Chapter 20: Cooking for the Family

"No, I'm here." Ye Tiantian was startled by Ye Laosan who appeared behind him.

Ye Laosan, who usually doesn't go out of the room at all, doesn't know why he also came out.

Ye Tiantian suddenly thought narcissistically, could it be that he was attracted by the aroma of the rice he cooked?

Ye Laosan walked straight past Ye Tiantian, made it at the dinner table, picked up a bowl of dandan noodles and began to eat.

Seeing that Ye Laosan was willing to go out of the room to eat with her, Mrs. Zheng was also very happy, and hurriedly sat down to eat noodles with Ye Laosan.

After everyone was seated, Ye Tiantian found that he was still missing a bowl of dandan noodles he made, but fortunately he still had a lot of noodles left in the pot, so he went back to the kitchen and filled a new bowl of dandan noodles for Ye Laoda, who was sitting on the table without moving chopsticks.

By the time Ye Tiantian returned to the dining table, most of the fish-flavored eggplant and boiled meat slices had already been eaten, and no one paid attention to Ye Tiantian's arrival.

After handing over the noodles, Ye Tiantian returned to the kitchen and ate the meal she left behind with Ye Xiaozhou.

Seeing that Ye Xiaozhou ate so fragrantly, Ye Tiantian felt that his fatigue from cooking was swept away, and he and Xiaozhou buried their heads in eating, and after a while, the noodles in the pot were eaten by the two of them.

Estimating that everyone in the lobby should have eaten almost enough, Ye Tiantian prepared to go over and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Only Mrs. Zheng and the Li family were left at the dinner table, and the rest should have already returned to the room, Ye Tiantian said softly: "Grandma, auntie, I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks." ”

The noodles and dishes on the dinner table were clean, Ye Tiantian felt that this was the greatest affirmation of his cooking skills, and happily cleaned up.

After almost stacking the bowls together, Ye Tiantian was about to bring them into the kitchen, when Mrs. Zheng stopped her.

"Ye Tiantian, in the future, you will cook our family's meal, and your aunt will not be happy."

Although Mrs. Zheng said this to Ye Tiantian, she accentuated the tone of the three words "Your Auntie".

Li Shi is not stupid, he heard it at once, and said with a smile: "Mother, what you said is not right, I didn't say that I didn't want to cook, you wanted Ye Tiantian to do it, don't talk about me." ”

Mrs. Zheng, who was demolished by the Li family, felt that she couldn't hold her face on her face, and angrily scolded the Li family: "If it weren't for you being lazy, how could it be Ye Tiantian cooking today?" Are you really blind to me, an old lady? ,”

Li Shi was not convinced, even if he was angry with Ye Tiantian, this old woman couldn't get along with herself every day, and she didn't want to back down today, so she counterattacked: "It's not right for my mother to say that, if you want to eat the food I cook, I'm willing to do it, it depends on who you want to eat." ”

Ye Tiantian watched Mrs. Zheng and the Li family quarrel again, and he didn't know whether to leave or continue to stay and watch the play/

She guessed that Mrs. Zheng might let herself cook for everyone in the Ye family later, but she didn't expect that the Li family would also be here, and the two of them were still arguing.

Ye Tiantian said tentatively: "Grandma, do you really want me to cook everyone's food in the future, the food I cook is definitely not as delicious as the eldest mother, or grandma will think about it again, don't be angry with the eldest mother." ”

When Li heard Ye Tiantian say that his cooking was better than hers, he felt a lot more comfortable, and even Ye Tiantian himself admitted it, looking at what else this old woman had to say.

Old Lady Zheng didn't expect Ye Tiantian to help Li speak, so she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she cleared her throat and coughed.

Ye Tiantian didn't want to help the Li family speak, but now that the Li family was here, he had to say such a thing.

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng didn't respond, Ye Tiantian said again: "Grandma, I know that you are distressed that your aunt cooks hard, I am not afraid of hard work, if you are willing to eat the food I cook, I can cook for you every day in the future." ”

Seeing that Ye Tiantian gave the steps to let him go down, Mrs. Zheng didn't keep a straight face, and responded: "In the future, you can cook, some people in the province are tired." ”

Hearing that there was no need to cook three meals for the whole family in the future, it was too late for Li to be happy, and he didn't care about what Mrs. Zheng had to say, so he hurriedly said: "Since you also want to cook, then of course I, the eldest mother, can't refuse, do it well." ”

Ye Tiantian saw that Mrs. Zheng and the Li family both wanted to let themselves cook, of course she couldn't let go of such a good opportunity to talk about the conditions, she hesitated and said: "Grandma, but every day I go to the market to buy vegetables, and I have to prepare a big family's meal, and I may not be busy with farm work, what can I do." ”

After hearing this, the gloomy expression on Mrs. Zheng's face dissipated, and she laughed and said, "Then you will specialize in cooking in the future, your aunt doesn't do farm work when she cooks, it's okay." ”

Afraid that Li and Mrs. Zheng would quarrel again, Ye Tiantian hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back to the kitchen to clean up first, grandma and aunt have worked hard." ”

After leaving the lobby with the bowl, Ye Tiantian thought of what had just happened, and his brows furrowed, Li and Mrs. Zheng quarreled, why did they bring themselves?

This is good, both sides are about to offend, and next, they can only take one step at a time.

After returning to the kitchen, Ye Tiantian and Ye Xiaozhou finished washing the Ye family's dishes and chopsticks, and Ye Tiantian told Ye Xiaozhou that he and she didn't have to do farm work anymore.

Ye Xiaozhou was not as happy as Ye Tiantian expected, but became depressed.

Ye Tiantian looked at the unhappy Ye Xiaozhou and asked suspiciously, "Xiaozhou, what's wrong?" How can you not be happy when you don't have to work? ”

"Sister, I want to work, grandma sees that I can work, she hasn't scolded me for a long time, I want to work..."Ye Xiaozhou lowered his head, tears rolling in his eyes.

Ye Tiantian hugged Ye Xiaozhou, patted her back distressedly, and said gently: "Okay, Xiaozhou can work if he wants to, it's okay, Xiaozhou is good." “

After appeasing Ye Xiaozhou, Ye Tiantian thought about what she made today, which was a habit left over from her previous life, and she had to reflect on this meal after cooking.

Although the Ye family had finished eating what they had cooked, Ye Tiantian found a lot of things that were missing in the Ye family's kitchen while cooking.

In the absence of these things, Ye Tiantian can only find substitutes or omit these steps, and the taste of the dish will naturally deteriorate.

When making fish-flavored eggplant, the cornstarch is replaced by corn flour, and the taste is not bad, so the cornstarch does not need to be looked for anymore, but when making boiled meat slices, there is neither chili pepper nor starch in his hands, and he can only rely on peppercorns to improve the taste, and the taste is indeed a big difference.

As a Sichuan chef, Ye Tiantian is most familiar with chili peppers, but he didn't see it at all in the Ye family, so Ye Tiantian decided to go to the market to buy the seasoning supplies that the Ye family lacked.

Since he decided to cook for the Ye family every day, he also has to be his own chef.
