Chapter 5277 Chicken Soup
When noon was approaching, the cattle dealer sent Xiang Shengnan: "Go and call your father over to have dinner with you. Tell him that your father-in-law is here and ask him to come and drink a few cups."< br>
Xiang Shengnan responded and hurried to the old house.
Xiaohua came out of the house and looked towards the kitchen.
"What's the matter with Hua'er?" Yang Huazhong asked immediately.
Xiaohua said truthfully: "It's almost noon, Duo'er should be hungry too, let me see if there is anything to eat."
Yang Huazhong realized that the number of meals this mother ate was different from that of normal people. , Eat small and frequent meals, once in the morning when you get up, once in the middle of the day, again at noon, once at sunset, and then again at night before going to bed.
Of course, this is what people who have the conditions to eat like this nowadays, and people who don’t have enough to eat naturally can’t expect it.
But my family definitely belongs to a qualified family now. When my daughter was raised by her parents, she never had a shortage of food and clothing. How can she suffer the hardship after marrying into her husband's family?
So, Yang Huazhong immediately told the cattle dealer: "Yes, Brother Xiang, Duo'er is spending a lot of money during confinement, and he can't go to the kitchen to eat, so he needs to prepare more for food and drink. , although the cost is higher than usual, people are the most important thing, don’t you think?”
The cattle dealer's face fell, "Lao San, you are out of touch when you say this. Although my family's conditions are not as good as yours, my family can still afford food and drink for my daughter-in-law."
"You wait. , I will I went to urge Mr. and Mrs. Sheng. Normally, food is delivered at this hour. Why are you so slow today? It’s really outrageous!” As busy as a top.
"Duo'er is hungry. Is her food ready?" the cattle dealer asked.
Mrs. Sheng raised her head from the smoke: "Brother, the chicken soup for Duo'er is almost ready. I'll send it to her right away. Now that the in-laws are here, I'll cook more than usual. A few dishes, so I was delayed. I will go and apologize to my in-laws in person later..."
Mr. and Mrs. Sheng said so, and there were also a row of dishes and bowls placed on the pot table, which really showed that they put a lot of thought into preparing the dishes.
So the cattle dealer didn't know what to say, so he urged him again and left.
Soon, Miss Sheng came to Duo'er's house with a large bowl of chicken soup.
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law, for the delay..."
The chicken soup was placed in front of Duo'er. The soup from the several-year-old hen simmered into a light yellow color, which was not needed at all. If you add extra oil, there will be oil in the meat itself.
At this moment, circles of oily flowers glowed golden on the fragrant chicken soup, and a few green chopped green onions were sprinkled on it. The whole room was enveloped in the fragrance of the chicken soup.
Xiaohua took a look at the chicken in the soup. Well, each piece was very solid. The chicken leg hadn't been cut open yet, it was a whole chicken leg.
Xiaohua and Sun secretly exchanged glances, and both were very satisfied with the food.
Xiaoduo was also very hungry, so she immediately picked up the chicken soup and took a sip.
After drinking this, she couldn't help but frown.
"What's going on, Duo'er? Doesn't it taste good?" Miss Sheng came over quickly and asked.
Xiaoduo had a bitter look on his face: "Mother-in-law, this soup is too salty, it makes you uncomfortable to drink."
"What? It's too salty? Let me try it."
Sheng The man and his wife took a taste, smacked it in her mouth, and said, "It's not salty, dear." Mom, try it."
The chicken soup was pushed to Sun's mouth again, and Sun took a small sip, "I have a strong taste, so I can drink this chicken soup without any problem, but Duo'er is a pregnant woman. It’s better for the baby if the mother eats a light diet.”
Sheng's wife looked annoyed: "Look at how clumsy I am. I originally thought that the chicken soup would be a little saltier and the chicken would be more flavorful, but I didn't expect it to be too salty. How can I fix it now?"
"How about I exchange it for some water and dilute it with it? Duo'er, can you force yourself to take a few more sips?" Sheng's wife asked again. Xiaoduo shook her head decisively and exchanged it for boiled water for chicken soup. She had no appetite even thinking about it.
"I won't drink anymore. You can drink. I'll eat later." Xiaoduo said, turning away, not wanting to talk to Mr. Li Sheng.
Mr. Sheng stood beside the bed, her hands hanging down, looking at a loss, with annoyance in her eyes and brows.
Mrs. Sun said: "Don't be upset. Just be more careful next time when you make soup. If it doesn't work, I'll make it." Duo'er and her daughter are just fine. Duo'er has just given birth and needs it most. She is accompanied by an experienced and considerate elder. You are her mother. The most important thing is that you accompany her well. Just let me, a clumsy person, do the other work."
Sheng Nanniang said. After a gust of wind, they ran away, leaving the three Sun ladies in the room looking at each other.
Sun said: "Your mother-in-law speaks nicely, and she admits her mistakes promptly, but I don't know whether she means it or not next time."
Xiao Duo smiled bitterly, "I heard Sheng Nan She said that she has always been so sloppy when cooking all her life. "
"In the past, Katsuo had never eaten other people's food, so he didn't feel anything. Later, when he became our son-in-law, he realized that the food could be so well-cooked and delicious. He said he planned to learn to cook some simple dishes from his mother. Cook the food for me later, so there is no need for his mother to hang around in front of my eyes."
When it comes to Xiang Shengnan, the corners of Xiaoduo's eyes and eyebrows are gentle.
Sun and Xiaohua looked at each other and smiled.
Soon, lunch was put on the table, and Katsunan’s father came over.
The cattle dealer and Shengnan's father warmly greeted Yang Huazhong for a drink, while Shengnan's mother was busy picking up food for Sun.
The table is filled with fish, meat and chicken.
The chicken is naturally the old hen that was simmered at noon. Duo'er is not suitable for eating, but others are suitable.
Xiang Shengnan gave Xiaoduo a bowl of rice, two pieces of fish, some eggs and vegetables and brought them into the house.
When he heard that his mother-in-law prepared a large table full of dishes to entertain his family, the previous unhappiness in Xiaoduo's heart suddenly disappeared.
After lunch, Yang Huazhong and the others returned to Changping Village, and made an appointment to come over to give gifts when they took nine baths.
The next day, Miss Sheng came to Xiao Duo's house: "Duo'er, the chicken soup yesterday was too salty. Today I killed a chicken just for you. This chicken soup should be much lighter. You can drink it and see." br>
Xiaoduo took a sip of chicken soup. The chicken soup was bland and had a slight fishy taste.
"It's not as fragrant as yesterday..." Xiaoduo said.
There isn't much meat in the soup, just a few pieces, and what's left is chicken offal.
Mr. Sheng said with a smile: "You have such a sensitive tongue. I raised this chicken today. It is not old enough, is thin and small, and the taste is naturally not as good as the old hen yesterday. However, it is still nourishing to the body, so you can drink it reluctantly, even if it is for the sake of the child.”
Xiaoduo thought about it and felt that it was true. In order for her children to be fed, she really couldn't choose.
So I held my nose and drank it all, and gnawed all the few pieces of chicken.
Sheng Nanniang came to the yard with an empty bowl and happened to meet the cattle dealer.
