The taste of the wife
In the early hours of the morning, the father and daughter got up early. After washing, he opened the door, and Xie Xiong sent his daughter to school on a motorcycle. Breakfast is provided in the kindergarten, and the father and daughter go to the kindergarten. On the way to and fro, Xie Xiong did not eat breakfast. It's not that he wasn't hungry, he was already hungry, but Xiao Lin was so angry that his heart hurt, his liver hurt, his stomach was swollen, and he was angry all night, and he was full just by eating gas, and he didn't have an appetite for anything.
Xie Xiong drove the motorcycle fast and galloped home like a whirlwind, startling the chickens and dogs. Hearing Xie Xiongche's voice, Xiao Lin hurriedly came out, looked at him intently, and asked softly: Honey, did you sleep well last night?
Xie Xiong parked by himself, pretending to be deaf and dumb, ignoring her.
Xiao Lin saw that he pursed his lips with a black face and was unhappy, so he sneered and entered the house, and no longer squeaked, so as not to scold. Xie Xiong just gave her a bad look, but he didn't show his anger as usual, which showed that he was restrained and forbearing, he didn't want to make a big fuss, he had no intention of liquidating, he wanted to keep his home and protect his children, she was already ecstatic in her heart, and the first thing he did this morning was to send his daughter to school calmly as usual, even if his casual appearance was a fake gesture, it was a good sign.
Xie Xiong didn't say a word, went straight into the second bedroom, and lay down on the bed, his shoes and socks were not taken off, and his clothes were covered with quilts.
Xiao Lin crept in, leaned against the door and looked, knowing that he was pretending to sleep, and did not bother, and quietly withdrew. Later, I will go in lightly, put breakfast, boiled eggs, grilled sausages, fried beef, buns, and milk on the bedside table, and come out with bated breath.
Xie Xiong originally had no intention of sleeping, but just used fake sleep to avoid her, punished her with laziness, and patiently waited for her to take the initiative to confess. Xiao Lin watched back and forth, sent breakfast to welcome, and hid his guilt, he lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, but the corners of his eyes were slightly open, and the afterglow also followed the peep. Xiao Lin closed the door and sighed in the living room. Xie Xiong turned over and sat up, took the sausage and handed it to his mouth, he hadn't eaten it yet, but his stomach was full of nausea, he put it down again, took off his shoes and socks and took off his coat, got into the quilt, and got ready to sleep well, the sky collapsed, whatever Xiao Lin did.
For country breakfast, housewives generally make egg fried rice, or noodles, soup powder, but Xiao Lin is different, making Western-style, boiled eggs, bread slices, diners according to their personal taste, Jiao tomato sauce, or smeared with honey, round bread like a hamburger, a knife to break the abdomen, cut horizontally, and sandwich beef, chicken nuggets, and sausages.
Xiao Lin is from the county seat, has tasted all kinds of breakfast and supper, she is quite particular about food, she can read books with words and words, she is ingenious and loves to ponder, and cooking is always the best of all families, and she is self-contained, which seems to be both smart and capable. The dishes in the cooking book, chopped pepper fish head, mapo tofu, red stewed prawns, sweet and sour fish, crispy duck, white-cut chicken, kebabs, she can concoct the same method, and chase the fashion, and the learning ability is super strong, foreign dishes broadcast on TV, pasta, fruit platter, vegetable salad, Japanese food, Korean spicy kimchi, you can learn and use it lively, and you can improvise.
For example, the traditional local fillings are mung beans, dates, oranges, apricots, persimmons, raisins, glutinous rice and glutinous rice and japonica, which taste sweet and delicious, sour, too greasy, thin flavor, thick pasty, sticky, too soft, sticky teeth, tongue like to stick to the upper load, black mess, ugly color, light, too plain, and the taste is light. Every year when the Dragon Boat Festival is served, Xie Xiong is stunned when he sees it, and he is surprised to touch his abdomen.
Xie Xiong is not a vegetarian, no meat is not happy, Xiao Lin found out the meat and palm, the taste can be not too salty, and not too sweet, in a brown, half of the sweet corn kernels and candied date silk, the other half is salted egg yolk diced and cured lean meat shreds, claiming to be "mandarin duck brown". rice, she does not use glutinous rice, uses Thai fragrant rice, and the soaking time is doubled. When wrapping the brown seeds, hold the left palm of the long and wide-edged hoop leaves, pinch the edge of the leaves with the right hand, gradually wrap them around from the inside to the outside, and roll them into the shape of a "sweet cone" with ice dripping; fill the filling with a spoon, build it with chopsticks, and fold the leaves at both ends; wrap them up and down with a thin cotton rope around the three corners, and tie them into a triangular brown, or an awl brown, or a cylindrical brown, or a square brown, or a dragon boat brown.
Once, Xie Xiong was beside him, watching her wrap one in the blink of an eye, it seemed that it was effortless, and he also wanted to try his hand and show his skills. It is easy to see the flowers, but it is quite difficult to embroider, either the roll is not cylindrical, or the leaves are pierced, either the folds are not folded and tight, or the strange shape is pierced. He had to admire her ingenuity.
Xiao Lin not only has the appearance of a brown seed, but also has another flavor in the way of eating. Fried mung beans, soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, granulated sugar and ground into a fine powder. When eating, a layer of powder, take a bite, or roll a circle of noodles, eat a layer of skin, all are fragrant, sweet and slightly salty, fresh but not greasy.
After boiling and steaming, after cooking, the green brown seeds are placed in the shape of a chicken heart in a brown coarse ceramic plate and placed on a log table. The rough wood color of the table, the rough texture of the porcelain plate, and the delicate brown are particularly delicate, like flowers, calmly and elegantly blooming branches. I can't bear to look at it, and it's a sin to eat it.
The purpose of food is to eat, not to see, no matter how beautiful the flowers, as long as they are delicious, after frying, stewing and stir-frying, they will be made into delicacies, and they will still be in people's stomachs. Xie Xiong peeled off the palm seeds, and the leaves were specially fragrant, slightly astringent, slightly bitter, and smelly. He held the palm in the palm of his hand, on the green palm leaves, there was a cone of porcelain white porcelain white glutinous rice, shaped like a snow-capped mountain, white snow-capped mountain, scattered on the southern slope of the sun, golden corn kernels, purple jujubes, scattered and dotted on the north slope of the shade, yellow and clear egg yolk pieces, red and bright lean shreds. Golden, purple, yellow, red, like the colorful fall of the snow, the snow is flying in the sky and the petals are fluttering, although the flowers are three points white as the snow, the snow loses the fragrance of the flowers.
The ingenuity of the brown seed, poetic and picturesque, look refreshing, eat not soft or hard, chew slowly and taste attentively, the taste is rich, salty, the taste is strong and drunk, sweet silky, refreshing and fat, it is a delicate and ingenious product. Snacks during tea, hunger when hungry, appetizers before drinking, nourishment after meals, all good, or steamed or boiled, simple and fast, to give to relatives and friends, all praise. Brown diplomacy and culinary exchanges have attracted a lot of votes for her virtuous slogan.
The color, flavor and shape of the meal are closely related to the chef's mood. For example, if the dish is salty and sweetened, and the rice paste is vinegared, Xiao Lin is not like this, adding a special soy sauce that is slightly fragrant, thin, sweet and lightly sour. To buy back the ordinary soy sauce from the "commissary", she must further reprocess it, pour it into a casserole, add marinade, add brown sugar, add balsamic vinegar, add ginger and garlic, add Huadiao, and simmer. Special soy sauce, stir-fry, stewed meat, boiled soup, cold salad, all are icing on the cake, and it is indeed a unique taste. The wonderful meals she makes, if not genius, must have been helped.
A wife, in addition to abiding by the rules, will be a man, know how to measure, know how to cooperate, will be united, take into account the overall situation, reliable, but also need to be able to cook, nourish and maintain the stomach and intestines of her husband and children, and be responsible for the health of her family. Xiao Lin went to the kitchen and made good dishes, Xie Xiong had a good mouth, and he was reluctant to give up on the mouth, and he remembered it unforgettable.
When I was a child, my mother cooked at home, three meals a day was to deal with, sloppy and perfunctory, too wrong to treat, especially for breakfast, often the leftovers from last night's food, poured into the residual soup, and then cooked in a nest of meals, usually not too many dishes, rice is not enough, so add more water, put salt and soy sauce, cook it thin and rotten like pig food, and also call it "soup and rice". Add it to the bowl, you don't have to use chopsticks, you turn the bowl and shake it, suck it while sucking, and fall down your throat like a porridge grunt, which has no taste or hunger tolerance, and can't fill your stomach, and my mother just said one thing, I made breakfast, and you also ate breakfast, and everyone didn't starve with an empty stomach.
This "soup and rice", Xie Xiong has long been tired of eating and injured. When he grew up a little, he ate breakfast in the city, which was nothing more than hot dry noodles, soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, oil cakes, bean skin, noodle nests, high-grade and so on, and also Huanxituo, glutinous rice chicken, steamed dumplings, fried buns, mixed sauce noodles, and beef powder. and long, his yearning for life is simple and practical, live well, like thousands of ordinary people, and a woman who knows cold and hot to herself, build a nest to shelter from the wind and rain, and live the common life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Later, he married Xiao Lin by mistake, married a beautiful woman, what a scenery, having a wife is not the same as not having a wife, immediately enjoy the treatment of her husband, go out with a smile and send each other, go home and receive him warmly, beautiful food, and immediately go up the grade.
As the saying goes, finding a good wife, a man is half of the success, and the rest is his own efforts, because of this, unsatisfactory men say that they have not found a good wife. Xie Xiong carried cabbage, carried gas cylinders, washed dishes and mopped the floor, paid all the wages, and did the heavy and dirty work alone, and refused to fight back by yelling and scolding, as a reward. Don't ridicule him for being "a housewife who listens to his wife, does housework, and takes care of children", he does not regard it as humiliation, and refutes, "I can do housework and take care of children, which only proves that I am more capable than you, and I am willing to listen to my wife, just because she understands better and is smarter than me." My family is harmonious and beautiful, and your family is crying and noisy, so life is always better than yours!"
Xiao Lin brought it to him, these delicacies that could not be bought with money not only moved him and subdued him, but also made his stomach like the new and hate the old, and he could no longer adapt to other foods, and he couldn't do without her renovated waiting.
