Reborn spicy little daughter-in-law

Chapter 23
The elderly feel less sleepy and wake up at four o'clock.Mr. Kou woke up first, sat up with his clothes on, and saw Kou Xi sleeping soundly next to his grandma.

After a while, the old lady also woke up.By the light outside, I saw my wife was in a daze.The old lady suppressed her voice and asked, "Why did you get up?"

"Hey, I can't sleep!" Mr. Kou looked at Kou Xi, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how things are going over there?"

"Being someone else's daughter-in-law is not as good as being a girl in her natal family." The old lady Kou turned over and looked at Kou Xi lovingly.

"The man is not at home, and lives with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She has never done any work at home before, and she must be angry." The old lady sighed: "We were just married at that time, and you were still at home supporting me. I'm not less angry."

"I heard it yesterday!" The old man said in a low voice, "There are several people in the family. Is she missing a meal? I also know that she hesitates, and she can't even eat a warm meal when she comes home from get off work at night. Hey"

Speaking of this, the old lady's nose became sour: "Why don't you take it back."

"How can that be done? Married people live in their mother's house every day. It's hard to say!" The old man sighed, "It's not right!"

"Then what should I do?" The old lady was a little anxious, her voice raised a little: "You can't let her be angry there every day!"

"Call Yazhi and ask her to watch it." The old man said in a low voice, "This is how life is. If there are difficulties, let's solve them. Let's help the head of the house. When you pickle pickles, take her share with you." , Didn’t you say you want dried potatoes and eggplants yesterday? You can get them out for her in the next two days, so don’t let her have nothing to eat.”

"Well, I'll steam some dry food for her, and let her take it with her when she leaves. After the dried potatoes are finished drying, you take Dewang and send them to her. By the way, order Huo Dagui carefully, don't think that we old Kou The family is so bullied!" The old lady was also a powerful figure in propaganda for the liberation of women in the village.

Kou Xi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, listening to these words in his heart, only felt his chest sore and aching.Where she can't see, her family loves her so much.Given the chance to be reborn, she is determined to give her grandparents the best old age.

Kou Xi woke up after a while, smiled and said to go to the kitchen to cook, honoring the two old people.The old lady wanted to see her current craftsmanship, so she just brought in a bundle of firewood and silently helped her.

Seeing Kou Xi's quick movements, he took out the leftover sorghum rice from the cupboard.Add water and put it into the pot to make sorghum rice porridge, put a steaming rack on top of the rice porridge, and put a few big corn flour pancakes on the rack.After thinking about it, I went to the vegetable garden and picked four eggplants.Wash it clean, put it on a plate and put it next to the large cornmeal pancake, ready to be steamed together.

There are two big pots in Kou’s kitchen. In the past, one pot was used for cooking and the other pot was used to cook pig food.In the past two years, the old lady has grown older, and instead of raising pigs, she raised two sheep.Naturally, the cauldron was left idle, and occasionally guests at home would use that cauldron to cook.

At this moment, Kou Xi told grandma: "Just add this one, I will use this pot to scramble an egg."

Green onions from their own fields, and eggs laid by their own pullet hens.Before Kou Xi was married, the family raised about [-] pullets every year.Every day, just eggs can collect a big basket, and there is not enough to eat and use up.Not to mention that there are more than a dozen ducklings, all the duck eggs are put away to pickle the salted duck eggs, and the first duck eggs in the house are kept throughout the year.

Kou Xi skillfully took out six or seven eggs, and knocked two eggs on the side of the pot with one hand, breaking the shell and throwing the egg liquid into the basin.Heat the pan here and drop a piece of lard.Kou Xi held a basin in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and quickly stirred the egg liquid clockwise.When the oil is six to seven minutes hot, throw the pot of egg liquid into the pan and stir fry.When the egg liquid became solid, she took out a shovel and put it in a basin.Melt a piece of lard, cut the green onions into large pieces and throw them into the pot.Then pour in the eggs, and use a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful of homemade miso and throw it in.The taste of fried eggs with scallions is complete, and the green scallion leaves and oily eggs make people very appetizing.

Open the other pot lid, and a gust of white hot air rushes towards the ceiling.Kou Xi picked up a large pancake made of cornmeal and brought it out, then dipped the eggplant in cold water and tore it into strips.Mrs. Kou saw that Kou Xi quickly put the steamed eggplant sticks in a small aluminum basin, mixed with vinegar, soy sauce, salt, garlic, and chili oil.Holding a small pot of big pancakes in one hand, and cold eggplant sticks in the other, he entered the room.

Then came out and brought sorghum rice porridge and spring onion fried eggs in, and greeted the old lady with a smile: "Grandma, don't forget to take the bowls and chopsticks!"

But I didn't know that Mrs. Kou was secretly wiping tears behind her back, and whispered, "I've only been out for a few days now."

It's not that Kou Xi didn't have no work at home before she got married, and she usually cooks as an old lady who burns firewood.She usually wears hot peppers to dry vegetables and wadding cotton to make quilts. She is also good at these things.Knitting sweaters with crochet and sewing things with a sewing machine are not difficult for her.

It's just that the farm work at home has never touched my hands, and I have never cooked independently.

So Mrs. Kou saw Kou Xi's method, which is comparable to a housewife who has been a housewife for more than ten years.He thought that Kou Xi had been trained by her mother-in-law since she got married, and she didn't know how much she had suffered in her mother-in-law's family behind her back.My heart is not feeling well, and the tears cannot stop flowing.

The men didn't think so much, the food served on the table by Kou Xi was very palatable.There are dry food, porridge, stir-fried vegetables, and pickles.Kou Dewang nodded involuntarily, thinking that the Eighteenth Women's Congress had changed, and Kou Xi became more sensible after being married.

After the family finished their meal in peace, the old lady told her son: "Pick up the potatoes in the garden for me." Then she told Kou Xi: "There are four rows of eggplants behind the house, if you don't pick them, you will grow old. You picked all the eggplants, and you also collected a few old cucumbers."

Kou Xi used to hate doing this kind of work the most, but now she is willing to work for the old lady.He took off the straw hat hanging on the wall, took the soil basket and went to the backyard.

When the old man came back from herding the sheep, Kou Xi had already picked all the eggplants.At this time, he was squatting in front of him loading new potatoes, raised his head and shouted with a smile: "Grandpa, you are back!"

The old man shook the bag in his hand: "I bought you your favorite pork head!"

Kou Xi greeted him with a smile, and took the pork head from the old man's hand: "Thank you, Grandpa, I'll make you two appetizers later!"

The elderly like to drink a cup of white wine with every meal and have a good sleep after lunch.Kou Xi knew what he liked, and took this opportunity to go home to honor his old man.

In Kou Xi's house before she got married, there were two basins on the kang.A pot of soybean sprouts and a pot of mung bean sprouts.Kou Xi grabbed a handful of mung bean sprouts, added a handful of leeks from the vegetable patch, and fried them on a plate.

I took two new sliced ​​potatoes and made a fried potato slices with green peppers.

Washed and sliced ​​the two twisted cucumbers, and cut up the pork head bought by the old man.Put soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and a little salt, and make a plate of cucumber mixed with pork head.

Thinking that the old lady always likes to eat steamed corn syrup, she took out some fresh corn.Use a grater to grind the corn into a slurry, add green onion and salt and mix well.Pour the blended slurry over the corn leaves and place on the steaming rack.

"Oh, it's only been less than an hour. Have you cooked all the water and rice?" The old man couldn't help but praise when he saw the common meals on the kang table.

On the table is a small pot of braised eggs in sauce, and on the side plate are neatly cut shallots, cucumbers, and tender raw eggplants.This is an authentic Northeast pickle dish.A plate of stir-fried bean sprouts with leeks, a plate of pork head mixed with cucumber, a plate of green pepper and potato slices, a plate of steamed corn milk, and a plate of sliced ​​salted duck eggs.

Coupled with the thick rice soup in Shui Lao Fan, this lunch is the favorite of the elderly.
