After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 270: Bean and Potato Rice

"We also caught some crayfish!" Shen Nianle added impatiently.

His little face flushed, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and he repeated, "Sister, we also caught crayfish. Can we eat crayfish tonight?"

Hearing this, Shen Nian looked at the clothes they were holding in their arms and asked with a smile, "So the three of you are hiding crayfish in your clothes?"

Shen Nianle chuckled and carefully opened the corner of the clothes wrapped around him, revealing a few crayfish.

"We couldn't find anything to put it in, and we thought it would be too troublesome to come back to get a basket, so we wrapped it in clothes," he explained.

Shen Nian smiled and nodded under the expectant eyes of the four people: "Okay, put it in the basin first and wash it clean. I will fry it for you when the rice is cooked. Yes, change your clothes first and then wash them."

"Okay! Sister!" The four of them answered in unison and immediately took action.

Shen Nianle was like a nimble little monkey. He quickly poured the crayfish into the bucket, whooshed into the room to change clothes, and whooshed out again.

Shen Nian watched the four people running around in the yard, but she didn't pay any attention. She went back to the kitchen and started preparing the seasoning for stir-frying crayfish.

Shen Nian'an and the other three squatted by the well, carefully scrubbing the lobsters and smelling the aroma of stewed rice with beans and potatoes coming from the kitchen.

"Judging from the fragrance, my sister must be making braised rice tonight!" Shen Nianle guessed while scrubbing the crayfish and inhaling the aroma.

Shen Nian'an glanced at him speechlessly: "I can also smell the smell of stewed rice, you are talking nonsense."

Li Jichu also laughed and echoed: "Xiao Nian, I can smell it too."

Although Xiao Nanqing did not participate in their conversation, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was obviously infected by the joyful atmosphere between the three people.

Hearing this, Shen Nianle's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and he suggested: "Then let's guess what kind of braised rice our sister made. Those who guess wrong will have to do the laundry later."

When Shen Nian'an heard that he had guessed wrong about washing clothes, he immediately perked up. He sniffed it carefully and said, "I guess our sister made stewed rice with beans and potatoes. The aroma clearly has the flavor of beans and potatoes."

Li Jichu thought about it and replied, "I think it might be the Chinese sausage stewed rice. Sister Nian Nian loves to make Chinese sausage stewed rice for us the most."

Xiao Nanqing looked at the three people making a fuss, smiled slightly, and said: "I won't guess. Whether I win or not, I have to wash clothes."

When Shen Nianle heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Cousin, this is really a spoiler. Guess one!"

Xiao Nanqing looked at him helplessly and said, "Okay, then I guess it's potato stew with rice."

Seeing that the three had finished guessing, Shen Nianle chuckled again and said, "Then I guess eggplant stewed with rice. I smell the scent of eggplant and minced meat!"

After Shen Nianle finished speaking, he looked like you three are doomed to lose.

Then he stood up and ran to the kitchen, poking his head in and sniffing hard: "Sister, did you make eggplant tonight?"

Hearing this, Shen Nian looked at his actions with some amusement and replied, "Yeah, Xiaole, how come your nose is so sharp? You can even smell the smell of the burnt eggplant I just had."

Shen Nianle, who had been feeling somewhat complacent after hearing Shen Nian's previous words, suddenly lost his expression after hearing the latter part.

He wailed, "Ah? Sister, you're making fried eggplant today, not eggplant stewed with rice?"

Shen Nian looked at him innocently: "No, today we made beans and potatoes with rice. Do you want eggplant with rice?"

"I don't want to eat eggplant stewed rice, I made a bet with Xiaochu and the others..." Shen Nianle told Shen Nian dejectedly about the small bet the four of them had just made.

Shen Nian laughed so hard in the kitchen when she heard this. She wiped her hands, walked over and said:

"Alright, alright, Xiaole, stop howling. Today I'm making beans and potatoes with rice. Xiaoan guessed right. Go out and see if they've finished washing the crayfish. If they have, bring them in."

Shen Nianle walked back to the well dejectedly. When Shen Nian'an and the other two saw his expression, they knew that he was wrong.

But Shen Nian'an didn't intend to let him go, and continued to ask: "Xiao Le, who among the four of us guessed correctly?"

Shen Nianle replied dejectedly, "You guessed it right. My sister made beans and potatoes with rice."

After Shen Nianle finished speaking, he suddenly howled again: "The smell of eggplant I smelled was correct, but my sister made roasted eggplant today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an and the other two couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Nanqing patted Shen Nianle's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Le, although you guessed wrong, your nose is still quite sensitive."

Shen Nianle rolled his eyes at him: "Thank you, but your comfort doesn't comfort me."

Shen Nian'an took the washed crayfish to the kitchen, and the remaining three continued to wash clothes.

The stewed rice with beans and potatoes was ready. Shen Nian put it into a bowl on the side and started to stir-fry the lobster.

Shen Nian skillfully heated oil in a pan, added ginger and garlic and stir-fried until fragrant, then poured in the crayfish and stir-fried until red, then poured in water and covered the pot.

The four of them gathered in the kitchen, staring at the pot that was emitting fragrant aroma.

Shen Nian laughed and teased them, "I told you to eat the braised rice first, but you insisted on waiting for the crayfish. Don't worry, it will be ready in a few minutes."

Shen Nianle sniffed, holding her rumbling stomach and said stubbornly, "Sister, we can still wait. We're not very hungry."

Shen Nian watched his actions, shook her head with a smile, and didn't expose him. She opened the lid of the pot and proceeded to the next step of processing the crayfish.

When the crayfish, braised rice, and a dish of cold-mixed eggplant were served on the table, Shen Nianle and the other three finally couldn't hold back any longer.

At the same time, he shoveled two mouthfuls of stewed rice, and then couldn't wait to pick up a crayfish.

Shen Nian'an put the crayfish into Shen Nian's bowl, then picked up a piece of cold eggplant with chopsticks and put it into Shen Nianle's bowl.

"Xiao Le, didn't you say you smelled eggplant? I think you must want to eat eggplant yourself." Shen Nian'an said, and looked at Shen Nianle innocently.

Shen Nianle glared at Shen Nian'an, then stuffed the eggplant he picked up into his mouth and chewed it hard.

Shen Nian'an finished the stewed rice in the bowl before he remembered what the four of them had forgotten.

He looked up at Shen Nian: "Sister, did you know that Shi Shengxia and Zhou Jindong fell off the cliff this afternoon?"

Shen Nian nodded and looked at him. "I know. When Li Youjia came to see the captain, he happened to be with me at the chicken farm."

"Sister, why didn't you follow the captain and the others to the back mountain? Don't you love to join in the fun?" Shen Nianle asked curiously.

Shen Nian looked at him helplessly: "Do you think your sister can join in the fun? Don't let it go and end up in trouble instead of joining in the fun."

"Sister, if you hadn't gone, this trouble would have come to you."

Shen Nianle said this, taking a bite of the lobster head, looking helpless.
