Chapter 6162 Marinated Eggs
Yang Ruoqing didn't sleep well last night. She missed Luo Fengtang and had insomnia. When she woke up this morning and saw her slightly swollen eyes, she felt a little irritated.
Hearing this, he became even more angry. He placed a hard-boiled egg that was being applied to his eyes on the table and said in a deep voice: "This old dog seems to have other hiding places!"
"Xueyun, please give a message to the 'bait' woman we sent out. Let her change from passive to active from today on, take the initiative to approach the chamber pot man, and find out the whereabouts of Mr. Mo from him."
"yes!"
"In addition, take people into the mountain and temporarily seal the entrances to the two caves where the women are hiding to create the illusion of blockage by landslides and mudslides, so that he will not become suspicious before Mo's whereabouts are found out."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
…
After Liu Xueyun left, Yang Ruoqing immediately went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Although the aunt works hard and takes it as her own job to provide for the family's meals, as a junior, Yang Ruoqing still has to try her best to help and share some of her burden.
Even though there are many times when the aunt is reluctant to let her get her hands dirty, even if she is there to chat with her or help peel two heads of garlic, it is a comfort and comfort to the aunt.
It's not that Yang Ruoqing is lazy, Yang Ruoqing actually likes cooking. She can completely take over the spatula handle from Wang Cuilian.
But she didn't do that, and she couldn't do that.
Because aunt needs a platform to reflect her sense of existence and value.
She and her uncle Luo Blacksmith were a half-way couple (although their relationship was far better than most first-marriage couples). In order to help Luo Fengtang with all their strength, they gave up their plan to have their own biological child.
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing treated the two of them as legitimate parents-in-law and treated them with filial piety.
But sometimes people's psychology is very subtle. They are not NPCs, so it is inevitable that they will be a little worried about gains and losses.
As a junior, Yang Ruoqing must consider their feelings.
So she hesitated for a while, then took Wang Cuilian into the kitchen, and then hummed a little tune and came over to help.
"Qing'er, why are you up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Wang Cuilian was kneading dough, and when she saw Yang Ruoqing coming over, she turned around and said hello with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing put her hands behind her back and entered the kitchen with a smile: "Come over when you wake up. Auntie, I will help you cook breakfast."
In fact, she was embarrassed to say that as early as half an hour ago, she sneaked into the kitchen to cook a hard-boiled egg to apply to her eyes.
The hard-boiled egg was definitely inedible after the dressing. When I came out, I happened to encounter a giant teddy squatting at the door of its little owner, Baby Luo, with its tongue hanging out. So I threw it to it and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
It was in her stomach, but she still looked at her with a flattering smile on her face.
"Auntie, what are you planning to have for breakfast today?" Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves and asked.
Wang Cuilian put the kneaded dough aside to rest, looked around and said with a smile: "Last night, the baby asked me to eat dumplings filled with leek and vermicelli fillings this morning. I kneaded the dough and cooked some red beans later.
Millet porridge, stir-fried two side dishes, what do you think?"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said to Wang Cuilian: "Auntie, you have arranged it very carefully. However, I want to cook more eggs later and prepare braised eggs. When I want to eat them later, I will scoop a few and heat them up, and the brine will also be used.
Not easy to break."
"Okay, let's do it together and I'll help you pick the eggs."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together and were busy preparing breakfast this morning. In the process, they picked up fifty large eggs.
Anyway, there are a lot of eggs at home now. Blacksmith Luo brought back hundreds of eggs and duck eggs from Zhoujiacun two days ago.
Wash the eggs you picked out and then boil them in water.
During this process, Yang Ruoqing was busy preparing the marinade. The main ingredients of the marinade are star anise, fennel, bay leaves, tea leaves, salt, soy sauce, and an appropriate amount of sugar.
Since everyone in the family likes spicy food, Yang Ruoqing specially grabbed a handful of red dried chili seeds and threw them in.
When the water boils, the fifty eggs are also cooked. Take them out and soak them in a wooden bucket filled with cold water. After cooling down, the eggs will be easier to peel.
Don't throw away the boiling water used to cook the eggs, pour it directly into the jar containing the marinade ingredients.
After breakfast, Luo Baobao also volunteered to join the team of peeling egg shells. A few people peeled fifty eggs smoothly and translucently while talking and laughing.
"Mom, how long does it take for the braised eggs to taste delicious?" Luo Baobao asked curiously.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, and usually it should not be less than twelve hours. "It will be almost done by this time tomorrow. The further back, the deeper the taste will penetrate."
Baby Luo licked the corner of his mouth, "Then I'll wait and let it taste deeper before eating it."
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Okay."
"Mom, we can't hide anything when the time comes. Can we give some braised eggs to Ga's mother-in-law's family, uncle's and grandma's family, Wuga's mother-in-law's family, and Aunt Xiangxiang?" Luo Baobao asked again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled happily: "If you are willing, then give it to me."
Luo Baobao raised his eyebrows with a heroic look on his face: "Of course I am willing to do it. It is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together. You have to share the delicious food with everyone."
"By the way, I want to give two more to Bingbing. He picked lotus pods and gave them to me a while ago. I can't always eat the things he gave me, and I have to return the gift."
Yang Ruoqing nodded again, "Sure, you can take care of your interpersonal relationships by yourself, but there must be a bottom line. Other mothers will not interfere."
Although the Luo family's current wealth cannot be directly described as 'as rich as a country', it is very close.
However, most of the property was concealed from the outside world. Except for Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, no one else in the family knew.
Therefore, even if Luo Baobao spends a lot of money, this family can still afford to lose.
But Yang Ruoqing needs to teach her the correct way of living and getting along with others, and it is best to stop fighting in moderation.
When Baby Luo returned to the front yard, Yang Ruoqing sealed the jar and turned around to hear Wang Cuilian say: "The boy from Zhou Sheng's family, Bingbing, is really good to our baby. He goes there all the time for mulberries, peaches, lotus seeds, wild plums in the mountains and so on."
We’ll deliver it at home.”
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "The two children grew up together. When they were young, they were ignorant and often fought. When they grow up and become sensible, they naturally know how to treat their partners well."
Wang Cuilian asked again: "Is Bingbing's kid fourteen this year? I heard from Ping'er a while ago that he plans to join the army after the New Year!"
"It's good to join the army and fight for your future." Yang Ruoqing agreed with this. As a man, it is better to be a hot-blooded and tough guy.
Sitting at home, neither learning a craft nor going to school, nor having the capital and connections to do business, what will happen in the future? Of course, like Zhou Sheng, I will just have to earn a living by eating in the dirt.
, unable to reverse the fate of the Zhou family.
