Chapter 472 Uncle, do you want a daughter-in-law?
After eating, the afternoon's work was very simple, and there were no people around. Liu Chen spent the afternoon easily.
I got off work soon, took the deer antlers and tiger bones that Teacher Wang had given me, and got on my motorcycle to go home.
I didn’t eat much at lunch. The main course was really not very greasy, and Liu Chen didn’t really like to eat multigrain rice. White rice was more delicious, as well as stewed pheasant with mushrooms, spicy hare, braised fish, etc. These were Liu Chen’s favorites.
.
My stomach is growling with hunger, so I'd better ride home quickly and prepare some delicious food. I'll wait for my nephew and niece to come home so I can eat early.
Soon I rode my motorcycle to the entrance of Zhuangzi. The children who were not at school met me at the entrance of Zhuangzi. When they saw Liu Chen, they all had smiles on their faces, and several of them cheered: "Uncle Chen, you are finally back.
"
"What? Why are you waiting for me? What's the good news?"
Liu Chen looked at the children, each of them seemed to be waiting for him on purpose. What good deeds had these children done? Looking at their posture, it was obvious that they were here to take credit.
"Uncle Chen, you forgot, didn't you say you wanted to eat squirrels? We caught a lot of them for you."
The children said excitedly one by one. It seemed that these children were caught a lot.
Liu Chen almost forgot. Last night he promised the children squirrels in exchange for candies, but he completely forgot about it.
I caught a lot of them. Squirrels run very fast and are very cunning. These children are quite smart. How could they catch so many?
Liu Chen rode a motorcycle, with the children chasing after him, and soon arrived at the yard of Liu Chen's house.
Liu Chen parked his motorcycle and saw a lot of squirrels and various birds on the ground in the yard, including old turtle doves, bamboo pheasants, squirrels, etc. There were dozens of them. These children were quite capable.
I got so many in one day, there were five or six squirrels alone.
"Uncle Chen, is this enough for you? It's not enough for us to catch him tomorrow." Gou Sheng looked at Liu Chen and said proudly.
Liu Chen looked at these cuties on the ground. He was really unlucky to meet these naughty children and himself. If this happened in future generations, he would probably have a pair of silver bracelets. Fortunately, in this era, there is no such thing as protecting animals.
Liu Chen walked to the room and took out a lot of White Rabbit milk candies, gummy candies and melon seeds. He gave Gou Sheng another dollar and said with a smile: "This money is for you, you can share it with everyone."
Each person got three candies, each person grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and the money was divided up. Whoever caught more would get more points.
"Wow, wow, long live Uncle Chen."
The children cheered, screamed, and jumped. Not only did they have food, but they also got money. I didn't expect it. They just said they wanted candy yesterday, but they really didn't know they still had money.
.
"Uncle Chen, do you want more tomorrow? We'll catch you tomorrow." Gou Sheng took the money and said with a smile on his face.
"Forget it, it's better not to arrest me. These will be enough for uncle to eat for a while."
Liu Chen thought to himself, let's forget it. We can't kill them all. It's enough to satisfy our appetite, but we can't catch all these birds. The squirrel was also unlucky when it encountered Liu Chen.
The children took the food and money and ran away quickly, leaving many aunts in the yard. The aunt shouted: "Hurry up and save some candy for me to eat during the New Year."
How can children listen? They can run faster than rabbits.
Liu Chen looked at so many squirrels and birds on the ground. He really didn't know how to deal with them. Mainly because he had never dealt with the squirrels himself, so he should call his father back to deal with them.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Liu Jiefang coming back from outside. He was also shocked when he saw the squirrels and old turtle doves on the ground. This must be too much.
Liu Jiefang told Liu Chen that the squirrel skin could be sold, and the price was not cheap, and the bird feathers could also be used to make nests.
Liu Jiefang took these things and dealt with them first. Liu Chen also helped.
When I was little, I had it all done.
Needless to say, let’s try some squirrel meat first in the evening.
Squirrel meat is similar to chicken and rabbit meat. It is a mixture of them. It tastes sweet and fragrant, and is particularly beneficial to health. In fact, eating squirrel meat is a low-carbohydrate and saturated fat diet.
It is quite rich in protein and tastes great.
Liu Chen was an outsider when it came to making squirrel meat. After all, he had never eaten it. In later generations of our country, not many people eat squirrel meat, but in foreign countries, a lot of people eat squirrel meat.
Liu Chen was still not good at this dish, so Wang Mudan came over and decided that she should cook it, as she had plenty to eat.
Liu Chen came to light the fire. Now, Liu Chen was very proficient in making fire. He was no longer like at the beginning, when he couldn't burn the fire and his face was covered with ashes, like a big tabby cat.
I saw Wang Mudan pour some oil into the pot, fry the squirrel meat first until both sides turn golden brown, then put the squirrel meat into a pot with various vegetables, rice wine and water, and let Liu Chen cook it
Bring to a simmer.
The longer it lasts, the better it tastes and tastes better.
Wang Mudan told Liu Chen that slow stewing over low heat is the most ideal method, and all the bones of the squirrel must be kicked off before cooking so that it tastes more delicious.
After Wang Mudan finished everything, he went out to continue sewing tiger pillows. In a few days, it will be time for the market to open, and then everyone can sell them.
Before Liu Jiangang got married, everyone was thinking of selling it again, this time with more sewing.
Liu Chen simmered it on low heat for two hours, and the aroma was fragrant. Some wolfberries and red dates were put in it.
I took a bite with a spoon, and the taste was absolutely amazing. The sweet aroma filled my entire mouth, and the taste was absolutely addictive.
I didn’t eat much at noon, so I’d better cook more delicious food in the evening.
Some braised fish, some stir-fried hot and sour cabbage, some radish vermicelli, some steamed buns and some rice.
The aunts and aunts in the yard couldn't stand it anymore. They sniffed and swallowed and walked home, cursing as they walked, "You bitch, you eat meat all day long. Who can stand this?"
"Uncle, uncle, come out quickly."
Liu Chen seemed to hear the voices of his nephew and niece, and the voices seemed not quite right.
Liu Chen and everyone ran out quickly, only to see Wu Xuenong carrying a pale-faced, disheveled, and ragged girl on his back, who seemed to have fainted.
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was probably malnourished. She was very thin and not very tall.
"Come on, uncle, save this sister, she fainted just now."
Liu Chen immediately carried the girl to the room and placed her on the sofa first.
Liu Chen checked the girl's pulse. It was not a big problem. She was just hungry. She probably hadn't eaten for several days. She fainted from hunger and was very weak.
Liu Chen walked to the room and asked Sister Youdi to pour some brown sugar water and brought it to Liu Chen, who force-fed some to the girl.
Liu Chen performed acupuncture on the girl again, and saw the girl slowly regaining consciousness.
Seeing many people in front of her, she was so frightened that she trembled all over and broke out in cold sweat. She said tremblingly: "Where am I? Who are you?"
"Baby, don't be afraid, we are all good people and are the ones who save you." Wang Mudan said, holding the girl's hand.
The girl was seen curling up, looking at the people in front of her and saying, "Thank you, thank you for saving me."
At this time, the children looked at the girl and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You fainted just now, and we carried it back to you."
"Thank you, thank you." The girl knelt down.
"Baby, poor baby, what have you experienced? Get up quickly." Wang Mudan couldn't see this the most, and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.
I saw the girl kneeling on the ground again, looking at Wang Mudan and saying: "Please, please accept me, I have no home, and I don't know where my home is? I was sold by my parents to a blind man's home.
Yes, I escaped."
Wang Mudan hugged the girl, touched her head and said: "Poor baby, don't be afraid. You don't want to go anywhere in the future. Just stay at my house. You can be my daughter. I'll take it for granted."
A daughter is ready, what is your name?"
"Thank you, thank you, my name is Yingzi, grandma." Yingzi suddenly threw herself into Wang Mudan's arms.
Due to excessive excitement, Yingzi fainted again and fell into Wang Mudan's arms.
Liu Jiefang looked at Wang Mudan and shook his head: "Do you really want to take her in?"
"Yes, I want to take her in. I'm not afraid of having multiple daughters." Wang Mudan looked at Liu Jiefang and said.
"Okay, since you want to accept it, then accept it. Now my family can afford it. If there are more than one person, why don't we just open our mouths more?" Liu Jiefang said while smoking the pot.
Liu Chen felt that it was okay. This girl was really pitiful, so just accept it. Sister Di would be getting married in the next year, and she happened to have a girl to accompany her parents, so it was okay.
"Uncle, do you want a wife? She can stay and be your wife." Dahua looked at Liu Chen with a smile and said.
"Pfft" Liu Chen almost spit out his overnight meal, wife? Oh my god, what did this little devil think?
Let's forget it, this girl is too young and not her cup of tea. Besides, I have a sweetheart, so I still feel that Gu Wanjun is more suitable for me.
At this time, Wang Mudan and Liu Jiefang were also looking at him. Liu Chen was startled and quickly waved his hands and said: "Mom and dad, let's be younger sisters. It's better to be younger sisters. It will be great if you have more girls to love you."
"
Wang Mudan and Liu Jiefang looked at Liu Chen and laughed. Of course, they must be their younger sisters. Their son is so outstanding, so they must find someone worthy of their son. This young man is too young.
"You have the final say on your marriage. We will take whatever you like."
After hearing Wang Mudan's words, Liu Chen immediately hugged Wang Mudan and said coquettishly: "Mom... thank you, mom."
"Okay, Ah Chen, look at your sister quickly, she's fainted again." Liu Jiefang said, shaking his head.
Liu Chen took Yingzi's pulse again. He was too weak, and he was too excited just now. He would be fine later.
Liu Chen filled a bowl of squirrel soup. Yingzi slowly woke up smelling the aroma. When she saw the soup in Liu Chen's hand, she kept swallowing her saliva.
