Chapter 66: At the Dinner Table
Seeing that Ye Xiaoman also agreed with his idea, Tao Ran was very happy, patted his chest and promised that Ming'er would go to talk to Widow Li about cooperation.
It was not early, Wei Mian and Bai Qiu cooked, and everyone sat around the Eight Immortals table and ate.
There was an eggplant on the table that was very delicious, Ye Xiaoman ate a few bites in a row, and couldn't help but ask the name of the dish.
"It's called stuffed eggplant."
Wei Mian glanced at Bai Qiu and proudly told everyone that this dish was made by himself.
People who eat it think it's eggplant, but in fact, the essence of this dish is pork.
The finely chopped meat filling is marinated with soy sauce, salt, sesame oil, green onion and ginger, the eggplant is broken and peeled, the marinated meat filling is stuffed into it, the breach is sealed with batter, fried in the pot, steamed in the pot, and finally thickened with the soup stock and sauce, and finally served on the table.
Aunt Ye was stunned when she heard this, and asked Wei Mian where she learned these practices.
"The butcher shop owned by my adoptive father and adoptive mother, when I go to help, I always hear a lot of meat dishes. I used to do it, but I didn't eat it. ”
It's so strange, what does it mean to have never eaten it?
"The meat and vegetables at home, the adoptive mother is all counted, how many pieces, how many slices, if there is a little less, I will be suspected of stealing it, and I will fight it."
Wei Mian's expression was filled with deep fear, and her frightened appearance immediately made Aunt Ye feel distressed.
"Your adoptive father is too ruthless, there is a butcher shop at home, as for the lack of a bite of meat for the child. Don't worry, you can only eat in our house, and your adoptive father and mother can't care about you anymore. ”
Sleep? Ye Xiaoman's goosebumps were rising.
This looks good but it's different, her mother called everyone else with their names and surnames, and when they arrived at Wei Mian, they became Mianmian.
Wei Mian was very useful, and thanked Aunt Ye for her supple and well-behaved appearance, which made Aunt Ye feel even more sorry for him.
Tao Ran couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately sighed loudly.
"Hey, I don't know if Shanzi is doing well in the county government's mansion, and whether he can eat meat."
Aunt Ye's mind really turned, and she became worried.
"Hey, the lack of Shanzi's gobbling up on our table is like missing a meal."
Qi Ye glanced at Tao Ran, and Tao Ran winked at him.
"Auntie is relieved," Qi Ye said gently: "Shanzi must also miss us too, if you know that you are worried about him, you should feel guilty." You are happy every day for his sake. ”
Tsk, Tao Ran smacked his lips secretly, reading a book is different, and nonsense can be said so well.
Aunt Ye smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, it seems that the private school is not in vain." ”
Suddenly thinking of something, she asked Qi Ye: "That kid from the Lin family didn't trouble you, did he?" If he messes with you, just tell me and I'll stand up for you. ”
Qi Ye's chopsticks stopped, showed a smile, and shook his head slowly.
"Aunt Xie cares, it's okay."
"What else is the family thankful for?"
Aunt Ye waved her hand and beckoned him to eat more.
Since the life of the family has been better, Tao Ran, Bai Qiu and Wei Mian have all grown taller, but Qi Ye, who was originally thin and tall, has not changed at all, neither growing taller nor fatter.
Aunt Ye thought about it, reading is really tiring, and it doesn't take long for people.
Ye Xiaoman always felt that Qi Ye's smile just now was a little strange, and after eating, she specially called him to a secluded place and asked him what was going on.
"It's all trivial." Qi Ye still smiled at Si Sven.
Under Ye Xiaoman's questioning, he told the truth.
