C16 Stir-fried Meat with Chilli

Mrs Zhao poured oil into the wok, simmered until it was 60% done, and sprinkled a large handful of red chili peppers into it. She stir-fried it until its color darkened, then poured a bowl of peanut rice into the wok and started stir-frying until it made a crisp popping sound, then picked up the shovel, scooped up the peanut rice in the wok, and sprinkled the salt onto the wok.

Lin Xin'er carried the plate to the room.

When she returned to the woodshed to help the Zhao Family build a fire, she saw Lin Jia Sheng, who was rushing over from the courtyard entrance, followed by Lin Shuli and Lin Xin.

The three of them walked into the courtyard and headed towards the house.

"Dad, you guys are eating wine, why don't you let Shu Cheng call me over? Our family needs to borrow money to set up a contract. If I'm not here, it would be difficult for you guys to sign it." The Lin Clan replied with a loud laugh.

Old man Lin's cold eyes drifted past Lin Jia Sheng. He turned his head towards the sitting golden-haired man and said, "This is my second son. He's a good-for-nothing. You must see him as a joke."

"What he said does make sense. We haven't even written a note yet, so we can let him watch by the side for a while to let you relax." Blonde smiled with a deeper meaning to it.

"What does he know? "These sons of mine are only rich and have good prospects. In the future, I can only count on them to become an official and bring glory to our ancestors." Old man Lin drank a mouthful of white wine and said.

The Lin Family didn't seem to be angry. Smiling mischievously, they walked up to Lin Shucheng and said, "Second nephew, why don't you bring two more stools over? Your fourth uncle has also returned." Then, he turned around to Old Man Lin and said, "Dad, don't be angry at me, I don't have that much sense of foresight. It was the rich man who told me that our big brother wanted to borrow money, so we should come home and take a look."

"If that's the case, then I don't understand. Who was it that borrowed the silver from?" "Brother, you have to explain it clearly, I will go to whoever borrowed the silver. We already agreed on it before we borrowed the silver, we can only borrow the silver if we use the goods as collateral, do you want to use the house and the farmland as collateral, or only the farmland as collateral?" Blondie put down his chopsticks and asked with a serious expression.

Old Man Lin's face turned cold.

Before old man Lin even opened his mouth, Lin Jia Sheng said with a smile, "Big Brother's house in the town is rented, and you don't have any good land in the town, how can you guarantee this?" Grabbing the chair that Lin Shucheng passed to him, he sat down beside the Lin Clan member.

The two brothers had already heard from their father that a fight might break out with their uncle's family today. If they were to make a move, the two brothers wouldn't have to be so polite and would smash Lin Shucheng to the ground.

The two brothers looked as if they were waiting for a fight to break out. Seeing this, Lin Shucheng sneered and returned to his original position.

The Lin Clan became anxious. They turned to look at the Lin Clan member, and upon seeing that the other party was only lowering his head to drink his wine, he ignored him and cast a pleading gaze at old man Lin.

Old man Lin glared at Lin Jia Sheng and said, "You're talking too much. We don't have a branch family. The house and the farmland are all the same, so we'll borrow money together."

"Father, who will return it in the future? What should we do now? " The Lin Clan asked.

The Lin Clan got angry, and pointed at the Lin Clan, "Third brother, what is the meaning of your aggressive attitude? Just tell us exactly what is on your mind. "

"Big brother, we are well-informed. The two hundred silver taels that the Zhao Clan gave us were all spent on Shu Cheng. We didn't even get a single coin." Lin Jia Village stretched out a finger, turned around on the table and said: "For such a large family, big brother will not take any of them seriously, but for my parents, you should at least let them know!" "You used up all your silver without saying a word. We didn't even see any light on it. Why didn't you tell us when you were borrowing the silver?

"You're here to cause trouble!" Lin Jia Wang said with a dark expression.

"Big brother, don't say that. I have always been open and upright. I have never done anything sneaky behind my brother's back." The Lin Clan smiled and pointed to the matter.

The Lin Family was in a furious mood. They suddenly stood up and pointed at the Lin Family, "What do you mean by saying this? "My Lin Family has never let anyone down because of my despicable heart."

"Big bro's really pissed off. Hurry up and sit down, us brothers will accompany dad and the guests to eat and drink. Make sure that everyone is laughing when you make a racket." The Lin Family chuckled grandly as they lifted up their wine cups and took a sniff.

He snatched the wine cup from Lin Jia Sheng's hand and finished it in one gulp. Then, he tossed the empty wine cup onto the table heavily and sat back down on the stool. He picked up the wine jug and filled the empty wine cup, then lifted it and finished it in one gulp.

Seeing this, the Lin Clan elder brother finally opened his mouth and said: "Since second brother wants to be the overseer, why don't we wait for third brother to come over and explain the matter of borrowing the silver in front of Uncle Jin. Second brother, what do you think?"

"Since Fourth Bro has already spoken, who would dare not listen?" Lin Jia Sheng glanced at Lin Jia Wang and joked.

The Lin Clan elder was not angered by this, and continued to smile faintly, not allowing anyone to guess what he was thinking.

Lin Jia Sheng said to Lin Shuli, who was beside him, "Go and see what your third uncle is up to. He was the one who called me here, but he refused to come in and used me as a gun. Anyway, I'm the most annoying person at home, so I'll do whatever he wants."

"I'll go take a look." Lin Shuli replied.

In the woodshed.

Lin Jia Sheng, who was squatting in front of the pot and lighting a fire, said impatiently, "Girl, why are you so useless? You don't even know how to make a fire, what's wrong with the house? I need to hurry over and take a look."

Lin Xin'er could only smile without saying a word.

Mrs Zhao, on the other hand, could not help but laugh. "It's really hilarious that it was extinguished while the fire was burning. Other than you, no one else can do such a thing."

"Truly useless." Lin Jia Sheng added.

"Dad, why are you the only one back? Where's my sister and little brother? Why haven't they returned yet?" Lin Xin'er looked towards the courtyard door.

"There are a lot of things to do in the field. I can come back alone, but they won't be able to help me at all. I might as well work in the field a little more." After the Lin Family had made a fire, he stood up and walked out of the woodshed as he spoke.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he ran into Lin Xianli, "Third Uncle, quickly come with me to the upper room. My father has been waiting for you for too long."

Lin Xin'er quickly dropped the match in her hand, picked up the plate of chili concoction eggs, and headed upstairs.

Upon reaching the entrance, they heard the furious voice of old man Lin.

"I usually find you to be a good boy, but it turns out you have teeth in your stomach, and you are just trying to be mean. If you mess with this mess, I'll clean up behind your ass. You bastard, stand there for me."

Lin Xin'er pushed the door open. When she saw that there was a distance of half a meter between them, she saw that the Lin Clan's rich young master was standing there with his head lowered. He had a submissive appearance, and did not dare to say a single word.

"Grandfather, what did my father do wrong? I said no wonder my grandpa didn't let me go to the fields and call my dad home. He specifically told Big Sister Guo'er to go to the fields and call my dad back. Lin Xin'er smiled as she placed the plate in front of the golden-haired youngster.

Just a moment ago, she had placed each plate in the middle of the table, but upon realizing that old man Lin had once again placed the plate in front of her, she decided to place the plate in front of her this time.

"Did your big sister Guo'er go and call your father back?" Old Man Lin asked.

"Without grandpa's order, how could my father come back from the fields? Although my father came back, my sister and brother are still working in the fields. Just now, my father said that there were a lot of things to do in the fields." Lin Xin'er said with a smile.

Old man Lin looked at the Lin Family.

The Lin Family looked at Lin Xin'er and berated her: "How can a little girl's family have the right to speak in front of a guest? Hurry up and leave."

"Grandfather, I'll leave now." After Lin Xin'er finished speaking, she walked out of the room and slowly closed the door. When she closed the door, she heard Old Man Lin in the room asking the Lin Family to sit down, and her tone became much better.

Lin Xin'er headed back to the woodshed.

The Yang family came in with a piece of pork and said, "Esteemed guests come to our house, but we can't even find a proper dish. The dishes you stir-fry for more than ten years all taste the same, how come they didn't improve at all?"

Mrs Zhao lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Seeing Mrs Zhao's angry appearance, Mrs Yang's anger rose. She coldly glared at Mrs Zhao and said: "Who are you showing such a dead appearance to? You don't like what I say. You have become capable. I'm not angry at you yet."

"Mom, I'm not." Mrs Zhao was so anxious that her eyes turned red.

Mistress Yang said angrily, "Quickly go to the side and die. I will personally come to cook." He walked to the wok and pushed Mrs Zhao to the side.

"Mom, go to the back yard and pick some more dishes. Today, we have an important guest at our house, so we can cook ten dishes that will be perfect for him. Only then will we be able to display the hospitality of a host." Lin Xin'er said with a smile.

Her words blew away the Yang family's anger, and they smiled and nodded in agreement, "You are right. Although our family is poor, but with guests here, the etiquette we should have is not lacking at all."

Mrs Zhao quickly responded and quickly walked out of the woodshed.

Mistress Yang rolled up her sleeves, stretched out a pair of white, fat hands, picked up a knife, and put all the streaky pork on the chopping board into pieces on an empty plate. Then, she picked out a dozen large chili peppers from the basket and washed them in a basin.

"Heart, burn this fire for me."

Lin Xin'er turned around and pulled over a bundle of firewood. She folded every piece of firewood and placed them all at the bottom of the wok. After that, she continued to fold the firewood and put it at the bottom of the wok.

Mistress Yang took the spoon and scooped two spoonfuls of oil into the wok. When the wok was eighty percent hot, she poured a plate of streaky pork into the wok.

Oil was splattering everywhere, and Lin Xin'er quickly stood up and retreated. Mistress Yang took a few steps back, scooped up half a spoonful of soy sauce and poured it all into the wok, no longer splattering.

Lin Xin'er once again squatted on the spot and continued to put firewood at the bottom of the wok.

After she had stir-fried the meat for a few minutes, she grabbed a few peppers and scattered them in the wok. After she had stir-fried a few times, she put the chopped spring onion and ginger into the wok and continued to stir-fry. When the meat was almost done, she poured all the chili into the wok and continued to stir-fry until it was about to change color.

A plate of chili fried meat was emitting a fragrant smell.

Seeing that it was Mistress Yang, there was a trace of awkwardness on their faces, but they immediately recovered. Née Qin smiled and said: "Like I said, even if you beat Mrs Zhao to death, she wouldn't be able to cook such fragrant dishes. Mother's cooking skills are even better than a chef's."

"Such a plate of meat, more than we eat in a month. Mom was so happy that she even cooked for us. It seems like the loan of silver went smoothly." Madam Zhou's eyes were fixed on the plate of meat, and she was almost drooling while laughing.

Mistress Yang rolled her eyes, "You wish. This is for the guests to eat, don't even think about it. Even if the guests can't eat the leftovers, they will have to give it to the men tomorrow."

"Mom, what do I want to eat? I'm just here to take a look. Did sister-in-law come over just to eat meat?" Mrs. Zhou said to the Qin family with a smile.

The Qin family's expression turned cold. They looked at the Zhou family's people and said, "I'm not like those blind people. I'm so greedy that I can't move my legs when I see a piece of meat."

Without waiting for her to continue, Madame Zhou grabbed the food and laughed loudly, "Of course, what kind of food haven't you eaten? It's not like we have. We've been in the village for so long, we haven't even gone out to eat."

The Qin family snorted and went back to their room in anger.

Madame Zhou sneered and turned back into the house.

The Yang family watched the two daughter-in-law return to their own rooms with a cold expression. After the two of them closed their doors, her face revealed a trace of sneer, but it was only a flash.

He carried a plate of chili fried meat to the upper room.

When Mrs Zhao returned to the woodshed, she said with a bitter face, "Xin'er, your mouth is too fast. Before she can speak, you should have said everything first. Just tell me about these ten dishes. Where do you want me to go and get the ten dishes?"

"Mom, don't worry."

Lin Xin'er smiled as she took the vegetable basket from Mrs Zhao. As she looked at the eggplant, beans, chilli, and cucumber vegetables in the basket, she thought about what she wanted to cook. But then, a woman's wail came from outside the courtyard.

"Surnamed Lin, I've died in your house. You've been punished by the heavens, and you've even defiled her daughter. You don't even dare to say a single word. If you have the guts, then scram."

Crying and cursing caused everyone in the Lin Clan to be taken aback.

Everyone in the upper room had already left the room.

The Qin from the east wing and the Zhou from the south, Lin Guo'er ran to the door and looked outside. From the firewood door that was opened, Lin Xin'er happened to see the situation outside the courtyard.

"Who is it?" Mistress Yang asked as she walked to the entrance with a sullen face.

"Open your dog eyes and see who I am? Asking your second grandson to scram out here, using his life to pay for his life, using his life to pay for two lives, is it worth it? Get him out of here. " Juan'er spat on Yang's face and wailed.

Mistress Yang angrily said, "If you have anything to say, come inside the house and let's talk about it. What are you acting like? Anyone who doesn't know what our family has done to you?"

"What did your family do to me? "Let me ask you, why did your second grandson ruin my Juan'er's innocence? Right now, all sorts of unpleasant things are being spread around the town, and if it wasn't for my wife selling firewood in town, we wouldn't even know about this. Call out that brat Lin Shucheng for me." Juan'er stomped her feet and tore at Mistress Yang's clothes as she cried.

The Yang family had never been so wronged before.

One of the juniors was cursing and tearing at her, causing her to lose all her face. She turned her head and shouted to née Qin, who was standing by the door: "Get the hell over here." He shook off Mother Juan'er's hands and said angrily, "A debt has its own owner. If you have anything to say to him, just go and speak to his mother."
