Chapter 227 Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup
Chen Xiaohua thought that even a boastful person wouldn't dare to boast that he wanted to be the wife of the city lord of Sishui City.
“I’m not joking, because…”
Lin Yuesha was also helpless. She explained the whole story and then unbuttoned the buttons on her chest. The tattoo of the rosewood flower was the best proof.
"It seems a bit too big."
After reading it, Chen Xiaohua muttered to herself.
Lin Yuesha: "..."
Is that the point? The point isn't her figure, but the Mu Xianghua tattoo!
"This was left behind by the city lord of Sishui City himself?"
Chen Xiaohua stood up and rubbed it with her hand, but although it looked very alluring, she couldn't wipe it off.
"A tattoo isn't a painting, how could it possibly come off!"
Lin Yuesha was still a little sad, but she was amused by her second cousin Chen Xiaohua's silly behavior. Look at how naive she is.
"Little sister, doesn't it hurt?"
After a long while, Chen Xiaohua finally came out of her shock and asked sadly.
I never imagined that my usually cheerful little sister had gone through so much. And she's even younger than me, bearing it all alone and hiding it from our parents.
Chen Xiaohua realized that she was never satisfied. In any case, her family knew and would be her strong support. What did she have to be afraid of?
"It hurts, but I have to endure it; my life is more important."
Lin Yuesha was concise and to the point; as a modern person, she didn't care about such things.
Having escaped death, she would only cherish life more, and what happened to her second cousin was nothing more than a minor matter.
Wang Pozi's schemes are cunning, but her own schemes can be just as cunning. Their clever plans will not succeed!
We need to show those who are waiting to see us fail how foolish they are, and who they'll end up laughing at!
"Little sister, I was wrong. Let's go back quickly."
Chen Xiaohua couldn't sit still any longer. She had to tell her father that she was alright and that as long as her family was there to support her, she wasn't afraid of anything.
As for marriage in the future, I'll leave it to fate.
Let's go.
Lin Yuesha extinguished the stove and then returned to the courtyard with Chen Xiaohua.
When she returned, Chen Xiaohua was a completely different person. She found her father, Chen Tieniu, and handed him the medicine packet, saying, "Father, this is the herbal medicine I bought for Mother on the way back. Please brew it for her when you get back so she won't worry about me."
"Girl, what's wrong with you...?"
Chen Tieniu rubbed his eyes. Had he seen wrong? Xiaohua's eyes were still red, but a resolute look appeared on them.
"Father, I've come to terms with it, all thanks to my little sister."
Chen Xiaohua said that she would stay in town for a while and would do more work to try not to cause trouble for her aunt.
Chen Tieniu was skeptical, but he had things to do at home and couldn't stay any longer, so he had to leave with many backward glances.
“Xiaohua, this is not your fault. You are a good child. When your aunt moves to the prefectural city, you can go with her. No one in the prefectural city knows what happened.”
Madam Chen patted Chen Xiaohua's head. This niece was not much different in age from her daughter Lin Yuesha. She had watched her grow up since she was a child, so she was no different from her own daughter.
She had just discussed it with Xiao Chenggui, who is an open-minded person and strongly agrees with her decision.
Chen Xiaohua's visit to the house is just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks. Besides, with two little girls at home, they might even come up with some new dishes, and he'll benefit from it.
With Chen Xiaohua there, there was one more person in the house, and Lin Yuesha started thinking about what to eat that evening.
It would be best to make some nourishing stew, which would also help your brother's wound recover.
Lin Yuesha took Chen Xiaohua out and searched for ducks in the surrounding villagers' homes. With great difficulty, she finally found a three-year-old duck.
It is said that this old duck was a survivor of a robbery by barbarians.
When the barbarians came to rob them, the duck cleverly hid under a pile of firewood and successfully escaped.
However, the old duck could evade the barbarians but not Lin Yuesha, and would eventually face the fate of being slaughtered.
"Little sister, how about we switch to another one?"
The owner spoke with such sincerity that Chen Xiaohua almost couldn't bear to eat the old duck. Seeing the old duck trembling, she felt very sorry for it.
"No change."
Lin Yuesha refused; in her eyes, these small animals were all food.
It's so hard to find a duck around in the dead of winter, especially one that's still alive. Once you get home, you can slaughter it and make soup. Keep the duck blood and use the old duck broth to make duck blood vermicelli soup.
The owner was really trying to fool people, all he wanted was an extra twenty copper coins.
Chen Xiaohua nodded blankly, realizing that her younger sister was much smarter, while her own brain was easily tricked.
After the two bought the ingredients, Lin Yuesha slaughtered a duck in the yard, swiftly and skillfully slitting its throat with a swift and decisive motion.
"Little girl, shall we stew duck for dinner?"
Mrs. Chen boiled water and scalded the duck feathers, doing so very carefully.
"Yes, we need to eat something lighter. Dad's throat isn't good either, and I'm worried he'll cough at night."
This morning, Xiao Chenggui and Xiao Qi ate more than half of the big plate of pan-fried buns, and then shared the noodles she had torn for Chen Xiaohua.
Especially the eldest brother, whose wound is deep and needs proper care.
After simmering the old duck soup for an hour, the courtyard was already filled with its aroma.
Lin Yuesha went into the kitchen and picked up a piece of duck meat with her chopsticks. It was a bit tough and needed to be cooked for another hour.
“We’ve stewed this at home before, but it never tasted this good.”
Ms. Chen sniffed and suddenly realized she was hungry.
"How about we make some duck blood and vermicelli soup first?"
Duck blood vermicelli soup is a local snack. If the Chen family goes into business in the future, they can offer it together with hot and sour noodles for customers to choose from.
Lin Yuesha pulled Chen Xiaohua aside and asked her to help out.
"Little sister, why did you put so much ginger in?"
Seeing the ingredients being thrown into the pot, Chen Xiaohua hurriedly asked.
"Duck is very cold in nature and has a strong fishy smell. Adding more ginger slices can dispel the cold and remove the fishy smell, killing two birds with one stone."
Lin Yuesha explained that she worked quickly, scooping out the soup, cutting the duck blood into strips, and cutting the fried dough into triangles, then putting them back into the soup to cook.
Wait a moment, then put the glass noodles into the broth in the broth for a minute or two, and then pour them into a bowl.
The glass noodles must be cooked separately from the duck blood to maintain the best texture; they must not be overcooked.
"Sister Xiaohua, I'll do it first this time. Once you've learned how, you can make it for Uncle and the others. Practice makes perfect."
While operating the machine, Lin Yuesha explained a few key points.
"Little sister, how come I never noticed before? Watching you cook and eat is truly a treat."
Chen Xiaohua silently kept it in mind. Although she hadn't tasted it yet, she was convinced that everything her little sister made was delicious. Lin Yuesha's every move was filled with confidence.
Once the duck blood and vermicelli soup was ready, Chen Xiaohua brought it inside.
The family was already prepared, and Xiao Chenggui was the first to pick up his chopsticks, giving a thumbs-up as he ate.
Duck blood and vermicelli soup looks simple, but it's surprisingly delicious. You'll be sweating buckets while eating it in the winter, and you'll finish every last drop of the soup.
The whole family finished a big pot of duck blood and vermicelli soup, and the atmosphere was not as quiet as before.
Food can regulate a person's mood. Lin Yuesha realized that she still had some effect, and could shine and contribute at home at any time.
