I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1153 Boiled Cabbage

Xia Xingxing was extraordinarily diligent. He took care of the ingredients needed for the New Year's Eve dinner, and started frying meatballs, sanzi and hemp leaves.

They were all prepared by Li Xiuhong and Xia Mu in advance.

There is also a bucket of small miscellaneous fish, which has been treated very clean, wrapped in batter and waiting to be put into the pot.

The hemp leaves are made of glutinous rice flour, sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds, dried and fried, and soon turn yellow. The rich aroma permeates the small courtyard. Li Xingxing smelled it and came to him, "Little Brother Xia, you What delicious food?"

"There's chicken soup." Xia Mingxing raised his hand to fill a bowl for her, took a big chicken leg and put it in the bowl, "Let it cool down and drink it."

Li Xingxing didn't look at the pot, but just sniffed the taste, "It's not just chicken soup, right? It seems to have the umami taste of ham in it."

"You have a good nose." Xia Mingxing admired, "Eat boiled cabbage at night."

Li Xingxing cheered: "That's great!"

Immediately there was a hint of doubt: "Boiled cabbage is a kung fu dish. Chicken, duck, ham, ribs and scallops are used to make the broth, and the duck is used to make eight-treasure duck. Are the ingredients complete?"

Li Xiuhong couldn't help but said: "Xing Xing, you really have researched food."

Xia's mother also smiled when she heard the words, and said to Li Xingxing: "When you were sleeping, the supply department sent your father's Spring Festival supplies. In addition to tobacco and wine, melons and fruits, candies and cakes, there are chickens, ducks, and fishes. If you don’t cook fish, do you want braised carp in braised sauce or sweet and sour carp? I think the carp delivered is very good, it’s alive and kicking, and the meat must be of good quality.”

"Sweet and sour carp!" Li Xingxing blurted out.

Recently, I especially like sweet and sour and appetizing food.

Xia Mingxing immediately said: "Then make sweet and sour carp, boiled cabbage, Wensi tofu, braised lion's head."

"Only four?" Li Xingxing felt that it was not enough.

"Of course there are other things." Xia Mingxing then read out a series of menus, and saw the beauty blooming on Li Xingxing's face as he wished, as gorgeous and bright as the rosy clouds in the sky.

Xia Mingxing was in a turmoil and almost forgot to fish out the fried hemp leaves.

Li Xingxing reminded him, "Although I can't eat fried food, you can't be careless!"

Xia Xingxing quickly picked up the strainer and fished out the hemp leaves. Xia's mother next to him was puzzled: "Why can't you eat fried food? All fried food is deep-fried, full of oil and water, and nutritious."

If any pregnant woman can eat fried food every day, she will be so beautiful that she can go to heaven.

Li Xiuhong came back early, so she knew a little about it, and explained: "Xing Xing said that fried food will produce a substance that is not good for pregnant women and fetuses during the frying process, and said that fried food is nothing but oil. It is nutritious and can also suppress appetite, because fried food is easy to produce a feeling of fullness, and you can’t eat other nutritious foods after eating. I don’t understand her words very well, but she has read a lot and has a lot of knowledge, so I guess it makes sense , anyway, our family is not short of oil and water."

Before Xingxing came back, fried food was also a rare delicacy for her. She didn’t eat it once or twice a year, and only had the opportunity to enjoy it during the Chinese New Year.

Now?

She often eats rice, white noodles, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and she doesn't eat much fried food anymore.

After hearing Li Xiuhong's words, Xia's mother immediately said: "Since it's not good, let's not eat it. Xingxing, drink the soup quickly, eat the chicken legs, fill your stomach, and eat better at night."

Li Xingxing agreed very simply.

Seeing Xia Qinghui coming in from the outside, she called Xia Mingxing: "Brother Xia, bring that chicken leg to Qinghui."

Without waiting for Xia Mingxing to agree, Xia Qinghui waved his hand first, "Auntie, I'm full from eating meatballs just now, and I don't want to eat now, so hurry up and drink soup and meat to supplement nutrition for younger brothers and sisters."

Li Xingxing couldn't help but praise him: "Good boy!"

Xia Mingqi's thoughts are understandable, how could Lin Lan ignore her son?
