After loading the plate, I saw Lu Mu watching herself cut fish fillets in a daze, looking like she had nothing to do after her work was robbed.

Seeing this, Xu Lan smiled and said to her:

"Mom, why don't you go wash the vegetables first, just clean all the vegetables we bought back today, and then put them on a plate."

After hearing this, Lu's mother hurriedly nodded in agreement, and walked under the faucet with the bag of vegetables to start washing the vegetables.

Stir-fried vegetables and stews were omitted, and the cooking steps became a lot easier, and Lu Mu and Xu Mo finished processing all the ingredients in a short time.

Thinking that the ingredients were not rich enough, Xu Lan took advantage of Lu Mu and Lu Nanzhou's inattention, quietly returned to the room, and took out the hot pot base from the space, as well as lotus root slices, beef balls and so on.

Lu Mu felt a little strange when she saw it, and looked at it repeatedly with a crab stick in her hand, and asked Xu Mu from time to time:

"What's this crab stick?"

"Is it really made from crab meat? How many crabs does this thing have to waste to make one? ”

"Where you bought this, I haven't even seen it."

Seeing this, Xu Mu was not only a little weak-hearted, but looked at Lu Nanzhou, saw that his expression was flat, as if he was not curious at all, and said to Lu Mu:

"I bought this crab stick from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city, and these ingredients are also available."

"Look at my memory, I forgot to take it out, if I hadn't planned to eat hot pot today, I would have forgotten these things in my mind."

As for the question of whether the crab meat stick is made of crab meat, Xu Lan chose not to answer.

After all, this crab stick comes from the 21st century, which is a combination of various additives and flavorings, and she really can't tell how much meat is in this thing.

After all, this thing may not even be considered meat, and nine times out of ten it is a soy product at best.

With such a clear conscience, she couldn't say it.

Fortunately, Lu's mother was easy to deceive, and Xu Mo fooled her in just a few words.

There is no gas in his hometown, and there is not even a gas canister, which makes Xu Lan a little difficult.

After all, this hot pot. It is to cook and eat at the same time to be happy.

But at the moment, it is clear that there is no such condition.

Xu Lan himself has been following the saying of creating conditions if there are no conditions for so many years.

Having the whole family eat around the stove is obviously not going to work.

She looked around and saw the large old-fashioned enamel iron plate under the table, the plate was square, the bottom was super deep, and there was room for a lot of things.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

Pregnant!

Then eat shabu shabu, anyway, in Xu Lan's opinion, the principle is similar.

Probably the only difference is that there is an extra bamboo skewer.

But what about bamboo sticks? Not here.

As a well-known food blogger in the 21st century, it is not very easy to solve this small difficulty.

Xu Lan ran to the space again, and carried a bag of bamboo sticks out of it, and when he looked at Shanglu's mother inquiringly, Xu Lan had learned to lie without blushing and heartbeat:

"The supply and marketing cooperatives bought it."

"Oh."

Lu Mu was convinced of this, but Lu Nanzhou at this time, when she looked at Xu Lan, there was a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

Not for anything else, it's true because Xu Lan's behavior is really weird.

Xu Lan first took out the large iron plate under the table and put it under the faucet to clean it.

Then he added half a pot of water to the pot and motioned for Lu Nanzhou to start the fire.

The pot of the earthen stove is much thicker than the normal pot, and it is not easy to make a fire, so it heats up very slowly.

After the water boiled, Xu Lan threw the bamboo skewers into the pot and boiled for a few seconds, and then used a colander to take out the bamboo skewers and let them cool.

Then Xu Lan pulled Lu Nanzhou and Lu Mu and began to thread vegetables on the bamboo skewers.

Lu Mu and Lu Nanzhou painted a scoop according to the gourd, and met Lu Mu's puzzled eyes while wearing Xu Mu.

I heard her ask:

"Baby, I'm a little confused."

"Didn't we say what kind of fish pot we want to eat? Why are you still wearing bamboo skewers now? ”

Although Lu Mu was puzzled, her hands kept moving, the efficiency was fast, and the dishes she wore were plate after plate.

Seeing this, Xu Lan explained to her:

"I was going to eat a fish pot, but we don't have a suitable pot at home, so we can't sit by the stove and eat."

"I thought it would be better to make shabu-shabu directly, and it would be convenient to eat it when it is cooked."

After wearing the skewers, Xu Lan began to fry the hot pot base.

It's not so much a fried hot pot base as it is a secondary process.

The hot pot base is all ready-made base that Xu Lan took from the space, and she can pour it directly into the pot and fry it, which saves her a lot of time.

Seeing that the hot pot base was stir-fried, Xu Lan directly poured most of the water into the pot, then covered the pot and waited for the water to boil and skewers.

Because of the processing of ingredients and the temporary change of mind, it took a lot of time.

Lu's mother returned to the house to see the time, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

If nothing else, the other two brothers of the Lu family will be back soon.

Seeing this, Xu Lan turned out the gifts for the two younger brothers of the Lu family from the bag that he brought gifts to the Lu family when he returned to his hometown that day.

They are all daily necessities and school supplies, which are decent and make it impossible to find faults.

Even the warm line clothes are the most acceptable gray and dark blue.

Seeing Xu Mu's appearance, Lu Mu sneered:

"Look at your appearance, I don't know, I think it's entertaining some kind of royal relatives."

"The second and third children have the best time with you when you are at home on weekdays. If they see the gift you bring them, I'm afraid they will have a smile on their faces. ”

Xu Lan held the things, his face was very weak, and after hearing Lu Mu's words, his face became even more nervous.

After all, she is not the original owner, and in her memory at this time, the two younger brothers of the Lu family are completely like strangers.

It is said that she can't hide anything from familiar people, and when the time comes, she will do something to show her feet and be discovered, so what can I do?

Xu Lan decided, after meeting the two younger brothers of the Lu family for a while, if he can not speak, then he will not speak, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal if someone finds out the clues.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Lan's shabu-shabu skewers had already been cooked, and the voices of the second and third elders of the Lu family came from the door.

"Mom, Dad, we're back!"

Since Xu Lan and Lu Nanzhou decided to come back temporarily, the two brothers of the Lu family did not know that they were living in the school, and when they saw Lu Nanzhou at this time, they inevitably had this surprise in their tone:

"Brother, sister-in-law?"

"When did you come back?"

The second child of the Lu family has already gone to high school, so he speaks and acts more steadily, just asked in surprise, but the joy and worship in his eyes have not diminished at all.
