Xie Sufen had never been able to scold Liu E before, and she still couldn't scold her now. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and she was unwilling to argue with Liu E about who was better in cheating. In Liu E's eyes, Xie Sufen just left in disgrace.
Ji Xia saw her mother coming back with an angry face and asked what happened?
Xie Sufen didn't want to say these words to her daughter, so she just said casually, "I met Liu E. I can't explain it to her. It's nothing."
Carpenter Yang was building the stove. Chen Zhigang and three others couldn't wait to move in today. They were cleaning the house and moving things in. The house was bustling with people coming and going.
Seeing that she was popular, some people came to talk to Xie Sufen, some asked her for things, and she was also planning to pack her luggage, which made her feel better.
Ji Xia planned to cook and invite Liang Yunyue and the others to have dinner at home. Now everyone had a fixed ration, and generally no one would go to someone else's house for dinner unless they were particularly close. The four of them politely declined. Their food for the day had already been delivered to the educated youth point, and they would not return it even if they didn't eat it. The four of them certainly didn't want to give it to others at a lower price, so they said they would eat it another day.
Ji Xia wanted to keep Carpenter Yang for dinner, so he went to tell Ji Rongbin and his sister to come over for dinner and brought them a thermos of water.
The brother and sister didn't want it, so Ji Xia said it was from her room. She bought a new one and didn't want the old one anymore, so she gave it to them.
"Sister, I'll help you cook!" Ji Ronghua held Ji Xia's hand, and Ji Rongbin walked behind them. His little face was tense and expressionless, but his ears were erected, listening to the words of the person in front very seriously.
"Okay, I was just worried that no one would help me." Ji Xia pinched Ronghua's nose with a smile. The little girl looked pretty when she smiled.
Liu E returned to the cowshed, saw the three people, and spat at them.
Ji Xia's eyes were sharp, and Liu E felt cold all over, as if a north wind blew into her clothes, chilling her whole body.
The coat she was wearing was the one that that dead guy had secretly bought for her. She had just put it on today and it was very warm. The wind was a bit weird, so she wrapped herself tightly in the clothes and walked faster.
Ji Ronghua waited until she was far away, then whispered to Ji Xia, "Sister, let me tell you, Aunt Liu E bullied me today."
"Oh, how did she bully my mother?" Ji Xia's eyes flashed. Her mother refused to tell her, so she must have said something very unpleasant.
"She said that my aunt couldn't give birth to a son, but I think my sister is a good person." The little girl was too young to know what to say and what not to say, so she just repeated Liu E's words in one go.
Ji Xia couldn't help but laugh, and she felt that everything made sense. She rubbed the little girl's head and said, "She is shameless. Don't listen to such words in the future. When others say such things, stay away from them."
Ronghua hurriedly said, "Sister, I understand!"
Ji Xia cooked dinner, Ji Rongbin helped Carpenter Yang, and Ji Ronghua helped Ji Xia light the fire. She pretended to take ingredients from the cupboard, but actually took out a clean fat goose from the space and stewed it.
She also put pancakes around the pot. She used baking powder, which made the dough rise quickly and become very fluffy. The pancakes absorbed the oil and gas of the soup, and the flavor seeped into them. You would want to eat them at the first sight, and your mouth would water.
When it was getting dark, Qin Xiao arrived and parked his car at the door. He got out of the car. Xie Sufen saw him and hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Qin is here!"
"Mom, Xia Xia is here?" Qin Xiao came to look for his wife.
Ji Xia heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Qin Xiao, a smile appeared on her face. "You're back?"
No matter how tired Qin Xiao was, when he came back and saw his wife and heard such a greeting, all the fatigue on his body disappeared, "Wife!"
"Wash your hands first, it's time for dinner!" Ji Xia shouted to Carpenter Yang, "Uncle Carpenter, stop working, it's time for dinner, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Ji Xia scooped hot water into a basin, and the two children Rongbin and Ronghua brought it to Carpenter Yang and Qin Xiao respectively. Rongbin looked at Qin Xiao with both admiration and a little fear.
Qin Xiao took the basin, rubbed his head and smiled. Rong Bin suddenly felt that his head was glowing, the corners of his lips curled up and couldn't be suppressed, and his eyes were full of light.
Ji Xia found it funny. All children admire heroes. In Rong Bin's eyes, Qin Xiao in a military uniform was his hero.
Today's main dish is braised goose in an iron pot. It is definitely not enough for four adults and two children. Ji Xia was well prepared and smuggled out two more dishes, one is braised pork and the other is braised rabbit meat, both of which were from the space.
Because the dishes in big hotels are designed to look good and taste good, and the portions are small, she took out two portions of each, a big bowl, and ate her fill.
Xie Sufen thought that Ji Xia had just cooked it. Ronghua saw Ji Xia brought it out from the cupboard and thought that it had been cooked before and was brought out to heat up, because she saw Ji Xia put it in the steamer in the back pot.
In fact, it was hot, and Ji Xia was just using a trick.
After the goose was taken out of the pot, Ji Xia fried some cabbage with lard. Cabbage is delicious in winter and becomes very sweet after frost. Ji Xia especially likes it.
"Xia Xia, there are so many dishes, what else do you want to fry?" Carpenter Yang saw the table full of dishes, basically all of them were meat.
The goose braised in an iron pot is not too fragrant, the meat is tender and crispy, the soup is rich, and it is tasty at first glance; the braised pork is bright red in color, with alternating fat and lean parts, fat but not greasy; the braised rabbit meat is added with pine mushrooms, the color is sauce-red, the taste is fragrant and the meat is tender, fresh and rich.
Several people sat around, their mouths watering at the aroma.
Ji Xia was worried that there weren't enough pancakes, so she took out a few steamed buns made with old dough. There was plenty of staple food. Xie Sufen picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into Qin Xiao's bowl, and everyone started eating.
Rong Bin and his sister had never eaten such a sumptuous meal in their lives. They were drooling with greed, but they were quite shy. Ji Xia picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks for each of them and said, "Eat! Uncle Carpenter, you eat too!"
"Eat, eat, eat everyone, you too!"
Once the meal started, no one pretended to be polite anymore, especially the two children, who couldn't help but eat happily.
Ronghua said as he ate, "Sister's cooking is so delicious!"
Rong Bin showed a mischievous look, gnawing on a large goose leg, his mouth full of greasy food, and nodding his head continuously, "Hmm, hmm, hmm!"
Ji Xia gave the two big goose legs to the two children.
After the meal, all the food on the table was cleared away. Rongbin and Ronghua rubbed their stomachs with satisfaction. Seeing Xie Sufen clearing the dishes, they hurriedly stood up to help, "Auntie, I can do it, I'll do it!"
"Auntie, I can do it too, let me do it!"
Xie Sufen felt sorry for the two children. "Let go. Auntie is here. It's getting late. You've been tired all day. Go to bed early."
Qin Xiao helped to boil water and brought a bucket of water over. He first helped his wife to wash herself, then changed the bucket of water and washed himself thoroughly.
He had originally had very good living habits. After getting married, Ji Xia made a request that he must wash himself cleanly every day, otherwise he would not be allowed to go to bed. For his own welfare, he became more and more meticulous in his work.
