Chapter 195: Melon Feast
Wei Yi couldn't sit still and stood up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mother, mother, good mother of the child, don't you have to embarrass the child, and don't embarrass the moon, okay?"
He walked behind Liu Huilin, and his voice was soft.
"Mother, I know that the child is even more nervous tonight than Yueran."
Liu Huilin glanced at him, "Look at your talent, there are so many girls from families in the capital, you don't look down on them, but you want to look at the daughter of a criminal minister." If you are stubborn, why don't you allow your mother to be stubborn again? It is true that my mother has prejudices against her, if she treats you sincerely, what is wrong with being tested? What's more, the mother is a dignified Mrs. Fu, even if she deliberately embarrass a civilian woman, who can find the slightest fault? ”
Wei Yi was speechless.
Liu Huilin was born in the Shi clan and enjoyed preferential treatment and wealth since childhood. After marrying Wei Zhonghong, he was also pampered, and it can be said that he lived in front of and behind all his life. Therefore, even though he is now middle-aged, the pampering and domineering in his temperament have not diminished at all. He understands that Liu Huilin is willing to set up a banquet to entertain Yueran today, and is willing to say to her face that she will give Yueran a chance, which is already very rare, completely taking into account his emotions. Therefore, he had nothing to say, so he had to sigh twice from time to time behind Liu Huilin to express his dissatisfaction.
Liu Huilin didn't know what to remember, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Yi asked.
"It's funny." Liu Huilin turned her head to look at Wei Yi behind her.
"What's interesting?" Wei Yi asked again.
Liu Huilin said with a smile, "If you marry a daughter-in-law and enter the door, it is also very interesting to let your mother test her mother so much if you have nothing to do when you turn around." ”
Wei Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Mother, it's obviously a difficult person, but you think it's funny, where does the truth come from?" He laughed too.
Liu Huilin is obviously in a good mood.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about the future. How are you getting along with your colleagues in Bianjing Mansion recently, Zhao Xianyang can show you a look on your face again......"
The mother and son talked and laughed, but they didn't realize that half an hour had passed.
Wei Yi always thought about Shen Yueran in his heart, and when the time came, he glanced at the clock leak.
"Half an hour has come, mother, go and see."
As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the back kitchen, Liu Huilin just wanted to say something, and over there, Shen Yueran walked towards Wei Yi.
Wei Yi saw her return on time, and he was worried.
"How?" He asked quietly.
Shen Yueran winked at him, bypassed him, and walked straight to Liu Huilin to bow down.
"Mrs. Wei, the watermelon banquet has been prepared, please taste it."
The words fell, Xichun entered in turn with a few girls, and Shen Yueran reported the names of the dishes in turn.
"Sweet and refreshing watermelon balls, shredded watermelon, stir-fried hot and sour watermelon skin, shredded chicken noodles with mixed fruits, three-color steamed eggs, diced colorful fish, steamed pork ribs with watermelon, watermelon white fungus soup."
Seven or eight delicate dishes with different shapes, round or square, red or green, are placed on the table.
Wei Yi was overjoyed, he didn't care that there was a girl in front of him, regardless of the image, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, and shouted while tasting them.
"Yueran, what is this red crystal ball, it looks very cute."
Shen Yueran couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Sugary hearty watermelon balls." Scoop out the spherical melon pulp with an iron spoon, then pour some honey and yogurt into it, and add mint juice to taste it when plattering it, relieving the heat and moisturizing the body. ”
"And what is this? The roots are green and crisp, arranged in an orderly manner, and the entrance is very fragrant. ”
"Stir-fry spicy and sour watermelon rind. Remove the watermelon from the pulp and remove the green, leaving only the melon white, change the knife, and cut the other strips. Marinate with salt for a quarter of an hour to squeeze out excess water. Then stir-fry with seasonings, add white vinegar, dried chili peppers, and bacon to taste. ”
"What about this? What kind of fish is it? It tastes as both the freshness of fish and the sweetness of watermelon. ”
"Guiyu. Peel and dice the fish, add egg whites, salt, starch to scratch, and cut the melon into cubes. Fish cube oil, add corn kernels, green beans, ham, shiitake mushrooms to taste, and finally add melon pulp to adjust the color. ”
"What about this? Is it ribs? At first glance, I thought it was served on a porcelain bowl with a green auspicious cloud pattern, but I didn't expect it to be a round cup made of melon skin. The pork ribs are fragrant, and the round cup is green and lovely, which makes people salivate. ”
……
"Alright, alright."
Liu Huilin couldn't hold back, and interrupted the two of them in a loud voice.
She sank her face, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and Xichun hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
"Is it eating or talking? With so many words, how can my mother taste it? ”
Wei Yi smiled and sat back on the square chair obediently.
"Eat, eat, the child will shut his mouth and just eat."
Liu Huilin didn't say much, her eyes lingered on the desk, seemingly casual, but she also tasted all the dishes.
"It is indeed seven dishes and one soup, and each dish reflects the unique taste of watermelon or pulp or skin, and the special taste of sweet or fragrant."
Liu Huilin put down her chopsticks and commented.
"Haha."
Wei Yi's mouth kept talking, vague, "My mother also admits that Yueran's craftsmanship is really good." ”
"However, there is a lack of thoughtfulness."
Liu Huilin turned her words and looked at Shen Yueran.
"Since this is a family banquet to entertain Miss Shen, then Miss Shen will definitely be able to think that the old body and Yi'er are both having dinner and not coming. It's almost time at this time, when Miss Shen was making these delicate watermelon dishes, didn't she think that the old body and Yi'er had been on an empty stomach? Eating or not is secondary, these days, no one will eat less than a bite of food, the meaning of the old body means, thoughtful mind, do you understand? ”
Wei Yi put down his chopsticks and swallowed the food in his mouth desperately.
"What do you mean by mother, do you mean that there is no food?" He asked.
"Of course."
Liu Huilin said, "A table of banquets, no food, no matter what, it can't be justified." No matter how fragrant and sweet the dishes are, they are just dishes, and if they lack food, they are just decorations, not a 'feast'. ”
Wei Yi was dissatisfied.
"Mother, this is a strong word. Fang Cai only let Yueran melons and fruits into the dish, and set a strict rule of half an hour, seven dishes and one soup, now Yueran does everything, why do you have to eat? What's more, how to use watermelon for rice, rice with melon skin or dumplings with melon pulp? ”
Wei Yi's feelings of maintenance are beyond words.
Liu Huilin glared at him.
"I'm talking to Miss Shen, where is your turn to give advice? Cooking a feast is not only about 'doing', but also 'heart'. If you fail to put yourself in the shoes of the diner, you are derelict in your responsibility. ”
Liu Huilin is right.
The corners of Shen Yueran's lips rose.
"Mrs. Wei is right, although melons and fruits are included in the dish, you can't just care about the dishes, there is no staple food. The so-called staple food is the main food, and it can be seen that the meal is the protagonist of a banquet. No matter how sweet the dishes are, without the last meal, I always feel that something is missing. Mrs. Wei, I don't know that the two pastries with melon skin stuffed dumplings and fruity hair cake can suit Mrs. Wei's taste? (To be continued.) )
