Chapter 291： learn to cook

Song Zhaodi glanced at Erwa lightly, and stood up: "Aren't you going to eat?" But she said to Zhong Jianguo.

Zhong Jianguo nodded and stood up on the sofa.

Song Zhaodi reached out her hand subconsciously.

Zhong Jianguo grabbed her hand and couldn't help complaining: "Sitting back hurts."

"Except for the Spring Festival, Dad doesn't seem to have a lot of rest this year." Erwa said, "If you don't rest, you won't have time this year. After the lunar year, your holiday this year will be emptied. "

Song Zhaodi: "Your dad knew that the big baby and the third baby would come back on 11th, so he didn't dare to take a rest in the first half of the year, so he saved the vacation until now. Come back tomorrow on his own, your dad will rest for a few more days, this year It's gone."

"How many days can Dad rest?" Sanwa was curious.

Zhong Jianguo: "This time, for ten days, the name of my vacation is also convalescence."

"Does Dad go to the imperial capital to check?" Sanwa asked, "If you go, when my brother and I go back, we will be together."

Zhong Jianguo shook his head: "No, I checked here a few days ago. Go wash your hands. Cancan, Yanyan, wash your hands and eat with your uncles."

"Don't sing." Yanyan knew that Zhong Jianguo was at home, his father and his uncle had to listen to Zhong Jianguo, so they looked at Zhong Jianguo when they spoke.

Zhong Jianguo nodded. Yanyan ran to Erwa and grabbed his hand: "Uncle Er, I'll go with you."

"Zhengang, I think you can have another one." Erwa looked at Zhengang and said with a smile.

Zhengang opened his mouth to speak, and saw Cancan grabbing Erwa's other arm: "Do you think they really like you? They like the cake you bought."

"Cancan, Yanyan, do you like me because I bought you cakes?" Erwa asked.

The two children shook their heads in unison, and said in unison, "No!"

Erwa Chongzhengang raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to say it again?"

Cancan dragged the second baby: "Come on, grandpa is angry."

The second baby stumbled and almost hit the third baby.

Zhong Jianguo frowned when he saw this, turned to Song Zhaodi and said, "Last night you said that Zi Li and Xiao Yun didn't come back. When they come back, we don't need to look for an audience to sing a big show."

"When they come back on their own, they can be more honest." Song Zhaodi saw Dawa and Gengsheng also go out, "Xiao Yun is a little serious, they don't dare to make trouble in front of Xiao Yun." On the table, Xue Qi and Liu Jingjing set the bench, "I have to buy a folding table and a few more folding chairs tomorrow."

Liu Jingjing: "I really have to buy it. One day our family will gather together, adults and children, and Xiaofang, and we will get a number twenty. If there is another child, we have to take pictures far away when taking family photos. If it is close, the people standing on both sides will not be able to take pictures."

"It seems like Sanwa is already married." Song Zhaodi was about to say that she was right, but suddenly thought that she had left out Sanwa.

Liu Jingjing smiled and said, "Sanwa just doesn't understand love yet. It's time for another day to open up, so it's time to take—" He glanced outside, saw that Sanwa hadn't come in yet, and whispered, "Take Shen Ying with you. return."

"I hope he can get enlightened when he goes back this time." Song Zhaodi said, thinking that Sanwa hasn't enlightened at the age of twenty-seven, she couldn't help sighing, and then she wanted to laugh again.

Zhong Jianguo was curious: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at him only grows older than his heart." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Jianguo wanted to laugh when she heard this. Seeing Sanwa coming in, he put away his smile: "Let's also go outside to wash our hands."

At the end of September, it was still very hot on Wengzhou Island, and it didn't turn cold until Dawa and Sanwa went back. However, twenty days later, when Zi Li and Xiao Yun returned, it was already late autumn on the island, and the temperature was similar to that of the capital.

On the way back, Zili said to Xiao Yun, "We can go back for more than ten days this time. It is conservatively estimated that I have to gain five pounds."

"How can it be so exaggerated." Xiao Yun said with a smile.

Self-reliance smiled: "Would you like to make a bet?"

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment: "No blocking. My mother-in-law is your mother, you know her better than me."

"I called my mother last night and said that we will be there this afternoon." Zi Li said, "If I guessed correctly, it must be old hen soup tonight to cook noodles. Tomorrow morning, it will be simple, noon There must be crabs. It's crab season. There must be fish soup in the evening. The day after tomorrow—"

Xiao Yun hurriedly asked, "Anything else?"

"Pork ribs soup, pig's foot soup, old duck soup, mutton soup, and maybe old turtle soup." said independently.

Xiao Yun swallowed hard: "Old turtle?"

"That's right." Zili said, "I came back for a few days and was swollen by my mother and said I was thin."

Xiao Yun is not convinced: "Is it so exaggerated?"

"When your mother-in-law asks you to drink soup, don't say not to drink it." Zili gave her a vaccination first.

If this is the case, Xiao Yun still doesn't believe it. However, the old hen soup boiled noodles that night, braised pork and crab at noon the next day. In the evening is sea bass stewed tofu. Noon on the third day is the stewed soft-shelled turtle. Xiao Yun was convinced. She also got goosebumps when she saw the turtle's little paws.

Xue Qi saw Xiao Yun's delay in eating, and was very curious: "Why don't you drink soup?" Pointing to her bowl.

"I don't like eating turtle meat very much." Xiao Yun pointed to a leg in the bowl.

Sit by herself next to her, seeing her face is wrong, I want to ask if she is sick, suddenly I think, take the turtle's legs away, and give her a piece of cartilage around the turtle shell, "This is delicious ."

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and stuffed it into his mouth a little bit, surprised: "It's delicious."

"Are you afraid of eating this?" Song Zhaodi saw it, "Then we won't make it tomorrow, we will make steak instead."

Cancan quickly said, "Grandma, I like steak."

"I like steak too." Yan Yan said with milky voice.

Song Zhaodi saw that the two of them were drinking full of oil, and she was thinking about other things: "Tomorrow is the weekend, ask your parents to make it." Pointing to the money box that has been on top of the refrigerator, she said to Zhenxing, "Buy more and fry some beef for them both."

"I like fried beef the most." Cancan said hurriedly.

Yanyan's mouth was so full that he couldn't speak, so he nodded vigorously.

"When your father and his brothers were young, there was nothing to eat at home, and they were thinking about eating all day." Zhong Jianguo wondered, "Our family has never been short of food now, what do you do? Are you so hungry?"

Cancan didn't know what to say, but it took a while to think: "Grandma's cooking is delicious."

"Just relying on this sentence, I will fry a bowl for you." Song Zhaodi said with a smile.

Xiao Yun is not very good at cooking, and when they were working independently, they often ate in the cafeteria because they were busy with work. Occasionally cooking, she also washes and chops vegetables and cooks them independently.

The last time I came to Zhong's house, Xiao Yun and Zi Li were not married yet, and Song Zhaodi didn't ask her to do it, so Xiao Yun didn't enter the kitchen. At that time, she didn't stay at Zhong's house for a few days before returning to the imperial capital.

The night before Xiao Yun and Zili got married, Pei Yuling had a chat with Xiao Yun that after marrying Zili, she should be filial to her in-laws. and many more.

A few days before she came back, Xiao Yun said that she wanted to learn how to cook and asked Zili to teach her. In fact, she was afraid that when she arrived at Zhong's house, she would not even know how to scramble eggs with tomatoes, Song Zhaodi told her mother. So from the night before yesterday, Xiao Yun went to the kitchen to help. However, the most done is to pass a pair of chopsticks to pass a bowl, or pass a knife.

After having breakfast today, I heard that Song Zhaodi really wanted to fry steamed buns and beef fillet. Xiao Yun thought it was simple, so he said to Song Zhaodi: "Mother, tell me how to do it, I will do it."

"You do it?" Song Zhaodi really didn't look down on her, "It's very troublesome, you learn first, and then do it tomorrow."

When the words came to her lips, she thought that the person in front of her was her mother-in-law, one of the people she respected the most, she swallowed the words and said with a smile, "Okay."

Zhenxing bought beef back, Song Zhaodi first marinated the meat, marinated the meat, cut the steamed buns into small pieces, wrapped them in egg liquid and fried them in the pastry. Then he asked Xiao Yun, "Do you also eat like this at home?"

"...No." Xiao Yun really didn't want to admit it, glanced at the chopping board next to him and the beef had not been marinated, and tried to ask, "Do you usually do this?"

The revitalization of finger steak said: "I don't eat it often, but once every ten days."

"Ten days?!" Xiao Yun was surprised, she thought Zhenxing would say a month or two, "Aren't you too troublesome?"

Song Zhaodi: "It's really troublesome, so we all do it together on weekends. In fact, it's also because there are many people in the family. If it's just me and your dad at home, and making a little enough for two meals, when will he think? Eat, when will I do it." I felt someone came in, looked up and saw that he was standing on his own, with the buns in his hand, "Should it be gone? I made it when the eldest baby and the third baby were gone. I will rush you back tomorrow. Make some more and stir-fry it with green vegetables, it can be used as a dish or as a meal.”

Self-reliance gave the remaining half of the naan to Xiao Yun: "Mother, I'll do it."

Song Zhaodi gave him the spatula: "What shall we eat at night?"

"Eat light food at night." Zi Li smiled and said, "I'll make it at night. Mother, don't make soup tomorrow, drink it for three days in a row. If you continue to drink, we all have to drink it. Get on fire."

Song Zhaodi: "I didn't plan to make soup." Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed Cancan and Yanyan running over, "It's not done yet, you can write another word and you can eat it."

"I smell the fragrance." Cancan raised his head and said, don't try to lie to him.

Song Zhaodi: "It's just out of the pot, and it's still early." Without waiting for him to speak, he added, "If you don't obey me, I won't give you food when it's done."

Cancan quickly pulled Yanyan back to the living room.

The steamed buns and beef tenderloin were ready, Song Zhaodi only served them a small bowl. Put the rest in the cupboard and save it for everyone to eat together at lunchtime. Then start cooking.

Zheng just came back from get off work and the food has been put on the table. Seeing Zhong Jianguo moving his chopsticks, Xiao Yun hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put the slices of steamed buns to taste how it tasted. Although it was a little cold, it exceeded Xiao Yun's expectations and was delicious.

After dinner, Zili and Xiao Yun went upstairs to take a nap. When they got to the room, Xiao Yun said, "Let's go back and make steamed buns."

A thought of self-reliance: "I don't necessarily have time."

"I learned it, I do it." Xiao Yun said, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Self-reliance and a closer look, it is Cancan's exercise book, written in pencil, the detailed steps for making steamed buns and beef fillet. Self-reliance was surprised: "You wrote it? Are you too serious?"

"When I wrote down the steps, I thought, if it doesn't taste good, I will throw this piece of paper in the earthen stove and burn it. If it tastes good, I will keep it." Xiao Yun said, "I didn't expect Song The teacher really knows how to cook."

Self-reliance: "These are all our snacks when we were young. We have to stay at home for a week, and my mother will do other things. If you want to memorize it, you have to find a notebook."

"No." Xiao Yun said, "If your mother makes turtle soup again, I won't remember if you want to eat it. I have to see what she will do tomorrow."

Around two o'clock, I woke up on my own and was awakened by the sound. Seeing that Xiao Yun was still sleeping, he didn't call him. Going downstairs to ask, Cancan and Yanyan danced to the music, and fell to the ground when they bumped into each other.

Song Zhaodi saw him come down and turned off the music: "Wake you up?"

"No." Zili said, "I went to bed early last night and woke up late today. I wasn't sleepy at first. I'd better read the newspaper for a while to read the sleepy." Ask Cancan and Yanyan to go upstairs to Song Zhaodi After watching TV in the room, I said to Song Zhaodi, "Mother, eat hot pot at night."

Song Zhaodi thought she heard it wrong: "Aren't you afraid of getting angry?"

Self-reliance told her that Xiao Yun secretly remembered the recipe: "Let's make a few more dishes that I like to eat in the past few days, but they are not like soft-shelled turtles, which are unacceptable to many people. Write it down and go back to practice."

"Zhenxing used to say that they had seven brothers, he was the most honest, and the three children were the purest. I always thought that he was 'Wang Po sells melons and sells melons and brags about himself', and the co-authorship is true." Liu Jingjing said a little Sympathy for Xiao Yun, "Aren't you afraid she will know?"

Self-reliance smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, Xiaofang won't tell, she won't know." After speaking, she looked back and saw that Xiao Yun didn't come down, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Zhaodi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, listen to you. Jingjing, what do you want to eat, let's make more?"

"Wait until I go back on my own." Liu Jingjing said, "Make what he likes to eat first these few days."

Song Zhaodi nodded, and then began to think about it, and Xiao Yun could accept it, and what dishes could not be eaten often in Xiao's family before.

In the following week, the Zhong family had almost no repeated dishes. When Xiao Yun and Zi Li returned, Xiao Yun didn't remember much, but also wrote down more than a dozen snacks, desserts, main dishes, dishes and soups.

It was not until many years later when the family gathered and Xiao Yun and his sister-in-law were cooking together that she knew that she was designed by the seemingly harmless self-reliance. However, at that time, his cooking skills were good, and Xiao Yun, who would do whatever he wanted to eat, didn't care about self-reliance.

That goes a long way.

Let's get down to business, Sanwa returned to the army, once met his boss, and was really asked if he was going home this time on a blind date.

The name of Zhong Jianguo is on the file of Sanwa. Zhong Jianguo is no longer an unknown commander, but the second-in-command of the East China Sea Fleet. So that anyone who has read the file of Sanwa guessed that he was the youngest son of Deputy Commander Zhong.

Sanwa performed very well in the army, and she is also very clever. She has a deputy commander's father and a major's brother. Therefore, many people are staring at Sanwa's marriage.

Sanwa hesitated for a while and said no. His boss is about to introduce him to one. Sanwa agreed, found a public phone and called Shen Ying, and said that his boss wanted to introduce him to a partner and insisted that he meet.

Shen Ying groaned in her heart and asked Sanwa if he agreed.

Sanwa said that his boss knew that he was single, and he could not refuse. After all, in the eyes of his boss, he won't be missing a piece of meat.

Shen Ying wants to say, you have no object, you have me. When it came to her lips, she and Sanwa had not yet established a relationship, so she said to Sanwa, and when they met, she would tell your boss that you are not suitable.

Sanwa met three times and felt inappropriate, so she went to his boss. When I called Shen Ying, I wanted to tell the truth, but I suddenly thought that Song Zhaodi often said "white lies", so I changed it to only one time.

In 1994, on the second day of the second lunar month, Sanwa and Dawa made an appointment to come back together. It happened to be Sunday, except for Erwa, Zhenxing, Zhengang and Rehabilitation were all at home.

Zhengsheng saw Sanwa's smile on his face, he was in a very good mood, and the eldest looked very stinky. I want to ask, Sanwa is angry with him? Then, after thinking about it, Sanwa didn't have the courage: "Sanwazi, what happened to the happy event?"

"Have you talked to Shen Ying?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Sanwa's eyes widened: "How does the mother know?!"

"No?" Gengsheng stood up suddenly, "Sanwazi, you are fast enough. Last year on your birthday, you said that you could rest for another four or five days at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. Didn't come back, did you go looking for Shen Ying?"
