Chapter 141 Fourth brother is stupid
The fruit Qi Lele has eaten several times and it feels like the spring water in her space.
It was soft, with a hint of sweetness in the light, and nothing special, so she felt relieved to add one quarter, but she didn't expect that it would be eaten by Su Yaxian.
Qi Lele didn't want to deceive Su Yaxian, but for a moment he couldn't think of how to get over it, so he could only lower his head and pretend to look at his purse.
Fortunately, Su Yaxian seemed to just mention it casually, and soon said: "In another half a month, it will be Qingming Festival. Your father and I will go out for a long trip."
Qi Lele was shocked: "How long will it take?"
"At least twenty years, and at most one month."
The transportation here is inconvenient, and everyone depends on carriages when going out. Time is based on months. Qi Lele couldn't help but worry: "My mother has a bad body, can she stand the long journey?"
Su Yaxian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not far this time, just walk slowly."
After hearing this, Qi Lele didn't say much, just asked: "When will mom leave?"
"In two days, I'll send Zizhuo to Mr. Tang's mansion."
It was only three or four days. Qi Lele thought about how she could get more food in the past few days, so that Su Yaxian could eat enough of a fruit.
Su Yaxian slowly finished eating her double-skin milk, took a small box and pushed it in front of Qi Lele: "You can take this."
Qi Lele subconsciously leaned back. Her mother-in-law, no matter how she took action, she was not a common item. This time she specially used a box to pack it. The things in it were definitely not cheap! You must not ask for it!
Su Yaxian was amused by her cautious look, and opened the box and dotted the silver notes inside: "This is some of my mother's private rooms, you can take it."
Qi Lele waved his hands repeatedly: "Mom, I still have a lot of money here! If you give it to me, I won't be able to use it. Besides, with so many silver notes in my hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."
Su Yaxian laughed: "Silly girl, how can you think there is too much money?"
Qi Lele turned his hands back and said, "I can't ask for it anyway!"
"You are the mistress of the family, and it is not a bad thing to keep more silver in your hands." Su Yaxian said softly: "Besides, aren't you still thinking about doing business? How can you do it without capital?"
Qi Lele said: "I have money, really!"
"I gave Zi'an's silver notes. How many of them are there in your hands? I can't tell you?"
Seeing that Qi Lele was still unmoved, Su Yaxian pushed the wooden box forward and deliberately raised her face: "The elders give it, you must not refuse."
Qi Lele was eventually defeated.
Su Yaxian patted her hand: "Don't worry, I have so many private rooms!"
What else can Qi Lele say?
When she returned to the kitchen, the snake meat had been processed. She suppressed her thoughts and boiled the meat.
Wait until the snake meat is 90% cooked, take it out and peel it into shredded meat, remove the bones, stir-fry it with lard, then add some rice wine and stir-fry it, put it into a clay pot, pour in some snake soup, and other seasonings such as onion and ginger, and simmer over medium heat.
The pork ribs and chicken soup that had been stewed before had already smelled fresh and fragrant. Qi Lele took out the chicken stand, tore some shredded chicken, wrapped the shredded chicken with egg white and starch, passed it through the hot oil, and left for later use.
As for the chicken skeleton, throw it back into the ribs and chicken soup with snake bones and snake soup, continue to stew and boil it out of the broth.
After half an hour, remove the snake meat from the clay pot, add the prepared chicken, mushroom shredded mushrooms, fish glue, and fungus to the boiled broth, and add some seasonings.
When the last process arrived, Qi Lele's eyes turned: "I'm going to get some glutinous rice flour and prepare to make glutinous rice glutinous rice."
Xie Zian responded, turned around and searched in the cabinet.
Seeing this, Qi Lele decisively took out the remaining three-quarters of the fruit from the space, cut it into several pieces and threw it into the snake soup.
Xie Zi'an's ears moved, and after a while, he carried a bag of glutinous rice flour and said, "Finished."
Qi Lele ignored the snake soup and turned to deal with glutinous rice flour. Xie Zi'an patiently helped her.
Not far outside the kitchen, several figures gathered together.
"My sister-in-law needs to prepare so many delicious foods alone. Can you get through it? Why don't we go and help my sister-in-law?"
Xie Sixian said, raising her nose, smelling the fragrance coming from the air, and said pitifully: "I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry, but my brother won't want us to go."
Xie Ziwen couldn't help but sigh: "Who isn't hungry? My elder brother didn't go into the kitchen before, so why has he changed his temper recently?"
"When my sister-in-law is not in the kitchen, my brother won't go in either."
Only Xie Zizhuo said sternly: "We just ate a bowl of double-skin milk made by our sister-in-law, so we should not be hungry."
Xie Ziyan slapped his shoulder with one hand: "To be honest, do you want to eat Aiji?"
Xie Zizhuo pursed his lips and finally nodded: "I want to."
"That's all! My sister-in-law is making pilaf inside now!"
"that is!"
Xie Zizhuo said: "Since my sister-in-law is already making it, can we eat it if we wait?"
Xie Ziyan: "..."
He always felt that his fourth brother was stupid in studying! He didn't know how to adapt at all!
In the kitchen.
"Just just now, my mother told me that she and my father would go on a long trip in a few days."
Xie Zi'an said: "Dad mentioned it to me this morning. I planned to tell you again in the evening."
Qi Lele said a little distressedly: "Mom gave me a box of silver notes."
"Since it was given by my mother, I just need to take it away."
Qi Lele looked up and glared at Xie Zi'an.
Xie Zian knew her thoughts and smiled and said, "When we have children in the future, you will understand your mother's wishes."
But after all, they are not Su Yaxian's relatives' children!
Qi Lele has never felt the love from her parents. Even if she saw some happy past in Si Ya's memory, it seemed like a layer of gauze that could not empathize with her, and she could not accept Su Yaxian's care without reason and straightforwardness.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Xie Zian raised his hand and scraped the tip of her nose. He was about to speak, but suddenly turned his head and looked out the door.
After finally convinced Xie Zizhuo, the few of them mustered up the courage to hit the kitchen door, but after seeing their elder brother's actions, they all stood there in a daze.
