Chapter 44: A sudden change in painting style

Originally, the atmosphere was quite good just now, but now that the painting style has changed abruptly, Xu's mother's expression has become gloomy, and Xu Ying can't stand it.

"Oh, it's all over, what do you always want to do with this? Besides, if it weren't for your mother, you pulled our brothers and sisters hard, we wouldn't have the comfortable life we have now, speaking of which, you are the most powerful in our family. ”

As she spoke, Xu Ying also stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up.

Mother Xu was amused by Xu Ying, waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this, you can tell me your opinion." ”

Xu Ying reached out and touched the tip of her nose. "It's really hard to say, I'm not a roundworm in my sister-in-law's stomach, I'm really not sure what she's thinking."

Mother Xu sighed. "Forget it, don't worry about it for now, wait two days and then look at it, if your sister-in-law really wants to take the university entrance examination, she will definitely make some moves."

Xu Ying nodded, that's all.

After the sun passed in the afternoon, Xu Mu and Xu Ying went out to pick strawberries in the production team, and they could earn a little income a day, Liu Yi rested for a while, took out a novel and wrote, seeing that the sun was almost about to go down, Liu Yi put down the book in his hand and came to the kitchen next door to start cooking.

Glancing at the fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, Liu Yi was going to make a stewed potato rice, then mix a cucumber, and finally a dip eggplant.

In the summer, the weather is too hot, and eating too many greasy meals is also a little nauseous.

Liu Yi quickly came to the stove and lit the firewood, then added a few pieces of chopped wood into it, and waited until the fire was too big, Liu Yi hurriedly washed the pot, and then began to wash the rice.

In the time between boiling water, Liu Yi quickly picked up a few large potatoes and peeled them, and then cut them into slices.

Then wash the eggplant and cut it in half, make a few cuts on it, and finally peel off the eggplant stalk and tear it in half, remove the middle branch part and set aside.

After the water in the pot boiled, Liu Yi threw the eggplant and cut the ground directly into it.

During this process, Liu Yi hurriedly cut the cucumber into slices and set aside.

After adding a handful of firewood, the eggplant was quickly scooped up after cooking, and then the water was changed and the rice began to cook.

After boiling two bowls of rice, when it was medium-rare, Liu Yi scooped up the rice and drained it.

The rice soup will be soaked in rice for a while, and if you can't finish it, you can still use it to cook pig food.

Wash the pan, pour some oil, pour in the potato slices and start stir-frying, add salt when medium-rare, then pour the prepared medium-rare rice on the surface of the potato chips, then cover the pan and simmer over low heat.

After doing all this, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then mixed the cucumbers, and used them for a while to make a special refreshing meal, took out a small bowl and made some chili soup, which was used to dip the eggplant later.

Waiting for the aroma to come out of the pot, thinking that it should be almost over, Liu Yi hurriedly opened the lid of the pot and stir-fried the potato slices and rice inside.

The potato slices on the bottom layer were fried in oil, with a golden pot on top, Liu Yi took a deep breath, and her stomach immediately sang about the empty city plan.

Mother Xu and Xu Ying came back from work and were tired and had back pain, the two were talking, and when they were about to go into the kitchen to wash their hands and cook, they smelled the smell of food wafting from the kitchen.

The two looked at each other, and their faces were full of shock.

Can Liu Yi cook?

They didn't expect to have a hot meal when they came back.

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they walked into the kitchen in a hurry.

Liu Yi heard the footsteps, turned her head and saw the two of them smile, picked up the washbasin on the firewood next to her, and poured the leftover water from the eggplant just now.

"Mother, are you back? Come, wash your hands quickly, and we'll be ready to eat soon." ”

Xu Ying paused, and took the lead in stepping forward to take a look.

"What did my sister-in-law do?"

Liu Yi smiled. "I made a mix of cucumbers and eggplant, and then stewed a potato rice, I don't know if it suits your appetite, anyway, I think it's quite delicious."

Seeing this, the expression on Mother Xu's face suddenly became relieved. "It doesn't matter if he's good or not, now he's so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back, and it's good to have something to eat." As he spoke, he quickly washed his hands.

Liu Yi took out three big bowls to serve rice, and then took the food and walked directly towards the hall.

The food was put on the table, and the three women lowered their heads and began to eat silently.

I thought Liu Yi just knew how to cook, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious.

The potato stewed rice is full of oil and water, and the rice grains are stained with the aroma of potatoes fried in lard, and even the rice grains have become the color of potatoes, especially the bottom pot, golden and yellow, the bite is fragrant and crispy, every bite is oozing a little oil and water, the whole room is the aroma of potato stewed rice, if you pour some rice soup into the rice, it is simply delicious in the world.

Dip the eggplant because it is just picked up, a little hot, dipped in the chili, it tastes hot and spicy, especially under the rice, the eggplant stalk is a little bitter at the beginning, but it is sweet after chewing for a long time.

The cucumber is mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and onions, which is not only refreshing and crispy to eat, but also smells like green onions.

Xu Ying took a few bites of rice, raised his head and gave Liu Yi a thumbs up.

"When did my sister-in-law learn to cook? It's a great craft. As she spoke, Xu Ying picked up a piece of eggplant. Sister-in-law, can you eat this? ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly. "Not only can I eat it, but I think it tastes better than eggplant."

Xu Ying stuffed a piece into her mouth with a suspicious face, well, it is indeed very good.

Mother Xu also nodded again and again. "Yes, the rice made in the cauldron is fragrant."

Liu Yi smiled modestly. "Well, I don't think I've eaten it in a long time."

I was in the city for the rest of my life, and I was in the military compound some time ago, and I really ate a long time ago, and I really miss it.

After eating a bowl of rice, Liu Yi got up and prepared to add rice, and saw that the rice in Xu's mother's bowl was almost bottoming out, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'll add it to you." ”

Mother Xu did not refuse, and it was reasonable for the younger generation to add food to the elders.

Taking advantage of Liu Yi going out, Xu Ying hurriedly spoke: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is simply amazing, it is even more delicious than what you make." ”

Mother Xu didn't have time to take care of her, so when she saw Liu Yi coming in, she took the meal handed by Liu Yi, and asked casually, "When are you going to go to see your parents when you come back this time?" ”

Liu Yi thought for a moment. "The day after tomorrow, I'm going to go over and talk to them about continuing to study, and I can't hide it from them, right?"

Xu Mu nodded. "Go back empty-handed?"

"One of them bought them a piece of clothing, except for my brother and sister-in-law, and I was going to send them some food."

Xu Mu continued to nod, but she didn't expect Liu Yi to be quite thoughtful.

"That's good, when you go over, say hello to my in-laws, I won't go, wait for the autumn harvest to pass, and then our whole family will go over to join in the fun."

Liu Yi smiled with crooked eyebrows. "That's good, mother, if you go over, my parents will definitely be happy."

Mother Xu snorted, that's right, when she first got married, half of the reason was because Mother Xu liked the character of Liu's father and Liu's mother, and she always felt that they were such honest and upright people, and the children they taught would definitely not be bad.

Speaking of the autumn harvest, Mother Xu remembered another thing.

"After Yingziqiu's harvest, you can go to your brother's place and ask him to find a job for you, no matter how bad it is, go to the city to find a place to be an apprentice and learn some crafts."

Xu Ying frowned impatiently when she heard this.

"Oh, every time you eat, you talk about it, can you stop it? Besides, I'm a big girl with yellow flowers, and I go to my brother's place every day to make up what's going on? My sister-in-law is still at home. ”

Mother Xu's face immediately collapsed when she heard this. "Am I not doing it for your good? I am your mother, do you think I don't feel sorry when I watch you and me in the ground every day with my back to the loess? If you don't feel sorry, I'm still sorry, you're my flesh! ”

Liu Yi sat next to him and watched the battle, originally thought that the two would quarrel, but he didn't expect the style of painting to change while talking, although it became very sudden, but it looked very heartwarming.
