The Tough Peasant Wife: Jin Niang - C14 prawn cake

Chapter 13: prawn cake and River The little river shrimp villagers ate very little, mainly because they couldn’t bear to fry it with oil.

Jin Niang had eaten prawn cake and fried prawns when she was young in her previous life and the taste was very good. She had savored them for a long time, so she naturally had to try them now if she had the chance.

Looking at Lin Dong’s expression, Jin Niang knew what he was thinking. Thus, he smiled and said: “If you help me catch the prawns, I’ll treat you guys to eat prawn cake.”

“What is a prawn cake?” another child asked.

“It’s a kind of delicious cake, do you want to dry it?” Jin Niang said in an alluring manner.

“Of course.” Jin Niang was very sure.

“Alright, I’ll catch them for you, but I want two.” He actually knew how to bargain.

Jin Niang looked at the child in front of him. No wonder those children listened to him.

She smiled and nodded, “But it depends on how many you catch. If you catch less than half of it.” There was a suspicion that he was bullying a child.

Lin Dong, on the other hand, was very confident in himself. He patted his chest and guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I can hold on tight.” He then began to call this group of friends to catch the shrimps.

Su Moyan waited at home for a long time before Jin Niang led four to five children and majestically returned. Her trousers were still rolled up and her body was still slightly dirty.

Su Moyan massaged her forehead as she felt a headache. Had Jin Niang never thought of being a girl?

This, this, what was this!

When he came out, Jin Niang had already poured the shrimp in the small bucket into the big wooden basin he had prepared earlier. Then, he found a small bucket and prepared to go there again.

With the help of these little friends, Jin Niang did not need to personally bring up the matter.

Su Moyan looked at the small prawns in the bowl and curiously asked Jin Niang, “You caught these prawns and brought them back?”

When Lin Dong and the others saw Su Mo Yan, they immediately changed their attitude and became obedient. The image of a scholar in people’s hearts was already deeply rooted, and even their children were affected.

In addition, Su Moyan was indeed different from the other boys in the village. Every day, he wore a green scholarly robe, and his speech and actions were gentle and refined.

So when they saw Su Mo Yan, even Lin Dong kept his mischievous nature to himself.

However, Jin Niang was not afraid of Su Mo’s words. After hearing his words and looking at his face that was filled with disdain, Jin Niang was immediately dissatisfied, “If you don’t like it, then don’t eat it after I finish cooking.”

He looked at Jin Niang’s angry expression and wasn’t sure either, how could this thing taste good? Where is the meat?

However, thinking back on Jin Niang’s cooking skills, she couldn’t be too sure, so she changed the topic, “Are you still going out?”

Jin Niang was in a hurry, she did not want to talk to him, so she nodded and called Lin Dong: “We will be back soon.” he said when she reached the door.

Su Moyan, who was standing behind her, also had a helpless look on her face. Forget it.

However, he still warned her, “Don’t go into deep water. Be careful.”

Jin Niang’s reply came from afar. Su Moyan looked at the small shrimps in the basin and found them quite strange.

After going out and returning, Jin Niang didn’t go capture them anymore. ShShehad already caught quite a few, so she started to prepare to become a prawn cake. He had always kept his promises, and Jin Niang had always kept his promises.

Leaving Lin Dong and the others to play in the courtyard, she found radishes and wild onions, washed them cleanly and cut them into pieces. Then, he scooped out the washed prawns to have a clean drink of water before mixing them with the salt and flour.

There was no other seasonings, but the prawns were very fresh to begin with. Even with salt, they still tasted good.

After washing the wok, she did not hesitate and directly called Lin Dong over to light the fire for her. However, Lin Dong had assigned another child to come over, this one was called Lin Xu, and was slightly skinnier.

had an impression of him. Even his parents were gone, and normally, life with his grandfather would be extremely difficult for him. Fortunately Lin Dong’s grandfather had a skills in cooking, and knew how to become a carpenter.

When there was someone who always bullied Lin Xu, it was Lin Dong who brazenly saved him when he saw this, and he continuously followed Lin Dong after.

This was also why Jin Niang was willing to interact with him. Although the little brat was being naughty and bullying, she was still a loyal person.

After Lin Xu followed Lin Dong, no one else dared to bully him, except, of course, Lin Dong himself.

Lin Xu listened to everything Lin Dong said, even though Lin Dong often bullied him, he still happily followed behind Lin Dong.

Lin Dong ordered him to help Jin Niang ignite the fire, and without saying a word, he sat in front of the stove. Jin Niang did not care about their interactions, as long as she felt that it was good, how could she know about the happiness?

Jin Niang cooked some delicious food inside, and outside, Xia Lanqing came out to greet the children, and even brought out snacks for them to eat.

Xia Lanqing was very happy that a child could come to his home. Previously, every house in the city was closed, and there were very few people coming and going, so after arriving at the village, those people did not come too often.

Seeing that many people had come today all at once, Xia Lanqing wanted to take good care of these children and have them come back to play in the future. But in reality, she still felt lonely at home.

When Lin Dong and the rest saw Xia Lanqing, they were as obedient as grandsons, everyone sat down obediently, Jin Niang took the time to look outside and laughed.

When Su Mo Yan saw his mother excitedly talking to those children, he went to the kitchen to watch Jin Niang play. When came in, he had already prepared a pot of fried prawn cake with oil, and the fragrance immediately came out.

Smelling that the smell was not bad, Su Moyan’s eyes lit up. Lin Xu who was lighting a fire below felt as if there was grass growing in his heart. He couldn’t help but suck in a mouthful of saliva.

The prawn cake was not that big to begin with, so it was only right for seven of them to be fried in one pot. When they were done, they handed Su Moyan a pair of chopsticks with a smile, “Leave one for me, take the rest out and eat with Mother.”

The one that was left behind was for Lin Xu. It was so hard for children to light fires, so of course they wouldn’t leave him out.

Su Mo Yan was a little embarrassed, but seeing how Jin Niang didn’t care and she was extremely envious of herself, she decided to carry it out in the end. She hinted in her heart that she wanted to give it to his mother to eat, not to starve her to death.

Jin Niang only rolled her eyes at his back after he left, then called for Lin Xu to come eat as well.

Originally, she wanted to give him a pair of chopsticks, but the other party just simply grabbed her and shoved her chopsticks into his mouth. Jin Niang yelled at the side, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

Lin Xu’s tongue was burning hot but he still couldn’t bring himself to spit it out. In the end, he didn’t forget to kiss up to his after swallowing it with great difficulty, “Delicious! Big Sister Jin Niang, you’re really awesome!”

How could it not taste good? It was made of both oil and flour, if others saw this, they would probably say that Jin Niang did not know how to live.

Jin Niang would not normally waste so much, after all, she was a person who had just wasted her time. The reason why she was like this today was because she had a plan and wanted to sell this thing.

Sitting in the middle of the mountains while eating, Jin Niang had always been a person with a sense of worry. Seeing how Xia Lanqing ate as if she was eating medicine everyday, when Su Mo Yan wanted to study, he couldn’t help but ask.

Therefore, she had to get up early and increase the income sources for her family.

She had always wanted to brew wine, but that would have to wait until she had earned enough money to buy the glutinous rice. She was afraid that she would not have a source of income to make up for her loss, so she decided to let the matter of making wine first.

, on the other hand, was a trustworthy child. After eating one, he told the others to take one and leave.

Eating a good thing like that would only be luxurious, so he stopped thinking about it.

On the other hand, Xia Lanqing rather liked them, she wanted them to eat another one before she left. He was still a child after all, so she couldn’t resist the temptation and ate another one.

After Jin Niang and the others finished eating, they saw Lin Dong carrying Lin Xu and the others, each of them carrying a bundle of firewood.

This is to compensate Na Nuo for eating too much.

Xia Lanqing laughed and shook her head, “This child, is a good child.”

Jin Niang also nodded her head. Su Mo Yan found it funny, was not even as tall as Lin Dong.

At this time, Jin Niang started to ask Xia Lanqing, “Mother, do you think the prawn cake is delicious?”

Xia Lanqing did not think too much into it, thinking that Jin Niang wanted to take the credit, she laughed and nodded: “Delicious, Jin Niang is truly capable!”

He ignored the coaxing words behind her and asked, “Then do you think that if I sell it, someone will buy it?”

Xia Lanqing froze for a moment, she never thought that Jin Niang would have such a plan, “You want to sell prawn cake s?”

Jin Niang nodded his head, “That’s right, will anyone buy it?”

Xia Lanqing hesitated for a moment before replying, “But you’re still young.”

Su Mo Yan’s eyes lit up when he heard that they could be sold. He was just worrying about the money, but after hearing his mother’s words, he also realized that Jin Niang was still young, and a little girl at that.

He couldn’t just forget that he wasn’t a girl if the other person didn’t treat him as one!

Jin Niang did not care, “Just say it, will anyone be willing to buy it?” She then looked at Su Moyan.

After all, they were people who came from large places, so they should know more about the market than she did.

Su Moyan hesitated for a moment before asking, “Are you really planning on selling this?”

“I caught a lot today because I wanted to sell them. I’ll get Lin Dong to help me, and then I’ll give him the money to work.”

Su Moyan: “…” You are very capable, you even thought of that!

Xia Lanqing hesitated for a while, but seeing Jin Niang’s determined look, she did not say anymore. If she could not sell it, then she would eat it herself, and at that time, he would have to encourage the child. After all, she was still young, so her starting point was also good.
