Chapter 241 Crayfish

Now that she was sure that she could eat it, the villagers stopped persuading her, Xiaoxiao thought about it, and then said: "From now on, when everyone is harvesting rice, can you also catch the green shrimps in your fields? My family costs five cents a catty receive!"

Let alone five Wen, even San Wen and Liang Wen, the villagers are willing to take on this job. After all, they are all free things. When they harvest rice, they just take it in their pockets. After thinking about it, the villagers became embarrassed: "They all belong to the folks in the village, so you make us feel that you are taking advantage of your family, don't you?"

Xiaoxiao waved her hand grandly: "Don't say that, I can't ask everyone to help for nothing, besides, if I make this thing so delicious, I might order a large amount later, and the price will have to go up at that time, otherwise It became our family taking advantage of everyone."

Ouch, from what this means, the girl from the Ning family is quite confident?
They laughed and didn't take it seriously, just watched the Ning family busy, draining the water from the paddy field, catching the freshwater shrimp, and walking into the field again, it was gone in the morning.

The sun is good at noon, just to bask in the soil. After the rainy season, there are not many days to have such good weather.

In fact, Xiaoxiao asked the county magistrate on purpose, and learned that it was sunny recently to propose to harvest rice earlier. Ning Fengnian originally thought that his own rice grew faster than others', so he agreed after confirming it.

According to the weather, rice can be harvested in less than ten days. He checked it visually, and said to Mrs. Song uncertainly, "Why do I feel that the harvest in our field is much more than our budget?"

Song didn't doubt that he was there, and said along the way: "Perhaps you took good care of him?"

Farmers can't resist such a compliment. Hehehehaha gave dog food to the children, and the husband and wife returned home.

Ning An turned his eyes twitching and asked Xiaoxiao: "The 'good-hearted people try it' you said, do you mean the bandits who were caught in our house earlier?"

Xiaoxiao nodded kindly, the elder brother had already noticed something was wrong, but the second brother believed it [-]% of the time.

Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't come to ask her. Master Chen has assigned him a lot of homework these days to help him enrich his extracurricular life. Da Xia's laws and regulations, sorry to see.

Xiaoxiao decided to make him some delicious supplements, such as crayfish.

There are many people in the family, so there are many flavors that can be cooked. The crayfish caught by Xiaoxiao from the field is abundant, and she secretly exchanged some from the space. The two big pots in the new kitchen are full, and even the steamer is not idle. She chopped garlic with one hand and chopped chili peppers with the other, and sometimes she could mix a seasoning dish and add a handful of peppercorns to the pot, so she was very busy.

When the villagers who came to help build the house saw it, they couldn't help feeling something different in their hearts.

"Qiu Niang, your Xiaoxiao will be thirteen in the next year, right?"

Mrs. Song nodded with a very soft smile: "Yes, she has grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye, and now she is the most capable person in the whole family."

The aunt who asked the question looked around, leaned over and lowered her voice: "Did you say kiss?"

This aunt has a good temper, and she and Mrs. Song often wash clothes and dig wild vegetables together, and now she remembers that it doesn't affect Xiaoxiao's reputation, and she always whispers, so Mrs. Song replied in a good-tempered manner: "Not yet, You also know the previous situation of my family, besides, she is still young."

The aunt didn't mention the "big girl" she just mentioned, but said: "Your girl is a good girl, she is good-looking, smart, and kind-hearted. Her family is prosperous, and she always thinks of ways to help the village. I guess When I grow up in the future, this marriage proposer will step on the threshold."

She moved closer again, put her hand in Mrs. Song's ear and said, "Look, Qiu Niang, can I let my nephew line up first? My nephew is sixteen years old, three years older than your girl. It’s just not too much, and he knows how to love others. Although he has never studied, he learned the craft from a carpenter, can endure hardships, and is honest..."

Mrs. Song glanced at Xiaoxiao again, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart, that girl who cried softly back then, now it's time to say kiss.

"Don't worry about it, we'll see it in two years."

The aunt didn't urge her, she nodded, and the two of them pretended nothing happened, and continued to work on their own.

At this time, a scent that no one could refuse came out of the kitchen with a strong sense of presence. The villagers who were helping the workers couldn't help sniffling, and their eyes couldn't stop looking there.

The sound of the collision of spatulas seemed to suddenly become louder, knocking on their ears one after another. Seeing this, Mrs. Song got up laughingly and proudly, walked to the door of the kitchen and asked, "How is it?"

Xiaoxiao sucked the freshly peeled shrimp into her mouth, puffed her cheeks and gave her a thumbs up. Mrs. Song looked at the dozen pots of covered vegetables on the table in the room, and said loudly: "Everyone, stop busy, rest!" Let's have a meal later, my daughter will cook today."

Ning's family doesn't have many hands, but there are more than a dozen helpers, so usually everyone brings their own food. It's rare that Xiaoxiao is at home today and cooks by herself. The villagers who have long been curious about her cooking skills don't need to say hello, just go Get water and wash your hands and sit down.

The woman who came to help went to the kitchen to take out all the covered dishes that Xiaoxiao had prepared.

Farmers’ meals are affordable and convenient, and they don’t like the kind of small dishes and small butterflies that rich people pay attention to. They just think that no matter how beautiful the stuff is, they can’t fill their stomachs, so Xiaoxiao cooks for them. Big sea bowl and iron basin.

The lids were lifted one by one, and the real sauced big bones and braised pork made the villagers almost embarrassed to move their chopsticks. Of course, they were a little embarrassed on the surface. No one will eat meat every meal.

Generally speaking, when someone builds a house in the village, they invite their neighbors to help each other on a blind date, and then depending on the situation of each family, if the conditions are better, then they will be paid a wage; if the conditions are more difficult, they will send a piece of meat and a basket of eggs, and then invite Everyone eats meaty food, and no one will say anything.

There is also a saying about this meat, from meat pieces to shredded meat, it may appear, but like the Ning family, they directly put the whole piece of braised pork and the whole bone on the table as if they don’t need money, and let everyone open It's really the first time to eat.

The villagers accidentally ate too much, and the bottom of the bowl and basin realized that they were eating amazingly. They thought they were going to make a joke, but Song asked with a smile, "Do you want to add some more? It's all about physical strength." If you don’t have enough to eat, where does your strength come from?”

The Ning family is really kind, but they really can't eat anymore, mainly because they are embarrassed to continue eating.

Xiaoxiao brought out the crayfish under such circumstances.

Considering that the ancients in this era were not familiar with crayfish as an ingredient, she removed the inedible shrimp heads, gills, stomachs and intestines before making the shrimp.

So now just peel and eat.

Granny Ning, who was passing by with her clothes in her arms, smelled the fragrance and glanced into the room, and happened to be spotted by an aunt who had a feud with her: "Oh, I thought someone was peeping here, it turned out to be Sister Liu. , why, there is no food or meat at home, come to borrow from your stepson who has separated?"
