Chapter 126: Grandma's Preference
After a few words, the food was served.
There are already some cold dishes, snacks, and some vegetarian dishes on the table. Cover the stir-fry with a dish to prevent the heat from escaping. The dishes were slowly served from the kitchen, and large plates and bowls were instantly filled with the table.
There are a lot of dishes today, and grandma is very attentive, and each dish is something she thinks Li Nanzi may like to eat. This time, he didn't consider Qi Chuan, as if he was a family member who didn't need special care.
"Come on, move your chopsticks, you should be hungry after tossing for so long, right?"
Greeting to eat, grandma just said to Li Nanzi, but occasionally looked at Qi Chuan and Qian Neng, as if they were all incidental.
Li Nanzi was busy responding to her grandmother's enthusiasm and didn't care about Qi Chuan's expression. "Grandma, don't be busy, come and sit down and eat together!"
"You eat first, there's a small river fish on the fire, it's good right away!"
Qi Chuan coughed and sat still, the dissatisfaction on his face overflowing. Grandma went to the kitchen, he didn't have to pretend to be happy, and looked at Li Nanzi unabashedly.
Qian Neng pretended not to see it, and poured a cup of hot ginger cola for everyone, and the one that was given to Qi Chuan was obviously less.
"You also treat them differently?"
"Usually you are not allowed to drink Coke, the sugar content of boiled Coke is still very high, you should come less!" Qian Neng said while looking back, for fear that his grandmother would hear it.
Because it is not easy to push the kindness of the old man, Qian Neng does not mention anything taboo, but if it can be avoided, try to avoid it.
Most people in the countryside think that Coke is very good, and they always think that young people like it, which is a normal mentality.
Li Nanzi glanced at Qi Chuan, thinking that he was just unhappy because of Coke, and smiled and served him chicken soup.
"This chicken soup is so fragrant, it's better than a drink, you can drink more of this!"
"I don't like the taste of mushrooms!"
Qi Chuan took the bowl back, and felt even more aggrieved: Grandma stewed chicken soup with dried bamboo shoots for me every time, and this time I used fresh mushrooms must be because of you!
"This shiitake mushroom looks freshly picked, it's refreshing and creamy, why don't you like it?" Li Nanzi put down the spoon and found that there were more side dishes. "There are also adzuki bean mushrooms and yellow tree mushrooms, which taste beautiful with chicken soup, are you sure you don't want it?"
"Don't!"
"Then what do you want?" Li Nanzi looked at the other dishes, and he didn't know what Qi Chuan liked, so he looked at Qian Neng for help.
"Don't look at it!" Qi Chuan turned Li Nanzi's face over and didn't allow her to look at Qian Neng. "This big table is made for you, you can enjoy it, Ms. Nannan!"
Nannan, grandma's name for Li Nanzi is very affectionate. Li Nanzi doesn't know why Aunt Pan and grandma like to call her like this, is it more gentle and nice?
After a while, grandma came over with a large porcelain bowl. Before I saw the soup, I could already smell it, and the heat wafted the mellow aroma of green onions and river fish, arousing everyone's appetite at the banquet.
Xiaohe fish, finally came a dish that Qi Chuan liked.
"Okay, the dishes are ready, Nannan try it!" As soon as Grandma sat down, she began to serve soup to Li Nanzi. "This is the fish I caught in the river this morning, it's fresh!"
The mountains and rivers here are good, there is basically no pollution, and the fish in the river are naturally extremely delicious.
As a child who grew up in the mountains, he is naturally familiar with the delicacies of the mountains, and this delicious taste that has not been tasted for a long time disturbs people with excitement.
The bowl is half soup and half fish, full of love.
Li Nanzi went to pick it up with both hands, but before it was hot, she was snatched by Qi Chuan mercilessly, and she could only look at him blankly.
When grandma saw it, she was a little embarrassed if she didn't come back, she was angry and laughed, and quickly brought a new bowl of soup for Li Nanzi.
"This kid is spoiled, Nannan, don't care. I'll teach him a lesson after eating!"
Qi Chuan drank the soup leisurely, feeling that it was still thicker and more comfortable, and who knew if he endured his emotions?
"Grandma, she likes mushroom chicken soup, I'm here to help her!"
"Really?" Grandma hesitated a little and asked Li Nanzi with a smile: "What does Nannan like?"
Seeing that Qi Chuan was drinking happily, Li Nanzi smiled and said, "Grandma is doing well, I'll do it myself! I'll drink some chicken soup first, I haven't seen these mushrooms for a long time!"
"Okay! it's all your own family, you're welcome!" Grandma laughed for a while, and then looked at Qian Neng. "Little money, what kind of soup do you like to drink?"
"Old lady, I'm eating it! The jelly you made is getting better and better!"
"Eat more if it's delicious!" After saying that, grandma looked at Qi Chuan. "Chuan'er, take care of Nannan, don't worry about eating yourself! People came from afar with you, and you still grabbed her bowl, really!"
Qi Chuan put down the bowl and served taro steamed pork ribs to Li Nanzi. "Don't worry, grandma, she likes all these dishes you make, and it's all to her appetite!"
"Yes, yes, I love all the dishes on this table!"
Grandma pursed her lips and smiled, "I know what the little girl likes, and I made a special trip to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you today, but I didn't pay attention to my jealous grandson." Hey, who knew he even ate his own daughter-in-law's vinegar?"
Ahem –
Li Nanzi couldn't resist these words, and hurriedly drank Coke to suppress the shock.
This grandmother can really see clearly and speak openly, and she understands Qi Chuan's thoughts thoroughly, and calls her "daughter-in-law" too ......
Qi Chuan laughed for a while and replied to his grandmother: "You know that I will be jealous, but you deliberately favor her like this?"
"You kid, it's the first time you're talking about feelings, and there are still a lot of things you don't understand! If you like someone, you naturally have to lower yourself to get used to her habits and like her. These dishes don't offend you, but they are not your favorite, so what's wrong with eating them?"
After grandma finished speaking, she smiled and served Li Nanzi vegetables. "Don't get used to him, grandma will support you in the future! Come, try this fried potato chips, I deliberately fried them very crispy!"
"Well, it's super delicious at first glance!"
Qi Chuan was stunned, grandma started to educate him at the dinner table for Li Nanzi? And after saying the reason, she still talked and laughed with her Nannan casually?
Qian Neng smiled and said nothing, he was very interested in the plate of garlic sprouts back to the pot, and hinted to Qi Chuan to taste it with his eyes several times.
The other dishes on the table also have their own characteristics, Qi Chuan can't see the red and greasy sweet and sour tenderloin, the sweet and soft glutinous rice, and the oil-absorbing sesame balls......
After thinking about it again and again, grandma's words were right, Qi Chuan, as one of the hosts, should also treat the two "guests" who accompanied him from afar.
Everyone is acting so well, is it okay for him to be depressed alone?
Sandwiched a slice of cold tomatoes, tasted quite good, Qi Chuan first recommended to Qian Neng.
"This is a local tomato grown by grandma herself, sweet and sour, very tomato taste, try it?"
When Li Nanzi heard this, he was also quite interested, and couldn't help but take a few looks. When Qi Chuan saw it, he took a spoon and scooped a few for her, only then did he see his grandmother nodding to him with satisfaction.
"Grandma, do you want to eat?" Qi Chuan was deliberately naughty, he knew that grandma didn't like sour.
"No, you eat, this is for you young people!" Grandma said, she wanted to serve chicken soup, but Li Nanzi took the lead. "Ah, this doesn't bother Nannan, right?"
Li Nanzi finally found an opportunity, so he naturally refused to let it. "It's okay, grandma, just sit down!"
Qi Chuan seemed to be smiling, and ate a small fish in a dull manner.
I was grateful that it tasted good, and I wanted to reward Li Nanzi for his outstanding performance, but I saw that the fish in the soup bowl was not as good as the one left in my bowl, so I gave the bowl directly to Li Nanzi.
Just now, grandma chose the best fish for Li Nanzi, and she also knew what Qi Chuan meant, but she still frowned.
"You're done drinking all the soup before you give this fish, is it polite?"
Qi Chuan smiled heartily, grabbed Li Nanzi's shoulder with one hand, picked her chin with the other, and said with a smile: "We are usually like this, if we eat it, we recommend it to each other, and no one dislikes anyone." Nannan girl, don't you say?"
Li Nanzi suppressed her panic and nodded reluctantly, she didn't dislike Qi Chuan originally. "Yes, yes!"
"Then try it!"
After taking a bite, it was really delicious and delicate.
Li Nanzi couldn't help but praise, "It tastes so good!"
Grandma smiled slightly, "If you like it, let Chuan'er go to the river tomorrow morning to fish! He used to like fishing, and his skills are not bad!"
Qi Chuan was stunned, he had to get up early to fish before he had a good rest? Grandma didn't treat him like this before!
"I'm going to catch up on sleep in the morning!"
"You can also fish that night, and you can catch more at night!"
"I ......"
Qi Chuan grabbed Li Nanzi's arm and said with a smile: "That stupid girl must be with me, just take her to experience the joy of fishing!"
Grandma didn't plan to let the stunned Li Nanzi go, "The wind is cool at night, and the river is even colder, so Nannan will stay in the house and talk to me!"
"We're back to chat with you!" Qi Chuan touched Li Nanzi's head and said softly: "This girl can't do without me, and I can't do without her!"
