317 To Stay or Not to Eat?
The second day before dawn when I got up early, I heard the sound of Qu Laohan getting up, Ling Xiaorou turned over and went to sleep, Qu Laohan cleaned up neatly, and came to knock on Ling Xiaorou's door before going out, "Rou'er, cook a meal for Dad when you leave, and Dad will come back to eat when he wades through the water"
Ling Xiaorou answered in a daze, and fell asleep again after hearing the door, I don't know how long she slept, when she opened her eyes and saw the bright sky outside, she suddenly remembered that Qu Laohan asked her to make breakfast, thinking that there was only half a piece of salted meat and eggs left at home, so she couldn't always eat that.

Get up, freshen up, take the basket and go out to buy vegetables, the early vegetables are fresh, after the city gate is opened, many farmers from outside the city will bring their own vegetables into the city to sell.
Ling Xiaorou picked and chosen, and it didn't take long for her to buy a basket of cucumbers, cabbage, radishes, etc., and she would go to the shop later, she didn't have time to cook too many dishes, and breakfast was simple, and it was not suitable for things that were too greasy.
On the way home, I saw that the meat in front of the butcher shop was good, and I bought another pork belly, and when I walked to the front of the house with a vegetable basket, I happened to meet many neighbors, and they greeted Ling Xiaorou warmly.
Because of the shadow left by Mo Hongjin's incident before, Ling Xiaorou also had a little headache for girls, and she was a little less enthusiastic about greetings, but she was shy when she saw the big girl, and she was teased.
Although it has not been long since she moved here, Ling Xiaorou is also familiar with these neighbors, after all, they live in old neighborhoods, and it is also curious to suddenly move in a father and son, and although the father of this family is a water seller, everyone can see that he sells water well, and he should be a person who can make money.
The son is even more handsome, and soon after moving in, the big girl's family in the neighborhood always goes around in front of the door, and no one can see the reason is that the national customs of Dayan are not so conservative, and they still report kindness to these girls, and they are waiting to see which girl the son of this family will meet in the end.
Especially when I heard that the son of this family is still a cook, he cooks well, and he also finds a livelihood in the city, which makes the girls blush and heartbeat.
Although the cook is not the work of the ancestors, he is also a craftsman, and the salary is still a lot, if he marries a cook, he will not be too poor and destitute.
Ling Xiaorou greeted these aunts and aunts, deliberately ignoring the big girls who greeted her like the aunts, she was a little surprised by the inexplicable enthusiasm of these women, yesterday it seemed that he was an old man who was raised by the elderly, even if he knew that she was a cook, he was not so enthusiastic.
Ling Xiaorou was puzzled and carried the vegetable basket home, and saw several aunts and aunts following behind her, but fortunately, those girls' families were shy and did not follow, and one of them asked enthusiastically: "Aze, are you going to make breakfast?"
Ling Xiaorou smiled a little stiffly, "Yes, my father went to sell water, and he will come back for dinner later, is there anything wrong with Aunt He?"
is called Aunt He is the next-door neighbor, that is, the one who opened her mouth to teach Ling Xiaorou a lesson yesterday, seeing that Ling Xiaorou smiled uncomfortably, she didn't remember her words yesterday, thinking of the niece who came to sit at home yesterday and begged her to do what she did, Aunt He had a flower on her face, "It's okay, it's okay, my aunt is at home all day, what's the matter, it's not to see that you have to go to work later, I'm afraid that when you cook alone and delay, my aunt wants to come over and help you help." ”
As he spoke, he said hello to the old sisters, and squeezed into the house from Ling Xiaorou's side amid the coaxing of others.
When everyone entered the house, Ling Xiaorou was not easy to rush out, and besides, they were all neighbors, so it was not easy to offend, so Aunt He took the vegetable basket in her hand and started to choose the vegetables.
Ling Xiaorou looked at Aunt He's familiarity at home, presumably Aunt He often came to sit before the master moved away.
Since Aunt He was choosing vegetables on the side, Ling Xiaorou lit a fire, first put the rice in the pot to make porridge, and Ling Xiaorou made some oil and salt rolls while cooking the porridge.
Aunt He chose the dishes and followed Ling Xiaorou to watch her work, not to mention that the young man's family was quite quick to do these things on the stove, but he didn't know how to eat the things he made.
Ling Xiaorou put the finished oil and salt rolls on the saddle, put them on the porridge pot and steamed them, and when the oil and salt rolls were steamed, the porridge was almost edible, because the staple food was oil and salt rolls, and the porridge was very good, and there would not be many rice grains in a bowl, in order to drink rice soup.
Aunt He smacked her mouth on the side, the steamed buns she usually eats do not put oil, salt or green onions, the important thing is that they are all noodles, like this kind of things made without noodles must not be like gnocchi, don't be blind to the oil, salt and green onions inside.
But when she thought that Ling Xiaorou was a cook, she must know more than her, so she tried her best to steal the master.
Although Ling Xiaorou knew that Aunt He was watching the movements of her hands, she didn't feel at ease, there was nothing difficult for her to do, and she didn't expect to make money.
Here the oil and salt are rolled on the porridge and steamed, Ling Xiaorou sliced the cucumber, added a little salt and vinegar to scratch it, marinated the excess water, and then with sesame oil and sugar, the simple and appetizing sweet and sour cucumber is ready, and then sprinkled with a few white sesame seeds, refreshing and appetizing.
For more than a quarter of an hour, Ling Xiaorou uncovered the pot, took down the oil and salt rolls, and then put out the porridge, boiled water in the pot, poured the spinach selected by Aunt He into it, blanched it slightly, and then took it out, and after passing the cold water, cut it into spinach segments and make it into garlic spinach.
Aunt He frowned when she watched from the side, although most people's breakfast is very simple, but this is too simple, not even a meat star, I thought that this father sells water to make money, and his son is a cook, and the food must be more exquisite than others' food, but after really seeing it, it is not much different from his own family, but the things made by others look very good, and they smell very greedy.
She saw a piece of pork in the basket before, wasn't it used to eat, she also wanted to try the cooking skills of the Qu family's son, although these things looked very good, but they were too plain.
Just thinking about it, Ling Xiaorou went to the basket to take out the meat, put a piece of star anise, a few peppercorns, a small piece of cinnamon, two bay leaves, and a few green onions and ginger in the pot, and skimmed off the foam after the pot boiled.
Because the meat that Ling Xiaorou bought was not big, it didn't need to be boiled for too long, and it was almost cooked after slowly boiling it for two quarters of an hour on low heat, and the meat was put in the pot and simmered without blood foaming coming out with chopsticks.
Ling Xiaorou pounded a head of garlic paste when she was cooking the meat, mixed it with the spicy soy sauce boiled with chili pepper and soy sauce a few days ago, and later took out the meat and cut it into thin slices, and it was very delicious with spicy soy sauce.
Aunt He finally looks like it, but this meat has been boiled for so long, and she looks at whether it can be delicious if it is not prickly
But Ling Xiaorou used the knife to do everything, and the fragrance of the meat came out, and then rolled it up one by one and put it on the plate, like a big flower in full bloom, which was indescribably beautiful.
The white meat rolls are then spooned with red and black chili oil mixed with garlic, the garlic is fragrant, why do you want to eat a bite so much
The thought of wanting to eat came out of my mind, and I didn't hold back and reached out and pinched a piece of white meat and put it in my mouth, tender but not firewood, fat but not greasy, with garlic spicy soy sauce, it is simply a delicacy in deliciousness, I have eaten meat for a lifetime, although I eat it once or twice a month, but which time it is not thinly cut and fried in the pot to fry, or fried out of fat oil residue, where have I eaten this kind of seemingly simple cooking, but once tasted it can hook out the big meat slices of human gluttony
It's just to get rid of the cheeks and eat it during the New Year, because of poor cooking skills, the meat is not so refreshing and delicious.
This time, Aunt He is even more energetic to marry her niece into the Qu family, so she rushes to the miraculous cooking skills of the son of the Qu family, and when the niece marries in, her family can also borrow light, and she will be satisfied with the frequent tooth sacrifices.
Ling Xiaorou didn't know what Aunt He was thinking, she never thought that Aunt He would directly get started and take a piece of the meat roll flower she posed, the meat roll flower that was originally quite exquisite became imperfect because of the lack of a piece, Ling Xiaorou frowned and moved a piece from the side, and moved the missing piece of meat roll next to it, so that the lack was not so obvious.
When Aunt He woke up from the shock of the garlic and white meat, what she saw was the disbelief in Ling Xiaorou's eyes, thinking that she couldn't help pinching a piece of meat to eat, her face was a little unbearable, "Hehe, Aze, your cooking skills are so good, my aunt and aunt couldn't help it." ”
Ling Xiaorou naturally wouldn't accuse her of being unreasonable, from the moment she took the initiative to help herself choose vegetables, Ling Xiaorou felt that she had a purpose, could it be that her purpose was to stay and mix rice
Although she herself is a girl's family, she doesn't care if Aunt He stays, but others don't know, maybe she is young, and Aunt He will not be criticized if she stays, but Qu Laohan is still there, with the age of Qu Laohan and Aunt He, that is, the atmosphere of Dayan Country is not so conservative, and this man and woman eating together will inevitably make people gossip.
Although there are no big evils in the neighborhood, there are more people who are idle and have nothing to chew on the root of their tongues, and she doesn't want to go out and be pointed at.
I had the intention to pretend not to hear Aunt He's praise for her plate of garlic white meat, but seeing Aunt He's eyes that were almost falling into the garlic white meat, Ling Xiaorou simply turned her back, Qu Laohan was almost going back, and the person he provoked back still made him decide to stay or not.
didn't wait long, Qu Laohan came back with a carriage, but in the middle of the day, Qu Laohan had already sold out a cart of water, and he had to go out of the city for two more trips after eating, and then it was lunch.
As soon as I entered the door, I was stunned when I saw Aunt He standing at the door, then I smelled the garlic fragrance all over the room, and then I saw the white meat on the table, and my saliva flowed out.
I haven't eaten much meat for a few days, and Qu Laohan didn't have much of the heart to be polite to Aunt He, so he just smiled and said, "He, Aunt He came and used breakfast and didn't use it here." ”
Qu Laohan never thought that someone would have the cheekiness to fight with him, but he saw Aunt He's eyes light up when she heard Qu Laohan's words, and said, "What's good, what's good?"
But the movement was not slow, and he pulled out a chair and sat in.
