Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 178 Cola Chicken Wings
The old lady nodded, "That's not it. If you want to say, every daughter-in-law who has survived for a thousand years becomes a mother-in-law, that's how it is for any woman. But when it's our own child's turn, I can't bear it. I always want to keep her for two more years. However, old sister-in-law, speaking of it, I do have something that I would like to ask you to inquire about."

"Oh? What's the matter, old girl?" Grandma Li put down the half-eaten Changbai cake in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and asked.

"It's not a big deal. The old sister-in-law has also heard about it. Recently, I hired a husband to enlighten Huzi. There are two more people in the family, and there are many housework on weekdays. Only Xiaohua'er and a girl are too busy. Xianxian and Shuan Shuan couldn't come here because he wanted to avoid suspicion, so I thought about hiring someone to be my helper, my wife has a lot of connections, so can anyone recommend me a suitable one."

"Well, let me think about it." Grandma Li pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up suddenly, "Hey, I really remembered something. A few days ago, I was gossiping with the head of the village and his second aunt. Her natal family has a cousin who has been widowed for two years now and has never had any children. The village intends to ask her to remarry and take back the land, but she is a long-term lover and refuses to remarry. She is in a state of tension. Listen to his second aunt Said that woman is a very diligent and clean person on weekdays, if she can be hired as a helper, she would be a good candidate. Why don't you ask his second aunt to go back to her mother's house and ask him."
The more the old lady listened, the more satisfied she was. Just as she was about to agree, she suddenly remembered that her family's situation was a bit special. Her son didn't have a wife now. If she really hired a young and beautiful widow to come back, in case something happened, her family Just don't even think about looking up.So he hesitated for a while, and asked, "Old sister-in-law, that woman...is she a good character?"

Grandma Li guessed what she was worried about, and waved her hands with a face of reproach, "Old girl, do you think I look like that person who has no winks? The woman is almost forty this year, and she is a long-term lover. If you are willing to come The helper will definitely not cause any trouble. However, let’s talk about this matter first, and we still need to ask about it.”

"That's right, then I have to trouble my old sister-in-law to ask Zhang Luo. Our family is in charge of food and clothes for four seasons, and we still have a monthly salary of [-] Wen. If the woman has any concerns, we will not force it. If she does not want to sign a long-term It’s fine to sign a short contract for three years.” The old lady was relieved, and talked about wages and other things with a smile.

Grandma Li smiled and said, "The wages are not low. All right, I'll take over this matter. It's really a merit for the poor girl to find a place to hide. All right, I'll sit there too." It's been a while, so I don't want to delay any more, so I'll stop by his second aunt and ask." After speaking, she stood up, and the old lady also stood up and pulled her back to say a few more words.

Mu Ai took the box of dim sum from Xiao An, and said with a smile, "Grandma, this box of dim sum was just made at noon, take it back and give it to the children to taste."

Grandma Li smiled, "A few days ago your third uncle came back and told me that the dim sum shop opened by Xianxian in the city is very famous now, old girl, you are really blessed, and old sister-in-law, I will follow suit gone."

The grandfather and grandson sent her to the second gate, and happened to meet Ouyang who brought a group of children back. All the little faces were flushed, and the temples and forehead were slightly wet. It was obvious that they had exhausted a lot of energy, but the expressions of the children were still there. That's right, not only was he not so tired that his head slumped, but he was a little excited.

The children said hello to Grandma Li in unison, and the happy old lady praised her before leaving.

Xing'er slipped into her mother's arms and said, "Mom, Xing'er is thirsty."

Mu Ai bent down and picked her up, and said with a smile, "We are lucky to be tired from practicing martial arts. Go back to the house with mom, and mom will bring you something delicious." Saying this, she nodded to Ouyang who was standing next to her with her arms down, and turned around Entered the second door together with the old lady.

As soon as Simba and Cheng'er heard that there was something delicious, they immediately ran in and shouted in their small mouths, "Mom (aunt), I'm thirsty too!" Dayu and Tao'er also followed with smiles.

Seeing her granddaughter getting so close to the children, the old lady also became happy, and happily went back to the Dongkua courtyard to continue basking in the sun.

Mu Ai walked into the hall with a few steps, put down her little daughter, and ordered Chun Equinox to fetch a few small celadon bowls, and then took out the only bottle of Coke in the space. Since she had a space, fresh fruits can be eaten at any time. I seldom drink such things as Coke, and this bottle was brought with me when I went to the supermarket to stock up on daily necessities.

Each of the children held a small bowl, and looked at the contents which were similar to soy sauce, slightly hesitant.Dayu took a sip first, and then said with a look of surprise, "Mom, this...is so sandy. It seems that there are bubbles moving in his mouth."

When Simba and Cheng'er heard that it was so fun, they immediately took a big sip, then nodded at the same time, and shouted, "Something is jumping."

Xing'er also nodded her head, "Mom, this tea is really fun."

"Silly girl, this is not tea, it's called Coke. Unfortunately, Mom has only one bottle here, and the remaining half of the bottle will be cooked for you at night, and I will keep it for you to eat." Mu Ai took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her. Wipe the corner of his mouth. "Hurry up and drink, after drinking, go to take a bath, rest for a while, and mother will send someone to call you when the meal is ready."

The children obediently responded, finished drinking the coke in the bowl, saluted their mother, and went back to their rooms.

Mu Ai leaned on the soft couch, sorted out the family's daily accounts for this month, raised her eyes to see that it was getting late, and told Xiao'an, "Go to Dongkua courtyard to see if the old lady is still outside. It's getting late, help her in." The house is resting."

"Yes." Xiao An agreed and went.Spring Equinox poured a cup of hot tea, held it with both hands, Mu Ai took it, and remembered the medical center that was being remodeled, and said, "Mu Liu is a clever man, and he asked your father to help us renovate the yard in our house. In a few days, I will I'm going to check on the progress, you go together when the time comes, and meet your family by the way."

A gleam of joy flashed in Chun Equinox's eyes, and he quickly saluted, "Mrs. Xie."

"Okay, it's getting late, come with me to the kitchen to prepare dinner."

Mu Ai changed into a cyan burlap apron and sleeves, and took Chun Equinox Kexin and her sisters to the kitchen.Spring Equinox quickly washed the rice and steamed it on the small stove, Ke Xin cut the vegetables, Mu Ai took out the last small pot of chicken wings stored in the space, five children of her own, plus their servants Maid, there are fifteen children in total, at least fifty or sixty will be eaten, anyway, there is only the last half bottle of Coke left, I am afraid that there will be no chance to make this dish in the future, so it is better to eat one at a time.

Put the chicken wings in a water basin, put a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, after soaking for half an hour, use a knife to draw a few lines on the wings, it is best to see the bones deeply, so that during the cooking process, Easier to taste.

Then put the modified knife wings into the chicken wings and blanch for 2 minutes, remove the blood foam, then take them out, brush the small pot clean, do not put oil, burn it dry, pour it directly into the chicken wings, stir fry five or six times quickly, and pour it in immediately Coke and soy sauce, because there is half a bottle of Coke left, so the soy sauce is put in a quarter of it, which is about two bowls.The taste produced in this way will be on the sweet side, which should meet the taste of children.

After the fire boiled, slowly turn it to a low heat and cook, and ordered the spring equinox to watch the fire. Muai thought about it, and then stewed a bowl of tender custard for the old lady. The old man is getting old and cannot eat too hard food at night. , otherwise the gastrointestinal burden is too heavy, and it is easy to sleep poorly.

Although the old lady's body is no longer serious after using the century-old Chuanmazi to make medicine last time, after all, she has worked hard all her life, and after several serious illnesses, she is still not as good as before.It turned out that in the west courtyard, because Li Sheng and Hu Zi were there, Mu Ai could only send some soup and snacks there, but now, it is much more convenient for the old lady to come and stay for a while.Every day, Muai has to think carefully about some easy-to-digest, soft and delicious food, and coax the old lady to eat too much.

After a few days like this, the old lady's complexion has indeed improved a lot.

When the soup in the small pot was thickened, Mu Ai ordered the spring equinox to turn off the fire, found two large discs and packed them, and suddenly remembered that Ouyang was a little thin at the door just now, and wanted to guard the mansion on weekdays, to teach The children practice martial arts, and they have to practice flying needles with her at night. They are busy day and night, and even their bodies are tired.

After a little hesitation, Mu Ai took another small plate and picked up six or seven chicken wings and put them in, saying, "Ke Xin, I will put some braised pork ribs and rice in a while, and send them to Master Ouyang along with the chicken wings. In other words, teaching children martial arts has worked hard for him. From now on, his meals will all come from the small kitchen, so remember to bring an extra copy when you prepare meals."

Ke Xin was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded in response, "Yes, ma'am." Then she ironed the dishes and washed the chopsticks with her sister, and when she saw the madam carrying two large plates out in person, she asked softly, "Sister, madam..."

"Shut up! The master's business is not for us as slaves to talk about." Chun Equinox continued to put the dishes and bowls and chopsticks on the tray without raising his head, then glanced at the younger sister sticking out his tongue, and said, " In a few days, Madam is going to inspect the newly purchased yard, and Mu Liu asked Dad to work there, Madam said she would take me there, so she can visit Daddy along the way."

"Really?" Kexin exclaimed in surprise, "I've never been here before, and I don't know if my younger siblings have grown taller. How is my mother's illness? I was in the city a few days ago. , I wanted to beg my wife to let us go home and have a look, but I still didn’t dare to say it.”

"Second sister, you have to remember that we can stay by Madam's side, have enough food and clothing, and not be beaten or scolded. This is the merit we cultivated in our previous life. We must not be greedy anymore. Although Madam is kind-hearted, we must not forget our true nature." From now on, you can do what Madam says, don’t have any doubts, even if you think about it in your heart, you know?”

Kexin smiled and quickly responded, "Got it, big sister. Let's tidy up at night and see what we want to bring back to our parents. I want to make that light yellow dress smaller and take it back to my little one. Sister wears it, and I embroidered a handkerchief for my mother..."
