Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 264 All the children born to Xiao's mother are stubborn
With Li Rui and Xiao Han around, the meal for several people was quickly ready.

Li Rui stewed a pot of pickled cabbage and pork, and the young man, under his guidance, fried a few home-cooked dishes and stewed a fish.

After the food was served, everyone gathered around the table.

It was cold outside, but it was warm inside the house.

The casserole placed in the middle was still bubbling with steam because there was an alcohol stove underneath.

Mother Xiao looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her and asked her son:
"Did you ask Boss Li to cook?"

Li Rui explained with a smile: "He basically cooked these dishes, and I just helped out."

Xiao Han put the sauerkraut and pork into his mother's bowl.

"Mom, you have to believe me. I learned a lot from my boss. Come and try it. I remember you used to like eating pickled cabbage very much."

Mother Xiao seemed to really like sauerkraut. After Xiao Han put the sauerkraut and pork into her bowl, she turned her attention to the bowl.

The sour and meaty aromas intertwined together make people very appetizing.

She picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.

The pork belly has no color and looks a bit bland, but when you eat it, your mouth is full of the mellow flavor of meat and the texture is very tender.

The sauerkraut is sour and soft, and crispy and green.

After biting it open, the rich and sour juice inside stimulates saliva to be secreted continuously in the mouth, which is extremely delicious.

The two ingredients, pork belly and sauerkraut, have already developed a secret love for each other while being simmered over low heat in the casserole.

But beautiful love always requires a two-way effort.

The sauerkraut helps to reduce the fat in the pork belly.

The sauerkraut, when combined with the meat slices, makes the sour taste even more pleasant.

Mother Xiao really likes the taste of pickled cabbage and pork. She urged the children at the table:
"It's really delicious, you guys should try it too."

In addition to pickled cabbage and pork,

The grass carp stewed on the table was also very good.

Stew fish over high heat and stew meat over low heat.

After the soup becomes thick, it tastes delicious.

Dried beans and tofu are also added in it, which absorbs the broth from the stewed fish and tastes better than fish meat.

There were several dishes that Xiao Qing watched her brother cook with her own eyes, and after tasting them, she was amazed again and again.

She was very surprised that her brother's cooking skills had improved so significantly.

"Brother, you've been practicing a lot lately."

"Okay."

Xiao Ma also patted Xiao Han's arm: "Look, he is stronger than before."

“Oh, it seems to be true.”

Xiao Han knew that when the boss was teaching him how to cook, he was just about pouring the food directly into his mouth.

If you still can't cook a few special dishes now,

That would really be a waste of the boss's hard work.

Not to mention that he would have to participate in a competition in a few months. If he didn't perform well, it would be embarrassing.

From the conversation among a few young people, Xiao's mother learned that almost all the dishes on the table were cooked by Xiao Han.

Since it was done by my son,
She then began to pick up food for Li Rui and Xiao Ma unscrupulously.

"You two should eat more, it's like being at home."

Then Mother Xiao said to her daughter:
"Qingqing, bring a soup spoon over here and help your brother and sister scoop some soup."

"OK."

Compared to the son who dropped out of school,
My daughter Xiao Qing has always been the pride of my mother.

His academic performance is among the best in the school, and I heard that he has a good chance of being admitted to a key university.

Mother Xiao was very pleased that her daughter was so successful.

After going to college, I won’t have to become a chef after graduation. Finally, someone in the family can leave the cooking industry.

In fact, if it weren’t for Lao Xiao’s incident.

It would be nice to let Qingqing take the civil service exam. It would be great for a girl to have a stable job. Thinking of her husband, Mother Xiao sighed silently.

Lao Xiao’s incident is now in the past. She strongly disapproves of her son continuing to participate in competitions and getting involved in muddy waters at some cooking convention.

Why bother with that?

A family living in peace and safety is better than anything else.

Soon, Xiao Qing brought over a soup spoon. She helped Li Rui and Xiao Ma scoop two spoonfuls of soup from the casserole and poured it on the rice.

"Thank you Qingqing."

The rich white and slightly yellowish sauerkraut and pork soup is poured hot over the rice.

It is definitely the ultimate delicacy in winter.

The broth is sour and appetizing. Even if you only eat the soup with rice, you can eat two bowls.

At the dinner table, Xiao's mother learned that both Li Rui and Xiao Ma had attended college, so she decided to take this opportunity to let them tell their daughter about college and employment.

She said to Xiao Qing:

"Qingqing, ask your brothers and sisters what major to choose in college."

Parents often make their children feel embarrassed in such situations.

Mother Xiao is no exception.

After hearing what her mother said, Xiao Qing's face turned slightly red.

"Mom, I've asked Sister Xiao Ma, and I'm going to apply for the law major in the future."

Mother Xiao has no idea what college is like.

"We don't have any connections. If I become a lawyer, will I not be able to get any cases? I heard that e-commerce and artificial intelligence are also very powerful. You are so good at science."

Xiao Qing interrupted her mother.

"I don't care about that mess. I must study law."

"My father was wrongly accused, and those who harmed him should all be arrested."

"I want justice for my dad."

The little girl looked weak, but her words were powerful.

Li Rui and Xiao Ma both admired Xiao Qing's determination.

It was also the first time that Xiao Han heard his sister express her feelings. He thought his sister was still young at that time, but he didn't expect that she had never forgotten what happened.

Indeed, as children, we should protect what our father cherishes.

Do you need any reason?

After hearing what her daughter said, Xiao Han's mother frowned together.

The younger generations at the table thought for a moment that she was feeling unwell again.

They asked:
"Are you okay, Auntie?"

“Is the sauerkraut too sour?”

"Mom, do you want to go inside and rest for a while?"

Mother Xiao waved her hands quickly, "It's okay, it's okay."

But I secretly thought:
"One by one, why do I always give birth to stubborn kids?"

After lunch, Mother Xiao still felt a little embarrassed because she had originally wanted to invite Li Rui and the others to sit in the restaurant.

As a result, Boss Li was asked to help in the kitchen.

However, Li Rui repeatedly emphasized: "Auntie, you asked us to treat this place as home and cook our own meals at home, isn't that a normal thing?"

Because Li Rui had to continue working in the store at night, Xiao's mother did not try to keep them.

After the others left, she started chatting with her daughter with some confusion:

"Qingqing, you said your brother is his boss, why are you helping him so much?"

Xiao Qing recalled the brief time she spent with Li Rui.

"I'm not sure, but I feel like he cooks very purely because he simply enjoys cooking. It's very similar to what my dad described."

"Brother, you will definitely learn a lot from him."
