Chapter 720 Appetizing (Fifth update)
The little girl's mouth was so pouted that she could hang an oil bottle on it, and she said to Old Mrs. Sun: "Mistress, you are so serious. If you want to praise my sister, you can't do anything wrong." Are you going to disparage me?"
Da Sun glared at Xiaojie: "You damn girl, how can you talk to your grandma?" You don't want me to argue?" Xiaojie said.
Da Sun raised her hand in a gesture: "You damn girl, how dare you talk to me about your mother, believe it or not, I will slap you?"
Xiaojie looked aggrieved when she met such a mother.
Old Mrs. Sun then stared at Mrs. Sun: "My child just said a few words, and look at you, are you embarrassed?"
"Xiaojie, don't argue with your mother. You said something wrong, lower insteps are better, higher insteps are better!" Old Mrs. Sun coaxed.
Nine-year-old Xiaojie still stood there with her lips pouted and her little face turned to the side.
Looking at her little cousin's appearance, Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
She is young, has a big temper, and is a stubborn girl. She has her own opinions and dares to argue with reason.
To her appetite.
She took off her new shoes and put them aside, then put them back on her original shoes and walked towards Xiaojie.
"Xiaojie is the most sensible. She is playing tricks with you guys! Xiaojie, right?"
Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
Xiaojie turned around and looked at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing immediately took Xiaojie's hand and said, "My cousin brought back a lot of fun things. Xiaojie, see what you like!"
The words came out, the red cloth on the bamboo basket was uncovered.
Xiaojie was just looking around the bamboo basket. Without her cousin's permission, she didn't dare to rashly uncover the red cloth.
The moment Yang Ruoqing opened it and saw the red and green sachet accessories in the basket, Xiaojie's eyes suddenly lit up.
The little mouth also opened into an O shape.
"Cousin, what are these?" she asked with a curious look on her face.
For a little girl who grew up in a barren mountain village in a valley in the mountains.
These things from the dragon boat racing in the water town are indeed rare things.
The colorful colors, fragrant smell, and shapes of flowers, birds, insects, and fish are all very attractive to girls.
Xiaojie no longer cares about competing with Da Sun.
Hitting his head, he reached into the basket and carefully selected it.
“What is it?”
Old Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun came over curiously when they saw Xiaojie’s appearance.
The two of them were also surprised when they saw what was in the basket.
"Is this... a sachet?" Old Mrs. Sun asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, so she simply told them how she got the sachet.
Da Sun said: "It's different in ten miles, but people from the water towns and fishing villages know how to play."
Old lady Sun picked up a sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks crossing their necks. Looking at it, he praised: "This girl has skillful hands and beautiful needlework."
Yang Ruoqing looked over and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
Isn’t it the one Zuo Yingchun embroidered on?
Hey, this is not a basket of sachets, but a basket of broken girls’ hearts!
Here, Xiaojie is holding a monkey-shaped one in her left hand, and a lotus-embroidered one in her right hand.
Comparing there, biting his lip, looking like he couldn't make a choice.
Yang Ruoqing patted Xiaojie on the shoulder.
"You can pick whatever you like. As long as you like it, my sister will give it to you." She said.
"Really?" Xiaojie asked excitedly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.
Xiaojie shook the two sachets in her hand: "Sister, I like both of these."
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
"There are also these few that I care about..."
"It's yours too!"
"Sister, you are so kind, you are the best sister in the world! You, You are better than my mother..."
"Oh, what a flattering person..."
"Hahaha..." The room fell into cheerful laughter.
Yang Ruoqing did not stay with Ga Po for long, she quickly said goodbye to them and entered the village.
Back home, Mrs. Sun was cooking in the kitchen.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's shout, the woman dropped the spatula and rushed out of the house.
"Daughter, are you back? It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Mrs. Sun wiped her hands stained with oil smoke on the apron around her waist.
Hurry over and take what Yang Ruoqing is carrying.
"Are you tired from the journey? Is the dragon boat nice? The food there is almost the same as ours..."
As they surrounded her into the house, Mrs. Sun asked repeatedly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Sun answered them one by one.
Sun Shi quickly poured her tea again.
"Quick, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
"Yeah!"
Yang Ruoqing took a sip of tea and saw that her three brothers were not in the room.
"Mom, where are my brothers and the other three?" she asked.
Sun said: "I'm afraid Da'an Dajie is on his way back to the village, and your uncle has gone to pick them up."
"Xiao'an, Yongqing, He'er Ju'er and the others Let's play together."
"Oh!" Yang Ruoqing picked up the tea bowl and was about to drink again when she suddenly smelled something burnt.
"Mom, what are you cooking?" she asked quickly.
Mrs. Sun suddenly came to her senses and slapped her thigh: "Oh, look at my memory, I'm roasting meat in a gourd!"
The woman hurriedly ran to the kitchen next door.
Yang Ruoqing also followed, just in time to see a puff of black smoke rushing out from the pot lid that Sun opened.
"Oops, it's all stuck to the pan. We can't serve it to the table to entertain the craftsmen now..."
Mrs. Sun was very depressed and annoyed.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the dark stuff in the pot and shook her head.
"Mom, are there any other dishes for tonight?" she asked.
Sun then reported the night’s dishes.
Yang Ruoqing thought about it for a moment, this gourd-roasted pork dish is still a dish that adds to the scene.
"Is there any meat left at home?" she asked again.
Sun said: "All the meat is in this pot, only some ribs are left, which are still raw. I plan to make soup at noon tomorrow."
Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves: "Take out the ribs, I will Let’s make a great dish that can replace the gourd-roasted pork!”
Chop the ribs into small inch steaks.
Apply oil, salt and other seasonings.
Put it in the glutinous rice leftover from making zongzi two days ago and roll it a few times.
Then, they were wrapped tightly with reed leaves soaked in well water, and then wrapped with colorful silk threads.
Put water in a small pot with a steaming grid on top, and then put the small inches wrapped in reed leaves on top.
Tightly cover the pot and heat the bottom.
Sun stood aside and witnessed the whole process.
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen this way of eating. Qing'er, you have a good idea." The woman said.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and smiled.
“I ate this dish at Zuo Zhuangzhu’s house two days ago. I thought it tasted good, so I made it and tried it!”
“Ah, my daughter is so smart. , I went out to be a guest and learned a new dish!”
Facing the woman’s praise, Yang Ruoqing smiled again.
In the eyes of a mother, everything about children is good.
"Mom, what are you doing? The meat should be thrown away when the gourd is burnt." Yang Ruoqing said.
She saw Mrs. Sun pick up the bowl of gourd-roasted meat and instead of pouring it, she put it in the dish cupboard.
