The bird cage hangs from the branches, and the magpie cries in the cage.

The chatter made people dizzy.

The kitchen gradually got hot, Gu Yuhuai opened the doors and windows, so that the warm air could blow away some of the scorching heat, not to mention the white peach standing in front of the stove, even if he didn't do any work, he was already sweating.

It's not summer yet, and it's already so hot in the kitchen, so what if it's really July or August?

Gu Yuhuai held the fan, leaned against the door frame, and meditated.

On the other hand, Bai Tao had already put the beaten eggs in the pot and fried them with the leeks that were already wafting out the fragrance, Bai Tao sniffed carefully, squinted his eyes, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

The clear yellow of the eggs and the green of the leeks are intertwined and adhered to each other, and the fragrance of the two is also inseparable from you and me in the pot, condensing into the most gluttonous flavor under the rice spoon of white peaches.

Gu Yuhuai, who was thinking outside the world, came back to his senses for a long time.

At that time, Bai Tao had already put out this bowl of scrambled eggs with leeks and placed it on the empty table in the kitchen.

The aroma was overflowing and the mist was rising, Gu Yuhuai swallowed his saliva, and consciously took the chopsticks placed aside with his right hand.

"Don't be busy eating, and what's more!" Bai Tao glared at him: "Go and call the senior brother, as well as grandpa and Xiaoying." ”

Gu Yu was about to put down the chopsticks, but the moment Bai Tao turned around, he quickly put down a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and then turned around and ran before Bai Tao found out.

Bai Mingxuan has been staying in the house and sleeping since he came back, and Yunlai Restaurant is not open today, so only Grandpa's wontons are being taken out, and Xiaoying is working on the side, serving dishes to the guests, and cleaning up.

The little girl is very well-behaved, she stands at the counter when there are no guests, because she is short, Gu Yuhuai specially set up a stool for her to stand, and when she is not there occasionally, the little girl can also help watch the store.

It's already past the meal, there are few guests, Gu Yuhuai swept the front hall, and called his grandfather and Xiaoying to go to the back kitchen, anyway, their small restaurant has nothing to steal, and the silver is not in the counter, he is very relieved.

And on the white peach side, he has already started to make soup.

Gu Yuhuai's beans that he had soaked in the morning came in handy this time.

After boiling a large pot of hot water, Bai Tao carefully poured the previously chopped pork ribs into it, and flicked it a few times with a rice spoon, the fishy smell and blood in the ribs slowly flowed out with the hot water.

Bai Tao took the spoon on the side and slowly scooped some along the surface of the water, and the white and tender pork ribs were obediently lying at the bottom of the pot.

After waiting for a while, Bai Tao took the cleaned plate on the side, fished out the ribs at the bottom of the pot one by one, and suddenly shouted behind him as if he remembered something: "Little Huaizi!" ”

As soon as Gu Yuhuai heard the voice, he immediately rushed in from outside: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"Where did you put the crockpot you bought before?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuhuai wiped a handful of sweat, turned out a few clay pots from the bottom of a shelf in the corner of the wall, held them in his hand, and asked, "Which one do you want?" ”

"Left-handed, help me put it up."

"You want to make soup, huh?" Gu Yuhuai asked, and the movements in his hands did not stop at all.

"That's right, bitter gourd pork rib soup, you'll be the first to drink it in a while, okay?" Bai Tao grinned at Gu Yuhuai.

Gu Yuhuai frowned and muttered, "Bitter gourd? ”

He was fortunate enough to eat bitter gourd once, just when he was tortured by Xiahou Xiang, in fact, at the beginning, Xiahou Xiang was not so excessive to him, but he was fed some more unpalatable things, such as bitter gourd juice with vinegar, such as watermelon juice with soy sauce

Thinking about it now, Gu Yuhuai couldn't help but feel a chill, I really don't know how that Xiahou Xiang came up with those methods, it's simply inhuman.

"Is this thing good to cook soup, so bitter?" Gu Yuhuai wrinkled his face and couldn't help but shudder.

Bai Tao smiled: "You didn't dig up the bitter gourd you ate, right?" ”

Gu Yuhuai recalled for a moment, and then nodded.

"The bitter gourd is the most bitter, after digging the gourd, the remaining part is scalded with hot water for a few minutes, it is not so bitter, and it will be delicious."

"Really?"

Bai Tao nodded: "As the saying goes, only when you eat hard can you become a master." Although bitter gourd is bitter, it clears away heat and detoxification, nourishes blood and nourishes the liver, and is an excellent tonic. ”

"So...... That's amazing! ”

Gu Yuhuai seemed to be a little shaken by Bai Tao's words, wanting to taste the taste of this bitter gourd pork rib soup.

The ribs were put into the cleaned crockpot one by one, poured in water, Bai Tao took the fan and fanned it hard, the fire under it became more and more vigorous, she stuffed a few more firewoods into it, and saw the flames rushing out of the cracks, covering most of the crockpot.

Bai Tao straightened up his slightly sore waist, stretched out his hand and hammered it, and then bent down again, staring at the uneasy flames, the fan in his hand kept shaking.

"Little peach, this leek scrambled egg ......" Gu Yuhuai was eager to try.

Bai Tao turned his head: "You taste it." ”

With Bai Tao's words, it was like having a gold medal for avoiding death, and even the few people standing on the side got off their chopsticks, and even Bai Mingxuan, who was originally asleep, was dragged up by Gu Yuhuai.

He was a little ignorant, watching several people next to him bend down, he also bent down, watching them move the chopsticks, he also moved the chopsticks.

It wasn't until the chopsticks and leeks scrambled eggs were put in his mouth and tasted the taste that he sighed lightly: "It's delicious." ”

The washed soybeans were clear and yellow, and rolled into the water in groups in the hands of the white peach, making a crisp sound, slowly sinking, burrowing into the gap between the ribs, and squeezing half of the crockpot to the brim.

Bai Tao later simply moved a small bench over, gently shaking the small fan, the fire gradually weakened, and the firewood was not put in, listening to the soup in the crockpot kept tumbling, and the fragrance gradually flowed into the nose along the gap in the lid of the crockpot, Bai Tao squinted his eyes and sniffed carefully, with a satisfied face.

And the group of people behind her, with a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, became more and more hungry.

"I'll have something to eat later!" Bai Tao said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Tao took the dry cloth on the side, covered it on the lid of the crockpot, gently lifted it, stirred it with a soup spoon for a while, scooped up some, took a sip of the taste, and then picked up the bitter gourd that had been on the side.

And Gu Yuhuai, who was standing not far behind him, unconsciously widened his eyes, and even for a moment, he wanted to stop Bai Tao from pouring down the plate of green things.

But reason stopped the impulse.

After the bitter gourd was put into the crockpot, Bai Tao continued to stir it with a soup spoon a few times, and then closed the lid, the fire under the crockpot had become relatively weak, and Bai Tao also put down the fan.

She stood up, walked outside the kitchen, breathed in the fresh air for a while, reached out and touched the back of her neck at will, and found that it was all sweat.

"Or do you go and rest for a while, and I'll watch it for you?" Gu Yuhuai stood at the door of the kitchen and said with concern.

Bai Tao turned his head, his sweaty hair was stained on his cheeks, and his pink cheeks were like a peach that had just come out of water, which was extremely attractive, and Gu Yuhuai was hungry again.

"I'll do it myself, I said, the soup that will be simmered in a while, you will be the first to drink." Bai Tao raised her lips and smiled, and walked back to the kitchen slowly.

After sitting in front of the crockpot for a while, fanning the fire for a while, the white peach lifted the lid again and tasted the taste, scooped a small spoonful of fine salt with a small spoon and sprinkled it in, stirred it for a while, and then tasted it again before putting down the small spoon.

"yes, alright."

Bai Tao put down the fan, wrapped the handle of the jar with a dry cloth and lifted the entire crockpot and put it aside, Gu Yuhuai saw this, and hurriedly handed over the clean soup bowl.

As the golden soup poured down, the white peach followed the tumbling pork ribs with a soup spoon to prevent the pork ribs from falling into the bowl and splashing the soup, followed by a large slice of soybeans that sank to the bottom.

The soybeans have been boiled, and the surface has cracked and cracked, revealing the white and tender inside.

"It smells so good!" Xiaoying stood on tiptoe, standing at the table, holding an empty bowl in her hand, tilting her head and stretching out her arms.

Bai Tao laughed out loud, but gave the first spoon to Gu Yuhuai, who was standing aside.

Gu Yu held the bowl in his arms and smiled like a fool.

"Let's go eat." Bai Tao reached out and touched Gu Yuhuai's head, as if he was stroking a puppy, but Gu Yuhuai didn't notice it at all, and walked to the side happily holding the bowl.

followed by Xiaoying, then Grandpa Ji, and finally Bai Mingxuan, but until Bai Mingxuan finished scooping, Bai Tao didn't get a bowl for himself.

Finally, she sat there, her little face covered with sweat and the corners of her lips raised.

Watching them feast and drink soup in large gulps, the warmth in Bai Tao's heart was hotter than the sun in June and July.

Gu Yu held the bowl in his arms, stuffed a piece of ribs into it, half-squinted his eyes, and the whole person swayed around, walking around the kitchen restlessly, smiling at Bai Tao who was sitting there from time to time.

"Is it delicious?" Bai Tao asked.

"Delicious!" Before Xiaoying could shout, Gu Yuhuai had already taken the lead in answering loudly.

Bai Tao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"It's delicious, these two dishes tomorrow are two of the recipes."

Gu Yuhuai spit out a bone and asked, "What is the other dish?" ”

"I'll write you a recipe in the evening, and you'll write it on the sign in a while and put it out early tomorrow morning."

Gu Yuhuai nodded, and began to eat again.

Although tired, Bai Tao felt that this was the happiest time as a cook, the clothes on her body were wet with sweat, and then they were dried by the warm air that passed through the kitchen, and her breathing gradually calmed down, until a little vision in her eyes gradually expanded.

It was a bowl of pork rib soup handed over by Gu Yuhuai.
