Chapter 55: Birthday Celebration (2)
He kissed Chengcheng's little face, put down Chengcheng, who was struggling to throw himself into Juanzi's arms and listen to the story with her, and walked to the kitchen first.
Before, he saw Su Yi holding a shovel in one hand and hurriedly came out to get vegetables, and he was a little curious.
As soon as he walked to the door of the kitchen, Xiao Yi was so excited by the spicy smell that sneezed, "Ahh
"Ahem. Su Yi himself was choked.
Xiao Anbang burned the fire too much, and there was not much rapeseed oil at home, she poured less oil, afraid that the meat would be scorched in the pot, so she quickly shoveled over the red and green chili peppers and rabbit meat in the pot, and coughed while covering her mouth with her head sideways, while answering Xiao Yi's question: "Fresh and spicy rabbit!"
"Uncle, it's so choking in this house...... Ahem...... Go out and sit in the yard. Otherwise, I can't stand it. The fire is still big, and you don't need to be here all the time. Su Yi blinked and let Xiao Anbang, who had already coughed up tears, go out first.
Xiao Anbang was angry that his son had not been home for many days, and when he saw Xiao Yi, he didn't see it, and walked in front of Xiao Yi with his nose covered.
Xiao Yi touched the tip of his nose, ignored the old man who had a little temper, took Xiao Anbang's place, and nominally lit the fire for Su Yi, mainly to ask her how she was doing in the Xiao family, and whether she was adapting? During his absence, was the old man and Chengcheng okay? Did anything happen at home?
Only Su Yi and Xiao Yi were in the kitchen, and she didn't hide it from him, "Sister Xiao has brought her son and daughter to come twice, and both times she quarreled with the old man, which made the old man angry. The first time was five days ago, when Sister Xiao found out that I lived here and wanted to ask me for rent and living expenses, but the old man found out about it and was so angry that he quarreled with her. The second time was this morning......"
"The city has already told me. Xiao Yi looked apologetically at Su Yi, who was constantly busy: "I'll say I'm sorry to you on behalf of my eldest sister." She is selfish and egoistic, ungrateful and does not think about others. Every time I come to me and the old man, it's for benefits. My eldest sister has always wanted to be the dean of education at their school, but in the past few years, she has been in camp all day long, neglecting the education of her son and daughter. Her children were spoiled by my brother-in-law's parents, and they were very annoying and rude. ”
"I don't think your sister Xiao Gong'an is like a family with you and the old man. She ......" Su Yi frowned in disgust, and couldn't find the right words to evaluate Xiao Meilan for a while.
"Don't talk about her. Xiao Yi also looked down on Xiao Meilan very much, and he got angry when he mentioned her. He asked Su Yi: "What kind of meat are you cutting? ”
"Oh. This is the spiced wild boar meat that I asked Meizi and her mother to pickle for me, which is marinated with boiled wild boar, and this five-spice powder is my mix, with a slightly spicy taste. This spiced wild boar has a soft and sweet taste, rich fragrance, suitable for the city and the old man. Chengcheng is used to eating small diced meat, this meat strip is thicker and longer, I cut it into thin and small pieces, so that Chengcheng is also convenient to eat. ”
Xiao Yi endured the desire and desire to reach out and grab a piece of dried meat to eat, swallowed his saliva silently, and asked Su Yi, "Where did you get the money to buy spices and meat?"
"Didn't I take more than 100 yuan from Luo Da before? I still have more than 50 left after buying clothes, and I used that money to buy them. I see that Chengcheng and the old man have a bad appetite these days, so I specially bought them to eat. ”
In fact, it is mainly her own gluttony, of course, this spiced wild boar jerky is indeed specially marinated for Chengcheng and the old man. I would also like to thank the five-spice seasoning powder that "Yi is in my heart" true love fan rewarded her, and the enthusiastic help of Meizi and her mother Xia Qiu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make wild boar so delicious.
The wild venison, pork, chicken and rabbit meat that Liu Yuanqing's mother pickled for Su Yi before were all heavier, salty and spicy, Su Yi liked to eat them, but Chengcheng and the old man were young and old, with a weak spleen and stomach, so they were not suitable for eating such heavy meat.
Su Yi was embarrassed to eat alone, so she specially spent money to buy a few catties of wild boar meat and asked Xia Qiu to help marinate it. Yesterday she was on leave and went to pick up the plum before she brought the meat back.
Last night, she poured a bowl of dried pork, and the old man and Chengcheng ate twice as much rice as usual, that is, she and Meizi also ate an extra bowl of rice, and they couldn't hold on one by one. After the meal, everyone went outside for a long time before they came back after eating.
Su Yi saw Xiao Yi staring at the jerky on the cutting board with burning eyes, smiled and pinched two with chopsticks, took the chopsticks, stretched out his hand and handed them to him: "This jerky tastes good, you taste it." ”
Xiao Yi was not polite, swallowed it in one bite, wrapped it in his mouth and chewed it, and pouted with some disappointment: "It's not spicy, it doesn't smell as good as it tastes." It's spicier to be delicious. ”
Su Yi took out a small piece of spicy wild boar meat that she ate herself from the cupboard, cut it into slices, and stir-fried it with the cut lotus white, after it was fried, she didn't need her to clip it to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi picked up the chopsticks himself, quickly sandwiched a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and gave Su Yi a thumbs up: "Stick! This taste is strong, spicy, numb and refreshing." ”
After he praised Su Yi, he sandwiched a piece of spicy rabbit that Su Yi had fried before to eat, and his eyes were so beautiful that his eyes narrowed into a slit: "Comrade Xiao Su's craftsmanship can go to a state-run hotel to be a chef." ”
"Xiao Gong'an has an overreputation, and he doesn't dare to be it. ”
Su Yi scooped up the last dish of leek scrambled eggs, put it on a plate, poured a large melon scoop of cold water into the pot to protect the pot, so as not to burn the iron pot by the fire, and asked Xiao Yi to pull out the firewood in the stove and put it in the mud urn to close the fire.
Xiao Yi asked Su Yi: "How much did you spend on this meal tonight?" I'll reimburse you in a while." It's pork, rabbit, and fish, which is too expensive. Today is Chengcheng's birthday, so I won't talk about you. This is the only time, not an example. ”
"If you eat like this every day, I can't afford to feed you. Xiao Yi smiled at Su Yi, picked up two large bowls of meat, and went to the hall.
The dining table was placed in the hall, Xiao Yi took the meat out, no need for him to shout, the others smelled the fragrance, washed their hands one after another, and ran to the table to sit down.
Xiao Yi and Su Yi ran together three times before finishing the dishes.
Today, Su Yi made a total of ten dishes, two soup dishes: one clear soup tofu cabbage, one hot and sour soup, two roasted dishes are fish: one braised fish, one braised fish, three stir-fried dishes: a light scrambled egg with leeks, the other two - fresh and spicy rabbit and lotus white fried wild boar, the taste is relatively heavy, suitable for adults to eat, and three cold dishes: a cold cucumber, a hot and sour vermicelli, a spicy sour radish strip.
Because the amount of dishes is relatively large, and the bowls, basins, and plates are also used, and the ten dishes fill the table of the eight immortals, which is fragrant and attractive, and everyone can see that their mouths are salivating.
Su Yi asked Xiao Yi to carry the big steamer of steamed rice into the hall and put it on the ground with two nylon pockets, and she was responsible for distributing a pair of dishes and chopsticks to each person, so that everyone could serve their own rice and eat as much as they wanted.
