Chapter Twenty-Six: Eating Can't Stop Your Mouth

"In-laws!" Huo Dagui said to Kou Dewang with a smile: "Her mouth can't speak, it was originally a good intention, and it was ugly to hear from her mouth." ”

Koudwan smiled silently, his head bowed and playing with his glass. Huo Dagui pondered his expression, raised his head with a smile and asked Kou Xi, "This table is all your cooking?"

Kou Xi sat down in front of his father-in-law and nodded: "En's are all my fried dishes, and Xiao Man will help me light the fire." ”

Huo Dagui nodded: "This craftsmanship is better than the craftsmanship of Lao Zheng in the east of the village." As far as his three-legged cat kung fu, he also ran around the greenhouse to do red and white ceremonies. He took a peanut with chopsticks and put it in his mouth: "Just this dish, it's really good." ”

Li Cuilian was counted down by her husband, and she shrunk her neck and didn't dare to scream anymore. Said curtly: "No, it's still Kou Xi's craftsmanship." After making so many dishes in such a while, now that I go to work, my skills are all at once. When I first got married, the steamed nest head was hard and couldn't bite, and I gave it to the donkey of the old Zhang family in the east to eat, and the donkey didn't eat it!"

Kou Xi scraped the tip of his nose with his fingers and said vaguely: "I learned everything from my colleagues when I went to work." It's not difficult to cook, you can learn it as soon as you learn it. My grandmother's cooking is delicious, and maybe I'm with my mom. ”

She raised her head and looked at Kou Dewang: "My mother's craftsmanship was very good back then, right, Dad?"

Kou Dewang put down his wine glass and said with feeling: "Your mother is very talented in cooking, but she couldn't afford to eat anything at that time. But as long as she has eaten it, she can make it, and you really follow her!"

Gao Liman pursed his lips disapprerovingly, and put a piece of braised pork in his son's bowl: "Then you have to have seen and eaten it, like I haven't seen anything in the world." The braised pork is the first time I've seen it made with my own eyes, and I've never heard of eggs in it. ”

She bowed her head to Huo Tianyi: "You can be with your aunt more in the future, your aunt has eaten a lot of delicious food." ”

Kou Xi couldn't stand Gao Liman's sneering like this, and said coldly: "As long as you have the heart to do it, you can't do anything." It's up to you to work on your child. ”

Kou Xi pointed to this table of dishes and said, "This table looks like the New Year, but it doesn't cost much." ”

She pointed to the braised pork with chopsticks: "I spent five yuan to buy more than two catties of this pork belly, the catfish cost five catties for one piece of five, the peanuts cost eight cents to buy raw, and the chicken gizzard only cost seven cents, only half of it was fried." In the market, I spent a total of eight dollars to return home. ”

After a pause, he said: "The tofu is made at home, and I can't spend much oil even if I fry it too much." I also cut the meat in the fried bean stew from the pork belly. Potato chips, carrots, cucumbers, eggplants are all just brought back from home, and I don't need to pay to grow them myself!"

In this way, Li Cuilian's mother-in-law co-authored half a duck, a few pieces of tofu and four salted duck eggs. Such a table of good dishes is all spent by Kou Xi alone.

"Eight yuan is not expensive!" Gao Liman couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Sister-in-law is a person who makes money, we can't compare with you!"

Kou Xi sneered: "You really can't compare with me!" She glanced at Gao Liman: "My dad is here, and I will pay for the hospitality of delicious food, four vegetables, and four cold dishes." Someone else invited my dad to dinner, which is the minimum specification. Your dad is here, and you don't have the money to buy groceries, that's your business. ”

Kou Xi did not show weakness and knocked her seven inches: "If you feel extravagant, you can not eat it." Or you can eat some vermicelli, tofu, and duck eggs, which are all Lao Huo's own things. Oh, by the way, this half of the duck is also the private property of the old Huo family, and you can also eat it. As for the rest, the money I spend, if you want to eat, just keep your mouth shut. ”

Gao Liman was very faceless when she said this, she wanted to smash the chopsticks hard and say that she wouldn't eat. But I really can't bear the good food on this table, so I can only turn my grief into appetite. As for Horu, the tongue between his wife and sister-in-law did not delay him from drinking at all.

There are so many appetizers today, and he wants to enjoy it.

When Huo Dagui heard Kou Xi's words, he only felt that he was slapped in the face. I couldn't hang up in front of my in-laws, so I said stubbornly: "When my in-laws come, I can still let you spend money? When I go out, others are not allowed to point at my backbone and scold me? ”

Kou Xi smiled and said, "Dad, I didn't mean that. That's it, I made this table of dishes, and I have a good idea of how much it will cost. If you want to say that it is expensive, it is that prices have risen too fast in the past two years. The red bananas and apples in our unit have risen to seventy-one pounds. The milk powder has risen to three and a half!"

Li Cuilian was stunned: "What? That banana and apple have risen to seven a piece? I really can't afford to eat it!"

Huo Dagui hurriedly changed the topic, pretending to be very interested and asked, "Where is Guoguang Apple?"

Kou Xi said: "In the first half of the year, it was two or one pounds a piece, and the apples have come down for a while, so it can be cheaper." When the Chinese New Year is approaching, the wholesale price is estimated to be a dollar and a catty. ”

Li Cuilian shook her head again and again: "I really can't afford to eat that thing like apples, and I can't afford to eat it for the New Year." Let's buy some frozen pears to eat!" she looked at Kou Dewang's flattery: "In-laws, you are a buyer of the supply and marketing cooperative." You will definitely be able to get the purchase price, and we will buy it from you when the Chinese New Year comes, cheaper. ”

Gao Liman immediately said: "My uncle will definitely be able to get the purchase price, the family doesn't talk to each other, and I will go with my sister-in-law when the New Year is approaching." ”

What Kou Xi admires most is the cheekiness of Li Cuilian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who can instantly forget the confrontation just now. Thinking of the advantage I could take, I climbed up the pole.

If you want to deal with them, they will say: "I am such a real person with a straight intestine, I can't talk more than my brain, don't be like me." ”

If you are really angry with them, it will make people think that you are stingy. Sometimes I really can't say that, and I feel suffocated when I think about it.

Kou Dewang nodded and hit Huo Dagui with words with a smile: "My daughter got married, and our two families are a family." I'll definitely help if I can, after all, my children are with you. ”

But!!!

"I've always told Kou Xi that this person has to be a little ambitious, especially after you get married. You see that she has a job now, she can earn money, and she has the confidence to do everything. Kou Dewang stared at his daughter: "Your filial piety to Dad, Dad understands it in his heart." Today's meal is indeed a bit too much, but you can't live like this if you don't celebrate the New Year. Dad will have to come to see you often in the future, don't you eat the family poor?"

Kou Xi immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, I'm not also thinking about improving the food for my family." The Mid-Autumn Festival didn't go well, and I saw that my eldest sister didn't eat all the time when she came back. ”

Huo Dagui heard Kou Xi mention Huo Jiaojiao's return to her parents' house, and glanced at the table in front of him. Thinking about it again, Kou Xi said that this big table only cost eight yuan.

The heart suddenly sank, and an eye knife shot at Li Cuilian's body, which scared Li Cuilian to tremble.
