Old Yu took another chopstick of fried eggplant with garlic, his teeth began to fall out, this kind of soft and rotten eggplant was just right for his appetite. Before he knew it, half of the eggplants had been wiped out by him alone.
After being mentioned by Yu Hai, the old Yu who ate very well, of course, did not hesitate to praise: "Mmm, mm! The taste is really good! Our family Xiaocao is promising, and the dishes are more authentic than her mother. Xiaocao Mother taught you well, what is there a saying called—green out of blue is better than blue. Third child, is that what you say?"
Old Yu pulled out an idiom, thinking he was very good, stroked his beard and took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth. Our old Yu's family is also very cultured!
"Father, you are right. The dishes made by Xiaocao are actually fried with oil. Our family usually boils vegetables with only salt and no oil or water. Of course, they are not as delicious as stir-fried vegetables! In the future , Let’s all cook like this!”
After finally having a satisfying meal at home, the youngest Yu Bo was in a good mood and filled another cup for his father.
Old Yu shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "Your mother's temperament, you still don't understand. If you buy pork for refining every day, it will be more distressing than cutting her meat!"
Yu Hai continued: "You don't need lard, vegetable oil is also fine. Don't we have beans left over from last year? Go to the oil shop to change some soybean oil and come back to cook vegetables, the taste will not be bad."
Exchange beans to prevent my wife from pulling out money? Old Yu thought seriously about the possibility.
Seeing that the family was eating oily vegetables, Yu Bo thought twice, couldn't help but choked up and put down his chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "Father, if you let others know, for my study, the family is reluctant to change even a can of soybean oil. Can you still go up and down? Don’t get poked in the back? Father, please advise mother, don’t let her be so picky. Some people in the school are talking about their son behind their backs... "
Scholars value their reputation most. Yu Bo has already heard bad rumors about him, such as "I live in a big house in the town, eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but my mother and brother-in-law even plan to eat quick coarse grain pancakes..." and so on.
His father-in-law also had a deep talk with him. When he came back this time, his main purpose was to persuade his mother not to smear him behind his back and embarrass him. But Zhang's temper, as a son, is very clear, so he can only make a detour to let his reasonable father explain it for him.
On weekdays, the old lady can't wait to break two petals for a copper coin. She is frugal and frugal with herself and her family, and she is harsh on women and children's food again and again. Look at the children of the second family, all of them are so thin that only a handful of bones are left, and they are shaking when they walk... In order for the youngest son to be able to read, the old Yu can only turn a blind eye.
But because of this, it will affect his son's reputation, that's not going to happen! The youngest son is destined to be an official, so he must not be tossed away because of his wife's search. Old Yu made up his mind to have a good talk with the old lady.
At night, the old couple said this under the lamp. For the sake of his son, Mrs. Zhang naturally has no second choice. The next day, I personally carried half a bag of beans and replaced it with a jar full of soybean oil. I don't dare to limit the black-faced coarse-grain pancakes at home.
Once they are eaten open like this, the food at home will naturally fall faster. Zhang's heart was trembling with pain, and she cursed inwardly: "What kind of scumbag, who keeps talking nonsense all day long, why don't you let the mouse get his tongue out!!"
In this way, Yu Xiaocao and the others will benefit the most. The whole family can at least fill their stomachs, and Yu Xiaocao intercepts some of the prey in the hands of the old man every now and then, and the adults and children of the second room can see flesh growing on their faces.
Yes! Under Yu Xiaocao's coquettish and cute rolling, Yu Hai, who dotes on his daughter, surrendered within a few strokes. Every time she came back from hunting, Xiaocao would stop her father in a deserted place at the foot of the mountain, pick the fattest prey to stay, and go to the hidden valley to barbecue or stew soup in a crockpot to make The whole family eats together.
Sometimes Zhao Han got prey in the trap, and would contribute it to give a few extra meals to the little ones. The little white fish in the stream were also troubled by them.
Wild fish that are slippery to others are easily caught by Yu Xiaocao. Although Zhao Han felt strange in his heart, he didn't try to inquire.
Half a child, I will be overwhelmed. In a fishing village that depends on the sea, boys and girls in their teens have no other major uses except to drive to the sea and serve the vegetable gardens in front of and behind the houses.
For the reputation and future of the younger son, Zhang's heart dripped with blood, and increased the food ration for the women and children in the family. In the past two months, the family expenses have more than doubled than usual.
After that, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have entered menopause, displeased everyone. After the men went to sea, she either scolded the adults or beat the younger ones at home, and she never had idle time.
During the meal, Mrs. Zhang reluctantly kept her mouth open because of the men's face. But her eyes are like knives, and whoever takes an extra piece of cake will be stared out of the sieve by her. Of course, she hoped that her daughter-in-law and the bastards in the family would be able to eat less on their own initiative.
It's a pity that the eldest daughter-in-law has always been eyeless, and there is nothing else in the eyes of the dinner table except food. The eldest grandson even got his mother's true biography, and he eats like a wolf and a tiger, very ferocious.
Although the second daughter-in-law was still so weak and bully, the two girls did not follow their mother at all. Let her stare so hard that her face almost fell to the ground. The two maids acted as if they had nothing to do, they either brought a piece of pancake for their mother, or a piece of food with chopsticks for their brother.
With oily dishes, whether it is stewed or fried, the taste will be much better. Every time I eat, the elders take the lead, and eating vegetables is like grabbing food. If you slow down, there will be no soup left.
The two maids played with their chopsticks as if they were flying, only afterimages were seen. After the afterimages, their mother who dared not pick up vegetables, the brother who warmed the noodles, and the younger brother all had a lot of food in the rice bowl in front of them. And they themselves did not eat less. Seeing Zhang's heart throbbing with pain.
In the past, it was easy to deal with only one little Lian, and if she was disobedient, she would be honest. Now that there is another Yu Xiaocao, she can't be serious, let alone hit her, even if she yells at her, she can be "scared" to the point of fainting.
Let’s take the time when the third child’s family didn’t leave. When the steamed buns with Sanhe noodles came up, the dead girl stuffed one with each hand, and her brother and younger brother were not left behind, so they all shared one, as if she belonged to this family. like a lord.
She was so angry that she couldn't hold back her temper, and threw the table and bench to get angry on the spot. In the end, before she could say anything ugly, the dead girl rolled her eyes and looked up.
