Besides being honest and impulsive, the third brother's greatest trait is his brute strength.
Ruan Meng discovered that, apart from the safety of her family, the thing that could unleash her third brother's greatest potential was food.
I'm a foodie!
I hadn't noticed before, but based on the original owner's memories, the third brother ate better than everyone else. The original owner was normal, the eldest brother was a picky eater, and the third brother was a glutton.
Even when eating with him, my older brother would eat a few more bites.
In order to get her eldest brother to eat more, Ruan Meng plans to cook more delicious food for her third brother in the future!
The two sisters-in-law of the Song family have already helped cook millet rice, and washed and chopped the wild vegetables.
They looked at Ruan Meng and said, "Little sister, your cooking is amazing! The other day, Ke'er brought back some wild vegetables, and we cooked them, but none of them tasted as good as yours. What a waste!"
"It's not that the sisters-in-law are being lazy. If the younger sister has time, we'll help you out."
Ruan Meng readily agreed; the request was simple.
With everyone helping out so much, it's just cooking two dishes, I'm very satisfied!
Ruan Meng asked her two sisters-in-law for help, chopping scallions, ginger, and garlic. In less than fifteen minutes, two or three dishes were ready.
Stir-fried dandelion, stir-fried amaranth stems with garlic, and wild shepherd's purse soup.
While waiting for her second and third brothers to return from picking razor clams, Ruan Meng had a brief moment to clean and peel the konjac.
After grinding two basins of konjac paste, add alkaline water and spring water, then let it stand.
"The razor clams are here! Little sister, we're all starving!"
As the tide receded, the villagers were busily lining up to hand over the oysters to the village chief.
The village chief even had his wife come down to help. His eldest daughter-in-law was very organized, and his second daughter-in-law, Bai, was as honest and patient as her husband.
Ruan Meng asked her second and third brothers to repeatedly rinse the razor clams with spring water.
Soaking the razor clams in water helps them expel the sand, but right now, Third Brother can't wait that long.
After the razor clams were cleaned, Ruan Meng divided them into two buckets. She stir-fried one bucket with wild scallions and the other with wild millet peppers and chili oil.
The aroma was so enticing that Fan Zizhong and Fan Zili stopped what they were doing to see what was emitting such a tempting fragrance.
Upon seeing that it was Ruan Meng who was in charge of cooking, they all showed expressions of sudden realization.
It's no surprise that it's Ruan Xiaomei!
Ruan Meng scooped out a few with a spatula and let Fan Zizhong and Fan Zili try them. Fan Zizhong and Fan Zili's eyes widened immediately, revealing an expression of disbelief!
Ruan Meng scooped a few more from the spicy pot and let them try them. The two of them opened their eyes even wider!
It's so delicious!
Fragrant, tender, and juicy!
I've never eaten anything this delicious before!
Fan Zizhong and Fan Zili asked, "Little sister, what is this?"
Ruan Zheng came over following the smell, stole a few clams, and told the two of them what his younger sister had told him about razor clams.
The two men showed expressions of admiration.
Ruan Meng smiled and said, "Brother Fan, Second Brother, there's one more dish in a little while, the konjac you ordered this morning. Once it's ready, we can eat!"
The Fan brothers became even more excited and immediately turned around to continue building the wall.
Ruan Meng scooped out the razor clams, put a small bowl of them in a separate bowl, and had the two sisters-in-law from the Fan family coax the children to eat them.
The third child was also served a separate bowl, and the second child teased, "How dare you? Treating yourself the same as the kids?"
The third brother didn't even look up. "Have you no shame? Why don't you not eat now?"
The second son chuckled to himself and continued to put his chopsticks into the bowl.
After cutting the konjac into large chunks, Ruan Meng went outside and asked, "Brothers and sisters-in-law, would you like your konjac spicy or not?"
This time, the answer was unanimous.
"Spicy!"
Ruan Meng saw that next to the stone house, there were two expanded rooms, each three times the size of the original, which would last for a while.
Ruan Meng walked over to Fan Zizhong and whispered a few words. Fan Zizhong nodded with satisfaction and looked at Ruan Qian not far away.
Back in the stone house, Ruan Meng quickly sliced the konjac, and then cut two of the slices into shreds.
Konjac noodles stir-fried with wild scallions have a light flavor, but are still chewy and fragrant.
Ruan Meng divided the konjac noodles into three small portions and set them aside. She then stir-fried the remaining konjac slices with millet peppers, scallions, ginger, and garlic, filling four large plates.
It is foreseeable that lunch will be a sumptuous meal.
Ruan Qian personally walked up to the village chief and invited the village chief's family to have lunch with his own family.
The village chief glanced at the Ruan family and, seeing that the two wives were working hard and there was indeed no time to go back and cook, he agreed.
Once the oysters are harvested, let's have a blast for lunch!
