Chapter Ninety-Three: Chaoshan Tea 2
"Sister, all the vegetables that Brother Kevin asked for have been picked, and Brother Lin is guarding there now, but sister, it's raining so heavily in the morning, can they come?" Liu Shuhao was wearing a raincoat, his whole body was wet, and he said to Liu Shuqing in the hall while taking off his raincoat.
"Why will I come back in the rain, I should take shelter from the rain, I just cooked some ginger soup, and I drank it while it was hot. Brother Lin wasn't in the rain there, was he?" Liu Shuqing held a dry towel with a big belly and handed him to dry his dripping hair.
Liu Shuhao took the towel she handed over in his sister's blaming eyes and said, "Uncle Pumpkin's house near the vegetable field is hiding from the rain, and I can't get wet." ”
"Then why don't you hide, it's not too late to come back when the rain stops. I'm going to report to school the day after tomorrow, what should I do if I catch a cold?" Liu Shuqing glared at him with disgust, turned around and went back to the dining table, poured a bowl full of ginger soup, and gave it to him to drink.
"What are you afraid of, my sister is a famous little miracle doctor from far and near, and even many people in the town have come here, a little feeling, it's a dose of medicine. Liu Shuhao said disapprehantly. "Oh, then I will prescribe you very hard whenever you take medicine, and I see that you still don't take it seriously. Liu Shuqing glanced at him.
"Don't, sister, I was wrong, I must take care of my body in the future. Liu Shuhao put down the bowl and cooperated in a low voice begging for mercy.
"It's a passing rain, it's gone for a while, Kevin and they must be ready, that guy is looking forward to these vegetables like his ancestors, not to mention the rain, even if it's a knife, he has to come." Zhang Zhenxiong, who was sitting on the sofa, said.
There were two crutches standing next to him, and after two months of treatment, he was able to walk on his own. Grandma Liu patted the seat next to her and beckoned with a smile: "Good grandson, come and sit here, your sister made some snacks in the morning, this is pumpkin pie fried, you must love to eat it." ”
Liu Shuhao ran over in a frenzy, coaxing his grandmother again, and talked about the old man happily.
Liu Shuqing said to him: "Call, let Brother Lin come to us at noon to eat, I will make some fresh food for you to eat, and let him stop the rain and pick up Xiaomi and the second uncle and them." ”
After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen, although he had a big belly, Liu Shujing's movements were light and not bulky, so that the family was worried at the beginning, and when they saw her moving easily, they finally let go and let her do what she wanted to do.
Unknowingly, Liu Shuqing came to this world for two days and three months, and her stomach was slowly showing her pregnancy. Especially in the past few days, it has been getting bigger and bigger like blowing a balloon, and the body of more than four months is like someone else's May or June. Fortunately, the child is very well-behaved, staying quietly in the belly, and did not toss her as a mother.
In the kitchen, Liu Shuqing is skillfully chopping vegetables, and she is ready to cook a local specialty food at noon, which is the most famous in the Chaoshan area, called tea. There are many factions that make tea, and Liu Shuqing will only be in a small town called Lucheng, where she and her grandfather once lived for more than half a year and learned it during that time.
It is a unique town, where people know how to eat and are willing to wear, and their mouths are also very fine, so they love to study and eat. They also have a lot of traditional festivals, which are highly valued, and almost every festival has a corresponding pastry. Almost every household has to make these pastries by themselves, which are worth cutting, so the pastries made are particularly delicious and unique.
In addition, this is also a coastal city, with particularly rich seafood resources, and this tea is one of them. When Liu Shuqing lived there, she studied with a grandmother there for a while, and the taste was almost the same as that of the local area.
It happened to be Saturday, and Yang Min was also at home, so he happened to try it and made sure that none of them had eaten it. Yang Min and Xu Lina also came in to help. Liu Shuqing was not polite to them, commanding them to cut all the side dishes finely, and then classify and put them on the plate, she prepared other things, the tea is delicious, but the preparation is too cumbersome, generally a Chaoshan woman alone, has to prepare a morning to complete, and there is a local saying, once the food is made, it is necessary to invite many relatives and friends, or neighbors to eat together, and the family is prosperous and smooth, you can imagine how long it will take.
Tea can be boiled with lean meat, dried shrimp, dried cuttlefish, dried mushrooms, all kinds of beans, plus fresh vegetables fried separately, these rich materials, can be matched at will by the taste of the host, and then a pot of dishes fill the whole table, plus a pot of highlights, soup tea, it is completed.
It took Liu Shuqing and Yang Min more than an hour for the three of them to complete, and it took four or five times before they delivered all the food.
Grandma Liu, Zhang Zhenxiong, and Liu Qihua were all dumbfounded, watching them come out again and again, not knowing what they were doing, why they needed so much, serving everything on the table, and bringing dishes and chopsticks arrived.
"Auntie, millet is here, and my mother said that you made a delicious meal for millet. Millet rushed to Liu Shuqing's side like a small cannonball, and when she saw her tall belly, she quickly stopped, and the sensible didn't dare to get closer, for fear of scaring the baby.
Yes, I don't know if millet likes to eat it, but it's quite fresh, so I guarantee you haven't eaten it. Xiaomi listened to Liu Shuqing's words, and her eyes lit up and she nodded with a smile.
The second uncle and second mother-in-law, Xiaomi's mother and Liu Shulin then came in together. He also held a pot of wormwood baba in his hand. "Qingzi, do you do too much? Mr. Qin's wife and the two drivers' eldest brother are also here, and I asked them to come over for dinner. Liu Shulin scratched his head embarrassedly, out of politeness, he desperately kept the meal, and he really forgot that this was Liu Shuqing's house, so he was a little uncomfortable.
"It's a lot, I estimate that there are enough for twenty people to eat at noon, and the characteristics of the tea are like this, there are too many side dishes, that is, if there is less specially prepared for each thing, there will be a lot of together. They came better, and eating less helped me a lot. Liu Shuqing said with a smile.
"By the way, they've just arrived, or they're already loaded. Liu Shuqing asked him casually, took Xiaomi's little hand, and went to sit on the sofa for a while, his feet were a little sore after standing for a long time.
"It's already installed, the two drivers are very nimble, they move quickly, and they are all loaded. Liu Shulin said.
"Shuqing, we're here for dinner. As soon as Qin Kaiwen stepped into the courtyard, he shouted inside, pulled Li Baihe and walked inside. Already a little older, Chasing Feng and Xingyun saw someone breaking into the yard, first alertly pricked up their ears and made an attack posture, and when they approached, they smelled that it was an acquaintance, and then let down their vigilance and lay down quietly again.
Qin Kaiwen stepped into the hall and smelled a strong fragrance, took a deep breath, and said to his wife next to him with a smile: "We have oral today, and we feel delicious when we smell it." ”
When Liu Shuqing saw them coming in, she stood up with her stomach and said, "Why are there only the two of you, and the two drivers? ”
"Several hotels, all waiting for mountain goods and vegetables, I sent them to send them first, there is food in the car, don't worry about hungry them. Qin Kaiwen explained.
"Alright then, let's start eating. Liu Shuqing nodded understandingly, and Qin Kaiwen politely stepped forward to greet the elders, and then sat down.
Qin Kaiwen looked at the dishes on the table in surprise, glanced at Li Baihe next to him, and said in unison: "Chaoshan tea." ”
"Who made this, and actually knew how to make tea, I heard that the process is very complicated. There are also fried rice and fried peanuts. It's amazing. Qin Kaiwen looked at the table full of tea in surprise, he had been to Chaoshan on a business trip before, and when he got there, he would definitely go to the place where the tea was sold, rub it, and later when he got married, he loved to take his wife to eat with him.
