Chapter 227: The first informal meeting with my future parents-in-law
Maybe it's because at the beginning of the winter vacation, Yu Jiayi and Li Yingxue will accompany Xu Lijuan to travel to the six provinces of L, S, H, Z, G and X, or Xu Lijuan's tacit attitude when she tried the "career task" again, so that the thoughts that often appeared in her mind during this time were confirmed, in short, Xu Lijuan's good mood lasted until the evening.
This night, Xu Lijuan had a rare good dream.
Therefore, the next morning, when Master Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi got up, they were greeted by a room full of fragrant food.
Beef cheong fun with mushrooms, barbecued pork buns, milk queen buns, shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, shrimp meat siu mai, glutinous rice chicken, water chestnut cake, durian crisp, chicken feet with soy sauce, steamed pork ribs, radish cake, golden cake, powdered fruit, dry fried beef river, fried dumplings, preserved egg and lean pork porridge, fresh roasted fish fillet porridge......
Although Xu Lijuan used to make dim sum a few times, since the opening of B University, Xu Lijuan has put more time and energy on her studies, and only on weekends will she make a few dim sums that the Xu family loves to eat, but there are so many kinds of situations like today that it has not appeared for a long time, so that Old Man Xu couldn't help but rub his sleepy eyes, looking at the red sun rising in the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and it was inevitable for a moment that the sun was coming out of the west.
Without it, who let Fu Jianbai, a person who shouldn't have appeared at the Xu family's breakfast table at all, sit there naked now!
Of course, in fact, as early as when Fu Jianbai saw Old Man Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, he immediately got up from the sofa and bent down slightly. Greeted cordially: "Grandpa Xu, good morning." ”
"Uncle Xu, good morning."
"Aunt Du, good morning."
Old Man Xu glanced at Fu Jianbai lightly, the string that had been tense since he saw Wen Jiaqing who came uninvited the day before yesterday not only did not relax. On the contrary, he became more and more vigilant and vigilant, and looked at Fu Jianbai's eyes without the peace of the past: "Fu family boy, where is your grandfather?" ”
During this period of time, the old man Fu, who took Fu Jianbai with him wherever he went, would let Fu Jianbai run to Xu's house alone today, no matter how you look at this matter, there is something wrong.
This. It was also the first thought that came to Xu Ankang's mind after seeing Fu Jianbai. Although it stands to reason that this is the first official meeting between Xu Ankang and Fu Jianbai, for some reason, in the past, this man who was absolutely excellent in Xu Ankang's eyes made all the second and third generations ashamed of themselves. At this moment, Xu Ankang felt uncomfortable when he looked left and right.
And with Xu Ankang's shrewdness, how could he not find the tenderness that flashed in Fu Jianbai's eyes when he looked at the closed kitchen door.
This......
Xu Ankang frowned slightly, and he groaned in a rare way.
Only Du Mengqi rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Fu Jianbai with a burning gaze.
Fu Jianbai didn't seem to realize the huge impact that his sudden appearance in Xu's house had on everyone, and said respectfully: "Grandpa found a small shop that makes mutton very authentic a few days ago, and when I went out, he was calling the owner of that small shop to ask when the tender lamb would be delivered. I'm going to ask Grandpa Xu to take the time to taste it together. ”
"So, you mean, he'll come over later?" Old Man Xu was full of displeasure. Especially when he saw Fu Jianbai's obvious nodding action and apologetic gaze, he almost couldn't help but burst into anger. It's just that there is one who rubs the rice, the key is that there will be a rice bucket coming over later, and I can't complain that Xu Lijuan is still busy in the kitchen at this time!
Since Xu Lijuan showed her talent in cooking in front of the Xu family, and since Zhang's mother, who used to control the Xu family's kitchen, was dismissed, Xu Lijuan has truly become a kitchen tyrant. Since then. The kitchen is a place without Xu Lijuan's permission. No one dared to trespass, for fear that he would accidentally disturb Xu Lijuan, who was cooking hard. That's it. The key is not to let Xu Lijuan be frightened, so that Xu Lijuan's talent in cooking that she has discovered with great difficulty will also be scared away, and it will be worth the loss.
As for Xu Lijuan's hands-on approach of eating three meals a day, Old Man Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, who have always held Xu Lijuan in the palm of their hands, have raised objections more than once. In their opinion, Xu Lijuan is the little princess of the Xu family, she was born to live a leisurely and comfortable life of pampering the stars and the moon, and when she thinks about it, she can occasionally cook and cook a few small dishes for her family, and she doesn't have to soak in the kitchen all day long to study those recipes.
However, all these words of persuasion were rejected by Xu Lijuan, so that after a few months, the Xu family and others had become accustomed to Xu Lijuan preparing three meals full of happiness for them. Of course, this does not mean that they can tolerate outsiders, especially Fu Jianbai, an obviously ill-intentioned outsider, who has repeatedly run to Xu's house to eat. Especially today, Xu Lijuan was rarely interested in cooking such a sumptuous meal!
……
Old Man Xu looked away with difficulty, suppressed the idea of taking a few deep breaths and swallowing his saliva again, and said, "Fu family boy, could it be that Old Man Fu didn't tell you, what he hates most is eating mutton?" "Dare to run in front of him to deceive people, and I don't know how to find a better excuse, is this kid Fu Jianbai itchy and underwhelmed? Or is it because he is in the way of Old Man Fu's face, and he is embarrassed to be ruthless at all?
"Tsk ......" The old man Fu who slowly shook all the way to the door of Xu's house, and the moment he pushed the door open, he happened to hear Old Man Xu's words full of ridicule and disdain and mockery, so he shook his head and sighed: "Old man Xu, I regarded you as the most reliable brother back then, and I could stick a knife in both sides for your brother, but, look, how do you repay me?" I can't even remember what I like to eat, and today he is blatantly bullying my kid in front of me, are you embarrassed?! ”
Old Man Xu snorted lightly and looked up at the sky: "I don't know which old man, when I was out playing with a few old friends, under the banner of being good for those boys in my family, he deceived all the boys in my family to his house and abused them for several days, and threatened them not to sue me!" ”
"There is such a thing?!" Old Man Fu didn't seem to hear the meaning of Old Man Xu's words, and his face was uneven: "Which old man actually did such a disrespectful thing for the old man with his conscience, let me know, I will definitely let him know 'why are the flowers so red'!" ”
"......" was fortunate to be viciously rectified by Old Man Fu back then, so he grew up rapidly in just a few years, and completed the transformation from an ordinary second generation to a cunning second generation Xu Ankang looked at this scene silently, and rarely reviewed his own shortcomings. Anyway, just because his skin is thick enough, he can only bow down to Old Man Fu.
"......" Du Mengqi, who was fortunate enough to know about this matter, looked at it with a smile, but she didn't dare to get involved in the fight between the two old naughty boys at all, for fear that the slightest accident would affect her.
......Fu Jianbai, who had already had a deep understanding of his old man's bad taste, quickly exchanged glances with Old Man Fu the moment he noticed that the closed kitchen door was opened.
"It's so fragrant...... Old Man Fu's nose twitched, and his face was full of intoxication: "Old man Xu, what I envy most is that you have such a sensible and filial little granddaughter as Xiaojuan!" ”
"Hmph, no matter how envious you are, Xiaojuan won't be your granddaughter!" Old Man Xu raised his chin slightly, his face was full of pride, only he knew, in fact, at this moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he always felt that it would not be long before the intimate little padded jacket he had loved for more than ten years would abandon him and leave!
So, at this moment, Old Man Xu's expression also became gloomy, only to make Old Man Xu's reaction, and Old Man Fu, who was about to answer, was also stunned, and then, he quickly figured out why Old Man Xu was sad, so he swallowed the smug laughter in his throat with the idea that he would be a big winner.
"Grandpa Fu." Xu Lijuan blinked, although she didn't understand why the atmosphere in the living room was so heavy and sad, but because the two outsiders, Old Man Fu and Fu Jianbai, were still there, she had to press down her worries, greeted Old Man Fu with a smile, and then greeted Old Man Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi one by one, and then beckoned everyone to eat at the table.
"Grandpa Fu, you try this." Xu Lijuan put a phoenix claw in Old Man Fu's bowl with chopsticks, and said, "I deliberately steamed it for a while, stewed it softer, and went to some oil slick, if Grandpa Fu likes it, you can use a few more." ”
"Good ......" Old Man Fu smiled from ear to ear, picked up the phoenix claws and sent them to his mouth, the delicious and soft feeling immediately conquered his tongue, and he couldn't help but raise his thumb and praise: "Not bad!" ”
Old Man Xu rolled his eyes, turned around with the chopsticks that were originally stretched out to the roasted wheat, and without hesitation, he sandwiched all the remaining phoenix claws in the small bowl into the bowls of himself, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, and of course, Xu Lijuan's bowl was also put into two huge phoenix claws.
"Grandpa, thank you." Xu Lijuan thanked her with a smile, as if she didn't see the fight between the eyes of Old Man Xu and Old Man Fu across the table, and used chopsticks to clip a favorite shrimp dumpling of Old Man Xu, and said: "Grandpa, I bought very fresh river shrimp yesterday, and I think the shrimp dumplings wrapped up today will taste very fresh, you can taste it and see if it tastes good." ”
"Okay." Old Man Xu nodded, picked up the shrimp dumplings and took a bite, and a fresh taste rushed to the tip of his nose, making him can't help but praise: "It's delicious!" ”
……
Because Old Man Xu and Old Man Fu have been secretly competing, it took half an hour to end this time. (To be continued) R655
