Chapter 135 - 127: It’s Drawn_3
Last time, since she owed him such a big favor, she wanted to make some sausages to send to him. There was also Zhang Zhongkun’s family, whom Old woman Qian was very grateful to for their great help.
In the afternoon, Huang Tie bought back pork and pig small intestines.
Lady Wu looked at the basket of goods in surprise and said, "The sun must have risen from the west, as Yixiu actually spent her own money to improve the family’s diet with meat. But it’s true, when you have money, you should buy useful things." She then laughed and added, "The meat can be preserved and eaten gradually; just stew the pig small intestines for tonight’s dinner."
Qian Yixiu quickly said, "This isn’t for eating right now. I’ve come up with another delicious thing, and I’ll let you all taste it when I’ve made it."
Having said that, she called her little aunt, Qian Xiaoyu, and Qian Xiaofeng into the kitchen. She instructed them thoroughly and then watched them work. Lady Wu came into the kitchen, saw them bustling about, and started to fret with a frown, "Child, why are you so wasteful? These are good ingredients, what a pity."
"I bought this with my own money, and I want to do this with it," Qian Yixiu said coyly.
Lady Wu had no way to deal with her granddaughter and, after a few complaints, left them to it.
They cleaned the intestines, removed unwanted fat and meat, scraped the casings, soaked them, and then cut the meat properly and seasoned it. It was time for dinner.
At the dinner table, Lady Wu began to nag again, claiming that Qian Yixiu didn’t understand thriftiness, and if she developed this habit, it wouldn’t bode well for her future marital home.
