Chapter 69 Spicy Crayfish
After seeing Wu Guilan off, I didn't expect Aunt Lu to still be squatting at the door of her house opposite.
"Xiao Liu, I heard that you caught some cicadas. My little grandson is so greedy for them that he's rolling around on the floor. Would you mind getting me two?" Aunt Lu was holding a small aluminum basin in her hand, looking a bit like a beggar.
If you are a good neighbor, you can just give me a bowl of food.
An old lady like Aunt Lu, who scans everywhere with her eyes like laser cannons every day and even reports her to the neighborhood committee for wrongdoing, will not get away with it.
Liu Qingqing pretended to be hesitant. "Well, it's not impossible. But Aunt Lu, you don't know that I like spicy food. I put a lot of chili peppers in my cooking. Your grandson is only three years old, right? Such spicy food will easily cause stomach problems."
Aunt Lu walked towards Liu Qingqing tremblingly. After hearing what she said, she paused for a second with the small basin in her hand, then smiled again: "How spicy can it be? Don't worry, my grandson can handle spicy food."
Liu Qingqing laughed: "Then Aunt Lu, please wait a moment, I will get it for you."
Aunt Lu followed behind and wanted to catch up, but she had just squatted for a long time, and when she wanted to walk faster, her legs felt numb.
I reluctantly followed her into the house. Liu Qingqing had already walked quickly into the kitchen and quickly put most of the cicadas in the pot into the space. There were only a dozen cicadas left at the bottom of the pot. She also grabbed a handful of devilish spicy peppers and threw them into the pot.
To make this stuff, she always selects the spiciest pepper varieties from the same batch, and then screens the second batch again, planting them repeatedly to come up with the right varieties, all for the purpose of making super powerful pepper water, which has a very good effect.
While the food was being stir-fried, Aunt Lu finally came into the house.
Seeing that there were only a dozen or so in Liu Qingqing's pot, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
Liu Qingqing put two in the small aluminum basin she gave her, and scooped out a large spoonful of red oil soup and poured it into the soup to soak, fearing that it would lose its flavor if it was soaked for too short a time.
Aunt Lu took the basin, her eyes still fixed on the pot: "Xiao Liu, you are too stingy. Only two?"
Liu Qingqing smiled sweetly: "Auntie Lu, you said you want two?"
Aunt Lu laughed and said, "Xiao Liu is really honest. Then give us two more. I have two grandsons, so two is just right for each of us."
Liu Qingqing nodded and quickly scooped two more for her.
When she was leaving, Liu Qingqing sent her to the gate, and there were a few neighbors around watching the fun.
"Aunt Lu, please try it first. My cooking is really spicy. If it's really not spicy enough, you should wash it with water before eating. Children are too young to eat it easily." Liu Qingqing looked worried.
Aunt Lu glanced at her sideways and said perfunctorily with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. My grandson can handle spicy food, and he loves the chili peppers I make the most."
After everyone entered the house, Liu Qingqing stood at the door with a frown, looking at the Lu family's gate.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhao quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Qingqing seemed to have found a savior: "Auntie, why don't you help me take a look? I put too much chili in the dish, and you saw the red color of the bowl. I just reminded Auntie Lu many times to let her taste it before giving it to the child, but Auntie Lu didn't seem to take it to heart."
Aunt Zhao stood up immediately when she heard this: "That's right, I could smell the pungent smell of spit from your side just now. Old Mrs. Lu is taking advantage of me."
Liu Qingqing seemed to be talking to herself: "I can't even handle such spicy food myself, so I only made a few."
Mrs. Zhou, who was nearby, had taken her daughter into the house to report the news. She also came out and happened to hear these words: "It's okay, sister, I'll talk to her later."
Liu Qingqing nodded: "Thank you for troubling my sister-in-law."
"Hey, what's the trouble?"
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she also followed him to Old Lu's house, followed by a few onlookers.
Liu Qingqing followed behind the crowd.
It was normal for Old Lady Lu to ask for food in the alley. She would usually be busy at the gate, sniffing the smell of other people's cooking.
Her family was also happy to see her bringing in good food from other people's homes.
She put the small aluminum basin on the table without saying anything.
The two grandsons each stretched out a hand and tried to grab it.
Then came two shouts of "Wow" and "Wow".
The cries came one after another.
The adults in the Lu family were shocked to see that the two children had red lips and tears in their eyes.
The eldest daughter-in-law took one and put it in her mouth and exclaimed, "Mom, where did you get this? It's so spicy that it hurts my mouth."
"I'm going to tear the mouth of this rag-too-little Liu." Aunt Lu slammed the table and stood up.
Mrs. Zhou, who had just walked in, heard it all, and Mrs. Zhao, who followed closely behind, was also very angry.
This old scoundrel also insisted on taking food from his own home.
"Old Mrs. Lu, do you have any shame? You were the one who forced the dish on me. Xiao Liu made a few, but you insisted. I told you eight or ten times outside that it was spicy, and what did you say? You said it was okay, your family can handle spicy food, but I said nothing."
Mrs. Zhou also frowned: "Aunt Lu, what you said is too much. Xiao Liu is a military dependent, and her husband holds a high position, one level higher than our old Zhou did back then. You found out that he is guilty of insulting a military dependent for no reason."
There are few families around here who have not suffered losses from the Lu family, and they are constantly denouncing them.
Liu Qingqing pushed her way through the crowd and said, "Auntie Lu, you see, I've told you many times that when I cook spicy food, you should taste it yourself and wash it thoroughly with water before giving it to your child. You can't let a child eat such spicy food directly. We once encountered a child in the supply and marketing department who ate something too spicy and irritating and had a perforated stomach. Auntie Lu, aren't you harming the child by doing this?"
Liu Qingqing chatted with him for a while, pointed out the key point, and got herself out of the situation. She also mentioned the supply and marketing department, and Mrs. Zhou added to her identity.
Both daughters-in-law of the Lu family glared at their mother-in-law.
Everyone talked for a while, and Aunt Lu also bowed her head and said that she had forgotten for a moment.
Liu Qingqing followed her aunt and sister-in-law and slowly left the Lu family's house. She thanked the neighbors who had spoken up for her and then turned around and went back into the house.
I took one out of the pot and tried it with the tip of my tongue.
"Hiss" Oh, the spicy food makes my mouth hurt.
Madam, take out the remaining rice. Keep this thing as a gift. It may come in handy in the future.
She also scooped out all the rice from the other large pot, leaving a small bowl for herself, and sent the rest into the space.
Paired with normal spicy crayfish, it tastes really good.
Although it was normally spicy, her lips were slightly swollen.
