"Here I come."
After opening the door, Tang Wanning saw Shen Qinian standing upright at the door.
"Ningning, are you alone here?"
"Well, my parents and uncle are still on their way back." Tang Wanning smiled. "You've come just in time. I was just about to cook. Can you help me kill the chicken?"
Seeing Tang Wanning's smiling face, Shen Cinian was stunned for a moment. The little girl really changed every day and became more and more beautiful.
"Okay, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me."
Tang Wanning didn't bother to be polite and directly ordered, "Kill the chicken first, and then kill the fish, rabbit, and duck."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci Nian rolled up his sleeves and walked in, “Okay, leave these to me.”
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go next door and buy two coal briquettes."
"good."
Tang Wanning just looked and saw that the kitchen had a coal stove, fire tongs and a stove, but no coal balls or firewood.
So she planned to go next door and ask, hoping to buy some for emergency use.
Tang Wanning went directly to the house on the east side. As soon as she reached the door, she saw a young sister-in-law washing vegetables in the yard.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm your new neighbor."
The young sister-in-law saw a pretty girl walk in and asked politely, "Just call me Sister Zhang. What's your name?"
"Sister Zhang, you can just call me Xiao Tang." Tang Wanning smiled sweetly, "Actually, I came here this time because I need your help with something."
"They say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. From now on, we'll be neighbors. If you have any questions, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help you."
"I just moved here, and I don't have anything at home. I was wondering if I could buy some coal briquettes and firewood from you, otherwise I won't be able to cook lunch."
"I thought it was a big deal. The coal briquettes and firewood are all here. Just use them and return them when you buy something."
"Thank you, Sister Zhang."
"Don't be polite, we're neighbors." Sister Zhang said, and then as if she had thought of something, she continued, "You don't even have coal briquettes at home. Even if you borrow some, you'll have to start a new fire. Why don't you take a burned piece from me and take it back so you don't have to start a new fire?"
"Sister, thank you so much."
Tang Wanning decided to send some food to Sister Zhang after it was ready.
"What's here? They belong to our neighbors. Okay, everything is here. Take as much as you need. As for the burning coal, I'll get it out for you right away."
"Sister Zhang, I will return these things to you tomorrow."
"There's no rush."
After borrowing all the things, Shen Qinian had already killed the chicken. Since there was no hot water, he couldn't pluck the feathers, so he turned around and killed the fish.
"Brother Nian, I've borrowed the things back. Now I'm going to clean the pot and boil some water."
"Okay, don't worry, take your time."
The kitchen has two stoves and a coal stove, which makes cooking much faster.
After Tang Wanning boiled the water, Shen Cinian went to pluck the chicken.
Just then, the gate was knocked again.
Tang Wanning smiled, "It must be my aunt or my mother who's back. I'll go open the door."
Hearing the little girl's words, Shen Cinian didn't know what he was thinking about, and the tips of his ears turned red.
But he still responded with a hoarse voice, "Okay."
After Tang Wanning opened the door, it was indeed Qin Huiru and her group standing at the door.
"Aunt, cousin, little sister, you're back, come in and help."
"What are you doing..." Qin Huiru hadn't finished her words when she saw Shen Cinian plucking a chicken in the yard. "Who is this?"
"Oh, he's my friend, Shen Cinian. Aunt, you can just call him Xiao Shen. He's a soldier."
After hearing Tang Wanning's introduction, my aunt looked back and forth between the two of them, then smiled and said,
"So you are Ningning's friend. Since you are a guest, how can I let you do it? Just leave these tasks to me."
Before Shen Cinian could speak, Tang Wanning replied naturally, "Aunt, just let him do it. You've been tired all morning, so take a good rest first."
Hearing Tang Wanning's words, Qin Huiru smiled even more brightly.
I originally thought that after what happened with Xu Zhenhua, my niece's future marriage would be a little difficult, but I didn't expect that she would find a partner so soon.
"Okay, let's go inside and get some water, and then we'll come help you later."
"good."
Although Tang Zaozao was young, she understood the situation.
For a moment, she was filled with emotion.
In fact, after learning about her sister's situation that day, she wanted to go to the Xu family and make a big scene to stand up for her sister.
Unexpectedly, some of the Xu family members died and some were imprisoned, leaving her with no place to vent.
Now that she sees her sister has a new boyfriend, who is so handsome, Tang Zaozao should be happy.
But she knew that Tang Wanning liked handsome men, and once she decided on someone, she would be devoted to him.
So Tang Zao Zao was a little worried, wondering if this man would be the same as Xu Zhenhua.
However, seeing her sister smiling so happily, she finally did not express her worries.
Forget it, let’s just observe first.
Thinking of this, Tang Zao Zao looked at Shen Cinian deeply, and then followed his aunt back to the main hall.
"Ningning, the chicken has been killed."
"Chop the chicken, I can't do it."
Without saying a word, Shen Ci Nian picked up the knife and started chopping. "Did you hunt these pheasants and rabbits in the mountains?"
"Yeah, I happened to be moving today, so I wanted to have a good meal."
I didn't expect Shen Ci Nian to come over suddenly. In order not to be exposed, Tang Wanning reminded:
"I told my aunt and the others that I bought these things at the market. If they bring it up later, don't let it slip."
"Why did you hide it from them?"
"I don't want them to worry. After all, the Wild Boar King incident just happened in the mountains."
"Then you should try not to go up the mountain in the future. Just tell me what you want to eat." Shen Qinian's voice was low, and his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised. "Or next time you go up the mountain, ask me to go with you. I will protect you."
"OK."
Tang Wanning planned to braise the pheasant and use the fish to make fish soup. As for the wild rabbit, the rabbit head would be used to make spicy rabbit head and the rabbit meat would be used to make fresh pot rabbit.
Fresh pot rabbit is mainly made of rabbit meat, which is paired with ingredients such as young ginger, green and red peppers, and is stir-fried with seasonings such as bean paste and then stewed.
Because Tang Wanning was willing to use seasonings and she had good cooking skills, the aroma of the braised pheasant soon wafted out.
At this time, Shen Cinian was processing the wild rabbit. When he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, he was so greedy that he started to swallow his saliva.
I didn’t expect that the little girl’s cooking skills were so good. How many surprises does she have that he doesn’t know about?
