Skillful Wife of Military - C37
Xu Hui could not help but want to laugh. Seeing that Xiao Dayong had almost done stirring the dough, he started to knead the dough with both hands. Under his great strength, the dough quickly became smooth and smooth.
Seeing that he had almost finished kneading the noodles, Xu Hui quickly covered the basin and told Xiao Dazong to put it in a warm place behind the stove and wait for the noodles to be served.
While the noodles were being cooked, Xu Hui poured the red beans into a wooden basin to wash the beans. Although the beans had been cleaned, there was still dust on them that had to be washed away. After washing the beans and soaking them in water for two hours, she would be able to cook them into bean paste.
Soaking the beans, Xu Hui stirred the porridge in the pot and saw that it was almost done. She asked Niuniu to transfer the firewood into the small stove, took out a few eggs, added some onion sprouts into the bowl and seasoned them, then poured the oil into the small stove, poured the beaten egg liquid into the oil pot and scooped it up until there was more egg juice, then she asked it to slowly move to the side until it was solidified. Gradually, the egg liquid in the pot solidified into a fragrant egg cake and Xu Hui scooped it into the plate with a shovel.
He then took out a few Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce s from the jar and placed them into three bowls of porridge, then said to Xiao Dazong: “The kitchen is warm, how about we eat in the kitchen?”
Xiao Dazong nodded his head and the three of them ate their breakfast with hot porridge, fragrant egg cake and sour cabbage.
After eating the hot roasted sweet potatoes and the red beans had been boiled, Xu Hui took the red beans out of the wok to dry. After eating the hot roasted sweet potatoes and the red beans had been boiled, Xu Hui took the red beans out of the wok to dry.
Niuniu happily received it, scooped a spoonful of it and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes curved into a smile as she said, “Delicious!” Xiao Da Yong chuckled. Xu Hui scooped a spoonful and passed it to Xiao Da Yong’s mouth. Xiao Da Yong’s face was red as he waved his hand. “Wifey, you eat, I won’t eat.” How could he be as greedy as a child?
Xu Hui, however, passed the spoon to Xiao Dazong. “This is our house, we can eat whatever we want.”
Xiao Dazong smiled and opened his mouth to eat the red bean sand. Xu Hui smiled and asked, “Is it sweet?”
Xiao Da Yong kept nodding his head. When he was young, his mother had also given him this kind of red bean paste. It was so sweet and fragrant!
After making the red bean paste, Xu Hui looked at the yellow rice noodles. It was almost done. The rice noodles had almost doubled in size. The lid of the basin had been arched up.
Xiao Da Yong originally wanted to help Xu Hui with her job, but upon hearing that he had returned, some of the villagers in the village who were soldiers in the Camp knew about it, they came to find him and got him to do it. Xiao Da Yong had just finished taking out the dough from the basin and kneading it, and before he could even wrap it up, he was called to the upper house by the Xiao Pao.
Xu Hui saw Niu Niu was curious, so she pulled her along to make a deal. Niu Niu was very excited, she had never fought before, the Xiao Li’s disease did not let her, he was afraid that she would be too small to make a fool of.
She first dug out a piece of dough and kneaded it in her hand. The dough was a little sticky to her hands, so she used her fingers to press it into the middle of the dough, forming a cone. Then, she scooped up a spoonful of soybean sand and filled it in, compacting it tightly before putting it in her mouth. He had to squeeze his mouth tightly, otherwise it would be exposed when steamed. Afterwards, he would knead the dough into a circular shape, placing leaves on top of the curtain and placing them on a piece of cloth. Then, he would be done.
Niuniu did what Xu Hui did, and even after a while, she was still able to get some rewards. Although her mouth was not firm, she was still praised by Xu Hui. Niuniu was very happy and worked even harder.
Once the dishes were wrapped, they would start cooking. The new dishes were yellow and still steaming. Xu Hui picked up a leaf that had been placed under the pot and looked at the results of her hard work. Although each piece was not well-proportioned, they were the size of a thin filling. The fragrant yellow rice flour paste and the sweet and soft bean paste had slightly sticky teeth. The little red beans in the bean paste hadn’t been completely crushed yet, but they still tasted very good.
Niu Niu dipped her candy into the soup and ate another one. She still wanted to eat more, but unfortunately, her body was small, her stomach was small, and her mouth had never been idle. Xu Hui also ate two, but he could not eat any more.
Looking at the time, he reckoned that Xiao Pao might want to keep Xiao Dayong here and have lunch with the people from the village. Xu Hui took out a small basket and asked Niu Niu to bring it to the house.
Although she was young, she knew that the Xiao Li’s disease and the rest did not like her, especially when she was with Xu Hui. She knew how nice people were to her, and her hatred towards the Xiao Li’s disease and the rest grew. Niuniu was small, and had never been deeply affected by filial piety, so she acted very straightforwardly. Xu Hui was afraid that Niuniu would be at a disadvantage. Normally, he would teach her how to hide her feelings from others. Niuniu did a good job in front of outsiders, just that she was straightforward in front of Xu Hui.
Xu Hui pinched Niu Niu’s face and smiled, “Look at your stingy look, this isn’t your brother here. Let him have a taste of our new dish, and remind him that your grandpa hasn’t given us the rice noodles yet!”
As for the Xiao Li’s disease, Xu Hui would never be a good person. The basket for showing off good stuff was very small, but it would be filled in a dozen or so people.
On one hand, it was to remind the Xiao Li’s disease that the rice noodles were delivered quickly. On the other hand, most of the villagers did not know that their own homes were open for cooking, so it was a good opportunity to let everyone know that in the future, if there were any problems, they would put our family together with the rest of the Xiao family. As for what the villagers would say when they found out, it was not something that Xu Hui would care about.
When Niu Niu heard that it was to let her brother have a taste, she picked up the basket and went to the top room.
Xu Hui put the cooked meat out of the house. It was very cold outside, and before long, the steaming meat was frozen. However, I heard that the villagers prefer to get a job at night. The temperature at night is even lower, so the job is even harder. However, Xu Hui was very afraid of the cold. She did not want to stay up late to make money.
The frozen food would be placed in a jar, placed under the eaves of the house, and eaten with a heat that was almost the same as the one that had just been steamed. It could be kept for the entire winter.
Having put away the bounty, Xu Hui suddenly thought that this was the same as the refrigerator. If that was the case, wouldn’t she be able to buy some tofu and freeze it outside? That way, she would be able to eat frozen tofu. Xu Hui could not help but swallow her saliva as she thought about the taste of the tofu stewed in the hot pot.
While Xu Hui was busy preparing her dishes, the atmosphere over at the main house was not too good. The change in atmosphere was due to the small basket of freshly cooked dishes that Xu Hui had Niu Niu deliver.
When the rest of the people at the table saw that Niuniu had specially sent some food over, they couldn’t help but praise the delicacies of the bun. Xiao Pao was originally smiling, but after hearing Niuniu say that it was prepared by her sister-in-law, the people at the table curiously asked Xiao Da Yong if he had fired his gun, causing the Xiao Pao to not be able to laugh.
When someone asked him, he just calmly said that his own family had indeed opened fire. When he went back yesterday, his daughter-in-law was already betting on him and wanted him to eat good food. Xiao Dayong was happy, how could he pay attention to what the Xiao Pao was thinking, and whether or not his complexion was not good.
Hearing Xiao Da Yong’s words, the villagers looked at Xiao Pao with a strange expression. From what Da Yong and Niu Niu said, they seemed to have started the fire themselves not long after they passed through the gates of New daughter-in-law.
Xiao Da Yong had gone to war for a few months, so why would New daughter-in-law only cook and work with this sister-in-law for so long?
This was a bit too inexcusable. They were all living under the same roof. Not only did the family help each other, they didn’t even allow the top family to work on their own. Although they didn’t say anything, everyone could not help but think of the rumors in the village. It seemed that the Xiao family was not good for the Xiao family.
Some people were looking at Niu Niu with interest, but in just a few months, she had grown fat and taller, and could even talk so fast. It could be seen that the New daughter-in-law was taking care of her carefully, so the Xiao family wasn’t taking care of her enough!
The crowd’s strange looks made Xiao Pao’s expression turn even worse. He hurriedly smiled and said the matter of him asking the old woman to give the white rice noodles to him after he returned. When everyone heard this, they praised the Xiao Pao for pampering his grandson and treating Xiao Dayong well.
Niu Niu interrupted, “Is what you said true? I thought you were joking. You didn’t even give us our milk! ”
Everyone looked at Xiao Pao, whose face was dark as he said in embarrassment: “Your breast has had a headache recently, I might have forgotten about it, but I’ll send it over to you guys in a while. Come here, let’s eat!”
Everyone exchanged knowing glances, and no one said anything more about it. They only felt that the lively table had suddenly become much quieter.
