I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 17 Remnants
Yu Yuan climbed onto the dining table and stool by himself, fiddled with his fingers boredly, and glanced at the movement in the kitchen from time to time.

Yu Jian probed the temperature of the pot with her fingertips, her hands were a little cold, she found a glass bowl, and scooped up a large spoonful.

The milky white almond milk mixed with highland barley rice looks like green stars in the jade color. Yu Jian grabbed a handful of crushed peanuts and sprinkled it on the surface, then poured a small spoonful of homemade honey syrup on it.

When Father Yu came back from buying vegetables, he saw a plump and fat boy holding a bowl with relish, while shaking his head and calves.

He walked up to him silently, and let out a "huh": "What are you eating again?"

"My sister specially made cheese for me!" The little guy drank the rest of the bowl heroically, and brought the empty bowl to him to show him.

snort!Don't think that he doesn't understand anything at a young age. Dad must be asking for a bite.No way!

That's what my sister made for him!

With a white and tender face and a clear voice, if you ignore the cheap expression, Father Yu still thinks he is quite likable.

He patted Yu Yuanyuan's round forehead and hinted with a smile: "I made it just for you?"

If you have to speak carefully, maybe he can't control the strength of his hand?
Hearing this, Yu Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth down, but his mouth was still stiff: "It was originally...my sister said it herself..." It's just that the voice was much softer...

"I never said that..." Yu Jian came out of the kitchen with two bowls in her hand, and seeing Yu Yuan lowered her head, she gave him a sideways glance, which seemed to be adding insult to injury.

Now, Yu Yuan fell into the target of public criticism.The little guy glanced at his sister in disbelief, then glanced at his father's expression out of the corner of his eye, and ran away...

Father Yu snorted: "It's fast!" He turned to his daughter, took the bowl from her, and told her earnestly, "Don't spoil him, he's too lawless."

Yu Jian pursed her lips and smiled, and handed him a spoon again: "He is my younger brother."

Who do I not spoil? !

The white jade cold cheese has been chilled for a long time, and it is already slightly cool. Father Yu's eyes turned to the glass bowl in his hand, and his eyes lit up.

The tip of the nose was filled with the special aroma of almonds mixed with honey syrup. Father Yu took a deep breath. This smell is too tempting.

The almond milk had completely turned into a milk cake at this moment. Father Yu took a big mouthful, and it was as smooth as velvet. After swallowing, there was a faint sweet fragrance in his breath.

He couldn't help but gave a thumbs up, and drank heavily.

"Ah Jian, did you make this syrup yourself?" Father Yu's tongue was very sensitive, and he could tell the difference of the syrup from the very beginning.

Yu Jian smiled slightly, walked into the kitchen and brought out a small white porcelain jar, "It's the malt syrup I boiled, and this jar is specially brought here for you."

Influenced by her previous life, Yu Jian likes to store things in ancient jars, and even bought many different designs online.It is said that the Tang Dynasty was extravagant, but in her opinion, it was not as good as the modern one.

Father Yu lifted the cover in surprise, and there was amber clear liquid inside.

He sighed again: "Ah Jian, you really gave Dad a big surprise!"

Father Yu was so happy that he simply didn't have dinner, and went out to eat shabu-shabu hot pot as a family.

The pot should be a bronze-colored copper pot, and the water for rinsing the meat must be pure water. When the water boils, there will be big bubbles, and the fresh mutton cut by hand will be put into it.

The mutton is cut into thin slices, and it only needs to be cooked in boiling water for more than ten seconds, and then dipped in a specially prepared dipping sauce, full of chopsticks.

The tenderness of the meat and the saltiness of the sauce make it as enjoyable as possible.

Yu Jian had never tasted such a taste before, and at this moment, she lost her former restraint, taking one mouthful after another, until the tip of her nose was sweating slightly.

She especially likes this sauce. It contains minced garlic and scallions that Father Yu personally prepared for her, as well as several kinds of crushed chili peppers, and topped with sesame oil, vinegar and soy sauce. The more spicy it is, the stronger it becomes. The more you let her get on top.

With this small bowl of sauce, she ate two large plates of mutton by herself.

Little friend Yu Yuan was sitting next to her. He had never seen her sister eat like this before. After hesitating for a moment, he pushed his bowl full of hot mutton slices in front of Yu Jian.

"Sister, I'll give you mine too..."

The night in the capital is far inferior to that in the fishing village. The night sky is gray and there is not a single star to be seen.

Yu Jian moved a chair and sat under the locust tree in front of the yard, counting the flower buds in the branches with her head raised.

The Yu family has been in the capital for many years, and has already saved enough for the down payment to buy a house.But Yu's father misses the past, and has lived in this small courtyard in the old alley for more than ten years.

When Yu Jian first stepped into the yard, she felt inexplicably kind. Every plant and tree here was like the yard in her previous life, even the locust tree in front of the door was the same.

"Ah-Jane...why don't you go back to sleep?"

Father Yu fell asleep and got up to drink water. He vaguely saw someone sitting under the tree, and when he got closer, he realized it was his daughter.

Yu Jian rubbed her bloated stomach, a little embarrassed: "I ate too much at night..."

Father Yu smiled, but he couldn't laugh at him openly, so he simply took another chair and stayed with her.

"Father..." Yu Jian hesitated for a long time, and brought up the things that bothered her recently, "You know our family..."

"What? You said it's a remnant score?" Father Yu stood up from his chair in shock, with an extremely serious expression.

"Well, the dishes are not coherent, a lot is missing, it should be reordered."

Yu Jian accidentally dropped it on the ground when she was sorting things out. When she picked it up, she found that the pages of the booklet were very different. She carefully read the records of each dish and determined that it should only be half a point.

The Yu family started with Hokkien cuisine, and there were four main dishes and one soup recorded in the remnants of the recipe. The ancient method really opened Yu Jian's eyes.

"I remember grandma said that the house was ransacked during the war, and maybe the recipes changed at that time." Yu Jian recalled the relationship history grandma told her, and made a guess.

Father Yu was also caught in the memory. When his father gave him the recipe, he only said it was a family property, but then there was a sudden change, and he had no time to ask questions, and his father passed away in a hurry.

In addition, he also has self-knowledge, so after so many years, he can only cook the first dish decently, and the rest... is really limited...

Father Yu sat back on the chair again, looked at his daughter's white forehead under the moonlight, took off a few petals of Sophora japonica flowers that fell in her hair, and sighed faintly: "Ah Jian, do you blame Dad?"

Yu Jian was a little puzzled.

"I left you in the fishing village for so many years, and now I want you to be the leader of Lao Yu's family. In fact, your grandma didn't agree with me giving you the recipe..."

Father Yu's mother's face full of dimples appeared in front of his eyes. She patted the table and said to him, "Yu Jianguo, you have been like this since you were a child! The Yu family is your responsibility! It's not Ah Jian's! After so many years, You, your wife, and I all owe Ah Jian!"

How could he not know what his mother said!

Ever since Ah Jian asked to stay in the fishing village to take care of his old mother, he was mentally prepared, even if his daughter didn't recognize him as a father in the future, he would have to bear it.

"No." Yu Jian interrupted Father Yu's thoughts, and she said in the most serious voice, "I never blamed you."

So, please don't have any psychological burden.This is Yu Jian's choice, and it is also her choice.
