Chapter 13 Stir-fried mud snails
The husband died a few years after the widow Xu got married, and she led a daughter to live with her mother-in-law, and she was usually broken.
The Han family has always hated this messenger, if they didn't spread the word, the marriage between Han Meili and Shen Shu would have been completed a long time ago, why would they have to make such a fuss like now?
Han Meili can be regarded as having found the culprit today and ruined her life's events, and now she doesn't care about anything, she wants to strangle the widow Xu!
Shen Shiliu didn't see it well, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull people, although the widow Xu lacked virtue, but she couldn't really let Han Meili kill someone and get into a lawsuit.
"Aunt Zhao, go to Han's house and call someone!" Shen Shiliu shouted to the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family next to her, but the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family didn't care about taking the bucket, so she hurriedly went.
Shen Shiliu pulled the frame here and persuaded Han Meili: "Sister Beauty, stop fighting!" ”
Han Meili was crying while fighting, her eyes were frighteningly red, Shen Shiliu felt that she was also a strong person, but she couldn't hold down Han Meili at this time.
The widow Xu was grabbed by Han Meili by the collar, and she couldn't run, and she had nowhere to hide, so she could only call for help.
"Murder! Help me! As soon as the widow Xu shouted like this, all those who happened to come to fetch water and those who didn't go far came here, and finally helped Shen Shimei stabilize Han Meili first.
The widow Xu was beaten very lightly, her nose was bleeding, there were bloody holes scratched out of her nails on her face, and her hair was so torn that she couldn't see it.
"Oh my God, everyone, come and judge, you're going to beat people to death, look at our orphans and widows, we are bullying people like this!" As soon as the widow and woman saw that there was a person, she sat on the ground and cried and grabbed the ground.
Shen Shiliu glanced at the widow Xu, and her heart was itching with hatred, although the words like the sow worm were said by the Han family, but the people said it behind closed doors in their own homes, this widow Xu had to listen to the roots of the walls of others, and spread the words, it was really afraid that the world would not be chaotic. If it weren't for this, it is estimated that the original owner of Shen Pomegranate would not have hanged himself!
Shen Shimei's face was dark, and he pointed at the widow Xu and said, "Shut up, I heard that the roots of the wall are still spreading, otherwise Han Meimei's marriage won't be blown, and she won't force people to hang herself!" ”
Han Meili sat on the ground crying, unable to say a word, her mother said a word unintentionally, and now it has come to this point, all of which are caused by the stinky woman of Widow Xu!
Shen Shiliu also felt a pity, although the Han family had no intention of saying such things, but Han Meili had no future even if Shen Shu had no future in this life, when she thought of this, she also wanted to beat the widow Xu. If your husband is dead, won't you be able to see other people's homes?
The onlookers understood this time, and began to scold the widow and woman Xu for not doing anything, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, who went to call people, also got the person back at this time, and the Han family and the Xu family both came, and after the Qian family understood what was going on, they also went up to scratch the widow Xu, but they were stopped by everyone.
Xu widow's mother-in-law was widowed when she was young, but she didn't expect her son to be short-lived, and now her granddaughter is still young, so Xu widow and woman can take care of the family, although she knows that her daughter-in-law is wrong, she can only compensate for her daughter-in-law.
"The eldest sister of the Han family, don't fight, it's our fault, for the sake of our family being widows, let's spare her this time!" Old Aunt Xu's face was full of tears.
The Qian family also cried, the good Shen Shu didn't get married, so he could only talk about other family affairs. Although the son of the old Hu family in the neighboring village is also good, he always feels worse than Shen Shubi, and his daughter has been criticized for so long because of that matter, and it is good to finally find such a son-in-law, but after all, it is not as good as the Shen family in the village, which makes her feel relieved.
Shen Shiliu glanced at Aunt Xu and sighed, no one in the family understands that it is not good to be in charge.
After picking two buckets of water, Shen Pomegranate left first, although the original owner was also a victim of Xu's widow, but if there was no such thing, she might not be able to be reborn, and she couldn't tell a word about right and wrong, so it was better not to think about it, and to live a life.
After returning home, Shen Shiliu took a breath, and then began to pick up these ingredients.
When I fished for fish and shrimp today, I also wiped some small mud snails on the river, and she was also careful, for fear of stepping on the empty ditch and falling into the deep ditch, but if this plate of mud snails is cleaned up, it can also make a good taste.
The shrimp is simmered with salt and pepper for later use, and then the mushrooms are picked up, the roots are directly pinched off, and the folds under the umbrella are also scrubbed clean, otherwise there will be grit and teeth when eaten.
At noon, Shen's father and Zheng's family came back, and after a casual lunch, Shen's father went out to call someone, and soon several people came to the house.
The father of the three guns is here, and he also brought his brother-in-law Zhao Defu. Hong Dadi, the younger brother of the village head, Hong Datian, as well as Liu Zheng, plus Shen's father, if they are fast, this well can be dug out before dark.
Shen pomegranate hurriedly served tea and soaked it in mint leaves, which was the most refreshing and relieving heat after drinking it in summer.
"Uncle Shen's tea is delicious!" Liu Zheng smiled and drank another glass.
Father Shen smiled, and then took someone to dig a well first.
Shen Shimei also has to hurry up here, there are many things today, she has to stew the sheep's head first, otherwise she won't be able to take off her hands to cook that dinner at night.
Zheng and his daughter were busy on the stove, Shen Shimei went to the big pot in the kitchen to steam the rice first, and Zheng also calculated the blood today and took out a pound of rice. The price of rice is not cheaper than the price of meat, and on weekdays, they drink porridge with rice wrapped in millet, or directly drink corn paste, so that they can eat white rice directly It is estimated that only the New Year has this treatment. At this time, a large pot of rice is steamed, and it looks like a hospitality.
The few people digging the well in the yard dug the ground, all of them were good labor, and they dug very deep in two hours, and Shen's father piled the excavated soil next to it first, and then chiseled it little by little with a pickaxe. The soil is getting wetter and wetter, and you can see the water.
"There you have it!" The father of the three guns shouted, and quickly asked people to pull him online, the water rose quickly, and not long after he came up, the water in the well was in shape.
Wipe the sweat for people, and the rest is Shen's father's work, whether to build a platform or whatever, they don't care.
As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that the well had been dug, he hurriedly told Zheng: "Mother, go and tell them to bring the people from the family too!" ”
"Gotcha!" Zheng smiled and went, and talked to a few people in the courtyard, but a few people were quite embarrassed.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, my pomegranate craftsmanship is good, you hurry up!" Zheng asked people to call people, but Sanpao's father was happy, so he hurriedly called Sanpao's mother and the children at home.
Shen Shimei took out the rice in the cauldron first, and a large pot of rice was full to eat. Then brush the pot, add oil, and start to show your skills.
Shen Pomegranate is also familiar with cooking, she makes a large portion, can be divided into two tables, the man is estimated to have to drink, and has to leave a table for women and children, clean.
The mother of the three guns arrived first, and the two daughters of the family and the three guns also brought them, and they were a little embarrassed to come.
"Auntie, you sit first, I make too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, the two sisters of the three guns are not much older, looking at the eleven or twelve-year-old children, Shen Shiliu brought out a plate of sugar and salt peanuts from the kitchen for the children to eat as snacks first.
Sanpao Niang smiled, and came over to help Shen Shimei make a move, and brought a plate and brushed a pot.
"You can eat this thing?" Sanpao Niang saw that Shen Pomegranate had made a large pot of mud snails, and asked in surprise.
"Well, this thing is delicious, you'll know in a moment!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, and then asked Sanpao Niang to rest for a while, and she was done with the mud snail after she finally finished frying it.
The mud snail vomited mud in the basin for an afternoon, and she sprinkled the "noodle starter" and changed the water twice, so that the smell of the earth could be much smaller.
Pour oil into the pot, and then throw all the prepared dried chili peppers and star anise tangerine peel into the oil pot. It is expected to be fried well, and when it is fried and wants to be spicy, use the fence to take out the mud snails in the pot and throw them into the pot.
With a "bang", the water and oil in the oil pot were boiling, and Shen Pomegranate stirred the mud snails evenly, put salt, and saw that the fire was almost over, so he fished out the mud snails.
The mud snails are shiny and shiny, and they also release fragrance, and at the outer end, when the three guns look at it, their eyes are about to fall to the ground.
"Oh my goodness, this thing looks really good!" Sanpao Niang said.
Shen Shiliu smiled, and used the bamboo pole at home to batch some toothpicks, although they were not fine enough, but it was enough to eat a mud snail, and put the toothpicks on the table for the children to eat first.
"That's not possible, forget about peanuts, this thing can only be moved after a while!" Sanpao Niang said, and then let a few children drink herbal tea to save their gluttony.
Shen Shimei didn't say anything, went back to brush the pot and clean up the stove, and the Zheng family set the table there, and people came in a while.
Before the people came, the people in the courtyard chatted about the family routine first, and there was news quickly, and they had already told the matter of the widow and the woman Xu, and the Zheng family was angry, but Shen Shimei didn't care anymore, if they went to find it again, it would be to sprinkle salt on the wound of the girl, so the Shen family was still very calm about this matter on the surface, but they had their own plans in their hearts.
Shen Shu also came back at this time, and when he saw that there were so many people in the yard, he also came to help, and there was a well at home, so Shen Shu first found an old desktop and covered the well first, so as not to fall down when the child ran crazy.
The Hongdadi family also came, and as soon as the people came, Shen Shiliu announced that the meal was open, and the last pot of soup was also served.
"Oh, our pomegranate niece is really not simple, this table is all pomegranates?" Hong Dadi said, the food for so many people is not so easy to get.
When Zheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, now that our pomegranate is in charge, I am a pawn!" Zheng didn't want to miss any opportunity to boast about his daughter in front of others.
Everyone felt that this Shen Pomegranate was powerful, although he was a little fatter, but he was really capable.
When a person is beautiful, it may be the beauty of the appearance and figure, but when a person is really beautiful, it will make people ignore the bad appearance and not slim figure, and only think that the person is good.
Now everyone looks at Shen Pomegranate, that's it.
When everyone threw off their cheeks and ate white rice, Liu Zheng suddenly said: "By the way, haven't we said that our pomegranate has not said about my mother-in-law?!" ”
Everyone was quiet all of a sudden, and their eyes all looked at Liu Zheng, who was eating with a bowl.
Everyone pondered, Liu Zheng really didn't open which pot to mention, which pot to mention!
