Chapter 20 Fish Head Tofu Soup

Mu Xiyang didn't know why, but felt very familiar, as if she had done it herself.

From the moment she thought of going to the city, there was a kind of magic that made her come to this small courtyard unknowingly.

The kind old man, the innocent and lovely child, apart from the troubles that disturb people's hearts, there is actually a feeling of tranquility in the years.

When the old lady was basking in the sun, she helped take out the quilt in the house to dry, and cleaned the room with Xiaoya again.Although the old lady has limited mobility, she is not a person who can be idle. She will wipe here and there when she has nothing to do, and if she can't move, she will direct her granddaughter to do things.

After cleaning, Mu Xiyang came to the kitchen.First, remove the fish head, add lard to the pan, fry both sides until yellow, then add water to boil.Then chop the chicken pieces into a casserole and simmer the soup. While the soup is simmering, remove the fish to make balls.

After a while, there was a smell of meat lingering in the yard.

When the courtyard door was opened again, what fell into Lu Yunhai's eyes was a scene full of incense.

"Teacher!" After Lu Yunhai said hello, he put the things in his hand one by one where they should be put.

"Well, I have to work hard for you again today." The old lady smiled at this simple and honest young man, looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, and then closed her eyes to bask in the sun.

"Uncle, the briquettes at home are gone, can you help me get them?"

Seeing Lu Yunhai coming in, Xiaoya ran over quickly, tugging at the hem of his clothes and shaking them.

Then he pointed to the position of Mu Xiyang with his finger, waved his hand, motioned him to lower his head, and then leaned close to his ear and said.

"I think my sister's cooking is delicious today!"

Although my sister came over to cook before, they were not as fragrant as today, her saliva was almost swallowed up, and she didn't want to drink water. Her stomach is too small to hold much.

"Then you are lucky today." While speaking, he pointed to the little guy's mouth with his finger: "Look at this little mouth, the saliva is flowing out."

He also thinks that Mu Xiyang's cooking is delicious. Although he has never eaten it before, it does not prevent the teacher from whispering in his ear!

"Uncle, you lied to me."

Xiaoya turned her head away, and touched the corner of her mouth with her hand quietly, but she didn't know that there was no saliva he said, and her little face turned red all of a sudden.Turning his head, staring at a pair of big eyes with puffed cheeks, he questioned Lu Yunhai.

On the man's handsome face, there was still a calm expression, but from the raised corner of his mouth, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

Since he knew that the teacher was in poor health a few years ago, he came to help from time to time.Although he met Mu Xiyang a few times, he always put down his things and left.

"Didn't it mean that there are no briquettes? Help me get the mold."

After taking off his coat, he put on his gown and made briquettes in the yard.

Rural people burn firewood and rarely use briquettes, and even if they do, they are all in large chunks.

Like people in the city, there are either gas stoves or carbon stoves, so they will be made into briquettes before burning, which is also much more convenient.

Coal briquettes are coal powder and yellow clay, mixed in a certain proportion, mixed with water, and made into mud. Then, use a briquette mold to directly press into shape and let it dry.
In fact, Lu Yunhai didn't know how to do it at first, so he had to consult a professional to figure it out.The coal and clay in the yard were all brought by him before, and the grandparents and grandchildren can't use much at home, so every time they are almost finished, he comes over to make some.

Crack large pieces of coal into coal ash, then add water to the clay and mix it with the coal ash.

It’s easy to say, but it’s also physical work.

Looking from the kitchen door, Lu Yunhai's powerful muscles seemed to be dancing, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks one by one.

Xiaoya stood on the side to help him wipe his sweat for a while, and feed him water for a while, she was really a caring little padded jacket.

"Uncle, am I very good today? I've seen my sister look at me many times!" Xiaoya, who was holding a white ceramic cup, looked at Lu Yunhai with a smile and said.

That way, it really seems to be asking for praise.

"Well, Xiaoya is very good today." My sister is also very good today.

Lu Yunhai said silently in his heart, then glanced at the kitchen with his eyes, and turned his head quickly after meeting those shining eyes.

This confused Mu Xiyang, why does this man always like to avoid her?

Do you feel embarrassed?
However, she should be the one who is embarrassed, right?
Since she couldn't think of a reason, Mu Xiyang didn't think about it any more, and hurried to cook. She also planned to visit the Great South Street in the afternoon.

"Teacher, Xiaoya, it's time to eat."

The original plan was to save the chicken soup for the teacher and Xiaoya to eat at night, but since Lu Yunhai came, Mu Xiyang scooped up an extra pot of chicken soup.

The fish head and fish ball soup with radish and tofu is milky and white, with freshly sprinkled green onion floating on it, which looks particularly appetizing.

Chicken soup is pure chicken soup. Although there are not as many ingredients as fish soup, it smells very fragrant.

"Sister, can I ask my uncle to eat with me?"

Although she was too greedy, Xiaoya was still very loyal and did not forget to help Lu Yunhai.

Mu Xiyang patted Xiaoya's head: "Yes, but you must wash your hands before eating."

"My hands have been washed clean." In order to show that she did not lie, Xiaoya showed Mu Xiyang her white and tender hands.

After Mu Xiyang nodded, he hurried to Lu Yunhai's side.

After seeing a lot of soot on his body, he immediately giggled: "Uncle is dirtier than me!"

"Smelly girl!" Lu Yunhai said affectionately and coldly, raised his hand and tapped her on the head helplessly.

Xiaoya was not angry, but still giggled: "Uncle, you'd better wash your hands quickly, or sister won't let you eat!"

After saying this, Mu Xiyang felt a little embarrassed, with a look of embarrassment on her face, she obviously wanted her to wash her hands.

He lowered his head and gave the teacher a ladle of soup: "I see that your health has improved a lot recently, and you will need to spend more time in the sun in the future. You can drink more soup in your daily diet to facilitate absorption, so that your body will heal faster."

Although she is not a doctor, she has learned about some basic pathologies. The old lady is depressed and needs to be supported.

Heart disease is the most difficult to cure, except for medicine, you still have to rely on yourself.

"If it's not that I can't let Xiaoya go, it doesn't matter if I live or not."

The sad voice of the old lady made Mu Xiyang's nose ache: "You said that again, the days to come will be better, maybe someday your family will be able to reunite together!"

"Well, don't worry, I won't just go if I don't see them." Looking at the granddaughter who bowed her head to talk to Lu Yunhai, the old lady's cloudy eyes also ignited a little light.

While eating, the courtyard was quiet.Seeing that Lu Yunhai only drank soup, Mu Xiyang scooped up a few pieces of chicken for him, and seeing that he was about to refuse, he immediately said: "Xiaoya and the teacher can't eat much, you finish the chicken, and they cook some vermicelli or noodles at night. "

The chicken breast had been cut by Mu Xiyang and frozen in the well, ready to be picked up when they wanted to eat.

Lu Yunhai didn't say a word, but he didn't slow down his eating either. After everyone finished eating, he took the initiative to do the washing up.
