Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 77 Making Preserved Eggs (1)
"Oh, auntie, don't say that. How have I seen such a big world?" Chen Matchmaker didn't finish her sentence, but Zhao took the silk from her hand, and her expression changed.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to notice, she folded the piece of flowers and said to Chen Matchmaker: "My Yujie embroidered until midnight last night, and I don't have time this morning. She should be resting. Let's go somewhere else." talk in your room?"

"No need." Matchmaker Chen turned cold, looked at Mrs. Zhao and Liu Yujie a few times, and sneered: "I've never seen such a family who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges so quickly. I just learned a lot today!" Turning around and raising her foot, immediately gone.

However, the footsteps were not fast, as if waiting for Mrs. Zhao to change her mind, and pulled her back to coax her.Unexpectedly, until he reached the door, Mrs. Zhao did not speak, so he gritted his teeth bitterly and walked away quickly.

Inside the room, Mrs. Zhao stuffed Hua Luo into Liu Yujie's arms and said, "Why are you so loose? You don't know how hard it is to get something back once it's in her hands?"

Liu Yujie was so scolded that she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm afraid I might tear the cloth."

"Are you afraid of offending her?" Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Obviously your mother, your sister-in-law, and even your niece are not weak-tempered, so why is it just you who have no backbone? Your elder sister bought this thing for you Yes, you shouldn't let it fall into other hands anyway."

After being taught a lesson, Liu Yujie lowered her head and said, "Yes, mother, I understand." Biting her lip, she was thinking in her heart, isn't she doing it for the good of her family?If you offend Matchmaker Chen, it will be a hindrance to this marriage, and won't it be the family who will lose face then?

Touching Hualuo in his hand, he thought again in his heart, anyway, he either bought it with his own money, or it was cheaper for Matchmaker Chen, so what?

After leaving Li's house, Qin Yuyao walked all the way to the house at the end of the village.Along the way, nothing happened.

When she came to the gate of the courtyard and pushed it open, Qin Yuyao walked into the small fenced courtyard, only to see that the door was still closed as before leaving.Qin Yuyao pushed the door lightly and went in, only to see that Bao'er hadn't woken up yet, she was lying on the bed sprawled at this moment, with her mouth slightly open, soundly asleep.

And the little fox curled up on his belly, heard the sound of pushing the door, opened his eyes and glanced this way.Seeing that it was Qin Yuyao, she closed her eyes again, yawned a little, patted her furry ears with her little paws, and continued to sleep.

Qin Yuyao couldn't help smiling when she saw this, which was why she felt relieved to leave Bao'er alone at home - even Si Luo could be hurt, this little fox is obviously not a vegetarian.As long as the little fox is around, no one else can get close to Bao'er.

Glancing at the stove, she saw that there was not much firewood at home, so Qin Yuyao put on a small basket and went out to collect firewood.Relying on Tianzhu Mountain and Xiushui River, there are fallen leaves and dead branches that can be picked up everywhere.Qin Yuyao walked all the way along the Xiushui River, and after a while, she picked up a basket full of dry firewood.

On the way back, I saw a few snails gathered in the shallow water of Xiushui River, the shells were covered with thick green moss, crowded together into a small pile.Qin Yuyao was overjoyed, remembered the location, brought the firewood home, and brought out the basin.He bent down and squatted down, rolled up his sleeves and put all the two pools of snails into the basin, then flicked and threw the small snails back into the water.

No matter in terms of taste or in terms of protecting the ecological environment, the small snails should be thrown back.Carrying the basin and walking back, Qin Yuyao thought to herself, even if the snails can't be sold for money, frying them and eating them on weekdays is still very satisfying.Immediately thinking of Bao'er's rogue eyes when he ate snails for the first time, he couldn't help laughing.

The freshly picked snails can't be eaten right away, but need to be soaked for three or four days, so Qin Yuyao put the basin in the yard and didn't care about it.Instead, he took a handful of firewood, went into the house and put it by the stove, preparing to pack the meat he bought today.There is no refrigerator here. If you don't pack it out quickly, it will break down soon.

It's a pity that there are no cars or buses here, so it's very inconvenient to buy, so Qin Yuyao can't help but want to buy more when she goes to the city.After washing the two pieces of pork and beef in the basin with clean water, they put them on the chopping board and cut them.

The kitchen knife fell on the chopping board and made a "dong dong" sound, which woke up Bao'er: "Mother?"

"It's nothing, you can continue to sleep." Qin Yuyao raised her head and looked over, comforting her in a soft voice, reducing the force of the knife in her hand.

Bao'er rubbed her eyes, yawned, and lay down to sleep again.

Controlling her strength, Qin Yuyao cut the pork and beef into small pieces and put them in different bowls.Then light the fire and start boiling the pot.After a while, the pot heated up.Qin Yuyao poured oil into it, and when the oil surface smoked, she poured a bowl of pork cubes into it.

"Zi la—" The raw meat was put into the pot, making loud noises.

"Mother?" Bao'er turned over and sat up when she heard the voice, and looked at Qin Yuyao.This time he really woke up and turned over to get out of bed.The little fox that was lying on his stomach was squeezed down at this moment, and let out a dissatisfied "squeak".Bao'er got off the bed, flicked her hind paw vigorously, jumped up and squatted on Bao'er's shoulder, and got out of bed with Bao'er.

"Mother will fry meat for you." Qin Yuyao flipped the spatula, bending down from time to time to put a handful of firewood under the pot.

In the scorching heat of summer, Qin Yuyao sweated quickly while being smoked by oil and roasted by the flames of the stove.The skirt on the back was probably already soaked, Qin Yuyao didn't have time to take care of it, but occasionally raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat off her face.

Unexpectedly, this scene fell into Bao'er's eyes.Looking at Qin Yuyao who was frying meat by the stove with big eyes, he suddenly turned around, went to the bedside and held the cattail fan in his hand, then ran over and stood behind Qin Yuyao to fan her Come.

Qin Yuyao felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and it suddenly became much cooler, so she couldn't help turning around to look.Seeing Bao'er hugging the cattail fan and struggling to fan the wind, he felt a little moved in his heart.Putting down the shovel, walked over to hold Bao'er's face, and kissed him on the forehead: "Mother's good baby."

Bao'er pursed her lips, lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "Mother will cook for Bao'er, and Bao'er will fan for Mother."

"Then let's start separately!" Qin Yuyao touched Bao'er's head, turned around and stood by the stove and started frying the meat again.

Since Bao'er has this heart, Qin Yuyao doesn't have to let her down.Enjoying the wind from the little guy, the pork pieces in the pot were quickly cooked.

Sprinkle with a handful of salt, dish out the pork cubes, and let them dry in the shade.It is too hot in summer, and it is difficult to store meat at room temperature. Add more oil and salt, fry it and put it in a cool place, and it can be stored for two or three days longer.Then he did the same thing, fried another bowl of beef cubes, and put them all in a cool, backlit place to dry.
