Chapter 50 Snake Soup Troubles
After assessing the heat, Yang Ruoqing opened the lid of the pot, and a burst of hot steam came out, mixed with a strange smell of meat.
Yang Ruoqing picked up the spatula and stir-fried them to let them heat evenly. Fry until both sides of the meat turn lightly golden. When she was having sex, she took a ladle of clear well water and poured it in, just enough to cover the snake meat.
Cover the lid, and the next step is to add firewood to the small stove.
When cooking snake meat, there are two key points. The first is to stir-fry to bring out the aroma, and the second is to stew over slow fire to bring out the fresh flavor of the meat.
Mrs. Sun was preparing other wild vegetables for dinner and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Snake meat is a new thing. This pot is quite heavy. How do you plan to distribute it, Qing'er?"
Yang Ruoqing was squatting there tending to the fire. She didn't even turn her head when she heard Sun asked. He raised his head and said, "I must give some to grandma, otherwise it won't make sense. Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dayun are so good to our family. They are a help in times of need, so I have to let them have a taste of it."
"Then...where are the two people next door?" asked Sun in a low voice.
Yang Ruoqing paused for a moment. The fourth uncle Yang Huaming and his wife were famous for their greedy mouths throughout the village. A person who has thicker skin than pig skin and a pair of dog noses. If he smells something delicious, he won’t leave, and he will have to fish for a few chopsticks before he gives up!
"It's okay, Mom, please don't say anything to me later, I'll just take care of it." Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, comforting Sun.
"Third sister-in-law, fat girl, are you ready with the snake soup?"
After a while, Mrs. Liu poked her head in from the door of the kitchen, her eyes looking like catching a thief, looking around. .
Especially when she saw the small pot with the aroma coming out, Mrs. Liu wrinkled her nose greedily: "This stuff is so fragrant that I can smell it from three miles away. It really intrigues me. We're all hungry!"
"If you're hungry, go to the front room and ask me for something to eat. Why are you yelling at me?" Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes at Mrs. Liu and said angrily. .
"Hey, fat girl, what you said is that we are all a family, aren't we? The fourth aunt is pregnant and is very happy. She is just waiting for you to take a few sips of snake soup..."
"It's seven months and you're still so happy? Fourth aunt, you are really a noble person! Do you know that you are so noble?"
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mr. Liu with a half-smile but not a smile, with that disdainful look in her eyes , which made Ms. Liu feel guilty and angry for a while.
"Ouch, my waist is sore after standing here for a long time. I'll go sit in the next room for a while..." Ms. Liu held her back and wanted to go to Yang Huazhong's room next door.
Yang Ruoqing ran out of the kitchen one step earlier and shouted towards the door of Tan's house in the upper room: "Mistress, come here quickly. My fourth aunt has low back pain and can't stand anymore." , my little cousin is about to slide out..."
The door of the east room opened with a bang, and Mrs. Tan hurried over here with a dark face, kicking her little feet, and had already started talking. Cursing and cursing.
"If your back hurts, just go back to your pig's nest and lie down peacefully, wandering around with your big belly, you can't hide from serious things, and you will be indispensable for greedy work!"
Mr. Tan cursed. Then she rushed to Mrs. Liu, her eyebrows and eyes widened. Suddenly, her nose moved and she sniffed the air several times.
"What does it smell like? Why is it so fragrant?"
"Mom, it's snake soup. Where's the snake soup that Fatty brought back?" Mrs. Liu just saw Mrs. Tan coming over and was frightened. At a loss, he saw that Mr. Tan's nose was also hooked by the fragrance, and he couldn't help but bravely said.
Tan turned her head and poked her head into the kitchen, and saw that the small stove was simmering.
Mrs. Tan looked suspicious. She usually stayed in her east room doing needlework and rarely walked around the village. Fat Ya got back the news about a snake. She heard it from Liu's two daughters, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Tan glanced at Yang Ruoqing suspiciously, wanting to scold her for not doing her job properly and only thinking about the nonsense she was talking about, but——
The next moment, Yang Ruoqing suddenly spoke up first : "Milk, you came just in time, wait a minute!"
Yang Ruoqing turned around, went over and opened the lid of the pot, a wave of heat hit her face, and a strange fragrance rushed out from the stove, just like Even Mrs. Tan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Even the stewed old hens are not so fragrant!
Yang Huaming, who was in the next room, heard Tan's voice just now and was so scared that he huddled inside and did not dare to say a word. Now he was also attracted by the fragrance. She whirred and asked, "It smells so good. Is the snake soup about to be cooked?"
I saw Yang Ruoqing carrying a bowl full of snake soup and walking to Mrs. Tan, smiling and saying: " Milk, this snake soup is our tribute to you. The portion is Not much, let’s all have a taste of the soup.”
Tan looked at the bowl in front of her. In the milky white soup, there were looming pieces of tender white meat and even green onion foam. Sprinkle it on top, not to mention how tempting it is!
"I don't care about this stuff, but it would be nice to take it back and give it to your father and uncle as a side dish." Tan said, reaching out to take the bowl from Yang Ruoqing's hand.
Mrs. Sun said hurriedly: "Mom, this bowl is hot. I'll bring it to you."
Mrs. Sun picked up the bowl and quickly went to the upper room over there. Mrs. Tan followed behind and walked for two Stepping forward, he turned around and glared at Yang Huaming: "What are you still doing? Come here quickly!"
Yang Huaming saw the familiar favoritism in Tan's eyes.
In the past, if any rare food was served at home, Tan would give it to Lao Yangtou, his eldest brother, his eldest nephew, his sixth sister, and himself on the pretext that the men were drinking and adding food. No one else!
You can have your share of the snake soup tonight!
Mrs. Liu was very angry when she saw Yang Huaming leaving her and ran away.
Ms. Liu knew that if the snake soup was in Tan's hands, except for a few of Tan's doting children and grandchildren, she would not be able to take a bite.
So I stayed where I was and didn’t want to leave.
Ms. Liu stretched her neck and looked at the steaming pot in the kitchen, her saliva almost dripping down her neck.
"Fourth Aunt, why are you still bothering with this? My mother has sent your share to the bedroom." Yang Ruoqing held her hands in front of her chest and walked towards the kitchen with her body like a bucket. As soon as he stood at the door, he was blocked by a thick wall.
Mrs. Liu twitched her lips: "With a palm-sized bowl and a dozen pairs of chopsticks, how many mouthfuls can it hold? Fatty, you still have a lot in this pot, give it to Auntie Kou Tang."
“ Ouch, Fourth Aunt, what you said is wrong. When we all eat together, it will be more exciting! Besides, my grandma is a good steward of the house, and my uncles are brothers and sisters, who is fighting for it? ? Fourth Aunt, you can tell me what you said, but if you say it outside, people will laugh to death!”
Ms. Liu’s face turned red with anger. This was the first time she had experienced Yang Ruoqing’s skill in talking, hum. He shouted: "Look at how stingy you are. If you don't want to give up, just say it. Where do you get so many excuses!"
