Chapter 247 It’s time to show off my cooking skills
When I returned to the village, it was almost dark. Uncle Mo and Uncle Wu looked at me with a bit of resentment when I came back from shopping.
They were both very tired today. They didn't stop for the whole afternoon and called a few people to help. Finally, they got everything done and almost all the sweet potatoes were harvested.
The only one that hasn't been delivered is the one from the Xiao family. At that time, they desperately took the seeds from me, but now they haven't delivered them.
But it wasn't much anyway, and I was too lazy to pursue it.
I said I didn't care and put the snacks I bought on their table. "Uncle Mo, Uncle Wu, you two have worked hard. I brought them back from the street specially for you. Please try them. In addition, I decided to cook some delicious dishes today that you have never eaten before. I will reward you for your hard work."
I haven't cooked for a long time, so I decided to show off my cooking skills today.
"Okay, if it tastes good, we'll forgive you. If it doesn't, then there's no question of forgiveness. After all, we've been tired all day, but that's the fact." Uncle Mo glanced at me, said this, and went back to his room leisurely. I smiled and followed him.
Thinking of the stir-fried pork liver and pig intestines, the big bone stew, and the mushroom stewed chicken, how could that series of delicacies not be delicious?
I took the things to the small kitchen in my yard,
I called Cao'er and Hua'er to help me and started washing the vegetables I bought today.
The two nimble little girls followed my instructions and cleaned everything thoroughly.
When Liu Niang heard that I was going to cook today, she came over to join in the fun, and without hesitation I grabbed her and asked her to wash the shallots, garlic and ginger.
Liu Niang kept saying that I was exploiting her. She didn't even give me a moment of free time to look at me, and she even had to wash vegetables for me.
As she said this, she smiled and put some water drops on her face. I mercilessly teased her back.
Suddenly, the war between the two affected the flowers and grass. The whole kitchen was filled with laughter.
After enough playing, the dishes are done.
Cao'er started to light the fire. Hua'er was cutting vegetables. I quickly cleaned the pot and heated the pot with oil.
The chopped pork liver and large intestine were stir-fried in hot oil and chili peppers, and waves of aroma wafted away in the wind.
Next, fry the hen until it is browned, add water, and put the mushrooms in. Start to simmer slowly.
Remove the scales and gills of the fish, turn both sides golden brown, add a little sour chili, and then pour the chopped ginger, scallions and garlic on top. Steam until cooked.
In this way, ten dishes were fried in a row, all in large plates.
The intertwined aromas attracted everyone who dared to come into the yard.
The shopkeeper Su who used to follow me, Chuqi, Da Niu, Er Niu, Xiao Si, Uncle Mo, Uncle Wu, followed by Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, four of my fellow apprentices, including Zi Su, Cao Feng, and the four of us who cooked. One table was too full, so we split it into two tables.
She also brought back a few jars of wine and placed them at the men's table.
A few of us ladies opened another table.
Everyone was not pretentious. Everyone was so familiar with each other and had lived in the same compound for so long. They just took their own bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Just as Master Wang started eating, he was brought in by Old Man Zhang.
Seeing so many people preparing to eat, Prince Wang also asked his attendants to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks. They squeezed to the middle of the table and started eating.
I added some dishes and asked Old Man Zhang to take them away. The young master's entourage was embarrassed to eat with everyone, so he took the food and went over there to eat with Old Man Zhang.
It was lively and lasted for almost an hour. The men at the table were a little drunk. A group of people met and supported each other to go back. The young master didn't care about his appearance. He slept in a room with Xiaoqi and the others.
I found that the people who came to my big courtyard seemed to be very easy-going. They no longer had the airs and aura of aristocratic young masters.
This is good too, everyone is comfortable.
Huaer, Caoer and Zisu cleaned up all the dishes and it was already dark.
Liu Niang and I chatted for a while. I asked Liu Niang if she wanted to buy a house for herself.
Liu Niang glanced at me and said, "Do you want to drive me away? Do you dislike me so much?"
I lay on the recliner, looking at the sky full of stars, and chuckled; "Sixth Mother, I don't want to chase you away, and I will never chase you away. As long as you are willing, you can live with me forever!"
"You said this, don't regret it, or I might end up relying on you. I'll go wherever you go."
"Okay, then we can grow old together, and we can still chat and talk like we do now. Isn't that great?"
"I will remember your words, and I will not regret it when the time comes."
"I definitely won't regret it."
……
The two women just lay on the chairs and fell asleep without talking.
Huaer, Caoer and Zisu had no choice but to work together to carry us and the recliner into the room and cover us with a quilt.
