The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 4 Cooking for the Family

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Xu Lijuan had already woken up.

Unexpectedly, this was all reborn. After marrying into the Lin family in the previous life, the habits formed during the years of working as cattle and horses for the Lin family still continued.

Xu Lijuan shook her head, sighed, and found that she couldn't get another sleep, so she got up to wash, then went downstairs to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and quickly drew up the menu for the morning.

So, Zhang Ma, who had been sleeping restlessly all night because of Xu Lijuan's attitude towards Sun Manxue yesterday, got up, smelled the fragrance of food in the air, and then looked at Xu Lijuan who was busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help staring. Eyes rounded, he hurriedly walked a few steps, half complaining and half worried, and said: "A place like the kitchen is not suitable for a delicate woman like Miss, if you get hurt somewhere, don't let everyone feel heartbroken... ..."

In fact, at this moment, Zhang Ma's heart is full of ridicule and contempt, so she just said, with Xu Lijuan's obsessive love for Lin Haocang so much that she wished she could step on her dignity and face and let Lin Haocang trample on her temperament, even if Xu Lijuan really noticed Lin Haocang What does it matter if there are signs of a private relationship with Sun Manxue? !However, Sun Manxue was very worried, and had been talking to her on the phone until the early hours of the morning before hanging up under her comforting persuasion.Fortunately, she lived in the Xu family's mansion, otherwise the phone bill would be a lot of money.

However, it was also because of this that she slept until this time before getting up. She originally planned to go out and buy something to eat, but she didn't expect Xu Lijuan to cook early in the morning!
When Mama Zhang hurried to the kitchen, she raised her head, and she was stunned.

This? !

Is this really the little princess of the Xu family who has the title of "Kitchen Terminator"?This is really the coddled Xu Lijuan who has been raised for 18 years, and even made the idiotic mistake of growing flowers in the soil instead of hanging on trees, let alone distinguishing between soy sauce and vinegar, salt and sugar? !
Without it, the two emerald green dishes placed on the kitchen table at the moment are nothing more than cold dishes that increase appetite just by looking at them, but Xu Lijuan took out more than a dozen steamers from the pot, and there are not only small and cute dishes inside Steamed buns, and dumplings that are chubby like ingots.

There was a large earthen pot above the gas stove that was gurgling steam, and the tangy aroma made Zhang Ma immediately guess that the delicious preserved egg and lean meat porridge was in it, and she couldn't help swallowing it secretly. drool.

"Miss, did you do all of this?"

It's only 7 o'clock now, even if Xu Lijuan wakes up at 6 o'clock, it is impossible to make such a hearty and nutritious breakfast in just one hour!

Could it be that Xu Lijuan called those 24-hour shops early in the morning to send them over and re-arrange the plates, just to make a picture that she made herself? !

Not only Zhang Ma thought so, but even Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, who came here after smelling the fragrance, had such doubts.

Only the old man of the Xu family, who has always been observant, guessed a bit from the leftover scraps on the kitchen counter, squinted his eyes with a smile, and praised without hesitation: "Little boy!" Juan, you have such a skill, grandpa is enjoying the blessing today."

Xu Lijuan said with a smile: "Grandpa, if you praise me like this before you eat it, you won't be afraid that after you eat it, you will think that what I made looks good, but in fact you can't eat it at all, so what should you do?"

Mr. Xu widened his eyes, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? My Xiaojuan is born smart, but it's just cooking, so it's not easy to catch. In the future, you can't bury yourself like this again, you know?"

Xu Lijuan responded, and said, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, please sit outside first, and dinner can be served right away."

Mr. Xu nodded, and finally realized that Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, who hadn't had time to say a few words to Xu Lijuan, all rushed to the living room, and they were not allowed to disturb Xu Lijuan, lest a "proficient" who had finally appeared The daughter of the Xu family who is cooking" was shocked.

Well, in fact, for everyone in the Xu family, even if Xu Lijuan's products don't look very good and taste even weirder, as long as they can be cooked well, Xu Lijuan will still get such praise.Who made Xu's family members be "kitchen terminators" for hundreds of years, cooking a meal properly can set the kitchen on fire, or making raw meals, or messing with some ingredients that can't be put together at all Stewed into a pot of weird soup, it is simply impossible for people to eat? !
Compared with these, Xu Lijuan is really much better!

If Xu Lijuan knew what everyone was thinking, she would probably give a wry smile.

In her previous life, she only had room for Lin Haocang in her heart, and she enjoyed the care and love of the family members of the Xu family as a matter of course, but she never really cared about any of them, and was even willing to die for Lin Haocang's sweet words. Going up the mountain of knives and going down into the sea of ​​fire will not hesitate, what's the point of Ququ's cooking skills? !

It is not an easy task for anyone who wants to learn a skill, and for the Xu family, it is true that cooking is not born with that talent. If you want to learn and be proficient, you have to pay 12 points The hard work requires the determination and belief that Xiaoqiang can't be beaten to death.

For that illusory love, Xu Lijuan took out the determination of the students who took the imperial examination in ancient times to "hang their heads on the beams and pierce their buttocks"...

In fact, Xu Lijuan had indeed succeeded, and this was another thing to be thankful for after she was reborn.

At least, no matter what, now, she can wash her hands and make soup for her parents, and she can even use this to get rid of Zhang Ma, the traitor who has been in the Xu family for more than ten years.

It took nearly a day to finally figure out the history of Xu Lijuan's planet through the Internet. At this moment, the system suddenly said: "Host, that woman has bad intentions for you!"

"..." Hindsight!

"Host, you are slandering this system in your heart again! Let me tell you, with the ability of this system, it is a piece of cake to detect whether a person has a different heart! Whoever made this system cost Dr. X nearly 1000 yuan?" The most perfect plane trader that was researched with years of hard work..."

Xu Lijuan changed her mind and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be quite useful."

"Of course, I think back then..." The system couldn't stand the praise, and it was attached to Xu Lijuan. I didn't know much about Xu Lijuan's temperament, so I thought Xu Lijuan's words were simply a compliment. Unexpectedly, Xu Lijuan is thinking about how to make good use of its ability in the future...

******
Emerald green cucumber salad; salad salad made of white radish, carrot, lettuce, kelp and vermicelli; omelette made with green vegetables, ham and flour, cut into equi-triangular shapes and placed neatly Put it on a plate; wrapped with eight pleats, you can eat one small steamed dumpling in one bite and the fat steamed dumplings have two kinds of fillings, one is leek and egg filling, the other is fresh meat and mushroom filling; A plate of pan-fried dumplings was golden; and in front of everyone was a large bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean pork sprinkled with chopped green onion, which was delicious and tempting to salivate.

They are all very common things, but because people do them differently, everyone in the Xu family who has always despised the rule of "eating without speaking" unanimously forgot other things, and just concentrated on tasting this rare delicacy.

Holding the breakfast that Xu Lijuan specially distributed, Zhang Ma, who returned to her room, felt as if she had overturned the five-flavored bottle in her heart. There were all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and there was an unexplainable depression gathering in her chest. resolve.

Moreover, for some reason, this morning Xu Lijuan has an aura that makes her feel very unsuitable, and the gaze she looks at her is no longer the same as before, not to mention, even when she bows her head, she can still feel Xu Lijuan's gaze cast on her was so cold and indifferent.

This kind of Xu Lijuan inexplicably made her feel chilly. She always felt that something beyond her expectations had happened...
