Liang Xiaonan called someone and continued to pack the things he brought down from the mountain.
Her reputation has not yet improved, and she has no interest in the matchmakers who come to propose marriages to her. Those who can propose marriages to her are either disabled or old bachelors, and they are all from poor households anyway.
She has no interest in finding a partner.
"Hula la", she quickly washed the snails in the bucket, threw a shovel into the basin, and raised them.
Then I brushed the crab clean with a brush and tied two large pincers with thin thread to prevent it from running away.
"Grandma, yesterday's snails have been spit out. Shall I fry a pot of snails today?"
"Okay, you go ahead and I'll talk to your aunt for a while."
Grandma Liang really wanted to ask Sister Hu to see that her granddaughter was not only good-looking, but also very capable and could find a good matchmaker.
Sister Hu watched Liang Xiaonan handling crabs and snails neatly, and asked her: "Xiaonan, did you catch the pheasants in the yard?"
"No, I found some wild peaches in the mountains and exchanged them for them."
Grandma Liang immediately said: "18 peaches for 5 chickens and 2 rabbits."
"Oh my god, this kid is really good at making a living."
Using a dozen picked wild peaches in exchange for 5 pheasants and 2 rabbits is really not an ordinary move.
Liang Xiaonan was packing up the snails. Over there, Sister Hu told Grandma Liang: "Xiaonan is beautiful, smart, capable, and filial. I have traveled all over the country for so many years, and I can still tell people right. He is a good boy."
Grandma Liang cried after hearing this: "Her aunt, you have said something fair. You know many things. If I didn't feel that the children were too pitiful, I would not have separated them and lived alone."
"Is it you who wants to divide the family?"
"I want to divide the family." Grandma Liang took all the responsibility of dividing the family on herself. "No matter what the outside world says, I know that my grandchildren are all honest children."
Sister Hu smiled knowingly and said: "Look, there are so many lies spread, the white ones turn into black ones, the dead ones become alive, people have two skins on their mouths, and their speech moves from one end to another. I have heard a lot of rumors before, and it turns out that
Miss such a good child."
As a general rule, matchmakers do not cross towns and do not interfere with other matchmakers' territory. Sister Hu is from Nanfeng Town, and there is already a Mrs. Zhao in Xiaoyun Town, so she does not interfere much with the affairs here, but for the unmarried men and women here,
I probably have an account in mind.
The matchmaker has a clever tongue, which is what they rely on for their livelihood, so every word she says goes to your heart, making you involuntarily trust her with all your heart.
Grandma Liang only felt that she had met her relatives today.
Liang Xiaonan prepared the onion segments, shredded ginger, dried chili peppers, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, green and red peppers, soy sauce, coriander and other seasonings to make the snails. Grandma Liang used pliers to remove the tails of the snails, and she cleaned them two or three times.
Then blanch it in boiling water, take it out and keep it aside.
Add oil to the pot, add a few star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili peppers, then add the chopped onions, ginger, and garlic, then add some bean paste Xiao Hongyu sent, and add a little vinegar to increase the flavor.
When she poured in the snails and stir-fried them, Sister Hu couldn't help but come out of the house and saw that Liang Xiaonan's fried snails were covered in sauce and smelled particularly fresh, sweet, and with a hint of spicy aroma.
Where is the fishy snail shell that everyone usually dislikes!
It came out in less than 10 minutes.
Sister Hu couldn't help but pick one up with her chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I'll try Xiaonan's cooking."
Liang Xiaonan said to her: "Auntie, suck it from the tail first, and the snail meat will seal the gap at the tail. Then suck it from the front, and the snail meat will be sucked out easily."
According to what she said, Sister Hu slurped out the conch meat easily, and it was immediately delicious and spicy. The conch meat was so tender and delicious.
"Daughter, your craftsmanship is really good. Making snail shells is not easy. This is the first time in decades that I have eaten such delicious snails."
Liang Xiaonan doesn't try to be polite or anything like that. She's a good professional at work and doesn't cook much, but smart people learn everything in common. She's seen recipes and gourmet food videos, so she probably remembers some of them.
What's more, she was a southerner in her previous life, so she could still make home-cooked aquatic products such as snails and seafood.
After cooking the snails, Xiaobei has already steamed the blue crabs in a small pot.
She took off the crab shell, removed the crab gills, crab intestines, crab stomach, etc., cut it into 8 pieces along the gaps between each leg, took off two large pliers, patted them open with the back of the knife, and arranged them on the plate with chopped green onion and ginger.
Sprinkle the shredded silk, soy sauce, sugar, etc., and drizzle with hot oil.
The fresh flavor of the scallion oil crab comes out.
Grandma Liang wanted Sister Hu to eat at home no matter what, and even took out the roast chicken that Cheng Gang gave to Liang Xiaonan.
"Oh, Aunt Liang, you are too polite." Sister Hu said this. She did not think that Aunt Liang prepared the roast chicken specially for her. She came today without saying hello in advance.
This can only be said that the rumors that Liang Xiaonan and Liang Xiaobei left home and went to beg for food are not credible. The three of them live a good life.
"Auntie, you don't get roasted chicken like this every day. I caught a few fish in the pond and picked some wild peaches in the mountains. My brother sent these fish and peaches to Wanghu Tower in the city. They saw that my brother was honest.
I just gave him a roast chicken, and I hope he can give it to us if we get game in the future."
What Liang Xiaonan said was half true and half false, which made it even more believable.
But Grandma Liang was obsessed with clearing Liang Xiaonan's name. She said to Sister Hu: "You don't know, this child goes to the mountains every day to search before dawn. When she gets money, she first buys clothes and shoes for her brother and me."
Show Sister Hu the embroidered shoes and clothes Liang Xiaonan bought for her.
Sister Hu saw that the shoes were made of good fabric, elegantly embroidered, durable and showed small feet. They were really beautiful.
"Auntie, your granddaughter is truly a smart girl. Don't worry, I will definitely guarantee her matchmaking. Not to mention other places, even in Dafeng County and Cao Xiaoyuan County, there is no matchmaker that I, Sister Hu, can't do."
Sister Hu was originally deceived by Wang Cuiying today. She was originally told to tell Liang Xiaonan to Zhang Laizi in Nanfeng Town, saying that after the matter was completed, she would be given 10 yuan to thank the matchmaker.
Sister Hu had long heard about Liang Xiaonan's reputation, and recently heard that she had been divorced by Wu Bing. She couldn't ask why Liang Xiaonan had been divorced again, so she asked why Wu Bing took the initiative to divorce her.
Wu Bing only said one sentence: "That is a living king of hell. I can't subjugate him."
After hearing this, she didn't want to take the job anymore. Zhang Zizi was from Nanfeng Town, so she wasn't trying to steal Mrs. Zhao's business, but Liang Xiaonan was a yellow girl anyway. Although Zhang Zizi had some wealth, he was almost 50.
At this age, it is obviously inappropriate for a grandfather-grandson marriage.
She has been a matchmaker all her life and has always been a matchmaker. She really doesn't need the 10 yuan.
She was about to give up, but she happened to meet Zeng Hanzhi who was shopping for groceries in Nanfeng Town, so she casually asked, "Does your grandson have a crush on you now?"
Zeng Hanzhi said: "Who does he like? His grandfather and I worked together to find him a powerful wife so that he could live a good life."
As soon as Sister Hu's mind moved, she thought of Wu Bing's phrase "The King of Hell" and thought that Liang Xiaonan was 17 and Zhou Yan was 22. The age difference of 5 years was not too much. Maybe they could really become a couple.
So when she came to the Liang family's old house, she came not for Zhang Laizi, but for Liang Xiaonan and Zhou Yan.
Seeing this, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart. She was convinced that Liang Xiaonan was the matchmaker.
