Chapter 16 Fu Junmo Arrives



Qian Nai rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why do you need socks? You have to wash them after you wear them!"

As he said this, he gathered things together, took the pig's head and internal organs to the kitchen to soak, and took all the pork and rice into the house to hide them. While cleaning up, he saw a bag of medicinal herbs and curiously called Qian Duoduo into the house.

"Duoduo, is this medicine? What are you buying this for? Who's sick?"

Qian Duoduo: "I forgot to tell you, these are medicinal herbs and seasonings. Look at this, it's cinnamon, this is bay leaf, this is nutmeg, and this is angelica. These can remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. The braised meat is delicious. Moreover, after braising the meat, you can put the soup aside. As long as it doesn't go bad, you can use it many times. You can also make a big stew, and it will become more fragrant the longer it is stewed.

Let's braise the pig's head and offal. When people arrive, we can have the pig's head served cold or stir-fried, and the offal can be stir-fried with green onions and leeks."

It seems that it won’t work. There is no refrigerator here, and summer is coming soon. It cannot be refrigerated or frozen, so it won’t last too long.

After her parents divorced in her previous life, she was awarded to the woman. Her mother remarried within three months of the divorce. She has been living with her grandparents. Her grandparents may feel that her father treated her mother harshly, so they are not cold to her, but they don’t have much affection for her. She has enough food and drink, but most of the housework at home falls on her. She is not asked to cook, but she is asked to help. So, although she has never cooked, she has learned it almost by watching over the past ten years, especially braised pork, her grandma’s specialty.

Just lack of practice.

It was the first time that a high-ranking official came to the house, and Grandma Qian took it very seriously, so she didn't scold Qian Duoduo for spending money recklessly.

She put the things in the cabinet, took Qian Duoduo's hand and said softly, "Duoduo, were you scared just now?"

Qian Duoduo pursed his lips and smiled, "A little bit."

Suddenly, a man ran towards her with his hair standing on end, shouting her name. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid, especially with that fatal task from the system hanging in the balance.

Grandma Qian patted her hands and said, "This is why I want you to marry the headmaster. That Wang Erlei is a lunatic. He's capable of anything. That's why you're beautiful, and the young men in the village secretly like you, but they don't dare to tell anyone. Even the matchmakers don't dare to match you up, because they're afraid of revenge from that crazy Wang."

"If you marry a commander, that crazy Wang, no matter how capable he is, wouldn't dare to snatch the commander's wife, right? Even if he dares to go crazy, the commander can still deal with him."

Qian Duoduo nodded with lingering fear, his heart still pounding with fear.

"Grandma, tell my dad and uncles to be alert at night, and tell my mom to go out and look for the children. Don't go out to play. What if that madman attacks the children?"

Qian Nai nodded. Although Wang Erlei never harmed innocent people when he took revenge, who could know what a madman was thinking!

On this day,

From three in the afternoon to midnight, the street where Qian Duoduo's family lived was filled with a strong fragrance, which made the children from the two next doors cry with envy. They leaned on the wall to ask what delicious food they were cooking, and also secretly wondered if Qian Duoduo was going to get married.

Otherwise, Wang Erlei would not be so crazy.

Grandma Qian avoided the main point and praised the secret recipe of braised meat that her granddaughter Qian Duoduo got from others. She also promised several close neighbors that she would send a bowl of braised meat soup to each of them tomorrow, and asked them to add some water and braise potatoes or sweet potatoes. As for Qian Duoduo's marriage, she did not mention it at all.

If the teacher was really that bad, Grandma Qian would not have pushed her granddaughter away.

The night passed peacefully, and Qian Duoduo's task completion rate reached 25%.

She guessed that if she hadn't run away at that time, she might have been in danger.

The next day.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Grandma Qian took Qian Youjin to the brigade's mill to grind black beans and make her own brine for tofu.

Morning,

Qian Duoduo, the men and boys in the family all drank the soy milk, as did the girls under three years old. The other girls, daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law could only watch and swallow their saliva. Qian Duoduo ignored them and just gave half of the soy milk to her mother Liu Qiaomei.

There are so many children, how can there be so much fairness? Qian Nai is partial to her, and she gives things to other children. Isn't that ungrateful? Qian Nai will never give her anything in the future!

Moreover, Qian Duoduo discovered that Qian Nai was not really a person who favored boys over girls. In one word, she was poor!

Today, Grandma Qian, Grandpa Qian, Qian Youjin, Liu Qiaomei and her fourth brother Qian Jianye did not go to work. They cleaned the house inside and out, waiting for Qian Jianjun and Fu Junmo.

It seemed that everyone was nervous except Qian Duoduo.

Sometimes he would check if his hair was messy, and sometimes he would check if his new clothes were dirty.

Qian Jianye was assigned to chop the meat, Liu Qiaomei kneaded the dough, and Grandma Qian asked Qian Duoduo to dress up beautifully, and then go... make dumplings!

Since it’s so hard to make dumplings at home, I have to teach Qian Duoduo how to do it.

There is hope even if you cram at the last minute!

"Yes, just like that. Pinch your mouth tightly. Use these two fingers on this hand, and these two fingers on that hand. Push hard—why are you doing this..." Qian Nai yelled angrily, then calmed down for a moment and continued patiently, "It's okay. It's always like this at the beginning."

Qian Jianye stood by and rolled out the dough while sneering, "Grandma, you regret it now, don't you? I told you before that I should let Duoduo learn how to cook, but you only felt sorry for her because she had to study hard. Look at my sister——"

"Shut up now! You're good at rolling dough. If you can't teach your little sister today, don't eat."

Qian Jianye quickly shut up, still with a playful smile on his face, you are just venting your anger on me!

He's pushing the issue too far. His little sister must have this talent too.
