Chapter 24 The Matchmaker Visits
Liang Xiaonan called someone and continued to pack the things he brought down from the mountain.
Her reputation has not yet been reversed, and she has no interest in the marriage proposed by the matchmaker. The relatives who can come to her are either disabled or old bachelors. Anyway, they are all poor households.
She is not interested in finding a partner.
"Hula la", she quickly washed the snails in the bucket, threw a shovel into the basin, and raised them.
Cleaned the crab again with a brush, and wrapped the two large pliers with a thin thread to prevent it from running away.
"Grandma, yesterday's snails have been vomited clean, shall I fry a pot of snails today?"
"Okay, you do it, I will talk to your aunt for a while."
Grandma Liang really wanted to ask Sister Hu to see that her granddaughter is not only good-looking, but also very capable, and can find a good wife for matchmaking.
Sister Hu watched Liang Xiaonan handle the crabs and snails swiftly, and asked her, "Xiaonan, did you catch the pheasant in the yard?"
"No, I found some wild peaches on the mountain and exchanged them for them."
Grandma Liang immediately said: "18 peaches for 5 chickens and 2 rabbits."
"Oh, this kid is really a good hand at life."
Exchanging a dozen wild peaches for 5 pheasants and 2 rabbits, this is really not ordinary.
Liang Xiaonan was packing up the snails. Over there, Sister Hu said to Grandma Liang: "Xiaonan is beautiful, smart, capable, and filial. I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and I can judge people accurately. He is a good boy."
Grandma Liang cried when she heard this: "Auntie, you have said something fair. You understand a lot of things. If I didn't think the children were too pitiful, I wouldn't have taken them out to live alone."
"You want to divide the family?"
"I'm the one who wants to divide the family." Grandma Liang tried her best to take responsibility for the division of the family on herself. "I know my grandchildren are honest children, no matter what is said outside."
Sister Hu smiled and said, "Look, there are too many rumors, the white ones turn black, the dead ones turn alive, people's mouths are divided, and the two ends of the speech are shifted. I used to listen to too many rumors. Miss such a good boy."
As a general rule, matchmakers do not cross towns and do not meddle in other matchmakers' sites. Sister Hu is from Nanfeng Town, and there is already a Mrs. Zhao in Xiaoyun Town, so she doesn't interfere with the affairs here, but for unmarried men and women here, I probably have an account in my heart.
Matchmakers are clever with their mouths, they rely on this to make a living, so every word speaks to your heart, making you trust her involuntarily and with all your heart.
Grandma Liang only felt that she met her relatives today.
Liang Xiaonan prepared all the seasonings such as scallions, shredded ginger, dried chilies, star anise, peppercorns, green and red peppers, soy sauce, coriander, etc., and prepared to make snails. The tails of the snails were pinched off by Grandma Liang with pliers. She washed them two or three times, blanched them in boiling water, and took them out for later use.
Add oil to the pot, add a few star anise, Chinese prickly ash, dried chili, then put in the chopped green onion, **** and garlic, then add some bean paste sent by Xiao Hongyu, and add a little vinegar to enhance the aroma.
When she poured in the snails and stir-fried them, Sister Hu couldn't help but come out of the house, watching Liang Xiaonan's stir-fried snails covered with sauce, it smelled extraordinarily fresh and sweet, accompanied by a hint of spicy aroma, Where is the fishy snail shell that everyone despises at ordinary times!
It came out of the pan in less than 10 minutes.
Sister Hu couldn't help picking one up with her chopsticks, and said with a smile, "I'll try Xiaonan's cooking."
Liang Xiaonan said to her: "Auntie, **** it from the tail first, the snail meat will block the gap in the tail, and then **** from the front, the snail meat will be easily sucked out."
According to what she said, Ms. Hu swallowed the snail meat easily, and immediately tasted delicious and spicy, and the snail meat was so tender that it was delicious.
"Girl, your craftsmanship is really good, but snail shells are not easy to make. It has been decades, and this is the first time I have eaten such delicious snails."
Liang Xiaonan will not deliberately be polite or anything. She is a skilled person in the workplace and doesn't cook much, but smart people learn everything. I have seen recipes and food videos, and I probably remember some.
Besides, she was a southerner in her previous life, and she can still handle 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 gap between each leg, took off two large tongs, cracked it with the back of a knife, and arranged it on a plate, chopped green onion and **** Sprinkle silk, soy sauce, sugar, etc., and pour hot oil.
The fresh fragrance of scallion crab came out.
Grandma Liang insisted on pulling Sister Hu to eat at home no matter what, and even took out the roast chicken that Cheng Gang had given to Liang Xiaonan.
"Oh, Aunt Liang, you are too polite." When Sister Hu said this, she didn't think that Grandma Liang specially prepared roast chicken for her. She came today without any advance notice.
It can only be said that the rumors that Liang Xiaonan and Liang Xiaobei left the house without leaving the house, and that they are going to beg for food are not credible. The three grandparents and grandchildren are doing well.
"Auntie, this roast chicken is not available every day. I caught a few fish in the pond and picked up some wild peaches in the mountains. My younger brother sent these fish and peaches to Wanghu Tower in the city. They saw that my brother was honest. I just gave a roast chicken, and I hope we can send back the game when we get it.”
Liang Xiaonan said this, half truth and half false, but more credible.
But Grandma Liang wanted to rectify Liang Xiaonan’s name. She said to Sister Hu: “You don’t know, this child goes to the mountains every day before dawn to search, and when he gets money, he will buy clothes and shoes for her brother and me first.”
Show Sister Hu the embroidered shoes and clothes Liang Xiaonan bought for her.
Sister Hu sees that the shoes have good cloth surface, elegant embroidery, durable and small feet, they are really beautiful.
"Auntie, your granddaughter is really beautiful and intelligent. Don't worry, I will definitely guarantee her matchmaker. Not to mention other places, even Dafeng County and Cao Xiaoyuan County, there is no matchmaker that I, Big Sister Hu, can't do."
Big Sister Hu was originally tricked by Wang Cuiying to come here today. She was originally asked to tell Liang Xiaonan to Zhang Laizi in Nanfeng Town, and to give her 10 yuan as a thank-you matchmaker after the matter is completed.
Sister Hu had heard about Liang Xiaonan’s reputation a long time ago, and recently heard that she was divorced by Wu Bing. She couldn’t ask why Liang Xiaonan was divorced again, so she asked why Wu Bing voluntarily divorced her.
Wu Bing only said one sentence: "That's a living Hades, I can't surrender."
After hearing this, she didn't want to take the job anymore. Zhang Laizi is a good person from Nanfeng Town. She doesn't count as stealing Mrs. Zhao's business, but Liang Xiaonan is a big girl no matter what. It is obviously inappropriate for grandparents to marry at the age of 10.
She has been a matchmaker all her life, and she is always a matchmaker. She really doesn't lack the 10 yuan.
At first, she wanted to give up, but she happened to meet Zeng Hanzhi who was shopping for vegetables in Nanfeng Town, so she asked casually, "Is there anything your grandson likes now?"
Zeng Hanzhi said: "Who is he looking at? His grandfather and I will find him a powerful wife, and restrain him to live a good life."
As soon as Sister Hu thought about it, she thought of the phrase "living Hades" that Wu Bing said, thinking that Liang Xiaonan is 17 this year, Zhou Yan is 22, and the difference of 5 years is not too much. Maybe they can really make a couple.
So she came to the Liang family's old house, not for Zhang Laizi, but for Liang Xiaonan and Zhou Yan.
Seeing this, she was happy from the bottom of her heart, Liang Xiaonan's matchmaker, she was guaranteed.
