Chapter 47 Teach Shopkeeper Jia a lesson

Jiang Wei took out the spareribs he bought a few days ago, put them in a pot under cold water, added onions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine to remove any blood foam.

Then gradually add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar and white sugar. Finally, add rock sugar for color and reduce the juice over medium heat.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was lighting the fire next to the stove and couldn't help but swallowed after smelling the aroma.

But in an instant, a piece of hot, fragrant sweet and sour pork ribs was stuffed into her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Wei's voice sounded in his ears.

Jiang Xiaoxiao bit her ribs and nodded heavily.

too delicious!

It tastes even better than what she eats in modern times!
  As she thought about it, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the spices on the stove.

These condiments were specially taken out from the space by her mother-in-law and specially packed in ancient porcelain. Others would not be able to tell what is inside.

In ancient times, materials were scarce, especially in rural areas. People in the countryside did not have rice for cooking, so they usually ate corn paste with some pickles, or made into a few vegetable dumplings with wild vegetables.

No other family eats meat as much as the mother and daughter.

But Jiang Wei, who had made sweet and sour pork ribs, still felt that it was not enough, so he stir-fried another vegetable and made some sauce-flavored pancakes.

The preparation of Maotai-flavored pancakes is very simple. Add white sesame seeds, soybean paste, and bean paste. Pour these condiments into the pot, then add half a bowl of water, cook until bubbling, stir evenly, and pour it on the pancakes.

Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onion outside and bite into it and it will be fragrant!

When it was time to eat, the mother and daughter moved the table outside to eat. The wind was blowing outside and it was cool to eat.

After eating a few mouthfuls, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Xiaoxiao, is your mother at home?"

It was the voice of Qiulian Niang.

Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly ran to open the door and said with a smile: "Yes, we are eating. Aunt Qiulian, have you eaten? Come in and eat with us."

"Ah, are you eating?" Upon hearing this, Qiu Lianniang didn't even dare to glance inside, and quickly turned to leave, "Then I'll come back later."

People in the village are most taboo about other people coming to their homes for meals. After all, if they don't have enough to eat, how can they have any extra food for outsiders to eat?

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed Qiu Lian Niang and pulled her straight to her yard, "No, Aunt Qiu Lian, you came all the way here. You're welcome, come in quickly."

Qiu Lianniang could not resist, so she could only be dragged into the yard by Jiang Xiaoxiao. At this time, Jiang Wei had already taken out a new pair of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, and greeted her: "You're welcome, come and eat together!"

"No, no, no, no, you eat, leave me alone." Qiu Lianniang sat down on the small stool brought by Jiang Xiaoxiao and stopped moving, "I came today just to thank you."

"Thank me?" Jiang Wei was stunned.

"Hey, you don't remember?" Qiulian Niang said: "Do you still remember that a few days ago you asked me to take the opportunity to stock up on more food? I happened to have some money at that time and bought some rice to stock up. My mother-in-law also scolded me I was a prodigal, but I didn’t expect that the price of food in the town has now become more expensive than pork, so I resold part of it, not only did I get dozens of kilograms of corn, but I also had a lot of money left over.”

Now, her mother-in-law obeys her every word at home.

Jiang Wei thought about it and realized that such a thing was indeed the case, then he smiled and said: "A few days ago, my daughter complained about the hot weather and said she was afraid of drought and water shortage, so she asked me to buy some food and stock it up. No, I can also make money. With a little money, I bought some ribs and gave them to my daughter as a toothpaste."

Jiang Weishun pointed at the sweet and sour pork ribs on the table and revealed the origin of the ribs in a few words. "Jiang Xiaoxiao is really a lucky star." Qiulian Niang happily touched Jiang Xiaoxiao's head and took out two exquisitely embroidered purses from her arms, "These are the purses I embroidered, one for you and your mother."

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the purse stuffed into her hand. The needlework was fine and the embroidery patterns were exquisite.

Sure enough, as mentioned in the original book, Qiu Lianniang was very talented in embroidery, and coupled with her usual hard work, she could make a living in the era of frequent famines by relying on her embroidery skills.

"Thank you Aunt Qiulian!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao happily accepted the purse. This thing was just for her to hold money when selling ice cream. The previous purse was small and broken. She usually collected money carefully, for fear of breaking the bag and scattering the coins on the floor.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who has short hands and soft mouths, took a few pieces of Jiang Xiaoxiao from the table and handed them to Qiu Lian Niang without explanation, "Aunt Qiu Lian, you can try it. My mother made this by herself. It’s delicious!”

Seeing that everything was stuffed into her hands and it would be impolite to return it, Qiu Lianniang could only open her mouth and take a small bite, and her eyes widened in the next moment.

"How is this made? It's so delicious!" Qiu Lianniang was surprised and couldn't help but take a big bite.

Especially the thick layer of sauce drizzled on the outside of the sauce pancake is simply appetizing!

Qiu Lianniang finished a piece of Maotai-flavored pancake in twos and twos, but she still felt that she was still unsatisfied. She turned around and saw Jiang Weizheng holding five or six pieces of Maotai-flavored pancake in a large clean porcelain bowl and handing it over.

She quickly waved her hand and refused: "That's impossible! You'd better leave such a delicious cake to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao has a weak body and needs to eat more good supplements."

"Don't worry, I made too much and she won't be able to finish it all." Jiang Wei forcefully put the bowl into Qiu Lianniang's hands.

"Aunt Qiulian, you're welcome, take it home for Brother Tiezhu to eat." Jiang Xiaoxiao sat at the table and gnawed on the ribs and said, "I eat well at home, you don't have to worry."

In the end, Qiu Lianniang, who was originally sending a thank you gift, returned home with a bowl of fragrant sauce pancakes.

After the mother and daughter finished eating, Jiang Xiaoxiao took the initiative to put away the dishes and prepare to wash the dishes.

Jiang Wei got up and went to the back room. After a while, he changed into dark clothes and came out, "Xiaoxiao, you stay at home. I'll go out and come back before dark."

"Ah good……"

Jiang Xiaoxiao originally wanted to ask her where she was going, but when she turned around and saw the bag of snakes in her mother's hand, her heart trembled.

She probably knows what her mother-in-law is going to do...

Well, Shopkeeper Jia, I wish you good luck.

Jiang Wei was very punctual and said he would come back before dark.

Jiang Xiaoxiao lit an oil lamp in the house. As soon as Jiang Wei entered the house, she saw stains on the other party's clothes, and the bag of snakes was not brought back.

The clothes Jiang Wei was wearing were very dark, and she couldn't tell whether the stains were blood or something else...

Considering that her mother was a ruthless person who tore apart zombies with her bare hands in her previous life, she might have killed Shopkeeper Jia secretly.

Jiang Wei changed out of his dirty clothes and after taking a shower, he felt refreshed and found the "Three Character Classic" he had bought before, spread it out on the table, and called Jiang Xiaoxiao over, "You are not young anymore, start reading with me today." .”

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was still wondering what happened to Shopkeeper Jia, suddenly heard these words, and her little face suddenly wrinkled, "Mom, it's getting late, why don't we go to bed first and study tomorrow? .”
