The sturdy little peasant girl, the rough man is the favorite of the gods

Chapter 42 The reason for good cooking
Hearing this, Jiang Yao didn't bother to continue explaining, no matter how much she said, it was not as convincing as doing it.

"Forget it, I'll deal with the cicada monkey myself, and leave the chestnut to you."

"As for how to open chestnuts, you can learn from Second Brother Wei. If you have energy, open more. If you are too tired, open enough to eat tonight."

"Also, the second aunt will come over for dinner tonight. If you can open a little more, let's try to open as much as possible. Then I can ask the second aunt to bring some back to the second uncle to eat."

"Okay." The younger sisters responded in unison.

Hearing that her daughter arranged things like an adult, Lu's heart felt hot, but there was a throbbing pain in a corner.

After all, she was so useless that she made her daughter suffer...

It's useless to think too much, Lu quickly straightened his mind, and asked his daughters to learn how to peel chestnuts with Wei Chengye. The more they deal with it, the less the eldest daughter will deal with later.

Kanniang and the younger sisters started to move, and Jiang Yao also carried the cicada monkey to the other side of the courtyard.

In order to prevent cicada monkeys from moving around, it is also better to clean cicada monkeys.

Jiang Yao brought a large wooden basin, filled it with water and salt, poured all the cicada monkeys into it, and carefully cut off the wings of each cicada monkey.

After doing this, she pushed all the cicada monkeys into the water and continued to soak.

Thinking that these cicada monkeys would have to soak for half an hour, she stretched and ran to the other side to help peel the chestnuts.

At about the same time, she went back to the cicada monkeys, cleaned the cicada monkeys one by one and took out the control water.

After all, it will be fried in a while, if the water is not drained, her face will probably be fried together with the cicada monkey.

While draining the water, Jiang Yao scrubbed the cauldron clean, then added firewood to the stove, waited for the pan to dry up, poured in a wide range of oil to heat, and finally poured all the drained cicada monkeys into the oil.

For a moment, there was a non-stop sizzling sound in the pot, and soon, the aroma spread from the kitchen to the entire yard.

But this was not enough, Jiang Yao added dried chili and stir-fried, it was so choking and fragrant, it was so tempting that even the people in the yard couldn't help but stop their movements and forget about it in the direction of the kitchen.

Is this really the kind of scent that pests can emit?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally swallowed together.

Jiang Yao subconsciously glanced out of the kitchen, taking their astonishment into her eyes, and raised her eyebrows a little triumphantly.

Hmph, I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly!
Sighing silently in her heart, Jiang Yao fished out the healing monkey and chili peppers, and finally added her special salt and pepper and mixed them evenly.

I know that everyone is a little curious about what the cicada monkey looks like after it is finished.Jiang Yao didn't keep them waiting for too long, and gave them a small plate.

Even with chili peppers as decorations, the cicada monkey still looks a bit hideous and scary. If you close your eyes and only smell the fragrance, no one would guess that it was made by the cicada monkey!
After all, Mrs. Lu was a person who had experienced poverty. She hesitated for a moment, and with a sudden heart, she took the chopsticks and took the lead in clamping a cicada monkey into the entrance.

At the beginning of chewing, she was still a little cautious, but when the smell of fat meat exploded in her mouth, she couldn't help but speed up the chewing, and quickly grabbed another one.

"Girl Yao, I didn't expect you to be so capable and actually make this delicious thing! With you here, my old lady, I'm so blessed!"

Listening to Mrs. Lu's unsparing praise, the rest of the people swallowed again when they smelled the fragrance.

Wei Chengye, as a loyal fan of Jiang Yao's gourmet food, took a pair of chopsticks and added Cicada Monkey's entrance.

Suddenly his eyes widened in surprise.

"good to eat!"

Originally, when Mrs. Lu started, the mothers felt itchy in their hearts, but now Wei Chengye joined the queue of praise, they couldn't bear it anymore, and tasted it with their eyes closed.

Then there was praise after praise.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the courtyard door, Jiang Yao handed the cicada monkey to the second sister and went to open the door.

In fact, she had already thought that the person who came must be the second aunt Feng, but what she didn't expect was that Feng was holding rice noodles in his hand. It seemed that each kind weighed ten catties, enough for their family to eat for a while.

"Second Aunt, I invited you to dinner, what do you bring here? You are too polite!" Jiang Yao reached out to take the food, and smiled to guide Feng Shi inside.

Since the other party wants to treat them well, she will not take away the kindness of the second aunt. At worst, she will take the second aunt to do business together in the future, and just use another way to compensate them.

Seeing that Jiang Yao was not polite to them, the smile on Feng's face became even warmer.

"I haven't even walked to the gate of the courtyard, but I can smell the fragrance in your courtyard. What kind of delicious food did you make?"

"I know the monkey! Second aunt, come over and taste it!" Jiang Yue said while picking up the biggest one on the plate, and trotted in front of Feng.

"Second aunt, please try it, this is really good! We have all tried it, and even grandma is full of praise!"

Jiang Yue was too enthusiastic, and Feng felt that this thing was terrible, and couldn't bear to make the little girl sad, so he ate the cicada monkey in fear.

At first, she chewed very slowly, but she didn't expect it to become more and more delicious. After eating one, she wanted to eat the second one!

Seeing what the second aunt was thinking, Jiang Yao went back to the kitchen, filled a large plate, let them sit at the table to eat first, and she made sugar-fried chestnuts.

"It takes longer to fry the chestnuts, you guys eat them first, don't worry about me, there are still in the kitchen."

Hearing what Jiang Yao said, everyone felt relieved to eat.

Guessing that those cicada monkeys can only be used as snacks before meals, Jiang Yao fried a few more dishes while frying chestnuts.

When the sugar-fried chestnuts and other dishes were served, everyone was dumbfounded by the various aromas in the air.

"Girl Yao, who did you learn this skill from? Why are you so good!" It was the first time for Feng Shi to eat Jiang Yao's dishes, and she was the most shocked.

"In the past, Jiang Xue'an brought back a book about cooking by chance. I secretly read it while he was away. Probably because of my good memory, I actually wrote it down."

Jiang Yao had already expected that everyone would doubt the source of her culinary skills, and planned to use food to start a business, Jiang Yao had already thought of this set of excuses.

Anyway, even if Jiang Xuean was in front of him, there was no way to overthrow it.

After all, that scumbag father was often drunk, and fragments were even more common. He couldn't remember exactly what books he brought back.

Upon hearing this, the second aunt began to praise Jiang Yao for her talent.

Dinner was finished amidst everyone's praises.

Jiang Yao had a very good impression of this second aunt, and she was thinking about helping her second aunt find a profitable job in the future.

The second aunt's eyes suddenly shifted between Jiang Yao and Wei Chengye, and finally frowned.
