Chapter 9 is the red beak
Chapter 9

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and quickly walked forward and sat down on the stool next to Mrs. Liu. Then she put Fugui in her arms in front of Mrs. Liu and said, "Mother, what's wrong with Fugui? It looks better than before. I lost a lot of weight."

Hearing Mrs. Zhang talking about her eldest grandson, Mrs. Liu quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, took the eldest grandson in Mrs. Zhang's arms, looked carefully, nodded and said, "Really, this child seems to have lost a lot of weight. .”

Mrs. Zhang sighed slightly, and then said softly, "Hey, Chang Dong has been too busy to take care of our mother and daughter recently, and I have to clear the porridge and cabbage every now and then. I have run out of milk."

As soon as Meng Yuan'er heard it, she knew what Zhang's plan was. During the few days she came back, she started cooking by herself, and she ate earlier than here. She was afraid that someone would grab the food from her. The elder brother often came back without food. It was only then that she started a partnership with her parents, and now that the sister-in-law saw Xi'er coming back with a fish, she quickly came to eat.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she also understood what Mrs. Zhang meant, and she said for the sake of her grandson, "It just so happens that your third sister cooks fish, and she also uses fish heads to make soup for you. We will have dinner together later." , you drink more, fish soup with milk."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and said, "Oh, my mother still misses me. My wife is really flattered."

The stewed fish head soup is almost the same, at least you can eat a few bites of meat, and you can still eat fish later, and you will save a few copper coins for this meal.

Seeing Zhang's expression, Meng Yuan'er felt even more displeased. This sister-in-law knew how to take advantage. When it was her parents' turn to have something to do, she didn't fart, just like the day Xi'er had an accident, she actually brought He brought the child back to his natal family, and took away all the money earned by the elder brother, which forced the family to sell all the chickens and ducks.

"Hmph, I just know how to eat." Meng Yuan'er snorted coldly, and without waiting for Mrs. Zhang to refute, she stood up with a sewing basket and said to Mrs. Liu, "I'll go and see Xi'er."

After that, he left without turning his head. The angry Mrs. Zhang didn't sit or stand, a rebuttal stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it for a long time.

Liu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, as the second daughter, she has a more aggressive temper, which is good, so as not to be wronged in the future.

"Mother" Mrs. Zhang became anxious, and she couldn't get angry, so she could only look at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu put away her smile, looked at Mrs. Zhang helplessly, and said, "Hey, I spoiled Yuan'er."

As soon as Meng Yuan'er arrived in the backyard, she could smell the aroma coming from the kitchen. This smell was a little different from the smell of the usual food, but she couldn't explain it all the time, and her steps became lighter.

"Xi'er, what did you do?" Meng Yuaner asked with a smile on her face as she pushed open the kitchen door, feeling a fresh scent filling her nostrils.

Xi'er was busy with her work, when she heard Meng Yuan'er's voice, she immediately raised her head and said with a smile, "Second Sister, are Dad and Brother back yet? You can eat now."

Meng Yuan'er saw that Xi'er was still chopping scallions, and recalled the broth with scallions a few days ago, she couldn't help but feel greedy, so she shook her head and said, "No, give me a taste first. "

Seeing her greedy face, Meng Xi'er held back a smile and shook her head and said, "I can't give you this fish, it wouldn't look good if you put a piece in it, the fish soup, you can try it."

While talking, he opened the lid of the pot and dropped a small handful of chopped green onions. The milky white fish soup was boiled with green chopped green onions, and the color contrast was very strong.

Meng Yuaner was shocked when she saw the fish soup in the pot. She had never seen such soup before. The fish soup she drank on weekdays was all clear. How could the fish soup made by Xier be so clear? white.

Her astonishment was captured by Xi'er, and she scooped up a bowl of fish soup with an iron spoon and handed it to Meng Yuan'er, then said excitedly, "Second sister, you should try it, it should be delicious. "

Meng Yuaner tasted the fish soup suspiciously, and the rich umami taste permeated between her lips and teeth. She was very surprised and asked, "Xi'er, what did you put in this soup? The color is beautiful and the taste is good. I have never had such a delicious fish soup."

Meng Xier was very satisfied with Second Sister's performance, she shook her head mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you for now, as long as it tastes good, then go out and see if Dad and the others are coming back soon? We are going to eat."

"Success." Meng Yuan'er nodded heavily, and was about to turn around and go out after drinking the soup, but suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said to Xi'er, "By the way, Xi'er, mother said that sister-in-law should follow us too eat."

"Ah? Sister-in-law? Okay, I see." Meng Xier was a little surprised. This sister-in-law has been back for several days, but she has never had a meal with everyone, and she cooks it herself.

Only then did Meng Yuan'er turn around and leave the kitchen, feeling much better with a stomach full of warm fish soup.

It happened that she went to the front yard, and both Meng Hai and Meng Changdong came back, and the women were busy pouring water and tidying up the house for dinner.

A plate of red chilli fish was brought to the table, everyone's eyes were stunned, what is this thing, just looking at the color made my heart tremble.

"Xi'er, what, what is this?" Mrs. Liu looked at the chili fish on the table, very curious.

Xi'er smiled and said nothing, just said softly, "Father and mother, try it, it should taste good."

Meng Hai nodded, he didn't pay much attention to food, as long as he could fill his stomach, he was about to put down his chopsticks, but he heard Zhang's scream of "Aw".

Mrs. Zhang dropped the chopsticks in her hand, stood up and pointed at Meng Xier, cursing angrily with a terrified expression, "You are cruel, are you trying to kill me? You actually gave us this poison. I just got along with you." If you bicker a few words, even if you want to poison me to death, but, what's wrong with your parents and your elder brother!"

Zhang's excited behavior and expression made everyone present stunned, but Meng Yuan'er spoke up for Xi'er indignantly, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, why did Xi'er harm us? "

"Take a good look inside the plate to see if it is the most common poison in the field, the red beak, you can see for yourself!" Zhang's voice trembled a little, and just a little bit of the red beak can make people feel it with their tongues. Just like Daodao, this Meng Xier was so cruel, she put such a full plate.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Meng Yuan'er's eyes fell on the plate of chili fish. After a careful look, her eyes also changed. She stretched out her hand and shook Xi'er's arm, and said in disbelief, "Xi'er, are you Are you sick and stupid? Didn’t I tell you that this thing is poisonous?”

Meng Xi'er couldn't help chuckling in her heart, she looked down on Mrs. Zhang, with such a big upright staff, she spoke so viciously of herself, people who didn't know thought she was going to poison her sister-in-law, so she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and prepared it. Put it in your mouth, action is the best explanation.
