Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 408 Pine Nut Fish

Dinner was very rich.

There are fish, meat and vegetables.

But after a closer look, Meng Baiyun felt sad again.

"Mother, is this meat from overnight? Is this dish too?"

"where."

"The taste of dried tofu in the meat is bland, and it hasn't been fully cooked. It must be an old dish. When it was re-rolled, some dried tofu was added in. And this dish is almost steamed. Mom, how often do you cook? Just eat these? Didn’t you say there are fish?”

The old servant who was waiting on the side said a word: "Miss, it's not like this every day. I can't finish the food. Madam is afraid that the aunts will feed it to the cats and dogs, so she will try her best to eat it. It was yesterday that the aunts and The young master and miss are all going to the market, the rest of the food will not be fed to the dogs, only the lady will keep it, and eat it hot today."

Meng Baiyun frowned.

Liu Yingying was a little nervous: "Baiyun, don't listen to Mrs. Xue's nonsense, the weather hasn't turned warm yet, and people in the country will save their endless meals for the next day. When the weather turns warm, the meals won't be kept overnight. Mother will not eat."

"Mom, didn't I hire an accountant? Why do you wrong yourself like this? You gave them money to go shopping and squander, and fed food to the cats and dogs. You are my mother and the owner of this house. Don't you even care about cats and dogs?" Wouldn't it be better?"

Liu Yingying was even more embarrassed: "Baiyun..."

"No wonder you are plump. It turns out that you are reluctant to part with that morsel of food. If you are full, you are afraid that they will waste it feeding cats and dogs, so you insist on stuffing it. Mom, I hope to see you in good health, but I don't want you to live so frugally. It can't provide for your previous life, and I don't agree with you eating leftovers, but if you eat it alone, how uncomfortable you make me feel, I will feel that you have been wronged, do you know?"

"White Cloud."

Meng Baiyun put down his chopsticks, his nose sore.

The woman in front of me had such an unfortunate life.
When she was young, the beauty of the city brought her nothing, but a mispaid love and a child with an unknown father.

Two men ruined her half life.

Another man, who had cared for her for half a lifetime, was about to die, but let go.

The only person in the world who truly loved her has left.

She worked hard to guard the house for this man.

However, from old to young, everyone lived a chic and nourishing life, but she alone had to be so poor and miserable.

She has suffered all her life, hasn't she suffered enough?
"Baiyun, mother, mother will not eat it in the future. These, these are new dishes. If your grandmother can't finish a fish, she will send half of it. The fish is also fresh."

Meng Baiyun looked at the dishes on the table with sore eyes.

She stood up suddenly.

Liu Yingying thought she was angry, so she stood up cautiously and took her arm: "Baiyun, mother really won't eat leftovers from now on."

Why should she be careful to please everyone.

Meng Baiyun's eye circles were red, she didn't want to see her look helpless, this made Meng Baiyun feel guilty.

She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled softly: "Mother, I'm not angry, but I haven't told my mother that my cooking skills are actually quite good. I'll go to the kitchen and cook two dishes for my mother to try."

Liu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing that Meng Baiyun was still very concerned about her eating leftovers.

Blame her for forgetting about it for a while, and not letting people remove the two plates of leftovers.

"No need, these are enough to eat, otherwise what do you like to eat, there are chickens and ducks in the backyard, let Mrs. Xue go kill a chicken and duck or something?"

Just as she was talking, a maid, Kugua, came back with a messy fish on her face.

Liu Yingying looked at the fish, and didn't pay attention to Meng Baiyun for a while.

"What's the matter, Xiaotao?"

"The old lady said, it's hard to swallow."

"How could it be? It was steamed at noon. It was said to be too light and fishy. It was braised in red at night. Could it be that you want to drink fish soup, Mrs. Xue, is there any fish in the kitchen?"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly said: "Ma'am, there are more, the morning market is cheap, I bought three or four, and keep them in the water tank."

"Then get another one, make a fish soup, put some tofu, the old lady has bad teeth, she always likes tofu."

Mrs. Xue looked embarrassed: "I didn't buy tofu."

"Forget it, let's make fish soup."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mrs. Xue was about to go out, but Meng Baiyun stopped her with his hand: "Sister-in-law Xue, let me go, kill the fish for me."

Liu Yingying hurriedly said: "Baiyun, the kitchen is full of oily smoke."

Meng Baiyun took her mother's hand smoothly: "Mother, come together, I've been missing my mother's cooking too softly, mother will make it again for me to eat."

Liu Yingying sighed lightly: "Hey, well, I hope your grandmother knows that you made the fish yourself, and she can eat more or less. Eat. I haven’t done it for a long time. I’m too soft-hearted. I don’t know if your grandmother likes it or not, so I will send it along with you. If you don’t eat, you can also eat some cakes, otherwise your body will not be able to hold on.”

Her mother may be the reincarnation of Empress Guanshiyin.

As for the arrogant and domineering old lady of the Meng family, no one can bear her bad temper, so she is her mother, who will dedicate a child with filial piety to the end.

After entering the kitchen, although Meng Baiyun heard a big belly, his movements were very familiar.

Mrs. Xue and others all joined in to watch the fun.

The general's wife cooks in person, which is not pretty.

I bought carp, just right.

Mrs. Yuxue and the others killed it and handed it to Meng Baiyun.

Meng Baiyun cut off the head with a knife, and then cut the fish in half from the middle of the back with a knife, removed the bones and spines, and kept the tail.

The movements were done in one go, and even the women who have been busy in the kitchen for half their lives are amazed to see it.

"Miss is really talented."

"Yeah, look at this method, but what is it doing, I have never seen such a method."

"Yeah, look, what kind of cutting method is this? Why do you feel that it needs to be broken continuously? Isn't it necessary to cut into cubes?"

Of course it is not diced, and she is not making diced fish.

The lychee shape is cut on the surface of the fish, and the skin of the fish is not cut.

Since the steamed fish smells fishy, ​​in order to prevent her old lady from picking and choosing, it is better to spend a little time and marinate it.

Wipe the salt, add rice wine and ginger to marinate the fish, and put it in a large clay pot.

The next step is to wait.

While waiting, Meng Baiyun saw the hanging bacon. During the Chinese New Year, those concubines asked someone to dry a lot of chicken, duck and pork. Now there is still a lot left, which is placed in the kitchen vent.

Meng Baiyun took off the bacon, cut a little and tasted it, the taste was not bad.

"Miss wants to make fish and bacon together?"

"No, I just want to eat bacon, do you have Chinese cabbage?"

"Yes, there are. We have our own species in the back yard."

"Cut some small ones for me, preferably palm-sized."

"It's very tender, why not a big one?"

"I told you to make the smaller ones."

There are no baby dishes, let's make some small Chinese cabbage and serve as baby dishes, what do they know.

Bacon and baby dishes are simple and delicious, not to mention that the meat here is pork without hormones, and the dishes here are pollution-free natural farm dishes.

On the other side, across a chopping board, her mother was pitting red dates with some old slaves.

This heart is too soft, the method is simple, but the jujube is troublesome to handle, you can't cut it in half, you can only cut two-thirds, then dig out the jujube core, and then knead the glutinous rice kneaded into small strips and stuff it into the jujube , Put it on the pot and steam it, and it will be done.

Although Meng Baiyun's mother is a young lady from a small family, she is a young lady, so her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and the things in the kitchen can be so simple, but that is the sweetest taste in Meng Baiyun's heart.

The mother and daughter looked at each other at a table, Meng Baiyun smiled sweetly, Liu Yingying was also infected, and chuckled lightly: "Want to eat pumpkin stuffing?"

"It will be all right. "

"I boiled pumpkin syrup at noon, and there's still some in the cupboard. I'll take that and knead the dough later."

"kindness."

"If you're hungry, drink a bowl first. I'll ask Mrs. Xue to warm it up for you."

Meng Baiyun shook his head: "I still have to keep my stomach and eat my mother's cooking. My heart is too soft."

"Okay, I'll do a lot for you."

The atmosphere in the kitchen was warmer than it had been in a long time.

A few servants also chatted noisyly.

There are no longer so many dogmas in the original Meng Mansion, and everyone gets along with each other, which makes the family feel more comfortable.

Time passed quickly, the stick of incense was burned, and Meng Baiyun's fish was also marinated.

I took a piece and gave it to the veil quickly, sucked up the marinade on the fish, and wrapped it in a layer of cornmeal.

Several pairs of eyes looked at it curiously, wondering what she was going to do, whether it was fried, steamed or boiled.

But when she saw her sitting in a pan with heavy oil, it turned out that she was going to fry it.

Fried fish doesn't necessarily suit the old lady's appetite, and the old lady can't eat too greasy things.

But because of her filial piety, no one would say that.

When the oil was hot enough to put the chopsticks into small bubbles, Meng Baiyun shook it to shake off the excess cornmeal, rolled the fish skin into a tube, held the fish tail, and did not put it down, just kept He scooped up the hot oil with a big iron spoon and poured it on the fish.

"Miss, what is this for?"

"Formation."

"Formation? What form."

"It's just a set shape. It's almost done. Let's get out of the way. If there is no splash, you will pay."

Everyone amused her, and scattered outside one after another, but they were all curious about what they were going to make, and they looked into the pot one by one.

I thought that what she said was almost done, but when she let go of her hand, the whole fish slipped into the hot oil pan.

Chi la la, oily smell.

The meat on that fish miraculously exploded like corn, with distinct grains.

"This, what is this?"

"Pine nut fish."

"Pine nuts, it's really like it. Miss, you are really capable. Fish can still do this."

"What is this? Sauerkraut fish is a must, but let the old lady try this first. If you can't buy sauerkraut in the morning market tomorrow, I will make sauerkraut fish for her. If you can't do it, boil the fish, or if you can't, grill the fish. I still can't believe that her old man's mouth can be so tricky."

Some people secretly admire Meng Baiyun.
Everyone knows how the old lady owed her wild granddaughter in the past, but she can have such filial piety today.

They were all overwhelmed by her repaying grievances with kindness. She had already fried the fish, put it back in the pot, and made a thick and bright soup.

In the end, seeing the craving soup poured over the fried fish, the mouth water was almost drawn out.
