Chapter 24 The first task
Chen Youyi completed the task under the scrutinizing gaze, skillfully washing and chopping vegetables and stir-frying, and when the aroma of rice wafted away, the simple but hearty six-dish dish and one soup were also ready to be brought to the table.
She didn't know that when she was busy in the kitchen, Mu Xiulian who was waiting in the room was ten times more nervous than her, and kept looking into the kitchen, until the meal was almost ready, Mu Xiulian forced herself to calm down, pretended that nothing had happened, and half leaned on the bed.
"When the lunch is ready, do you get up to eat, or bring it to you?" Adhering to the principle of thoughtful service, Chen Youyi asked Mu Xiulian first.
Where did Mu Xiulian think that Chen Youyi could really make food, it was just to give her a dismount and rub her sharpness, but at this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and she was also curious about what kind of things Chen Youyi could make, so she got up and went to the living room to eat.
When she arrived in the living room, she saw a table full of people at a glance, and Mu Xiulian's heart suddenly sighed.
"What are you ......" Mu Xiulian almost forgot her weak body, and hurriedly walked to the dining table, sure enough, she was not mistaken, it was indeed a table of food, in addition to hot dishes and soup, there were four plates of almond tofu and a plate of fruit.
Chen Youyi saw Mu Xiulian's stunned expression, and couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up. Fortunately, the craftsmanship is not wasted, and making some home-cooked food is a piece of cake. It's still in a hurry, if you give her a little more time, she can show her hand again.
"Do you taste it? Tell me if there's anything inappropriate, and I'll improve it in the evening. "Chen Youyi is full of confidence in her performance, and this hurdle should have passed smoothly.
She glanced at it secretly, and even Qin Ziheng, who had always been moody, was surprised, and Qin Huai, who was a little bit, was already drooling quietly on the side of the table.
Just when she was proud, she saw Mu Xiulian's expression change, and her eyes were full of anger when she looked at her.
"Did you mean to? Just because I asked you to cook, you want to take revenge and waste all the food stored at home? Mu Xiulian's eyebrows were full of regret: "The family has been ruined by you and has no money left, and you have to calculate even for dinner, you are still so lavish, do you think we don't even have to eat?" ”
Chen Youyi was a little confused by the sudden reprimand, and only after listening to it did she know what was going on. No wonder she was looking for ingredients in the kitchen just now and only found a little bit, she habitually thought that it was because the Qin family wanted to eat something fresher, so she would buy less at one time.
This is also the consequence of being restricted by the convenience of modernization, Chen Youyi didn't realize for a while that he was in the Great Chen Kingdom, and the people here would try to store as much food as possible in winter, enough to survive this winter.
Because the winter is too cold, all kinds of ingredients are sold more than usual, and some fresh vegetables cannot be cultivated and grown at all.
"Don't be angry, this is indeed my negligence, I didn't expect so much for a while." It's hard to brush up on the goodwill in front of the 'creditor', but don't mess it up.
Chen Youyi immediately thought of a way to alleviate the conflict, and said: "Look, it's not almost the New Year, you have to cook something delicious for everyone, and comfort you." What's more, you are still sick, and you don't have enough nutrition, so how can you get better quickly. As for the ingredients, don't worry, I still have them, enough for us to eat until the beginning of spring. ”
"Would you be that kind?" Mu Xiulian didn't believe it, and said: "Don't think that you can be deceived by saying a few nice words, you are already thankful for what you want to eat from others!" We don't want your stuff either, as long as you settle down and don't cause trouble again! ”
If you follow this menu for three meals a day, you can only have white porridge every day for the rest of the day. Mu Xiulian looked at this table full of delicious food, she had no appetite at all, and she was distressed.
I know that this daughter-in-law will only make trouble for her!
didn't expect that he would be disadvantaged, Chen Youyi couldn't help but sigh that it was really difficult to please others. Compared with this 'mother-in-law', the previous boss is not difficult to serve.
"Yes, yes, I didn't think it through." Chen Youyi adheres to the principle of 'customer first', apologized first and then said: "Look, this dish is done, if it is cold and can't be eaten, it is really a waste, it is better to eat first, you can rest assured, I will make up for the food problem when I go back, and I will not make everyone hungry!" ”
Under Chen Youyi's repeated persuasion, Mu Xiulian's face was a little better, she was not a bad character, and in the face of Chen Youyi, who greeted her with a smile, she couldn't put on a vicious appearance, and she was angry after complaining a few words.
At this time, Qin Ziheng patted Qin Huai's little shoulder, and also persuaded Mu Xiulian: "Mother, the meals are ready, let's eat first, I can hear Xiaohuai's stomach, don't let him be hungry." ”
Suddenly became the focus Qin Huai touched his flat little belly, what was the eldest brother talking nonsense, his little belly didn't growl. However, he looked at the atmosphere, and he couldn't let his mother and sister-in-law quarrel all the time, nodded with humiliation, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
"Eat, eat." Mu Xiulian, who happened to go down the steps, took the opportunity to get over the matter, and she was really worried that her youngest son would be hungry, so the family sat down to eat.
Seeing that Chen Youyi also sat down calmly, Mu Xiulian's eyes paused, but she still didn't say anything.
And Chen Youyi didn't expect this layer, she just wanted to eat.
Of course, the sense of service was still hovering in Chen Youyi's mind, she conscientiously served soup for the guests, and also sandwiched a chicken leg for Qin Huai: "This fried chicken leg should be eaten while it is hot." The skin is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and it is coated with a layer of egg white and then dipped in flour before frying, which is more tender and tender. Juice, especially tasty. ”
It would have been better if there were breadcrumbs, golden and delicious, and now you can only use flour, but it also looks good.
Qin Huai looked at the chicken legs in the bowl, and looked up at the eldest brother sitting beside him. Qin Ziheng said: "Why don't you thank others for giving you vegetables?" ”
Qin Huai turned to Chen Youyi at this time, whispered thanks, picked up the fried chicken leg and took a bite. After that, I haven't seen him stop, but he eats Sven, and he eats a lot.
Seeing that her craftsmanship was affirmed, Chen Youyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was worried that if the family's tastes were different from her and she didn't like the food she cooked, she would be slapped on the horse's leg at that time.
"Try this stewed radish with ribs." Chen Youyi served a bowl of soup to Mu Xiulian: "The oil has been skimmed off, and it is very light." Radish is nutritious and helps to treat wind and cold, and shredded ginger is added to it, and if you drink it hot, your body will be healed when you sweat. ”
Mu Xiulian couldn't push it, the bowl was placed in front of her, so she could only drink it. To her surprise, the soup tasted as good as it seemed, and it was full of color, flavor, and taste.
Just now, I was only worried about the food, but now that Mu Xiulian has come back to her senses, Chen Youyi really made a table of delicious food in a short period of time.
