Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

"Miss Hong, I will only have Yaoniang as a woman in my life. I don't want to do anything else. I think you are a smart person and you should understand what I mean, right?"

Ji Zhixu had already made the words so clear, Xiaohong still couldn't understand, which made her face flushed with embarrassment, and she hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything else.

When she got to the kitchen, Xiaohong said in a low voice: "Mr. Ji, thank you, I can do the rest by myself."

"fine."

On weekdays, Ji Zhixu also does housework together at home, so it is also handy to wash the dishes, and all the dishes and chopsticks are solved in just two strokes.

At this moment, the conversation between Mu Daiyao and the Patriarch of the Liu family came from outside.

"Then I'll make an exception and cook a dish in front of you, Mr. Liu. If you are satisfied, I will use this recipe for tonight's banquet. What do you think?"

"Okay, Mrs. Ji, you arrange it, and the old man just sits and waits for dinner, haha."

As soon as the words were finished, Mu Daiyao stepped into the kitchen, and saw Ji Zhixu when she raised her eyes.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"Is Yaoniang caring about me?"

The Patriarch of the Liu family agreed with a smile, and then moved a stool and sat aside, waiting for Mu Daiyao to prepare the food for him to try.

But when she turned her back to Ji Zhixu, there was still a faint smile in her eyes.

Then Mu Daiyao quickly used a knife to draw a few patterns on the back of the fish. Next, after heating up the lard, put the fish in and fry until golden, then turn over and steam the other side.

"Yao Niang, I just eat and have nothing to do and walk around," Ji Zhixu responded lightly, and then nodded slightly to the head of the Liu family, "Master Liu, what a coincidence."

"Then you sit down too, Mr. Don't stand still."

Mu Daiyao replied with a smile, while deftly pouring hot water into the cauldron to cover the whole fish, then turned the cauldron so that the fish body lay flat on the bottom of the cauldron. Put the prepared onion, garlic and ginger slices in.

Unexpectedly, the taste of this fish fried in lard can make people salivate.

It doesn't look difficult, it feels like an ordinary home-cooked dish, but Xiao Cui feels that this home-cooked dish seems to be much more delicious than what her master and wife used to eat.

Mu Daiyao was also willing to answer, so she explained to her: "The next step is to simmer slowly on a low fire. When the tofu is cooked, you can collect the sauce and serve."

Stewed pork is the most appetizing, especially Mu Daiyao specially selected a piece of beef hoof meat with tendons, blanched it once, and then soaked it in well water for about half an hour.

"Not yet."

When the time came, Mu Daiyao scooped it up, cut it into evenly sized pieces along the lines of the beef hooves and put them aside for later use.

Peel off the scales of the fish, then scoop up a large spoonful of water, wash the fish clean, and check the inside of the fish's abdominal cavity again. After seeing that the black skin inside has also been washed off, Mu Daiyao nodded in satisfaction .

Xiao Cui was curious about it, and wanted to ask about everything.

The stewed beef tendons are so delicious that people will lose their tongues. Mu Daiyao put these spices, light soy sauce, sugar and salt into a high pot, add water to boil and let it cool.

"Of course it doesn't matter. Mr. Ji and his wife are a family. Mrs. Ji, you are in charge, so naturally you have the final say."

Almost forgot about this good baby that can absorb soup, Mu Daiyao hurriedly asked Xiaocui to look at the pot, she took a large piece of tofu, cut it into small pieces, put it into the pot and stewed it together.

The head of the Liu family raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes but didn't say anything, "It's a coincidence, Mr. Ji, I didn't expect you to come to the kitchen when you were wandering around."

Compared with the market in the village, the spice shop in the town has everything you need. Mu Daiyao was almost dazzled in the morning, and bought all the spices she needed in one go.

"Master Liu, shouldn't it affect you?"

If the inside of the fish is not cleaned, it is easy to make the fish taste bitter and difficult to eat.

"What else do you need to do next?"

Xiaocui asked curiously, she could already smell the smell of fried fish, and she couldn't stop looking at it with a bit of greed.

"No, it's because you're blocking my way."

The Patriarch of the Liu family was afraid that Mu Daiyao would not be able to do it alone, so he called Xiaocui to help her.

Thinking of making something with a stronger taste next time, Mu Daiyao was a little eager to try.

"By the way, there is also that tofu."

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao responded blankly.

she asked with some doubts.

For the first dish, let’s make a stomach-warming tofu stewed fish.

During the past two days of getting along, he has already seen that Mr. Ji doesn't want to be separated from his wife for even a moment. It's a coincidence, maybe he has been waiting here for a long time.

"It smells so good, is this all right?"

Mu Daiyao usually used to wait until the seasoning time to put in the seasoning, so as not to be too salty.

Ji Zhixu smiled slightly at the head of the Liu family and said.

I don't know whether the friend Master Liu invited to the banquet would like a stronger or lighter taste. Mu Daiyao hesitated for a while, and then realized that there are strong dishes on the recipe anyway, so this stewed fish with tofu should be light. .

Then when he turned his head to look at Mu Daiyao, the smile on his face immediately became warm and real, "Yao Niang, can I watch you cook here?"

Apart from the common ones such as cinnamon and pepper, there are even rarer ones such as star anise, bay leaves, cumin and peppercorns.

In the morning, I also bought several fish. Mu Daiyao grabbed a live fish and threw it on the chopping board. She knocked it out with a kitchen knife.

"Yeah, maybe it's because I also had a premonition that Yaoniang would come here, so I stopped by to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet her."

Mu Daiyao gave Ji Zhixu a slightly annoyed look, but followed his wishes and made a request to the Patriarch of the Liu family.

Ji Zhixu asked in a good mood, his brows and eyes curved, sweeping away the depressed mood he had woken up early in the morning.

Mu Daiyao turned around, and when passing by Ji Zhixu, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed him, asking him to find a chair to sit down too.

Then put the beef tendons into the cold brine and soak them, then put the whole heavy pot on another stove, and ask Xiaocui to help watch the fire, and make sure to keep it on a low fire. Cook, so that the flavor of those spices can be fully integrated into the tendons of the beef.

When the time comes, the tendons of the beef will be tender and springy. Finally, with her special dipping sauce, the result will definitely be very delicious.

"Stewed fish with tofu, stewed beef tendon, Miss Mu, what else do we have?"

Xiao Cui was dazzled by the sight, and asked expectantly while rubbing her hands.

Although Ji Zhixu who was sitting next to him was also very curious, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the very calm look of the Patriarch of the Liu family, so he also resisted not opening his mouth, but secretly pricked up his ears.
