Chapter 16: Conversations in the Kitchen
Xue Tong smiled even brighter, and arranged the hair on his forehead with his hand and tucked it behind his ear.
She said, "Since you don't know what to say to thank me, don't say anything." You have helped me so much, how can I repay your brothers and sisters for their kindness to me by doing this little thing? So, I think, in the future, we should not say any more words of thanks. ”
Yan Rin nodded, agreeing with Xue Tong's words.
"Yes, Miss Xue is right. By the way, is there anything else I can help with? Whatever you need me to do, just ask, and I'll help. ”
Xue Tong thought about it, but in fact, there was nothing special that needed help.
"You don't need your help with anything, you can help me light the fire. When I finished stewing chicken soup, I sent it to Sister Yanyun. ”
A small tandoor was built next to it, and a casserole was placed on top of it.
Xue Tong threw the blanched chicken pieces into the casserole, and then added wolfberry, red dates, longan, angelica, codonopsis and other things.
Cover and simmer over low heat.
Tongtong squatted by the clay stove, holding a puff fan in his hand and shaking it gently.
In less than half an hour, there was a pungent fragrance that spread out of the casserole.
And the dishes cooked on the stove were also ready, Xue Tong picked a chicken wing and handed it to Yan Rin.
"Brother Yan, you can taste it and see how it tastes."
I don't know why, looking at the slender and beautiful little hands in front of her, Yan Rin unconsciously began to burn at the root of her ears.
He quickly untied the wing, and then quickly threw it into his mouth.
Without even tasting the taste carefully, he had already swallowed the dates, and generally swallowed a piece of meat that he had bitten off into his stomach.
Xue Tong stood to the side and said as if with some kind of expectation: "Brother Yan, how is it?" How does it taste this time? I went to buy a little fresh ingredients today, made a little adjustment, I wonder if the taste has improved? ”
Yan Rin swallowed it so fast that he didn't have time to taste it, what was the taste of the chicken wings? Is there any difference in taste from the previous dishes?
However, when he heard Xue Tong's question, he couldn't bear to say something that made her unhappy.
He just kept nodding his head: "It's delicious, it's good, it seems to be more fragrant than the previous times...... Miss Xue, your craftsmanship is really amazing, even compared to those imperial chefs in the palace, it is even better. ”
Xue Tong burst out laughing: "Brother Yan, are you so boastful?" If I could compare to the imperial chef in that palace, wouldn't I even wake up laughing from a dream? ”
Xue Tong thought that many of the dishes she would cook were modern and novel dishes, which ancient people might not have seen. If you really go to the palace to be a cook, maybe you will really win the love of those emperors and nobles.
In the next second bite, Yan Rin ate carefully and tasted carefully, for fear of letting go of every detail.
After eating a chicken wing, even the bones in the hands are reluctant to throw away, and it seems that even the bones exude bursts of fragrance.
He couldn't help but speak again: "This is really delicious, so delicious." I have lived so much, and since I met Miss Xue, I have known that there are so many delicious foods in this world. No matter what kind of thing it is, in Miss Xue's hands, it can be turned into a peerless delicacy. ”
Looking at Yan Rin's reaction, Xue Tong was particularly happy.
It seems that this improvement is still very good. When you have enough money to buy some good spices, maybe the taste will be better and it will attract more people.
The chicken soup stewed in the casserole also exudes a burst of fragrance.
Xue Tong wrapped the lid of the casserole with a towel and took a look.
The steaming mist immediately rises into the air, accompanied by a strong fragrance that burrows into the nasal cavities.
Xue Tong glanced into the pot, and the chicken soup was already boiling white. All the flavors and nutrients have come out, and every drop of the soup is full of deliciousness.
Yan Rin couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant......"
"Incense, huh? Sister Yan Yun will definitely like it, although she can't make chicken soup for Sister Yan Yun every day, but it's okay to drink it once in a while. By the way, I heard that the students who went to Beijing to catch the exam are also coming back soon. Is my brother-in-law coming back soon? Maybe you will be able to catch the day of the birth of your child. ”
Yan Rin thought about it for a while, the day her brother-in-law came back and the day the child was born seemed to be a few days apart.
In the past few days, my sister has been talking about this matter every day.
"yes, it looks like I'm coming back. At the beginning, my brother-in-law was reluctant to go to Beijing to catch the exam, saying that he was afraid of missing the day when the child was born. My sister said that the day my brother-in-law came back was almost the same as the day the child was born, and maybe I could catch up with the day the child was born, so my brother-in-law went to Beijing to take the exam with peace of mind. ”
"It turns out that this is the way it looks, my sister really understands the righteousness. The birth of a child is the most important thing in life, if you miss it, you may regret it for a lifetime, and it is reasonable that my brother-in-law is unwilling to take the exam. ”
The two of them were chatting while preparing tomorrow's things and today's dinner. This atmosphere is also very harmonious, and it really looks like a young couple living a life.
Yan Yun originally planned to go to the kitchen to help, but when she walked to the door behind the kitchen, she heard the sound of two people talking in the house, and stopped again.
She stood in the doorway and listened for a long time, only to hear the soft laughter coming from inside the room.
The corners of her mouth also rose a certain amplitude unconsciously, it seems that there is definitely an ironclad drama between these two people, and I don't know when these two people will be willing to pierce the last layer of window paper?
However, she should have prepared early. Getting married is not a trivial matter, and you must prepare well.
Besides, Xue Tong is a good girl, and she must have a perfect wedding to be worthy of it.
She remembered that when she first married her father-in-law, because of economic constraints, she could only keep everything simple. Now that I think about it, although I don't have any regrets, I still feel that there are some shortcomings.
After listening for a long time, she turned away without disturbing the two who were talking with great interest.
As soon as I walked to the front yard, I met Xue's mother, and Xue's mother was also about to go in the direction of the kitchen.
When he saw Yan Yun, he stopped: "Yun'er, are you from the kitchen?" They smelled the fragrance from afar, what were they busy doing in the kitchen? I was going to help, but I don't know if there's anything I can do to help. ”
Yan Yun pursed her lips and chuckled: "Aunt, don't worry, with my brother's help over there, it will definitely be fine." It's better for you to just sit and rest than anything else. ”
Xue Mu also seemed to hear the other meaning of the words, and nodded.
