Chapter 20: Picking
There was a pot and bowl on the long table against the wall.
It is a dish that has already been cooked.
The big greens, the stems and leaves are separated, the leaves are fried, and the vegetable stems are burned with soy sauce to make them red and bright, which is delicious and goes down to rice.
The bacon fried garlic is so fragrant that it makes people drool, of course, there is more garlic and less meat.
Each dish was divided into three portions.
Hmph, this Xu looks disgusting, and this dish is fried refreshingly.
Zhao secretly slandered in his heart.
There are three daughters-in-law in the family, and she is only satisfied with Xu's cooking skills.
But Rao is like this, and it can't change Xu's status in her mind.
Zhao took a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks and walked to the desk.
Her next action made Qiduo speechless.
Zhao used chopsticks to pull among the three pots of bacon and garlic, and his lips moved slightly.
Qiduo shook his head secretly, this old lady is really harsh, she can count the number of pieces of meat.
It's just that this meat was not cut by the Zhao family, and Qiduo didn't understand how she knew if there was less meat in the Dao Dao.
However, Qiduo can understand Zhao's behavior, there are more monks and less porridge.
There are more than 20 people in the family, and the family is not rich, although it is better than the average family in the village, but most of the time it is coarse tea and light rice, and meat is rarely seen.
Finally, there are meat dishes, which one is not greedy.
Zhao was worried that if he didn't star, he would get into the mouth of the cook.
Qiduo retracted his gaze and continued to cut the garlic with his head down, ready to shiver the vegetables.
She had already used her ability to remove the bitter taste of the vegetables, blanched them with boiling water, and waited for the garlic paste and oil and salt to be added.
Zhao put down his chopsticks, his face slightly relaxed.
"Hmph, my mouth is heavy, so I've eaten a few pieces." Zhao scolded with a cold face.
and glared at Xu with cold eyes.
"Grandma, we won't steal it, if you don't believe it, you can come and smell our mouth." Liuju puffed out his cheeks and helped to refute.
was wronged for no reason, and she was very unconvinced.
"Ju, don't be rude." Xu glared at her.
Then he looked at Zhao and said warmly, "Mother, our mothers just smell the fragrance, and they don't dare to move the meat at all, and they don't even dare to taste the saltiness." ”
Xu's expression was calm and bitter, and his back was straight.
She knew very well that whether she had eaten secretly or not, Zhao's heart was like a mirror.
"Phew, you know if you eat or not.
Look at your bad looks, I haven't said a word yet, you have poured a dozen sentences.
It's all Dekin's lifeless dead thing, and I will get used to you like this, and when my body is better, I'll see how I can clean you up. Zhao's face became more and more gloomy, and his scolding became even more mean and ugly.
Xu gritted his teeth secretly, and his eyes were a little red.
Qiduo paused as he chopped garlic, and resisted the urge to take a knife to cut Zhao.
Erxia got up and pulled the six oranges to the stove.
She was worried that Liuju's hot temper would quarrel with the Zhao family.
Zhao scolded his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, felt very comfortable, and took three pots of bacon and fried garlic.
There's no way she's going to be watching from the kitchen.
You have to put it in your room to feel at ease.
This is because she is sick and weak, otherwise she would easily spare the Xu family.
"It's really excessive, we didn't eat at all, if we have to be wronged for stealing food, sooner or later we will be angry to death." Liuju hated the tongs and said angrily.
Xu's lips were pursed, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Eat less, do more, she can stand it.
But she can't stand the stigma when she steals food!
According to her original temper, she must step forward to have a good theory with the Zhao family.
But if this is done, it will definitely cause the children to be wronged.
"Mother, don't be like grandma, she is a bone in an egg.
You don't know her temper yet, you can do something without a problem, we just need to have a clear conscience. Qiduo put down the kitchen knife, took Xu's somewhat cold hand, and comforted softly.
"Yes, mother, it's not worth it to be angry." Erxia and Liuju also walked up to her and persuaded her.
Xu Shi lightly chucked, "Mother is not angry, Duo, don't arrange your milk behind your back, if she hears it, it will not be good."
Actually, whether we have eaten secretly or not, your milk knows it in your heart. ”
The voice was very low.
Qiduo asked curiously, "Mother, how does grandma know if there is less meat in Lu Dao?" Didn't she cut it? ”
The corners of Xu's lips curled, revealing a hint of irony.
"Your grandmother will cut the bacon into pieces of the same size, and she knows how many slices each piece can be cut." Xu said.
"But the number of slices can't be the same as that of thick and thin?" Seven flowers are puzzled.
Xu Shi smiled again, "Your milk will be estimated based on the thickness of the meat slices." ”
Qiduo's dark eyes widened, and she couldn't return to her senses for a long time.
God, there is still this ability, it's really a miracle in the world!
The admiration for the Zhao family suddenly seemed like a surging river, endlessly.
Liuju pouted and said, "Hmph, the milk is honest and honest, and you won't play any tricks behind your back."
Like Erniang and Sanniang, when they cook, every time the meat is milk, they watch them cut it in front of them.
But after the grandmother counted the slices and left, they immediately cut the thick slices into thin slices and ate them on their backs. ”
Xu shook his head and said, "What's the harm if you eat more and less, if you eat this meal, won't you eat the next meal?"
It's just that the mother is useless, but you are so tired that you always follow behind and be wronged. ”
"Mother, you are talking stupidly again." Erxia said softly, her red lips pursed, and she didn't like Xu to speak like this.
"What grievances are not wronged, as long as you are happy, we will be happy." Liuju and Qiduo said.
Xu looked at his sensible and well-behaved daughters and smiled very happily.
Seven garlic chopped and ready to mix vegetables, suddenly found that there was no sesame oil!
She struggled to search through the memories of her original owner.
In my memory, the Tan family had never eaten sesame oil, nor had they eaten cold dishes.
Alas, they all blame themselves for being too careless and forgetting this stubble.
"Mother, is there sesame oil sold in the market?" Qiduo asked Xu.
"Sesame oil?" Xu Shimei's eyes blinked, and he shook his head slightly, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"Oh, I've seen it at Aunt Shen's house, it's so fragrant." Seven flowers responded easily.
However, her eyes lit up again.
The Tan family grows sesame seeds, which are mainly used to make glutinous rice ball filling, mixed with fried rice to make sesame powder, and the excess will be sold to dim sum shops.
Sesame oil!
Hehe, could this be another way to make money?
Seven Dark Flowers.
There was no sesame oil, so she had to cook a little canola oil to make do.
Both large iron pots are steaming, one is white rice, and the other is boiling water, ready to make a spinach soup.
Spinach can be made with vermicelli, pork liver, meatballs, and eggs.
But none of these things are there at the moment.
But Qiduo is not worried that the soup made with spinach alone is not delicious.
When the water is boiling, pour all the blanched and chopped spinach into the pot and stir well with a spatula.
Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil again and add the oil and salt.
At the end of the day, the starch is thickened with potato powder mixed with water.
Well, a pot of green spinach soup is freshly baked.
"Well, this soup smells so good, but it doesn't look good." Liuju said with a sniff.
"It's incense." Xu Shi and Er Xia also nodded in agreement.
Qiduo smiled and scooped a spoonful into the bowl and handed it to Liuju, "Second sister, this is my first time cooking, help me taste the taste." ”
Liuju subconsciously turned his head to look outside the kitchen, swallowed his saliva and shook his head, "Forget it, if you are seen, you should say anything gossip." ”
"You take it, I'll go to the door and watch." Qiduo pursed her lips, handed the bowl to Liuju, and walked to the kitchen door by herself.
Liuju couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma, gently blew down the spinach soup with his mouth, and took a sip of it.
His eyes turned, the corners of his mouth immediately hooked up, and he hurriedly handed the bowl to Xu, "Mother, eldest sister, you can also taste it, this soup is really delicious, so fresh, drink it quickly." ”
Xu and Erxia didn't believe it, and both of them took a sip.
"Ah, it's delicious." Erxia praised.
"Duo, how do you make this soup, why is it so delicious?" Xu asked Qiduo with a smile.
Qiduo secretly pursed her lips and smiled.
"Hehe, how to do it, haven't you all seen it, spinach must be blanched in water, remove some of the astringency, and the soup will taste delicious." Qiduo said with a blink of dark eyes.
The soup is delicious, of course, thanks to the spiritual spring water.
She hadn't used her abilities yet, otherwise the soup would have tasted even better.
It's just that it's too brilliant and will arouse the suspicion of others, so let's take it slowly.
Qiduo's words, the Xu family did not doubt it, because no one had ever made a soup with spinach before.
I haven't done it before, so I naturally don't know what the soup made from spinach tastes like.
The spinach soup contains three large clay pots, each about the same size as the basin.
The meal has been prepared, and Qiduo and Erxia have already gone to set the table and prepare for the meal.
Serving the food and serving the meal, the family will sit at the table.
Looking at the crowded scene, Qiduo has the feeling of eating in the cafeteria.
When a large pot of spinach soup was placed in the center of the table, everyone was amazed.
"What is this?" Everyone looked at the soup and intuitively thought it was not delicious.
But they didn't explain.
And when Zhao put the garlic fried bacon on the table, the eyes of the Wu family lit up.
"Come, osmanthus, eat bacon, it was stolen and eaten by those who don't know the face and skin, and I don't know how many pieces there are." Zhao said meaningfully while picking the bacon from the basin.
From time to time, the corner of her eye drifted towards the seven flowers.
And the Yang family and the others naturally understood the meaning of Zhao's words, and also looked at Qiduo and them.
There was contempt in their eyes.
Xu's dough was hot, and there was a sense of humiliation.
Erxia, who was sitting between Qiduo and Liuju, took the hands of the two of them respectively and motioned for them not to speak.
Qiduo quietly took Xu's hand and comforted him silently.
There is no specific amount of bacon, whether it is eaten secretly or not, it is not a word or two that can be distinguished.
And it doesn't make sense with Zhao.
"Mother, I want to eat meat." Shichiro went to push Yang and shouted loudly.
Yang hurriedly retracted his gaze and quickly took the chopsticks to clamp it.
Seeing this, Wu did not show weakness and also moved chopsticks.
"What are you doing? I didn't kill you yesterday, did you dare to eat meat? Zhao snapped and slapped Wu's chopsticks and scolded with a cold face.
"Ah, mother, it's all in the past, why do you still mention it." Wu said with an embarrassed smile.
He was smiling, but he was secretly crushing his teeth.
He took back his chopsticks and changed to the vegetable pole, not daring to beat the idea of meat for the time being.
Rokuro looked at the bacon and swallowed quietly.
However, when he saw that his mother and three sisters were not good-looking, he did not ask for it, but took the green vegetables and lowered his head to eat.
Qiduo saw Liulang's small movements, his heart was sour, and he took the chopsticks and wanted to clip the pieces to him.
Zhao took the basin up, "Leave some for your fourth and fifth uncles to eat." ”
Seven raised eyebrows.
"Mother, give three peaches and five apricots." Yang said with a smile.
Zhao wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Tan Deyin had given him a bracelet in the morning, he had to clip two pieces and give one for each of the three peaches and five apricots.
"Milk, give Rokuro a piece too." Qiduo also said with a smile.
