After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 166 Chapter 157

After all the materials were ready, He Yu put a pot of cleaned crabs and lobsters beside the stove.

Xuemei also came over at this time, "Shall we start cooking the crabs now?"

"Girl, let's see how big brother He Yu is cooking!"

Cui Erwa really wanted to know how He Yu's cooking skills are. He Yu said that he had worked in the cooking class, and Xu Erzhu praised it, so he wanted to see it.

"There are so many lobsters, let's put the crabs in one pot!"

He Yu shook his head, but separated the crabs, fish heads, and shrimps.

"The first thing we're going to do is garlic crayfish!"

From nowhere, He Yu took out a whole bottle of oil and poured oil into the pot, everyone looked straight at him.

Who would dare to be so arrogant, put the oil like water, once put down, half a bottle of oil wasted.

"Xiaoyu, you didn't steal the oil from the village chief's house, did you? This oil is enough for us to eat for several months!"

To put it bluntly, this has been what Xu Erzhu's family has been eating for a year.

Xu Erzhu also said, "Is it too much oil for Xiaoyu? We don't need to eat so much oil, just put a little oil. Like our usual crayfish, crabs, etc., we boil them directly in water."

“The boiled crayfish and crab are still delicious!”

In fact, in the final analysis, I still mind using the oil from the village head’s house. After all, the oil and water are relatively expensive. After pouring down such a bottle, it has been used for half a year. If the village head finds out, they will have to shave their skins.

"Don't worry, this is the oil I brought with me, I don't use any from your village chief's house!"

When He Yu said this, Xu Erzhu and Cui Erwa breathed a sigh of relief. If the village head knew about it, and he stole the wine, the village head would not be able to drive the village head to run in the field.

"Xiaoyu, that's not what I meant. The main reason is that we've never eaten so much oil, and you've filled up half of the pot!"

"Besides, why are you carrying so much oil on your body when you are away from home?" Xu Erzhu looked at He Yu suspiciously.

"You think too much, when you go out, sometimes Xiaoling and I need to cook and make a fire, so, if we don't meet someone to stay, we will just camp in the open air, so we have to bring some oil!"

He Yu felt that his reason was far-fetched, but he didn't know whether Xu Erzhu and the others believed it.

"Xiao Yu, the oil is burning hot." Xu Erzhu reminded.

He Yu put the ginger, garlic, and millet pepper into the pot and sauteed until fragrant, then took out a bottle of white crystals.

Xu Erzhu could tell at a glance that it was sugar.

"Xiaoyu, where did you get sugar! This is a good thing!"

He Yu didn't say anything, just put more than half of the sugar in it, and Xu Erzhu was startled. So much sugar meant a lot of money was being consumed, and the meal He Yu made was worth their year's expenses.

"There are many, many." Xu Erzhu kept reminding He Yu.

"Not too much, not too much, it's not too much! In the past, Xiao Yu didn't know how much oil he had in his hand when pouring oil, he just had to do what he thought was right!" Xiao Ling covered her mouth and smiled.

In this way, it is not to properly show off how strong one's economic strength is.

"You've finished pouring out the oil, and then we can only eat boiled cabbage!" Sanwazi stood aside and looked at He Yu angrily, and then looked at the oil in the pot, and couldn't help sniffling.

The smell of vegetable oil that filled the room was so fragrant that people couldn't help but take a few more sips. Sanwazi didn't dare to show it, so he pretended to be disgusted and slandered He Yu from time to time.

He Yu also ignored Sanwazi, and the next move was to put some of the lobsters that they had worked so hard to wash into the pot.

He Yu skillfully stir-fried the lobster until it was glowing red. He weighed the spoon and knocked on the bamboo lid.

Because there was only one pot, He Yu could only wait for the soup in the pot to absorb.

"Wait a while, you can eat!"

After He Yu set up the firewood, he just waited for the juice to be collected.

"Uncle Yu, Xue'er hasn't eaten yet. She can already smell the meat."

Mei Xue looked at the white smoke rising from the pot, she slurped, and swallowed it again.

"This crayfish will take a while to cook, Xue'er, let's go out and clean up the table and dishes first."

Xu Erzhu counted the number of people, there were eight people in total, the room was a bit crowded, and he suggested, "Put the table into the courtyard, we have eight people here, and it would be nice to be under the big tree where the village chief enjoys the shade, what do you all think? "

"Yes, Not Bad."

Xiao Ling nodded, took Mei Xue's hand, and prepared the bowls and chopsticks together, while the elders moved the chairs and tables.

"Eat, eat crayfish!" Mei Xue took small steps cheerfully, not to mention how happy she was.

"Crayfish, eat crayfish, big pincers!"

The little girl was holding the washed one.Chopsticks, while bouncing around, ran to the tree where the village chief was enjoying the shade. Seeing the village chief squinting his eyes, Mei Xue looked around and saw the dog's tail grass, so she picked one mischievously.

She gently teased the village chief's big nose with the dogtail grass, and for a moment, her heart seemed to be brushed gently by the softest feather, and the slight itchiness instantly spread all over her body, scratching her heart and lungs. Intense itching.

The village chief thought it was a mosquito while he was lying down, so he subconsciously slapped his nose lightly, feeling that the mosquito had run away, and continued to sleep.

As a result, Mei Xue held back her smile, and scratched the village chief's nose with the bristlegrass. This time she couldn't hold back her nose, and with a sneeze, the village chief suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that little guy Mei Xue was standing in front of him.

Taking a closer look, there was still some saliva on the hound's tail grass, which should be the masterpiece after he sneezed just now.

"Girl, Pi?"

But don't look at the village chief's age, his body is flexible, and he bounced off the chair with a majestic momentum, which made Mei Xue tremble, thinking that the village chief would severely reprimand her for being naughty, but in the end, a light His fingers flicked on her forehead.

"Little girl called you Pi!"

Mei Xue pouted and looked at the village head with big eyes, facing such a cute and sensible little girl, how could he bear to educate her if she was naughty.

"Is the food ready? How is the crayfish doing? I can smell the aroma when lying under the shade of a tree. It tastes good."

"Village chief, your nose is so sensitive, we washed the lobster for an hour, and you just waited to eat it!" Cui Erwa couldn't help complaining.

If it had been another old man, Cui Erwa might not have said a word. The village head's healthy body couldn't even handle a lobster.

"Look at what you kid said, isn't this pot from mine? Isn't this firewood, rice, oil, and salt from my family?"

"If you eat lobster later, don't eat seasoning."

Cui Erwa looked begging for a beating, and proudly said to the village chief, "Hmph! It's a big deal to wash with water!"

Look at these two people, they live like grandparents and grandchildren. No wonder, the better the relationship between the two, the more relaxed they are. If the relationship is not good, they will be restrained everywhere.

"Little brother He Yu is still busy? He will be in charge of the kitchen today?" The village chief looked around, but only He Yu was not there, so he pointed to Cui Erwa, "Aren't you going to help? It's easy to move tables and chairs." Live, you are picking up some cheap money."

"What! He Yu doesn't need any help. He cooks and doesn't allow us to steal lessons. This kicks us out. Let us move the tables and chairs and prepare the dishes!"

"Uncle Erwa, Uncle Yu just asked us to come out to move the chairs and prepare the dishes. It seems that he didn't say that we can't let us watch him cook!"

The children's words were the most innocent. The village chief glared at Cui Erwa and urged, "Hurry up and help serve the dishes, and wait to eat the ready-made ones!"

"Xue'er is going too, and Xue'er is going too."

Mei Xue ran as fast as a rabbit and couldn't wait to eat crayfish.

She followed behind Cui Erwa, showing her little canine teeth happily, and when she came to the stove, she had already filled several plates of side dishes, as well as fruits, a large bowl of garlic lobster, crabs, and fish.

Mei Xue looked at the big pot of garlic lobster pitifully, and touched the corner of her mouth, just the smell was irresistible.

"Take the chopsticks."

Mei Xue was startled, and quickly picked up the chopsticks next to her.

"Pick one yourself."

After hearing this, Mei Xue happily picked up the crayfish, and the crayfish that came out of the basin was full of oil. Mei Xue kept licking and sucking the remaining oil on her fingers.

"The shell and part of the head of the crayfish are not edible."

Although He Yu reminded Meixue what not to eat, the little girl would eat anything she saw that would not eat a dead person after being hungry for a long time, so she didn't care much about whether the shells and heads of crayfish were edible.

After Mei Xue finished licking the minced garlic outside the crayfish shell, she bit the crayfish shell with her teeth. The crayfish shell became extra crispy after being fried. She was stunned looking at the white meat inside.

Immediately afterwards, she continued to eat the outer shell of the crayfish, and then peeled off the head, biting off the whole thing, it was delicious and crispy in her mouth.

After eating a crayfish, she didn't forget to shake her fingers, and then ran to Mei Sanniang with the crayfish.

Mei Sanniang was sitting with the village chief, and Xiaoling was sitting beside her, ready to wait for the food to be served.

"Mother, I'll give you a good meal!" Mei Xue opened her palm, revealing the lobster meat she just peeled with her mouth.

Because it was the first time, Mei Xue didn't know how to peel the crayfish, so she bit the crayfish unevenly with her teeth. Even though she was very careful, the lobster meat became very broken.

Looking at the glistening shrimp meat, Mei Sanniang suddenly couldn't hold back her tears. Seeing this, Mei Xue wiped it gently with her small hands.

"Come on, mother, open your mouth, and Xue'er will feed you."

Mei Sanniang subconsciously opened her mouth and chewed slowly. The lobster meat was smooth and delicate, and the taste was undeniable.

"Mother, why are you crying again, is this meat not tasty?"

It's not that the meat is not tasty, it's that Mei Sanniang can feel Xue'er's filial piety, she feels that she is too unfair to this child, she has not fulfilled her duty as a mother, and let the child suffer like this , in the final analysis, she is too useless.

"Xue'er..." Mei Sanniang said in a low voice, only her lips moved.

"Here comes the dish! The first dish is garlic lobster." Cui Erwa walked over with a large pot of crayfish. This color is very appetizing when opened.

"Come on, Rang Rang, steamed crabs and crayfish are here."

Xu Erzhu came to the table with two plates of dishes. These three dishes alone were like eating a feast. In the countryside, it would be nice to be able to eat rice with soy sauce. Not to mention so many lobsters and crabs, it is almost a year. Less than once, and moving rocks to catch crabs is time-consuming, and the meat is small, so few people go there.

"Come on, here comes the fish soup!" Sanwazi yelled after him. There are vegetables and soup, which is the standard dish that every household hopes for.

But in fact, in most cases, everyone eats the last meal without the next meal, especially when there are so many people in the family, it is even more difficult to bear the food. After a few days, the tank will bottom out.

"After a busy morning, it's lunch time!"

He Yu carried a water bottle and came over with a plate of spiced peas, which he placed gently on the table.

"Everyone take your chopsticks, let's eat! Go to the house to scoop up your meal. I'm smoking the rice crust! Just don't scratch the bottom of the pot."

"By the way, I'm not used to drinking fish soup, and there's also rice soup. It's a pity. I'll put it on the stove to dry."

He Yu sat next to Xiaoling, picked up the crayfish with chopsticks, then peeled off a piece of lobster meat with his hands, and put it in Xiaoling's bowl.

At this time, Sanwazi and the others just ate the lobster in one bite, and after chewing a few times, they found that after He Yu peeled off a piece of lobster meat, he didn't want the lobster shell and lobster head. operate.

However, Sanwazi found out that the shell of this lobster is really difficult to peel, it is better to eat it as a whole without peeling the shell.

And the lobster shells are also extremely delicious. Before they ate these lobsters, they still had sand. Today, they ate not only no sand, but also very delicious.

"Xiao Yu, your cooking skills are good! But why is there so much oil! It tastes delicious!" The village chief praised, but at the same time realized that something was wrong, why is there so much oil in the lobster.

All of a sudden, the village chief was stunned. There was a lot of oil, which meant that it was not his own oil, so he hurried to the kitchen, only to find that a small bottle of oil was still there.

The village chief heaved a sigh of relief, and sat back on his seat. At this time, He Yu smiled and said, "Village chief, don't worry, it doesn't take much oil!"

This pot is full of oil, saying that there is no oil, and it's teasing a three-year-old child.

The village chief asked curiously, "Where did you get the oil?"

"Xiao Yu, bring your own!" Xu Erzhu said.

"Oh! My family's oil, use it casually, why are you being polite to me!"

As the village chief said, he picked up a five-spice pea and chewed it with relish. Regardless of his age, his teeth are really good.

"Have some wine?" The village chief took out his white wine, poured some into his glass, and then looked at the others.

"Come on!" He Yu said.

"Young man, how can such a table of dishes be without good wine! The rice wine brewed in my house is not ready yet, only this white wine, and the elders will come to order some."

Everyone ate the crayfish meat with relish.

Mei Sanniang doesn't know how to peel crayfish, Xiao Ling and Mei Xue helped peel them all the way. In order to give her mother more food, Mei Xue dodged her eyes, looked around, and then focused on the crayfish in the bowl. Grab it, and put it carefully in the bag, even though it is mixed with oil, she is not too dirty.

What's more, she eats crayfish from the shell, and leaves the meat to Mei Sanniang. Xiao Ling taught Mei Xue several times, but Mei Xue didn't learn it, so she could only eat the shell.

Mei Xue put the oily crayfish into her bag, then peeled another crayfish, ate the shell and head, and kept the meat for Mei Sanniang.

Little did she know, Xiao Ling saw all this, she gently put her hand on He Yu's thigh, tapped it a few times, and raised her eyebrows.

At this time, He Yu also saw Mei Xue's little movements while drinking, and after he finished drinking, he called softly, "Xue'er."
