Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 19
Although some inexplicable people appeared, Qiao Lianlian's interest remained undiminished.

The food stockpiled two days ago has been eaten at home, so she decided to take the children to buy some food, and bring some pastries for the little glutton.

"Mother, I want to eat meat, meat." Gu Lou hugged his stepmother's thigh and yelled.

Qiao Lian couldn't help laughing.

"Every time you braise the mutton at home, you have to eat half of the leg of the lamb, and you still eat the meat." Gu Que gave the third brother a contemptuous look, "Eat less, mother will sell it for money."

Gu Lou pursed his lips, and lowered his head aggrieved.

Woohoo, my sister is a villain, my sister won't give him meat.

Qiao Lianlian hated his expression the most, shook his head and said helplessly, "Okay, let's buy some meat, what kind of meat do you want?"

Gu Lou immediately showed a satisfied smile, "As long as it's meat, it's fine."

Foodies are really not picky.

Qiao repeatedly hugged Gu Ge and said with a slight smile, "Then ask Geer, what does Geer want to eat?"

"Mother can eat whatever she chooses." Gu Ge was very well-behaved.

Gu Que glanced at Gu Lou from the side, "It's not as well-behaved as Xiao Wu."

Gu Lou made a grimace.

Qiao repeatedly suppressed a smile, thinking for a moment, "Buy some chicken, it's healthy and delicious."

Rare, Gu Cheng nodded.

It doesn't matter whether it's chicken or not, the main thing is that I've been eating lamb for several days, and I'm always a little tired.

Now as long as it's not mutton, he can do it.

While talking, the mother and the others stopped in front of the chicken stall, and Qiao Lian carefully selected two little roosters.

The shop tied up the little rooster's feet with ropes and put them into the bamboo basket that Qiao Lianlian was carrying.

In order to prevent the chickens from pooping halfway and dirtying the bamboo basket, Qiao Lianlian specially asked the store for a layer of rough straw matting.

Immediately afterwards, the mothers went to buy two more osmanthus cakes, some fried crispy fruits, and gave them as snacks in their spare time.

In the end, I went to Wang Butcher to take away the two flayed sheep.

Qiao Lianlian negotiated the price with Wang Butcher's family, one hundred cash per sheep, the fattest and biggest sheep, and keep two every day.

Wang Butcher's wife agreed and accepted five hundred cash as a deposit.

As a result, when I went today, I only saw sheepskins and nourishing blood all over the floor, not a single sheep.

"Wang Butcher."

Qiao repeatedly frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, "Where's my sheep?"

Butcher Wang didn't come out, it was Mrs. Wang who came out.

"Well, Xiao Qiao." Sister Wang's smile was a bit forced, "I'm really sorry, this meat is not enough to sell now, and the sheep you ordered can't be given to you."

She stuffed back the deposit of five hundred Wen, like throwing away a hot potato.

"How can you do this? The ordered sheep are gone. What should we sell tomorrow?" Gu Que was the first to stand up and argue with Mrs. Wang, his chest heaving and falling in anger.

"Girl, it's not our fault, this...we just can't sell meat to you." Sister Wang's face was very bitter, "Hey, let me tell you the truth, you offended people, I really can't sell this sheep to you." Sell ​​it, otherwise I won’t be able to make a living myself.”

"But you can't go back on what you say." Gu Que insisted, "Didn't you cheat us."

Being a villain would certainly not be a good temper.

Gu Que is the character of Little Pepper, which is usually covered up.

These days, under Qiao's repeated encouragement, intentionally or unintentionally, her temper has increased, and now she doesn't feel stage fright when arguing with outsiders.

"Girl, don't make things difficult for us. If you want to blame, blame you for offending someone you shouldn't offend."

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she turned around and ran away as if flying.

Gu Que stomped his feet angrily, and was about to chase after him, but Qiao repeatedly grabbed his arm.

"Mother." Gu Que was about to cry, "Their mutton must not be sold out at this point, they are lying, we have to buy meat, otherwise what will be sold tomorrow."

"Don't embarrass them."

Qiao Lianlian said quietly, "Yunxilou is one of the best restaurants in Xieyang County. Butcher Wang is just an ordinary butcher in the setting sun. Most of the peeled meat is sent to Yunxilou, and a few are sold to the villagers. He doesn't It is normal to dare to offend Yunxilou."

In the whole incident, the real villain is Yun Xilou.

Butcher Wang just suffered from an unreasonable disaster.

"But we won't have meat to sell tomorrow, and we won't make any money. Without money, our family will have to go back to the old days." Gu Que choked up.

These days, the whole family has enough food and clothing, and she can't imagine a better life, for fear that this is just a dream.

Now, is the dream about to wake up?
Qiao Lianchang sighed, the girl's mind is delicate, seeing a few silly boys beside him are still standing there blankly, they still don't understand what's going on, Gu Que has already started to worry about the future.

"Don't be afraid." She patted the girl's head, "It's just that there is no mutton, we can stew meat, chicken and pork are the same, the family will not be short of money, and we will not live like before. "

"Really?" Gu Que raised her teary eyes.

"Really, mother guarantees it with her life." Qiao Lianlian was very solemn.

Only then did Gu Que laugh through his tears, and wiped away the tears on Qiao Lianlian's arm.

Qiao repeatedly said, "..."

The mothers went back to the chicken stall and bought ten old hens in one go.

The stall owner was happy to see the teeth but not the eyes, tied up ten chickens like candied haws on a string, and presented a burlap bag to hold the chickens.

When Uncle Niu came to visit his mother, he was shocked when he saw a bag of live animals.

"What's the matter? No braised mutton, but braised chicken instead?"

"We were..." Gu Que opened his mouth to complain, but was interrupted by Qiao repeatedly, "I've been eating sheep for fear that everyone will get tired of it, so let's change the taste."

Uncle Niu nodded with a smile, "Xiao Qiao is good at cooking, everything is delicious."

……

Back to the old house.

Although Qiao repeatedly promised that the family would not be affected by this, the children's emotions were still inevitably a little depressed.

Even Aunt Liu who came to help noticed it.

She pulled Qiao Lianlian aside and asked, "Little Qiao, are the children being bullied?"

Qiao repeatedly waved his hands, "It's okay, auntie, the children are young, so they tend to worry easily when they encounter something, but it's actually nothing."

Aunt Liu nodded.

She also understood that Xiao Qiao looked thin and weak, but he was actually very assertive, smart and thoughtful, and he didn't seem to be a character who would be rounded and flattened by others.

He didn't worry about it any more, and turned around to help with the chicken feathers.

Braised chicken is different from stewed lamb. The mutton needs to be cooked thoroughly, and it doesn't matter if it takes longer.

This farm's self-raised free-range chicken cannot be cooked like this, otherwise it may not be able to pick up a piece of meat.

Mutton has no skin, and the meat is the main food, but chicken has skin, so it needs to be handled carefully.

First, soak the whole chicken in cold water for half an hour, remove the blood, put it in a pot of cold water, and blanch the blood to boil the foam.

About half a cup of tea time, take it out and put it in an empty pot, add rice wine, soy sauce, rock sugar, a lot of dried peppercorns, chili star anise and other spices. The braised chicken is ready.

The cooked stewed chicken is delicious, sweet and spicy, with a bit of chicken's unique springy teeth, and it is served with a slightly chewy chicken skin. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

The children couldn't stop eating, and even Aunt Liu ate half a chicken.
