Chapter 25 The truth is here

Pomegranate took her younger brother to help, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of the duck. The remaining little fluff was really impossible to clean up.

It is said that those who kill ducks for others in later generations may not be able to pull out all the ducks left.

Seeing that it was almost done, Pomegranate stopped, and it wouldn't hurt if the duck feathers were eaten.

She carried the duck into the hay shed. Mrs. Song, who was flipping the pot, turned around and saw it. She took it and put it on the cutting board and started chopping it.

With his hands empty, Pomegranate went to the cat pot and sniffed, eh! This original chicken stewed without any seasoning has a unique aroma!
"Mom, please put some more food in there, it will be enough." After all, there are about twenty people in my family, and each person needs to have something to hold with two chopsticks.

Mrs. Song responded without raising her head, "What are you putting there? Logically speaking, wild mushrooms are the best, but we don't have any at home either?"

Pomegranate said: "It would be good to put some ears on the ground. Didn't my eldest sister and I pick up a lot of pigweed in front of our heads?"

When Mrs. Song heard this, she nodded quickly, "Okay, let's stew the chicken more and fragrant pears. Take the ground ears and wash them well."

Li Xiangli answered the call and went. Their homestead was right by the Xishui River, and they couldn't walk more than ten steps. It was very convenient to wash whatever they wanted, and it saved them having to fetch water from the public well in the village.

Pomegranate sat down on the fire place, took the fire stick and put in the firewood.

Mrs. Song quickly chopped the duck, looked at the large pottery bowl full of duck meat, and subconsciously asked her daughter, "Pomegranate, what should I put in this duck meat?"

It's not surprising that she asked this question. After all, her two girls have been with her in the kitchen since they were young. As for this child, Shiliu, she is always clever and can always say something she can't think of. It would be nice to return it. Very.

Just like soaking mint in cold water on a hot day. Over the past few years, when I was so hot that I was sweating profusely, I drank a big mouthful of mint water. Not to mention, it felt so comfortable at the time!

Pomegranate looked at the bowl of dark red duck meat and couldn't help but take a sip of saliva. This was a serious farm duck, purely natural. Even if it was lame, it would not affect its deliciousness.

"Mom, put the taro in!" Roast duck with taro is her favorite!
Mrs. Song couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "You kid, you have a bright mind. Don't mention it, this taro tastes glutinous. It will be delicious when stewed with this duck meat!"

With that said, he told Li Rongzhang to run back to the old house with his legs and feet to ask for milk and bring him half a basket of taro.

There is a large area of ​​taro planted in the Li family's vegetable plot. They dug it up some time ago and found quite a lot.

Li Rongzhang went there jumping up and down.

The chicken stewed in the pot was bubbling, and the aroma rushed out of the hayloft. Everyone who was working on the homestead couldn't help but sip their saliva, and they were so fragrant!

When Li Rongzhang came back with half a basket of taro, the chicken had already been taken out of the pot and the duck meat had just been poured into the pot. Mrs. Song took Li Xiangli to peel the taro and waited for the duck meat to stew for some time before putting it in. The taro is just right.

Li Rongzhang squatted next to Shiliu and inhaled the scent of chicken on the stove, and whispered to Shiliu: "Second sister, I just heard from Brother Hua that a salesman came to the village entrance and picked out a lot of new things! There is something interesting. And sugar!”

Pomegranate listened and looked at him with a smile, "Want some candy?"

Li Rongzhang smiled sheepishly. He was remembering what his father said last night, asking the second sister and the others to come back from the market to buy candies today. Unfortunately, the second sister and the others did not sell the bamboo rats and did not come back with the candies.

The little guy thought that how the pomegranates went and came back today was the same as the Song family, but no one asked more questions, thinking that if they didn't sell, they didn't sell. Anyway, it just took a little effort. .

Strength is the most worthless, no loss.

"The candies sold by that salesman are not delicious, and they are very sticky to the teeth. Come tomorrow, my second sister will make some candies for you!" Pomegranate said.

Li Rongzhang's eyes widened as he listened, "Second sister, you're talking nonsense, you know how to make candy?"

"You don't believe it?" Li Rongzhang didn't believe it at all, his eyes rolled around, "Unless you really cook it for me, second sister, I will believe that you are not lying!"

Pomegranate laughed, "You little naughty boy!"

After laughing, she tapped his nose and whispered to him: "After dinner later, the second sister will take you to the entrance of the village to buy candies!"

Li Rongzhang smiled when he heard that he could buy candies. A tooth that had just grown out during the teething period looked particularly funny in the middle of a row of teeth. "Okay! Buy candies!"

He knew that the second sister was telling lies. How could she know how to make sweets?
By the time the duck meat was wrapped in taro and simmered out of the pot, it was already noon and everyone was hungry. Li Jihe hurriedly called on the bricklayers, apprentices and tribesmen to wash their hands and eat.

There were two straw huts set up in the open space. They were not very spacious, and there were no serious tables and benches. They were built simply by Li Jihe and his son using wooden boards. However, in rural areas, there are not so many details. Everyone crowded and sat in two places. Looking at the two pots of vegetables on the table, their eyes were so fragrant that they didn't care about being particular.

Oh, it’s a chicken and a duck!
Not only did the clan members say it, but the three masters and apprentices of the bricklayer couldn't help but secretly comment: This boss is so generous and honest, he is even willing to kill chickens and ducks to entertain the workers!
Well, I have to work harder to be treated like this!

Everyone ate rice buns, one bite of meat and one bite of taro. In the end, the steamed buns were even dipped in soup and they ate them all.

In the kitchen, Pomegranate, Song, Li Xiangli, and Li Rongzhang were eating a small bowl of chicken and duck. It was such a small bowl, and each person could only eat two or three pieces of meat before it was gone.

Pomegranate ate a few pieces of taro, and was still not satisfied with the duck meat. After all, there was only one chicken and one duck, which was indispensable on the table. She also sent a bowl to her grandma.

She thought that when the new house was built, her family would buy a chicken and a duck to eat happily!

Mrs. Song caught a glimpse of her little girl biting a steamed bun out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but put the uneaten piece of duck meat into her bowl.

Pomegranate was startled and quickly took the duck meat back, "Mom, what are you doing? I've eaten two pieces and you haven't eaten yet!"

Ms. Song blocked her chopsticks and said, "You eat, Mom doesn't like duck meat!" This child probably didn't eat enough for two yuan. Don't worry about buying chicken or duck to eat. That's unbearable.

I have to say that Pomegranate's expression of wanting to eat meat didn't hide it from this mother-in-law.

There is no one who doesn’t like eating meat, only mothers who are devoted to their children.

Pomegranate quickly took the chance and stuffed the duck meat back into Song's bowl, then put down her chopsticks smoothly and winked at Li Rongzhang, "Brother! Are you satisfied? After you eat, let's go kill the pigs!"

They set up a new stove, but the pigs in the old house still had to get pigweed from different rooms every day. Today, it was their turn to cut the pigweed.

It was Li Xiangli who took Li Rongzhang to fight in the morning.

When Li Rongzhang heard what Pomegranate said, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, grabbed half of the bun head in his hand, stood up and followed Pomegranate.

The siblings took their backpacks and sickles and ran out.

Mrs. Song looked at it and couldn't help but shake her head, "Why is this kid always so arrogant?"

Li Xiangli pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Second sister has been like this since she was a child. She does whatever she says. She always does it according to the rules. I think there is nothing wrong with this."

Mrs. Song couldn't help but smile as she listened.

The grown-up girl is gentle and gentle, like her, but the little girl's temperament is like her. I don't know who she is. However, a woman is most relaxed when she is a girl in her life, so just let her be.

As for the reputation of being married? Feng Feng Huo Huo is also neat and tidy, and some people like that neat wife!
