Chapter 12: Going Out
has lived alone for many years, and Lin Xiaoliang will not treat his character badly, and his cooking skills are naturally not bad.
In fact, there is such a plug-in as the life and career system, although Lin Xiaoliang did not spend a lot of effort to learn, it is definitely not the level of half a bottle clanging.
Although he couldn't specialize in it because he regarded it as a life adjustment, but the talent was there, Lin Xiaoliang not only mastered many skills, but also had a good level, and there were a few things that were quite standard, maybe there was still a little gap from the master, but it was really "a little".
Undoubtedly, cooking is one of the most high-level skills.
Lin Xiaoliang is very particular about cooking, not a famous dish, and never requires complexity in his approach, but he is keen to preserve the original taste of the ingredients. So much so that the dishes she cooks often look homely and simple, but in fact...... Whoever eats knows it.
When Shen Xiu pushed the door in, before he could shout "I'm back", he was attracted by the fragrance that penetrated his nostrils.
"Sister-in-law, what did you make so fragrant?" After shouting, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and said with a shocked face: "Sister-in-law, why did you cook by yourself?" Before leaving, Grandma told her to pay attention not to let her sister-in-law take a spatula, which is said to affect the appetite of pregnant women.
Lin Xiaoliang was putting the fried cowpeas on a plate, and he didn't reply when he heard the words: "Xiu'er is back, come and help me set the dishes and chopsticks." ”
Shen Xiu subconsciously did so when she heard this, and when she put the dishes and chopsticks in place, she realized that her sister-in-law hadn't answered her question yet.
She looked annoyed, "Sister-in-law, you are too cunning, you said that you will leave dinner for me, if Grandma knows that I let you cook, she will definitely cut me." ”
"It's okay, grandma is overly nervous." Lin Xiaoliang is actually right, that is, in the future generations, no matter how expensive a pregnant woman is, unless she has a violent morning sickness reaction or an unstable fetus, she can still cook competently.
Shen Xiu snatched the steamed fish from Lin Xiaoyan's hand and brought it to the table, and said, "Sister-in-law, are you really okay?" ”
The bright-colored plum cabbage button meat, the light loofah soup, the tender fried cowpeas, and the good-looking steamed crucian carp, Shen Xiu swallowed his saliva a little uncompromisingly.
"It's okay, let's eat it." Lin Xiaoliang gave Shen Xiu a bowl full of rice.
To say that Shen Xiu was full of complaints before eating, and after eating a mouthful of plum vegetables and meat, Shen Xiu had nothing left in his mind except eating.
It's so delicious!
Under the guidance of many famous teachers in the system, whether it is the angle and strength of stir-frying, the time and amount of seasoning, or the change of heat, or various seasoning and juice collection skills, Lin Xiaoliang has mastered any details and points. Not to mention the rest, the freshness of the ingredients alone is 100% preserved, not to mention the taste.
The more simple the dish, the more incisive Lin Xiaoling's cooking skills are shown.
Even if Shen Xiu hadn't experienced the "delicacies" piled up with various expensive ingredients and MSG seasonings in later generations, he knew that the delicacies in front of him were absolutely beyond the standard.
Her eyes were shining, and she said, "Sister-in-law, it's delicious." ”
"Eat more if it's delicious." Although Lin Xiaoliang was not as excited as Shen Xiu, she had eaten meals that seemed unsatisfactory to her for so many days, and she was finally able to satisfy her taste buds, and she was in a good mood.
People in this era are not the common phenomenon in later generations that men can eat three mouthfuls of rice for women, not to mention Shen Chi's three bowls of sharp rice, even Shen Xiu can eat two full bowls, but Lin Xiaoliang has become an outlier with a shallow bowl.
- In fact, Lin Xiaoliang remembered that the amount of food he ate when he was young was not smaller than Shen Xiu.
Therefore, although the amount of vegetables was completely exceeded, in the end, all that was left was plum cabbage and pork, and the rest of the plates were empty.
Shen Xiu complained, "Sister-in-law, you don't eat more, otherwise there won't be any leftovers." Although she said this, she knew that her sister-in-law had eaten more today than before, and although the rice was still so shallow, the dishes had moved a lot.
At this time, she also somewhat understood why her sister-in-law wanted to shoot a spatula from her and her grandmother several times before. After eating the food cooked by her sister-in-law, she felt that the food she cooked with her grandmother was unbearable, and her sister-in-law did not complain before.
Lin Xiaoliang didn't know Shen Xiu's thoughts, in fact, although she was not used to eating the food cooked by Grandma and Shen Xiu, she was not as disgusted as Shen Xiu thought, but she still felt nostalgic.
In his previous life, before he went to the magic capital and came into contact with a variety of delicacies, although Lin Xiaoliang's craftsmanship was good, it was definitely not at the current level, at most it was a little better than Grandma and Shen Xiu.
In fact, if it weren't for the life and occupation system, Lin Xiaoliang would certainly not be used to eating hometown dishes now, but probably only because the dishes are too simple and tired of eating too much.
The bowl was washed by Shen Xiu, and Lin Xiaoliang was beside him to help dry it with a dry cloth. Shen Xiu also thinks that her sister-in-law is exquisite, and most people wash the dishes without drying them.
After cleaning up the kitchen, there was no entertainment, not even a TV, so Shen Xiu took out the textbook and homework book and asked Lin Xiaoliang to teach her homework.
This is not difficult for Lin Xiaoliang, although it has been decades since she left school, she has always remembered the things in her head, plus she was bored some time ago, and because of a little careful thinking, she asked Shen Xiu to come to the textbook to take a look, even if she was a little unfamiliar with it, it was okay after deepening her impression.
Shen Xiu has a good temperament and is smart, but she has no talent in reading, and even if she is not the tail of the crane in the class, her grades are only in the middle and lower reaches. Fortunately, people in this era cherish being able to study very much, and with Lin Xiaoliang, a well-known prospective college student, her enthusiasm for learning is very high.
"Sister-in-law, I think you speak much better than our teacher." After talking about a few math problems, Shen Xiu said with a convincing face: "It's not that I don't understand what our teacher says, but it's always two beats slow to react, but when I react, he doesn't know where to speak, and I missed the middle one." ”
Lin Xiaoliang smiled when she heard this, although she had never been a teacher, she had been taught by many famous teachers in the system consciousness space, and she had some experience.
"Speaking of which, sister-in-law, if you can't go to college, you can become a teacher, many teachers in our school have just graduated from junior high school, and they are far worse than you." Shen Xiu just said it casually, but after speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"No, sister-in-law...... I didn't mean that, if you're going to college......" Shen Xiu explained somewhat incoherently.
At this time, teachers were not as popular as in later generations, not to mention low salaries, and they always had to be dumped by parents because students who dropped out of school halfway to visit their homes. Going to college is completely different, as long as you are a college student, you can be assigned a job after graduation and serve an iron rice bowl.
Shen Xiu wanted to say something comforting, but her family did not have the conditions for her sister-in-law to go to college, not to mention that her sister-in-law was pregnant now.
"I'm not in a hurry." Lin Xiaoling's tone was soft, "I'm only sixteen years old, and I can go to college a few years later." ”
She was telling the truth, the weight of the child in her heart was undoubted, going to college was difficult for her in her previous life, but this is not the case at this time.
What's more, she knows better than others that when she is admitted to university at this time, not only does she not need tuition, but she can also have subsidies.
"But sister-in-law ......"
Lin Xiaoliang knew what she was worried about and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, even if I take the test ten times, I will only get better and better." ”
Shen Xiu wanted to say that he was going to take English in the next college entrance examination, but he couldn't say anything about Lin Xiaoling's indifferent but confident gaze.
The person in front of her made her involuntarily believe that she could do it.
Although Lin Xiaoliang's cooking skills are extraordinary, Shen Xiu did not hand over all the cooking matters to her because of this, but asked her more for advice. Of course, when Lin Xiaoliang decided to cook, she couldn't stop it and couldn't stop it very sincerely.
"Let's go to the vegetable market now?" finally persuaded Shen Xiu to let him go out, Lin Xiaoliang was in a good mood.
Although he knew that there was nothing to visit on the streets in this era, Lin Xiaoliang was not so bustling and prosperous, he just wanted to revisit his old place.
"Hmm." Shen Xiu nodded, and said with some worry: "Sister-in-law, are you really okay?" "You know, the smell of the vegetable market is not very good.
"It's okay, I have this." Lin Xiaoliang took out a mask and put it on.
She doesn't have too much hope for this vegetable market, just to see something new.
The vegetable market is not big, and there are only a few kinds of vegetables and meat sold, Shen Xiu carefully picked the vegetables and melons on the stall, and Lin Xiaoliang's attention was on those long-lost food stamps and meat stamps transactions.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat that cookie?" Lin Xiaoliang was watching an old man with his grandson buy biscuits with food stamps, and Shen Xiu asked when he saw it.
Lin Xiaoliang shook his head, "If you want to eat, I'll make it for you, it's much better than what is sold outside." "At this time, the biscuits were not as diverse as those of later generations, not to mention the rough practices, and even soda biscuits were rare.
The reason why she said this was also because although Shen Xiu was asking her, the longing in her words couldn't be concealed.
This Nizi is also a little cautious, thinking that she can use her sister-in-law's light to relieve her hunger.
"Sister-in-law, will you do it?" Shen Xiu looked surprised.
Although making biscuits is not necessarily more difficult than stir-frying, people in this era have extremely limited understanding of this aspect, and it is inevitable that some people will "deify" it.
"As long as there's an oven." Lin Xiaoliang thought for a while.
Shen Xiu's face turned pale when she heard this, how could she get such a thing as an oven.
Lin Xiaoliang was a little helpless, she actually had a lot of things in the space, but she couldn't find a reason to take them out.
"I don't have much coal at home, why don't you buy some?" Not wanting to see Shen Xiu depressed, Lin Xiaoliang changed the topic and said.
"Nope." Shen Xiu shook his head and said, "Let's wait for my brother to come back, we can't pick it up." ”
"I don't know when Grandpa and Grandma will come back." Lin Xiaoliang pulled Shen Xiu to avoid the lady carrying the bucket in front.
"Come on." Shen Xiu said: "It is estimated that I will be able to come back tomorrow." ”
Shen Xiu's words were really right, the next morning, Lin Xiaoliang was watering the tomatoes in the yard after breakfast, and with a sudden sound of tractors, the three of them pushed the door in small bags and came in.
