Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

During this period, the young men and women were busy building houses, so the cooking task was left to the old women in the village.

Well, today, it is the turn of Old Lady Song and the others.

Mrs. Song took it with both hands and nodded, "Okay, Xiaoyue, go back and have a rest. Mother is going to start cooking dinner."

Xiao Lengyue saw that only Old Lady Song and another old woman were here today, so she asked, "Mom, aren't there usually five of us?

Why are there only two of you today? "

When Mrs. Song heard this, she smiled and said, “Mr. Chen just said that he needed some pine needles.

But the others couldn't spare any time, so they called the other three to help."

After saying this, another woman also spoke up, "Not only them, but all the half-grown children also went to help."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue understood and nodded, "Then I'll make dinner. Mother and aunt, just help me."

After saying that, without waiting for Old Lady Song to react, Xiao Lengyue went towards where the food was placed.

She looked at the ingredients on the ground, took out those that could not be stored for a long time, and then started to make a fire and boil water.

The woman looked at Xiao Lengyue, then looked at Old Lady Song and whispered, "Little sister, your daughter-in-law is really capable.

I didn't expect that although she is the daughter of the Leng family, she is not spoiled at all."

When the old woman said this, she patted Old Lady Song's hand and said with a smile, "You are blessed."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she smiled stiffly and looked at the old woman, thinking that she was more than just blessed, she must have been very lucky in her previous life.

But she couldn't say this to the old woman, so she could only nod to show that she was truly blessed.

They watched Xiao Lengyue bring out the vegetables, then took small stools to help pick them.

Just at this moment, Leng Haoxuan came over and saw Xiao Lengyue boiling water, so he hurried over to help.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Leng Haoxuan smiled and said, "Come and see if there is anything to eat."

Seeing the pheasant thrown at his feet, he asked, "Are you going to deal with the pheasant?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded and said, "Let's prepare some chicken soup."

Leng Haoxuan: "Chicken stewed with mushrooms?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "But I don't have any mushrooms here."

Upon hearing this, Leng Haoxuan bought some dried mushrooms from the mall and handed them to Xiao Lengyue.

After seeing this, Xiao Lengyue didn't say anything, but took a basin and soaked it.

When Leng Haoxuan saw the water boiled, he found a wooden basin and began to prepare the pheasant.

So, when Mrs. Song and the old woman came back from washing the vegetables, they saw a man helping Xiao Lengyue process the pheasant.

When Old Mrs. Song saw that it was not Song Ye, she was slightly stunned, but she did not rush to ask. Instead, she and the old woman brought the dishes to the table.

Before she could ask, she heard the old woman happily say, "Young man, are you new here?

How come I haven’t seen you before?”

When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he raised his head and nodded, then continued to toy with the pheasant.

Seeing that his movements were very skillful, Xiao Lengyue ignored him and took out a knife and started cutting vegetables.

Upon seeing this, Old Lady Song took out a wooden basin. She knew that Xiao Lengyue was used to cutting everything before frying, so she took out several.

Xiao Lengyue was about to go back to get the basin when she saw Old Lady Song helping her get it out. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

Old Madam Song shook her head and looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Do we need to light another fire?"

"Thank you, mother. I'll make some soup later."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she understood what she meant. Just as she was about to leave, Leng Haoxuan came over with a pheasant.

"Xiao Yueyue, would you like to chop up the pheasant?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Yes."

After saying that, he looked up and saw his mother-in-law looking at Leng Haoxuan in surprise. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to introduce her.

Leng Haoxuan looked at the kind old woman in front of him, nodded, and was about to leave when he heard Xiao Lengyue say, "Mom, this is my second brother, Leng Haoxuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Lady Song and Leng Haoxuan were stunned.

Old Madam Song: "Is this the second young master of the Leng Mansion?"

Leng Haoxuan: "Xiao Yueyue, is this Song Ye's mother?"

When Mrs. Song heard this, she burst into laughter and said, "Yes, yes, I am Song Ye's mother."

When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he chuckled and turned to look at Xiao Lengyue, his eyes clearly seeking help.

Xiao Lengyue: "Mom, when we went out this time, we happened to meet my second brother, so we brought him back."

Old Mrs. Song nodded, "Okay, that's great, this way, the whole family will be together."

When she said this, you could clearly feel that she meant it sincerely.

Old Madam Song noticed that Leng Haoxuan was a little uncomfortable, so she looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Xiaoyue, I'll go see Tianrui and the others."

Xiao Lengyue nodded. After seeing Old Lady Song leave, she looked at Leng Haoxuan, who was still a little uneasy, and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

"No, I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."

Xiao Lengyue nodded and looked at the pheasant in his hand, "Second brother, you chop the chicken first."

"it is good."

When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he started chopping quickly and finished chopping the pheasant in a short while.

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue put water in the pot, put the chicken in, and threw in ginger and cooking wine, thinking of blanching it first.

But after the water boiled, I found only a little blood foam, and the soup already smelled a bit like chicken soup.

After thinking about it, I got rid of the blood foam, threw the mushrooms directly in, added salt, turned to low heat and started simmering.

Taking advantage of this time, she quickly cut all the other vegetables and took out the pork belly.

Leng Haoxuan saw the meat and asked, "Are you going to make braised pork?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Yes, they haven't eaten much meat in the past two days. Let's have a good meal today."

Leng Haoxuan nodded, "Okay, at least with me here, you won't have to worry about having nothing to eat."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she laughed and started cutting potatoes.

After everything was done, she lit the fire, put all the meat into the pot, and started stir-frying. After the excess fat was fried out, she served it out.

After removing the excess oil, add a handful of rock sugar and stir-fry over low heat until it turns caramel color. Then pour the meat in and add the onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and some dried red chilies and stir-fry.

Then pour in dark soy sauce to add color, light soy sauce to enhance the flavor, then pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water, cover the lid and start stewing.

For a moment, the smell of braised pork reached the villagers' noses.

Smelling the smell, everyone asked curiously, "Who is cooking today?"

Woman No. 1: "It's Old Madam Song and the others."

Woman No. 2: "I don't think it's their craft."

·············

Just as everyone was discussing, Sister Song spoke up, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be my brother's wife."

After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for two seconds.
