Chapter 190: Making Meat Soup to Gain Trust
Chapter 190: Making broth, gaining trust
"I do not want to."
Su Jinxiu spoke first and bit her lip.
"Master, I already have a husband-in-law outside.
We have made an oath to each other and have promised to live together forever.
Now that I have been kidnapped, how anxious is he?
A brave woman will not serve her second husband, if the boss forces me to do so.
I will just die now."
Although Big Tiger is born with a fierce nature, he is still honest and honest in nature.
"Xiaoxiao, stop her quickly."
With a little strength, he grabbed Su Jinxiu back and pinned her down on the chair.
"Sister, don't be afraid, my elder brother will not force you."
Su Jinxiu lowered her head and kept wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Seeing her like this, Shouhou felt even more uncomfortable.
"I don't think you've ever married someone, so you still dislike me?
It’s just a dead flower and a willow after all, so what’s the point of seeking life and death?”
"Skinny monkey!"
Dahu stopped him and frowned.
"We are not really bandits. Miss Su already has a husband-in-law, forget it.
If you find a girl you like again in the future, my eldest brother will help you make the decision."
Dahu opened his mouth, and the other brothers naturally helped to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, the second master is so powerful.
What kind of woman can’t be found? Come here, eat meat and drink wine.”
Naturally, Shouhou was not happy with this interruption.
He took a long sip of wine and stared at Su Jinxiu.
Humph, it's on his land.
What else do you want to pretend to be, a chaste and fierce woman?
Just wait, or he will beg him in a few days.
——————————
Early the next morning, Su Jinxiu got up early and prepared to go out and take a look.
As soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by a guard.
"The boss told me not to run around, girl.
Surrounding the village are mountains and old forests, as well as cliffs.
If a girl accidentally gets lost, she will either be torn to pieces by wild beasts or fall to pieces.
Girl, please come back."
Dahu had no intention of embarrassing Su Jinxiu, and the person guarding her was quite polite.
"Brother, I don't want to run away.
I just want to find something to eat, I’m really hungry..."
Su Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed and touched her belly.
These days, all Xiaoxiao has been given is dried meat, so it’s okay to eat one or two meals.
It's too much to swallow.
Yesterday's dinner was a table full of dried meat, but she didn't eat a bite.
At this moment, I am really hungry.
Before the guard could say anything, Xiaowei came.
In his hand, he also carried dried meat that Su Jinxiu was familiar with.
"Sister, are you awake? Just in time, I brought you something to eat."
Su Jinxiu grimaced and waved her hands.
"Um, Xiaoxiao, do you have anything else to eat?
The porridge and water are also ready. I really can’t eat this thing anymore.”
Xiaoxiao waved his hand, motioning for the guard to go down and rest, and took Su Jinxiu to the kitchen.
“Sister, we have little arable land here.
We only have so much paddy and wheat a year, not much rice and flour.
Only during the Chinese New Year can you share a bite to eat.
During this solar term, the prey cannot be stored.
It can only be made into dried meat, which will take longer to eat.
Come with me to the kitchen and have a look, there might be some uneaten cornmeal."
When the two of them arrived at the kitchen, a very plump woman was standing in front of the kitchen.
Holding a bowl of corn mush, he was eating enthusiastically.
Xiaoxiao brought Su Jinxiu forward and said hello with a smile.
"Er Niang, this is my future husband-in-law.
If you can't get used to this jerky, do you still have this corn paste?
Can you give it to me evenly?"
Er Niang glanced at Su Jinxiu and snorted angrily.
"No, are you accustomed to the problem of expensive money?
Do you want to be picky when you first come here? Will you have to do it later?"
Erniang was quite pretty when she was young and her cooking skills were pretty good.
After doing this kitchen job, I was used to being praised by others.
Naturally, she didn't take Xiaoxiao seriously, and because Su Jinxiu was beautiful, she was even more displeased.
"Xiaoxiao, don't say that Er Niang looks down on you.
What does it mean to be a future husband? This horoscope has not yet been discussed.
What you said is true. This kitchen is not something outsiders can enter casually.
Let’s go, let’s go quickly.”
Xiaoxiao also knew Erniang's temperament, so she had no choice but to take Su Jinxiu out.
"Sister, I'm sorry.
How about I go to my sister-in-law’s place to see if there’s anything else I can eat?”
Su Jinxiu smiled disapprovingly and looked around.
"Don't bother, I'll do it myself.
Can you borrow the kitchen later?"
Although Xiaoxiao was curious about what Su Jinxiu could do, he followed her around with a curious look on his face.
Su Jinxiu and Xiaoxiao went into the forest and picked some wild mushrooms and wild fruits.
Back in the kitchen, Erniang had already finished cooking lunch.
When they heard that they wanted to use the stove, she rolled her eyes and refused to allow them to touch her pots and stove.
Xiaoxiao helped Su Jinxiu find a pot, and the two of them set it up in the yard and started a fire.
Su Jinxiu made a pot of fresh soup with wild mushrooms, then tore the dried meat into thin strips and threw it in.
The heat steamed up, and my nose twitched a little, and my saliva couldn't help but flow down.
"Well, it smells so good, it smells so good!"
Su Jinxiu served a large bowl to Xiaoxiao and motioned for her to eat first.
Then, he also served a bowl.
"Xiaoxiao, try?"
Xiao Xiao took a sip of the soup first, it was very delicious.
Take a bite of mountain mushroom, crispy and sweet.
The dried meat, which is usually too chewy to bite, is cooked soft and soaked in the delicious flavor of mushroom soup.
It tastes so good that I can't bear to burn it.
Eat a bowl of wild mushrooms in broth and eat them cleanly.
Finally, looking at the remaining soup, I smiled sheepishly.
"Sister, can you give some of the rest to Brother Qiangzi and my sister-in-law?"
Su Jinxiu smiled and nodded.
"Okay, if you like it, you can do it next time."
Xiaoxiao carried the remaining soup and walked out with Su Jinxiu.
People passing by smelled it and looked over.
"What smells so good? Xiaoxiao, are you eating alone?"
Xiaoxiao quickly hid the soup so that they would not see it.
"Go, go, my sister made this.
Just eat what Er Niang cooks, don’t even think about it."
Er Niang just came back from outside. When she heard this, she couldn't help but snorted.
"How dare you eat something made by a woman of unknown origin?
Be careful, I'll poison you."
When everyone heard this, they could only swallow their saliva.
"Er Niang, how can we eat food made by others?
I must be eating what you made? What kind of dried meat did you make for us today?
Can we, like her, make some soup?"
Everyone gathered around Er Niang and walked away. Su Jinxiu smiled disapprovingly.
Turned around and went back to his house.
It's too difficult to escape now.
If we can gain their trust, it would be great to find a way to spread some news.
Early the next morning, Su Jinxiu hadn't gotten up yet.
I heard Xiao Xiao knocking on the door outside.
"Sister, are you up?
Do you want to go out for a walk? I'll take you for a walk in the woods?"
Su Jinxiu rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door.
"Xiao Xiao, it's not even bright yet outside!"
Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and touched his belly.
"Sister, the soup you made yesterday was so delicious.
Even my sister-in-law drank a lot. She hasn't eaten anything in a long time.
My eldest brother is very happy and allows me to show you around.
Let’s see if we can find some other fresh ingredients.”

Babies, happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
