"Xiaoxi, let you come to my birthday party, why did you bring us so many things? I can't help but delay your time and things, but you ......" Li Qingqing put her arm around Song Xi, and she didn't know what to say.

Song Xi smiled disapprovingly, "It's too eye-catching to eat so many things in the mountains, bring it here, I can also have a full meal!" Sister Qingqing, come over and help, otherwise it will be too late to cook. ”

"Okay." Li Qingqing rolled up her sleeves, sat on the small bench, and began to wash the ingredients.

And Song Xi went to the kitchen to prepare, it was already noon, and if the fire was not turned on again, the rest of the Li family would not be able to eat hot meals when they came back from work.

Grandpa Li came over to take charge of the fire.

Song Xi started cooking, she braised the pig's trotters first, and she braised the eight pig's trotters she brought over and the five pig's trotters that Li Qingqing bought.

In addition, the crab is also thrown into the marinade, so that there is no need to make crabs separately, besides, crabs and pig's trotters have no food to contradict each other, crab stewed pig's trotters is also a dish!

The braised vegetables were marinated on the stove, so Song Xi used a large iron pot to start making braised fish and braised eel, and also fried a few green vegetables.

After Song Xi made these dishes, Grandma Li came over to make spicy rabbit meat and mushroom stewed chicken.

"Grandma, the braised pork is back packed." When Song Xi and Grandma Li were busy in the kitchen, Li Qingqing came in with a few lunch boxes.

The braised pork is packed in two lunch boxes, and the other two are braised lamb chops.

Seeing this, Song Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand and took it, "Sister Qingqing, leave it to me, I'll deal with it." ”

"Xiaoxi, I'm really bothering you, today I have a birthday, I invited you over for dinner, but I made you cook so hard." Li Qingqing said a little embarrassed.

"Who said I cooked? I'm just helping Grandma Li! Song Xi pushed Li Qingqing's forehead, "Okay, you go out and help me peel and slice the water chestnuts, it will be useful for a while!" ”

Since it takes a while for water chestnuts to peel, Song Xi first made fried meat with winter bamboo shoots, she returned the braised pork packed by Li Qingqing back to the pot with water, and then added the winter bamboo shoot slices, and after cooking it for a few minutes, a fragrant braised pork stewed bamboo shoots was freshly baked.

Waiting for Li Qingqing to bring the sliced water chestnuts, Song Xi used another portion of braised pork back to the pot to cook, water chestnuts fried meat, water chestnuts are crispy, sweet and refreshing, just to relieve the oiliness of the braised pork.

When the rest of the Li family came back from work, a sumptuous lunch had already been prepared.

However, it is not only the Li family's parents and Li Qingqing's two brothers who came back today, but also one more female comrade, who wears the same factory uniform as Li Qingqing's eldest brother Li Yu, and it seems that she works in the same factory.

Everyone looked at the table of food, and they couldn't help but secrete saliva in their mouths.

Braised fish, braised pig's trotters, braised crab, braised eel, stir-fried water chestnut, braised pork stewed bamboo shoots, spicy rabbit meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stewed radish with lamb chops, garlic rattan vegetables, stir-fried choy sum, stir-fried lettuce with garlic, cold fungus, bok choy in soup, shrimp and egg soup, pork rib soup.

However, there is also some vegetable mix in the soup so that the soup is not too salty.

There are also loaches Song Xi didn't make because there was no tofu, but she had already told Grandma Li to let Grandma Li raise the loaches for a few days, and she would make loach stewed tofu when she could buy tofu.

With a full sixteen dishes, which one can have such a standard of living?

Grandpa Li said, "Today's lunch, Xiaoxi has made a lot of efforts, most of the ingredients are brought by her, and she made them, you have to thank her well, don't take her good for granted." ”

"Xiaoxi, thank you so much, thank you so much, thank you for your hard work." Mother Li came to Song Xi's side, took her hand enthusiastically, patted her, and then introduced her, "Next to your eldest brother Li Yu is his colleague and object Wang Xue, who was introduced by relatives during the Chinese New Year, you will call her Sister Wang Xue in the future!" Wang Xue, this is Song Xi, Qingqing's sister. ”

Song Xi looked at Wang Xue and smiled at Wang Xue, "Sister Xue, it's nice to meet you." ”

Wang Xue was a little cramped, but she still smiled politely, "Hello, I heard Li Yu mention you before, I've always been very curious about you, I really surprised me to see you today, I didn't expect Xiaoxi to be so good-looking, it's really enviable." ”

"Sister Xue, you don't have to envy me, as long as you maintain a good attitude and often come to the house to accompany Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, you will become more and more beautiful in the future." She would occasionally come over to add a few drops of spiritual spring water to the Li family's water tank, if Wang Xue often came to eat and drink, under the nourishment of spiritual spring water, she would naturally slowly become more beautiful and healthier.

"Okay, then I'll borrow Xiao Xijiyan." Wang Xue slowly became less cramped and uneasy, seeing that Song Xi was not difficult to get along with, she was not so stressed.

She was really afraid that she would have a conflict with Song Xi, and the Li family would all stand on Song Xi's side!

Although she and Li Yu are from the same factory, she has really never seen it before!

It was also because others introduced them to each other that they met, and she knew that she had only been with the Li family for a short time, so she naturally did not dare to challenge Song Xi's status in the eyes of the Li family.

"Let's sit down and eat! Otherwise, some dishes are cold, and the taste and texture will be affected. Grandma Li reminded beside her, and then everyone sat down, because the food was already on the table, and there was no need to go to the kitchen to serve the meal.

The Li family's lunch is sweet potato rice, which can save some rice, although their family is an urban household registration and has a supply of grain, but the proportion of fine grains is very small, so it is better to eat it together.

"I'll go to the kitchen and I'll be right out." Seeing that everyone was waiting for the meal, Song Xi came to the kitchen, took out two brown sugar cakes from the supermarket, and brought them out on a plate, "Sister Qingqing, today is your birthday, and I don't have anything good to give you, so I used brown sugar, flour and red dates to make two brown sugar cakes for you as a birthday cake, Sister Qingqing, happy birthday, I hope you are happy, healthy and beautiful, I wish you a better tomorrow." ”

The size of the brown sugar cake is not large, just enough to be placed on a vegetable plate, Song Xi just used the vegetable plate to carry it to the lively dining table one by one.

Li Qingqing was about to shed tears with joy, and the impact it brought to her was too great.

"Sister Qingqing, don't cry, today is your birthday, you should be happy and beautiful, try it to see if the hair cake is delicious, I made it by myself!" Song Xi hurriedly put two plates of hair cakes on the dining table.

Although there are quick-frozen brown sugar cakes that can be eaten as long as they are heated in the freezer cabinet of the supermarket, it is now people's birthdays, and it is a bit opportunistic and insincere to take the words in the supermarket directly.

In addition, the method of making cakes is quite simple, so she made two of them herself.
