Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

"Huanhuan, the money from selling the handkerchiefs is all in my purse, and I haven't had time to give it to you, so I'll give you this chicken to eat."

Chun Xing also saved up more than one or two taels of silver in her own pocket, all of which was given to her by Huan Huan.

"I'll keep the chicken. Let's just eat dinner together. I'll cook."

"Okay, I'll go tell my mom!"

Chun Xing knew that Huan Huan cooked delicious food, so she agreed without hesitation.

Yu Suihuan turned around and saw her mother-in-law, Li Zhou, holding the chicken, not knowing what to do, so she walked up to her and said.

"Mom, since it's a gift from Brother Dazhuang, just take it. Why don't we invite their whole family over to eat with us tonight?"

"After dinner, give them some of the pickles and biscuits we made at home as a courtesy. They didn't prepare anything in advance, so they definitely don't have much to eat."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Li Zhou likes to listen to her third daughter-in-law and do as she says, which is right.

All the annoying ones have left, and only these few are left. After one final discussion, everyone decided to just eat together.

There are a total of thirty or forty people in the Li family, including the Li Laoda family, the Li Laoer family, the Li Quanfu family, the Li Dazhuang family, and the hunter Wu.

Several families came together to bring out a total of seven chickens, as well as various vegetables, dried vegetables, pancakes, etc., and started working.

At this time, only a large number of people who were queuing at the city gate to enter the city went in, and the remaining half were driven back.

Because they did not have enough money to buy the cheapest residential plot, they were not allowed to enter, including Yang Po's family.

As soon as Mrs. Yang returned to the straw hut, she started cursing, but Dabao's eyes were always on the chopped chicken pieces in the basin.

"Grandma, I want chicken!"

Mrs. Yang is a stubborn person and wanted to take advantage of others, but when she saw the big kitchen knife in Li Zhou's hand, she got scared again!

"Grandma will kill it for you right now, my dear grandson, just wait."

They also have chickens at home, huh!

Mother Yang cursed inwardly, saying that Li Zhou was so stupid and foolish that she let so many unrelated people eat the food. She really had nothing to do but have too much food. When the day came when there was no food left, her whole family would starve to death!

Seeing Yang Pozi and her family being driven back further confirmed Yu Suihuan's speculation. It seems that as long as there is money in Jishui County, the poor people are not within their consideration at all.

Once these people entered the city, they would be drained of their money sooner or later when King Liang went to war and lacked military pay.

She took a deep breath. She was powerless to stop the fight between the kings and princes, so she decided to cook and fill her stomach first.

She took out a small bag of spices and a small jar of sauce from the mule cart, which she had prepared in advance.

Set up two large iron pots, first fry the chicken until fragrant and drain out the moisture, then add the sauce until it is colored, then add half a pot of water, and then add spices and salt.

After the pot was boiled, the aroma wafted from far away, attracting everyone to look over here. Even those guarding the city gate couldn't help but stretch their heads to glance over here from time to time.

This family’s stewed chicken is so delicious. We’ve eaten chicken at home before, but this one has never been so delicious.

Oh my god! I have never smelled such a good smell in my life.

After the chicken had been stewed for quarter of an hour, Yu Suihuan put a lot of dried vegetables in it and added some spiritual spring water.

Add some fresh vegetables before serving.

In just over half an hour, two large pots of chicken stew were ready, and the smell was so delicious that people were drooling.

Everyone had a full bowl and added some dry biscuits to the soup. It tasted so delicious.

Although each person didn’t get much meat in their bowl, the stew in it was very fragrant.

After everyone had their share, there was still quite a bit left in the pot. Yu Suihuan looked at the city gate and discussed it with everyone.

"We have almost used up all the water we brought. Why don't we give these food to the soldiers guarding the city in exchange so that we can go into the city to get some water."

No one had any objection. Although there would be no shortage of water after the rain, the rain water was too dirty and drinking it might make people sick.

Yu Suihuan put the remaining chicken stew into a porcelain bowl, and placed some dry biscuits on top, filling up the whole bowl.

Li Chengjin held the basin and followed two people behind her towards the city gate.

There is a small shed built at the city gate. Before you even enter, you can hear bold and rough teasing voices coming from inside.

The two men walked to the door of the shed and saw five or six men in official uniforms sitting inside. They were sitting together. There was a plate of peanuts and a jar of wine on the table.

The man sitting in the middle was not dressed neatly, his eyes were blurry from drunkenness, his beard was untidy, and he had a scar on his face, which made him look fierce, like a rough old man.

Seeing a man and a woman carrying basins over, five or six people couldn't help but stop laughing and look at them.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I stewed some chicken at home. I want to honor you with some. You have worked hard guarding the city. I hope you don't mind."

After Li Chengjin finished speaking, seeing that five or six people had no intention of refusing, he wisely placed the basin in the middle of the table.

The chicken stew was hot, and the fresh, fragrant and spicy aroma immediately filled the shed, causing several people to sniff in unison.

The plate of peanuts suddenly looked so shabby.

"It smells so good, what a great craft!"

The man with the scar on his face picked up a pancake first, then picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, getting his mouth covered in oil.

Several other people also picked up their chopsticks and went straight for the greasy chicken. The moment they put it in their mouths, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and praised it for being delicious.

"This chicken is stewed in a salty, fragrant and spicy way. It's really a skillful stew. I've been to every restaurant in this city, but I've never eaten chicken as delicious as this."

When Shi Shoucheng was young, he served as a soldier and fought in wars. Later, he was seriously injured and his face was disfigured. His boss asked someone to find him a job guarding the city gate, and he became a small city defense general.

"My wife's cooking is crude and not worthy of being served. I hope you guys like it. It's our honor. Dear soldiers, can you please let us go to the city to fetch some water? We can eat less on the road, but we can't live without water."

Shi Shoucheng naturally knew that the two would not give them chicken for no reason. They must have something in mind. But if they just wanted some water, it would be easy to do.

"It's easy. Once you enter the city gate, you will see where we are stationed. There is a well inside. I will have someone take you in and you can draw as much water as you want."

He stood up and wanted to call someone to take them inside to get some water, but he stood up too quickly and felt a sharp pain in his knee, causing him to sit back down with a look of pain on his face.

"Brother Shi, what's wrong with you? Is it your old illness that comes back? This illness comes back every time it rains, it's really tormenting!"

The younger man next to him immediately put down his chopsticks and reached out to help Shi Shoucheng.

"No problem, no problem. I just got up so fast. I've gotten used to it over the years. When I was on the battlefield, I could stay in a snow cave for two or three days without any problem. Now I'm old and can't do that anymore, haha..."

He rubbed his rough hands on his knees to ease the pain.
