Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 18 Offending
Hearing this, Qin Yuyao's face immediately sank. The little girl is smart and clever, but she has no patience. She didn't even confirm it. She actually said that what she brought was stinky fish.

"You are talking nonsense, my mother caught it from the river!" Bao'er said angrily.

Liu Xiaomei sneered, and said in a crackling and sharp voice: "Your mother caught it? Who are you lying to? There is not even a stone in the Xiushui River, and you can't get your foot down or get out of the net. Even my father can't catch fish." , how did your mother catch the fish?"

"Xiaomei shut up, don't talk nonsense." Liu Yujie who heard the voice came out of the room, came to Qin Yuyao's side, and gave Qin Yuyao an apologetic look.Lifting the cloth on the basket, he glanced at the fish in the basket, raised his head and said to Liu Xiaomei: "Come and see, it's clearly a good fish, please apologize to Big Auntie."

Liu Xiaomei walked over with her mouth pursed, her heart full of disapproval, what kind of person is the Qin family?It's just that they feel that their family is easy to bully, so they come to eat and drink.But my mother thought she was pitiful, and often helped her. At noon, she picked up a large piece of rabbit meat and gave it to her, and she didn't even eat a few bites.Reluctantly, he walked over, and when he saw the obviously fresh silver carp inside, his eyes widened in astonishment: "Really, it's really a fish!"

"What is it if it's not a fish?" Bao'er stood beside Qin Yuyao, pursing her lips and said disdainfully, not to mention how proud she was in her big eyes.

Liu Xiaomei ignored his provocation, looked up at Qin Yuyao excitedly and said, "You caught it? How did you catch it?"

Qin Yuyao raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't answer her.

Immediately, Liu Xiaomei took two steps back with a smile, and made a small bow: "Please don't be angry, aunt. I said something wrong. I apologize to aunt."

Qin Yuyao is an adult, so naturally she doesn't have the same knowledge as a little girl in movies.What's more, Liu Xiaomei has a straightforward temperament to admit when she is wrong.Then he nodded and said, "I caught it. I don't have any condiments there, so I can't make it taste good, so I brought it here."

"I have condiments at home, if my aunt wants to use them, just come here." Liu Xiaomei took the basket from Qin Yuyao's hand with a smile, and said crisply: "We are all a family, aunt, you are welcome, please come in, please come in .”

The little girl who had looked coldly just now suddenly became so attentive, which made Qin Yuyao a little dumbfounded.Turning his head to look at Liu Yujie, he asked, "Aren't uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters coming back soon?"

Liu Yujie looked at the sky and replied, "It's coming soon. They told Xiaomei to go home to boil the water. At this moment, counting the time, it should be on the way back."

"That's just right, I'll cook, and when they come back, they should eat ready-made food." Qin Yuyao rolled up her sleeves and said to Liu Xiaomei who was walking in front: "Come and help me, cook for your grandma and the others." .” Then he said to Liu Yujie next to him, “Sister, just help me look after Bao’er.”

Liu Yujie hurriedly said: "How can I do that? How can I ask Eldest Sister to cook? Eldest Sister and Bao'er go to the eaves to cool off, and I will go with Xiaomei." Although she said that, her feet didn't move immediately.

Qin Yuyao smiled faintly: "You're going to get married soon, so you don't have to do such rough work." The girls in the village are different from the spoiled young ladies in the city. Grind out thick calluses.Many families who love their daughters will not let their girls do work before they get married, and take good care of their hands, so that they are delicate and tender, so that they will be loved by their husbands when they arrive at their husband's house.So Liu Yujie's insincere words, although not so pleasing, there is nothing to hate.

After hearing Qin Yuyao's words, Liu Yujie hesitated for a while, and blushed slightly: "That's fine."

"I'll cook with my eldest aunt, and my little aunt will go and embroider your dowry, so I won't be too late, hee hee." Liu Xiaomei ran over and said.

Liu Yujie was a little ashamed, and reached out her hand to touch her forehead: "Little girl, if you talk nonsense again, twist your mouth."

"Bao'er, follow my aunt into the house, and be obedient." Qin Yuyao touched Bao'er's head and instructed.

"Yeah." Bao'er nodded obediently.Liu Yujie then led Bao'er into the house, and said as she walked, "Your ambitious brother will be back in a while, so you wait for him in the house."

"Auntie, let's cook." Liu Xiaomei couldn't wait any longer, her nimble body was like a wild cat, and she snorted into the kitchen with a basket on her shoulders.Qin Yuyao followed behind and walked in, her gaze fell on the condiments on the side of the stove.

Li's family is hardworking and capable from top to bottom, even the two children Liu Youzhi and Liu Xiaomei are no exception.Therefore, although Li's family was not rich, they never lacked rice or noodles.I saw a lot of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and sugar in the kitchen.

"Auntie, how did you catch the fish?" While Qin Yuyao was observing, Liu Xiaomei had already rinsed the fish quickly and put them in the basin.

Qin Yuyao looked away, and pointed at Liu Xiaomei towards the stove: "Go and light the fire."

"Oh." Liu Xiaomei gathered a pile of flammable leaves, started to light a fire, and asked without giving up, "Auntie, how did you catch the fish? Can you teach me?"

Qin Yuyao couldn't help turning her head to look at her: "Do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn! I want to learn!" Liu Xiaomei nodded desperately, looking at Qin Yuyao with burning eyes, as if she was about to burn with enthusiasm.

Qin Yuyao looked up and down: "Wait until you grow up."

Liu Xiaomei pouted, a little unhappy.Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Qin Yuyao's next move, and couldn't help opening his mouth wide.Qin Yuyao picked up the silver carp from the basin, picked up a clean cage cloth to wipe off the water from the fish, threw the fish onto the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife and dropped it with his hand. into several paragraphs.This action was fast and accurate, handsome and capable, and Liu Xiaomei was stunned.

Qin Yuyao looked at the condiments by the stove. Although the Li family is capable, they are farmers after all, so it is very rare for them to be willing to eat oil and salt on weekdays. They did not prepare other condiments.Several recipes flashed through my mind, and I finally decided to make a sweet and sour fish.

At this time the pot was already hot, Qin Yuyao poured two tablespoons of oil into it, then quickly peeled off a section of the back of the onion, split it into four strands, and chopped the onion into fine pieces.Liu Xiaomei was about to complain about Qin Yuyao's waste of oil, but when she saw Qin Yuyao's neat knife skills, she was surprised and forgot what to say.

The oil in the pot was hot, and there was a wisp of smoke coming out.Qin Yuyao poured the minced green onion into the pot, picked up the shovel and pulled it a few times. When the fragrance of the green onion came out, she put the fish pieces into the pot and fried it.Bursts of fragrance wafted out, luring Liu Xiaomei to swallow her saliva.If there were any complaints just now, they will all be thrown out of the sky now!
Liu Xiaomei has long heard that this aunt is capable, but she didn't believe it before, but seeing her now, she is not only capable, she is simply too capable!His eyes were fixed on Qin Yuyao's movements, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
