Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 24: She is my mother, not my mother-in-law
Everyone is curious about what it will look like and taste like when squeezed out.
So, the Qiao family members squeezed into a small kitchen.
It was only one pound, but the Han family was willing to pay two taels of silver. Jianer said that it only cost one tael, but they generously gave two taels and also gave so much oil, which showed that they were very satisfied.
Mrs. Lu put a spoonful of oil into the pot and prepared to put the mushrooms in.
"Aunt San, that's not enough." Qiao Jianer said, "In this case, we need to squeeze it several times, which will take a long time. Put more oil in, and squeeze it twice."
Moreover, the little amount Lu put in was only enough to stir-fry a small part of it. Stir-frying is stir-frying, and squeezing is squeezing, which are completely different.
"How much should I bet?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Qiao Jianer took the oil spoon from her hand and poured large spoonfuls of oil into the oil pan without hesitation.
The Qiao family members opened their eyes wide and felt a pang of pain in their hearts.
They couldn't afford oil before, but now they have to spend so lavishly that they feel like they can't breathe smoothly.
"Sickle, how about you put in less?" Old Mrs. Qiao's voice was trembling.
"Don't worry, the oil from pressing mushrooms is very fragrant when used for cooking, and it won't be wasted. Besides, the pressed chicken mushrooms should be placed in a jar and soaked in oil so that they can be preserved for a long time. This oil was given to us by someone to press mushrooms, and it's good enough that we can keep most of it to eat. We have to do a good job for them."
While Qiao Jianer was speaking, he added three more spoonfuls.
After hearing what she said, the Qiao family realized that, yes, the oil was a gift from someone else, just to squeeze out mushrooms that satisfied them. They also received a lot of benefits and had to accept money from them.
And with silver, they have money to buy oil.
"Then do whatever is convenient for you." said Old Mrs. Qiao.
Most of the pot was filled with oil. When the oil temperature was about right, Boss Qiao poured half of a large basin of chicken mushrooms into it.
Qiao Zhizhi sat in front of the stove, blowing the fire with a bamboo tube. She had a round face, and her cheeks were bulging like a squirrel.
Sizzling, the chicken mushrooms are being squeezed in the pot, and the oil bubbles are gurgling.
It gradually became softer, smaller, and then turned brown, and the brown color became darker and darker.
An extremely tempting aroma wafted through the kitchen, and it became even more intense after adding salt.
Qiao Lianer scooped up a large spoonful with a colander, poured it into a small basin, and then placed the small basin on the table at the side.
"Everyone try it."
The Qiao family members held their chopsticks, impatient but not fighting or scrambling, and took their turn one by one.
"Hmm, it smells so good." Old man Qiao's eyes, which had been narrowed over the years, suddenly widened.
"The leaves are soft and fragrant, and the stems are strong."
The other members of the Qiao family were also amazed.
Unexpectedly, it turns out to be a unique delicacy.
There is simply nothing that can replace it.
In a short while, everyone had eaten up all the chicken mushrooms in the small basin, and they were smacking their lips, still feeling unsatisfied.
Qiao Jianer scooped another big spoonful.
"If you don't eat the sickle, you can sell the rest. The mountain is full of these things, and you can eat as much as you want in the future." said Old Mrs. Qiao.
All things are difficult at the beginning. I have just started to earn some money, so I have to be frugal.
Everyone waved their hands and said they didn't want to eat anymore, even though they were staring at the pot with envy.
In order to avoid being tempted by the squeezed chicken mushrooms, all the Qiao family members left the kitchen, leaving only a few to work inside.
Of course, everyone was not idle either. Some were making furniture, and some were repairing the pig pens and chicken coops.
When I have enough money, I can buy a pig and raise it, then kill a big fat pig and eat it during the New Year.
Qiao Jianer put the fried mushrooms into jars. Jars were one of the main storage utensils used by the ancients. The ancients also liked to pickle things, so although this family was poor, they had no shortage of jars of all sizes.
Ten pounds of fried food was put into a medium-sized jar, and the oil from the pot was scooped into it to soak it.
There was chicken mushroom in the jar, and not much oil was used before the oil reached the bottle mouth.
In this way, there is still most of the oil left in the pot, which can be used for household use.
Old Mrs. Qiao calculated this deal in her mind and felt that it was a particularly good deal. Smelling the aroma of cooking oil in the kitchen, she felt as if her nose was being transformed.
Over the years, Old Mrs. Qiao has had a wish in her heart, which is to have enough oil, or even endless oil. As long as there is oil, the vegetables in the fields and the wild vegetables in the mountains will taste much more fragrant, and her stomach will also be lubricated.
When the girl Jian'er came to the Qiao family, this wish began to come true.
Old Mrs. Qiao felt her eyes a little wet.
After finishing their work, everyone went into the room to sleep with great anticipation, but they all tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. What was going on?
Early tomorrow morning, this family will have several more taels of silver.
This is not the result of hard hunting, but a great bargain picked up in the mountains, safe and risk-free.
No matter how you think about it, it's a profit.
Qiao Lian'er entered the room and saw Qiao Yunni sitting by the bed, looking at her daughter with a mother's tenderness in her eyes.
She had been kicked out of her husband's house and brought her daughter back with her. She felt uneasy, after all, there were two more mouths to feed. The Qiao family was poor and they could not rely on the fields, so they could only pin their hopes on hunting. However, throughout the year, she could not catch any significant prey more than twice.
So even though she had a limp, she still helped with the work, just to avoid being looked down upon by her family.
She didn't expect her daughter to be so capable. As soon as she arrived at the Qiao family, she earned money for them.
In this way, they can feel at ease staying here.
She even suspected that her daughter came to save her.
Qiao Jianer took out the ointment from under the pillow and was busy since he got home, and almost forgot about it.
"Mother, this is the plaster I bought for you in town. After three applications, you should be almost healed. I can earn money now, so mother, please take good care of you and don't overwork yourself, otherwise this medicine will be wasted."
Qiao Jianer said this as she applied the plaster to Qiao Yunni.
The cool feeling when it was applied miraculously relieved the pain.
Qiao Yunni was a little surprised: "How much is this plaster?"
"It cost six hundred coins in total, and the boss took ten coins off my account."
"What, so expensive?"
Qiao Yunni was shocked.
He immediately tried to remove the plasters from his legs and feet: "No, no, you have to return them tomorrow and return them to the boss. With the situation at home, how can I face the Qiao family if I have to pay 200 coins for a single plaster?"
Qiao Jian'er quickly held her hand. She looked at Qiao Yunni and said, "Mom, you have to believe me. I can earn a lot of money for this family. I hope Mom's legs and feet get better soon so that the Qiao family can rest assured. I've already told Grandma about this. Grandma said that if you don't feel better after using the three prescriptions, I'll buy you more."
"But..." Qiao Yunni still hesitated. She really felt it was too expensive.
Qiao Jianer patted the back of Qiao Yunni's hand again: "Grandma is my mother, not my mother-in-law."
This sentence made Qiao Yunni's heart flicker and she was moved.
Yes, mother, mother always wishes her well, doesn’t want her to suffer at all, and even less wants her to endure any pain.
When Old Mrs. Qiao passed by the mother and daughter's room and heard their conversation, her nose felt sore and she couldn't help but press the corner of her eyes.
After comforting Qiao Yunni, Qiao Jianer walked out and just saw Old Lady Qiao entering the main hall, so she followed her in.
