I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Decai sniffed it, stuck out his tongue, rolled it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a slurp.

Fu Jichang, who had just left Wei County, sneezed several times.

Ji Xiaobei: Isn't it just cooking fish? How difficult is it? Why would you leave a stupid instruction manual?

That handwriting is harder to understand than mine!

In Mrs. Lin's hands, no matter what it is, it can be stewed in one pot.

Of course, I learned how to stew this pot from Ji Xiaobei.

"Bei, this thing looks like a snake. Can it really be eaten?"

Mrs. Lin stared at it for a long time but didn't dare to catch it.

"Mom, it's edible. It's called yellow eel. It has few bones and is very delicious." Ji Xiaobei said.

Mrs. Lin was skeptical. When there was water in the small river at the entrance of the village, there were fish in the river. The fish were not big, and their bodies were covered with thorns, without much meat.

It is difficult to catch, and usually no one eats it.

Mrs. Lin held the knife, closed her eyes, and prepared herself mentally in front of the clay jar for half a day, but she didn't dare to take action.

This looks so much like a snake that I don't dare catch it.

Ji Xiaobei didn't dare to move, she was afraid of the slippery thing.

The mother and daughter stared at the earthen jar, their eyes wide open.

Ji Xiaobei came up with a good idea.

She kicked the jar over and the water flowed all over the floor.

Several eels were struggling on the ground in panic.

"Mom, they will stop moving in a while, and then we can deal with them." Ji Xiaobei clapped his hands and said.

Mrs. Lin looked at her eldest daughter with admiration.

A quarter of an hour later, the eels stopped moving, so the mother and daughter picked them up, put them on the washboard, and cleaned them up.

"Bei, how do you do it?" asked Mrs. Lin.

"Mom, it's the same stew as the chicken and mushrooms!"

"I understand. It means replacing the chicken with fish, right?" Mrs. Lin quickly understood.

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

A dozen precious eels that came from far away were chopped into pieces.

There are so many that Mrs. Lin is worried that they can’t finish them!

Ji Xiaobei: Don’t be afraid, everyone who sees it will have a share. Invite everyone in the ancestral hall to come home and eat.

Mrs. Lin shuddered: That’s not enough to share!

Ji Xiaobei: We have plenty of side dishes at home!

So Mrs. Lin went to blanch mushrooms, blanch radishes, blanch eggplants, and cut potatoes...

Ji Xiaobei simply moved out the largest pot and placed it in the yard.

Turn on the fire, add oil to the hot pot, sauté the scallion and ginger, add the fish fillet, stir-fry, add water, dried mushrooms, dried radish, dried eggplant, and potatoes, and stew over high heat.

Mrs. Lin made cornmeal cakes in a circle.

Ji Xiaobei was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough to eat, so he steamed another pot of mixed grain rice.

The pot was bubbling with steam, and the aromas included eel, dried mushrooms, dried radish, dried eggplant, and potatoes, mixed with the scent of cornmeal cakes.

A mixture of various scents, the kind that makes your saliva flow just by smelling it!

Ji Xiaobei looked at the big pot and laughed: Yellow eel from the south, eaten like a stew from the northeast!

The eel never dreamed that he would die in such a northeastern style!

The world can be cooked in an iron pot, everything can be cooked in one pot, yyds!

Xiaohua, Ma Xiaoqi, Tieqiu, Tiedan, and Yaner, several children were squatting at the foot of the wall, drooling.

The women from the ancestral hall came trotting over, smelling the fragrance.

The gifts that others gave to our boss, he actually stewed them and gave them to us to eat.

For such a big pot, the host also prepared two kinds of dry food.

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were so moved that they burst into tears.

All the gratitude can be condensed into two words: Eat!

A large iron pot of eel stew was shared out, and all the women were beaming with joy as they ate it.

If you have a boss like this and don’t work hard, you are not a human being.

"Bei, don't worry. The aunts and sisters are here, and our shop is here!" the women said loudly.

"Yes, Xiaobei, go ahead and don't worry..."

……

Mrs. Lin still made too much, so she asked the other women to take one pancake each and take it home to feed the children.

Before Ji Xiaobei and his companions set off, they received all kinds of strange farewell gifts: a scoop of soybeans, a bowl of mung beans, fried peanuts, roasted soybeans, and jujubes...

Ji Xiaobei: …

Shitou and his three boys knocked on the donkey cart for a while to make sure it was safe.

"Sister, should Ji Decai go or Ma Debiao go?" Shi Tou asked in the yard.

Before Ji Xiaobei could say anything, Mai Ma Debiao started to grunt and shout.

Ji Decai, who was standing aside, gave him a hard kick.

Ji Decai: How can you be so shameless? Would a thief compete for favor?

Ma Debiao: No, I am not trying to win favor, I really want to go with you, after all, there are horses I miss there...

Ji Decai: What?

Ma Debiao: No, what I mean is that the journey is long and it would be too tiring for you to go!

Ji Decai kicked again: A man who says one thing and thinks another will not have a good death!

Ma Debiao felt nervous...

Ji Xiaobei looked up at the nervous Ma Debiao and the expectant Ji Decai.

"If both of them go, one car won't be able to accommodate so many people!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Ma Debiao: No! Please...it's not convenient for her to go!

Ji Decai kicked it triumphantly.

Mrs. Lin said, "Decai seems to be pregnant again, look at her belly..."

Ji Decai: Damn it, how come I'm pregnant again? Ah... I have to give birth to another baby...

Ma Debiao begged for praise: It’s because I’m diligent…

Ji Decai's eyes widened with anger, he turned his head and hit De Biao fiercely in the stomach.

Damn it, I’m pregnant with two babies in one year. Do you want me to live?

Ma Debiao arched his back and went forward, rubbing his ears, licking him... and coaxing Ji Decai in a low voice.

Gide softened after a while.

Ji Xiaobei: The scumbag deceived you with just a few words, you deserve to have two babies in one year!

Ji Decai said delicately: I am willing! As long as De Biao is fine, I am fine too!

Ji Xiaobei: Bah! There will be a time for you to cry!

Shitou likes to let Ma Debiao go because he is big and walks steadily, so he doesn't feel bad if he is whipped a few times.

Mrs. Lin said, "Look at Ji Decai's little belly and legs. She's quite pregnant. Another baby. Shitou, go get her some good fodder to feed her!"

Shitou agreed and went.

"One car can't fit all the people here!" Mrs. Lin was a little worried.

If we hire a carriage, it will cost a lot of money.

"It's not a big deal that Decai is pregnant with a donkey. Just don't get too tired!"

Ji Xiaobei said.

She didn't want to hire a carriage, and her own donkey was more useful.

Ji Decai was very happy to be reinstated.

Ma Debiao's interest suddenly died down. After all, Ji Decai was going with him, so it would not be convenient for him to find the foal by himself.

Ji Xiaobei: Bah! If you keep imagining this, I’ll kill you!

Ma Debiao turned his head hurriedly.

In the evening, Mrs. Huang went to Mrs. Lin's room.

"Boss, do you think you still need to take me with you?" Mrs. Huang asked seriously.

"Need not!"

Huang Po: ...

"I'm used to taking Xiaobei's pulse. If I don't do it for a day, I'll be worried. And I know her situation best. I'm leaving..."

After saying this, Huang Po glanced at her boss secretly and pretended to leave.

Mrs. Lin grabbed her and said, "Forget it, one more is not too much, just take your medicine box..."

Mrs. Huang agreed quickly: "Everything is ready. I have prepared Xiaobei's medicine!"

Mrs. Lin: ...
