Chapter 12 Sending Rabbit Meat
Are there no salted duck eggs at this time? Li Mingxia recalled that indeed, the original owner did not have this thing in his memory. If he made good use of it, maybe this salted duck egg could also make him a fortune!
A rabbit was divided into two halves. Li Mingxia secretly added chili peppers to one half to make spicy rabbit meat, and the other half was braised. This was to make it easier to send it to the homes of the two grandmothers, Zhao Lingling and Huaihua Cuihua. After all, no one in this village eats chili peppers. He could explain it however he wanted to his family members, but it would be a different story for outsiders. It would be a hassle to explain the taste issue at that time. Not to mention that the braised rabbit meat tasted very good, it was a rare delicacy in Qianniu Village and it would definitely not be disrespectful.
All the spicy rabbit meat was left behind, and Li Mingxia served a small bowl of braised rabbit meat to the three little kids for a change of taste. The rest was evenly divided into three portions by her, and she covered them with a piece of cloth and placed them in a basket.
"Mom, let's go." Li Mingxia called Zhang and went out with his things.
Grandma Huaihua and Grandma Cuihua were neighbors, and their houses were separated by a wall. Li Mingxia and Zhang went to Grandma Cuihua's house first. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the two old ladies and their daughters-in-law sitting together sewing shoe soles. As soon as they saw Li Mingxia and Zhang enter the room, the daughters-in-law quickly got up to greet them.
"Sanlang's wife, Xia Jie'er? How come you two have time to come out for a stroll today? Come, sit here. Eldest wife, take out the melon seeds." Grandma Cuihua patted the kang and said enthusiastically with a smile on her face.
Zhang waved her hand quickly, "Sister-in-law, please stop busying yourself. Xia Jie'er and I came here today for something. The children are still at home. We have to go back after a few words."
When Grandma Cuihua and Grandma Huaihua heard Zhang say something was wrong, they looked at each other. Before they could say anything, Grandma Cuihua's second daughter-in-law Chu said hurriedly: "The food hasn't come down yet, and no one has any surplus food!"
This is because Zhang and Li Mingxia came to borrow food from their family!
"Second son's wife! Shut up!"
Zhang's expression was a little awkward, and she paused for a moment. Li Mingxia kept her smile on her face, and she didn't even look at her. She stepped forward and put the basket in her hand on the kang.
Chu had just been reprimanded by Grandma Cuihua, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just curled her lips and thought to herself, what else can I say? Isn't this basket just for food? I don't know how much I will have to borrow later!
"Child, if you..."
"Grandma Cuihua, we were lucky today when we went up the mountain. We caught a rabbit. I don't know how it will taste after it's cooked. My mother said that Grandma Huaihua and Grandma Cuihua have always been thinking about us. So I sent it to the two grandmas to try. Grandma Huaihua is here too, so my mother and I don't have to run over there again."
There were three large bowls in the basket, and the steaming rabbit meat exuded an enticing aroma. Everyone in the room couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Chu's eyes widened in disbelief. What? They weren't here to borrow food? But she had clearly heard from the sisters-in-law Jin and Hua that Zhang was about to starve to death with her four children, so she thought that Zhang was here with Li Mingxia to borrow food.
When Grandma Huaihua and Grandma Cuihua saw the two large bowls of meat on the kang, they hurriedly said, "No, take this meat back home quickly. It's not the New Year or any other festival. How can we take away such good food from your family? No, no, Sanlang's wife, take this meat back and feed it to the children!"
Li Mingxia didn't even give them a chance to be polite. He put down the two bowls of meat, said goodbye, and left with Zhang.
"I'll have to trouble grandma to send someone to bring the bowl back then. We're leaving first!"
Grandma Cuihua and Grandma Huaihua looked at the two large bowls of meat on the kang. These were two real bowls of meat, without potatoes or radishes to make up the number. There were at least a dozen big pieces of meat, with attractive color and fragrant aroma.
"I never realized that Sister Xia is such a capable girl. Look at the meat and listen to the words she said, it makes me feel happy." Grandma Huaihua was very satisfied with the portion of the bowl of meat. It was indeed almost time for dinner, so after chatting for a few words, she took the bowl of meat and went back home.
Grandma Cuihua's eldest daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she saw the bowl of meat. She thought about how her three half-grown sons hadn't eaten meat for a long time. But this meat was sent by Li Mingxia to her mother-in-law. How could she say it? "Mom..."
"Old man, go to the field and dig up some potatoes, and stew them with the meat. It's so greasy, let's have some meat tonight!" Grandma Cuihua waved her hand. She had gotten these things with great difficulty, how could she eat them all herself and not leave any for her son and grandson?
Chu was also happy when she heard this. The rabbit meat smelled so good, who wouldn't want to have a bite? She quickly approached and flattered him, thinking that she could have a bite of meat later.
"Mom, let me help my sister-in-law take the meat to the kitchen. I'll dig up the potatoes and cut them later! I'm the best at cutting meat in our family!" Chu smiled and stretched out her hand to take the bowl of meat, but was slapped away by Grandma Cuihua.
"Eldest wife, take this bowl of meat to the kitchen. Second wife, didn't you say that Sister Xia came to borrow food? You didn't even say a nice word to her. Don't eat anything she sent you. Don't even think about eating the potato cubes and soup in this bowl of rabbit meat tonight!" Grandma Cuihua glanced at Chu and said unhappily.
"mother!"
"Shut up! Whatever I say is what it is. Who is in charge of this family, you or me? I've told you so many times not to talk nonsense. Did you listen to me? I'll teach you a lesson today!" Grandma Cuihua had a hot temper and didn't have the patience to listen to Chu's nagging, so she just drove her out.
Compared to the chaos here, Zhao Lingling's home was warm and cozy. After accepting the bowl of rabbit meat, Zhao Lingling filled half a basket of dried red dates for Li Mingxia.
"It's not worth much. Let's visit each other often in the future. Sister-in-law Li San, I know what kind of person you are. My mother-in-law often tells me to get to know you more. This little bit of dried red dates is not worth a piece of rabbit meat. Why are you being so polite to me?" Zhao Lingling's tone was gentle, completely devoid of the sharpness she had when she confronted Jin that day. She took Li Mingxia's hand and smiled: "Auntie and you get along well. If you have nothing to do, bring your brother and sister over. We have many children at home and we can play together."
