Chapter 142: Cooking
Qingming Festival is also a traditional major spring festival, they will sweep the tomb in the afternoon, after three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be scattered firecrackers outside.
Xiao Jianjun also hurried back from the provincial capital.
The four families first went to worship the grandfather's generation, and then went to worship Xiao Hong's grandparents before going down the mountain.
In the countryside, I like to have sons, just to not be afraid of being bullied, Now that so many people are walking together, it seems more and more powerful and prosperous.
But if a daughter is born, it is the man's ancestors who worship after marriage.
Xiao Hong looked back at the grave hidden by the pine trees, and said silently in her heart: Grandma, granddaughter will never forget you, and I will come to see you in a few months.
When she got home, Liu Meijuan was ready to start cooking dinner.
Usually Lou Xiangfang is at home, and she will help her wash vegetables and light the fire, but now she has not seen anyone since she came back.
Although Liu Meijuan didn't know which tendon was wrong with her daughter, she lost her temper at herself.
Anyway, her man and eldest brother are not there, and she doesn't bother to pretend to be virtuous.
But she didn't want the two outsiders of the Xiao family sisters to watch the excitement, so she pretended to speak: "On weekdays, when Fragrance comes home, she cooks for us, and in the morning she helps me collect money and find money, but she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to write homework, which of you will help me make a fire?" ”
Xiao Hong agreed, and said very considerately: "Auntie, you have worked hard, go and rest?" Just leave dinner to Xiao Fang and me. ”
She wanted to let herself work, Xiao Hong felt that she could let her see her idle eating melon seeds in the future, and she would not let her work again.
It's a pity that Liu Meijuan didn't expect Xiao Hong to have any ideas, so she was happy to let them cook: "I deliberately left some pig's head meat back today, wait for it to be cut and put on a plate, then cut a small half of the meat and cook it with tofu, and fry another plate of potatoes and a plate of green vegetables." ”
In fact, the pig's head meat was not sold out yesterday, and it continues to be sold today, and the remaining pound is only taken back for his own consumption.
If it was just their family, she would have generously taken some bacon out to steam rice today, but now that the Xiao family sisters are here, she will not be happy.
Anyway, there is meat, even if Xiao Jianhua and his brother are there, they can't say that they are stingy when they see it.
Fortunately, Xiao Jianjun was here, otherwise Liu Meijuan would not even be willing to take out the pig's head meat for them to eat.
Xiao Hong responded, but she didn't plan to do what she said.
She first poured vegetable oil to fry the tofu, then cut the pig's head meat, tasted a piece by the way, and stuffed it into the fire for her sister to eat a piece.
After Xiao Fang swallowed it, she also muttered to her: "It's really not as fragrant as our family." ”
"That is, there are several less spices, and the taste must be different." Xiao Hong asked her to pour herself a cup of tea: "Put too much salt, wait for me to boil some sugar and fry it again, you help me peel the potatoes, and fry the potatoes later." ”
On the other side, Liu Meijuan took all the hot and boiling water to the toilet, took a comfortable shower, and then soaked her clothes in laundry detergent, wondering if she could wait for them to get an inch in and let them wash their clothes.
Xiao Jianhua is like a big man, he never helps in the kitchen, and this time Xiao Jianjun borrowed the van and drove it back, so he parked outside the yard, and he also went to see it fresh.
Xiao Yuhang is not interested in the car now, he was watching TV in the living room, but then he smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and his legs walked over uncontrollably.
Xiao Hong just took out the fried potato sticks, and when she saw him, she ordered: "Go and call the uncle and they will come back for dinner." ”
Xiao Yuhang rolled his eyes: "Hmph, I'm not going, you go and shout yourself." ”
Xiao Hong paused the fried potato strips from in front of him: "If you don't shout, I'll send this plate to Xiao Feng to eat." ”
Xiao Yuhang's temperament of protecting food, how could he withstand this threat, so he could only turn around unwillingly: "Can't I go and shout?" ”
In fact, when he ran out of the yard, he saw his father, uncle and two cousins smoking and chatting by the side of the van, and he was glad that he didn't have to go all over the village to find someone: "Dad, hurry back to dinner, eldest sister has made a lot of delicious food." ”
Xiao Jianhua loves face, and he was very happy when he heard this, and warmly beckoned his cousins to eat together.
Of course people won't agree, on a day like today, who will have no meat?
They all said that the family should be ready to cook, so they all left.
Xiao Jianhua and his brother came to the kitchen and saw five dishes on a table, but there were two plates of potato strips, two plates of green vegetables, and only one plate of pig's head meat was considered a meat dish, so he was a little unhappy: "When your uncle comes back, he doesn't make it rich, why don't you steam bacon?" ”
Xiao Hong thought to herself, there is not even a shadow of bacon in the kitchen, I am a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice.
But in front of her uncle, she said this as if she was suing Liu Meijuan, so she smiled and said: "There is also a plate of braised pork, as well as the fried chicken left over from before, and the fried tofu stew that was not served?" ”
She won't listen to Liu Meijuan, only cut a small half of the meat?
There are only about three catties of meat in total, half of which is made into braised pork, and half is stewed with fried tofu, so it is refreshing to eat.
Anyway, they'll be gone tomorrow, so why do they have to leave half of the meat behind?
When she brought all the dishes, Liu Meijuan came in, and saw that the dishes on the table were all oily, but she was distressed, and it was too late to regret it, why did she forget that she was a loose hand?
But in front of Xiao Jianjun, she couldn't say anything, she could only ask: "Did you use all the oil that you fried chicken?" ”
After Xiao Hong finished eating a piece of braised pork, she looked at her with an embarrassed expression: "I forgot that there is still oil left, but it doesn't matter, the oil won't be bad if you put it away, you can continue to use it for stir-frying tomorrow." ”
In fact, the oil after frying the chicken will have residue and taste if it is not processed.
She didn't want to let the oil slow down her cooking skills?
Xiao Jianhua didn't care about that, he was very satisfied with his daughter's cooking skills, and praised her: "Your pig's head meat is fragrant." ”
Xiao Hong smiled very obediently: "I boiled the sugar and stir-fried, and added garlic leaves, which is more fragrant and not so salty." ”
Xiao Jianjun likes fried tofu very much: "This tofu is fried well, has a meaty taste, and is a little spicy, and it tastes very fragrant." ”
Xiao Fang smiled even happier when she heard this: "Then uncle, you want to eat more!" Uncle, you can taste the braised pork I roasted again. ”
Xiao Jianjun smiled and nodded: "I borrowed someone else's car, and I'm going to leave tomorrow morning, why don't I send you back first?" ”
Xiao Hong's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's great, thank you, uncle." ”
The bus often stops on the road and does not say anything, there may be no seats, some people will carry chickens and ducks, and some people smell of sweat.
But she was a little motion sick, and it was really painful.
If the uncle is willing to send them, it will be great.
