Chapter 81 Making Sausages and Roasting Whole Lamb 1
Nalan Jue stepped forward and pinched Xue Jinlan's neck with his hands, staring at her with sinister eyes.
"You actually dare to drug me! And you want to feed me Gu worms?"
Xue Jinlan had tears in her eyes and kept shaking her head: "That's not the case. I did something wrong because I loved the young master. Mr. Nalan..."
Nalan Jue let go of Xue Jinlan, turned around and said, "You are pretending to be crazy in front of outsiders. Do you think this is over?"
"Master Nalan, I just hope you can look at me one more time. The poison didn't get to you in the end, so just spare me!"
Nalan Jue pinched Xue Jinlan's cheeks, came closer and said, "Then I will let you look at me one more time now!"
The Nalan Jue in front of her became strange and fierce, his eyes were stern, and against the candlelight in the dark room, his usually gentle face looked like a devil to her at the moment.
Xue Jinlan coughed as his cheeks hurt from being pinched by Nalan Jue.
Nalan Jue threw her to the ground hard.
"Stop telling lies about admiring me. It's true that you want to marry me and build my family business!"
After Nalan Jue understood her desire, Xue Jinlan no longer pretended to be innocent. She said with a cough: "Mr. Nalan, my father's family is extremely wealthy. Isn't it good for our two families to get married?"
"I think your father's salt industry was taken over by the government, and other trading companies are declining day by day, so you want to marry me. Do you really think I'm a dude who only knows how to eat and doesn't understand business affairs?"
"Master Nalan, with my father's connections, your Nalan family will definitely be able to return to Beidu and regain control of Beijing Airlines..."
"I don't like talking about politics with women the most. Just listen to your father and go live in a county where no one knows you."
"You...did you ever talk to my father?"
"Someone, send her back!"
Xue Jinlan was knocked unconscious, put in a sack, and sent back to Xue's house.
.
Since Ruifeng Building was sealed, the second uncle Liu Yongde's family has been cut off from the source of food.
Half of the large vegetables he and Mrs. Gao planted rotted in the ground. The stepmother Ke Shi was so angry that she would run to the door of Mao Xi's house from time to time and yell at her, saying that it was Mao Xi who caused the Ruifeng Building to close.
It was just dawn at Yinshi, and Mao Xi's family was having breakfast.
Ke passed by Ma Xi's house after collecting the vegetables, then ran to the door and started yelling.
She did not step into Mao Xi's house, but stood two meters away from the threshold, pointed at Mrs. Chen with her index finger and cursed:
"You lose money, you don't care about your own daughter. How can a girl go out to sea on a boat with a bunch of gentlemen? Damn!"
Mao Xi wanted to scold him back, but Chen stopped him. In rural areas, if younger people talk back to their elders, they will be scolded.
Like a hen protecting its chicks, Mrs. Chen blocked Shui Xi behind her and shook her head at the table. Lou Laner was so angry that she wanted to rush out of the door.
Ms. Chen walked out of the door and began to scold Ms. Ke:
"I respect you as a mother-in-law, and I don't usually quarrel with you. Your granddaughter was kidnapped by the Liu family's hired thugs. You didn't care, and instead scolded her. You only have eyes for the vegetable business of your second son's family."
Ke's voice was not as loud as Chen's, and she had never seen Chen so protective of her calf. She was unwilling to give in, walked around to the window, pointed at Mao Xi at the dining table and continued to curse: "I said you are just a low-life, loser. If we don’t produce good seeds, my second son’s vegetables will not be sold, and your whole family will be the enemies of our old Liu family.”
Mrs. Chen couldn't bear to hear what her mother-in-law said about her daughter. She picked up the bamboo broom used to sweep up chicken manure and drove Mrs. Ke out: "We have separated our families. Who is still with your old Liu family, get out of here!"
"Sister, grandma is so powerful!" Xiaodouzi grabbed her sister and watched from the window as her mother drove away the vicious stepmother.
Back at the dinner table, Mrs. Chen combed her hair and said to Lou Lan'er: "Miss Lan'er is laughing. My mother-in-law is a bastard. Don't listen to her nonsense."
"Aunt! You are so powerful. Even if you don't blow her away, I will drive her away with a broom. People like this always come to the door and nag at her. It's very annoying!"
Just now, Ma Niang stood up for him, and Mao Xi felt happy in his heart.
"Auntie, there is still one acre of corn. We will harvest it together with the autumn rice in a few days. In the morning I will go to Niujia Village to buy sheep intestines for making sausages."
When Lou Lan'er heard that Shu Xi was going out alone, she expressed that she wanted to accompany her.
"No, you were kidnapped by yourself last time, and you forgot about it so quickly?"
Mao Xi shook his head and said, "It's been a month. Is it okay if I ask Brother Mu to accompany me?"
"That's almost there!"
As soon as he went out, he ran into Brother Chun Sheng. He stepped forward and asked Millet Xi: "Ah millet, when will your rice be harvested? I see that many sparrows have begun to eat the millet recently. You must harvest it early, otherwise it will be harvested by the birds and It would be a pity if the locusts eat it.
"We'll go harvest tomorrow!"
"Ah Shu, why don't I stay and collect some first, and you go to the store first," said Chen.
Although Chen's illness has improved, Shu Xi doesn't want her to work too much.
"Auntie, when I come back from Niujia Village, it will be faster for us all to harvest together."
Lihua Town, in front of Liuxiang Snack Shop.
Ma Boluo was taking a walk in the early morning and saw Mu Zhiyuan waiting at the door of the restaurant to open the door.
"Hello, friend, why did you come to Liuxiang Snacks so early in the morning? Are you waiting for breakfast coffee like me?" Ma Boluo asked.
Mu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Friend, Ah Shu and I are going out to do errands today. Thank you for your support of the small shop."
Ma Boluo looked at Mu Zhiyuan meaningfully, patted his shoulder and said, "Friend, are you pursuing Miss Ah Shu, right? I believe you can do it, come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Xi's family had already arrived at the snack shop, and other helpers also entered the shop one after another.
Ma Xi sat on the donkey cart, opened the curtain and shouted, "Brother Mu, let's go to Niujia Village."
As soon as Niu Sanhua saw Mao Xi, she hugged her and spun her around three times: "Sister, let me see, you are really brave! I heard that you came back from a trip to Nanzhou."
"Sister Sanhua, I'm fine. I'll ask you to buy some lamb intestines today."
"Come on, I'll take you to the village. We're in time to eat roasted whole lamb today!"
On the village lawn, Niu Yidao was roasting two whole lambs by the stove.
Seeing that Niu Sanhua had brought two guests, the villagers invited them to the table.
Niu Erfeng was cooking radish and mutton soup in the pot. Niu Erfeng cut off the roasted mutton and chopped it into small pieces on the chopping board for the women to serve at the table.
Mao Xi came to the stove and helped roast another whole lamb.
The mutton has been coated with dipping sauce and placed on the grill with knife edges all over the body. Mao Xi turns the roasted lamb. The skin is golden and crispy. Mao Xi's mouth watered just looking at it.
"Brother Niu, how do you make the seasoning for this roasted whole lamb?"
"The seasonings include onion, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin powder, and chili powder. It is mainly grilled with charcoal. You need to brush the seasoning several times and apply it along the edge of the knife. This one is also baked."
After Niu Yidao finished speaking, he cut off a roasted leg of lamb and handed it to Mao Xi: "Sister Mao, this leg of lamb is for you to eat."
The leg of lamb was bigger than Ma Xi's face, so she quickly picked up a big plate and put it on it.
Niu Yidao used his knife to cut a few more mutton chops and put them on the plate. Mao Xi put them on the table. Everyone grabbed the mutton chops with their bare hands and started to eat them.
Niu Sanhua made a bowl of mutton soup for Mao Xi, cut some mutton leg meat for her with a knife, and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, it's hot!"
