Chapter Ninety-Five: Back to the Pot

That night, Luo Qinghe personally made yellow eel tofu soup, of course, the yellow eel was killed by Luo Jiadi.

Cut the yellow eel into small pieces, chop the garlic, ginger and chili pepper for later use, and cut the white and tender tofu into even small pieces.

The ingredients are ready, Luo Jiahe will burn the fire, Luo Qinghe will start work, first blanch the yellow eel and tofu in hot water, there is no mucus on the surface of the scalded yellow eel, and the tofu can remove some beany smell after scalding, and it is not easy to break when it is boiled in the pot.

Then the pot is boiled dry, put the lard, wait for the lard to melt and cook, stir-fry the garlic and ginger a few times, then add the yellow eel, fry until seven or eight minutes cooked, the yellow eel noodles are slightly burnt and fragrant, pour in two large scoops of water, cover the lid and boil.

After boiling, Luo Qinghe lifted the lid of the pot, the soup was milky white, put in the tofu cubes, and after boiling again, add salt, and finally sprinkle some chili peppers to enhance the flavor, but not too spicy, and it was out of the pot.

"It's too fragrant." Wang Guihua and his entourage all came around.

"It's delicious." Luo Jiashu secretly swallowed his saliva when he saw it.

"There's nothing you look at that doesn't taste good." Wang Guihua, as always, demolished his own grandson's platform.

"Milk, wait for you to drink one more bowl." Luo Jiashu smiled and helped Wang Guihua to sit down, "Later, when my daughter-in-law enters the door, I will ask for some milk to save some face for my grandson." ”

Wang Guihua was happy, and Luo Laotian and the others couldn't help laughing.

Luo Qinghe made yellow eel tofu soup, and the rest of the dishes were made by Liu Lan and Tian Cuizhu, fried a shredded artichoke, stir-fried a pig's heart, cut a pot of pickles, three dishes and one soup, and the staple food was brown rice and dry rice.

"Yougen is going to school tomorrow, and tonight we'll have a dry meal to celebrate." Wang Guihua said with a smile.

The family ate with a mouthful of oil, especially praising the yellow eel tofu soup made by Luo Qinghe.

"I didn't expect the yellow eel to taste so good." Luo Jiadi said with a smile, "Qinghe, do you still want the silt at the bottom of the pond?" If you want, the eldest brother will go back tomorrow, and then you can catch a few more yellow eels and come back. ”

Luo Qinghe shook his head, "There is no need at the moment, and the eldest brother should not go to the pond to catch the yellow eel, so as not to be known by the villagers, and go down to catch it, maybe the matter of the lotus root cannot be hidden." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Guihua nodded eagerly, "Don't go to the pond recently, the lotus root has already sprouted and grown leaves, and it will bloom and grow fruit in a month or two. ”

Luo Laotian and the others all nodded in agreement.

"Why don't you buy that pond?" Luo Laotian said, "When the pond becomes our home, we don't have to worry so much, not to mention that the pond is not like a paddy field, and the price is not expensive." ”

"Master, I think we have to wait." Luo Qinghe said seriously, "Now that the steamed bun stall business has just started, my uncle has gone to private school again, and it won't be long before we have to build a house, and we will spend too much money at once. ”

"People will definitely wonder if they don't buy land if they have money, what do they do when they buy ponds, unless the ponds are more valuable than land, and then the lotus root may be even more difficult to hide."

"Our family may be poked in the back by others, after all, the pond belongs to the village." Luo Qinghe analyzed.

"Qinghe is right, the pond can't be bought now." Wang Guihua listened to Luo Qinghe's analysis and felt that the head was the way.

Luo Laotian also pondered, nodded, and said with a relieved face, "Qinghe, you are right, you are in a hurry." ”

"But what the master said is right, we must buy the pond in the future." Luo Qinghe said with a smile, "After the house is up, after the second brother marries his daughter-in-law, he will buy the pond, and we will use it to grow lotus roots and raise fish, and then we will say that the lotus root is known to the second sister-in-law in the future, so that the people in the village will not be surprised." ”

Luo Qinghe looked at Luo Jiashu with a smile, "This pot needs to be carried by the second sister-in-law in the future, and the second brother needs to blow a lot of wind, and also have to communicate with the shopkeeper Li." ”

Luo Jiashu glared at Luo Qinghe and smiled, "You plan to be fine." ”

Luo Qinghe smiled embarrassedly, otherwise I really don't know how to explain that I know about the lotus root, after all, Li Yiting grew up in the town since she was a child, and she has a different knowledge from ordinary people in the village, and she knows a lot of new things, so everyone will not feel strange.

"Yiting, Uncle Li and Aunt Li are all sensible, I think I told them and can understand." Luo Jiashu saw that Luo Qinghe was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, after all, he also thought that Luo Qinghe said the most suitable way.

"I'll go to Li Ji Tofu tomorrow and tell Uncle Li that it's better to talk about it early."

Luo Qinghe nodded in agreement.

Luo Laotian and others also agreed.

"This matter, Ah Shu, I will go with your father tomorrow." Luo Laotian said.

"Master, I'll go too, after all, this method is what I thought, not what the second brother meant, and when I didn't get it, I made Shopkeeper Li and Sister Yiting misunderstand." Luo Qinghe said.

Luo Laotian nodded in agreement.

Luo Laotian's family is harmonious, and when He Laimi returns home, he is faced with a cold pot and a cold stove.

"When is it, why haven't you cooked yet?" He Laimi didn't eat Wang Guihua's steamed buns when he went to the town, and he came from the town again, he was hungry and panicked, and he hadn't gotten the secret recipe yet, and he was irritable in his heart.

"Mother, didn't you lock this cabinet, even if we want to cook, we don't have rice." He Laimi's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Ju, secretly rolled her eyes and said, she is still hungry, but she has just come back from working in the field with the men in the family.

He Laimi choked, a little unreasonable, but he couldn't be climbed on the head by his daughter-in-law, took the key and opened the cabinet lock, "Then it's not rice now, don't go to cook yet." ”

Zhang Ju was speechless to her mother-in-law, but she couldn't refute it anymore, so she went to cook and cook with her sister-in-law.

He Laimi's boss Luo Santie was also very helpless to his mother-in-law, but he was habitually suppressed by He Laimi for most of his life, and he didn't say anything about her, he just glared at her.

He Laimi saw it, ignored it, and walked out, "The head of the house, the meal is not ready yet, I'll go to the second brother and second sister-in-law." ”

"What are you going to do?" As soon as Luo Santie heard this, he stopped He Laimi.

"What can I do, I'll ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family if the steamed bun recipe is the secret recipe of our Lao Luo family, if it is, how can I let the eldest brother and them monopolize it." He Laimi snorted.

"If Lao Luo's family has a secret recipe for steamed buns, he will take it out and make it when his father and mother are there." Luo Santie said.

"You are more than ten years older than your eldest brother, and you were young at the time, what can you know?" Ho Laimi said.

Luo Santie was silent and didn't stop it, "I'll go with you, the second brother said no, you can't hold on to it anymore." ”
