Chapter 33 Lu Xiang has some skills
Fu Qinhui returned home and brought 30 kilograms of raw duck necks and more than 10 kilograms of raw duck wings.
He borrowed a bicycle from the supply and marketing cooperative to get them back. Lu Xiang was very surprised to see these things.
She had just bought a tricycle and was about to go out and do some work. When Fu Qinhui put down his things, he immediately went up to her and rubbed her shoulders, looking very attentive!
Fu Qinhui said, "I also got the old man's address. I told him to come over tomorrow. If he doesn't come, I can go find him at his place."
Lu Xiang said, "You are so cautious in your work." I just mentioned it to him yesterday, and he did so much.
Lu Xiang immediately started to clean it, boiled some seasoning water and soaked it in it to remove the fishy smell.
After my brother and sister-in-law came back, they saw Lu Xiang doing it again and immediately came up to show their courtesy.
"Old Fourth's family has started making duck necks again. Can I invest in them this time?" Third Sister Fu was the quickest to speak, and the other sisters-in-law laughed at her. They were just wondering what to say.
Mrs. Fu San gave them a start.
Mrs. Fu said, "Yes, we will also take part."
"How much is one share this time?" Mrs. Fu said.
This money is equivalent to free profit. The three sisters-in-law have no other way to make money, and they are just afraid that Lu Xiang will not take them to play.
Everyone knows that Lu Xiang bought a tricycle and still owes money.
Lu Xiang said: "The investment is still one dollar, but you have to work." Lu Xiang's health is not as good as others, and she will have to find more help in the future. Otherwise, she will have to find help. The people in the Fu family are quite capable, and selling food is still quite sensitive now.
If you don't want the villagers to know, it would be best to ask the sisters-in-law of the Fu family for help.
Mrs. Fu said, "Okay, tell me what kind of rough work you want and we'll do it."
Mrs. Fu also said, "That's right!"
Mrs. Fu said, "You're welcome."
Lu Xiang had one of them remove the fat glands from the duck necks, saying they were unhealthy. She also asked someone to get more water while she went in to mix the ingredients. She also asked Mrs. Fu to buy ten pounds of soy sauce. The brigade next door had a soy sauce factory, and the locals all went there to buy soy sauce.
Bulk soy sauce is half the price of the packaged ones bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the color is better.
The soy sauce factory in the neighboring brigade is a village business, not far from their village, but their lives there are much better than theirs. They can get over a hundred yuan every year, and in the past, women from Dayu Village liked to marry there.
Mrs. Fu said, "Okay." She was a bit of a sly person. She didn't like to go out to fetch water or wash things, but she loved to go out to run errands! While doing soy sauce, she could also chat with the people in their village.
Xiao Cailian saw this and secretly said to Fu Qinhui, "You've married a remarkable wife." The three daughters-in-law were good people, but each had a different temper. For example, the eldest sister-in-law was honest but stingy, while the second daughter-in-law was always picky.
Needless to say, the third son's wife is the one who loves to talk the most in the family.
Lu Xiang came in later, and something like that happened, but in the end everyone still listened to her instructions. She is really capable.
Fu Qinhui glanced at Lu Xiang. She was busy, chopping ginger and cutting dried chilies, her feet never stopping.
Seeing her daughter-in-law busy, Xiao Cailian went to cook. The Fu brothers helped with some mending, chopping wood, fetching water, and other rough work. Soon, smoke curled up from the Fu family's kitchen.
Lu Xiang began to stir-fry the ingredients, then added the duck necks and began to stew. Mrs. Fu San returned with two small bottles of soy sauce, looking delighted, as if she had gotten a great deal. As soon as she entered the yard, she said, "They're quite good at business in this village. Seeing that I bought so much, they gave me these two small bottles." Even a small bottle cost thirty cents.
Lu Xiang poured a large spoonful of soy sauce and it quickly colored the dish. The deep red sauce had a tempting flavor.
Xiao Cailian invited everyone to finish their meal.
Lu Xiang used to cook dinner for us. They were all home-cooked dishes, but everything she made was so delicious.
Xiao Cailian’s cooking is also good, but it can’t compare to Lu Xiang’s. Everyone has been spoiled by Lu Xiang, and now they are not used to eating Xiao Cailian’s cooking all of a sudden.
"Mom, don't do it next time."
"That's right. It's far from what the fourth son's wife does."
This made Xiao Cailian angry: "Before Lu Xiang came, you were fine eating the food I cooked. I raised you up. Eat if you like, otherwise get out."
The brothers of the Fu family didn't know whether the old lady was really angry or just teasing them, and none of them dared to speak.
Seeing that everyone was a little slow in taking the multi-grain steamed buns, and there was still half a basket left after eating, he said angrily and amusedly: "I will make them every day from now on, and we can save food."
If Lu Xiang had made them, this basket of grains wouldn't have been enough. I don't know why Lu Xiang could make the same multi-grain steamed buns so soft.
Before Lu Xiang came, Xiao Cailian didn't think there was anything wrong with her cooking. After Lu Xiang came, she lost all her confidence!
Mrs. Fu was still looking forward to eating the duck necks that Lu Xiang had cooked. But she braised them late today, and they weren't ready until bedtime, so she was ravenous. Before going to bed that night, she even discussed with her husband, "Tomorrow morning, let's ask Lu Xiang to save some for us. At worst, we can just buy one."
Third Brother Fu was speechless about his greedy wife: "If Mom knew, she would definitely scold you."
Mrs. Fu snorted, "You talk as if you don't want to eat. Why are you pretending?" Then she turned over and turned off the light with a pull cord.
At night, many families were asleep.
Only Lu Zhaodi's house was still brightly lit. Aunt Lu seemed frightened by Lu Zhaodi's departure. She refused to return to her room at night and insisted on sleeping with Lu Zhaodi, chatting with her about their innermost thoughts.
Aunt Lu said, "You'd better make me worry less. I know you are angry about Lu Xiang's good marriage, and I am angry too! I thought of letting you marry a good relative in the county, so that you won't have to dig for food in the dirt like your parents in the future." She also regretted it, and it would be better for her to be with Fu Qinhui.
Lu Zhaodi said, "Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good. I'm definitely going to marry a city dweller who can earn a living. Tell my grandma not to mess around with my affairs. I have my own plan."
Hearing this, Aunt Lu perked up, sat up and said, "Tell me what you have."
Lu Zhaodi blushed, showing a rare hint of shyness as she said, "I've picked Li Yucai, the reporter you originally arranged." Others didn't know the inside story, but Lu Zhaodi knew that they would be transferred back to the capital soon. Those days were wonderful.
After living that kind of life, you will never want to live a poor life.
Aunt Lu said, "I also want him to be my son-in-law, but he is from the city. How could he like me?" If it weren't for Lu Xiang, they should have been able to succeed, but the matter of the favor was exposed by Lu Xiang. When Mr. Li left, his face was so long, I'm afraid there was some resistance!
