After Liping entered the kitchen, she looked around the stove and saw that the stove was installed on the east wall of the kitchen room, and the liquefied gas stove with two burners was installed on the stove. On the right side of the liquefied gas stove is a 50 cm long and 40 cm wide marble platform, on which cooking materials such as cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, monosodium glutamate, and sugar are neatly placed;

Underneath the marble platform, a row of cabinets with four small doors is installed.

To the left of the stove, the north wall at a 90-degree angle is followed by a marble platform two meters long and half a meter wide.

The platform was on this end of the stove, and two rectangular openings were dug. In the middle of the rectangular opening, a tap and a stainless steel basin for washing vegetables are installed.

On the platform without an opening on the left side of the washing basin, it is the place to cut vegetables, put vegetables, and put tableware.

On the wall above the platform where vegetables are cut, put vegetables, and put tableware, there is also a wall cabinet of about 1.5 square meters; And underneath the marble platform, there is also a utility cabinet with small doors and drawers.

After reading the basic layout of the kitchen, Liping found that the four dishes and one soup that Lingzi said earlier about cooking tonight, that is, braised pork, steamed sea bass, braised pigeon soup, stir-fried spinach, sliced pork and artemisia shoots and other raw materials have been neatly and orderly placed on the marble countertop on the left side of the vegetable washing basin.

Liping got a rough idea of where the cooking utensils might be placed, so she opened the door of the closet above the marble platform and began to look for the utensils for braised pork and braised pigeon soup.

"Liping, don't look for it. Let me tell you, the braised pork is roasted in this non-stick pot; As for the pigeon soup, it is to be cooked in that casserole. ”

Lingzi saw that Liping insisted on helping, but she couldn't stop her, so she had to tell Liping about the kitchen utensils for making braised pork and braised pigeon soup.

Just do it!

After Liping knew the location of the kitchenware, she immediately took out the non-stick pot and put it on the stove, lit the fire, poured olive oil into the pot, and after the oil was hot, she poured the pork pieces that Lingzi had already cut into the pot, and stir-fried it for a while, and then added water to the pot, put soy sauce, salt, sugar, ginger slices, and put a little cooking wine, when the water and various condiments flooded the pork pieces, Liping covered the pot again, adjusted the flame of the stove to a position that was not too big or small, and began to let the fried pork boil on the fire.

"Oh, Liping, I didn't expect you to make braised pork too, and you are so proficient!"

Reiko watched Liping cook braised pork with ease, her movements were swift, and every procedure was in order. Three times five divided by two, and after a while, it will enter the braised bish.

Moreover, Lingzi was also surprised to find that when Liping put oil, salt, soy sauce, water, sugar, ginger, and cooking wine into the braised pork, the amount was just right, just like an old chef who was very proficient, and she couldn't help but admire it secretly, and she couldn't help but praise it.

"Reiko, thank you for the compliment. As I told you, when I was at home, I used to cook in the kitchen. ”

Liping replied with a humble smile.

While speaking, Liping took out the casserole on the marble platform again and checked it.

When she saw that the casserole was clean inside and out, she put the prepared pigeon into the casserole, poured cold water into it, and when the water covered the pigeon and was more than a third of it, she put a spoon of salt and a few slices of ginger in it, poured a little cooking wine, and gently put it on the stove.

Just as Liping was lighting the fire, she suddenly heard a "click" on the door of the living room!

Who's back?

Liping and Reiko turned their heads to look at the door of the living room at about the same time, but they didn't care, but they found that the hostess of the villa, that is, Liping's mother-in-law, was back!

"Oops, oops! Liping, Auntie is back, you get out of here quickly! ”

Reiko immediately sensed that the situation was not good, and quickly whispered softly and quickly in Liping's ear.

When Liping heard that her mother-in-law was back, her heart also jumped.

Liping knew that if her mother-in-law saw herself cooking in the kitchen, she would definitely embarrass the nanny and blame herself!

So she quickly relaxed the button of the liquefied gas stove that was lighting the fire, turned around and hurriedly slipped towards the restaurant.

Surprisingly, just as Liping turned to leave the stove, in the midst of the chaos, one of her hands didn't pay attention, and touched the plate containing raw bass on the marble platform.

The raw sea bass on the plate also slipped to the ground and fell dirty.

"Reiko, what's wrong?! What knocked out? ”

At the entrance of the living room, the mayor's wife immediately asked in surprise.

Then the mayor's wife strode from the living room to the kitchen.

The mayor's wife was still carrying a bag of fresh oranges that were red and yellow.

"Auntie, I, I, accidentally knocked over the plate containing the fish."

The little nanny was nervous and hurried to report the situation to the hostess, and took the responsibility for breaking the plate on herself.

"No, Mom, it's me, it's me who just watched Reiko cook here and accidentally knocked over the plate containing the fish."

Liping has never been willing to let others carry the black pot for herself, and now she naturally refuses to let the little nanny carry the black pot for herself, so she quickly took back the responsibility.

"Gee, what's going on with you guys? Hey, Reiko, what's wrong with your hands?! ”

The mayor's wife was about to criticize Liping and Reiko, when she suddenly saw a band-aid wrapped around the index finger of the little nanny's left hand, and immediately put the orange she was carrying in her right hand on the marble platform, and then grabbed Reiko's left hand to carefully look at the wound.

"When I was cutting a pigeon just now, I accidentally got a cut with a knife. happened to be seen by Liping. It's a band-aid for Liping's help. ”

Reiko replied to the hostess with a blushing face.

"Hey, I said you, you've been doing the kitchen for a long time, why do you still hurt your hands? You see, your hands are broken, your plates are broken, and the fish are falling to the ground and getting dirty. Reiko, no matter what you do, you have to use snacks! ”

The mayor's wife reproached the little nanny with some anger.

"No, Mom, it's all my fault. I accidentally touched the broken plate and the perch! ”

Liping saw her mother-in-law lowering her face to criticize the nanny, and she was very upset, so she took the initiative to take responsibility for herself.

"Hey——, aren't you taking a nap upstairs? How could you be in the kitchen? ”

It wasn't until this time that the mayor's wife seemed to find out that Liping was very wrong in the kitchen!

So she turned her head to stare at her daughter-in-law and asked.

"I, I was watching TV in the living room just now, and I heard Reiko's hand cut by a kitchen knife, so I came to the kitchen to help her with the wound."

Liping immediately explained to her mother-in-law.

"So, what's cooking on this stove?"

The mayor's wife glanced at Liping suspiciously, walked to the stove, opened the lid of the pot that was braised pork to take a look, and after re-closing, she turned to Reiko and asked:

"Reiko, when did you stew this braised pork? Did you stew it yourself? ”

"I-I-"

Reiko is also a girl who is not good at telling lies, and when she saw the hostess questioning like this, she suddenly lost her mind.

The mayor's wife saw that she was speechless for a long time, and felt that there was something strange in it, so she turned to stare at Liping again and asked:

"Girl, you're not here to help Reiko cook, are you?"

"Oh, I didn't, I didn't!"

Liping hurriedly shook her head and said:

"I saw that Reiko's hand was injured, so I helped her get the pot."

"Hey——, you, you! Reiko, and you——! ”

The mayor's wife shook her head at Liping for a while, then turned around and pointed at the nanny and said:

"Didn't I tell you over and over again? Don't let Liping do any housework, why don't you have a long memory? ”

"Yes, yes. Auntie, I'm wrong! ”

Under the harsh accusation of the hostess, Reiko seemed to be submissive.

"Ahem, your hand was scratched today, which is also a special case. Forget it, hurry up and pick up the bass and sweep the pieces off the plate. It's not too early now, so it's time to hurry up and cook. You haven't started cooking the rest of the dishes yet, have you? ”

After the hostess criticized Liping and Reiko, she saw that it was not too early, so she asked the little nanny.

"Yes, there are also steamed sea bass, stir-fried spinach, and sliced pork with artemisia. I'll do it right away. Auntie, would you please go back to the living room? Liping, will you go back to the living room too? ”

In front of the angry mayor's wife, Reiko showed a pitiful look.

"Okay. Let's go, Liping, let's go back to the living room. You see, Mom just bought you a few catties of oranges. Mom tasted it, it tasted very sweet! Let's go, let's go to the living room. ”

The mayor's wife was ready to go back to the living room.

When she turned to leave the kitchen, she saw that Liping was still stunned in the kitchen, so she grabbed her arm and walked to the living room.

After arriving in the living room, the mayor's wife put the orange in her hand on the coffee table and told Liping to sit down on the single sofa.

She herself sat down on the three-seater sofa, then opened the bag of oranges on the coffee table, and took out four fist-sized oranges from it and placed them on the coffee table.

Then, he picked up one of the oranges and peeled it into four petals, gave two petals to Liping, kept two petals for himself, and said to Liping lovingly:

"Girl, try it, this tastes very good, better than the oranges your father bought last time! Sweet, with a slight sourness. The person who sells oranges said that this kind of orange is the most suitable for pregnant women! Hey, girl, eat quickly! ”

As she spoke, the mayor's wife broke open the two oranges in her hand and stuffed one of them into her mouth, as if to prove to her daughter-in-law that she was "not poisonous".

After she took two bites, she urged Liping again:

"Girl, eat quickly!"

"Whoa."

Liping obediently broke open the oranges that her mother-in-law gave her, and put one of them into her mouth:

Well——, it's really sweet and slightly sour, and the taste is really good!

So, Liping lowered her head and quickly finished eating the two oranges in her hand.

Before Liping could stop, the mayor's wife peeled another orange and handed the peeled orange petal to her.

Moreover, the mayor's wife stuffed all the peeled four-petal oranges into Liping's hands this time, and said with a smile:

"Girl, I said it was delicious, right? If you are pregnant and pregnant with a boy, you should eat more sour things, and preferably sour fruits! ”

"Mom, I'll do it myself."

Liping took the peeled oranges from her mother-in-law, and felt embarrassed to always let her serve herself, so she said while eating.

"It's okay, I've told you how many times, now, you don't have to think about anything, the only task is to give birth to a chubby little grandson for me!"

The mother-in-law smiled and watched her daughter-in-law eat oranges sweetly, as if she was watching her future grandson eat oranges.

When Liping was about to finish eating the oranges in her hand, the mayor's wife heard the sound of the little nanny stir-frying from the kitchen, so she glanced at the kitchen, lowered her voice and said to Liping:

"Girl, I remind you again, you don't have to do any housework at home! As for the kitchen, you can't even interfere. To be honest, did you help Reiko cook just now? ”

"No, no. Mom, I, I really didn't help Reiko cook! ”

Liping hurriedly shook her head and denied it.

This will, she is not worried that her mother-in-law will criticize her, but that her mother-in-law will criticize the nanny.

Because she saw it with her own eyes just now, when her mother-in-law pulled down her face to blame Reiko, her face was also ugly.

"Well, it's good if you don't. However, you must remember what Mom told you! Otherwise, if I see you helping Reiko with housework, I'm going to criticize you! Okay, as long as you remember Mom's words. Come on, let's go ahead and eat our oranges. ”

As she spoke, the mayor's wife picked up an orange on the coffee table and peeled it for her daughter-in-law sincerely.
