Chapter 120: Cooking
The next morning, Xinxin and Mu Nan had to go to work, cleaned up the children, washed up by themselves, and went to breakfast. The mother-in-law got up early to make breakfast, and then took the children and let them eat together.
On the table are porridge, steamed buns and two vegetarian dishes, one shredded potatoes and one shredded carrot. Xinxin served the rice, took the steamed buns, and went to eat the vegetables. After taking a bite of shredded potatoes and a bite of shredded carrots, he put down his chopsticks, got up and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of sauce tofu and came out.
Mu Nan glanced at her and said, "If you don't eat vegetables, you have to eat this." No nutrition at all. ”
Xinxin smeared soy tofu on the steamed bun and replied: "I love to eat soy tofu." ”
Mu Nan shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.
Xinxin munched on the steamed buns, feeling a little depressed, the potatoes and carrots were not fried, they were boiled at all, and they were so light. I'm used to eating my mother's food, and now I eat my mother-in-law's cooking, it's really hard to swallow. But when people get up early and do it, what can she say? Wasn't that one out last night enough? The old lady is a tough person, and Xinxin knows that it is useless to talk more, so it is better to make do with it and eat more at noon.
Mu Nan actually listened to Xinxin's words later, and probably understood what was going on. However, more is better than less, since Xinxin didn't say it explicitly, he just didn't understand it, and it was okay to fool the past. The mother and daughter-in-law, which one of them started to rush, was enough for him to have a headache. So it's better to be a little confused.
In the morning, Shin Shin had to get some snacks to fill her stomach, just looking forward to eating something delicious at noon. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the house, there was another pot of noodles squatting on the dining table. Xinxin's face was a little dark, and she regretted how she forgot her mother-in-law's rules: if the thunder doesn't move at noon, it will be noodles. She went into the kitchen with the last glimmer of hope and looked at it, and if the marinade could be better, it would be okay. Lifting the lid, she saw a large pot of vermicelli mixed with morning leftovers. It's true, it's all ...... Not quite.
Xinxin took a small bowl, picked a few chopsticks, and barely ate two bites, but she couldn't eat it. In the end, they were all poured into Mu Nan's bowl. Mu Nan knocked on the edge of the bowl and said to the mother-in-law holding the child: "That is, my mother made it, just this meal, if it is outside, I won't bring a bite to eat." ”
In the face of such a straightforward complaint from her son, her mother-in-law smiled indifferently and did not even refute it. The old lady had such a low profile, Xinxin was naturally even more embarrassed to say anything, so she had to nibble on snacks again.
And so on, dinner is naturally not much better, or those two boiled dishes, Mu Nan asked why she didn't make meat or anything, and her mother-in-law said innocently: "The meat I fried is not delicious, Xinxin doesn't like to eat it." Why don't you fry it? Mu Nan has been tired of housework recently, so she immediately shut up. Fortunately, Shin Shin was already mentally prepared, and after knocking several bags of snacks in the afternoon, she was not very hungry. I ate two bites casually.
The next day, Xinxin saw that breakfast was still the same two boiled vegetables, so she went to work without breakfast, and bought a pancake fruit on the way to eat and walk. At noon, she also learned well, and made a tomato scrambled egg as a marinade by herself, and it was very fragrant mixed with noodles. When Mu Nan saw it, she asked her mother-in-law to make tomato and egg marinade tomorrow, and the old lady responded with a stack.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Xinxin thought that she couldn't run the two boiled dishes at night, so she was a little worried. She thought about it, and if she really couldn't do it, she would order takeout. When I got home, I saw that the house was quiet and the kitchen was deserted. The old couple didn't know where to go with their children.
It's not too early to see the time, since they haven't come back, Xinxin is embarrassed to just wait for her mother-in-law to come back and cook. Anyway, the old lady doesn't make it delicious, so it's better to make it herself. Xinxin thought about it and went to look at the refrigerator, and saw that there were a lot of lettuce such as cucumbers, eggplants, beans, and tomatoes. Looking at the freezer compartment, there are also minced meat and meat pieces. She took out the meat filling and thawed it first. Here, the cucumbers and eggplants were washed and peeled, and they were all good. Finally, I took a few eggs and found a large bowl to beat the foam. Xinxin actually knows how to cook, her hands are not stupid, but she is a little lazy, so she usually doesn't cook much at home. But now that I really start to do it, it's decent, but it's slower. Because it is preparing a meal for a family of four, Xinxin has a relatively large amount of dishes, and she can't hold the big stir-fry spoon at home, and she feels that her arms are sore after stir-frying two dishes. I was worried that I had to mix the meat stuffing in the back, and it was a tiring job. Coincidentally, Mu Nan opened the door and came in. Xinxin cheered, and hurriedly handed over the work of stirring the meat filling to Mu Nan. Mu Nan washed her hands and came over to help.
Xinxin poured all kinds of spices and chopped green onions into the meat filling, and beat an egg into it, and Mu Nan started stirring. In the end, it is the strength of the man, and the meat filling will be stirred in a while.
The water in the pot on Xinxin's side was also boiling, so she changed the heat to the lowest and began to boil the balls. Mu Nan hadn't seen meat for two days, and he was a little greedy, so he watched from the side, and said that he wanted to "taste" it. Xinxin saw that there were floating balls, so she fished a few for him first. Mu Nan held a small bowl of meatballs and said while eating, "It's delicious." ”
Xinxin smiled and said, "It's a pity that there is only cabbage, if only there was some tofu." You can make tofu and cabbage ball soup. ”
Mu Nan nodded vigorously and said, "That's good." Seeing that Mu Nan was eating so hard, Xinxin also came to her senses, and hurriedly cut some cabbage and put it in, and the cabbage ball soup was ready after a while. Originally, Shin Shin wanted to make another dish and make up four. But he was really tired, so he brought these three dishes to the table, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Mu Nan was really hungry, and he didn't care that his parents-in-law hadn't come back yet, so he was going to have dinner at that time. As a result, when I flipped the pot, I found that Shin Shin had not prepared the staple food.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law had already boiled porridge in the electric pressure cooker at noon, so she only needed to take a few steamed buns from the refrigerator and steam them at this time.
Seeing that dinner couldn't be eaten immediately, Mu Nan was a little anxious, and couldn't help but say Xinxin: "Silly you, why don't you know hot steamed buns." ”
Xinxin felt tired of cooking, but after listening to Mu Nan's words at this time, she replied angrily: "It's good to cook for you, why don't you do it yourself?" ”
Mu Nan saw that Xinxin was angry, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Why haven't your parents come back yet?" ”
Shin Shin muttered, "How do I know", and ate a bowl of porridge to herself. After taking two bites, she couldn't help but say to Mu Nan: "On such a cold day, they can go out by themselves, and they still have children, what if they get frostbite?" ”
As she spoke, she heard a knock at the door. Then the parents-in-law came in with the child in their arms.
Mu Nan greeted him, took the child and said, "Why did you come back so late?" It's getting dark. ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "The child is willing to go out to play, and when he comes back, he will cry, there is no way." It was so easy to coax him back. ”
Xinxin raised her eyelids, but she didn't speak, but she was very unimpressed in her heart.
