Chapter 14: The Family Feast (1)
After Luo Xiang'er watched the jade box being put away, she was just about to return to her seat when she was called over by her eldest uncle. He changed the gift on the spur of the day and gave his niece a small yellow storage bag. Luo Xiang'er immediately hung it on her waist and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, aunt, this gift solves my urgent need." The eldest aunt pursed her lips vaguely.
At this time, the eldest uncle beckoned his three children to come over and said, "Xiang'er, this morning's time is too rushed, I will introduce you to your cousin and cousin now." He pointed to the oldest of them, the cold young man, "This is your lobby brother, Luo Qingfeng, twenty years old, is now a second-year student at Qingzhou Academy. Luo Xiang'er hurriedly said, "Brother Lobby is good! Luo Qingfeng nodded slightly, and said politely: "Hello, this is a gift for you." After speaking, he handed over a small translucent gift box, which contained three brushes from large to small. Luo Xiang'er hurriedly took it, put it in the newly acquired storage bag, and politely said thank you. Two strange relatives can only use politeness to cover up the strangeness.
The eldest uncle pointed to another boy, "This is your second cousin, Luo Qinghe, fifteen years old, who is now practicing at home every day, and occasionally gives me a hand." "Second cousin is good!" Luo Qinghe grinned: "Little cousin, if you need help in the future, go to me, I spend most of my time at home." This is a gift I went out to buy this morning, I hope you like it. Luo Xiang'er received a round pink pearl bracelet, and after saying thank you to the cheerful second cousin, she also put the bracelet in the storage bag.
"This is your lobby sister, Luo Yun'er, eleven years old, and now a fifth-grade student at Fengcheng School." In fact, this one, the eldest uncle just didn't introduce it, Luo Xiang'er also met this morning, what an unforgettable little jealous look. "Hello lobby sister!" Luo Yun'er tilted her head and snorted, "This is the prize I won by participating in the school instrument playing competition, which is said to be the most valuable item in the school treasury, and I am now giving it to you as a gift." Luo Xiang'er took a folded and somewhat old sheepskin from the four molecules, and saw the flash of happiness in her eyes, so she directly put the sheepskin into the storage bag and said, "Thank you!"
"Alright, let's eat!" Grandfather announced.
Luo Xiang'er sat elegantly in her chair and methodically began to taste the soup. She steadily picked up the jade cup tray with her left hand, scooped a spoonful of clear soup with a silver spoon with her right hand, and sent it to her mouth, a fresh fragrance unique to free-range chicken exploded in her mouth, and then the fragrance of bamboo shoots melted away some of the not strong meat smell. The second scoop scoops up a piece of chicken and it has a tender texture. The third spoonful scoops up a piece of bamboo shoot, which is fresh and slightly sweet. At the end of the spoonful of the broth, the rich aroma lingers on the tip of the tongue through the olfactory sensation. Luo Xiang'er's mind immediately reflected the specific operation steps of this crockpot chicken soup, in the overall process of this hour, the father fire is in place, the ingredients are fresh, the only shortcoming is the lack of an important condiment - wine, so the taste of the ingredients does not achieve the best fusion effect and the chicken soup is still very light fishy.
Seeing that she was enjoying the drink, her father hurriedly said, "Xiang'er, I'll let someone add another cup." "No need, otherwise I wouldn't have the stomach to eat all these dishes, thank you, father."
As soon as her words fell, the slightly sharp voice unique to the eldest aunt sounded: "Why don't you say that you will add soup to your parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law!" Her father had long been accustomed to her attitude, explaining: "Parents and eldest brother are used to drinking only one cup of soup, so I will let people add soup to my sister-in-law." ”
Luo Xiang'er didn't have the time to pay attention to these, and had already begun to taste the first vegetarian dish "cold salad". The names of these dishes were all intimately reported to her by her father when the shopkeeper was served. The earth ear is the fungus, and the thing is exactly the same, but the name is different. The texture of the ear is thick, and the taste of this dish is spicy, salty, and fresh, which is good. However, this hemp seasoning is not available on the earth, so it seems that we need to pay attention to it.
