The Li family still has a lot of relatives.

Li Mingyi has a sister-in-law uncle, two uncles, and more than a dozen cousins, and even he himself has two sisters and a few younger brothers and sisters.

Li Mingyi's uncles are not angry, they all rely on his father for their inability, and their younger brothers and cousins are not brilliant, and it is precisely because of this that even if there are many young masters of the Li family, if you mention the young masters of the Li family outside, you will only think of Li Mingyi alone.

Li Mingyi's eldest sister divorced his eldest brother-in-law a few months ago and came back with her daughter. Li Ming felt that it was nothing, his eldest brother-in-law was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking opium, and his aunt and wife had married three or four, and now it was New China, and it was not difficult for his eldest sister to divorce and remarry.

But Li Mingyi's mother, Liu Xiuzhen, is a knowledgeable young lady taught by a traditional feudal family, and she thinks that her daughter's divorce is divorce, which is a big ugly thing, and she didn't give her eldest daughter a good look during the New Year.

Now the daughters of the whole family are gathered around the old lady, making the old lady happy and begging for a good fortune during the New Year.

"Xiuzhen, where has my granddaughter-in-law gone?" The old lady liked Jiang Huiqin, and she asked Liu Xiuzhen when she couldn't see her for a long time.

"Xiaohe, you go to find the young lady, and by the way, look for Mingyi, it's almost time for New Year's dinner, and these two people don't know where to go. Liu Xiuzhen instructed the maid.

The maid was about to go out, and bumped into Jiang Huiqin running in with a food box.

"Grandma, grandma, guess what I did for you!"

"I smell it, sweet potatoes, and you remember that I like to eat sweet potatoes!" the old lady laughed.

"I've done a good job today, double the sugar, you're sure to like it. I brought it over as soon as it came out of the pot, it's still hot, you can taste it!" Jiang Huiqin moved the teacup in the old lady's hand, put the sweet potato on it, and handed each person a pair of chopsticks.

The relatives of the Li family are all counted, how many female relatives will accompany the old lady at this time Jiang Huiqin is very clear in her heart, just after all the hair, one pair is not much, one pair is not much.

"I even went to the kitchen for the New Year, and I wasn't afraid of getting my clothes dirty. Liu Xiuzhen reprimanded in a low voice, "What about Mingyi, where did he run again, I didn't see him in the front hall just now." ”

"Akichi was just in the kitchen with me, and he should be behind me right now. Jiang Huiqin said.

Liu Xiuzhen was even more angry: "He actually accompanied you to mess around, it's really unusual." ”

"Okay, Xiuzhen's New Year's Day, don't scold Huiqin's daughter-in-law, she just wants to make my old woman happy. Huiqin learned this craft from his brother, and you have a good day today. The old lady smiled and said to the others.

"Just say two more words, how can it be regarded as scolding. Liu Xiuzhen said, "Mother, it's not time to eat yet, isn't it a little bad to eat it directly?"

"If you don't eat the sweet potato while it's hot, you won't be able to pull the silk when it's cold, and Huiqin won't do it in vain. Some time ago, I heard Mingyi tell me what foreigners have a pre-dinner dessert, and we will learn from them and try this pre-dinner dessert first. The old lady said with a smile and took a piece of sweet potato.

Long thin shredded sugar was withdrawn from the syrup on the surface of the sweet potato, but Master Chen was right, Jiang Huiqin's level of frying sugar and pulling silk was not at home, and the sugar shreds were not fine enough, and they broke quickly.

But the taste is generally okay, the sweet potato is yellow in color, crispy on the skin, and soft and glutinous on the inside.

The old lady is old, her sense of taste has deteriorated greatly, and many dishes with heavy oil and sauce taste a little bland to her. Jiang Huiqin's dish was specially made for her, and the double sugar was exactly what she wanted.

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law's skills have improved again. The old lady smiled and boasted.

Li Mingyi was actually at the door a long time ago, Jiang Feng didn't know what kind of hobby he was, he liked to stand at the door and eavesdrop on the people inside, or he was afraid of going in early to be scolded by Liu Xiuzhen, seeing that the time was almost up, and the atmosphere was also very active, Liu Xiuzhen estimated that he couldn't scold him if he wanted to, so he pretended to come in as if he had just arrived.

"Yo, as soon as Ming is here, your mother was still talking about where you have been. The old lady beckoned to Ming, took another bite of the sweet potato, chewed it slowly, and then said, "Your daughter-in-law's skills have improved again." ”

"That's not grandma, I was watching it in the back kitchen just now, and even Master Chen praised Huiqin for doing a good job. Li Ming came as soon as he opened his mouth to lie, "I just saw that the kitchen side has almost prepared, and I guess it will be time to start the meal in a while." ”

"Come, Xiuzhen, you can also taste your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship. The old lady clipped another piece.

Liu Xiuzhen actually doesn't like to eat sweets, she believes in Buddhism, has a light taste, and rarely even touches meat, but since the old lady spoke, she also smiled and grabbed a chopstick.

This plate of old lady's special version of double white sugar and sweet potato is a critical blow to Liu Xiuzhen, but she still has no change in her face and heartbeat, and she eats it very calmly, and praises: "Not bad." ”

The old lady was even happier when she heard that even Liu Xiuzhen praised this plate of shredded sweet potatoes, and beckoned everyone to eat, but even Li Mingyi did not fall.

Everyone stretched out their chopsticks one after another, and praised the deliciousness in unison, as for how many of them were genuinely delicious, it was unknown.

Li Mingyi took Jiang Huiqin's chopsticks and pinched a large piece, but unfortunately he didn't get home with his face-changing kung fu, and he almost showed his stuffing on the spot. Fortunately, he was witty and pretended to be in a hurry, choked until he coughed a few times, and then he was fooled.

The old lady was in a good mood, and for the first time she ate three pieces of sweet potatoes, and pulled everyone to talk for a while, and a maid came in.

"Old lady, ladies and ladies, it turns out that the eldest young master is also here, and the eldest master invited a Western photographer, saying that he wanted to take a family photo together. The maid said.

"The Western photographer is really fresh, let's go. The old lady laughed, and the crowd followed her.

"Huiqin, the sweet potato you burned today is really too sweet. Li Mingyi secretly grabbed Jiang Huiqin, deliberately fell behind everyone, and complained in a low voice.

"You know, grandma can't taste it when she's old, and this sweetness is the most suitable for grandma. Jiang Huiqin whispered, "If you don't like it, everyone will go back to the room after the New Year's dinner, and I will secretly go to the kitchen to make another dish for you." ”

"Let's go, if there is a sweet taste in your mouth, wait for you to drink two more bowls of soup, I just saw it in the kitchen, matsutake mushrooms shipped from Yunnan, don't you like to drink matsutake soup?" Jiang Huiqin urged.

The couple held hands and quickly followed the crowd.
