Chapter 41 Uncle Shao's mood is not so good anymore
Fang felt a little distressed, but then she thought that these were all bought by Qiao Xuan herself, so she held back and said nothing.
Anyway, she doesn't go into the kitchen every day.
After frying these two dishes, I made some stir-fried sauerkraut fern and stir-fried leeks, and then we started eating.
Everyone was very enthusiastic about the dinner tonight. Shao Taotao and Xiaoqi set the table and served the rice quickly.
In the evening, Uncle Shao came back from the fields with his two sons. On the way, he "coincidentally" ran into Uncle Shao II and they had to stop to talk.
The two brothers were talking excitedly, so Uncle Shao asked Dalang Shao and Sanlang Shao to go first, and soon, Uncle Shao also "passed by".
Uncle Shao hadn't had a good chat with his two younger brothers for a long time. He was very happy to see that his two younger brothers were so respectful and affectionate to him.
However, as he was talking, Uncle Shao's mood became less pleasant.
When he returned home and saw Qiao Xuan, Uncle Shao's mood became even worse, and his brows subconsciously frowned slightly.
He wanted to say something, but seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he held back and thought he would say it after dinner.
When the table was set for dinner, Uncle Shao could not help but be tempted by the rich aroma of meat. He felt sorry for the two bowls of food and complained to Fang: "You really don't know how to live. Why do you put so much oil in it?"
Fang glanced at him before she could say anything. Qiao Xuan smiled and took over the conversation: "Dad, this is the dish I cooked. It has nothing to do with mom! Don't worry, dad, I bought all of this with my dowry. I specially wanted to honor you and mom. You can eat it without worry!"
Uncle Shao was choked up and had nothing to say, but he still said: "Although it is your dowry, don't spend money so recklessly in the future. It is not the foundation for long-term maintenance of the family. It is too wasteful. Have you sent some to your second uncle and third uncle's family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table, which had been lively and noisy, suddenly became stagnant.
No one was too surprised.
In the past, when Xiao Qi got game, most of it was eaten by the second and third wives. Later, when she got game again, Fang would ask Xiao Qi to go to Mr. Yuan's house in the next village to ask if he wanted to buy it. It would be worth it even if he sold it at a lower price.
Only occasionally would he bring back one or two pheasants or rabbits to satisfy his hunger.
Qiao Xuan was startled, then smiled and said, "I was only thinking about honoring my parents, not anything else. I didn't buy much, so I can't give away such a small amount. Why not talk about it next time!"
Uncle Shao was about to speak, but Fang said, "Eat, eat. The food will be cold soon! Your daughter-in-law is filial, so don't be picky!"
Shao Sanlang couldn't hold back any longer, so he took a bite of the ribs, enjoying it so much that he praised them in admiration: "These ribs are so delicious! Fifth brother's wife, you are such a great cook!"
Seeing this, Shao Junyan and Shao Qing could no longer hold back and also clamored for food.
Fang then picked up some food for her grandson and granddaughter, asked everyone to eat, and asked Xu to look after the two children.
Everyone started eating and praising the dish.
While eating, Xu felt distressed and complained silently in her heart: How can meat cooked with so much oil and so many seasonings not taste good?
Uncle Shao: “.”
Uncle Shao had no choice but to eat first.
Two bowls of meat and vegetables were actually quite a lot. Qiao Xuan had good cooking skills and was generous with the ingredients, so the spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the dishes were particularly delicious.
There was nothing left over from the two bowls of food.
Shao Sanlang and Shao Xiaoqi ate up the remaining soup by mixing it with rice in their bowls.
Fang smiled with a look of satisfaction. It had been a long time since she felt so happy!
