In the kitchen, Xu's eldest daughter-in-law Zhou and Xu's second daughter-in-law Li were busy cooking fish.
Just like Mr. Xu said just now, after this big grass carp is cut into pieces, it really contains more than half the pot of meat.
To make fish stew delicious, various seasonings are indispensable. In addition, after the fish pieces are put into the pot, it is best to fry them in oil. And if you want to fry all the fish pieces in the pot of half a pot, there is no room for it.
"Sister-in-law, how about we share the pot?"
Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Zhou, "Fry the fish in one pot, and stew the fish in the other pot!"
"That's a good idea!"
Zhou nodded when he heard this, "We can also make two flavors!"
There are also different ways to stew fish.
"In one pot, we stew it plainly. My mother and children can't eat spicy food. In the other pot, we put some spicy stew. It's delicious and can be eaten!"
"That's it!"
Zhou is currently the housekeeper. She made the decision and the matter was settled.
In the past, it was Mrs. Xu who made the decision on such matters. But now, with the authorization from Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, Zhou feels that she must be able to shoulder the responsibility.
…
In the yard, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were chopping firewood. They were idle anyway, so they might as well do something to make a living. It's almost winter now, and a family's heating expenses in winter are not a small sum.
"Boss, boss!"
Mr. Xu came out of the main room and looked at Mr. Xu who was sitting on a small bench chopping firewood. "Hurry up. Let us have two drinks at noon today and go bring out the green plum wine your mother brewed last year!"
"Dad, just drink green plum wine?"
When Xu Laoer heard what Mr. Xu said, his neck became stiff, "That stuff is not for us men to drink!"
"You don't have to drink!"
Mr. Xu glared at his second son angrily, this bastard with no eyesight.
"That won't work. If you all drink, I'll lose if I don't drink!"
Xu Laoer raised his eyebrows.
“…”
Mr. Xu really didn't know what to say. He could only repeat in his mind over and over again, whether he is angry or not, it is all his own fault. If it happens, just bear with it.
Boss Xu didn't say much. After receiving the old man's instructions, he quickly got up and went straight to the cellar.
"Brother, I'll go with you!"
"You chop wood!"
Boss Xu looked at his brother with disgust.
"Brother, do you want to secretly drink daddy's old wine again?"
When Xu Laoer heard that his eldest brother wouldn't let him follow, he immediately became anxious. "Brother, we are brothers. We used to drink together..."
“…!!!”
After hearing what his second son said, Mr. Xu stood there stunned, trembling with anger.
A few times ago, his wife discovered that there was less old wine in the cellar, and insisted that he drank it secretly. With all his conscience, he just took a few sips secretly.
At that time, Mr. Xu only said that the wine had flown away.
The reason why this old wine is strong in spring is because the water vapor in the wine has flown away, and it becomes more and more mellow.
Originally, Mr. Xu thought that although the quantity of old wine was less, the taste was more mellow, so it was not a loss.
But today, through his second son's casual words, Mr. Xu knew the truth.
"You two little bastards, you secretly drank my old wine, and when your mother wronged me, you were still there to fan the flames!"
"I am so angry!"
"Today, let's see how I deal with you!"
Mr. Xu's eyes were darting around, looking for someone who could take advantage of them and teach the two unfilial sons a lesson.
"Dad, it's unfair!"
Seeing that his father was about to take action, Mr. Xu quickly defended himself, "Just once, my son drank secretly!"
"Besides, the second child drank most of it!"
"You know, the second brother's drinking capacity is not enough for the two sons combined!"
"Brother...?!"
This was betrayed by his eldest brother, which made Xu Laoer a little unbelievable. Aren't they grasshoppers on a rope
However, Boss Xu didn't even bother to look at his brother.
If Mr. Xu hadn't kept his mouth shut and let this matter slip, how could they have been targeted by their father
Whoever caused the evil will bear the blame!
Anyway, he didn't deserve to be taken advantage of.
Mr. Xu decisively dumped the blame on Mr. Xu.
What can Xu Laoer do
Blame your own eldest brother? That also depends on whether his father believes what he says.
Obviously, Mr. Xu rarely believed what his second son said.
Although Xu Laoer is a fool, he just doesn't know how to be flexible when doing things. But if it's other things, such as eating and drinking, Xu Laoer's skills are definitely first-rate.
"You brat, come here and watch the beating!"
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you might forget that your father is still your father!"
"Dad, I will never forget you!"
How could Mr. Xu wait patiently for Mr. Xu to clean up? He jumped up and ran away.
But just when Xu Laoer rushed to the door of his courtyard, someone knocked on the door.
"Open the door, I'm back!"
Outside the courtyard gate, Xu Laosan's shouting sounded.
