Chapter 41: Saliva Chicken

  "Dad, Dad, I'm going to die!" Xi Mei ran as fast as her little legs could carry her to Chen Tianfa's side, but because of the crowd, she could only circle around his leg.

  "Dad, I'm over here! Look at me!" Just then, Chen Tian, who was surrounded by a group of people, looked down and saw Little Bun jumping up and down below, shouting "Dad!"

  He bent down and picked her up, rubbing his newly grown beard against Xi Mei's face. "Were you scared this time? Don't be afraid, Dad is fine." He smiled with satisfaction as he stroked her little braids.

  "You still dare to smile, don't you know that we were all scared to death?" Zhao's wife threw a punch at Chen Tianfa. Looking at his own daughter-in-law's face, which was just as beautiful as it was a few years ago, Chen Tianfa felt an itch in his heart, but unfortunately, there were too many people on the street and he couldn't give her a hug to relieve his longing.

  Zhao saw through his meaning, 'hissed' at him, but after turning around, the red glow on her face and her shyness were unmistakable. Looking at her parents' interaction, Xi Mei secretly covered her mouth with her hand.

  Haha, I didn't expect her dad to have such a generous side too, really can't tell from his appearance.

  Just as the family was rejoicing, Zheng led Zhang Zishang over and said, "Sister, you can rest assured now. I told you what would happen, good people will be rewarded, your whole family is honest and kind, heaven won't let you suffer."

  Chen Tian put down the joyful sister in his arms, pulled Zhao's family deeply and bowed to them, "This time if it wasn't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have died but would have lost my skin. Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, the kindness of your Zhang family to our Chen family, we're afraid that even in a lifetime, we can't repay."

  Just then, Zhang Zhongquan rushed over to help him up, "What's going on? People helping each other is only right. How about this, standing here on the street isn't good either, let's go to my place and have a few drinks, just the two of us?"

  Sister Xi thought that when she returned to the Zhang family, the little tyrant would inevitably ask her to tell stories again. This was not all, and she would also have to keep asking her "why Sun Wukong can jump 108,000 miles at a time" "Why Tang Seng can live forever" "Why the little white dragon turned into a horse"

  Wait, there are many questions, why, at a young age, Xi Mei has the trend of grabbing hair, I am Tang Seng, how do I know why he is immortal, I am Wu Cheng'en, how do I know why let a monkey flip over and turn 108,000 miles.

  I'm not one of the hundred thousand whys, why do you keep asking me why? If there's someone next to her, they'll definitely think Xi Mei is crazy, because during Xiao Bao Wang's free Q&A time, you'll see Xi Mei's true face - a violent little loli.

  Hearing Zhang's couple invitation, Xi Mei hastily shook her little head, "No way."

  Seeing several people staring at her, she awkwardly stuck out her tongue, "Uh, Uncle, Auntie, Grandpa, Grandma, Big Uncle, Second Uncle, Big Auntie, Second Auntie, and Little Auntie, as well as cousin Rui'an and cousin Rui'xiang..."

  The little thumb counted for half a day and counted a large pile of people. In the meantime, he also took a big breath because there were too many people. The delicate and lovely appearance made Zheng look at him without even blinking his eyes.

  Weakly said "Still waiting for us."

  "Oh dear, how can you be so lovable, little treasure? Go home with your aunt?" Zheng Shi began her tireless efforts to persuade him again.

  Looking at Zhang Zhongquan's helpless face and Xiao Ba Wang, Xi Mei smiled at Zheng Shi, "Auntie, I still have to go home and accompany my dad, I'm afraid that if he can't find me tonight, he'll cry." As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her burst out laughing.

  Zheng thought to herself, they had just been released from a big prison, and their family members didn't know what kind of state they were in, so it was reasonable that they would rush home. Although she comforted herself like this, when she saw Xi Mei, she really couldn't bear to part with her.

  "Mr. Zhao saw that Mrs. Zheng liked Xi Mei and, seeing her reluctant to part with Xi Mei, advised her, 'Madam, it's an honor for our family that you appreciate Xi Mei. After this is over, I'll definitely bring Xi Mei to visit you again, and I hope you won't mind the trouble.'"

  "No, no, how can I be tired of it? Alright then, once you're done with your family's business, you must bring the kids to my place." Zheng said reluctantly.

  "Definitely, definitely." Zhao hastily replied.

  Watching her mother and Zheng's endless courtesy, Xi Mei covered her mouth to stifle a yawn and leaned on Chen Tianfa's shoulder. Her eyes inadvertently glanced over and saw Wang Zihans figure again, that guy was staring at her older sister again.

  Suddenly she felt invigorated and beckoned her older sister with a small hand. "Sister, scratch me, I'm so itchy."

  Just in time to block the scorching gaze of Prince Wang from behind, Xi Ju was scratching her back seriously when Xi Mei made a face at him.

  Although she didn't know what he did, just because of the two coughs he made under the eaves, plus Zhou Dazhuang's face changed drastically when he heard the cough, she knew that this matter must have something to do with him. However, since he didn't say anything, she pretended not to know either.

  Only a fool wouldn't know what he's plotting. I don't want to think about these annoying things anymore. Facing the still tickling Xijiu, she said, "Sister, let's go home. Grandpa and grandma are waiting for us at home."

  Chen Tianfa patted his daughter's hand, "Right, we should head back home too. Ruihao, call out to your mom that we're heading back home."

  Rui Xuan loudly exclaimed and went to bid farewell to the two women who were in a heated argument.

  They finally bid farewell to Zhang's couple, plus the little overlord who wanted to slip away quietly, it was already more than half a time later. They refused Zhang's offer to send them back home and confirmed when they would visit again to thank them.

  A group of people went to Zhoujia Village in a mighty and majestic manner. Along the way, Zheng's older brother kept teasing Xǐ Jú, "Big sister, didn't I say so? Today will definitely be fine, you still don't believe me, and instead made me get up early."

  When she heard her uncle's nagging, Jihui didn't say a word, but just smiled with a good temper. Jiemei looked at her older sister, whose appearance was elegant and refined, and there was also a kind of quiet and elegant temperament about her.

  No wonder Zhou Da Zhuang, even the young master of the town is interested in older sister, hehe, charm is really not small, just don't know what kind of person she will become after growing up, whether she will also be as popular as older sister, and soon fell into self-admiration.

  "Ah-choo!" Xi Mei's cough startled her, and Zhao Shi took Xi Mei from Chen Tianhua's arms. "Little girl, what are you thinking about again? Your saliva is almost dripping out."

  The surprised younger sister quickly touched her mouth and then pretended to be angry, "You're so bad, always teasing me."

  Everyone on the road laughed, Xi Mei sighed in her heart, why was she always the pitiful one? Mother, I know you want to ease the atmosphere, but why do you always make her the joke?

  However, I've made up my mind to take good care of my family. But the money we earned in two days was all spent at home. The plan to make more money must be implemented. Also, from now on, let's keep my older sister away from that young master, who knows if he's a playboy or not.

  Prince Wang Han, who was thinking of the beauty, involuntarily let out a sneeze. Erzi said considerately: "Young master must have caught a chill, after returning home, ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of ginger soup and it will be fine." He looked up at the sky in puzzlement, on such a hot day, he shouldn't catch a cold.

  "Hey, it's none of this servant's business to meddle in the master's affairs. Just take good care of the master and that's all. Seeing Wang Zihuan remain silent, he too held his tongue."

  He let out a deep sigh and Prince Wang also turned around and left.

  When Chen's family and their entourage arrived at the village entrance, many villagers already knew the reason for the event and came to congratulate them. The elderly people even said that they heard from the county magistrate that the case could be retried tomorrow.

  Those who have been wronged by him in the past have all gone to the city together. To say nothing of others, just talking about the women he has bullied, their families will not let him off easily.

  Haha, I reckon after all this, exile would be a light punishment. Thinking about it, in the future without the Zhou family's bullying and domineering, the village will be much more peaceful.

  Everyone was all smiles, and it had been said that the rest of the Chen family had returned. When they first entered the village, several children went to their house to report the news. By the time they reached the old mansion gate, a whole family came out to greet them.

  "Old Three, are you alright?" Chen Jia's elder brother patted Chen Tianfa with great force, although it looked like a big deal, but Chen Tianfa knew his elder brother didn't use much strength at all.

  "Look at you, as soon as your little uncle comes back, you hit him. Be careful or your sister will not be polite to you." Madam He scolded him with feigned anger, while scolding, she made a face at him to show her concern for her daughter's pitiful appearance.

  "Haha, you!" Xue also tapped Xi Mei's nose, "Must be hungry. I knew you were coming back today, so we bought a lot of things and are waiting for your mom to cook."

  Zhao smiled and said, "Alright, let them talk here, we'll go cook." Then she followed several sisters-in-law to the kitchen.

  Inside the house, Old Master Chen was being supported by Madame Chen and was about to walk out the door when Chen Tianfa rushed in and immediately knelt down, "Father, Mother, it's your child who is unfilial and has caused you worry."

  "Back is good, back is good." Mr. Chen said seriously to her, "Look at you, encountering a little thing and crying, making the children laugh." Chen Li smiled with a snort.

  "Yes, I don't know who it was that turned over and over last night, constantly saying 'Oh dear, what can be done about Lao San?' and went on and on all night?"

  Seeing his old wife bluntly exposing him, he could only smile awkwardly and let the children tease him.

  In the kitchen, Xi Mei watched everyone busy and saw the chicken being processed in the basin. Suddenly, she had an idea, hugged her aunt's leg and shouted "Auntie, Auntie, I want to eat mouth-watering chicken."

  "What's a saliva chicken? Is it something that you can still eat after licking your fingers? Oh, Xi Mei, don't worry, Mother will cook chicken legs for you later." He Shi cooed to Xi Mei.

  "No, I want to eat mouth-watering chicken. If you don't agree, I'll cry for you to see." Little hands on hips, threatening.

  He's reluctant to see her cry and says: "Alright, listen to you, but if it goes wrong, you won't have chicken legs to eat today?"

  "Alright, alright, I've done it at Zhang's house for uncle and aunt, it was extremely delicious. After a while, I'll make some first and give it to the old lady." Someone is giving someone else a mind-controlling drug again.

  "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you." He thought for a moment, the Zhang family is a big household, if Xi Mei has seen them eat and can definitely eat, then even if she can't eat, what can be done? Looking at the little girl making a fuss in front of her, wouldn't his heart ache to death?

  Look at this group of annoying women.

  "Old lady, let's first cut off the chicken's claws, head, butt, and neck." As soon as the little girl opened her mouth, He Shi said: "Why cut it off? Doesn't your brother love to eat chicken butt?"

  Encountering such an uncooperative 'partner', I had no choice but to use my "acting cute" technique, "Aww, come on, just listen to me." The person in question, who was mentally already over twenty years old, didn't blush at all.

  "Alright, alright, cut it off, what's next little ancestor?" Xi Mei smiled and said, "Throw it into boiling water to scald off the blood foam, then rinse the chicken clean."

  "Pick it up and rinse it with clean water repeatedly. Then put the whole chicken into boiling water, cook for a minute, turn off the fire and cover to simmer for a minute, then quickly put it into ice water to chill for a minute."

  "What a bother?" Mr. He thought, but having come this far, he couldn't turn back now, so he suppressed the regret in his heart and continued on.

  "Pour the Sichuan pepper powder into the chili oil, just like that." At this time, He also became a bit curious and quickened his movements. "Then roast the peanuts and white sesame seeds until fragrant."

  "You little girl, what white sesame seeds do we have at home? We only have black sesame seeds. If you want to use them, then use them, if not, then don't." Seeing her about to blow up, she quickly appeased her by saying: "Yes, whatever the mistress says is right, we'll just use black sesame seeds."

  She gave her a displeased glance, "This is barely acceptable." After saying that, she continued with her work. Xi Mei secretly let out a sigh of relief, this big sister's temper was really... really... overbearing.

  "Then?"

  "Cut the chicken into pieces about this wide" said with a hand gesture

  "Go on." Mrs. Ho sliced through her gesture for her to continue.

  "The main dish is coming, pour the chili oil into white sugar, sesame paste, ginger, garlic, scallions, white wine, soy sauce, fragrant vinegar, cooked black sesame, and peanut fragments, mix well to make a seasoning sauce, and drizzle it on the chopped chicken strips.

  Is that so simple? He asked suspiciously. "Yes, yes, try some, Madam?" picked up chopsticks and stirred before feeding He."

  "I'll take it myself" took a bite with chopsticks, and the taste was really good. It can't be seen that the little girl still has some skills.

  However, he intentionally frowned and said "It doesn't taste good."

  Today's character explosion has increased a lot of words, thank you for the support from everyone yesterday, and warmly cheering "asking for votes, asking for rewards ~ ~ ~.
