Swallowed.
Looking at Chen Wu, who is usually the most annoying, now seems friendly.
"Daughter-in-law, where did you get this?"
Chen Wu swore that this was the first time she had seen Old Lady Lu so gentle since she married into the Lu family. There was no hostility on her face, but instead she looked a little more cautious.
Xu Yin pointed outside: "On the roadside, under the tree."
"I saw it and thought I could add another dish, so I grabbed it."
Old Lady Lu closed her eyes and said, "Good job, don't catch me next time."
Xu Yin...
Shen Wu chuckled.
Now the snake was dead, and Old Lady Lu's soul came back. When she heard Shen Wu laugh, she glared at her again.
"This meat is good, but we don't eat this kind of meat at home." He glanced at it and said, "There are at least three or four pounds of meat. I'll go ask if anyone wants to eat it."
Old Mrs. Lu asked Xu Yin to help her tie a rope to the snake, tie a knot and take it out.
But she didn't ask any more questions, and as soon as she went out, the neighbor next door called her.
The neighbor next to the Lu family is a widow on the right. Her husband was bitten by a bear in the mountains a few years ago, and his body was never found. Now she is raising three sons and a daughter alone.
On the left is a family of three generations, similar to the Lu family.
Old Mrs. Lu doesn't get along with others.
To be precise, there are few people in this village who have a good relationship with Old Lady Lu.
This is not.
The two men were bargaining over the price of the snake.
Mrs. Feng, the neighbor on the left: "You snake, you've become like this, five eggs!"
"Give me the achievement. If not, then go find someone else." She had just been lying in her yard when she saw how scared Old Lady Lu was of this thing.
Grass snake, what's so scary about it? Its meat is delicious.
This old lady Lu is also pretentious.
"I have five or six pounds of meat and five eggs!" Old Mrs. Lu was furious when she heard this: "You witch Feng, you are talking nonsense!"
Mrs. Feng: "Then how many do you want?"
Mrs. Lu: “Thirty!”
Old Mrs. Feng: "Don't go too far!"
…
Chen Wu listened in, and finally, they reached an agreement on the fifteen eggs. The two of them handed over the eggs in one hand and the snake in the other to complete the settlement.
The snake brought Mrs. Lu fifteen eggs. She looked at the white eggs and felt very happy.
"Mom, this egg is white. Can I eat it for lunch? Scrambled eggs with chili peppers."
Upon hearing Shen Wu's words, Mrs. Lu held the eggs tightly.
But Xu Yin wanted to eat. There was no meat, no eggs, and the noodles she ate every day were not white flour. She walked towards Old Lady Lu and stretched out her hand: "Give me the eggs."
“This is what my old lady exchanged for…”
Xu Yin frowned slightly and repeated, "Give me the egg."
Thinking of the scene where her daughter-in-law brought the snake into the house and smashed the snake's head with a stone, Mrs. Lu still felt a little scared. Although she was reluctant to give up the eggs, she still took out eight.
"These are for you. They can be exchanged for eggs. It's not only due to your snake's contribution, but also to my contribution. You can get an extra one."
Xu Yin: "Ten."
Once it was in Old Lady Lu's hand, trying to take it out would be like pulling out her tendons, and she felt extremely reluctant.
Xu Yin left such a deep impression on her today that no matter how reluctant she was, she finally took out two more eggs.
When handing it to her, “Eat it sparingly.”
There were only a few eggs, so Xu Yin simply gave them all to Chen Wu: "Let's fry them all."
Old Mrs. Lu felt heartbroken when she heard this. Young people don’t know how to cherish food.
Chen Wu didn't know what Old Lady Lu was thinking. Ten eggs were not a small amount compared to usual. Besides, she never ate scrambled eggs. She always boiled eggs to maximize their value.
In addition to the scrambled eggs with chili peppers, Shen Wu secretly steamed two eggs for Xu Yin.
Without the strainer, her cooking skills make the steamed eggs not as smooth, but in this era, they are already extremely delicious.
"I never thought that one day I would end up in such a miserable state." Xu Yin couldn't help but sigh while eating steamed eggs.
Chen Wu looked at it and said, "If we sell that thing, our lives will be better."
"I want to eat rice."
"I want to, too."
At noon, everyone went home for lunch and was shocked to see the bright yellow eggs and green peppers.
Lu Pan'er asked in surprise, "Aunt San, is there any happy event in our family today?"
Chen Wu raised her chin towards Xu Yin with a cold face.
Xu Yin said, "I picked up a snake and exchanged it for eggs."
Her story was so concise, and this was only because Lu Paner was not annoying when telling it.
Old Lady Lu, hearing this, saw that her heroic spirit was completely lost, so she said to herself, "Didn't you see that snake? It must have weighed seven or eight kilograms. When it flew over, it was baring its fangs and claws..."
…
"Mrs. Feng really got a great bargain!"
She described the story vividly, with saliva flying everywhere. Chen Wu quickly put some eggs into her own bowl, held the bowl and ate at a distance. The snake's weight had increased by almost half in a short time.
That snake was difficult to stew. After Chen Wu had eaten her fill, while reading in the afternoon, she could still smell the smell of the snake being stewed next door. The smell drifted over, it was an indescribable flavor, fragrant, mixed with a fishy smell.
Shen Wu thought it smelled bad.
Some people did find the smell pleasant. While the snake was being stewed, many passers-by on their way to work stopped at the door of Grandma Feng's house.
When they learned that she had caught a snake weighing four or five kilograms, everyone marveled at her good luck.
Old Mrs. Feng was very proud: "It's Mrs. Lu, she doesn't know how to eat! This snake meat is delicious, very nutritious, it's like dragon meat..."
Fortunately, everyone in the village was busy with their own things, and Old Mrs. Feng would not treat anyone to a meal, so everyone chatted for a while and then left.
Chen Wu read a book all afternoon. When she took the time to go to the bathroom, she discussed with Xu Yin about selling wild ginseng in the evening.
at night.
No transportation.
With men around them, it was unlikely that the two of them could sell the wild ginseng quietly.
Finally, the two of them decided.
I need to talk to Lu Xuan and Lu Ye.
We ate eggs together at noon, and the dinner was not much different from usual, still corn stubble porridge, with beans from the yard, a cucumber salad, and a steamed bun made of two grains of flour that was not enough to fill us up.
However, she had an important mission tonight, and Shen Wu was preoccupied with her affairs, so she didn't care that Old Lady Lu was stingy with her ingredients.
Old Mrs. Lu grumbled in her heart about her abnormality.
Lu Xuan took a shower and went into the house. Seeing his wife looking at him with sparkling eyes, his heart softened.
Now, I feel like I have a sense of belonging.
"What are you looking at me for?" Lu Xuan coughed. "Are you feeling unwell today?"
Chen Wu's mind was full of selling the wild ginseng to eat rice: "It's okay now."
"Third brother, I want to discuss something with you." As he said that, he pulled Lu Xuan to sit down.
Lu Xuan looked at her fair skin. He had been bare all night last night, and now he felt full of energy. He extended his arms and said, "We'll discuss it later."
The big hand landed on her waist.
His palm was a little rough, rubbing against her skin. Shen Wu felt a little uncomfortable, but she still held his hand down and leaned close to his ear.
