When lunchtime was approaching, the smell of pig's trotters in the Luo family's backyard was really...
There are simply no words to describe it. In a word, even an anorexic patient would probably have to eat two bowls of rice at this point!
Yang Ruoqing simmered a pair of large pig's trotters thoroughly. After they were cooked, she took them out with chopsticks and placed them on a large white thick-bottomed porcelain plate.
Use a dagger to break the steaming pig's trotters into many pieces. Pick out the two pieces of lean meat in the middle and put them into small round bowls.
These two large pieces of lean meat are enough for two little guys.
The rest was eaten by three adults.
Although the pig's trotters were already flavorful during the stewing process, Yang Ruoqing still mixed a bowl of dipping sauce on the side, adding spicy and chives and coriander foam. It can be eaten directly or with dipping.
In addition, Yang Ruoqing also made loofah and egg soup and cold fungus, cucumber and yuba.
Midsummer’s midday lunch includes meat and vegetables, dry food and soup, which can meet the physical needs of the whole family.
While setting the chopsticks, Mrs. Liu came over.
"Qing'er Qing'er, I've been listening to a lot of gossip at my old house this morning. Do you want to listen?"
"Oh my god, what are you eating? It tastes so good!"
Mrs. Liu was talking, staring at the pig's trotters on the plate, and her hands were already dragging the stool next to her.
Yang Ruoqing kicked the stool directly under the dining table.
Ms. Liu found her space and stood up, ready to go straight to the point with Yang Ruoqing and ask for pig's trotters.
"Qing'er, I can, I can..."
"Can't!"
Yang Ruoqing said without raising her head.
"My lunch meal is prepared according to the head. If you eat it for Fourth Aunt, we won't have enough to eat. You can go home. He'er and Jin Chuan should have cooked the meal."
While Yang Ruoqing was eating pig's trotters, she expressionlessly ordered Mrs. Liu to be kicked out.
Ms. Liu stood at the dining table, grinding her back teeth.
Both Wang Cuilian and Luo Tiejiang were a little embarrassed. Wang Cuilian smiled and smoothed things over by saying, "How about you try two pieces?"
Although everyone knows that Mr. Liu is a foodie, and even the reincarnation of a glutton, there is no rule of eating only two pieces.
She basically won't give up until the plate is emptied...
Just as Mrs. Liu was about to nod, Yang Ruoqing clapped her chopsticks in her hand, raised her head and stared at Mrs. Liu coldly.
Mrs. Liu shuddered when she saw Yang Ruoqing's knife-like eyes.
She quickly waved her hand to Wang Cuilian: "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. I will risk my life just for two bites later!"
She acted like a fool and ran out, muttering as she ran: "I'm full of gossip, please beg me and I won't even tell you, huh!"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, who cares about listening to such gossip?
Besides, the gossip that Liu went to inquire about this morning was already known to Yang Ruoqing last night.
Nothing surprising.
Even if there were other side stories, it was about Xu Qiaohong's quarrel.
This is gossip about negative energy and mental internal consumption. It’s okay if Yang Ruoqing doesn’t listen!
She raised her chopsticks and continued to greet Wang Cuilian: "Auntie, don't worry about her, we will eat ours."
Wang Cuilian smiled in embarrassment and said, "These two times your fourth aunt came over, she didn't get anything to eat. Will we offend her severely after a long time?"
Yang Ruoqing held a piece of springy pig's trotters between her chopsticks and dipped it repeatedly in the dipping sauce. When she heard Wang Cuilian's worried words, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Auntie, just be careful, everyone can do it, but Fourth Aunt can't!"
"Why? Is she forgetful?"
"No, it's because she's greedy. As long as I prepare something delicious and leave a portion for her next time, I'm sure she'll be able to coax her."
The main reason why Yang Ruoqing didn't give Liu a good look this time was because she was unhappy with her cowardice a while ago.
It’s okay if they have no sympathy for the Da Mo family. They don’t force Liu to do unethical kidnapping. However, she, Yang Ruoqing, took in Da Mo’s family of five. Liu actually misunderstood this behavior as Yang Ruoqing’s disrespect for her. give face.
She felt that Yang Ruoqing was deliberately going against her, and Yang Ruoqing rushed to take in people she didn't want to take in. Moreover, Mrs. Liu would say strange things to everyone she met.
Even in the ten days that Da Mo and the others lived in the Luo family, Liu didn't even come once to get angry.
In this case, you are in the first grade of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth grade. You, Mr. Liu, have a temper. Could it be that I, Yang Ruoqing, am the memory of the fish?
The Luo family is not a place where you, Mrs. Liu, can come just as you want. We are all adults and we have to take responsibility for what we do.
…
Halfway through the meal, Lao Yangtou and Yang Huaming came over together.
Seeing them coming, Blacksmith Luo asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Old Yangtou and Yang Huaming looked at each other and shook their heads.
Old Yangtou said: "I don't want to eat, hey!"
Yang Huaming said: "I just came over from my old house after talking to Xu Yuanming."
Yang Ruoqing stood up immediately: "Master, fourth uncle, you sit down, I will get you bowls and chopsticks."
Today's pig's trotters are very big and the portion is sufficient. I told Mrs. Liu that on purpose.
Yang Ruoqing could find a hundred excuses if she didn't want to feed Liu.
But Lao Yangtou and Yang Huaming are different.
Soon, Yang Ruoqing brought the bowls and chopsticks over. Originally, the two of them said they had no intention or appetite to eat, but when Old Yang Tou saw the wine jar in Yang Ruoqing's hand, and Yang Huaming saw the pig's trotters on the table, they both gave in. The true feeling of sitting down.
Yang Ruoqing poured wine for them both.
During this process, Yang Huaming couldn't wait to taste a piece of pig's trotters and nodded in praise.
“Sister-in-law Cuilian’s skills are so good, this pig’s trotters are cooked to perfection!”
Wang Cuilian smiled and said: "I didn't burn it, it was Qing'er who burned it."
"Ah? Qing'er has a fever? It's really amazing, Qing'er!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Fourth uncle can eat a few more pieces if he likes it. Fourth aunt came here before and she was also greedy for the pig's trotters, so I didn't give it to her."
Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment, his face a little embarrassed.
"No need to give, she's not just greedy for pig's trotters, she's greedy for everything. There's nothing in this world she's not greedy for!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and asked Old Yang to try it again. Everyone tacitly avoided the rejection of Liu's Pig's Trotters.
After taking a few sips of wine, Old Yangtou told Yang Ruoqing the final outcome of the previous morning's events.
"...Xu Qiaohong has a really bad temper. This Changping Village mother-in-law was pointed at her nose and scolded by her daughter-in-law. I guess your Aunt Meier is the first one!"
Shame on you!
Lost Dafa!
Yang Ruoqing could only smile at this, and it was only because Aunt Meier was away.
If she hadn't had a secret relationship with Xu Yuanming and put herself in a disadvantageous position, no matter how fierce Xu Qiaohong was, she would never dare to point her mother-in-law in the face and scold her like this.
Aunt Mei'er was like this. She was scolded by her daughter-in-law, lost her face, and couldn't just let it go.
Useless, frustrated, and a little deserved.
So Yang Ruoqing didn't say a word to condemn Xu Qiaohong, nor did she say a word to defend Yang Huamei. She was an outsider, and her task was to take advantage of her.
