Chapter 682 (2/2)
On the other side, Jiang Yue said with a smile, ”cousin cicada, my parents are very kind to you. I'm almost jealous.”
After listening to this, Xia Xiaochan felt more and more uneasy. After all, there is no unprovoked love in the world. If others treat you well, who knows if they are greedy for anything?
Xia Xiaochan is a sensitive person by nature. Somehow, she always feels that the three uncles and aunts seem to be a little artificial and untrue.
When Xia Xiaochan was in a daze, Jiang Yue on one side took her to continue eating small yellow croaker. This small fish is too tempting. White flour and eggs are rare good things, not to mention the big pot of oil fried fish, which is a test of people's willpower for a person who has not been oily for a long time.
Xia Xiaochan wanted to be a full ghost when she was single. Immediately, she opened her stomach and ate.
When she was full, Xia Xiaochan wanted to do housework. Her aunt stopped her and let the two children play by themselves.
Jiang Yue took Xia Xiaochan to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms nearby.
Xia Xiaochan also likes to do this job. He and Jiang Yue look for the traces of clumps of wild vegetables in the slightly humid air. When it gets dark, they collect a basket of sheep head mushrooms, a handful of wild onions, a lot of Houttuynia cordata, dandelion and so on.
Xia Xiaochan's mind almost immediately emerged the practice of these foods!
Sheep head mushroom is a rare delicacy whether it is fried with pickled pepper or made into soup. Houttuynia cordata is cold mixed or fried meat. Tut Tut, the taste is particularly good. As for wild vegetables such as dandelion, it floats after water. If you mix it with chili oil, tut Tut, the taste is unspeakable.
Unfortunately, no matter what dishes you cook, you need a lot of oil. I don't know if your third aunt is willing to do it?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaochan asked Jiang Yue, ”how do these wild vegetables go home?”
”Boiled, of course.”
Xia Xiaochan was disappointed when she heard this, but at least she was in someone else's house. She was just a guest, so she didn't say much, but silently followed Jiang Yue home.
Seeing the wild vegetables brought back by the two sisters, the third aunt paused and said with a smile, ”today's harvest is good. You two sisters go upstairs to do sewing and play. Let me prepare the meal.”
”Third aunt, I'll help you with your work?”
”Ah? No, no, go and have a rest. Don't make trouble for me, you children.”
With that, the third aunt went down with the basket.
Jiang Yue was very happy to be lazy, so she took Xia Xiaochan to her room. The two sisters played with a pile of rags.
”Although these cloth heads are leftover materials, many of them are leftover materials on silk and satin. Where did they come from?”
Jiang Yue shook her head. ”My mother said she went to sell things in the town. Because she gave others some rural specialties, they gave her.”
After hearing this, Xia Xiaochan didn't ask much. She just took a piece of floral cloth and rolled it. Soon, a lifelike silk flower took shape. She picked up the stitches and sewed it. However, for a moment, she made a very beautiful silk flower.
Jiang Yue opened her eyes. ”Sister cicada, you are so powerful. This silk flower is really beautiful.”
Xia Xiaochan smiled and then made several different silk flowers in succession.
Thinking that she had received the favor of her third uncle's family, she moved in her heart and said, ”cousin Jiang Yue, if we sell such silk flowers, can we sell them for some money?”
Jiang Yue stared for a moment and said, ”yes, yes, of course. Oh, little cicada sister, why didn't I think of this method? Such silk flowers don't exist in the town at all. I like them as soon as I see them. I'm sure they can sell at a good price.”
After hearing this, Xia Xiaochan breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”sister Jiang Yue, I'll finish all these silk flowers for you. You and your third aunt will go to the town to sell them at that time. Maybe you can change some money.”
”Good.”
The sisters were busy in the room. Outside, the voice of the third aunt came, ”little cicada, come, come, come to dinner.”
Xia Xiaochan put down her needle and thread and Jiang Yue and went out. When she came to the table, Xia Xiaochan immediately widened her eyes.
Everything as like as two peas and a table of dishes, each of which is all the same, and all the dishes are exactly the same as the dishes that Xia Xiaochan has seen in his mind.
In fact, cooking is delicious. The most important thing is that she is willing to give up oil, willing to work hard and don't dislike trouble. The dishes on the third aunt's table, whether fried sheep's head mushroom with pickled pepper or cold wild vegetables with chili oil, are quite delicious.
Jiang Yue picked up her chopsticks and took a few mouthfuls of food. She said vaguely, ”Mom, mom, why didn't you cook like this before?”
”Isn't this delicious?”
”Mom, such dishes are delicious. They are so delicious.”
