Chapter 39 Winter melon pork rib soup

According to what Lu Changqing wrote above, she went to the vegetable market to pick half a piece of winter melon and two catties of pork ribs to go home.

Soak the pork ribs in cold water first, and then process the winter melon on the cutting board.

You don't need to cut the skin of the winter melon, but you have to cut off two inches long from the round end to make a lid, and the two pieces of winter melon pulp are cleaned and washed inside and out, and then the pot is washed and a spoonful of lard is dug into it, and the ribs are fried until golden on both sides.

Then brush the pot and boil it dry, directly put the flat side of the winter melon into the pot, burn for two minutes to make the winter melon and the pot tight, and then pour in two bowls of boiling water, throw the green onion ginger and pork ribs into it together, add a spoonful of salt, cover the two-inch winter melon that was cut off just now as a cover, simmer for half an hour, and the whole yard is fragrant.

The fragrance of winter melon pork ribs on Zhou Huilan's side quickly wafted out.

Zhou Huilan originally wanted to bring a bowl to Lu's house, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but look stingy, so she simply went to Lu's house and called Aunt Fengxia to come, took the pot, loaded a pot, and went back to eat with the whole family.

Seeing the winter melon in the pot, Lu Fengxia was also very surprised, "Stew, can this be cooked?" ”

Zhou Huilan took a handkerchief and uncovered the winter melon lid on the top, the fragrance of pork ribs came to her face, and the fragrance of winter melon soup with a layer of oil was even stronger, and the greedy aunt was so embarrassed that she licked her mouth.

"Look at your cooking, it's thoughtful and delicious, I really can't learn it."

After so many days of contact, Zhou Huilan also understood Lu Fengxia's temperament, so she told her what Lu Changqing told her and told her aunt again, but after she finished talking this time, Lu Fengxia didn't open her mouth, and suddenly a loud voice floated over.

"Is this pot a stewed winter melon?"

Zhou Huilan and Lu Fengxia were both stunned, and when they looked around the yard, they didn't see anyone, and Granny Duan was still lying in the house.

"Here, here, here!"

Following the voice, there was a person lying on a ladder on the west wall of the courtyard, smiling and waving at Zhou Huilan to say hello, "I said, I have been smelling whose cooking is so fragrant recently, dare to love that Granny Duan's family has moved a clever chef, your winter melon stew is really fragrant, can you teach me?" ”

They are all neighbors, in line with the attitude of being kind to others, Zhou Huilan will not refuse, but this recipe was given by Lu Changqing, and she can't pass it on without authorization.

"Auntie said and laughed, I just groped for it myself, and I don't know how to teach people at all."

"Why not? You can just tell me how to do it, or you can do it again and ask me to look around, okay? ”

"Aunt Niu, other girls are thin-skinned, and you are thick-skinned, can't you see that people don't want to teach? Your man is a master chef in a state-run restaurant, and he still needs to learn how to cook from others? ”

"I didn't ask you, why do you talk so much." Aunt Niu pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Fengxia viciously, and smiled at Zhou Huilan again.

"Hey, you ...... man"

Zhou Huilan pulled Aunt Fengxia, "Aunt Niu, right?" ”

"Alas!" The head lying on the wall was a little excited.

"I can't teach, and I really don't want to. Although you climb this wall and it is shared by two families, if you crush it and smash my things, will you lose money? ”

"You ......" Aunt Niu's face directly turned the color of pork liver.

"If you don't leave, I'll poke you with a stick......" Zhou Huilan made a gesture to get a stick, and the head on the wall was gone.

"To deal with this kind of person, you can't give her face, the better you talk, the more she can get in, and you can't start!" Lu Fengxia snorted angrily at the wall.

Although Zhou Huilan didn't like this person who climbed the wall to peep, she could also see that Lu Fengxia didn't simply dislike that.

"Auntie, you said that she is a man, and she is the master of the state-run hotel?"

"Yes, it's called Niu Guangde," he said, glancing into the house, before he lowered his voice and said: "I also heard what Changqing's grandmother said, the old lady of the Niu family is powerful, she raised two sons, the eldest son learned to cook and has skills, and has become a fragrant dumpling in a state-run hotel. ”

In these years, cooking skills are the same as welders and electricians, which is a skill that can be used as a rice bowl, and it is not passed on.

While chattering, Lu Fengxia pulled Zhou Huilan out, talking about the strange neighbors on the street, and she had to leave Zhou Huilan to eat with Lu's house.

couldn't refuse, and thought about discussing a few more ways with Lu Changqing, so Zhou Huilan agreed.

Lu Fengxia went to invite the old man, Zhou Huilan served dinner here, and as soon as the bowl was set, the old man Lu came over.

"That old woman, it's really rare to be able to call you to my house!" As soon as Old Man Lu appeared, his mouth became mean.

Zhou Huilan hadn't moved yet, and Lu Changqing said first: "Grandpa, taste this winter melon cup, it smells so good." ”

Old Man Lu glanced at the winter melon soup, with an expression that was not good, looked up at Zhou Huilan, but suddenly stood up, "Wait a minute!" ”

Zhou Huilan just scooped a spoonful of soup, and the old man's sentence frightened her soup spoon directly into the bowl, and the winter melon soup splashed all over her hand, and before she could retract her hand, a handkerchief was already covered on the back of her hand.

It is Lu Changqing's handkerchief.

The soup was brought over from Duan's house, it was no longer very hot, and his hands were just hot and spicy, and there were no blisters.

Lu Changqing pulled Zhou Huilan and was about to flush the water, but Old Man Lu was on crutches and reached out and grabbed Zhou Huilan's wrist.

"How can this bracelet be in your hand!?"

"Grandpa, you hurt her!" Lu Changqing pulled the old man's hand away.

Zhou Huilan was also very strange, what happened to the old man, "This was given to me by Mother-in-law Duan." ”

But the old man didn't move, and it wasn't until Lu Changqing shouted at him a few times in a row that the old man suddenly came back to his senses, muttering to himself as if he was stunned, "The foundation of the Xu family for hundreds of years, the foundation of hundreds of years, ......."

Instead of sitting down again, he pushed the door open and left.

Lu Fengxia hurriedly followed, Zhou Huilan couldn't help but be a little worried, but Lu Changqing pulled her to the kitchen, turned on the faucet and rushed up, seeing that Zhou Huilan was absent-minded, she explained: "Grandpa is always a little stunned when he meets Granny Xu, it's okay." ”

"Granny Xu?" Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered that at the beginning, Granny Duan said that her mother-in-law's surname is Duan and her mother's surname is Xu, so what Old Man Lu said just now is the foundation of the Xu family for hundreds of years, is it related to the bracelet that her mother-in-law gave her?

"Yes, my mother-in-law's surname is Xu."

After flushing his hands, Lu Changqing returned to the table, holding the bowl of winter melon soup and taking a big sip, only to feel that his stomach was warm all of a sudden, and the fragrance of winter melon permeated his lips and teeth, and there was no miscellaneous taste at all.

"Doctor Lu, how is this soup?" Zhou Huilan also sat down.

Lu Changqing nodded, "It's delicious." ”

"Doctor Lu doesn't want to give me a few more recipes, I'll go back and try it, and I can send it to you to eat when it's done!"

"Okay, I'll write it to you in a moment."

Coming out of the Lu family, Zhou Huilan had three more recipes in her hand, Lu Changqing wrote all in Chinese, and the name was also awkward, she reduced it according to the raw materials, which were spinach porridge, white fungus wolfberry soup and three kinds of mushroom soup, the materials are not complicated, but the method is mainly steamed and stewed, which is indeed much healthier.
