Chapter 283 The Best Aunt in the Period Literature 4
The mother and daughter pushed the bird eggs back and forth, and finally divided them into three parts, two for each of the three of them, and Chen Ying kept Chen Yang's share.
"Eat it, and then help mom cook later. Let's have something delicious today!"
Su Li saw that the little girl obviously wanted to eat it, but put her portion away, and he knew that she was reluctant to do so.
"I'm not hungry yet, I'll save it for when I'm hungry. Hey, let's go cook, brother will be back soon!"
Chen Ying didn't believe what her mother said about the delicious food at all. She thought it was good enough to have wild vegetables to eat, and she didn't want to eat delicious food. Her mother just coaxed her.
"I'm not kidding you, there really is something delicious, and it's the meat you've been craving!"
Chen Ying looked at her mother in surprise. How did her mother know what she was thinking?
Su Li gave her a light slap on the head. This silly girl, everything she was thinking was shown on her face. No wonder she was bullied so badly.
"Really...really there's meat to eat? Mom, you're not trying to make me happy, are you?"
"I'm not kidding you. I was lucky today and found two rabbits in the mountains."
"Ah, so there really is rabbit meat for lunch?"
"Yes, I'll let you eat as much as you want at noon."
After receiving Su Li's affirmation, Chen Ying smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes curved, and her mouth almost stretched to the back of her head.
The last time she ate meat was during the Chinese New Year, but she only got two small pieces. The rest was given to those annoying people by her father.
It is obvious that her mother and brother are the most tired in the family, but her father insists on saying that those annoying kids have the hardest time studying.
I don’t even know who his biological child is?
When Chen Ying thought of this, he couldn't help but feel depressed!
"What are you thinking about? Come on, let's go cook. Your brother will be hungry when he gets home from work!"
"……good."
——
"Ahhh, Mom, it really is a rabbit!"
As soon as Chen Ying entered the kitchen, she saw two rabbits in the basket. Her depressed mood immediately disappeared and she became extremely excited!
At this moment, all she had in her heart and eyes was the rabbit meat in the basket. As long as she had meat to eat, her biased father had long been forgotten.
Chen Ying took the rabbit out of the basket with sparkling eyes. "Mom, this rabbit is so fat. It will be delicious when it's cooked. Slurp..."
As she was talking, she felt her saliva was about to flow out, so she quickly sucked it hard!
"Look at your useless look, my mouth is watering. I'll make this rabbit into spicy rabbit later, so that you, a greedy cat, can satisfy your craving!"
Su Li felt funny and sad. After all, he was still a child. He started drooling at the sight of raw meat. It must be because he hadn't eaten for a long time!
The last time the original owner ate meat was during the Chinese New Year.
That day, the original owner and Chen Ying got up early in the morning to make breakfast, clean the house, and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner... After being busy all day, in the end, the mother and daughter each only ate two pieces of meat the size of a thumb.
Chen Guang divided the remaining large bowl of meat among his four nephews and nieces, and then gave some to himself, the strong laborer. Finally, the remaining soup and three or four pieces of meat were given to his son Chen Yang.
At that time, the original owner was so angry that he quarreled with Chen Guang without caring about anything, and was laughed at by the neighbors.
This happened only to the original owner, who only knew how to yell at the top of her lungs. If it were a stronger woman, she would not only overturn your table, but also smash the pot for you, no matter whether it was New Year's Day or not.
Those who work can’t eat, and those who sit and wait to die don’t need to eat at all!
Seeing her mother staring at her, wondering what she was thinking, Chen Ying wiped the corner of her mouth and asked, "Hey, Mom, how do you make spicy rabbit? It sounds delicious. Slurp!"
Su Li came back to his senses. In this era, materials were scarce and people were not so particular about food, not to mention in the countryside, even in the city.
For people nowadays, being able to eat enough is the greatest happiness. If there is anything happier, it might be being able to eat fine grains every day!
Su Li rubbed Chen Ying's sparse hair and said, "It's really delicious. I'll make a pot for you later."
"Ah, mother won't do it? I've never done it before. What if it's wasted?"
When Chen Ying heard Su Li cooking for her, she knew that her mother wanted her to do it, and she immediately became nervous!
Su Li glanced at her sideways: "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have me, your mother? With me here, you can do whatever you want without worrying!"
Although she could only talk but not do, this child was as capable as the original owner and was cooking around the stove at the age of eight or nine.
It’s just cooking rabbit meat, and she believes that the little girl will have no problem.
Su Li had already prepared the rabbit before coming back. Now all he had to do was chop it up and cook it.
Chen Ying was indeed very efficient. While Su Li was washing the pot, before the fire was even lit, she had already chopped up both rabbits.
Originally, Chen Ying planned to cook only half of it, pickle the rest with salt and hang it from the well to eat slowly, but Su Li said that if he cooked all of it, it would be too hot to keep it.
One is for spicy rabbit and the other is for cold rabbit. If you can’t finish them, they won’t go bad and you can still eat them tomorrow.
Chen Ying thought that her mother would help her with it if she said she was there!
As a result, she really just helped her light the fire and described the process in a not very detailed manner.
If she hadn't been in the kitchen for many years and hadn't been a mature cook, the rabbit meat today might have been ruined.
Listen to what her mother said?
Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry, add a little sugar, a little soy sauce, some green onion, ginger, and chili peppers...
If she wasn't smart, she would have been confused by this little thing. How much is a little?
Chen Ying suspected that her mother had never made spicy rabbit meat, and she just heard that she didn't know how to make it, so she simply didn't think about how much her mother said.
No matter how little it is, as long as it is neither too salty nor too bland, it’s fine.
Doesn’t moderation mean adding more spicy food if you can eat it, and less spicy food if you can’t?
Her mother gave her a little bit of it, just the right amount. I don't know where she learned this word, but it sounds weird!
However, this is her biological mother, as long as she is happy, maybe those words were just what her mother heard from those annoying guys!
Su Li: Don’t think I didn’t see your indescribable expression.
Chen Ying indeed had some talent in cooking. In less than half an hour, the tempting aroma from the kitchen quickly spread far away.
Chen Xihe, who was crying breathlessly in the room, was trying to comfort Chen Lai, who had been coaxing him for a long time. He also smelled the fragrance.
Chen Xi paused in her tears, "Brother, what's that smell? It smells so good!"
Chen Lai was already hungry, and now he swallowed his saliva when he smelled the tempting aroma, frowning: "It seems like someone is cooking meat."
"Gurgle!"
"I'm craving some meat. Can you please ask my uncle to go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some? I haven't had some meat in a long time."
Chen Xi felt that his mouth was swollen, otherwise why did he start to lisp when speaking?
