"I didn't buy it, it was a gift from the restaurant owner."
Yan Funing put the star anise and other ingredients into categories on the small side table, poured the chicken feet into the basin, and called out: "Beimo, wash Uncle Liu's basket in the river. We have to return it when we go back to town."
"coming."
Fu Beimo trotted into the kitchen, picked up the basket and ran to the river.
Fu Nanyao put the jug back on the stove: "The owner of this restaurant is quite nice. My brother has wine to drink."
"The wine is for cooking, not for your brother to drink."
Yan Funing picked up the wine bottle and put it on the small side table.
Fu Nanyao said: "Using wine to cook food, what a waste."
"Wine is used to cook food, and the food tastes more delicious. If you don't want to eat it, you want to give it to your brother?"
While talking, Yan Funing began to handle the pheasant.
"That's not true. It's used for both cooking and drinking." Fu Nanyao changed the subject, "Does sister-in-law drink alcohol?"
It's best to drink, and if you can't drink enough, then the brother and sister-in-law can become a real couple.
Then she can always eat delicious food! "I never drink." Yan Funing said, "I think you have a lot of free time right now, so go ahead and pluck out your hair."
Fu Nanyao couldn't carry heavy objects, so she helped her carry the basin of pheasants to the door of the kitchen, and thoughtfully gave her a small spoon.
"..." Fu Nanyao frowned, "Then I want to eat chicken legs later."
Yan Funing smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll give you the chicken legs."
Fu Nanyao came out of the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and started plucking her hair.
Where has she ever done such a job before?
She frowned, raised her orchid fingers, and slowly plucked the chicken feathers one by one.
Yan Funing didn't rush her. The pheasant was relatively firewood and had to be cooked for a long would be too much for her to eat at noon, so she could take as long as she liked.
He took out the pickled fish jar by himself, tied a knot in the fish head with a rope, hung it on a bamboo frame in the yard, and started to dry the fish.
After washing the pickled fish jar and washing her hands, Yan Funing began to wash the clothes, shoes and socks that were wet yesterday.
Fu Nanyao at the door of the kitchen was still plucking hair with her orchid fingers.
At this time, Fu Beimo came back, followed by Ali.
Fu Nanyao called to them: "Come and help me, I can't pull it out by myself."
Ali immediately stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and started plucking the hair.
Fu Beimo hung the small basket on the hook at the door of the kitchen, took two small spoons, gave one to Ali, and started to help.
Wet clothes, shoes and socks are actually not very dirty and can be washed quickly.
Not long after, Yan Funing took the wooden basin to the river to rinse.
When she came back and dried her clothes, shoes and socks, the three of them had completely taken care of the pheasant.
Thinking that there was not enough time to cook hard vegetables at noon, Yan Funing went to the east wing to discuss with her mother-in-law.
"Mom, let's have something simple for lunch and something delicious in the evening, okay?"
"Okay." Wan Niang asked, "Do you want to eat noodles? Mom will do it."
"I want to send it to my husband. The noodles will be lumpy. I can make some egg pancakes, okay?"
Wan Niang smiled and said: "Okay, let's eat the egg pancake." - While Yan Funing was making egg pancakes in the kitchen, Fu Beimo's excited voice came.
"Sister-in-law, brother is back and he brought back a lot of meat!"
Yan Funing heard the sound and came out of the kitchen.
I saw that Fu Ciyi's left and right hands were full of meat, all of which were pork are fresh and some have been made into bacon.
Fu Beimo and Ali quickly helped Fu Ciyi carry it, and the two and a half-year-old teenagers laughed from ear to ear.
Two women passed by in the open space diagonally across the Fu family yard.
It was Hu Ajing and Mei Xiang.
They all had a wooden basin on their waists, and they had obviously just returned from washing their clothes at the river.
Seeing Fu Ciyi carrying back a lot of meat, the two of them swallowed one after another and slowed down unknowingly.
Fu Ciyi brought back so much meat, it’s so enviable!
Mei Xiang said: "Ah Jing, it stands to reason that he is your cousin. If you have a good relationship, with so much meat, I will definitely give one to your family."
Hu Ajing snorted: "It's not like our family can't afford meat, who cares about it?"
Having said that, she knew that even those in the village who were not short of money could not eat meat every day. Eating it once or twice a month was considered good.
Mei Xiang added: "Some people in the village are saying that Wan Niang's daughter-in-law doesn't know how to live. She goes to the town every three days to buy meat to eat. I think she is blessed now. How long will she have to eat with so much meat?"
Hu Ajing said bitterly: "The meat brought back today will always be eaten. If you don't know how to live, just wait for the northwest wind."
The two walked away.
In the courtyard of the Fu family, Fu Nanyao was very excited: "Brother, is this Shu Xiu?"
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Yes." Then he looked at Yan Funing and asked, "Where to put the meat?"
Yan Funing thought for a moment and said, "Hang the bacon on the hook in the stove, and put the fresh meat in the basin first."
Fu Ciyi took the two and a half-year-old boys into the kitchen.
There are several hooks hanging from the beams. Four or five strips of bacon are hung on one hook, and there are ten fresh ones, all piled in the basin.
After putting the meat away, the two young men went to the main room and told Wan Niang that Fu Ciyi had brought back a lot of meat.
Wan Niang was overjoyed when she heard the excited voice.
In the kitchen, looking at such a large amount of meat, Yan Funing murmured: "There is no need to buy meat when I go back to town next time. It's just that when school started in late January, they didn't hand in Shuxiu, why did they hand it in together today?"
Fu Ciyi washed his hands with water and said quietly: "According to the parents of schoolchildren, those days were used to test my teaching standards."
Yan Funing said happily: "Well, it means that you are now recognized by them as a good wife!" She continued to make egg pancakes, "There is no time to cook at noon, so the egg pancakes will be enough. Fu Ciyi, if you are hungry, first Eat a piece."
Fu Nanyao just came over, and before he stepped into the kitchen, he heard his sister-in-law calling his brother by his name.
Don’t sisters-in-law always call their brothers “husband”? At this moment, she was called by her first and last name, which made her wonder. Could it be that her brother and sister-in-law were acting sometimes? And the audience is them? Then I thought about it, my sister-in-law wants to give her brother a piece first, does she still have him in her heart?
However, I can't help but wonder.
In order to prove it, Fu Nanyao called out crisply: "Brother, sister-in-law said, give me chicken drumsticks today."
Yan Funing turned her head when she heard the sound and said with a smile: "Yes, I agree." She picked up a piece of egg cake with chopsticks and handed it to Fu Ciyi, "Husband, eat it."
Fu Ciyi took it calmly and ate quite comfortably.
But Fu Nanyao's heart skipped a beat. As expected, her sister-in-law called her "husband" in front of others, while others called her brother by his full name.
It was true that the two had a two-year agreement, but every time she heard her sister-in-law call her brother "husband," she always felt that they had great hope of becoming a couple.
The result of the verification at this moment was a bit difficult for her to accept.
At this moment, Fu Ciyi finished eating a piece of egg pancake and left the kitchen.
Fu Nanyao quickly followed.
"Sister-in-law got a jug of wine at the market." She leaned close to her brother and whispered, "Brother got so much meat today. To celebrate, I should drink a few cups. My sister-in-law cooks delicious food every day. It is very hard, so she should drink. A few drinks.”
It’s great for couples to drink together!
