The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 499 - : 499 are all staring at wife 2
Chapter 499: 499 are all staring at wife 2
Su Qingyue first boiled water in a pot and blanched the cut pig’s large intestine in the boiling water for 5 minutes to remove the odor. Then, she drained the water.
Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Qinghe quietly stared at the wife, watching her stir-fry the pig’s intestines.
Suddenly, Qingyue felt the light in the kitchen dimmed as only the stove fire provided illumination, making everything appear darker.
Glancing sideways, she saw her second brother’s tall and sturdy figure blocking the kitchen doorway, effectively shielding the remaining sunlight from the sunset.
Instead of asking him to move, she lit the oil lamp.
Having previously complained about the inconvenience of only having one oil lamp in the house, she had already bought two more.
The gentle glow of the oil lamp illuminated Su Qingyue’s face in the darkness.
Her face covered in brown scabs looked frightening.
Yet, the three men staring at her were not scared away, but rather deeply attracted by her clear eyes that shone like stars.
She heated the oil in the pot and added the blanched pig’s large intestines with dried chili, ginger, salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, and water. Then, she covered the pot and let it simmer.
As soon as the pot lid was lifted, the rich and spicy aroma filled the entire kitchen.
Xiao Yuchuan sneezed, “Ah-choo! It smells so good, wife!”
With an expression that seemed like his saliva was about to flow out, he continued, “Wife, this stir-fried pig’s large intestine looks so delicious…”
Xiao Yishan’s tall and sturdy figure entered the kitchen, and his gaze that had been focused on Su Qingyue finally shifted to the pot, “It smells even better than meat.”
As soon as he entered the kitchen, his towering figure made the space seem even more cramped.
Su Qingyue couldn’t help but feel relieved that the Xiao Family’s kitchen was relatively big; otherwise, dining would be unbearably crowded.
Just before plating, she added some garlic to the stir-fry.
She used a clean bowl to scoop up the cooked pig’s large intestine.
A steaming hot bowl of braised pig’s large intestine was placed on the table.
Xiao Yuchuan was the first to pick up the chopsticks and taste it, “…”
Seeing his paused expression, Qinghe asked, “How does it taste?”
“So delicious that I want to swallow my tongue!” He exclaimed with admiration and even slobbered a little.
Xiao Yishan turned off the stove fire and then finally sat with Su Qingyue at the table.
Each person sat on one side of the table, surrounding it like a square.
Su Qingyue picked up a piece of the stir-fried pig’s large intestine with chopsticks and placed it in Xiao Yishan’s rice bowl, “Second brother, have a taste…”
Xiao Yishan felt dejected that whole afternoon after hearing the villagers say that the wife despised him. Seeing her help him pick up the food, his mood improved a lot. Using his chopsticks to pick up the small piece of pig’s large intestine that she put in his bowl, he didn’t want to eat it and wished to save it instead.
However, she was still eagerly waiting for him to try it.
Reluctantly, he put it in his mouth. As he was not good with words, he didn’t know how to express how delicious it was and simply nodded, “Delicious, there is no fishy smell at all.” Feeling that those two words were not enough to describe it, he added, “Very delicious!”
Xiao Yuchuan waited for his wife to also pick up some food for him but noticed she only picked food for herself.
So, he held his rice bowl in his hand and stretched it out in front of her.
She looked at him suspiciously, “What? Can’t finish your food and want me to help you eat it?”
“I haven’t even started eating, how could I not finish?” He replied unhappily, “Help me pick up some food!”
She rolled her eyes at him, “Are your hands broken? Why do you need me to help you pick food? Can’t you do it yourself?”
He grumbled sourly, “You helped the second brother pick food!”
