Chapter 34

As soon as Jiang's second child returned home after drinking, Dr. Li and his wife stepped into Jiang's yard.

Grandma Li took a small bag and stuffed it to Grandma Jiang as soon as she came in.

"This is the cloth head left over from the embroidery of the second family. You let the big girl use it to put the soles of the shoes and practice her hands. You can call her to come to the house next spring and learn some kung fu from the second family. You can get married at the end of the year."

"Your second daughter-in-law is very skilled. Don't waste her money-making time. The big girl is clumsy. Knowing how to make shoes and sew clothes is enough. Our family is not a lady from that town. How can I have the leisure time to embroider?"

Grandma Li knew Grandma Jiang's temper, knew that she was always straightforward, and didn't say much. When she saw three dishes and one soup on the table, two green vegetables and one meat dish, she couldn't help but blame Grandma Jiang for her waste.

"Tell me, why do you prepare so many dishes? Let's not be relatives, but we should become in-laws?"

"I think highly of your family, but your family doesn't have a daughter to marry."

The two were talking here, but Dr. Li sat down with a bowl on the other side, and asked Jiang Lao Er to pour the wine quickly.

"You old man, you still treat yourself as your own when you come to eat girls!"

"Sister's house is not my house, but whose house is it? Don't waste your time, sit down and eat. The dishes on Zhenniang's table are better than usual, and the fried chicken offal is very fragrant."

Dr. Li held a piece of chicken paw and gnawed on it.

"Uncle, grandpa, you forgot that my second aunt is still having a baby! All the dishes on this table are cooked by my eldest sister!"

As soon as Jiang Xinyi said this, Dr. Li and Grandma Li looked at Miss Jiang in disbelief.

Because sister-in-law Jiang is famous for not being able to cook, she was either burnt or raw. In the first year of her marriage, Grandma Jiang tried to save her.

But the family couldn't bear Mrs. Jiang's gastrointestinal attack, so Grandma Jiang had to pick up the kitchen work again, and then quickly negotiated a good marriage with Jiang's second child.

Miss Jiang didn't have a good inheritance from her mother, and later, Mrs. Zhang married in, so Miss Jiang didn't have much chance to practice cooking.

It wasn't the first time for Dr. Li and the others to eat at Jiang's house, but they had never eaten the food served by Mrs. Jiang.

"Big girl has grown up! The food is so delicious, she can get married now."

"That, that's..." Jiang Da Niu was about to say that Jiang Xinyi taught her, but Jiang Xinyi kicked her under the table. She was so panicked that she could only blushed and remained silent, bowed her head and concentrated on eating.

The host and guest enjoyed a meal, especially Miss Jiang.

She was obedient and only cooked porridge with vegetables, but Jiang Xinyi scooped up a large bowl full of snake soup and put it next to her. She was so scared that she immediately said that it was okay if she didn't need it.

Only then did Dr. Li say that Jiang Xinyi went to Li's house to ask about medicinal food for Jiang Da Niu, and the snake was also caught for Jiang Da Niu.

Da Niu Jiang's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she was so moved that her hands trembled while holding the bowl.

"It's my fat girl who has a heart! Everything is for the sake of the family." Grandma Jiang never forgets to praise Jiang Xinyi in everything.

"Grandmother, snake gall improves eyesight, snake meat cleanses blood, you can nourish it by eating it, you and uncles and uncles should eat more."

"Okay, my fat girl is good."

"Let's kill another snake tonight and stew a snake porridge. Grandma, you can take it to the town and give it to the old lady tomorrow." Jiang Xinyi ate the soup obediently by himself, without eating any meat.

"Dong Mansion?" Grandma Jiang had no idea.

"Yes! The old lady heard that she didn't eat well recently. She liked the dish last time and asked our family to send it over." Jiang Xinyi found out that the backer of Dong's mansion can work hard, even if he can't get close, he can mix A familiar face is also good.

"Fatty's idea is right, the snake meat is nourishing, and the stewed porridge is good." Dr. Li nodded while eating, and he didn't stop working hard.

Hearing Dr. Li praise Jiang Xinyi, Grandma Jiang was even more proud. Her baby fat girl is a lucky star and a golden bump!

Except for the elders, everyone else was given a piece of meat and a bowl of soup. Because it was a water snake that was peeled alive, the meat was very tender and tasted a bit like chicken but more elastic. Everyone ate it deliciously, and felt that it was better than the ones eaten after the autumn harvest in previous years. Snake meat is also delicious.

Moreover, this snake soup not only cures facial sores, the rural hygiene habits are poor, and children often develop sores on their hands, feet and heads. Drinking snake soup will make them feel much better.

Everyone in the family drank snake soup, even the smallest Jiangdou and the least valued bletilla striata, but Mrs. Zhang didn't. It doesn't matter that she has a bad bosom and the snake meat is cold, but she is still drinking medicine. This medicated diet cannot be eaten casually.

Seeing everyone eating and drinking so happily, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help feeling depressed. She wanted to give her husband a look, but found that Mr. Jiang and Dr. Li were too busy drinking, eating chicken offal, and snake meat. She became red, and didn't even look at her at all, so angry that Mrs. Zhang finished her meal and went back to her room without saying a word.

Grandma Jiang just shook her head and said nothing.

"I saw that your second daughter-in-law was quite sensible before, what's the matter today?" Grandma Li asked directly.

"Things with low bones can't be suppressed after a long time. Don't worry about her, but is your family's marriage settled?"

"Still looking for it! You have seen a lot. If you know which girl is good, tell me. As long as you have a good temper, I won't pick others."

"The child Changhu was born with a good-looking talent, and your family is not short of money. This means that my dear should have stepped on the threshold of your family long ago. Do you still need me to come forward?" Grandma Jiang took out rice wine and poured it for Grandma Li. a small bowl.

"Look, you haven't had a few sips of wine, and you're too drunk. It's not like you don't know that Chang Hu's horoscope is not good. I'm so relieved!" Grandma Li frowned again because of this.

It turned out that because Li Changhu was in mourning and his fiancée died later, it was said that he had killed his wife, and that he had high vision, and even looked down on the young lady of Baicaotang in the town, so it was difficult to find a partner for a while.

Grandma Jiang gave a few words of consolation, and agreed to take a look at Li Changhu.

Seeing that the moon was climbing into the sky, Li Changhu happened to be driving a carriage to pick up his grandma, and Dr. Li went home with unfulfilled intentions.

**
In order for Grandma Jiang to bring snake porridge to Mrs. Dong the next day, Jiang Xinyi specially ordered Mrs. Jiang to slice the snake meat off the snake bones one by one at night, and then sprinkle the snake meat with salt. , minced perilla leaves, and a little egg white to marinate and hang in the well to freeze.

Put the white rice in cold water first, then rinse the bloody snake bones with blanching water, and simmer the old hen for a whole night, then pick up the snake bones and chicken in the early morning, skim off the floating foam and oily flowers, and finally put the snake meat and Add shallots to it, bring it to a boil for a few seconds, remove from the fire immediately, and wrap it with an old cotton-padded jacket and straw to keep warm.

Da Niu Jiang now regards her little sister as a little fairy. She does what Jiang Xinyi says, and even mustered up the courage to mention it to Grandma Jiang, leaving a small bowl of snake porridge for Jiang Xinyi to eat after waking up.

"Well, you are finally a bit of a big sister, you have to think about everything yourself, and don't just do it stupidly."

Seeing that Grandma Jiang rarely had a few kind words for her, Miss Jiang nodded quickly.

The two made preparations, and took Li Changhu's carriage to the town before dawn.

When we got to the entrance of Hongdou Lane, we got out of the carriage and saw Grandma Qin coming out with a little maidservant. Grandma Jiang greeted her with a call.

"Old sister, where are you going this early in the morning?"

"Oh, you came just in time. Did you rent this carriage?" Grandma Qin looked anxious.

"Here's my natal grandson! My old sister, come here if you need it urgently!" Grandma Jiang is very good at reading words and expressions.

After hearing this, Grandma Qin didn't refuse, and with the help of the little maid, she climbed into the carriage and asked Li Changhu to take them to Dong's Mansion in the east of the city.

 Drinking snake soup to cure acne is what my grandfather said,

  I also drank a lot when I was a child,

  You don’t need to eat meat, just drink soup (▽`)
