Chen Cuihua is about the same age as Shen Zhiyao, two months younger than her, while Chen Chunhua is the same age as Shen Baiqiu.
The two of them had not seen Shen Zhiyao in the past few days, but they had obviously been greeted in advance. When they saw Shen Zhiyao, they also called out: "Sister Zhiyao."
Shen Zhiyao hummed and looked at the beaten chickens and rabbits: "Did Aunt Chen kill two rabbits and two chickens?"
Aunt Chen put the chicken giblets in a bowl and said with a smile: "Yes, there are two smaller rabbits left in the chicken shed but not killed. Zhiyao, Auntie will go to the town another day and give those two rabbits If I sell it, I will give you the money from selling the rabbit."
"Aunt Chen, you can decide for yourself whether you want to keep those two rabbits or sell them. You don't have to give me the money. This is originally to thank Huzi for helping to repair our house."
Not to mention, the smell of their simple bamboo house was much smaller after it was plastered with mud and bamboo chips were added.
"Never mind, just use your strength to repair the house. Huzi has plenty of strength, so it doesn't matter. And my aunt told you, you need to have some money with you to be stable. When the time comes, you can hide the money from selling rabbits. Don’t let them find out about your milk.”
Aunt Chen had already made up her mind and would not allow Shen Zhiyao to refuse any more.
Later, Aunt Chen took the chicken and rabbit that Chen Cuihua had washed and asked Shen Zhiyao: "Auntie is going to stew these two chickens with beans, and stir-fry the rabbit with green onions. Zhiyao, do you have anything else to think about?" How to eat it?"
Aunt Chen felt that Shen Zhiyao was knowledgeable. Shen Zhiyao also said she was interested in cooking and wanted to hear her opinion.
"Auntie, do you have courgette, dogwood and black bean sauce?"
"Yes." Aunt Chen turned around and went to get some and put them on the stove, "Are these enough?"
"Yes." Shen Zhiyao nodded, "Auntie, let's use a rabbit and chicken to make cold stir-fried diced rabbit and stir-fried chicken. I have eaten other cold dishes in Luzhou before, and I think rabbit meat can also be used cold."
Aunt Chen was curious: "How to make cold diced rabbit?"
"Let me think about it." Shen Zhiyao pretended to be thoughtful and said after a moment: "Let me try it. Have you never eaten pork and never seen a pig running away?"
"Well, I'll leave this rabbit to you." Aunt Chen thought about what she said before about her talent for cooking, and smiled in a dignified manner.
She decided that regardless of whether the cold rabbit salad was delicious or not, she would just praise it with her eyes closed.
Shen Zhiyao immediately started cooking, put the rabbit into the pot with cold water, added onions and ginger and blanch them first.
"Sister Zhiyao, how do you cut the courgette?" Chen Cuihua washed the courgette and asked her with a kitchen knife.
Courgette was cucumber in ancient times. Shen Zhiyao gestured with her fingers: "Just cut it into dices of this size."
After saying this, she went to boil spicy oil with dogwood.
While Shen Zhiyao was busy, Aunt Chen was also chopping chicken pieces and cutting up another rabbit.
The Chen family's kitchen was full of lively fireworks. On the other side, Shen Sili paced back to the room with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Mr. Yang sitting on the bed eating wild grapes picked from nowhere, he suddenly looked disgusted and shouted loudly:
"Don't eat in bed!"
Little Yang was so frightened that her hands shook and the grapes fell on the bed.
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? I used to eat in bed and you never told me anything?"
Shen Sili glared at her: "It was the past, and from now on, you are not allowed to eat in bed."
What a rude woman, not even a toe like Xiangxiang!
"Oh, let's do it." Little Yang obediently picked up the grapes and walked out of bed.
Shen Sili asked her: "By the way, my eldest niece is familiar with the Chen family? She took Bai Qiu and Yue Ya to the Chen family just now."
"I guess so." Little Yang thought for a while and said, "Isn't Chen Hu of the Chen family playing well with Bai Qiu? In the past, the two girls of the Chen family often cut pig grass together with Shen Mingxue and Yue Ya."
Cutting hogweed?
Shen Sili thought of something, and the anxiety in his heart dropped a lot. He told Xiao Yang, "Tomorrow you take Yueyue to cut pig grass."
Little Yang finished the remaining grapes and said without thinking too much: "Shen Zhiyao will not let Yueyue cut pig grass. My husband, you don't know. Shen Zhiyao challenged her father last night and said I won’t work anymore.”
"Is there still this matter?"
After Shen Sili woke up today, he heard Mrs. Yang talking about Shen Zhiyao's return and how Shen Zhiyao contradicted her. At that time, he listened to a few random sentences and sent Mrs. Yang away on the grounds that she wanted to read a book. I left, so I don’t know yet that the three sisters Shen Zhiyao don’t know how to work.
After thinking about it, Shen Sili said sanctimoniously:
"We are a family, and it is not appropriate to get into the current tit-for-tat situation. Zhiyao has deeply misunderstood Mom, and we have to find a way to reconcile it.
I see that Zhiyao loves Yueya very much. Yueya is a talkative person. Why don't you think of a way to bring Yueya to the bamboo forest on the roadside of the village tomorrow? I will talk to Yueya alone and let Yueya give her a lesson in front of Zhiyao. Mom said something nice. "
"Ah?" Little Yang was a little confused and didn't know why Shen Sili did this, but she was used to listening to Shen Sili's words, so she nodded and agreed to him.
But how to take Crescent Moon out?
Chen family.
After nearly an hour of busy work, Aunt Chen finally had the chicken and rabbit meat ready.
"Chunhua, go call your father, brother, Bai Qiu and Yue Ya to have dinner." Aunt Chen took a basin to fill up the stewed chicken soup.
Chen Cuihua took the chicken soup she served and carried it to the main room.
Shen Zhiyao also filled a bowl with cold diced rabbit. Today, in addition to the cold diced rabbit dish, she also made the stir-fried chicken.
The Chen family's table is a square table that can usually seat eight people. But the family has a carpenter, and they have a lot of stools. The seven Chen family members and Shen Zhiyao and three of them, a total of ten people, brought the stools and crowded around to sit on them. One place.
"Here comes the last dish!" Aunt Chen took the fried rabbit meat with green onions and put it on the table.
Looking at the four meat dishes and six pots or bowls placed on the table, the children of the Chen family and Shen Baiqiu's eyes widened.
Carpenter Chen and Aunt Chen can feed their five children, but they are still struggling. The family rarely eats meat, let alone Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya. Sows can climb trees, and it is impossible for Mrs. Yang to give them meat.
"Let's eat." Seeing everyone sitting at the table waiting for her, Aunt Chen quickly sat down too.
"Delicious!"
“It smells so good!”
Everyone reached out eagerly, and in an instant, there was only the sound of chewing on the table.
After eating, Shen Zhiyao took Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya to say goodbye to Aunt Chen and the others.
On the way back, Shen Zhiyao told them what Yihonglou was about.
"Sister, I understand, those who go to Yihong Mansion are dirty men." Shen Yueya clenched her fists, "Sister, don't worry, even if dirty men like Fourth Uncle offer me meat, I won't take it."
After finishing speaking, he tugged on Shen Baiqiu's sleeves and imitated Shen Zhiyao's words and whispered: "Brother, as a man, you must remember to love yourself and don't become a dirty man, otherwise you will not be able to marry your sister-in-law in the future."
"Hahaha." Shen Zhiyao was amused by Shen Yueya's words.
Shen Baiqiu blushed: "Yueya, what are you talking about?"
