90s Little Struggle

Chapter 124 Cooking
Tomb-sweeping Day is also a major traditional spring festival, and they would sweep tombs and offer sacrifices in the afternoon, and after three o'clock in the afternoon, there would be sporadic firecrackers outside.

Xiao Jianjun also hurried back from the provincial capital.

The four families first went to worship the grandpa's generation, and then went to worship Xiao Hong's grandparents, and then went down the mountain.

People in the countryside like to have sons because they are not afraid of being bullied. Now that there are so many people walking together, it becomes more and more powerful and thriving.

But if the child is a daughter, it is the ancestor of the man who will be worshiped after marriage.

Xiao Hong looked back at the grave covered by pine trees, and said silently in her heart: Grandma, granddaughter will never forget you, and will come to see you again in a few months.

After returning home, Liu Meijuan was also ready to start cooking dinner.

Usually when Lou Fenfang was at home, she would help her wash the vegetables and light the fire, but today she disappeared after she came back.

Although Liu Meijuan didn't know what was wrong with her daughter, she got angry at herself.

Anyway, her husband and elder brother were not around, so she didn't bother to pretend to be virtuous.

But she didn't want to let the two outsiders, the Xiao sisters and sisters, watch the fun, so she said hypocritically: "On weekdays, when Fenfang comes home, she cooks for us, and in the morning she helps me collect money and change, but she is busy doing homework I don’t have time, so whoever will help me light a fire?”

Xiao Hong agreed without hesitation, and said very considerately: "Auntie, you have worked hard, why don't you go and have a rest? Just leave the dinner to me and Xiao Fang."

She wanted to work by herself, Xiao Hong felt that he could let her see her eating melon seeds idle in the future, and would not let her work again.

It's a pity that Liu Meijuan didn't know what Xiao Hong was up to, so she was happy to let them cook: "Today I specially left some pork head meat, and I will cut it up and put it on a plate, then cut a small half of the meat and cook it with tofu, and fry another plate Potatoes, stir-fry a plate of green vegetables will be fine."

In fact, the pork head meat could not be sold out yesterday, and it will continue to be sold today, and the remaining one catty was brought back for self-eating.

If it was only their family, she would generously order some bacon to steam rice today, but now that the Xiao sisters are here, she is not happy.

Anyway, there is meat, even if Xiao Jianhua's brother is there, he can't say that he is stingy when he sees it.

It was also fortunate that Xiao Jianjun was there, otherwise Liu Meijuan would not even be willing to take out the pork head for them to eat.

Xiao Hong responded, but didn't intend to do what she said.

She poured vegetable oil and fried tofu first, then cut the pork head, tasted a piece by the way, and stuffed it for the younger sister who was burning the fire to eat too.

After Xiao Fang swallowed it, she murmured to her, "It's really not as fragrant as ours."

"That's right, there are several seasonings missing, so the taste will definitely be different." Xiao Hong asked her to pour herself a cup of tea: "I also put too much salt, I will boil some sugar and fry it later, and you help me put the potatoes Peel and fry the potatoes later."

On the other side, Liu Meijuan carried all the hot and boiled water to the toilet, took a comfortable shower, and then soaked the clothes in washing powder. up.

Xiao Jianhua is like a gentleman, he never helps in the kitchen, and this time, Xiao Jianjun borrowed a van and drove back. He just parked outside the yard, and he also went to see what was fresh.

Xiao Yuhang is not interested in cars now. He was watching TV in the living room, but after smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, he walked over uncontrollably with his legs.

Xiao Hong just took out the potato chips, and when he saw him, he ordered: "Go and call Uncle and the others to come back for dinner."

Xiao Yuhang rolled his eyes: "Hmph, I won't go, you go and shout yourself."

Xiao Hong paused the fried potato fries in front of him: "If you don't shout, I'll send this plate to Xiao Feng to eat."

With Xiao Yuhang's food-protecting temperament, how could he bear this threat, so he could only turn around reluctantly: "Can't I go and shout?"

In fact, when he ran out of the yard, he saw his father, uncle, and two cousins ​​smoking and chatting beside the van. He was glad that he didn't have to go all over the village to find someone: "Dad, hurry up and go back to dinner. Elder sister has done a lot of good things." food."

Xiao Jianhua is a face-saving person, so he was very happy when he heard this, and warmly called his cousins ​​to eat together.

Of course they would not agree. On a day like today, who would have no meat?

They also said that the family should prepare a meal, so they all left.

Xiao Jianhua and his brother came to the kitchen and saw a table of five dishes, but there were two dishes of potato sticks, two dishes of green vegetables, and only one dish of pork head meat was considered a meat dish. Make it richer, why don't you steam the bacon?"

Xiao Hong thought to herself, there is not even a shadow of bacon in the kitchen, I am a clever woman who cannot cook without rice.

But in front of her uncle, she said this as if suing Liu Meijuan, so she smiled and said: "There is still a plate of braised pork, and the leftover fried chicken and fried tofu stew are not on the table?"

She wouldn't listen to Liu Meijuan, and only cut off a small half of the meat?

There are only about three catties of meat in total, half of which is made into braised pork, and the other half is stewed with fried tofu, which is the best way to eat.

They're leaving tomorrow anyway, so why leave half of the meat behind?

Liu Meijuan came in after she brought all the dishes. She saw that the dishes on the table were all oily, but it made her feel bad, and it was too late to regret it. Why did she forget that she was a loose hand?

But in front of Xiao Jianjun, she couldn't say anything, she could only ask, "Did you use all the oil used to fry the fried chicken?"

After Xiao Hong finished eating a piece of braised pork, she looked at her embarrassedly: "I forgot that there is still oil left, but it doesn't matter, the oil won't go bad if you keep it, you can continue to use it for cooking tomorrow That's it."

In fact, the oil after frying chicken will have slag and smell if it is not processed.

She doesn't want those oils to slow down her cooking skills?
Xiao Jianhua didn't care about that, he was very satisfied with his daughter's cooking skills, and praised her: "Your pork head is delicious."

Xiao Hong smiled obediently: "I boiled sugar and stir-fried it, and added garlic leaves, which made it more fragrant and not so salty."

Xiao Jianjun likes the fried tofu very much: "This tofu is fried well. It has a meaty taste and is a little spicy. It tastes very delicious."

Xiao Fang laughed even happier after hearing this: "Then uncle, you should eat more! Uncle, please try my braised pork again."

Xiao Jianjun nodded with a smile: "I borrowed someone else's car, and I'm leaving tomorrow morning, why don't I send you back first?"

Xiao Hong's eyes lit up when he heard that: "That's great, thank you uncle."

Buses often stop on the road, there may be no seats, some people will bring chickens and ducks, and some people smell of sweat.

But she was a little motion sick, which was really painful.

If the uncle is willing to send them off, that would be great.
