The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 14: Settling Down

Liu Qingcheng sent Tang Peipei and her sister out of the city and went back. Zeng Xiuyuan's coachman took them back to Tangjia Village.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Tang Peipei did not let the driver enter the village, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

The driver helped to take the things off the car. Tang Peipei thanked him and Tang Yan helped to take them home.

"Sister, sit down and rest for a while." Tang Peipei put things in place and brought out a stool for Tang Yan.

"Well, Peipei, the weather is getting cold. You should renovate your house, otherwise it will be too cold in winter." Tang Yan felt a little sad as she looked at the dilapidated house.

Back then, Tang Peipei was the envy of everyone of their generation because she had a father who had received some education, and Tang Peipei also knew quite a few words.

Therefore, Tang Peipei's father is the person with the most say in the village except for the village chief, and even the older generation of uncles will listen to his opinions.

Tang Peipei used to be so prosperous, but now seeing that even the house she lives in is so shabby, Tang Yan was so disappointed that she didn't know whether she should comfort Tang Peipei.

Today, she saw that Tang Peipei was very familiar with that Brother Zeng. And according to her observation as a person with experience, Brother Zeng must be interested in Peipei, otherwise he would not have invited Peipei to dinner and sent her home even though he knew Peipei had a child.

Tang Yan nodded in her heart, confirming her own thoughts, and she no longer felt the gap in her heart.

Tang Peipei didn't know about Tang Yan's wild imagination, and just sighed, "Yes, but I don't have much money now. I don't know if I can repair this house before winter comes!"

Tang Yan was in a dilemma when she heard Tang Peipei say this, but she changed her mind and thought, isn't Tang Peipei working for that brother Zeng? That brother Zeng likes Peipei and will definitely help her.

Thinking of this, he put aside his worries, said goodbye, and went home.

Tang Peipei first washed the big bones, put them in the pot on the stove, and added water.

I washed the lard, cut it into small pieces, and burned fire to refine the oil. Fortunately, I knew all these things in my previous life, so I could do it with ease.

Turn on low heat on the stove, dry the pot, then pour the lard into the pot, slowly increase the heat, and stir-fry slowly.

After a while, the aroma of oil wafted out. Tang Peipei looked satisfied as he smelled the oil.

No matter what, she has settled down here now, and what she needs to do next is to run Zeng Xiuyuan's store well.

As days get better and better, life will become more and more hopeful.

Tang Peipei was looking forward to the future, and the more he thought about it, the more motivated he became.

After the oil is ready, Tang Peipei pours the oil into a ceramic jar, drains out the oil residue, and wraps it in the prepared flour paste.

Pour oil into the pan, put the oil residues coated with flour paste into the pan one by one, fry until they float, remove from the pan and let cool.

By the time the kitchen is cleaned up, the temperature of the shredded meat is just right.

Tang Peipei took out two bowls, filled them with shredded meat, put them in a basket, and carried them to Aunt Du and Grandma Qi.

"Aunt Du, Gou Zi, are you home?" Tang Peipei's home was very close to Aunt Du's, and it was only a two-step walk away, so she sent him to Aunt Du's home first.

After a while, footsteps were heard. It was Gouzi who came to open the gate.

"Sister Peipei, you're back from town!" Gouzi happily opened the gate a little to let Tang Peipei in.

Tang Peipei took out a bowl of shredded meat from the basket and handed it to Gouzi.

"Gouzi, this is the shredded meat that I gave to your family. It's very fragrant. Take it back and eat it with your parents."

Gouzi took the bowl and sniffed it, "Sister, it smells so good!"

"If you like it, I'll make it and bring it to you next time." She waved to Gouzi and said, "I still have to go deliver a bowl to Grandma Qi, so I won't go in. You can bring it in quickly." After saying that, she walked towards Grandma Qi's house.

Gou Zi closed the gate and ran quickly to the room where Aunt Du was, holding the bowl.

Aunt Du was about to go to the kitchen to cook. When she saw Gouzi holding a bowl of food, she asked, "Gouzi, what are you holding?"

"This is what Sister Peipei just brought over. She said it's called loose meat." Gouzi had already been craving for it after smelling the aroma.

"Loose meat? There is meat here? How dare you take it?" As he said that, he was about to pinch the dog's ear.

Gouzi dodged and said, "My sister said that it was not only given to our family, but also to Grandma Qi's family." Gouzi saw that Aunt Du did not catch him, and smiled at Aunt Du, "Mom, look, this smells so good, let's accept it."

When Aunt Du heard Gou Zi say that he would send more than just her house, she didn't say anything more and just nodded.

Seeing that Aunt Du agreed, Gou Zi took one and put it in Aunt Du's mouth, then quickly ate one himself with a look of satisfaction.

When Tang Peipei arrived at Grandma Qi's house, Grandma Qi was cooking.

Grandma Qi hadn't seen Tang Peipei for more than a month. When she saw her now, she nodded with satisfaction and looked pretty good.

"I heard that you hunted a fox the other day?" She had heard a lot of gossip in the past few days, and now that she had met the real owner, she had to ask.

"I didn't hunt it. I just found it by luck." Tang Peipei smiled and handed the loose meat in his hand to Grandma Qi.

"What is this?" In fact, shredded meat was found in rich families, but ordinary people's homes had never made such food.

"This is called loose meat, made of flour wrapped in oil residue. Try it."

"Take it home and eat it yourself. My teeth can't chew it now."

"You can put this in the noodles when you cook them, or you can cook it with vegetables and eat it together. It's not that good, it just adds flavor."

Grandma Qi nodded, took the bowl of shredded meat, invited Tang Peipei to have dinner, and chatted with her about recent events.
