Chapter 108: Heirloom Recipes
Rose Pig's Trotter was successfully promoted, Zhou Huilan's life was filled with warmth and work, the weather gradually cooled down, and the originally transparent courtyard was obviously frozen in the morning and evening.
Lu Changqing mentioned it a few times, and wanted to ask Zhou Huilan to move over to live with him, but Zhou Huilan didn't agree.
On the one hand, she wanted to keep some distance, and on the other hand, she couldn't bear to leave her mother-in-law alone.
Since you want to live, you have to improve the living environment, Zhou Huilan first bought two electric blankets, and the problem of sleeping is best solved, but it is impossible for this person to go to bed as soon as he enters the house.
Thinking about it, she thought about installing a water stove in the house.
In her previous life, she had seen other people's homes decorate, a coal stove connected to a radiator filled with water, circulating heating, to ensure that the house was as if it was heated.
Zhou Huilan told Granny Duan about this idea, but the old lady did not object.
"But if you pretend to be this, it will cost a lot of money, right?"
"Mother-in-law, I have money, as long as you don't kick me out, I will definitely make you comfortable."
said so, but Zhou Huilan was busy with the hotel's affairs and couldn't always take care of the renovation project at home, so this important task was naturally given to Lu Changqing.
Everything is moving forward steadily, and Zhou Huilan has never been so confident as she is now.
It's just that at noon that day, Zhou Zhenhai found a hotel, and when he was on the door, he blocked the gate and noisily told Zhou Huilan to go out.
In the past few days, Zhao Hongying has not moved, and Zhou Huilan thought that they had already got Wang Jianye out of the detention center, but she didn't expect them to hold back and ask around about their whereabouts.
"Old comrade, you can't block here, we still have to do business!"
When Zhou Huilan came out, the foreman was persuading Zhou Zhenhai, but he blocked the door as if he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he had a posture of not giving up until he reached his goal.
Zhao Hongying didn't come, and only Hu Manxiang followed him.
Zhou Huilan subconsciously thought of Niu Xiaorui, and glanced at the lively waiter, but she didn't see her shadow.
"If you deliberately make trouble in public, I can call the police to arrest you!"
Hearing Zhou Huilan's voice, Zhou Zhenhai suddenly became more imposing, "I'm your old man!" If you are disobedient and undisciplined, even if the king of heaven comes, no one dares to say that I am not! ”
He made up his mind to play a scoundrel to force Zhou Huilan to comply.
Although she told herself countless times that she didn't need to care, she was forced by Zhou Zhenhai like this, Zhou Huilan still couldn't control herself from not caring, "Your old man's reputation that he has gained all his life is now for such a bastard?" ”
Zhou Zhenhai thought that his method had worked, and raised his chin, "You hurry up and get Jianye out for me, and we will slowly calculate the other accounts in the future!" ”
Zhou Huilan sneered and untied the apron and sleeves on her body, and put them on the table next to her, "Then you can sit here and be a monkey by yourself, if you have the ability, you will always sit here, I don't have the time to act here with you!" ”
didn't give Zhou Zhenhai time to react at all, Zhou Huilan raised her feet and walked out of Donghua Restaurant.
However, this time, Zhou Zhenhai made it clear that he wanted to spend it with her to the end, and he didn't want any face at all.
Zhou Zhenhai was so noisy, Zhou Huilan couldn't go to the hotel, and after tossing for three or four days, Su Xiaoliang came to the house to find her.
"Master, Niu Ji seems to be learning our dishes over there."
The change was noticed by Zhang Yongqiang, and the recipe was also brought from Niu Ji by him.
Su Xiaoliang pointed out to Zhou Huilan the same thing, her last week's medicinal meals: honey milk pigeon, baked yam, Sishen pork rib soup, Niu Ji's menu is not bad, but what shocked Zhou Huilan the most was the name of a dish mixed in the middle of those home-cooked stir-fries-Qianfanduan.
The name of this dish is a dish recorded in the Xu family's cuisine in the silver bracelet given by her mother-in-law.
The name sounds extraordinary, but it is actually a bowl of steamed eggs, but it is recorded in the recipe that this egg must be beaten and stirred a thousand times with a bamboo chopstick, and the foam can be skimmed before it can be steamed in the pot, so it has such a name, and there may also be the high-end level of the original imperial meal.
But Zhou Huilan felt that this name was too exaggerated and was not used in the recipe of Donghua Restaurant, but on Master Niu's side, this dish was as she thought...... Will it be the same?
Su Xiaoliang was chattering over there, and Zhou Huilan didn't listen to it, Zhang Yongqiang meant to let her take advantage of the fact that she couldn't go to the back kitchen recently, and then think about a few more medicinal recipes to come out and press down Niu Ji.
Zhou Huilan absentmindedly sent Su Xiaoliang away, and seeing that it was not early, she went directly to the opposite door to find Lu Changqing.
"You go to Niu Ji, order three home-cooked dishes at random, and pack them back with this thousand sails."
Niu Ji's side, many people brought by Niu Guangde from the state-run hotel all know Zhou Huilan, although Niu Ji and Donghua have no competition at the moment, but Zhou Huilan is indeed not suitable to go directly to other people's restaurants to eat.
If you really want to be caught and make a fuss, it will be the face of Donghua Restaurant.
Lu Changqing didn't ask much, nodded and went.
Zhou Huilan sat at Lu's house and waited for him, and waited for an hour before Lu Changqing came back with a bunch of plastic bags.
"People don't want to pack it, so I said that I added some money, but when I put this dish in a plastic bag, it all changed......" Lu Changqing explained while separating the plastic bag and putting it in the big bowl that Zhou Huilan had placed.
Hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried meat with chili, fish-flavored eggplant......
When Zhou Huilan opened the last bag, she looked at the tattered and unformed tender yellow pieces inside, and staggered back directly.
This dish ...... This dish is really the same as what is written in "Xu Family Recipe"!
It is absolutely impossible to have such a name in the cultural background of this year, so Niu Guangde, where did he learn the Xu family cuisine?
Zhou Huilan sat at the table, absentmindedly took two bites, and then found an excuse to run home.
Granny Duan was sitting next to the water stove, pinching a few pieces of flower cloth in her hand, the last time Yaoyao praised the embroidery on her pillow for being good-looking, the old lady became interested, and asked Zhou Huilan to buy her some silk threads, and pondered the embroidery needle.
Zhou Huilan came back suddenly, her mother-in-law didn't think much about it, only glanced up, and continued to fiddle with the embroidery in her hand.
Looking at the old lady's calm appearance, Zhou Huilan took a few deep breaths and suppressed the waves in her heart before sitting down, "Mother-in-law, you originally said that you are the only daughter of the Xu family, and your father has no son, so the "Xu Family Recipes" he left behind, in addition to the one in the silver bracelet, there must be a paper one, right, that ...... Did his old man take in other disciples? ”
