Chapter 153 Dealing with eel
Pei Yuan was not polite at all, and led the two children into the kitchen.
"The kitchen is so big and the new home is so beautiful."
This was the first time Pei Yuan came to Su Xiaoxiao's new home. He took a tour and found that Su Xiaoxiao's new home was really big and impressive. It was almost as big as his General's Mansion, and it was still new.
There are many new home equipments that are new to Pei Yuan. Even though he has traveled all over the country, he has never seen these before, so he naturally feels very strange.
Tang Xiaoman was still shouting outside, "I tell you Pei Yuan, the emperor has granted you a marriage, and you must fulfill this engagement. No matter what, I am your legal wife!"
Pei Yuan closed the door, and Tang Xiaoman's voice slowly disappeared.
The other servants began to put all Saburo's things into the house. Fortunately, there were many rooms and a large space, so they were all put in quickly.
The men stood down and left.
There were only two maids and Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao's family left in the house, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
"I'm back, Xiaoxiao."
Pei Yuan said and walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side, wanting to lean his head on Su Xiaoxiao's arms like before.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was not appropriate. The maid and two children I had brought were still looking at me. I couldn't do this.
"Dabao, have you studied hard these days?"
Pei Yuan changed the subject and asked about Dabao's studies.
Dabao was very excited and quickly changed the subject, "Dad, I went to the river this morning and caught a lot of fish. Look!"
Dabao said as he handed a small bucket to Pei Yuan, "Look, there are so many fish."
As a result, Pei Yuan looked into the bucket and quickly waved to Dabao.
"Take it away quickly!"
It turned out that Pei Yuan was afraid of those eels, "These fish look a bit disgusting."
It was for this reason that those eels were twisting around in the bucket with disgusting mucus on their bodies, which made Pei Yuan feel very uncomfortable. He didn't know when he got into this habit, and it actually made him allergic to eels.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Pei Yuan was pretending to be calm and his face turned a little pale.
"Are you afraid of this eel?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't shy away from it at all. Pei Yuan quickly waved his hand, "No way, how could I be afraid of that thing?"
"Oh, don't be afraid. It's just right. Dabao, didn't you say you wanted to eat eel? Mom will make you an eel soup today."
When Dabao heard this, he clapped his hands happily and said, "That's great, mother, I really want to eat it."
"Pei Yuan, help me kill these eels and dispose of all the internal organs. We will have eel pot for lunch today."
When Pei Yuan heard this, his face changed color. He wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but found Dabao and Xiaobao looking at him expectantly.
"Chunxiang and Qiuye, you two come here and help me get rid of the eel."
The two little maids quickly accepted the order, "Yes, General."
In fact, the two of them felt worried when they saw the eel twisting around like a small snake, and they were a little afraid to reach out.
Su Xiaoxiao saw it and said to Pei Yuan: "There is no reason for a girl to do something like this. Pei Yuan, don't you dare?"
After saying this, Pei Yuan was speechless. He immediately acted very brave and came over to take the bucket in Su Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Come here, give it all to me, I'll take care of it." Chunxiang and Qiuye were very grateful for Pei Yuan's thoughtfulness, saying that our general finally knew how to cherish us.
Although he was very reluctant, for the sake of his own face, General Pei Yuan went over and lifted the bucket to the well. What to do, let's start processing the eels in this bucket.
After a long time of mental construction, he finally summoned up the courage to reach out and pick up an eel from the bucket. Just as his fingers touched the cold and sticky skin of the eel, Pei Yuan suddenly pulled back. As soon as he retracted his hand, Saburo immediately returned to his previous timid and cowardly appearance.
"ah……"
Pei Yuan screamed, and his general spirit was gone.
A voice sounded next to him.
"Forget it, let me do it."
Su Xiaoxiao came over and took the basin from Pei Yuan's hand expressionlessly.
"I thought a majestic general was here, but it turns out you're still the same Saburo you were before. You haven't changed at all."
Pei Yuan could only smile awkwardly at this time, "Everyone has weaknesses. I am really not good at this."
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. She picked up the eel and processed it one by one. After cleaning all the internal organs, she washed away all the mucus on it.
Although Pei Yuan watched the eel in Su Xiaoxiao's hand struggling constantly, sometimes slipping out from between his fingers, he was finally caught by Su Xiaoxiao and dealt with all the eels quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao held the prepared eels. At this time, Pei Yuan was still in shock, staring straight at the eels and asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"Are we going to have this for lunch today?"
"Well, there is nothing else but this. This eel is delicious and nutritious. It is very good for the body and a great tonic."
"this……"
Pei Yuan felt a little nauseous, but didn't know how to express it. In fact, he really didn't want to eat this food.
Su Xiaoxiao took the eels back to the house, then put oil in the pot, fried them slowly over low heat, put the eels into the oil pan and began to fry them.
A fragrance emanated from the surroundings, and the eel's body began to curl up. Su Xiaoxiao added onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to the pot.
Then, she put the eels into a very delicate small ceramic pot, added boiling water into it, placed it on the stove and began to simmer over low heat.
After touching it for about an hour, Su Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the ceramic jar. People around him began to swallow hard because the smell was very fragrant.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to add thirteen spices, salt and other seasonings into the ceramic pot, and sprinkled a layer of chopped green onion on top. The eel soup was now finished.
"Come over and try it!"
Su Xiaoxiao said and called everyone over. After all, two little maids came today.
But Su Xiaoxiao was very uncomfortable and felt that after finishing the meal, she would definitely send the two serving maids away quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao did not really enjoy the two maids who came to serve her. Instead, she felt as if there were two guests at home, and she had to serve them in turn.
Only Sanlang couldn't come over. Although the smell made him feel hungry, he didn't feel that he had the courage to eat these eel pots at all.
Pei Yuan was still watching, not daring to come over.
I saw Su Xiaoxiao putting the pot of eel soup on the dining table, first giving one to each of Dabao and Xiaobao, and Chunxiang and Qiuye, but everyone just looked at it and didn't dare to move their chopsticks.
