Pastoral little master

Chapter 334 Fear

In that carriage were Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan.

Wen Xiuyi has been craving Qiduo's homemade dishes for a long time, but he is quite self-conscious. He knows that the past few days are not only hot, but also the busiest farming season in the countryside. In addition to sending some seasonal fruits over, the deity I don't have the nerve to bother Qiduo, because I don't want to trouble Qiduo.

Finally survived the double robbing, counting the days, Qiduo's family should be free, and it happened that the weather was cool today, so Wen Xiuyi couldn't wait to run to the Food City, and pulled Xu Youxuan over with him.

Wen Xiuyi's proposal made Xu Youxuan agree with it with both hands. During these days, the Food City has added more barbecue, but he is really busy, and he has lost several catties.

Now that the barbecue has been launched for some time, customers can help themselves, and he is also free. If he has a chance to go out and relax, he will naturally not refuse.

Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan were the first to go to Qiduo's house, and when they learned that they had come to Luhuapo, they also rushed over.
"Wow, Xiaoqi, you are really amazing now?" Xu Youxuan joked with a smile when he saw Qiduo.
"Ah? What do you mean?" Qiduo was a little baffled by this nonsensical remark. Did she do something earth-shattering that moved him?
"You can count your fingers now." Xu Youxuan continued to smile.

"Third Cousin, what are you talking about, who would be able to tell the truth." Qi Duo didn't understand what he meant even more.

"Haha, Xiaoqi, if you don't know how to count your fingers, how would you know that Xiu Yi and I are coming today, and you came to Luhuapo to catch fish, chickens and ducks." Xu Youxuan revealed the answer.

"Pfft!" That's what it meant, Qiduo couldn't help laughing, and then shabby him and Wen Xiuyi, "Third Cousin, it's not that I know how to count fingers, but that you and Mr. Wen have too sensitive noses. "

"Xiaoqi, are you saying that we are dogs? Dogs have the most sensitive noses. This is not good." Xu Youxuan asked aggrievedly.

"Hee hee, you said that yourself, third cousin, and it has nothing to do with me." Qiduo blinked mischievously.
Wen Xiuyi came over, patted Xu Youxuan's shoulder lightly, and scolded with a smile, "You really dig a hole and jump by yourself, but you can't blame Xiao Qi."

Huang Lianrong turned her wonderful eyes around Wen Xiuyi's body, secretly admiring that there is such a stunning man in the world, I thought Shen Nan's elder brother was the most beautiful, but I didn't expect there to be even more outstanding ones.

Compared with Wen Xiuyi's appearance, she was more curious about the relationship between him and Qiduo.

She is not a fool, she can see that Wen Xiuyi's eyes looking at Qiduo are not pure, but there is deep affection in it.

Huang Lianrong sneered in her heart, this country girl is really capable, not only can she make Shen Nan's elder brother look at her differently, but the stunning beauty in front of her is also attracted by her, it's really amazing.

She subconsciously looked at Shen Nan again, wondering if he could see the difference between Wen Xiu Yi and Qi Duo.

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It doesn't matter if Brother Shen Nan doesn't know, I can tell him!

When the group returned to Qiduo's house, the quiet and warm courtyard suddenly became lively.

Shen Nan seemed to be half the master, helping Tan Dejin entertain Wen Xiuyi, Xu Youxuan, and Huang Lianrong.

Xu and the three sisters Qiduo were busy in the kitchen, and Tan Guihua was also helping.

Tan Guihua was originally embroidering at Qiduo's house. Seeing that there were guests in their house, she offered to help in the kitchen.

Seeing her take the initiative, Xu was also very happy, and she would not refuse.

Since being trained by Mrs. Zhao last time, Tan Guihua has changed a lot, her temper has become calmer, and her words and deeds have become much more reliable.In particular, the bad habit of delicious food has also been changed. Although I am also greedy for some fresh food, I am much more reserved and polite.

Xu believes that as long as it takes time, Tan Guihua will be reborn.
This time, Qiduo is not going to make a whole fish feast. Fresh grass carp is going to be used as three main courses, including grilled whole fish, boiled fish fillets and fish balls.

The fire-roasted whole fish is mainly spicy and has a strong taste, while the fish fillets and fish balls are mainly light. First, it is early autumn, so it is more comfortable to eat light. Second, the light method can also taste the fish better. The original taste.

Qiduo wanted to see how the fish in her own fish pond tasted different from the fish in other ponds.

Chicken and duck are made in the same way. There are heavy-flavored Dapanji and Piaoxiang Duck, as well as fragrant and refreshing Boiled Chicken and Boiled Duck.

Especially the white-cut chicken and white-cut duck, Qiduo just marinated them with some marinade for a little taste, and then cooked them in the wok without adding any seasoning. Then, they will be served with a plate of her secret sauce and eaten with it.

The other dishes are relatively simple, but the more troublesome one is the fish balls.

To make fish balls, kill the fish, clean it, and slice two pieces of fish meat from the lower abdomen.

After removing the bones from the fish meat under the slices, instead of chopping the fish meat into fine pieces with a knife, the whole fish meat is scraped little by little with a knife, and the scraped fish meat becomes fine.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to scrape the minced fish. From time to time, the fish bones exposed on the surface of the meat must be picked out.

After all the minced fish is scraped off, add salt and a certain proportion of water and stir vigorously in one direction until the delicate fish meat becomes almost transparent, which is considered a success.

Finally, prepare a basin of cold water, wash your hands, squeeze out round fish balls from the tiger's mouth, and put them into the cold water with a spoon.

Whether the fish balls are tender or not depends on whether the fresh fish balls float on the water after entering the water.

If the answer is yes, then the fish balls have been made successfully, otherwise the raw fish balls will turn into a paste after entering the water.

Qiduo looked at the crystal clear jade-like fish balls in the basin, feeling very mature.

This is a technical job, not everyone can do it. Back then, she practiced for a long time before she could make fish balls smooth and round, floating in the water.

With these delicious foods at noon, it is natural to call the Shen family and Mrs. Tan and his wife, and Tan Deyou and Tan Decai by the way.

Patriarch Tan sent fish over there, so he didn't call anyone over for the time being.

Because of the large number of people, two tables were set up in the yard, one table for men and one table for women.

Fortunately, Tan Dejin had already made a detachable round table according to Qiduo's request, otherwise, these people would not be able to sit at two tables today.

Everyone was surprised by the rotating table of Qiduo's family.

Wen Xiuyi looked at the seven flowers.

She turned her head away guiltily, deliberately pretending not to see it.

Firstly, the grilled whole fish with aroma and tempting aroma is still sizzling, followed by boiled fish fillet with tomatoes, red and white, plus a little green chives, the color, fragrance and flavor are complete, fish balls and tender green The small green vegetables are made into soup. In the white porcelain soup bowl, the fish balls are like pearls inlaid on the green emerald.

There is also a chopped pepper fish head, which was added by Qiduo later, because there were several fish heads placed there, so they simply made chopped peppers, Zheng Wanru likes spicy food.

After the fish is served, the chicken and duck are on the table, followed by some vegetables and fruits from the field, such as coir raincoat cucumber, Yipin pumpkin cup, ham and wax gourd, dry-stir-fried green beans, tiger-skin green peppers, minced meat eggplant, etc. , the variety of vegetables in the field is particularly rich.

Looking at a table full of dishes, everyone inevitably had to say some kind words.

Qiduo smiled and said, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt, Miss Huang, Mr. Wen, third cousin, and all the uncles, brothers, I invite you to come here today, it's not just a simple meal, I I'm busy and want to ask everyone to help."

"What's the matter, Qiduo, just say it, as long as we can do it, we will definitely accept it." Shen Bin answered quickly.

His words caused everyone to laugh, but they all nodded in approval, and looked at Qiduo with curious eyes, wondering what she could do for everyone's help.

But looking at her smiling face, I knew it was nothing embarrassing.
Huang Lianrong was a little lost in thought, this girl is really amazing, such a table of dishes, don't let me cook, just let me think, I'm afraid I may not be able to come up with it.

Looking at everyone's attitude towards Qiduo, they are all kind and caring, all of them have sincere expressions, and no one is pretending to be false.
For the first time, she didn't dare to underestimate Qiduo.
And the affectionate eyes of Wen Xiuyi and Shen Nan made her feel very sour.

Of course, this sourness is aimed at Shen Nan, not Wen Xiuyi.

Facing everyone's warm and caring eyes, Qiduo's heart was also warm, and she said her purpose with a smile, "I have a small request, please help me taste the fish, chicken and duck carefully, and look at the fish, chicken and duck as usual. What is the difference between the chicken, duck and fish eaten here? Of course, I want to listen to the truth, not to praise my words on purpose."

It turned out that I was just helping to taste the dishes. Everyone laughed more happily and said hello together.

Then, under the leadership of Mr. Tan and Shen Huairen, everyone moved their chopsticks and began to taste seriously.

Under Qiduo's suggestion, everyone ate boiled chicken and duck first. At this time, everyone didn't eat other dishes, so it was easier to taste the real taste.

Each of them took a piece of chicken or duck, dipped in the dish in front of them, and tasted it with a gentle mouth.

Qiduo looked at everyone nervously. She was in the kitchen just now. She tasted it in advance and chose the oldest breast meat. She found that the meat was very delicate and tender, unlike ordinary chicken and duck. The kind that children may not be able to chew.

The tenderness of chicken is obviously better than that of duck.

The chicken and duck are just salted, but after entering the mouth, there is a special fresh fragrance that overflows the whole mouth, which makes the cells in the whole body excited and active.

And based on her many years of cooking experience, this kind of fresh fragrance is not a taste that can be adjusted with seasoning. After eating, that kind of fresh fragrance is still dancing on the tip of the tongue.
However, this is just her personal feeling, and she is worried about whether she is preconceived, thinking that chickens and ducks use their abilities to improve their quality, so she thinks their quality is relatively high psychologically.

Therefore, what she wants to hear most now is everyone's opinions.
Just when Shen Huairen put down his chopsticks and was about to express his personal opinion, Mrs. Wu suddenly brought a middle-aged woman into the yard.

Seeing this middle-aged woman, Qiduo's body trembled inexplicably, as if she was a little afraid of him.

But she didn't know middle-aged women.
