Chapter 172 A knife on the head of color
Hearing the voices in the yard, Ma Defu led his nephew and rushed out.
At this time, Chu Nanzhi had already walked to the position where the cow was slaughtered in the middle of the dam, and was cleaning up the two golden roosters on the ground. When she saw Ma Defu's figure, she looked at the cow tripe on the ground, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Old man, these tripe tripe It’s a pity to throw it away, why don’t you let me try and make it for everyone to taste?”
Mentioning this matter, Ma Defu looked annoyed, and said with sincerity and fear: "To be honest, the cow slaughtered today was bought from Haikang County in the east two years ago. I was going to dig a piece of land in the mountains. Let's plant it together. It's just that the old cow is too old and weak, and my ignorant nephew killed it today while he was out collecting medicine, and he didn't report to the county in advance."
"It's not a big deal. It's troublesome to come and go here. As long as it's not stolen, even if the government knows it, it won't be too harsh."
Chu Nanzhi casually let out a sound of relief, and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man who was slaughtering a cow beside him.
Seeing her staring at his nephew, Ma Defu couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly introduced: "This is the old nephew Ma Laifu."
At first, I thought that the injured man inside was her husband, but after careful observation, I found that this was not the case, and the other old and ugly man didn't look like a husband and wife at all. It's better to match her with her nephew.
When Ma Laifu was slaughtering the cow just now, he felt that this woman was born with a beautiful face, which was a sign, but it was a pity that her brain was not good, she was crazy, and immediately lost interest.
Now that I have seen her excellence, I am very happy in my heart, I like it very much, and gestured earnestly: "I haven't asked the lady's name yet, so I have the courage to ask."
"The Nu Family Chu Family."
Chu Nanzhi only answered halfway, when he saw Li Ce rushing out with a big knife on his back: "Sister-in-law, you have a bit too many steamed buns, I'm afraid they won't last long."
"sister in law?"
The uncle and nephew were surprised when they heard this.
"Oh, this is my husband-in-law's brother, who works in the yamen, come out with me to do something."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
Although Zhou and Lin Jinxiao feel at ease to entrust Li Ce to their side, addressing them as brother, sister-in-law and uncle in front of outsiders can avoid gossip.
Furthermore, hearing the conversation between the uncle and nephew just now, and mentioning Li Ce's identity as a servant in the yamen, can also make these people dare not act recklessly.
After hearing Chu Nanzhi's words, the uncle and nephew immediately showed a look of disappointment.
Ma Laifu looked at the big knife on Li Ce's back again. He was a man with a heavy back and a member of the yamen. He was not easy to provoke, and the evil thoughts in his heart were gradually disappearing little by little.
Chu Nanzhi took the package in Li Ce's hand, and said to the two uncles and nephews: "When I came out, the mother at home specially prepared some food, and it is true that as Sanlang said, it should not be left for too long. If the senior does not dislike it, I will share it with you. Let's eat together as a family, it happens that my family knows some clumsy crafts, cooking the two golden chickens I picked up for everyone to try is a repayment for the kindness of the seniors."
He began to think in his heart that if he could conquer everyone with his cooking skills and occupy a place in the kitchen, he would be able to cook the meals for the next few days by himself, and he would not have to worry about these people tampering with the meals.
"That would be great."
Ma Defu replied with a smile: "I just heard that Mrs. Chu said that the tripe is very delicious, but I don't know how to make it delicious. I ask Mrs. Chu to enlighten me."
"I really don't dare to teach you. My family is also fortunate to have eaten it a few times. The taste is still fresh in my memory. I can only say that I have the courage to try it based on my memory."
As Chu Nanzhi said, her mind began to recall those delicious hot pots that she had eaten before. The hot spicy hot pot base was filled with fresh and delicious crispy hairy tripe, and the beef tendon was full of strength, and the tender bezoar Throat, just thinking about it now makes my mouth water.
Li Ce was listening on the sidelines, but he was very puzzled. He didn't know when his sister-in-law had eaten beef, more than once.
He glanced at her cautiously, but didn't dare to ask more questions.
Ma Defu wanted to see Chu Nanzhi's handicraft very much, and happily shouted into the hut, and then an old woman in a black cloth shirt led two young women out.
Chu Nanzhi took a general glance, but they were not the two people she met when she entered the room just now. She was curious, so she listened to Ma Defu's enthusiastic introduction and said: "This is the old wife Ma Liu and the two daughters-in-law Ma Zhang, Mrs. Ma Qi, what orders does Madam Chu have for my wife and daughter-in-law to help."
Yo, there are also members of the Liu clan.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but look at the old woman more, she had never heard of a clan member surnamed Liu in Tong'an Village hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
Ma Liu asked her daughters-in-law to bring several buckets of water as she ordered, and squatted in the dam with her to clean the tripe, while Li Ce took care of the golden rooster.
Ma Liushi just saw her husband took two thousand taels of silver bills, and she had a good impression of these uninvited guests. While washing the tripe, she chatted enthusiastically with Chu Nanzhi: "I heard that the lady and the two gentlemen came from the mountain. Didn’t you encounter any ferocious birds and beasts along the way?”
"No, I saw two golden roosters fighting."
Chu Nanzhi responded casually, and looked at the golden rooster in Li Ce's hand: "No, it's a pity to throw it in the mountains, so I picked it up."
"There is such a thing."
Ma Liu and his daughters-in-law were very surprised when they heard this: "This golden rooster is not easy to hunt. The few worthless monthly hares and pheasants in my family have hunted a lot, but they have rarely seen this thing. Junguo is really a blessed person, not only passed through Broken Dragon Mountain safely, but also this unexpected joy."
"Oh?"
Chu Nanzhi felt puzzled when he heard this: "Could it be that the mountains are very dangerous?"
Ma Liushi nodded with her mouth pursed: "Naturally, there are many wolves, tigers and leopards in Duanlong Mountain, but they can eat people. Last month, the postmaster of Funing County visited Haikang County for inspection. To entertain Master Duyou, I specially posted notices to let hunters from all over go into the mountains to hunt sika deer. My sons were attacked by jackals when they were hunting in the mountains. The youngest son was bitten by jackals and has not healed yet."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi nodded, and Li Ce also interrupted: "I have never heard of tigers and leopards, but there are indeed a lot of wolves in Duanlong Mountain. Every year, our county organizes hunters from various villages to go to the mountain to encircle and suppress them. Prevent wolves from going down the mountain to harm the people."
Chu Nanzhi didn't pay attention to this. Hearing the woman mentioned Haikang County, she became a little interested.
I walked eastward for a whole day today, but I didn’t expect to reach the border of Funing County, a neighboring county. Presumably Haikang County should be the closest seaside county to Luyan Port.
Since it is out of the jurisdiction of Pingning County, Haikang County must be out of the reach of the Qi family, and it is not difficult to find fish fry.
Staring at Ma Liushi thoughtfully, Chu Nanzhi first asked: "Is your son still seriously injured?"
