Chapter 2544 Fragrant and Crispy (fourth update)
In the kitchen, Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing were discussing what to cook for noon.
“The vegetarian dishes are all in this basket. Now there are meat dishes and I don’t know which ones to prepare.” Wang Cuilian said.
Yang Ruoqing took a look at the ingredients in front of her. The vegetarian dishes were almost there. The key was that the only meat dishes were the two kilograms of pork belly brought by Zhou Wang.
"Qing'er, I'll go to the backyard to catch a chicken and kill it. What do you think?" Wang Cuilian asked.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said: "Killing and roasting chickens is a bit troublesome. How about this? Auntie, burn these two kilograms of pork belly, and I will go to the fish pond to catch some fish."
“Meat dishes are just fish and meat, the portions are enough Just drink with it. Go back and grab a big live one and let cousin Zhou Wang take it back when he leaves.” What?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Wang Cuilian nodded cheerfully, "Well, that's a good idea. Let's leave it at that. I'll cut the meat first."
Yang Ruoqing said, "Then I'll catch fish."
Picking up the fishing rod and bucket, Yang Ruoqing came to the fish pond.
I caught a big catfish weighing nearly three kilograms, wild, and the rare kind with two beards.
Then, she also caught more than half a catty of small hairy fish.
I returned to Lao Luo’s house happily. I slaughtered the catfish and cooked it with spicy pepper later.
Stir the hairy fish with wheat flour, add two eggs into it, and fry it in a pan. It's fragrant and crispy.
We made wine, cooked rice, and stewed egg custard for the two children.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooked lunch quickly and went to call Tuoba Xian and the two children over.
The table was set up and everyone had a delicious meal around the table.
"Uncle, I've eaten this meal and it's time for me to go back. Xiaohuan and the child are worried at home."
As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Zhou Wang stood up and left.
Blacksmith Luo wanted to keep his nephew for more conversation, but considering his nephew's wife and Xiao Maomao, Blacksmith Luo suppressed his words of persuasion.
"Okay, okay, you might as well be early."
He said, and then called Wang Cuilian who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, "Cuilian, Wang'er is going back, things Where?”
“Come on, come on!”
Wang Cuilian ran over quickly, grabbing a big hen with its feet and wings tied in one hand, and another in the other hand. Snakeskin bag.
The snakeskin bag was half filled with something, and the mouth was tied with straw.
"Wang'er, there is nothing good. This is the new rice harvested this year. Your uncle pounded the rice himself. It is very clean."
"You take it back. Make rice soup for Xiaohuan and the baby, it will be nourishing," Wang Cuilian said.
Zhou Wang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, last time when Xiaohuan gave birth to a baby, my uncle and aunt went over to give gifts to the Nine Dynasties, and there was still half of the rice they brought!"
"That was early rice last time, and this is late rice. You should bring both of them." Blacksmith Luo said.
He came over and handed the rice bag and the old hen into Zhou Wang's hands.
"The child is young, Xiaohuan has to concentrate on raising the child, and you can't go to the county dock to unload the goods. If you do some part-time work at home in the past six months, your income will definitely not be good."
"This Bring the rice with you. If you don’t have enough to eat later, come back and get it.”
“When the child is older and you go out to do things, I won’t give you the rice. Go back quickly and don’t waste time. Come on." Blacksmith Luo pushed Zhou Wang towards the door.
Zhou Wang had no idea. He glanced at the heavy things in his hands and was so moved that he couldn't say a word.
Yang Ruoqing also came over, holding a bundle roll in her hand.
"Brother Zhou Wang, I picked up some clothes and diapers from the baby's childhood. Don't dislike it, but take it back too." "When the rain and snow close the door in the second half of the year, the clothes and diapers will not be changed, so anyway Just make do with these," she said.
Zhou Wang's eyes lit up when he saw the bundle roll held by Yang Ruoqing.
He quickly put down the rice bag and chicken in his hand, stepped forward and took the bundle roll with both hands.
"Brother and sister Qing'er, to be honest, Xiaohuan told me before this trip, let me see if I can get some diapers from the baby's childhood."
"The diapers at home. It’s really not enough. It rained two days ago and the diapers couldn’t be dried. In the past few days, I’ve been wrapping the stove ash in a bag and putting it under the baby’s buttocks,” Zhou Wang said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The baby's skin is delicate, and the ash is always afraid of leaking out and inflaming the child's buttocks, so it is better to use this diaper."
Zhou Wang nodded repeatedly. , holding the bundle roll with both hands, as if holding a treasure.
After seeing off Zhou Wang, Yang Ruoqing returned to the kitchen to help Wang Cuilian continue to clean up the dishes.
Blacksmith Luo also came in.
"Qing'er, you gave Zhou Wang the baby's clothes and diapers. This is really a timely help." The man said.
There was a deep expression of gratitude on his face.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Blacksmith Luo and smiled.
"Uncle, those things are of no use to me, they are just for collection."
"But Xiaohuan and the others are in greatest need. I'd be happy to help them," she said.
Tiejiang Luo nodded repeatedly: "Qing'er, our old Luo family has a daughter-in-law like you, it is really a virtue accumulated by our ancestors."
Such a lofty evaluation... Yang Ruoqing has a bit of it Sorry.
"Qing'er, you gave those diapers and clothes to Zhou Wang, won't they be enough if you have another baby later?" Wang Cuilian asked.
When Yang Ruoqing mentioned the matter of having a new baby, her face turned even redder.
"Auntie, at present, Tang Yazi and I have no plans in this regard. Let's wait for now," she said.
Chen'er has always been a knot in my heart.
I haven’t found the child for a day, so I really can’t think of having another baby.
Tiejiang Luo glanced at Yang Ruoqing and guessed what she was worried about, so he scolded Wang Cuilian: "You just worry about it. When the time comes, you can just buy it again. Don't always worry about that. Don’t let go, keep your eyes on the front, there is still a long way to go, everything will be fine!”
She was clearly scolding Wang Cuilian, but she was actually telling Yang Ruoqing to listen.
Yang Ruoqing was not stupid, how could she not hear the comfort and encouragement from Blacksmith Luo's words?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," she smiled and raised her head.
"Uncle, what is cousin Zhou Wang doing right now?" She asked again.
Tiejiang Luo said: "Before Xiaohuan had a baby, he went to the dock in the county to unload goods..."
"Isn't that the same job my third brother did before?" Yang Ruoqing said.
Blacksmith Luo nodded: "Yes, it was that errand. I took it off for about two or three months, and made two or three taels of silver." , he came back.”
“Didn’t he catch up with the double rush some time ago? He helped the people nearby. The rich family harvests and earns a little money. They go out early and come back late, and they can also take care of their little ones and children."
"As for this period, there should be nothing to do. If someone builds a house or has a house, they can do it. It’s just a small job, just do it.”
