Chapter 104: Braised Meat with Spring Bamboo Shoots

Seeing him so warmly invited, even his son, daughter-in-law and the eldest lady of the family came to invite, Qi Ling really couldn't refuse, so he could only relax.

"Then it's troublesome for your family, I'll stay and try the spring bamboo shoot stew made by my aunt!"

"Okay, okay! I'll go cook now, daughter-in-law, quickly take out the fried dried fruits, and accompany Miss Qi Ling to talk in our yard for a while! ”

After the old lady gave the order, she hurried to dig fresh bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest in the backyard.

The old man put away the bamboo basket that he had not finished weaving just now, and chopped the bamboo strips with a knife with his son.

As long as the bamboo strips to be used tomorrow are packed up today, tomorrow's work will be much easier.

Their daughter-in-law, Qi Ling, had never seen her in the village before, but when she chatted with her, she found that she was also a reasonable and interesting person, and saw that she was very quick in doing things, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of love in her heart.

"Sister-in-law Gu, last time my workshop recruited people, why didn't you try it?"

"Don't call me Sister-in-law Gu, see me more, you can call me Sister-in-law Qiu Ju!"

"Last time, my mother's family had some things, so I went back, and I just missed the recruitment, and then you didn't want to recruit people to plant flowers on the mountain, so I let my family go!"

Sister-in-law Qiu Ju said and stuffed a handful of walnuts that she had beaten on the mountain last year into Qi Ling's hand, and Qi Ling took it only to find that she had carefully opened a hole for herself.

Such thoughtfulness was in Qi Ling's mind, and she asked hesitantly.

"Sister-in-law Qiu Ju, my small workshop has been a little understaffed recently, if you like this job, why don't you come to work with me?"

Hearing her say this, Sister-in-law Qiu Ju's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but shout.

"Miss Qi Ling, are you serious, then I must be able to see it, now the men, women and children in our village, who doesn't want to come to you to do work! I didn't expect you to let me in. ”

Qi Ling was very happy to see her, and she was very happy in her heart, a few days ago she found that there were still too few people in the workshop, and occasionally if anyone asked for a leave of absence if they had something, it was even more obvious that they were understaffed.

Now that I've found another person who is so capable, I guess the pressure on others will be less.

As soon as the old lady who had finished digging bamboo shoots walked to the front yard of her house, she heard her daughter-in-law say that she could work in the Qiling workshop in the future, and her heart was simply happy.

Therefore, when cutting the meat, his subordinates were even more ruthless, cutting all the meat that was originally planned to be eaten for two or three meals at one time, ready to let Qi Ling eat it happily!

It didn't take long for Qi Ling to smell the aroma coming from their kitchen, it was indeed very fresh, the smell was like carrying a hook, just one sniff would make people hungry.

After a while, she came out of the kitchen with a plate of braised spring bamboo shoots with bright and attractive colors, and shouted in her mouth.

"Miss Qi Ling, don't be busy, let's eat quickly!"

Sister-in-law Qiu Ju also hurried into the kitchen to help her mother-in-law serve food and chopsticks, and do some chores.

When the old man heard the shouting, he and his son put down the work in their hands, washed their hands, and sat down at the table.

"Miss Qi Ling, we won't give you any more vegetables, you can be casual yourself, just treat this as your own home, you can eat whatever you want, don't be restrained."

The old lady handed Qi Ling a bowl of steaming rice and said with a smile.

"That's too much, I can't finish it!"

Qi Ling faced the rice bowl that was bigger than the bowl he usually used, and felt that he really had more than enough strength to do so.

Sister-in-law Qiu Ju laughed when she saw Qi Ling's embarrassed expression.

"Sister Qi Ling, you can eat with confidence, don't look at me so thin, every time my mother-in-law cooks this dish, I can eat two bowls of rice! This dish is really delicious! ”

Qi Ling looked at Qiu Ju's waist, she was a very thin kind of person, even her waist was very thin, how could she eat two bowls of rice.

But when she caught a glimpse of Qiu Ju's sister-in-law in front of her, Qi Ling was silent, her bowl was indeed fuller than her own, and it was almost piled up.

Looking at the old man and his son again, Qi Ling didn't know what to say, the two of them even gave up the bowl and used the small basin directly.

Could it be that this is the house of a big stomach king that she accidentally broke into? Why is everyone's food so scary?

Qi Ling suspiciously put a chopstick bamboo shoot stew into the bowl and put it in his mouth.

How do you describe it?

The entrance is one word, fresh!

It's so fresh that you can swallow your tongue, and although there don't seem to be mushrooms in this dish, the flavor of the mushrooms is all soaked in the meat.

Spring shoots are crisp and tender, and pork is fat and juicy, absorbing each other's flavors, but both retain their own qualities.

It's really delicious!

As soon as Qi Ling swallowed the dish, he couldn't help but send a mouthful of rice to his mouth.

When the rice was in her mouth, she realized that even this rice was very good! Unique!

Because it has a bamboo fragrance in it, although there is some astringency, but it relieves the greasy caused by the thick oil red sauce of this dish just now.

It's just that where did this bamboo incense come from, Qi Ling was a little curious.

Seeing her staring blankly at the rice, the eldest lady naturally knew what she was curious about, after all, her daughter-in-law was also curious when she ate it for the first time.

"Miss Qi Ling, the water used for steaming rice is made by beating fresh bamboo leaves into juice and mixing them with water, so the steamed rice will have a bamboo fragrance."

It turned out that this was the case, Qi Ling looked at the rice in his bowl, and it was indeed slightly green.

It's an interesting idea!

Qi Ling couldn't help but send another mouthful of rice to his mouth, only to find that if he ate simply, although the bamboo fragrance was heavier, the astringent taste was also heavier, so it was better to stew meat with spring bamboo shoots!

With this combination, it's no wonder that Sister-in-law Qiu Ju said that she could eat two bowls of rice, and even Qi Ling herself, looking at her bowl of rice, felt that it was not a problem at all!

It's just that just when Qi Ling was eating with relish, she suddenly let out an "oops" and couldn't help patting her head.

"Miss Qi Ling, what's wrong?"

When a table of people saw her like this, they thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked in unison.

"I forgot to tell Gu Jinfeng where I went when I came, and I forgot to go back just now to say that I was eating here, maybe he should be in a hurry!"

Qi Ling was in a hurry when he came, and he didn't think about greeting Gu Jinfeng at all, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that he still has to hurry home, but he is reluctant to braised meat with spring bamboo shoots.
