Chapter 34: A Treat

After locking the cabinet, Wen Shu sneaked out of the room and returned to the place where the car was placed by the courtyard gate, and then looked up at Father Wen, who was squatting on the roof with his back to her, and shouted deliberately: "Dad, I'm back." ”

Wen Tai turned around and looked down when he heard the sound, saw her pushing the cart in, and asked with a smile: "Everything is sold out?" ”

Wen Shu suddenly straddled his shoulders, "No, there are still a lot left." ”

Wentai paused, and then smiled and comforted, "It's okay, it's leftover, it's the same for us to keep and eat at home." ”

"Yes, Aning is already very capable." Sun Heping on the roof also smiled and comforted.

Wen Shu nodded helplessly, unloaded the things in the car and moved them into the kitchen, and then began to prepare lunch.

Inviting guests to eat is particular about the plate, the plate can not be singular, generally six dishes or eight dishes, Wen Shu father and daughter discussed, and finally decided to make eight dishes.

They are good friends with the Sun family, although they usually help the Sun family, but last time Wen Shu was seriously ill, the Sun family also helped a lot, especially Li Niangzi, who insisted on guarding her all night when she was sick, this favor has to be remembered.

Ordinary people don't pursue how gorgeous the dishes are, as long as the portions are enough and the taste is good, so Wen Shu decided on the menu she thought was suitable after some consideration.

Half an hour later, the cold wind was still blowing, but it also drifted the aroma of the Wen family's kitchen to a more selective choice.

The three people working on the roof were all hooked by this fragrance, and Wentai was better, after all, he often ate the dishes made by Wenshu, so he had some resistance.

But Wang Chao and Sun Heping on the side had no intention of doing their work, and said curiously: "I said brother, what kind of good dish is this eldest niece, this aroma, how can I smell like an eel?" ”

Wentai laughed: "It's not an eel, I saw someone selling it when I passed through the West Market yesterday, so I bought two, it just so happened that A-Ning learned a fungus eel soup from school last month, I ate it once, it tastes good, and you can taste it later." ”

"Oh, that's a blessing!" Sun Heping said happily: "I heard that the dishes taught by the chef in the school can only be eaten in restaurants, but now we are gone." ”

The dynasty on the side, after hearing this, all envied and said: "It's still blessed with Taizi, I gave birth to a caring girl who can cook tea and dinner, unlike my family who only gave birth to three stinky boys, and a girl didn't have a turn, if only someone could change with me." “

Wentai laughed when he heard this: "Brother just said this, if you really exchange the girl for your kid, I'm afraid you will be reluctant to do it." ”

"Hey, that's wrong." Wang Chao shouted at him: "If you don't believe it, you take your family A-Ning for me, you see if I can change it, how can this stinky boy have a good daughter, and there are three of them in my family, you say that you are not angry, but also your sister-in-law's stomach is not angry, and a girl can't give birth." ”

Sun Heping also made fun on the side: "No, my family only has two boys, and I have complained to your sister-in-law before, but fortunately, now that Da Lang has married a daughter-in-law, I can still hope to have a granddaughter in the future." ”

What they said was not all a compliment, in fact, the middle and lower class people in Tokyo City looked forward to having daughters more than sons, because in Tokyo City, daughters' families can also go out to work, especially those little ladies who have a plan, sometimes even earn more than boys, and become the pillars of the family.

For this reason, there was a trend of preference for women over men among the people of Tokyo.

Just when the adults were talking and laughing, Mrs. Li led the family to the door, and Wen Shu was busy in the kitchen at that time, and there was no one to greet the guests.

But fortunately, the relationship between the Sun family and the Wen family is very good, and there are not so many courtesies, Xiao Qian's swept around and disappeared, so he went directly into the kitchen.

"It's so fragrant, what kind of good dishes does my sister make, do you want me to help?"

"No, no, everything is ready, the kitchen is smoking, sister-in-law should go out and sit quickly."

Xiao Qian swept around the kitchen, and saw that there was really nothing to help with, so he said, "Why don't I stay and help you make the fire." “

Wen Shu turned his head to look at her, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, my sister-in-law is wearing such a bright dress today, don't rub the dust and get dirty, the fire is fine, I can support it myself." ”

Seeing her say this, Xiao Qian looked at the newly worn red jacket skirt on her body, nodded and said, "Cheng, then I'll go out first, if my sister has something, just say hello." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, let's go." Wen Shu responded as he put the fried yellow rolls (soybean sprouts) in the pot on a plate.

Two quarters of an hour later, the steaming six dishes, one soup and one cold dish were served to Wen Shu and Xiao Qian's family, in addition to a pot of three yellow wine sold by Li Jijiao's shop.

The six hot dishes are: red crispy pork, whitebait egg custard, braised belly with mandarin ducks, milk room sticks, fragrant dried yellow rolls and stir-fried white siads.

The soup is a soup with fungus and eel, in addition to a cold dish of braised sheep's trotters, and two plates of two kinds of sugar silk thread and honey sesame cake bought at Nan Kee Pastry Shop.

There are not so many courtesies in the common people's homes, and there is no rule that women are not allowed to sit at the table, so the Sun family, Wen Shu's father and daughter, and the uncle dynasty who came to help with the work sat around the table of eight immortals.

It's just that men and women sit on both sides, with men sitting next to men and women sitting next to women.

Looking at the red, white and white dishes on the table, the flowers are green, and the few dishes that make people's appetite move at a glance shine in everyone's eyes.

Wen Shu gave the hot Sanhuang wine to the Sun family's father and son, as well as her father and Uncle Wang, and beckoned Li Niangzi and Xiao Qian to say, "Uncle and sister-in-law want to eat some?" ”

Li Niangzi waved her hand again and again, and coughed lightly: "Where can I eat wine in my body, just ask your sister-in-law if she can eat?" ”

Xiao Qian lowered his head and smiled: "If my mother-in-law doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either." ”

Wen Shu said: "In this way, I still have two jars of pear paste made in autumn in my room, since my aunt can't eat wine, then I will take this pear paste to mix it into pear thirst water, and our mother will drink a few of them, it just so happens that pears also have the effect of moistening the liver and lungs, and it is also good for uncle's cough and asthma." ”

After listening to this, Mrs. Li nodded again and again: "That makes it." ”

Seven-year-old Sun Erlang on the side also jumped up at this time and said, "Sister A-Ning, I want it too, I want it too, I want it too, I want to drink sweet pear water." “

Wen Shu smiled and nodded his little head, and responded: "Yes, how can we be missing Erlang." ”

The crowd laughed and teased him a few more times.

After a while, Wen Shu brought the prepared fragrant pear thirsty water, poured a bowl for Li Niangzi, Xiao Qian's, and Sun Erlang, and the banquet began.

It was cold and windy outside, but inside the house was lively and warm like spring.

As the feast was halfway through, the whole room was filled with praise.

After Xiao Qian's tasted the eel soup, he couldn't stop praising it: "This eel soup made by my sister is really not fishy at all, it is rare and very fresh, this eel I have also made at home every day, but I used many methods to get rid of the fish, and in the end the fishy smell is gone, but the umami is also gone." “

"No, what's it called..... Signed by the milk room, ouch, it's the first time I've eaten such a dish, it's fragrant and smooth, and it's goat's milk added here. Mrs. Li ordered a plate of pale soup on the table.

Wen Shu smiled: "It does add goat milk, this dish was newly learned from the chef in the school, and this is the second time I have made it." “

Li Niangzi nodded and praised a few words, but she didn't ask about the specific method of cooking, this Wen family deliberately spent thirty times to learn, she couldn't open her mouth.
