Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 20

Just like that, Nanyan and Xiangmei started to eat in the hill with a pair of wooden chopsticks.

"Sister Yan, what's the name of this food?" Xiangmei smacked her lips after eating, looking very cute.

"This..." Nan Yan hadn't thought about what to name this dish, after all, it was made temporarily with local materials.

This food is numbing and spicy, and the salt is just right. The only thing missing is that there is no oil, and the bread looks a bit dry.

If it is placed in modern times, Nan Yan can make it very delicious with just a few condiments.

"Let's call it Boiling Cake for now!" Nan Yan said.

Because after boiling, the noodles are soaked in the seasoning and still rolling, and the spicy taste is very similar to the taste of boiling fish, so Nan Yan named the food like this.

"Mei'er, when I go back, my sister will make you more delicious boiling cakes. After all, the ingredients here are limited, so we can only make do with it."

Xiangmei nodded, satisfied, "This is already delicious, I never thought that such a few simple ingredients can make my mother's bland flatbread so delicious, but I'm still looking forward to Sister Yan's order." I will cook more delicious ones for Meier again. Sister Yan, with your skills, you definitely have the talent to be a great chef. Soon, Sister Yan will be able to open a restaurant as she wishes!"

"Mei'er, you are the only one with a sweet mouth!" Nan Yan was amused by Xiangmei, and kept laughing.

After a beautiful meal in the mountains, Nan Yan and Xiangmei took a nap, picked up the hatchet and continued to chop wood.

At this moment, he was chopping more vigorously than in the morning. After all, he had a good meal, his stomach was full, and his strength was doubled!

After a while, the two people's back baskets were full of firewood.It was already noon now, and it was time to go back.

"Sister Yan, that thing called Zanthoxylum bungeanum is really delicious, let's pick some more and take it home for cooking!" Xiangmei still can't forget the taste pleasure brought by Zanthoxylum bungeanum as a condiment.

This reminded Nan Yan that as a condiment, such ancient people did not know the taste buds of pepper in food.

Since the local area is not rich in prickly ash, the quantity is limited, so Nan Yan and Xiangmei raised their heads to pick them.They didn't give up until the top was out of reach.

In ancient times, cornel was commonly used as pepper by common people, so it can be seen in front of the house and behind the house, and there is no need to go down the mountain from here.

Nanyan and Xiangmei returned home happily, listening to Xiangmei humming a country song along the way, they would not feel how far the road under their feet was.

"What is this, it's really unpalatable!"

The two returned to West Lake Village in the warm sunshine at noon. As soon as they reached the gate of the courtyard, they heard Miss Yu Ranyue's dissatisfied complaints.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that Aunt Zhang was holding a large bowl of sticky white porridge in front of Yu Ranyue who was sitting at the stone table in the yard. She stirred it twice with a spoon, and dropped the spoon unsatisfactorily.

Yu Ranyue had a sleepy look on her face, she probably just woke up from sleep, the bowl of porridge on the stone table was her first meal of the day.

Seeing Yu Ranyue go crazy, Aunt Zhang took two steps back in fright without making a sound.

"I want to eat white fungus and lotus seed porridge. What is this? It's white and tasteless. I don't want to even look at it!" Yu Ranyue said again with disgust.

Nan Yan and Xiangmei stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched for a while before realizing what was going on. Then they looked at each other, and then they both looked at the picky Yu Ranyue with hatred.

When Qi Yuhao was not at home, Yu Ranyue claimed to be the overlord.It's fine if you can't get along with Nan Yan, even Aunt Zhang next door has become her punching bag innocently.

"Mother, if she doesn't eat, I will eat. Sister Yan and I just came down from the mountain. We are tired, thirsty and a little hungry. This is just for me to eat. I don't think it tastes bad!" As he said, he stood up to fight for his mother. Xiangmei unloaded the basket full of firewood behind her, and ran over to pick up the bowl of soft porridge.

Ordinary farmers would never boil a bowl of porridge so thick. After all, each family has a large population and food is so precious. Of course, the thinner the better, it is enough for a large family to cook.

Since this bowl of porridge was for this young lady, Aunt Zhang naturally didn't dare to be negligent. There were a lot of rice grains in this bowl of porridge.

"Sister Yao, don't make trouble!"

Just when Aunt Zhang came to her senses and wanted to stop her, Xiangmei had already picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip of it.

"Well, it's really delicious! It's much better than the porridge with thin soup and water in our family." Xiangmei licked her delicate lips with the tip of her tongue, and said happily, "Sister Yan, you are also hungry Huh? Come and drink."

As she said that, Xiangmei took out a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen next to her, divided the original full bowl of porridge into two equal portions, and handed them to Nan Yan who walked in slowly.

Yu Ranyue naturally couldn't bear to see the scene in front of her. You must know that she had been sleeping from last night until this noon, and if her empty stomach hadn't woken her up hungry, she wouldn't have gotten up right now.

When people are extremely hungry, even the things they don’t like to eat on weekdays can be treasured, not to mention this bowl of fragrant and sticky white porridge that everyone can accept.

Seeing Nanyan and Xiangmei drinking so deliciously, Yu Ranyue wanted to have a couple of mouthfuls.It's a pity that face is at stake, just to save face of a general's little daughter, she insists on eating tremella and lotus seed porridge.

"I want to eat white fungus and lotus seed porridge, go and make it for me!" Yu Ranyue ordered with her hands folded on her chest, her mouth pursed.

"Miss, I'm sorry, we don't have white fungus or lotus seeds at home." Xiangmei squinted at Yu Ranyue, then bowed her head and sipped the porridge beautifully.

"you!"

Here, only Xiao Xiangmei, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, dared to contradict her, and Yu Ranyue's chest, which was already hungry, heaved and fell.

Xiangmei was indeed not lying. Some of the farmers in this family would pay attention to what tremella and lotus seeds they ate.Not to mention that the high price is one thing, even if there are these things, no one makes them, and they are too troublesome, so it is not as simple and convenient as a big bowl of porridge.

"I didn't talk to you, don't interrupt!" Yu Ranyue also knew that Xiangmei was just a child, and it was really boring to argue with her.She raised her head and turned to look at Nan Yan, "You, what I'm talking about is you, you do it for me!"

Nan Yan took a mouthful of thick porridge, and looked up at Yu Ranyue, "Miss, there are no lotus seeds, white fungus, etc. in this kitchen. This is the countryside, and there are no such things for sale."

Nanyan's tone was much better than Xiangmei's. After all, she was working for Qi Yuhao, and this noble lord is Qi Yuhao's friend, so she shouldn't offend too much.

"Then go to the market in the city and buy it for me. I'll wait, go!" Yu Ranyue couldn't tolerate any disobedience, she was as proud as a princess in the palace.

"You're deceiving people too much, right? The sun is almost setting, and the stalls in the market have already gone home. Where do you ask Sister Yan to buy it for you?" Xiangmei couldn't stand it anymore, and said unfairly.

"Sister Yao, don't be rude!"

It was very difficult for Aunt Zhang to stand aside. On the one hand was her favorite girl Yan, and on the other was the lady from the general's mansion in Beijing.It's nothing to help anyone, and the only way is to let my beloved little daughter Xiangmei stop causing trouble here.

Yu Ranyue couldn't bear this villain to stand up against her again and again, she stood up nimbly, and knocked over the bowl in Xiangmei's hand as soon as she stretched out her hand.

The large dark-brown bowl fell on the muddy floor and shattered into two large pieces, spilling the remaining porridge all over the floor.

"What are you doing?" Xiangmei was furious, but she was also taken aback by the sound of the overturned bowl falling to the ground just now, her eyes filled with tears.Without any scruples about Yu Ranyue's identity, she pointed her finger at her, "You broke my bowl, you pay, you pay!"

Seeing that Xiangmei was frightened, Aunt Zhang quickly stood behind her and hugged her into her arms.

Nan Yan couldn't stand it anymore.It's okay for Yu Ranyue to be unruly and willful, but she can still act so rudely to a child.

"Miss, you vent your anger on me as soon as you get angry. Why do you do this to a child?" Nan Yan put down the bowl in her hand and stared straight at Yu Ranyue.

"You dare to stare at me?" Yu Ranyue was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, her pretty face was suddenly deformed into a hideous look, "Go, go quickly! Buy white fungus and lotus seeds and come back and make porridge for me!"

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl that Nan Yan had just dropped on the stone table in front of her, and quickly threw it at Nan Yan's head.

"be careful!"

It was too late, and then it was too late, just when Aunt Zhang and Xiangmei shouted, the heavy bowl had already hit Nan Yan's right forehead, and the white porridge was sprinkled on her green light Luo, and finally the bowl naturally The ground fell on the dirt floor and broke in two again.

In just a short while, the two bowls became heroic victims in Yu Ranyue's hands.A red spot appeared on Nanyan's forehead, Xiangmei was so frightened that tears rolled into her eyes, and Aunt Zhang sighed...

"Get out, take your daughter, get out of here!" Yu Ranyue was arrogant, pointing at Aunt Zhang and Xiangmei, asking them to go back, implying not to meddle in other's business.

Xiangmei wanted to open her mouth to refute, but the wronged Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and dragged her to the gate of the yard with one hand.

"You servant, what are you still doing here? Go and buy white fungus and lotus seeds, don't come back if you can't get them!" Yu Ranyue kept being aggressive, making the whole yard jump.

Nan Yan gently stroked the bruised forehead, making "hissing" sounds from time to time.She ignored Yu Ranyue's instructions and walked towards the broom on her own, preparing to clean up the broken bowls in the yard.

And just when Aunt Zhang took Xiangmei to the gate of the courtyard, Qi Yuhao came back, followed by a guy carrying a new bathtub, walking towards the courtyard step by step.

Finally looking forward to a savior, Xiangmei's eyes lit up immediately, and the crystal clear tears in her eyes couldn't help but slip down.

"Brother Yuhao, you are back!" Xiangmei broke free from Aunt Zhang's arms, stepped forward and grabbed Qi Yuhao's clothes, "Brother Yuhao, look at this yard, she did it all!"

Xiangmei pointed at Yu Ranyue with one hand, tears of grievance rolled down her eyes!

　Finally, I changed the blocked words in the previous chapters, Apple Butter said I was speechless! ~~
