Chapter 13: I'll Let You Eat

Two days later is Chinese New Year's Eve, we called home to greet the New Year, in private my mother asked me how Lin Feng's family treated me, how to say this, in fact, I think they still listen to the simple, I and my mother said that they are very good to me, don't read, this is the first time I am not at home for the New Year, my mother said that she felt empty in her heart, and by the way, she also said that my father was in a bad mood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I was kind enough to comfort her and told her that I would go to see them as soon as the New Year was over, and maybe in another two years I would be able to bring a grandson back, and then they would not feel empty. My mother was overjoyed when she heard it.

I hadn't fallen asleep at ten o'clock, Lin Feng slept like a pig, and was snoring. Hungry, I went around the kitchen on this cold day, and found nothing to eat, except for a plate of melon seeds, if this can also be considered an edible thing. It was too clean, and I had no choice but to eat melon seeds, hoping to comfort my empty stomach, and suddenly felt that eating melon seeds in the kitchen in the middle of the night was really a strange thing, and it was estimated that there was no one before or after.

Eating a steamed bun in the morning finally relieved me. Lin Feng's mother is a very diligent person, she gets up very early, so I have to get up early, she hasn't stopped since I saw her in the morning, and it seems that there is always work to do. Lin Feng's mother didn't know where to get all kinds of ingredients, I hurriedly ran over, and the whole kitchen suddenly had fresh air.

"Manful, this leg of lamb is going to be made today, and this artichoke, pork, sauerkraut, chicken, meatballs, and pork ribs are all going to be made at noon today."

I swallowed and threw the seeds onto the plate. "Auntie, you're so polite, we can't eat so much."

"Eat, eat. I'll go over there to greet the guests, and you can cook the lunch. ”

After Lin Feng's mother left, I was still reminiscing about what I said just now, guest, that is, someone came. I'll do it, which means I have to do all the stuff. Dare to love Lao Tzu has now become a chef, and he can't eat enough. I'll do it, I'll do it, since I'm doing it, of course it has to suit my appetite, and I'll be dizzy from hunger. I thought in my heart, the leg of lamb will be made into a scallion fried mutton, potatoes and pork stewed sauerkraut, yesterday's sauerkraut meat actually tasted good. Braise the chicken and put some potatoes. There are still two Chinese cabbages on the ground, so let's boil them in a pot. Sweet and sour pork ribs, this is my favorite.

"Manful, what are you doing?" Lin Feng opened the curtain and came in.

"I thought you grew on the kang. What can I do, what else can I do with my hard work, look at my dark circles. You come over and help me cook, you two should have said anything you have to say. "I'm angry, I'm hungry, and it's a joke to try to make me whisper at this time.

"There are a lot of relatives in the house today, I have to go over to greet them, the seven aunts and eight aunts, they all have to accompany them, you just work hard, and I will compensate you well when I go back." After saying that, he quickly kissed me on the face.

I was soft-hearted, and I was immediately persuaded by him, thinking that I would only live here for a few days, so I should bear with it. Still, I asked him to fetch me two buckets of water, which I couldn't lift if they were full. Just do it, and soon the scallion fried mutton and potato stew will be ready one after another, but this straw pot is a little troublesome, and I ordered it for a long time before ordering. I've seen this kind of pot, and my grandmother's home is this kind of pot, and the dishes are delicious and have a special taste. I thought that Lin Feng's mother would at least come to see or supervise, but it really never appeared again, and I was really relieved that I entered the hall with two dishes.

There were some people sitting inside, and there were children, adults drinking tea and eating snacks, and children chasing and playing, and I put the dishes on the big table in the middle. Although they are not good at staring at me straight, but I can feel that everyone's eyes are bypassing me intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Feng's mother introduced me to everyone at this time, although they are all northern Shaanxi dialect, but I understand, that is, I am Lin Feng's wife or something, and I will have a wedding soon. I smiled at everyone, and they looked at me again, and then they stopped looking at me, and a few more came together and said something: "The woman is white, her skin is good, but she has lost some weight or something...". I put down the dishes and went to the kitchen to prepare other dishes, although the speed was slower, but one after another I made a table of dishes, at this time those who were sitting around all gathered around the table, and had already begun to eat, and the dishes were still boiling in the pot, I wanted to wait and see if it was okay, and sit down and eat some first.

But I found that there was no stool for me, and they obviously didn't mean to move one for me. I saw a stool next to me, I moved over to find a vacant seat to sit down, I tasted the ribs I just made, I think the taste is a little light, it seems that the amount is too much to grasp well, but the rest is okay, try something else.

"Smack" Lin Feng's father put the chopsticks on the table, "What kind of table is the woman's family on." ”

Is this talking about me?

"It's okay, it's okay, she just came and didn't know." The person next to him played a round game.

It's okay not to say it, when others say this, Lin Feng's father seems to think that I have lost face by sitting at the table to eat, and he is even more displeased. I looked at Lin Feng, "Great, I've been busy for so long..."

"Shut up, when will it be your turn to speak."

Lin Feng's mother probably felt that the atmosphere was really cold, so she came over to pull me and told me about the customs at home, women are generally not allowed to serve when there are guests. Damn, isn't Lin Feng's mother a woman? Lao Tzu was busy for a long time and didn't let me eat the dishes. I took a deep breath, I endured, I endured, and after a moment changed to a smile.

"Oh, well, then I'll go to the kitchen and eat, it's all the same. I think the taste of this dish is a little light, and it's also cold, I'm going to heat it, you guys go and eat it, and then eat. ”

I came to the kitchen with two dishes, there was still chicken stewed in the pot, I put the two bowls aside, took a bowl and filled myself with a bowl of rice, and some chicken nuggets, and ate it. After eating, I grabbed a handful of salt and put it in the chicken nuggets, and I felt that it was not enough, so I grabbed another handful, hey, there are still chili peppers there, why didn't I find it just now, put some, and put it up. The other two bowls of vegetables were put into the pot, and each grabbed two more handfuls of salt and added some seasoning. I can now understand why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, and why those who were hungry rebelled. Because a hungry man is terrible, and he can do anything, and I will let you eat it, and the salt will not kill you.

I said to myself smiling, my lips curled just right, and I brought the toppings to the table. "Let's eat slowly, eat more." I gritted my back molars. As soon as I went out, I heard someone inside vomiting something on the floor, and someone coughing vigorously. You don't make me happy, and when I have the chance, I will make you even more unhappy. Go back and take a nap and see what you can do.

I don't know when those people who are close to me left, because I slept until dark, and no one came to call me at this time, I sat up and found Lin Feng sitting on the kang.

"Manman, don't you even know how much salt to put in a person as big as you?"

"What's the matter, is the dish salty? Oops, it must be a big pot of rice I didn't grasp the degree, next time it will definitely improve. "I look innocent. The corners of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything after holding back for a long time. He lay down next to me and turned off the light, "You did it on purpose." ”

The next day, there were still many relatives who came to Lin Feng's house, it seems that their family still has some status in the local area, think about it, just relying on Lin Feng's parents as a duty farmer, and Lin Feng, a part-time worker, bought a house in Nanjing, which shows that their family still has some ability. These days, I can see that Lin Feng's mother has the final say on the daily trivial matters at home, but Lin Feng's father has the final say on the major matters, which is a very reasonable match in a somewhat macho family in the north.

This time, Lin Feng's mother prepared the ingredients and still asked me to make them, with the experience of the last time, this time I also realized that I took the initiative to take on the task of being a chef. But this time, I'll keep one for myself first, and when I'm full of food and drink, I'll serve the seasoned meal to the big guys outside.

"Let's taste the taste of the food, if it's not good, I'll go back to the pot." I was smiling and sincere, and even I began to wonder if I really hadn't cooked a big pot of rice before I could figure out how many ingredients to put in it.

"This braised mutton actually tastes okay, but it's too salty, and this stewed elbow is a little spicy."

"Okay, I'm going to improve it, right away."

If it's salty, then add some sugar and some water. It's spicy, add some sugar, and maybe it's okay to add some peppercorns, I don't know, I don't want to put some tangerine peel anymore, pour some wine.

When I brought two dishes to the table again, I saw that everyone's expressions were a little hesitant, and the chopsticks were stretched out, but no one moved them. One of the older ones looked at a younger one opposite, "Come on, come on, how about Penghua taste this elbow?" ”

"It looks good, second uncle, you come first."

"Oh, what's polite, what haven't I eaten when I'm so old, you eat, you eat."

The two fully embodied the traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young, and in the end, it was the young people who took the lead, tasted it, frowned, and their faces were red with spicy. Seeing him like this, the old man gave up his elbow and went to taste a dish of braised mutton, and I saw him chew the meat several times in his mouth before swallowing it. Eventually, I put the chopsticks on top of the cabbage roast pork.

"How? How about this cabbage roast pork, salty or not? Or I'll improve it again, soon. ”

"No, you don't."

Several hands pressed this dish at the same time, including Lin Feng's father, "This dish is good, very good, there is no need to improve it." ”

"Oh, and what about this fried cake?"

"It seems to be a little unpolished." I muttered to myself, only to feel the big dick shake.

I actually tasted this hard fried cake, and after taking a bite, I felt that it had to be eaten with small steel teeth, and I immediately disliked this dish, probably because I didn't let the cake form while it was hot, and it was hard after it was cold. This is their staple food today, and I can't blame it, I want to make it well, because I want to eat it myself, but this is really a bit of a technique.

Everyone bit the hard fried cake, took a bite and was embarrassed to throw it into the bowl again, so they could only bite hard, and then look at the elbow and mutton just now, their heads shook like a rattle, "This fried cake is good, yellow on the outside and tender on the inside (charred on the outside and the inside), just right." No more frying. "I didn't expect there to be good reviews, but it's not that I'm lazy.

"Oh, that's good, everyone eat and drink well, just let me know if you need anything." I happily ran to the kitchen to eat my own meal.
