Chapter 35: Rushing to Eat Vegetables
Kill a chicken? I don't know if Liu will talk about it.
This year's chickens are not small, more than three catties, the chicken is tender, and it is the time to eat. Before he was willing to eat, he was going to kill and invite the guests to eat. Zhao Lan can't do anything about not entertaining guests.
Zhao Lanli caught the fattest chicken and killed it. I thought: If there are many people and small chickens, there will not be enough to eat, and when the time comes, it will be embarrassing to rush to eat! Actually, Zhao Lan thinks too much, no matter how big or small the chicken is, it will not be enough to eat.
Liu Gongzi glanced at it, and saw that Zhao Lan stabbed down cleanly, and the chicken blood flowed into the bowl placed on the ground, and the weakness in his hand fluttered a few times before there was no movement. In just a few minutes, the chicken was completely dead. Liu Gongzi suddenly felt that the back of his neck was cold.
Zhao Lan killed the chicken, boiled the chicken with hot water, washed it again, chopped it into pieces, and prepared to cook the vegetables. The spicy chicken is actually very delicious, but there are many people and guests, and I don't know if I can eat spicy food, so I still do my duty to make a braised chicken.
Prepare the ginger, shallots and garlic, light a fire and start roasting the chicken. Heat the oil, put the ingredients, fry until fragrant, pour in the chicken pieces, stir-fry and put the seasonings, add water and cover the pot over high heat, and then turn to low heat.
Cook some rice in another pot. Then heat the steamed buns that have just been made in the morning.
After the chicken was cooked, Zhao Lan served a large bowl, left a small half bowl of chicken, put a chili pepper and boiled it for another two minutes, and then served it in a small bowl. This small half bowl belongs to me and Zhao Ju, Zhao Lan thought wonderfully as she smelled the fragrant chili pepper.
After a while, Zhao Shen came back from the field and saw Liu Gongzi sitting in the courtyard.
Zhao Shen hurriedly pulled Zhao Lan aside and asked, knowing that Liu Gongzi was here to buy flowers, his heart relaxed, and he hurriedly washed his hands and Zhao Lan was busy with the rest of the dishes.
Cold cucumbers, tomatoes, capers, stir-fried green beans, fried leeks with eggs, fried eggplant, roasted loofah soup. A table of vegetables is grown in the yard.
Because Liu Gongzi came, the dishes were brought to the square table in the hall. Eight dishes and nine bowls. The extra was a small bowl of chicken with chili peppers.
Six people sat down around the table, Zhao Lan pulled Zhao Ju to sit together, and Liu Gongzi and Zhao Lan's brother sat on the right hand.
Zhao Shen politely said to Liu Gongzi to eat more vegetables, and Zhao Ju started, the meat was not clamped, and he took a bite of cucumber. It's hot, and the cold cucumber salad is refreshing. Zhao Chun warmly asked Liu Gongzi to taste more. Liu Gongzi didn't seem to be interested in the dish, but he didn't seem to have seen a cold cucumber, so he also sandwiched a chopsticks cucumber.
It's crunchy with a bit of saltiness and garlic, and it's quite refreshing. So, Liu Gongzi took another bite, and it tasted really good.
Everyone watched Liu Gongzi move the chopsticks, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the dishes were much more casual.
Zhao Ju was about to go to pick up the chicken, but Zhao Lan hurriedly whispered: "The chicken in this small bowl has chili peppers, the two of us will eat it, and leave it in the big bowl for them to eat." ”
"Oh! Oh! Zhao Ju nodded after hearing this, and the chopsticks also shifted from the big bowl to the small bowl. Sandwiched a piece of chicken.
It's still that hot, but the chicken with the chili pepper is so delicious, and it doesn't smell fishy. Zhao Ju ate and sucked the soup on the bones.
Liu Gongzi looked at Zhao Ju and obviously brought the chopsticks into the big bowl and turned into the small bowl after Zhao Lan said a word in his ear, the little girl ate so deliciously, the juice was sucked clean. Liu Gongzi thought: Is it so delicious? Probably not, it must be the reason why I haven't eaten chicken for a long time.
Looking at Zhao Ju's joyful eating, Zhao Lan didn't stretch it into the small bowl. Capers are also good, Zhao Lan is eating capers with chili peppers and a little spicy. It's sour and spicy. Zhao Lan was also very satisfied.
The others didn't stretch their chopsticks into the two bowls, and they ate happily, but their expressions were a little worse than those two girls.
The two girls looked satisfied! It's like eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea. There must be something weird about those two bowls.
A bowl of chopped pieces looks like cowpeas, and a bowl is obviously chicken nuggets!
Looking at Zhao Ju's girl who was drooling when she ate, Liu Gongzi was obviously not hungry, why did he look like he was hungry?
Liu Gongzi secretly thought: I want to eat it when I see it.
If Zhao Lan knew that Liu Gongzi was so careful to observe them.
Just ......, just eat like this, still with this expression. Why can't he stop eating good food because of him? It's not cost-effective.
Zhao Lan and Zhao Ju ate deliciously, and Liu Gongzi finally couldn't resist his greed and sandwiched a piece of chicken into the small bowl. Zhao Ju glared at him, ignored him, and continued to nibble on the chicken, which was so spicy.
Zhao Lan was still eating her capers, and she didn't notice Liu Gongzi. It was also very delicious.
Liu Gongzi put the chicken nuggets in his mouth.
Eh, my lips, my tongue, how hot.
Liu Gongzi didn't dare to spit out, and he didn't dare to swallow. I put it in my mouth and held it, but there was so much saliva in my mouth that it was about to run down, so I had to chew it twice and swallow it. What kind of dish is this? Harm Lao Tzu?
Seeing Zhao Ju clipped another chopstick. And smiled at him.
You little girl laughs at me for not being able to eat.
If Zhao Ju knew that Liu Gongzi thought so, he would definitely be very sad, how dare I laugh at you! It's totally you're thinking too much, I'm just smiling kindly.
Liu Gongzi looked at Zhao Ju's smile and was a little unconvinced, and sandwiched another piece, and greeted Zhao Ju's glare.
What can you do with me except for staring?
Liu Gongzi put the chicken in his mouth with a victorious attitude, and it was still the taste just now! However, it seems that I have gotten used to it. Chew it, it's quite fragrant.
So, Liu Gongzi sandwiched another piece.
Zhao Ju was unhappy, there were only a few pieces in the bowl, and Liu Gongzi had three pieces.
Zhao Ju pointed to the chicken in the big bowl and said, "Brother Liu, you eat the big bowl, this small bowl belongs to me and my sister." ”
Zhao Shen reproached: "Ju'er, how did you speak." ”
After Zhao Shen glared at Zhao Ju, he said to Liu Gongzi: "Liu Gongzi, Ju'er is not sensible, this big bowl is also chicken, the same." ”
Liu Gongzi also glared at Zhao Ju, and said to Zhao Shen embarrassedly: "The small bowl is close to me, and I can get the big bowl anyway." ”
Zhao Lan raised her head when she heard this, and looked at the three people who spoke. How do you feel that Liu Gongzi knows something.
Zhao Lan really wanted to tell Zhao Shen: The taste of these two bowls of chicken is indeed different. Mother, you're wrong.
Liu Gongzi didn't believe that the two bowls were the same, and in order to verify his idea, he sandwiched a large bowl of chicken.
There is no taste at all. Auntie, why are you deceiving people? Liu Gongzi thought while eating.
There were only two pieces of chicken left in the small bowl, and Liu Gongzi was embarrassed to eat it, so he wanted to taste the chopped beans.
Liu Gongzi thought in his mind, and the chopsticks stretched out into the bowl of capers that Zhao Lan ate.
Zhao Lan looked up, there was no expression, no squeak, lowered her head and continued to eat herself. Zhao Ju saw that Liu Gongzi's chopsticks didn't reach into the small bowl anymore, but into the capers' bowl, she stopped and didn't eat, with a good look of drama.
Liu Gongzi looked at the completely different reactions of the two and thought: You two can scare me with different expressions, no way! I've eaten all the spicy stuff, what else can't I eat?
If Liu Gongzi asked, Zhao Lan would definitely answer, you can't eat too much: durian, stinky tofu, fried bugs, raw fish fillet.
Liu Gongzi took a chopstick and put it in his mouth. took a bite, and then lamented in his heart: This time I'm really going to drool, is it against my saliva today?
It's really spicy and sour, how does this come about? I've never eaten something so spicy and so sour, and the most unacceptable thing is that the two flavors are mixed in one dish.
Liu Gongzi frowned and swallowed the capers.
Zhao Ju looked at it and smiled, and Zhao Lan couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth up.
Zhao Chun asked with concern, "Brother Liu?" The dish is not to the taste. I made it blindly, the taste is not too good, and I hope that Brother Liu Haihan. ”
Liu Gongzi shook his head, salted his saliva and said, forced nothing to do, and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Zhao, don't be careful, I eat the taste of the food is quite chic." ”
Zhao Lan thought to herself: Look at what you said high-sounding, you might as well say it bluntly, the taste is special, and you can't accept it more real. It's so tactful and "chic", I'm afraid no one can understand it. Except, of course, we know.
In order to win Zhao Qiu's trust, Liu Gongzi sandwiched another chopsticks of capers.
It's still sour and spicy! Liu Gongzi comforted himself: It is a saving to drink tea with so much saliva.
This time, Liu Gongzi didn't frown again, and Zhao Chun didn't ask again.
I still know my own dishes, but there is no taste, today's chicken is okay, and the cucumbers are quite delicious. In short, today's food is better than ever. It's delicious, it's definitely not as delicious as the Liu family. Zhao Chun thought to himself, the Liu family invited a good cook, not to mention that there were many seasonings, and his own family could not compare with it no matter what. Come to think of it, next time, Brother Liu will not stay at home to eat, that's fine, it's not worrying.
Zhao Chun thinks so, but others don't think so.
First of all, Zhao Lan didn't think like this. If you have eaten spicy food and can eat spicy food, if you eat a dish that is not spicy, you will always feel that something is missing, and no matter how delicious the dish is, you will feel that it is still spicy and delicious. If you look at the dishes of Sichuan, you can see that spicy is also addictive.
Besides, Liu Gongzi didn't think so either. These two spicy dishes are so delicious, a bowl of rice was stripped away, if only in the past, a bowl of rice would not be eaten so easily.
Spicy dishes to eat! You don't understand it yet, but when you do, you'll have a beer belly.
Zhao Ju didn't think so either. The people who are all grabbing food with me will definitely come to eat.
After eating, wipe your mouth.
Well! Eat up!
Liu Gongzi shyly ate his stomach, took a bowl of capers, and went back.
The capers that were supposed to be given to grandma have to be postponed until next time! Zhao Lan thought to herself.
"Wow! So much money again. Zhao Ju opened the purse given by Liu Gongzi and exclaimed.
Zhao Shen scolded with a smile on the side: "What's it called, don't make a fuss." Learn from your sister. ”
Zhao Lan, who didn't speak, said, I was also surprised, I didn't expect six pots of flowers to give six taels of silver.
What are the six taels of silver for?
Zhao Lan was just about to plan, but she saw Zhao Shen quickly put away the silver and said, "Don't look at it, it's all the same, come and put it up for me." Your brother doesn't have to worry about the money for this year's children's exam. ”
The ancients liked to save money, and modern people like moonshine, and the moonshine is not good, and the loan is used to consume in advance.
Zhao Lan couldn't change Zhao Shen's thoughts, so she could only think in her heart: Forget it, let's save it first, there is no place to use it. Now the fields are busy, and it is estimated that no one can be hired to clean up the work in the field, so we will talk about it in winter.
Liu Gongzi didn't ask why he came to buy flowers. I don't know if my brother knows.
"Brother, why did Liu Gongzi come to buy flowers? It's not that he doesn't like flowers. Zhao Lan asked Zhao Chun, who was sitting on the side.
