Chapter 82: The Burning Stove

Chu Xia was carried by Liu Xiwang and Li Shishi to the new house, and when he passed by the door of Li's house, Li Xiaocui walked out of the courtyard.

Liu Xiwang and Li Shishi wanted to walk around quickly, but they didn't expect Li Xiaocui to pull the door panel instead.

Seeing Chu Xia sitting on the door panel, still holding a big iron pot in his arms, Li Xiaocui's eyes turned red before he could speak, and he bit his lower lip and muttered, "Brother Xia, I, I, I...... I'm going to get married the day after tomorrow......"

Chu Xia smiled bitterly and said, "What do you want to do when you hold me?" Want me to bless you? Well, I wish you a hundred years of happiness, many children, many blessings and many longevity, me, can I go now? ”

"I, I, I ......" Li Xiaocui "I" didn't come out for a long time, but I didn't expect Chu Xia and Chu Xiangling, brother and sister, to say the same thing, fortunately, her Xia Ge'er's tone was not as gritted as Xiangling.

Li Shishi sighed deeply and said, "Xiaocui, why are you so troubled? Since you choose to become the daughter-in-law of the Song family, you have to forget everything in Chujia Village, if you come to Brother Xia like this, let the Song family see it, you will misunderstand that you don't abide by women's morals. ”

Li Xiaocui hurriedly loosened her hand gripping the door panel, and said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't, I just think Brother Xia's leg is a pity......"

Liu Xiwang really couldn't stand Li Xiaocui's crying appearance, and said with a good face: "Li Xiaocui, if you have a little conscience, you will not abandon Brother Xia and marry Song Gan; But Brother Xia didn't pursue you, and I can't say anything. From now on, if you dare to pester Brother Xia again, I will tell the whole village the truth, and what will the villagers think of you at that time? What does the Song family think of you!? ”

"What truth?" The second monk Li Shizhang was puzzled, and his brain flashed and thundered and remembered the day Chu Xia's leg was broken, he had seen Li Xiaocui running down the mountain in a hurry, and looked at Li Xiaocui in surprise and said, "Could it be that Brother Xia fell down the hill because of you?" Then why didn't you ask the villagers to help you run away? In case the beast goes, will Xia Ge'er still be alive? “

Li Xiaocui let go of her hand and muttered: "Don't blame me, I, I was too scared, I told my mother, my mother didn't let me say, and later forced me to marry Song Qian, I was forced......"

Li Shishi looked at Li Xiaocui's eyes, and there was no longer the love of the past, but infinite contempt.

Li Shishi and Liu Xiwang lifted the door panel and left, Chu Xia closed his eyes miserably, feeling that his heart hurt very much.

...

The new house is very lively.

Mrs. Chu's grandson sent more than a dozen fish, saying that Xiangling ordered them.

After a while, Chu Zhangshi took a basket of eggplant, potatoes, and beans, and said that Xiangling ordered them.

After another while, Wu Laoer, who killed the sheep yesterday in the East Village, sent a large sheep backbone, and said that it was ordered by Xiangling.

Mrs. Wu sent a basket of eggs......

He smiled and said to Jiang: "Xiangling is not like a vole that transports food to ...... home."

Jiang knew that it was a pity that Xiangling couldn't be a daughter-in-law again, so he hurriedly interrupted He's words, and said with a humble face: "This child is really, it's just a matter of letting people send back fish, eggs and vegetables, and what about sending a lamb backbone without any meat?" Xia Ge'er has tiger bones and pig bones......."

He Shi rolled his eyes and said: "I think you are just showing Xiangling's ability with the two of us, with Xiangling's craftsmanship, why is it not delicious?" Because of Xiangling, He Hua didn't scold me less, saying that I was biased, looking at Xiangling like a flower, looking at her like a dog's pee......"

Jiang was amused by He's and said with a smile: "They all say that He Hua is not happy with you, people always boast about their daughters, you are good, you have to degrade two sentences if you say three sentences, if you continue like this, after He Hua gets married, she will never dare to come back to see you......."

"Then I'll let her marry in our Chujia Village, so that this dead girl can't escape the palm of her mother for the rest of her life......." He Shi's words came to his mouth, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Li Shishi, who was busy, and sighed again, thinking that if He Hua'er and Li Shishi became successful, it would also be a good thing, but it was a pity......

He felt that his parents were not going well.

.

Because the stove was to be burned in the afternoon, there was a serious shortage of tables, stools, bowls, and chopsticks in the new house.

It's already past noon, Xiangling hasn't come back yet, and she is so anxious that Jiang is like an ant on the stove, and she doesn't know how Xiangling does these ingredients that she has sent.

In a hurry, Xiangling finally came back in a donkey cart with strong feet, and brought down seven strange-shaped pots from the cart, in addition, a basket of pheasants, a large strip of pork, and seven or eight pig bones.

It turned out that Xiangling went to the blacksmith shop to get the pot, and saw a few hunters along the way and bought six pheasants.

Except for agricultural tools such as iron ploughshares, everything else, including daggers, bows and arrows, was ready.

These pots can just come in handy today.

After Xiangling finished moving the last pot, she saw that Qin Ke'er had also come to the new house, carrying a small basket on her arm, which contained half a basket of hay and mushrooms.

Xiangling took the initiative to greet her: "Sister Ke'er, I heard Grandma Wu say that you have dried mushrooms at home, ask her to order some for me, I didn't expect you to stock up so much, don't go, help me do it, it's all dirty work, are you willing?" ”

Qin Ke'er pursed her lower lip, blushed, and said in a low voice, "I am willing." ”

Although Qin Keer is introverted, she is not stupid, she knows that Xiangling clearly asked her to help, but in fact, she created an opportunity for her to get in touch with He, saying that it was to give her dirty work and tiring work, but in fact, it was to let her make a good impression on He, and slowly admit her as a daughter-in-law.

Xiangling smiled and shouted at He Fang, who was stunned in the courtyard: "Brother He Fang, things are weird, come and help!" ”

He Fang finally recovered from the shock of seeing Qin Ke'er, and hurriedly came over to help, not embarrassed to take the basket in Qin Ke'er's hand, but helped Xiangling move the pot, Xiangling rolled his eyes angrily, and hurriedly glanced at him, and he took the basket in Qin Ke'er's hand with arrogance.

Xiangling handed the pheasant and fish to Qin Ke'er.

Qin Keer is introverted, and she is not scared at all in the work in her hands, she plucks the chicken feathers, scrapes the scales of the fish, chops the chicken pieces with a kitchen knife, slices the fish, and works very neatly.

The He family, who was peeking on the side, had a slight change in her attitude towards Qin Keer, she always thought that Qin Keer was a girl who cried at every turn, but she didn't expect that she was quite cool to work, but she was angry with her.

He Hua'er took a lighter job and helped watch the fire.

Seeing that Xiangling had packed up all the chickens and fish, Jiang hurriedly pulled Xiangling aside and said, "Xiangling, although I have notified many villagers, our family has just split up, and we haven't had many favors, so we only come to three tables of guests when we touch it, so we don't need so many things, right?" ”

Xiangling smiled: "Mother, I specially prepared more." Uncle Guizi and Uncle Xiang helped our family move, and no one took care of the children and the elderly at home. ”

Jiang said with a guilty face: "Fortunately, Xiangling is thoughtful, my mother seems to be cautious." ”

The Jiang family no longer stopped and let Xiangling toss.

Xiangling quickly put the nest head on the steamer, two layers of curtains, and one steaming can steam out two pots of miscellaneous grains.

Put the second pot on the shelf, put the seasoning in, put the cleaned chicken heart, chicken gizzards, chicken liver, and chicken feet into the pot one by one, and put it in the last stove to simmer the lo-mei.

Take out the tiger bones and tiger meat in the cellar, and use the tiger bones in the big pot in the house to boil ginseng soup for Chu Xia.

The tiger meat was simmered with seasonings, and Xiaoshan was asked to find some bamboo slices, cut them into thin bamboo skewers and wear them, and put them on the last two stoves, one to roast tiger meat and the other to roast lamb backbone.

Then put on a pot, stewed beans with big pork bones.

Count the dishes:

Chicken stewed with mushrooms counts as one;

Chicken wings, chicken shanks, chicken offal, chicken feet and other lo-mei are counted as one;

Pork bones stewed beans are counted as one;

Roast tiger meat counts as a dish;

Roast lamb backbone counts as one;

a dish of fish balls and cabbage soup;

three fresh grounds;

The last dish is ready-made, fried daylily with meat.

There are eight dishes, each of which has meat and fish, and it is full of oil and water, which can definitely be regarded as the first-class banquet of Chujia Village.
