At dinner, Liu Qingshan looked at his favorite braised pork on the table, and hurriedly picked the largest piece and put it in his mouth.

But as soon as it entered his mouth, he suddenly spit it out again.

"Dad, Dad, do you use salt as sugar? Why is it so salty? You can't eat it at all. ”

Seeing his son's painful look, Liu Yuanhe picked up a piece of braised pork, washed it in a bowl of boiled water in front of him, and put it in his mouth.

While chewing the braised pork, he learned Liu Qingshan's tone and said: "I fry my own dishes, I can put as much salt as I like, what's your business?"

As soon as Liu Qingshan heard this, Huo immediately understood. Dare to love this old man is competing with him.

Yes, you have your schemes, and I have my wishful thinking.

Putting down the chopsticks, Liu Qingshan found a jar of sugar. I scooped two spoonfuls of sugar into a clean empty bowl, then picked up the largest piece of braised pork, dipped some sugar into the bowl, and ate it with relish.

Seeing that her son was eating braised pork that was so salty that he couldn't eat it, and he was enjoying it, Wu Cuimei was afraid that he was holding on, so she persuaded: "Oh, Qingshan, don't eat if you can't eat it, it's not good to eat bad stomach." ”

"Mom, it's okay, you can try a piece too. ”

"No, no, no, I just ate a piece, it's so salty that I'm not going to eat it. Wu Cuimei hurriedly refused.

But her son didn't listen to her at all, so he sandwiched a piece of braised pork, dipped it in sugar, and put it in her bowl.

The meat is in the bowl, and you can't eat it.

Wu Cuimei had no choice but to frown, reluctantly putting the braised pork into her mouth.

Hey, something strange happened.

The braised pork dipped in white sugar is not so salty, and it seems to be strangely delicious.

"Strange, why isn't this so salty?" Wu Cuimei asked with a look of surprise.

Liu Qingshan proudly raised his eyebrows at his father, and smiled at his mother: "Mom, this white sugar can neutralize the salty taste, and it can also make the salty taste softer, so if you put more salt in the dish, just put some white sugar." ”

"I see. Wu Cuimei took a piece of braised pork by herself, dipped it in some sugar, and put it in her mouth.

Well, not to mention, the taste does have a different flavor.

Seeing that he couldn't tease his son, Liu Yuanhe felt uncomfortable, so he talked about the flower pots again: "You said you, what are you buying so many flower pots for? You can't eat it, you can't exchange it for money, it's useless at all." ”

"Yes, Qingshan, what are you buying so many flower pots for?" Wu Cuimei was also a little curious. Originally, she didn't want to care, but she really couldn't understand what those flower pots were for, so she followed her husband and asked.

Liu Qingshan stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and said, "I buy them, of course they have my use, don't want everything to be related to money, okay?"

"Five hundred dollars. Liu Yuanhe snorted unhappily, "Last time I gave someone a few oranges, and you were still screaming there, and now you spend five hundred yuan to buy some useless things and come back, we can't talk about you anymore?"

Although Wu Cuimei wanted to help her son speak, she felt that Liu Yuanhe's words were reasonable, so she only ate and was too lazy to speak.

Liu Qingshan did not show weakness: "Can that be the same? You gave oranges to others for nothing, and I spent the least amount of money to buy something of great value, can these two things be confused? Besides, I am in my twenties, what is wrong with me spending the money I earn to buy something I like?"

If you look at the young people in the village who are about the same age as me, their salary is only four or five thousand yuan a month, but who doesn't dress up like a boy? Not only do they buy all kinds of beautiful clothes and shoes, but they also follow the trend to buy iPhones, and they often go out drinking with friends. I don't like any of these, I just like flowers and plants, so I spent 500 yuan to buy some flower pots, what's wrong?"

These words made the old couple stunned for a moment.

Liu Yuanhe also had nothing to say.

Because what my son said was really good. The young people in the village who were the same age as him, or who were older than him, went to the factory and worked overtime, and their monthly salary was only four or five thousand yuan, which was equivalent to their son's income for a few days now.

But those young people don't know how to be frugal at all, not only learn from the city people to consume, but also learn from the city people to pretend to be broad, and at the end of the year, there are a few young people in the village who don't even have a fare to go home, and they have to take care of their parents.

Compared with these ignorant young people, their son Liu Qingshan is too sensible. After dropping out of school as a teenager, he went out to work, worked as a waiter in a restaurant, entered a factory, and went to a construction site, and every penny he earned was used on the cutting edge.

He never dared to spend money indiscriminately, let alone learn from others to buy gorgeous clothes and expensive mobile phones, for fear that when the family needed money, he would not be able to come up with the money himself.

If they can have such a son, what else do they have to complain about?

After thinking about this, Liu Yuanhe didn't talk about the flower pot anymore.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Wu Cuimei looked at her son with a smile and asked, "Qingshan, I heard that you can also watch other people cook on your phone, right?"

Liu Qingshan looked up at his mother a little confused, and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"You open it up and show it to me, so that I can learn it too, so that I can cook more delicious food for you in the future." ”

Liu Qingshan smiled: "That's no problem, I'll show you when we eat." ”

After eating, Liu Yuanhe was sent to wash the dishes, while Wu Cuimei sat on the sofa with her son and looked at her mobile phone together.

Liu Qingshan opened the short video software, found a blogger who specializes in food, and then clicked on one of the short videos.

The video is only a few minutes long, but Wu Cuimei has watched with her own eyes the process of a dish evolving from an ingredient to a dish.

"It's amazing. Wu Cuimei sighed soulfully, "This person's movements are too fast, making a braised fish, turning from raw fish into a vegetable, is a fart effort." ”

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Mom, where is this fart kung fu, don't look at the video in your phone for a while, but in fact, people have been filming for a long time, and then shortened it into such a video." ”

Wu Cuimei nodded as if she didn't understand: "Oh, so that's the case, the method of this braised fish looks different from ours." I'll try one when I have time. Aoyama, let's see if there is anything else. ”

Liu Qingshan opened the homepage again and ordered a few videos for his mother to watch.

Every time she watches a video, Wu Cuimei has to sigh, on the one hand, she feels the progress of science and technology, and on the other hand, she naturally sighs that the food of the people in the city is really good.

"This big crab costs a hundred dollars a pound. Wu Cuimei stared at the brightly colored crab in her mobile phone, swallowing her saliva and saying, "I don't know if it's delicious or not, I seem to be blowing a lot on TV." ”

Seeing his mother like this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile and lied: "It's not expensive, Mom, don't brag about these things on TV, in fact, they are not worth much, and they are the same price as pork." ”

"Ah, the same price as pork?" Wu Cuimei looked at her son with her eyes shining, "Really, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"Of course it's true, why am I lying to you?" Liu Qingshan was next to his mother, hugged his mother's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Mom, these crabs are really worthless, only twenty or thirty yuan a catty." ”

Hearing her son say this, Wu Cuimei had an idea in her heart: "Since this is the case, then don't buy pork the day after tomorrow, and buy some crabs to come back." Neither your dad nor I have ever eaten a crab. ”

"Okay, no problem. Liu Qingshan said angrily, "Anyway, it's not expensive, it's the same price as pork, I won't buy pork the day after tomorrow, buy some crabs and come back for you and your dad to taste, okay?"

Wu Cuimei nodded vigorously, full of joy.

Even, at night, I still dreamed that I was eating crabs.

Early the next morning, Wu Cuimei got up, thinking about the crab in her dream last night, and even drinking oil tea felt tasteless.

Seeing this, Liu Qingshan asked why.

Wu Cuimei told her about eating crabs in a dream she had last night.

Liu Yuanhe sneered: "What's so delicious about that crab? I actually dream of eating crabs, it's too unproductive." ”

Wu Cuimei didn't bother to take care of Liu Yuanhe, but asked her son, "Qingshan, you said you would buy crabs tomorrow, is it true?"

Seeing that my mother was a little crazy thinking about crabs, Liu Qingshan naturally had to give my mother a 100% affirmation: "Mom, really, absolutely true, I don't lie to you, I will definitely buy crabs back tomorrow, don't worry, you will wait to eat tomorrow." ”

Hearing her son's affirmative answer, Wu Cuimei laughed happily, and then she felt that the oil tea in her mouth tasted.
