Chapter 47: Gathering (17)
The rain was very heavy, and the overwhelming rain formed a thin stream of water on the ground, and in the high places, the water flowed downstream, and in the low places, it was piled up into puddles, and the raindrops fell on it, splashing a circle of ripples. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Sisi's grandfather's house, in the small living room of the upper house, Chen Liang was playing chess with his son-in-law Gu Guoren. Gu Xing'an watched the game from the sidelines, and interjected a few words from time to time, but his grandfather said "watching chess is a true gentleman", and he immediately fell silent, even if he came up with an idea, he could only be anxious on the side.
Gu Sisi and her mother Chen Xinling are preparing to eat, Gu Sisi's grandfather is not very good because of his age, so he is suitable for eating some soft and glutinous food. The mother and daughter searched in the stove room, and Chen Xinling planned to make the eggplant box and cold cucumber that her father liked to eat, and cook a potato stewed bean and chili fried meat, and then stew a dough sheet.
Gu Sisi gave her mother a hand on the side, Chen Xinling was worried that her daughter's knife would not be stable at first, and she was afraid of cutting her hands, but when she saw that her daughter cut it well, she went to get the basin and noodles. With the sound of rain outside the window, Gu Sisi had already prepared the ingredients and everything, and the mother and daughter were very tacitly busy in the stove room.
The eggplant box is not difficult to make, mainly in the filling, and the filling is made with leek eggs. Leeks are grown at home, and the leaves are not the kind of wide plates, but thin, tender and green, and this kind of leeks taste very fragrant.
Gu Sisi dried the washed leeks with water and put them on the cutting board, then chopped the leeks with a knife and put them in an empty bowl for later use. I took a small bowl again, beat three eggs into it, added a little salt and peppercorn powder to taste, stirred it well, and put it aside, and then the eggs should be cooked and fried for later use.
Chen Xinling has already reconciled the noodles here, put them in the basin to wake up, and will knead them later. As soon as I turned around, I saw that my daughter had prepared the filling of the eggplant box, and then went to cut the eggplant.
The eggplant should be tender to be delicious, wash the eggplant, cut it into about 2 mm thick slices, the first knife is connected, the second knife is cut again, use the two slices of the cut, sandwich the mixed filling to make the eggplant box. The filling can be vegetarian or meaty. However, Chen Xinling came according to her father's taste preferences.
The prepared eggs are fried in hot oil, cooled and put into the chopped leeks, then seasoned with salt and pepper powder, and then sandwiched into the sliced eggplant after mixing.
Then take an appropriate amount of flour and add cold water to make a batter, not too thin kind. Then put oil in the pan, wrap the eggplant box with the filling in a layer of batter, and then put it in the oil pan to fry, wait until one side is browned, then turn the other side, and wait until both sides are golden and crispy, and then you can get out of the pan.
The cooked eggplant box, the taste of leeks is very fragrant, and the whole stove room is fragrant. After Gu Sisi helped his mother prepare all the ingredients, he obediently sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. Looking at the burnt and fragrant eggplant boxes, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, she hadn't eaten the eggplant boxes made by her mother for a long time, and now she was blessed.
"Mom, what are you doing, I can smell leeks from afar. Wow, the eggplant box, it looks delicious. "Before you see him, you hear his voice. As soon as Gu Xing'an's voice came in, the others trotted into the stove room. Gu Sisi couldn't help laughing, this brother's nose is a dog's nose, and just after he came out of the pot, people came.
"Don't move, be honest, bring it to your grandfather, let your grandfather and your father cushion first, the meal will take a while, your mother will keep it for you, and I will eat it with your sister later." Go!" Chen Xinling unceremoniously patted her son's hand to get the eggplant box, why is her son so persistent in eating?
Gu Xing'an withdrew his right hand that was beaten, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mom, I didn't mean it, it's not too fragrant, I can't help it! After speaking, he took two pairs of chopsticks, took a large plate of eggplant boxes and ran away. In that way, I was afraid that I would come later and the delicious food would be gone, so I only saw Gu Sisi and my mother laughing.
"Brother, brother, I said you have thought about it, we have been here for a while, what do you think?" Cui Jinxiao was a little impatient at this time, this rain is really annoying, it will not stop after this meeting.
Cui Jinxi was also very annoyed, "Xiaoxiao, don't rush, don't rush, you're thinking about it." Xiaoxiao, why don't we find a place to live first, and then make plans when the rain stops. If the rain stops for a while, let's find a car to go to Gujia Village, if it doesn't stop, you look at this day, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow. ”
The Cui family brothers and sisters discussed at the gate of the bus station for a while before they got a satisfactory result. The two of them didn't plan to run far, so they stayed at the Laiyang Hotel on the opposite street. When the rain stopped, I set off for my grandparents.
Laiyang Hotel is diagonally opposite the bus station and is one of the best hotels in Laiyang County. The hotel lobby doesn't look as palatial as some of the hotels in later generations, but it's classy. The Cui brothers and sisters asked for a standard room, checked in, and planned to go to the room to rest and wash up, and it was not very convenient to take a bath when they went to their grandparents.
The room of the two is on the third floor 305, and they have to carry their luggage up the stairs, fortunately, the floor is not too high, otherwise Cui Jinxiao will definitely blow up.
As soon as the two brothers and sisters of the Cui family walked to the staircase on the third floor, they ran into Qi Tianlin who was going downstairs to eat.
"Oops, it hurts me to death, you don't have long eyes, you can't see anyone coming, it hurts my aunt and grandmother. Cui Jinxiao didn't even look at anyone, just rubbed his little shoulders, and didn't even care about the luggage falling to the ground.
"Xiaoxiao, how do you speak? Sir, I'm sorry, my sister is ignorant, don't mind, I apologize to you, it was my sister who accidentally bumped into you, I'm really sorry. Xiaoxiao, apologize quickly. Cui Jinxi said apologetically to the gentleman who was bumped into by his sister, and gave his sister a look.
Qi Tianlin looked at the brother and sister in front of him, didn't care, only nodded slightly to say that it didn't matter, and walked around the two.
Cui Jinxiao heard what his brother said, and just wanted to say something more, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw that the man had already left, and only gave a back. Then he was unhappy again, "Brother, you are my brother, obviously he hit me! Why did you apologize to him, you look at him like that, he didn't even say a word." Who is that?"
"Okay, you don't have to say a word, you think this is in the capital, you can do whatever you want, and someone will wipe your ass when the time comes! Where are you now, you only know your grandparents here, what if you get into trouble with someone you shouldn't mess with? Besides, it was the person you hit just now, and it's good that they didn't question you. Let's go, go to your room. Cui Jinxi's voice lowered, and he only said to his sister with a serious face at a volume that the two of them could hear, and after speaking, he didn't care what his sister thought, so he went to the direction of the room first.
"Hmph, what do you mean I'm only going to cause trouble, it's obvious that he hit me......" Cui Jinxiao saw his brother ignore him and left, muttering a few words in the back, then pouted and trotted over with his luggage.
