The few kids stopped talking, and old man Shu started nagging like a frustrated little daughter-in-law: "It's all stuff from the sea, and I can't eat any of it. Oh, why is my life so miserable?"
Old Mrs. Shu glanced at him and said, "Stop thinking about it. I'll buy a chicken and a piece of pork and prepare two meat dishes for you."
Old Man Shu grinned, "Don't go to such trouble, just stew coconut chicken. You don't need to buy pork."
Half an hour later, the family returned to Xingfu Village with their donkeys and fish, shrimp, meat and eggs.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we met Mrs. Zhang who was waiting anxiously for someone else.
"Hey, you are finally willing to come back. Your home has been robbed, and you are still hanging out!"
Mrs. Shu was stunned, "What the hell, my house has been broken into?"
"I haven't entered it yet, but the thief is already paying attention."
Mrs. Zhang angrily told the story about the old witch colluding with outsiders to steal the coconut oil prescription.
At the end, he said very righteously: "Are you going to settle the score with the old witch? If you go, count me in. The fight was not satisfying last time, so I have to win it back this time."
"We'll talk about whether to fight or not later. Let's sort this out first." Mrs. Shu tilted her head and looked at Shu Mingzhi, "Is the person who contacted the old witch sent by the Iron Rooster?"
Shu Mingzhi was unsure, "Maybe..."
He agreed to send the prescription the next time he went to the county town, but before the next time, he sent someone to climb the wall.
Do you want to be such a dog?
"So are you going to fight or not?"
Mrs. Zhang's only focus from beginning to end was this.
Mrs. Shu asked her: "Is the person who met the old witch still there?"
Mrs. Zhang pointed to the path behind the village, "He left long ago. I watched him leave with my own eyes."
Mrs. Shu: "...Everyone is gone and there is no evidence, so how can we fight?"
Yan Yan continued: "Yes, we should wait until she climbs on our wall before beating her."
Xiao Qinglong said, this is called catching a thief and taking the stolen goods, and it makes the fight more justified.
Unable to deal with the old witch with her own hands, Mrs. Zhang looked very disappointed. She sighed in disinterest and said, "Okay, you just have to figure it out. If you can't defeat her, remember to call me and I'll help."
A few words: "..."
If they can't even beat an old woman, will they survive?
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Zhang, the family was busy doing whatever they were supposed to do. Those who cleaned prawns, scraped fish scales, chopped firewood... each got busy.
Of course, security measures are still in place.
Little Black Bean and Big Heart were temporarily entrusted with important tasks. One on the left and the other on the right, patrolling outside the wall. If there was any situation, they could go home and call for help at any time.
Yan Yan and Sanqing were assigned the task of washing kelp. As soon as the little ones moved the small benches to find their own positions, the big red peach that was standing guard in the east rushed in.
Monkeys are very good at imitating. They first patted their faces, then pointed to the east wall, and then hunched over, imitating the sneaky walking posture of the old woman.
Yan Yan quickly put down her brush and went over to check the situation. As soon as she reached the wall, she looked up and happened to meet the old woman who had just climbed up the wall.
The old woman was stunned. She froze in place with her mouth open and eyes wide open.
No, she just came up, and she didn't even see the dean of the Shu family clearly, so how was she discovered?
Xiaotuanzi was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, raised the corner of her mouth, and gave her a innocent and harmless smile, "Mother-in-law, why are you climbing on my wall? Is there any treasure on my wall?"
The old woman pointed stiffly at the sunset hanging on the top of the forest with her hands and feet, and said with an awkward smile: "My mother-in-law is watching the sunset. Climb higher to see it more clearly. Don't call anyone."
Xiaotuanzi looked innocent on his face, "Oh, then, mother-in-law, please take your time and watch, I won't call anyone."
When he turned around, a trace of disgust flashed in his big, bright eyes.
Huh, watch the sunset and lie to a two-year-old child?
She decided not to deal with the old woman anymore.
Grandpa Fairy is right, hitting people won't solve the problem, she has to outwit them.
She had to think of a way to deal with the old woman and the bad guys who wanted to steal their recipe.
Xiaotuanzi returned to the water tank, scrubbing the kelp while thinking about ways to teach others.
In the end, she came up with a simple and relieving idea.
Don't those people want prescriptions? Then she should take the initiative to give them away.
As for whether the prescription given out is a real prescription or a fake prescription, it depends on her mood.
Yan Yan ran into the kitchen and told Mrs. Shu her idea. Mrs. Shu agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Anyway, the person has already been offended, so it’s not bad. It’s better to follow your own heart. At least you won’t feel aggrieved.
Thinking of the stingy Rooster holding his money bag and crying bitterly, Xiaotuanzi couldn't help but feel excited, "Then let's start now. Move the pot to the middle of the yard so that she can see it more clearly."
Mrs. Shu bang bang chopped the chicken and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if she likes to climb the wall, just let her stay on the wall for a while. Let's eat first.
Go and see if your second uncle has peeled the bamboo sticks. After peeling, take them to the courtyard to skewer the squid and croaker, and grandma will get you some pieces of chicken to roast."
Food comes first, everything else is on the sidelines.
Driven by greed, Yan Yan temporarily forgot about cleaning up the old woman and concentrated on playing with her barbecue.
The charcoal blocks I bought just before I escaped were not used up, so I turned them out and ignited them. I put the iron mesh I just bought at the dock up. After cleaning the big squid, I didn't even have to cut it into pieces. I just skewered the whole thing and grilled it.
After the water on the surface of the squid has dried up, use a knife to score a slit in the middle. The light brown outer skin will burst open, revealing the inner layer of snow-white squid meat, which looks like gelatin and looks particularly attractive.
Then make a few more horizontal cuts to make the squid lie completely flat. At this time, take out the barbecue dipping sauce made from dogwood spicy oil, pepper powder, cumin powder, etc. and apply it on it, and the aroma will burst out.
"Wow, it smells so good, I really want to take a bite!" Qingbai was smitten on the spot, and drool dripped from the corner of his mouth to his chin.
Xiaotuanzi also kept wiping his saliva, "Suck it, this squid is not cooked yet, you have to wait for a while, suck it."
Not to mention the little ones, even Shu Mingyi, who is responsible for applying the sauce, is secretly wiping his saliva. Damn it, this stuff is so fragrant!
The most unlucky one was the old woman. She happened to be lying in the wind. The smell of grilled squid penetrated her nostrils with the strong wind. There was the smell of charcoal barbecue and the spicy and delicious flavor of barbecue sauce. The two flavors were mixed together, not to mention too much.
Too domineering.
The old woman's soul seemed to float to the sky with the fragrance. Oh, it's so beautiful!
Soon the two big squids were cooked. Shu Mingyi put the grilled squids on the plate and tore them into pieces for everyone to share.
Qingbai couldn't wait to pinch a piece and stuff it into his mouth. The freshly grilled squid tasted particularly good, and it was chewy and smooth.
Not to mention the taste, the tender squid juice mixed with the spicy sauce explodes between your lips and tongue, and the aroma is so delicious that you will be confused.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
Qingbai narrowed his eyes happily and was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
