Yan Funing put the whole duck into the pot, cut the dried bamboo shoots and put them in, and then added the ginger slices and green onion segments and started stewing.
Seeing her busy again, Fu Nanyao took a deep breath and then reluctantly went back to the east wing to sew clothes.
The two main dishes were stewed from the afternoon until the evening.
The neighbor lady next door smelled the fragrance and walked over to the outside of the Fu family's fence to ask, "Wan Niang, what delicious food do you make?"
Wan Niang proudly introduced herself to others: "My daughter-in-law is filial. She cooks delicious food for me all day long, and she changes the dishes every day."
The neighbor lady frowned and thought to herself, she just asked what delicious food to make, Wan Niang said that but didn't answer.
It's definitely not delicious, it just smells good.
Then he smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law is even more filial. She cooks according to my taste every day and brings me footbath water and rubs my feet every night."
Wan Niang said, "As for the matter of foot washing water, even though I am blind, I must not ask my daughter-in-law for help."
The neighbor lady shook her head repeatedly: "Then your daughter-in-law is not filial to you, not as good as my daughter-in-law."
At this moment, the neighbor's daughter-in-law stood at the door of her house and called her: "Mother-in-law, it's time to eat."
The neighbor lady smiled proudly and said to Wan Niang, "Listen, my filial daughter-in-law is calling me to eat. She is very quick and has prepared the meal so early. Your daughter-in-law must be clumsy, slow and dawdling."
Wan Niang smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law's hands are very tender. I know how good my daughter-in-law is. It's enough for me to know. Why should I bother telling you so much? Really."
The neighbor lady said: "Come on, come on, you must say that your daughter-in-law is good." After saying that, she turned around and went back to her yard.
Wan Niang is blind but has good hearing.
Soon, a conversation came from the neighbor's house——
The neighbor's daughter-in-law said: "We're having pickles tonight. Do you want to eat them or not?"
The neighbor lady said: "Wan Niang and her daughter-in-law cook delicious food, can't you learn from them?"
The neighbor's daughter-in-law said: "If you want me to cook something delicious, you can, just take out the silver bracelet."
Neighbor lady: "I gave you one before, and I want to give the other one to my daughter."
The neighbor's daughter-in-law said: "Then you can eat pickles."
Wan Niang shuddered after hearing this conversation. Fortunately, the old man gave her a good daughter-in-law!
Otherwise, how would she, a blind woman, live?
In the kitchen, Yan Funing tasted two dishes and thought they were cooked, so she said to Fu Beimo, "Go call your sister to come and try them."
"good."
As soon as Fu Beimo stepped out of the kitchen, he saw Fu Nanyao limping towards him.
"Hey, no need to shout. I've been keeping my ears open in the east wing."
She has been greedy for a long time.
Yan Funing smiled and shook her head, then filled a soup bowl with a few soybeans and two pieces of lean meat and handed them to the brother and sister.
The two of them picked up chopsticks and started eating without worrying about burning their mouths.
It was so hot that I had to open my mouth, breathe in and out, and fan myself with my hands.
After a moment, they said in unison: "Delicious."
Yan Funing picked up some dried bamboo shoots for them and said, "Let's eat this. The duck is still whole, so we won't tear it apart yet."
The two of them learned their lesson and blew on the food before entering the mouth.
"tasty."
“It’s delicious.”
Yan Funing nodded, filled a bowl of soybean soup with meat, and another bowl of dried bamboo shoots and duck soup.
"Bei Mo, take these two bowls to Ali."
He has been helping with work these days, but he hasn't been paid accordingly, so just consider these vegetables as payment.
Fu Beimo nodded and took the two bowls: "Ali will definitely be very happy."
Yan Funing said, "Tell him that adding some vegetable leaves to the dried bamboo shoots and duck soup would be delicious."
Fu Beimo agreed and walked carefully for fear that the soup would spill out.
Just then, Fu Ciyi came back.
He was holding a food box in one hand and three crucian carps in the other.
Fu Nanyao was standing at the kitchen door. When he saw his brother enter the gate, he hurried to greet him.
"Brother, why did you catch fish? My sister-in-law cooked a lot of dishes today."
Fu Ciyi: “…”
I cooked so many dishes, why should I give him the leftovers from last night?
With this doubt, he entered the kitchen.
Yan Funing noticed the flickering of light at the door, turned her head, and saw someone's fine cotton robe at a glance.
His ultramarine clothes...
Then she lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt.
The color of the stitching on her skirt was exactly the same as the material he was wearing.
Fu Ciyi also discovered that the color between his clothes and Yan Funing's skirt was made of the same material.
You know what, it looks pretty good.
Yan Funing frowned slightly and looked at Fu Nanyao: "Did you sew your brother's clothes?"
Fu Nanyao smiled: "Yes, sister-in-law, what do you think of my sewing?"
Yan Funing nodded: "Good workmanship."
However, her skirt and someone else's robe looked like a couple's outfit for some reason.
Most of the ancients didn't care about these things.
Besides, she wanted to add fabric of this color herself, so she bought two colors of fabric for men.
One piece of cloth can be made into several robes, which can be worn by either him or Bei Mo.
The two brothers will definitely have several sets of clothes in both colors, and no matter which one she chooses, it will clash with his color.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and said to Fu Nanyao, "Make one for Bei Mo as well."
Fu Beimo just came back from delivering food to Ali and said happily, "Yes, I also wear the same clothes as my brother."
Fu Ciyi put down the food box and wondered where to put the fish. Suddenly, he heard what his brother said. He suddenly said, "For this style, sew the indigo one for Bei Mo first."
Fu Beimo grumbled dissatisfiedly: "I want the ultramarine color too."
Yan Funing said, "A piece of cloth is a lot. Let's sew the ultramarine color first. If the two brothers wear them together and go out, people will know they are brothers at a glance."
Fu Beimo clapped his hands happily.
Fu Nanyao had no choice but to agree.
Yan Funing took the fish from Fu Ciyi.
"We have enough food for tonight. I'll pickle these three fish and then dry them into fish jerky. They'll be a good emergency meal when we don't have other meat dishes."
Fu Ciyi said, "Okay, whatever you want."
She likes to eat fish, whatever she wants.
The fish was too fishy to handle, so Yan Funing took the fish and a kitchen knife and went out to the river.
While Yan Funing was away, Fu Nanyao said to her brother, "Brother, my sister-in-law went to the market this morning to buy a lunch box. I heard from Bei Mo that she carefully selected the best ones. And today's dishes..." She opened the lid of the pot, "They are all hard dishes. My sister-in-law made them especially for you. They were stewed for an entire afternoon."
Fu Beimo didn't know Fu Nanyao's intention to bring her brother and sister-in-law together, so he just said, "Yes, sister-in-law spent a long time choosing a lunch box. I wanted to have some snacks, but she told me to wait. Also, I kept the fire burning all afternoon, and my face is all hot."
He patted his face, hoping to get his brother's praise.
But he didn't expect his brother to ignore him at all.
Only then did Fu Ciyi realize that the dishes in the kitchen were freshly cooked in the afternoon, and when he heard that they were made for him, he felt much better than when he had eaten the meal she had sent him at noon.
Not long after, Yan Funing came back with the processed fish.
Seeing that his brother seemed to have something to say, Fu Nanyao obediently pulled Fu Beimo out of the kitchen.
Yan Funing concentrated on applying salt all over the fish body.
Suddenly, someone whispered in my ear: "Can you bring me food again tomorrow?"
