemum looked at her fair cheeks and apricot-like eyes in confusion, searching hard in her mind - which one was this?

Aoki was stopped by Liu Er yesterday and didn't say anything, but today when she saw her holding her sister again, she was even more suspicious. The contrast between her flower-like face and Chrysanthemum's ugly face is especially obvious, and in front of so many people, Aoki is very unhappy, so she doesn't squeak when she stands aside.

Li Changxing was confused when he saw Chrysanthemum, and kindly introduced her: "This is Uncle Jinshan's Liu'er!" He also looked at Liu Er strangely, what was she looking for chrysanthemums? I didn't hear that the two had a relationship!

Oh! It turned out to be Liu Er, isn't it the one that Zhang Huai started to want to talk about! Chrysanthemum finally dug up some information from her memory.

She asked softly, "Sister Liu'er, what's the matter with you?" ”

Liu Er glanced at Aoki, who was standing aside, and whispered with some anxiety: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you for a trick." Sister Chrysanthemum, why don't you sit at my house for a while? ”

Tricks? What tricks can you have?

Chrysanthemum was even more confused, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Er's blushing face looking at Aoki, and immediately realized: This is the beginning of love, and she has fallen in love with her brother, and she wants to take the route of her sister!

Woohoo! Your mother wants so many bride prices, my family can't afford to marry you! Besides, she saw her brother standing aside with a straight face, obviously not thinking much about other girls.

Even though she sympathized with this girl with 120,000 points, she couldn't help it - it was really unlucky for her to have such a mother!

"Sister Liu'er, I still want to go home for dinner! I haven't done needlework for a long time, and I don't have any good tricks in my hands. "Chrysanthemum told the truth.

Liu Er felt so uncomfortable! The strange glances of the people around her made her very uncomfortable. After all, she rarely goes out, and she is about to get married, so it is really inappropriate to go to this place full of men. On the contrary, it is a chrysanthemum, she is younger, her face is flawed, and others don't care so much about her identity as a girl.

But if she doesn't find a chance to get close to Aoki, how can she marry him? She really doesn't want to marry into a big family as a concubine!
