At noon, lunch was placed in Yang Huazhong's house, with Lao Yangtou, Yu Xingkui, Sun Shi, and Yang Yongqing.
The dishes are all authentic farm dishes, including pig's trotters stewed with soybeans in a clay pot, fish head tofu with chopped pepper, two stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of fried peanuts.
In addition to white rice, the staple food also includes cornmeal pancakes with chopped pepper fish heads on the side of the pot.
This cake has no shape, so Sun directly pastes the batter around the iron pot, just like a mason laying a wall.
When the fish head tofu comes out of the pot and the cake is cooked, tear it off and put it in a basket. The big ones are big, the small ones are small, and the shapes are different. Because of this casual way of eating, it has a different taste.
In particular, during the cooking process, this cake absorbs the aroma of fish heads and tofu, extracts their essence, and stimulates the unique fragrance of whole grains. It tastes special when chewed... and has soul!
“My third daughter-in-law’s cooking skills are getting better and better!”
Old Yangtou held a piece of cake in his hand that was not much smaller than his old face. He ate it without forgetting to praise it.
Mrs. Sun was helping Yang Huazhong pick up vegetables when she suddenly heard the praise from her father-in-law and was so moved that she almost shed tears.
"I, I just burned it randomly, as long as it can satisfy my hunger." She smiled modestly, and her heart felt as sweet as drinking honey.
Yang Huazhong was also very happy, looking at the sweat on Sun's forehead, "Don't be too busy waiting on me, sit down and eat after you have been busy all day!"
"good."
As soon as Ms. Sun sat down, Yang Yongqing looked around while gnawing at the pig's trotters and asked Ms. Sun: "Where are our younger siblings and two nieces? Aren't they coming to eat?"
Mrs. Sun said: "The two children were having a bit of a fuss earlier. Lian'er took them to the pasture to find Xiaoduo. I guess they will stay there to eat at noon."
Yang Yongqing said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and continued to argue with the fragrant pig's trotters in the bowl.
"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, big news, big news!"
Only halfway through the meal, Mrs. Liu came running in from outside.
Her voice stopped abruptly when she entered the house and smelled the aroma of vegetables.
A pair of eyes stared directly at the dishes on the small table in front of the bed. After swallowing hard, his eyes gleamed and he ran over uncontrollably.
"Oh, pig's trotters, my favorite!"
When Mrs. Sun saw her coming, she immediately put down her chopsticks and stood up and said, "I'm just in time. I'll get you a pair of chopsticks..."
"No, no, no, I'll just use those serving chopsticks to deal with one bite."
Madam Liu sat down, grabbed the serving chopsticks and thrust them into the earthen pot.
"Fourth Aunt is a master. This move is fast, accurate and ruthless!"
Yang Yongqing looked at Liu's operation and was dumbfounded.
The largest and fattest piece of pig's trotter hidden under the earthen pot was directly poked away by her!
Liu grinned at Yang Yongqing like a winner, "That's a must!"
She is serious about eating, especially eating and drinking.
Moreover, she would not give the third sister-in-law time to go to the kitchen to get chopsticks.
How many pieces of food is enough for her to eat after all the time lost?
Moreover, it was mainly because Qing Xiaozi was here, and this was also a hungry wolf. He would definitely take away all the pig's trotters in the earthen pot before the chopsticks reached her hands, so she still had to eat a ball?
"Mother Qing'er, then you can follow the four younger siblings and sit down to eat." Yang Huazhong told Sun.
Sun nodded and sat down.
"Fourth Aunt, what did you yell when you came in earlier?" Yang Yongqing sped up and gnawed the pig's trotters, asking vaguely.
Mrs. Liu took the time to roll her eyes at Yang Yongqing.
"What do you mean? I have a loud voice. Can you still speak?"
Yang Yongqing raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and asked again: "Don't be picky about the words. What new things are happening in our village?"
Mrs. Liu swallowed the food in her mouth hard. She had eaten two large pieces in a row before, and she felt temporarily comfortable and could talk about things.
But she didn't say it to Yang Yongqing, but to Sun Shi and Yang Huazhong, Lao Yangtou, deliberately leaving Yang Yongqing's position aside.
"Third sister-in-law, do you think this is a coincidence? Today, Taoist Yuan was performing a ritual for that 'sister' in the mountains. In the village, Xiaoqin was washing clothes in the pond and was talking to the people next to her when she suddenly complained of stomachache. .”
"Several women helped her back home. As soon as the rituals were completed, the baby in Xiaoqin's belly fell to the ground."
"According to common sense, a first-time baby like theirs can't be justified without giving birth to a baby for a day and a night, but she was born in just one ritual, and she is still a baby girl. Now people in the village are saying that this is evil. There’s no guarantee that this baby is the first reincarnation of that ‘sister’ in the mountains!”
"Ah? Xiaoqin is pregnant? That's a good thing!" said Sun.
Yang Huazhong frowned slightly, "Fourth brother and sister, stop saying, listening and passing on those gossipy things."
Seeing Yang Huazhong teaching Liu, Yang Yongqing was secretly proud, his eyebrows trembling up and down, as happily as if he were playing the piano.
Ms. Liu's face was full of grievances, "This matter did not come from my mouth, it was said by others. I just came here to tell the third sister-in-law..."
"Rumors stop with the wise." Yang Huazhong grimaced and even put down his chopsticks.
"You are a member of our Lao Yang family. You represent the Lao Yang family when you are walking outside. It is other people's business to spread rumors. We, the Lao Yang family, need to cultivate our moral integrity. Do you understand?"
Ms. Liu curled her lips, her face still full of grievance and unwillingness, but she was still forced to say "Oh" due to Yang Huazhong's intimidation.
When Sun saw this, she winked at Yang Huazhong and told him to just stop talking.
At the same time, he put a big piece of pig's trotters into Mrs. Liu's bowl, "Here, eat another piece of pig's trotters."
Ms. Liu raised her head and looked at Mr. Sun, and whispered, "It's better that you treat me well, third sister-in-law. Third brother is too cruel."
Mrs. Sun smiled softly and said softly: "Your third brother is also doing it for your own good and for the good of our old Yang family. He has a good heart."
Mr. Liu nodded and buried his head in the conversation.
Old Yangtou sat there and listened in confusion.
"You've been talking for a long time, but I still don't understand. What's wrong? Damo's wife has given birth again? I haven't seen her pregnant before?"
The old man's question confused the other four people at the table.
Mrs. Liu was the first to react and burst into laughter.
"Dad, this Xiaoqin is not that Xiaoqin. Xiaoqin's eldest daughter from the Damo family is almost going to live with her husband's family. She also wants to be the mother-in-law herself. How can she still be alive?"
"So what are you talking about?"
"Zheng Xiaoqin, Jiang Xianjun's daughter-in-law, is the granddaughter-in-law of your best friend, Uncle Jiang's second wife!"
After Liu's explanation, Old Yangtou finally matched the name with the person.
"Ah? It turns out that Jiang Xianjun's wife is also called Xiaoqin? This name is really cute. So many people call her her, and I can't even tell who is who." The old man said a few words to himself.
"Have a daughter?" he asked again.
Mrs. Liu nodded, "My daughter, not my fat son."
