Chapter 39 Braised pork ribs and stewed potatoes
Li Caicai took Xiaobai's hand and looked at Sun Rui, who was standing at the door of the yamen, staring at her with a strange look.
This slightly flattering expression, something is wrong, something is very wrong.
Sun Rui beckoned to them, "Vegetable girl, let's ...... It's a friend, I'm entangled in this case right now and can't leave, you guys, help me do something again. ”
Li Caicai raised her head: "If the adults have something to say, they still have to close the distance like this, what?" It's not like we're going to do something dead, is it? ”
After speaking, Li Caicai clasped her hands in front of her chest, "Are we two still children?!" ”
Sun Rui: "......" is a child again at this time, why didn't I think of this when I just hit someone.
"Baili, you go and tell them."
Bailiyang, who was dressed in white, walked over, and looked at Baili, who was handsome, clean and chivalrous, and the corners of Li Caicai's mouth couldn't help but rise, a good-looking person is pleasing to the eye.
"Brother Baili, what is the matter?"
Sun Rui: "......" This girl's attitude is too obvious, these two faces have changed too quickly, isn't he just a little older than Bailiyang, I think when he was young, there were several streets in Bailiyang.
(Li Caicai: Don't blow it!) )
Bailiyang: "I interrogated Old Man Tian just now, he said that he was drunk that day, and he didn't remember anything, and the adults thought that your village was close to Tianjia Village, and after you went back, quietly went to Tianjia Village to see if there would be any movement after Old Man Tian was arrested." If it were our people in the past, it would inevitably lead to suspicion. ”
Li Caicai thought for a moment, "No problem, do you have a salary?" ”
"Wages?"
"Of course, we are doing things for the official family, so we can't pay some ......" Li Caicai looked at Sun Rui and rubbed her thumb and index finger.
Sun Rui: "...... Yes. "Money fan, this kid is too money obsessed.
Where did Li Caicai know that Sun Rui had so much drama in his heart, and when he heard that he had money to take, he immediately nodded, "Don't worry, it's on us." ”
Looking at the backs of the two children, Bailiyang held the sword in his arms and said with a little worry: "My lord, will there be any danger if the two of them go?" ”
Sun Rui pursed his lips, "I think there will be an unexpected gain." ”
……
In Lijia Village, Li Caicai took Xiaobai's hand and hummed "I'm walking alone on the country road~" all the way home.
"Wait."
After looking at the surroundings and seeing that there was no one around, Li Caicai took out the pork, pork ribs, pig's trotters, beaten oil, and pastries from Mrs. Sun from the space.
"Good boy, where did you two get all this stuff back?"
Chen Guihua just finished drying the laundry, came out of the backyard, saw that the two children's left and right hands were full, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the things.
"Mother, we helped Lord Sun catch a bad guy today, and Lord Sun rewarded us with a lot of silver."
Li Sanwang couldn't tell them what happened, let alone let Chen Guihua and Xu know that they had gone to make a big fuss, so after thinking about it, it was most appropriate to move Master Sun out.
Hearing Li Caicai's words, Chen Guihua was stunned for a moment, "Master Sun? ”
Remembering that Li Caicai said last night, he helped Master Sun catch a person who did bad things and harmed the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the restaurant, plus Xiaobai's skills are really powerful, but he didn't have too many doubts, and only instructed: "You two have the ability to help us Yong'an do some good things, my mother is happy for you, but you are still children, you still have to pay attention to safety, don't be reckless, you must run when you encounter danger, as for the reward, Lord Sun is a good official, often helps the people, and he has to support his family, in the future, you need less of his silver." ”
"I know, mother, Master Sun said, this is the silver rewarded above, helping the court with things, not his own money."
Chen Guihua: "That's right, that's okay, then you really have to let him appreciate more." ”
Li Caicai: "......" mother, your double standard is very cute.
After giving the dim sum to my father and second uncle to taste, Li Caicai saw that Xu's chopping wood had not come back, so she asked Xiaobai to go to the back mountain to find Xu's, and she cooked first.
"Mother~ You help me light the fire."
The special fireman Xiaobai went to carry firewood, and Li Caicai was coquettish to her mother while thinking about tonight's recipe.
In the past two days, I have done a lot of work, and I have collected a lot of money from various places, and the food at home can also begin to improve.
Chen Guihua brought some chopped dry firewood from the backyard, and went to pull out some dry straw, and when she came back to make a fire, Li Caicai had already selected and cut all the vegetables.
"You girl, you really have big hands, and you can't keep some good things."
Accustomed to being poor, Chen Guihua saw that Li Caicai was cut into meat slices again, and the ribs were washed, and he was reluctant to eat like this during the Chinese New Year.
"Mother, we have some money now, in the future, you and Grandma don't just drink white water porridge that doesn't even have rice, Dad and Second Uncle are not in good health, so they have to make up for it."
The action of burning the fire in her hand did not stop, and Chen Guihua smiled: "The girl feels sorry for her mother, and her mother knows, but ah, it is easy to spend money and difficult to make money, so you still have to save it." ”
Now that the Li family has no strong people, let alone a stable source of income, Chen Guihua's worries, Li Caicai understands.
"Don't worry, mother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, wait for me to think of a way in a few days, let's do a job to make money together."
Chen Guihua comforted herself as a daughter, and laughed and didn't take it to heart, but Li Caicai's heart was looking for what to do with Chen Guihua and Xu.
"What's the fuss, girl? The water is boiling. ”
Li Caicai reacted, and quickly put the washed pork ribs into the pot, braised pork ribs and stewed potatoes, the temperature is low at night in this season, and it is too suitable to eat this hot next meal.
While the blood foam was boiling out over the high heat, Li Caicai took the opportunity to cut some green onions and ginger and put them in, and cut the peeled potato hob into small pieces for later use.
This potato was when she and Xiaobai first entered the village, and they happened to meet the village chief's daughter-in-law who came back from the field, and she stepped forward to say hello, and was forced into two potatoes.
After blanching the water, pour oil into the pot, add some sugar and stir-fry, then add the pork ribs and stir-fry quickly.
The pork ribs were stained with sugar, looking brown and delicious, and a meaty fragrance permeated the air, and Chen Guihua couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"Good girl, you girl is really good at craft!"
After stir-frying evenly, add the potato wedges, put the seasoning and fry for a while, add some water to the plum cabbage, cover the pot and start simmering.
"Mother, do you have chili peppers at home?"
Thinking that two dishes were still a bit less, Li Caicai took a turn in the kitchen.
"Your Aunt Ping's family has it, I'll borrow some and come back, where did you put that dim, I'll bring some for her daughter."
"It's all in the hall."
By the time Chen Guihua took a handful of freshly picked green chilies, the boiled pork slices of Li Caicai were all out of the pot, and the braised pork ribs and stewed potatoes had already been served.
"Aunt Ping's house is not far away, why have you been there for so long?"
