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 down hurts."

"Except for the Spring Festival, Dad doesn't seem to have taken much 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 eldest baby and the third baby would come back on 11th, so he didn't dare to rest in the first half of the year, so he saved up the vacation until now. Come back tomorrow on his own, your dad will rest for a few more days, and it will be gone this year."

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

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

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

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, and both his father and his uncle had to listen to Zhong Jianguo, so he looked at Zhong Jianguo when he 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 said with a smile, looking at Zhengang.

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 Chongzhen just raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to say it again?"

"Stop arguing." Zhong Jianguo knew that if he didn't interrupt, the sons could talk to each other until the evening, "Hurry up and wash your hands."

Cancan dragged Erwa: "Come on, grandpa is angry."

The second baby stumbled and almost hit the third baby.

Seeing this, Zhong Jianguo frowned. He 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." Seeing the waiter Xiao Fang pulling the table, Xue Qi and Liu Jingjing set the bench , "I have to buy a folding table and a few 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 number 20. The second baby, the older baby, and the reborn remarry, and then have a child, our family will shoot Family portraits must be taken from a distance. If they are too close, the people standing on both sides will not be able to take pictures.”

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

Liu Jingjing smiled and said, "Sanwa just doesn't understand love yet. It's time to get enlightened another day, so it's time to take—" He glanced outside and saw that Sanwa hadn't come in yet, and whispered, "Bring Shen Ying back."

"I hope he can get enlightened when he goes back this time." Song Zhaodi said, thinking that Sanwa has not awakened 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 and doesn't grow heart." Song Zhaodi said.

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

At the end of September, Wengzhou Island was still very hot, 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.

Zi Li smiled and said, "Would you like to make a bet?"

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

"I called my mother last night and said we'd be there this afternoon." Zi Li said, "If I guess right, it must be old hen soup tonight to cook noodles. Tomorrow morning's simple meal, there must be crabs at noon. Now is the time to eat. 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." Zi Li said.

Xiao Yun swallowed hard: "Old turtle?"

"That's right." Zi Li said, "When I came back for a few days, my mother fed me swollen and said I was thin."

Xiao Yun didn't quite believe it: "Is it such an exaggeration?"

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

Even so, Xiao Yun still didn'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.

Seeing Xiao Yun's delay in eating, Xue Qi 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.

Sitting next to her by herself, seeing her face was wrong, she wanted to ask if she was ill, and suddenly thought, took the turtle's legs away, and gave her a piece of cartilage around the turtle's shell, "This is delicious."

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

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

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

"I like steak too." Yan Yan said in a milky voice.

Seeing that the two of them were drinking oil, Song Zhaodi also thought about other things: "Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, let your parents do it." Pointing to the money box that has been on top of the refrigerator, she said to Zhenxing, "Buy more and give them to them. Fry some beef."

"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 dad 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, why are you so greedy?"

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

"Just based 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 came to Zhong's house, Xiao Yun and Zi Li hadn't married yet, and Song Zhaodi didn't ask her to do it, so Xiao Yun didn't go into 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 honor her in-laws, she is the elder sister-in-law, and the younger sister-in-law does something wrong, so don't bother with them, etc.

A few days before returning, 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 fried beef fillet. Xiao Yun thought it was easy, so he said to Song Zhaodi, "Mother, tell me how to do it, I'll do it."

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

Xiao Yun wants to say, if you don't fry the steamed buns and beef, if you throw it in the oil pan, it will fry. 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."

When Zhenxing came back from buying beef, 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. He glanced at the chopping board next to him that the beef had not been marinated, and tried to ask, "Do you usually do this?"

Zheng Xing 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 for 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, make a little enough for two meals. When he wants to eat, I will do it." I felt that someone came in, looked up and saw that he was standing on his own, and he was still holding the dumplings in his hand, "Should it be gone? I made it when the eldest baby and the third baby left. I will make some more when you go back tomorrow, 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 dumplings to Xiao Yun: "Mother, I'll do it."

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

Xiao Yun was almost choked by the scorpion, and hurriedly said, "Mother, it's not noon yet."

"Eat a light meal at night." Zi Li smiled and said, "I'll make it at night. Mom, don't make soup tomorrow, drink it for three days in a row. If you continue to drink, we will all get angry."

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, trying to lie to him.

Song Zhaodi: "It's just cooked, and it's still early." Before he could speak, he added, "If you don't obey, I won't give it to you when it's done."

Cancan quickly pulled Yanyan back to the living room.

The steamed buns and beef willows were ready, and 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.

Zhen 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, Zi Li 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 self-reliant thought: "I don't necessarily have time."

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

Taking a closer look on his own, it was Cancan's exercise book, with the detailed steps for making steamed buns and beef tenderloin written in pencil. Self-reliance was surprised: "What did you write? Are you too serious?"

"When I wrote down the steps, I thought, if it doesn't taste good, I'll throw this piece of paper in the earthen stove and burn it. If it tastes good, keep it." Xiao Yun said, "I didn't expect Teacher Song to really 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 write it down, you have to find a notebook."

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

At about two o'clock, woke up on 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.

Seeing him coming down, Song Zhaodi turned off the music: "Wake you up?"

"No." Zi Li 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 and I was sleepy." They asked Cancan and Yanyan to go upstairs to Song Zhaodi's room to watch TV, and then they told Song Zhaodi. Said, "Mother, eat hot pot at night."

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

Zili told her that Xiao Yun secretly memorized the recipe: "Let's make a few more dishes that I like to eat in the past few days, but it is not a dish like soft-shelled turtle that many people can't accept. She must write it all down and go back to practice."

"Zhenxing used to say that they have seven brothers, he is the most honest, and the three babies are the purest. I always think he is 'Wang Po sells melons, sells melons, sells melons and brags about themselves', and the co-authorship is true." Liu Jingjing sympathized with Xiao Yun, "You are not afraid. she knows?"

Zi Li smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, Xiao Fang won't tell her, she won't know." After speaking, he looked back and saw that Xiao Yun didn't come down, and he was relieved.

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

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

Song Zhaodi nodded, and then began to think about it. Xiao Yun can accept it because she likes to eat independently. What are the dishes that she couldn't eat often in Xiao's family before.

In the following week, the Zhong family had few 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 together and Xiao Yun and his sister-in-law were cooking together, that she knew that she had been designed by herself, seemingly harmless to humans and animals. However, at that time, the cooking skills were good, and Xiao Yun, who would do whatever he wanted to eat, didn't care about self-reliance.

That's a long way to go.

Closer to home, Sanwa returned to the army and met his boss once, and was indeed asked if he was going home this time on a blind date.

There is Zhong Jianguo's name on the file of Sanwa. Zhong Jianguo is no longer an unknown teacher, 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 was very smart. She had the deputy commander's father, and the major's brother was covering her. 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 froze in his heart, and asked Sanwa if he had agreed.

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

Shen Ying wanted 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 sides 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 once.

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.

Gengsheng saw Sanwa's smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood. The big boy was very stinky. I wanted to ask, Sanwa was angry with him? Then I thought 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 mother know?!"

"No?" Gengsheng Huo Ran got up, "Sanwazi, you are fast enough. On your birthday last year, you said you could rest for another four or five days in the early twelfth lunar month, but you didn't come back, did you find Shen Ying? went?"
