The Little Lucky Girl of the Hunter Family
Chapter 42 The Reasons for Superb Cooking Skills
Hearing this, Jiang Yao didn't waste any more words, as facts speak louder than words.
"Okay, I'll deal with the cicadas, and I'll leave the chestnuts to you."
"How to beat chestnuts depends on the ability of Brother Wei. If you still have strength, you can drive more. If you feel tired, you can eat tonight."
"By the way, my second aunt is coming to our house for dinner tonight. You can make more, and she can also bring some back for my second uncle to try."
"Okay." The sisters answered in unison.
When Mrs. Lu heard her daughter act like an adult, she felt warm at the same time as she felt pain in her heart.
It's all my fault that I didn't live up to my expectations and caused my daughter to suffer so much.
There was no point in thinking too much. Mrs. Lu quickly calmed down and asked her daughters to learn how to peel chestnuts from Wei Chengye. The better they did, the less the eldest daughter had to do.
Seeing that her mother and sister were full, Jiang Yao held a cicada and walked to the other end of the yard.
It can not only prevent the noise of cicadas, but also clean them up thoroughly.
Jiang Yao took out a large wooden barrel, put water and salt in it, put the cicadas in it, and carefully cut off their wings.
Then she put all the remaining monkeys into the water.
Lin Luoran yawned, stood up and walked to the side to help peel the chestnuts.
After a while, she went to the cicadas, washed them one by one, and then took them out to drain the water.
Because she was about to be fried, and if she wasn't dehydrated, her face would explode like a monkey's.
While the water was draining, Jiang Yao cleaned the large iron pot first, then put in firewood. After the pot became dry, she added a layer of cooking oil and then put all the cicadas that had been filtered out into the pot.
Suddenly, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.
That’s not all. Jiang Yao also put a handful of dried peppers in it. The spicy smell was so tempting that even the people eating in the yard couldn’t help but look towards the kitchen.
Is this smell emitted only by insects?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally swallowed their saliva.
Jiang Yao's gaze unconsciously fell on the kitchen. Seeing the shock on several people's faces, she raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.
Humph, you didn’t expect that you would be slapped in the face so soon!
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Yao picked up the monkey head and pepper together, and added the pepper powder he prepared himself, and the plate of fried cicadas was ready.
He knew that many people wanted to see what the cicada would look like after being roasted. Jiang Yao did not delay and placed a small dish in front of the two.
Even with the addition of chili peppers, it still looks somewhat hideous. If you simply smell the aroma, no one would have thought that it was actually a cicada!
After all, Mrs. Lu was used to suffering, so after hesitating for a moment, she still took a bite, picked up a piece of cicada with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
She was cautious at first, but as the aroma of the meat exploded in her mouth, she couldn't help but bite faster and picked up another piece.
"Yao'er, I didn't realize you were so talented and could actually make such delicious food! I'm so lucky to be with you!"
Hearing Mrs. Lu’s praise, the others couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Wei Chengye was a die-hard fan of Jiang Yao, and he picked up another piece of cicada and put it in his mouth.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"Delicious!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
When Old Lady Lu was eating, a group of women were already eager to eat. Now that Wei Chengye also praised her, they naturally couldn't hold back and started eating.
Then there was a burst of exclamations.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Jiang Yao handed the cicada to her second sister and opened the door.
In fact, she had long guessed that it would be her second aunt Feng who came, but she didn't expect that Feng was holding a bag of rice and flour in her hands. It seemed that each weighed about ten kilograms, enough for the family to use for a while.
"Second Aunt, I invited you here just to have a meal, why are you still holding it?" Jiang Yao stretched out a hand, put away the rice, and led Feng into the house with a smile.
However, since Second Aunt treats me sincerely, I cannot let her down. At most, I can cooperate with her in the future and make up for it in other ways.
Seeing that Jiang Yao didn't have a good look towards them, Feng's smile deepened.
"Before I even entered the courtyard, I could smell the fragrance in this room. I wonder what the young lady is preparing?"
"Monkey! Second aunt, please eat quickly!" Jiang Yue said, picked up the largest piece on the plate and walked towards Feng.
"Second Aunt, try it, it's delicious! We all ate it, and grandma praised it!"
Seeing that this thing was really terrifying and unable to bear to make the little girl sad, Feng swallowed the cicada monkey tremblingly.
At first, she was chewing slowly, but soon she found that this piece of meat was so delicious!
Seeing that Second Aunt didn't say anything, Jiang Yao returned to the kitchen, brought them a large plate of food, and started to cook chestnuts.
"It takes a little while to fry the chestnuts, so take your time eating them. Don't pay attention to me, there are more in the kitchen."
With Jiang Yao's assurance, everyone continued to eat with peace of mind.
Jiang Yao guessed that these cicada monkeys were at most appetizers, so she fried the chestnuts while making other side dishes.
When dishes such as sugar-coated chestnuts were placed on the table, everyone was stunned by the aroma.
"Yao'er, where did you learn your cooking skills? It's so amazing!" Feng, who tasted the dishes cooked by Jiang Yao for the first time, was the most shocked.
"Jiang Xuean brought me a cooking book before, and I took advantage of his absence to secretly flip through it. I don't know if it's because I have a good memory, but I remembered everything."
Jiang Yao knew that everyone would doubt where her cooking skills came from, so she used food to make money, and that was why she made such a request.
No matter what, even if Jiang Xuean was here, he couldn't refute it.
His father was drunk and it was normal for him to lose his memory. He didn't remember what he bought.
When the second aunt heard this, she praised Jiang Yao highly.
The meal ended with everyone's praise.
Jiang Yao had a very good impression of her second aunt and was thinking about how to find some work for her.
Second Aunt looked at Jiang Yao, then at Wei Chengye, and frowned.
He stood there, his face full of displeasure. His frown seemed to be able to pinch a fly to death, his eyes slightly narrowed, emitting a sharp light, as if he wanted to see through everything in front of him. His lips were tightly pursed, and the corners of his mouth turned down, forming a stiff arc, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. His gloomy face was like the sky before a storm, making people dare not approach easily. Others could clearly feel his inner irritability and dissatisfaction with just a casual glance. Perhaps he was treated unfairly, or perhaps his expectations were dashed. In short, this unhappy expression was full of his bad mood at the moment. --- I hope the above content is helpful to you.
