Chapter 13: Cooking for the First Time
But the words had already been spoken, and this was immediately cowardly, as if he couldn't get off the stage, and the Wang family lowered his head and didn't speak.
Mrs. Yao snorted coldly and glanced at the Wang family and scolded, "Divide, must be divided, I will follow my daughter in the future, you group of people who have no conscience, all of them are stirrgers, I bah, let you go by yourself, I want to see how comfortable you can live."
Boss Li's face turned red, not to mention this village, even the entire county, there is no family full of children and grandchildren, but the old man has followed his daughter, isn't this a slap in the face, but he can't speak, he didn't know how to say it for a long time, he could only look at Old Man Li pitifully, hoping that his father could say a few words.
Old Man Li also knew that Mrs. Yao was speechless, and shouted, "Nonsense, nonsense."
"What am I talking nonsense? I just said it seriously, I'll talk about it here today, I'll live with my daughter in the future, what's the use of raising a bunch of sons, I marry a daughter-in-law every day and forget my mother" Yao Pozi cried as she spoke.
Old Man Li sighed and said to everyone, "Okay, let's go back to our own houses, we will get up early tomorrow, we can't delay the business, don't worry about what your mother says."
Boss Li hurriedly grabbed Wang and shouted a few children, and went back to the house together.
Li Lao Er also hurriedly took the child back to the house, but he didn't dare to breathe, for fear of setting himself on fire.
Li Laosan even took the opportunity to go out with a smoke, as for when he will go home, it depends on his mood.
When the group is gone, there will be only Mr. Li, Mrs. Yao, and Li Lanxi left.
Old Man Li looked at his daughter, then at his wife, and sighed again.
"Hey......."
Li Lanxi knew that Old Man Li was protecting her, otherwise she wouldn't be so entangled, after all, in this era, sooner or later, daughters belong to someone else's family, and there are probably very few rare daughters like the Li family.
"Dad, otherwise, tomorrow you go to the field, I will cook at home, when it is done, I will send it to you" Li Lanxi took the initiative to take care of things, she didn't want to let her sister-in-law come to trouble again because of herself, the eldest brother was not good in the middle, and her mother was also angry.
"What are you talking about, don't allow it, my daughter, I'm distressed, it's useless for anyone to say, whoever dares to let my daughter, work, I'll let him get out" Yao Pozi immediately objected, joke, this family, but her territory, dare to be disobedient?
"Mother, listen to me, it's not who asked me to do it, it's what I want to do, mother, you think, even if you want to live with me in the future, you will be old, when the time comes, I won't cook, how can I cook for you, you say no"
Mrs. Yao didn't speak, pondering, what does this mean?
Li Lanxi continued, "I just want to learn, learn how to cook, and when my father and mother are old, I will cook for you to eat, so that you can enjoy happiness, otherwise you will be old and unable to move, and I will not be able to cook, so we will not starve to death together."
"What is not dead, don't talk nonsense" Mrs. Yao heard the bad luck and made a straight face.
"Hehe, I'll make an analogy, mother, you promise me."
Old man Li also felt that it was feasible, and knocked on the cigarette ash on the cigarette stick to support his daughter, "That's it, tomorrow the brook girl will cook at home, and don't be angry, wife, don't be angry, say a few words a day, and be noisy all day."
Mrs. Yao thought about it, since her daughter wants to learn, she must agree, "Okay, then I'll leave Xiaohua Xiaohua to help you."
Li Lanxi nodded happily.
"Well, thank you, mother."
Mrs. Yao glanced at her, touched her head with her hand, and said with a smile, "Say thank you, you are my daughter, I don't feel sorry for anyone."
Early in the morning of the first day, the whole family set out, and after breakfast, they all went to the field, leaving one cooker and two helpers at home, needless to say, the cook was Li Lanxi, two helpers Li Xiaohua and Li Xiaoduo.
But these two helpers are a little apprehensive, this old lady has never cooked, can she do it? They were skeptical.
Li Lanxi is very calm, jokes, cooking is very easy.
Seeing that she could make lunch, she went into the kitchen to look at the materials, there was rough flour, corn flour, corn kernels, and broken rice, now she is busy with farm work, so she must eat dry rice, so she uses broken rice and corn to cook, as for the vegetables, there is a basket of wild vegetables picked back by Li Xiaohua the day before.
But in this way, there are too few dishes, so I thought about it, so I went into my father's room and took a few eggs out, and made them into eggs and fried wild vegetables, which looked a little meaty.
Li Lanxi first asked Li Xiaohua to wash the wild vegetables, thinking about it, it was still a little little, and then took a few potatoes out to wash, and after a while, they were bored into the rice together, and they were also hungry.
The materials were basically ready, Li Lanxi asked Xiao Duo to raise the fire, brush out the pot by himself, and then put a few scoops of clean water.
When the water boils, put the broken rice and corn kernels down and cook, stirring with a spoon from time to time in between.
When the corn kernels looked almost overwhelmed, they scooped them up, put them in a dustpan and drained them, and put a basin under the dustpan, so that the rice soup could still be drunk.
After getting it, put a few scoops of water in it, put a bamboo partition, and cover it with a bamboo cover.
When the water boils, pour the drained corn kernels into it and steam it, then cut the washed potatoes into several large pieces, put them in and steam them together, a big pot full of them.
Li Lanxi scolded this broken body hundreds of times, every time she bent over, she felt that her stomach was squeezed into her chest, and she was uncomfortable to death, she knew that her body was too fat, and the fat was accumulated in her stomach, and as soon as she bent over, the fat was squeezed into the stomach.
Li Xiaohua looked at her with a bad face, hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Auntie, if not, I'll help you get it."
Li Lanxi shook his head, "It's okay, I can do it, I said that I cook, how can I let you help, you help me chop the wild vegetables a few times, and I'll fry the vegetables in a while."
Li Xiaohua nodded, "Well, okay."
"Xiao Duo, you look at the fire, don't burn too much now," Li Lanxi said to Li Xiaoduo.
Li Xiaoduo nodded obediently, she is good at making fires, since she was four years old, she has slowly helped the family work, and the first thing she learned was to make fires.
Li Lanxi found a big bowl and came out to beat eggs, think about so many wild vegetables, and go straight to the pot.
Beat all the eggs into the basin and counted them, there were five, and she didn't dare to take too much, for fear that Mrs. Yao's heart would not be able to stand it.
Then he poured all the chopped wild vegetables into the pot, dug a small spoonful of salt into the salt shaker, and began to stir vigorously.
I don't know if it's delicious or not, the seasoning is too scarce, and there is nothing to put at all.
When you see that the rice in the pot is steamed, put it out in a basin and set it aside.
Bending over and brushing the pot again, she was sure that if she had just eaten to do this, she would have spit it out.
Li Lanxi opened the oil jar, there was very little oil, it was bottomed out, it could be cooked three or four times at most, and it was gone, thinking that it would not be good to make eggs without oil, and it was really not delicious without oil, so I could only dig a spoonful out, thinking that my mother must not be willing to do so much, and put it back a little, just brush the pot with an oil bottom.
"Xiao Duo, the fire can be bigger"
When the pot is almost ready, pour the vegetables into it, stir-fry it a few times, and the aroma of eggs and wild vegetables will come out.
"Auntie, your stir-fry is so fragrant" Li Xiaoduo was close to each other, smelling the saliva and almost flowing out, strange, she had eaten wild vegetables and eggs, although it was estimated that it was a long time ago when she ate eggs, but it did not prevent her from remembering the taste. But the taste is different from my aunt's fried, it looks delicious and smells more fragrant.
Li Lanxi smiled proudly, "Of course, I don't look at who did it."
Li Xiaohua was waiting on the side, seeing what her aunt needed to help at any time, she also felt that this dish was very fragrant, it seemed that she didn't have to worry about today's meal.
"It's almost done, don't add firewood to Xiao Duo."
When the eggs were scrambled and golden brown, and a small pot was raised on the noodles, Li Lanxi took a big bowl and shoveled it up.
"Auntie, are we going to eat at the edge of the field together or will we eat again when we come back after delivery" Li Xiaoduo's eyes kept looking at the eggs, she didn't eat enough in the morning, and now she smells the fragrance and is even more hungry.
