Chapter 43 Cooking Skills

The old tofu made by Shen Pomegranate became the next day, and the salt brine this time was more detailed than the last time, and the old tofu made looked tender.

"Pomegranate, what are you busy with? It's too early to cook lunch at this time! Zheng sat behind the table eating breakfast, and watched Shen Pomegranate busy early in the morning.

"It's nothing, you eat first." Shen Shimei got up early in the morning, otherwise there were too many things to prepare, and she was afraid that she would be too late.

Shen Shu knew what was going on, so he said, "It's okay mother, let the pomegranate toss." ”

Shen Shimei was making fish pot tofu, and said that he would bring it to Du Xuanmo. She also thought about it, she is not upside down, but she is not reserved. Since you think Du Xuanmo is good, then don't grind, fight for it.

Shen Shimei's side of the things are all in the pot, and when he sees that he is almost out of the pot, he puts it on in a casserole, and when he covers the lid, it is finished.

Shen Shu needs to go to the school in the morning, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and she is reluctant to let the Zheng family freeze outside for a morning, so she and Shen's father will go to the county seat to sell broth in the future.

"Dad, when you come out to sell broth in winter, it is estimated that it is not enough to wear less." Shen Shimei said to Shen's father while walking on the road: "It will be half a day to freeze outside, and it is estimated that the padded jacket will be frozen and cold." ”

Shen's father pondered too, but they didn't want to invest too much in the county now. If you rent a shop, you will have a tight budget.

Shen Shu thought for a while and said, "No, just wrap the skin on the outside of the padded jacket, that thing is wind-resistant!" ”

"I'll find a way, I can't freeze people in winter, and it's not worth making money by then." Father Shen said that it is not easy to make money, and it is indeed difficult to do it in winter.

Shen Shiliu nodded, and the father and son arrived at the county seat.

Shen Shiliu saw that Du Xuanmo's bookstall had not yet set up a stall, so he went to Du's house with a casserole.

After knocking on the door, it was still Du Xuanmo who opened the door.

"Pomegranate girl has come to fetch the stove?" Du Xuanmo said that since it was cold, the work of taking the stove was basically Shen Pomegranate, but he was looking forward to Shen Pomegranate every day.

Shen Shiliu glanced at the courtyard, Du Niangzi was also there, so she sent the casserole in her hand first, and said, "This is the fish pot tofu I made, just heat it up at noon." ”

As soon as the lid of the casserole was opened, Du Niangzi took a look at it and smiled: "The pomegranate girl's craftsmanship is really good, and she looks at it!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "It's good if my aunt doesn't dislike it, I just think about cooking skills on weekdays, that is, I think about making the family full and well-fed, which is not a craft." Shen Shiliu's words were very modest.

Du Xuanmo smiled, and helped Shen Shimei take the stove.

"Thank you Pomegranate Girl, for breaking the bank again." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu waved his hand: "Where is the cost, my stove is in your house, and I always have to disturb it, I'm sorry!" This was actually said to Du Niangzi, which means that she didn't come on purpose.

Du Niangzi didn't take it to heart, looking at the fish pot tofu and feeling fresh.

"I'll go first." Shen Shimei didn't say much, she took the stove and left after sending the things, lest Du Niangzi think she had any intentions.

As soon as Shen Shiliu left, Du Xuanmo came back to look at the fish pot tofu sent, and then asked Du Niangzi: "Mother, is it fragrant?" ”

"Xiang, it is estimated that the restaurants in this county town are not as good as pomegranates!" Du Niangzi said with a smile.

As soon as he heard Du Niangzi say this, Du Xuanmo smiled, and then asked Du Niangzi: "It's a pity, the pomegranate girl has such a good craft, and my mother still dislikes it." ”

As soon as Du Niangzi heard this, she knew that it was Du Xuanmo who drove her away, and said: "Lotus Girl's cooking skills may not be bad!" ”

Du Xuanmo pursed his lips and asked, "Have you eaten it?" Not to mention anything else, the broth sold by the Shen family on weekdays is all cooked by the pomegranate girl, even if the lotus girl is good, it must be no better than the pomegranate! "Now his mind is full of Shen Pomegranate is the best, and whoever says nothing will work!

Du Niangzi pursed her lips and said, "When I find an opportunity, let Lotus come over and see if the Lotus Girl is better than the Pomegranate Girl!" ”

"Then the son is waiting, my mother will eat first at noon, such a good thing, don't eat it all at once!" Du Xuanmo said and took the book to set up a stall first.

Du Niangzi pouted, she also admitted that she had eaten a lot of things from Shen Pomegranate, not only the broth, but also those soft and glutinous pastries, plus the fish pot tofu in front of her, everything was delicious. But what their family wants to marry is a daughter-in-law, not a cook, no matter how good Shen Shimei is, he is not as gentle as Song Lianhua.

Du Niangzi persuaded herself so.

Shen Pomegranate helped Shen's father sell broth, at best, he collected money, and Shen's father was busy alone. When I was stunned, I went to the stove to rub the heat, and a morning was not too difficult.

"Brother is probably about to get out of the school, let's go together." Shen Shiliu said.

"It's okay, then you wait here for a while, I'll go buy sheep goods first." After Shen's father finished speaking, he picked up the bucket first, Shen Pomegranate stepped on the firewood in the stove first, and went to Du Xuanmo's stall to chat while there was nothing to do at this moment.

As soon as Shen Shimei passed, he saw Song Lianhua's figure flashing out of the intersection gracefully, and it seemed that he was coming here.

"Brother Du, have you eaten?" Sending Lotus said to Du Xuanmo with a smile, and saw Shen Shimei also nodded, which was counted as a greeting.

Shen Shiliu also nodded in response, and then looked at what Song Lianhua seemed to be carrying in her hand.

"I made a lot of fish soup, so I thought about sending it over." As he spoke, he handed over the crockpot he was carrying.

Du Xuanmo didn't pick it up immediately, and said, "How can you ask for something from the Lotus Girl for nothing." ”

Shen Pomegranate raised his eyebrows, secretly happy in his heart.

"It's not plain, you don't charge me a penny when I come to read on weekdays, and it's nothing if I send some fish soup." Song Lianhua said, her voice was good, and her face was shy, anyone who saw it would think that this girl was beautiful and beautiful.

Shen Shiliu pretended to continue reading, although his eyes were looking at the book, his ears were still listening.

"Then thank you, Miss Lotus." After Du Xuanmo finished speaking, she accepted the things, didn't her mother just want to try Song Lianhua's cooking skills.

Song Lianhua saw that Du Xuanmo had received something and was about to leave, but was stopped by Du Xuanmo: "Lotus girl, it's rare to send fish soup, let's go to the house to eat some together in a while." ”

Song Lianhua saw that Du Xuanmo took the initiative to invite her to eat at home, and she was naturally happy in her heart, but it was not easy to show it, so she said, "This, this is too disturbing to auntie, right?" ”

Shen Shimei felt unhappy here, and thought to himself that I also sent it, why didn't you Du Xuanmo also invite me?

"It's okay, Pomegranate also sent food today, you both go in a while, or my mother will be embarrassed." As soon as Du Xuanmo's words fell, he heard Shen Shiliu say: "Okay, the Lotus Girl is so beautiful, I also want to taste how delicious the Lotus Girl's fish soup is!" She didn't shirk it at all, she said she would go.

Song Lianhua was speechless, she thought that she was only asked to go alone, but now Shen Pomegranate also went, she was a little lost.

"Isn't Lotus going to go?" Du Xuanmo asked, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then bother Brother Du." Song Lianhua said, I still have to go in the end.

Shen's father had already bought sheep goods and came back, and Shen Shu also came to meet, Shen Shimei talked to his father and brother, and then carried the stove to Du's house.

"Don't come back too late at night, it's not safe!" Father Shen instructed him, he was not very worried, anyway, he would not eat until dark for a meal.

Shen Shu looked at Shen Pomegranate's posture, and Song Lianhua estimated that she would be a little stimulated today.

"Let's go, Dad, pomegranates are measured." Shen Shu helped his father push the cart.

Father Shen also wondered: "What do you want to eat when you go to other people's homes!" ”

Shen Shu didn't say anything with a smile, he learned a new word in the school today, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink.

Shen Shiliu walked to Du Xuanmo's bookstall with the stove, and now the stove is no longer hot.

Du Xuanmo covered the bookstall with oiled paper, greeted Granny Liu next to him, and helped Shen Shiliu hold the stove, and the three of them went home first.

Granny Liu looked at Du Xuanmo's back and was speechless: "Could it be that it is not Dilian?" "She sells some needles and threads on this street, and she has lived for so many years, which can be regarded as some experience.

"This one is good-looking, the other is delicious, if I am this Du boy, I will definitely choose the delicious one, what is the use of being good-looking?" Granny Liu muttered to herself, living to her part, whether it looks good or not, it is really a pair of skins, and no matter how good it is, it is a wrinkle on her face when she is old. But if it's delicious, this day will be different, she has also drunk the broth of the Shen family, what kind of day is moisturizing, her mother-in-law understands!

Du Xuanmo took the two girls home, Du Niangzi was also startled, the pot was messing with the fish pot sent by Shen Pomegranate, and when she saw what Du Xuanmo was carrying in her hand, she asked, "...... is this?" ”

Du Xuanmo put down the stove first, and then handed the crockpot in his hand to Du Niangzi, and said, "This is the fish soup made by the lotus girl, send it to our family to taste!" ”

Du Niangzi was stunned, she really didn't expect that she would come whatever she wanted, and quickly took over the crockpot.

"I'm so embarrassed." Du Niangzi said with a smile.

Du Xuanmo went to fetch a basin of water, and then took hot water from the stove and asked Shen Shimei and Song Lianhua to wash their hands first.

"Mother, I also felt embarrassed, so I called them both to eat together." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu smiled faintly, she didn't believe that the fish soup made by the lotus flower could be better than hers! At this time, she is definitely blindly confident!

Du Niangzi picked her eyes, looked at Du Xuanmo, Du Xuanmo squeezed her eyes at Du Niangzi, let Du Niangzi see how good Shen Pomegranate is today, and just let Song Lianhua not run to him in the future, let Shen Pomegranate see that it is not good.

Du Niangzi took the fish soup to the kitchen and looked inside, just looking at the color, it was indeed Shen Pomegranate's fish pot more pleasing.

After the meals were all heated, Du Niangzi was on the table, and Song Lianhua looked at the fish pot tofu and asked, "...... is this?" ”

"Oh, I did." Shen Shiliu said.

Song Lianhua's mouth pursed together, and she felt that the color and appearance of the fish pot were indeed good, but it was superficial, and it might not be delicious when eaten in the mouth.

Shen Shiliu smiled lightly, he had already guessed what Song Lianhua was thinking!
