The man's fresh breath brushed past her ears and her cheeks.
It made her ears itch.
However, her hands were not washed and she couldn't scratch them, so Yan Funing gently rubbed them with her wrist.
“I delivered it today.”
As he spoke, he continued to apply salt to the fish.
"Send it back tomorrow."
"Why?" she asked.
With his head slightly lowered, he picked up a fish with one small hand, turned it over, and continued to feel the salt.
Men only affect the speed at which she touches salt.
When asked for a reason, he hesitated and refused to tell me.
Fu Ciyi thought for a moment before saying, "There's a troublesome person who often comes to the village school. I need your help..."
Yan Funing turned her head to look at him, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, you are talking about the village head's daughter, right?"
Fu Ciyi responded indifferently.
Yan Funing lowered her head again and busy herself with the things at hand: "She obviously likes you, don't you like her?"
Fu Ciyi was speechless.
Outside the kitchen, Fu Nanyao pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
After hearing what Yan Funing said, he thought to himself, oh no, she didn't even feel jealous. It turned out that she didn't like her brother at all.
Fu Beimo tried to pull Fu Nanyao, but was glared at by her and retracted his hand in fear.
"My sister looks like a yaksha and my sister-in-law looks like a fairy. Why is there such a big difference?" Fu Beimo couldn't help but mutter.
Hearing this, Fu Nanyao was so angry that she reached out to hit him.
Even though his leg was lame, he still limped after him.
Fu Beimo ran to Ali's house in a flash. How could Fu Nanyao catch up with him?
There was a commotion just now, so it was inconvenient for her to go back to the kitchen window to eavesdrop, so she had to go back to the east wing.
If her brother and sister-in-law continue like this and really get divorced, what will she do?
She has become a picky eater. If she doesn't have a sister-in-law like Yan Funing, she will be picky about everything she eats and will probably go hungry.
In the kitchen, Yan Funing continued, "That's right. How could you possibly fall for the headman's daughter? Just concentrate on studying for the exam. When you get to the capital, you'll find any wife you want. If we continue to get along like this, we can divorce happily. It won't be a problem. When the time comes, I can help you choose a wife. I'm very good at judging people."
Fu Ciyi suddenly felt an itch on the back of his teeth, and he pressed his thin lips into a line.
Yan Funing didn't even notice his expression. She placed the three fish in a jar beside her and then washed her hands.
After washing several times, my hands still smelled of fish, so I cut a piece of ginger and rubbed it, then served all the vegetables in the two pots.
Both dishes were quite generous, filling several large bowls.
Seeing that someone was still pounding, he served him some soybeans and meat and handed them to him: "Try it."
Fu Ciyi took it silently and began to eat slowly.
Yan Funing washed the pot and called out to Fu Beimo.
I shouted a few times, but heard no response.
Fu Nanyao came over and said, "That kid went out to play."
Yan Funing said to her, "Do you want to sew some clothes now? If not, help me light the fire."
"Okay, I'll light the fire."
Fu Nanyao entered the kitchen.
Clothes can be sewn at any time, but food is more important.
There are two pots, one for cooking rice and the other for Yan Funing to stir-fry spicy and sour cabbage stalks.
After the vegetable stems are fried and placed on a plate, cook the leaves that have just been cut in duck soup and a delicious vegetable soup is ready.
--
Dusk falls and the oil lamps light up.
Four dishes were served on the square table in the main hall.
Yan Funing introduced with a smile: "Boiled meat with soybeans and large bone sticks, stewed duck with dried bamboo shoots, hot and sour cabbage leaves, vegetable soup. There are many dishes tonight, so everyone can eat to their heart's content."
Fu Beimo smacked his lips: "Sister-in-law, how do you eat the big bone stick?"
Yan Funing picked up half of it with chopsticks and put it in her bowl: "Just eat the bone marrow and the shank fat in the middle, it's delicious."
Upon hearing this, everyone took half a bone stick.
Fu Nanyao also picked some for her mother.
After eating for a while, Fu Nanyao scooped a spoonful of soybeans and ate with raised eyebrows: "It's delicious. The soybeans have absorbed the meat juice and have a soft and sticky texture. I don't even need to chew it much."
"It would be even better if they stewed pork legs and trotters with soybeans." Yan Funing said, "But pork legs and trotters are much more expensive."
Fu Beimo buried his head in his food and interrupted, "Brother, make more money!"
Fu Ciyi said "hmm".
At this time, Yan Funing said to him, "Husband, I cooked this duck whole, without cutting or tearing it. Please tear it apart and share it with everyone."
Fu Ciyi rolled up his sleeves and divided the duck with two pairs of chopsticks.
Two legs, two duck wings.
"Mom, eat the legs." He first gave one of the legs to his mother.
Wan Niang shook her head: "To Fu Ning."
"The other one is for her." Fu Ciyi gave the other leg to Yan Funing and said, "I've given it to her. Mother, eat it too."
Wan Niang still shook her head: "You eat this alone. You two are the pillars of our family, so you should eat it. I'll just eat the duck breast. Duck breast has no bones."
Fu Beimo said, "I eat duck wings."
Fu Nanyao said, "I eat duck wings too. I like them. My sister-in-law has removed all the hair from them. I will eat them till there is not a single skin left."
Only then did Fu Ciyi pick up the duck leg and put it into his bowl.
After eating pork and duck, the family started eating cabbage stalks.
The crispy, sour and spicy taste goes well with rice.
Wan Niang couldn't help but ask: "How is this done?"
Yan Funing smiled and said, "I bought some vinegar and added it when I fried it. I also added a little bit of chili pepper, and it became this flavor. It helps to relieve the greasiness."
Fu Nanyao shifted her gaze to the vegetable soup. She had cooked vegetable soup several times and wanted to make a secret comparison in her mind.
He scooped half a bowl of soup and drank it.
As soon as you drink it, your mouth is filled with fragrance and it is extremely delicious.
