Chapter 14 Fried Escargot

A few days have passed, and almost all the fish in the river have been caught, but they still haven't figured out how to make fish balls, and the fish balls they make have a strong smell.

Some people don't believe in this evil and plan to set up a stall with their own fish balls.

After eating, seeing that there was no one around the river, Meng Qingning took the Lu family siblings to the river.

When she was catching fish, she discovered that there were a lot of snails in the river. Now that she had perilla sauce, she planned to fry some snails for her two children as snacks.

As soon as I arrived, I found that all the fish in the river had been caught.

Thinking that there was not much fish left at home, it would be a lie to say that she could not lose it. After all, fish balls were her first business.

But after the sadness passed, she became full of energy again, and she had to plan other businesses.

Not long after picking it up, someone came over smelling the smell and said, "Wife praying for good luck, what are you doing?" The person who came was Aunt Liu who lived next door to them.

This person has been appearing next to them from time to time recently. It is obvious what his intentions are. Meng Qingning was not angry and said with a smile, "We are picking up snails. Auntie, would you like to pick some too."

Aunt Liu stretched her neck and became even more curious after seeing the contents of their bucket, "Niece-in-law, what is the use of this thing?"

Feeling that she had almost picked it up, Meng Qingning didn't hide it, "Auntie, take this thing back and wash it clean. It will be delicious if you fry it."

"Is this really edible?"

Although Aunt Liu felt it was magical when she heard this, she didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this was not the main purpose of her coming.

"Aren't you here to catch fish?"

"Of course not." Meng Qingning packed her things and went home, deliberately pretending not to understand anything and said, "Everyone has almost caught all the fish in the river. If Auntie comes to catch fish, it will be a little late. "

After saying that, he took the two children and left.

After they left, Aunt Liu and her children asked Aunt Liu slightly disgustedly, "Mom, are you sure this food is edible?"

How is this different from a larger snail?
Aunt Liu smiled broadly, "You are stupid. If you can't eat it, why are they picking up so much?"

As he said that, he went to get the tools without stopping.

Lu Qinan and Lu Qiyu were also full of doubts, but now they were accustomed to following Meng Qingning's arrangements, and they always felt that anything in her hands could become delicious.

When she got home, Wang had made all the remaining fish into fish balls.

Wang is very talented in cooking. She almost mastered it after watching Meng Qingning do it twice.

Looking at the snails they brought, I couldn't help but wonder, "Ning'er, is this delicious?"

"It's very delicious." She couldn't help but lick her tongue when she thought of the deliciousness of the snails.

In summer, her favorite thing is to go to the beer stand and eat some snails with beer.

After all, with her financial ability at that time, there were not many things she could afford.

Thinking of the snails at the beer stand, an idea came to me.

They could fry some snails and sell them together with the fish balls.

Although this thing is troublesome to eat, it still tastes good when eaten as a snack.

The family packed everything in advance in the evening.

During the meal, she fried a plate of snails as promised. It had been a long time since she had eaten something she liked, and she felt a sense of happiness.

Food can really heal life.

However, Lu Zhengting felt that eating this food was not troublesome.

"Is this possible?" he asked.

Meng Qingning's attitude was that she wouldn't suffer any consequences if she tried, so everyone prepared everything for setting up the stall the next day.

The family got up early the next day as usual, and just when they were about to go out, Aunt Liu sneakily came to the door of the house.

The moment she opened the door, her eyes looked back and forth between them.

"I'm going to set up a stall." His tone was very natural, without any embarrassment.

How could everyone not know what she was thinking? In an attitude not to offend anyone, Meng Qingning said nothing.

She exchanged a few words with Mr. Wang, but seeing that she couldn't find out anything, she had no choice but to let them go. "Did you see Auntie's expression just now?"

On the way, Lu Qinan felt very funny when he thought of Aunt Liu's depressed expression just now.

"They are all neighbors, so don't offend them if you can." Lu Zhengting sighed.

In the past, he only wanted to be kind to others. Recently, the hardest thing in the world to guess is the human heart.

Meng Qingning has been going up the mountain every day recently, and her physical strength is much better than before. She can obviously keep up with the others this time.

Soon they arrived at the market town, and Aunt Wang had prepared what they needed.

No matter what, Yang Qianni decided to set up a stall with them this time.

Wang took out the perilla sauce they brought and said that Meng Qingning specially prepared it for her aunt.

Aunt Wang was very happy after hearing this. Then she thought of something, wiped her tears again, and looked at Meng Qingning with pity.

"If we were still here, we would definitely like this girl very much."

When Lu Qinian was mentioned, everyone's expressions became a little sad.

Wang also began to wipe tears.

Meng Qingning didn't feel much about it. She had never met Lu Qinian, let alone had any feelings for each other. The only relationship she had was probably because he was the son of Lu's father and Lu's mother.

"Why are you talking about all this?" At this time, my uncle Yang Erhu came out of the room and said angrily, "Don't ruin everyone's happiness on such a wonderful day."

He is a very strong man, but his conversation is very frank.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I also want to try your fish balls today." After saying this, he beckoned a few children to start moving things.

He has been working nearby and was free to help today.

"Keep it, I've left some just for you this time." Wang also came out of her sadness just now.

After setting up the stall, Aunt Wang and her family left.

Setting up a stall this time was much more familiar, and it saved a lot of time compared to last time.

However, their keen eyes discovered that there were several more vendors in the market, some of whom were villagers from Shangyang Village.

Especially Aunt Liu’s family whom I met in the morning.

Meng Qingning pretended not to see this.

"They also sell fish balls?" Lu Qinan's face turned red with anger, "It's so shameless. No wonder they were staring at us with a sly look in the morning."

"You can use idioms, not bad." Meng Qingning stroked her head like an old mother, which made Lu Qinan, who had been furious just now, slowly calm down. She continued to comfort her, "Sometimes It’s also good to have competition.”

At first, the Lu family seemed to understand this sentence, but they would soon understand it.

While it was still early, Meng Qingning started frying snails.

She began to clean up the things on the stall in an orderly manner. She first boiled the washed snails for about ten minutes, and then washed them several times.

After the oil is hot, add the aniseed and your own special perilla sauce and start stir-frying.

Soon the fragrance spread throughout the street.

The unique taste attracted many people to come and watch.

"Girl, what are you cooking in this pot?"

The vegetable seller was busy setting up the stall and didn't bother to say hello. When she smelled the fragrance, she couldn't help but come over.

When Meng Qingning saw that it was almost fried, she was not stingy and served some to her. She also gave her a homemade toothpick, "Auntie, this thing is called snail. Try it."

The aunt was embarrassed, but couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. After serving it, she took a bite using the method taught by Meng Qingning.

A numb and spicy novel feeling instantly envelopes the taste.

He asked in surprise, "What did you use to fry this? Why is it so fragrant?"

As soon as Meng Qingning picked up the perilla sauce, Lu Qiyu rushed to say, "This is perilla sauce. The stir-fried vegetables are very fragrant."
