Xianyu's leisurely life through books

Chapter 14 Can Third Brother Afford Her?
"Third Aunt is cooking dinner."

"Auntie, we have meat tonight."

The children chirped and explained, like singing birds.

Song Qi was very surprised, and looked at Pei Xiaoxiao: "Sister-in-law, are you going to make dinner?"

She just went out to pretend to be a trick, why did she feel that she went to the wrong house?

Pei Xiaoxiao smiled: "I'm not cooking dinner, I'm just cooking a dish."

Song Qi: "..."

Well, she was thinking too much.

But the third sister-in-law actually took the initiative to cook, this is also very scary, okay?

"Huh? Is that in your hand a pig's offal... Ah! What is that white thing?" Song Qi had a bad feeling.

"It's pork belly." Pei Xiaoxiao explained, "The white one is flour."

"You wash pigs with flour?" Song Qi's face contorted for a moment.

Pei Xiaoxiao lowered her head and scrubbed, not seeing her expression: "That's right, pork belly is the cleanest when washed with flour, I guarantee you will still want to eat it."

Pei Xiaoxiao spoke happily, but Song Qi fell silent.

Use the precious flour worth ten cents to wash the pigs that no one eats into the water!

Was Pei Xiaoxiao's head caught by the door?

Song Qi took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to accuse Pei Xiaoxiao of wasting food.

She usually has the best relationship with third brother, so she can't blame his sweetheart.

Pei Xiaoxiao finally finished scrubbing, got up and went into the kitchen to blanch with hot water.

She suddenly remembered the mung bean cake she had just bought, and said, "Little sister, there is mung bean cake on the table in my room, take it out and share it with the children."

The children cheered.

After taking two steps and stopping, Pei Xiaoxiao took out ten copper coins from her bosom and handed them to Song Xue: "Xue'er will help Third Aunt go to Dr. Du's house to ask if there is any pepper, and buy some for seasoning."

Pork belly chicken tastes better with some pepper. I forgot to ask Song Fang to buy it before.

Song Qi was completely speechless.

How did the Pei family raise their daughter? They don't know what it means to be diligent and thrifty to manage a family and live a stable life.

Pepper is very expensive, you don't know if you can buy ten grains for ten cents?

She walked towards the east wing with heavy steps.

Third Brother... Can he really afford to support this little fairy floating in the sky?

Pork belly is a tight commodity in modern times, and it costs tens of dollars a catty.

But here, one only needs three pennies, which is like prostitution for nothing.

So cool.

Pei Xiaoxiao hummed, cut the half-soft stewed pork belly into strips, and called the children to come and eat.

Song Qi was chopping chicken pieces by the stove, and curled her lips when she heard this.

What's so delicious about pigs' offal?

These are all rotten goods that were thrown directly by people.

The third sister-in-law spent a huge sum of six pennies to buy two...

She sighed deeply, exerted strength with her hand, and chopped hard on the chopping board.

Benedict!
Tuk Tuk!

Pei Xiaoxiao: "Come on, come and try."

Song Xue and the others didn't move at all, as if their heels were nailed to the ground.

Grandma said that if you eat these dirty things, you will get sick.

Pei Xiaoxiao looked at Song Wen.

"Wenwen, don't go, you will get sick if you eat it." Song Ting held his sister, frowned and looked at Pei Xiaoxiao, "This is dirty stuff!"

Pei Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Okay, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it myself." She picked up a piece, dipped it in soy sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Well, it's still a bit tough, and children may not be able to chew it, so it should be softer after cooking.

It smells good though, not smelly at all.

"It's delicious. Since you guys don't try it, I'll just stew it with chicken."

"mother……"

"Third Aunt..."

The children exclaimed.

"One last time, do you want to taste it?"

Several children came over hesitantly.

The pork belly was still a bit tough, so Pei Xiaoxiao cut it into smaller pieces and stuffed them into their mouths one by one, telling them: "Eat slowly, chew for a long time, it's not cooked yet."

Pork belly is a good thing, as long as it is washed, it is delicious whether it is cut white or boiled in soup.

Pei Xiaoxiao handed a piece to Song Qi's lips: "Little sister, too?"

Song Qi didn't want to eat it.

But the third sister-in-law has earnest eyes...

For the sake of the third brother, fight hard!

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you."

As soon as the pork belly was in the mouth, Song Qi's eyes widened.

No smell and nausea as imagined.

Cool and tough, fragrant but not greasy.

Strange and wonderful taste.

good to eat!

The point is... this is really meat!

Pei Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

Several people nodded.

"anything else?"

Several people nodded again.

Pei Xiaoxiao smiled, and fed them one by one: "I will stew it with the chicken later, it will be softer and delicious."

Song Qi was looking forward to it, and at the same time, a strange thought flashed in her mind.

Could it be that in the eyes of the third sister-in-law, the chicken worth nearly a hundred is just a foil for this unwanted pork belly?

After working all day, Mother Song and her son and daughter-in-law dragged their tired bodies towards home.

When I got home, a neighbor greeted me.

"Sister Mei, what's the happy event today? I've eaten meat."

Song's mother was confused: "There is no happy event."

There is one bad thing.

The prodigal third daughter-in-law has reached a new level of tricks.

"There is no happy event, so how do you eat chicken, the smell has come to my house, and my grandson is about to cry."

As soon as the words were finished, the breeze brought a fresh and sweet smell of chicken soup.

Mother Song's complexion changed.

Pei Xiaoxiao slaughtered the old hen at home?

That's a big baby who can lay eggs and sell them in the county every month!
Why didn't Song Qi stop her!

Regardless of greetings, she hurried home.

The faces of the people behind were also not good, and they rushed into the house aggressively.

Selling cows and children but slaughtering old hens.

Do you want to give their house to Huo Huo next time?
Xiao Han immediately yelled: "Pei Xiaoxiao, what are you doing!"

in the hall.

Pei Xiaoxiao just served some soup for the children, and called them over for a drink: "The dishes are not ready yet, let's have some soup first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an angry shout from the door, and frowned.

She stared at Xiao Han with displeasure: "I won't do anything to you."

This……

Everyone who understood: "..."

Song Rui's face was livid: "What are you talking about in front of the children?"

Pei Xiaoxiao was so talkative, she said it out of frustration, and regretted it after she finished speaking.

But thinking of being yelled at for no reason, he still stiffened his neck and said: "What did I do, you better tell me something ugly!"

The few people who had just entered the door had already seen the old hen clucking in the chicken coop, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

Song Qi just arrived at the dinner table with the last dish.

"You still have the strength to yell after being tired all day?" Song's mother said a little bit about Xiao Han, and changed the subject, "Go wash your hands and eat."

Pei Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, and drank the soup by herself.

Everyone washed their hands and sat down.

Mother Song shared the soup with everyone.

She loves all the children in several rooms, she has no preference, and she seems to do the work of sharing meals.

Of course, she has nothing to say about Pei Xiaoxiao's behavior of not paying attention to martial arts and taking the lead in drinking soup by herself.

After all, Pei Xiaoxiao paid for this pot of stuff herself.

The soup spoon picked up a few finger-sized pieces of white meat, and Mother Song gasped, "What is this?"

　Thank you baby for the ticket
