The Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 72
The girls returned home first after picking up their full baskets. They made an appointment with Qin Yuewen to come to her after noon.

After returning home, Qin Yuewen hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, then dug a hole in the backyard with Ding Xiang, built a small stove with bricks on the side, took out the big pot that Li Jin's house used to use next door, and filled the pot with water.

Qin Shi and Dong Erniu were a little surprised when they saw what she did.

"Yue'er, what are you doing?"

Dong Erniu asked.

"I have a wok, and some girls from Shanghe Village will come to me to learn how to cook seafood later."

Qin Shi laughed when she heard this.

"What you are doing now is like a girl's house. Our family will have no tea to buy in the future, and you will be free, so you can walk around with the girls' house in the village."

Qin is happy to see her like this.

Qin Yuewen grinned.

"Got it, wait a minute and I'll cook something delicious for you to eat."

Qin Shi and Dong Erniu went to the field. There are still medicinal materials growing in the field, but there are many fewer.

Qin Yuewen opened two plots, one was planted with onions, ginger and garlic, and the other was planted with peppers and other vegetables.

This is a necessary ingredient for cooking, and she is also planning to grow a pepper tree, which is also effective in curing rheumatism.

Wrapped in a small red cloak, Yuan Bao stood in the yard watching Qin Yuewen busy coming and going.

So he squatted next to the basket to look at the seafood Qin Yuewen had picked up.

"Sister, fish..."

Yuan Bao watched Ding Xiang handle the small fish he had picked up, and sat side by side with Ding Xiang to watch. His face was blushing, and the cloak made by the Qin family was very thick.

Just after noon, the door of Qin Yuewen's house rang.

Dong Erniu opened the door and saw five little girls standing outside the door. Seeing Dong Erniu, several of them shouted in unison.

"Uncle, we're from Shanghe Village, and we're here to look for your Yue'er."

Dong Erniu froze for a moment, and quickly let the person in.

"Yue'er is in the backyard, you go there."

The girls agreed happily and came to the backyard.

They were all carrying things in their hands, and when they reached the backyard, they saw Qin Yuewen lying on the ground blowing fire.

"How did you do that? Come, come, I'll burn it for you."

Chen Xinyi said while squatting beside Qin Yuewen, helping her to light the fire, Qin Yuewen was free now, and raised her head to look at the other girls.

These girls all smiled generously. They were different from the people in Dongjia Village, and they seemed to be easy to get along with.

Chen Xinyi is indeed a person who often burns fires to cook food, and she can start the fire with a few blows. Seeing Qin Yuewen looking at several people in a little confusion, she put her arm on Qin Yuewen's shoulder and said.

"You don't know any of them well."

Chen Xinyi pointed to one of the girls in a red jacket and two braids.

"She is a girl from my aunt's family. Her name is Taohua. She is sixteen this year."

Qin Yuewen laughed and called Sister Taohua.

The girl in the red coat also smiled and agreed.

Chen Xinyi pointed to another girl in blue cloth.

"She is Cui Cui, the youngest daughter of Father Jiang's family. She has five older brothers. Don't mess with her sister-in-law, she is very tough."

When Chen Xinyi said this, the girls all laughed, and Jiang Cuicui cursed with a blushing face.

"You're going to kill you, and then say my sister-in-law."

Qin Yuewen smiled and called Cui Cui, and the girl called her Miss Yue'er.

Chen Xinyi turned her head and pointed at the girl in the gray cloth jacket again.

"This is Miss Shisan. There are more than a dozen children in her family, and she happens to be Thirteen, so her name is Yang Shisan."

Yang Shisan's face was a little red, she gave Chen Xinyi a white look and said.

"Yue'er, you will call me Miss Thirteen from now on. As for her, you can just call her Er Niu."

After Yang Shisan finished speaking, the other girls laughed, and Chen Xinyi's face turned dark.

"Sister Thirteen, if you want to call me that, then Sister Taohua will be a big girl."

Taohua quit after hearing it.

"You second girl, the second child of your Chen family, what are you doing to my Zhou family? I don't recognize it, only you are the second girl."

Several people laughed as they spoke.

Qin Yuewen saw that there was another girl in white, so she asked.

"this?"

Chen Xinyi had a regretful look on her face.

"This is He Xiaomei. Her father just passed away a few days ago."

Then He Xiaomei opened her mouth and smiled, with a sad face.

"It's okay, come on, I'll teach you how to make seafood."

Qin Yuewen took the initiative to hold He Xiaomei's hand, and they arrived at the stove.

Qin Yuewen pulled Ding Xiang and said.

"This is my sister Ding Xiang, who will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year."

Several girls named Ding Xiang Ding Xiang, which made Ding Xiang at a loss.

Everyone was about the same age, and they got acquainted after a while. Ding Xiang took He Xiaomei and Jiang Cuicui to the field to pick onions, ginger and garlic.

Qin Yuewen took the squid and introduced it to several people.

"This thing is called squid. Few people in Dongjia Village recognize it, and no one dares to eat it, because they don't know how to cook it, but I know how to do it."

Qin Yuewen took the cage and spread a layer of big leaves on it. She washed the squid and put it in the cage.

"This squid tastes best when it's steamed. Later, sister Clove will come back with onion, ginger and garlic. Let's make a dipping sauce. Squid is delicious when eaten with dipping sauce, and the black water in its stomach. It's sweet when ripe, very good."

Under the surprised eyes of the girls, Qin Yuewen put the smaller squid in the cage, then turned to pick up the bigger squid and said.

"These big ones need to be cut open with scissors, and the ink sacs are taken out, then salted and dried in the sun. When you want to eat some days later, take some out, soak them in water, and fry them with chili. Let’s eat, it’s easy to eat.”

The girls were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and they were all stunned by Qin Yuewen's cooking skills.

Qin Yuewen picked up the shrimp and crab next to her and said.

"You all know these, so I won't teach them, let me talk about this."

As Qin Yuewen spoke, she picked up the scallops soaked in clear water next to her.

Because there were no fans, Qin Yuewen chopped some shallots and ginger for later use, and then chopped the peppers. The peppers were grown in her field. She took two, one red and one green.

Then wash it, remove the chili seeds inside, finely chop it into foam, and take a few cloves of garlic, chop it up and put it together with the chili.

Then I picked up the scallop, chose a knife with a thinner edge, cut it from the gap, then removed the internal organs, cleaned it, put it in the cage, and put green onion and ginger on it.

Then Qin Yuewen put the chili and garlic into the pot, poured oil and salt to taste, and evenly distributed it on each scallop, and covered the cage.

Chen Xinyi immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Yue'er, you are so meticulous in cooking. You think about it a little bit, like embroidery. By the way, I will come to you tomorrow. I will make a pair of shoes for you to wear."

After saying that, Chen Xinyi moved to the side of the cage and took a deep breath.

"It's so delicious. I'll go to the beach tomorrow to pick some up. I'll make it for my mother when I get home."

Qin Yuewen laughed.

"Er Niu, will you come to my house tomorrow to make shoes for me, or go to the beach to pick up scallops?"

Made several girls laugh.

　Dear babies, beg for tickets, collections, and rewards.
