Chapter 18: Are You Waiting for Me?
When everyone heard this, they looked at Su Li with an even more unfriendly gaze. They couldn\'t even bear to buy meat once a year. How good Su Li was. If she didn\'t get meat, it was eggs. She had raised herself to be fair and fat.
Su Li looked at Wang Jinxue mockingly. "Your nose is really sharp. If you say that you\'re second, even the dogs in the village won\'t dare to say that they\'re first."
"Are you comparing me to a dog?" Wang Jinxue was so angry that her nose was almost crooked.
Su Li spread her hands innocently. "I didn\'t say that. You were the one who claimed it. Everyone can testify for me."
"Your basket is full. Do you dare to say that you didn\'t buy any meat?" Wang Jinxue continued to point the finger at Su Li\'s basket.
Su Li glanced at Wang Jinxue. "What does it have to do with you whether I buy meat or not? Why are you caring so much?"
The woman at the side pursed her lips and said, "Mother of Dahu, it\'s fine if you buy whatever you want. We won\'t snatch your things, let alone be jealous of you. But it\'s not right for you to hide it like this. Are you treating us as bandits?"
When Su Li heard the words "Mother of Dahu" again, she was still a little unaccustomed. Could it be that the term "Mother of Dahu" had magic? Couldn\'t they change the way they addressed her?
"That\'s right. Is there a need to hide something you bought? It\'s as if everyone has never eaten pork!"
Su Li said, "I really didn\'t buy pork. I just bought some worthless things. I won\'t embarrass myself!"
Fortunately, she had the foresight to throw the pork into the interspace. Otherwise, this group of people would be jealous!
Although she was not afraid of those rumors, sometimes people needed a good reputation. A good reputation could help you solve many problems.
However, a good reputation was impossible for her in this lifetime. The original owner\'s tricks had long kicked her out of the three worlds. It was probably impossible for her to crawl back, but this did not stop Su Li from feeling that she could still be saved.
Although a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, it was best if it could avoid getting scalded as much as possible!
Su Li removed the layer covering the basket, and a smell assaulted their noses. The gossipy crowd pinched their noses and dispersed.
"What\'s in your basket? Why does it smell so bad?"
"That smells like shit in a latrine. Mother of Dahu, you didn\'t pick up a piece of shit and come back, did you?"
Pig intestine: ... I smell so good, why are you so biased against me?
Su Li blinked innocently and said to everyone, "I bought some pig intestines from a pork shop. No one bought that thing. The pork shop owner is selling it cheaply. I thought that I could still eat two more meals after buying it, so I bought it back."
"Just now, Wang Jinxue said that she smelled pork. I think that\'s what she smelled. After all, pig intestines are also from pigs!"
Su Li changed the topic again. "Speaking of which, the taste of pig intestines and pork is so different. How could Wang Jinxue be mistaken? Could it be that she usually eats pig intestines like pork?"
As soon as she said that, everyone turned to look at Wang Jinxue.
Wang Jinxue blushed and stomped her feet anxiously. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Li gave Wang Jinxue a look that said she had seen through her but she would not expose it. Then, she placed the basket on the ox cart and said to Old Zhao.
"Master Zhao, everyone is here. Let\'s go!"
Old Zhao finished the last puff of his cigarette and said to everyone, "Those who are taking the bus please pay first."
Everyone paid and hurriedly got into the car, afraid that they would not be able to get a good seat if they were too slow.
As Wang Jinxue was a little slow, she was squeezed to the back. After she got into the car, she even glared at Su Li, as if Su Li was the one who caused all of this.
Before Su Li reached home, she saw the two little fellows standing in the distance.
"Are you guys waiting for me?" Su Li asked.
"No!" the brothers said in unison.
Su Li covered her mouth and giggled. These two little fellows were too cute.
He Dahu said awkwardly, "Don\'t laugh. We\'re playing here. We\'re definitely not waiting for you!"
He Erhu chimed in, "Yes, Brother is right!"
Su Li didn\'t want to continue this topic with these two awkward little fellows. She rubbed their heads, held a child in each hand, and pulled them home.
"Let\'s go home!"
He Yufeng was cooking in the kitchen. When he saw Su Li holding He Dahu and his brother\'s hands, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
It was rare for this woman to have such a gentle side. In the past, she was always baring her fangs and brandishing her claws!
Su Li placed the basket on the ground and took out the pig intestines and pig lungs.
He Dahu and He Erhu were originally gathered at the side, wanting to see if Su Li had brought anything for them. Although this thought might be a dream, they couldn\'t help but think in that direction.
When they smelled the pig intestines, they couldn\'t help but pinch their noses.
"It stinks!!"
Su Li chuckled. "This is good stuff. You\'ll know later. You might even enjoy it!"
He Erhu shook his head vigorously. "We\'re not eating this!"
They wanted to vomit just by smelling it, and she wanted them to eat it? Wasn\'t that equivalent to making them eat shit?
Su Li had to deal with the pig intestines, so she threw the pig lard to He Yufeng and instructed him bluntly.
"Stew these into lard oil. Don\'t boil them too dry. Leave the oil residue for the children to eat."
The oil residue could be eaten as snacks or stir-fried. In this family that lacked everything, the oil residue was considered precious.
He Yufeng did not agree or refuse to help.
Su Li took it that he had agreed and started to process the pig intestines.
In the past, they used salt or baking soda to deal with pig intestines, but it was clearly unrealistic here. Su Li had burned some wood ash, so using wood ash to deal with pig intestines was not a bad choice.
After the pig intestines were processed, He Yufeng was boiling lard in the kitchen. Su Li went in to take a look. After boiling the lard, she had to cook again. The pig intestines could only be braised after dinner. After all, this kitchen was too small!
However, she could take advantage of this time to find the seasonings for the braised intestines first. There were no star anise, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, and other seasonings at home.
Su Li found the ingredients she needed on the mountain, she was lacking ginger.
Although she did not grow ginger at home, it did not stop her neighbors from being diligent!
Chen Xiang looked at Su Li outside the door and asked, "Sister, what\'s the matter?"
Su Li said truthfully, "Sister, do you have ginger at home? I\'m preparing to braise something. I happen to lack some ginger!"
"Wait here. I\'ll get it for you."
After saying that, Chen Xiang held her waist and walked into the house.
"Sister-in-law, this is the medicine I picked for you on the mountain. It can treat your back pain. You\'ll recover after taking it three times a day for three consecutive days."
Su Li handed the medicine she had prepared to Chen Xiang and told her the dosage.
Chen Xiang looked at the medicine in Su Li\'s hand and smiled awkwardly. She thought that Su Li was just joking. She didn\'t expect her to really send her medicine!
