Chapter 96 Poor Master Yin

"Uncle Zhou, who were those two people just now?"

"A man and a woman."

Zhou Qian was afraid that the little girl might see something she shouldn't see, so he didn't give way until the girl was gone.

"Don't go out so far alone in the future. Try to find someone to go with you."

Jiang Wan nodded, agreeing with her mouth, but in her heart she was still thinking about the two people who had just been drunk away by Uncle Zhou.

It was obvious that the two were not doing anything serious; they were probably having a tryst.

It's a pity that I didn't see who it was.

Jiang Wan followed Uncle Zhou and walked slowly back home. When she got home, she wanted to pour him a bowl of sugar water, but Uncle Zhou put down his food and left, as if he was afraid of being seen and gossiped.

By the way, the uncles who were building the toilet have already gone home, and it’s just me and my mother at home, which is indeed a bit sensitive.

There is always trouble around a widow, as the old saying goes.

Although A Niang is not a widow, she is almost the same. Whether in modern times or in ancient times, both mother and daughter treat that scumbag father as a dead man, so she is a widow.

In the future, my mother will have to see all kinds of patients, and there will definitely be men coming and going in our house. I hope the villagers will not spread any gossip.

Otherwise, no matter how nice the village chief was or how beautiful the scenery was, she would take her mother and her uncle's family away from here.

Even though she doesn't have much money now, as long as she sells the method of making oyster sauce, she can immediately earn hundreds of taels of silver.

It's still possible to buy a small yard in the city.

"Wanwan, you bought coconuts!!"

Hearing A Niang's excited voice, Jiang Wan immediately came back to his senses.

"How about it, are you happy? Let's make coconut chicken tonight!"

"Okay, okay, I haven't had coconut chicken in years. I really miss it. I have wolfberries and red dates in my medicine box. Remember to take some."

Yin Huaixi, who was originally listless, suddenly became energetic again.

"Eh? Where did you buy the chicken? Why is it plucked and chopped into pieces?"

Jiang Wan wanted to laugh when talking about this.

"It was Xiao Yuanzi's grandmother. She said I definitely wouldn't kill a chicken and she just cut the chicken's neck for me. Then she said our knife was too good and she wanted to use an old one to chop the chicken. She also said she would lend us a wooden block, and finally she just did it herself."

Yin Huaixi also laughed.

"This old lady is quite lovely. Let's make some delicious food and send some to her."

Jiang Wan nodded while packing the things in the backpack.

"That's what I was thinking, too. I'm going to make some more crispy fish later. I also want to send some to the Zhou family. I'm so grateful to Uncle Zhou for helping me get these back today, otherwise I would be really dumbfounded."

Hearing Uncle Zhou, Yin Huaixi was stunned.

"Brother Zhou? Is he here? Why didn't I hear anything?"

I clearly went out as soon as my daughter came back.

"He was walking ahead of me. He put the things down and walked away. I couldn't catch up with him."

Yin Huaixi nodded, and she quickly understood why Zhou Qian didn't stay longer.

"We should also send some to the Zhou family. Then go fillet the fish first. It will take a long time to sort out so many."

There has to be someone in the kitchen, otherwise she and her daughter can be together faster.

Jiang Wan also understood, so she took a wooden basin and picked out all the sardines.

The sardines here must weigh about five or six pounds. It would take too much water to process them at home, so it is more convenient to take them to the river.

As soon as she walked out of the yard with the basin in her arms, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Cousin, cousin!!”

Yin Ning came fluttering like a butterfly when she heard her cousin calling her, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with happiness.

"Cousin, you are going to catch so many fish. I will go with you."

"Okay, okay!"

Jiang Wan handed the basket to her cousin with a smile, asking her to help her share some of the weight.

"Uncle and aunt, my cousin and I are going to the ditch to collect fish~"

"Go ahead, but go slowly on the way."

Song Wenhui, who was walking behind and supporting her husband, looked at the two girls lovingly until they walked away. Only when they were out of sight did she support her husband into the yard.

The two sisters chattered all the way, and when they reached the ditch, they found a flat place and started cleaning up.

Sardines are small, and it takes a long time to scale and remove the internal organs, which is not as convenient as large fish. However, the two sisters kept each other company, so they didn't feel bored when they had someone to talk to.

Each of them was holding a bamboo stick and scraping the scales, and their movements were very skillful.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the fish was almost cleaned.

At this time, two more people came to the river, they were a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The young wife kept her head down as she was scolded, looking pitiful. Her mother-in-law looked very powerful and never stopped talking.

"Tell me what else you can do in a day? I asked you to wash a few dustpans and I broke one before you even left the house."

"I spent two taels of silver to buy you. Do you think you are worth these two taels of silver?!"

"All they do is eat, they can't even lay an egg!"

The sisters' good mood was instantly ruined, and Jiang Wan couldn't help but add a sentence.

"Auntie, humans don't lay eggs."

The old lady was about to get angry when she heard this, but when she turned around and saw that they were two strange girls, she immediately remembered what had happened in the village recently.

These should be the exiled Yin sisters.

The curse words that were on her lips could not be uttered for some reason. She still hoped that her grandson would go to school, so she could not offend anyone.

At this moment, the expression on the old lady's face switched smoothly from anger to astonishment and then to an unnatural smile. It is estimated that even the people in Sichuan Province could not change their expressions as quickly as her.

The old lady didn't dare to scold the two of them, but turned around and disdained her daughter-in-law in an even lower voice.

The daughter-in-law raised her eyes when Jiang Wan was talking, and Jiang Wan recognized at a glance that she was the young lady who had seen her mother for medical treatment today.

From what her mother-in-law said, Jiang Wan seemed to understand what illness this young lady wanted to see her mother for.

This is because I feel I am infertile.

But men also play a role in having children, so maybe this is the man’s problem.

But she didn't dare to say this here. After all, she was still too young, and it would be bad for her reputation to talk about such things between men and women, and the girls in the family would be affected.

This is such an evil feudal society.

Jiang Wan was helpless and could only quickly finish the fish and go home with her cousin to cook something delicious to calm her mood.

At this moment, oyster sauce is still being boiled in the kitchen, but one pot has been emptied.

Jiang Wan was going to marinate the sardines first, and now she was going to use her secret weapon.

In ancient times, there were few seasonings, but in fact, many seasonings could be made by yourself. For example, five-spice powder can be made with cinnamon, star anise, cloves, fennel, and peppercorns.

These were all medicinal herbs in ancient times, and you could buy them all at a pharmacy.

Jiang Wan had asked her mother to buy it a long time ago, but she had never used it.

Now, marinate the sardines, add some salt, sprinkle some five-spice powder and pour some old wine.

Wait a while and then coat it with flour and fry it in oil.

The little girl cooked very seriously. No matter how hot the room was, her aunt and cousin were always inside talking to her and helping her.

There was constant laughter in the kitchen.

Outdoor

Yin Huaishan held a stick and blocked the ants' path out of boredom.

If this leg gets any worse, he really doesn't want it anymore.
