As she was talking, Li Ruolan came back with a wooden basin in her hand. In the basin were clothes for her family. Matchmaker Liu's eyes lit up immediately. The girl in front of her was pretty and had a slim figure. She was young but already very graceful. The more Matchmaker Liu looked at her, the more satisfied she was.

"What a good girl." Then she left.

Li Xiaoxiao was a little confused, but Sun didn't care.

This small river is right next to their village. The water flows down from the mountain. Because it is flowing water, it is very clean. Usually, many villagers wash clothes and vegetables here, and some even fetch water directly to drink.

When she came, her next-door neighbor Aunt Hua was washing clothes. She was in her thirties, with a plump figure and still some charm. She was wearing a bright red floral blouse and had rouge on her face, probably too much, so her whole face was red. Her words and actions were pretentious, like a girl selling smiles in a brothel.

There is no "Hua" in her name, but she loves to chat with the men in the village and tell dirty jokes. The women in the village don't like her for fear that their men will be seduced by her one day, so someone gave her this nickname. Aunt Hua is very open-minded and she doesn't mind being called anything anyone wants and still does her own thing.

Seeing that it was Li Xiaoxiao coming over, she felt angry. Her eldest nephew from her mother's side got married yesterday and she had been out for a day. When she came back, she saw Li Xiaoxiao's thatched shed was actually built on the wall of her house. She had just had a quarrel with her husband. It was really unlucky that she bumped into it when she went out to wash clothes.

Li Xiaoxiao also saw her and knew that she was a bad person. She didn't want to talk to her, but her straw hut was built on the wall of her house, so she didn't want to say anything. So she greeted her, "Aunt Hua is here too."

Aunt Hua was feeling angry at the moment, and felt that Li Xiaoxiao owed her family something. When she saw Li Xiaoxiao taking the initiative to speak, she thought that Li Xiaoxiao was trying to please her, and she spoke in a domineering tone.

"What's in your cloth bag?" The dark blue cloth bag looked heavy, and when he looked closely there seemed to be blood stains on it, so he guessed that there should be meat inside.

Li Xiaoxiao ignored her, which really gave you face.

Aunt Hua was even more angry at Li Xiaoxiao's attitude. She threw away the clothes in her hands and said, "You little bitch, I'm talking to you, but you didn't hear me."

Not wanting to pay attention to the barking dog next to him, Li Xiaoxiao put the cloth bag by the river and simply washed his hands and face. The blood stains on his body were not very obvious and had already dried. Although it was uncomfortable, he had no other clothes to change into, so he could only wait until night to secretly go to the space to wash.

"No wonder he was kicked out of the Li family. He doesn't know the rules and the whole family is the same kind of people. He deserves it." Aunt Hua continued to nag.

"Since you want to see it so much, I'll grant your wish." Li Xiaoxiao was annoyed. They were close to each other to begin with, so he quickly stood up, picked up the cloth bag on the ground, and poured all the contents of the bag onto Aunt Hua.

Aunt Hua instinctively felt that there was meat inside. Although she was a little surprised by Li Xiaoxiao's sudden action, she still subconsciously reached out to take it and hugged it tightly.

Before she could be happy, she felt a cool and smooth touch on her hand. When she saw clearly what she was holding, it was a half snake with red spots and eyes wide open, looking at her. She howled in fear, threw it on the ground and ran away. She ran a long way before turning back and cursing, "You damn little bitch, you will die a horrible death. You scared me, you will be thrown into the oil pan and struck by lightning."

Li Xiaoxiao calmly picked up the snake body on the ground and said, "Aunt Hua, please don't wrongly accuse me. You insisted on seeing this."

Aunt Hua felt humiliated but was not willing to give in. "You little bitch, just wait for me." She carefully moved sideways, trying to stay as far away from the snake as possible. She quickly put away the half-washed clothes and ran away in shame.

Finally it was quiet, and Li Xiaoxiao continued to process the snake meat, removing the snake head, pulling out the snake skin, cleaning the internal organs, and finally cutting it into pieces. She was relieved only when she could no longer tell what the meat was. She didn't want her family to know, as most rural people are afraid of snakes, and even fewer would eat snake meat.

She decided to make a dragon and phoenix dish in the evening, which was to stew chicken and snake meat together. She hadn't eaten it for a long time and she was drooling just thinking about it.

After packing up, I washed the cloth bag before going back.

There was more than ten pounds of cleaned snake meat in a large basin. Li Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that their family would not be able to finish eating so much snake meat. Besides, there was also a pheasant. Although there was no serious pollution in ancient times, it was still quite hot in summer. So much meat could not be eaten in one night, and it would not taste good if it was pickled with salt. So she decided to leave two or three pounds and put the rest into the freezer. When she wanted to eat it, she could find an excuse to take it out.

When she got home, Sun was plucking the chicken's feathers. The chicken had been scalded in boiling water, so the feathers fell off with a slight pull.

The stove in Li Xiaoxiao's house is just to the right of Aunt Hua's front door. She can see what they are cooking as soon as she goes out. However, it is next to the main road, which is really inconvenient. Li Xiaoxiao decides to earn money as soon as possible and build a house.

Li Huawen had gone somewhere unknown, and Li Ruolan was mending clothes.

Li Xiaoxiao lit a fire and boiled water, and then blanched the chicken and snake meat in water to remove the fishy smell. He then went to his neighbor Aunt Wang's house to buy some onions, ginger and garlic.

I had the bacon fried by Li Xiaoxiao yesterday, it was delicious. Today, Sun took the initiative to give up the position of chef, and Li Xiaoxiao took over.

There is still no oil. It seems that I have to go to the county town tomorrow. There are too many things missing at home. I had to pick up a few pieces of chicken with oil, stir-fry them in the pot, then add the onion, ginger and garlic to stir-fry, and then pour everything into the pot, and secretly put in some seasonings, oyster sauce, cooking wine and soy sauce.

Soon the unique aroma of snake meat wafted from the pot. Li Xiaoxiao swallowed unconsciously, missing this taste so much.

Sun also smelled the fragrance and asked Li Xiaoxiao, "Girl, what kind of meat did your uncle Quanfu give you? Why does it smell so good?"

"Mom, it doesn't matter what kind of meat it is, as long as it tastes good." Li Xiaoxiao said perfunctorily. If her mother knew about this, she would probably not even dare to look at it, let alone eat it.

Before serving, Li Xiaoxiao added some wild vegetables. Eating too much meat would make you feel sick, so some vegetables was a good compromise.

After discussing with Sun, Li Xiaoxiao served a large bowl of food to the head of the village. Firstly, he wanted to thank him for finding a place for them, otherwise their family would not know where to live. Secondly, the head of the village was the head of the village, and their whole family would have to live in the village in the future, so they would inevitably have to deal with the head of the village. So it was necessary to get some food and establish a good relationship with him.

Li Laosi's son, Li Xiaobao, was playing with other children at the door of his house. He saw from a distance that Li Xiaoxiao was holding a bowl of meat, so he guessed that it must be for his grandmother. He was so happy that he stopped playing with his friends and ran home to tell his grandmother. His grandmother would definitely give him a few pieces of meat.

Old Mrs. Li took a nap in the afternoon. When she woke up, she yawned loudly and heard Li Xiaobao shouting outside the house. When she ran closer, she could hear clearly that it was the girl Li Xiaoxiao who came to deliver the meat.
