Chapter 156: Old Lady: What do you always scold your grandmother for?
"Here comes the braised loaches!"
Xu Laosi had just finished washing his hair and hadn't dried it, his long hair was scattered, and he hurriedly brought a large plate of loaches into the house.
This time it was delicious, because he was watching his second sister-in-law cook from the side.
If his second sister-in-law was reluctant to let go of anything, Xu Laosi deliberately said next to him: "Sister-in-law, you forgot, when our brothers were not at home, you and your mother also ate chicken and pure rice at home, and this is all done by a few of you."
Xu Laosi had a tearful expression, and he saved a few stupid boys by saving his life.
"No, that's not my mother at home, my mother will do whatever she says, my mother and Tian Xin are still ...... Okay, I won't talk about it, I'll listen to you this time, right? Do what you say."
Yu Qinniang is not stingy.
So don't look at it as a fish stew, but this meal is really fragrant.
It is fragrant to eat only in the soup of the braised loach in sauce.
"The spicy tofu is also trembling out of the pot."
This dish was learned by Yu Qinniang and Mrs. Xu, and it is actually a simple version of mapo tofu.
Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, shallots, salt, oil, water starch, and the spicy petal sauce that Mrs. Xu made before at home, put these things.
Don't underestimate the ingredients when cooking here, who cooks slowly and thinks about it will not be delicious, but you can save a little bit if you put one less, otherwise you won't have to spend money to buy it?
But tonight, Yu Qinniang's heart was nagged, and she cooked completely according to her mother-in-law's generous posture.
Although the habit of twenty years made her feel awkward, and the action of scooping salt and oil was not very natural, she still learned from Mrs. Xu, and asked Xu Laoer, who was burning the fire next to her, to hand her all kinds of bottles and cans:
"Give me that, I'll do some of it, and I'll get some of it. See? If you want to put this big spoon, it will not be fragrant. Well, sprinkle some green onions in the pot like this, and it will be fragrant."
provoked Xu Lao Er to squint at his daughter-in-law, why was the words so dense, at a glance, he knew that he was learning from his mother, and he painted a scoop according to the gourd.
How did the little couple know that their mother was going to broadcast live.
Celery and peanuts are also served.
Yu Qinniang scrambled six eggs with sauce, and it is impossible to fry eggs in oil.
The mother-in-law's original words, half of the man's words are enough. Major events such as how many people buy houses and land, in fact, are women's families. As long as the woman's family dares to grit her teeth and decide which thing can be done in the end. If you don't listen to those men and don't hold your hands tightly, and you have to scrape together enough money to buy a house and land, it will be easy to live in a bridge and a hole with him.
Yu Qinniang thought that scrambled eggs with sauce were good, and she ate less salted eggs.
Of the twelve eggs given by Aunt Pepper, she could still keep six for her man and two younger brothers to make egg drop soup with cakes twice.
Of course, it would be nice if my mother-in-law could come back in the next two days, and she wouldn't have to worry about how to eat the eggs.
If you want Yu Qinniang to speak from her heart, it is better to cook a family meal than to go out and carry firewood to work.
Then Yu Qinniang and Xu Lao Er finally entered the house after a tiring day.
The second child was too busy to wipe his face.
Everyone was so hungry that they couldn't do it, so they hurriedly said:
"Come, open the rice, the last pot, your sister's stewed two-rice dry rice."
In addition, two corns, four potatoes and half a gourd were boiled in a small steamer, and a dipping sauce of washed wild vegetables.
Two rice dry rice is served in small pots, which is about two bowls for one person.
This was a surprise for Xu Laoer, he hurriedly stood up and scooped up the brother-in-law, and the scoop was full and pressed again.
Xu Lao Er thought that he was so hard at Qin Niang that he was willing to make a three-way noodle cake mixed with white noodles as a staple food, but he didn't expect to be out tonight.
This is true, rice is Yu Qinniang's only selfishness towards her younger brother.
Yu Qinniang was also happy to watch her younger brother eat rice.
Because her mother's field can't grow rice, she goes outside to buy more than 20 yuan a pound of rice, which is more expensive than the price of fatty pork that can be boiled in oil. So don't talk about rice, I shouldn't have drunk rice porridge for several years.
And a few years ago her eldest brother came out
I was working with people outside, and I didn't know if I was bitten by a weasel or something at night, and when I got home, my head was very hot and I burned dizzy.
At that time, even her eldest brother thought that he would not be able to survive on his own, and finally stopped telling the truth with his mouth.
Her eldest brother held her hand and said, "Sister, I want to eat rice, I guess it is very fragrant just by eating rice, and it is fragrant after others have eaten it." I want to be a full man before I die."
But at that time, after the mother's family gave her younger brother the money for the medicine to remove the heat and compress the wound, where did she have any spare money.
Yu Qinniang still remembers that she went out to borrow rice in tears.
Even if they heard that her eldest brother would not survive and wanted to eat rice, they did not dare to borrow it.
What should I say, borrowing things is not a matter of popularity, but the other party will consider when you can pay it back. I will also consider borrowing this kind of rice for a full meal before I die, but it is not good to ask for it, and it is easy to be said that I have a hard heart and a bad reputation. It's better to say that there is no rice at home, and it is not to offend people.
So her mother-in-law's sentence: When you make others feel that you can repay what you borrow, then you can borrow whatever you want, this is the reason why there are many icing on the cake.
In short, Yu Qinniang still remembers this.
She just planned that her eldest brother would make rice as much as she could in her house these days, and steam less dry food, anyway, she would do everything.
Lest she go back to her mother's house, even if she can earn some money to buy rice by borrowing her mother-in-law's Dongfeng right now, the eldest brother will be filial to her mother and give Erli to eat, and it is easy to not be able to eat a grain of rice for a year and a half.
Another mother-in-law bought rice later with raw insects, what do you say, and when you think of it, you get angry. net
She just picked it out, and if there was that kind of broken rice that was not good, she cooked it and ate it.
At this time, Xu Lao Er turned his head to pick vegetables for Dali Zhang Luo, and quietly took away the potatoes in his daughter-in-law's hand.
He didn't even look back, didn't even glance at Qin Niang, he was able to accurately take away his daughter-in-law's empty bowl and exchange the spiky two rice in front of him for his daughter-in-law.
During the whole process, Xu Laosi and Dali didn't notice this episode at all.
swallowed the saliva that came to his mouth vigorously, and was frowning and refusing: "Brother-in-law, don't hold the eggs, it's really enough."
Vigorously sighed again:
"It's almost time to eat for the New Year, just make a loach and dip it in pickles at night, and eat more pressure kang head.
There is so much white rice in this meal, how can I make my sister so unable to live.
If this is in my house, my mother will have to knock her head with chopsticks and scold people, and she is not an old bachelor living alone, how can she not think about tomorrow like this, and she can no longer be allowed to cook.
Brother-in-law, you really have to take care of my sister if you don't have anything to do, don't let my aunt talk about her, and you don't talk about her. But this time it may be that I'm here."
Vigorously worried that he came to cook so many delicious foods, and his sister would be counted out when she turned around, so it was better to pick the words away. To be honest, this table can really be used as a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the Yu family.
Xu Laoer: That's good, but don't say it, don't tell your sister that you're sick.
"Look at the fourth, he ate half a bowl of rice. You eat it too, big brother, what are you doing with cabbage? Don't use cabbage rice, you also use the mapo tofu bibimbap, the loach with the sauce, you see the red pepper is also put in the loach, and then the peanuts are sandwiched."
Xu Laosi smiled when he heard this:
"Yes, it's so delicious, we won't have any leftovers tonight. Sister-in-law, I have to praise you today, the food is fragrant, and it smells like my mother cooking.
And Brother Dali, that's what you want to stubble.
Anyway, you'll stay here for a while, and you'll know when my mother and niece come back, and it's useless to explain. When you look at it, my niece dares to order, and my mother dares to do it, this is the style of our old Xu family at the helm.
And let my brother scold my sister-in-law? Does he dare?
But if my sister-in-law can't let go of her hands and feet if she doesn't do anything, she will make my mother dissatisfied. My mother used to say, either don't do anything, just try to fix it."
"Huh?" Dali thought to himself: Didn't the Xu family owe a lot of famine?
Do not tighten your belt from the mouth and from where to save. The farmer's family lives a day
The son has to be careful with his calculations, at least from everyone he knows.
Xu Laosi shook his head and said:
"I suggest you stay at my house with a big heart, lest you always murmur in your heart in the future.
You think, my family owes more than 70 taels of silver, and I am going to run for 80 taels, in this case, the famine owes a circle, my mother built a house for the merchants to eat, and she also thinks about putting people first, you taste the products."
Is this something that a normal person can do?
Otherwise, can it cost so much brick money?
Brick and tile money is simply Xu Laosi's heart disease, not to say that this is an early investment, what kind of competitiveness. said that if you give people enough cold, the richer the merchants, the more they will not come again after making enough preparations, and go straight to the town and county to spend money to warm up and eat, why do people come to you to eat?
If their brothers dare to ask more, their mother will scold them and say, your brothers' hearts. It seems that when she was born, she was sewn to death with threads, wondering why she was so dead-eyed.
"So what my mother thinks in my heart, let's not guess. But I dare to say that it is definitely different from the mother-in-law outside, you don't have to worry about your sister and my sister-in-law. My mother is more than the old ladies."
After Xu Laosi finished speaking, he also found a sense of identity from his second brother: "It seems that it was from the time when my sister-in-law said that my mother and niece were almost gone, right? We don't know if it's a matter of going to Lord Yama's place. I say something inappropriate, sometimes I think my mother's concept of running the house is more upright than an old bachelor who lives alone and the whole family does not go hungry."
Xu Lao Er: "Yes, eat, don't talk patronizingly."
You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense.
He commented a few words at the moment, it doesn't matter if the old lady is the fourth child, the slippery head of the fourth child is easy to go to the mother and sell him sweetly.
At the same time, I was nervous to protect the goods for fear of being robbed, and I didn't dare to close my eyes in the disaster, and there were many people who rushed to get relief food at night, and it was easy to be robbed.
After thinking about it, scolding and chattering, Mrs. Xu rubbed her nose and scolded: Grandma has legs, who is scolding her behind her back.
After listening to these words, he tasted it carefully, he had also gone to Lord Yama to hang out, why didn't he think about it. Could it be that I didn't see Lord Yama, or is it a bad breath?
But vigorously smiled and said:
"I can't help but this is your mother's ability, my aunt is right to do whatever she wants, so I'll walk around with my brother-in-law today, and whoever sees it won't ask my aunt."
Really, I just heard about it before, but now I'm convinced, and I happen to live and study here.
Didn't people say that? The brain supports the two legs, and only when the mind thinks about what to do, what the two legs do will be right.
This kind of family can be better, otherwise everything you want to do is in vain, isn't it, brother-in-law?"
Xu Lao Er: "Yes, eat, don't just talk."
He was almost finished with half a plate of loaches.
Yu Qinniang pulled a rag and handed it to her man to wipe the sweat on her face, which was sweating.
Seeing Xu Lao Er scooping the loach soup with a spoon and smearing it on the potatoes, Yu Qinniang suddenly said:
"Our Tian Xin'er loves soup and rice."
Stewed chicken soup, fish soup, stewed beans and eggplant with lard leftover soup, her family Tian Xin loves to use soup bibimbap, and then give two pickle strips to eat a big bowl. It's more fragrant than eating egg custard and rice.
"The eldest brother brought a lot of loaches, I only stewed a small half tonight, and I don't know when my mother and they will be able to get home, it stands to reason that they should have arrived home a long time ago, I guess I can't help but be delayed by this wind and rain. Alas, I don't know if it's raining outside, but fortunately, they can help each other with Uncle Lizheng, and it's useless for us to get angry at home...... I'll keep the rest in a bucket first, I see that I can raise it for two or three days, and Tian Xin'er must love to eat this loach. What do you say, husband?"
"Okay, eat, don't just talk." Xu Lao Er thought to himself: You will explain yourself, and ask me what I have done.
"I've already finished eating."
Vigorously answered: "Sister, keep it, if it's not enough, I'll catch it when I turn around."
Xu Youyin's eating speed slowed down significantly
, which means that he is also about to eat.
It's so comfortable, I'm tired and dying of a day, so I eat something good for my stomach, and I said with a smile:
"Yes, when I help the people in the village build a house for a few more days, they can't help our family, and we don't care about others when we finish our work. If I can't raise loaches, it's a big deal to go back and I'll go to the river with Brother Dali, and I'll be free in a few days, loaches and fish are really two flavors."
Xu Youyin smiled again and looked at Dali and said:
"If my niece is at home, she will have to hum a couple of words every time she finishes a meal. For our meal, she designated it to be rare, and my eldest niece was willing to eat salty. Why is she singing, sister-in-law, do you remember? I will remember that little word, like the river that broke the embankment."
Yu Qinniang smiled: "It seems to be something, the sun is shining on the river and singing, for life, we go around together. Planting beans and melons, working hard, sweating, and welcoming the harvest."
Her niece sometimes hummed this song after eating, and she couldn't remember the other song she loved to hum when she was working. Because they don't often work together.
What Yu Qinniang didn't know was that it wasn't how much Xu Tianxin liked to sing, but every time her family had a meal, it might be that the atmosphere was very good, everyone still ate it even if it was delicious, and she loved to play this song in the random background music in the live broadcast room, and she couldn't sing a few words if she didn't want to.
As for when she is working, the background music that she likes to play in the live broadcast room is: I believe that I am me, and I believe that tomorrow, I can still fly to the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
At the same time, Xu Tianxin, who was rushing, also sneezed twice in a row.
Mrs. Xu spit out a few mouthfuls again, who is this? Give them both grandparents and grandchildren, grandma has legs.
That night, Yu Qinniang and the others did not eat enough and fell asleep directly, but picked up the fish collected from the village today.
In addition to their own work, the Xu family also owes the village two taels of silver for fish. Presumably this is something that Mrs. Xu never expected, she really couldn't guess that a few children in the family would be able to save so many fish noodles and fish floss after she left.
Before dawn on the second day, Yu Qinniang got up early to beat the fish and noodles, and then made breakfast for her family.
She made a sauerkraut soup, steamed rice, boiled a few dried chili peppers, broke them and sprinkled them in the soup, and served them with a bowl of radish strips and pickles.
Thinking about gritting her teeth more today, she had no time to cook at noon, so she could only take a few big cakes and drink some water in the field to deal with a bite, so she cut a few slices of salted meat that Mrs. Xu pickled, and learned from her mother-in-law to make back to the pot meat.
Then Yu Qinniang and her younger brother carried the basket with a sickle, and pushed the car to the Xu family's field.
This year, Lao Xu's family roughly estimated that there were more than 2,000 cabbages and a lot of green onions.
