Su Deyan was listening outside the door with his hands behind his back. The door creaked open. Su Liulang was stunned when he saw Su Deyan.
Su Deyan was even more embarrassed than Su Liulang, and smiled sheepishly: "Liu Lang, I heard the sound of reading, and thought of your father, and I was fascinated for a moment."
"Uncle, come in quickly." Su Liulang quickly asked Su Deyan to come in.
Su Deyan had something on his mind, so he didn't refuse. It wasn't because he wanted a bite for his grandson, but because he wanted all the children of the Su family to study. The Su family's own people, who were not born in the fifth level, accounted for two-thirds of the Su family village.
, poor people are poor, but big families are real.
To be honest, Su Deyan and the late Su Xiucai were the same great-grandfather's siblings.
However, ever since Su Xiucai left, the Su family has really failed to live up to expectations. People secretly looked down upon them in their conduct and deeds. As time went by, they no longer had much contact with other members of the family.
Even Su Sanlang was admitted as a scholar, but Su Sanlang's temperament was like a stone in a latrine, smelly, hard, and difficult to get along with.
"Mom, third uncle is here." Su Liulang walked in and said to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then realized that this third uncle was the village chief Su Deyan. Thanks to Su Deyan for protecting his family last time, so many people from the Tang family came and didn't do anything to the Su family. This kindness was earned.
After getting up and coming out, Chen Yu asked Su Deyan to sit down. Chen Yu then asked, "His third uncle, is something wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I just heard Sanlang giving enlightenment to the children outside the door?" Su Deyan got straight to the point.
Chen Yu smiled: "Sanlang can't just study all the time. There are many children at home, and Fu Niang and the others also want to know some words. What's wrong? Can't this be enlightened in private?"
Why do you ask this? Because Chen Yu doesn't know the rules of this world.
Su Deyan shook his head: "It's not that we can't be enlightened in private, sister-in-law, we have to drive a single sheep and herd a group of sheep. Sanlang really has the patience to open a private school to educate all the children of our old Su family, okay?"
Before Chen Yu could say anything, Su Sanlang came in with a smile on his face: "Third uncle, okay, as long as the family can trust me."
"What can't be trusted? We are serious scholars!" Su Deyan is in such a good mood. For the Su family, studying is very important. As the village chief, Su Deyan sees further than ordinary people.
Chen Yu asked Su Sanlang to accompany Su Deyan, and then he got up and went out to the kitchen.
Yun Niang only needed a piece of wild vegetable and egg drop soup to survive. She turned around and saw Chen Yu: "Mom, what do you want to eat? My daughter will cook it for you."
Nowadays, the Su family's kitchen is too rich, with rabbit meat soaked in the bucket, live fish in the wooden basin, and fresh snails under the basin.
Chen Yu rolled up her sleeves: "Mom will teach you how to make spicy rabbit meat."
Zheng Yue'e, who was lighting the fire next to her, smiled: "My mother is going to show off her skills. Mother, I heard that the third uncle is here."
"It's a good thing to ask the third child to start a private school. You go and set the table, and let the sixth child get the wine." Chen Yu told Zheng Yue'e. He fished out the rabbit meat and cut it into cubes with a knife. There was still a little bit of dry meat in the seasoning jar next to it.
Once the main seasonings are chili peppers and a little peppercorns, there won't be any big problems with this dish.
"Mom, why didn't I know there was this thing called chili pepper in the mountains?" Su Yunniang realized the benefits of chili pepper. She didn't need to use too much when cooking. Just fry a few dried chili peppers in a pan and the taste of the dishes would be completely different.
Hey, I have a lot of kids at home and the taste can't be too spicy, so I use less.
Chen Yu put the rabbit meat into the boiling water and said casually: "How many times have you been to the mountains? Besides, these things are everywhere. I saw several of them behind our house."
The corner of Su Yunniang's mouth twitched: "Mom, I haven't gone into the mountains a few times. There are many hunters in our village, and they haven't seen them either?"
"Can you recognize some rough guys when you see them?" Chen Yu glanced at Su Yunniang: "The only thing that's new about this thing is spicy! Do they think it's a good thing?"
Su Yunniang was persuaded. If it hadn't been dark outside, she would have dragged Chen Yu to get to know the pepper seedlings.
Blanch the rabbit meat and take it out. There is hot oil in the pot. Stir-fry the chopped green onion, horseradish, dried chili pepper and then add the rabbit meat. There is no soy sauce, so Chen Yu also put some sugar in advance and stir-fry it until brown. Stir well and pour in the water.
.
Su Yunniang thought that it was over, but she saw that Chen Yu had taken out the rabbit meat again, and asked uneasily: "Mom, is it cooked?"
"No." Chen Yu took out the starch and wrapped the rabbit meat, then fried it until golden brown. When he took it out and drained the oil, Su Yunniang's eyes grew. How much oil should be used for this dish?
Who can afford it?
After enduring it and losing it, Su Yunniang asked: "Mom, are you ready?"
"Yunniang, you want to learn a craft. If you don't follow the steps carefully, why are you asking if you're familiar with it?" Chen Yu's hands were not idle. After saying this, Su Yunniang obediently went to light the fire.
The chili peppers are fried until they are clean, leaving only the oil. Saute the chopped green onions and add the rabbit meat. After all the seasonings are prepared, add the peppercorns and stir-fry. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and it's done.
After the dish was ready, Su Liulang came back with a drink.
Zheng Yue'e set up a special table to entertain guests. Chen Yu was in the back room with his wife and children. In the outer room, Su Deyan couldn't move his legs. He even understood why his grandson was crying like that. The smell was so delicious.
Su Erlang took his brothers to accompany Su Deyan, and naturally they also talked about the private school. Su Erlang was really happy. The third brother seemed to be more flexible, and his whole demeanor changed. Opening a private school can also supplement the family income.
Not to mention, if the family eats well, fuel is really expensive.
After drinking for three rounds, Su Deyan was not a good drinker, so he felt a little dizzy. He put a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth and said twice: "It's really delicious. No wonder the guy who was doing it made a fuss when he came home."
I’m coming to my second grandma’s house for dinner.”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Chen Yu asked Zheng Yue'e to put several dishes on plates and send them to Su Deyan's house in food boxes, and send more rabbit meat.
Zheng Yue'e went to do it immediately.
"Mom, our family is so miserable and difficult, but these people are just watching the fun with their feet up." Fu Niang muttered in a low voice with great resentment.
Chen Yu said in a deep voice: "Now and then, there will be many places where people will be needed in the future, so I can't say this anymore."
The corners of Su Funiang's mouth curled up unwillingly. She didn't believe that she could use others. She had learned medical skills and it was only for others to ask for them. However, she was not a stubborn person. The third brother opened a private school, which really needed it.
Su Deyan helped.
That night, when Su Deyan returned home, Ms. Zhao was wiping her tears. Next to her, Mrs. Qu was kneeling on the ground with her eyes red from crying. Su Zhengqian was holding up the cane with tears on his face.
"What is this for?" Su Deyan looked at Zhao suspiciously.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Deyan, and before she could say anything, Su Zhengqian knelt and crawled in front of Su Deyan, holding up the cane: "Master, it is my grandson who is shameless. I have made you lose face. My grandson will no longer be greedy. He will never be greedy again."
No, just get back to work."
Su Deyan hugged Su Zhengqian and stood up: "Get up, why are you kneeling? What's going on?"
Mrs. Zhao brought the food box over: "Second sister-in-law sent it here, I...I..."
Su Deyan was also stunned. He thought carefully and patted his thigh: "Oh, I let it slip."
