Chapter 665: Gan Cai Family Banquet!
"Today is a good day to meet again, everyone should be happy. ”
Ke Qing persuaded him that he couldn't see this kind of scene, his tear ducts were more developed, and he also wiped his tears.
Cao Ruiyan also had red eyes, he didn't expect his mother and Ru Xue to meet and recognize each other so naturally and hug each other, maybe this is the magic of blood relationship.
After a long time, the emotions of the two finally stabilized.
Mu Yingqiu pulled Tao Ruxue to the living room, and the two began to communicate softly.
Seeing that the scene of recognizing relatives went more smoothly than expected, Qiao Zhi walked into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
Cao Ruiyan sat in the corner, feeling bored, and subconsciously pulled out a Brazilian mosquito coil, which was found and confiscated by Mu Yingqiu as soon as possible.
"If you have children at home and want to smoke, please go out. ”
Cao Ruiyan smiled dumbly, "I won't smoke it, won't it be successful?"
Cao Ruiyan looked at the house, the space is not particularly large, and there are more people living in it, but he feels very good to himself, and it is a warm family.
In particular, Ke Qing gave a good impression, and it can be seen that she loves her daughter-in-law very much.
Seeing that the Qiao family was very good to their nieces, Cao Ruiyan was less worried.
He suddenly realized that the words he had said to Qin Youcheng before seemed to be quite immoral.
People's mood will continue to fluctuate with the change of position, Cao Ruiyan didn't know much about the Qiao family before, and instinctively remained vigilant, so he would associate things to the bad side.
Mu Yingqiu kept holding Tao Ruxue's wrist.
Others think that she is similar to Tao Nanfang, and in the eyes of the Cao family, Tao Ruxue is completely derived from Cao Rui's language mold.
Seeing Tao Ruxue, Mu Yingqiu seemed to see her daughter who had been dead for many years.
"Child, before I met you, I was always worried about whether we would be embarrassed, but I didn't expect that the first time I saw you, I felt very familiar. Mu Yingqiu said, "For so many years, you have worked hard. ”
Tao Ruxue shook her head lightly, "I'm not hard, because I only recently learned about my life experience, and you must be even harder, the pain has been hidden in my heart for so many years!"
Mu Yingqiu's eyes showed sadness, "As a parent, my wish is very simple, I hope that my children can be happy and safe, I couldn't believe it when I learned the bad news back then." For the first year or two, I dreamed all night and dreamed of her. As time passed, it was not that I let go of missing her, but that it became a habit to miss her. When I learned that she left you in this world before she died, my heart knot loosened at that moment. ”
Tao Ruxue suddenly grabbed Mu Yingqiu's wrist, "Grandma, can I ask you something." Despite the events of the year, Tao ...... The Tao family has a great responsibility, but the Tao family has nurtured me for more than 20 years, and I also have the blood of the Tao family in my body, can I just stop there?"
Mu Yingqiu's eyes hesitated.
Cao Ruiyan next to him said categorically: "No! One yard is one yard, Tao Nanfang raised you, it is her obligation and responsibility, but we must also avenge your biological mother's revenge! Don't worry, although I will punish her, I will not completely drive her to a dead end." ”
Tao Ruxue persuaded bitterly: "What's the use of revenge? Can my biological mother come back to life?"
Cao Ruiyan sighed secretly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, it's a grievance of our previous generation." ”
"How can I stand by and watch, both sides are my dearest relatives, and no matter which of you is hurt, it will be difficult for me to bear. Tao Ruxue suddenly grabbed Mu Yingqiu's wrist and pleaded sincerely, "Grandma, I will be filial to you and make up for your scars over the years, can you promise me not to pursue what happened back then?"
Mu Yingqiu's face was full of sorrow.
How can the events of the past be said to be in the past?
Tao Ruxue is simple and kind, if she doesn't ask for herself, it means that she has no conscience.
But she couldn't let go easily, because she couldn't get over that hurdle.
"Good boy......" Mu Yingqiu smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else.
The attitude of her uncle and grandmother made Tao Ruxue very worried.
"In a few minutes, you can eat!" Ke Qing walked out of the kitchen, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Tao Ruxue got up and went to the kitchen to prepare tableware and set the table.
Cao Ruiyan was very surprised, and whispered to Mu Yingqiu: "Have dinner at home tonight?"
He had thought he would go to a slightly better restaurant nearby.
Mu Yingqiu glared at Cao Ruiyan, "Isn't eating at home more able to cultivate feelings?"
Cao Ruiyan said lightly: "There are too many people in the family, I'm afraid I won't eat well." ”
Mu Yingqiu was quite helpless about her son's changes.
Cao Ruiyan has been wandering outside for the past few days, and he has made certain achievements, but his personality has also become lonely.
Cao Ruiyan remembered the evaluation of Qiao Zhi in the information.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this guy is that he picks the door.
Is it to save money and prepare this meal at home?
Cao Ruiyan dispelled this idea, Qiao Zhi should not be so LOW.
Perhaps, as my mother said, this arrangement is to increase the atmosphere of recognizing relatives.
Ke Qing helped in the kitchen, "Are we going to go to the restaurant?" ”
Qiao Zhi smiled: "It's easier to enhance feelings at home, not to mention that the meals outside are better than what I cook?"
In fact, Qiao Zhi didn't need anyone to help, Ke Qing was in the kitchen, deliberately leaving space for Tao Ruxue and Mu Yingqiu to communicate alone.
Qiao Zhi successively served six dishes on the table, and the living room was connected to the dining room, so he could smell the enticing aroma.
Qiao Yuanbin went home from work at this time, and Tao Ruxue helped Qiao Yuanbin make an introduction.
Qiao Yuanbin was not good at talking, sat for a while, then entered the room, and waited until it was almost time to start eating, and then came out of the room.
Mu Yingqiu secretly observed that Ru Xue's father-in-law was a quiet, honest and introverted person, which complemented Ke Qing's shrewdness and sensitivity.
"Let's go eat! ”
"I've heard for a long time that he's a top chef, and today it was an eye-opener for me. ”
Cao Ruiyan was slandering in his heart, not believing that Qiao Zhi could do anything shocking at home.
Mu Yingqiu was led by Tao Ruxue to sit beside her, Cao Ruiyan also found a place to sit down, the table was enough for ten people to sit, and the two wet nurses hugged Jun Cheng and Xixi to the table, looking at the two children babbling, Mu Yingqiu felt that her heart melted, and her face was always smiling.
"I'll take a video of the two babies and send it to your grandfather!" Mu Yingqiu took out her mobile phone and took a video of Xi Xi and Jun Cheng eating.
Tao Ruxue said with a smile: "I'll sort out some photos and send them to you later, and you can pass them on to your grandfather." ”
"Well, he's definitely happy. Mu Yingqiu said with emotion.
In order not to disturb the guests, the nurse took the child to sit for a while and then left the restaurant.
Mu Yingqiu's eyes fell on the sand pot, and he said in surprise: "Qingshui fish balls?"
Qiao Zhi explained: "Grandma, I know that you are from Ganzhou, so I specially prepared this Nanfeng Qingshui Fish Ball, you hurry up and try it, I don't know if it is authentic." ”
Cao Ruiyan was silent beside him,
secretly wondered that this kid really had a hand in slapping on the back, and knew how to do what he liked and shorten the distance with his mother.
He glanced at the soup, and it was unremarkable.
Qiao Zhi gave Mu Yingqiu a small bowl, which looked a little light, in addition to the fish balls, there were also a few green chrysanthemum leaves.
"Well, I'll try it now!"
Mu Yingqiu sandwiched a fish ball, smooth and round like a large pearl, and the place where the chopsticks clamped it came with a very strong elasticity.
After being put into the mouth, the surface of the fish ball is in close contact with the mouth, and the teeth touch the fish ball, but there is no bite for a while.
Chewing gently, the fish balls break in the mouth, and the unique flavor of the fish meat blurs on the tip of the tongue, and a second strong impact erupts on the taste buds.
It is indeed the authentic taste of Ganzhou cuisine, but it has more ingenuity from the master than home-cooked food.
Mu Yingqiu took a sip of the clear soup, the taste of the fish balls and the fragrance of chrysanthemum were combined into a fragrant taste, the fish balls could satisfy the hunger of the mouth, and the chrysanthemum perfectly covered up the fishy smell.
Cao Ruiyan was also tasting this clear water fish ball, and the moment he ate it, he realized that he had underestimated this seemingly bland soup.
The small fish balls have a complex, round, and mature flavor, and there are other ingredients added besides the fish, but they definitely do not rob the fish of its umami, but play a perfect role as a foil.
Cao Ruiyan was no stranger to this dish, but for the first time, he knew that Qingshui fish balls could make such an amazing feeling that was endlessly evocative.
The point is that the soup tastes in the throat, which is clear and clear, but it can taste several flavors.
Cao Ruiyan is not a food critic, but at this moment, he has an impulse to describe it with ten thousand emotions.
"In foreign countries, I often eat Western food, and I can only make my own Chinese food, but many ingredients are not available abroad. It's exciting to suddenly eat such authentic Chinese food. Mu Yingqiu sighed.
Cao Ruiyan took a deep breath, held back, and did not speak.
Although Qiao Zhi has a bad temper and likes to raise the bar with himself, he has to say that he has nothing to say about this cooking, there are a lot of honors he has won in the information, and he used to think that he had water, but now he knows that Qiao Zhi is not an ordinary chef.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and any industry, if you can have talent, can achieve great success.
The dissatisfaction or pickiness of Qiao Zhi, unconsciously, has eased a lot because of the impact of food.
"Is this dish a raw stewed duck?" Cao Ruiyan took the initiative to ask.
Raw stewed duck is also a common kind of Gan cuisine, every year after the summer, it is the season of ginger and duck on the market, and the main raw materials of raw stewed duck are ginger and duck. Duck and ginger are cut into small pieces and stir-fried with red pepper, garlic, rice wine, sugar, soy sauce, etc.
Although summer is fast approaching and autumn is approaching, the seasonality is ignored in the choice of ingredients and cooking techniques.
The duck originally had a fishy smell, but under Qiao Zhi's special treatment, it was not fishy at all, and it also had a tea fragrance.
In the process of pickling, Qiao Zhi added tea soup.
Cao Ruiyan picked up a piece of duck and stuffed it into his mouth.
Swallowed in one bite, this is a piece of duck leg meat, and the first thing that makes people feel is the duck skin on the outside.
The duck skin is fried a little crispy, with a full amount of fat, and the slightly hard duck skin that has just been cut off immediately comes into contact with the tender duck meat.
The duck meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a full gravy, mixed with tea-flavored fat and the stimulation of chili peppers.
