Chapter Ninety-Eight: Kiss Goodbye
Early the next morning, remembering that Gu Shaoqiu was going to go out early today, Lin Ning got up earlier than usual, woke up vaguely before five o'clock, cleaned up a little, and drove away the last trace of sleepiness, Lin Ning walked to the kitchen, first put the rice that had been soaked yesterday night, and put it in a ceramic casserole to boil. After settling here, Lin Ning slowly added a lot of commonly used objects at home on weekdays, and now it is convenient to take and use at any time.
Take out the previously processed shrimp in the refrigerator, put water and wash it again, put in the seasoning cornstarch and marinate it slightly, wash the green vegetables, and leave it for a while until the rice porridge is cooked until it blooms and is viscous, then chopped and put in the porridge. The simplified version of shrimp and green vegetable porridge she did today, when Gu Shaoqiu was here, the porridge made by Lin Ning was biased towards salty porridge or single porridge, and there was rarely a need to put sugar or other sweet porridge.
Although Gu Shaoqiu didn't say it, but after living together for such a period of time, Lin Ning was a careful person, so he naturally discovered that Gu Shaoqiu didn't eat much sweets, and the taste was a typical salty taste for northerners. Fortunately, Lin Ning is not the kind of person who loves sweets, and even speaking, she can accept sweets, but she doesn't eat them very often, and there will be no conflict between the tastes of the two, and the eating habits at home are biased towards salty and fresh tastes, which is not too difficult.
When cooking porridge, Lin Ning peeled two potatoes by the way, first cut them into thin strips, then changed the knife to cut them into pieces of about two centimeters, and mixed some green onions with seasoning, a little flour and eggs, stirred into a thick paste, directly put them in the pot, heated and brushed with oil, and fried them into golden and fragrant potato soft cakes one spoonful after spoonful.
The salted duck egg was cut into two, divided into eight petals in half, placed on the plate like petals, and the side dishes were put together on a small plate, Lin Ning fried a sesame oil spinach and fried a finger seedling. The seedlings and small fish larvae were bought by her grandmother in the vegetable market before, and when she came back, she carefully scraped the scales and cheeks to squeeze out the groceries in the fish's belly, marinated them in advance with seasonings such as salt and five-spice powder, and put them in the refrigerator to freeze and take them at any time.
Lin Ning just took it out and controlled the moisture, dipped flour on both sides of the board, and fried it in a hot oil pan, which was a fragrant and tender fried small fish fry. Taking advantage of the hot oil, Lin Ning cut three or four steamed buns into thick slices and fried them in the oil pan to the golden red.
For Lin Ning, these side dishes with potato cakes are enough for breakfast, but for Lin Ning, who has experience in raising his younger brother since he was a child, he knows that a man's belly is similar to a bottomless pit, especially Gu Shaoqiu, who consumes a lot of activity, or a real staple food like steamed buns, which makes him feel more full.
Lin Ning's time arrangement is reasonable, the porridge is boiled on the coal stove, the oil pan of the two stoves is used to fry the goods, the pancakes are fried and the pancakes are stir-fried, and the two sides go hand in hand, it didn't take long to get these small dishes and staple foods together, and the porridge was also rolled into the marinated shrimp after being cooked fragrant and smooth, and when I went abroad later, I put the green vegetables and sprinkled with chopped green onions.
Of course, when Lin Ning was busy, Gu Shaoqiu, who got up with Lin Ning on his front and back feet, was naturally not idle. Gu Shaoqiu, who felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and knew that his skills could only be regarded as making do with the cooking of food, used the skillful experience he had recently cultivated to give Lin Ning a start.
When Lin Ning was stir-frying pancakes, he looked at the oil pot on the fire, and when Lin Ning was cooking porridge, he looked at the heat of the oil goods, commanded according to Lin Ning's instructions, and cooperated with the oil out of the pot when it was suitable to come out of the pot. By the way, he helped Lin Ning put all the side dishes, snacks, and staple foods on the table. Waiting for Lin Ning to announce that the porridge was ready, he put a towel on the casserole and sent it to the table, without pretending to be Lin Ning's hand. His daughter-in-law's hands are as delicate as white chives, and he is reluctant to let his daughter-in-law do these jobs.
Lin Ning took the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Shaoqiu opened the pot and served porridge, the young couple cooperated tacitly, without too many words, there was a warm flow in it, and the two of them meditated in this warm atmosphere, enjoying this delicious breakfast in the morning.
Lin Ning's craftsmanship is absolutely guaranteed, the porridge is even better, the shrimp and green vegetable porridge is smooth, soft, salty and delicious, the potato cake is yellow and even, the entrance is soft and fragrant, the sesame oil spinach is refreshing, the side dishes and salted eggs are also a wonderful point, the taste is extraordinary, the small fish and steamed bun slices are very suitable for Gu Shaoqiu's taste, one bite at a time, crispy and delicious, he couldn't be more satisfied!
In the station, he always misses his daughter-in-law's good craftsmanship, thinking that if he stays up for a while, he will be able to wait until his daughter-in-law is with the army for a month and be able to enjoy his daughter-in-law's good craftsmanship, Gu Shaoqiu is infinitely satisfied and happy in his heart.
Lin Ning got up early, and Gu Shaoqiu assisted him in breakfast, and he cooperated properly, saving a lot of time, and doing it quickly, but it was more than half an hour before and after, and when they had eaten and cleaned up, the time would only be around six o'clock. However, the distance between Beijing University and Gu Shaoqiu's current station is really not advanced, even if Gu Shaoqiu's driving level is two or three hours, so Gu Shaoqiu, who still has training to keep an eye on in the morning, can't be delayed, so it's better to set off early.
The blessing of Tolinning's good habits, Gu Shaoqiu only needs to carry the items that Lin Ning packed in advance and set off at this time. During this trip, Lin Ning packed some clothes, indoor slippers and other household supplies for Gu Shaoqiu in advance, although the troops had all covered food, clothing, housing and transportation, so they could get by without Lin Ning worrying.
However, Lin Ning felt that as a wife, she still wanted to do her best, so she prepared two regular changes of clothes for Gu Shaoqiu, two sets of home pajamas, a pair of indoor slippers padded with cotton, and bought her own noodles, Lin Ningtuo's aunt taught her to sew and make them by herself, a pair of calfskin shoes, and some fried noodles such as walnuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, and a canned of beef jerky with milk powder... This is for Gu Shaoqiu to be hungry, so he can add food at any time. It can be said that Lin Ning is concerned about food and clothing.
Gu Shaoqiu carried the luggage prepared by Lin Ning, and walked side by side all the way Gu Shaoqiu sent it to the car at the door, "Shaoqiu, pay attention to driving on the road, I'd rather slow than rush, it's cold in the mountains, you take care of yourself!" ”
"Daughter-in-law, you take care of yourself at home, don't be wronged by yourself, you can eat and buy whatever you want, you don't have to save it, what heavy work is left there at home, wait for me to come back and do it..." Gu Shaoqiu opened the car door, put the luggage on the co-pilot's seat, and reluctantly told his daughter-in-law, expressing his reluctance to part.
After several back and forth, seeing that Gu Shaoqiu didn't leave, it would really be too late, Gu Shaoqiu finally looked at Lin Ning deeply, stretched out his hand and couldn't restrain himself from holding his daughter-in-law in his arms, who was already reluctant to leave yet, sniffing the faint fragrance of his daughter-in-law, Gu Shaoqiu couldn't help himself, lowered his head gently, and imprinted a kiss on Lin Ning's slightly raised forehead.
