Chapter 229: Talking about family matters
"Youqing family, please be kind to Lord Zhang and Zhang Guard. We're cooking more good dishes this afternoon. I'll help you. Yang Dacui immediately offered to help, but she couldn't be absent when the head of the house was away.
Besides, Youqing's family is a little daughter-in-law. The man is not at home, and the children are small, so it is inconvenient to entertain foreign men alone.
Shen Yunxi thanked: "Thank you, auntie."
Master Zhang and Guard Zhang are both men. Yang Dacui is here. She invited Master Zhang and Guard Zhang to lunch. No one gossiped.
Shen Yunxi said as he quickly poured the tofu ordered in the pot into the packed wooden box with a water spoon, and then quickly wrapped it in a cage cloth, covered it with a lid, and pressed a clean stone.
In order to prevent the water from flowing everywhere, Shen Yunxi specially moved it to the stone mill and placed a bucket under the stone mill to get water.
Zhang San was very curious and wanted to ask, but she was too busy to ask Shen Yunxi.
When all this was done, Yang Dacui helped clean the cooking pot, wash the dishes, and clean the whole place.
The children in the room also came out to stare at Zhang San.
Shen Yunxi washed his hands and picked up the fish basket that Zhang San had just brought back. It's heavy and there's a lot of stuff in it
Remove the lid with the barb on the front, and everything in the basket falls into the small tank where the eels are kept.
Unsurprisingly, there are crabs, fish and shrimp, eels, and even local snakes.
Zhang San was caught off guard and took two steps back. "These fish are too small, can they be eaten?"
Shen Yunxi smiled: "This fish is too small to eat, it is really not worth eating." We'll dry the fish for a while. Today we eat crabs, shrimp and eels. Although the water snake here will stew soup, the seasoning is not enough, and I can't eat lunch today. ”
Yang Dacui came over and asked, "Youqing's family, what do you want to do now?" Let me help you. ”
Shen Yunxi replied, "Auntie, help me cook rice." By the way, Zhang Guard, do you prefer rice, noodles or cakes?"
Zhang San replied: "I was born and raised in the south, so he always ate rice when he was a child. When he arrived in the capital, he also ate some pasta, but he never ate pasta at noon, only in the morning and evening. ”
Yang Dacui smiled and said, "It's just right." Let's eat rice! You're Lord Zhang's bodyguard, so your eating habits should be similar, right?"
Guard Zhang nodded: "Yes, I grew up with the young master, studied together, practiced martial arts together, and became his personal guard."
Shen Yunxi and Yang Dacui just inquired aimlessly about the news. They seem to be talking about family matters, but they also know a lot about Lord Chin Cha Zhang.
Shen Yunxi first washed the eel, cut it into sections, marinated it with rice wine, green onion and ginger, and set aside.
Cover it with a sieve to prevent flies from surrounding it.
Shen Yunxi usually pays special attention to hygiene. The house was very clean, but flies were inevitable on hot days.
Shen Yunxi secretly took out an insecticide to repel mosquitoes and flies, and there were not many flies at home.
Zhang San carefully observed Shen Yunxi's every move and thought that Shen Yunxi's house was simple and clean.
Once, the adults were eating at the old farmer's house and inspecting the people's conditions, and the environment was much worse than that.
After marinating the eel, Shen Yunxi picked up the brush and began to wash the crabs.
It is indecent to eat crabs, so decent people don't eat crabs nowadays.
Ordinary people won't eat crabs if they're not hungry.
Not only because the crab smells fishy, but also because the crab is difficult to eat and the shell is also very hard.
It can also be accidentally scratched, so it is not enough to eat. Very few people eat crabs.
Of course, it is impossible for Shen Yunxi to ask Lord Zhang to pick up crabs like this, this is unseemly.
