Chapter 152: Good Cooking
Now that it is winter, the vegetables that can be grown are limited, so what the forest fish brings is only some cold-resistant, easy-to-survive white songs, lettuce, celery, onions and garlic, as well as some winter dates on the mountain.
Now although there are Zhang and Aunt Lu at home who have contracted the errand of cooking, except for Lin Yu who is a little busy and does not often enter the stove room, Xingzi and Ling'er often stay in the stove room because they have nothing to do, helping Zhang and Aunt Lu to fight, or also show their hands and cook a few dishes.
Several people worked together in the stove room of the county magistrate's house, and one person was responsible for a dish and was very busy.
The pothos is also a cheerful lord, and in a short time she became commensurate with several sisters.
Mrs. Zhixian came over halfway, and after a few words with a few people, she asked Ling'er timidly, can you go out with her?
Ling'er was still a little twisted, her eyes kept staring at the forest fish, and when she saw the other party smiling, she kept saying: "Go, go, we are here, you can talk to your mother......"
She reluctantly followed.
After Ling'er left, Apricot took the dishes she was going to make, and the three of them were busy again.
When the meal was about to be ready, the magistrate came back after a busy day outside, and entered the hall with a smile.
Knowing that the forest fish and the apricots were helping the pothos cook, the county magistrate blamed them repeatedly, saying that the forest fish was rare for them to come once, how could they let people cook? Knowing that what Lord Zhixian said was really literal, and he didn't like the Linyu sisters and brothers around the bush, Mrs. Zhixian hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." They were afraid that the pothos would not be able to do it alone, so they went to help, you. Don't worry so much, it's all their own children, they won't think crooked"
"You, you, on such a cold day, relatives have to cook by themselves, and only you, a mother, can do it. Forget it this time, next time they come, they can't let people into the stove room again' Lord Zhixian pointed to Mrs. Zhixian and smiled angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes. Next time, I won't let them enter the stove room, this time, even if I come to worship your godfather, it won't be anything to let them show their hands" Mrs. Zhixian smiled again. Pull the magistrate to the Taishi chair and sit. He reached out and whipped him on the back.
The green pothos, who was frightened and didn't dare to say anything, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw that Mrs. Zhixian gave her a look, she quickly slipped out.
The dishes are all home-cooked dishes that look ordinary to the forest fish, and the forest fish and the apricots have not learned formal cooking skills, but they are made with experience and exploration, but although they are not big dishes, they seem to be very tempting, and they are slowly served on the table. The magistrate and his wife both showed expressions of appreciation.
The forest fish and apricots made a total of five dishes and one soup, and the five dishes were: West Lake vinegar fish, white cut chicken, vinegar slip white song, and strange chicken slices. There is also rotten meat and celery, and the last dish is fish head tofu soup.
Pothos is often cooked, but she has not undergone orthodox training, and Mrs. Zhixian only understands the fur, so the meals made are only edible, but not delicious, today I saw the cooking skills of the forest fish and apricots and couldn't help but envy, and they must teach themselves.
Even the magistrate is rare not to reprimand the pothos for not having rules, but also some expectations that Lin Yu can really teach the pothos, although he is from a poor family, he is not a picky eater, but this same thing can be made more delicious, and no one will refuse.
Seeing that the lord and lady of Zhixian were also looking at him expectantly, Lin Yu had to smile and nod.
Mrs. Zhixian took the opportunity to let them stay for a few more days, and then go back after teaching the pothos, and the county magistrate also nodded in agreement.
During the meal, there was no separate table for men and women, and the magistrate said, saying that they were not outsiders, and there was no need to talk about those useless pomp, and the men only had the magistrate and Qi'er, so there was no need to pay too much attention.
Because the food is very appetizing, the county magistrate and his wife both appreciate the face and eat more, during which the magistrate asked the green pothos to take out the good wine he had saved, he wanted to have a drink with Qi'er, Lin Yu thought that now Qi'er is still young, so early drinking is not good, but she didn't dare to stop the magistrate directly, so she was a little twisted and didn't know how to say it.
Seeing that he said that he wanted to drink with Xiao Qi'er, Lin Yu seemed to disagree, so he smiled and said: "Now that Qi'er has entered school, he will often associate with his classmates in the future, and it is also a good thing to know the color of the wine earlier, and this wine is a good bamboo leaf green, and it will not go up after drinking, if the fish is not at ease, it will be fine to add some hot water."
Lin Yu listened to the words of the county magistrate and put his mind at ease, this is good is that bamboo leaf green wine can drain qi and nourish blood, adding some water will not be dizzy, and it will not destroy the flavor, Qi'er will be fine if he drinks less, so he also smiled and said: "Lin Yu is clumsy, almost ruined the good interest of adults, since it is green wine, Lin Yu can accompany adults to drink two glasses"
"That's good, the old man hasn't been so interested in it for a long time, and now if you can drink it with you, the old man is very happy" The magistrate laughed, and quickly asked the pothos to put a cup of wine for the forest fish, and also mixed it with green wine.
The wine of the county magistrate is very good, and he did not talk nonsense after drinking, but only talked about some poems and celebrity allusions with everyone with great interest.
Finally finished eating, Luluo hurriedly cleaned up the dining table, made tea and came over to sober up the county magistrate and Lin Yuqi'er, and finally went back to the stove to scoop some food to eat.
After the magistrate went to the front office again, Apricot quietly asked Lin Yu, can you go out for a walk?
Lin Yu poked her head with a smile and went to discuss with Mrs. Zhixian.
The green pothos on the side also looked full of interest when she heard it, and the lady of the county also went out to have a look, but the lady of the county was reluctant, thinking that her daughter was also visiting the county for the first time, so she nodded and agreed, and asked the green pothos to ask the county magistrate if she could send two people to follow them.
The green pothos smiled and thanked him repeatedly, and then trotted to the main hall in front, and brought back the two officials after a while, and Lin Yu saw that it was the two who went to Huaikou Town to pick her up last time.
Mrs. Zhixian was inconvenient to go out because her little feet were wrapped, so only the official and the pothos went out with the three sisters and brothers of Linyu and the apricots.
The county government is located in the center of the county, very prosperous, out of the county government's side door, the pothos is familiar with the road with the forest fish they go to the most prosperous area, she has to go out to buy vegetables every day, where to sell something in the county, she is naturally very clear.
