CHAPTER XXXVII

A few days later, the flu didn't come, but I heard about Zhang Xiaoyan's divorce.

"Wang Ma and Zhang Xiaoyan are divorced."

This matter was rumored, and all the spearheads were pointed at Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang is naturally not surprised, this matter has something to do with her, it can be regarded as someone forcibly pulling the relationship.

Mei Sanniang has been busy in the past few days, she not only has to go up the mountain to collect medicine, but also herd sheep, and take care of Guitang. After the rain, the road on the mountain is more difficult to walk, and the work of picking up snails is handed over to Cher.

Recently, Xu Erzhu doesn't come often, and he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't come every three or five days, Mei Sanniang is a little unaccustomed.

The main thing is that she can't see anyone, and no one is with her to chat.

Small talk while working, time flies the fastest.

In recent days, people have coughed from time to time on the road, Mei Sanniang made a simple version of the mask with cloth, and she also added cotton to the compartment of the mask, a total of four, and the four masks were changed in twos and twos.

A heart-rending cough sounded, Mei Sanniang looked up and saw that just now an aunt coughed several times in a row, and slowly went down the mountain with a basket on her back.

Mei Sanniang subconsciously pulled out her mask and instructed Xue'er: "Xue'er, mother, let's see if the rabbit has been hooked." ”

Mei Sanniang looked at several clips that caught rabbits in a row, she thought it would be in vain, and in the last clip she heard the squeaky sound of rabbits, so she trotted over, and sure enough, she saw a little rabbit that broke free from exhaustion.

Mei Sanniang lifted the rabbit ears and rushed to Xue'er, this rabbit is not strong at all, it is estimated that he has been breaking free after being clamped, fortunately he did not break free, otherwise it would be a void today.

Mei Xue saw the rabbit in Mei Sanniang's hand from afar, she trotted over and said excitedly: "Mother, can we eat rabbits today?" ”

Mei Xue hadn't eaten meat for a long time, not to mention how happy she was today, she circled around Mei Sanniang for a long time, and touched the rabbit with her hand.

"It's so cute."

Mei Sanniang asked: "Tutu is so cute, Xue'er still wants to eat Tutu?" ”

Cute is cute, after all, it's all something that has to be eaten.

"Cher likes to eat bunnies."

Mei Xue grinned and swallowed as she watched the rabbit.

"Bunnies eat bunnies when they're so cute."

Mei Xue's cheeks were smiling, and her lips couldn't help but bloom, revealing a row of white teeth.

After going down the mountain, Mei Sanniang processed the rabbit, removed the fur and internal organs, and began to cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, adding ginger, a little green onion, garlic, and a little peppercorn. Because there was no cooking wine, Mei Sanniang poured a little rice wine to remove the smell.

Before she started to do it, Mei Xue took a small bench and stood aside to watch her mother.

"You little one, peeking at the cooking skills in the open."

Mei Xue said obediently: "In the future, Xue'er will make it for her mother to eat when she learns it." ”

"Mother, Cher likes your cooking."

In the past, my mother rarely cooked, and I didn't eat the last meal, but now my mother seems to like cooking, and every dish is made very delicately, and it looks good, which will induce people's appetite.

"Xue'er, there are some things that my mother wants to tell you, cooking is not necessarily a girl's business, learning to cook is not a girl's duty, what you have to do is to master the iron rice bowl, and it is impossible for your mother to cook for you for a lifetime when you grow up."

"We are constantly learning for a more refined life."

"We are not born to enjoy, but only in this way can we perceive the ups and downs."

Mei Xue looked at it very carefully, and even Mei Sanniang's cooking steps were repeated in a whisper.

Mei Sanniang saw that the child was learning seriously, so she read out the steps of cooking.

"Heat the oil first, the more oil, the more fragrant."

Mei Sanniang poured a lot of rapeseed oil, which is equivalent to half a month's oil and water in an ordinary family.

"It would be even more fragrant if you added a little lard."

"Cher, stay a little further away from the stove, it will splash oil."

Mei Xue hurriedly stayed away from the stove, cautiously probed into the pot, only to see a stream of smoke coming out, and then saw the mother put the marinated rabbit meat into the pot and stir-fry, the movements of her hands did not stop, and kept stir-frying until the moisture of the meat was dry and fried until the surface was golden.

This action lasted for several minutes, and Mei Xue leaned together to smell the smell, not to mention how fragrant it was.

Mei Sanniang picked up the soy sauce and poured a little bit to enhance the flavor, and then she prepared dried chili peppers, green peppers and a little garlic and green onions, and stir-fried evenly.

Mei Xue is very curious about everything, she doesn't know why her mother would burn oil first, why she did this cooking, she used to only boil it.

Her mother told her before that if she didn't know how to cook, she would boil it, and as long as it was cooked after boiling, she could eat it.

"Xue'er, cooking is all about cooking, you have to remember that the dishes that come out of this way are delicious, reversing one of the orders may not taste bad, but it is definitely not as delicious as before."

"Moreover, why don't we put in the chili pepper in the first place, it is because to prevent the chili pepper from being scorched, so that the chili pepper tastes good and tastes mushy."

"When we put it in now, it will be more flavorful, let's put a little salt in it, stir-fry it a few times, and it will be out of the pot."

"Stir-fried rabbit meat is more flavorful."

"Here, Cher have a taste." Mei Sanniang took a piece from the pot and handed it to Xue'er's mouth, "Be careful, this meat is just out of the oven and it's very hot." ”

Mei Xue shuddered, borrowed it with her hand, and it was really hot.

But what was in front of her was meat, and it would be a pity if it fell to the ground, so she held the rabbit meat tightly and stuffed it into her mouth, using the saliva in her mouth to heat it up, and the rabbit meat rolled back and forth in her cheeks.

She kept snorting with her little tongue, and carefully tasted the rabbit meat, which was completely fragrant into the meat, even the bones tasted fragrant.

When eating, you can still hear the sound of Xue'er squirming rabbit meat, with a little spicy, but it is not spicy.

Mei Sanniang followed up and tasted it, the taste was suitable, full of spiciness, and it tasted extraordinarily energetic.

So she scooped up all the rabbit meat and put it on a plate full of it, and there was any excess.

"There are too many people who have caught a cold recently, Xue'er, you haven't run around, have you?"

Mei Xue shook her head, she wanted to go out, but she didn't dare, she hadn't seen Liu Tao for a long time, I don't know what happened to him, some time ago Liu Tao saw that Mei Xue didn't come to school, thinking that Mei Xue had a cold, and only after coming to inquire did she know that Mei Xue's mother didn't let her go out to play.

So he proposed that Mei Xue go out to play, but Mei Xue refused in person, and the reason was as simple as ever, because Mei Sanniang didn't let her go out to play, so Liu Tao didn't ask Mei Xue to play.

"It's good that Xue'er didn't run around, if she ran around, she wouldn't be able to row."

Mei Xue is a good girl in the family, but a good girl also has a rebellious day.

"Xue'er, do you know, my mother has heard a lot of people with colds and coughs in the past few days, and every time I hear it, I feel that the cough is around me, and I can feel the viruses and bacteria floating in the air, you dare to think that it is germs that are breathing."

Not to mention imagining, Mei Sanniang felt disgusting when she thought about it.

"Xue'er, wait a minute, my mother will go out for a while, you will stay at home, do you hear?"

Mei Xue promised well, after eating the rabbit meat, Mei Sanniang walked out wearing a mask, still carrying a little rabbit meat in her hand, Mei Xue was curious about who she was bringing it to, Mei Sanniang didn't say anything, only said to give it away.

Mei Xue didn't think much about it, and felt that it should be given to Uncle Erzhu, because whenever there was something good, her mother would think of Uncle Erzhu.

After Mei Sanniang left, Liu Tao slipped in.

The main thing is to play with Mei Xue.

"Mei Xue, what's going on with you these days?"

"The school has been deserted recently, I don't know what to do without you, the teachers have been sick recently, and my sister has a little cold."

Mei Xue looked at Liu Tao and asked, "Then you don't go home to take care of Teacher Liu?" ”

"My sister just coughs."

"My mother said that the recent cough may be the flu, it's better, be careful."

The boy's heart is a little bigger, but he doesn't believe it, "It's your mother who said it, and your mother is not a doctor, so you can believe what she says." ”

Mei Sanniang's words are naturally not credible, but she is Mei Xue's mother, and her mother will never lie to her.

"My mother is studying medicine."

Liu Tao laughed and said, "Mei Xue, don't tease me." ”

Mei Xue explained: "My mother has read a lot of medical books, and of course I believe what she says. ”

Liu Tao felt that Mei Sanniang was a joke, "Aunt Mei is studying medicine? Do you know how hard it is to be a doctor? It's not like you can just read a book and become a doctor! You have to heal people, and you have to heal them. ”

"Your mother has the most to look at."

"If we really learn, then we can become doctors by reading a few books, Mei Xue, don't think about these unrealistic things."

"By the way, let's go out."

Liu Tao warmly invited Mei Xue to say: "Go play in the woods, the wild fruits in it are ripe a lot, and they will be gone in a few days, can you go?" ”

Mei Xue was very embarrassed, her mother had explained that she couldn't run around, but she hesitated.

"I said Mei Xue, you can't go out, you can't go out, can you only play at home? Aunt Mei is not here, and Aunt Mei won't find out if you go out for a while, so it would be better if you came back before she came back. ”

Liu Tao sighed: "You are your mother's obedient good boy, I am different, no mother's pain, you can listen to your mother's words." ”

"You just don't want to play with a motherless child. Mei Xue, I treat you as a friend, you show off to me every day that you have a mother, you can listen to your mother, have you ever thought about my feelings. ”

Mei Xue shook her head, "That's not what I meant. ”

Mei Xue wanted to tell Liu Tao that he had a contagious cold recently, and also reminded him not to run around, but Liu Tao didn't listen to him at all.

"I'll just go out and play."

"I've always treated you like my best friend."

Mei Xue replied resolutely to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao laughed happily, he had long wanted to take Xue'er to pick wild fruits together, and he could have a small picnic.

"The March bubble is delicious, sweet with a little bit of sourness, and it tastes particularly delicious."

Liu Tao took Mei Xue's hand and walked up the mountain.
