CHAPTER XLV

Yang pretended to say: "What are you still polite to me, you really treat me as an outsider, just a few of their big men are resting in the hall, they just want to talk to your fourth brother about men, your brother and a few of them have been wanting to come to see you for so many years, you also know that the people of the old Liu family are stubborn, and they don't say anything in their hearts, but they are also worried in their hearts." Our sister-in-law whispered something in the kitchen, and besides, if we went to rest, there would be only four people left, but we wouldn't be tired. You are a mother's patience, but I can't bear to be an aunt. It's good for us to have a hand in this kitchen, I heard that Siya is now the chef of the town's restaurant, and he wants to learn from it. "Yang's speech is not leaky, hearty and generous.

Liu Shi heard her words, smiled, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't I feel sorry for you, let them be more busy if their young people have good physical strength, we can't accept the old man." Our family won't hide it from you, Siya is in charge, and I have to listen to her. ”

"Hey," Yang sighed softly, and continued, "If Sister Xi is half sensible and capable, I will be happy in my heart." After speaking, they also squatted down to help wash the vegetables, the two women were doing things while gossiping, and the big kitchen was also full of laughter and laughter, so it was not lively. Zhao Jin gave them the work of washing vegetables, she put on an apron to handle the meat, listened to their chat while doing it, and from time to time she had to pull her up and tell her how capable she was, so that she had a feeling of self-shame in the kitchen. The pillar next to him couldn't listen to it for a long time, and his ears were red and he ran out.

The stove will be burning vigorously, fortunately the kitchen is spacious and ventilated, otherwise it is like a stove, after more than half an hour, I saw the boiling heat on the stove. There are several layers of large steamers in the pot, and the fragrant buns are steaming in full swing. Liu estimated that the steaming time was almost up, so he reached out and lifted the top layer of steamer. The steamer was opened, and a boiling heat came to the face,

After the heat dissipated, I saw that the steamed buns in the steamer were already fragrant, and I was hungry when I smelled it. Liu took a pair of chopsticks and gently picked one open, wanting to see if the buns were cooked. She took the bamboo chopsticks, and gently picked up a big bun, last night's dough foamed very well, I felt that the bun was soft and soft, it had been steamed thoroughly, the bun was steamed, Liu asked the guy not to put firewood in the fire first, there was boiling hot water under the steamer, plus there was some charcoal residual temperature in the stove, and the steamed bun was just right to keep warm.

The predecessor of this house is also a large family, there are slaves to serve, so the equipment in the kitchen is very complete, Zhao Jin also liked this more at the beginning, there are a total of three large iron pots on the stove, at this time, the remaining two iron pots are still empty, and one big pot will be used to stew bone broth later, and the other pot will be used for stir-frying, just enough. This type of stove has the advantage that because the three stoves are close together, it is easier to light the fire, and you can take care of all three stoves at the same time with one hand. And at the corner of the stove, a top tank is specially designed, this kind of Ding tank is used to boil water, as long as there is water in the Ding tank, there is a fire in the stove, to ensure that the hot water will not be broken all day, when the stove is burning, even the water in the Ding tank is also heated together, which is very convenient.

The steamed buns were steamed, and it was not too early to see the hour, so Zhao Jin was ready to start cooking. Liu and Yang kept washing vegetables, and two guys came in, one helped Zhao Jin to cut vegetables on the cutting board, and the other cut meat on the side. Everything is ready, Zhao Jin just needs to fry the dishes. A group of people were talking and laughing, and they were busy. It didn't take long for the white radishes to be cut into small pieces, filled with several large pots, and the pork ribs were chopped into small pieces. Zhao Jin filled the pot with a full pot of water, and at this time, the water in the pot was already boiling and bubbling. She poured all the chopped bones into a pot of boiling water and dropped the blood, and then dried the bones that had been drained of the blood, stir-fried them, and put white radish cubes on them, and stewed them in a pot. The mouth of the medium pot is so big, the bottom of the pot is so deep, and such a big iron pot is suitable for stewing white radish bone broth. A small pot will be used for stir-frying later. Some pork ribs deliberately flowed out, and Zhao Jin was going to use them to stuff a pot of braised pork ribs. The four pork legs can also be stuffed in a pot of braised pig's trotters, and the pig's trotters are braised with potatoes. Braised pork ribs, braised pig's trotters, plus white radish bone broth, it is already a three-course dish, Zhao Jin is ready to fry a pot of mushroom slices, fish-flavored shredded pork, a lion's head, boiled fish, add a plate of spicy pickled cabbage, and then get a few vegetarian dishes, the pig's head meat is bone-cut, marinated for a while, cut into thin slices, and eaten in sauce. Seven, seven, eighty, eight counted, there are more than a dozen dishes on the table, the amount of each dish is violently filled, plus the buns of those large steamers, and finally a basket of rice, twelve people sit at each table, as long as there are no people with those hearts, even eat and stuff them into their pockets, it is definitely enough, and they are full.

Zhao Jin picked up the spatula and stir-fried the vegetables in the pot very neatly. Her spatula movements were so neat that she was dizzying, and Yang was dazzled for a while. After a short while, bursts of vegetable aroma rose from the pot with the heat, and the fragrance simply broke the nose, tempting the people in the room to almost drool. Yang stood aside and watched, only to see her swallow her saliva, take Liu's hand, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, Siya's craftsmanship is really amazing, why does this dish smell so fragrant, I can eat more later." ”

When the others heard Yang's words, they all laughed happily, and even the two guys who had not spoken a little restrained couldn't help but purse their mouths and snicker. Before this guest came, Zhao Jin's kitchen was already full of joy.

At this time, Liu Bin finally arrived with the carriage, "Mother, sister, you come out quickly, grandpa they have arrived," the pillar opened his throat and ran all the way to the kitchen and shouted. As soon as the old man and his wife stepped into the threshold, they heard the sound of pillars throughout the house. "This kid is really out of tune." Although Lao Liu Tou said this, his expression was not like this, his face was worthy of my grandson, full of spirit and spirit. I heard that my daughter moved to the town to live and bought a house, and I held a housewarming banquet today, but the old couple was very happy, and I used to worry about my daughter's soft temperament without Zhao Laosi, how can the family live. Especially the Wu family, this old lady was so happy that she couldn't sleep, she got up early this morning, and dragged out of the bed with Old Man Liu. The two old men changed into clean clothes early, and urged Liu Bin to set off for his daughter's house early in the morning. Liu Bin considered that the two old men were old, and they didn't dare to gallop all the way, and they usually used half of the road for more than an hour. When he was in the carriage, Liu Chen, the youngest and most naughty in the family, poked his head out to talk to Liu Bin, who was driving the car, raised his head and asked, "Brother, isn't my cousin's new house beautiful?" Is the town fun? I've never been there, and the rest of the village says it's a lively town. ”

Liu Bin rolled his eyes and gave him: "Why do you have so many questions, 100,000 whys." Won't you know when you get there? Go in and sit well, or you will look good when you get out. Liu Chen stuck out his tongue at him and said, "If you don't say it, you won't say it." Then he got back into the wagon.

The old Liu Tou and his wife walked into the house, and suddenly someone shouted: "Grandpa, grandma has arrived, hurry up, set off firecrackers to greet you." As soon as the words fell, I heard the crackling sound of firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the yard, and the children were scared and happy, and they covered their ears one by one. Liu and Zhao Jin also came out of the kitchen to greet them, and with the sound of crackling firecrackers, the old Liu Tou and his wife were welcomed into the house. Seeing the old Liu Tou and them, Zhao Jin walked behind Liu, and Liu shouted excitedly: "Daddy, you are here." When Wu saw his daughter, his eyes were full of tears, and he said, "Nannan, my son, my mother wants to kill you." Liu said: "It's all daughters who are not filial, and they should have visited you earlier." Wu said: "Don't say it, I know that you are not having a good time, and my mother is also distressed now, I have finally come out, and I will be blessed in the future." Liu couldn't help nodding and said, "This is still Siya's filial piety and ability, this is Siya, you haven't seen it for a long time, can you still recognize it?" Liu grabbed Zhao Jin's hand and pushed it in Wu's direction.

When Wu saw the slim Zhao Jin, he was so excited that he let go of Liu's hand, and then stretched out his hands tremblingly, grabbed Zhao Jin's hand, pulled her into his arms and said: "Siya, grandma's good granddaughter, let you support a family with a female baby, it's really hard for you," As he spoke, Wu couldn't help but cry a little sadly, and his eyes were red. Yang saw Wu raise his sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt, saying, "Mother, today is a good day for my sister-in-law's family, such a good day, don't be sad, otherwise it will be unlucky." "Yes, yes, yes," Wu nodded, "Look at my old fool." ”

After Wu finished speaking, Old Man Liu looked at her sideways, and said strangely: "You old woman, you cry when you are happy, and cry when you are unhappy. Old Man Liu said such things, and after Zhao Jin heard it, he smiled in his heart. She can see that in fact, the relationship between her grandfather and grandmother is very good. After the old man Liu finished complaining, Wu was unconvinced and looked arrogant, that look was really cute, really old, young, the older the younger, the younger it is. Seeing Wu's straight face, Liu hurriedly said to Old Man Liu: "Dad, don't talk about your mother, don't you know your mother's temperament, she has been a soft-hearted person all her life." ”
