Chapter 253: Vegetable Tofu Soup (Plus for the Alliance Leader of the Cat Who Can't Code!)
Because Sun Jikai was drunk in advance, the skewer dinner ended earlier than expected, and when Ji Yue returned home with the packed crayfish, it was only 10:40.
Ji Xue really didn't sleep as she expected, and was still busy in the kitchen, but it didn't look like she was stir-frying, it seemed like she was making soup.
Ji Yue approached the kitchen and smelled the smell of green vegetable and tofu soup.
"You're back!" Ji Xue's apron hadn't been taken off yet, "Come and try the vegetable tofu soup I cooked." ”
"Vegetable tofu soup?" Ji Yue put the crayfish on the table and went into the kitchen to look.
It is indeed vegetable tofu soup, not only green vegetables, but also green beans, lettuce, oily wheat cabbage, baby cabbage, cabbage and cabbage, all the vegetables that Ji Xue took back from the back kitchen today are in this pot of soup.
It's not just vegetable tofu soup, it's also a smorgasbord of green vegetables.
Because of the addition of tofu, the color of the soup is a little milky white, and the vegetables are chopped and mixed together, intermingled with the white and tender tofu in all directions, which is very light and elegant.
With so many kinds of vegetables and tofu mixed together to make soup, it is the first time that Ji Yue has seen it.
"Ah Xue, how did you come up with the idea of making this soup?" Ji Yue got closer and sniffed it, it smelled good, it should be quite delicious.
Ji Yue had just eaten so much greasy and heavy barbecue, and she had eaten a pound of crayfish, and the smell of burping on the way back was a little oily.
Ji Xue boiled this pot of light and greasy, green and healthy vegetable tofu soup, which is in line with Ji Yue's heart.
"My family often cooks this soup, and my sister likes to drink it. It's just that the price of green beans has always been relatively high, and my family usually cooks this soup without adding green beans. Ji Xue explained, "I know that you can't draw a manuscript these days and feel annoyed, and you go to the East Gate to eat barbecue every day to relax, but if you eat like this every day, your stomach will definitely not be able to stand it, and drinking this light soup is just to relieve your greasy." ”
"Ah, Ah Xue, I love you so much!" Ji Yue gave Ji Xue a bear hug of love, and went to get a bowl of soup to drink.
The taste of the vegetable tofu soup is very light, and Ji Yue guessed that Ji Xue may not have added anything but salt and not even drip sesame oil, but the taste was unexpectedly good.
If the barbecue and crayfish eaten tonight are compared to rich, colorful, gorgeous and heavy oil paintings, then the vegetable and tofu soup made by Ji Xue is elegant, light, gentle and pleasant, plain and elegant.
"It's delicious! It's super delicious!" Ji Yue never skimped on her praise, "In fact, in the future, I will drink this after eating barbecue, it is simply delicious!"
"If you like it, if you like. Ji Xue was also happy, "A customer suggested that there was no light soup in the store, so I thought I could sell this soup in the store." ”
"Absolutely, your soup is definitely light enough, and it's delicious, it's definitely fine!" Ji Yue encouraged Ji Xue.
"I'll make it for a few more days to see if other dishes will taste better, and the restaurant is trying dishes on the 27th, and there is still more than a week to go. Ji Xue turned around and continued to clean up the household garbage in the kitchen.
Ji Yue stood in the kitchen with a soup bowl and drank soup, Ji Xue cleaned the kitchen with her hands and feet, and was about to take the garbage bag downstairs and throw it away, but was stopped by Ji Yue.
"Oops, I patronized the soup and forgot about it. Ah Xue, don't throw away the garbage first, the crayfish I brought back to you on the table, you ate the crayfish first, there is soup in it, and I picked up the garlic leaves and ginger slices for you. You'd better eat it now, or it might not taste good tomorrow. Ji Yue put the soup bowl down, went to the table and took out the packing box and opened it, "Let me tell you that this garlic crayfish in their house is very delicious, it is just fragrant and has no garlic flavor at all, you will definitely like it." ”
"I ......" Ji Xue hesitated.
"What am I, how much have I eaten the dishes you have made these days, I am going to eat fat! You have to eat back for me, you have to gain as many pounds as I get, eat quickly, it's still warm now, and it won't taste good when it's cold!" Ji Yue urged.
"Good ......"
Ji Xue walked to the table at the urging of Ji Yue, put on gloves, and slowly and slightly clumsily began to peel shrimp.
The crayfish in the hand is still warm, with an attractive fragrance and rich juice. The size of the crayfish is very large, the shell of the shrimp is dark red and a little black, and the shell is very hard, which has caused a lot of obstacles for a novice shrimp peeler like Ji Xue.
It took Ji Xue two or three minutes to peel the first shrimp, and the lobster meat that was not very tight was peeled by her.
This barbecue restaurant in the east gate also has a hand in roasting crayfish, each shrimp has an open back, and the juice enters the shrimp meat, dyeing the original white shrimp meat into a reddish color, salty, fresh and spicy.
Ji Xue hadn't eaten crayfish for many years.
Her father was a chef, and his cooking skills were not very high, and the family used to run a small restaurant and was quite wealthy. Ji Xue has been exposed to it since she was a child, helping the family's restaurant to cut and serve vegetables, which can barely be called a family history. is also because of this, after a series of accidents at home, Ji Xue will choose to drop out of school and work in a restaurant.
Her happy childhood ended when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 7 years old.
Her mother was diagnosed with mid-stage breast cancer, and after a year of painful and desperate chemotherapy, she had to have it removed.
Soon after, her father was diagnosed with diabetes. At that time, Ji Xue's mother was still undergoing chemotherapy, and his father had no time to pay attention to his condition, so he had to take care of her mother while running a restaurant business, which led to a rapid deterioration of his condition, which led to complications and blindness.
By the time Ji Xue was thirteen years old, her family was already in debt, her father's diabetes was worsening, and he had begun to develop uremia, and his blindness caused by complications had not improved.
Also in the same year, she chose to drop out of school and went to Tan's small restaurant to work as an apprentice in the back kitchen, with a monthly salary of 800.
The reason why she chose to go to the Tan family restaurant was simple, she was under 14 at the time, and other stores didn't dare to ask for her, only the owner of the Tan family's restaurant, who was the son of Master Tan, was willing to accept her. Willing is also very simple, she is young, the price is low, she has no contract, she is easy to squeeze, she does no less work than others, and she is a cheap labor force that is easy to bully.
Now she is 19 years old, and life does not seem to be much better for her, her mother's breast cancer has been cured, but her father's diabetes has turned into uremia, even if there is a kidney source to replace the kidney, their family cannot afford the operation.
She is still the same as before, she doesn't dare to eat, she doesn't dare to wear, she doesn't dare to rest, she doesn't dare to stop.
The good things she tasted in her childhood, the snacks and snacks that only exist in her memory, such as crayfish, milk tea, lollipops, potato chips, and barbecue, have faded out of her world and become her untouchable dreams.
But now, she seems to be living in a dream.
Her boss is nice, her co-workers are nice, her friends are nice, her roommates are nice.
The touch on the hand is real, and the taste in the mouth is real.
"Ah Xue, I see that you are tired today, it's almost eleven o'clock, go wash and sleep after you finish eating. I'll clean it up, I'll draw a picture later, and I'll have to drink some soup here. Ji Yue said in the kitchen.
"Good. ”
Ji Xue remembered a poem her mother taught her when she was a child.
Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju.
Bandit retribution, always think it is good!
Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao.
Bandit retribution, always think it is good!
Vote for me with Mu Li, and repay it with Qiongjiu.
Bandit retribution, always think it is good!
