Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 31 Open a small stove
One thing Bai Shao said was that it was too ugly, which made her feel very angry, and the other was that it mentioned the place she was most afraid of, the prison.

So she was angry, annoyed and afraid, and wanted to scold Bai Shao, but what happened just yesterday made her fear Bai Shao again.

At that time, the little girl's eyes and the deep light in them frightened Mrs. Liu.

So now, facing Bai Shao's almost provocative words, Liu did not get angry, but just lowered his head and muttered something.

"Grandma." Bai Shao continued to smile calmly, "Grandma probably doesn't think so, after all, only those vicious stepmothers would want their children to go to prison. Grandma is my father's mother, right? .”

"Yes, yes..." Seeing Bai Shao laying a step for herself, Mrs. Liu hurried down, "You were born by me, how could I, how could I expect him to go to prison."

"That pork?" Bai Shao frowned, "What should I do with the eight catties of meat?"

"You don't need to buy it, this is enough for the family." Liu's expression was vaguely reluctant, "Let's talk after eating these, third child, give me the money."

Bai Chuanbai hastily handed over the thirteen Wen coins that were carried by the small cloth strips to Mrs. Liu, then pulled Bai Shao and Bai Wei, and left the main room.

In the room on the west side, Mrs. Wu had already read the Three Character Classic to the third page. Seeing their masters coming back, she hurriedly put down the book and asked in a hurry, "I seem to have heard the cry of the child's mother just now, but what's going on?"

"It's the pork..." Bai Chuanbai was about to tell Wu Shi honestly.

Bai Shao glanced at Bai Wei, and rushed in front of Bai Chuanbai and said, "Mother, it's okay, it's not like you don't know my grandma's temper, if you're good, you can't wait to get angry, to show her status in our family."

"That's right." Bai Wei lowered her head and agreed.

In this way, Mrs. Wu also believed it, "You guys, don't you want to learn how to read, come and let me teach you."

Bai Shao pulled Bai Wei, and sat obediently on the edge of the bed, listening to Wu's recitation of the Three Character Classic word by word.

Until Mrs. Qian made breakfast, the whole family ate breakfast together.

It was still the same as before, one stewed leftovers, two stir-fried vegetables, one of which had meat in the tender beans, full of delicious fragrance, and several children of the Bai family glanced at it several times.

It's a pity that Mrs. Liu didn't give it to anyone, so she just ate like this, and occasionally gave Mr. Bai a chopstick, but most of them fell into Mrs. Liu's stomach.

As for the old man Bai once said, "everyone can eat stir-fried vegetables from now on", it seems to have been forgotten.

After a meal, cover up the leftovers, Qian Shi and Bai Kou Niang went to wash the dishes, Bai Wei took the rice for Wu Shi, went back to the west side room, helped Wu Shi up, and put a mattress behind her , and handed the meal to her.

Because she has been lying on the bed all the time, she has nothing to consume, so Wu shi only ate half a bowl and couldn't eat any more.

"Wei'er, Shao'er, Yunshi, are you full? If you're not full, I still have some here." Wu asked softly to the three children.

"I'm full." Bai Wei is the eldest sister, so she replied instead of her younger siblings, "Mother, my uncle made fried pork with tender beans today, my milk tastes delicious."

"Stir-fried pork with tender beans..." Wu's hand paused, "Actually, stewed bean sprouts are also quite good, and soybean sprouts are delicious and nutritious..."

After speaking, as if afraid that Bai Wei would not believe it, he took another big mouthful.

Bai Wei and Bai Shao are laughing at the side.

Wu's lack of food is a knot in the hearts of the two sisters, and they are afraid that something will happen to Wu's.

Later, Bai Wei came up with the idea and came up with this method to let Wu Shi eat more.

After Wu shi had eaten most of the bowl of rice and couldn't take it anymore, Bai Wei took the rice and handed it to Bai Yunshi to let him eat it all before going to wash the bowl.

"Sister, do you want fried pork with tender beans?" Bai Shao squatted in front of the big basin, watching Bai Wei skillfully wash the dishes.

Although I deliberately mentioned this today to make Wu shi eat more, in fact, Bai Shao noticed that Bai Wei also glanced at the direction of the tender bean fried meat several times today, that's why she asked this question.

"Why, do you want to eat?" Bai Wei thought it was Bai Shao who wanted to eat, after all, Bai Shao was only seven years old, it's normal for a child of this age to be greedy.

"No." Bai Shao shook his head, "I just feel that I eat soybean sprouts every day, and I don't see a meaty smell, and my mouth is always pale."

"Let your brother catch small fish for you to eat later." Bai Wei glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one there, she quietly whispered in Bai Shao's ear.

Bai Shao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

She said, Mrs. Liu is so domineering and selfish, she refuses to give anyone a bite of meat, why are they so tolerant, it turns out they know how to make small mistakes.

"Sister, is it true that Uncle Niang and Sister Kou'er can also open small stoves..." Bai Shao hesitated for a while, and finally asked curiously.

"I don't know about others, but Fourth Uncle..." While Bai Wei was speaking, Bai Chuanqiong lifted the curtain, wiped his mouth, and walked out of the main room.

After seeing the Bai Shao sisters, he smiled at them, turned around and went back to the house.

"Silly Shao'er, don't even take a look at it. There was a lot of stir-fried vegetables left in the last meal, but there will be a lot less in the next meal." Bai Wei said a little angrily, "On the surface, our milk can be served with a bowl of water. But actually, after everyone finished eating, Grandma called Fourth Uncle over and let him eat stir-fried vegetables."

"Fourth uncle, he eats small stoves..." Bai Shao hesitated, "Then everyone doesn't know?"

"Hmph, I don't know. My grandma did it in a very secretive way. I think that except for my aunt who knows a little bit, everyone else is at most doubtful, but not sure. I was also sure because I accidentally saw it one day." Bai slightly lowered his voice.

"Really..." Bai Shao grinned, not knowing what words to use to describe Liu Shi.

This person is eccentric...it's really outrageous.

"Forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, after so many years, everyone is used to it. No matter how you cook in secret, on the bright side, the stir-fried vegetables are milk, and we can't touch them." His bowl fell with the other bowls, and after washing his hands with acacia, he took Bai Shao's hand and whispered, "Let's go, I'll get you some small fish to eat today."

After finishing speaking, she ran to the west side house, took out a small bottle similar to vinegar, ran to the pot house, secretly dug some lard, took another basket and a small iron basin, followed Mrs. Liu said that she was going to cut Lalayang, and the three children went out.

Going west all the way, after leaving the village, they walked about another mile, and the three of them stopped by a small stream.

"That's right here, Shao'er, you're still young, stay up there with the basket in your arms, and Yun Shi and I will go down to fish." Bai Wei handed the basket to Bai Shao, and told her not to run around, and then she got off. He took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and together with Bai Yunshi, went down to the stream to touch fish.

Although she is a girl, Bai Wei's movements are very quick and she is not afraid of water, and she touched three finger-sized fish in a short time.Bai Yunshi didn't give in too much, and caught four fish.

"Here, Shao'er will continue." Bai Shao laughed and threw the fish ashore, and Bai Shao was responsible for picking it up and putting it into the basket.

In about half an hour, I caught about thirty small and thin fish, filling the bottom of the whole basket.

"Okay, that's all. You can't catch it all at once, or you won't be able to eat it next time." Bai Wei and Bai Yun found a deeper place, washed their legs and feet, and put on their shoes.

"These fish, shall we take them home and eat them?" Bai Shao frowned, because there was only one cooking place in the Bai family, and that was the pot house.

Once the pot house is used to cook, Mrs. Liu must know.

Once Mrs. Liu finds out, these little fishes may only be able to drink soup.

But if you don't take it back, what can you do?

Soon, Bai Wei gave the answer.

She quickly found a few stones to build them up, and then took out the iron basin in the basket, put lard in it, and lit it on fire.

Finally, I went to a clean stream to squeeze out the internal organs of the small fish. When I came back, the oil was hot, so Bai Wei folded two twigs to use as wooden chopsticks, and slowly lowered the small fish. in hot oil.

Accompanied by the sound of sizzling, a burst of fresh fragrance floated to the tip of Bai Shao's nose.

It's been a few days since she came to this world, and Bai Shao has never eaten a mouthful of meat. Now, she really can't help drooling.

Bai Wei giggled beside him, "Little greedy cat."

As he said, the small fish in the hot oil was almost cooked, Bai Wei took the small fish out with wooden chopsticks, shook the oil slightly, and blew it on his mouth before handing it to Bai Shao's mouth side.

Bai Shao subconsciously opened his mouth, and suddenly, a burst of original fresh fragrance came into his mouth.

Although there is no salty taste and no seasoning, this little fish is so delicious that tears filled her eyes.

"Is it delicious?" Bai Wei took another one for Bai Yunshi to eat, and finally gave it to himself.

"Delicious." Bai Shao nodded without hesitation.

"It's delicious, I'll eat more for you." Bai smiled, and put all the small fish into the hot oil, and when they were cooked, they didn't come out, so he turned off the fire, took the iron bowl, Sitting by the creek.

Three children, you took a bite and I ate more than half of the small fish inside.

As for the rest, of course it was left to Wu Shi.

Pour out the remaining little oil, leaving only a dozen or so small fish under the basket. After erecting them with a few wooden sticks, and covering them, they are all lala seedlings.

The excuse that came out before was to cut and pull the rice seedlings, but now that they don't bring back a basket, Liu's fear that they can't finish with them.

Bai Wei seized the time, and the three of them played for a while after cutting the lala seedlings, and when it was almost time for dinner, they returned to Bai's house slowly with a basket on their backs.

I thought that after yesterday and today's beatings, Mrs. Liu could be more honest, Mrs. Bai could be calm for a while, Mrs. Wu could be more comfortable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped through the door, Bai Ying, who had been waiting for a long time, ran to Bai Wei and said loudly, "You are back, Sister Wei'er, hurry up, Third Aunt is almost blind from crying."
