Chapter 60: Borscht
Several people sat down in priority and order, and Aunt Shang had already laid out the meals.
Luo stubbornly glanced at it, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as what she smelled.
In addition, there is an extra dish of stir-fried vegetables.
"I didn't know there were guests today, so I didn't prepare any good dishes."
Grandma looked at the few dishes on the table and said with some embarrassment.
Luo stubbornly sat in the seat, and when he heard his grandmother say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
That's not all there is to it? Are they all hard dishes?
Sure enough, it is Brother Chengxiao's grandfather's house, even if he is only semi-secluded in this small Shenmu Town, the foundation of the big family is still there.
"Grandma, stubborn is not an outsider, she is my sister."
Song Chengxiao knew that grandma was habitually humble, even if she served swallow wing abalone, her old man would say things like don't dislike it.
He was afraid that his sister would be restrained, and he was afraid that his grandmother would say this, and his sister would feel awkward.
"That dare is good, and if you don't greet me well, you won't pick on me."
It's rare for a grandson to value a little girl so much, if it weren't for the fact that the little girl was too young, grandma would have thought that her grandson had found a little daughter-in-law for herself.
Grandma is not the only one who has the same idea, although grandpa doesn't talk much, but he silently looks at everything Song Chengxiao does, and he is also slightly surprised.
Although his grandson can be said to have a very good personality, after all, the family he grew up in is not ordinary, and it is natural to have a high vision.
Cheng Xiao is kind to people, but it is the first time that he has maintained it so much.
As he was talking, Wu Zijin came in from outside, with a cold air.
"It's just time for me to come back, just wait for me?"
Wu Zijin took off his coat, took the hot towel sent by Aunt Shang to wipe his hands, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Luo stubborn sitting with his hands on his lap honestly.
"Why is the little girl so restrained? Mom, Dad, are you too serious and scared people? ”
Wu Zijin sat down next to his mother, looking at Luo's stubborn and precarious appearance, it was really funny.
In fact, how did she know that Luo Stubborn was struggling with her hunger at this time.
A table of beautiful food, the fragrance is like a soul messenger, desperately invading her every nerve.
Every nerve cried out, encouraging her to taste the delicious food of the table.
But no, reason is still online, Luo stubbornly does not allow himself to make a fool of himself.
Desperately restraining himself, in order to prevent himself from reaching out uncontrollably, he put his hand tightly against his pants, and his little face was tense.
"No, I haven't been out much, I'm afraid I'll do something wrong."
For fear that Wu Zijin would misunderstand Brother Chengxiao's grandfather and grandmother, Luo stubbornly hurriedly explained. Although this reason is a bit lame, it is quite in line with her twelve-year-old personality.
In order to match his statement, Luo stubbornly lowered his head slightly, making a very embarrassed look.
God knows how hard she endured it, I just beg Wu Zijin to stop talking about it and start the meal quickly!
"Sister, don't think so much, you're still a child, no one will find fault with you. Don't worry, okay? ”
Seeing his sister so embarrassed, Song Chengxiao felt uncomfortable, a girl as big as her should be innocent and happy, why is her sister always cautious?
Behind this carefulness, it's probably her not very happy upbringing, right?
In his ears was Brother Chengxiao's gentle consolation, and while Luo stubbornly felt warm, he was also a little sorry. She didn't want to be cautious, but under the effect of Lingyu, her resistance to food was almost zero.
"Alright, let's have dinner, it's going to be cold later. Try the soup first, I did what we used to do. ”
Grandma played a round and motioned to Aunt Shang to help serve the soup.
Because of Luo's stubborn guests, Aunt Shang put the soup in front of her first, and then served it to the others in the order of eldest and youngest.
Song Chengxiao pushed the dark pattern soup bowl of sweet white porcelain in front of Luo Stubborn, for fear that his sister would be embarrassed to move.
"Try the borscht made by my grandmother herself, this is a Shanghai method, make sure you like it."
Where to use Brother Chengxiao's persuasion, Luo stubbornly endured it very hard just now. At this moment, the soup was in front of her, and her eyes were almost bloodshot.
Gritting his back molars to restrain his urge to plug wildly, Luo stubbornly picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of red-colored borscht and slowly brought it to his mouth.
Yu Guang saw that Brother Cheng Xiao was looking at himself, and Luo Stubborn really wanted to twist his head.
He looked at himself like this, she didn't dare to be eager in every move, God knows how bad it feels to be obviously hungry to death, and to pretend to be a lady.
Finally drank the sweet and sour thick soup in the spoon, Luo stubbornly felt like a fish starved of water, and finally returned to the water and came back to life.
Borscht is made with beef, onions, carrots, and celery, so it tastes like a perfect blend of meat and vegetables.
The point is to add the noodles fried with flour and oil to thicken the soup.
The finishing touch is the addition of tomato sauce, which is an unprocessed, handmade tomato sauce with a mellow flavor that is key to the success of this borscht.
Then add the stir-fried tomatoes, carrots, cabbage and onions to the simmer for 5 minutes, then add the minced garlic, sugar, salt and pepper to enhance the freshness.
Draw the key points, and finally add Shanghai spicy soy sauce, to achieve a borscht with a unique method in Shanghai.
Luo stubbornly tasted this perfect borscht, so delicious that it made her heart bubble with happiness.
"Oh my God, this girl's tongue is too powerful, isn't it? As soon as I tasted it, I made my mother's approach clear. ”
Hearing Wu Zijin's exclamation, Luo stubborn suddenly realized that he was carried away, and he actually depicted the practice of borscht!
She thought she was just admiring in her heart, why did she say it with a bald mouth?
Now it seems too late to cover her mouth, and everyone at the table is looking at her, and their faces are full of surprise.
"I'm a well-informed person, but it's the first time I've seen a strange person who can tell you how to do it when you taste it. It's not easy. ”
Grandpa looked at Luo stubbornly meaningfully, and he said that his grandson looked at a country girl differently? Sure enough, this girl is different.
Song Chengxiao was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect his sister to have such skills, she didn't show it at all before, but now she was seduced by her grandmother's craftsmanship?
"Sister, why didn't you tell me that you still have this ability? An eye-opener, ah, me. ”
Song Chengxiao gave a thumbs up and praised Luo for being stubborn, as if he was so capable.
Luo who was praised for being stubborn, in fact, she couldn't figure it out, she really didn't have this ability before. When has the tongue ever been so sensitive?
"What kind of skill is this, foodie."
Luo was stubborn and embarrassed, being able to taste the ingredients and methods of the dishes sounded cool, but it didn't have any practical significance.
She has no cooking skills at all, and even if she knows how to cook the dishes, the most she can do is tell her dad and let him reproduce it.
Brother Cheng Xiao praised her so much, he really didn't dare to take it.
