Chapter 110: The plate is too small
With Yan Xin's commitment in the kitchen, Xu Jiaren has become a lot more down-to-earth.
Soon it was noon to eat, and Xu's mother brought out all the dishes that had been prepared long ago.
A total of six cold dishes, four hot dishes, and tomato and egg noodles were prepared.
"Old sister, I learned to make these dishes, don't dislike it." Yan Xin still maintained her politeness and enthusiasm.
Aunt Zhao was just the opposite, her face was obviously not very happy, and she said nonchalantly: "Don't dare that." You are a cultural person who can cook by yourself, how dare I dislike it? ”
Everyone: "......"
"Mom! How do you speak? Li Hui couldn't listen to it anymore, and whispered: "Mom, if you are unhappy, go home and tell me." Don't mess around like this here. ”
The dinner table is big in all directions, and no matter how small Li Hui's voice is, others can hear it.
Seeing this, Xu Shaoyuan immediately made a round: "Mother Zhao, you taste this alfalfa dish, it tastes very delicious." ”
The vegetables were brought back from the countryside.
Yan Xin made pickles, and the red and white radish strips were particularly good in color, and they looked very appetizing.
"Huh-"
Aunt Zhao looked at the dishes on the table, but she was very unhappy.
Why? Because the dishes are not good, and there are very few.
Yan Xin's dishes are all served on 8-inch small porcelain plates, and only 10-inch porcelain plates are used for hot dishes.
But in this era, most people use 12-inch or 14-inch enamel plates at home, and one of the characteristics of enamel plates is that they are large.
During the New Year's holidays or entertaining important guests, it must be picking up the big plate at home and putting it on the table.
In this way, it can not only show that you can get more dishes, but also show how much the host attaches importance to the guests.
And the dishes on the table in front of me ......
Aunt Zhao thinks this is feeding the birds!
Let's talk about this dish.
Radish strips with alfalfa vegetables, bean sprouts vermicelli over there, and green pepper tofu skin...... At a glance, almost all the dishes on the table are vegetarian.
I can see the past, except for a plate of chicken feet that is the fish, and I didn't even cut the meat twice.
Is this hospitality?
Aunt Zhao thought of what Xu Shaoyuan's mother said before, and she decided that Xu's mother was deliberately disgusting her.
Who eats that meatless chicken feet?
"Mother Zhao, is my mother's cooking not to your liking?" Xu Shaoyuan is very smart.
Aunt Zhao shook her head and denied: "No." ”
It's impossible to say that it doesn't match, right?
The atmosphere on the table was very awkward all of a sudden, Aunt Zhao didn't move her chopsticks, and it was impossible for others to ignore her eating by herself, so everyone just sat quietly and stared at her.
Ah Yi was speechless when he looked at the space: "Woman, your grandma is really capable of doing it." Isn't it always shouting that you want your daughter to find happiness? This has been found and has it started to work again? ”
I don't know what this old lady thinks.
"Let me warn you, according to what I've shown here, it seems that your future grandmother is going to be angry. If you don't make a move, I think this timeline will coincide with the previous life. ”
Xu Jiaren originally didn't want to speak, but when she heard Ah Yi's words, she didn't dare to remain silent anymore.
"Grandma, Grandma Xu just doesn't like to waste. And these vegetarian dishes are good for the body. Didn't mean to snub you. Xu Jiaren explained directly.
Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then a little angry: "Yadan, what are you talking nonsense?" ”
The granddaughter broke her thoughts with a word, which made Aunt Zhao's old face a little unbearable.
Yan Xin heard the little girl say this, and finally understood why Li Hui's mother was sneering.
Maybe she felt that she didn't get respect because she used a small plate and made a vegetarian dish?
"Old sister, you really misunderstood me."
Yan Xin sighed and patiently explained: "Usually Shaoyuan lives in the school dormitory, and the family is by myself, if I make a large portion of this dish, it will definitely be a waste." I thought we were a family, so I didn't pay so much attention to ......."
"Vegetarian food is what I heard Shao Yuan say, before you were admitted to the hospital with cerebral thrombosis, I know about this disease, I usually have to eat more light things, and meat, especially fatty meat, must be eaten less, so I made a fish...... Old sister, I don't have so much thought, why don't you just tell me directly......"
Hearing Yan Xin's explanation, Li Hui was really about to cry angrily by her mother.
Shaoyuan's mother sincerely entertained them, and her mother stepped down like this, she really felt that she didn't have the face to sit here.
"Mom! Shaoyuan and I finally got together. Aunt Yan not only did not dislike my status as a divorced person with children, but also was willing to help transfer work. Even the cooks are thinking about our side...... Why don't you ......?"
Li Hui suddenly remembered the scene when her mother "beat the mandarin duck" and scolded Xu Shaoyuan.
"I don't care what you think. Aunt Yan, this mother-in-law, I recognize. If Shaoyuan and I can't be together again this time, then I'll go to the Yellow River and dance! ”
"You-"
Aunt Zhao didn't expect her daughter to say these words in front of other men, and her muscles jumped up with anger.
"Li Hui, this is wrong for you. Death is not the solution to the problem, no matter what time it is. Besides, you can't talk to your mom like that, you know? ”
Yan Xin was a little relieved when she heard Li Hui's radical words just now.
She was afraid that Li Hui would stand on her mother's side indiscriminately, but now that she heard her attitude, she was not so angry.
The old lady has brought up a pair of children by herself for so many years, and now she is helping to take care of her granddaughter, which is not easy.
It's a little off-the-beaten, and it's normal to like to pick and choose.
"Old sister, don't be angry. The two children got married later, and the two of us were no different from sisters. If you are dissatisfied with me or Shaoyuan, just say it directly, don't hide it in your heart! Where is the word of the family across the belly? You tell me? ”
Yan Xin's tone is particularly soothing, and her voice is also very soft and glutinous, like a fragrant fragrant tea that makes people feel refreshed.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zhao's anger also subsided.
"I ...... I'm not satisfied. ”
Aunt Zhao looked at Mother Xu, who was sitting opposite, and said, "To tell the truth, I'm afraid that you will dislike our family Huihui and the girl...... So...... When I saw the vegetarian dishes and small plates on this table, I was cranky. Shao Yuan's mother, don't mind. ”
"What do you care? Old sister, you are so out-of-sight! ”
Yan Xin was also relieved when she heard Aunt Zhao, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.
She subconsciously glanced at Xu Jiaren sitting beside her.
If it weren't for this little clever ghost who made her make a promise in the kitchen, she really couldn't hold back that breath just now.
"Old sister, we are here today to book a happy event, don't be angry about these little things." Yan Xin sandwiched a chicken foot for Aunt Zhao: "You try this, I bought it myself and marinated it." It tastes so good. ”
Aunt Zhao had just gotten out of the fire when she saw the chicken paws in the bowl burning again.
She had never seen anyone entertain such chicken feet that no one had eaten.
However, looking at the enthusiastic appearance of Mother Xu on the other side, she still gritted her teeth and took a bite.
