Chapter 69, a pot of duck soup

Meng Xin took out his mobile phone and thought about it,

In the end, I called Yi Jiaxiang and asked him if he wanted to come to Jiangyuan for the Lantern Festival.

"Celebrating the Lantern Festival? I'm OK here, I can take two days of annual leave, just send me the address.

Lu Yiming, he was staring at me with his eyes next to him, you can talk to him. ”

Meng Xin found out for the first time that Yi Jiaxiang was so cheating people, and he was simply miserable at this moment.

"Xin Xin?"

Lu Yiming found that Meng Xin had not spoken, so he shouted.

"Sixty-two, this call was made by my grandmother, forget it, I just want to ask if you have time to come to my house for the Lantern Festival."

Meng Xin felt that the more he explained, the more chaotic it became, so he simply threw out the question.

"It depends on whether you want me to go to your house for the holidays, or grandma wants me."

Lu Yiming's thick vinegar can be smelled through the phone.

"Yes, I want you to come, really."

Meng Xin didn't expect to overturn because of a phone call, this attitude is simply not too good.

"Is that grandma not wanting me to go?"

Lu Yiming meant that grandma didn't call you to call me, so you called Yi Jiaxiang.

"No, no, grandma wants you to come. It's my mistake, I should have called you first. ”

Lu Yiming originally meant to tease her, but he didn't expect to be anxious for her.

"Okay, wait for me at home tomorrow!"

That meant he agreed.

A phone call,

Meng Xin also played a little hard.

"Are they coming?"

Grandma saw that Meng Xin chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone, so she hurriedly asked.

"Come on."

Meng Xin put his mobile phone on the coffee table, remembering that his grandfather hadn't taken the medicine at night, so he went to the kitchen and poured a glass of boiled water.

"Grandpa, I've taken my medicine."

In the hospital, she was responsible for reminding her grandfather to take medicine on time every day, and it became a habit when she came back.

"Alas, I'm getting old, and I don't need to eat to be full with such a large handful of medicine every day."

My grandfather had a stent fitted, and the doctor told me that I had to take these medicines for at least a year, and some of them had to be taken for life.

"Grandpa, there are only these two pills at night, how can there be a lot, you hurry up and eat it, I have already prepared it for you to eat tomorrow morning, remember to take medicine when you get up in the morning."

Maybe it's because he's sick, and grandpa's memory is not as good as before, these days, in order to let grandpa remember what medicine to take at what time, Meng Xin specially made a medicine box, dividing the morning, noon, night, and sleeping medicines, indicating which is before the meal and which is after the meal.

"You said you're fine at home now, but you're going to school, and I can't tell the difference between so many medicines."

Grandma couldn't help but nag Meng Xin when Grandpa went to the room tomorrow morning.

yes, that's a real problem. She is not at home, who will remind grandpa to take medicine on time.

"Grandma, it's okay, I'll think about it again, there will be a way."

Meng Xin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, it turned out that she had grown up, and her grandfather would really get old.

"Grandma, I don't want to grow up so soon."

Meng Xin nestled in her grandmother's arms and said coquettishly, she seemed to notice suddenly, I don't know when grandpa and grandpa had half-white hair.

"Silly boy, everyone gets old one day, I just hope to see the day you get married and have children, and there will be no regrets in this life."

Grandma patted Meng Xin's back and comforted her.

"Your grandfather was able to pick up this life this time, I am already very content in my heart, I know, he is reluctant to you. Since your parents divorced, we have one idea to raise you well. Silly child, don't cry, grandpa has been in good health all these years and will not leave you so early. Girls are going to be beautiful, and they will be hurt in the future. ”

Grandma wiped away Meng Xin's tears, and looked at her big teary eyes to know that she was really sad.

"I just went into the room, why are you two still crying, what happened?"

Grandpa came out and saw such a picture, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Grandpa, you and Grandma will definitely live a long life."

Meng Xin ran over and gave his grandfather the same hug, and the grievances in his eyes made anyone feel distressed when they saw it.

"Let's go, don't be sad, grandpa promised you that you will live a long time. Aren't they coming to Jiaxiang tomorrow for the holiday? I'm going to stew some soup and give you a good hand. ”

Grandpa probably also knew that Meng Xin was sad for Ha, and while feeling distressed, he explained.

"Grandpa, you can't work yet, or you can teach me, I should be able to learn how to stew."

For the first time, Meng Xin began to take cooking seriously, and she always felt that her grandfather was there, and she could eat whatever she wanted.

And now she suddenly wants to learn how to cook, and she can cook it for her grandpa in the future.

"Okay, the stew is simple, I'll teach you how to make it step by step, our family Xin Xin has really grown up and knows how to be considerate."

A sudden illness changed the minds of both grandparents and grandchildren, and grandpa suddenly thought that sooner or later they would have to leave her one day, and at that time they had at least learned to cook so that they would not go hungry.

"Xin Xin, wash this old duck first, when chopping it, remove the head first, remove the claws, and then cut it in half in the middle, yes, it doesn't matter if it's faster, the horizontal knife is smaller."

Grandpa was on the side to guide the whole process, and Meng Xin started by cutting duck meat.

"Grandpa, is that so?"

Meng Xin followed the instructions every step of the way, but there were always times when it was difficult to get things done, such as the finished product cut out of the duck at the end, which was large and small.

"It's okay, although relying on this brute force, it's better to finish cutting, the first time, it's not bad, but the knife technique is too rusty, you have to practice it well."

Grandpa gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"I'll study hard."

Although Meng Xin felt that every step was not easy, her attitude towards learning was resolute.

"Okay, the ginger is washed, you have to peel and slice it, this duck soup ginger is the key, this must be missing.

And this radish is also particular, you must choose this kind of big and green head. If the radish has this texture, it is old, and it is not delicious when stewed. ”

Grandpa taught every process very carefully, and Meng Xin also learned seriously.

"The duck is fried in oil first, so that the soup is stewed and fragrant, wait a minute, the oil must be hot before it can be cooked, pay attention, don't splash yourself."

Meng Xin was far away from the stove, and wrapped one hand in his sleeve to prevent himself from being splashed with oil. The work was ridiculous, but every step was done by hand.

"Okay, very good, grandpa will teach you a little more key secret recipe, one is that this soup must be boiled with hot water, so that the color of the stewed soup is correct.

In addition, this secret cooking wine is the essence of this soup, so you must not forget it.

Also, after the fire boils, we have to turn to low heat and stew slowly.

Your grandmother and I are not very good, so I usually stew some rotten, and you can slowly master this time. ”

The grandfather and grandson spent two hours in the kitchen before they could make a pot of soup. But they all felt a special sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

This is the first dish that Meng Xin has finished.

Grandma watched this warm scene from the side, and instantly burst into tears.
