Chapter 17: It Seems to Taste Quite Delicious
Now that it was getting dark, and I had to worry about where to sleep, the carriage was full of boxes of silver, and naturally there was no space, and because I came out in such a hurry, I forgot to bring the bedding and pillows, so I had no choice but to lie on the grass with the clothes like everyone else.
On the other side, Qian Yulan invited Xu Jingluo and Zhang with a courteous face.
"Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu, the people in Zhuangzi have gathered under the shade of the trees, the place is close to the river, and there are many trees, so it is more shady, you should also hurry up and drive the car over to make dinner together."
"Okay!"
Xu Jingluo nodded, and Xu Jingan drove a car in the direction pointed by Qian Yulan.
After Zhang got out of the car, he bowed to Qian Yulan and thanked him repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, over the years, you have bothered to take care of my family Jingluo, and those two grandchildren, your kindness, our family will definitely remember it in our hearts and repay it with thought!" ”
Qian Yulan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to be polite, Jing Luo is also a member of our Zhuangzi, and I should help take care of it." What's more, now that the country is dying, we should all unite to tide over the difficulties together. ”
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Xu Jingluo again, and advised: "Miss Xu, it's not early, I'm still cooking vegetables in the pot, so go back first, and your family should start preparing as soon as possible, otherwise it will be inconvenient to wait for dark." ”
After the words fell, he nodded to Zhang's again, turned around and left.
Seeing Qian Yulan leave, Xu Jingluo began to arrange to make dinner.
first instructed Xu Jingan and Cuiying to move more stones nearby and build a stove on the spot. Mama Cao volunteered to help wash rice and wash dishes and chopsticks, but Zhang only helped take care of Runtian and Yi Bao, just don't let them run around.
As for the heavy responsibility of stir-frying, it fell on Xu Jingluo's shoulders.
It didn't take long for Xu Jing'an to partner with Cui Ying, and soon successfully built a simple but practical stove, and put the dead branches and leaves he picked up into the stove, and rubbed the flint with a few clicks, and it burned brightly.
Mama Cao's cooking was almost cooked, and she quickly put the rice in the rice bucket with her hands and feet, brushed the pot again, and then put it on the stove.
Xu Jingluo came to the mule cart alone, picked a few lettuce and four eggs, and originally wanted to go to the space to buy some fresh pork, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the big guy, so he hesitated again and again, and finally gave up for the time being in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
She returned to the shade of a tree with a few green lettuces under her armpits, four eggs in her left hand, and a bucket of peanut oil that had been transferred from Xu Wanjun's warehouse last night in her right hand.
"Jing'an, Jingling, you peel these lettuce, and then cut them into diamond shapes, and later, my sister and I will show my skills and fry a plate of lettuce for everyone, so that you can salivate and have an endless aftertaste!"
After Xu Jingluo finished with a smile, he handed the lettuce to Xu Jingan and Xu Jingling, and put the bucket of peanut oil under the tree.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" When Xu Jingan and Xu Jingling heard this, they both smiled, one picked up a paring knife to peel and clean, and the other put the cutting board on the two stones, and slowly cut the washed lettuce into diamond-shaped slices according to the requirements of the fourth sister.
The dishes are all washed, the oil in the pot is hot, everything is ready, just wait for Xu Jingluo to stir-fry.
Xu Jingluo strode to the pot table, and under everyone's gaze, he rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, picked up the spatula with one hand, and picked up a basket full of lettuce slices with the other, quickly poured it into the pot, and skillfully stir-fried.
After the lettuce becomes slightly transparent and soft, sprinkle a few spoonfuls of salt and a little condiment, in order to avoid drying the pot, prepare a bowl of water next to it, and when it is about to dry, immediately pour in some water and simmer.
Zhang Shi took Runtian and Yi Bao aside, and when he saw that Xu Jingluo had become so diligent and much more capable than himself, he couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears flashing in his eyes.
It can be seen that in the past few years, her daughter has indeed suffered too much, in the past, she was the daughter of the general's mansion who did not touch the spring water, but now, everything needs to be done by herself, even the rough work of stir-frying!
blamed himself for being blind at the beginning, and he married a man like Xu Wanjun, who made their mother and daughter lonely and miserable.
Fortunately, she has now completely recognized Xu Wanjun's true face, and has broken off relations with him, it is not too late to make amends, as long as their family can be reunited forever in the future, it will be the happiest thing in the world!
Just thinking about it, Xu Jingluo over there had already finished frying the lettuce, and after putting it out of the pot, he cooked a big bowl of egg drop soup, and greeted everyone with a smile to come to dinner.
A fragrant dish of stir-fried lettuce with a bowl of hot white rice made everyone eat with relish.
The evening breeze blows lightly from time to time, blowing away the sweat all over the body, at this moment, it is really a great enjoyment!
At this moment, Xu Wanjun led a few people who were unkempt and hungry and walked over following the fragrance.
Because they were so hungry that they could not sleep, they bred their spirits and went out to look around for anything to eat, so that they could pad their stomachs.
Xu Jingyang, who was following Xu Wanjun, was sharp-eyed, and he saw Xu Jingluo from a distance that they were eating vegetables and drinking soup, smiling and smiling, and the atmosphere seemed to be very warm, so he immediately pointed at them, jumped to his feet and said: "Dad, look, Xu Jingluo and the others actually have something to eat!" The food seems to be quite fragrant, one by one, all laughing! ”
Xu Wanjun listened, followed his direction, and sure enough, as Xu Jingyang said, there were as many as eight people in the Zhang family and Xu Jingluo, but everyone had a bowl full of food in their hands, and on the stone on the side, there was also a big bowl of egg drop soup, and eight people sat in the shade of the tree, eating happily!
Seeing these people happily sitting together for dinner, Mrs. Pang suddenly became angry, and instructed Xu Wanjun and her grandchildren to say: "Wanjun, Jing Ting, Jing Yun, Jing Yang, let's go over and eat immediately, so that the Zhang family and her rabbit cubs will spoil all the meals!" ”
As soon as the words fell, she took the lead and rushed in the direction where Xu Jingluo and the others were.
"Mother."
Mrs. Pang only took a few steps before she was stopped by Xu Wanjun.
He bit the chapped skin of his mouth fiercely, and he didn't bother to wipe it until he was bleeding, but he said very annoyedly: "The child hasn't told you yet, I signed a letter of divorce with the Zhang family in front of Jingluo last night, and she is no longer the daughter-in-law of my Xu family!" The children she gave birth to were also cut in two with me, and they never got along with each other anymore! ”
"Huh? How so? When Mrs. Pang heard this, she was shocked.
If Xu Wanjun hadn't told her now that she was still in the dark about what happened yesterday evening, she would never have expected that Xu Wanjun would be so stupid and fall for Xu Jingluo's stinky girl in a daze, so that they would never have anything to do with the Xu family from now on, and life and death have nothing to do with each other.
