Chapter 27
"My in-laws!" Huo Dagui smiled and said to Kou Dewang: "She can't speak with that mouth. It was originally a good intention, but it would be ugly to say it from her mouth."

Kou Dewang just smiled and kept his head down, playing with the wine glass.Huo Dagui guessed his expression, raised his head with a smile and asked Kou Xi, "You cook all the dishes on this table?"

Kou Xi sat facing her father-in-law and nodded, "Well, I cooked all the dishes, and Xiaoman helped me light the fire."

Huo Dagui nodded: "This craftsmanship is better than that of Old Zheng, the head of the village. With his three-legged cat skills, he still runs around the greenhouse to do weddings and weddings." He picked up a peanut with chopsticks and put it in his mouth: "Just This dish is really good."

Li Cuilian was reprimanded by her husband, she shrank her neck and did not dare to shout anymore.Said embarrassingly: "No, Kou Xi's craftsmanship is better. I have made so many dishes in such a short period of time, and now I go to work, and the craftsmanship will be fine at once. When I first got married, the steamed buns were too hard to bite. Old Zhang’s donkeys eat, but donkeys don’t even eat them!”

Kou Xi scraped the tip of his nose with his fingers, and said vaguely: "I learned from my colleagues when I go to work. It's not difficult to cook, and you can learn it as soon as you learn it. My grandma cooks delicious food, maybe I can also cook at will." my mother."

She raised her head and looked at Kou Dewang: "My mother's craftsmanship was very good back then, right Dad?"

Kou Dewang put down his wine glass and said with emotion: "Your mother is very talented in cooking, but she was too poor to eat anything at that time. But as long as she has eaten, she can cook it. You are really good at that." Follow her!"

Gao Liman curled her lips disapprovingly, and put a piece of braised pork in his son's bowl: "You have to see it and eat it, like I haven't seen anything in the world. It's the first time I've seen braised pork with my own eyes. It’s made, and I’ve never heard that there are eggs in it.”

She bowed her head to Huo Tian and said, "You can spend more time with your aunt in the future, your aunt has eaten a lot of delicious food."

Kou Xi couldn't stand Gao Liman's cynicism and sarcasm all the time, and said coldly, "As long as you have the heart to do it, you can't do anything. It depends on whether you work hard on the child."

Kou Xi pointed to this table of dishes and said: "This table looks like Chinese New Year, but it doesn't cost much."

She pointed at the braised pork with her chopsticks: "I bought this pork belly for more than two catties for five yuan, and I bought it for five catties for one and five catties, and I bought raw peanuts for eighty cents. It cost [-] cents, but only half of it was fried. In the market, I spent a total of [-] yuan and returned home."

After a pause, he continued: "The tofu is made at home. Even if I deep-fry it, it doesn't take too much oil. The meat in the bean stewed vermicelli is also cut from the pork belly. Potato chips, carrots Cucumbers, eggplants, and cucumbers are all just brought back from home by me, and I don’t need money to grow them myself!”

In this way, Li Cuilian, the mother-in-law, co-authored half a duck, a few pieces of tofu and four salted duck eggs.Such a table of delicious dishes was all paid for by Kou Xi alone.

"Eight yuan is not expensive!" Gao Liman couldn't help clicking her tongue: "Sister-in-law is a money-maker, we can't compare with you!"

Kou Xi sneered and said, "You can't compare with me!" She rolled her eyes at Gao Liman: "My dad is here, and I pay for the delicious food and drink, four meat, four vegetarian and four cold dishes. Others invite my dad Meals, this is the minimum standard. Your dad is here, and you don't have money to buy food, that's your business."

Kou Xi did not show any weakness, and knocked her seven inches: "If you feel extravagant, you don't have to eat it. Or you can eat some vermicelli, tofu, duck eggs, these are all from the old Huo family. Oh, yes Well, this half of the duck is also the private property of Lao Huo's family, and you can eat it too. As for other things, I spent the money, if you want to eat it, just keep your mouth shut."

What Gao Liman said was very embarrassing, she wanted to forcefully throw her chopsticks and say no to eating.But I really can't bear to part with the good food on this table, I can only turn my grief into appetite.As for Huo Lu, the squabble between his wife and sister-in-law did not stop him from drinking at all.

There are so many appetizers today, he wants to enjoy it.

When Huo Dagui heard Kou Xi's words, he felt a slap in the face.I really couldn't hold back in front of my in-laws, so I bit the bullet and said, "How can you spend money when my in-laws come? When I go out, people can't point at my spine and scold me? Say look at Huo Dagui, alas, I can't bear to have a meal when my in-laws are here. "

Kou Xi smiled and said: "Dad, I didn't mean that. It's just a matter of time. I cooked this table of dishes, and I have a good idea of ​​how much it will cost. If it is expensive, it is also the price of the past two years." The rise is too fast. The red bananas and apples in our unit have risen to one yuan and seventy one catty. The milk powder has risen to three yuan and five!"

Li Cuilian was stunned: "What? The bananas and apples have already risen to one yuan and seven? I really can't afford it!"

Huo Dagui quickly changed the subject, pretending to be very interested and asked, "Where's Guoguang Apple?"

Kou Xi said: "In the first half of the year, it was one yuan and two kilograms. Now that the apples are all available, it will be cheaper. When the Chinese New Year is about to come, the wholesale price will probably be one yuan per kilogram."

Li Cuilian shook her head again and again: "I really can't afford apples, and I can't afford them during the Chinese New Year. Let's buy some frozen pears!" She looked at Kou Dewang's obsequious face: "Dear family, you are a purchaser of a supply and marketing cooperative. You must I can get the purchase price, and we will buy it from you during the Chinese New Year, it will be cheaper."

Gao Liman immediately said: "My uncle will definitely be able to get the purchase price. The family doesn't talk about two things. I will go with my sister-in-law when the New Year is approaching."

What Kou Xi admires the most is the face of Li Cuilian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who can forget the confrontation just now completely in an instant.Thinking of the advantages I can take advantage of, I climbed up the pole.

If you want to argue with them, someone will say: "I am such a straightforward and honest person, I can't speak my mind, don't be like me."

If you are really angry with them, it will make people think you are stingy.Sometimes I really can't say these things, and I feel suffocated when I think about it.

Kou Dewang nodded and smiled and beat Huo Dagui with words: "My daughter is married, and our two families are one family. If I can help, I will definitely help, after all, my child is with you."

but! !! !!

"I've been telling Kou Xi that this person needs a little ambition, especially after you get married. Look at her now, she has a job and can earn money, and she has confidence in everything." Kou Dewang stared at his own Daughter: "Your filial piety to Dad, Dad understands in his heart. Today's meal is indeed a bit too much, but you can't live like this during the New Year. Dad will have to visit you often in the future. You still don't make the family poor. gone?"

Kou Xi nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I am also thinking about improving the food for my family. The Mid-Autumn Festival has not been a good one, and I think my eldest aunt did not have a good time on the day she came back."

Huo Dagui heard Kou Xi mention that Huo Jiaojiao went back to her natal family, and glanced at the table in front of him.Thinking about Kou Xi again, he said that this big table only cost eight yuan.

Her heart sank immediately, and she shot Li Cuilian with a sharp eye, which made Li Cuilian tremble with fright.
