Chapter 55 Cured Chicken Hot Pot
The two babies came to the table and ate noodles with Sanlang.
The two children also imitated Saburo and adjusted their postures. When eating noodles, they were very elegant and did not slurp the noodles loudly. Even when picking up pickles, they were very disciplined.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Sanlang could also start to play a role, which was quite educational for children.
After eating, Sanlang offered to help Su Xiaoxiao wash the dishes.
"No need, I can do it by myself. You can go in and rest quickly!"
Saburo didn't want to, "Then I'll watch you wash it!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment, "What do you mean, you watch while I work. Go in and rest quickly, so as not to cause trouble for me here."
Su Xiaoxiao pushed Sanlang into the room. She felt so shy at the time. Why did Sanlang say that? When he looked at her with burning eyes, Su Xiaoxiao felt that her face was as red as a piece of cloth.
It seems that after Saburo came back this time, he looked much more mature.
Su Xiaoxiao thinks she needs to learn more from Sanlang and learn how to be thicker-skinned?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. Su Xiaoxiao went over to open the door and saw that it was Mrs. Sun.
I saw her and her husband Wang Er outside the door together, holding a basket of fresh mushrooms and fungus with dewdrops in their hands.
Sun said with a smile: "Sister, it didn't rain yesterday, so my family and I went up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and fungus. We thought they would be fresh, so we brought them to you."
Su Xiaoxiao was very happy and took the mushrooms and fungus without any courtesy.
She quickly invited Sun and Wang Er to sit in the house together. When the two of them entered, they saw Sanlang.
Sun was already no stranger to Sanlang and had said hello. But when she saw Sanlang today, she found that he seemed to be more handsome than usual.
Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to visit her kitchen with Sun. Su Xiaoxiao insisted on inviting Sun and Wang Er to stay at home for dinner today.
Mrs. Sun was too kind to refuse, so she agreed immediately.
Mrs. Sun saw a bacon hanging on the beam of Su Xiaoxiao's house. It looked dark and not attractive at all.
"This is?"
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and quickly explained with great embarrassment: "This is the cured chicken I pickled."
"It's made from pheasants."
When Su Xiaoxiao introduced it like this, she was very proud, as if she was the first person to marinate cured chicken with pheasant.
Seeing that Mrs. Sun was still a little confused, Su Xiaoxiao saw that the cured chicken was almost marinated, so she took it off directly.
"Let's have this for lunch today."
There were some bamboo shoots in the basket that Mrs. Sun brought, so Su Xiaoxiao used local materials and cut the cured chicken into slices, then cut a few peppers and garlic slices, and finally put them in the pot and stir-fried them directly. stand up.
The room was immediately filled with fragrance. After the pot was finished frying, the smell started to appear. Su Xiaoxiao added water to it and closed the lid of the pot.
After a while, Su Xiaoxiao added the washed bamboo shoots and said to Mrs. Sun: "There are many people today, so let's just have hot pot!"
This was the first time Sun heard about hot pot, and she asked Su Xiaoxiao in surprise.
"What is hot pot? I've never had it."
Su Xiaoxiao went to find a pot and a shelf, one that could put charcoal fire inside. At this time, the bamboo shoots began to take in the flavor and slowly became soft after cooking.
Su Xiaoxiao sprinkled some garlic leaves on top, and the unique aroma of cured chicken and garlic wafted out of the pot. Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Sun, "This is the cured meat hotpot I invented. You must have never tasted it, right?"
Mrs. Sun quickly shook her head and said, "Really, this is actually the first time we have even heard of hot pot, let alone cured meat hot pot."
Saburo and the children also came over and were shocked to see such a novel way of eating.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Sanlang and the children: "I'll give you a task. Go over there and wash some cabbage, rapeseed, lettuce and so on. After washing, put it in this small bamboo basket."
Sanlang, Dabao and Xiaobao went out to wash vegetables together. Su Xiaoxiao said to them: "If you cook it this way, you can just add vegetables to it while cooking. It will be delicious."
Today happens to be a cloudy day. Generally speaking, it is best to eat hot pot when it is cloudy and rainy.
Su Xiaoxiao explained: "Actually, it's not just cured meat hot pot, for example, fish hot pot, chicken hot pot, etc., you can eat them all like this."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "These ingredients are all natural, so they taste more delicious."
After Sanlang and the children washed the dishes, they brought them over.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw that it was lunch time, she started cooking hot pot with everyone.
Saburo had never eaten such delicious hot pot before, and he was very happy eating it.
The guys were eating hot pot in the house, but they didn't expect someone standing there outside the door, drooling.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and realized that this person was none other than Granny Liu.
Grandma Liu stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house as if she was stupid, just sucking her saliva, as if she was so greedy.
But she was embarrassed to come over with a shy face and said to come in for a bite.
The last time Su Xiaoxiao had a treat at home, she had already given her enough face and did not expose the fact that she set fire to her own home.
Now Granny Liu is a little frightened when she sees Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Granny Liu who was standing at the door like a child: "What are you doing? Is there something wrong?"
Grandma Liu looked very embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "What, Li Zheng asked me to come over to see if your family needs any help?"
Su Xiaoxiao felt that when she saw Granny Liu again this time, her bad intentions seemed to have subsided a lot.
But Su Xiaoxiao also knew that Granny Liu was not a good person, so she decisively refused.
"There's nothing you can do to help. If you're fine, just go back first, right?"
Granny Liu also knew that she was asking for trouble by coming here like this. She also told her to see Sanlang here, as well as the Sun family and Wang Er's family who came over.
But this time Granny Liu seems to be more interested in Su Xiaoxiao.
After she left, just as everyone was eating, someone came running over anxiously outside the door.
As soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly to Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, it's not good. My daughter-in-law is dying of dystocia!"
The person who came was none other than Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was a good person and had been helping Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't ignore this matter.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly went into the house to get the medicine box. She said to Sanlang: "You will help me take care of the baby at home later. Sister Sun and Brother Wang, you two will follow me to help Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law deliver the baby."
Aunt Wang said to Su Xiaoxiao anxiously: "My daughter-in-law has been in pain for a day, but she just can't give birth. I went to find the midwife in our village. It happened that she went out to the next village and won't come back until tomorrow. Xiaoxiao, I'm listening to you. I once said I knew some medical skills, but now I really can’t find anyone to help me.”
