Wanghai County, Changping Village, Lao Wang’s house.

Although Mrs. Liu kept saying that she would reserve her stomach for the noon meal, in fact, neither she nor the others in her party had high expectations for the noon lunch at Lao Wang's house.

why?

Because in the past when Yang Huamei was the head of the family, whenever they came back to Lao Wang's house to visit relatives, they didn't want to stay here to eat unless necessary.

Because Yang Huamei didn't learn how to cook until she was twenty years old. After Shuanzi's mother passed away, the remaining young and old men in the big family, Yang Huamei, as the only woman, could no longer escape, so she could only put on an apron and go into the kitchen.

house.

For an old girl who has been spoiled by the Tan family since she was a child, one can only imagine what Yang Huamei will be like when she becomes a monk halfway and has no one around her to tell her what the food tastes like.

It can be said that as long as it can be cooked, it is the greatest victory.

However, many times, Yang Huamei is still not sure about some meals that test her cooking skills and experience, and often performs abnormally.

Therefore, for the Sun family, they really don't like eating at Lao Wang's house, but sometimes they come here to walk around and it doesn't make sense not to stay and eat.

Now it's Xu Qiaohong, everyone thinks, usually the mother-in-law takes the daughter-in-law to cook, and gives some advice along the way.

After all, my daughter-in-law is young and probably inexperienced.

The food cooked by my mother-in-law is scary enough, but my daughter-in-law... So Mrs. Sun and the others have no idea about this meal.

Even when they were talking in the west room, the kitchen had been busy with pots and pans banging, but they still didn't hold out much hope, just hoping to deal with it early so they could go home. This time

The errand is considered to be completed successfully.

As a result, when Xiao Hei led everyone out of the west room and came to the main room, he saw at a glance the brand new Eight Immortals table, which was already filled with all kinds of dishes.

Good guy, the charcoal fire is burning brightly in the three small clay stoves, and there is a small iron pot on each of them.

There were two small iron pots with lids on, so you couldn't see what was being stewed inside, but the third small iron pot was full of a pot of meatballs, egg dumplings and mushroom soup.

"Tsk, tsk, these meatballs are so big, as big as a child's fist."

Mrs. Liu seemed to have noticed the novelty and exclaimed, running to the table to look at the meatballs.

Looking around again, he saw the third son of Cao Bamei's family. He hurriedly went over and asked the third son to give him a fist.

"Look, guys, I'm not exaggerating, am I? It's really almost the same size!"

The big guy looked at the mistress’s fist, and then looked at the meatballs in the pot. Hey, they’re really about the same size!

Even if it’s small, it’s not that small!

"Isn't this too hard? How much meat is needed for this pot of meatballs? It's so luxurious!" Ms. Liu said.

Mrs. Sun and Cao Bamei also nodded, "This is too expensive. Just fry up a few dishes for rice. We are not outsiders..."

Xiao Hei stood aside and straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and looked proud.

Look, this is the dish made by his sister Qiaohong. Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it an eye-opener for everyone? My sister Qiaohong is amazing!

"Let me see what's in those two small iron pots!" Mrs. Liu was eager to try and was about to open the lid of the third small pot.

"Fourth Aunt, be careful not to burn yourself!"

A crisp voice came into the main room. Xu Qiaohong was wearing a hat to prevent oil smoke on her head, an apron around her waist, and sleeves. She walked lightly to the Eight Immortals table with a plate of stir-fried vegetables in each hand.

Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer, who were standing near the door, saw this and stepped forward to help Cao Bamei take the plate in her hand.

As a result, he was overtaken by a figure.

"Sister Qiaohong, just call me when you want to serve something. Why do you have to serve it yourself? What should you do if you burn your hands?"

This figure was Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei rushed to Xu Qiaohong like a gust of wind. His tone was not only anxious but also mixed with deep worry. However, when he reached out to pick up the dishes, he handled them with care and did not act rashly.

"It's okay, why am I so expensive? It's just two dishes!" Xu Qiaohong said.

Xiao Hei looked Xu Qiaohong from head to toe and said with a serious face: "No, in my heart, Sister Qiaohong, you are the unique Sister Qiaohong in this world. You are precious! Really!"

Xu Qiaohong's face turned completely red.

Others nearby also heard what Xiao Hei said, and Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer also looked on with smiles.

Mrs. Sun said happily: "Our Xiao Hei is really sensible and knows how to care for others..."

Xiao Hei turned around and corrected Sun with a serious face: "It's not that I know how to love others, it's Sister Qiaohong who loves me. She loves me, so of course I want to love her even more!"

Ms. Sun was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled even more happily, nodding her head and saying, "Yes, yes, husband and wife should cherish each other, so that their little life will get better and better!"

Xiao Hei had no reaction to Sun's words. He was as dumbfounded as ever, only looking at the things and people he was looking for.

Xu Qiaohong smiled sheepishly at Mrs. Sun, and raised her hand to invite everyone to sit down.

After Xiao Hei placed two plates of dishes on the table, Xu Qiaohong ordered him again: "There are still dishes on the pot table. You go and bring them over. I'll greet my aunt and cousin."

Xiao Hei nodded, turned around decisively and ran to the kitchen.

And here, Xu Qiaohong came over to greet Jin and Sun to sit down. Seeing that Zhao Liuer and Cao Bamei did not sit down, but squatted there and took out a handkerchief to wipe their children's palms. Xu Qiaohong smiled and said: "Look at me.

Remember, I just poured the water and put it in the basin of the washstand over there, so the two sisters-in-law can wash the children's hands."

The children were eating snacks and had their own saliva, snot, and other things on them. In addition, they were playing in the yard, and their little hands had touched so many things that they were all black and sticky.

Wiping with a handkerchief is really difficult and the children are not willing to cooperate.

Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer looked at each other, thanked Xu Qiaohong, and took the children over to wash their hands and eat.

By chance, Xiao Hei also came over at this moment carrying a tray with three plates of stir-fried vegetables.

Xu Qiaohong placed three plates of dishes on the table, placed a plate of braised pork elbows in front of Liu, a plate of braised chicken in front of Jin who was sitting in the first place, and a plate of braised fish nuggets in front of Sun.

Jin and Sun didn't think anything of it, but Liu's eyes flickered.

While she was sweating, she looked at the placement of these dishes, and then raised her eyes to secretly look at Xu Qiaohong.

This little black daughter-in-law looks young, but she is not simple!

Soon, Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer also led the children who had washed their hands back to the table and sat down. In front of the children were several plates of stir-fried vegetables.

They are braised chicken wings, fried pork with chili, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, stir-fried diced chicken with peanuts, fried shrimp balls with eggs, and vinegared cabbage.

Compared with the other meaty dishes and the steaming pots in the small clay stove, the eyes of several children lit up when they saw these five stir-fried dishes, and they were all clamoring to eat them.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Mom will help you pick up the food. Just be good."

Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer took care of the children one after another, helping with picking up vegetables and so on. It was busy and lively.

And Xu Qiaohong opened the lids of the other two small pots on the clay stoves. Suddenly, the heat and the strong fragrance penetrated from everyone's nostrils and went straight to the Tianling Cap!

"Oh my God, what is this? It's so fragrant, isn't it?" Mrs. Liu had already chewed on the big elbow, and was suddenly hooked by the smell. She couldn't help but stand up and stretched her neck to look at the two bites.

pot.

In one pot, there is fish head stewed with tofu, and the red chopped pepper can make people eat two big bowls of rice!

Although it is a fish head, there is a long piece of fish body underneath the fish head, and the tofu is cut into long strips and placed on top of the fish head to stew loudly. The red chopped chili pepper is spicy and fragrant.

In another pot...

"Ah? Is this... pigeon stew?" Ms. Liu asked in surprise.

Everyone is stewed chicken, but Xu Qiaohong is stewed pigeon.

Xu Qiaohong smiled sweetly, nodded slightly, and gently stirred the pigeon stew pot with a large iron spoon in her hand, revealing small and round pigeon eggs.

"My fourth aunt has good eyesight. She is stewed pigeons. She has raised old pigeons for three years," she said.

Ms. Liu smacked her lips: "One pigeon is worth nine chickens. I've always made up for it. Oops, it's so red. Your old Wang family really spent a lot of money on this meal. This meal is worth a lot of money."

Is it less money?”

Most people wouldn’t ask so directly, just eat it!

But whether Liu is an ordinary person, everyone has accepted the fact that she is not an ordinary person.

So in response to her question, Sun and the others just smiled, shook their heads gently, and shook their heads helplessly.

Xu Qiaohong said: "It doesn't matter if you have money or not. It's rare for a few aunts and cousins ​​to come over to visit my mother-in-law. There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it's okay to let everyone take care of the farm food."

Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly, "If you have enough control, you will definitely be full. These dishes are too hard!"

Xu Qiaohong smiled, raised her arm slightly, and took a large iron spoon full of stewed pigeon and put it firmly into Jin's bowl.

Jin raised her head in shock and couldn't believe that Xu Qiaohong actually helped her pick up the food.

Flattered, Mrs. Jin even stood up, held the bowl in both hands and moved it to the side, making a sound in her mouth and shaking her head.

Everyone could see clearly that Jin was being polite and asked Xu Qiaohong not to pick up food for her anymore.

Xu Qiaohong smiled, slowed down her speaking speed, and said, "Auntie, I will give you a spoonful. You sit down and eat slowly."

Jin then sat down cautiously, blushing, and every wrinkle on her face was a sign of surprise and gratitude.

Cao Bamei and Zhao Liu'er, who were picking up food for the children, secretly glanced at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

Xu Qiaohong greeted their mother-in-law Jin in this way, which also gave them face and respect.

Moreover, when they took the children to wash their hands earlier, they found that the water for washing was neither hot nor ice, and the temperature was just right.

And there was a piece of soap and a clean handkerchief beside it.

To be honest, when I brought the children to visit Lao Wang's house before, my aunt Yang Huamei treated them as the wife of the house. I had never been so attentive and considerate!

It can be seen that this little black wife is really a careful and considerate person. She entertains guests and makes them feel very comfortable.

Xu Qiaohong did not give priority to the Sun family because the third-bedroom girl was better than the girl in the big-household family. Xu Qiaohong followed the eldest and younger generations.

Therefore, the Jin family, who had never had any sense of presence in this family, was very flattered.

As for Mrs. Sun, she is broad-minded and has a big picture. Not only will she not be angry about this kind of thing, but she will look at Xu Qiaohong with more and more satisfaction.

I think this young niece-in-law is doing a good job.

Even people like Mrs. Liu who like to find faults in eggs have nothing to say about Xu Qiaohong's incident!

Next, Xu Qiaohong served dishes to Mrs. Sun and Mr. Liu successively.

They were all hard vegetables in small pots, and all three aunts had their share, without favoring one over the other.

When Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer arrived, Xu Qiaohong hesitated slightly.

Zhao Liuer was the first to speak out, and she spoke very affectionately and casually, "Qiaohong, your second sister-in-law and I don't need you to greet us. You can just greet their elders. They like to be polite and don't have enough to eat. Our generation is not

You’re welcome, you can eat whatever you want!”

Cao Bamei also smiled and agreed: "Yes, we don't need your help to pick up the food. You can eat it yourself. Don't bother to greet us."

Xu Qiaohong smiled and nodded, "That's alright, the sisters-in-law will stay out of the house and eat whatever they want. The same applies to the children. Don't go hungry when you come to my aunt's house!"

Several children were picking up diced chicken to eat, and all of them ate it with gusto.

Zhao Liu'er touched Xiao Niuniu's head and said to Xu Qiaohong: "You and Xiao Hei should also eat quickly. You have been busy all day and are tired."

Xu Qiaohong nodded, turned around and said to Xiao Hei: "You bring me a bowl of food, and I will wait for my mother and Zhuangzhuang to eat. After you finish delivering it, you can come back and have a meal by yourself."

Xiaohei's eyes had been lingering on the various dishes on the table, not to mention, the irritation coming out was no less than Liu's.

If this had been done elsewhere, before, he would have ruined three or four dishes with his hands in the morning!

But now he can't, he endures it, even if it is very hard, he endures it.

Because this was the food and wine arranged by Sister Qiaohong, no matter how much he wanted to eat, he had to obey Sister Qiaohong's orders.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Hei turned around and rushed out of the main room and went straight to the kitchen.

While chewing the big fish head, Ms. Liu followed Xiao Hei's back out of the corner of her eye. The spicy pepper on the fish head made her gasp, but she still said vaguely: "Don't say it yet, Qiao."

Hong, you really have two skills, look at how well this little Hei has been trained by you, he can do whatever he is told!"

Xu Qiaohong's eyes flickered, and she glanced calmly towards the west room where Yang Huamei was, and then raised her voice a little and said: "Fourth aunt, please don't laugh at me. It's my mother-in-law who has a good way of raising children. Xiaohei is kind-hearted and loves me."

Cherish me, respect me, I am lucky to be able to marry Xiaohei!"

Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she just made a joke casually. Xu Qiaohong explained so much and gave all the credit to Yang Huamei.
Chapter completed!
