Chapter 4 Cooking for the Family
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Xu Lijuan had woken up.
Unexpectedly, this was all reborn, and after marrying into the Lin family in his previous life, the habit he developed in the years when he was a cow and a horse for the Lin family still continued.
Xu Lijuan shook her head, sighed, and found that she couldn't sleep again, so she got up and washed, then went downstairs to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked at it, and quickly drew up the morning menu.
So, after getting up after Zhang's mother, who had been sleeping unsteadily all night because of the change in Xu Lijuan's attitude towards Sun Manxue yesterday, smelled the fragrance of food in the air, and then looked at the figure of Xu Lijuan who was busy in the kitchen, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, hurriedly walked a few steps, and said with half complaining and half worrying: "This kind of place in the kitchen is not suitable for a delicate woman like Miss, if you hurt somewhere, don't you make everyone's heart ache......"
In fact, at this moment, Zhang's mother's heart was full of ridicule and contempt, she said, with Xu Lijuan's infatuation with Lin Haocang so much that she hated to trample on her dignity and face, and let Lin Haocang trample on her temperament, even if Xu Lijuan really noticed the signs of Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue's private exchanges, what does it matter? ! But Sun Manxue was worried, and she talked to her on the phone until the early hours of the morning yesterday, and then hung up the phone under her comfort and persuasion. Fortunately, she lives in the Xu family's mansion, otherwise this phone bill is a lot of money.
However, because of this, she slept until this time before getting up, and originally planned to come back when she went out to buy something to eat, but she didn't expect Xu Lijuan to cook early in the morning!
When Zhang's mother hurried to the kitchen, as soon as she looked up, she was stunned.
This?!
Is this really the little princess of the Xu family with the title of "Kitchen Terminator"? This is really the idiot mistake of being pampered for 18 years, even the idiot mistake of growing flowers in the soil instead of hanging on trees, let alone Xu Lijuan, who clearly distinguishes between soy sauce and vinegar, salt and sugar?!
Without it, the two emerald green dishes placed on the kitchen table at the moment are just cold salads that make people appetite a lot when they look at it, but Xu Lijuan took out more than a dozen steamers from the pot, which not only contained small and cute xiaolongbao, but also dumplings that were chubby like ingots.
There was also a big clay pot bubbling out on the gas stove, and the aroma that came to her nose made Zhang's mother immediately guess that it was a delicious and fragrant porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly.
"Miss, did you do all this?"
It's only 7 o'clock now, and even if Xu Lijuan gets up at 6 o'clock, it is impossible to make such a hearty and nutritious breakfast in just 1 hour!
Could it be that Xu Lijuan called early in the morning to ask those 24-hour shops to send it over and rearrange it, just to make a picture that she made by herself? !
Not only did Zhang's mother think so in her heart, but even Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, who came to smell the fragrance, had such suspicions.
Only the old man of the Xu family, who has always been observant, guessed a few points from some leftover scraps and other places on the kitchen table, so he squinted his eyes with a smile, and praised without hesitation: "Xiaojuan, you actually have such a craft, grandpa is blessed today." ”
Xu Lijuan said with a smile: "Grandpa, you haven't eaten yet, so praise me like this, and I'm not afraid that after you eat it, you think that the things I make look good, but you can't actually eat them at all, so what should I do?" ”
Old Man Xu widened his eyes and said angrily: "What do you say, my Xiaojuan was born smart, but she is cooking, so it's not a good deal, in the future, you are not allowed to bury yourself like this, you know?" ”
Xu Lijuan responded and said, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, you go sit outside first, and you can start the meal immediately." ”
Old Man Xu nodded, and rushed Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, who had finally reacted and had not had time to say a few words to Xu Lijuan, to the living room, and they were not allowed to disturb Xu Lijuan, so as not to scare the daughter of the Xu family who had finally appeared with great difficulty.
Well, in fact, for everyone in the Xu family, even if the things made by Xu Lijuan don't look good and taste weird, as long as they can be cooked, Xu Lijuan will still get such praise. Who let the Xu family be a "kitchen terminator" for hundreds of years, and they can burn the kitchen when they cook well, or make raw meals, or stew some ingredients that can't be put together into a pot of bizarre soup that makes people unpalatable at all?!
Compared to these, Xu Lijuan is really much better!
If Xu Lijuan knew what everyone was thinking, she was afraid that she would smile bitterly.
In her previous life, she could only tolerate Lin Haocang in her heart, and she naturally enjoyed the care and pampering of the Xu family's relatives, but she never really took anyone among them to heart, and she was even willing to go up the knife mountain and the sea of fire for the sweet words Lin Haocang confided.
Anyone who wants to learn a skill is not an easy thing, and cooking skills, for the Xu family, they are indeed born without that talent, if they want to learn and be proficient, they can only pay 120,000 points of effort, and they need to have the decision and belief that they can't fight like Xiaoqiang.
For the sake of that ethereal love, Xu Lijuan took out the determination of the students who took the ancient imperial examination to "hang their heads and thorn their stocks......
In fact, Xu Lijuan did succeed, which is also another thing to be thankful for after she was reborn.
At least, no matter what, now, she can wash her hands and make soup for her parents, and she can get rid of Zhang's mother, a traitor who has been in the Xu family for more than ten years.
It took nearly a day to finally figure out the history of Xu Lijuan's planet through the Internet, and at this time, he suddenly said loudly: "Host, that woman has bad intentions towards you!" ”
"......" afterthought!
"Host, you're slandering this system in your heart again! Tell you, with the ability of this system, it is simply a matter of easy to detect whether a person has a different mind! Who made this system the most perfect plane trader that Dr. X spent nearly a thousand years researching......"
Xu Lijuan's mind turned around and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite useful." ”
"Of course, I want to ...... back then" system can't stand the praise, plus it is only attached to Xu Lijuan, and I don't know much about Xu Lijuan's temperament, so I only thought that Xu Lijuan's words were simply complimenting her, and I didn't expect that Xu Lijuan was thinking about how to use its ability in the future......
******
emerald green cold cucumbers; Three shreds of cold salad made of white radish, carrots, green bamboo shoots, kelp and vermicelli; Egg cakes made with vegetables, ham and flour are cut into equal triangles and neatly arranged on plates; Wrapped with eight pleats, Xiaolongbao and white and fat steamed dumplings can be eaten in one bite, there are two kinds of fillings, one is leek egg filling, and the other is fresh meat and mushroom filling; There is also a plate of fried dumplings that are fried to a golden brown; And in front of everyone, there is also a big bowl of fragrant and tempting preserved egg and lean porridge sprinkled with chopped green onions.
are all very ordinary things, but because of the different people who do it, everyone in the Xu family, who has always despised the rule of "eating without words", unanimously forgot about other things, and only focused on tasting this rare delicacy.
Holding Xu Lijuan's specially divided breakfast, Zhang's mother, who returned to her room, felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, with sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty everything, and an indescribable depression gathered in her chest, which could not be resolved for a long time.
Moreover, for some reason, Xu Lijuan this morning had an aura that made her feel very inconsistent, and there was no more admiration in her eyes when she looked at her, and even when she lowered her head, she could feel that Xu Lijuan's gaze projected on her was so cold and indifferent.
This kind of Xu Lijuan inexplicably made her feel cold, and she always felt that something unexpected had happened......
