take a wife to support the family

Chapter 170 Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root

Lamei's outing wine is held at Song's house, and a chef is invited to cook the soup. Relatives of the Li family in Liushan Village also come here one after another. The uncles and elders who matter most live in Song's house, or borrow from acquaintances. Home, all settle down.

Originally, Lily was worried that Lamei and her mother would have a falling out. When she went out, her parents would not come, and Lamei's face must be unsightly. With a smile on his face, he didn't embarrass Lamei in front of others.

The chef only has nine big bowls, and the cold dishes are made by Lily and the women she knows well. She naturally tries her best to treat her sister, and orders a few dishes: osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, Chinese toon scrambled eggs, cold pork belly shreds, spicy braised pork ears, steamed pork ribs.

Braised pig's ear is something from Song Dagui's family, mixed with courgette shreds, mung bean sprouts, autumn oil, vinegar, and minced garlic.Then stir the chili noodles with hot oil to make oily chili peppers, and pour some red oil on the pig's ears to enhance the color and taste.The pig ears and several side dishes are crispy and raw, and they taste endless aftertaste.

Wash the pork belly with stove ashes over and over again. The last step is to rub it with cornmeal until there is no smell. Boil the old brine given by Mrs. Dagui, take it out of the pot, let it cool and shred it, and then mix it with various seasonings.Shredded pork belly is more flexible and chewy than pig ears, which is perfect for drinking.

Some diners don't like wine, but only like sweets, so they have sweet osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root.The fresh lotus root with mud takes it home, washes it, scrapes off the outer skin, stuffs it into glutinous rice and steams it in a pan, slices it after steaming, and pours some sweet-scented osmanthus honey.

This dish is most popular with the little ones, Lily watched with her own eyes several women secretly wrapped a few slices of lotus root in oiled paper, and wanted to take it back for their own dolls to eat.

The wine is also a good wine brought back from the county. Qingsong searched for a long time before finding a shochu shop that sells good wine and is cheap.Sister's marriage is a big event, Qingsong never took his ten-day vacation for a month, and gathered a few days together to see his third sister go out.

At the chef's place, Lily provided a lot of good ingredients, the chef showed his skills, and the stew was better than before. People who came to the table said that the winter plum is a good fortune. Although married in the family of a sister and husband, it is not worse than a rich family.

There was a person at the banquet whose eyes turned red with anger, this person was Song Xiuxiu, but she was getting yellower and thinner now, but she had a bit of Lily's personality from those days, when people became thinner, they showed high cheekbones and big eyes Come on, let me be a little more delicate.

Now her waist is also slender, every time Niu Shi sees her, she persuades her to eat more meat and tonic, Song Xiuxiu thinks she is beautiful, she wants to keep up with her husband's aesthetics, and refuses to listen to her mother's advice to eat more tonic, Niu has no choice.

Although Song Xiuxiu doesn't like meat, seeing the table full of meat dishes and exquisite vegetarian dishes, she also knows that the noodles are more decent than her own out-of-home wine.She was competitive when she was a girl, and she didn't get along with Lamei, and things like going out to drink would be talked about for decades, so she couldn't help but compare in her heart.

She is a talented lady, among her peers, she should be the first in terms of decency.Song Xiuxiu thought to herself, even if Li Lamei is richer than her, she should think about what kind of wine she drinks when she goes out, and shouldn't pass her by.

What's more, where did Li Lamei get the money?Which of the food and drink at the table is not her second brother's money?

Seeing that Tian'er is taking care of her brother and sister-in-law in Waisi Road when she is rich, Song Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and hated Song Haonian and Baihe to death.

It happened that Lily came out with rice and came to Song Xiuxiu's table. Seeing the appearance of her sister-in-law, she was also startled: "Xiuxiu, what's wrong with you?"

Song Xiuxiu regarded Lily's surprise as the shock brought about by her beauty transformation, and said proudly: "It's nothing."

There are many people busy, Lily doesn't plan to talk to her, put down the rice bowl and is about to leave, suddenly heard Song Xiuxiu say: "Second sister-in-law, I don't have such ostentatious dishes when I go out to drink, you just keep your secrets and buy such a good one for your sister." If you give things to my sister-in-law, you will prevaricate. You are married to the Song family, but your heart is still in the Li family."

As a daughter-in-law, people say that using her husband's family to subsidize her mother's family is a slap in the face in public. Although Song Xiuxiu tried her best to imitate the polite tone of a young scholar, she couldn't hide her sourness. The people at the same table hurriedly pulled her: "On a happy day, don't say a few words."

Song Xiuxiu was eager to disturb Huang Li Lamei's good business, and sneered away: "Second sister-in-law, why don't you talk?"

"When you went out, mother only told me to beat you, not even the spatula, what did you tell me?" Lily said with a smile, "I see that you have not had enough food for many days, how many times have you eaten?" Eat some, and I'll bring you a few bowls of sugar pork and ribs back later—what a pity, why are you so skinny!"

Most of the diners are bright-eyed, and there are many things about sisters-in-law fighting skills. Such ignorant sister-in-laws are rare, but sister-in-laws who hide needles in the cotton are quite enjoyable.

Song Xiuxiu choked on Lily, and remembered that when she went out to drink, Niu made Lily go round and round, but didn't ask her to cook with a spatula.It's okay for Niu Shi and Dong Shi to prevaricate their own meals, and it's okay to take the noodles at the banquet, but if you say it's delicious, it's really not called it.

Song Xiuxiu was really unconvinced at the thought of losing to Li Lamei for going out, but she couldn't do it again, so she had to look forward: she didn't believe that Li Lamei's dowry could surpass her!
If in the future, Xiaoxiu is the one who wants to be the butcher of the official, then what can Wang Xiaofu do?When the husband becomes an official, not only Li Lamei, but also the second sister-in-law will kneel in front of her.

Fantasizing about the better days in the future, Song Xiuxiu was happy again.

Lamei's dowry has no land in it, and it is indeed far inferior to Song Xiuxiu, but there are many things, the weight is sufficient, and it is also very beautiful.There are not many well-off families in Liushan Village, and everyone vaguely knows the situation of Li Mijia's family. Seeing Lamei has such a dowry, everyone said: "It's already very good."

Looking at Lamei again, needless to say, the elder sister of her natal family, the better the days go by, the second sister works in Liu's mansion, which is also an enviable job, the younger brother is already very sensible at a young age, and has a good job.

Although it may seem like Song Xiuxiu is not as respectable as marrying a scholar, Lin Lin always has a good life after all. The country people value practicality, and they are all envious of each other, and they all say good things.

When Lamei got married, Wang Xiaofu was the first to go to heaven with joy, and he was so happy from ear to ear all day long.He is a few years older than Lamei, but he looks like he is a year or two younger than he actually is, and he smiles more like a doll, which makes people feel friendly, and it is also because of this that he can get along in ten miles and eight villages.

Aunt Wang used to deal with Lamei in the past, and she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. On the first day Lamei came in, she took her hand and said, "You know what's going on in my family. You are such a beautiful big girl. Knowing how to settle accounts, my family is really not good enough for you. Just because Xiaofu and I like you and dare to ask for a match, as long as you don't dislike me in the future, I will just treat you as my own daughter."

Lamei's mother-in-law is so confused, but she was lucky when she married. It was a surprise to meet a sensible and gentle mother-in-law. She said to Mrs. Wang: "Mother, you don't know what my family is like? Your old lady Treat me like a girl, I only treat you as closer than my own mother, from now on our family will live in peace and beauty!"

Once Lamei got married, the Song family felt empty. Although Lamei still went to work in the store every day, she had to go back to Wang's house after finishing the work. It was not like usual, feeding the pigs, cleaning the house, and cooking for Lily.

Lily was very unaccustomed to it, and said to Song Haonian: "When Lamei gets married, it's a trivial matter that no one will do things. I always feel less lively."

Song Haonian said: "How can a girl not marry when she grows up, you see she is living a good life now, she should be happy. If you think the family is cold, let's have a few more children in the future, it will be lively."

Lily didn't expect him to bring up the topic of having a baby. He calculated that he is about the same age now, and his body is well maintained. At Song Haonian's age, many people's second dolls are jumping around on the ground, and only Song Haonian I don't have any children under my knees.

She blushed and said, "Now I want to have a baby, but it's not like I said it..."

If Song Haonian realized something, he touched Lily's face and looked at her before he was about to speak, when suddenly he heard Mrs. Zhu calling outside: "Big girl, big son-in-law, your father called you to come over and talk."

This is the mother-in-law, so you can't lose your temper with her... Song Haonian took two deep breaths, suppressed the anger that Lily had just provoked, and the two went to see Carpenter Li Bamboo hand in hand.

Carpenter Li's body is better these days, his legs can't fully grow, but he can walk a few steps with a cane, and finally he doesn't need to be waited on by people.

Carpenter Li asked the two to sit down and said, "We have lived here for a long time, and now we should go back."

"Father?" Lily asked hurriedly, "Did you hear someone gossiping?"

The eldest of the Zhu family was reluctant to go back to the mountains, but Carpenter Li is the head of the family, and now he is more used to talking than she is. When he said he wanted to go back, she had to listen by the side.Mrs. Zhu curled her lips and said: "No one is gossiping, it's your father who doesn't know what to do, so he insists on going back!"

Lily said: "Father, you are still in good health. If you go back, who will take care of you? I have to worry about the New Year every day, how are you going to live this day?"

Carpenter Li shook his head and said, "I know your filial piety, but now I can walk and eat by myself. With a handful of old bones, as long as I can move, can I starve to death?"

"Your mother will go back with me. Usually you are not at home, so we come here as well. Now it's the same as usual." Carpenter Li Bamboo paused, after all, he was a little bit reluctant to have the joy of his children around his knees, and said, " If you are free, it is your filial piety to visit us in ten days and half a month."

Song Haonian and Baihe tried hard to persuade each other, but Carpenter Li made up his mind to go home, but he couldn't persuade them no matter what, so he had to pack the luggage for the two elders and send them back to Liushan Village.
