…

The next day, Xu Lan got up early in the morning.

After the two had breakfast, Lu Nanzhou went to work in the hospital, while Xu Lan went to the market and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperatives to purchase ingredients.

She couldn't sleep last night, thought about it and thought about it, and finally finalized what she wanted to sell at her stall today.

Beef plate noodles!

In the final analysis, it was the basket of eggs sent by Feng Tian yesterday that brought her inspiration.

But there are no ingredients at home, and the pork she bought the day before yesterday was used by her to make wontons this morning, so she could only get up early in the morning to buy it.

Entering the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, when the boss saw that it was Xu Lan, his eyes instantly glowed with golden light, and he enthusiastically surrounded him.

That's a big customer!

Under the warm service of the shop owner, Xu Lan bought the ingredients used to make beef noodles.

…

Back at the family courtyard, Xu Lan walked into the courtyard gate with the ingredients he bought.

I met Aunt Li and several middle-aged women who were just about to go grocery shopping.

Aunt Li met Xu Lan and greeted her warmly:

"Mumble, have you just come back from the market? Why do you wake up so early? ”

When Aunt Li saw Xu Lan carrying a large bag in her hand, she knew that she had gone to the market.

I wanted to ask her how the stall was doing, but when she saw so many people around, she was afraid that Xu Yan would be embarrassed, so she didn't ask.

"Yes, Aunt Li, I went to the market and bought some food."

Xu Mo stopped, responded to Aunt Li with a smile and greeted her.

One of the middle-aged women on the opposite side looked at Xu Lan, and asked Aunt Li with curiosity in her eyes:

"Whose girl is this? How to look at the eyes, I don't seem to have seen it before. ”

After hearing this, Aunt Li said: "This is Xiao Lu's daughter-in-law, she has only been here from her hometown for a few days, and it is normal that you haven't seen it." ”

"The daughter-in-law of the Lu family?"

Several middle-aged women said in unison. Then he looked behind him unconsciously, and closed his mouth instantly.

Something is wrong with this atmosphere, isn't it?

Xu Lan followed their gaze and saw a strange woman standing at the back, and after hearing Aunt Li's answer, her eyes looked at her extremely unkindly, with a strange hostility.

It's quite inexplicable, this aunt, why don't you know each other, what are you doing with this look at me?

The strange woman looked older than Aunt Li, but she was dressed very fashionably, wearing the most popular wool rolls at the moment, painting blue-purple eyeshadow, and wearing lipstick.

Xu Mo looked at her face and recalled seriously, this woman seemed to be a little... Familiar?

It seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but Xu Lan couldn't remember it.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, and everyone just stood there, no one spoke.

Even Aunt Li, who has always been big, noticed it, and she asked:

"Why don't you talk about this?"

Wasn't it quite lively just now?

Aunt Li was a little confused.

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman who had just asked Aunt Li looked down at the canvas bag in her hand uncomfortably, and was extremely annoyed in her heart.

I knew she wouldn't ask much.

This Aunt Li only moved here last month, she doesn't know what's going on, but the people in their courtyard are really clear!

I think that this Aunt Feng treated Lu Nanzhou as her own son-in-law, and praised everyone she met, as if she decided that Lu Nanzhou would not marry his daughter.

The result?

Her daughter-in-law confessed to Lu Nanzhou, but was rejected, and not long after, she married her daughter-in-law in the countryside.

This Aunt Feng is a disgrace, not to mention slapping her face, she has cultivated a very good girl, in the eyes of Lu Nanzhou, she is not as good as a wild girl with no education in the countryside.

The middle-aged woman who asked just now quietly raised her head and glanced at Xu Mu.

Don't say anything else, and it's no wonder that Dr. Lu doesn't look down on her Aunt Feng's daughter, just this little appearance, not much longer than the pretentious daughter of Aunt Feng's family.

After Aunt Feng swept Xu Lan from top to bottom, she saw the pile of things she was carrying in her hand, and asked:

"You bought all of these?"

Xu Lan was asked inexplicably, thinking to himself that this aunt is not nonsense?

She didn't buy it, could it be that you bought it?

But out of politeness, Xu Lan had no choice but to reply with a "hmm".

As a result, as soon as her voice fell, she saw Aunt Feng snort with disdain on her face, and she actually counted her:

"Sure enough, the country's eyelids are shallow, I haven't seen good things, I don't know how to save money, and I don't know how to feel distressed when I spend other people's money."

"Yesterday, I heard my family Feng Tian say, you said that there are only two people in your family, and you actually cook four dishes for one meal, it's too luxurious, it's not easy for this Xiaolu to work, you don't know how distressed people are."

As soon as Xu Lan heard this, she suddenly realized, and she said where this hostility came from.

The strange woman in front of her for a long time was Feng Tian's mother, and she said that why did she look so familiar, not everything explained.

She and the mother and daughter are damn good... Fate.

This mother's family is not a good product, and the daughter wants to destroy the relationship between husband and wife, and run to the house to sow discord.

Aunt Feng in front of her, as an elder, has no sense of boundaries, she doesn't care about her own family's affairs, and she actually manages other people's families, isn't it idle?

Neither mother nor daughter is likable!

Xu Lan is not used to her, no matter what she is old and young, if you don't respect me, then I don't need to respect you, a violent temper came up, and he opened his mouth directly:

"You live by the sea? How wide is the tube? ”

"I spent your money? Eating your rice? I'm getting in the way of fresh air? ”

"What does it mean to spend someone else's money without feeling distressed? Lu Nanzhou and I are husband and wife, do you understand the joint property of husband and wife? His money is my money, why can't I spend it? ”

Xu Mo became more and more energetic the more he spoke, a long string of bald words came out of his mouth, and after speaking, he ignored the eyes of others, turned his head and left.

Aunt Feng was so angry that she jumped to her feet after hearing this, she kindly educated her, but this stinky girl not only didn't listen, but even refuted herself.

She pointed at Xu Mo for a long time, but only said:

"You... You... Don't run! ”

Aunt Feng's face turned blue and purple for a while, and sure enough, this stinky girl was the same as her Feng Tian said, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth.

Aunt Li saw Aunt Feng pointing at Xu Lan, as if she wanted to catch up, and hurriedly stopped her:

"Actually... What he muttered does make sense. ”

Aunt Feng glared at her instantly, and Aunt Li silently swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach.

After all, I didn't eat her rice, did I?

Back at home, Xu Lan began to process the ingredients he bought.

She first took out the ingredients from the bag and put them on the table, green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, grass fruit, ham sausage, red pepper, beef, and the basket of eggs that Feng Tian sent over yesterday.

Start boiling the eggs, after cleaning the pot, turn on the faucet to take a pot of water, cold the eggs under water, turn on the gas stove and turn to high heat.

Then put the purchased beef under the faucet, rinse it, take it out and put it on the cutting board, and cut it into small pieces of uniform size.

Then put the cut beef pieces into a basin of water to soak off the blood and continue to process the rest of the ingredients.

I took out the dried red pepper and put it in a small basin, poured warm water to soak it for later use, and then the egg was also boiled.

Xu Lan scooped out the eggs one by one with a spoon, soaked them in cold water, and peeled the egg skin while they were just out of the pot.

Then peel the ham sausage you bought, cut the green onions, ginger and garlic, and remove the dried chili peppers from the water for later use.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Lan took out the leftover butter hot pot base used in the stall yesterday, tore open the package, and poured a little oil into the pot.

After the oil temperature is ten hot, Xu Lan puts the green onions, ginger and garlic into the pot and stir-fries until fragrant, pours the hot pot base into the pot and stir-fries, adds the bean paste bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives and the soaked dried chili peppers, and continues to stir-fry over high heat.

After frying, Xu Lan took the cut beef out of the water and poured it into the pot, adding eggs and ham sausages in turn.

Add appropriate water to the pot, two spoons of light soy sauce, one spoonful of dark soy sauce, a few times of oil and an appropriate amount of salt, add water, cover the pot and boil over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer.

After doing all this, Xu Lan glanced at the time, it was only eight o'clock, and it was still too late to go to the stall after rolling out the noodles.

She first went to the yard to look at the greens that had been dug out of the space yesterday and planted in the yard, watered them a little, and then went back to the kitchen and began to make noodles.

Xu Lan first found a large basin, put five bowls of flour in a bowl, beat eggs into the basin, added an appropriate amount of salt, poured cold water, stirred it into a dough with chopsticks, and kneaded it into a smooth dough with his hands.

After the noodles were kneaded, Xu Lan found a plate and covered the basin with resting noodles.

At this time, the beef in the pot was also out of the pot, Xu Lan extinguished the gas stove, opened the lid of the pot, and a fresh fragrance came to her nose, she padd the handle of the pot with a wet towel, carefully picked up the pot, and poured the marinated beef, eggs and sausages into the thermos bucket.

Then he thought about it again, took a small basin out of the cupboard, took a spoon to put out some beef and marinated eggs, and kept it for lunch to eat with Lu Nanzhou.

After packing everything up, Xu Lan set off for the market.
