Chapter 125: Rose Sugar
When the parents of the two sides met, it was more formal, and the grandmother felt that the boy in front of her was serious, which she was very satisfied with, but just now she heard Xiang Qiu mention something in the kitchen, and the conditions of his family should be very good.
They don't want each other to have any rich family background, they just look at this child is good, good-looking and knowledgeable, mainly because they are very interested in pomelo, but they don't know what the attitude of each other's parents is, and whether they will dislike their family.
On weekdays, my grandmother also watched TV dramas, and nine out of ten of the big families on TV were married arranged by their parents, and the children were broken up by themselves.
Therefore, my grandmother is happy and worried, and she says that life is far more bloody than TV dramas, and this kind of thing must not be touched by pomelo.
In the final analysis, satisfaction is satisfaction, but once it returns to the real problem, it is still necessary to face the reality.
"At the moment they don't know. Xiao Muchun replied truthfully, afraid that his grandmother would misunderstand, he explained, "Didn't I just settle down with Yuyu, so I haven't had time to tell them about it, but don't worry, as long as your second elder agrees, there is no problem on my parents' side." ”
Hearing him say this, my grandmother put a little bit of heart, and her parents should be no different if she can teach such a good child.
But she still wasn't at ease, "Take the time to mention this to them first, and listen to what they mean." ”
Xiao Muchun nodded, "What my grandmother said is that I will call my parents when I go back tonight and tell them the good news." ”
"There's no need to rush it. Grandma smiled, politely, but she was already very satisfied with Xiao Muchun's execution.
They said that theirs, Xiang Yuyu only cares about eating, and it seems that she has nothing to do anyway.
And Xiang Qiu except for Mu Mu to pick up some dishes, his two eyes have been looking at his mother, but he didn't interject, he wanted to say a word or two just now, but his mother glanced at him as soon as he opened his mouth, so he could only hold back again.
That's her daughter, she doesn't even have the right to speak......
"Look, let's just talk, the food is cold, Xiao Xiao, you sit, I'll heat the food, and it hurts my stomach to eat cold. Grandma took a bite of the dish and found that it was cold, so she took it off and took it hot.
Xiang Yuyu was stretching out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and the plate under it was taken away without warning......
It's empty, and she has been eating cold dishes for a long time, and no one cares, why can't Xiao Muchun eat it? Xiang Yuyu flattened his mouth, looked at his mother, and Xiang Qiu shook his head at her, indicating that he couldn't do anything.
Who dares to say that grandma is partial.
It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes, and their family is a grandmother who looks at her son-in-law, and others are not in their eyes.
A table of people sat there, watching her grandmother busy heating the dishes, the old lady looked radiant and happy, and no one could bear to interrupt her joyful mood, so she silently watched her busy work.
When the plates were warm, she sat down again and beckoned everyone to eat.
I sandwiched several pieces of fish for Xiao Muchun in a row, "Eat more while it's hot." ”
"Grandma, you can eat too, I'll just come by myself. Xiao Muchun was a little flattered, at this table, his grandmother's preference for him was obvious to all.
"Okay, then you should eat more," his grandmother told him, as if she was afraid that he would not be able to eat enough because of his politeness.
"Thank you, Grandma, this fish tastes so good. "Xiao Muchun's words are not hypocritical, they are indeed delicious.
Grandma smiled, "You have to like to eat, come tomorrow, grandma will make it for you." ”
Xiao Muchun immediately agreed happily.
"Your old craftsmanship is really first-class, and the taste of roses is really unique and special. He was full of praise as he ate.
"Oh, you see I'm so confused. Grandma suddenly slapped her thigh, which startled everyone, and they didn't know why, so they all looked at her and waited for the following.
Grandma looked at Xiao Muchun and said embarrassedly, "Just now I originally wanted to tell you the origin of this rose fish. ”
"Hahaha----" everyone laughed.
Xiang Yuyu smiled and said, "Grandma, you didn't get off the wrong track, but your head was too far." "It all started with her childhood, and she has to talk about when to go.
Everyone laughed louder.
Grandma laughed too.
At the dinner table of five people, there was laughter and laughter.
"When people are old, they talk a lot, don't talk about it, don't say it, when the time comes, think of me for nagging, and then scare my son-in-law away." Grandma smiled and waved her hand.
"No, no, Grandma, I love to hear you. Xiao Muchun said loudly that only loud can drown out everyone's laughter.
He likes this atmosphere very much, happy, happy for no reason, inexplicably happy, and he doesn't know what happened after laughing, how can it be so funny.
"Do you really like to listen to grandma?" there was an audience, and grandma was obviously very happy.
Xiao Muchun said seriously, "I really like it, you are old and humorous, so many ups and downs, difficult times have not only come strongly, but also so optimistic and happy, it is not easy, you can be a model, I want to learn from your spirit." ”
Grandma gave a thumbs up, "You said well, my old woman didn't dare to say anything else, she was strong, I recognized it." She pursed her lips tightly, nodded heavily, and said sonorously and forcefully, "If I wasn't strong, I wouldn't be alive now." ”
If you weren't strong, you would have been angry with Xiang An a long time ago, and the hardest thing in life is to raise an unfilial son.
Xiang Qiu leaned over and hugged her, "Mom." Grandma patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to sit back, "Don't say you're unhappy today, don't want to be unhappy, today is a happy day." ”
"I wish my grandmother joy every day. Xiao Muchun didn't know the inside story, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
Grandma looked at him happily, "Okay, you often come to grandma and you are happy every day." ”
"As long as you don't get bored, it's okay to come every day. Xiao Muchun smiled like a fox again.
"It's not annoying, it's not annoying. Grandma hurriedly said, "I love to be lively, and it is fragrant when there are many people." ”
Xiao Muchun's smile became sincere, "Grandma, then tell me how to make this rose fish." "It's not just about putting the petals horizontally.
"Okay, I'll be much shorter this time, and you can remind me if I get off the hook. Seeing that he was really willing to listen, my grandmother was also happy to say, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she stopped and looked at everyone, "Where did I just say?"
Everyone started laughing again, but with restraint.
Mu Mu was almost full of food, and at this time, he raised his little face, looked at everyone, and then looked at his grandmother, and reminded him seriously, "Grandma, you just said that you saw Sister Yuzu eating flowers." ”
Grandma patted her head, "Yes, yes, yes, it seems to be here." Then he pointed his finger at Qiu, Xiang Yuyu, and Xiao Muchun one by one, "Look at a few of you, it's not as good as a child's memory, you know how to laugh." ”
Everyone couldn't hold back their laughter.
Grandma ignored them and said to herself, "I felt uncomfortable when I saw grapefruit eating petals, but then I thought about it, I can eat wild fruits, wild vegetables and everything, why can't flowers be eaten, of course they can be eaten, but it can't be eaten directly like this, it doesn't taste good, so I thought of a way."
Tear off a petal of roses, and put it in the jar like a wild vegetable to pickle it, not to mention, it is really crooked, and the altar is quite delicious after a few days, and then the grapefruit is greedy, I will take a small dish out for her to eat, but it can also coax her.
At first, it was made like ordinary pickles, but when the conditions improved, not only sugar but also honey was added...... The taste is getting better and better, and pomelo often eats a plate when it's okay.
One day when I was cooking, I found that the salt ran out, and in a flash of inspiration, I put some pickled rose petals into it, and the taste was surprisingly good.
After several improvements, it finally developed into the current plate of rosefish on the table. ”
After grandma finished speaking, Xiao Muchun sighed, "This process is really long, over the years, the pickled seasonings should have been improved several times, as you said, I want to have a plate of pickled roses to taste." ”
Xiang Yuyu interfaced, "Later, the name is also good, it's called rose candy." ”
"Rose Sugar?"
Grandma smiled and said, "In order to be more suitable for eating as a snack, it has less salt and more sugar, and it has a sweet taste, so it is called rose sugar, which is smoother than pickled roses." Glancing at Yuzu, he whispered, "Didn't you coax her to play." ”
"Grandma, I heard you whispering. Xiang Yuzu replied coquettishly.
Grandma laughed, "You girl, go quickly, give Xiao Xiao Sheng a plate." ”
Taking advantage of Xiang Yuyu's time to go to the kitchen, her grandmother said to Xiao Muchun, "I thought you wouldn't like this kind of shoddy food, but I didn't expect you to be very interested." ”
"Eat in the folk, many traditional delicacies are only authentic in the folk, and there are home-made side dishes that are much better than those in big hotels. ”
Grandma nodded and chuckled, "You said well, if you really want to eat, home-cooked side dishes are the healthiest and most nourishing for the stomach." ”
He brought out a plate of rose candy to Yuzu, scooped a spoonful of it into a bowl himself, and then placed the plate in front of him.
Seeing Xiao Muchun's food with relish, my grandmother said happily, "There is still a jar in the kitchen, if you like it, I will put some for you later and take it back to eat." ”
Xiang Qiu reminded in a low voice, "Mom, people just want to taste it, where do you have to take it back to eat." ”
Xiao Muchun raised his head and said seriously, "I want it, I want it, thank you grandma." ”
He turned his eyes to look at Yuzu, "Yuzu, no wonder you like to eat, it's really delicious." ”
Rose sugar is a little sour to taste, but the right sweetness covers part of the sourness, and it becomes just right, and it is sweet in the mouth, fragrant in the lips and teeth, and because it is full of love from the elders, it has a happy taste.
Suddenly, he looked at the bowl of Xiangyu, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Yuzu, why don't you eat fish, such a delicious fish." ”
In the interval between chatting before, he also noticed that Xiang Yuyu seemed to have been eating other dishes and barely touched the plate of fish, but he had been talking to his grandmother, and he didn't care about anything else out of politeness.
As she spoke, she wanted to clip a piece of fish for her, but her grandmother stretched out her hand to stop her, and she said happily, "It's good for you to eat, pomelo doesn't eat much fish." ”
