Chapter 16: The Best Mother-in-law in the World
The more Li Shengnan didn't say it, the more He Chaosheng was itching, but he saw that Li Shengnan was so proud, so he didn't continue to ask, anyway, he would know sooner or later, and he was not in a hurry for such a moment.
"Chaosheng, you bring more money over, in addition to buying pork for a while, try to buy some chicken feet, chicken offal, duck necks and other things, those things are not too expensive, you buy more, I will come back to make you something to eat!"
Li Shengnan sent He Chaosheng away, and immediately went into the kitchen, eager to show everything he had learned in his previous life.
But when she entered the kitchen, she realized how skinny reality was.
Braised meat and braised meat, one is stewed, and the other is meat.
She only thought of asking He Chaosheng to buy meat, but she forgot that the boiling of braised soup was more important than meat. And the raw materials required to prepare a pot of good-tasting braised soup are outrageous, and she is already thankful that there are several commonly used seasonings in the He family's kitchen, how dare she ask for other seasonings?
Li Shengnan rummaged in the kitchen unwillingly, and she really turned out a lot of scarce seasonings, at least it is not a big problem to make a pot of barely attractive braised soup.
Placing the seasonings found one by one on the table, Li Shengnan brushed the pot, filled the pot with water and boiled, and then added the seasonings according to the desired heat while waiting for the water to boil.
When a pot of water turns red due to the addition of various spices, the aroma of appetizing people gradually wafts out, wafting out of the kitchen and out of the yard, which is more sultry than the fragrance of the wild chrysanthemums under the roots of the wall in the yard.
Zhu Xiuzhen and He Hu were sleeping in the house, and suddenly they were hooked up from their sleep by the pungent fragrance.
The sleepy-eyed He Hu pushed Zhu Xiuzhen, who was smashing his mouth with a slap, and asked in a daze, "What do you smell like this? Why do I feel hungry when I smell it!"
Zhu Xiuzhen was originally in a dream in front of a big pot, although she couldn't see what it was, but the taste was extremely fragrant and tempting, but she was woken up by He Hu coldly, and kicked it directly, "Is there something wrong with you?" The old lady is reluctant to eat meat during the day, and you won't let you eat meat in a dream...... Eh, no, why can I still smell the smell of this meat when I was woken up by you?"
Zhu Xiuzhen sniffed, her eyes lit up, the original little sleepiness instantly dissipated, she leaned on the window and took a deep breath, and said to He Hu, "Child, father, it's really the smell of meat in my dream! This is the smell of meat in my dream! This is not a dream!"
He Hu was speechless, "I know this is not a dream, you hurry down to the ground to see, where is this fragrance coming from?
Zhu Xiuzhen hurriedly put on her shoes and went to the ground, ran out of the door with her shoes, followed the fragrance and went directly to the kitchen, and saw Li Shengnan serving in front of a pot, she asked out loud, "Chaosheng daughter-in-law, what are you doing to make this delicious? I smelled it when I was asleep!"
When asked this, Zhu Xiuzhen didn't forget to fish in the pot with a fence, but she didn't catch anything except some peppercorns and star anise.
"What is this? I thought you were making food, but you got me such a pot of soup and water? What can these soups and water do? Aren't you wasting things?" Zhu Xiuzhen asked bitterly.
Li Shengnan hurriedly explained, "Isn't Chaosheng going back to the army soon?" I thought about getting him some braised pork and jerky, and the braised meat would be eaten for the next two days, and if the jerky was to be taken away by him, he would take it to the army to eat. I'm boiling braised soup, and when Chaosheng buys the meat back, my braised soup will be almost boiled, and then it will be good to cut it directly into the pot and marinate. Mom, you go back and rest first, and I'll call you when the meat is marinated. ”
Zhu Xiuzhen: "......"
Although her daughter-in-law cares about her son, she should be happy in her heart, but why does she still feel that this daughter-in-law's concern for her son is a bit of a loser!
Looking at the half-empty cooking wine bottle, Zhu Xiuzhen's heart ached.
Let's take a look at the peppercorns that have bottomed out, fennel star anise, Zhu Xiuzhen angina.
When she saw the sugar jar that was half missing, Zhu Xiuzhen's heart hurt so much that she was about to suffocate.
"Hey, mom help you get it, you must not even touch the pot and stove before you get married, I will help you watch the pot and the fire, you can toss as much as you want, as long as you can make the braised soup." When Zhu Xiuzhen said this, her heart trembled.
What Zhu Xiuzhen really wants to say is - "I'd better stay in the kitchen and watch you a little, otherwise who knows how you will lose in my kitchen!"
The mother-in-law in the world who can't wait to hand over everything in the kitchen to her daughter-in-law grabs a handful, and a mother-in-law like Zhu Xiuzhen who can't wait to kick her daughter-in-law out of the kitchen and never enter it for the rest of her life is definitely rare.
In fact, Zhu Xiuzhen didn't want to be old and still nest in the kitchen all day long, but his son married a loser daughter-in-law and entered the door, she was really afraid that if she let this loser daughter-in-law toss in the kitchen for a few days, the kitchen would be set on fire.
Li Shengnan didn't hear Zhu Xiuzhen's entanglement when she spoke, she thought that Zhu Xiuzhen was moved by her devotion to He Chaosheng, so she nodded very happily and agreed, she moved slightly to the other side to make room for Zhu Xiuzhen.
Zhu Xiuzhen sniffed, she smelled a particularly familiar fragrance in the kitchen, but this fragrance was covered by the fragrance of the braised soup, she couldn't think of it for a while, so she could only ask Li Shengnan, "Do you have anything else besides the braised soup?" Why do I smell other fragrances......
Li Shengnan shook his head very firmly, "No, I only made braised soup." ”
Hearing Li Shengnan's answer, Zhu Xiuzhen felt a little more at ease, and could only comfort herself secretly, maybe she smelled it wrong?
Just when Zhu Xiuzhen was about to convince herself, Li Shengnan lifted a plate that was upside down on the bowl, and poured the contents of the bowl into the pot of boiling braised soup with a 'whoosh', and the fragrance of the braised soup suddenly rose several grades.
Zhu Xiuzhen's heart was completely cold.
She could see clearly that the gray and black things that Li Shengnan poured into the braised soup were fried black sesame powder!
The fragrance she smelled before must have been fried sesame seeds!
Zhu Xiuzhen was already a little unsteady on her feet, she looked at Li Shengnan with a calm expression without tears, and asked in a trembling voice, "Chaosheng daughter-in-law, how many ingredients did you share to match this pot of braised soup? What other ingredients have not been added? You told your mother at one time, and your mother has a number in her heart." ”
Li Shengnan shook his head again, "Stir-fried and rolled sesame seeds are the last ingredient, now we just need to make the heat smaller, and wait for this soup to thicken a little more." ”
Zhu Xiuzhen secretly wiped a handful of bitter tears, these spices were all saved by her when she bought a wedding banquet for He Chaosheng, but she was tossed by Li Shengnan...... She just wanted to crouch under the wall and cry for a while.
